In this video I head out hiking in the Peak District to continue my Ethels challenge. With a backpack chocka with gear to show you, I head up Eldon Hill via the stunning cave dale and winnats pass which would be the 9th Ethel of the 95 challenge.

When I feel low I watch a Paul Messner or WildBeare video. Never fails to lift the mood. Thank you Paul.
You need to get out more
@@MrAndRob , It isn't always possible to get out. Being able to put a video on and relax is an amazing gift for us who live with mood disorders. But you're right, grab every opportunity to get out into the hills when possible, it is an amazing anti-depressant.
Here here...
These are the guys I follow too for similar reasons
Bushman and Blue are amazing too.
I think grizzlies and and cougar should be introduced to the UK. You guys need some excitement.
I carry my storm shelter (the orange shelter) all year round.
I've used it in anger a few times too.
Great piece of kit.
Fantastic video! Your tarp shelter setup and bothy demonstration are incredibly informative and practical. I appreciate the attention to detail in your backpack loadout, too. Your expertise is evident, and it's evident that you've put a lot of thought into preparing for outdoor adventures. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights and tips!
Thanks for the great talk on Friday night at @alpkit big shakeout, wanted to say thanks in person but you were getting mobbed. Hope you had a great weekend.
Other people is one of the reasons I always advocate carrying a stove of some kind, even something pocket sized like the BCB Fire Dragon. Weather in Britain can change in an instant, even more so on the hills, and being able to make a hot drink for yourself or anyone else getting caught out can be a morale booster or even a life saver in extreme cases.
Having a tarp with you on a non overnight backpacking trip is something I didn't think about. Seams obvious now :) I have been in heavy rain on top of a mountain, trying to find some shelter for my home made drone (big old hexacopter). Found a bit of cover under a big rock and my brother and myself leaning over it to make a roof :P
Im more of a forests guy than a mountains guy, but I often take my hammock for day hikes. When stretched out with some additional lines it behaves like a tarp. And if the weathers good you got a hammock to relax in when you stop for a break :)
I would consider myself a fairly experienced hiker and wildcamper but I love your videos.always some great content with something new. You are so natural on the camera and so down to earth. Really entertaining and relaxing watch thank you 😊
There's an abandoned lead and silver mine near Loch Door, Galloway a bit like that. Places where it's wiser not to stray off the beaten track.I like to see gear gone over. Never considered a tarp since on our weekly recce hikes we tend not to linger for lunch. I carry an emergency 2 man bivvy tent for winter hikes. Mine has a thick black part either end for two bums to park or your pack and you. It's got a plastc window. A tarp might be a useful thing for my own wanders with my drone though - somewhere shady and sheltered to look at a screen. Flask for me and a pork pie or two does me well enough. I love lists, especially for holidays. Always bring a pack myself. Usually overkill with extras in case somebody is short. That was rare to watch thanks Paul, in the comfort of my settee as I nurse a man flu with a drop of Glayva 🙂 Purely medicinal you understand! Atb...Terry
Oh dear. Hope you’re feeling better soon Terry.
@@PaulMessner Thanks Paul. Marginally better but probably not up to tomorrow’s hike at Crianlarich.
Im camping in my new empty apartment tonight. Nothing but a cooler and my camping backpack. Will be fun..
Looked perfect sitting under the tarp, hot drink or hot food. Contents of backpack practical,better to be prepared.
Enjoyed as always
That sure is good walking country, and the views are not bad ether.
I had no idea New Jersey was so beautiful. Thanks!
Good to watch you have camping nailed
hi paul glad things are looking good out there. i haven't watched any of your videos in a few months cause i try and avoid camping and camping related stuff during the summer, but really looking forward to the fall to get out there
That’s a great wee trip. Always love the alcohol stove. Can’t beat the smell and the waiting time. Adds to the comfort and mindfulness.
Thank you
I love your advice on items in your pack! Makes alot of sense! I can tell when those who have done this before give advice! Appreciated!!!
Good to see you continuing to tick off Ethels Paul - and that your NEBOSH NGC has clearly helped you risk assess your adventures and decide what kit to take to mitigate the likelihood and hazards. #healthandsafety
Always a fun and informative watch Paul. Your id as must be of value to everyone. Had to laugh at you runnng mate. Take it steady. 👍
I never bother taking a bothy shelter, I pack a poncho instead. Big enough to cover you and your pack when sat down and double as your waterproofs. Just get one big enough to cover everything. I use the Mac pac poncho, 10000mm HH.
