Приєднався 9 сер 2023
Wild camping, hiking, gear and adventures. Inversions, sunrises, sunsets and calm. I usually head up to the Peak District for the wonderful views it has to offer.
Currently using a Vango Banshee 300pro or an OEX Bobcat1. They’re both great tents for a budget and have served me well.
Happy adventuring!

A Guide for Cycling or Hiking the MONSAL TRAIL | PEAK DISTRICT | Best Walks | Headstone Viaduct
Are you considering cycling or hiking the MONSAL TRAIL in the Peak District? If so, this GUIDE will support you with your journey. I set out to challenge myself by hiking the trail from end-to-end then return to my starting point at WYEDALE car park. The route is officially 8.5 miles but at the end of the challenge I had covered just over 20 miles.
The Monsal Trail is a traffic-free route for walkers, runners, cyclists, horse riders and wheelchair users through spectacular limestone dales with incredible views from places like the iconic Headstone Viaduct (as often seen from Monsal Head).
The trail is 8.5 miles long, stretching at its furthest points between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road in Bakewell, with lots of access points connecting to additional footpaths and bridleways. The route is near to Great Longstone, Little Longstone, Cressbrook Mill, Litton Mill and Tideswell Dale.
The route follows the former Manchester to London Midland Railway line, closed in the late 1960s.
Families with young children and pushchairs, wheelchair users, cyclists and strollers will love the Monsal Trail for its easy access and flat surfaces through White Peak hills and dales. There are a number of refreshment stops along the way.

Autumn Hiking in the Lincolnshire Wolds | Brinkhill and South Ormsby | Outdoors Adventure | Nature
Truth! I can’t hike often but I at least do daily walks with all my gear down my road for “practice hikes” and I actually noticed my mood and energy is a lot better for the rest of the day if I put in at least 3 miles. I can go longer and often do, but 3 seems to be the sweet spot for me as a daily warm up.
3/4 miles is a great distance for a hike and the connection with nature certainly helps. Thanks for your comment.
Good going that mate well done 👌 cracking vid as always.
Thanks bud, appreciate the comment. It was a great trail but the last quarter dragged a bit. If I did it again I’d prob just do it one way and then drop into Bakewell for tea and get the bus back to the car. Thanks for watching. 🙂
Been planning a similar route to take a friend for his first wild camp, looks stunning and has sealed the deal when I shared your video!
Nice one, it’s a great route with a great hike in. Hope you have a good time. 🏕️
Brilliant vlog Gavin, fantastic sunrise, hope you got some pics. Every time I watch your vlogs I think I must try this wild camping.
Thanks for your comment; very much appreciated! 🙂 Definitely worth a try if you haven’t done it before. 🏕️ ☀️ all the best.
A great video dude looks a beautiful walk and hats off doing it both ways. Always wanted to do this trial, next year do if you do a walk without a camp I will come along 👊🏻
Thanks mate, appreciated. It was a cracking hike. You’d be most welcome! All the best. 👍🏻
Really nice presentation my friend, these shots are amazing!
Thank you, that’s very much appreciated. 🙂👍🏻
A stunning video Gav. It’s such a beautiful trail to walk & the weather you obviously had makes it even better! I wonder if you tried one or two of the amazing bakes at Millersdale stn cafe? The sausage rolls, vegan rolls and rocky road are to die for! Cappuccino is great too! Overall a must do walk when visiting Derbyshire., although we haven’t done the whole stretch. ❤️xx
Thanks Sylvia. Managed to get into MillersDale cafe for a breakfast which was very needed as had been on a wild camp the night before. 😀 The walk quietens down in the last third. It’s then quite easy and quick to pop along to Bakewell for tea if you’re not doing the return length. All the best.
Great video Gav, I think we are going to miss that glorious weather! It's a fantastic route, I don't think I'd walk it but might be tempted to take my bike!
Thanks Phil, enjoyed the challenge but was ready to chill at the end 😀 Some fabulous scenery.
Looks great for a family cycle! Thank you for sharing! Thanks for your last vid - enjoyed my overnight camp at Back Tor.
The Monsal Trail is great for cycling. Once completed you can take Coombs Road into Bakewell and get something to eat. Thanks for watching, hope it helps. Glad you enjoyed your Back Tor camp too! 🏕️
Smashing vid
Thanks!
Fantastic video Gav I’ve bought the cloud peak 2 that you use on some videos for my little lad he’s 8
Ah nice one. It’s a cracking little budget tent. Better head room than the Banshee 300. Thanks for watching. 🏕️👍🏻
Ha. I camped on that exact 2sq m pitch you have, earlier in May. Had a wonderful night up there too. Absolutely silent. Apart from the sheep who came to wake me up at 5:30am
It’s a great spot that. Quite a few nice ones around there 👍🏻 🏕️ Strange and unique old trig up there on that rock. Thanks for watching Alex and all the best 🙂
Be careful with the outer seams when pegging down the Cloud Peak 2, mine ripped after about a year or so of use. It tore along the bottom edge seam on the central panel on the narrow side (between the openings). Shame, and when I contacted them they don’t supply a replacement outer fly sheet….
