  • In this video you can join me for a wild camp on Kinder Scout. After a bit of difficulty finding water, I ended up pitched near Kinder Downfall. I was using my DD Superlight Tarp as part of my compact one or two night wild camping setup in my Osprey Stratos 36 backpack.
    Kit used in this video:
    DD Tarps Superlight Tarp Tent - amzn.to/3m3SqG8
    Osprey Stratos 36 - amzn.to/3jNESvS
    Snugpak Softie Elite 2 - amzn.to/3CPKSNq

    Believe me Des, the older you get the harder it gets and if you leave it for to long in between trips, you lose the fitness that you gained from the last one, So therefore you have to keep at it, that is if you want to stay on top of it. I have done 44 tramps (hikes) so far this year and I'm 74 have been in the mountains for over 50 years and still enjoy it. An old trick that we use over here if there is a lack of water is to wrap a T- shirt around your ankle and walk through the long grass in the early morning dew. When wet wring it out into your billy and boil .Have done this many a time when up on the tops, it's a life saver. all the best for your future walks. Cheers from NZ

      That's great going at 74! You're absolutely right, it gets harder and harder to regain lost fitness. I have a recurring back problem, and sometimes I can do very little to remain fit. Hopefully a couple more backpacking trips should see me right again!
      I love the T-shirt trick👍 I'll remember that one! In the area I camped, water is usually available a little lower down, as the streams reappear from the very porous rock. So it wouldn't have been a real problem.
      Many thanks for watching & for your interesting comment👍 All the best and happy hiking👍👍

    Even if I didn't look at the title seeing that train shot you just know you were locked and loaded for a camp somewhere. This put a smile on my face for sure You seemed really chilled and when that sun was setting there was a moment of peace and lovely colours..Well worth the 11 miles. A little worrying when you couldn't find water ..but you certainly found it the day after in that rain lol. I bet your glad you packed the waterproofs. Fantastic wild camp as always with some great shots and hopefully we all kept you company along the way. Keep up the great work. Stay safe😁👍🥾🥾🥃🥃

      Funnily enough, I was back at Hayfield C&CC with a mate for a few days this week. Probably mine and Maria's favourite site, as it's so easy as a quick getaway for us. Loads of great walks from there... and have paid homage to Mr. Lowe ourselves there previously 👍🙂

    We like hiking but I don't relish the uphill stuff. Good on ya for getting out tent camping in the rain,,, I'm afraid I've gotten soft and just don't do that any longer LOL!!

      Hey, you seemed to be doing fine on those hills on the last video I watched! 👍😁 I do love getting out with the small tent still. My bad back has been preventing me recently, but I try and keep going as often as I can!
      All the best to you both! Have a wonderful day👍

    Great to see you back out wild camping Des and the industrial heritage at the start of your walk looked interesting, Ive never been around there. The drizzly night was unexpected as I thought it was never going to rain ever again 🤣
    Pleased to hear your back is better, alas my poor leg and knee is not brilliant but I did manage 14 miles with a full pack on the flat yesterday. Tempted to camp local Tommorow so I can enjoy the fullish moon.
    We shall see.
    Kind regards to you and the Mrs

      Thanks Dave! That area of New Mills (Torrs Valley and Millennium Walkway) is well worth a visit 👍
      Sorry to hear your knee is still giving you grief, but 14 miles isn't too shabby!
      Rain on Kinder! Whatever next! 😅

    That looked a really knackering walk in mate especially with the pack, and amazing that the water courses had, I say had, dried up.
    Probably hadn’t the next day!!!

      Hi Dave. Apologies for the slow response...been away in the van all week. The forecasters (even mountain weather) didn't predict the rain, but all adds to the fun, and the ground certainly needed it!
      It is so beautiful up there! I've been walking in the area again this week. Doing a few old favourite walks! 😁

    Des you said this wasn't the best wild video but I loved it , one of my favourites of yours . I loved the walk up past the Waterfall and seeing the beautiful church and was curious as I think you said your walking poles held up the tent ? So is this a thing that people do or just you ? That's genius to save space and weight . We have never wild camped before because I like to cap more luxuriously ! It's horrible packing up in the rain though, it happened to us last week out of the blue. Loved seeing your camp set up . Great video Des . Loved this one :) ~ Anna

    • @DesGreene
      @DesGreene  Před 2 lety

      Bore da, Anna! Apologies for the slow response. I've been away on a bit more of a luxurious camp in the van this week! 😁
      Yes, there are quite a number of small walking pole tents you can get these days. Really light weight for backpacking! Mine uses two poles, but you can get some tents that only need a single pole. That rain always seems to show up when you're packing away, doesn't it? 😂 Oh well, all part of the fun!
      Many thanks for watching! Hope yourself & Alf have a great weekend! Hwyl! 👍😊

  • @SetForAdventures

    Great stuff Des liked the setup with the pole tent ⛺️ save a bit of weight that(they seem in vogue now )
    When you where heading for the downfall I was thinking he’s going to be out of luck as few other camp hike channel have struck a blank up there with regards water
    But all was well 🙏🏼👍😊
    Miserable walk out don’t blame you for getting the bus (good call)
    Great film though Des really enjoyed this one 👍😊
    Best wishes Simon 😊🙏🏼⛰

    • @DesGreene
      @DesGreene  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi Simon. This one is a bit more of a fiddle than some of the single pole ones, but you don't have an internal pole getting in the way. It's a nice 2 to 3 ish season tent👍 River Kinder was only just flowing, so not ideal really. I noticed this week (after no more rain) that the stream flowing down into Oaken Clough (near Edale Cross) still had a decent flow, so will bear that in mind for future👍
