Finally caught up with this one - I really should have a cull of my subscribe list! I think Kinder loves you back - lovely, lovely evening, just right for sitting by the tent chatting for ages. Thanks for inviting us along again. ATB ,Roger. (I could with someone who can part the clouds on some of my camps!)
I’m really chuffed my gratitude shines through in the video. This camp was a personal challenge but I know my capabilities and I am very happy in my own company therefore it was perfect. Everything aligned and I drank it right up 🫶🏼 see ya on the next one ✨⛺️❄️
Hiya Andy and Jo! What a joy it is to share my adventures with another couple! I have a few subscribers who watch my videos together which makes my day. My husband isn’t a hiker or camper so I doubt you will ever see him join me but he always shows his support in ways that means he’s always with me no matter how far away I am from the comfort of home. Buying me my Soulo certainly got some happy wife points 🤣 ATB and I’ll see ya on the next one ✨⛺️
That was possibly the most therapeutic wild camping video I've ever watched. Absolutely fabulous, inspiring, relaxing and motivating all at the same time. Loved it. I'm planning on doing the Edale Skyline next month with an overnight camp rather than slog out the 21 miles in one day and was looking for Kinder Scout Wild Camps and came across your channel, to which I've now subscribed. In the video you mentioned the sleeping bag liner giving extra warmth that you wouldn't have expected. But I swear by mine. A lot of Wild campers wouldn't go near them but I have an OEX furnace +8 liner. Coupled with my synthetic Fathom 300 Sleeping bag, it makes a massive difference. Probably not the 8 degrees they claim but certainly around 5 degrees. So my 1 degree comfort bag is now comfortable down to minus 3 or 4. Thanks again for your inspirational video.👍
It’s great to hear that you are planning the sky line. Im planning it too but I want to be a little fitter, loose some body weight and get a lighter back pack so my goals motivate me for shorter hikes with my winter kit. My shoulders were aching after carrying my stuff. Rome wasn’t built in a day so it s a work in progress. Have the best time and I hope the weather is good so you can see far reaching views for your efforts. Thank you for your kindest comment! ATB, Stay safe, respect 🙌🏻
Thank you! I always find it so humbling when other campers watch my videos whilst camping! After all they are long evenings. Mine always seem to go as quickly as the video itself and before I know it I’m waking up to greet Mr grouse 🌅
Nice to see you out Sarah so soon after your last camp and what lovely weather, just perfect for Kinder Scout, the sun really showed Kinder up in all its beauty. You did look in your element up there and it looked a lovely spot to camp, as there are so many places up there, just got to find them. I still have a bit of exploring to do up the Derwent Valley but looking at your video makes me want to return to kinder soon ...... see you on your next camp.......Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 hey Pat 👋🏻 thanks for taking time to watch this one as it’s rather like a feature length film 🍿 I was hugely motivated by the glorious weather that day and even though I couldn’t see anything the next morning I still enjoyed hiking along the ancient pathways on the moor through the peat gruffs around the misty rock friends, and through the frozen drifts. It certainly paid to be familiar with that route in the fog. I have meandered up to crow stones but yet have much to explore like yourself up there. It’s stunning isn’t? Remote and quiet just how I like it. Can hear myself think! I’m glad I’ve inspired you to get back up around kinder, now isn’t that something 🥰 ATB Sarah
I live in Ireland now but every year I come over to the Lake District. The first mountain I climb always makes me cry - its like coming home where I belong. Great video
Perfect viewing with a couple of beers after a week's work 😊 Thanks Sarah, fantastic indulgence! 👍 As for friends you'll never meet, never say never! I might be out walking one day and say 'bloody hell that's Sarah over there' and give you a wave but be too star struck to come and say hello 🤣 Been a while since I heard hands called Danny's, my dad, God rest him, used to say that when i were a kid so I'm guessing it's a northern thing?
