Vantage Point Wild Camp ~ Diana Xmid1p Solid
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Camping high above the trees of a disused quarry in The Peak District, made me think of a bygone era and how nature always find a way long after humans leave it alone. The scars left in the gritstone edges are softened by trees for acres and acres providing home for wildlife galore, like a U.K. jungle. This camp was in a place that I’ve wanted to stay the night for a long while. It was quite the opposite of what I had expected, a calm night with no rain as was forecast. Simple wild camping with simple comforts.
Thanks for watching
Best wishes

Hey everyone 🤩 well it turns out I’ve got quite the routine going with this now and I’m really enjoying the process. I will enjoy replying to your comments when I can today. Because my time is precious between working full time and other life responsibilities I like to make a video the same day of the camp and publish it when it’s done and I’m happy with it. For me, the camp isn’t over until this moment and it’s probably my way of making it last longer! Then I usually watch it back a few times 😅 ya probs think I’m weird. That’s cos I am!
I’ve been planning life events and penciling in my upcoming camps, I don’t plan the location often until the day before as weather dictates that, but also my emotions, energy levels and how much time I have before and after the actual camp. Part of the excitement is not knowing, but I certainly have a fair few spots to choose from out here in the Peak District… until next camp, catch ya later ⛺️✨
Lovely as always thanks
Wow! What a spot to camp!, love that silver birch tree! Beautiful video Sarah., thank you so much for sharing. ❤️xx
What an ace site for your tent!
It sure was!
Looked an awesome camp 👌
Really nice night out thank you 🙏🏻
That's a great spot you found there Sarah, it'd be an awesome spot for a tarp or even roughing it in a bivi bag.
It’s lovely isn’t it? I hope to find more just like it. Nice to have these special places that feel good to camp in 😊ATB, Sarah
Hi Sarah,really enjoyed video.what a brilliant location.Could see the delight on your face just being there 😊.Was a bit nervous though,standing a bit to close to the edge.😂.I’m a bit of a newcomer to your channel,but looking forward to catching your videos.Wild campin is not for everyone,but like you its also a bit of an addiction for me also.Great backing music,great information.Keep up the great work.stay safe,very best wishes.
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by and commenting too. Was a lovely camp, already feeling like I need another stop out especially with todays weather ☀️
This camp seems to have a nice floatiness about it.Maybe because you were pitched on a level with the treetops.You do know how to pick your spots Sarah (don't pick 'em,they'll never get better ) Blowing out the flame was comedy gold.
When you got up on the dancing rock and the classical music wafted in I thought,Hello! we're in for a spot of ballet,here.She's going to be up on't t'toes . . .But no! I was sorely disappointed and had to console myself with a foot-long baguette; some pickled eel's feet and a bag of sherbert lemons.
I am certainly no ballerina 🤪😂 if you satisfy your disappointment with treats like that I may have to disappoint more often 🤩 glad you watched and enjoyed it 👌🏻ATB, Sarah
Ticks...I had two on me today in my field! Little bbbbb's Didn't get a munch on me....they are in tick heaven lol xx
Awful
Things! 🙃
Subscribed ❤ brilliant channel and I've been watching all your videos 🎉
Ahh that’s great! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Nice camp Sarah, beautiful location tempted but beware Padley Gorge with it's inviting lush lawn like grass areas has signs up (when approached from the train station routes) that say NO camping presumably erected by the Longshaw Estate. I predict if you make it too popular to wild campers there's going to be a crack down by the Longshaw Estate, which as you say in your video has it's visitor centre cafe not too far away.
Hey Phil 👋🏻 I know the area very well, yes I took a chance on that camp. It’s fab but a site I don’t use very often due to its proximity to the estate and surprise view. The gorge is so inviting there are signs up everywhere, hopefully this puts fly campers off camping but for us wild campers we know the right places to go and how to do it as not to attract attention. Obviously I chose to make a video about my experience, as with all places I camp it’s probably prohibited but I do it anyway, carefully and respectfully ☺️ATB, Sarah
It is a fab site Sarah and as you say we wild campers know the leave no trace principles. But the closer one camps to 'civilisation' the more likely to upset someone.
