Wild camp on the hills west of Sheffield at Owler Bar in very wet and windy conditions. Opportunity to try out my Crux Storm tent in preparation for winter months ahead.
Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers. By the way you talk to us, it is clear how much you value your viewers - you treat us like friends. You have no 'airs 'n graces', you're a genuine fella with a zest for adventure. Your videos are very well presented and your manner is just right. Keep up the good work Patrick, you are an inspiration!
Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat
Hi Pat. Thanks again for braving the elements. We always look forward to watching your next adventure and hope to take up wild camping ourselves in the not too distant future.
Tim W Hi Tim and thanks for watching, hope you do get out wild camping because you will always have something adventurous to do and you will feel great afterwards, all the best Pat
Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!
The Crux Storm looks pretty solid, hardy and spacious with a good porch and side pockets. I like it! Photos look cool and that breakfast looks scrumptious! Another great video.
You can tell from seeing you inside the tent how well structured it is -my first time watching you - really enjoyed it - hope you have some more I can watch -thank you for sharing
Hi and nice to meet you, this was first time I had used the Crux tent, felt very strong, usually use a Hilleberg Soulo due to lightness and ease of errecting. Hope you like my channel, quite a bit of wild camping but my interests vary and I like different filming challenges. You will seems underground quite a lot and sometimes up in the trees, all the best for 2019 Pat
Hi Pat, really enjoy your videos, especially the wet, cold and windy camps. Nothing like being all dry and cosy in a good tent when its blowing a gale and pouring outside. I liked the Crux tent, very nice bit of kit.
BADOLDBIKER Hi yes very impressed with the strength and stability of the Crux Storm tent, felt very secure and cozy in my home for the night on the wild moorlands above Sheffield, thanks for your comments and watching ,Pat
Michael Putsey Hi Michael great location this with great views and very accessable, might not be out until Jan as it's that time of the year, all the best Pat
I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.
Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks. Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat
Hallo Pat.Super video.You show Shefield so well.My Daughter went to Shefield University for 3 years and I used to fly over your campsite at about 44000feet quite often.My flight comeing from Canada starting at Fort Worth Texas.we would just miss Nottingham and head past Marham RAF base in Norfolk much lower probably 30ish Thousand feet where I had lived for 3 years then we would climb above 36000ft over the North Sea heading for Holland and finally Germany.At times the midnightish views over Shefield and Marham were very clear the lighting showing lots of details.Well you remind me of England and my travels from around the world and my Daughter who lives in South Korea. BYE,Be Blessed mate.PS. No need to answer I understand your work load.
blackydon Hi yes all my interests rolled into one, just missing the beer on this one but thought I might need a clear head with the weather. Waiting for the BBC to call !! Pat
That was great Pat! Personally I like to see the living quarters inside the cosy atmosphere of the tent with you inside. That tent is a tardis on film. You look to have loads of room. Wish mine had the porch and rear storage. The shots of Sheffield and power stations were brill! I don;t mind the so called bad weather. Coping with a bit of adversity is part of what its all about. I like the challenge and sense of satisfaction it gives plus creating good memories.That breakfast looked the business btw. Keep em coming Pat, and from MY point of view please show more of the inside of your tents (for the cosy atmos). I would have stayed another day lol.
Hi Pete your right a bit of bad weather just adds to the adventure and there the camps you remember, great views from up there not that high neither. will try and film in tents good to show people round especially if wild and windy and wet outside, all the best Pat
Another engaging and informative video. I made tea and a sarnie as I normally do for Mr Dickenson’s camping videos and look forward to the next. Inspiring and entertaining stuff
Top man ten pint pub crawl and then go and pitch a tent . Fantastic pictures , i like that your not afraid to get out in all weathers. Like the tent very roomy .
PUNK HIKER Hi yes our Newark trip is always a great weekend most of the lads are from Barnsley and they certainly like a drink, I struggle to keep up but you,be got to do your best, thanks for watching Pat
What a great place so close to home. Conditions looked challenging, though obviously ideal for putting the Crux storm tent to the test ... and yourself :)
Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.
Chris Thornley Hi Chris yes I was surprised how the photo appeared to put Drax just beyond the city not nearly 30 miles away sat looking at the view for ages trying different camera settings, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Great video Patrick, the tent looked very sturdy . Some great photos, there is so much to remember with cameras when doing stills and video I've done exactly the same (left it on manual focus lol) looking forward to your next adventure . Thanks!
Chris Millington Hi Chris yes the more you use your camera with varied setting more chance of mistakes, been exploring underground before this video and beginning of video is a bit rubbish I had actually left ISO on 3600 and white balance on aLED setting hope nobody noticed, all the best Pat
Very much enjoyed this video Patrick! Would like to get out and do this sort of thing again. Camped out on Dartmoor a lot in my younger years but not for a long time with family life and work, tend to go sea fishing a bit and try to combine it with bush craft type skills to make it more interesting. Good work!
Mike S Hi Mike know what you mean about work and family , even if you get out every couple of months it something to plan and look forward to, hope you start out soon, Pat
Yes will make some plans in the neae future and get out! Just moving house over this weekend coming and will be be very close to the edge of Dartmoor so will get the wife to drop me off!
James Lauder Thanks James great spot this for a wild camp, probably next year for next camp due to , you know what in a couple of weeks, see you on the next one Pat
David Howard Hi David wanted to try this tent out, certainly spacious and felt very safe and secure, just a bit heavy. Great for a winter camp when you are in the tent for long periods, thanks Pat
sometimes, its hard to admit to making small errors in what we do, but the way you put made it sound funny.. ive been in a similar situation and the tent ended up being a large sleeping bag.. well done!