@@pauledwards499 hey 👋🏻 ahhhh I’d love you to say hello! I met a lady sat on the top of Grinslow Knoll and she recognised me from my videos. We chatted for a while and it felt like an honour to be known for this hobby. I didn’t realise how far reaching I could be! It’s magic is that 💫 I have met quite a few folk now who stop and say hello! It’s SoloSarahB ha ha! A slight cringe moment for me that I now fully accept as a consequence of putting myself out there ❤️ it’s wonderful, so friend who I may meet one day, keep them Danny’s warm and I’ll see ya Ont’ next un’ 🤘🏻
@@SoloSarahBX Haha ok I'll definitely come and say hello if our paths cross! You're becoming quite a celeb, you'll be camping in't jungle next 😁😆 Just back from the football and my danny's are frozen! Til next time 🤩
I know this sounds corny but I get paid in peat and memories with the amount that gets dragged back through the door on my boots 🙏🏻thanks for watching!
Ey up Sarah, Enjoyed your latest camp in your favourite part of the world. I empathise with you on the emotional connection with relations who are no longer in this world,they are in a world now that changed from their old life into a new life that exists in a spiritual form that is constantly around us all the time. When I'm out in nature wherever that maybe ,I constantly reaffirm my connections with my Dad and my sister who passed away when she was a young woman in the prime of her life ,it's a great source of comfort when I talk to them,of course I can't hear them but I can see the signs that they are present all around me. Keep on with your vids,you're at one with the natural world and your channel deserves to grow. ATB Michael🥾🏕👍
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. It’s so lovely to hear your thoughts and experiences and how you’ve engaged with my video. ATB, see you on the next one ✨⛺️
Well Sarah, your video popped up and I am watching at 42 mins. It is absolutely delightful...the photography, your poetic narrative and smiley face. Wonderful! Thank you. I'll get back to it now and hopefully nothing traumatic happens to make my comment look silly.
🥹🥹🥹 thank you, what a lovely comment to read! I just watched it back myself at the same time and can’t believe how fast the time goes by. Thanks for sticking with me it’s a loooong one 🙏🏻ATB Sarah
@ I’m already looking forward to the next one now I have most of my house renovations completed 🙏🏻 just the small matter of working full time that gets in the way! See ya int’ next un ⛺️✨
Thank you so much for watching my videos. I’m glad I can share my positive outlook with you. Camping releases all the good stuff and usually induces some thoughts and feelings that I love to share. Connecting with others also makes me feel really good 😊
Hi Sarah, thank you for this beautiful vlog. I felt like you had invited us all in to your special, unique experience. So generous of you, as it looks quite an extra task to get to your pitch site, at the same time as planning and filming this wonderful video. I have been following your channel for quite a while now. As an ex-pat Yorkshireman now living in Devon, your lovely accent and down-to-earth approach to life, couple with the wonderful insights you come across on your journeys, such as your conversation with the thousand year old rocks, fills me with love and inspiration, and takes me back to my days of roaming the Dales and Peak district in my youth. Wild camping is something that has been on my bucket list for a while now, and as someone approaching retirement, but still physically fit, I find encouragement and hope in the prospect of getting out onto Dartmoor and experiencing the sunsets and rises and wonderful inversions for myself. Thanks again Sarah, long may you continue. x
What a beautiful comment to read thank you so much. You highlight exactly what my intention is and that’s to invite people along into my experience. Don’t get me wrong I go camping on occasions and don’t press the record button. Yes it is less effort and sometimes I don’t have the energy to speak out-loud to myself but I have found a great deal of comfort and satisfaction from sharing what’s in my mind. I always feel nostalgic when I hike and camp and I have noticed that I refer to my childhood memories in almost every video I make. My inner child is always in there and I reassure and love her continuously, growing up can be rough sometimes so transporting myself back to a younger playful self feels special and time slows down somewhat. I’m glad that may have inspired to in your own quest to wild camp. That is quite simple AWESOME 🤩
Well, sometimes it just gets you and as much as you want to get that over, I never can. You kind've did Sarah!! I was up on White Side near Helvellyn last week in Winter conditions and I got emotional in a similar way. Remembered my old man, the man that showed me all that in the first place, and thought of my Grandkids, who are the best, and wanted them all to see what I could see. I think in some way they're there us when we're out there, it makes me smile 😊
@@gainesy_walks thank you so much for sharing that David ❤️ some moments that we experience are sacred up there and not always easy to comprehend but I make sense of it all in my own way and it felt comforting after being a little bit painful doing this without them. We are their legacy and it runs deep through the generations…your Dad would be proud and your grandkids have an amazing teacher ✨ATB. Sarah
Hey 👋🏻 ahhh thank you that’s magic ✨ I’m glad that you enjoy listening. I have a podcast about to be published that I think you may enjoy if you enjoyed this long video. I’ll be sure to share the link and a description about what it’s about when it goes live 🙏🏻 see you on the next one ✨⛺️
That sunset 🌄🌄 was lovely. Appreciate you sharing it, I'm lucky that with my job I get to see some lovely sunsets while driving around. Never tire of them. Enjoy rest of your well earned hols take care 💜
Hey 👋🏻 you lovely human you! Thanks you again for your kind words and lovely gift. I’m really enjoying some time off to do what I want and REST. It’s so needed xxx
I love how honest and real your videos are. I love nothing more than escaping the hectic nhs to be out in the hills. Wild camped before but still yet to take the plunge solo. I think I have my new goal for 2025. Enjoying doing what you love.
