🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 STRONG Winds on Beinn Narnain Solo Summit Wild Camp 

Big thanks Nick. Know what you mean. Glad you enjoyed it. You’ve just made my day too🙏🏻

@@TheSoloSummiteer Believe me, with a video like that you have lifted me from a very wet and windy Dartmoor to my natural habitat - hills and mountains. Thank YOU. Off to look at more of your videos later... Thanks again. Stay safe in this weather, wherever you may be in the country.

Big thanks David 😎👍. Hope you enjoy 👍

🙏🏻

Thanks Dave. Was great to be back 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Can’t believe it was my first visit this year 😩. Hoping to be back again before the years out 🤞😎

Many thanks, Paul. Was a great little adventure for me. Glad you enjoyed it too 😎👍

Cheers Paul 👍. Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one already 😎

Really appreciate that jd😎👍, and thank you 🙏🏻 - ATB Dave

Thank you, Kim👍. I just have to keep reminding myself of that 😊. It can all look quite tranquil on the video, but it’s a slog carrying all the camping gear up a mountain. I do enjoy it tho 😎

@@TheSoloSummiteer I was feeling sorry for you everytime I realized you had placed your video recorder walked down and then back up again and then down to retrieve it. That's commitment!!

Kim Dominguez - haha. Know what you mean Kim. A 10 mile walk can easily turn into a 15 mile walk 😜

Cheers, Eddie👍. It’s a great way to experience and celebrate a first Munro. Narnain is a cracking wee mountain 😎. Planning to head back to the area soon as it’s more accessible for me from Lancashire. Keep safe - Dave

Big thanks Dave 🙏🏻

Thank you Alistair 😎👍. Really didn’t think I was going to make that one. All the more satisfying when I did. Glad you enjoyed it too - ATB Dave

Thanks Dave. It was a tough one. Enjoyed it tho 😁

Cheers Daniel👍. It was a wild one for sure 😳💨

Thanks James, appreciate that 👍. It’s a top tent indeed 😎👍

My Atko zippers are the same a right pain until I put fabric tape over them ...works a treat!

Cheers Martin 👍. We’ll keep pushing on, eh 😜😁😎

Really appreciate that Eddie 🙏🏻

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. I do love my Soulo 😎👍

Thank you, Dave👍. It really was 😳. Loved it tho 😎

That’s fantastic Dave. Enjoy Wasdale and stay safe in the mountains 😎👍

Cheers Dave 😎👍. I was buzzing after thinking I might have to retreat and go back to the car. What a turn around, eh - ATB Dave

Nice one, Andy. Many thanks👍. Will be looking out for your videos, can’t wait to see them 😎. Hope the weather is kind to you 🤞. Stay safe - Dave

Thanks Stevie👍. It took a battering but served me well 😎

Thank you Tom👍. I always aim to get on a mountain, if possible. ATB - Dave

Cheers Murray. At the time I think I would have preferred midges 😜. Came good in the end tho 😎. ATB

Thank you Del, really appreciate that 😎👍. I looked the Cairngorms myself but the wind forecasts were crazy 😳. Can’t wait to get back to Scotland again ❤️

Thanks, man 👍. If I’m inspiring others I’m over the moon with that. Stay safe

Big thanks Chris 😎👍. Good luck with your trip. ATB Dave

@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks Dave! 😁👍🏻

It was a wild one that Kenny. Couldn’t believe I made it in the end. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

Thank you Rhys😎👍. Yeah, getting subscribers is tough. I am enjoying making the videos though. Glad you’re enjoying them👍

Nice one Davey, really appreciate that 👍. Can’t beat a Soulo. Go on, you know you want to 😁😎👍

Many thanks, Europa 😎👍. Not sure which is worse. Packing up, or sorting it all out when you get home 😩

Cheers Stuart😎👍. The first time I visited a Cobbler was three years ago in September 2017. I drove up from Lancashire in lovely weather but when I arrived to Arrochar and it was lashing it down and I couldn’t see a thing. Waited a couple of hours but the weather didn’t improve so I decided to head up there in the rain and mist. I made it to the junction with the Ben Ime path and decided to turn back as every flat surface had turned into a pond and there was nowhere to pitch my tent. The path itself was basically a stream. As I reached the junction to the first path you turn off to the Cobbler I decided to head up that way and found a flat rock exactly the same size as my tent. I couldn’t believe it so I pitched up there for the night in the rain. Morning came and conditions were the same, couldn’t see a thing. Made my way up to the summit and then back to the car having never seen the Cobbler at all. Determined to return I went back in the snow last November and pitched right in front of the Cobbler. Absolutely amazing 😎❤️👍