Nice darker colour for the Durston tent by the way. Keep on doing your thing. It's important that all genders feel they have a right and confidence to be out there on the own. You are a terrific ambassador for that :)
What a lovely spot, I would be jelly legged at that drop off!!... sounds like a cracking place to be too, come CEP-tember (excuse the pun!) 🍄🌳😄
Absolutely definitely 😍 can’t wait for a shroom camp and I don’t mean ingesting just looking 🤪😂
@@SoloSarahBX 🤣
Such a beautiful camp...just don't go too close to the edge! Lol
Always on the edge 😂😅
Nice little video. Thanks for sharing 😊 One small clip that was really nice to see , was the bog cotton. Also the tree was cool. Thanks again.
And do you knew why I filmed that? It stuck out like a tuft of white, the only cotton I could see on that stretch of moor. Out there enjoying its solitude, just like me, everything I film had a meaning to me but if I talked about it all my videos would be like films 😂
What a lovely wild camp! That tent is growing on me I must admit. Good thing is that if I purchase it, I'll blame you Sarah! lol
Mr Durston himself talked to me about how many typical views a UA-cam video would need for any sales to come out of it …maybe the quote was 10000 views = 2 tents sold, can’t remember now. It was interesting info. I reckon I could sell him more just by telling him everyone how much I love it and that it’s ok to name tents 😂 DO IT, DOUBLE DARE 💰
Hi Sarah what a stunning location. It would be perfect to do a spot of painting with water colours. Have you ever tried doing a bit of sketching or water colour? x
Yes! It definitely would be Alison. I have pained and sketched and life drawn mostly back in art college and during my ceramics degree…I left the arts behind to pursue my midwifery career but I do express my creative side every now and again 😊 I may have e to incorporate some
Sketching in these camps where there is more daylight, probably before setting up…ATB, Sarah
What a cracking place to pitch up.
Agreed about the tick situation. I'm off to the Dr's in an hour to get assessed for Lyme disease. Not been well for a couple of days having brought 3 of the little buggers back off Frogatt Edge with me last weekend. Not impressed at all as I was covered up most of the time. Got them off without too much fuss, and no sign of bullseye rash around the bites yet, but feel like the day after I've just had my annual flu jab. Not even had chance to edit the video yet. I hope it (treatment) doesn't prevent me from drinking, as we are away next week - and you know I like a tipple just as much as the old man of wild camping (Sorry Pat).
Enough of me... You want to see it down in the quarry. I walked through there over the new year with some TA lads. Perfect place for camping either in a hammock between the trees or a tent as it's nice and flat. Sadly there's lots of fire scarring where folks have had disposable BBQs and open fires and it gets very busy at weekends and bank holidays. ATB Sarah - till the next one..
Oh no Andy! I can’t believe I came away unscathed as Id camped there the week before you did. I wear leggings and a long sleeved top when I’m camping and the weather wasn’t quite as warm when I went, there may have been population explosion? Hope you feel better soon and haven’t succumbed to the dreaded Lymes disease. Be sure to update on the results Andy. ATB, Sarah
Less of the " old " anyway Barrowhill Beer festval tomorrow.......Pat
Fabulous scenery 😍
Isn’t it just!