You must 🙏🏻 have e that first solo and you’ll wonder why you waited so long. Nerves are important feelings that we can’t dismiss but for me they don’t stop me from enjoying experiences that are completely unique to myself and my environment. I feel very lucky that I have the means to do it and let’s face it, shift work can be a lonely life so what better way to spend days off than indulge in nature to reach that equilibrium 💫
Your channel is my go to chill out watch.At 68 I site camp and enjoy a good hike and start the day with gratitude.like yourself and many others getting into the hills,fells and mountains can give you an emotional hit.and of course I pick up tips and ideas as you talk and show us how and why you pitch and camp.my daughter now has a kiddywhiz😅cheers for your hard work.
What a beautiful comment to read this evening thank you 🙏🏻 to have viewers like yourself watch my experience makes it all the better, invisible hitchhikers someone else said and I think that’s the perfect phrase. Thanks for coming along with me ✨✨ power to the Whizzer!
It's already been said and we will echo it, "you are by far the best UA-camr". It's not actually about that for you though is it, its all about the camping and solitude that it brings you ✨️. This was absolutely beautiful to watch and the time flew by - it was no wonder it was longer than your other videos, how can you edit out what was in abundance for you on this camp along with all your cherished memories... you can't! You'r Nan Nan and grandad would be so, so proud of you, not to mention your Dad who will fondly remember you reluctantly wanting to hike as a young child, now look at you and what you are doing 😊. 200 miles is between us and Kinder and I've/we've always been fascinated by her too, as you know we have been lucky enough to spend the night camping up there and it was absolutely magical even with wind, rain and Kinder clag in the morning 😂. The 200 miles and commitments of young children hold us back on enjoying Kinder as much as we would like, our daughter has that fear of her you spoke about and it's difficult to get her up there, but she has been up twice and I've told her she should be so proud of herself. I hope oneday she learns to love her as much as we do and remember how much we loved watching you and your adventures up there that she will oneday sit and watch and explore for herself with the same excitement that we have. Our son on the other hand is similar, but not so bad 😅 he has a kite to take up and fly the next time we visit 🤣. This was beautiful Sarah thank you so much 💫🤗🔥🏕✨️
@@PaulandSadie I am very lucky to call you my friends that I have met! So honoured to have my you through the power of social media and my videos. I’ve said before, you are always with me in spirit even when distance doesn’t allow for physical connections invisible ones weave their wondrous webs and the distance no longer is a barrier for memories to be made ❤️❤️❤️⛺️⛺️❤️❤️❤️
Great camp Soulo Sara (see what i did there 🤣) i call that spot Tortoise and Rabbit Rocks because when you are approaching from Grindsbrook side it looks like a Tortoise and a Rabbit from the other with its ears flopped back. Those feelings and emotions that you expierience are very familiar to me too and i think lots of others feel exactly the same way although you feel it lot more when you are alone and more tuned in...i am certain its because we are closer to the ionosphere and when you think about it all the churches have steeples and they are cone shaped for a reason . A round the time when they were built they were the tallest man made structure around and i believe that all the pyramids and ancient structure were capped in gold because its acts as a conductor and created an ancient kind of wifi system that we could tune into . Lots of archeologists believe that . Did you now that there are over 3,000 pryramids and ancient structure around the globe that are positioned in such a way that they make a perfect geometric patern ? You have to ask yourself why that is 🤔Our inate intelligence picks up on these things which we as humans have forgotten how to articulate and it all sounds a bit woo woo to the ignorant and the misseducated and programmed 😉