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve heard similar especially with the zips and that they can snag and then break. Something to keep an eye on 👍🏻
So many places to pitch - so little time... Love this vid!
Thanks, really enjoyed putting it all together. Great memories of the year. 🏕️🙂
Lovely camping pitch, beautiful sunrise 🌅
Thanks, it was a great camp with some amazing views. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. 🏕️🙂
i forgot to say on the last comment i have just bought two mossy killer repellent lantern lights although i have not got them i can,t tell if there any good but its got to be worth a try if its gunna get rid of them things. but the reviews seem to be good but who can believe reviews these days but ill let you know if there any good buddy
Nice one. If it helps to give some respite from those midges it can only be a good thing. They’ll be gone soon as the autumn settles in. 👍🏻🙂
@@HikingForHealth1 yes roll in autumn and winter because i have two goose dwn sleeping bags to try a 1000g fill one and a 1500g dwn fill one to try and a 400g 3 season one so really looking forward to tryin a few things out especially my bobcat 1 in winter😊👍
Thanks for the video 😊
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 🙂 Hope it helps.
Been on a similar journey. Ended up buying the Big Agnus yesterday following this review plus others. Now I need to upgrade my sleeping bag. Considering getting the Mountain Equipment Helium 800 GT. great review. Thanks for your step by step guidance.
You’re welcome and I’m glad it helped. I must admit, I do like my OeX Leviathan 900 but I find it twists with me when I’m in it which frustrating. Could have done with it being a little wider in the fit at the shoulders. I can open it up and use it as a bit of a quilt. I like the look of the Sierra Designs quilt/sleeping bag hybrid. All the best.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. The drone footage and the poetry especially. Even the little history thrown in. Tell me: How much to park at Low Bradfield overnight please?
Thanks for your comment. Very much appreciated. The car park is free next to the cricket pitch. Hope that helps. 👍🏻
@@HikingForHealth1 It certainly does, thank you! Plan to take advantage of less wind this Saturday and head for the edge. 3+ hr drive for me so parking is crucial. Thanks again!
@londonviking3801 head to Low Bradfield and the cricket pitch. You may need to drive round it to find the entrance depending on what road you enter but it’s easy to find. Have a great camp. 🙂🏕️
ill have a look at that mate because i was wondering about that mics when i was watching one of your videos do they all so work on insta and dji camaras or is it just phones buddy
Mine works directly by plugging into an iPhone as it’s the lightning connection. You can buy one for the android/Samsung phones. Great mic that saves a few pennies as the Rode and DJI mics are £££££
Just received mine from Amazon today 21/08/24 £29.90 ...your video told me all I needed to know. Great job ,Thank you 😊👍
That’s great, hope it works out well for you. Extra piece of info for you since o did the video, I bought these from Amazon. They come in a pack of three and they have a tie so you can tighten it up. “comica Pack of 3 Fur Windscreen for Microphone, Mini Microphone Fur Microphone Windscreen Muff, Wind & Pop Filter for Lavalier Microphone/VideoMic/Mobile Phone Microphone (Black)” They come in two colours, black and a grey/black. Basically I just use this on the top now and it basically means I never need to use the noise reduction feature. Had it out in very high winds and no interference. Definitely worth getting in my opinion as the other sponge top kept falling off. Hope it helps.
Amazing scenery, can't wait to experience it myself
It was a great camp and I felt very lucky to see that sunrise in the morning. Thanks for watching and all the best with your camp. Gav
After a stressful day, watching that video was just what the doctor ordered. Stunning Gav. Enjoyed your reading of Leisure too. Thanks. ATB, Terry
Ah thanks for that Terry. Glad you enjoyed watching the adventure. It was an amazing sunrise. Awesome stuff. All the best.
What a sunrise, Gav. Stunning. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙂 All the best 👍🏻
Wow! I am so glad SoloSarahB shared your video. After the first 5 minutes of your sunny, videography and music, I had to subscribe. Just beautiful!
That’s very kind to say and nice of Sarah for sharing it. It was a great camp with a stunning sunrise. Thanks for watching 🙂
@@HikingForHealth1 I was supposed to put stunning instead of sunny, but my fat fingers miss typed it🤓
Ah no worries. It still made sense.
really great to watch especially whilst on your break at work during a stressful day , awesome spot and an amazing sunset , i couldnt believe the colors in the sky , stunning
Set my alarm, but was a bit sleepy. Then there was a glow on the tent door so opened it and saw that. So shot out as quick as I could. Glad I didn’t miss it as was gone and back to grey within 20 minutes. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
A joy to watch that Gav. A joy.
