Thanks for visiting my channel.
I am a man well and truly bitten by OCD ( obsessive camping disorder ), who loves exploring wild and remote parts of the UK. As a person who has always struggled with anxiety, it's my life detox and the more remote it is, the more I enjoy it. You'll find me wild camping and staying in bothies, all using equipment that doesn't break the bank. I'm certainly not made of money!
I also love being active, so if there is a challenging mountain to climb or a testing route to hike or cycle, then you may well find me taking it on.
Please subscribe and comment if you like my videos as I would love to know what you think and how they could be further improved in the future.

Leaving The Crowds Behind- A Brilliant Wild Camp At Great Moss
Having not wild camped for many months, I was both excited and nervous about heading out again on my own for a night under canvas. I needn't have worried. Eskdale was my location of choice and the views blew me away from the start.
I continued to follow the tumbling Esk River until I reached The Great Moss- a wild and remote plateau surrounded by high mountains. What a location it is! I pitched up by the river and didn't see another person the entire time even on a Saturday evening in August. The best sleep in months was enjoyed and it was just a wonderful experience. Well worth the uphill slog.

Lake Swimming & Road Cycling In The Lake District
Переглядів 121Місяць тому
While in The Lakes, I decided to get some good triathlon training in. I started with a wetsuit swim in Crummock Water, which offered clear water and great conditions for a dip. After a much needed feed, it was then onto the road bike to complete a brilliant circular route, which saw me doing battle with the savage gradients on Honister Pass.
Winter Camping And Hiking In Glencoe

After battling knee deep snow in The Cairngorms, myself and my mate Jack headed across to Glencoe to see in the new year. We would base ourselves on an amazing campsite, which even had its own food van. A haggis burger goes down very well indeed on a long cold December night! New Years Day saw us taking on an amazing hike around Glen Etive. The views were incredible. Snowy mountains, deer and i...

What a trip this was! Myself and my mate Jack were in need of some snow and adventure just after Christmas and so a trip was planned that would take us deep into the heart of The Cairngorms.

A Stunning Circular Hike To Mosedale Cottage Bothy
Переглядів 2867 місяців тому
What a varied and amazing hike this was. Parking by Haweswater, I started by following The Old Corpse Road. As the name suggests, this was a route that used to be used to transport the dead across the hills so that they could be buried in hallowed ground. From here I continued to wild and remote moorland, where Mosedale Cottage was finally reached and explored. Finally, I entered a more rugged ...

In late October I enjoyed Warnscale Head Bothy near Buttermere all to myself and had a great night by the fire enjoying lots of food, drink, solitude and incredible views too before it got dark. What a setting this bothy has! Things got interesting though, as the resident mouse made itself known and proved to be the most brazen little fella I've come across. It even ended up with me sleeping in...

What an amazing day out this was! After spending the night at Lingy Hut Bothy and eating a breakfast fit for champions, I started a walk that was to last the entire day. My first destination was Skiddaw House, which is the highest and one the most remote youth hostels in England. After this it was time for the main course- Blencathra.

I would start my week long adventure up in the Lake District by staying at Lingy Hut Bothy. Located in the quieter northern fells of the national park, I enjoyed a brilliant hike up to the bothy along a stunning valley and up past tumbling waterfalls and an abandoned mine. By the time I reached Lingy Hut, the clouds had well and truly swallowed myself and the building whole. There was no view a...

This one didn't go according to plan, but it was still a great trip. I had planned to camp in a famous sheepfold just below The Calf. Arriving late meant these plans changed and I ended up in a completely different sheepfold in a different valley. It didn't matter though as the hiking and wild camping I enjoyed was still great. The trip was finished with a descent of Cautley Spout- England's hi...

The Howgill Fells are a little-known but beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales. On this trip I explore the western side of the fells, entering a remote valley and discovering Black Force waterfall. What a sight it was! After this, a steep pathless climb was undertaken, which took me to the summit of Fell Head. Weather conditions were perfect and a great wild camp was very much enjoyed.