I always really enjoy reading your comments Olan. Thank you for your insights and information. I am going to call it tortoise 🐢 rabbit 🐇 camp from now on. Don’t get me in the Woolpacks it’s like Noah’s ark round there 🤩 I am always happy to share my emotions on camera it helps me connect with other humans especially the ones who come back time again to watch all my stuff 🫶🏼 ATB Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Bless ya 😉 its a pleasant change because loads of Tubers pitch the tent then proceed to knock themselves out on whatever medicine of choice they decide to review 🤣😂😂 i dont blame them though because its a better place to do it rather than spending an arm and a leg in a pub with no view . Yeh the Woolpacks, your imagination can go wild in that little wonderland. ATVB and keep them coming👍
SoloSarah, You truely are one of mother nature blessed daughters😊. You seemed to be at one with the enviorment 😎. Also I have a tip for you 🧐 Your hiking poles need to be a little higher, At least elbow height, it will make a difference 👍.ATB😉
@@Johnnygee10 hello and thank you for your lovely comment and tip. Yes I think I was so into my adventure I hadn’t bothered adjusting! It’s usually something I do with haste to ease the climb but I had too much on my mind 😂 I felt like I flew up there and now it’s all a memory. But I do get to enjoy it all again because of this little video. ATB, Sarah ✨🌌⛺️
I love camping on kinder. I have to get two buses, when I am finally there I am home for the night best feeling ever well worth it ,Great video as always x ❤️
@@katiebooth2031 the journey is therapy in itself isn’t it? Nestled up there feels like home from home. I believe the place has the same effect for many of us ☺️✨⛺️
Hi Sarah. That was a fabulous video. I loved every minute. It made me sad and made me smile. I love how you have so much respect for life. You have a lovely nature about you. You are one of my favourites that I follow. Hope to see another video soon. John
@@johnkucak thank you for your beautiful comment and for telling me what the video brings out for you. I do have immense respect for life, sometimes I babble on and wonder how it comes across or what I’m trying to say, when you summit up like that for me I’d say spot on 💫 thanks a million 🙏🏻
@SoloSarahBX Hi. I think that's why I find your videos so nice. The way that you talk about your surroundings and your life and memories. You are you. Keep babbling. 😊
Thank you for taking us along with you today. You make very special videos...chatting , smiling and sharing. You really make us feel we are there with you. Thank you
No affectation, no artifice, just a beautiful,beautiful film. Thanks Sarah. The in between bit is called the Gloaming.Isn't that just lovely. You may have heard the song 'Roamin' in the gloamin' wi ma lassie by ma side . . .'
@@MikeHarlyn-lh9jo to do without affectation means it comes from only the best place, born out of a pure passion and love for it all. I’m glad that I capture this and you see it too. My narrative is simple but something different always happens that I can’t help but share with others ☺️ ahhhh it’s called the gloaming thank you 🙏🏻 my jacket glowed for some time in the orange that night 🌅
Your Thursday sunset looks like my Thursday before sunrise when I was cycling to work! Best wild camp yet and your best video I think. The feelings you get when you're alone with the beauty of nature can be overwhelming. You capture that in your videos better than anyone else I think.