Hi tony yes I ,ve done that before, it was in Scouts on the Isle of Man went on a overnight camp and forgot the poles so just slept under it, we were young and tough all part of the fun, thanks for watching Pat
It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.
I learn something new with each of your videos. Have to buy my own tent. Been camping with my son and family using their tents. Wife objects to me going alone but I am older and less experienced than you
paul keese yeah know what you mean, my wife is not always happy with were I camp or explore on my own, but I need the adventure or risk to make me feel alive. Struggling at the moment being at home over Christmas, can only plan trips, need to get out, bring on 2018. Pat
Classic example of how simple adventures can be facinating, informative and can test ones stamina. Only thing though, I wish the good gentleman would talk a bit of history about the moors and maybe about the town itself. Great channel!
Hi and thanks for your comments, As it was basically a wildcamping vidio I did not think people would be interested in the area and the city of Sheffield beyond. I could talk for ages on my city of Sheffield, it's decline of its world famous steel industry and it's beautiful Derbyshire countryside that it borders, thanks Pat
Hey, I've had a bit of a session going back over some of your older videos - so good, so good. Thank you for sharing. I was in the Peak District recently and drove near to the Ringinglow pub you have mentioned several times. Take care, and I look forward to your next update. W
Simon Wake Hi Simon this was a great spot with views oner the city and beyond, my channel is mostly wild camping and exploring tunnels and drain and anything else I ,am interested in, thanks Pat
Lawson Richards Hi Lawson and thanks for sub, most of my videos are wild camping and some underground drain exploration, although anything I ,am currently interested in will go on, thanks for watching Pat
johnnyboy63100 Hi Johnny yes great spot to camp with fantastic views over the city, definetly getting cooler now, be getting rest of my winter gear out I think, all the best Pat
Brilliant! Love it..Im from Nottingham and just getting into wild camping. Think Ive just about got all the right kit together and looking forward to getting out there. Love your video`s and look forward to many more. Keep it real and Thank You
Loved the story about the works "fishing trips" tent flysheet tribulation,Vv funny.Great film and you're crux tent looks like a bomber for winter camping! I've just started equipping myself with the means to dehydrate my camping food, it's quite good fun experimenting with different menu's isn't it.All the best...
Wow Patrick was enough to blow your head of up there fella!! I like that Crux tent you have, plenty of room for all your gear. Great picks too my friend!
DrTeno Guy Hi yes great spot to wild camp, sometimes the extreme weather makes the camp more a a adventure, feels great when you get back home knowing you gear has worked well, thanks Pat
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
Nice film Pat, enjoyed watching. That tent's like a tardis massive inside ! You certainly have a talent for these films, even my mate in Spain likes them, since I introduced your films to him !!
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.
Danielle Britton Hi Daniel,nice to hear from you, yes very wild night up there but felt very secure in a great tent, don,t know why I had not camped there before,so many amazing places to camp, thanks for your comments and watching Pat
Brilliant Patrick I thoroughly enjoyed watching that thank you for sharing your adventure with us loved the night shots of Sheffield 👍, can’t wait for the next one.
Trevor Bailey hi Trevor this was a really strong tent great for winter and bad weather, but with that hours weight. Sometimes you have to find a balance between weight and strength and where and when you will camp. Thanks Pat
Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen
Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Always enjoy your nights out Pat, just getting my stuff together and hoping to get out in next few weeks you,ve inspired me to do this. All the best mate, Paul
Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
great video, your videos are not only enjoyable to watch but very educational. please keep up the great work and maybe i`ll bump into you round sheffield some time.thank you agian david
20:27 It will not be the last time you get home with a video that is wrong. I often get home and load up the video only to find out that some of the shots have no sound because I forgot to turn on the mic. Painful. But we keep doing it. LOL
EconoChallenge yeah can,t get it right all the time,very frustrating when you film a great scene and find it did not work out but that's how it is, thanks for comments Pat
Yes could kicked myself after that but due to swapping setting on camera and have done it before and still not learnt to check before filming, thanks Pat
Michael Kempster hi know what you mean, usually knackered when I finally get camped so glad of a long rest, just being out in the tent feels great and relaxing. Usually have a 4 g signal so can use my phone a lot and of course filming for RUclips takes up quite a bit of time, thanks Pat
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
excellent video once again, thanks for sharing your trip with us, i really enjoyed that, our lass is sat watching xfactor, and i am watching your video, i think i am getting the best entertainment.....thanks for pointing out all the landmarks, when we go walking in the peaks every weekend, we see all these places but never know what they are, i have a nice light pair of binoculars that i take with me, its great to pull them out and have a look on the horizon...thanks again for the upload, looking forward to the next one...cheers
Well done again patrick Another great video as always with you and you could have done with a little more wind . Nice to see you back above ground after your aquatic subterranean adventure. Im sure there were no midges out in that gale .keep up the great work as always .
Pat another great video I've a weekend of work soon and I'm planning to watching your videos throughout the day...also pat I'd just like to thank you for giving us some great viewing
Andrew Hayward Hi Andrew and thanks for watching my videos makes it sort of worth while that you are enjoying them, I appreciate that. This was a great location looking down on the city of Sheffield, all the best Pat
What's not to like about this video...Great camp..Super tent and wonderful photos...Thanks for the explanations....Subbed and will watch more of your vids !!!....Cheers from Inverness.Scotland
Patrick Dickinson ... you channel inspires me to get out there ...got all the kit together now .. got a couple of tents, various stoves, bag, I live in Mid Wales so plenty of places to camp !!! All the best Pat ...

Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat
Well said Jeremy 👍🏼
The perils of pitching a new tent when you are pissed. A cautionary tale - love it ;-)
Haha, I remember it well,luckly I could of just slept on the grass, thanks Pat
Hi Pat. Thanks again for braving the elements. We always look forward to watching your next adventure and hope to take up wild camping ourselves in the not too distant future.
Tim W Hi Tim and thanks for watching, hope you do get out wild camping because you will always have something adventurous to do and you will feel great afterwards, all the best Pat
That was indeed a wild camp, but worth it for the breakfast alone! So grateful for the upload, take care Pat!
Glenn UK Hi Glenn yes definetly wild with that wind, all the best Pat
Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!
Christopher Raab Hi Christopher thanks for kind comments much appreciated, nice to hear from you in US thanks Pat
Solo camper with no big ego and loves what he does.. You have to love his desire and passion Top bloke cheers parick
Thanks Darren such kind words but that's how I,am thanks Pat
The Crux Storm looks pretty solid, hardy and spacious with a good porch and side pockets. I like it! Photos look cool and that breakfast looks scrumptious! Another great video.
Camping Wild UK Hi yes tent felt really strong and secure felt very safe in it, thanks Pat
You can tell from seeing you inside the tent how well structured it is -my first time watching you - really enjoyed it - hope you have some more I can watch -thank you for sharing

