Tonight I head up to a new camping spot for me. Staring from Bowden Bridge Car Park in Hayfield I make my way up to the Kinder Plateau, via Kinder Low trig point and on to Edale Rocks.
Nothing like getting out there! I find the rain hitting the tent rather relaxing. No matter the weather it is still a great adventure. It's all about me time and rebooting the system for the next week ahead. Keep em coming
What a difference a day makes eh! Well, we really lucked out the night before judging by your conditions mate.. but you got a rainbow!! 🌈👍 I enjoyed watching you explore.. its great joining up the dots by taking different routes up to different areas of Kinder isnt it? That Ashop Head ish route, we've done that in some terrible conditions and come down in the dark.. not again!! ☺️ Aww mate, so you had a bit of a rough night? Well, look at it as, you get them now and again, so you've got that out the way now and it means your next one will be an absolute corker! 👌 All the best Bri and see ya on't next 'un. ✨⛺✨💚
Hi Mats, thanks for another great comment, love to read all your comments mate. You're absolutely right regarding joining the dots with Kinder, I get a great sense of achievement as I become more familiar with it. I love the camps where I'm not too sure where exactly I will pitch, it just adds to the sense of adventure. I'm sure you will prove correct regarding the next camp being a corker! All the best to you and Donna 😀
What a nice relaxing watch Bri. Well done for climbing Kinder Low End, it looked well steep. I'll definitely be up for a trip to Mad Woman's Stones with you & Tim. If it's soggy or there's not enough space @MWS, then the quarry at Crookstone Knoll is nearby as a back-up plan B camp site.👍
Thanks once again Steve, yes it was quite a slog in that heat with the backpack on, but got there in the end! I will come back to you about organising the MWS camp, hopefully next week as I'm away for the weekend. Good to know you have a back up plan if we need it mate. Cheers!
Takes me back, my first ever wildcamp on kinder scout was right next to edale rocks (my first 2 CZcams videos on my channel are of that camp) I've also camped on swines back. Nice video, very calming 👍🏻
Cheers matey 👍👍 It is a lovely area, but it was a shame that it was so busy. Wild camping has become mainstream it seems! I'll have a look at the videos you mentioned. Take it easy mate.
Hi Andy, thanks for watching and commenting. I have subbed your channel mate, and I will check out your video, it's great to compare notes on an area. Take it easy. Bri.
Such a shame that you didn’t get enough sleep but I guess that’s the way it is on occasion. I’ve been looking at Tunstall Farm House on rightmove, what a location but sadly considerably beyond my budget! I absolutely love Kinder Scout and still have parts to explore and Cloughs to scramble after many Peak District visits in the past 29 years. Kinder Low-end is pretty hard going, I find descending it hard on my knees, that’s for sure. There is a path off to the left not far from the drystone wall, it’s very indistinct initially but becomes clear after a short distance. It offers a longer but less steep route up that side of Kinder. If you like a scramble, I heartily recommend Crowden Clough on the Southern side, it’s a bit more exciting than Grindsbrook (although taking the right hand fork near the top of Grindsbrook provides some meaningful scrambling), I also highly recommend Nether Red Brook on the Northern Edge, we just walked past Ashop Head along the base of the Northern Edge until we got there. It was fun. Blackden Brook is next on the list, or maybe “the Cloughs” near Jacobs Ladder. Glad you had an enjoyable walk back to Bowden Bridge. I’’m back in Hayfield in four weeks time and can’t wait!
Hi Greg, a big thanks for your comment, really enjoyed reading it, I think I got a notification that you have subbed as well? Thanks for that 🙂You're right about Kinder Low end, it's quite a slog with a heavy backpack! I'm grateful for all of your recommendations and hope to check them out in future hikes/camps. Hope you get great weather for your walks when you'r back in Hayfield 👍👍
@@Glossopwildcamp You are welcome! Whilst it comes to mind, one of the most beautiful views is found at Crow Stones and Crow Stones Edge, on the Howden Moors at the top end of the Derwent Valley. The view is epic over the Howden and Derwent reservoirs. Andrew Beavers did a wild camp video up that way which shows it very well. There is a spring nearby for a water source too. The Crow Stones are quite large and mostly climable too! It’s pretty remote and not too many people go there. I either park at Kings Tree near Slippery Stones near the Howden Reservoir or tackle the journey from Langsett Reservoir. Some paths are fairly indistinct across the Howden Moors but the most you explore it, the easier it becomes. There are some plane wrecks tucked away up there too. I expect you are aware of Derwent Edge too, a few miles along past Howden Edge, that is full of great views and rock formations! Another great place for a wild camp!
I did my very first Kinder wild camp at Edale Rocks, I pitched right by the path and didnt see anyone between 6pm and 7am. I nearly always head off from Edale, either up Jacons Ladder or more directly up The Nab or Grindslow. Im hoping to do Mad Womans Stones myself this week, so looking forward to your video of that. Good video once again, thank you! When you were up there, I was pitched almost at the very top of Grindslow, so you are probably on the sunset timelapse that I did!
Thanks Phil. I assume it was particularly busy due to the solstice. How was your camp? Looking forward to your video- on your superior Pocket 3 camera! I'm still saving to upgrade mine. I hope your camp at Mad Woman's Stones is epic mate 👍
@@Glossopwildcamp I'm still fighting with the pocket 3, operator error! Much better than phone camera but you need more care to use it. Might do seal stones instead... We shall see how climbing up grindsbrook goes!
@@PhilWaud Grindsbrook, ugh, not a fan personally, a real slog! Hopefully the Pocket 3 will be very similar to the 2 to use. Just stick it on auto everything and you will instantly get good results. Mine has a Pro mode, but it means adjusting it for every scene so I don't really bother with it.
@@Glossopwildcamp I love climbing the Nab, but then I need water so have to walk around to grindsbrook anyway. The issue with the osmo is framing, but I'm getting used to it and making it behave.
I think you're right, I have just taken a look on Google Earth, it's the path that takes you up past Kinder Dam and juts off left up over the moor, past Carr Meadow and the path continues to the right of the A624 up Chunal, ending at the stile opposite Monks Road.
Great video again Bri, enjoy seeing our local area, keep them coming. But, im not so sure of your Kilchoman pronunciation, i may be talking rubbish but think it could be pronounced as 'c' rather than 'ch'. Have you ever visited Islay? Fabulous place, not just the whisky but the wildlife too 😊
Thank you Debbie 🙂 I do like to pronounce things correctly, perhaps if If I can find a Scottish person on CZcams that is reviewing that whisky I will find my answer! I will come back to you.

top vid, looks great up there...46% Islay ..lush...and light too.
Thanks very much! Yes, Islay is my personal fave single malt by a country mile.

Hi how are you ? Very nice vidéo as Always, one like+
Than you very much, it's always great to hear from you my friend 🙂
That Bridal way i reckon brings you out on the opposite side of carr meadow farm near little hayfield.

I've a friend up there and have asked her, I think actually it could be kil ho man! