 hello and welcome to another video today I'm writing some wrongs the last time I walked along here it was a complete white out couldn't see anything so I'm hoping to bring you some lovely views this time and the last time I was out out I got absolutely mullered by the weather so fingers crossed this is more of an aesthetic one I know that the hardships and the rain and the wind people like tuning in for them because it makes a good thumbnail and it's all whatever but where does it end keeping in a Tesco bag on top of Ben Nevis during a storm the weather's been doing all sorts today so I can only just cross my fingers and hope we get lucky we might get peace wet through we might get beautiful sunsets and starry skies let's find out a bit of a scramble up it's a steep one straight out of the gates it's pretty steep and scrambly this is different in it to last time there's hardly a breath of wind sun keeps poking its head out hopefully it's going to be a calm evening with plenty of stars but we're up high we're in the UK so you could always just cut to me with tent dragging me along top of mountain in a gale you don't know what's going to happen but so far so good this man views for any regular watches you'll know I did like a winter hike up over the over scar fell great gable it was a multi-day quite a beast but as soon as I got to great gable it was just a white out the great gables this big mound over there it was just a white out so all these views were just cloudy so it is nice to be able to bring you it on a lovely clear day I won't mind topping out on great gable without the pea soup so that I can get the views so I think I'm gonna go do that it rusty there is no latch on it but that spring does a job keeps it closed and you've got your views if you like your gates and your locks you can follow latch and locks here it's not a joke there is loads of people that follow latch and locks that don't even follow my accounts or know that I do it and they're just there purely for the love of the latch and locks so I love I love it go and have a look it's funny it's funny but it's not funny it's serious going up there the absolute antithesis of last the last video where I was getting brutalized by the by the elements and now it's ever so calm and I was saying on that last video that life's kicking your ass kick your own ass harder and that worked for me at the time but we're all very different and today I'm feeling like if life's kicking your ass be kind to yourself do things that are good so if you're coming here for advice on the noodle and stuff then I can't it's just all over the place I don't even know my own thoughts at times because one minute I'm like yeah kick your ass kick your own ass into shape next minute be kind to yourself that's life though isn't it the rich tapestry of life if every time you found life hard you just went camped out in rain or went and just did something mad real difficult kicked your ass it could be problematic it's just every now and again when your engine's fully depleted you need to you need to have a bit of a kickstart and that's that some people and me sometimes respond better to just being calm and kind to yourself you've got to figure out what works best for you and today this is what works best for me windy gap yeah it's windy and it's a gap there we have it windy gap it's not too bad is it things have got quite scrambly it's gonna get found out if you're not if you haven't got a base level of fitness you're getting found out up here that's a fact I'm getting found out and look how much there's to go it's huge I'll see it again never be afraid to take a knee busy as always but this is it the summit of great gable wonderful views out to the Irish sea Scarf El Pie beautiful it's busy but it's a Saturday sir it's going to be busy isn't it it's one of the popular ones buzzing to be able to finally top out when I can actually see I'm going to hang out up here for a little bit and then go find somewhere to pitch me 10 stunning mate stun DMC look at this this is what it was and I just came through here and I couldn't see me hand in front of my face for a lot of it oh man why do I get so emo when I'm out and about tying all minute adventures together and that don't know I knew I do know actually following following in footsteps of people that have come before me who I respect and love and realizing that this is my time and it is finite and one day I won't be able to do this for one reason or another I'll eventually have my last time in the mountains this could be it could shit me sell that way back down and game over but I sometimes I just get away I'm aware of it when I'm out here it does wash over me every now and again that like that that I'm lucky to be living in this part of my life where I can enjoy this happy and healthy up in the mountains don't take it for granted and I'm grateful for it and I'm a soppy bollock big soppy bollock yeah right I've got a can of Wainwright to get down with chops and I would like to do it somewhere a beautiful new boots who dis my last trip was the last trip for my lower renegades they'd all they'd come to they've got they've got holes in front they'd come apart on the front seams I'd had them years the the grip