Scafell solo mountain camp in my Hilleberg Soulo.
My ascent route was via Lords Rake and the West Wall Traverse. The morning after I returned to Wasdale via Foxes Tarn Gully and Mickledore.
I attended this fundraising event for the Duddon & Furness Mountain Rescue Team. If you like to support the team please check out the link below -

What a route that was Dave. You said it was tough and it looked it...just relentless. Brilliantly filmed..capturing the harshness and beauty of the place. You have that ability that from the start of your hikes and camps, you make the viewer feel like they are there with you every step of the way..captivating stuff. I've watched your film of Lords Rake from a few years ago a few times, this was every bit as good. All for a great cause as well👍 This was such a good watch. And that sausage roll looked immense..deffo not from Greggs that one😀 Take it easy mate👍

Hi Dave. Absolutely brilliant mate, superb, it’s just a superb area isn’t it. Pity the weather didn’t play ball when you were up on the summit, but still, the rest of the time it was immense. All the best mate Dave 😀⛰🥾🏕️

Best footage of LR / WWT I’ve seen. Even better than your previous video mate - probably helped with Rob there with you. Definitely best fell in England: Was planning a camp there on Tuesday with the Durston but with how fast the weather can change it may be best playing it safe with the Soulo. Brilliant video again, always inspiring ⛰️

Boss video Dave 👍🏻If there's anyone you want to be up Scafell with it's Rob.. Would have been nice to see some interaction but I know Rob let's the camera speak for him... I follow you both and spent the night on Brandreth with my old dog for the fundraiser.. Was a great night although it's a shame that the clag ruined it and our chances of seeing summit headtorches 😞...It's so good to see youtubers like you get involved!!👍🏻It was for a great cause and we reached the target of £5000 😊

I can only assume Andy means I’m vastly experienced compared to himself. I have a lot of experience of wild camping in the UK, but t’s all relative. As for being very lucky a few times not to come unstuck? I don’t think so. I take safety very seriously and don’t take unnecessary risks. I also encourage others to do the same.

Great one Dave, I’ve walked up foxes tarn onece, going down looks much trickier!! As you were going up Lords Rake, in thinking one day, that large boulder is going to move😮 just goes without saying, even in mid summer, it could still be like winter on the summit’s, but you still see walkers in flip flops and bikini’s! Most of my walking is from Boot, only because it’s accessible by Train, Eskdale my favourite area, last Saturday I walked from Boot to Wasdale head via Miterdale forest and Wastwater, then return via Burnmoor tarn, about 16 miles, then I was ready for a pint, haha! Keep safe on Mountains.

We've been close many time's on opposite peaks and always crossed paths at different times 😂 so it was great to get out and contribute to a great cause The Duddon & Furness M.R 🙏🏻 Ive followed your channel for a long time now for many reasons..... I love your enthusiasm for the county and the lakedistrict peaks, one of the realest channels on RU-vid with no clickbait to gain views or cringey fictional drama to boost subs, just a humble guy with a genuine passion for what you do and knowledgeable and informative on routes and just as I knew through our many chats over the years you're exactly the same off camera, it really was a pleasure to meet you and I know it won't be the last until then take care my friend and keep doing what you love 🙏🏻⛰️⛺️

There's nothing derogatory about referring to the tourist path as the tourist path that's what it's known as whether you're local or not, it's the direct route from the National trust car park, Scafell Pike has over 250,000 visitors a year many of them tourists taking this route wanting to summit England's highest peak as its more well known and popular its also referred to as the pony track. The direct route to Ben Nevis is referred to in the same manner or the mountain track on the direct route There's no reason to take offence 😂

It’s commonly known as the “tourist path” to Scafell Pike, mate. When you can see a line of people on a path from distance, they are said to look like ants. It’s a metaphor.