Appreciate that James. Really enjoyed putting it all together in the edit from the footage I got. That sunrise was spot on. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
@@HikingForHealth1 beaut wasn’t it, makes the effort all the more worthwhile 👌
Great video gav, see your channels really taking off lately too. Well done and well deserved 👌
Thanks Rob. It’s a great hobby and really enjoying the chance to be creative with it all. Thanks for watching. Hope you’re well. 👍🏻
Blimey Gav, that sunrise was other worldly!! Absolutely spectacular. Wildcamping is full of surprises, almost all of them very special. ✨🌄🏕️✨
It was quite surreal. Just wished it could have lasted a little longer as the colours changed from pinks/purples to oranges very quickly. Then it was just the standard grey. September coming up is awesome for sunrises and sunsets so there should be quite a few to look forward to. Thanks for watching. Gav
Yeah.. moments that spectacular are usually brief aren't they, which makes it all the more special when you capture them in such breathtaking surroundings. 💥 All the best Gav. 🏕️
Lovely video that dude and looked amazing hike to do.
It was a cracker Clint. Really enjoyed it. You’d have flown round that route. Cheers. 👍🏻
@@HikingForHealth1 it’s funny every video I’m like wow I want to run that.
Great video Gav, I’ve never been over that way before but definitely worth a look. Wonderful sunrise and a proper peaceful camp. ATB 🙏👍
It was a great hike in, with a range of scenery to mix it all up a bit. Peaceful camp too. Shame about the midges but they weren’t about for long when the breeze picked up. All the best.
Nice video that mate, well edited and cracking views!
Thanks, wasn’t quite expecting that sunrise. It didn’t last for long but whilst it did… wow. Appreciate you taking the time to watch. All the best. Gav
The kind of video I ‘LIKE’ before even watching these days. A guaranteed good watch every time and very relaxing. I was looking through the work window that morning around 05:20 trying to keep my eyes open and then I saw the sky and knew someone lucky would be out enjoying that moment. I’ve swam in Dale Dyke and Agden reservoirs under the moon and sunrises, it’s a beautiful part of the Peaks. That’s for taking me along on your adventure from The comfort of my swing chair whilst my workmen are banging my house to bits! A welcome Retreat ❤
Ah thanks for that. It was unreal and the colours were so bright. It was a great hike in and the camp made it all even better. Hope the new house is coming along well. Thanks for watching 🙂
A nice relaxing video, yes a beautiful place to be..
Thanks for your kind words. All the best👍🏻
Absolutely bloody lovely Gav. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Dave. Really enjoyed this camp. Perfect conditions and that sunrise was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Appreciate you watching. Hope you’re well! 🙂🏍️
@@HikingForHealth1 all good Gav and off on the Bike this morning, the weather is looking very mixed for the next 10 days. I followed your route on the OS maps and the sunrise well you don’t get many like that. 🏍️🛳️⛺️🍻
Beautiful in every way Gav, that trig point was a stunner, I thought Kinder Low was high up until Id seen this one..Very nicely edited video, the sunrise was stunning, as was the heather. I really like that camp apot, there looked to be some cracking pitches in and around the rocks. Thanks for sharing, and stay safe. +1 for the poetry - that was my Mams favourite poem, we had had it on our wall, in a pre internet time you used to read everything, cereal packets, wall posters, even instructions! How times have changed, the information age has lost its detail! 🙂
Thanks for watching Phil, it’s a bit of a unique trig as requires a little bit of a scramble to get to it. Great views once you’re there. Was a bit interesting with the drone as kept getting high wind warnings when sending it up high. With it being mid week was nice and quiet. Can get busy at weekends though. Yeah, love that poem! Often think about it’s message when I’m out and about hiking.
@@HikingForHealth1 Ive ignored the wind warnings quite a few times with no issues. Theres a second message that comes up when its really unhappy but Ive never seen it.
Awesome video Gav, amazing camera work. As always, it's so relaxing watching you, many thanks for sharing.
Thanks, that’s very much appreciated 🙏🏼. I was certainly spoiled with that sunrise. Just nature doing it’s very best to bring a smile. Awesome stuff. Cheers and all the best.
Stunning sunrise! Beautiful scenery! And pretty good weather too! What a wonderful video! Thank you. ❤️xx
Thanks Sylvia! It was one of the best I’ve ever seen. Truly majestic and felt so lucky to have caught it. Appreciate the kind comments. Gav 🙂🙏🏼
As always Gav calm warming & beautiful 👍
Thanks, really appreciate a comment like that. It was a great wild camp and that sunrise was one of the best I’ve ever seen. 🙂🏕️ All the best.
yes that was one nice no lovely sunrise buddie and so relaxing. oh i went on my first oex bobcat 1 wild camp on a closed dwn golf course its in west lancishire and i was that hot in that bobcat i had to pop my head out the tent to cool dwn lol no great video my mate from austieoutdoors 👍💯.