Michael Putsey Hi Michael great location this with great views and very accessable, might not be out until Jan as it's that time of the year, all the best Pat

Wow, another great video Pat. Videos, cameras, tents and food. You are a genius. Cannot wait for the next video and POSSIBLY TV SHOW.
blackydon Hi yes all my interests rolled into one, just missing the beer on this one but thought I might need a clear head with the weather. Waiting for the BBC to call !! Pat

blackydon thanks for that, Pat
Brilliant camp Pat, and that breakfast!! Tent looked really stable in that wind, well done chap 👍

Hi yes was a great location to camp such great views, all the best for 2019. Pat
What a great place so close to home. Conditions looked challenging, though obviously ideal for putting the Crux storm tent to the test ... and yourself :)
yeah so near to home ,driven past for years but never thought to camp up here, so many places to try, thanks Pat
You're an inspiration..I really appreciate these great contributions..
Thanks for that, nice to be out in a tent even though its getting colder now, thanks Pat
Superb video again patrick. Just shows you don't have to travel miles to get out of suburbia. Catching the bus. Amazing shots.
Very well done
Thanks Rich yes just a bus ride and out in our wild moorlands, looks a great place to camp in winter, thanks Pat
Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.

"The Fishing Trip"! Absolutely love it 😂 Smashing tent. More like a portable house, it's so solid. Good purchase.
Wow do many power stations to view from one camping spot. Another great video Pat.
Yes fantastic views from alot of the hills West of Sheffield, the power stations are around 35 mile's away, amazing, thanks Pat
Another great video you did well getting that tent up in that wind. Loving the breakfast bet it taste good.
David Howard Hi David wanted to try this tent out, certainly spacious and felt very safe and secure, just a bit heavy. Great for a winter camp when you are in the tent for long periods, thanks Pat

esa062 Hi and thanks for that just folded them up never thought any further thanks for that, Pat
You are putting a lot of stress on your zip pulling it half way down when you are cooking or showing us the view of Sheffield, love all your videos
The tent held out well Pat, i had my doubts when i saw you trying to pitch it in those winds! Well done indeed!
Bit of a challenge pitching, but I new once it was up I had got a safe and secure home for the night, thanks Pat
Off work with the flu thanks for another enjoyable video to cheer me up .
Gloucestershire Camper Glad you are enjoying them all the best Pat
I learn something new with each of your videos. Have to buy my own tent. Been camping with my son and family using their tents. Wife objects to me going alone but I am older and less experienced than you

Hi Pat thanks for another good video great camping ,views,and some good nosh,well presented as always.Laurie
Hi Laurie lovely spot high on the hills overlooking Sheffield, thanks for watching and your comments, Pat
Classic example of how simple adventures can be facinating, informative and can test ones stamina.
Only thing though, I wish the good gentleman would talk a bit of history about the moors and maybe about the town itself.
Great channel!
Hi and thanks for your comments, As it was basically a wildcamping vidio I did not think people would be interested in the area and the city of Sheffield beyond. I could talk for ages on my city of Sheffield, it's decline of its world famous steel industry and it's beautiful Derbyshire countryside that it borders, thanks Pat
Great to see you back....would watch your content over the programmed stuff on tv any day of the week!
abrasdwe Great to be out and thanks for watching Pat
Hey, I've had a bit of a session going back over some of your older videos - so good, so good. Thank you for sharing. I was in the Peak District recently and drove near to the Ringinglow pub you have mentioned several times. Take care, and I look forward to your next update. W
Glad you enjoyed the older videos,they all bring back memories for me, Norfolk Arms, such a fantastic view, and a nice pint as well, all the best Pat
Hi Patrick just come across your video FANTASTIC, looking forward to watching more, keep up the great work.
Simon Wake Hi Simon this was a great spot with views oner the city and beyond, my channel is mostly wild camping and exploring tunnels and drain and anything else I ,am interested in, thanks Pat
Greetings from wales. Love the views and photos . Just subscribed look forward to watching more videos. Great stuff cheers Lawson

Loved the story about the works "fishing trips" tent flysheet tribulation,Vv funny.Great film and you're crux tent looks like a bomber for winter camping! I've just started equipping myself with the means to dehydrate my camping food, it's quite good fun experimenting with different menu's isn't it.All the best...

