I don't always comment, but for me, this is one of the best channels on UA-cam. Superb. No bullsh*t, just amazing camps and scenery. Good to see your winter kit. Cheers Andy. ATB
Yep, it’s one of my favourites, he always does a lovely walk, then camp and gorgeous photographs. I love hearing about all the different locations and descriptions of the surroundings. Wish I had such an in-depth knowledge of the hillsides 😃
thanks kinds words & very much appreciated..it's always been my aim to give viewers the experience i'm having with the walk in,the camp & the scenery..i'm glad you enjoy watching.
1 of the best channels on UA-cam. It's nice to see a great blend of hiking and photography from someone who is genuinely down to earth and doesn't do these stupid stunts like trying to wild camp in dangerous storms. The kit you've collected is very impressive and has definitely given me some ideas to think about with regards to my winter kit.
thanks David yeah i pretty much try to keep it real,i like to give the viewers as much as possible the same experience i'm having & yes i'm not that silly to do what some have done in recent times..iv'e been at this many years & i know when to call it & stay at home safe tfw.
I really do like Andy’s channel. A perfect blend of hiking, camping and photography. All from a guy who is genuine and down to earth. Who produces great content and is clearly interested in and knowledgeable about his location and surroundings 👏🏽
Watching your stunning star photografs and the epic sunrise with my morning coffee! Great start of the day, cheers! ATB, an aspiring wild/all year camper from the Netherlands (no wild camping here....bit nice camp grounds, hope to get to UK/Scotland soon!)
Hi Andrew, Breathtaking scenery, amazing star and astro stills / video. As many are saying on here your channel gives us, the viewer a real personal view of the area and camp. Originally my neck of the woods and really miss the weather and stunning sun rise/sets at this time of year. Well done again fella.
thanks it's just what i try to get across so it's great to hear that the viewer appreciates it.can be quite amazing up there when the conditions are like that tfw.
Pure masterclass in how to make a UA-cam video. 'I've camped in this spot before!' I laughed out loud to this! You've camped almost everywhere before, I think you'd be hard pushed to find somewhere you've not camped!
Spot on that Andy, thanks for this. I cant find Grinah Stones on the map but have a rough idea where you mean. It was great to see you run through your gear, thanks. There is a wealth of experience in your explanation that is just so useful. I always want to ask you about the gear that you wear, even in this video. Its like a fashion show, every shot, youve got a new piece of gear on!
@@AndrewBeavers magic, thanks, it's one of those things that doesn't come up when you search is maps. I spent ages looking for it, but went straight there from your description.
Really great video mate iv not been up that part off peak District but definitely worth it with them views mate looking forward too your next adventure mate keep hum coming 👍👍😀
It makes it all worthwhile to brave the elements and temperatures when you can camp in locations like that and enjoy some fantastic light into the bargain! Stunning video Andy, I loved the Astro shots in particular. Thanks for taking the time to go through your winter kit with us, I found it particularly interesting as it's something I want to do myself. Atb Anthony👍👍👍
thanks anthony i do favour the winter camping the conditions can be a real treat at times with the cold conditions.im sure you'll enjoy it when you have a go at it tfw.
Bloody brilliant fantastic nights camping that man. Excellent video. My face was freezing just watching it. Worth it for the views though. Might go there sometime. Cheers!
How come I've not happened across you before!. I'm from chapeltown. Hell I miss a northern accent. Been darn sarf too long. A great channel. Fantastic, keep it up mate 👍
Another fantastic video Andy....... really appreciate the effort you put in to create your content & share your adventures with us. One of the best channels on YT for this type of content....... please keep them coming👍
Brilliant film Andy. Night photos superb. I agree with you that the Grinah Stones are a wonderful viewpoint especially of the Derwent Valley. Keep up the good work.
Stunning conditions for a camp Andy. Mornings like that must make it all worthwhile. Really interesting to see your kit too. The down pants look excellent. Rab make some great kit don’t they? You’ve certainly acquired some good winter camping kit. The Canon camera is capturing some excellent footage and photographs by the way 👌
My favourite type of camp anthony the cold clear nights with a hard frost & sunrise its great to experience..iv'e built up quite a lot of rab gear over the years it's a brand i trust & it works for me.yeah the m50 is doing a great job tfw.
