Me and the lads are aiming to head up to the Lakes from Hull soon. I've been before plenty. Buying a shovel this time so that not only can I clean my fire properly, but I can tidy any others I see left around. It brings me a sense of pride to leave a forest area in a better state than I found it. Cheers for the video, very peacful!

cracking video excellent insight well worth a watch thanks for putting it up really liked it bravo time well spent cheers

Thanks for another great video, beautiful spot, looking forward to taking my canoe to the lakes for a camp. My hair started receding, vanity had left me so I got the clippers out, I felt liberated. I now find fishing, camping or anything that involves staying out of a few nights, no problem. Wash your face and head at the same time. Trust me you’ll never look back.

Cheers Ben for a glimpse of getting back to normality! What stunning views and beer reviews, I certainly won’t be coming to you for a haircut that’s for sure.. love the canoe too. Certainly food for thought to have a canoe and find those hidden beaches etc. I’ve not managed to get my wild camp yet as work takes over (I’m self employed) but I will.

Your Trangia gas burner have a pre heater. That means that you can turn the canister up side down after approx 20 secs of burning, to get full effect even at low temps. Remember to turn the effect way down before flipping the canister👍

You don't get any grief wild camping in those parts?

@Adventure-Outdoors

2 жыл бұрын

Most of the camping is tolerated as long as you camp up high and leave no trace etc. Canoe camping is usually done well away from roads, paths, houses or busy areas so there’s no one around to give you grief. Camping in busy areas near lakes or roads is frowned upon and the National Trust and other landowners are fairly proactive in discouraging that sort of camping as they’ve suffered the usual mess left by lazy/dirty campers 👍
