Hello, Henry; I watch your RU-vid channel in Southern Oregon, USA. It's a great part of the country for photography, especially seascapes and woodland photos. I'm now 81 years old so I don't get out to do photography as much as I used to, but still manage to get to the local parks and coastal areas occasionally. Enjoy following you on your hikes. Take care.
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Gary... that must be wonderful. My niece lives in Oregon (I'm a Canadian, living in Michigan) and I'd love to go there for photography some day. I'm 63 and complain all the time of my aches, pains and struggles. You are encouraging! Cheers, bro!
We all have to tumble for the image! I recently had a tumble on Ilkley Moor but saved the camera! Ripped the backside out of my trousers, cut my elbow and got a bollocking from my wife... but got the shot! From ESSEX!
At my age,74, I couldn't dream of hiking all that way, especially uphill! I've been watching you for a few years and enjoy your videos. I was born in Dundee and came to the US when I was 6. I am now living in a little town called Forestville, along the Russian River, Sonoma County, CA. Cheers!
Blimey that was a long one and we had to wait right to the end to see a nice image, well done. Now here is some advice from a eighty year old who has done it all before, read the instructions and try everything out before you go out in the wilds! and don't forget to eat your porridge in the mornings and have your Cumberland sos bun later, I live near the city so I enjoyed your views and it was lovely to watch you enjoying yourself...well done and Thank you! From Birmingham.
Hi Henry I’m a real newbie to your channel only been watching for about a fortnight and I’m already hook your videos are really entertaining and you don’t hide your mistakes which is good and your enthusiasm for the outdoors and photography come through like a shining light, every thought of coming south to Dartmoor, looking forward to the next one👍
Hello Henry from Washington DC! Been following you for awhile and love your Lake District adventures. Based on yourself and few other YT, we’ve visited twice to The Lakes, and have fallen in admiration of Mr. Wainwright travels. You seriously have a slice of heaven there. Look forward to many more photograph trips through your lens!
Watching from Brisbane, Australia. Originally from the Uk, St Helens, miss the Lake District so much, had a recent stay in Keswick this year and managed to get up to Ashness Bridge and a few other spots. Loving your channel, brings a little bit of home into my Aussie life.
Loved this extra long adventure this week young Henry. I love that you are not afraid to look a bit daft i.e. the water filter disaster! Most other folk would edit that out but oh no not our Henry. Good on yer lad. Im a Yorkshire born and bred lass living in beautiful Scotland (Edinburgh). Fabulous area to wild camp and have adventures. Really good to see you perky after a good nights sleep. Thanks Henry
Greetings from Sweden. Just want to say you are a true inspiration and I love your spirit and your videos! Thank you so much for letting us join you on your adventures!🌞💜
I am here in central Virginia, USA so enjoying your videos. Your enthusiasm makes thinking about photographic trips like yours something to look forward to. And your hard learned lesson about testing out your gear strikes a familiar chord. I have had less than fun trips because I forgot to check items before I needed them. Thanks again for sharing your adventures.
Next time you're in that neck of the woods down at hollows campsite / river veer off up to the right and check out dalt quarry ... makes a nice picture or two
Have been watching your channel for over a year now and enjoy your treks through the woodlands and mountains, fells I think you call them. Here in Pensacola FL, USA we lack the elevation you experience in the Lake District. Being close to the Gulf of Mexico we experience an abundance of Seascapes and have to travel North to experience the colors of Fall. But, sea, sand dunes, beautiful sunrises, and sunsets, can make for some very beautiful compositions. Trek on!
Another absolute cracking video Henry. All of your photos on this trip were amazing! Your perseverance really paid off, regardless of the slight mishaps along the way and I'm sure they've given you some great memories. I'm watching from Adelaide, South Australia.
Hi Henry glad you found the cafe open! Looks like it’s been refurbed with new owners and the food looked good. Hope you’ve sorted your filter system out for next wild camp. Oh I’m relatively local and from the relative flatlands of Norfolk
Since you ask, I live in Staffordshire but I am originally from Yorkshire. I've just returned from a week in the Lake District, also trying to capture autumn colours in some 'challenging' conditions! Definitely a week for a weather sealed camera and lenses.
