Wild camps, hill-walks, hikes - and maybe, one day, a National Trail or two.
A keen hill-walker all my life I only reconnected with wild camping in 2021. I'm on a learning curve with both skills and modern equipment. (especially filming for youtube!). I'm always open to suggestions as to how I can improve so please dive into the comments with any hints , tips or advice you think might help or with reactions to what you see in my videos.
Hopefully my stumblings might inspire one or two of you to have a go yourselves. Just remember to respect the countryside - and most importantly Leave No Trace.

First Time Camping On Kinder Scout - Such A Stunning Location!
For my first Peak District wildcamp I chose Kinder Scout. The journey up from Gloucestershire was pretty fraught with road closures and delays caused by accident on the motorway but once I got there I was blown away by the place. I went up via Ringing Roger, camped above Grindslow Clough and descended via Grindslow Knoll. with the heather in full bloom and both the evening and morning blessed with sunshine what more could I ask? I'll definitely be back.

What has the Met office got against me? I checked the weather forecast a couple of hours before I left home - in the Brecon Beacons of South Wales winds were predicted at low 20's mph with high 20's / low 30's mph gusts. Expected to be partially cloudy and no rain expected. That's not what happened! Website: www.thornesonline.com facebook: thewanderingforester1 instagram: instagram...

Our biggest walk during our week in the Lake District. Started by climbing Wetherlam from Coppermines Valley, then up the Prison band to Swirl How, onto Great Carrs, Grey Friar and Brim Fell. Then across Goat's Hawse to Dow Crag and back to Coniston along Walna Scar Road. A long day but really enjoyable.

Wild camping on Bowscale after summiting four fells in one day.
Only ever been to the Peak District once about 8 years ago, we stopped for 3 days and had 4 days of none stop rain, so never been back. Great views and the heather looked great and hopefully you get a good couple of sunny days in the lakes for Linda's birthday. I hare driving at the best of time but for me the dive to the lakes in over the Moors but the drive to the Peaks is down the A1M, so another reason I have not been back. You got some amazing evening colours in the skies once you pitched up and shame about Linda's shoulder, it's neck with Mrs Metalman. Oh I have had those comments before, you should not have done this of that, you do not take thing seriously when out (I never take anything seriously) and I am a proud fair weather hiker and camper, I never respond either, just delete, block and laugh! Nice morning to wake up too and if there is a good sunrise, I always like to be up for it. Enjoy the Lakes, cheers Alan
Great to see you up here. Long way for you to come.Looks like a great camp. Ignore the negative comments. I retire in 2 years. When I think of retirement, instantly I think of YOUR camps. Positively you are an influencer. ATB
Not sure about being an "influencer" but if anything I do helps people then I'd be glad about it. I'll be back to the Peak District when I can. Thanks for watching. ATB, Roger
WoW! Absolutely Stunning And Breathtaking! Have An Incredible Weekend! Cheers!🥂🤩❤️✨
@@JUANORQUIO Thank you! Just got back from a birthday trip for Linda, had a great time.
Roger!.. Thank you. I’m sitting in the rain in France, a few days away from returning to the UK. You have made me long for the heather. As it happens, I’m hoping to meet my cousin in the Peak District on the way home. I’ll be sharing this video with him, it’s lovely. Firstly, glad you had such a beautiful experience in glorious weather. Secondly, I hope Linda’s shoulder is on the mend & have a lovely time in the lakes. And finally…. Bloody trollers 😡 why oh why would anyone pick on your videos?!?! I can learn a lot from you, you’re a natural. Keep ‘em coming! All the best 😊 Sue 👍
Thanks Sue, it's lovely comments like that that makes all the effort worthwhile. We're in Keswick for the next couple of days on the Wainwright bagging trail ( not filming though) - been given the Bridal Suite in the hotel! Safe travels, Roger
Looked a good one (not been to the peaks to often myself (definitely makes a change dosnt it)) and it’s kind big the home and cradle of the right to roam too Kinda ! Hope Linda’s shoulder get better soon to get a camp in before winter 🙏🏼 And ignore the troll’s they are just fishing 🎣 for reaction mate Any how enjoyable camp ⛺️ Best regards Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Thanks Simon. I've been meaning to get up the Peak for a while and managed to pick a good night for it. Trolls are a pain, but don't bother with me usually. ATB, Roger
very nice...hope you enjoy your Wainwright bagging break...Shame about the snarky comment...i have had one or two..i just ignore the pratts
Sat in Keswick at the moment! Been up up Great Mell fell, amazing view for a little'un. Cheers Roger
great video .nice views as well
Glad you enjoyed it. A long trek from home, but worth it. ATB, Roger
Wonderful to see all the heather in bloom...beautiful!!! Hope Linda gets feeling well soon...and make sure you treat her to a fantastic Birthday!! Happy Birthday, Linda...cheer up!! What a fantastic day to wake up to!! Beautiful!! A wonderful experience!!