Great vlog Dan, just found your channel and subscribed. Great moss looks a cracking place to spend the night and it's on my list to do. How long is the walk from the car please, thank you.
Hi Dan Fabulous video great ventures really deep snow Lovely clip for Asda‘s to use Jack walking across the bridge
Thanks Jen. I visited Jack the other day and we ended up talking about this epic trip again. It was so damn hard at the time, but an unforgettable experience.
Thanks for this I’m actually in the market for one and this has been really useful
Love that area 🤘
Yes massively underrated.
Good to see you out there again
Cheers Jack. Yes good to be back camping out. What a spot it was!
am 6ft5, so...... tent out side then!
superb
Superb video as always Dan, and looks like a great trip. Hazy Jane & a curry definitely hit the spot!! Good to have you back mate
Thanks Marcus. Glad you enjoyed it and already planning the next trip. Cheers and have a good weekend.
Hello Dan. Good video mate. Nice to see you back out with a tent. Beautiful area nice views, don't blame you sitting out the tent for a read. Glad you had a good sleep. Looking forward to the next one👍
Cheers Jamie. Planning the next trip already. I have missed it.
@danexitsstreetview3273 Really good to see you out again. Your videos are very good mate🫡👍
@@JamieHarding5 Thanks Jamie. They don't get many views compared to some, but glad they're still appreciated by others who enjoy getting out in the wild.
The building in the sea may ha e been a WW2 pill box aswell
Triathlon for the win 👌
Oooh yeah!
It is legal in Scotland, also have the right to roam anywhere.
Great to see you Dan….I did wonder where you’d gone. Fair play my friend, I doff my cap to your triathlon exploits! What a place to do some training, lovely part of the world. Looking forward to seeing more. All the best, Marcus ps hope to see some camping as well at some point
Cheers Marcus. Good to be back and just uploaded a camping video too. Was a blast!
Did you call the mouse terry ??????
Beautiful place, although "mountains" seems a bit exaggerated.
Braw video mate, from a Scotsman yet to visit this island (heading next week) I suggest you check out the Outer Hebridean islands
Brace yourself for midges and six foot bracken if you are hiking. Still cracking though. Want to get out to Lewis and Harris but again think August could be plagued with midges. Ruined a fair bit of the trip last summer if I am honest. Proper nasty when camping.
Good morning Dan. Nice to see you back out again. Well done on your swim too. Beautiful weather and views. You put in a shift then💪👏👏
My hat off to you Dan..know that area well..go a couple of times a year to Borrowdale. .yes that drop into keswick off the A66 is a warming sight...that climb to the slate mine is hard enough in a car let alone a bike !. Keep up the videos mate..a joy to watch .
Cheers Dave. Back up there on Wednesday. Doing some big road climbs in The Pennines before heading over t' Lakes once more.
Good video, nice to see you back on the UA-cams. I like the change in direction!
Thanks Jack. Going to post occasional stuff on here, but setting up a new channel too, which hopes to track my triathlon journey.
Great video
Having grown up on the Isle of Lewis I can relate to the midge problem..people don’t realise just how life changing they are ….you literally can’t go outside without repellent, nets, etc
Wanted to go back to the islands during August, but just worried that the damn midges will ruin it. Coll and Tiree were on the cards. Have you visited?
@@danexitsstreetview3273 no, I’ve lived in Lewis for the first 20 years of my life and have travelled through Skye, Mull, Iona,Staffa, Benbeculla, Arran and Shetland but I do want to see Mull,Tiree and Muck. But damn those midges
Can anyone recommend a non gortex boot
I can't I am afraid as only had these. Still going strong though and not sure why you wouldn't want gore tex if hiking in the UK or anywhere fairly wet. Best of luck in your search though.
@@danexitsstreetview3273 thanks for your reply, I suffer with hot feet and gortex is to hot and sweaty, I prefer the cambered lining or non at all and use mink oil on the leather. Cheers Ant.
I want to go here,but I'm told it rains all the time
Well it doesn't as you can see. Stunning and well worth the visit.
Beautiful video Dan. Some beaches in the UK are stunning just like abroad. Tough summer. Hope you are okay mate. It's been ages since your last video. Please give me a thumbs or get lost so I know you are okay. I walk often because I know the benefits and it helps me so much. Hope to see more from you soon mate👋
the gold bit on the end of the guide lines is a tensioning bit chap
I will stick to the good old Vango Banshee 200. Ive had that for a decade now , quick to put up and just right for one person. I tried other types of tents, but for the price it is such a strong reliable tent. Big plus for me is that you can open it either side. Don't like the enclosed feeling of a tunnel tent. But if it works for you great.
