The Lake District | Brandreth Wild Camp Pt 2 with @Walkingwildcampinguk
Hi Everyone
Welcome back to the channel and welcome back to the second part of mine and @Walkingwildcampinguk 's camp on Brandreth in the Lake District's Western fells.
After a pretty windy night in the tents we woke around 6am to much calmer conditions and a relatively chilly but fine morning. There was plenty of cloud around but this made for some spectacular views.
After a couple of brews, we broke camp, leaving no trace as always we headed off for the second Wainwright of our adventure and the first one of the morning. It's only a short walk from Brandreth to the summit of Grey Knotts.
The descent from Grey Knotts follows the fence line for a while, enough to skirt round the back of Raven Crag on to the flatter ground heading back in to Gillercomb.
We headed back to the top of Sourmilk Gill, but just to mix things up a bit and makes things a little easier on the descent we took the path to the left rather than go on the same path we came up on the previous evening.
If you are interested in doing this route, either as a camp or as a day walk then the route for the first half and this half are below on the links in OS maps

      Hi Mal, thank you for the lovely comment. Haha, yeah when I do a wild camp I have to split my videos in to two parts, it's just the way the Relive app works. This was a cracking spot for a camp, but there is only a very small area for pitches. It's a two tent pitch only they have to be right next to each other. Because it's in an area of old quarry building there is plenty of slate under the grass. All the best mate Dave

      Hi Pete, Hi Shell, This was a cracking adventure. The path up by Sourmilk Gill is very steep with a couple hills of scrambly sections but was great fun with some amazing views. The plan was originally to camp on Great Gable but it was far too windy so we made the decision to just head to Brandreth and camp low behind some rocks for a bit of shelter. In the end it worked out brilliantly because as you say the views down Buttermere and Ennerdale were epic. The brew and tunnocks tea cake went down a treat. Fortunately the wind did drop and I was able to get some decent sleep. All the best guys and thanks as always for supporting my channel. 😃👍⛰🥾🏕️

Hardly saw a sole until the last part along side Haweswater when I had all the Coast to Coastes coming the other way. I can definitely recommend this route although the drop down from Low Kop was hard. According to the OS map there is a traverse path. According to the actual ground there isn’t. 🤣🤣 The view all along High Street to Wether Hill is epic, just amazing. Hopefully next year we can get something arranged and get an outing together. Would be nice. Enjoy your weekend guys, all the best, Dave 😃⛰🥾🏕️

      @@tubbatravels Hi Niall, I loved this walk. Yeah it’s a steep start but once on Whiteside summit it’s an easy walk over to Hopegill Head, and beyond to Grisedale Pike. The views from Grasmoor are amazing down to Crummock Water and left to Buttermere. It’s one is definitely recommend the next time you are up this way. Have a great weekend, and as always thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch. 😀🥾⛰🏕️

      Hi Steven, hope you’re enjoying Ullapool and bagging all those Munro’s. How many is that you are on now? It was a cracking camp, not our first choice because of the wind, but me and Mossy both agreed it was one of the best views of on a camp that we had both had. We couldn’t resist going through the gate, we didn’t want to get bollocked for jumping an imaginary fence! 🤣 When I do eventually get up north of the border I’ll bring the Tunnocks with me don’t you worry about that. 👍 All the best mate, enjoy the rest of your holiday Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We wanted to camp on Great Gable but unfortunately the wind was very strong and given the fact we had both done Green and Great Gable before we decided just to head for Brandreth for our camp and we were pleased with what we had, very pleased. As we’re walking to Brandreth we passed the lads and lasses from Mountain rescue on the way up to an incident between Great Gable and Green Gable (The helicopter landed on Green Gable). I read on the KMRT website that someone had took a nasty fall and had to be stretchered down and then taken away in the chopper! 😢 Fingers crossed they are ok.

I remembered it from last time I was up there. It’s always nice to look at mountains you have been on from another angle. That walk from Glaramara to Allen Crags, you wouldn’t believe the crags and gully’s that are underneath you.
