I'm from Sheffield, well, have been since we moved from Salisbury in 1993 but currently living and working in Saudi Arabia. These videos are just fantastic and bridge that gap from here to home especially as I won't be back home for a few months, and even then only for a couple of weeks. All these places I know so well - Alport Castles, Kinder Scout, Edale, Glossop, Derwent and Ladybower and Sheffield itself. Every time I feel homesick, which is often, I just watch Patrick for half an hour and job done, spirits lifted and another half an hour closer to home. Wouldn't mind a guided tour of Megatron!!
Hi Charles ye you left some beautiful wild countryside behind but careers and family etc all take precedence, one day you'll be back, I,ll try and keep you connected to the Peak District untill then, thanks Pat
Hi Martin there's always a first time for everything, and your not far from here in Manchester, just a train ride away. Took a bit to pull me away from the tunnels, there such sheltered and comfortable places, all the best Pat
I am a relatively new subscriber. I wanted to say how much I am enjoying your short films. I find the simplicity, ordinariness and quality of unique content, narration and presentation very entertaining. Many thanks for sharing.
For me, the wind and the mist is what make outings like this special. There's nothing like being in a tent with hot drink and food in an environment like this!
Brilliant video Pat - great to see you out and about again! I'm going to have to get my rear end in gear and get out more too... Looking forward to the next one! Cheers, Dave.
Hey Pat a good trick is to carry a scalpel blade in your wallet (Wrapped in Foil). Doesn't matter where you are you always have a small extremely sharp blade on you that takes up no space. Very handy for splinter removal too. Enjoyed your video...they are always worth the wait! Cheers Russ (Australia)
I use sterile disposable surgical scalpels, e.g. B|Braun Cutfix, they have a nice plastic handle and come with reusable plastic sheath. They are very handy not only in the lab or for surgery but also at home or outdoors. And not too expensive either.
Weather is blue skies and about 28c here Pat in tropical North Queensland. Love your videos mate and great to see your adventures. The scalpel blade in the wallet is something I have done for years and it is surprising what a useful tool they are. Wishing you warm weather, blue skies and good health...cheers Russ
I’ve always said. You can watch the rain from your house or from a tent.. it’s always better from a tent!! Well done as usual Pat. I enjoy all your videos..your an inspiration to us all! Thank you for sharing
Hi Neil that's great to here I,be woken some happy memories of your younger years, it's no so good this getting old lark, as I,am finding out myself, thanks Pat
Hi no it's the pull of the underground drains and tunnels can tkeep out of them, also easier to film in a nice dry tunnel than a wet moorland, but great to be back out, thanks Pat
Another great video Pat, I have only just found your channel within the last couple of weeks, so , lots to catch up on. Better than watching TV. Excellent
Hi Lee yes I vary my vidios alot but always come back to a wild camp at some point, I get a sort of feeling the hills are drawing me back every so often, thanks Pat
Excellent thank you Pat for taking the time and trouble to set up, film and edit. Although I'm from East Kent near Ramsgate I feel I'm getting to know your area well! I look forward to your next production with great excitement :-) take care and keep filming! best regards!!
Subscribed three days ago after watching the camping in the canopy vid. I'm watching a couple of video's each night, and enjoying this channel so much. Well done to you Sir.
Thank you Pat for another adventure . You have inspired us to go ( small & light ) hiking . We walked up to Wynn Hill & Lady Bower & Cave Dale . Not as adventurous as you . I thought the best part of the vid was the " where are my glasses " part , you had a look on your face that I have often .. Hope you get to visit the Plane Wreck … I was really up for that . Regards .
Just discovered your channel, I enjoy your very friendly chatty and educational style. This I think works so well for you. So now have to see how you dehydrated cooked food at home. Keep up the good work.
really enjoyed the video and always get excited when there's a new upload :) me and my boyfriend always snuggle up with a cup of coffee to watch your videos and they always make our day :) hannah
Hi Hannah, that's great that you enjoy my vidios, I try and vary them as my interests change, just not enough days in the week to do everything I want,thanks for watching Pat
Just found these vids so binge watched. The quality and comentary are brilliant. As a fellow retiree from the board it's good to see how you're enjoying your time. Thanks.
Hi Peter your name rings a bell, the word Board must be the old YEB, don t know how many times they changed the name after that, I left " Northern Power Grid " in 2012 and have never regretted it. I started in 1971 and still in touch and out for a drink with friends from that era, nice to hear from you Pat
Hi Pat, it's great discovering some of your older Videos. I enjoy all of your content & this is no exception, thanks very much for the great quality and entertainment
I've just recently found your channel and I feel I must thank you for your superb content! Your wild camps are just how I like them - WILD!! Your shed pub is to die for, and your down-to-earth personality is bloody brilliant. I'm not so far away, in the Yorkshire Dales. I love the Peak District - it's an area I have walked and caved/potholed in many times over the years. Cheers to you! Keep up the great work! :-)
Thanks Andy, I think we have similar interests and general out look in life, why camp on a quiet valley when you can camp on the wild summit, hopefully back out soon, thanks Pat
I've never seen Manchester looking as good as that Pat 😂 Another awesome video! I know there are a lot of people who don't really like the mix of videos but I love the fact you mix your videos up a bit. It keeps me wondering what's coming next but to be honest, I'm not bothered what it is, I just love your videos. Thank you for taking the time (and I know it's a lot of time) to make them 👍🏻
My interests change every few months so my vidios follow as they are basically a film record of what I get up to, thanks for watching appreciate your comments Pat
Great to see you back out there camping again Pat. Thanks for leaving the segment in when you realised you'd packed your glasses with your tent. The expression(s) on your face was comedy gold lol.
Thanks for an excellent video Pat. Done a fair bit of wild camping. I too enjoy a night in a tent whatever the weather. Most people can't understand it!
