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

WoW! Absolutely Stunning And Breathtaking! Have An Incredible Weekend! Cheers!🥂🤩❤️✨

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 👍

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 🤠👍🏔️

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

great video .nice views as well

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!!

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

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!!

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

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

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.

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!

Nice one Roger and an area I know very well. 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.🙂

Just discovered your channel, excellent stuff. Subscribed

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.

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

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!

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

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!

Lovely. It’s pronounced Suit-her fell, rhymes with hooter. 😉

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

Lovely job Sir.. I gotta get myself over there. Looks stunning. Great job and well edited.

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 !

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.

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

The 2 rivers join in Cefn coed

Your alive to tell the tale you did the right thing 👍

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 for the video. You've just convinced me not to get an Xmid.

👏👏👏👏

Thanks for sharing 👍

Great download and big help, looking at taking it up in a couple of weeks, is the trail self explanatory, cheers 👍👏

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

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 😉

Roger, what are those breakfast waffles called?

Beautiful Roger, you were due a lovely chilled one I think.

Great chilled out camp, i got the x mid 2, awesome tent👍

Where is Brecon Beacons? Asking for a friend

Very nice Roger and such beautiful hills, give me a shout if you want some company for a couple of nights.👍

Nice one Roger! How’s lovely Linda? Those views!!! 😍 wowzers, I need to get my ar$e up there once my back is sorted! Mmm meatballs and pasta is my fave Steak Detective meal! Love it! What a beautiful morning, just beautiful! Thanks for sharing lovely! Xx

Where did you park mate for this.?

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.

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

Beautiful place

Did a train up for the Cambrian Patrol in the Brecon Beacans, ending at Peni Fan and Fan Farne! We got snowed in in mid July!
