Hey all,

First of all a big thank you for tuning in and watching my video's. Born and bred in the North West of England from a little woollyback town called Widnes, the now Woollybackerwalker has a passion for outdoor adventures.

If Its anything from wild camping that floats your boat, wild swimming, Wainwrights, or even feeling the pain and pleasure of watching me graft around the beautiful and stunning landscape of the UK. Keep watching, 'Like' and subscribe please and hopefully I'll inspire you to get out there yourself and enjoy what the UK has to offer.

I always appreciate a comment if you enjoyed the video, or check out my Instagram page The Woollybackwalker.

Stay safe in the great outdoors and Leave No Trace.

Nice video and looks like you had great weather and an epic sunset and sunrise - love the mountain layers in the drone footage. I think it's called Cofa Pike, the peak between St Sunday's Cragg and Fairfield. Looks like you had a good pitch, I might have to try it out. Keep up the good work 👍

Camping there in 3 weeks. I’ve got the Abisko lite 2, do you reckon enough places to pitch a 2 person tent? Looked like it.

Yes, there was quite a lot of grassy parts on top, just depends what view you like. I like to be near an edge also. It’s quite rocky underneath though

@TheWoollybackwalker
@TheWoollybackwalker 2 месяца назад
I don’t need a step or a horse thanks. Just pee’s me off when people have tents up in the middle of the day, leave litter and have bbq’s in the countryside. If they want this then go on a campsite. Sets a bad example and encourages the people who give true wild campers a bad name. Thanks for watching though👍

@TheWoollybackwalker
@TheWoollybackwalker 2 месяца назад
Hey, I don’t ask any permission but I try not to attract attention. Stick to wild camping rules respect the countryside. Google wild camping rules in England if that’s where you’re camping and enjoy it if you go. Thanks for watching👍

Don't know if anybody here has the Abisko 1 lite. It looks like it has been designed for 55cm (20") width mats. That's on both sides but it's wider in the center. Does anybody know if it would fit a 64cm (25") inflatable mat? definitely not if pushed to one of the sides but probably if positioned in the middle?

I went with a company to do ghyll scrambling with family. I have a theory I’m not sure I can say on here. I had to have around 6 months of physio which meant no outdoors stuff. I’m hoping to try and make up for it this year and get more videos on, but weathers rubbish
