- Ohhhhh that’s better! A fantastic long awaited and much loved wild camp. First of many this year. A very busy area to camp on a weekend but nestled amongst the heather and rocks I found a comfortable sheltered spot high up on the moorland within the Peak District. A failed sleep mat was made better with steak and 2 veg cooked in my tent. A beautiful sunset, rainbow and a sprinkling of snow ❄️ Happy New year to you all, much love, Sarah
⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️I always acknowledge your comments when I can, I reply when I can. Currently working night shifts so grabbing some rest between them . Your comments and views are important to me ( or I wouldn’t be here 😉) as with the students that I work with I like to give a meaningful reply when I can concentrate, usually at home in the peace and quiet, thank you for your patience, ATB to loyal subscribers, new ones and passers by, Sarah 😊⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️
I think most of us understand this, your track 👣 record speaks for itself.😊
what work do you do?

@@SoloSarahBX good for you, lots of little ankle biters

He is the official Mr Rab 😂 having the factory shop so close to me is pure gold, husband and I are regular attendees 🙌🏻
What an enjoyable way to spend 45 minutes, thank you!
Ahhh that’s great! Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching, ATB, Sarah
7:35 Love it 😂 not finished the vid yet but had to drop a comment after hearing that.
Liam, just stay in yer ouse 😂😂😂 thank you for your awesome content and personality, most of all for putting yourself out there and taking us with you. You have become one of my favourite campers Liam. I always look forward to your posts and vids, you don’t half know how to cheer an old lass up like me 😂⛺️BW, Sarah
Patrick Dickinson sent me over:) I'm looking forward to watching some of your videos over the forthcoming year, The peak district is a lovely place, exposed and cold in the Winter but your tent will keep you sheltered from the elements.
All the best
Sandy
Ey Up Sandy 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by, I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos in the past, you have inspired me along with many other great camping folk out there, THANK YOU 🙏🏻 I’ll see you on the next one, looking forward to next camp. Mr P. Dickinson sure has kept me entertained over the years and continues to bring me great joy as do you. BW, Sarah
I heard about your camping videos so tuned into this one. I was not disappointed. You are as mad as a box of frogs, but in a delightful way. I shall be watching again. Cheers now.
Hello Stan 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by. I’m really glad that you did and that you have enjoyed my video, as you can tell I love the Peak District and enjoy taking ‘UA-cam’ for a trip out with me, heaven knows what treats will come my way. With my positive mind set and surroundings I get giddy 😊 proof that you can be a big kid at 40, Best wishes
Hi Sarah, I'm new to your vlogs. I was watching Patrick Dickinson yesterday and he gave you a mention, so I thought I would take a look. I really enjoyed watching, you are so refreshing and make the wild camping exciting and fun x
Hiya Allison , what lovely comments to read after a long day on shift today. This community is so full of richness and support, that’s really important when you choose to camp and make your experiences public. I’m really looking forward to my next camp, what a great man Pat is ✨⛺️✨
Here from Pat's video. Glad to have found you! Loved the vid 🤘
Well, that was a nice treat, seeing a new Sarah vid pop up in my feed! 😁
Really enjoyable, as always.
If you can sleep that soundly, on a busted mat, I reckon that shows how well the rest of your kit is dialled in.
Thanks for sharing the views and the chatter... Keep em coming 👍👍
Likewise! Seeing your comment is always a treat to read after being inspired by you before I jumped into it all. I must have been really tired from life to have slept that well on the floor, I did look at that mat as an element of luxury though so I am gutted. Currently researching light weight high R value mid price range mats to replace so I can get out again ASAP 😂might have to start a wild camp insurance kitty. Glad you enjoyed this vid. Warmest wishes, Sarah
Really enjoying your channel.lovely video.passing on the information about the kiddywhizz to my daughter as she doesn't get on with the shewee.cheers for your hard work.
Hey 👋🏻 that’s awesome 🙌🏻 they are quite expensive bout £20 but I think when something like that changes the campers comfort it’s absolutely worth it. I’m glad that you’re enjoying what I’m publishing. I’m havin’ a right nice time 😂 ATB, Sarah
I like to watch your video . A very interesting hike.
Fab! I’m glad you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them. Thank you, BW, Sarah
I can totally relate with you, similar circumstances and for me a recent new found love for outdoors and camping. Thanks for any video you share
New experiences are just fantastic, I’m taking it all in, the simple act of setting up home in the countryside is pure joy to me. I’m glad that you’re out there too! BW, Sarah
Good to see you out again. I travelled from the SE to the Cairngorms before Christmas and spent 2 nights there. My poor Soulo had a good beating from the wind and I didn’t sleep much but the tent was fine thankfully. I do a lot of DofE and my poor partner gets left behind with my 3 year old but it’s like I need to get away to recharge my batteries. Shame I live so far away from the mountains! Thanks for sharing your trip and sorry about your mat. I have a sea to summit comfort plus insulated mat and it’s worked for me.
