Camping on an ISLAND in a THUNDERSTORM ⚠️

we're on an island in the craziest thunderstorm I have ever witnessed yes people welcome back to another video so I'm in the Lake District while camping on an island I've got some banging food to scan and although the weather's been really decent all day we've got thunderstorms due within the hour wish me luck it's going to be a good one feeling yeah that sounds angry right we're going to have to retreat to the tent for a little bit cuz he is coming down heavy now and as you can see there's puddles everywhere oh man what have we done yes yes morning everybody it is 5:44 in the a.m. and I'm off to pick up the boys cuz we're off camping got a start of the day well sausage and bacon sandwich pan of chocola and a caramel latte I got it one piece at the time I don't care what [Music] you only I'd come to Lake District try to find somewhere to park budy toy France going on we've managed to bag a free little parking spot and this little layby at the side of the road which is pretty ideal cuz it's looking really busy so the car par that we initially planned to park up at he's probably going to be full by now it's took us an extra half an hour to get to where we're supposed to be because of bloody tardy France going on so we've just scoped out a little path down to side at Water we're actually at Durant water problem is we have got a lot of stuff to carry cuz we were banking on having a parking spot right next to water but like I say this spot is too good to pass up on [Applause] Safety First [Applause] boys this is what we came here to see these lovely Mountain views the scenic water you can smell your food down there we didn't managed to get it all down in one run so we had to come back up luckily it's not too far away from where we've parked we got a lot of stuff to get in these boats feel like Darth Mall with this let's have a look at [Music] her I'm going to die oh where where's your short you get in and I'll just push you I'll give you a push away is all right that thing you me to come hold it as Welling stink push you off yeah you ready checking cargo right go yeah Mom that's one of us off look how much stuff he's got and we're off this is what it's all [Music] about oh [Music] where did we start from so where's St Herbert's Island where that white butt is down there so should we go check this little island out sorry M I'm not even no you're all right on right getting Choy W moving best speed got so [Laughter] far that's [Music] [Music] flush you your boots out I'm not sure well you can see that on the screen but straight forward is ramp's home Island and that's what we're going to check out first but we're actually hoping to camp on an island called St Herbert's Island it's quite a popular while camping spot but with it being a Sunday we're hoping to have the island to itself but we're a monster big boys now there's our Salon Challenger look at the view there with just the layers between the mountains scenes that mate so we just made it on a ramp's home Island we're just going to scope out the area a little bit check out some possible places to pitch later on if we don't end up camping on St Herbert's [Music] [Applause] Island so there's definitely places to pitch on here bit Rocky and I don't know what he's got to say about it yeah we've now swapped vessels I'm now out on my own in the Challenger so we've left the first island we're just going to have a little mooch about probably check out St Herbert's Island soon it is really early on though it's not even dinner time yet so we've got all day just to mess about and then we'll think about looking for somewhere to pitch what the are you two doing I quite like this single one you know just feels a lot lighter I'm not sure about how pumped up it is though I think it could have done with a little bit more in but we pumped up to right PSR right so I don't know W thought that was a speed B then that I could hear but it were a chopper hopefully not Mountain Rescue but how cool do the views look behind me man those mountains even though it's not a clear day there's quite a lot of cloud it still looks good just proper atmospheric this is chilling though a it that's St Herbert's Island there Herbert the Pervert come on over here son was a wonderful [Music] CRA doing Bo chilling yeah yeah boy [Applause] and the only thing I don't like about this one is it looks like there's some birds like nesting and that so I'm not down for that I don't want to be disturbing them so I think it will be looking like St Herbert's Island unless we can find a pitch sort of right on the edge which is ideally what I want to find but just nice to see the mountain views in background as well we've had another rotation with the kayaks and back in Big Boy Ben's out on his own now in Challenger so we made it onto Herbert's Island it's really early on but we're actually going to pitch a tent or two here just to claim this area but we got some quality views mountainous views cat bell end over there so that's one t all pitched up so the tent of choice for this trip is basically a ig2 by free Fu gear that's been rebranded as a night cat tent so it's not a bad tent and it's freestanding so perfect from this Rocky terrain these two are up to pitch up on this little grass area here there should be just enough room for two tents there unless they're going to bunk up in one trying a new Stu to the channel what stes this been no idea6 of A6 of AAR that look at that you got four prongs don't work and you just turn it around and that's it stove complete so you know I like my bow noodles well this is big ball Shin noodle [Applause] all right let's see what these are saying Shin noodle I've just realized it's actually the same company that manufactures the ball noodle so they're probably going to be same can see in there I don't think you can I don't think you care either oh yeah I've got a kick you're all right though man but it's one of them kicks that once you get over the initial kick yeah it's not get any worse get any worse so far anyway so I'd say these are probably spicier than the ball noodles on the initial taste anyway I can definitely confirm that those Shin noodles are a lot hotter than the ball noodles that I usually have nice little Camp spot really is it and what we have noticed is just up from this Camp there's actually a little fire pit here with some big loggers on loger on ready to go so I might get a little fire going there mainly just to get rid of these midges cuz there's been quite a few about and I think it's only going to get worse as the evening rolls in and just like that the storm has arrived let's get everything in tent as quick as we can cuz it's all getting piss wet through so Ben's tent's just tucking in there nicely he's actually on a little grass shelf there and then Sam's over here pitching on Pebbles pissing it down and I'm messing about trying to get camera set [Applause] up all right boom thing got [Applause] over Miss [Applause] May Day so we've not actually seen any lightning yet but we've had the first sounds of thunder in the distance could be pretty interesting this at least we're actually pitched down low and not up a mountain so it should be all right