Gail Mitchell Hi Gail nice to hear from you, breakfast was great just messed up on the filming easy done, thanks for watching Pat
Wow Patrick was enough to blow your head of up there fella!! I like that Crux tent you have, plenty of room for all your gear. Great picks too my friend!
DrTeno Guy Hi yes great spot to wild camp, sometimes the extreme weather makes the camp more a a adventure, feels great when you get back home knowing you gear has worked well, thanks Pat
Yes I can see where you are going there Patrick. Gradually getting through all of your videos learning and enjoying the journey Doc.
Great camp Patrick pity about the wild man . Looks a good tent ⛺️ as well mate cheers 👍
Hi alan yes tent felt solid would be nice to try in snow, if we get some, all the best Pat
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
I might see you there cheers pat.
Nice film Pat, enjoyed watching. That tent's like a tardis massive inside ! You certainly have a talent for these films, even my mate in Spain likes them, since I introduced your films to him !!
782sirbrian Hi thanks for that and nice to know my videos are looked at in far away places that's great, all the best Pat
Really nice camp place and thanks for the nice video.Blessings
Yes beautiful spot Zdenek
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
Dave's Outdoor Page Hi Dave frying pan great for cooking and also keeps your food warm while you enjoy it, thanks for comments and watching Pat
It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.
Danielle Britton Hi Daniel,nice to hear from you, yes very wild night up there but felt very secure in a great tent, don,t know why I had not camped there before,so many amazing places to camp, thanks for your comments and watching Pat
Amazing that Drax was visible and so far away! Blew me away.
Fantastic view from up there, 35 mile's away and you could identify the power stations etc, thanks Pat
Brilliant Patrick I thoroughly enjoyed watching that thank you for sharing your adventure with us loved the night shots of Sheffield 👍, can’t wait for the next one.
Brother Mark Hi Mark yes amazing view of the city from up there and just great to be out ,all the best Pat
Patrick what a GREAT camp.
Thanks Whitney, great views, Pat
Been binge watching your camp videos n loving them. Theyre brilliant. Think i might start camping next year me sen and a buddy
Have fun!....you will love it once you get used to it and build up your kit, thanks Pat
I love to hear that youve got a LOT better with the ehm's. Congrats Patrick, 😆
Kim Ferreira Hi Kim yes took a lot to break the habit but getting there slowly, all the best Pat
Looks like a good tent. Looking to buy my first backpacking tent so your videos always good to watch..
Trevor Bailey hi Trevor this was a really strong tent great for winter and bad weather, but with that hours weight. Sometimes you have to find a balance between weight and strength and where and when you will camp. Thanks Pat
Good man ! Keep getting out there ! The Peak District is awesome
mick baker thanks Mick certainly have a great area on our doorstep, all the best Pat
Kinder north edge today was very windy
Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen
Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Always enjoy your nights out Pat, just getting my stuff together and hoping to get out in next few weeks you,ve inspired me to do this. All the best mate, Paul
Outdoor Coops That's great Paul I ,am sure you will have a great time, all the best Pat
Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.
Agree when its raining cats and dogs its great to feel secure and warm in your tent, thanks Pat
I really enjoy your trips out Patrick. thank you for taking us along .. Your ' fishing ' trips sound fantastic too !
Martyn Jones hi Martyn yes those fishing trips are certainly weekends to remember, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Well done pat great job in those conditions will be definitely be getting one of those tents love your videos take care.
Jack Hardie Hi Jack certainly a solid tent, not sure if Crux are making them at moment, I got mine on eBay, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Nice to see ya once more love your camping adventures Pat!
RasNicholas Yeah great location and great views thanks for watching Pat
You are the man love your adventures, if you get a drone that would be the icing on the cake!👍🏻
Yes I can see the plus points of a drone, so maybe one day thanks Pat