@@linefinnan4387 thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🙏🏻 it was a little longer than I’d like for my videos but I kept the editing to a minimum, just felt right to share it all ✨
@@bobultimateoutdoors I know it has become a popular site so I took my chances. I’m going to enjoy finding more spots within the plateau this year, off the beaten track is best ☺️ thank you for watching Bob, ATB, Sarah
@@marklet4350 oh you could see that too right? 🙏🏻 I’m so pleased. When I look back at my videos to edit it all I couldn’t agree more thanks a million ❄️🌌
@@marklet4350 I’ve just recorded a podcast with Sarah Lister author of the Wild about Kinder podcast series. I’ve been humbled by that invitation and experience so I’ll share it when she publishes it ☺️ thanks for your kind words
@@mrjiggs3761 there were a lot of times my phone was recording complete silence as I was a bit struck for words a tell thee 😂🤫 but that video would have been 2 hr long 🥱
@SoloSarahBX you do well, it's a skill thinking of things to say, if it was me making it there'd be no talking at all or dodgy topics that would wind people up 😂😂😂
@ I love talking about things that might make folk uncomfortable too though, usually deep stuff 😂 but I mainly leave that kinda shizzle for face to face days 🤣🫶🏼
@@ptb2023 amazing! You’ve found the best hobby ⛺️✨my question would be how well do you know Kinder Scout? My first solo wild camp was with less elevation and closer to my car but this was just incase I couldn’t do it. I had all the kit but was my mind ready to trust and believe I could do it? I felt comforted by familiar ground and as long as you know the area and can settle its fab. Some people camp in their garden to test their kit but for me it was nerves that would hold me back. So after a practice setting up my tent at home, I trudged up to Derwent Edge to a site I had been many times to have lunch and accomplished my first night out. Kinder can be unforgiving and difficult to navigate when there is low visibility. It’s definitely worth getting up there to camp and I guess only you can make the decision if it’s the right place for your first one ☺️ ATB, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX veers Sarah iv not even set my tent up yet hahah but I'll try derwent edge etc I'll let it get abit drier then I'll go to local park etc and set tent up and down
I want to camp again, but I seriously need to sort out the weight I carry and maybe find a lighter tent. It doesn't help with having heart failure, although i;m on meds to help me try have a normal life.
@@RAMSEYM2402 you’ll find your way 🙏🏻 when I was missing it due to one thing or another I wanted to camp in the garden ☺️ iv swapped a few things out to get lighter and still have a way to go but the lighter stuff is expensive isn’t it? That’s why I took my time climbing up. I was thankful for the extra coat and chocolate brazils ✨
I have carried much heavier 20 years ago when I was doing some military training 🤛 these days and 2 teenagers later I’m happy to carry much lighter kit. That military burgen, rifle and helmet were a heavy bugger 😂 rations were nice and light though and seemed to go very far! When I started camping, I carried about 15kg in winter but I’ve learnt how to dial it down to make it more comfortable for my smaller frame, still got a way to go and always learning ✨⛺️
@SoloSarahBX Absolutely fantastic Sarah. I'm prepping for the Congo-Nile trail Rwanda and the Drakensberg Grand Traverse South Africa, so the food should increase my weight to about 20KG. 🤤 The only way I can do these long trails is to work on my buns with squats at the gym. 😂😂 The good thing about hiking in the UK is you don't have to give much thought about wild animals except the occasional sheep.🐑 enjoy. 😊
That sunlight when set up was amazing…..another great one 👍👍👍
@@JohnnyCurle thank you so much ✨❤️

FANTASTIC

@@gainesy_walks thank you so much for sharing that David ❤️ some moments that we experience are sacred up there and not always easy to comprehend but I make sense of it all in my own way and it felt comforting after being a little bit painful doing this without them. We are their legacy and it runs deep through the generations…your Dad would be proud and your grandkids have an amazing teacher ✨ATB. Sarah
Watching your video is like therapy. Great video wise words.
Hey 👋🏻 ahhh thank you that’s magic ✨ I’m glad that you enjoy listening. I have a podcast about to be published that I think you may enjoy if you enjoyed this long video. I’ll be sure to share the link and a description about what it’s about when it goes live 🙏🏻 see you on the next one ✨⛺️
That sunset 🌄🌄 was lovely. Appreciate you sharing it, I'm lucky that with my job I get to see some lovely sunsets while driving around. Never tire of them. Enjoy rest of your well earned hols take care 💜
Hey 👋🏻 you lovely human you! Thanks you again for your kind words and lovely gift. I’m really enjoying some time off to do what I want and REST. It’s so needed xxx
I love how honest and real your videos are. I love nothing more than escaping the hectic nhs to be out in the hills. Wild camped before but still yet to take the plunge solo. I think I have my new goal for 2025. Enjoying doing what you love.
You must 🙏🏻 have e that first solo and you’ll wonder why you waited so long. Nerves are important feelings that we can’t dismiss but for me they don’t stop me from enjoying experiences that are completely unique to myself and my environment. I feel very lucky that I have the means to do it and let’s face it, shift work can be a lonely life so what better way to spend days off than indulge in nature to reach that equilibrium 💫
Your channel is my go to chill out watch.At 68 I site camp and enjoy a good hike and start the day with gratitude.like yourself and many others getting into the hills,fells and mountains can give you an emotional hit.and of course I pick up tips and ideas as you talk and show us how and why you pitch and camp.my daughter now has a kiddywhiz😅cheers for your hard work.