main thing is now is getting everything inside the tent that we don't want to get wet at least the shelters are now up the rain started but it's not coming in heavy yet best time of day this though when it's like this all atmospheric is [Music] that no I definitely caught that one on film on film like it's 1997 you knew what I meant definitely caught that one on footage on GoPro why you got goo right I just missed the light yo yo yo yo f St me down that man a it that's next level that stick that on your YouTube I don't want to turn it off till I get the lightning there's going to be another is [Applause] there we got it whoa W that sounds angry this is sick though I've never actually been out the echoing out mountains I've never been out in a thunder St like this camping [Music] good rain the thunderstorm is officially here the rain is coming in heav the thund is here the Lightning's here it's all happening on this one and what a lovely Daye were as well we had Scenic views beautiful sun were blazing and I really didn't expect this but we have had some really nice weather all week and when it's nice like this the thunderstorms are always far away which is what we're witnessing but yeah I am loving this epic it's really warm as well so humid the midges are out though which is a bit of a killer but hopefully this rain pisses them off a little bit [Applause] waa [Applause] I am so glad I'm not on them mountains today and if it hadn't have been for The Kayaks then we'd have definitely done a mountain camp today as you can see from water it's coming down heavy now tipping it down right we're going to have to retreat to the tents for a little bit cuz he it's coming down heavy now and as you can see there's puddles everywhere oh man what have we done what have we done mate this is actually crazy how heavy this weather has come down out of nowhere [Music] oh need to try to get dry now really luckily I brought a towel so I'm going to have a swim but that ain't happening only thing having a swim is me [Music] [Music] tent w [Music] [Music] [Music] we're on an island in the craziest FN storm I've ever witnessed I've never heard rain like this in my life so I thought I'd bring this Tai G2 out but it's actually leaking from somewhere I'm getting little drips coming down that's not a good sign is it really so I've been checking the weather forecast it looks like we're right in the middle of it right now but it is going to pass so it sounds to me like the storm has passed let's go investigate let's see the damage out here oh we've got a sunset man good picture on this no wrong with it solid [Applause] not sure where my tent's been leaking from but I've not heard about having a seam seal this tent so obviously I've not seam sealed it anywhere but looks like it's getting through stitching or some but that was probably the heaviest downpour I've ever been out in so now that weather's calmed down it's time to get a scran on we got some Lancer oven botom muffins cheese slices some taste the difference beef steak and caramelized onion Burgers iceberg lettuce and some bad boy crucial garlic mayo and a nice little Sunset fuing Monsoon I seen it in Monsoon getting washed away right recording Good Start good start up over there yeah man not ah me hand's burning me hand's burning yeah go yeah yeah not that this one oh my God this oh left a bit right sauce CH is AIT on there just a bit je it do look the best but I know that's going to be absolutely banging let's have a look absolutely demolished that [Music] [Music] right next on the agenda is six lamon mint kebabs wow the head torch is like really bright right we've had a lot of fire because there a fire pit up there we've had a scan it's just started spitting again so we're just going to chill out in tense now for an hour and then probably get some sleep oh morning people well apart from all rocket with those birds I actually had a really comfy sleep to be honest and I can't actually be asked moving this morning but I need to because it is now Quast 7 and we've got to sail the 7 se's this morning and get back to car I didn't go through my sleep system last night so I'll run through it now right quickly so the sleeping bag is the Alp kit pipe dream 4 400 brilliant fre season bag can be pushed to Four Season if you've got the right clothing on if you got like down pants on or whatever pillow is the good old trusty trekology airloft pillow and then the mat that I'm on once again is the flex tail zero mat which is actually pretty good really good ey value super comfy really wide though to be fair wider than the normal mats that I'd buy but I can't complain cuz it makes me have a nice comfy sleep looking a little bit Misty this morning [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] just going to give this a little pump cuz it's looking a bit saggy this morning [Music] so instead of using those big bulky manual pumps that I normally use or I used last time I used the kayak I've got the flex tail Max Bool pump so you can just set the PSI at the top it's a digital pump and then you can just inflate The Kayaks withies really quick as well to be fair so good little bit of Kit I'll put a link in description if you're interested in that it's back heavy is it that but yeah a little bit further oh right big rock there right drop it there and I'll just be Push It Forward Yeah well yeah that safe right there GoPro yeah probably not you strapped it to the thing AR you yeah it's clipped in Imagine chasing down footage cuz GoPro is just sailing off on its own oh sorry wa there this is a fing wobbly man why am I going sideways just drifting that's it we're moving now we I really enjoyed this it's been really chilling definitely going to get out for some more kayak Adventures probably even a Sol one at some point tempted to take it up to Scotland and go explore some of them areas maybe around is of sky is of M All That Jazz but it just opens up another option with places to camp which is what it's all about really I'm going to have to watch some YouTube videos about how to actually paddle a kayak cuz W squeaky cuz yeah I'm just winging it as you can probably see if you've got some tips about what I'm doing wrong put them in the comments please I'm sure you will anyway what I have realized is I've got a wet ass I don't know if we're taking in water or if it's just water from all my shoes is it and obviously splashes front paddles but yeah my seat is more or less underwater now nearly back where we set off from yesterday didn't take long at all that really nice little steady morning paddle it's just getting out that's the OD bit because I don't want to obviously rip this boat and pop it and as you get closer to Edge there's a lot of sharp rocks and what have you I'm out [Applause] that's it all right all packed away we've already done one run to car I think Sam's got the Short Straw cuz he's carrying that big fre seater and it's not the lightest of packages especially with all that extra water we yeah it's been a good camp steady little Camp something different something new to the channel right guys all packed up away in the car so it's time to head home hope you've liked this video smash that thumbs up button drop a comment hit
