The Night The Snow Fell | Peak District Winter Wild Camp
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2023
- With full winter gear on my back I set off seeking my usual fix of solitude in The Peak District up high on the moorland at one of my favourite hangouts on the most magnificent little edge nestled in amongst the famous Higgor Tor and Over Owler Tor. As forecast, the temperature dropped and the snow fell thick and steady after dark, covering the U.K. in a blanket of beautiful white. I woke up in my toasty warm sleeping bag, drank steamy Yorkshire tea before first light admiring the glow of my tent. Like a glowing beacon she was. I didnt want to leave. My heart is still so full from my first experience of camping in the snow ❄️⛄️
Great video. Your sleeping bag certainly looks snug and great

Hi Sarah! Great video, so inspiring! I recently invested in a "Hillary" but haven't winter camped since I did my military service in 1972(!) but now I got the urge! Started following your journeys quite recently and watching all your videos in chronological order and this one I like the most so far, you exude such positivity (as always) and I, like most outdoor geeks, like your informativeness about your equipment, keep it up so, you are doing everything right!
Roffe, Stockholm
Hey Roffe! Thank you for watching and sticking with my earlier videos, I watch them back and think how different they were and how much I’ve learnt especially when it comes to talking to my audience! I think if you do it for the love of the actual hike and camp then there’s nothing that’s going to stop the passion shining through because in all honesty it’s that which keeps calling me out there! I’m starting to get itchy feet as haven’t been out for over a week 😂 life has been very busy of late. I hope to be out soon. So happy for you having bought a Hillary. I absolutely love the tent and it’s one that I will never sell on I just love tents!! New lighter shelter in the pipe line ☺️ATB, Sarah
Nice one Sarah a refreshing change from middle aged guys drinking beer on the fells
Hey David 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by…yeah I haven’t had a beer in the tent yet nor have I camped on the fells, sometimes take a small tipple to enjoy but it’s usually a pinacolada. Mostly I’m happy with a hot chocolate during these frozen nights, can’t beat it. See you on the next one, ATB, Sarah
I used to do a lot of fell walking almost killed myself a couple of times with hypothermia back in the day
These days I like a hot water bottle in bed lol @@SoloSarahBX
@@davidwatson353 nothing wrong with that! Although walking fells and a hit water bottle in the tent is a great combo!
Oh Crikey I have fear of doing that in Summer you mind mid Winter but your a brave soul and so inspiring.
It’s great in winter, I think I prefer it
Great video. Thank you. Please keep making them as they encourage me to get off my fat behind and sniff the bracing winter air.
You can count on me to keep the videos coming! See ya on the next one! I enjoy sitting on my fat behind…rest is equally as important as adventure 😍
Messner the snowman... its a spit of him.
😂 although that wasn’t my intention I was immensely proud of my snowman Mr Messner 😍
Wonderful, what a great time. 🏕️👍
It was a really special one this Dave. Nit only because of the snow and being a big kid, but because I’d missed it so much 🥹 simple pleasures in life are the best. Thank you for stopping by as always Dave, BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX yes I’m sure there will be a rash if snowy Peak District wild camping videos, I look forward to watching them as you say makes for something special. 🙏
Great trip :)
It was perfect 👌🏻 ⛺️✨⛺️
lovely...quite an adventure
Brrŕrrrr🥶. Looks bear chilly😊. Best wishes from south Manchester 👏 😊
Hello from the other side of the Great mamma Kinder Scout 👋🏻 I have often gazed out fondly to a twinkling Manc when up camping in Kinder Scout. BW from Sheffield 😊Sarah
Wonderful, what life is all about, simple pleasures. 👍
Confidence, experience and memories growing.
I had such a nice time. This really makes me glow with an inner happiness. I know it shows because my nearest and dearest tell me. Thank you for watching and taking time to comment 😊 BW, Sarah
Another lovely video Sarah it was a laugh glad you enjoyed the night and got back home safely
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it 😊the drive home was steady in my tin can 🙏🏻⛄️BW, Sarah
loved your video xx
That’s awesome 🙌🏻 thanks for watching and taking the time to tell me that 🤩ATB, Sarah
What an amazing beautiful snowy video. I just think your great. Thank you for sharing this with us.