@@TheSoloSummiteer Hi Dave, Thank you for your interesting response to my comment. I certainly did admire your super shot of the tent pitched up with the impressive backdrop of a snowy Cobbler highlighted by a stunning night sky. That is the key up here, If you can just hit the right weather window it can be totally awesome, simply beautiful beyond words at times. With Autumn approaching fast so It will soon be time for gazing up at the wonders of the Milky Way. And as usual my fingers are crossed for a really good frosty cold & snowy winter, maybe some Northern light shows too. PS. Have you seen the recent pics of the latest land slide on the Rest and be Thankful (A83) by Arrocher, result of more rain from the weekend. Both the A83 and the old military road completely wiped out again. Enjoy your next adventure, I will look out for the video. ATB

cheers, Stuart. Yeah the RABT road is always getting blocked, isn’t it. Hopefully I’ll get back up there again this year for another trip to the mountains 🤞😎👍

Nice one SK👍. Many thanks 😊

The Solo Summiteer we got caught in the wind big time on Saturday night there! Tents held up and made for a good video 😂😂

SK Wildcamps - nice one. A good sneaky pitch behind the wall 😎👍

Big thanks kerny. Top tip 👍

Cheers Andy👍. A brew with half a view 😜

Haha. Yeah, watch out for flying dogs 😁. I was thinking exactly the same about the rain cover. At the end of the day it was unintentional and a total accident. Hopefully it will be found by someone who can make use of it.

You’re absolutely right, Anthony. The last thing I want to do is to put others in danger having to come and rescue me if I get it wrong. I was prepared to turn back at any point, and continually assessing if it was safe to carry on. The ascent was tough and I don’t think it really shows it on the video as I needed both hands so couldn’t film it. Thanks for the comments, really appreciated 👍. ATB - Dave

The Solo Summiteer I know what you mean Dave. I recently walked the Cleveland Way but had to call it a day at mile 90 due to an injury. One of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, particularly as it was for charity and being watched by people on here. Experience helps you make the right decisions and your video provided a great example of the thought process of an experienced wild camper. Great stuff 👍

You’re right, experience does help. I think you have to be really careful with injuries especially as you get older. If you just carry on you can sometimes make them permanent. I really don’t consider myself an experienced wild camper. My first one was in December 2016 so not really been at it 4yrs, yet. Always learning 😊

Thanks Chris👍. The weather makes a big difference doesn’t it. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍

😂😆😁. Nice one, CC. Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎

Thanks matey glad you enjoyed it. Was a wild one for sure. Your trip sounds epic. Best of luck with the weather 🤞 and stay safe 😎👍

The Solo Summiteer cheers mate. Fingers crossed 🤞

Lets av a brew 😎👍

Nice one Jim😎👍. I’m ve got Leki an Black Diamond poles. Both very good. My first one were a cheap pair and soon got bent.

Mike Bass - love it 😁😎

Thanks Bernard. My phone is on a phone clamp thing, attached to a gorillapod. Seems to work well for me.

Hi James. Sorry for the late reply I've been in hospital. The boots are Scarpa R Evolution GTX - Dave

@@TheSoloSummiteer hope you’re alright Dave?

@@jamescrashley2263 thanks James, really appreciate that🙏🏻. I’ve posted more info on my Facebook page - facebook.com/The-Solo-Summiteer-489953365108935/

Thank you Leon 😎👍. It was a tough one for sure. Worth the effort though. Glad you enjoyed it - ATB Dave

?

You remind me of a long lost friend from rawtenstall, sir .

Ahh. No worries, Shahin 👍

@@TheSoloSummiteer My little dog has visited all your hikes and enjoys watching it on a big screen.

Lifes a hike don’t think you will need the black label here, never felt even slightly worried in the Soulo and I have had some awful weather.

Haha. Think I’ve spent enough already 😁

Thanks TWN👍. Didn’t look too bad in the video. At least you had a nice sunset and a clear night 😎

Nice one, glad you enjoyed it 👍. Know what you mean but it was more about the journey as I genuinely didn’t think I was gonna get there - ATB
