Wild Camping UK | The Last of the Yorkshire 'Dales 30' | Darnbrook Fell.


I had planned to wait until spring and some decent weather to finish the ‘Dales 30′ (hills/mountains in the Yorkshire Dales over 2000’) but impatience got the better of me. I camped on nearby Fountains Fell, which was coincidentally, my first ever Dales 30.

  1. Hi Chris. Sorry, I'm well behind on watching everyone's adventures. This looked a pretty bleak and windy one! Enjoyed the memories of trips using crappy old kit 😁 We aren't half spoilt these days! Hope you're keeping well. Catch you soon👍

  2. Hi Chris, What an amazing series of vlogs! – appreciate all the more due to having read Geology a few decades back. Tacking on the flora / fauna just completes the menu. Many regards, Peter

  3. Oh….nice one on the 30 Chris but I didn’t want to mention it in my earlier comment as I recognise your need for low profile acknowledgements…..no WELL DONE ….as well as the personal history behind it with your mates…..Ron

  4. Aye up Chris….another great post lad.
    You can’t beat vernacular colloquialism can you ???!!!
    Like you it’s all about recognition of the local researchers who do the graft to put the info out into the public domain.
    A 17th quote….long live the pamphlet…..today long live the leaflet the self funded booklet and local history resources funded by LAs
    I’m only happy to buy local info or pagefund local historians it’s the only way of making things happen with today’s austerity in regards to local history.
    But the age of the vlogger comes along and thrusts the ethos of the pamphleteers and agitators into another dimension…so not wanting to big you up lad, apart from the enjoyment of your posts, the landscapes, the kit, the hobby , it also has that new protagonist aspect to it a new dimension of what you and my sources of information seek from their and your audience.
    Knowledge, respect , acknowledgement, sharing and a new method as you do of contemporary presentation method dare I say the good old aspect of agitation to protect our historic landscapes.
    Anyways Chris I’ve blathered enough….last few days diving now in Thailand…big stuff tho know big palegics etc in the Andaman Sea off the Sicilians…then back om lad fo sum rate wetha.
    Thanks for the post…take care Chris…Ron

  5. My goodness Chris.That looked a boggy stretch at the start, but well done balancing on that tripod height. Certainly rough weather conditions for your hike. Had a chuckle with gas fitting stand, but I do enjoy sharing your adventures and stories with you. Similar early preparation days as me beforehand too. All the best.

  6. Loved this video! Your trip looked amazing even with that wind 💨 I'm happy you bagged your last Dales 30 and could celebrate with a boiled egg! 🥚 Congrats on that accomplishment!! Also, subscribed 😊

  7. Fantastic vid as always Chris. Well done for completing the 30 ! Ring Ouzel….WOW, haven't seen one for about 5 years (near Deer Hill Res) and the sound of the Curlew is always something to cherish (saw about 50 alongside Lower Gorple recently). Fountains Fell is a very special place for me as the Ulfkil Stride goes over the top of it,before it heads down to Malham Tarn.

  8. Enjoyed that Chris , glad I’m not the only one who takes forever to tick off hills . Great to spot the Ring Ouzel , hoping to catch one up the Bewcastle Fells this year. We have to force ourselves sometimes to get out, so well done . Atb Dave