What a beautiful comment to read this evening thank you 🙏🏻 to have viewers like yourself watch my experience makes it all the better, invisible hitchhikers someone else said and I think that’s the perfect phrase. Thanks for coming along with me ✨✨ power to the Whizzer!
It's already been said and we will echo it, "you are by far the best UA-camr". It's not actually about that for you though is it, its all about the camping and solitude that it brings you ✨️. This was absolutely beautiful to watch and the time flew by - it was no wonder it was longer than your other videos, how can you edit out what was in abundance for you on this camp along with all your cherished memories... you can't! You'r Nan Nan and grandad would be so, so proud of you, not to mention your Dad who will fondly remember you reluctantly wanting to hike as a young child, now look at you and what you are doing 😊. 200 miles is between us and Kinder and I've/we've always been fascinated by her too, as you know we have been lucky enough to spend the night camping up there and it was absolutely magical even with wind, rain and Kinder clag in the morning 😂. The 200 miles and commitments of young children hold us back on enjoying Kinder as much as we would like, our daughter has that fear of her you spoke about and it's difficult to get her up there, but she has been up twice and I've told her she should be so proud of herself. I hope oneday she learns to love her as much as we do and remember how much we loved watching you and your adventures up there that she will oneday sit and watch and explore for herself with the same excitement that we have. Our son on the other hand is similar, but not so bad 😅 he has a kite to take up and fly the next time we visit 🤣. This was beautiful Sarah thank you so much 💫🤗🔥🏕✨️
@@PaulandSadie I am very lucky to call you my friends that I have met! So honoured to have my you through the power of social media and my videos. I’ve said before, you are always with me in spirit even when distance doesn’t allow for physical connections invisible ones weave their wondrous webs and the distance no longer is a barrier for memories to be made ❤️❤️❤️⛺️⛺️❤️❤️❤️
You are special 💖 I hope you know that! Thankyou xx
Great camp Soulo Sara (see what i did there 🤣) i call that spot Tortoise and Rabbit Rocks because when you are approaching from Grindsbrook side it looks like a Tortoise and a Rabbit from the other with its ears flopped back. Those feelings and emotions that you expierience are very familiar to me too and i think lots of others feel exactly the same way although you feel it lot more when you are alone and more tuned in...i am certain its because we are closer to the ionosphere and when you think about it all the churches have steeples and they are cone shaped for a reason . A round the time when they were built they were the tallest man made structure around and i believe that all the pyramids and ancient structure were capped in gold because its acts as a conductor and created an ancient kind of wifi system that we could tune into . Lots of archeologists believe that . Did you now that there are over 3,000 pryramids and ancient structure around the globe that are positioned in such a way that they make a perfect geometric patern ? You have to ask yourself why that is 🤔Our inate intelligence picks up on these things which we as humans have forgotten how to articulate and it all sounds a bit woo woo to the ignorant and the misseducated and programmed 😉
I always really enjoy reading your comments Olan. Thank you for your insights and information. I am going to call it tortoise 🐢 rabbit 🐇 camp from now on. Don’t get me in the Woolpacks it’s like Noah’s ark round there 🤩 I am always happy to share my emotions on camera it helps me connect with other humans especially the ones who come back time again to watch all my stuff 🫶🏼 ATB
Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX Bless ya 😉 its a pleasant change because loads of Tubers pitch the tent then proceed to knock themselves out on whatever medicine of choice they decide to review 🤣😂😂 i dont blame them though because its a better place to do it rather than spending an arm and a leg in a pub with no view . Yeh the Woolpacks, your imagination can go wild in that little wonderland. ATVB and keep them coming👍
SoloSarah, You truely are one of mother nature blessed daughters😊. You seemed to be at one with the enviorment 😎. Also I have a tip for you 🧐 Your hiking poles need to be a little higher, At least elbow height, it will make a difference 👍.ATB😉
@@Johnnygee10 hello and thank you for your lovely comment and tip. Yes I think I was so into my adventure I hadn’t bothered adjusting! It’s usually something I do with haste to ease the climb but I had too much on my mind 😂 I felt like I flew up there and now it’s all a memory. But I do get to enjoy it all again because of this little video. ATB, Sarah ✨🌌⛺️
I love camping on kinder. I have to get two buses, when I am finally there I am home for the night best feeling ever well worth it ,Great video as always x ❤️
@@katiebooth2031 the journey is therapy in itself isn’t it? Nestled up there feels like home from home. I believe the place has the same effect for many of us ☺️✨⛺️
great video Sarah, great spot and weather. love to hear your stories with a lovely accent. thanks and will wait for the next one.