Thanks bud. It was a great camp for sure. Those Bobcats are warm tents as they’re so compact and the mesh is at the top of the inner door. Never had a problem with condensation that much though. Thanks for watching. All the best!
@@HikingForHealth1 no i didn,t have condensation i was just hot no not one bit of condensation mate its been great and i see you was in my fav tent the cloud peak thats one lovely looking tent
Great story telling Gav , I share your love of camping in our wild places it brings me peace
Thanks! It’s a great hobby for so many reasons. Appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch. All the best.
What a gem of a cricket pitch at the beginning. Victoria sponge and a bucket of tea please....😊🫡👍🏼
Idyllic cricket pitch. “Where are we playing?” “Low Bradfield” “Awesome” Thanks for watching! 🏕️
What an excellent and beautiful video, really enjoyed that mate.
Thanks Andy, it was a great camp. And that sunrise was the icing on the cake. 🌅 Appreciate you watching. All the best.
@@HikingForHealth1 it was a stunning sunrise indeed
Can't beat a bit of Drone ducking I say. Brilliant video and what a sunrise 🌅. Cheers Gav 👍
I think I bottled it as it would have sailed right overhead I think 😂 I’ll beat it next time. That sunrise - lost for words. I’d set the alarm but noticed there was also a glow on the tent from the inside. Just epic. Thanks for watching 🏕️
Great stuff Gav and an excellent video mate.👍🙂
Thanks Steve. Was a great hike in and camp to match. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Just catching up on your channel Gav. Lovely video mate. No plans are the best plans sometimes 👌
Absolutely. Was needing a camp but didn’t have time for a huge hike. Was great but had to pitch late as so many people around. It all worked out though. Thanks for watching James. 🙂
Is this mic good for outdoor use in traffic situations with horn sounds, vehicle noise, birds, and construction noise? My home is very close to a main road, and it's noisy 24/7. I can't record a video without hearing vehicle horns; they're beeping constantly. I have tried the Asus noise-canceling adapter, but it's not working well with my Android device-it picks up all the road noise too. Could anyone suggest if this mic would solve these problems? Thanks in advance ❤
Hi, I use mine when hiking outdoors sometimes in very high wind. When used with this>>> comica Pack of 3 Fur Windscreen for Microphone, Mini Microphone Fur Microphone Windscreen Muff, Wind & Pop Filter for Lavalier Microphone/VideoMic/Mobile Phone Microphone (Black) (link from Amazon) I don’t even need to use the noise reduction feature as it cancels it out. I’ve had it a year now and works great for me and for the cheap price it’s definitely worth taking a chance. Hope this helps.
@@HikingForHealth1 Thank you for the reply 🙏🏻
Amazing thank you mate. Buying this due to your video. Well put together video that does what it promised.
That’s great. Since I did that video I bought a set of three wind muffs that are perfect for it. They’re so good you don’t need to use the noise reduction feature and there is a drawstring to tighten it onto the mic. Got them from Amazon. Here’s the info> comica Pack of 3 Fur Windscreen for Microphone, Mini Microphone Fur Microphone Windscreen Muff, Wind & Pop Filter for Lavalier Microphone/VideoMic/Mobile Phone Microphone (Black)
Is it possible to attach the lapel clip to a cold shoe mount? I use my iphone for shooting holiday videos and it’s in a vlogging tripod that has a cold shoe mount for accessories. I need a discreet mic that doesn’t take too much space, but I don’t need it on me. So I was wondering how feasible would it be if I purchased this and attached it to the tripod.
The best results come from when the microphone is placed fairly close to where the sound is being produced so if it’s speech really should be close to the mouth when talking. Hope this helps
@@HikingForHealth1 no I don’t talk in my videos. It’s mostly recordings of the views of the places etc and then I add music to my videos. I just want the natural sounds to sound better and not have to deal with wind noise. This is why I want to attach it to a cold shoe mount and I really liked its size because it’s very discreet. I own the rode micro but it’s too bulky and attracts unwanted attention.
Ah for ambient sounds it should be great then. And for that price it’s worth the chance as they’re not very expensive. I like using mine and have no problems with it. I tend not to use the noise reduction feature as I use a muffler over the top “comica Pack of 3 Fur Windscreen for Microphone, Mini Microphone Fur”
Fantastic mate. Its like an advert for wild camping💪
Thanks Simon, it was fun putting it all together. Great to look back on.