Alreet mate! Glad to see you back out 😁 love it when I see your videos pop up 👌🏻 Wonder if Ladybower etc has finally got some water in it now lol last time I went is was real low. Glad to see the odd bit of snow still about. Loved how you showed us all your winter kit, that was really great to see nice one!! 👍🏻 I really, really liked this video learning more about your kit, got my eye on one or two items there 😉 Brilliant lighting in the tent shots too mate 👌🏻 👏🏻 Andy... those photos are absolutely superb!! Wow man good job! 👑📸 This is the BEST video ive seen all week... infact you know what, im watching it all again right now! Seriously! Thanks so much this has really cheered me up after all whats been going on with me lately 😊 😊🤗 Take care pal and I wish you a great weekend ahead 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻 ATB... Chris ⛰🏕💚
cheers chris yeah they look as though they're finally starting to get back to decent levels..took a few year to get that kit together ,some bits ive replaced over years as yo use it you upgrade etc..hope you're on the mend pretty soon mate winter is here 😉 tfw mate.
@@AndrewBeavers Awesome! Yeah you have some bang on kit there, definitely happy with everything ive got so far and would be fine. But a few items like the Rab down pants I wouldn't have even thought of getting. Cheers mate ive got 2 MRI scans on Monday going private so costing me £500 like but hopefully ill get sorted quicker. Want to get some winter camps in 😁🥶❄🥶❄ Enjoy your weekend mukka 🙏🏼⛰🏕🏕 Chris
What a cracking video, location, the gear you use explained brilliant, sun rise, the guy lines on the Hilleberg look mint 👌 cheers appreciate it all the best stay safe marra 🏕 👍
With the snow melt them hills are alive for sure Andy. Love that it's all around. Wow mate minus 3 but as you say with winds it's triply bitter. You're kitted out through. And what a morning. I so look forward to overcoming my injury - I'm chomping at the bit. Take care out there. Mark
they sure do mark there's lots of gills & run off come off those hills that feed the 3 reservoirs below & they're quite lively when the snow has melted as it has this week.with the right gear it's a pleasure to spend nights like that camping to experience those mornings..hope the injury heals quickly mark take care mate tfw.
Really enjoyed that Andy. So much so I’ve watched it twice. I’ve got a pair of the argon pants and hot socks too. Definitely worth bringing along for those colder nights.
What a fantastic video, Andrew. Really interesting to see what you carry. I have a down jacket to change into when I pitch up but will have a look at getting a pair of those pants as well. Grinah Stones is my favourite location on Bleaklow. I camped in the same exact spot earlier this year in rather warmer weather than you had. We came close to possibly meeting up recently. As you were camping on the Woolpacks I was pitched up at Madwoman's Stones. The Woolpacks had originally been my destination but for some reason I changed my mind at the last minute. The helicopter you mentioned was buzzing around me for quite a while as well. Best wishes and take care.
thanks frederick yeah its a lovely spot up there as is bleaklow stones ive camped at both locations several times & id be torn to say which location is better..shame we didn't see each other that night & yeah that chopper was buzzing around for quite a while tfw.
Is a nip what you Yorkshire folk call a half pint lol good video as usual some of the best views in the peak, I usually camp on bleaklow stones nice to see you found a pitch on grinah
thanks steve ayy a nip is a bit more than just a nip 😉 camped at bleaklow stones many times but over at grinah or barrow stones it's much the quieter area although pitching spots are less abundant tfw.
What can I say loved the kit review gave me a few ideas the rab hot socks and down pants. The filming stunning. Camped at Grinah stones and know that it’s a good hike to get there. Brilliant filming and yes love the Skywatch going to get one ☝️ thanks again Andy a really entertaining watch,greatly enjoyed. Love the calm measured experience which shines through atb Dave 😁👍
thanks dave the rab socks & down pants are great pieces of kit mate you wont be dissapointed with them they're super warm.skywatch is great too just nice to know exactly what winds & temps your'e experiencing rather than wild guessing tfw.
Another good watch thanks Andy some great nightshots too 👍 I used my SkyeHigh 900 for the first time last week up in the Lakes and was as warm as toast... well pleased with it. The Rab down pants and boots look good... something to put on my Christmas list. ATB.
