  @TonysTrailsАй бұрын

  Hi John. Lovely vid and great camp. We did a couple of walks in that area recently. Those lumps in Pasture Bottom are actually glacial moraines and not spoil heaps. I know what you mean about common sense though, and if more people used it while out on the fells there maybe wouldn’t be so much need for signs and Mountain Rescue call-outs 🤔 I wondered if you’d fancy meeting up for a “colab camp” in the summer. You’re obviously not from “up norf”, so don’t know how often you get here. I fancy Lambfoot Dub, which I think I’ve watched you camp at - fancy it again? You’re obviously a far more experienced wild camper than me and would be great to get some tips off you. Especially on weight reduction! Keep up the good work. Charlie & Tony.

• 
  @MountainManJohnFilmsАй бұрын

  Thanks Tony. Yup I'd be up for a camp. But as you say, although I've done a few, I'm very hit and miss and often last minute ( I work shifts so grab week camp when it fits) ...as for weight. I just don't take too much extra. My gear isn't super lightweight. About 12/14 kg maybe. . . . Should have checked on the mounds but I'm shocked. They look so conical. . .

•

  Thanks Tony. Yes the North ridge is a great route you can make as hard as you like. I've seen dogs on it but it definitely depends on the dog and you may need to assist. The path up from the col before Bristly ridge is easier , but still a rough scramble path. Tryfan is an awesome mini mountain. Very busy but worth it. See if there's a good North ridge film to sway your opinion either way 👍

  "Arrive late and leave early" guideline doesn't matter to you two?

• 
  @MountainManJohnFilms2 ай бұрын

  Yup. It does Richard. The times we stated were well after we were packed. But it also depends on location. We saw nobody till we left. We had breakfast and started packing tents at 7..30. I guess it depends on how early is early. And your take on it. Admittedly I'm normally away early. But on this occasion we were out of the way and I had no problem with it, so we took our time and sat about. There's no set time, it's about respect for others. And on this occasion I saw no problem. I'm a responsible Wild Camper. I park and Pay, I have no fires, and keep out of the way. Thanks for your concern, I can tell your a lover of the Lakes. So am I.

• 
  @richardjennings27082 ай бұрын

  @MountainManJohnFilms apologies for my arsy question, but the Lakes is getting bombarded by "wild campers" creating campsites. Like you said, the guidelines are subjective so common sense should be used in these cases. When I summit camp, I do so solo to have less impact. Each summit is different of course. A peak like Kidsty Pike should be camped more responsibly than let say a large domed topped one like Pillar.

  Hey mate. Great video. I'm curious what time of year was this? I'd like to add this as a side trip to my Haute Route trek in early September but won't have mountaineering gear and am essentially wondering if it's feasible to cross that glacier on foot without it?

•

  It's a great area. Loved it. And there's more peaks from the hut we didn't do just because we had two first timers. It was first week of September. Very dry by then. In fact all the books showed more of the route to be snow/ glacier. You can do it without touching the glacier. We elected to do it direct just to add the short glacier climb. But you can track left direct to the ridge and avoid it. 👍...and thanks for the comment. Appreciate it 👍
