Winter Wild Camp in the Peak District
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 фев 2018
- After the last 'Wet Wildcamp' I'm heading to higher and drier grounds in the Peak Districts.
Camping at Bull Clough Head over looking Howden Reservoir. The night time temperature was around -3C, but as the snow came down around 2am temperatures rose a little.
Watching the only UK native Hare, the Mountain Hare, now in winter colour and the Red Grouse which inhabit that area.
Thanks for watching.
Steve.
Music: Robert Farmer - If we knew all the laws of Nature.
Still watching Steve… over and over again. You’re videos bring so much calmness into our home. I really hope you’re okay and just taking time out.
Subscribed. Some of the most beautiful landscape shoots I've seen on YT so far with absolutely lovely music. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for the amazing comment. Glad you like it. Steve.
Wow Steve i feel like iv'e been meditating, talk about chilled out. Beautiful film, i don't know how you do it, all the wild life shots, whenever i'm out i just tend to see the back end diving for cover. Hats off for this one Steve, very nice. ATB. Jim.
Jim Holden
Haha. It can be hard spotting them in time, they always spot us first. Cheers, Steve.
This is great. Never braved the Peaks in a tent but have had many a brill weekend camping in the van. Thanks for sharing!

Great video.
Not sure if you remember, but about 9 months ago you nominated me for the 7 questions thing. Apologies for the wait, I was out last night and hopefully have a video up in the next couple of days answering the questions for you and a little explanation for the wait.
Keep up the good work

That's the awesome side to the scenery of the Dark Peak, the variety of gorgeous wildlife and the rugged stones among the heather and blueberry. Regardless of the weather at the time, it's still to be enjoyed. Thank you for sharing, it's a wonderful video, Steve. Take care...
Cheers John. It can be a hard place to get to, but worth it for the solitude alone. Steve.

It's a great place to loose yourself in, some nice remote places where you hardly see a sole. Cheers, Steve.
all beautiful ，fantastic video .
🎩 magic! Clearly put some time in on this one buddy😊😊
Great stuff Steve..great area up on that ridge,i was up there a few week back,followed the river derwent up from the head of howden to swains head & followed back along howden edge to crow stones edge.had a snap stop at the rocking stone,been up there a few times & i must say it's probably one of my fave view points & a camp there is on the cards at some point.
Nice relaxed vid & some great camera work especially with the grouse & mountain hare,the hare seem to be doing well in that area.Always nice in winter to get some snow down on a camp & it sempt a nice calm morning too.great stuff mate tfs.atb..Andy.
Cheers Andy. Yes a great place. I saw a lot of Hare, good to see in their white coat. Steve.
A very stylish production, up there with the best.
Truly wonderful video. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait to get out there myself ! Subscribed. Cheers
Greg Martyn
Thanks Greg. It's a beautiful place to camp in. Thanks for the sub. Steve.
What beauty in the snow ❄️
Another beautiful video mate. It made me a bit homesick for the old country.
Thanks. Sorry for making you homesick, even in the wet and cold Peaks? Steve.
Wonderful video. Beautiful and picturesque trail. Nice music. Th up. Greg.
Traveler Greg
Thanks Greg. All the best. Steve.
Morning buddy 😁 👍. What a great way, to start my wet Friday morning. Top man. ATVB Andy
Great stuff mate and you always manage to capture the wildlife well. That morning looked brisk though. Good to see you out and Atb.
Renegade Scot
The hares are shy, but there are lots of them, harder to spot with the snow on the ground. Cheers, Steve.
Lovely video Steve, will be noting that spot for a future wild camp, looked isolated and peaceful, love the grouse calling or should i say the grouse telling us to clear off ha ha. Atb Bill.
Walking wivdogs
That's why I like it there. It is very quiet, you can't see any man-made signs anywhere apart from and odd radio mast and of course the planes! Cheers, Steve.
Thanks, good video. I have almost the same tent, but only my has 1 layer. Good for me. Music is nice here.
Loverly video Steve, I must say there’s something quiet satisfying about making a cup of coffee from snow.
Regards

Thanks Iain. Steve.
Lugar fantástico! Vídeo belíssimo, parabéns! (Like 264) Um abraço do Sul do Brasil, Fernando
Brilliant Steve. Reminds me of the Cheviots. That b&w shot of the tent in the snow was spot on. I had a night at Haweswater last week blue sky and warm when I set up woke up to a whiteout, loved it Hope your well. ATB Chris.
acedecss
That's the good thing about the hills, no two days are the same, I love the mist first thing (better still when it burns off in the heat!) Steve.
It's awesome to see the grouse, great vid!
Yetidudekiteboy Miles
I love seeing the grouse, they sound lovely on the moors, they create a great atmosphere. Cheers, Steve.