It's Jerry - not Terry! As in Tom and Jerry.
Up that way in August..great video Dan
Great video. Very informative.
Gorgeous little film.
Well deserved for one of my favourite mountains. So wild.
I was at this beach only a couple of weeks ago - I find the salty sea air perfect to help me breathe on the days when my Hay Fever is off the scale. It's rather frightening how much this stretch has changed in the last two years, but erosion is a constant battle (which some places along the East Anglian coast are sadly losing). It's worth noting that East Anglia has the lowest rainfall in the UK so the signs against camps, fires etc are for your own protection as the coastal fauna of bracken can easily become tinder dry and if there's an easterly wind off the North Sea - fire would sweep inland for some miles very quickly. You mention you are a Geography teacher, an one of the wildest things I can never get my head around is that this stretch of coastland was once linked to mainland Europe.
Thanks for watching. Good point about the fire risk too. Makes sense.
That mountain (Leum Uilleim) is not a Munro being just under 3000 feet. It is a Corbett
I have been researching this particular valley for about 5 days now and as soon as I saw it on something (not sure what) I thought I need to visit this place. I have been up Plumlumon Fawr but never done any wild camping & walking in the area.. this is high on my list. To actually find a video of the very spot I was looking for (at the time I had no idea where it was) I am more eager to get there.. thanks for videoing your adventure.. Great watch. atb Alan
You'll love it there. Such a wild, remote and beautiful spot. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Show. Parabéns pelo vídeo
We camped on the next beach around. The walk in from the end of the road was lovely until the path disappeared and we too had to descend the cliffs. Instead of midges we had a delightful tick experience. I am still itching two weeks later. It is a stunning island and we are definitely going back.
Yes the ticks are awful. Good job you dodged the bracken. That was the hardest bit for me and so energy sapping. Glad you had a great trip.
It's a life long dream of mine to go to Jura and see Corryvreckan.Also climb the Paps. Did you not consider the foot ferry from Tayvallich? Have you any idea what weight you were carrying and what food did take?
Didn't know about that ferry until after I returned. As for weight, I don't know but was travelling with fire logs and plenty of food to start. Got lighter though by the end. Hope you have a great trip. Happy to help in any way if I can. Cheers.
You are correct, they are useless in the wet. Why would anyone want goretex uppers with poor grip soles. They have been like this for years. Just google them. Not for for purpose
Great video Dan! Saw that you posted this nearly a year ago and I'm planning to go there tomorrow, fingers crossed!!!
Hi Dan. Great vid👍 You can't beat a real fire. Looks a great bothy. I hope to make it there this year. Hope you are okay mate. No vids for quite some time.👋
The north west Coast of Jura is fabulous, hard walking but worth it. If you ever go again add Corpach Bay, Shian Bay, Ruantallain Bothy and Cruib bothy to your list..
I wanted to do these on this trip, but the bracken just made it impossible. Need to head there when that isn't head height.
Hi Dan. Brilliant start to your vid. Nice camp site. Great fire. Tent by the river looked awesome. Freezing cold water you crossed 👏👏👍 Liked the titanic description to the cold water😁👍 Really good watch. Hope you can get out again soon.👋
What a fantastic video Dan, Thank you I really enjoyed it, what an incredible place. As a wild camper its heart-breaking to see that sign, I was looking forward to a sneaky over nighter around the beach/ forest ...shame.
There are good options up at Holkham Beach. I hope to get over that way fairly soon.
It's about time for trespass laws people leaving rubbish and muddy paths 😢
Very nice 10/10 Some great shots of an overlooked island Did look hard going though
I look back and smile at the memories of this trip but that first day was an absolute killer. I think I was on my feet for a good ten hours or so in the end.
Iam a yorkshire lass bronte country haworth good try at the accent not easiest to do I don't like my accent all my sotheren friends love it can't think why lol 😅❤😅
Every accent that isn't my southern one is good. Yorkshire a good one. Geordie must be the best. Thanks for watching.
love camping on sand dunes happy easter debs xx
These hills have Viking names.
Avon skin so soft dry oil spray. midgies wont bite you.. it works.
Very nice vlog thanks.
Beautiful walk but i should imagine it was hard going. Thankyou eversomuch for the maps showing where you are . I am a mapaholic so love following you . Thankyou
Thanks Pauline. Glad you enjoyed it. A stunning part of Wales for sure.
