SNOWSTORM SOLO WINTER CAMP - STORM FORCE WINDS Wild Camping Blencathra Summit Lake District UK

WHAT A NIGHT!!!
A beautiful winters day turning into complete hardship dealing with unforseen circumstances whilst camping on the summit of Blencathra in the Lake District UK. I would never have believed that at 830m above sea level with a temperature of -5 degrees C it would, in a couple of hours, raise the temperature by at least 10 degrees and thaw out a frozen mountain. All water seemed to run towards and through my tent! Dealing with the problems by being calm and thinking carfully of all angles of risk and acting accordingly kept Blue and I safe.
Enjoy the outdoors and minimise your risks but never stop adventuring!
All love
Al and Blue

    Your experiences mate, remind many of us outdoor adventurers of some of our insane moments like this where the weather can turn on a dime and challenge our skillsets to the max. Like yourself, I too like to venture out when storms are predicted to test my kit and ability to adapt to extreme conditions. I'm nearly 73 and continue on in my backpacking and paddling adventures and hope I can until my last day on earth. Your video's are not only entertaining but your message on safety...knowing your limits, bringing the right kit for the conditions, making one's boots and gloves a super high priority, keeping calm in the eye of the storm, etc is so important and you tell it well. We all need mentors and you shine mate as a good example to follow.

I once pitched in 40 mph winds, heavy snow and above tree line (10,700 ft. el.) at 3 AM ! Had to get up and out of the tent to clear away the snow to keep from being completely buried . In the morning there was 5' (60 inches ) of fresh snow. You had it harder!