Great camping trip and good video Sarah.. keep it going 👏👏👍👍
Thanks a bunch 🤩
Ey up Sarah
Padley moor is a part of the Peak District I've never camped, I've gone past it hundreds of times and never even give it a thought, now you've given me a glimpse of what lies beyond what can be seen from the road I'm going to make a point of camping somewhere up there one night but I'll be waiting until bank holidays and school holidays are out the way (I'm not a people person), nice quite solitude is my thing, I don't know why you don't like the glasses, they look ok, you got that sexy librarian vibe going on 😍😂, seriously though if you need em then you need em, I don't like walking poles but I use them because I've got nackered knees and need to use them, we all get older (and all that jazz) so putting up with a few inconveniences early on in life can only prolong your enjoyment in later life, your only a spring chicken yet so you have a lot more time in front of you than a lot of us older buggers, it's maintenance that keeps everything in good condition and working longer whether it's the person or their equipment and glasses are part of that maintenance, anyway it's nice to see Diana out again, I've got a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of her this year, keep yourself safe and all the best lass, Micky B
Ahhh that’s awesome 🤩 yes it’s my main route from home in Sheffield to the Peak District and was often my commute to University in Huddersfield as I enjoyed taking the scenery in, even when the thick fog rolled in and I drove so slow up there (with the radio turned off to see better 😂) I always roam the area and have done so all my (short) life. I am active in my role at work and want to prolong my life to enjoy what is important. The glasses help me see long distances (you see) so I don’t wear them often, but when I am surveying my kingdom or looking for deer and birds they are very needed! I hope you enjoy stopping your car for a look about and a wonder on the rocks. Well up to Mother cap rock and you’ll see my camp site and the quarry to the right. Beautiful 🤩 see you on the next one 🌳⛺️ATB, Sarah
Looks like a great pitch 🏕️ peace and quiet eh. “Being fed grapes…” what ya like…
Shame about the Misty morning but sometimes they can add atmosphere to a camp. Nice to get different conditions - makes the camps memorable. Atb 🏕️👍🏻
The goddess must be treated to such finery when out of her palace 😂 it all about entertaining myself out there with this Solo malarkey, no one to talk to apart from
Myself, just the way I like it 😅thanks for watching Gav, Best wishes, Sarah
You don’t need an action cam. Your camera work is brilliant. There’s always a party going on in your head hun! In mine there’s squirrels and they’re at a rave🤣
Thank you! Yes always a busy mind, until I’m in the swing of the camp and the phone record button is OFF ☺️
Great video - You can still see the rock taken out of that quarry just up the road it was used to build the Howden & Derwent Dams.
Yes!!! You just triggered a memory. I knew this but had forgotten. It’s provoked more research as I’m often stood there thinking wow, what man power would it have taken to remove and transport ALL of this rock both when I’m in the quarry and when I’m starting up at the dam walls. Spectacular 😍
@@SoloSarahBX I think they built a temporary railway from the quarry down to Grindleford to join the Hope valley Line then from Bamford all the way up the Derwent valley to deliver the rocks (seen it on youtube somewhere!) - incredible engineering.
@@jamiemidgley9028 I’ll be trawling the net for more info as the dams have been a lifelong fascination. I’ve just been too busy ‘doing’ to look into its construction etc. I’ll dedicate some time because the info you find out is so important to get lost as time passes by 😊
Cracking little spot that is. My very first ever wild camp last June was in among those trees below you lol. Woke up to mist everywhere, looked like something out of a horror movie, it was amazing looking.
That’s the thing! It can feel un nerving but equally exciting 🤩 the thrill of it all. I’m
Looking forward to camping in the quarry when it’s sunny with the blue skies and sunshine peeping through 🤩
Blooming heck, Id never have dared camp there lass. Great to see Bolehill again, thank you. x
Honest Phil, it looks scarier than it felt. The tree felt like
It was cradling me like a baby all night 😂
Great looking camp there Sarah 👌….never knew there was so many camping ⛺️ places in such a small area…and all so close to home 😊
Sweet shop that is the PD. Like penny sweets but ya parents giving you a fiver to play out til street lights come on…memories!
What a beautiful place to camp, I,m always amazed at how high trees actually grow but that forest was beautiful 😊
They are so tall and luscious too…makes for a real sea of green 🌳
Great video Sarah it looks a really great spot the Diana the xmid looks spot on bless her 😊
It felt like the right spot for that night, I’m glad that came across in my video and thanks for watching! ☺️
@@SoloSarahBX yeah definitely picked the best spot. And I enjoy watching your vids look forward to the next 😊❤️
Brilliant camp. The stone from the quarry was used for the Totley tunnel. Used to picnic down by the river near Fox House 60years ago with my mum dad and siblings. Great times. Thanks.