So nice of you Mary, thank you 🤩 see you on the next adventure, ATB, Sarah
Another smasher Sarah! Can't wait till I get my down pants... Yours looked well comfy and warm ⛄.
Thanks Sam 😊they are my best buy for sure 👌🏻 BW, Sarah
Great video x
Thank you for watching ✨⛺️✨
Wow. Great snowy camp Sarah. What a perfect way to get over a hangover. Hopefully you'll get another one in before the winter is out. Loving the snowman! ⛄😆
Excellent video enjoyed watching ❤
Looked like you had a great camp. Tent looked great in snow at night lit up👍
Great life experience 🌻🇦🇺👍
Love the Christmas music too the sped up breaking down tent😂kept playing it and has put us in the Christmas mood 🥶👍
Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed it Paula, it helps me get into the Christmas spirit just making the vid never mind the camp with lights aglow 🤩✨
Hi Sarah,
Wonder how many of those cars in the layby stayed the night. You mentioned your Motorola, I’ve heard good things about them so will be looking out for future comments. Glad you are pleased with your Speedster stove, funny how when I was starting out Trangia was king, then gas and petrol took over now there seems to be a bit of a shift back to alcohol burners, slow, safe, reliable and perhaps best still quiet. You mentioned the sound of the snow, when it really comes down if its not windy it attenuates all sound, quite eerie. Have you ever been in a whiteout? Now that is an experience, no horizon, now sky, it’s actually quite surreal and spiritual. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed your first snow camp, that you made it safely home and most of all that you took us with you.
Cheers
Graham
Hi Graham 😊I can confirm nobody stayed in that lay-by as my car was all on its lonesome when I returned. I had to dig it out and turn it round back to the direction of Sheffield, the odd car passed and it was good to see others making their way out for a look…including a man on skis 🎿 he got a massive thumbs up from me! I wasn’t expecting such still was as the wind usually blows there so that was surreal. I find all of my camps spiritual and incredibly grounding, back to nature, appreciation and simplicity especially with the stove. Spirit burners are my favourite. See ya on the next one ⛺️✨BW, Sarah
@20.10... imagine some prudish night walkers passing your soulo and overhearing your talking to yourself! Then, you start talking about meconium smelling nice..😳😄😆😆👏🙏🎄🥳💥
Ha ha! I’ve relaxed more into talking if you havnt noticed 😄 the fact I talk about eating meconium noodles was absolutely not rehearsed, rather more of a sensory experience 😂💩 love dem noodles 🍜
What a great winter camp to add to your ever growing collection of YT wild camps! Lovely touch with the xmas lights. One you'll remember I'm sure along with the aurora camp. ❄⛄
Hey Gav 👋🏻 thanks 🙏🏻 it was a fab night, really jaw dropping when I was walking around my glowing Hilary at 07:00…I’ll never forget that 😊 thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Hope you manage to get out soon! Missing your camps ⛺️✨⛺️
Really enjoyed that and the snowman made me smile.glad you made it home ok.down trousers seem the way forward.form over fashion as they say.😅.cheers mate for getting out there and taking us on your journey.
Hey 👋🏻 so glad you enjoyed it. As you can imagine with the length of my videos I have a lot of footage to edit out 😂as I put my tent down I chatted away ti the camera and talked about how it reminded me of one of those childhood snow days when you build an igloo and snowman for hours…in my next breath Mr Frosty appeared on that rock 🪨 😊BW, Sarah
Bit late watching this as it only just popped up! Nice one - now i see why you got your pee bottle!
lol yes! It’s not worth getting h outside cold and wet for a wee!
Hi Sarah, it’s great to get out in the snow isn’t it, really enjoyed your video and I’ve subbed, I’ll watch your latest vid next
Hey 👋🏻 awe great to see you here! Thanks for stopping by, was quite a long in this what with all the chit chat and snowman ⛄️ building. Camp was like being in an insulated igloo with my spirit burner on the go ⛺️✨⛺️Happy camping! ATB, Sarah
That’s awesome Sarah👌🏻…what a download of snow that was! Fair play to you for re setting the hangover with that one😂..I’m with you on the down trousers, exactly same as mine…gamechangers 👏💪 thanks for sharing, take care
Believe me, I hardly drink alcohol but had a skin full that Friday…this was the best cure. Down trousers, wow, what cold? that’s all I’ve got to say about that 🤩❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Really enjoyable snowy camp Sarah. Loved the snowman! Wishing you and family a Merry Christmas! 🎄Ben
Cheers Ben! And a Merry Christmas to you and yours too. Thanks for stopping by, BW Sarah 🎅🏽 🤶 🎄
Nice 1 Sarah… Subbed 👍🏼
Thanks Liam ⛺️🙌🏻
you are an absolute joy to watch. damn fine driving too
Steady careful driving 😅 thanks for watching! 😍
Cheers, great vide.
