Cheers mate. I think that I've mentioned it before, that when I do one of those cooking sections, you're always in the back of my mind. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.🙂 Thanks once again for watching and for the comment.👍
I'm new to the camping scene. I don't have all the bits for my first wild camp (which i aim to do in spring next year), until then, me and a friend have been practicing on camp sites. We're going this Sunday, and you've inspired me to try my first ever bottle of McEwan's Champion, which I'll be taking with me. To good health 😆
That's brilliant news Dylan, that you're getting into wild camping. I think that aiming to do it next spring is a sensible approach, as you 'should' have the weather on your side.👍 It's also great that you're going to be trying the McEwans Champion 7.3%. If you're planning on taking some next spring and can get a hold of it in tins, then I'd recommend taking those, as those glass bottles can weigh a bit in your rucksack. However, if I was going to a camp site, I'd be taking the bottles as well (for some reason, I think it tastes better out of bottles).🙂 Thanks for watching and for taking the time to post a comment. I appreciate both. Have a top time next Sunday mate.👍🍻🙂
Cheers Fraser. That could be the Tarpstar's last outing for this year. I'm off up Kinder tomorrow and the overnight forecast is showing temperatures of -4'C (wind chill), so I'll be switching to my winter tent for this one; The Alpkit Tetri.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍
I’ve never seen such nice weather in the Peak District 😂 Great video! Also, I think the main reason why a lot of people burn their food when they’re cooking at camp isn’t because of titanium pans, but because most camp stoves aren’t really suitable for cooking; the small heads heat up the middle of the pan far more than the sides, causing the contents to burn. This is why, as you rightly point out, stirring helps!
The weather was indeed lovely... when I needed it to be during the walk up there. However, once I was in the tent, those showers were a bit on the heavy side.🙂 Thanks for watching, and also, for taking the time to post a comment. I appreciate both.👍
Loved that camp mate , looked so peaceful and relaxing apart from the loud rain showers lol , i love hiking up to that spot and i definitely think thats where i will do my 1st wild camp with my son , i see you ruined the curry with cashew nuts again ha ha , looked very filling though and you cant beat naan breads , i think if id drank 4 beers id be out all night peeing lol , looking forward to future videos
Cheers Stuart, it is a really nice pitch there. It's also not a bad spot for your camp with your son. It's fairly easy to get to, as in it's not as steep as say going up Kinder, and as you've mentioned, it's a very relaxing peaceful location with great views.👍 Cashew nuts FTW! They're good for you (apart from all that salt lol). Thanks once again for watching mate.🙂
@@Hengists_Wild_Camps lol I know cashew nuts are good for you 👍 minus the salt 🧂 😂😆 the buggers don't like me , they are the only nut I can't eat , can't wait to get up there

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps very true, I'm pretty new to wild camping but not camping. Whenever I ask a question I'm always blown away by their answers. Legends!
Enjoyable watch, Steve, I like the way you give a good sense of progression as you walk to your camp. This is certainly a very beautiful area, those Wheel Stones are a must see and at the top of my list to camp soon. Is Derwent Edge any quieter during the autumn and winter months? I know it can be very busy during summer, and you know me, I seek isolation where possible!
Thanks for watching Bri.🙂 Yes mate, it's much quieter during those months. In-fact, it's very similar to when we camped at the top of Abbey Brook that time, which is very close to where I camped in this video.👍
Awesome video and great camp there Steve 👍🏻 the last time I camped on Derwent edge with a mate, we were approached by 2 game keepers that were going to move us on, but after reassuring them we would leave no trace, and a bit of ex army banter, they left us be.
Cheers Wolfie. Although it's never happened to me up there, it did happen to a couple of mates of mine who were camping a bit further along near the top of Abbey Brook, approaching a year ago now. However, they did pitch up really early and insight of some workers doing stuff to the path, who I suspect reported them. Once upon a time (it's only ever happened to me once) I would instantly move on if asked, but these days if it's after sunset, then I won't and will 'politely' refuse... not that I'm saying that people should follow my example. If the coppers won't attend a shop lifting incident, then I can't see them walking up a hill in the dark. Plus, trespass is a civil matter, so I doubt that they would be interested anyway unless it's aggravated trespass, which isn't something that I would do. Thanks for watching mate.👍🙂
That looked a nice trek along the Derwent Edge pal. Good to see the Jalfrasi make an appearance again. Didn't look to be many people out, which I'm presuming made for a really peaceful camp 👍. Blowing exhaust, at a guess I would say the cockpit in your car has less room than a Sopwith Camels tbf💺✈️🛩
Lol Paul. Yes, my car isn't the biggest in the world and it's 26 years old (I've owned it for 24 years) but beggars can't be choosers when you're skint mate, so it'll have to do.🙂 Thanks again for watching.👍

