Great film guys. Absolutely gorgeous dawn shots. And you were right about doing the rest in dark. From Ill crag to SP is very rough. ( See my film I camped on Ill crag left of where path goes, and also decided to go up in the morning 👍)...... Keep it up. Stay safe

[@FindingTrails]

Thanks for watching!! :) yea definitely the right call - it can get a bit sketchy even during the day if not careful!

[@VagabondTurtle]

looks like a crazy weather on this hike! But you need always something exciting for the wild camping :)

[@FindingTrails]

Exactly!! Always makes you feel like you’ve achieved that little bit more! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@StuartThow]

Looked like a great camp, footage was amazing 👍👍 ... what camera do you use?

[@FindingTrails]

Thanks for watching! :) We use a Sony A7iii.

Scafell pike is an amazing place, we hiked it for charity back in April, it was minus eight degrees at the summit

[@FindingTrails]

Aw amazing good effort! Thanks for watching :)

[@focus4u]

Hi there. I was wandering if you needed permission from the national trust to wild camp on Scarfell Pike?. Looking at going there very soon. Your channel is amazing to watch.

[@richardjohnson783]

Exactly what I was going to ask did you need permission?

[@FindingTrails]

Hello! I would sense check this against latest guidance but at the time our research said we could camp above the highest fell wall on hills anywhere in the lakes. Do check this before going out though as we haven’t camped there since this video!

[@thoughtfulsd]

why are there absolutely no trees on this beautiful mountain? Mountains at this altitude normally have a lot of trees.

[@FindingTrails]

Good question! We’re probably not qualified to answer without some more research that but I’d imagine the terrain is too rocky in parts!

[@Useaname]

A lightweight windshield made from flattened baking trays with skewers to anchor it into the ground will solve a lot of cooking issues

[@FindingTrails]

Thanks for the tip! We’ll have to give it a go!