wow perfect viewing Henry, thanks for the effort you make, really loving that your most recent uploads have been something more of "longform" videos 30+ and 40+ minutes, proper value to answer your question I'm from Scotland though I live among the Angles and Saxons these days in the east of London. I'm going to drop this here as I did on a previous video of yours involving that Trangia and non-igniting fuel, bear in mind with these fuels it's more that the vapour burns than the fluid so if the fuel is cold, lighting it can be difficult, yes the fluid WILL burn once temperatures rise or there's a ruddy great conflagration going on. I think you're going to need an insulated container or a warmer spot to carry that fuel in if you want it to light more readily People have the same hassle at Christmas time trying to light brandy on their Plum Duff and then they go nuts put too much on and when they DO get damned stuff to light they incinerate the Chrimbo Pud' or burn the house down It's the vapour that burns more readily than the fluid
Another cracking episode, and only at the end did I realise it's 40-mins long! 😆 On some channels longer videos feel long. With this, and all of yours, I genuinely don't feel a minute watching has been wasted. Probably it's down to how you go about your photography, rather than trying too hard to be ultra slick on the production side, you simply go out and show us where you are, what you're photographing, and a massive dollop of enthusiasm and the occasioanl irritation, e.g. the exploding water filter, all of that us amateurs can relate to. By the way, I'm watching from the Worcestershire/Herefordshire area.
Hi Henry, I live in St Albans and manage to visit the Lake District just once a year for one or two days. I need to get up there a lot more and spend days and days hiking and taking photos - such a beautiful area! So watching your videos (as I have for a few years now) is a real treat - for all the months I can't make it there in person, and might I say it's refreshing to see your bad days as well as your good days. We all experience the days when our equipment doesn't work, when the weather just doesn't 'perform' as expected, and when you reach the location but somehow there aren't any decent compositions to find - so thanks for showing us your experiences, as they happen. Oh yeah - and for your boundless enthusisam - keep up the great work!
I like to follow your adventures and I'm inspired by your photography skills. Here in Switzerland, the landscapes are very different from the lake district, it's difficult to find a view without village, road or just houses 🤷♂Thanks your videos !
Yes, of course, I also like landscapes with buildings, and we have some magnificent landscapes in Switzerland. But sometimes I envy those limitless landscapes that we don't have here.😉@@christophergrove4876
Hi Henry. Christine from Cornwall here. Love your videos, been watching you for a few years, since the D7200 days. Really love the Lake District, get up there when we can. Carry on the vey good work!!!! ❤
Kildare Ireland checking in 😀Plenty of ups and downs in this video (and not just the walking) its great to get out and experience the countryside fairplay for bringing us along !!
Hello from Washington State in the USA. You can't beat the Pacific Northwest for variety, but I toured Britain a number of years ago and would love to go back.
Hi Henry - I come from Dublin and have just spent a week in the northern Lake District around Borrowdale and Keswick. Beautiful place at this time of year. Thanks for your video
Hi Henry , I have followed your channel for a couple of years now, the reason I love your content is because of the enthusiasm you always show for whatever you are doing and the very relaxed way you present them. I live in Grimsby on the east coast and don't get over to the Lakes as often as I would like to so your offerings always please me seeing where you go and how you compose your pictures. Thanks for another great video and long may they continue.
Near Goderich, Ontario, Canada. and yes, you really do need to test your equipment before you leave home. You are so lucky to have such great trails to hike.
I am always so impressed with your extensive knowledge of the fells Henry, along with your everlasting enthusiasm for them, whatever the situation you find yourself in. I was recently living in Ulverston, so know Booths well. Temporarily living in Rossall, but currently in the very autumnal and snowy French Alps. 😊
Hi Henry, I watch your videos with interest and admiration. I am in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and this part of the country is generally on the flatter side with few mountainous region to explore. Together with my kids, we have been talking about going to Scotland around May or June so watching your videos are really raising the interest level. All the best to you and looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers
Hi Henry, I’m over here in Miami but watching your fantastic videos and photos allows me to get my fix of the Lakes where I grew up and where my ancestral roots are. I love how passionate you are about the beauty of that area because that’s how I feel when I look at a Lake District view! On the occasions I get back over, all I want to do is to get out there with my camera (besides seeing the family of course!). Thanks to you for all the photography tips that help me improve my skills to capture my most favourite place in the World! Love the longer videos too!
Hello Henry, I really enjoy watching your videos. I live in East Tennessee, USA. I have always loved photography from a young age and love being in nature, the forest, woodlands, and mountains. I appreciate your truly genuine, wholesome personality and your way of explaining photography . Take care . I look forward to your next video.
In hamilton Ontario, not far from Toronto. I know on a hike weight is important and so is space, have you seen the hero clip? Is a carabiner comes in a couple different sizes. Be great to hang the bag up if you need to or hang a small bag for your garbage so it’s not taking space in the bag and when you get home or to a shop it’s all bagged up on the outside of the pack and off you go.