Another beautiful vid , thanks
Widgy Bushcraft
Cheers Darren. Steve.
Fantastic video Steve I do a lot of my wildcamping up there, I'll have a look for that spot should be up there this weekend .
There are a few nice spots around there, that is one of the nearest. There is Rocking Stones or Horse Stone Naze or even further is Grinah Stones if you have time to walk there on a winters day? Steve.
Really well made and relaxing to watch.. Excellent camp out.
MrQuintonia - Out & About
Thanks. It's a beautiful place. Steve.
Crafty Veggie Cheers mate, but it's Chris... lol...
Great video!!
Cracking video steve.. Just like everyone else has mentioned your footage of the wildlife is fantastic and i also dont know how you have time to catch it all on camera in just a one nighter on the hills. Lol
Keep doing the videos steve they are very inspirational, cheers.
Mr Fraz Out&About
Thanks. I treat my zoom camera as binoculars, it slows the hike down but worth it to look back on my trips. Thanks for watching. Steve.
WOW! Beautiful scenery,great shots. I really enjoyed this video. Keep up good work.ATB from Serbia ;)
Nenad Lazić Serbian survival
Thanks. Steve.
Crafty Veggie you're welcome sir 👍
Very nice 👌
Great video.. 👍
Crikey Steve, you walked for miles, I always look forward to your videos you're in my top 5 of favorite RUclipsrs, so informative, beautifully filmed, presented and edited, such a chilled out none rushed vibe. I got so excited when I saw the notification pop up. Just stunning scenery and landscapes. The tent blended in so well with the frost & snow, looked like part of the landscape. You live in, or near a fantastic part of the world I'm so jealous. Pasta for breakfast, Nothing wrong with that. Your rucksack is massive, is it a 60 + 10? Cheers Steve. Lee
Burton Outdoors
Many thanks, im eased you like them.
Yes it's a 60 litre, although I pack it light. Mainly tent and sleeping bag with a little food and a cooking kit. It was mainly spare and warm clothing. I guess it would weigh around 10kg in winter? Cheers, Steve.
great framing and really nice vibe to the video
Wombat Breath
Thanks. Steve.
Genial aventura ..hermosas fotografías...