Thank you for sharing the mat as I am currently on the hunt for a new one, I will make contact with Rab to see what they can do for me aswell. I’ve enjoyed seeing your adventures over on Insta. When you live so far away you must make the most that time in the hills, it’s really special is t it? I hope that you manage another outing soon Ben 😊ATB, Sarah
Lovely video as always Sarah, starting 2024 on a high, not surprised your channel is growing luke it is, there's someone unique and very personal about it. Make viewers feel like we are your friends there with you in person listening to your little chats. Atb, George
Hiya George! Thank you again for your warm comments on all of my videos. It is a really special thing. Human connection in a solo camping world. I find it really enriching, that very idea of ‘the best friends I’ll never meet’ as somebody once put it. I’ll see you on the next one, you can count on me to share more adventures. Find something you love and do it more. ATB, Sarah
Thanks
Wow! Thank you so much for your gift, that’s really kind and much appreciated. It will go towards the cost of my new microphone 😊warm wishes, Sarah
Coming to you from Pats Channel, and Well! Your videos are Absolutely Wonderful! New Fan an follower here. Keep up the great work! I can see your channel is gonna grow very fast very soon..
Really glad you're inspirational channel is doing so well Sarah, another really enjoyable video. Thank you chuck!
Ahhh hey Phil 👋🏻thank you for that lovely comment, the channel is just a consequence of a woman who adores the Peak District and being alive…the simple things in life really wake up my senses and comfort me. You could call it, therapy, a healing experience for this crazy world we live in. I know you’ll get that 🥾 warmest wishes, Sarah
Hi Sarah, your words "it's about bloody time😂", seems like weeks and weeks since we last saw you on our screens. When we sit and listen to you and listen to what you have to say we'd never think you were shy, and I have a sneaky suspicion that the lasses you work with wouldn't call you shy either. You mentioned fell running, not many fells in Slough where I grew up, so I had to run round the trading estate. Years of pounding the tarmac left me with jagger's knee or chondromalacia patella if you are a medical person. Shoes are so much better now so I hope you don't end up with that ailment. Did you just say pretzel head torch. Good to hear you addressing the problem of weeing, body stuff tends not to get mentioned too much for one reason or another. Karen (think I've mentioned her to you before) does so hats off to her to. Us blokes with pointers can use a 750ml bottle. As another UA-camr said "if I offer you a drink from the blue bottle I probably don't like you very much"😂😂. Lovely to wake up (eventually) to a tad of snow, it's now 8 January and we have warnings of heavy snow, be great to see you adventuring in those conditions. Keep up the chit-chat, my withdrawal symptoms have been cured temporarily.
Cheers Graham
“Pointers” that did make me chuckle lol
Ha ha! Hi Graham, I’m glad that I could check in with you again and this great community, trust me, I’d missed it. My camp was truly wonderful and very much deserved after enduring another Christmas of duty away from my family.
I am lucky to have a variety of road and trail to enjoy my running, the trails are my preferred terrain for the building of strength, stamina, mental agility and views. I enjoy how sharp I have to be, always thinking 20 steps in front to pick out a path. Road running is time to not think too much practically but more gain fitness and speed. I’m getting better. I don’t half loose my fitness when I stop running, although this time I have sprung back much easier after running for 40 days in the build up to my 40th year around the sun, I thank the hiking and carrying if my backpack for that.

Hello Sarah. New subscriber here from the Unites States. I really enjoyed your video. I was watching Patrick Dickinson and he mentioned you so I thought I would check you out. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Be safe and enjoy the views when you can.
Hello 👋🏻 great to have you here! I was sat at home with a nice cup of tea when his video notification popped up on my phone. Like the rest of the world I clicked play immediately. To find that he was camping at his usual moorland place brought me great joy as I knew there would be another entry in the log book. I’ve been up there today with my dad for a cuppa. Time well spent, ATB, Sarah
Well done 🎉..looking at the hilleberg soulo a while currently using an msr ...great video keep them coming .love from ireland ...😊
I love the look of the MSR tents, I am really enjoying my Soulo. It’s the best tent I’ve owned, I have also been spying the Big International tents they look great and light weight for their strength 😊 I just love tents and what they do for us in protecting from the elements when we are out, the enablers! ATB, Sarah
It's about bloody time, Sarah! We missed you. It's good to see your umpalumpa face again. Did you have a nice Christmas?
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for checking in 😊 it was a worky Christmas but I did steal some amazing cherished family time inbetween duties and made the most of it. I hope that you and yours had a nice one and a happy new year to you ✨Sarah
Really enjoyable video Sarah. Thank you for taking us on your adventure. Well done and Stay Safe.
Thank you John. My camps are full of preparation and safety checks. I feel safest alone and in the less popular spots. I find peace out there, with and without the camera rolling 😊 ATB, Sarah
Brilliant and Happy New Year Sarah. Incredible scenery as always and Real Personality in wild conditions , look forward to next wild trek
What an awesome comment to read thank you, the scenery really does make my heart beat faster. Can’t beat pure appreciation and love for the natural world. Makes me very happy. Thanks for watching, BW, Sarah
It makes it all worthwhile to brave the elements and temperatures when you can camp in locations like that.... really appreciate the effort you put in to create your content & share your adventures with us.
