Hey folks, just wanted to say hi and give you a bit of an update.
March has been a really busy month for me and I can’t believe I’ve already completed six wild camps so far, covering England, Scotland and Wales. I’ve done 3 wild camps in the Lake District; on Blencathra, and the two night trip in my recent videos. I’ve done two wild camps in the Arrochar region of Scotland, one on a Munro and one near Ben Arthur. I’ve also just got back from a wild camp last night in Snowdonia. Busy busy busy 😁.
I also wanted to say a massive thank you for all your great comments on my recent videos. Unfortunately my last video (Part 2 of the Ennerdale Horseshoe trip) has not been so well received and a got a message from YouTube say that “regular viewers are choosing not to watch this video” and, that views are 30% down. When it comes to channel statistics, YouTube knows absolutely everything.
Just when you think your channel is gaining a bit of momentum, down it goes again. Doing YouTube takes a lot of time and effort and I think only those who have tried it can really appreciate this. When you put all your efforts and passion into something you naturally want have a standard for yourself that you strive to maintain and hopefully improve on, over time. It’s only human to compare yourself with others in the same field and sometimes you just feel like, despite your best efforts, you simply can’t keep up, while everyone else is improving. Anyone who thinks YouTube is “easy” and lucrative is sadly mistaken.
Anyway, I’ve got a few videos to edit but I’m gonna be giving myself a bit of a break for a few days. I’m sure you understand.
In other news my car has been back on the road since the beginning of March. It’s running great again and I’ve already done over 1300 miles in it since the (expensive 😬) repairs to replace my injectors.
I’ve been struggling to keep up with replying to all your great comments so I apologise for that. I certainly read every one of them and appreciate the time and effort you take to respond. It was also great to meet and chat with a few of you guys when I was in Keswick at the beginning of the month. Once again a massive thank you for your continued support. It really does mean a lot.