Sat in the beer garden at the Crown in heeley watching this with a gorgeous pint of farmers blonde,Another great video really enjoy watching them,the ones with the beer are my favourites
Hi Pat, Really enjoying going through your videos, its prompting a lot of my own memories of camping. Glad you enjoyed it.Thanks for keeping in the comedy gold of having packed away your glassses, would nt have been any good in the rain!! Good luck from Spain!!
Glad my videos have brought back so many happy memories, this camp did not quite work as planned due to the rain, but as usual, so many other things happened..... thanks Pat
Pennine Way 1990 and Bleaklow was exactly the same as in your video, great memories of turf bog and mist. It didn't stop raining until I got to Hebden Bridge, a testing few days.Thanks Pat..
Great video Pat, I did the same thing with my glasses a while back , they were in a side pocket in my tent lol, easily done. The spag bol looked good, looking forward to your next video atb !
Yes zChris like you say easy done, bit of a pain unpacking awettent and trying to find the inside pocket, hopefully won,to that again, all the best Pat
Another fantastic video Pat. I love the way you just tell it as it is, no bullshit just get on with it approach. Don't we live in a gorgeous country some stunning scenery on the way down . Looking forward to your next video. Take care.
pat as always great to see you enjoying the surroundings whatever the weather ! on the knife front ... my brother brought me many years ago a swiss army knife [multi champ] i thought i would never use it ... how wrong! ... and when it suffered things not opening /shutting [maybe my fault abit] i sent it to them ... it was returned to Switzerland ... and was fully reconditioned ! .... amazing ... they have a full life warranty and is used on a daily basis ! was impressed how compact your tent skin compacted ... im sure very essential for wild camps ! look forward to many more !
Hi Carl, yes I know things have changed about knifes, but I,be carried one, responsibly with me since about 10 year's old so useful, and , such beauty in the craftsmanship, amazed at your Swiss Army knife story, thanks Pat
Thanks for the vid Pat. Atmosphere and coping with what nature throws at us is what camping is about and you do it well, for yourself and us. Regards Pete.
Loving these videos. Think I’ve caught up on every single one now! Would love to see another beer video soon, maybe around Kelham Island. First round is on me!
Hi Elliot, great place to drink kelham, went to Beer festival last Thurs, great day out,may bump into you one day,roundzKelham or on Eccy Road, all the best Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Hello Pat. Your videos are fantastic. I am amazed at all the different subjects you cover. I never knew people camped in a treetop. I never knew there are caves under Sheffield. You showed some smashing pubs. Your photography is really good. I will write a blog post about you in the next day or two. Toodle pip. ilona
Found one of your railway tunnel videos 3days ago, since watched your wild camp videos! Not sure about tree camping as you must get bitten by everything going!! Your videos are addictive, love the way its all filmed inc. script and accent! absolutely fantastic sir!! keep up the great work, its very relaxing to watch after a long day in the office! Cheers Dave.
Yes a memorable moment, and so true, I now check where my glasses are after every camp, I did actually stuff the tent, and glasses into a stuff sack, don't know they survived....... thanks Pat
Always love your videos Patrick, makes me long for home , I live in Canada now so miss our crazy English weather lol take care mate see you on the next one .
Brilliant wild camp vid for me, i learned that i'm not doing wrong in compressing my tent, something that was worrying me.. I will be getting some of that powered milk for sure.. I think the weather is part of the adventure, people say I am mad doing my first wild camp in march and that spring summer better, I want to test myself and my equipment I have spent the last year putting together.. Just home from my night shift, and with a bottle of beer and a cheese sandwich I really had a great half hour watching your wild camp.. Thanks pat..
Hi and nice to hear from you any time is a good time for a first wildcamp, just be aware were you campif things go wrong. I,ve always compressed everything for carrying to get it in my rucksack, the tent spent 3 days on the garage drying out, I put up a line and hooks to hang it on, all packed away dry ready for the next adventure, because that is what they are, each camp is a adventure on its own which you will remember all your life, thanks Pat
Just discovered this after my annual walking trip to Castleton and Kinder Scout (not camping) Always wanted to go to Bleaklow, can almost see it from where I live. Brilliant stuff. Greetings from Huddersfield.
Hi Jill, I think you will love Bleaklow for its isolation and unspoilt wild moorland, but becareful, so wasy to get lost in its vastness and remoteness .....all the best Pat
We get a bit of that peaty brown water on Dartmoor usually after heavy rainfall. I was on Dartmoor on Tuesday and it was foggy like this once I got to camp, luckily it was nice and clear in the morning. Great video as always Patrick, the bit with the glasses made me laugh! Lol Take care - Nick
Pat - My husband and I thoroughly enjoy all your adventures. We were brought by the Fred Dibnah steeplejack & train videos. Keep doing what you do. Love from Los Angeles.
Nothing like good tucker when you're out camping.I traveled to the Northern Territory Every year from Newcastle NSW over 3,000km barramundi fishing . Camped on a billabong for 2 weeks Catching cherabin shrimp, & Barramundi . AIl sorts of ways two cook Barramundi ,Sweet and sour, Fish and chips ,Oyster sauce .Nothing like it . Its the Crocodiles you have to be careful about . Not the weather ...Love your videos ....
You do it so well. I appreciate how you set up the camera than you have to walk away and come back to it. It wall takes a lot of time and of course you have to edit. I love your naration too. Very well done. 60 years ago I cycled from Wellingborough to the Peak district and cyled up the pass, went into some caverns and stayed at Youth Hostels. Best wishes
Hi yes a lot of running back and forth but it gives me the vidio I want, what you don,tree is when I make a mess of it and have to film that bit again and again. Winnatts Pass that you probably cycled up near the caverns is as steep as ever, you did well getting up there, all the best Pat
The realisation you’d packed your glasses away with the tent was comedy gold pat 😂 Another great vid 👍
I'm from Sheffield, well, have been since we moved from Salisbury in 1993 but currently living and working in Saudi Arabia.

