    Seen them in plankey mill,and a kid from Sunderland was bitten there when he caught one.

    They give me the creeps mate, I’ve not myself heard of anyone been bitten by one but I reckon there’ll be a lot more than we think or here about..

    Seen a video of a very large female adder scaling a dry stone wall in the Lake District, must’ve been a good 4ft long and plenty girth too - I’d be heading in the opposite direction if I’d have been there.

    Cheers buddy, weather is amazing up here, couldn’t have asked for better… Done Snowdon a few years ago and in all honesty it beats Ben Nevis in my opinion…

    What do the red and orange dots next to some bird names mean? These icons tell you if a species is rare (red dot) or uncommon (orange semi-circle) for the bird to be seen at the location and on the date that you selected. The same species that is common in summer might be rare in winter.

    Nice one ?

    Quality @Bush Rummager, great to see you out and about wild camping, it’s not everyone’s cuppa tea so hope it’s lived up to expectations for you and your mate… I’m laughing with regards to pack weight as we’ve all been there, it’s not too bad from the house to the car or a flat couple miles but when the inclines start you sharp know you’re carrying some weight - like anything though, the more regular you get out on the hills/mountains and with the weight it does get easier… 

    Looks and sounds like you’ve put a canny hike and effort into your first camp so fair play, most people only venture 1/2 hour or so away from the car to be on the safe side incase they need to bail…

    Walking into clag ain’t no fun as little to no views to appreciate for your work and can be murder for causing condensation in the tent, also makes sitting out quite miserable as always feels damp but just part and parcel of it all and then like you’ve done, you can wake up to blue skies and stunning views of the weather gods are on your side…

    Cracking photos and marvellous effort, got me itching to get out myself this week… 

    Look forward to seeing the next ?

    Brilliant thread lads keep the pics coming keep saying I am going to give the  wild camping a go. What recommendations do you lads have on decent backpacks and rucksacks been looking at them earth summit backpacks as they are waterproof.


    Put a rubble sack or bin liner inside any rucksack or backpack, fill it with all your gear, twist the top and fold it over inside and you have a waterproof pack - works a treat…

    Personally I’m a huge fan of Osprey packs, comfort is key - can be had cheap on eBay/FB marketplace or outdoors shops can hood some bargains…