That location has been a lifetime favourite, I almost feel honoured to stay the night, like it’s a gift. I really enjoy making the videos, I do spend a lot of time off my phone when I’m out there enjoying the experience without an audience, you only see a snippet of my experience but I hope that I choose the best bits to put across how much I love it. ATB, Sarah
I Need to motivate myself this Year & Get Out doing more Wild Camps @@SoloSarahBX 😥
@@Delgrey there is no fine motivator but it’s certainly not an easy hobby, one which takes effort and energy, I hope you manage a camp soon 😊
What a lovely film and it’s so nice to meet you. I think I smiled from start to finish and you sharing your thoughts and musings was delightful. There is almost a luminous quality to the photography and you seem to have the same light about you. So I’ve subscribed as just watching my favourite fellas wildcamping can get tedious. Thank you for the time and effort you put into the filming and editing so make such a lovely video to watch. All the best.
What a lovely comment to read, thank you so much for taking the time to write it. As I watch my video back before I hit the publish button on here I often find myself smiling at my self because I can re-live that camp and enjoy it all again. I do have a lot of forage I cut out. I think almost 3 hours 😂 I hope that my videos continue to make you smile in 2024, ATB, Sarah
Happy new Year, may be a bit late, loved the video. Lovely to see the Peak district, with some fairly decent weather. I did my BEL in the Peaks and it rained for the 3 days so the the bogs were lovely fun whilst battling the rain and wind. Great see, you young ladies getting out and injoying the wild side of life, oh by the way the steak looked lovely . Good on you 👍🍾
Happy New year to you too! It’s a magnet for rain isn’t it? Especially at this time of year, when partnered with the cold it sure can feel bleak…when the sun comes out it just glows! I’m glad that It delivered some varied weather on my camp as for today it is overcast and quite still. I guess that can be beautiful though. The steak was delicious, I have stopped buying the rehydrated meals for these overnight camps, extra weight = extra taste ha ha! Best wishes, Sarah
Looks like a heavy bag indeed... Great to be out.... Happy New Year
I reckon it’s about 10-12 kg all in, probably not that heavy just bulky. I’m getting fitter and dialling in my kit nicely for winter. I hope to cut down on weight considerably for summer camping…both my pack weight and body weight! It’s going well so far 🙌🏻ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I hate to think what my pack weighed when I went out last, summer will be considerably lighter. I'm thinking the same if I can shed a few kgs I can carry better food and wine!
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much for your gift, that’s really kind and much appreciated. It will go towards the cost of my new microphone 😊warm wishes, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX ❤️🎙️🎙️🎙️
I love these videos, I imagine my wife doing these and she's so nesh she'd need a team of Sherpas to haul up the duvets and heaters to keep her warm. Also, I'm going to mention the kiddiewhiz to her 😊
It’s amazing though, some of these locations are easy access and not a big hike, but a camp does take lots of effort in the planning setting up and keeping myself warm fed and safe, I like the challenge of all that though and I escape the responsibilities of washing pots and other chores at home 😂 Infact I escape everything! We should all enjoy time for ourselves. The hand warmer heaters are so comforting when it’s freezing and the tent is considerably warmer than the elements outside. The KiddieWhizzer is a simple piece of kit that has made camp more enjoyable rather than getting cold, wet and therefore vulnerable outside my tent when I need to pee! Can’t recommend enough, please tell her than it glows in the dark 😂BW, Sarah
Just found you via Patrick. Great stuff,very enjoyable, have subscribed.
Hello 👋🏻 great to have you here! I was sat at home with a nice cup of tea when his video notification popped up on my phone. Like the rest of the world I clicked play immediately.