Ahhhh interesting! Another subscriber pointed out that it was used to build the Dam walls, many quarries around there were millstone quarries further up? I’ve tracked Totley Tunnel from home near Totley on the golf course and often have a little wonder over to the vent that stands proud on the moor just down from flask edge trig. I have thought about a camp on that but was concerned regarding any pollution coming up the vents from the trains 🚂 I love disappearing into darkness at Totley and popping back out at the other end…on the train might I add lol 😂 it’s a good long stretch that! Thanks 🙏🏻 Sarah
What a brilliant camp! Stunning scenery, love the tent and the weather was spot on. Nice one Sarah 😊
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching. Wasn’t bad was it? Expected to hammer the tent with rain but a nice pleasant evening with a calm feel to it, much like all of my camps ☺️
@@SoloSarahBX You were lucky with the weather, can't beat a nice spur of the moment camp!
I haven't been getting alerts for your videos and thought you'd been quiet, it turns out they had somehow been turned off and I have loads to catch up with. I'll have a good binge when i get a chance 🙂😍😃
@@pauledwards499 it’s probs cos I had my tooth extracted and was off everything for weeks! UA-cam doesn’t promote videos if you don’t publish often or take a break lol 😂 enjoy the vids and ill be out soon 👌🏻
Looks a great location it's always nice when you can look down on the tree canopy.ive just packed my bag for 3 nights in the lakes so hopefully I'll have some great views as well.
Have a great trip Craig. Hope it’s not chucking it down like it is here, although being on a mountain in the Lakes in the rain beats all sorts of trivial places that we usually endure 😅 BW, Sarah
That was a lovely mid-week watch.cheers for that sarah.tents looking great and stew looked tasty.my two girls live with me and I still get bits ship shape before I set off.😅
Thank you for answering the question that I put to you in my video. Everyone’s lives are so different it’s interesting to get feedback sometimes to understand how others fit in camps around their bigger responsibilities 😍 that common ground we all share and why we camp interests me so much 🌳⛺️
Great again. Dancing rock😊
Mission to find one in every camp now ya know that done you!?
Great video and wow what a spot that is,i really need to start exploring this side of the peaks more,you mentioned it yourself its so green, and beautiful, 🎉😊
Get yourself over here Josh 🙌🏻😂
OOof hang on I know now, its where I fell off whilst climbing with my mate when I was a teenager. No ropes or owt, what a div!
Ooooffff 😂 yeah I’d have come a cropper falling off that. Was very very careful. Everything I do when I’m out is with extreme care, even when pouring my water into the kettle pot or fixing my glow bog together for use at night! 🤭
@@SoloSarahBX Hooray to glow in the dark bogs's's! :D
What a beautiful spot by that tree 🌳 we have returned to a similar spot twice beside a fallen tree in or local forest to have a go at some wild cooking. Really enjoyed this as usual and love the different areas you're taking us to, we all giggled when you couldn't blow out your stove 😂. Bailey thinks Diana looks like the tents on Animal Crossing (love that game... we all played it alot during lockdown). I'm very much like you when I leave the family, although it doesn't happen often I would definitely make sure their all okay first. I'm lucky enough and very grateful that since I've had my children I've been a stay at home Mum, although I do, do the invoices for my husbands business. So I do treat myself to a walk each day when their not about. 😊 Thank you as always, take care and see you on the next one. S X 😊
Ahhhh lovely feedback from you as always Sadie, thank you 🙏🏻 nice to hear your a mother hen too although mine are bigger now (currently sitting GCSE’s and totally bossing it!) I still think about them every minute of the day and night when I’m working nights. It’s our prerogative to plan for when we aren’t there but also relish in the fact that I have awesome husband who makes home feel like home
And cares for me greatly 🩷I’m glad you have special places too. I’m hoping to go a little further out next camp but we shall see. Currently torrential rain here up north and I have the pleasures of food shopping and a night shift looming. Hope your home is warm and cosy, as cosy as this camp felt. Thanks for watching, tell Bailey I’ll do better next time and pretend that I’m making a wish on a birthday candle 🕯️ lol 😂 BW, Sarah