@@iantaylor5618 thank you for watching. I had to tell my Kinder love story, now I am complete ☺️✨
Hi Sarah. That was a fabulous video. I loved every minute. It made me sad and made me smile. I love how you have so much respect for life. You have a lovely nature about you. You are one of my favourites that I follow. Hope to see another video soon. John
@@johnkucak thank you for your beautiful comment and for telling me what the video brings out for you. I do have immense respect for life, sometimes I babble on and wonder how it comes across or what I’m trying to say, when you summit up like that for me I’d say spot on 💫 thanks a million 🙏🏻
@SoloSarahBX Hi. I think that's why I find your videos so nice. The way that you talk about your surroundings and your life and memories. You are you. Keep babbling. 😊
Thank you for taking us along with you today. You make very special videos...chatting , smiling and sharing. You really make us feel we are there with you. Thank you
@@sallyohalloran6650 you are most welcome Sally. My experience is richer when it’s shared ☺️
No affectation, no artifice, just a beautiful,beautiful film. Thanks Sarah.
The in between bit is called the Gloaming.Isn't that just lovely. You may have heard the song 'Roamin' in the gloamin' wi ma lassie by ma side . . .'
@@MikeHarlyn-lh9jo to do without affectation means it comes from only the best place, born out of a pure passion and love for it all. I’m glad that I capture this and you see it too. My narrative is simple but something different always happens that I can’t help but share with others ☺️ ahhhh it’s called the gloaming thank you 🙏🏻 my jacket glowed for some time in the orange that night 🌅
Well Sarah that was superb!!! You looked so chilled. Good on you girl❤
Thank you so much ☺️ I was definitely chilled up there, still thinking about it ❄️✨
Your Thursday sunset looks like my Thursday before sunrise when I was cycling to work! Best wild camp yet and your best video I think. The feelings you get when you're alone with the beauty of nature can be overwhelming. You capture that in your videos better than anyone else I think.
@@songasport I second that overwhelm…it’s the best kind. I buzz off it for weeks ✨ thank you for your kind feedback 💫
This is the first video I've seen from you, really enjoyed it, thanks for bringing us along ❤
@@linefinnan4387 thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 🙏🏻 it was a little longer than I’d like for my videos but I kept the editing to a minimum, just felt right to share it all ✨
my fav bit was eaten the samwich. brill
@@malcduck9694 tasty 😂 I don’t like wasting on camera but sod it am posh nah
With me smoked salmon 🍣 😂
You are by far the best wild camper on UA-cam. I love the stories you tell and could listen to you for much longer. Thank you.👍⛺️👍
@@tartanspear ha ha! What a lovely thing to say! I dunno, I can’t half talk some tripe 😂🤘🏻❤️
Wow you picked a lovely day Sarah, very jealous!
@@jaxson6133 sometimes everything just works out right? As you could see I thoroughly bathed in that day and night ✨🌌
Camped there last August and took half a bin bag home of rubbish I found laying about! It’s very annoying 😡 Great video btw.
@@bobultimateoutdoors I know it has become a popular site so I took my chances. I’m going to enjoy finding more spots within the plateau this year, off the beaten track is best ☺️ thank you for watching Bob, ATB, Sarah
Thanks
Ahhhh wow thank you! Such a kind gift and appreciation of your feedback for me is what makes me want to record future camps ✨🎤
Great video Sarah 👍
@@Dore60 thanks a million 🌅🫶🏼
I think kinder brings something out of you .your gran would be proud 🎉
@@marklet4350 oh you could see that too right? 🙏🏻 I’m so pleased. When I look back at my videos to edit it all I couldn’t agree more thanks a million ❄️🌌
Wordsworth of kinder😊
@@marklet4350 I’ve just recorded a podcast with Sarah Lister author of the Wild about Kinder podcast series. I’ve been humbled by that invitation and experience so I’ll share it when she publishes it ☺️ thanks for your kind words
Super video. I have just ordered a sand Soulo too as it looks nice.
