I pitched pretty close to you there Dave in similar conditions. Although I didn’t capture it as good as you. You’re the master when it comes to composition with that drone. I went straight up the front though. That’s a graft.
I'm watching this at Christmas Eve and what beautiful sunset and imagery of the landscape. I hope you enjoyed your solitude in a magical spot ✨️ I can see why you'd want to enjoy it by yourself.
Awesome, Dave! Couple of suggestions: 1. You need that winter pad, mate. Thermarest - you should do better by this guy. 2. Try the Jupiter trick with your foam pad (sort of), double it over under your core for a bit more R value and put your rucksack under your legs for the other 'half' of the pad. Might be lumpy but probably warmer. Up to you. 🤔 Also, could try getting some of those 'hut boots' for your feet (Rab, Montane etc). Would keep your feet warmer at camp and you can still walk around in them. Thanks for uploading. 🏔👍
Christmas Eve morning. The house is asleep and I am baking, while watching your videos and dreaming of adventures on Great Gable and Pillar. What a treat. Great content - keep it coming!
Thanks a lot for putting the link on Dave, my insulated bags definitely keep freeze dried meals hotter and hot food warms you up inside 🥰 and then you can put your phone and power bank in it overnight.
With the insulated bag; you need something warm inside it to make it effective. I use one of the 10 hour chemical hand warmers inside the insulated bag as it weighs next to nothing. I also pop one into socks (when inside my tent ) to warm my feet. If my boots are wet I put chemical heaters in them overnight - they don’t completely dry out but they are at least warmer to put back on. Happy Christmas to you and yours and to all reading this🎄 🎅.
Yep, and put boots inside the tent overnight. Much warmer... I keep my boot socks in my bag with me and have fresh ones plus my baselayers for overnight 🥰
You should ask Murray about inversions, he’s a bit of an inversion predicting god🤣 Great video, looks bitter cold🥶 Can you imagine working at the slate mine in the early 1800s😮 All the best for Christmas and the new year Dave❤
Merry christmas to you Dave. Many thanks for another year of exceptional entertainment, knowledge, chat and enthusiasm for your love of the outdoors, for bringing to our screens for those of us that can't do it for whatever reason. Thanks for taking us along for the breathtaking ride. Best wishes ❤
Gorgeous mate. You were lucky getting it all to yourself, that morning light was fantastic 👌 Merry Christmas Dave & a very Happy New Year mate Maybe see you out & about eventually! 😂 Take care Dave
Hi Dave. Wow mate, what a camp in an amazing location. Stunning views both at sunset and sunrise. We did a camp between Grey Knotts and Brandreth a few months ago, obviously with similar views. Have a great Christmas and New Year mate. Thanks for sharing your adventures over the year with us All the best 🥶🥾⛰🏕️🎅🏻🎄
"We all want the view but not everyone wants to make the climb" Thanks for making the climb throughout 2024 Dave and bringing us your view. Have a wonderful Christmas Dave and here's to a happy & healthy 2025.
Hi again Dave. Just watched my football team on MOTD2...and a thoroughly disappointing result😢. Then tuned in to your channel for what I knew was going to be excellent. Forgotten about the footy result and all is well...watching your latest adventure. Superb from beginning to end...and the drone footage sublime. Thank you so much for posting all you have done throughout the year. Many great "brews with views". Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & healthy New Year🌲🎅🏞️👍
Cheers Dave for another year of amazing videos and adventures.Never commented before so I do apologise but I do love your videos.Happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year 😊
Really made the most of the views with the drone Dave. Just lovely. Thanks for sharing your trips this year, all the best for Xmas and hope 2025 brings you all you want. Cheers, Roger
Brilliant Dave. Definitely my thinking too. Wouldn’t try camping there spring or summer. Has to be a top 5 view from that lakes surely. Lovely footage. I’ve had my sea to summit mat (same as Murray uses) for close to 3 years and it’s never failed me. I’m 16 stone too so when you get round to a change I’d give them a look. Comfy as hell too. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a happy Hogmanay. Maybe catch you over the festive period, ATVB Robert
Another great watch👍 Spent a lot of time on all the fells in that area when I lived down there so it brought back great memories - drone footage is excellent. Have a great Christmas and look forward to following your 2025 adventures 🎄
Good to see the old Christmas tree making an appearance again Dave😃 Must be an amazing feeling to have a whole mountain to yourself, spectacular setting for a camp. As you said yourself...Wow. Chilled, happy film this Dave despite how cold you were. The drone footage in the morning just topped the lot. All the best for Christmas and New Year. Thanks for bringing us so many unbelievable films over the last year.👍
Morning Dave, really enjoyed this latest video. The views from there are unquestionably right up there as being some of the best in the LD. I remember yomping up the ridge with my work mates past the monument to poor old Fanny Mercer. It was blowing a hooley that day and subsequently we were literally blown off our feet on top of Haystacks after visiting Dubbs. I'll say it again the Allak2 is always worth a thumbs up! All the best for Chrimbo and look forward to your adventures in the New Year.🎅🎄🎊 ATB you Ol'Darwener 😊👊. Michael.
Always enjoy your videos🎉 A stunning wintry evening and morning with Fleetwood Mac, oops no, on Fleetwith Pike. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you and yours and everyone in the comment section. 🎄 🤶 🎅
Another great video Dave, looked blooming cold though, the sleeping mat didn’t help I bet, I’ve got myself one of those Flextail mummy shaped mats which are a bit thicker so looking forward to trying that out soon…merry Christmas to you and here’s to a wonderful 2025 👍👍
Amazing camp ,Dave just brilliant great drone views , been up twice but not yet lucky enough to go camping just yet, thanks for bringing a location many of us may have visited , but viewed in the best light that most of us miss ( having sadly to go home ) you brought joy hope you get your camping mat Thera rest back soon .Thanks for taking me somewhere i cannot get to at the Moment and showing how solitude and perfection go hand in hand , Happy Christmas an here's to a great new year
Thankyou so much Dave , outstanding views , love watching your vids especially this time of year. I am looking fwd to doing some good hikes this holiday season.
This is the first video of yours ive watched. I really enjoyed it and you now have a new subscriber, and i have a lot of videos to watch 🙂. Keep up the good work 👏 Merry Christmas
One of the finest views in the whole Lake District from that summit Dave. One of my faves. ATB best for Christmas and New Year mate. Thanks for all the videos enjoyed watching em. 🤙🏼
The best thing to do with your dehydrated meals while waiting for them to rehydrate is put them inside your jacket. Makes a great hot water bottle and keeps them from cooling down.
that was fantastic, you have to be up there to appreciate it, i like the fact that you dont do a £50 steak, as part of the vid, your real, and thanks for the veiws on top wonderful
Absolutely stunning cinematography on this one! I live my dreams through your adventures and although I love the Lakes and visit as often as I can I am an ancient low level walker! Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year !! Love the Christmas Tree!!
Many thanks David for your videos over 12 months been extremely good viewing anyway have a happy Christmas and a happy new year looking forward to your 2025 videos cheers 🍻 👏
Exceptional drone footage and stills Dave, it really showed the raw beauty of your freezing camp in the lakes. Looking forward to all your videos and adventures in 2025, have a happy Christmas 👍👍👏👏👏.
I loved the drone footage especially around 7 minutes in showing I think the other side of the Honister Pass. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit all these videos.
Wow how amazing the views from fleet with pike are.Loved this video Dave.Thanks so much for all the videos you share with us.We love them all .Happy Christmas to you and all the best for 202
Great video dave, such an awesome place to camp is fleetwith, get enduro batteries for your go pro and it should be ok and not cut out at low temps, that’s what worked with mine mate
Wearing down-filled gear inside the sleeping bag is the problem. The bulk is squashing down the air pockets in both and impairing the heat retention function. I always used to use a -20 mummy bag, and slept like a log in just my undies and v. thin thermal top layer. I suffered some freezing nights wearing my jacket until I realized what the problem was.
Merry Xmas to you and family. Thank you for all your excellent content - helpful for the mental well being for some of us unable to get out very often. Always awesome! Look forward to much more in 2025.
good morning, Dave . that was a nice cold camp. And since your not one to complain about the cold. when you said you've never been so cold, I know it was a rough one. Just be careful doing that, the cold can get you before you realize it. Be safe my friend. Dwayne
Fantastic video Dave and superb views, thanks for 2024 been a fabulous watch and tremendous effort you put in to make these videos been amazing, merry Christmas mate atvb 👍👍
Brew with a view makes a welcome come back👍. It looked freezing. I was out yesterday 22/12 and went from 5 degrees in Ambleside to Baltic round Blisco. Loved that you had to bag Fleetwith with your foot ~ proper bagger move that 🤣. Thanks for sharing throughout the year (and years gone passed) Love the videos and keep me going for years until I made it up to the Lakes in May this year. 🎉 . Merry Christmas. Use the feathers from your Xmas turkey to refill that camping duvet 😂 Have a good Xmas and see you in the New Year. That drone footage and opening music - others can only imitate you. Legend Dave ❤
Good one Dave, yeah you picked the right spot vs the one everyone seems to use as you get better views. It was interesting seeing the temperature Switchbot, I actually got that cooking gauge thing you had in old videos, this looks a lot better, have a good Xmas.
That Drone footage looked spectacular Dave 👌👌👌 I hope you resolve your mat issues quickly, you dont want to be on a crappy nat in these cold conditions . ATV for Christmas and the New Year , have a drink on me pal 👍
Aww thank you for giving me the shout out and my grandad just rang me telling me how happy he was for giving him a shout out x ❤