I'm out in the Peak District wild camping as much as I can. Was camping up on Kinder last weekend and didn't come across anyone even at the Woolpacks - guess cuz of the low temps, so great to see you doing your winter camps - proper hardcore. Have a gd Christmas and keep the videos coming in the New Year :). They are Informative and give us ideas ..., was up on Higher Shelf Stones about 5 weeks ago, and spent the night pitched in the same spot as in one of your vids.
Yiu have a new subscriber mate ... enjoyed watching it, seeing the gear without all the efforts to 'product place' in the hope of freebies, makes a nice change. Even the accent is ok ... though my mrs is originally from Leeds and now she is starting to slip back after whatching this LOL ... also got me reved up to get back out next week. cheers.
Stunner of a morning that Andy - I've camped on Grinah once this summer and it was claggy and damp for the most part, but still felt a special spot. I can imagine it's as good as it gets int Peak on a morning like this. Providing you have the gear to stay warm of course - and you did, big thanks for sharing the details of how you tackle it. Cheers. Rich 👍
cheers rich great place grinah stones the quieter part of the bleaklow moors.its great to be able to spend a bit of time taking it all in on mornings like that tfw.
Great video Andy, it's a place I need to tick off that, just bought a Koro so looking forward to testing that. Interesting to see you your Winter kit, great mat that, had one for a couple of years. TFS David
cheers david great place up there the quieter part of bleaklow..ive had the koro years & paired with the primus power gas it performs great.ive had that mat 3 year but didn't get to use it much last winter for obvious reasons 😒 tfw mate.
Good evening sir I also agree with the excellence of this extraordinary channel. This mountain hike and camp was extraordinary in scenery. Do you wear thermals under those down pants?
Good stuff, Andy 👌 I've been off the Tube for a bit and glad to have watched this one mate, great shooting of a nice little trip and I like the setup you've got now, that mic makes a big diffference. Also, its always good to see the kit others use 😃 Especially in light of my own recent purchases for winter camping. Some nice kit you've got there and the extra weight is worth the comfort ay? There's always a trade-off, and unless you've had the joy of experiecing such camps, many will never know the satisfaction in proportion to the effort and 'challenge' of it. I'm looking forward to seeing just how comfortable I will be in my lighter weight kit in equally low temps. Need to get my butt out of the house first though! And this Vlog has helped tremendously, Sir! ATB, Elton.
cheers Elton ayy the weight to comfort debate is always an interesting conversation ain't it lol..i have lightened a lot of my gear up but as iv'e always said im happy to carry what i need to make it comfotable & enjoyable..ill be using the cumulas quilt with the alpkit kloke instead of the skyhigh bag as much as i can over winter so im saving there..plus ive just bought the MLD duomid which is saving me a lot too..hope you get to enjoy some winter camps mate tfw.Andy.
Great to see what gear you use Andy, keeping it real and using good local Yorkshire brands I see. 👍 Just one question, what do you sleep in, do you keep the pants, down socks on and what do you wear on't top half?
my thermals are the rab nucleus grid back fleece type..i typically take the down pants off but leave the hotsocks on for sleeping in & sometimes depending on how cold it is ill keep the hooded merino top on tfw.
thanks gordon main reason for taking bag on this one was just to show my full winter set up,ill switch back to quilt & see how i get on with it now the temps are dropping.the down pants sure can help with those ratings tfw.
Just loved that, especially all the short clips in the sequence from about 16.50 to 22 mins. Good to see your winter kit as well. If you are out in the next week there is a comet (leonard) about, near the star Arcturus (the handle of the plough points to it). It will probs not be naked eye but you might get it with your Canon and a fast lens and a longish exposure. Anyway thanks for making this. ATB Phil
Top video Andy, watched you for years. I’m local to peak too, always out when I can. You scored with that clear sky. Been gagging for a clear/starry night. Last few times woke up to the clag. Always another camp eh. 🤙
Cheers mate👍🏻 some fantastic footage there, god knows how you get the sky so bright in your night shots, mine never come out that way😂 totally agree on the down pants, I’ve had a 2 nighter in my new ones & was blown away how warm/comfy they are round camp👍🏻… really interested in your SkyWatch too. Thanks again buddy
for the night shots i have a base setting i always start with..f:2.8..shutter 15 secs..iso 1600..i'll take a shot & then alter any settings to suit..the skywatch is a nice piece of kit to have its the explorer 2 ..records wind speed,max gust,temp & wind chill..tfw.