Ey up camper, hope you had a good night shift. It was raining 🌧 here all day yesterday too, lovely this morning and has clouded over abit now. We wish your son (I think you said your daughter is younger) well with his exams and for whatever he's deciding to do next, what an exciting time with their whole lives ahead of them 😊. Our daughter will be in year 9 when they return in September so not too far behind you. When I was at high school I wanted to be a nurse, but knew I wanted a family and living at least an hour from any hospital (we live proper out in the sticks) and not wanting to do shift work I decided against it. It's lovely to hear your story and how you've managed to make it work 😊. I decided to instead become a beauty therapist and worked in salons and then a spa (with shift hours, only until 9pm though) and just before having my children and until I had my second child run my own mobile business. Haven't done it since and won't now as I help my husband with his plumbing and heating business. Will be heading out this weekend to do some wild cooking, once we have cut some of the 6ft plus hedge that runs all the way around our house 😅 we have decided to just do the front of the house and leave the back for another time. Take care and we look forward to your next adventure ✨️ Sadie x 😊
Nicely Sarah, not quite sure where this (other than near Padley Gorge) is but I must investigate! Also I had no idea there was a stone circle around there x
Have a wonder from sunrise view car park down the hill and just keep going down until the floor stops 😂I’ll see the quarry before you fall in it
@@SoloSarahBX :D ta chuck x
Never mind the ticks, that looked like an Alien egg at 8min in! 🤣 A rub of permethrin on the clothing and footwear will keep them off for the season. As an ex soldier you might be interested to know the US military impregnate the clothing of their personnel with permethrin to combat biting insects, which hitherto cost them more in casualties in the field than enemy contact. 👍🏻🖐🏻🏴😊
ps - All mushrooms are edible, although some just the once😳🤣🖐🏻
I see all sort out there 😂 how do you know I didn’t lay the egg? thanks for the ticks tip…I’ll

Hey Twiggy! Lovely to hear from you and thanks for watching. That spot feels safer than it looks with that tree there. I wouldn’t have camped up there if the wind was stronger. When I’m
Wondering about, I often mark places on my map that I’d love to camp in, might not be the most popular or perfect but it always feels better for me and more secluded, solitude seeker. Much like yourself 😊ATB and hope to see you out again soon, Sarah
Great spot you found there Sarah 👌I’ve got my own I’ve had 2/3 brilliant camps in its down inside bolehill , right at the end of level two😂 like you say early in your vlog…it’s my bad weather/wing go to, I’ve been in there in a true wind storm and just sat in the calm watching it blow overhead👌 I saw joey D there a few months back from Haze outdoors channel but got a star struck shy🤣🤣 at 52 as well for gods sake🤣🤣 great area though.
And in response to your question…I just do as I’m told and do anything my better half wants for about a week before I camp ⛺️ 🤣
Off to the lakes on the 24th for 2nights doing wainwrights..so I’m already on my best behaviour 🤣🤣

Great video, thanks Sarah 👍
You’re welcome 😊
Hiya, nice tent, how would you compare it to the helm 1. Besides weight 🙂
Hey 👋🏻 I’d like to do a comparison video tbh as a few folk have asked. The tents feel very different in their design especially as the Xmid uses trekking poles. The tent is much lighter as the fabric is thinner and therefore more packable. The xmid is extremely strong and the features on it seem
More dainty and more refined than the Helm. What I like more about the xmid is the large door opening (I can sit in the doorway without my head touching the roof ) and the different ways the door can be rolled or pegged out to make an awning. The Helm isn’t as versatile. The helm doesn’t have two doors which really gives it a completely different feel. The Helms vestibule at the rear is very useful but only has the ones use of storage, pretty much like the Hilleberg Soulo I have. For me, the xmid replaces my Helm as this is definitely more suited to my needs taking everything into account. It’s also not that much more pricey but the import costs put people off I guess. Hope that’s useful info? ATB, Sarah
That's a lovely pitch Sarah and i love the silver berch it reminds me of a tree we had on our drive at home. Dont sleep 😊
Thanks Las cracking vid.
