- For this trip I made my way over to Edale, where I met up with Dave Goodman (@DaveGoodman1959) and Simon Frampton. After a brew and a buttie in the local café, we made our way up onto Kinder Scout and setup camp at Crookstone Knoll for the night.
Day 2 saw us make our way towards Hope then up Lose Hill and along the Great Ridge, passing Mam Tor and the Lord's Seat, then onto Brown Knoll where we setup camp for our second night.
Day 3 saw us crossing Brown Knoll, passing the Trig point and continuing in the direction of Swine's Back. From here, we picked up the path that leads to the top of Jacobs Ladder and back into Edale. Once we arrived at Edale, we enjoyed a nice bit of grub washed down with a pint of ale in the Nag's Head pub.
This was a great end to the camping year of 2024, and I'm looking forward to what 2025 has in store for me. Happy New Year everybody.👍🙂
Loved this little adventure Steve , a good mixture of weather and some a great cloud inversion , i definitely think you deserved a pint and that meal at the end , it must be great having some good company along the way also , looking forward to the next .
Happy new year
Cheers Stuart. Yes mate, those cloud inversions were great to see. I'm glad that I filmed them or otherwise I would have thought that I'd imagined them.
Thanks for watching and for the comment Stuart, and a Happy New Year to you & yours.👍🙂
Happy new year all . A great few day's hiking ang camping. Thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Jez, I appreciate you taking the time to post that comment. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you mate.👍🙂
great vid …amazing weather and stunning views 😊
Cheers mate. I don't think that I've seen cloud inversions being so intense. I'm glad that I got it on film, or I'd be doubting myself now that they were so cool.
Thanks for watching and a Happy New Year to you & yours mate.👍🙂
What a wonderful group camp to see an amazing, campful, adventureful, Kinderful year out mate. 🏕️ And them views on the first night, being above the cloud inversion.. impressive that day wasn't it.. we were very lucky to get up high and witness it that day. We only discovered the beehive shelter near the airshaft the week before, so it was lovely to see you all sitting in there! Some hike that second day!! These trips don't half inspire us to get out for days at a time, which we've done a few times now and it is magical, so thanks for that buddy. Brilliant. 👍
Thanks Mats & Donna. Those cloud conversions were magical and I felt privileged to see them. Although lugging a weight on your back up a hill takes a bit of effort, the reward that you get when you see sights like that makes it totally worthwhile. You're right about the second day and the milage we covered. It was just over 10 miles, which doesn't sound a lot for a full day's walk, but with the elevation covered combined with chasing the daylight, it forces you to press on. I'm more of a rambler than a hiker, and subsequently, I'd prefer to do a walk like that in the lighter months where I can loiter and take my time.🙂
Cheers for watching and I hope you both have a fantastic time out on t'hills in 2025.👍
We felt privileged to see an inversion on that scale too.. will be lucky to ever see a sight like that again! And 10 miles is actually a heck of a lot with the ups and downs with a winter kit on your back! We're just ambling ramblers rather than marching hikers too Steve.. gotta take it all in haven't ya, and not do yourself a mischief. 🥴 All the very best buddy. 😉👍
Happy new year Steve..Great views bud and excellent weather saving up at moment for new tent looking into about get wild country helm 1.🎉👍
Cheers Coli. By all accounts the Helm 1 is a cracking tent.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year mate 👍🙂
Ya will probably try the tent out when a bit warmer weather..also like to go out on a trip with you all soon.
Great video Steve I’ve camped at your day 2 spot quite a few times 😀
Cheers Lisa That spot is a lovely and tranquil location, isn't it? Thanks for watching and all the best for 2025.👍🙂
Great end to the year Reddy.
All the best for 2025
You need to up your fitness level to 8 x Champion 💪
Cheers John. Dunno about carrying the weight of 8 tins, and anyway, I've recently been carrying a hip flask of Whiskey as well as my 4 tins of Champion. With me being an alcohol lightweight, that's more than enough for me.🙂
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year mate.👍
Lovely video, looks like you had a great trip out😃
Cheers Carrie, I appreciate you taking the time to post that nice comment.👍
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year to you.🙂
@Hengists_Wild_Camps Thanks☺
More great places to visit Steve
Love the way you describe where routes are
Look forward to your next one
Happy new year
Kind regards Jeff
Cheers Jeff, I appreciate the feedback mate. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
What a cracking camp with great company. Thanks for taking us all along
Cheers David, I appreciate the feedback mate. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
What a blessed camp! Pretty much perfect weather on the first day, then a brutal day heading over to Brown Knoll - again, you probably had perfect weather, can you imagine doing that in bright sun, or pouring rain? I really dont know how you manage a day like that on an empty stomach Steve, your dedication to McEwans over food is legend! Thanks for sharing, and have a happy, peaceful healthy and wealthy new year!