had all gone at bottom of them sir oid them in bin and I've had me high on a pair of these for a long time and I thought you know what I'll get some because the last me years and I got some altbergs being on an adventure with Fern in the peak district for a week or so and add them out there there's a full video of that actually it's patreon only because it's a bit all of it place so really not for the main channel but if you're one of the patrons you can check that out over there or if you want to support over on patreon there's the peak district hiking and foraging video with me and fern over there but I tested out my new boots and they've not given me blisters at all yet normally these sort of rugged numbers take some wearing in but straight off the back they're nice no blisters no hot spots added bonus for being a Yorkshire boot what's your name wave to yourself in the future there it is all right mate take it easy thanks for stopping mate saying hello right back on it windy gap got about an hour's worth a daylight left we should give me enough time to get up another year and then find somewhere on this side where I can pitch the wig one it's not a multi-day hike we can burn ourselves out rudimentary shelter if it really kicked off you could just hunker in there into it Bonnie peaceful over this side this way we're going to pitch up down here somewhere I think in this somewhere amongst all this this is where we've come stunning evening it's good to feel a bit gassed out a bit of a bead on good to get some mountain miles on the boots and I'm ready ready for a slurp and somewhere to eat and to get the wig one set up I think this is going to be my spot it's a bit all of its shop there are a few rocks but I'm sure I'll be able to snake me way around them and just find a decent beat and look at the views isn't that special spot on me it might be can time actually can time can I get in here is it wet it's all wet isn't it never mind get in very apt as we look over bottom here and hair stacks out into the Irish sea as the sun goes down oh my god I felt a bit of rain quick it's a golden beer I'm gonna share it with you oh my goodness gracious me I know it's a good pint because I've had lots of it on it's very good it what's it like in a can I never had it out of a can that's good absent friends and cheers to everyone for watching I just wanted to say thanks for the support from everyone like I know I'm shy at uploading I don't do it regularly

try and eat in front of a load of strangers I'm gonna turn you off and then order your book in bed that's me for the evening fingers crossed let's have a look it was it started raining it was pretty shit I'll keep my eyes out anyway and if some stars come out I'll try and film a few for now I'm just going to enjoy my tea bye it was a blustery one last night like the moon El Muneo look over there mint and the sun should be poking its head up over there soon so it's about six o'clock or something like that I'm gonna get squared away and then make my way to the other side of that and see if we can get sunset so let's go the laser compact as performed brilliantly there's a lot of guy out points that's what gives it its stability wind picked up got a bit blustery last night but felt very safe it holds its shape very well it's wonderful stuff el moon still look popping its head over see that moon there's going to be a sunrise over there so we'll get this squared away and get over ill and see if we can catch it so I've tied one of my guidelines to my backpack while I'm packing it works it's quite blustery and if it goes it'll be an expensive bit of litter so I've tied a bit to my backpack and that way it won't go anywhere top tip leaving her trace as always wonderful little pitch that just woke up a couple of times with the wind being a bit savage I didn't have any earplugs so that woke me up a couple of times I was just like assessing the situation whether it was you know whether the tent was safe and stuff but it held really well and I just drifted back off knowing that it was nice and secure didn't set my alarm I get up early anyway and I'm off to the other side to hopefully bring you a and me a sunrise I needed this man here feeling good I've said it before but the best thing about camping and sleeping outside and stuff is waking up outside it's the mornings they're absolutely splendid let's get down here out of wind is that a good bit yeah that's a good bit yeah out the wind a bit oh so I'm gonna get a coffee on and watch the beginning of the day beauty tales of harrogate harrogate no less I've snapped me on out there it is and I've got my aero press for those of you that don't know what this is I've never seen one before I've done a full video on it I'll leave that there I do realize that a lot of the time I point there and say I'll leave that there and then in editing I forget to put it there so if there's nothing there sorry if there is I've been on it and I've got sorted it out the aero press it makes a wonderful brew it's windy but this is why they call it the the soto windmaster it's a bit on full full pink full beans right so you have to do this little black thing perforated black thing with oils in it and then I've got some of these
