Wild Camp on Kinder Scout. The Peak District
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Joined by my friends Jon and Lee, we parked in Hayfield and made our way onto Kinder Scout plateau via William Clough.
After reaching the plateau, we followed the northern ridge along The Edge to Fairbrook Naze, and then along Seal Edge to Seal Stones.
We then quickly pitched our shelters to avoid a heavy rain shower, I was using my Mountain Laurel Designs DCF Trailstar with my new DCF Trailstar Inner.
My first wild camp on Kinder Scout, but certainly not my last.
I hope you enjoy watching.
Cheers
Wow Amazing
Can camp in any environment
So cool 👏👏👏⛺️⛺️⛺️
Thank you 🙏
Love these videos Stephen, saves me from relying on deteriorating memory!

Lovely area round the northern edge a lot quietercthan south side.. camped at seal stones quite a lot me sen there's some real nice spots up top amongst the rocks..on the look out for a trailstar too for me sen I'm liking look of them more & more I'll get the mesh inner too with it..Great stuff mate tfs.
Nice one Andy, much appreciated.
Aye, it’s a unique blend the kinder water. Absolutely loved it up there. Can’t wait to go back. Really quiet area even though it was a bank holiday.
Love the trailstar mate. Massive inside but you can pitch it over all kinds of obstacles. The new SilPoly version should be class.
All the best mate. 👍
Great hike and wild camp. Wishing you ATB! 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Another good video mate. That trailstar looks quite strong ans the noise the rain made hitting it gives an idea of the feel of it.
Dunno if I'd be drinking that water like 😅🤣🤣🤣 20 hours on, I'll know you're safe when you like this comment 😅😅🤣🤣🤣
I survived 🤣
Cheers mate. Going to watch you new one tonight. 👍
@@belowaveragewildcamper hahaha check call complete lol
My stomping ground, love the North side of Kinder TFS, David 👍
PS you're so right about the Met office, may as well stick your head out the door some times 🙄🙂
🤣 yep. You’d have thought that by 2023 the weather forecast would be reliable. All the best David. 👍
Nice one Steve.
Thanks Pete 🙏
Beauty place.
Thanks you 🙏
Another great adventure👍 your on rock ledge insta pose is getting there 😁
Thanks John. It comes naturally after all my years of modelling 🤣
All the best mate 🙏
That was some crap weather you had there mate. You're getting yourself about a bit between the national parks I see, it's good to see a bit of variety. I went up kinder scout once, the same way you went up yourself and the weather was also horrendous. Another good video mate 👍
To be fair, at the beginning of the day the weather was lovely. Face got a bit burnt. But by tea time the weather landed. Good test of the kit though. Cracking place mate.
Thanks for watching Lee. Much appreciated 🙏
No Trangia masterclass on this one? I’ve given you and your NVQ level 1 a shoutout in my latest video from the weekend but haven’t edited it yet. That tent looks class too with the inner 😜
Nice one mate. Can’t wait to see it 🍿
Yeah, though I’d keep thins as light as possible so just took a miserable dehydrated meal. To be fair everything tastes nice outside…….. well nearly everything.
All the best mate 🙏
@@belowaveragewildcamper aye they’re not the best but they fill a hole as me dad would say 🤷♂️
Well a man of your calibre with an NVQ level one in cooking, Eating that firepot crap 🤑🤣. You should try Real turmat or expedition food 👌(although getting a bit pricey now!). summit to eat and some of the adventure food meals offer the best value for money . 🧐 Also a tip for camping buddies they both need to adjust there backpacks ....carrying them way to low 🤨 ATB😉
I know. I debased myself eating that filth 🤣
Might try a Real Turmat meal next time, although they cost the same as a restaurant meal 🤑
Good tip about the packs. I’d noticed they were a bit low but being the good mate I am I though I’d let them suffer. #learnthehardway
Thanks for commenting mate. All the best 👍
@@belowaveragewildcamper As i said the meals mentioned are getting expensive but you;ll taste the difference in quality compared to firecrap. I like your thinking with your camping mates #learnthehardway 😂. I bet they made odd comment about there back and shoulders aching. PS Tell your father to keep going .... Camping. Yes i've been watching 😉
@@Johnnygee10 they didd mention something about bleeding from
Their shoulders 🩸. I didn’t take much notice though 🤣
Already got my next camp lined up with my Dad. He can’t wait. Think he’d be out every weekend if my Mam let him. Just done 50 miles on the bike with him this morning. He’s a medical phenomenon.
Us locals call the water Kinder tea 😂
🤣 yeah, it looks a bit suspect but tastes perfectly fine. Love it in the Peaks. Amazing place.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🙏
Weather started nice there mate, good job you pitched the tents early, that rain 😮, love your setup Steve 👌 definitely looks loads of room in that inner, nice and light, what’s the tarp like getting up, does it take practice? Or is it fairly easy? I find them dehydrated meals good if you’re going light, have you tried the summit to eat ones, tikka one is canny, looks like a dogs dinner but tastes nice 🤣, spot on Steve, great camp and location, will have to get myself down there sometime, atb Mick 👍
Hi Mick. Definitely a steep learning curve with pitching it. Worth a few practice sessions in the garden before taking it out into the wild. Now I find it easy. Key things I things with the DCF version is the max height of the
Inner pole should be 120cm or less. Any higher and it’s difficult to get tight
panels. Also, need to use quite long guy lines and make sure the guy lines at the corners follow the line of the seam. Other than that it’s easy once you learn it’s quirks. The SilNylon and new SilPoly version are far easier to pitch, and cheaper. Much better value for money.
Was watching a video reviewing the Durston X-mid 1P in SilPoly and DCF. That looks like a class tent. You have one don’t you?
All the best mate 👍
@@belowaveragewildcamper yeah I’ve got the xmid1p solid inner, I’m looking forward getting it back out soon, that’s easy to pitch really, but need 2 poles, and quite a few pegs if you want it fully tied down in all the points, I’ll end up getting a Mld tarp, I know I will 🤣🤣🤣, love the look and lightness of that setup, but it could be a while..lol
@@otf.outdoors if you keep checking eBay you’ll get one at a decent price mate. Have you had your X-Mid out in any wind yet?
@@belowaveragewildcamper yeah, on Mellbreak, it was fairly windy n raining heavy, probably around 30mph? It didn’t budge really just pushed the side in, but a wouldnt take it out knowing there’s winds too high, just got a soulo for them trips, although still seen videos of soulos getting wrecked too 🤣😮
@@otf.outdoors wow, a Soulo. Hardcore mate. I’d love one for the winter but I just don’t fancy the weight on my back. Did you get it brand spanking new?