@@AndrewBeavers cheers for that buddy, I’ll definitely be looking into the SkyWatch👍🏻… be nice to keep a check on what torture we put ourselves through 😂👍🏻
Another good video. Thanks. Great photos at the end. Rab is very expensive. just checked Amazon Canada. Couldn't find a Rab hipflask lol. Are you on the single malt? I like the Grouse (a superior blend) RAB Khroma Kharve Jacket - Men's Deep Ink, XL only $1,173 W ow. There is some more affordable stuff. Definitely not Walmart prices. !!!!
thanks steve i do like my RAB gear iv'e spent many year building that kit up as it's not cheap..i drink JD tenneesse honey just a few nips whilst out on a camp rocks me off to sleep nicely tfw.
Interesting one for me. I’ve been down that road a few times to see what images I can take. At the end of the road, where you cross over the little wooden bridge, there have been a lot of people logging. I always feel that I need to keep out of their way, for safety reasons, so I’ve never ventured further than the wooden bridge. So it was interesting to see what was there. You made no mention of any logging & I didn’t see any in your video, so maybe they have moved on? Really enjoyed the video Andrew. Good to see you are fit and back out there 👍 Take care. Regards Robert.
thanks robert..yeah it seems they've moved on there's no evidence of anymore being done other than just a few piles of logs left now..hopefully they've finished with that area of the peaks tfw.

Great video Andy and thanks for running through your winter kit, just gave me a present idea for my son :)
thanks david im sure he'll love the present which ever it is you decided on tfw.
Yiu have a new subscriber mate ... enjoyed watching it, seeing the gear without all the efforts to 'product place' in the hope of freebies, makes a nice change. Even the accent is ok ... though my mrs is originally from Leeds and now she is starting to slip back after whatching this LOL ... also got me reved up to get back out next week. cheers.
thanks mate much appreciated..your'e mr's will have understood me then lol..enjoy getting back out & take care tfw.

thanks john & tfw.
Loving your work Andy . No nonsense , you'll do for me 👍🏼
thanks neil & tfw.
Cheers Andy, great video as always, great to see what kit your using, atb mate.
thanks richard & tfw.
Stunner of a morning that Andy - I've camped on Grinah once this summer and it was claggy and damp for the most part, but still felt a special spot. I can imagine it's as good as it gets int Peak on a morning like this. Providing you have the gear to stay warm of course - and you did, big thanks for sharing the details of how you tackle it. Cheers. Rich 👍
cheers rich great place grinah stones the quieter part of the bleaklow moors.its great to be able to spend a bit of time taking it all in on mornings like that tfw.
Great video Andy, it's a place I need to tick off that, just bought a Koro so looking forward to testing that. Interesting to see you your Winter kit, great mat that, had one for a couple of years. TFS David
cheers david great place up there the quieter part of bleaklow..ive had the koro years & paired with the primus power gas it performs great.ive had that mat 3 year but didn't get to use it much last winter for obvious reasons 😒 tfw mate.
Good evening sir I also agree with the excellence of this extraordinary channel. This mountain hike and camp was extraordinary in scenery. Do you wear thermals under those down pants?
thank you kind words much appreciated..the thermals i wear are rab nucleas grid back fleece bottoms & top.tfw.
Good stuff, Andy 👌 I've been off the Tube for a bit and glad to have watched this one mate, great shooting of a nice little trip and I like the setup you've got now, that mic makes a big diffference. Also, its always good to see the kit others use 😃 Especially in light of my own recent purchases for winter camping. Some nice kit you've got there and the extra weight is worth the comfort ay? There's always a trade-off, and unless you've had the joy of experiecing such camps, many will never know the satisfaction in proportion to the effort and 'challenge' of it. I'm looking forward to seeing just how comfortable I will be in my lighter weight kit in equally low temps.
Need to get my butt out of the house first though! And this Vlog has helped tremendously, Sir!
ATB,
Elton.
cheers Elton ayy the weight to comfort debate is always an interesting conversation ain't it lol..i have lightened a lot of my gear up but as iv'e always said im happy to carry what i need to make it comfotable & enjoyable..ill be using the cumulas quilt with the alpkit kloke instead of the skyhigh bag as much as i can over winter so im saving there..plus ive just bought the MLD duomid which is saving me a lot too..hope you get to enjoy some winter camps mate tfw.Andy.