I have never before been intrigued and excited about watching someone eat a Pot Noodle!😂😂 You have a special talent for making things really interesting to watch, keep it up! By the way, I regularly visit Keswick and always pop into Booths, it is a lovely shop. The orange juice machine is my personal favourite thing. 👍👍
Hello from Dartmoor Henry. Love the enthusiasm in your videos even when things don't pan out. Did you remove the cap from that water filter? Still... you got something way nicer to eat down in the valley. Trangia won't light? Rather than no hot drink or food, try something really stupid like a tiny bit of tissue to the side, or get some stormproof matches.
Thank u for taking us in ur adventure Henry the photos were stunning. U did make me laugh a few times sorry it was at ur expense. I’m on the coast of south east England and love watching. Not been to the Lakes before so love seeing all ur videos. Keep sharing
Hi Henry. Greetings from Norway, near Oslo. I’m watching your videos regularly, and have done so 2-3 years. I like your enthusiastic, positive down to earth approach and honesty. I like in particular your attention to what matters in the end, the pictures. The composition, the light, the weather and location matters more to that effect, than fancy gear and expensive lenses. Informative and inspirational. I struggle with good nature photography, living in a rather urban environment, and can only do this as a hobby with limited time spend. Therefore I do macro, family portraits and whatever other category I can think of to compensate. Keep up the good work Henry.
I love the video. Owing to my disability I have not fell walked for 30 years. You do such a great job reminding me (if I need any reminding) of lovely days photographing on the fells. I still come to the Lakes at least once or twice a year and do my best to take some meaningful photos. I am from Tenterden in Kent and I am coming to Keswick next March for more adventures. Thank you.
I’ve done that exact walk but in reverse Henry I came down through the quarries steep descent that not sure if the knees would hack it now. When did you shoot this exactly I came over from Oz in October and was in Borrowdale and Ennerdale on the 15th and ended up in the Scafell Hotel Riverside Bar for a few bevvies and for us tea! My mate had the mighty Cumberland sausage whilst I had a roast dinner! Great night and morning on the fell lad.
Greetings from Plymouth, U.K. Enjoyed the video. Many thanks for taking the time and effort to produce videos like this. Being disabled I am unable to undertake a walk like that, although I would very much love to do so, but watching your videos, it is as though I am there with you.
Hi Henry. I watch your channel from the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I'm originally from Yorkshire so watching your videos of the Dales and the Lake District brings back fond memories. I enjoy getting up in the Cascade mountains or on the Oregon coast, camping, hiking & photographing landscapes. The weather here is similar to England, though hotter and drier in summer. Am getting homesick for a visit back to England after watching your videos for the last 3 years. BTW- If you want to use liquid fuel, take a serious look at MSR (Mountain Safety Research) international stoves. They burn several types of fuel and are great mountaineering stoves.
Those Platypus filters are a bit of a mixed bag, some work amazing, some work badly. But with all of them you need to presoak them. I soaked my new for for 24 hours and it made it useful at 1 min 10 seconds to filter a litre, but that's nowhere near the claimed 20 seconds per litre. If the filter is dry you'll struggle to get anything through.
Loved that walk when I did it summer last year. Top trangia tip - the water boils quicker if you put the lid on. Thanks for the videos! (Stoke on Trent)
Hi Henry. I've really been enjoying these longer adventure videos. I like to be able to really see the areas you're visiting and feel even in a small way what it'd be like to do those hikes. I'm watching from Maine, USA and hope to get out to do more hiking myself next year. Thanks as always for taking us along. :)
Greetings from Monmouth Henry, but at the time of writing this I’m actually in the lakes staying very near to Derwent water. Off home tomorrow, just a big thanks for the entertainment and enthusiasm in your vids, keep up the great work Henry, it’s much appreciated!
Watching you from Ireland Henry. I love following your adventures and am always inspired by your beautiful images. You have such a great way of communicating with your audience, I almost feel like I'm walking alongside you. Looking forward to the next adventure already.
About the alcohol stove - they are a lot easier to light using a match. It's not the liquid itself that burns - it's the vaporized fuel (if that makes any sense). And maybe use fresh fuel 🙂
I watch your channel from Minneapolis Minnesota, USA. The landscape where you're at is so much different from Minnesota that it's difficult to relate to it sometimes but everything looks so amazing there.
Hello Henry. Greetings from Reading, PA. Thoroughly enjoy watching your journey. Appreciate how real you are, and all the beauty you share with us on the channel. Lovely calendar, by the way!