The tree made that camp! Without it, I wouldn’t have camped right on the edge like that. The way it had fallen down but still anchoring the roots told me that if it was good enough for her it was good enough for me and worth taking the risk. Silver Birch trees are my favourite alongside a nice huge majestic oak 🌳 ATB, Sarah
😊 I'm fairly sure that Mr Durston will be content that one of his offspring (tents) is in such good hands and the new owner is been sensitive to to the new baby's needs.💥😆 Yes,ticks suck😬. Permetherin is really good treatment for all clothing if you're ever entering the land of the Tick! I'm sure it's already on your radar but it's effective. Great film too. 👍🏼🙏🤘
lol 😂thanks for watching, yes, if you hadn’t guessed already, I really love and appreciate my tents as if I’d created them, very much like my human babies 🤭 thank you for the info re tick repellents…I will certainly look at this as preventative measures a much better than the removal and possibly of disease 🙏🏻✨
how many people were thinking get off the edge
😂it actually felt a lot safer than it looked on the end of a selfie stick for you 🎥
@@SoloSarahBX I thought it might be I do stuff like that myself and it can look far worse on video
@@lost_in_TheLakes ha ha. Yes and baring in mind it’s a quarry edge with a slight breeze and not a Scottish snow tipped mountain with gales…I didn’t realise how dangerous it looked until I watched the footage back. It passed my safety checks lol
Well done, another good one.. so relaxing.. had to pause it and go and make a coffee, because you made that one look and sound so good.. Its like when hengist opens his beer and takes a swig , it makes me open a beer.. I can't watch his video's during the day as I end up day drinking... I accidentally baught a 33ltr osprey ( not too bad as I wanted a 40ltr ) but that's what iam going to fit my gear into , this summer.. it's got some outside pockets and pouches, so iam hoping it will not be too bad.. Take care out there.
Thank you for watching! The coffee really did smell that good yesterday morning. Enjoy your new bag…nice to treat yourself 😊 ATB, Sarah
Why do not you use your Hilleberg tent? Is too hot in it or heavy to carry? I am considering to buy one. That is why I am interested to know.
Hi 👋🏻 cut down on weight is the main reason because I do love the Soulo. I have climbed Kinder Scout with full winter bag and the Soulo and managed but without any ultralight kit in testing conditions with not quite tip top fitness it’s hard work. Weighed in at 14.5kg with water. My wishes are to hike more freely without being weighted down with my stuff in warmer conditions this spring and summer, I use walking poles anyway especially on longer hikes so having a shelter that weighs 795g compared to 2.5ish kg helps. The Soulo is not as well ventilated as my Xmid and doesn’t have two doors. The fly also goes down to the ground which is excellent in winter and rain but not so comfy
In summer. As the Xmid is also a fraction of the cost of the Soulo I wanted to give it a go and now that I have it I’ll try it in more testing congratulations. I’ve also been reminded by another subscriber that I will prolong the life of my Hillbrerg by not using it all year round in the sun. On the contrary, I also feel that the Soulo can be pitched anywhere and it has a smaller foodprint that the Xmid so good to hunker down where ever you are even in a bad storm. For many different reasons, she’s still my favourite tent is Hillary 😊
@SoloSarahBX Thank you for your detailed response. So, it is supposed to be at least 2 tents for summer and colder weather. I am trying to start wild camping and gathering information about tents and all other equipment :)
Padley Gorge, taught our border terrier to swim in the stream there a long time ago. Gets rather busy now on sunny days.
Digestin mi dinner, nowt finer.
Beautiful video as usual.
I’m pretty sure it would have been the first easily accessible place I hiked as a child with my dad, brother and grandparents when I was a tot. It’s amazing to wonder free as an adult without any rules 😂
What's the simmering ring please?
Hey 👋🏻 the summer ring can be bought separately from the speedster drive website with the 30 or 50 ml spirit burner (I think) but checked back in a while. Simple piece of aluminium similar to the kind of metal you get in a tea light candle. It’s reduces the size of the flame therefore reduces the heat provided by the burner (sorry if you already know that bit lol 😂)
@@SoloSarahBX thanks very much. No I had no idea 🤣 Spirit burners are new to me 🤣
@@suewheeler5795
Ahhh cool! Yes I used to have gas but wanted to lighten my pack so one of the first things I swapped out was the cooking system. Here’s a link for the set k use. The burners can be bought separately along with different sized windshield and pot stands for what ever you decide to cook, just heating water or cooking a meal. The spirit ring made. Big difference and reduced the heat to a more gentle flame to