Great to see what gear you use Andy, keeping it real and using good local Yorkshire brands I see. 👍 Just one question, what do you sleep in, do you keep the pants, down socks on and what do you wear on't top half?
my thermals are the rab nucleus grid back fleece type..i typically take the down pants off but leave the hotsocks on for sleeping in & sometimes depending on how cold it is ill keep the hooded merino top on tfw.
Really good watch that Andy 👌🏼
I’m not much of a winter camper tbh, but it’s great to see how it’s done properly and what kit makes it bearable. ⛺️
thanks & tfw.
That was excellent Andy. Your tent clothes alone must take you down to a decent temp. Didn’t want to risk the quilt? Gordon
thanks gordon main reason for taking bag on this one was just to show my full winter set up,ill switch back to quilt & see how i get on with it now the temps are dropping.the down pants sure can help with those ratings tfw.
@@AndrewBeavers aye I’m not at full winter setup yet but maybe soon if the snow carries on.
Just loved that, especially all the short clips in the sequence from about 16.50 to 22 mins. Good to see your winter kit as well. If you are out in the next week there is a comet (leonard) about, near the star Arcturus (the handle of the plough points to it). It will probs not be naked eye but you might get it with your Canon and a fast lens and a longish exposure. Anyway thanks for making this. ATB Phil
thanks & i'll sure have to keep an eye out for that if weve got clear sky's of course tfw.
Great Video as always 👍
thanks & tfw.
Top video Andy, watched you for years. I’m local to peak too, always out when I can. You scored with that clear sky. Been gagging for a clear/starry night. Last few times woke up to the clag. Always another camp eh. 🤙
thanks nathan yeah you've to get lucky with the clear night sky's in the peaks but when you do they can be stunning tfw.
Cheers mate👍🏻 some fantastic footage there, god knows how you get the sky so bright in your night shots, mine never come out that way😂 totally agree on the down pants, I’ve had a 2 nighter in my new ones & was blown away how warm/comfy they are round camp👍🏻… really interested in your SkyWatch too.
Thanks again buddy
for the night shots i have a base setting i always start with..f:2.8..shutter 15 secs..iso 1600..i'll take a shot & then alter any settings to suit..the skywatch is a nice piece of kit to have its the explorer 2 ..records wind speed,max gust,temp & wind chill..tfw.
@@AndrewBeavers cheers for that buddy, I’ll definitely be looking into the SkyWatch👍🏻… be nice to keep a check on what torture we put ourselves through 😂👍🏻
Another good video. Thanks. Great photos at the end.
Rab is very expensive. just checked Amazon Canada. Couldn't find a Rab hipflask lol. Are you on the single malt? I like the Grouse (a superior blend)
RAB Khroma Kharve Jacket - Men's Deep Ink, XL only $1,173 W ow. There is some more affordable stuff. Definitely not Walmart prices. !!!!
thanks steve i do like my RAB gear iv'e spent many year building that kit up as it's not cheap..i drink JD tenneesse honey just a few nips whilst out on a camp rocks me off to sleep nicely tfw.
Interesting one for me. I’ve been down that road a few times to see what images I can take. At the end of the road, where you cross over the little wooden bridge, there have been a lot of people logging. I always feel that I need to keep out of their way, for safety reasons, so I’ve never ventured further than the wooden bridge. So it was interesting to see what was there. You made no mention of any logging & I didn’t see any in your video, so maybe they have moved on? Really enjoyed the video Andrew. Good to see you are fit and back out there 👍 Take care. Regards Robert.
thanks robert..yeah it seems they've moved on there's no evidence of anymore being done other than just a few piles of logs left now..hopefully they've finished with that area of the peaks tfw.
Andy do you find it very hard to leave a camp such as this, spectacular
i sure do jeff it's hard to depart the hill when the conditions are like that i could stay there all day tfw.
Can I ask what table you. Use n can I say keep on the good work you inspired me to do a few places you camped
thanks richard.. the table is from alpkit its the splitta tfw.
Another great video Andy. And those views are amazing, love it. Nice to see your set up what litre bag have you? Seems huge.
thanks john the bag is a low alpine manaslu 55/65 tfw.
Great video Andy, some excellent kit you have. Where did you get the stove ignitor? ATB Marti
