Dakes here, join me as I undertake a short hike and overnight wild camp in the UK Lake District somehow filling almost 23mins of footage.
A late start from the village of Stonethwaite ascending alongside Willygrass Gill via Lingy End and onward to the truly beautiful Dock Tarn.
Day 2 was a leisurely paced trek to the nearby Wainwright 'Great Crag' for outstanding views so moreish that I spent over an hour there soaking up them up, completely undisturbed.
Witness a flyby of fighter jets (F35's I think) from over Buttermere way as I tucked into my lunch on day 2!
Clearly I've been away from the hills for far too long, the climb was small but I found it quite testing, blaming pizza and my tent along the way!