She gets a day out in her favourite part of the country and dinner in her favourite restaurant. Can't do more than that. And yes, the morning on this trip just made my heart sing. ATB, Roger
Great video Roger. Funny about those trolls, by the time one gets to our age we can tell what these clowns are up to in a nano second. The reason we got to our age is because we use common sense. Good on you mate. Atb
Cheers Pete. Yeah, experience does come with age. Many years ago I'd have had a right go at the troll, these days just water off a duck's back 😉. ATB, Roger
Perhaps if people realised how much work is involved in putting out this content for the benefit of others they might think before criticising. I’m 64 and still enjoy these places and will be up there this week but there are people watching these who are not able but still experience what they once had through these videos. Bailing is no reflection on experience or equipment it’s just personal choice either for comfort or safety. Thankyou for showing us your trips!!
It does take a fair bit of time to produce the videos but I enjoy the process so it's not a hardship. It does make the hikes a bit longer though. 😄. Enjoy your trip to the Peaks, and thanks for watching. ATB, Roger
Great video, thank you. Its nice to see you in my neck of the woods, Ill be camping just behind where you did on Tuesday all being well (well 700 feet behind!)
Ahhh it’s lovely to see you up here ☺️ I havnt been up on Kinder for a while now but I’m missing it. Must get up there soon. I wholeheartedly appreciate living so close to the plateau ❤ beautiful camp, ps re the negative comments I’ve had plenty 😅usually some weird person commenting on some nonsense, I just ignore it and carry on 🫶🏼ATB Sarah
Thanks Sarah. I have been itching to get up there for a long while so that camp was a bit special. It's a long way to go from Gloucestershire for an overnight trip but it was so worth it. As the man said "I'll be back!". ATB, Roger
@@thewanderingforester absolutely fantastic. You should see her in winter with cloud inversions in the Edale Valley 🥹😍
Beautiful location, stunning sunrise; you may well have inspired me to pitch up there. Ignore negativity on RUclips, it merely reflects on the person that writes the comment. Looking forward to your next adventure, I hope that your other half recovers quickly. - Hedley
Thanks Hedley. I enjoyed that camp a lot, especially the morning sunrise. Lots to explore up there. ATB, Roger
Good to see your take on KS Roger. I used to go a fair bit but it is nigh on two years since I was last there. Watching this makes me want to put that right. As for Grindsbrook....I've always called it 'G-rinds' rather than 'Grin-ds' but think I'm in a minority.
Cheers Chris. I'd been looking forward to camping up there for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Great to see the heather in bloom. It's a bit of a trek from Gloucestershire though. ATB, Roger
Nice to see you enjoying a new area, and good timing for me as I'll be up that direction for the first time at the end of the month! Despite your outstanding demo of the X-Mid, sold the MSR and ended up going with a Lanshan 2. Cant argue with the price really! Only tested couple nights in a campsite but spacious, shrugged off a day of rain, just needs a few mods. Invested in some poles (I'm a convert!), water filter and quilt too. Ready for the next micro-adventure! Happy birthday to Linda, hope you both have a great time in the Lakes!
I have a Lanshan 1 that I haven't used for ages. They are really good value, I'm sure you won't regret getting one. I prefer the cosiness of a 1P tent but they do tend to lack storage space, hence the X-Mid. Enjoy your trip up there. ATB, Roger
Nice one Roger and an area I know very well. ATB 🍻
@@DaveGoodman1959 Thanks Dave. I don't know the Peak at all well but I'm hoping to put that right. ATB
Brilliant stuff, just stumbled across your channel and having enjoyed many a wild camp on Dartmoor and specially Lints Tor really enjoyed it. Loved the tale of Blunderbus the giant and his cream teas.🙂
Thanks Dudley. Hope to be back on the moor soon. ATB, Roger
Just discovered your channel, excellent stuff. Subscribed
Thanks, welcome to my small tribe! ATB, Roger
That would have been a great pitch if it wasn't so windy. No point is losing a night's sleep for nothing, so the right choice I think to bail out. That Toco tent costs £17 at the moment and cheap sleeping bags can be had for less than £10. I suspect some people regard this sort of stuff as disposable and have no respect for the environment.
