Van camping and exploring Hodge Close Quarry

Sub to Jamie:    / @altfocusofficialvlogs   This is part 1 of a multi episode series: Episode 1: 👉 You are here! Episode 2: 👉    • Stuck on a hill in Coniston!   Episode 3: 👉    • Exploring Tarn Hows    Episode 4: 👉    • Diesel Heater Disaster! Cosy Rainy Night V...   Episode 5: 👉 TBC We’re back in Coniston, Lake District for a proper 2-night van camping adventure — and the main mission is exploring the insane slate cliffs and emerald water of Hodge Close Quarry. No drama this time: Jamie’s sorted the van battery + heater, we’ve got a new windscreen cover that fits perfectly, and we even test out a pair of walkie talkies like absolute kids… which actually turns out useful when one of us is exploring and the other’s back at “home base”. Morning comes with drizzle and mist, but honestly it suits the quarry — moody, echoey, and properly epic. We head down the steep path, find the cave opening, spot old rusty track/girders from the quarry days, and I even consider dunking the action cam to show what’s under the water. Then… I squeeze in a drone flight (yes, I know… wind + rain isn’t ideal) just to capture the scale of the place. If you like vanlife UK, wild camping, Lake District adventures, and exploring abandoned/industrial landscapes — you’ll love this one.