@@hedleythorne sand is such a lovely muted colour and hides perfectly in most seasons in the UK. Looks great, performs even better ⛺️✨
AAaaat ageeyan thee! hehe ace as always, looked lush up there! ;)
@@mrjiggs3761 there were a lot of times my phone was recording complete silence as I was a bit struck for words a tell thee 😂🤫 but that video would have been 2 hr long 🥱
@SoloSarahBX you do well, it's a skill thinking of things to say, if it was me making it there'd be no talking at all or dodgy topics that would wind people up 😂😂😂
@ I love talking about things that might make folk uncomfortable too though, usually deep stuff 😂 but I mainly leave that kinda shizzle for face to face days 🤣🫶🏼
@@SoloSarahBX 😂👍🙌
Hi Sarah. Your camped at "Rhino Rock"
That name suits it perfectly ☺️
Hello as a novice to this with all the gear now would you advice to doing kinder on my 1st stay over great video by the way kind regards paul
@@ptb2023 amazing! You’ve found the best hobby ⛺️✨my question would be how well do you know Kinder Scout? My first solo wild camp was with less elevation and closer to my car but this was just incase I couldn’t do it. I had all the kit but was my mind ready to trust and believe I could do it? I felt comforted by familiar ground and as long as you know the area and can settle its fab. Some people camp in their garden to test their kit but for me it was nerves that would hold me back. So after a practice setting up my tent at home, I trudged up to Derwent Edge to a site I had been many times to have lunch and accomplished my first night out. Kinder can be unforgiving and difficult to navigate when there is low visibility. It’s definitely worth getting up there to camp and I guess only you can make the decision if it’s the right place for your first one ☺️ ATB, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX veers Sarah iv not even set my tent up yet hahah but I'll try derwent edge etc I'll let it get abit drier then I'll go to local park etc and set tent up and down
@ perfect start! ATB, Sarah
Don't supose u saw a black stuff bag or a red pegs on grindslow knoll did ya 😂 lost it the other Monday with all that snow!
Didn’t see anything nope! Hope you had a cracking camp ⛺️ ❄️
@SoloSarahBX oh I did! I posted it if you fancy having a nosey if haven't already :) 😀
@SoloSarahBX yea it was pretty good :)
@ blows a gale on there! Gorgeous spot though right on the edge of the views nice one 🙌🏻
@SoloSarahBX oh yh was 45mph winds 😂😂 glad my tent was up to the task haha!
❤❤🎉🎉😀😀😀😀❤️❤️
@@WilliamPobjoy ✨✨🌌🌌☺️☺️☺️🌌🌌✨✨
I want to camp again, but I seriously need to sort out the weight I carry and maybe find a lighter tent. It doesn't help with having heart failure, although i;m on meds to help me try have a normal life.
@@RAMSEYM2402 you’ll find your way 🙏🏻 when I was missing it due to one thing or another I wanted to camp in the garden ☺️ iv swapped a few things out to get lighter and still have a way to go but the lighter stuff is expensive isn’t it? That’s why I took my time climbing up. I was thankful for the extra coat and chocolate brazils ✨
12kg.,😂. My pack weighed in at 18kg and that was just for a 14km training walk. 😂😂😂. I still have to add 10 day of food.😂😂
I have carried much heavier 20 years ago when I was doing some military training 🤛 these days and 2 teenagers later I’m happy to carry much lighter kit. That military burgen, rifle and helmet were a heavy bugger 😂 rations were nice and light though and seemed to go very far! When I started camping, I carried about 15kg in winter but I’ve learnt how to dial it down to make it more comfortable for my smaller frame, still got a way to go and always learning ✨⛺️
@SoloSarahBX Absolutely fantastic Sarah. I'm prepping for the Congo-Nile trail Rwanda and the Drakensberg Grand Traverse South Africa, so the food should increase my weight to about 20KG. 🤤 The only way I can do these long trails is to work on my buns with squats at the gym. 😂😂 The good thing about hiking in the UK is you don't have to give much thought about wild animals except the occasional sheep.🐑 enjoy. 😊
@ absolutely! Never have to think about that. Stay safe and enjoy those awesome adventures 😍