@@thecampingastronomer8554 I'm planning on a return visit when the weather is better, I was hoping for a nice sunrise shining on the escarpment. And £17? - that's amazing. I couldn't report what the lady taking it down actually said about the ones who left it there. Thanks for watching John.
I want to know while you were there what the situation is at night? Can you see stars ? Is it really dark sky area ? Please advise and thanks
When I was there it was almost a full moon so not good stargazing weather. But yes, it's part of the dark sky area of the Brecon Beacons.
@thewanderingforester Appreciate your reply I am planning to visit the area in mid-September
A long night in a wind-blasted tent isn't fun. I have two nights permanently etched in my mind where I was bracing the tent from the inside, on absolute pins. I'd rather stay at home!
If only the Met office could get the forecast right! Well to be honest they all the weather right, but not necessarily in the right order.😀 Yeah just very uncomfortable, just glad I was only an hour from the valley. Cheers Chris. ATB, Roger
Nice video Rodger shame you had to bail, I’ve been there and done that you made the right decision. I laughed when you mentioned the OEX phoxx tent, I spotted loads on my last camp weekend just gone and actually mentioned it on my video. Don’t know what the answer is with these “assholes” leaving rubbish everywhere? I’m seeing more and more rubbish in the Lake District, it’s like people just don’t care anymore and do what they like without any consideration to others or the environment. ATB Karl
Thanks Karl. I think the tent would have been ok although it was on the edge of what it would take, I just didn't see the point of staying up there all night in that racket. Hopefully once the holiday season is over the assholes will go home for the winter. ATB, Roger
@@thewanderingforester Totally agree it's not great being in a tent when the winds pick up the noise is horrendous and you get hardly any sleep. I Kkeep looking at these Durston x mid tents. Planning a few more long distance walks and I think it would fit the bill perfectly. ATB Karl
We really like ours. (Also have the 2P for when Linda comes) I think somewhere around 40mph is the top end of wind I'd want to be in it. Can be a little tricky if the pitch is on the small side or particularly bumpy but there are ways around it.
There's a song there; you gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em 😉 I wonder how many tents were abandoned down by the Llyn!
Yeah, I wondered that. They would have been more sheltered down there, but you never know. Thanks for watching
Lovely. It’s pronounced Suit-her fell, rhymes with hooter. 😉
Thanks - we thought it would be something like that. Thanks for watching. ATB, Roger
I’ve had to abandon camp twice around pen y fan as assholes turned up with big sound systems speakers blasting out 100 metres from my tent. Really am starting to think I prefer winter camping for solitude
Thinking alike to be honest. The weather has been awful this year anyway! Thanks for watching.
@@thewanderingforester there’s a bbc news article about the huge influx of people to the park this year. With the park asking people avoid until September 😅
Not a bad idea.
Lovely job Sir.. I gotta get myself over there. Looks stunning. Great job and well edited.
Thanks. The Brecon Beacons National Park is quite a place, Lots to go at.
Made a good decision there. I was out in my X mid the other month and the wind suddenly picked up out of the blue at about 3:30. I love the xmid but I don't think it's meant for winds on summits so packed up and left just around first light. Might look at getting something more suitable for winds etc. Maybe a tunnel tent or something. I don't intend to go out in high winds but sometimes they just pop up !
The XMid was standing up to the wind but I wasn't enjoying being in it - so why bother. 😃 I have a Big Sky Chinook which handles wind really well but it's stupidly expensive new. I got a good deal on a used one. Thanks for watching.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. How would you say the Big Sky handles the wind etc? I've got a Kuiu Storm thingy but want a lighter smaller one ideally but which is as strong as that in the wind.
I've only been out in it in low 30mph gusts which didn't trouble it. Andy Beavers has one that has been in higher winds I think. Might be worth checking his channel?
No etiquette on the hills now, finding it harder and harder to find somewhere unspoilt. On a brighter note really enjoyed the video, love it when it’s windy but not that windy.
