A Cold Dip and an Update
Hi everyone, sorry I haven't uploaded anything for a while. 6 weeks ago i sprained my ankle and it's taking longer than i anticipated to heal....really frustrating. I love a good hike, a climb, a great view, wild camp and swim. But it's going to be a bit longer before I dare do any serious hiking. So today I drove up Weardale and walked maybe 15 mins to a favourite swim spot. Even just a short distance had me in pain! Anyway, enjoy the scenery and I hope to keep you all entertained better next time. BFN, Dave

What a great hiking loop...Climbing up to the summit of Helvellyn in the lake district, pitching the Wild Country Helm 1 tent, making some food, taking in the vista, spending the night, waking up to clag and descending down into Fischer Ghyll where one waterfall after another tempts me finally in for a cold dip in the Thirlmere Infinity Pool.

Fresh air, rabbits, Kites, curlews and...

Half hour Chill Time Pure Relaxation by a Welsh Coast Beach
Переглядів 634 місяці тому
Many of my viewers tune in to escape the stresses of life and enjoy nature with me. The sights and sounds of the outdoors transport us to another realm and help us switch off. But I'm aware not everyone can take time out often, visit the places I do because of work or family or their physical limitations perhaps. I really think the world is changing and we are heading for a Great Awakening wher...

Tranquility in an English Wood ...Winter
Переглядів 6206 місяців тому
A quiet hike down my local woodland, on a damp drizzly day, making a fire by the burn to cook a late lunch of cheese, onion and mushroom omelette....connecting with nature, listening to the babbling burn, the birds and the breeze bristling through the trees. Perfect for destressing and living in the moment. #hiking #campfire #freedom #mentalhealthawareness #thereisnoclimatecrisis #climatehoax