Thanks for stopping by to share it with me 😊BW, Sarah
Amazing video hun
Hey 👋🏻 thank you Robert, much appreciated, ATB, Sarah
Perfect conditions Sarah. Well done 💪
The night before your perfect conditions I believe 🤩 I thought I could see 3 snowmen wandering about in the distance that morning 🤭 thanks for watching, catch ya ont’ next un’, BW, Sarah
Nice one Sarah stunning little spot and snow !
Awesome 👏👌👍🎄
Cheers G
Hey Graham 👋🏻 thank you 🤩 it was just glorious ❄️ ATB, Sarah
Smashing video Sarah. You looked so happy to be there. I thought the snowman was a nice touch too. Looking forward to your next adventure...
Thank you David 😊I havnt built a snowman in a long time so it was my absolute pleasure! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment, much appreciated. BW Sarah
That was super. Great job! Atb 👍
Ahhhh I’m pleased that you enjoyed it ☺️❄️⛺️✨
I saw some of your pictures on Instagram and the video appeared on my UA-cam feed. I share lots of your feelings about solo camping. I lead such a non-stop life and am always in a rush. Having nothing to do except relax, cook some food, drink some warm drinks and look at the beautiful scenery is pure bliss. I love it. I’m off to the Cairngorms next week for some snowy camping hopefully. Thanks
Hey Ben! Fancy that! Thanks for watching, k think if we’re all to get together in a room we would simply share the same motives for camping. What a simply great hubby it is. Have a lovely trip, ATB Sarah
Absolutely beautiful video. The snow looked awesome. The morning looks so beautiful. Great job Sarah thank you for taking us along with you. No disrespect but you and your beanie drinking your hot chocolate you look so pretty thank you again from Northern California.🙏💙🇺🇸
Thanks Thomas! That beanie hat is a recent purchase and just in the nick of time too, I was comfortable and warm throughout my camp and the hot chocolate is like engine oil 😍 BW, Sarah
I am so envious of such a snow covered wild camp! Well done Sarah, and what a lovely treat for you in the morning! One thing for sure, for those that have not experienced what you have now, there are no words to aptly express the fulfilling experience you have had on that night! One bit of advice I can give to identify gaps in rocks before climbing them is an Anti Personnel Flame Thrower; found it does the trick quite adequately! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love the video, keep em coming!
You are absolutely bang on there Mr Nobody 😂 I’d love to know your name btw, may have seen it in a FB group begins with S? 🤫 there simply are no words, this video as you know to well is just the tiniest snapshot. I felt like I was somewhere else as I couldn’t see more than 100 metered in front with the fog. Maybe my soto lighter will be sufficient? Although I’d prefer one like Ripley 😂bet that’s for a quick boil on it ❄️🤣BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Pure magical Sarah, and you have it recorded for posterity. My name to my English m8s is Steve, although my legal name is Sa'id (pronounced Sa'eed) Muhammad. Funny enough came back into the Country and was in centre of a certain City in England and a copper said I fitted the description of someone they were looking for. He demanded my name and I gave it to him Sa'id Muhammad and he said 'If you lie to me again, I'm going to arrest you!' I showed him my driving license and he went red faced with embarrassment! Oh how we laughed!
@@mrnobodieswildcampingadventure how dare he!! Both great names and I will call you what you wish. Too
Many assumptions and judgments these days, I do enjoy your social media title just as much as your jokes 🤭😂❄️
One of your international subscribers (Asturias, top of Spain). Great video Sarah, love the snowy hills. Have an Osprey and Soulo, too, great combo. Really enjoy your narration. 👋👍
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for stopping by and commenting, glad you enjoyed the snow here! It was a fab camp with comfortable gear
What an awesome campout you had, beautiful views and all that snow it would have been exhilarating. Its a bit cold for my liking though, be worth it for the views though. Thanks for taking us along.