@Fred Sausage Nah, tykes ar niver posh
Your a star keep up the videos . Excellent down to earth and good quality photos too . Very well documented and good neration
Thanks for that Ian a bit wet but still a enjoyable trip, thanks Pat
Patrick Dickinson what sleeping bag do you recommend for autumn/ winter use ?
Well that was certainly more comfortable watching from my armchair. Brilliant Pat. Ive never been camping so that was very interesting 👍🏼
Hi Martin there's always a first time for everything, and your not far from here in Manchester, just a train ride away. Took a bit to pull me away from the tunnels, there such sheltered and comfortable places, all the best Pat
Yes, any time spent in a tent is a good time. Another great camp. Tanks for sharing Pat!
Yeah agree with that Anyone, all the best Pat
I am a relatively new subscriber. I wanted to say how much I am enjoying your short films. I find the simplicity, ordinariness and quality of unique content, narration and presentation very entertaining. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks Stuart appreciate your comments, thanks for subbing, I,ll try and keep you entertained thanks Pat
Another fantastic video. Good to see you back.
Hi Alan yes thought it was time for another wild camp, trouble getting myself out of the dry and comfortable tunnels, all the best Pat
Lol. The missing glasses clip with very funny indeed Patrick. Im glad you left it in. Another great video mate. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks Billy hopefully won't be doing that again,must be my age, thanks Pat
For me, the wind and the mist is what make outings like this special. There's nothing like being in a tent with hot drink and food in an environment like this!
Yes know what you mean feeling secure in your tent while wild outside, thanks Pat
Another great video from you and watching this video makes me feel like going out and wild camp. Keep up these great videos.
Great video..Thanks Mate.. The look on your face when you were patting down your pockets for your specs...priceless.
Brilliant video Pat - great to see you out and about again! I'm going to have to get my rear end in gear and get out more too... Looking forward to the next one! Cheers, Dave.