Lovely video Mr Hengist, think I came across your channel whilst looking for one of Pat Dickinsons videos, watched a couple & subscribed, think I've watched all of yours now, great content & good to see the banter etc with Dave Goodman, another top bloke! Really enjoyed a couple of the multi day trip videos too, Atb, Rich.
Many thanks for your kind comments Rich, and also, for subscribing. I really appreciate both.👍 Pat's videos are great, aren't they? I've been watching his channel for years and I find him to be truly inspirational. Cheers for watching my videos, even the older low quality ones before I could afford a decent camera. That's proper dedication.🙂
@Hengists_Wild_Camps it's always a case of starting at the bottom with the gear isn't it & then slowly building things up, yeah - Pats a legend, I'm a Sheffield lad myself, I've seen pat around Abbeydale Tesco's a couple of times - presumably calling in for his favourite rib eye steak or maybe a whisky! Also bumped in to Paul Messner a few times , another nice chap. Keep up the good work & fingers crossed 🤞 for the M.O.T !
Smashing video Steve, a bit different to your usual and very entertaining. I go down a different route re cooking. I did nearly the same meal recently. I transfer the curry to a mylar bag and heat seal it with an iron. I scrunch the rice up and put them both in a pan of boiling water. I do take a plate and dish them up on that. The plate and cutlery is the only washing up and definitely nowt to get burned. We all have our own way I guess. I'm currently experimenting with ways of carrying the fuel. My current favourite is a trangia burner and another burner both full of fuel and sealed. Lasts for evening meal, a cooked breakfast and four or five boils. My only worry is knocking the fuel over, thinking of getting some carbon matting and stuffing it in the burner like the xboils. (I did this as a message, but transferred it to the comments...)
That sounds like a good coking system Phil. However, as you saw in the video, I can't even be bothered doing something simple like going into the camera settings to enable the low light mode, and don't ask me about adding music to my videos, again that's another thing that I can't be arsed with doing. It's too much like hard work for me. I'll stick with my bung it in a pan and heat it up method. I guess that I'm set in my ways, lol.🙂
Cheers Hardy. The gap at the bottom did cross my mind and I was contemplating sticking the pegs through the eyelets where the guylines attach to, to get it really close to the ground. However, it's approaching that time of year where I'm going to switch to my winter tent; The Tetri. I'm off out up Kinder tomorrow and the forecast is saying that it's going to be -4'C overnight (wind chill temp), so my rucksack will be around 1.5Kg heavier with hauling that bugger up there.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps haha I’m a regular watcher I just don’t comment very often these days (on any channel). Mainly because I tend to watch on my TV but there’s also only so many times you can write “good video” 😆

Cheers Juan, another pint together lol.🙂 As for the chocolate raisins, they survived the trip and I scoffed them once I got back home. Thanks for watching mate.👍
Cheers Lesley. I'm off up Kinder tomorrow and it's forecast for overnight temperatures of -4'C (wind chill), so I'll be switching to my winter gear for this one. There will only be two changes to my loadout. I'll be taking the Alpkit Tetri tent which will be around another 1.5Kg in weight and I'll be switching to my r-value 5.2 sleeping pad, which weighs around 150 grams less than my 3 season sleeping pad. As for carrying less beer... never! I view the increased weight as just a bit more cold weather free exercise. It's better than paying to go to a gym.🙂 Thanks once again for watching.👍
@Hengists_Wild_Camps ah I knew it, and in winter the streams flow so carry beer up and collect water there! I went out the other night but was shocked by the 3 degree temperature so its winter gear time and switch from white wine to red...cheers!
Eyup Steve, it is a lovely spot that, I've actually scoped that patch on walks but wasnt sure if it was a bit slopey. Its a termendous view North from there. TFS, David 👍 PS is that. Speedster burner?
It is a nice spot David and the ground is fairly flat, as far as wild camping spots go... I've slept in far worse, as I'm sure that you also have.🙂 There was no rolling off the pad or slipping down to the bottom of the tent, etc. Yes mate, it's a Speedster stove, the 30ml one. I also have their 50ml one, but I find that the smaller one adequately does the job for me.👍
Brilliant stuff mate, I bet that you're having a great time up there.🙂 I've just had a quick look at the Met forecast for the Derwent valley. It states that the wind gusts will peak at around 9pm tonight with a max of 41mph coming from a W-N/W direction, and then dying away to practically nowt after. So hopefully, you should be okay tucked in behind those rocks in your Hyena.👍
Hi Hengist’s can I ask what shop for site did you buy your? Leg Gaiters from will it be possible to post me a link? I am after a pair and would appreciate your help.

Im up that way Friday 18th October going up jacobs ladder might bump into you if your out that day???
Thanks for watching Peter. I surprised myself with doing the cooking part before a second beer. Perhaps a spell of sensibility affected me, which isn't like me at all.🙂 I'll get back to you about the 18th, it all depends on whether or not my car survives its MOT/exhaust fix.👍

@@hammertoe8632That's great news mate. I'm glad that it's not too bad and you're nice and safe. Enjoy the rest of the evening.👍🙂
Hi Hengist’s can I ask what shop for site did you buy your? Leg Gaiters from will it be possible to post me a link? I am after a pair and would appreciate your help.
Thanks for watching Steve.🙂
The Gaiters are 'Trekmates Cairngorm Gore-Tex Walking Gaiters' and I bought them from Amazon. Here's the link to them...👍

Another bangin video steve, never been to that part of the peak district definitely going to give it a go,you really surprised me by not having a 2nd bevy instead you decided to do yourself some munch I thought that's unusual 😂😅. Im up that way Friday 18th October going up jacobs ladder might bump into you if your out that day???
🤣
Thanks for watching Peter. I surprised myself with doing the cooking part before a second beer. Perhaps a spell of sensibility affected me, which isn't like me at all.🙂
I'll get back to you about the 18th, it all depends on whether or not my car survives its MOT/exhaust fix.👍
@Hengists_Wild_Camps No worries mate I'm definitely going I need it...I was going to go to dartmoor but thats even more of a trek 😂