Beautiful that sky. Thanks for taking us along. Siming to do some drone shots myself next year, so its great to see your meister footage!
Beautiful video to watch on Christmas Eve x Merry Christmas Dave 🤶 🎄 ❤️

Wonderful camp to finish the year mate. Here’s to a great 2025, filled full of many more adventures.
Cold one nice chilled spot too
Beautiful video as always mate, drone footage was simply stunning! 👌🏼 have a great Christmas 🎄 😁
Merry Christmas . As always great video. And a Happy New year.
The best thing to do with your dehydrated meals while waiting for them to rehydrate is put them inside your jacket. Makes a great hot water bottle and keeps them from cooling down.
True... But then they can cool down whilst you eat them. We leave them in the bag whilst eating them. Stops any spills too 😊
that was fantastic, you have to be up there to appreciate it, i like the fact that you dont do a £50 steak, as part of the vid, your real, and thanks for the veiws on top wonderful

Hi Dave. I love the crimbo tree. I remember seeing it last Xmas. What make of down pants have you got?
Awesome pics at end what camera
Enjoyed every minute of that
Put the Z-Lite on top Dave, this will stop the cold leaking into the side of the inflatable pad and cooling you so much. Merry Christmas! 💕
Hi Dave, nice video, hope your back is behaving, looking forward to what you bring us next year, until then, all the best🎉
Thanks!