Cheers from Australia
👋🏻 🇦🇺 hey! It was certainly cold and luckily the forecast was accurate so I felt well prepared for the elements. I’m so pleased that my gear performs well after lots of research I’m glad to have the correct kit to keep me comfortable in these conditions 😊 it was my absolute pleasure taking you along with me, BW, Sarah
Fantastic video and well done - really inspiring. I was out on Higgar Tor on the Saturday and it was really cold and icy. Must have been so cold overnight. But looked to be well worth it. Also well done for getting back home as well. Even the roads where I live in Sheffield were treacherous.
Weekend camping is not usually
My thing as a shift worker I tend to camp
In the week but all the planets were aligned and I really couldn’t wait to get out. I think it’s obvious from my videos how much I love the area. I felt the cold mostly in the early evening when -2 came around. It felt much colder in the wind so I was happy to have my tent well pitched to dive into. Glad you made it out to Higgor Tor, isn’t she just awesome!?BW, Sarah
Love it, just did a chilly camp myself but only in a campsite. Friday night in my helm 1 on the coldest night of the year quickly taught me I don't have the right winter gear 😄🥶
Loved the video, keep it up 💪
Respect ✊ that’s a great way to test your kit in a safe environment rather than being miles from home and vulnerable. I’ve upgraded gradually when I could afford ☺️ see you on the next one ⛺️BW, Sarah
Great vid. Enjoyed watching it. Take care.. God bless
Hey 👋🏻 thank you, I’m glad that you enjoyed watching ATB, see you in the next one, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX see you there
Hey Sarah, working my way through some of your back catalogue (sounds like im ordering from Argos) anyway great to see how the channel has grown. Some brilliant camps but I really enjoyed this one in the snow. TFS Steven
I must catch up on yours too Steven! Always enjoyed your channel and posts on insta…your latest trip and tarp pics though 🤩🤩🤩👌🏻
@@SoloSarahBX cheers Sarah its a tough gig deciding between photos and video especially when i have the attention span of a goldfish!
Great video, the snowman looked like Mr Messner!
🤭😂😂😂😂 with his hat on! Lol glad you stopped by, thank you, ATB, Sarah
GREAT VIDEO WOW THAT TENT LOOKS EXPENSIVE!
Hillary Hilleberg retails at stupid prices these days. Wild campers bought a Soulo for around £450 a few years back, now it’s double. Ya know what though? She was my 40th birthday present from my Mr so he must think my hubby is worth it 😂ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX cool
This vid was brilliant Sarah, you're a natural talent.. You make everything look nice when actually it's very harsh, you proved your kit works for you and it will give you confidence in any Weather... Very nice touches with the lights and happy music... So Christmasy... Ace 🏕️👍🙂
Interesting observations there Twiggy! Thanks for stopping by as always ☺️ it isn’t easy at all is it? Even getting in and out of the tent or toileting and turning over in a sleeping bag and having to heat water etc etc. i think my hardest part was climbing up Higgor in the snow with my pack on back to the car 😅 on my knees I like the challenge if it all and in general I think you’ll find I am a genuinely positive upbeat person. I’m really pleased with my set up at present. Might go up a notch in the sleep mat as fancy a thermarest with the chair for lazing about in with my brew 🤩⛺️ looking forward to your next vid if you filmed! ❄️BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX... Its all hard a camp like that, it's the challenge we love, makes us feel alive.. To film it at same time is next level.. Its super fun much more rewarding than staying in warm with TV on... 1000 subs for Xmas 🙂👍
@@twiggyescapes hey Twiggy… guess who’s been to find the log book? 📕 🤩
Yes you’re right, filming it is also the challenge but enjoyment too. If I didn’t make a video for my camp I’d be just as happy if not a little more quiet 😅 but I do talk to myself anyway so why not share it? Subs a 1000? No way! I’m not in the same league as thee! 👌🏻✨⛺️
@@SoloSarahBX Better than me Sarah you're a natural to this... Still think 1000 for Xmas... Now that would be a fab pezi.. 🙂
If you had said that you're in a basecamp in Nepal I would have believed. It was magic. Life doesn't need to be complex. Thanks for taking us with you. Christmas music and disco lights and of course a hot brew, beautiful.