Just found you on here
Patrick dickison mentioned you so I will subscribe 😊
Fabulous video. Really enjoyed it. I have subscribed to you. Awesome 👌
That’s great John thank you ☺️, BW, Sarah
thankyou sara , very enjoyable . you are one of the top ambassadors of the peak district. charming,,
What an ABSOLUTE HONOUR to be named an ambassador of the Peak District. I love the place and still so much to still explore. I’ll spend my life seeking out all of it 🙏🏻BW, Sarah
I was watching Patrick Dickinson video and yours popped up must have watched all your vids in two days 😂😂 luv it cheers Sarah great videos and channel
That’s made my day! Any follower of Pat’s is a friend of mine, he’s a great man and as you can see from my videos he’s a great inspiration to me, upmost respect ⛺️ I’ll be seeing you on the next one then! ATB, Sarah
I love your little adventures. ❤
Thank you for joining my camp ⛺️ 🙏🏻BW, Sarah
Happy New year Sarah! Great to see you back out. Loving your video's, could listen to you chat on all day! ATB ❤
Ey up 😊 that’s a lovely comment to read, thanks. Let’s be honest, it’s a good job lol, can you imagine the amount of footage I get to edit to squeeze into a video that isn’t too long! 😅BW, Sarah
Your video popped up on my feed great vid now subscribed
Hey 👋🏻 that’s great! Thank you for the sun and for watching it’s much appreciated as always. I really enjoyed this camp, I don’t think I ever have a bad one tbh! Warmest wishes, Sarah
Hi Sarah, stumbled across your video today, and you are just lovely, down to earth and a breath of fresh air. I’ll be subscribing, thanks for the videos x
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by, I think UA-cam have started recommending my videos which is great if your into this camping lark 🙌🏻 ATB, Sarah
Great to see you out in 2024 Sarah, great vid loved it.. Happy New year. Love your style.... U nailed it. Brill 🙂👍
Ahhh Twiggy! I have been thinking only today about how long ago it was since you too were out enjoying the cold 🥶 I’m sure you have been very busy with work and your new puppy 🐶 missing your videos so I hope you manage a camp soon. Nothing quite like A Pat video to keep us inspired to get out. ATB Mr log book enabler 🙌🏻😂🤩⛺️✨
@@SoloSarahBX Thanks Sarah I've missed it I've had a rough time with being ill, but I'll be back out this weekend... Really love your success. Awesome stuff 😍
Awesome, great video as always Sara. Very soothing 👍👍👍
Thank you!! 😊
Happy New Year Sarah 🥳 Lovely hike and camping spot and such beautiful sunset and rainbow in the sky. Solo hiking and camping without others around is special. You find your spot and just enjoy those beautiful moments. Have a wonderful week and look forward to the next adventure my friend 🤠🌲🍃
Hey 👋🏻 yes, if I didn’t choose to record my antics I’d sure have some awesome memories of just sitting in silence with my Thoughts and a hot drink taking it all in. I do this mostly, the video is a short snippet (albeit 47 minutes long) of a truly wonderful camp. On this occasion I felt that I was in the right place, at the right time to enjoy my day off work in solitude. ✨MAGIC ✨ATB, Sarah
Thank you for sharing your adventure. And you are very lucky with the weather. The skies were amazing and beautiful.
I think little Hilary blends in well with her rock friends 😂 such brilliant place to camp 🏕
Rock friends are the best. Hardly heard a peep all night! Thanks for watching Sally, ATB, Sarah
Seeing you looking over the edge after your camp reminded me of a photography workshop several years ago where we photographed a model in a wedding dress on nearly the same spot. The wind was about the same but it was in summer. Enjoying your videos 👍
Hey 👋🏻 I’m glad that it brought back that memory for you. I often see couples out in the Peak District having a special moment in time photographed. It’s a very popular spot, I must have seen 20 people stop for a photograph on that edge, even the fell runners stopped their flow to take a look ☺️luckily everyone too busy enjoying themselves to spot me up over the rocks on top. BW, Sarah
Another cracking video, good health and safe travels, cheers craig
Thank you for watching today ☺️it’s much appreciated Craig, ATB, Sarah
Another great video ❤
Great! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, I had a very well deserved magic camp ⛺️ BW, Sarah
Yes Sarah nice ❤❤❤❤
Medjool dates with nut butter in the middle of them is lush 😍
Absolutely bangin’ mate! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Excellent video enjoyed watching your content,
Your gear Kit is top notch 👌
Keep up the lovely work ❤️🫡
Hey 👋🏻 I really do enjoy gathering the kit when I can afford a treat. Thanks for watching 😊Sarah
Great trip... and video - and thank you for sharing... Hardly surprising your chanel is growing so well.. 👍 PS. It's about feeling amazing and regardless of aging feeling great on a camp rarely changes.... 😉😊
What a heartwarming comment to read, thank you. I hope to keep loving this into my later years and climb mountains doing it. Let’s great that adventure whilst we still can and may it continue to give us endless joy ✨⛺️✨ ATB, Sarah
Sure that rucksacks big as a transit van😮. Bestest wishes to family and S'rah😊
Did you realise it’s only 50 litres? 😅I have a habit of making the most of everything 🤩
First time viewer here but I really enjoyed this little adventure. I'm looking forward to getting out a lot this year. Here's to 2024!
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by and I hope that you feel the joy in getting out as much as I do. Everyone deserves such joy 🍀
@@SoloSarahBX Absolutely, nothing better than enjoying a roasting hot cup of tea on a mountain looking over the Scottish highlands.
... Very nice Sarah ,, Happy New Year , look forward to the 2024 adventures ... Wow !! With a monster meal like that it's no wonder the body went in to hibernation ... A similar morning here in mid USA ,, getting into the morning with a snow storm .. cold and more snow through the week ... Love the still shots at the end ,, what a beautiful morning sunrise ... Good to hear you accomplished a wee task with the pee bottle ,, some nights it can make a rewarding difference .... After enough practice with the she wee or other brand ,, you will brag on being able to write your name in the snow ...lol.. .... Stay Safe ....