Hi Russ, I bet your weather is
Hi Russ start again, bet your weather is better than ours, the scalpel blade is a good lightweight idea and very useful I daresay, all the best Pat
I use sterile disposable surgical scalpels, e.g. B|Braun Cutfix, they have a nice plastic handle and come with reusable plastic sheath. They are very handy not only in the lab or for surgery but also at home or outdoors. And not too expensive either.

Great video Pat, heading upto Bleaklow today with the misses can't wait
Hi Steve hope your weather was better than mine, mind you it is Bleaklow, so I, am not holding out much hope of any sun, all the best Pat
I’ve always said. You can watch the rain from your house or from a tent.. it’s always better from a tent!! Well done as usual Pat. I enjoy all your videos..your an inspiration to us all! Thank you for sharing
Yes Paul, a nice feeling when your safe and dry in your tent, and it's pouring down outside, thanks Pat

Hi Tim got a few ideas for future vidio s, would love to wildcamp back on the top of Kinder Scout, that's one of my favourit areas, thanks Pat

Haha, pleased to say I have not done it since...... thanks Pat

Yes Simon we have some fantastic countryside on our doorstep, sometimes, taking it for granted, thanks Pat
Great channel Pat.
Camping reaffirms one's self sufficiency :-)
Thanks Amin a night in the hills just seems to recharge my system, feel a lot better afterwards, thanks Pat
Thought you’d got lost on Kinder. Nice to see another interesting camping video. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Hi no it's the pull of the underground drains and tunnels can tkeep out of them, also easier to film in a nice dry tunnel than a wet moorland, but great to be back out, thanks Pat
Hi Pat, I live in Seattle US now but grew up in Manchester and Hull. Great videos and lots of memories from outdoor walking. Great videos
Hi Mark never saw Manchester, maybe next time, thanks Pat
Great stuff as always Pat, always look forward to your excellent content and subjects, looking forward to the next one.

Another great video Pat! Keep them coming 👍
Thank you Pat for another adventure .
You have inspired us to go ( small & light ) hiking .
We walked up to Wynn Hill & Lady Bower & Cave Dale .
Not as adventurous as you .
I thought the best part of the vid was the " where are my glasses " part , you had a look on your
face that I have often .. Hope you get to visit the Plane Wreck … I was really up for that .
Regards .
Another super video Pat. It's just as interesting when things don't go to plan. Always learning!
Yep that's it with wildcamping, you can plan but it is,my always going to go to plan, still an enjoyable camp thanks Pat
Love seeing your travels pat enjoyed this x

Best regards from a windy Stockholm.
Nice to hear from Stockholm about wet and windy but still a great camp thanks Pat
Just found these vids so binge watched. The quality and comentary are brilliant. As a fellow retiree from the board it's good to see how you're enjoying your time. Thanks.
Hi Peter your name rings a bell, the word Board must be the old YEB, don t know how many times they changed the name after that, I left " Northern Power Grid " in 2012 and have never regretted it. I started in 1971 and still in touch and out for a drink with friends from that era, nice to hear from you Pat
Hi Pat, it's great discovering some of your older Videos. I enjoy all of your content & this is no exception, thanks very much for the great quality and entertainment
Thanks John, my life on film, it's great for me to look back, probably more important as I get older...... thanks Pat
I've just recently found your channel and I feel I must thank you for your superb content! Your wild camps are just how I like them - WILD!! Your shed pub is to die for, and your down-to-earth personality is bloody brilliant. I'm not so far away, in the Yorkshire Dales. I love the Peak District - it's an area I have walked and caved/potholed in many times over the years. Cheers to you! Keep up the great work! :-)
Thanks Andy, I think we have similar interests and general out look in life, why camp on a quiet valley when you can camp on the wild summit, hopefully back out soon, thanks Pat
Truly wonderful to see a unique person like pat,, it's just so refreshing to watch a real gentleman enjoying the great outdoors, brilliant 🎄
Thanks for that Thomas like to get as much out of life as I can, while I can, thanks Pat

