As someone who lives in the Yorkshire dales, I 100% agree with everything in this video.

I thought you were going to tell the old Bob Hope joke about the golfer who lost his cap in a cow field next to the golf course and tried on three before he found his own...

Gareth "you might want to keep watching because we might die", Gareth & Zoe found footage, lol. Looked like a nice spot.

Great video again. You mention Tics, when I was in the forces in the 80s I obviously spent a lot of time out doors. And I can't remember any warning to us about Tics. Do you think Tics have only become a big problem in the last 30yrs or so? I have never been bit by one, midges yes, they love me lol 😂 😂

If you could make it up to Derwent valley in Derbyshire, the remains of the flooded village buildings are visible and accessible due the low water levels. It fascinating to wander round.

"I think that's definitely it" - what a phrase :D

Have you ever tried the citronella candles/tea-lights/joss-sticks? I get bitten to hell by anything with wings, and the tea-lights work a treat for me with the midges 👍🏻👍🏻 Lovely spot that - will going there for my first trip to that area this weekend if I can get away from the garden! 🏕

Nice one both, enjoyed that! You both always make me chuckle, proper as it is camping!

Nice camp, and a nice view in the morning too! When I saw that bottom plunge pool I was like "might send them a message asking where..." then i hear Gareth with "I'm not telling you lot the exact location of this" 😂 Getting my Sherlock hat on it seems 🕵

A happy couple having fun in nature. 👍

Thanks Dave. This was an area we knew really well (up a valley and back down the valley) so no real risk of getting lost. We have map apps on our phones too. If it's up in the mountains though we always take OS maps with us Incase we get proper lost, but tbh we just 'wander' about getting lost on purpose, finding places off the trail. If we followed maps we'd only ever stick to the paths. If you follow our drift?

I thought about trying to find the mine round there. When I was up that valley last time I could see your spot from the other side. Apparently there's one tunnel you can go in with a big engine wheel or something inside. Is that where you were trying to get to? Brave getting down that hill, looked well dodgy!

A another good thing to determine if you have walked through a tic infested area is getting gaffa tape and wrapping it sticky side out around you hand and putting yourself down, tics stick to it and show up against the white of the sticky side 😉

Really good. Getting a kit ready for next years summer ( hopefully ). Getting from start to the trail, relatively unseen, with a backpack, and a backpack that's inconspicuous. Once in and on the trail, hopefully, I'll relax more. But yeah I like your take, as in, get somewhere hardiest, where hardly anyone would likely to go. Good, really good inspiration. Any advice, appreciated.

Well summers relatively easy to blend in with other hikers because you can get away with having a smaller rucksack (most people carry rucksacks when hiking). If anyone asks why you've got a big bag just say you're fitness training for something. Can I ask where you're from and the reason for the above? We just tell people we're camping if they ask. They're normally highly surprised and interested.

@@GarethZoeWildcamps I live in a small town in the North West. Maybe I'm a little overly conscientious. I was going to hike around the Lakes, but I needed the rucksack, but it wasn't to be. And next year ( hopefully ) I'll have the affordability to not be bothered by cost and buy reasonable good quality and throw caution to the wind. I do go hiking, that's my thing, and sometimes I stop at a spot and think, if only I had the kit, I'd stay the night.

Jason, we can assure you if you're pitched up in the lakes (highish up a hill / mountain) no body will bother you at all. People pitching around the lowland lakes get moved on but you'll be fine up any of the hills / mountains. Just pitch away from any main paths and be sensible (ie no fire like) and you'll be grand :)

Hi, great vid as usual. What is it that you treat your clothes with? No heard of it before. Thanks. Managed to pick up some ‘smidge’ from go outdoors today. I remember using 100% deet in the past.
