Wainwright Fells Wild Camp on Eel Crag, Lake District, Cumbria

A short walk from Braithwaite to Eel Crag, where we wild camped for the night. The weather was lovely, giving us a nice sunset. The following day was bad weather, thick clag until we got down into the valley.

The walk was with Chris (chris25119600), Paul (themuss78), Andy (mixedupmessedup) and Al (Zesty_al)

Great video mate...thanks for taking me along. I noticed that no one in the group used trekking poles...why is that? It would seem that it would help immensely, defo save on the knees.

@BarefootsChild Thanks for the comment. I do normally take my poles as you say they help massively. I left them out to save weight, maybe not next time! :-)

@chris25119600 Cheers Chris, it's down to the positioning of the camrea. Looking forward to the next trip whenever that may be, next time will probably be in the snow!
