  • We have chilled out for the last 18 months visiting the same location again and again on a Friday night, this is some of the footage we shot during that time. Happy New year to all our friends :) Tim/Mandy

    Brilliant guys thanks for that. We love our wild (Campervan) camping and due to have a look at Mam Tor this week on our way to Scotland and the western Isles. But hoping for a couple of nights where you were. Unless it snows! thanks for the warning. Loved the bit at the beggining with the music. We try to make vids like that. Graham and Ellie 👍..just subscribed.

    Beautiful Tim a real intimate feel to the filming on this one & showcasing the area to it's stunning best.agree with what you say I love the lakes but the peaks are my first love,there's always that pull to get me back there if I've had a break from being up there..in winter too the area is absolutely stunning but can be so unforgiving & people don't give it the respect it requires,you can easily get into bother when the weather turns up there.
    All the best to you & Mandy & hope 2020 is filled with health & adventure..Andy.

    • @savedpurplecat

      Thanks Andrew we love your films of this area they are an inspiration to everyone who wants to venture out. I know what you mean about this area being unforgiving in the wrong conditions, we got caught out early in the year on a walk, the winds picked up with some stinging hail, man it was brutal. I think people see this area as a bit of a playground compared to the lakes/scotland etc but I think its bite is worse than its bark if you know what I mean. Would love to do some stuff in the snow, but I need to get my fitness up. Please say hello to Chris if you ever get to bump into him :) Tim/Mandy

    I grew up in Chesterfield and spent my late teens and early 20's walking that area. My great grandfather even had a house built in Holymoorside with stone from Winnats Pass which he called 'the Winnats'. Lovely video.

Fantastic footage of your visits and a real sense of a wee community of people who share a common purpose in going to a beautiful place in their campervans. It even sounded like you secretly enjoyed those sub woofers and rave music ;-) Looking forward to more of your adventures in the year to come :-)

    Good to see you back out mate, although I am only in Doncaster I have never yet been to Mam Tor! I have said for years that I intend to go ever since a fellow Radio Amateur friend went up with a handheld radio and managed to speak with a couple of us back in Donny. I have not walked for pleasure/leisure in years and keep threatening to, maybe 2020 will be the year? Either way once again it is good to see you both back on my computer screen once again :) I also sub to Bug Out Vehicles UK and noticed your quick interview with Rich, a bonus lol.

Its a lovely area around mam tor and never gets boring, as the seasons change its new every morning. I didn't know you were into amateur radio ive always been fascinated by that. Rich seems to be a really genuine person I really enjoyed his van tour. once again my friend happy new year, health and strength to you :) Tim/Mandy

We have only ever visited the Peak District once, for 4 days and it never stopped raining for one bloody second lol! We should go back, because, as you have proved, it does not rain all the time there and like I say, it does look very nice. I agree 100% with you on people jetting off all around the world, yet they has son many gorgeous places to visit where we are. I wish you both a Very Happy and Healthy New Year, cheers Alan

    It's so sad to see the state of the road today. Fifty years ago this village was wonderful, there was local people living here and it was a lovely peaceful village. I worked at the Nag's Head when it was a beautiful hotel. So many slobs or weekend wankers as I call them, turn up here and make it a shithole for two days a week.

    A gorgeous tapestry of footage, imagery and scenery - masterly edits, making permanent those memories, toped with a little of the quivering mountain and natures salt and pepper. The time-lapses too are epic. Would love a camper but maybe not the overlander variety! I quite like the T25... that is your current camper is it Tim? I don't think I have seen so many vans up there at Mam Tor. I always make a mental note of some possible wild camp spots but lately started to add campervan spots to the list along the way - so I must be destined to have one day. Well Tim, Hoping to see you winging to full health in 2020 and also see you & Mandy out again soon. God bless you both, Stephen.

    • @savedpurplecat
      @savedpurplecat  4 роки тому

      Hi Stephen thanks for watching brother, I really hope you get to use a camper van, I say use because nothing really belongs to us after all! we just acquire stuff along the way and then let it go again. We never thought we would ever own a van but lifes full of surprises, the good thing about a camper van is they tend to hold onto their value. The T25 is a great van, we had one but sadly it was completely written off by someone passing out at the wheel! we now have a transit LWB it suits our purposes. I still love to go out wild camping in a tent and am praying for the health this year to be able to do some more. Anyway my brother may God richly bless you this year, as you trust in him may he give you your hearts desire, press down shaken together and running over. :) Tim/Mandy

      @@savedpurplecat Sorry to hear about the T25 Tim. Hopefully, no one hurt there. I’ve caught up now on your camper journey /transit conversion and so glad to see you bounced back. You are right we are custodians of stuff for a short time down here while passing through. Pilgrims we are.. thank you for teaching me re Dr Luke! When you think of all the things we had and lost along the way but also given. But one thing to hold onto with both hands is Salvation. He is more holding onto to us, in my case anyway and with endless forgiving. Thankfully! Well, I ventured into a static caravan a couple of years ago. Whilst it was near the end of its life on-site, it was pristine but lost out more than 100% in value by the time of its removal from the site recently especially once crane removal & disconnection fees were taken into account. Don’t want to even think about the total site fees paid as well. Lessons learned. Campervans are much more appealing to me now. If I get one I will blame you lol. ! ATB, Stephen.

    Always a pleasure seeing a 'Cat' video! I'm not familar with that part of the Peak. I've started exploring the area not far from you since my eldest moved to Mobberley which is not far from the White Peak. Shutlingsloe, Shining Tor, Axe Edge Moor etc...I'd probably be more inclined to tick off these places on a day visit rather than stay over as it looks so busy and not the best place to wild camp and have the place to yourself! I'm a bit of an Alfred Wainwright when it comes to crowds in the hills!

      Thanks for watching. Shutligsloe is a classic (The Matterhorn of Peak District) This is much closer to where we live. The roaches is also a belting area for walks, if your ever over this way and I'm fit give me a bell and I will meet up with you. Your right about broken road its getting more and more popular, 18 months ago there was about 3-5 max camping but now its getting a bit much. I don't mind other people around as long as they are not blasting out noise! Anyway happy new year :) Tim/Mandy
