Naturehike Cloud Peak 2 in Challenging UK Mountain Weather ! Wild Camping in the Lake District

I head to the mountains of the Lake District National Park to test out a new tent; the Naturehike "Cloud Peak 2". Some of my friends have this tent and I've never had the opportunity to try one until recently. I met up with my good friends, Ant, Rick and Leon (links to their channels below) and we had a pre-hike pint (or two) in the infamous Kirkstone Pass Inn.

We scrambled up to the pitch location carrying heavy packs and soon found a nice spot to pitch, affording fantastic views of Windermere and south to Morecambe Bay and the Lancashire coastline.

The weather began to turn and I was glad I had brought along my warm gear - autumn is definitely on its way. The winds picked up and the tent was buffeted by some strong gusts throughout the night and into the next morning, The Cloud Peak 2 performed admirably and I was impressed by the 'liveable' space within the tent - I tweaked a few things including wrapping the guy lines around the poles - and the top hat elastic, and I had a drum tight pitch in no time.

A brilliant evening, with good friends, nice food and drink and more top memories made in our great outdoors.

As always, no trace was left and this should always be the case.

Thank you for watching and see you on the next adventure - Chris

I done my first camp for 3 days on the isle of man for the TT, Bought a Banshee 300, really impressed with it, Used a naturehike lite cot bed with my cheapy sleeping bag, it was comfortable but could do with a base layer and a better sleeping bag, it got cold in the middle of the night, i had to put loads of clothes on to stay warm

Nice video but I know behind the scenes it’s even more fun with the boys! Awesome as always👍👍👍

Definitely a strong 3 season tent. The design is so good for the wind just let down by the hat when the wind diverts the rain up it. For the £ it costs and the things it offers however this more than makes up for it. They just need to release a hatless t door in khaki brown and it'd be a best seller! Another great video with the chaps.

Fab camp out that one...the weather is definitely closing in quicker this year!
I think you definitely have a point wrapping the lines around the pole a couple of turns 👍.Great upload lads.

[brycewilson]

Excellent vid Chris, great company again, tidy editing as per, loved the drone footage as for the CP2 love the pockets in that one very handy and gangs of room. 👍

[benny_mc]

Always make sure the hat's on tight in order to prevent any accidents from occurring 🤣

[cathoutdoors]

[neilmccartney]

[LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Cracking video Chris some great bits of footage from the drone is it winter already the way you were dressed 🤣🤣 atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[cairnscrow]

Nice vid Chris. I sold my CP2 last year but love it that much bought it back this year🤣. I've never heard of it failing anyone yet but maybe someone has. It survived 53mph winds last year and 62mph+ this year in Glen Nevis. For size, quality and resilience I can't fault it.

[AndyWardle]

Great stuff Chris. I’m yet to go up there like. I might get stuck in the pub though 😮😮 great drone footage. I need one. Send.
I think the tent looks good nice and roomy and light inside. Looked inviting but 50-60 mph wind capable?? 🤨 🤨 my staika caused me concern in 65 up blencathra. I think folks need to crank it down a bit 😂 it did look strong though. Nice camp with mates. That’s always a win. It looked like ingleborough the hill. Looking at outdoor active map. I cheated. 😂 😊
Look forward to the next outdoors adventure. Atb

Well in Chris! nice spot just off the summit where you can keep a watchful eye over a pint 😂

Very popular tent that and tbh bang for buck it's right up there.

Stay safe and well mate,

Hi, I'm looking for a winter tent at the moment, having spent the summer in the lanshan 2 Pro, I feel its now time for something a bit stronger. This looks like a really good tent for the winter months, hopi g to eventually buy either a soulo or the abisko lite 2 but just can't afford either yet so this tent looks like a good cheaper option. You or your pal said you reckon it's a good 3 season tent, what do you think let's it down from being a 4 season.
Anyway nice relaxed video, nice to see you out again, take care and look forward to your next adventure