Ha ha ha! Excellent 👌🏻 I spend my days avoiding yellow snow not making it! 😂 (4 boy dogs at home) I saved the other steak for lunch it was amazing cold! As for the camp food, really enjoyable to cook it as well as eat a hit meal ahead of a very cold night with no soft bed! ATB, Sarah
Great video x
Hey 👋🏻 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, BW, Sarah
That meal looked gorgeous! I went to Lidl's aisle of dreams yesterday and bought a vacuum sealer so I can up my camping cooking game in 2024 😁
Ohhhhh great! Might have to see what treasure they have. That’s the first that keeps on giving in that’s shop 😂🙌🏻
Sounds like you have a very cool hike - nice video! ⛺
Have a good 2024 year 🙂
Happy new year! 🥳 it was a very short hike from the car to camp. Sometimes I just need that to fit in a night out in the hills, it feels very remote with the very nature of the landscape, until of course I see folk on the path 😂 it’s definitely a great stealth camp up there nestled in amongst the rocks, BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBXTotally agree sometimes need connection with nature, I also like sleeping and cooking out in the mountains for me it's like therapy. See you in nature 😊⛺
You got snowed on!! You need to be careful with that Whizzer thing. At one point I thought you were going to take a gulp off it. Perish the thought. Great to see you back out and being 'on it'. Hope to be out myself this coming weekend for some time in my Panacea 2 and the full winter kit.
Hey Andy, have a great camp. Thanks for stopping by to listen to my unforgiving chat lol. I need a days peace just to get over that 😂 as for the Whizzer thing. No urine was consumed during the making of this video. BW, Sarah
Been ill for a solid 3 weeks and got out first time for a walk in Sherwood Forest with my wife on Saturday. Your video is the first on Wild Camping I have watched! Cheered me right up Sarah. Got the itch although I think I have another month before I will be wild camping. Lovely sunset and great dialogue. Keep em coming!
Hey 👋🏻 great to see your comment MR N. It was also lovely to see your wife in your previous video, she’s a braver woman than my fella 😂 I don’t think he’ll ever appear in my videos! I do hope that your feeling much healthier soon and that your back out enjoying that crisp air with some great scenery. Sometimes we must make the most of what we CAN do, life can chuck us some challenges sometimes eh? ATB for 2024. Warm wishes to you and your family, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Cheers Sarah and warm wishes from me and my wife for 2024. Lets hope they are full of success. Mind you my wife is not keen being on video, she is rather shy, like myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure and rather shy like myself too 😂 I am certainly an introverted extrovert 🤩 a woman of contrast as I am sure we all are when in and out of one’s comfort zones 😊
so thats whats at the end of a rainbow........coooool
I found the treasure! 🍀
Hi I love your UA-cam channel I just bought myself a Motorola defy I do a lot of mountain biking and walking cheers from Rob in the Isle of Man Happy New Year have a good 2024
Hey 👋🏻 it’s a great piece of kit for what I do. I’m nut usually that remote to nut get intouch with my fam but if I am it’s great peace of mind for us…ATB, Sarah
Oooh I'll have to look up the Kiddiewiz as been trying to find something that means I don't have to pop out of my tent when it's so cold... Great video, nice surprise to wake up in snow the next morning!
Nothing makes me happier than helping another female camper with a personal admin challenge 😂 let’s face it, it’s not that hard to unzip the tent and walk out the way of camp to use the Heather facilities but goodness me when we have our down hear on, several layers, it’s pitch black, it’s raining or/and freezing cold that last thing we want to be doing is getting half naked out there. It’s a revelation. Small things 😊 ATB, Sarah
Nice to see thee out and about lass, another good un. Still need to bob out and try and find that Ringinglow spot (or Dickinson/Messner/SoloSarahB/TwiggyEscapes
spot as I see it!)
You must! I did read the log book recently as I took myself up there for a run one day when I was feeling out of sorts. Some miserable soul had written an anonymous comment with an angry face about their discontent re giving away these secret spots. It made me sad momentarily then realised that there are some people in this world that will do things like that to try and ruin the joy for others. This person must have watched one of the UA-cam videos to know that there was a log book there in the first place 😂 never mind. I’ve recently found another camp spot around that area that will be keeping to myself unfortunately to avoid the same (what feels like conflict) ✨best wishes Mr Jiggs ⛺️
I'm new to your videos, love watching them and I love your accent 😍
Hiya 👋🏻 thank you for watching . I really enjoy making them as you can see! BW, Sarah
Nice one Sarah
Steak looked awesome.
I am trying to get motivated to pack for a camp tom night.