It was too much for me, I'm not going into that weather deliberately - just wish the weather forecast could be trusted a bit more. 😃 And you're right about hill etiquette, becoming less frequent. Thanks for watching. ATB, Roger
Avoid the Lake District at weekends. Campsite have become expensive so those who would normally go there just pitch up on the hills as if it was a free campsite.
Great video Roger. Just as interesting as a fair weather one. Btw, did you mean storm arriving AGAIN? it never seems to end. And yes a>r$wls who left the tent. Keep the vids coming atb
Thanks Pete. It does seem like the bad weather is never ending. I see storm "Ernest" is on the way next! ATB, Roger
The 2 rivers join in Cefn coed
True, is that not part of Merthyr?
@@thewanderingforester yes 😊👍 where they join swam there many times when I was younger, also up both rivers, enjoyed your vid by the way😉👌👍
Your alive to tell the tale you did the right thing 👍
I think I would have been safe enough to stay but really didn't see the point of such an uncomfortable night. Thanks for watching.. ATB,Roger
This was just what I needed ❤ thank you for such a good video as usual, cosy yet adventurous 😅 Edit: I've had a similar experience in Sarek, where the weather god crazy, so caved in at 3 at night and just started walking to the next point, so much better then trying to sleep, that is just stressful, better to walk 😂
Thanks! On the way down I met two photographers who had been higher up hoping to take pictures of the Aurora Borealis if it appeared but were coming down as it felt dangerous up there. I had no idea the Aurora was a possibility as it is extremely unusual this far south. It might have tempted me to stay. (I just checked out Sarek - looks amazing)
Thanks for the video. You've just convinced me not to get an Xmid.
It wasn't really the Xmids fault, it was handling the wind ok albeit it does stretch in when the wind hits on the long side. It does have it's faults though. I just didn't see the point of sitting it out all night. Had I known the wind was going to be that I would have stayed at home. Thanks for watching. ATB, Roger
👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great download and big help, looking at taking it up in a couple of weeks, is the trail self explanatory, cheers 👍👏
There aren't a great deal of trail signposts to be honest, but we found the OS maps very accurate through the fields etc at either end of the trail. One tip is to take a path that goes up slightly above the gill up to Lingy Hut. It goes off to the right just above the mine workings at the bottom and goes directly from the hut at the top.
@@thewanderingforester marvellous and thank you, excellent journey and a new fellow subscriber 👍
Nice weather and nice views too but is is so annoying when you loose footage, something I have done more than once! Well you certainly found solitude and solitude with a great view too and I remember seeing Pink Floyd at Newcastle City Hall in the early 70s. When the sun did arrive, it arrived with a bang, so a very productive camp I would say, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. That trip was just what I needed after a hectic time (nowt bad - just busy!). I last saw Pink Floyd at Knebworth 1975, we got the full "Dark Side" and the first performance of tracks from "Animals" and "Wish you were here". Happy days! Thanks for watching, ATB, Roger
A nice, easy watch, Roger. That sunrise was beautiful. I've been fancying a camp at this spot for a few years now, but I've yet to do so. It's a beautiful spot. When I walked the B.W my heart sank when I realised I had to make that descent just to do an ascent straight back up, it was a tough climb too. I'd skip straight across and don't tell anyone 😉
Yeah really don't fancy that 'detour'! Thanks for watching.
Roger, what are those breakfast waffles called?
Hi Trudy. They are called "Stroopwafels". We buy them in Tesco's
Beautiful Roger, you were due a lovely chilled one I think.
Thanks John. As well as the claggy camps recently life had been a bit cluttered leading up to this trip. Felt good to just sit and look at the view for a while. ATB, Roger

No problem. It does get busy so early start recommended.
Hi Roger, we're you out in the BB with the misses on Saturday 13th by chance, in the Xmid 2p?
Finding solitude is certainly a marvelous thing!! Can really alter a person's mind...for the better. Peace...isn't that something all of us are in pursuit of.
It certainly is. Precious little of it around sometimes! Thanks for watching.
One of my favourite spots just the other side of the trig point 👌🏻. It’s worth coming from the west through Herbert’s quarry along the Beacons Way. Some lovely history
I'll be coming from the west in a few weeks attempting the Beacons Way. ATB, Roger
@@thewanderingforester looking forward to watching that. I’m hoping to do it either later this year or next 🤞🏻

Yes it is. I think I'll go back later in the year when hopefully the air is a bit clearer to the west. ATB, Roger
