I’m assuming ‘hand railing’ is similar to keeping any object on a specific side for example say you know a mountain, large hill or pine forest is north and you generally want to head west you would keep the mountain, forest etc on your right side. Enjoying the vids just subbed

Very good points you described me perfectly, although I am starting to use map and compass a lot more. As a side note I’m a London Black Taxi Driver so studied a map of London and suburbs for nearly 4 years to pass The Knowledge, totally different to hiking but I do feel I have a very good natural sense of direction.

A damn good stank , you sure had some good weather

Ez bro, watched while soaking in epsom salts while sipping san pellegrino like a classy mamma jamma. Really enjoyed it and can see why you allways speak so highly of Jack, top bloke and a solid mile slayer.. that round sounds flipping insane and hats off to jack for full boar smashing it. feeling very inspired and lookforward to your next episode 🙏

Great watch - epic chatting with you man

Hi Ben, I'm a new comer to you channel and love your adventures - I'm looking forward to seeing more! I've decided that I'm going to follow the Bob Graham Round after watching your videos. One quick silly question... The parking a Honister Pass, was it at the national trust car park or is there free parking there?

The beauty comes after the summit in the valley where there is colour and life. Love it bro! Keep it up!

Looking forward too what's coming! Welcome back bro ☺️

Nice go see ya back Ben, loving the idea of the new direction, Your mindset definitely helped me to get my ML, Looking forward to it👍 All the best Bruce

Me and felicity had the same experience at dulyn bothy, when I went on my own own it was great and secluded. When I took felicity back it was like a crack den when we turned up 😂

great points...on the first issue of boot v trail shoe, alot of you tubers seem to be in one camp or the other , rather than seeing them as diff tools for different jobs. Im predominatly dartmoor, so my choice is is it warm? im i mostly on a trail, do i want wet feet all day, am i scrambling over granite clitter fields and want to protect my feet from phyisical damage? these choices determine the footwear i will use. Same with the "waterproof" jackets , i have a ME saltoro shell and 2 paramo jackets, again, diff tool doing diff jobs, TBH i do prefer Paramo , its way more breathable, but its heavier and can be a lot warmer, its windproofing is actually more useful as a weather barrier imo, something jackets barely talk about in their function. Shells i find more useful as something to carry to put on when the weather gets bad, something to carry on multiday trips, light enough to carry, chuck it on when it rains, take off agian, Paramo is more, leave it on all day type of thing..i could waffle bout this all day, lol but yer..diff tool doing diff jobs

Video cuts short dude

Is that impala on trail is it I've not seen him in a while as he got a new channel

Really good logical points 👍😊

way i explain it to people asking about waterproofs. Does the water/moisture from the outside outweigh the moisture coming from inside? Yes: put a waterproof on. No: don't bother.

Far too many people ask where they are. A good day can turn bad very quickly

super job

Does the needle illuminate in the dark and are they all made in China now

Sir pse contact me

What water filter system do you use to replenish your water.

What have you been smoking fellow?

Well done mate. Keep up the good work bro. Love ya

Thanks, really helpful

Inov8 roclite 275/325 (boots - goretex) are great and now have graphine but are narrower (size 3 or c) than the 225s (size 4 or d) which are great on all surfaces but won't last on tarmac probably. The lugs are smaller on the roclite (4mm/8mm). If you have wide feet or are used to wide (4 or 5 or d/e/e2) toe box shoes (Inov8 260/270, Altra, topo, barefoot even hoka) swapping to a narrow box can cause injury and/or discomfort. Rule - if they are tight they're not right. you can find the width (mm) of different sizes (most are 3) on line and measure across your foot where it creases with weight on it to get the correct size (with socks) oh and Ben mate.....With Gorilla glue/shoe goo even super glue you can look after yer shoe(s) better for the earth and gripping on the turf - nice review

All my compasses are Suunto’s I might reverse azimuth to one of these just because that video was sick. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥾 🏔

Really great vid Ben

Ooo really useful thanks Ben, I need to watch it again before it sets in but I'm definitely feeling more confident about understanding and reading synoptic charts :)

Nice vid bro! fully agree theres no replacement for knowing how to nav with a map and compass, but also how to read the land its self. i used to be s**t hot at map reading but been using apps and my watch for the past two years which is easy but make you lose that confidence of map reading. think i might have to book you for a refresh. happy trails dude

Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful day. Take care and see you again soon

A mountain leader is a must to any newcomer (myself) as far as I'm concerned. Granted, technology and apps have their place and I'm sure I'll use them at some stage, but I wouldn't dream of heading into the mountains without the basic navigation and safety skills, among the other experience that a mountain leader can bring

Great video 👍

Well Ben it would be nice for yourself if you finished the pennine way if you decided to do it again would you start from the beginning ? You look very dejected in some of your videos, the mental preparation is just as important as the physical preparation if not more so nice to see people like yourself out there keeps me on my toes thanks for posting bren new subscriber

It's been a long time, was nice to hear from you again , keep going

Just ordered one. Thanks & subscribed. Cheers

Burn the book. It has encouraged mainly ( but not always ) young people with no hill experience and no idea of etiquette and respect to seek instant adventure. I had first started to use bothies before there was an MBA, and in those times would learn to sit quietly and listen. In later life I was an active MBA member for 10 years, both on and in charge of workparties. Bothy users don't see, not only the work, but the planning that goes into maintenance. When having a check, the first job was always to fill rubble sacks with EVERYTHING that did not belong, including food. What burnt went on the fire. Remember I was giving up my own time and money to do this as a hobby. I drove over 1000 miles a year to look after my own bothy and attend other workparties. To add insult, the book contains a photo of a bothy that was more than 5 years old when published.

Great video! I love this mountain 😍 keep up the great work. I’ve subscribed 😊

Amazing

Nice one Ben, very interesting routes Im up there on the 22nd for a week next to Carrock

hey good on you Ben for getting out in the face of apathy. We all battle that one. But what a day. Bet you got back from the couple of days buzzing. Mark

Wow, that was hard core. Fair play to both of you.. you for all the planning and some great leadership, and your man for smashing it out. How easy it would have been for him to give up when you were giving him the option. This is definitely on my list. 🏔👊

Fantastic adventure and challenge Ben. A full view all the way. It's raining and this has made for some good viewing at home. Mark totally wrapped that one up as you did. Both of you worked well together. Him smiling and trotting down to the car park said it all. Some good calls there. Mark

Really well put matey 👍👍

Decent load out Ben. I was digging the food - the trail mix interested me. You said syrup in there. Do you mean you actually poor syrup in the mix? Super sticky! Well, not the lightest but your gonna have a great time. Onto part 2. Mark

Brilliant, great video.

Good vid Ben, look forward to seeing how the week of work goes! 🏔👊

Honest review in terms of mileage and wear-ability. Cheers pal.

That looked quite a brutal start to the Pennine Way. The Peak District is in my neck of the woods so know how challenging Kinder and Bleaklow can be even in good weather. I’m going to check out all of the other Pennine Way vids on your channel as I’m hoping to walk it myself in September. Not as hardcore as you though as I don’t think I’ll camp. Maybe in the future if I succeed on my first attempt 👍

What a complete joke. No hill in England is more than 5 minutes away from a road or pub , thats why Scotland is infested with wannabe English mountaineers.

Great job brother! Way to push yourself, very inspiring 🥵💯💯💯