But having a can’t be motivated moment 🤦♂️
Atb Graham
You can do it! I only go when I really feel it. I am very much lead by my mood. I hope you find the mojo soon! ATB, Sarah
Hi great video, I've recently subscribed to your channel and caught up with all your videos. I can normally be found solo hiking and wild camping in the Welsh mountains but as I live in Staffordshire I've decided 2024 is going to be Peak District year 😂. Although I did Mam Tor and the Great Ridge in Nov and was amazed how busy it was 😮. I can spend days in Wales and not see anyone only goats and sheep😂. Look forward to your next video. Take care
Hey! This is why I am a frequent visitor to Kinder Scout, especially on the northern edge on a weekday! Ha ha. I find the The Great Ridge beautiful especially when it’s pouring it down and all the people have gone home. Some parts of the Peaks are extremely busy so choosing camp spots has to be given a great deal of thought if I want solitude. I really love running up Mam Tor and along the ridge on a cold crisp evening (when at my fittest May I add) and running back in the dark, it’s less busy then. Wales is stunning, and I have spent some time in The Mannifold valley in recent years, is that the Staffordshire boarder? I hope to travel further afield in the future to immerse myself amongst the big dudes ⛰️ but I am fine tuning my fitness and camping skills before I dive into that challenge. ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX yes Manifold is north Staffs. I've been using yours and Paul Mesners videos to scope out some routes and camping spots and hoping to spend a week up there hiking around, towards end of this month so keep the vids coming 😂
@@Happyhiker58 that sounds fantastic! Have a great week. BW, Sarah
I’ll watch this soon! 😂
Enjoy my friend 🙏🏻
Finally got a chance to catch up with your latest adventure. Lovely video Sarah and nice to see Hillary out again. Pants about your sleeping pad. I've had all sorts of trouble with my Nemo Tensor Insulated, mostly with the baffles either leaking or blowing. So annoying! I had to keep sending it back, but got a refund in the end. You'll get it sorted.
Din dins looked fab! You can't beat a good steak with a camp. 😋
Ahhh what a nightmare with your pad. I was hopeful for you. The Nemo has an impressive Rvalue, maybe they’re just trying too hard either all this ultralight ultra warm stuff eh? In the end my foil mat sufficed. I am in the hunt for another mat before my next camp and I’ll reach out to Rab. I’ll keep you posted on that. It was a great camp, kept it simple, even the cooking was easy. I’m fine tuning my camp admin skills 😂 what a great hobby this is. Hole to see you out on your next adventure soon. BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Ah no, the new super warm one is still going, although I've not had chance to take it out again yet. I was referring to the stupid old one I had that kept being horrible to me. I can imagine RAB will be good to you and get you sorted out. These light weight pads do seem a bit fragile.
I'm off to the Lakes on Thursday for a couple of nights. Cave camping on night one and then hopefully a summit camp on Helvellyn. Can't wait. We'll see how the new super duper warm Tensor gets on there.
Look forward to seeing your next adventure Sarah. Hope you've had a fab start to the new year.
@@trickofthetrail ohh!! I’m glad to hear it’s not the ‘Kinder Snow camp mat’ that’s failed 🙏🏻 I love that pad. I’ve decided to go with he short Big Agnes SL pad as it has the same R value and is similar weight. Read a lot of long term reviews about it too so fingers crossed 🤞 enjoy the camps. I am 💯 Gerri into the Lakes again this year ⛰️🥾BW, Sarah
...and I know I've said before the Berlingo is the best car ever! I've had mine ten years now and its about to get a full course of TLC to make it last a few more years! ..also most people think they aren't cool so we're always safe in the knowledge that most car thieves wouldn't pinch them as they would'nt be seen dead in them! :D...but we know better dont we! :)
This is absolutely the reason why I drive it. I inherited it also from grandparents so it’s kinda special in its own way. I know folk get anxious about leaving their motors for a camp but I kinda feel ok about it and never leave fuel in it so they wouldn’t get far 🚙
@@SoloSarahBX Aw thats nice! Not many cars tha can move house with (inc putting a sofa in), camp in and even sleep in! A (now ex ) friend said to me on first seeing the Berlingo.......'You used to be cool james'...what a git! I used to have a cool classic mini and got rid to buy one of these! literally the cutest car but also utterly useless.
Hi Sarah we understand one a week is demanding but what about a 2 /3/4/5 hour video....Never get bored such a great watch...Thanks
Maybe who knows? I like to go with the flow of the camp itself, I dare say there may be some longer videos to come ☺️ ATB, Sarah
Nice video beautiful lady
Thank you 😊
Great video Sarah, & a beautiful area. It’s close to my home too but never camped on that side (I have Ox Stones) as it’s always busy with walkers. You did very well hiding! 😂 the soulo is a great colour for that though.
Need to get myself out soon for the camping ‘therapy’
What’s the plans for the Mat? If you take it back to them at Alfreton they will probably replace it. I can recommend the thermorest xtherm, which you will already know about this mat.
Just subscribed to you, take care & stay safe
Dave
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching Dave. Ox stones is beautiful but it looks awful with the old heather burning marks at the moment. Lady cannings is also a very busy spot with walkers and bikers so I’m
Always on the hunt for peace quiet. I’ve contacted Rab l, didn’t think the factory store would take it off my hands but could be worth a try? I’ve gone with the Big Agnes SL…I’ll update soon on that 😊ATB, Sarah
This is the stuff to give the troops in a cold new year Sarah.Like a huge bowl of rice pudding with the skin on.Smashing!
You don't need these fancy sleeping mats.You really don't. After an in-depth study of the sleeping habits of horses I vowed to train myself to sleep standing upright. However,this was not without difficulties. Our father, pissed off with the nightly clatter of his son and heir crashing to the floor at 3am, put paid to my early endeavours.But we adapt and overcome.And I did.
Of course this sleep system, which I have patented btw, precludes the employment of a tent but I find that a golfing umbrella and a set of fisherman's oilskins service my requirements. I appreciate that my approach to wildcamping is not for everyone,particularly the faint-hearted.Once committed, you must hold your nerve.