Great video Paul, one thing I carry is an emergency bivvy bag both I also like the bothy too. Good tips there!
Tarps rule. Kept me out of the wind and rain over the weekend. Why wouldn't you
You were blessed with some beautiful skies that day! The clouds were fast moving in some clips. Lucky you!
My favourite local walk, cave dale is my back yard. Great video and your kit is similar to mine. You can't prepare enough!
Lovely video, thanks so much - great scenery. Absolutely agree with you - don't go in the hills "sparse". Go lightweight but never go "sparse". In 35 yrs of hills and mountains, most of my extra/safety gear has never been used but some of it has and was essential for me or another person on the hills.
I always carry a pack, even day hiking. It is a great way to carry some food and water, plus essentials. I have two bags that have my essentials: one is a full on kit for wild country bathroom use (trowel, etc), the other has things like a small multitool, water purification tablets, fire starting equipment, first aid, emergency blanket, etc. I also always have a paper map. Just in case.
Yeah thanks for another great video shame u Didn't do an overnighter
Anyone can get injured the hills can be a dangerous place this takes me back to the c2c i got a knee injury in the lakes and then continued to walk over 100 miles with a very sore swollen knee😅😅, thanks for another video
Hire, another brilliant video. Coming back from camping trip myself believe you me are prepared for this for me three months. Guess what crap happened three days of storms hit the campsite in consecutive days. Got flooded out . Had to bail . But I feel there’s no shame in VAllEY, that campsite or camp situation because of the situation i.e. whether. Too many people push a point end up needing to be rescued or unfortunately lose their lives. Please keep making great informative videos. I love to see more of this sort of thing.
I could see over to your walk from mine yesterday. The dog and I did win hill from Ladybower. Very steep. My dog slept 13 hours and is still snoozing now, but I guess the rump steak dinner will wake her up in a bit😂
Great video, loads of good advice, thanks Paul.
What an enchanting hike Paul! I’m jealous 😅
Fantastic video! I remember my Conrads dragging me into a Bothy bag shelter and force feeding me a Mars bar and hot chocolate on the snow line in the Scottish highlands 🏴 on exercise 😂 they noticed I wasn’t well even when I didn’t. Long live the Bothy shelter and climbing buddies, when we are on our own it’s essential life saving stuff this! BW, Sarah 😊
I’m guilty of not making a list, forgot my mug a few camps ago. I do check weather though and carry spare food. I’ve got a Vango emergency shelter, it does the job though a bit bulky, only tend to carry that on day hikes now. I’ve been using Outdoor Active app recently, still take a paper map too but find it much easier on lesser trodden paths. I’m trying to find a paper map just of Kinder Scout, I wish OS hadn’t put it on the inside of the map, is like opening a kite every time I stop to check my position 😂
Only recently found your content but I love it! How beautiful is the UK?! Have a great week Paul and of course Jo!
Wow, keep it up, your challenge. Nice to have another reason to get out, Paul in the Dee-luxe picnic shelter
I thought Cave Dale was an underwater tropical ocean some 300mn years ago? All the capped off mines over that way are amazing. There's also the deepes cave in the UK or England around there, never found it but it looks like a manhole cover. One really good tip is have a look on the mountain rescue sites, they'll give you a guide of what kit to take, also reading through the reports you start to see a trend for what causes the most accidents.
Outdooractive works brilliantly for me Paul and works with Apple Watch with written detail too.
Another fantastic video Paul anything can happen anytime 😢
Just gotta thumb it in 🤣🤣🤣
Very amazing video well done and keep up the great work and that place sames like a good wild camping spot
Dont talk about the 80s as old, I'm 1993 lol :p I'm awful at packing too, but what I do is throw everything in from the list into a box. Small things have a small box to rummage through. This way its easier go find and see objects accounted for :)
lol Paul it was bizarre watching this video in the morning then spotting you in Cutlery Works ahah - hope you had a lovely Saturday mate
Heyup mucker.
I've got Cavedale on my list, done Mam tor at dawn, Snowdon Rangers path, Old man of Coniston and doing Skafell pike next month then Ben Nevis and Snowdon Crib Goch neat year.
Best of Luck Mate.
🇨🇦
Stunning location! At intro
"Thumb it in" ... think Jo's supposed to help with that Paulo!
