They can't all be beautiful hikes in warm sunny weather. Join me on this challenging camp in the English Lake District. This ended up being some of the toughest weather I have had to contend with while hiking and camping in quite some time. The rains and winds were relentless but adjustments were made as the hike went on to find a safe place to hunker down in the tent for the night. If I had known the conditions were going to be this rough I probably would have postponed my trip. The last thing I want to do is glorify camping in potentially dangerous weather. Sometimes it’s best to just remember that these beautiful landscapes are not going anywhere and they will still be here if you just wait and camp on a different day. This is a lesson I still need to learn. I am definitely guilty of being a bit impatient when waiting for a dry day, as they don't always align with when I have the opportunity to camp. But if you do choose to camp in these conditions, bringing the right equipment is essential and being flexible with your plans is very important. Hope you enjoy the video.