Good luck with your efforts the shed a few pounds. I highly recommend the lettuce & dog biscuit diet. I myself weighed in at a hefty fourteen and a half stones but after much perseverance I now have an IQ of 38. Happy new year Sarah and thanks for the film.
Oh I always look forward to reading a comment from you 😂😂😂 happy new year and the warmest wishes, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Why, thank you kindly Ma'am.
So glad to see out camping 🏕️ I’m going to grab a cup of tea 🫖 and watch thank Sarah 🙏💙🇺🇸
Hope you enjoyed the show Thomas…ATB from the countryside in the UK 🇬🇧 Sarah

Happy new year Sarah love the video btw
Happy New Year to you too and thanks for watching me gabble on. It’s a sign that I’m happy when I talk. The outdoors just awakens my senses and I just can’t stop talking about my experiences 😂BW, Sarah

✨⛺️✨🎥
Just randomly found your channel and recognised you, i think we kind of grew up together.
Mate, you are bang on the money 😂 I’m so sorry I can’t remember you though! That’s got to be 30 years ago so please forgive me! Small world! I’ve subbed you, who’d av think it eh? Both out int‘ hills camping in the clag 🙌🏻ATB …ps can you edit your comment as it’s quite specific to my family 👍🏻
@@SoloSarahBX haha thought it was you 😂 no worries at all, edited the comment! Yeah years back, i moved off Lowedges years ago but your vid popped up and i was like 'no way' 😂, I dont think i get out as often as you, currently 'training' for the coast to coast in April, hoping to do more this year. Thanks for the sub ❤️👌
@@Danny37Outdoors I think den building and smoking paper, playing in the stream were our best times up there 😂 thanks Danny ✨looking forward to seeing more of your vids ATB mate, Sarah
Crackin video Sarah. Love the pee-bottle😂 Off camping next week too Glencoe so i will defo have mine with me too. Poor show with the mat. For the money you pay you would expect better. Keep up the good work❤
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for watching! Have a great time ⛺️ with these colder winter nights these bottles sure are a God send. It’s a revelation for me! ATB, Stay safe and carry on camping, Sarah
Brilliant video Sarah 👌👍
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for watching and taking the time to write that for me. It brings me great joy to know that people like to watch me twittering on in my tent, always amazed by my surroundings like I’ve never seen it before 😂 ATB, Sarah
The army destroyed my love for jogging. Now I will get there when I get there 😂
I understand that very much! I am glad it’s didn’t destroy my love for it! BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX it’s a good job I’m a good boy because I would refuse to run even for the police 🫣.
You should buy a camouflage tent. Get dropped off & picked up too. Give the back of the mind a bit of peace. Seasonal reversible print tents are a thing. We nowadays love the moors, especially when the heather is in bloom, though our Celtic ancestors regarded the moorland as limbo land. The last place they would want to be at night. They were terrified of dying there too. The bog bodies that've been discovered were the utterly deposed & despised. Being pegged down in the morass as an eternal punishment. Unable to decay, unable to proceed to their next incarnation. An eternal prison for ghosts & goblins. I try not to be superstitious but you know, just in case. If camping out I'd be a fair ways down the clough off the moss.
Wild glamp golden dragon Patrick Dickinson slept under a Rowan; on the moors. Came away unscathed, but I still wouldn't do it.
I love all the moorland stories/legends, history, even the darkest stuff, you’d think that would scare me off, it’s the folk that are alive I’m more bothered about ha ha!
👍

Old micrafone was wore out can only take so much.happy New Year
It got tired of my twittering and thought SOD THAT I’m out 😂
Reyt enjoyed this on the big telly last night. Good to see you out on t'moors again. See you got a bindi too❤, great torch.
Happy New year - may it be full to the brim with 🌈🌅⛰️🏕️.
Reyt good 😊 thanks for watching Sam. Santa was really kind this year! Some lovely practical gifts, I’m very lucky. Happy new year to you ✨BW, Sarah
Love your videos. Thanks 😊 Is there a chance you are tightening your lovely Hillary’s guy lines a wee bit too much?