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
It's better than watching strictly this. Love the videos, keep them coming.
kev adams Wow I ,ve beating strictly can,t be bad, all the best Pat
Have a happy new year and i look very forward to your future adventures Patrick.
Michael Langley Thanks for that Michael, got a few plans for next year and looking forward to it, all the best for 2018. Pat
Loved the video...👍
Hilleberg super strong but so flappy in the wind. The crux looked very settled during the wind
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
Thanks for taking us along on another camp. Enjoyed the still photos. Interesting to see the quary where you did your urban camp.
Yeah nice to pick the quarry out could see every where from up there great spot, all the best Pat
Love these videos, you add a bit of everything; camping, food, photography, hiking...
neons yes I think that's why I enjoy the camping and You Tube combines so many of my favourite hobbies, thanks for watching Pat
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
great video, your videos are not only enjoyable to watch but very educational. please keep up the great work and maybe i`ll bump into you round sheffield some time.thank you agian david
david farrar Hi David and thanks for comments, have a word if you see me, often in pubs on Eccy Rd and Abbeydale Rd area, all the best Pat
Another great video . Thanks for sharing. Atb from Canada
Hank Fromhell Hi Hank, nice to hear from, Canada, was a very enjoyable trip thanks for watching, Pat
20:27 It will not be the last time you get home with a video that is wrong. I often get home and load up the video only to find out that some of the shots have no sound because I forgot to turn on the mic. Painful. But we keep doing it. LOL
EconoChallenge yeah can,t get it right all the time,very frustrating when you film a great scene and find it did not work out but that's how it is, thanks for comments Pat
Excellent video again Patrick. Shame about the breakfast but always enjoy wild cooking 👍👍
Yes could kicked myself after that but due to swapping setting on camera and have done it before and still not learnt to check before filming, thanks Pat
Great video as always. The only problem I have camping this time of year is not the weather it’s what to do for 12 hours of darkness.!
Michael Kempster hi know what you mean, usually knackered when I finally get camped so glad of a long rest, just being out in the tent feels great and relaxing. Usually have a 4 g signal so can use my phone a lot and of course filming for RUclips takes up quite a bit of time, thanks Pat
Another great video Pat 👍 keep up the good work.
Yes a windy one this, but the tent performed really well, thanks Pat
Hi Pat, Nice to see you back, Great video again, More bad winter weather to come yet I'm afraid. Looking forward to the next one.
David Pinkerton Bring on that winter weather. A couple of foot of snow would be great if only Thanks for comments and watching Pat
I’m so home sick love the video as always Patrick & enjoyed your stories take care mate from chilly Canada ex Nottingham Uk 😀
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
excellent video once again, thanks for sharing your trip with us, i really enjoyed that, our lass is sat watching xfactor, and i am watching your video, i think i am getting the best entertainment.....thanks for pointing out all the landmarks, when we go walking in the peaks every weekend, we see all these places but never know what they are, i have a nice light pair of binoculars that i take with me, its great to pull them out and have a look on the horizon...thanks again for the upload, looking forward to the next one...cheers
Hi yes great views from all the hills west of Sheffield, remarkable how far you can see 40 miles on a clear day, all the best Pat
Another excellent video pat , and for once, I have no idea where you camped! Well done my friend,
Hi Richard, not far from Owler Bar, about a mile out from Totley,great views over the city.... thanks Pat
Great to see another camping vid Pat. I'm almost caught up with your others. Loved your urban explorations as well. (Hamilton, Ontario).
Nigel Dance Hi Nigel glad you enjoyed my vids, try to vary them best I can, nice to hear from Ontario all the best Pat
Well done again patrick

Another great vid Pat, well done for braving the wind, love the hydrated food, really enjoyed the vid atb Lee