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching and commenting here. I really enjoy the simplicity and calmness that I absorb when I camp up on the moors. I love lights so took them with me! It was a perfect home for the night ✨⛺️❄️ ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Hope you found your microphone, a Merry Christmas and of course A Happy New Year later on
Really envious, we’ve only had a couple of snow falls thus far in the Los Picos de Europa (peaks of europe), but should start in earnest shortly. Look forward to watching more of your videos. 👍
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for stopping by and commenting, the snow was excellent that night. It’s been a long time since I experienced walking up in the wild to the white stuff and it made my day. I’m sure you will get your usual fall soon much more than we ever see here in the UK, weather is incredibly changeable. BW, Sarah
Lovely Vid. My wife often says things like that when i head out, "You do know what the temperature, rain, wind, snow forecast will be, don't you?" For my big 50 birthday, she gave me a wedge of money for a nice ebay tent and new hatch covers for my sea kayak. Seem to remember from an earlier vid, your husband got you an early birthday tent. My wife is awesome, think your husband might also be awesome for you.
Ha ha! What a lovely comment to read Sam 😍 your adoring wife is I’m sure, used to your ‘outings’ and yes my husband is an amazing man and with his blessing or not I head out the door and he trusts me. That’s at the centre of a damn good life partnership right there…A Hilleberg! I mean TRUST! 😍🤣
Another smashing camp love cheers
It was fantastic, thank you for stopping by as always 😊 I’d missed Hillary! Life can squish down the hobby sometimes ⛺️ ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I think I need to get a proper set up and do all this myself. I have a Nice backpacker tent (Naturehike Cloudpeak 2) just not much else yet! ...and sadly I think the Berlingo is ready for the scrappers..along with several other things it needs a new clutch. Ah well keep dreaming....
@@SoloSarahBX ...and yeah work, time and money does kinda get in the way x. I'm not far from the peaks in Rotherham so i need to get out more!
@@mrjiggs3761 it took me time to
Collect all I needed. Definitely need a bit more kit for winter. I started in early June and remember walking in shorts…hope you find the time to camp when you are ready 😊
@@SoloSarahBX thanks chuck x
Well done Sarah on a great winter camp 👍
Have you experienced this, the week before your stay on the south edge across from you here. I was watched by a drone for 5 minutes directly above my head. This was in the dark at 11pm. The drone flew over to a vehicle that had an illuminated light bar on the roof. Rest of the night was quiet.
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching ☺️I saw your post in one of the FB groups about this last week I think it was? Highly likely it was someone playing with their drone and was just being nosey! If you were near surpriseview car park 🅿️ it’s usually got camper vans in it. I wonder if they had infrared as otherwise I doubt you’d have been visible …still, that would freak me out mate
You lucky beggar, snow camps are the best. I bet a bag of my leftover snap would have gone down a treat up there. Made me laugh when you said "I'm off the dehydrated meals" whilst tucking into a dehydrated Soba noodle. They are the best though. If I'd have known you were in the area I would have let you have my bag of beef stroganoff and pasta that I carried round with me (I was walking down the Burbage valley path about 2.30pm). We never stopped for a good feed on our walk, just ate snacks, so I had it when I got home. I do hope this is not the last of the snow for this season. I want to hear the crump of deep snow under my feet first hand. Mad woman in her element. ATB.
That would have been fantastic 🤣 you should start a business stashing strange packages behind boulders for hungry campers 👌🏻 gap in the market! Yeah that re-hydrated noodle rubbish went down a treat 😂 I’m a dafty. They are my favourite but I did wake up hungry at 2 am…that’ll learn me Andy!! Thanks for watching, ATB, Sarah
Yaktrax for Sarah, Santa! Then you can wear them or not when conditions dictate. All the natives here have winter tyres on over winter, we did have minus 6 and it’s still frozen solid and snowed over in the Grampian foothills. Brrr! 😊
I got some microspikes through the post yesterday 🤫 🎅🏽 🤩

Well done , great efforts
Thanks! Almost effortless when you love it so much 😊⛺️BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX ah ha , unless you are carrying a bag of cobwebs there
Lovely pleasent video. Well done Sarah. Ps. Whats your dog called x
I know I'm a miserable get, but I wouldn't like all them folk around?