Certainly foggy and bleak up there but once inside the tent it's great to feel warm and secure, thanks Pat
pat as always great to see you enjoying the surroundings whatever the weather !
on the knife front ... my brother brought me many years ago a swiss army knife [multi champ]
i thought i would never use it ... how wrong! ... and when it suffered things not opening /shutting [maybe my fault abit]
i sent it to them ... it was returned to Switzerland ... and was fully reconditioned ! .... amazing ... they have a full life warranty
and is used on a daily basis !
was impressed how compact your tent skin compacted ... im sure very essential for wild camps !
look forward to many more !
Hi Carl, yes I know things have changed about knifes, but I,be carried one, responsibly with me since about 10 year's old so useful, and , such beauty in the craftsmanship, amazed at your Swiss Army knife story, thanks Pat

Hi Pete yes that's UK wildcamping for you but it would not be as much fun if we had sunny weather all the time, thanks Pat
Loving these videos. Think I’ve caught up on every single one now!
Would love to see another beer video soon, maybe around Kelham Island.
First round is on me!

Glad you my videos, I certainly enjoy making them, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Hello Pat. Your videos are fantastic. I am amazed at all the different subjects you cover. I never knew people camped in a treetop. I never knew there are caves under Sheffield. You showed some smashing pubs. Your photography is really good. I will write a blog post about you in the next day or two. Toodle pip. ilona
Welcome back Pat, another great vid.

Your videos are addictive, love the way its all filmed inc. script and accent! absolutely fantastic sir!! keep up the great work, its very relaxing to watch after a long day in the office!

Hi Zdenek yes in the right place wind noise can add to the atmosphere of a vidio, all the best Pat
Top video Pat. Thanks for sharing the experience. ATB
Brilliant wild camp vid for me, i learned that i'm not doing wrong in compressing my tent, something that was worrying me.. I will be getting some of that powered milk for sure.. I think the weather is part of the adventure, people say I am mad doing my first wild camp in march and that spring summer better, I want to test myself and my equipment I have spent the last year putting together.. Just home from my night shift, and with a bottle of beer and a cheese sandwich I really had a great half hour watching your wild camp.. Thanks pat..
Hi and nice to hear from you any time is a good time for a first wildcamp, just be aware were you campif things go wrong. I,ve always compressed everything for carrying to get it in my rucksack, the tent spent 3 days on the garage drying out, I put up a line and hooks to hang it on, all packed away dry ready for the next adventure, because that is what they are, each camp is a adventure on its own which you will remember all your life, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Thanks Pat, an adventure is exactly what I'm looking for, before it's to late.. ;)
Just discovered this after my annual walking trip to Castleton and Kinder Scout (not camping) Always wanted to go to Bleaklow, can almost see it from where I live. Brilliant stuff. Greetings from Huddersfield.
Hi Jill, I think you will love Bleaklow for its isolation and unspoilt wild moorland, but becareful, so wasy to get lost in its vastness and remoteness .....all the best Pat
We get a bit of that peaty brown water on Dartmoor usually after heavy rainfall. I was on Dartmoor on Tuesday and it was foggy like this once I got to camp, luckily it was nice and clear in the morning. Great video as always Patrick, the bit with the glasses made me laugh! Lol Take care - Nick
Hi Nick the water up here is all brown even when filtered but tastes Ok, hopefully won't be packing my glasses away again, thanks Pat
Pat - My husband and I thoroughly enjoy all your adventures. We were brought by the Fred Dibnah steeplejack & train videos. Keep doing what you do. Love from Los Angeles.
Lovely to hear from Los Angeles, thanks for the kind words, and appreciate you looking at my vidios, thanks Pat
Nothing like good tucker when you're out camping.I traveled to the Northern Territory Every year from Newcastle NSW over 3,000km barramundi fishing . Camped on a billabong for 2 weeks Catching cherabin shrimp, & Barramundi . AIl sorts of ways two cook Barramundi ,Sweet and sour, Fish and chips ,Oyster sauce .Nothing like it . Its the Crocodiles you have to be careful about . Not the weather ...Love your videos ....
You do it so well. I appreciate how you set up the camera than you have to walk away and come back to it. It wall takes a lot of time and of course you have to edit. I love your naration too. Very well done. 60 years ago I cycled from Wellingborough to the Peak district and cyled up the pass, went into some caverns and stayed at Youth Hostels. Best wishes
Hi yes a lot of running back and forth but it gives me the vidio I want, what you don,tree is when I make a mess of it and have to film that bit again and again. Winnatts Pass that you probably cycled up near the caverns is as steep as ever, you did well getting up there, all the best Pat