Henry - greetings from Saline, Michigan! I've been watching every episode for a couple of years for both the educational and entertainment aspects - love your work and look forward every week to the next adventure. I keep saying I need to get to my ancestral home in Scotland but have not made it yet - your videos are the next best thing!
Hi Henry, I watch from Quebec City, Canada. Great shots again. I must say with the title of this post, I was on edge for most of it fearing something bad was going to happen... I'm glad you are alright to shoot another day.
I am quite new to photography and am really enjoying your channel. I am currently enjoying working my way through past editions. This video reminds me of my youth doing lightweight camping in Yorkshire. I now live in Winnipeg, Canada.
Great little adventure Henry . Loved watching you enjoying the Lake District. Keep up the blogging. Keeps me sane when I am unable to get out myself for whatever reason . So can get a fix out of you vicariously. Am from south wales valleys so I enjoy putting some of you tips into practice on the beacons and local area . Regards Jon
Omg cheese XL crisps!❤😍 I miss those so much that my brother bought me a whole box full the other year, so when I was travelling back to Denmark my suitcase was literally just full of bags of cheese XL 😂 they lasted about a week 😂😂😂 you've made me homesick with this video... Chicken and mushroom pot noodle, Cumberland sausage bun, vimto.... Think I'm going to have to book a trip soon 😁
excellent trip around my old stomping group, but never been up High Spy that route. Every time it was from Honister Pass bus stop (lazy, I know) but the ridge walk over Maiden Moor and Catbells is belter. 100% with you on the cafe - hit there on Cumbia Way after a horizontal soaking all the way from Langdale. That was the best sticky toffee pudding ever! Now reside in Bath, and there's a welcome here for you Henry if you every venture this way. Cannot promise a Cumberland sausage barm cake though!
Popping in from Northwestern Wyoming, near Yellowstone Park in a little farm town called Powell. Love your channel and your thirst for adventure! Keep up the good work. 😊
What happened to a Jetboil m8 ? Garry from Warwickshire, this Vlog brought back memories of doing Scafell Pike in May this year. Derwent Water, River Derwent and Keswick, staying in the Glaramara Hotel the night before our ascent. Stunning area and beautiful images. Must be great to wander off for a couple of days on your own and pitch a tent wherever you fancy, you are a lucky guy. Warwickshire has its beauty but the Lakes are something else and I yearn to revisit 😉📷⛰️
Hi Henry. Watched your channel from the beginning and enjoy every video. Even though I’m originally from down the toad to you in Preston I now live on the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Watching your videos make me shiver as I’m fully acclimatised and think 25c is cold 😊😊
Full marks for perseverance. Can highly recommend Waberthaite for Cumberland sausage, although it is some time since I've been there. Anything tastes good after a day in the Lakes
Hi Henry, watching in the South East of England in Canterbury where there is a mountain or fell for miles, so love watching your videos from this beautiful location, your fun and honesty all adds to the enjoyment. Never had a Cumberland sausage so I will have to try and rectify that.
Another great video, watching it from sunny Valencia in Spain. I need to have a nap now as I think I was walking with you lol. So good. Keep them coming.
Henry I love your adventures!!! You have so much energy!!!!!!!! How old are you??????? Doing all of that walking on flat land and hills!!! I'm 69 and I would not be able to keep up with you!!! I'm from Florida, in the USA!!! I love your videos!!! I guess I've been following you for about 3 years now! There are no hills here in Florida. All I have is beachs, woods, and swamps!!! Oh and lots of alligators, and mosquitos!!!!!
Enjoyable vlog as always. Interesting that you did not know what to shoot in the morning. There was potential but no subject. I think that's where planning is required. I live in the Lakes and like you did not really plan as I know the area so well. However, I also ended up like you not having a shot when there were good conditions. What I do now is always have one composition in mind when I go out, and then I can look around for others.
I've gotten a bit behind in my video watching, but this one was worth the wait, since it's the middle of winter here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains right now. Can't wait for spring! Excellent video, as usual!
For grub in that area I'd recommend the pasties from the farm shop in Rosthwaite. For Cumberland sausage you can't beat that from Lindsays, Station Street Cockermouth, IMO 😀 Enjoyed the video, many thanks.
Watching from Hungerford in Berkshire though originally from Scotland. Love your videos, it's almost like we're there with you. Voted previously that I preferred your shorter videos but having watched this, I've changed my mind.
Star of the show definitely goes to that Cumberland sausage. Inna bun! Watching from Hurst Green, near Oldbury UK. It's a bit dreary here but it doesn't take long to drive to nearby Clent Hills for example.