Nice one Sara, I did enjoy your video. You go Girl 🎉
If you mean on the way to camp then yes, Higgor Tor is a favourite place for many but I can tell you that once the sun went to sleep everyone buggered off and I saw and heard nobody apart from a few head torches from late stranglers or maybe a camper? I purposefully go out of my way to make sure I’m alone for my own safety so always away from paths. I’m a massive lover of my own company 😂
Rate good vid Sair !

HELLO. 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
That snowman segment had me with tea ( Welsh Brew ) coming down my nose.It was beautiful as well as funny. I did toy with buying some down trousers but then I thought: how will my internet history look if I've been googling 'Down pants' Any road uppards, you don't need all those fancy clothes to see you through winter.You really don't. Come early november my mum applies a generous layer of goose grease to my whole torso.She then wraps me in brown paper and sews me into a brand new M&S vest.This all remains in situ until late spring when I am hosed down in the back yard. Oft times I've heard some insensitive bugger ask, What the f*ck is that smell? But I don't care,I am toasty warm all winter and for very little outlay. Take care Sarah and keep up whatever,Mike.
Your comment had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 absolute belter that! My imagination took me to darker places than your internet search history for down pants 😅cracking. Ps hosed down with warm or cold water? 😂ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX It has to be hot water,107 degrees C at least to dissolve the now rancid grease. It hurts like hell but as Twiggy said, ' What we do isn't easy.' Nor should it be. I'm not a cold water enthusiast but I did enjoy your wild swimming film.Though I did notice that you do not carry the wildcamper's mantra of Leave no trace,into your aquatic pursuits: You left that lake looking like a pig's breakfast. SHOCKING!
Apropos pigs: did you know that pigs can see the wind? Fascinating,eh? And what do we do with these magical creatures? We kill them and put them in sandwiches.DREADFUL!
My uncle Cyril used to say we should learn one new thing each day.So there you go, Sarah, your starter for ten: Pigs can see the wind.That's you done,day one . I learnt yesterday,for example, that a more interesting word for anti-clockwise is widdershins.Aren't words brilliant!
Any road uppards,enough of this tripe,I have pimple-popping videos to watch. TTFN.

Nice video you put together. No wonder it's done well. I missed the snow again lol
Lovely camp slightly jealous of you as i missed the snow again 😂
I just seem to strike lucky ya know seen as I haven’t been out for 3 weeks prior to this camp. The snow waited for little old me 🤣 I hope the white stuff comes back and you get out very soon! BW, Sarah
Great video couldn't got ya timing better for your snow camp stay safe catch you soon 👍
Timing was just fantastic! The snow came sooner than I’d expected that night but I was all set up in dry cold conditions so it felt perfect. See ya ont’ next un’ 🤩 BW, Sarah
Please can you tell me I had the compact 1 but sold it because I'm 6ft it felt to short is there more room in the solo there's only you and pat dickenson in Sheffield I know that has one love to see one before order one I live Sheffield so if you ever set up on graves Park let me know lol ps found note book at secret camp nice to see pat been and commented 👍

I can't believe Mr Frosty didn't kiss you back. So cold and heartless.

"Strong, independent woman" does not begin to describe you. You have more courage and enthusiasm for life than most of the people I know. Sorry if this is repeating what I've said to you before, but you really are an inspiration to me. I'm trying to be like you. I'm getting better at it. Not at your level yet but I'm getting better at it.
PS: where'd you buy that lighter? 🤔
I’m very moved reading your comment. Thank you for the kindest words. I appreciate that…Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that shite ha ha! Takes time to make good wine/whisky 👌🏻tell ya what I’ll edit my description on this video with a full Kit list 😊BW Neil, Sarah
I once tried to find the Etymology meaning of Higger. A Basque word meaning meeting place is all I could find. It fits nowhere else so am presuming it's from the little known ancient Brythonic celt tongue. Stanage edge means Stone age edge. Incidently Stonehenge was known as Stanage henge 400 years ago. Burbage is Saxon for the edge at the fort. Carl Wark was once known as the Fox house meaning the Devils house. Giving the fort Druidic connotations.