PS... I heard that the beehive cairn on Jacob's Ladder was damaged by some idiots climbing on it. Its such a shame, people dont realise that cairns, especially this one are very old features of our landscape - its probably older than the hillfort at Mam Tor.
Cheers Phil. If I sit around the house doing nowt then I get hungry. However, after doing anything which involves exercise, for some reason, my appetite seems to disappear. It's weird mate, I can start the day off feeling hungry, but after lugging a bag up a few hills the hunger goes away. That coupled with the fact that I'm lazy and bone-idle gives me an excuse not to cook owt lol.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year Phil.👍🙂
Another brilliant video Steve keep them coming and Happy New Year mate
Cheers Bill, I appreciate that mate. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
That looked a challenging route, well done to you all. Amazing how it can go from balmy summers evening to North Sea storm weather in 24 hours 😬. Great watch Steve. Happy new year pal 👍👍
Cheers Paul. Aye mate that weather was a bit on the barmy side in how it changed from day to day. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
Happy new year as well mate! Yesterday I reconnected PS3 for nostalgic purposes and guess what - I found your messages there from 2017! Talk about nostalgia trip! :)
Cheers mate!
Lol Cliff, 2017 doesn't really doesn't seem that long ago. How the time flies by eh?
Thanks for watching and a Happy New Year to you mate.👍🙂
Never gets boring kinder does it, to say it's int middle o' sheffield and manchester it's a magical place.
Cheers John and you're right about Kinder mate. No matter how many times I go up there it always feels new and different, be that the changing seasonal colours or the light/weather conditions casting shadows and such. Then there's also the 20 odd square miles of the Kinder plateau to explore. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
Looks like you had another memorable trip/ camp. Happy New year to you all and I will be looking out for more 2025 camps. Keep up the great videos most enjoyable sir 👍
Cheers Tarn, I appreciate that comment mate. Thanks for watching and a Happy New Year to you.👍🙂
Happy new year to you mate, I really enjoyed that Steve particularly the second half and the end as I didn’t film much.
ATB for 2025. 🥃
Cheers Dave. I was surprised that I had so much footage, as due to the weather, I thought that I hadn't filmed enough. I really enjoyed this trip and your company mate.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂

I watched your last video on kinder scout,I plan to head up to kinder scout for the snow on Saturday and believe it's going to be quite wild so plan on staying around for a few days.good video and all the best dude,take care.
Cheers Marty. I just saw the forecast for this weekend and it looks like it's going to be cold one, stay safe mate. I'll be next going out on the Tuesday after that, so knowing my luck, all the snow will have melted by then. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
hi,yes, very cold. i think the wind chill will be horrendous, but both myself and my dog are fully prepared.i was in the little forest below mermaids pool over Christmas Eve until the Saturday(it's such a shame people have destroyed that little area,your saying of leave no trace so other's can enjoy is so lost on a lot of people,it's heartbreaking)I'm sure I'll see you about the peaks as it's really handy for me and beautiful aswell.take care my friend and I hope snow is still there for you.
looks a bit 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Cheers mate. The weather was all over the place on this trip. The first night it was like summer, then normal winter conditions were resumed the next day. Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
Why hengist?
Great question John. Hengist (or Hengest depending on the spelling), is a character from early English history. History has been a life long passion of mine and when I setup the channel, I didn't really want to use my real name for the channel but do something a little different. So I picked an obscure weird name lol. If you go to the 'Community' section of this channel, you'll find a short video in there explaining in more detail who Hengist was.
Thanks for watching and Happy New Year.👍🙂
Yeah, I did a bit of research about Hengist last night and found out a bit about him and his brother Horsa!
@johnd8538 In old English John, Hengist translates as Stallion (this is still used in Dutch, I believe) and Horsa as Mare. The English language still uses a version of Horsa in the modern word Horse.👍