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching. I don’t feel that the lines are too tight, she told me that I do it just right, in fact I got 10/10 last camp 😂
Seriously though, i always pitch like that and havnt had any issues with It yet. I pitch for bad weather conditions even if there s slight breeze. Seems sound. ATB, Sarah
Is that easier than the shee wee? I too have had numerous issues with said implement! 🙈🤣
Honest, when I used the she wee I peed all over myself! Using this is so easy, that funnel makes a good seal 😂 it was full by morning and I was as dry as a newborn in pampers 😂
@@SoloSarahBX 🤣🤣🤣 I hear ya! Someone told me to practice in the shower but it didn't help! 🤣🤣 Whizzer en route! 🙈🤣🤞
@@suewheeler5795 absolutely fantastic. Once you perfect the shower. Try it kneeling in the tent with one leg out of your leggings 😂ninja skills
@@SoloSarahBX it's arrived! 😳🤣
Christ I spend more time peeing in the shower than anything at the moment 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️ x
I've always hated she wees lol prefer a bush 😂. That sunset was something else. Could sit for hrs watching that. Great to see you in your happy place take care
Wowzerz! I can see a tenner in your comment 😅that’s never happened before! How generous and kind of you. Thank you for your continued support in watching. I’m not sure how the UA-cam monetisation thing works as they started tipping me with add revenue on Christmas Day 🎄 they gave me 70p! I think I may have to get about £60 in my pot before they start to send me any of it. I’ll keep you updated on that. Not many folk talk openly about the pennies UA-cam send them for going camping 😂
PS, bush is easier when it’s not blasting with rain out. That sunset was phenomenal 😊see you on the next one, BW, Sarah
It's unfortunate but just so you don't think it's your bad luck, all sleeping mats tend to blow out like that eventually. I know you said you only had it for about five months. In my experience though there is no rhym nor reason to it. Some last years some a few months and that can also be for the exact same mat. Good news though...... usually an email to the manufacturer will get you a new replacement 😊 . Oh and if you can be bothered cut that one open and you'll understand why. There's not a lot to them.
Hey 👋🏻 yeah it was annoying. I never expect anything like that to last forever but at least around £140 I expected better from it especially as its performance was excellent in the conditions. It seemed perfect until it wasn’t. Going to try the Big Agnes Rapide SL 🙏🏻 I’ll be sure to give my thoughts on that on the next camp ⛺️BW, Sarah ps. I’m
Intouch with Rab
@SoloSarahBX Oh wait on that call. I wouldn't go for the big agnus. You will get patches with it incase it punctures. But get this....... you need an iron to put them on. Just some friendly advice. Good luck with whatever you decide on. Look forward to finding out.
@@roberthunter5398 thank you 🙏🏻 it’s already in its way!
Where did you get your stove windshield from please?
Hi 👋🏻 it’s a Speedster Stove. On their website I think it’s the Boarder raider cook set. Comes as a complete set. Sure you can buy the windshields separate though 👌🏻
speedsterstoves.co.uk/stoves/boprder-raider-cook-kit.html
You sleeping mat will still be under warranty so take it back. Keep you the great videos. Thanks
I have miss placed my proof of purchase from the internet order. I’m intouch with Rab so hopefully at most I will recipe a reply from them. I have bought a Big Agnes mat after trawling through lots of reviews and videos on long term usage. Better luck next time eh? ATB, Sarah
Sarah barnes off norfolk park?
Nope 😊 I do know a Sarah Barnes though ha ha!
Loved the video 👍
Was the sleep mat Rab?
Yes it’s the Rab Ionosphere 5 mat 🙂
What a spunky chick
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻⛺️✨⛺️
I bet your hubby gets some peace when you go camping😂
Not funny bone 🦴 head
😂 why do you think he bought me a tent for my birthday? 🎁 he’s a very easy going bloke and I am a very lucky wife. Did you see the uproar when I mentioned about doing a silent video?? That made me howl. I’ve enjoyed. Day alone with my dogs chillin’ today, not said a word 😂😂😂BW, See ya on the next un’ Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Lucky hubby, no don't do silent movies your not old enough...
what is it about people wild camping in the peaks. Its illegal. Those of us that work in the peaks find it a real pain that people ignore the rules.
Thank you for your comment. Wild camping is only completely legal in Scotland yes. My question to you is, why would you come to a UA-cam channel to tell me as the creator of this wild camping video that it is illegal? Why watch this video? I am interested to know.
The majority of the wild camping community choose to camp responsibly. This means camping away from farm land and livestock, camping away from public foot paths in secluded spots, setting up camp early and leaving early, most importantly leaving no trace that they have ever been there. My opinion is that if I am respecting the countryside and choosing to enjoy it in this way I am doing no harm. If I was asked to leave by a land owner I would pack up quickly and efficiently without question and move on. To avoid this disturbance I choose to camp alone and in places that are out of sight. More trouble, litter and disturbance from poorly parked vehicles is often displayed/seen by day visitors. Best wishes, Sarah
Hi Sarah, do your research on wild camping access in the UK. You would leave if asked to go by the landowner; you should speak with Moors to the Future about responsible use of the land; or The Peak Park. For those of us that work in the Peaks it makes it hard for us when people ignore the law of acess.@@SoloSarahBX
@@bpeltd7690 I will continue to wild camp and respect the land that I sleep on. I am a health professional and in my working life I serve families and communities and keep them safe at their most challenging times of life. That takes a continuous energy from me that is one of my greatest pleasures in life. I gain a great deal of inspiration from being out in the Peak District, hiking, running and camping are my favourite restorative exercise. I am not ignorant but I am respectful, nothing that you say will make me feel or think any different ☺️
Sarah, I wholly agree with your sentiments. It is a shame that laws can only be enforced as blunt instruments that cannot distinguish the usually obvious difference between responsible wild campers and fly campers.
@@michaelr4573 thank you. It really is such a shame. There are many things throughout history that have been seen as unlawful, but through respect and love great things have happened. Laws change and society can feel a better one for all ⛺️✨⛺️
