  • This video sees my daughter and I head out for a Wild Camp on Axe Edge Moor in Derbyshire. I parked the car at Flash and we walked to our camping spot via Three Shire Heads where Derbyshire meets Staffordshire and Cheshire. I awoke early to watch the morning light arrive over the Upper Dove Valley and Buxton. On the way back we stopped for a drink at Flash Bar Stores before heading home.

    From an old bloke it's good to see you out with your daughter I loved it with my kids but one day they go there own way but they never forget,memories,,thanks

      +Sophie louise Thanks for watching. My daughter is 15 years old now and hasn't been very interested in going camping with me recently. She has decided to join the Army so it looks like she will be back out with me again and we'll have a summer of adventure to get her fit and ready to join up.

    What a lovely camping trip with you and your daughter. A few hours shared together and a lifetime of remembering. Hope you have many many more.

    Really enjoyable. As my friend and outdoors partner said: It's nice to be out with your daughter and to see she enjoys being outside. The weather treated you well it looked, which gave us something pleasant to gaze upon also Dean. Good to see and hear of the river Dove. I find the source of such places powerful. Cool vid...

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому +1

      I'm hoping to find the time to do a 2 or 3 day walk from the source of the river Dove to where it meets the river Trent, I've done that with the river Derwent but fancy doing it again too. Thanks for watching mate

    • @WyeExplorer
      @WyeExplorer 9 років тому +1

      Pleasure Dean. The high hills and mountains a great but of course have the forests, woods and vales. Look forward to the river walk...we've done a fair few ourselves and they lead us to some pretty cool places. All the best.

    A great video. 👍
    I love Axe Edge Moor, Cheeks Hill and Danebower. Had some great walks around there, winter and summer.
    Can't beat Flash Bar Stores for it's good and drink. 👍
    Meant to comment on the last video, I like the change in the signature tune. Enough to keep the original format while making a pleasant change.

    Hi Dean, been off work ill for the last couple of days and pretty watched all your Peaks videos. Fantastic... Thanks for keeping me sane. On the back pain front. I used to suffer a lot as i do loads of cycling on a road bike. I can confirm that yoga help me beyond belief. As you like the great outdoors i think you will also like the non physical side of yoga as well.

    Catching up on your vids after being on the road for a bit. As the father of two daughters, it was great to see you and Amy out in the Peaks together. Don't worry, another switch goes off about age 25 and they revert to "normal." Enjoy the next 12 years!

    • @DeanRead

    The head torch, when using flash in photography we use the inverse square law that for every metre away it becomes a quarter power, so pretty much doubt that in daylight anybody would see it at a distance.

    It always amazes me that the highest village in the UK is on our doorstep lol! you positioned yourself perfectly for a panoramic sweep Dean, really interesting location, you know your way around mate, I'm planning a camp next to the winking man at some point, not too far from there. Good to see your daughter out enjoying it as well mate, lovely timelapse :) Tim

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому

      Thanks for watching Tim, really loved your Chrome Hill video. The aerial footage was stunning and the weather looked amazing. I spent most of my night on this trip looking down at Chrome etc, I fancy a bivvy up there this summer perhaps. My daughter really enjoyed this outing, she isn't a fan of big hills with a bag on her back so it was a good compromise. Thanks for watching mate

    Have your thought of doing some fly fishing (catch, keep, eat) during your adventures? I can see myself now riding the adv bike to the wilderness, pitching a tent, casting a fly, and eating some fish while watching the sun set.

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому

    Good video Dean, enjoyed watching. I too am suffering from lower back pain, as of last few years. Only when camping though, normal beds are fine. Let me know if you've found a solution! I wake after a few hours now when camping which takes the shine off to a degree.

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому

      +MCM Outdoor Show Hi mate, thanks for watching. thankfully I managed to find a solution to my back pain. I tried visiting a Chiropractor but that didn't really do anything. I gave Yoga a try, I found a few good videos that are targeted specifically at relieving back pain and after just one session I was 100 times better. I do Yoga a few times a week now and I feel like a new man afterwards :-)

  • @veganlayabout6859

    Brill video Dean, I stayed in exactly the same point just last weekend, just missed you by a few days it seems!

    Have you any plans regarding walking in the Lake District this year?

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому

      Thanks for watching Andy, it's great to be back out walking in the Peaks again after Asia trip.... Not so great being back at work but I guess it's rough with the smooth. No concrete plans as yet to head up to the Lakes but once no doubt I'll be up at some point, I'm pretty much booked up at the minute for the next few months with fun stuff but hopefully I'll have a 4 day window to get up and tick off some more wainwright perhaps June time

    The factory as you call it used to be the RAF station at Harpur Hill during the WWII and the amunition tunnels were then used for growing mushrooms. It is now mainly the H&S executive explosion test area. They did lots of work there following the London tube fire.

    The highest village in Britain is Wanlockhead, at 1532 feet, Flash is a close second at 1519 feet. But Flash is close to Flash Bottom, so Flash wins out in fairly rude names !

    Hi mate just wondering how you went about wild camping here. Was hoping to camp there soon, will go towards the end of the day and leave at 5am. Will this be allowed do you presume? This’ll be my first time wild camping so I’m not sure on the laws n such:) Got a 2 man tent and will go with a friend. Got absolutely no intention on having a fire or drinks purely for stargazing and mountain biking unlike most people my age haha. Thanks for any advice.

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  2 роки тому

      Hi Jamo. As you probably know wild camping isn't strictly allowed in most parts England. I've never had any issues myself. I always camp out of site of roads and buildings, I try and be as stealth as possible. I always follow the leave not trace principles and never leave any signs that i've been there when I pack away. Have fun 👍😎

    Pain in your lower back could be your kidneys. I like to sleep in a cold room at night and would sometimes wake up with lower back pain. I spoke to someone and they said it was my kidneys getting a chill. I don't know how much truth there was in that though.

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  9 років тому

      I only really get the pain after laying down, it goes when I get up and stretch after 10-15 mins or so. I'm going to start doing some Yoga again and see if that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting, I'll keep that in mind too
