 Now then happy new year to one and all. I've recently tested me a tent out in extremely windy conditions but I didn't get any any snow or extreme cold temperatures so that's what I'm out to do today. He's hopefully get some extremely cold temperatures. Side-tracked by how nice that is look, that's a stunning bit of latch and lock. Some of the best the dales has to offer to be fair. Yeah if you're into your latches and locks I'll leave a link below to my latch and locks Instagram page and no it's not a joke. I take it very seriously. Whoa the dales I ain't got no food lads no food but I've actually got some food but you don't want to know what it is. There's some buns. Oh it's boggy. There's loads of buns in here. Let's have a look eh? Anyone in here? Looks like, looks like sheep buns. A lot of loggers there. It stinks in here man. Oh it smells like rotten egg. Get out. Get out. Oh the hills have eyes. Take a few layers off them to keep them on and and build up a sweat because once you stop that sweat gets pretty cold and we've got a bit of snow. It might it might dump it down of a night. The temperatures are certainly getting low enough which would be nice but I'll take this mate. Just makes everything so crisp and alive. I love it. I've got a fair whack. Fair whack. Look how ominous it is over here. A bit dark and foreboding. Bode cipher. That's a bit of grass to do but it's in the clouds which means at times it might I might get a cloud inversion. Who knows. All I know is it's a glorious day. Look at that. You can see the peak of where I'm heading to just poking through through the clouds there. Just showing itself for the first time and it's stunning man. The light. The light is beautiful. It's so peaceful. Speaking of light I don't have much because it's the middle of winter here in the UK so if I'm gonna get up there before nightfall I better get a wriggle on. I'm gonna go up here where it's not so steep and then along this ridge to there the ice pointing along. Let's crack on. The temperatures drop dramatically. I feel it on my skin. Very cloudy and then every now and again it'll break ever so slightly and you get to stay directly at the Sun because it's in this sort of and it's masked by the clouds. There you go. There she is look. Can't see anything off edge. Still not to the summit yet but the temperatures dropped and that wind chill doesn't half cut you. First if you've got a little bit of a bead on you're gonna stay there. I feel like I should say this in Finnish stays defense. I got this jacket when I did the Bennevis from Northermunk and there's been a custom embroidery in there so obviously the water is hitting the embroidery and going straight through there and then soaking my chest so I can't speak on it because it you know that is why it'll be failing me. That's why I get wet all the way. It's good to rep isn't it? It's good to rep Northermunk all day but come on lads. Getting me moob soggy. False summit. Well next one onwards and more upwards. If you can see but pretty steep and it's a long way down so just gonna stay a couple of feet away from the edge. You never know visibility is not very good so best to be safe and sorry or best to be safe and dead. I can't do too many of these walking ones not in winter mate. Not at best of times but in winter. Just energy sapping and it looks good though doesn't it? I hope you appreciate it. I'm right on tops now and it is beautiful. You can't see down there it's pea soup but you can see it's broke up here sir. Oh mate look at it. Can you even look at it? I said you're going here. Oh my god it's beautiful. Come on. I've not had a good sunrise for a while so last time the winds came in so I'm gonna stick this sign see if I can get a sunrise and put all my chips on this one on getting a decent sunrise. Let's have a see there's a fella over there. Get chatting to a fella. There you up mate. There you up mate. Can you even see that rainbow thing? There looks like a rainbow coming off the side of the mountain and I'm not sure does it middle of it. Oh my god. I wish I had a zoom you can see that rainbow with me right in the middle of it. If I just can get you just to say what's your name mate? Andrew Tate. We can knuckles count because it's COVID knuckles. What was the organization that you work for? Friends of the Lake District so we're a landscape charity that campaigns for landscaping Cumbria and the Lake District National Park and also the West Millindales which is which this area is in. Right well if I can find a link to that I shall put it down below so please go check it out. Andrew Tate and we've just seen what was it what was it called? It's called a Brock Inspector it's just these fantastic conditions that you get sometimes in winter with the clouds on one side of the mountain and the sun directly behind you and it casts your shadow onto the mist and around the mist something called the glory forms which is like a circular rainbow it's like a refraction on the water droplets. Sometimes you can go for years and years as a hill walker out you can go for years without seeing them but in these sort of winter conditions when you're just on the edge of the weather between where the cloud is where it's clear this is where you can catch them. So we're lucky to get that then. We are yeah. Cheers for that mate, thank you. Nice one Von Brock Inspector. So I've learned something there I was taking photos of the now and now I know it's called a Brock Inspector that was taking photos of that because I thought it was something that I've not seen before or not paid particular mind to. Then we had a nice little chat and then I asked him if you wouldn't mind just telling you a lot what it was because someone who knows something it makes a change on this channel. Well look and so alright Andrew mate yeah I give you channel name so you'll be checking this out. Check the back catalogue Andrew don't forget to like share and subscribe mate.