ADORE! You’ve made my day! Thank you for sharing this information with me, I feel a deeper spiritual connection to this place, I’ve been there before, just not in this life. People ask me if I’m scared and I’m not. Kinder Scout fascinates me beyond measure but the Burbage Valley and Higgor feel like home
I worked on Longshaw back in the 80's & Peak park. Was fortunate to have spoken to the Warden at the time Steve Walker. He gave me a tour. I was a sponge he was a mine of information. The area being his passion & him being Oxford historian made it very interesting. Fear attracts danger. Confidence is a good shield. Regards the spiritual connection. You appear native. The graves on Baslow moor are 4,500 years old. I get the sense of belonging up there. So did my father. Often stumble across fragments ashes & dust up there. Higger Tor will do for me come the day. @@SoloSarahBX

Thank you Sarah, I will have a look.

Was a great night to be out.
Flippin reyt good Kieron. Your pictures of the group camp were fantastic! Thanks for sharing them…you’d made awesome videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✨🤭
@@SoloSarahBX maybe one day, but I’d put you all to shame with my cinematography skills and slightly weird sence of humour.
@@KieronGazza you’ve heard how much I can chat…I’m like it in real life ya know. Anyway Hengist and I have got all the gear and all the ideas so….going I dare ya 🤭
I can’t find your response about you officer Cadets? Did you serve in the QAs? Send it again. You come across as someone that would have loved the Army as I did for 10 years in the Medical Corps.
@@KieronGazza hey 👋🏻 when I was at uni aged 19 I joined the University Officer Training Corps in Beeston/East Midlands EMUOTC) it was an amazing few years learning so many skills in my spare time and I even got paid for it. We went on adventure training around various parts of the world, fondest memories but also some of the hardest. The combat fitness test was gruelling having to keep up with men of 6 feet, century shift duty drinking army ration hot chocolate trying to stay awake to look for Zulu company who were our enemy fire was tough in snow when I was tired. Getting up and out to the sound of gunfire wether it be playing soldiers or not was one of the most adrenaline fuelled things I’ve ever done. Navigating with night vision to base camps to riding a horse across the Canadian Rocky Mountains, sounds like a dream from a younger simpler time. leading my platoon in drill was a particular highlight. You must have seen all sorts. Upmost respect ✊
Great video! Can I ask if that stove gets too hot through to the footprint?
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for stopping by…no it stands in the aluminium plate that comes with the set and is perfectly safe to sit on ground in the footprint. I think I maybe used used my seat pad to steady the burner and windshield for cooking a curry on my latest video on Kinder Scout, BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX great stuff thanks Sarah I’ll me making a purchase a purchase in that case 🫡

Any woman watching probably all dirty old blokes like me waiting to see sexy down legs lol I love this down legs £47 I recently bought Phd Rondoy legs add a zero and some lol😅 for Scotland
Wow that’s a lot of pennies but who cares? If it’s camping gear its worth the spend for warmth and comfort ha ha
@SoloSarahBX exactly 💯 take care stay safe and thanks again for watching my nonsense when you do much appreciated
I love my NH down pants. 🩲 bought some down booties too for sleeping in. Toasty! 😍 and my electronic handwarmer in the sleeping bag is just divine. I'm intrigued by the stove set up. What's it stood on please?
Hi Sue 👋🏻thanks for stopping by and taking the time to share the down pant love 🙏🏻 they are a really decent bit of kit essential for me in these colder camps. My stove comes as a complete set up by Speedster stoves. It’s called ‘Boarder Raider cook set’ windshield and aluminium mat fits inside the 500ml pot with the non-spill spirit burner. I placed it on my footprint of the tent. The fold out metal mat is great. I’ve cooked a curry on it recently in my last vid ‘fear and motivation’ you’ll
See the stove in more detail there. ATB, merry Christmas 🎄 Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX thanks for replying and it's good to have found you. Can't beat a spot of down for snuggliness 🤣 Now off to have a nose as I love that little mat. Santa knows where I live as he has just bought me some black diamond trekking poles 😁 Just goes to show how little he knows about being good! 😉😁 Merry Christmas and am now subscribed 👏