Fanatstic photography! Im a wild camper up here in lancashire...one man tent in the winter and a bivi bag in the summer to! All the best!!
Dave tye
Cheers Dave. Yes, the bivi is my favourite, there is nothing better then falling asleep under the stars. Steve.
Crafty Veggie hey steve if youre ever up colne lancashire way give me a shout if you fancy some company....weve lad law on boulsworth hill or the forest of bowland!
Dave tye
Cheers Dave, the Forrest of Bowland always sounded good. Steve.
Brilliant video mate 🙏🏻👍🏻
401 Files
Thanks. 👍 Steve.
Capture of the rabbit. Brilliant!!
Beautiful
Amazing how much quicker the Snow melts when going into some water versus trying to melt/boil straight from frozen.
What a lovely outting!.. although winter camping in our climate would result in not such a pleasant experience, -46C with the wind chill today.
Looks like you got a good helping of food for the soul..
Cheers, BB
Benevolent Backpacker
Wow, that's cold! I can't imagine what that would be like. At least it would be dry, unlike our wet winters. Thanks, Steve.
good vis mate nice seeing snow
We don't get enough of it do we. Cheers, Steve.
some amazing footage mate, makes me wish I lived closer to the national parks as much as I love Kent. Hope to get to Dartmoor and Peak District this year again though :)
Kent Survival
I know. We think of England as being small, but it's a hell of a drive to get to the 'wilder' places! I'd love to travel to Scotland more. Cheers, Steve.
yeah, Scotland is on the list as well haha :)
Nice video 👍👌
cool stuff, thanks
Great video. My old 'stomping' grounds out there usually in similar weather too. Where you camped is right by where someone found a 76mm AP tank shell not many years ago. Quite a few turn up every year.
Gave you a sub too
Red Ferret Adventures
That's a coincidence, I was talking to someone on the way back (a park ranger) who said he found a large shell at Bull Clough Head, I wonder if it was the same guy? Steve.
Crafty Veggie maybe so. Back in the day I helped deal with several finds in the area.
There was a wartime gunnery range at Upper Midhope so stuff frequently turns up around Pike Low, Margery Hill and on Outer Edge. I also know of an 18lb live shrapnel shell turning up on Dukes Drive. The entire area was used heavily during both wars and the history is fascinating.
Thanks for the sub by the way. My channel is very much a work in progress.
Look forward to your next video too
Beautiful! Edale and Kinder Were My fave spots until my hips went!
William Whitney
It's a blessing and a curse, being so hard to get to. Makes it good for the wildlife though. Thanks for watching, hope you are still getting out? Steve.
gorgeous, i was at ladybower a few months back
Kevin Piggott
It's a great place. Steve.
looked great will be out myself soon in the peaks cheers
Keith A Davies
Thanks. Where do you go? Steve.
Bit fussy me but there's always somewhere to pitch. When out for daywalk i always keep an eye out for a wildcamp
Just perfect
Rob
Thanks. Steve.
Special.
Thank you
Thank you. Steve.
something mystical about the snow.
Wow. 👍
tres peaceful! tres bonne
Great video mate, and gave you a sub
Border Rambler
Thanks. Subbed you back. Looking forward to watching your vids. Steve.
Thanks , hopefully in about 2 weeks when I am off work
Superb as always, jealous of the wildlife up there, all we have is curlew and foxes.
You appeared to have a fly sheet over the Atco at one point, how was that fixed out front? Walking poles? After last weekend in the rain it's something I'm considering on mine. ATB Si
rhialobran
No, just the basic tent. I try and push the porch out as much as I can to get my bag and boots in. As for wildlife, there isn't as much as should be, anything which may affect the grouse gets taken out! Cheers, Steve.
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing it.
I do believe grouse shooting should be banned and the red grouse given protected status however there is no disputing the benefit heather burning has on a grouse population, another truly enjoyable film
wild camping wales
A lot of the land around there is National Trust land, and as there is still illegal shooting of birds of prey, I'm surprised grouse shooting is still going? I does make great habitat for grouse, but nothing else is allowed. There are traps everywhere. The hare are even shot? That area should be full of wildlife in the summer, it's all grouse and sheep. I guess it all comes down to money? Thanks for watching. Steve.
What do you call that funny little bird toward the end with the red cap?
The funny one with the red cap was a Red Grouse, the even funnier looking one with the blue cap was me! Haha, Steve.
Very nice, can I ask what camera did you use to capture in the photo stills night shots? Thanks for sharing ATB Yorkie
Yorkie wild camper
It's a Sony DSC-HX400. I like it for video, not too good for still though. Any camera with fully manual controls work. Steve.
Really inspiring! Great stuff.
Thanks Matt. Steve.
I miss camping.
I just can't afford all the cameras and drones required.
Can’t you get the local shoplifter to get you anything. It’s usually half price.
@@thebeast2746 good to know.
lol
lol
Really enjoyed this and loved your still shots. Do you have links to this area?
I've been going up there for years. First day hiking and then wild camping. Its a great place to be on your own, nothing man made to be seen when you are in that high valley, very remote for the that part of the UK. Cheers, Steve.
Hello thanks for the nice video. Is the Hilleberg Akto tent? 🙂
Yes it is. I rate it. It has served me well on the hills for around 7 years. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Steve.
Great video Steve , I camped up there back in September. It was warm but really really windy. I didn't find the spring. Is it just down from the stones? Thanks Dave
MrDavidh37
It's a nice quiet place. The spring is just down a little to the left. Great fresh clear water. Steve.