Got any suggestions for a 2 person bug net for under a tarp please? Love the channel btw! Great stuff
It’s all right using all that tech for navigation but what happen when batteries go flat or the device get broken.
You should always carry and map and compass with you
I love your videos. Always chuckle along, it's great that you share your experiences as well as show the products and super casual and relaxed. I hope to meet you on the hills one day.
Not sure I understand why you’d want to pick such an obviously unsuitable pitching site when by moving into the hollow 2 metres below would give such a better result? Maybe it’s a tent v tarp thing?
I was thinking it was to get the view and a better picture 😊
Brilliant Paul yet again....I once sent the Mrs my gps coordinates she asked why I sent my bank details to her ... so I'm stuffed if out goes wrong 😂cheers Paul all the very best marra 😃🏕⛰👍
😂
😂😂
Nice looking place! Just started watching so I wonder what goes wrong =)
Don't know if you are aware but the forest near Back Tor is for sale! Opportunity for a homebase?
Thank you for sharing your adventure! You have all the cool stuff. Cheers!
What's with all the pouches and dangling things, is it some sort of hiker rank - the more you have, the higher your rank?
What do u think of the alpkit tarps? Looking at buying the 3square for this very reason. Also whilst I’m on the subject of Alpkit - being a stove addict have you tried their jetboil eqiv (1tr Bru) and what do you think? I noticed it came with the pan adapter.
Excuse my ignorance, Paul, as you'll no doubt have the obvious answer, but why didn't you pitch the tarp in the hollow ground? Surely that would have been less windy?
The hollow was indeed less windy but the small ledge acted as a perfect chair for an old man that doesn’t like sitting on the floor 😂
@@PaulMessner I knew there'd be a logical answer. Take care and keep on filming.
Always awesome to see you out 👍❤️
Have you got a link to the tarp and walking poles please? Take care Gill
Thanks for another good video Paul. What's the foil mat under your alcohol stove made from, is it just literally a piece of tin foil? Cheers
It’s just the foil baking tray material. Thicker than standard foil.
Paul where did you get the pouches that fit on the rucksack straps? Looks really useful
How's them curu shoes working out for you fella? Was thinking of getting a pair. My knees hip and ankles are killing me. Natty weather in Ireland aswell
What happened to your Garmin Inreach Mini, Paul? Seems you swapped it out for the Zoleo?
Introducing Squarespace as elegantly as ever!
Hi Paul, sorry if I missed it in the vid, but which tarp do you use? Or are there a few to choose from, it’ll only be for very occasional use/emergency
Where did you park for that Hike? It looks like one I would like to do next time I am up that way.
I parked in Castleton
Cavedale and Winnats are both collapsed limestone caves, not glacial carves. About the only time I've used my O level in geology. Completely wrong shape mate. Otherwise cracking video.
The collapsed cave theory had been revised last I heard Andy. Whilst not 'carved' by glaciers, nowadays they reckon Cave Dale and Winnats formed as a result of glacial melt-waters. I've got a feeling the same can be said about Gordale Scar too (another one which was long reckoned to be a collapsed cave). 🙂
Who cares...it looks good
What's the tarp brand and size?
What hydrated meal brand is that Paul?
Sorry, obviously miss this, which Tarp is this?
Great video. Very informative.
Is that the OR Helium jacket ?.
Beats working for a living Paul! 🙂
what size if the tarp?
DOOD!
👋🏻
If I was in the UK I would probably be camping or hiking everyday with those views, not like out here in Poland with nothing but ugly bushes, No wonder people find my camping content bleh.
Ay up me duck.
What footwear you wearing on this video Paul? Cheers me owd 🙂
These vlogs just make you want more out of life and do stuff. So I'm going to do more stuff.
Lone Wolf Luke did a review of those bothy bags; considered them dangerous.
Ask every mountain rescue team in the UK and they'll tell you how those bothy shelters have saved hundreds and hundreds of lives. All the MRTs use them. Who you gonna believe? The UK mountain rescue teams or some guy on RUclips?
@kevinhodgson2085 They may very well be safeish for the few hours or so that a MR team shelters a fallen hiker inside, but some people will think they can shelter all night in one even when wet and cold.
What Luke (and another vlogger whose YT name I've forgotten) demonstrated is that they build up so much condensation inside that occupants would be endangered from getting wet and cold from their own breath and therefore going hypothermic.
Context is important.
No such thing as waterproof
It was pretty hard to watch this one Paul, meaningless
