A lot of amazing places in the UK, unfortunately I ran out of time to enjoy them all! Thanks!

It is very cool that you are able to visit such different places and get to share them. Thank you. Really enjoyed this one.

I grew up in Keswick, and I have to say, this is the first time I've heard it referred to as "the city down below". ^^

@@SpiguyverBackpacking1 I live in London now, but I do miss the Lakes! You kind of don't appreciate it when it's your everyday.

Aaahhhhh...those pics were pretty amazing. I REALLY loved the tarp and two trees. Yikes. Special!

Pretty brave hammock camping in the UK, most of those campsites are pretty barren!

My home. Glad you liked it. Smart decision not to go farther... it can be deceptive! I got here from your hammock review... you sold it to me.

Thanks for watching! It was a great spot, even if the trip didn't go 100% to plan, but what adventure ever does!!!

I throw a tiny light stick in my hammock when I take star pictures and it makes the hammock glow. Its a cool affect with the milky way as a backdrop. With the moon out, you can do this and you will get just a few stars with the mountains being illuminated in the back. Try different color light sticks.

Went looking for this place this weekend. Couldn’t find it 😢. Still found a nice spot but no panoramas.

Sorry to hear that, it took me a fair amount of searching to find it. It's out there!

I live local and would love to know this location as I want to start hammock camping to help with my mental health as it has been good lately

Bassenthwaite lake...... But when the Cumbrians pronounce it ...it sounds like thwit. Thwaite It comes from the Danish language meaning swathe or a a long, wide strip of land. : an area of grass or corn Where they felled the trees to plant crops Danes sort of kept to the west coats and VIKINGS sacked the east coast You didn't miss much top of Skiddaw is pretty uninspiring lol Good video though good spot to

dave mack that’s the one! I knew it began with a B and I smart enough not to try to pronounce it and offend anyone! Beautiful area!

Would an UQ protector have helped?

I think there would have to be some coin tossing or arm wrestling going on for that spot if there's more than one person doing that hike...lol..

what hammock are you using

It is a custom hammock from Trailheadz Hammocks. They are currently making me a new hammock, their UL Wraith.

Ah the Lake District my favourite place in the world. Just a shame the weather is so temperamental.

You camp in the Scottish highlands and don’t bring a windscreen?! Lmao thus using so much extra fuel to heat a meal that it defeats the purpose of a light weight cook kit. Genius!👍🤓

I had plenty of fuel, ended up giving away a half full canister when I left the country. Plus with the small pack I had space was at a premium, as you can see from my jacket on the outside. Plus this was in England, not Scotland!

Lol obviously someone doesn’t know what cold weather does to a GoPro battery either... 🤓 again skills and knowledge outweigh the principle of just because you buy the latest gadgets and the best gear means very little if you don’t have a clue to use it

Right, I pretty much know nothing about anything. This is not a problem with the cold, but whatever, maybe you could come teach me how to use all my gear, and impart the knowledge and skills you have on all life events, right?
