  • Welcome to Bamford Edge! For this wild camp, I meet up with fellow RUclipsrs Hardy from Hardy Tempest's Wild Camps & Walks, and James and Mary from Bad Hair Adventures. Please do check out and subscribe to their channels (see links below).
    I travelled out of my usual camping region to the Peak District. I met everyone in Bamford and we then hiked up the very, very steep Bamford Clough to our destination. It was very misty, in fact, we ended up walking through, and camping in, clouds!
    A thoroughly enjoyable walk and wild camp.
    Many thanks for watching - Ben

    I can confirm that the bird trying to be the star of my video is a red grouse.

    Great little camp despite the poor weather Ben and the Tetri looked ideal in those conditions. I must admit I do love checking the temperatures when out on a camp, no idea why. TFS Andy

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  4 года назад

      Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Andy. It was quite a cheap thermometer actually - and seems to be fairly accurate. About £3 off ebay I think. ATB - Ben

      Yeah I picked one up as well for my wildcamp. Think I paid a few quid from Home Bargains lol. You still loving the Tetri?

      Got To Get Outdoors second time of using the Tetri. Feels like a good workhorse of a tent. Solid. Wouldn’t mind seeing how it fairs in wind.

    They make some strange noises them.grouse, that's all I could hear all night there, it's a steep walk up that first climb, I need to get myself one of those little thermometers, looked a great camp mate, very Misty but very atmospheric, good video mate, I enjoyed watching, all the best 👍

    How do Ben and great video mate. I've been re-watching your Alpkit Tetri videos as I'm thinking of getting one for winter usage (if Alpkit have a summer sale on). Despite the weight of the tent, are there any other downsides to it that I should be aware of? More importantly, how's its wind performance? I suspect that it's quite good?

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  4 месяца назад +1

      It’s a good solid tent Steve. Very reliable and good in wind. Pretty roomy but you lose the head height as it’s a tunnel tent. Vestibule is good to cook in. From memory, it had a two-way zip which is great. Not the lightest at 2.9kg but trade-offs and all that. Should have said as I just sold mine! Could have done you a deal! Cheers - Ben

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  4 месяца назад +1

      Hi Steve. I found I just wasn’t using it. My Helm Compact 1 is my go-to bad weather tent really. At nearly 3kg too it’s not really ideal for my hiking needs.

    Ben, I do envy your moorland as the Tararua Ranges east of us in Levin are covered in thick bush until about 800 meters of elevation. One has to go to the South Island to hike in a bush free environment.
    Thanks, Ben .

    Stuck on the sofa with man flu this weekend, but this has cheered me up no end Ben. Lovely moody inversions and that Red Grouse is hilarious - it seems to have an Italian accent! Like it’s saying ‘Prego! Prego! Prego!’ (‘You’re Welcome) 😅. Thanks for sharing. Rich.

    Really good video Sir. The Tetri looks pretty stable, heavier yes, but with more guylines than say the Terra Nova Voyager........which is a good thing. Also a fraction of the price. Get up to Scotland, you’ll love it👍👍👍

    Nice one, shame about the cloudy views but you just can't predict cloud cover in the peak district. Did you notice any streams or rockpools or hear any underground sources up their at all? Never been up this section and saves carrying water if you can make your own. Map is showing a small stream further on at the pillars just above heatherdene car park. Did you access from north or south though?

    • @benhikescamps
      @benhikescamps  4 года назад

      Hi Andy. Sorry for the late reply. We didn't see any water sources in this part, apart from a bit of a stream at the bottom near the town of Bamford (where we climbed up from). Have just invested in a Sawyer Mini filter. Hasn't even made it out of the packet yet. Looking forward to trying it out though. ATB - Ben
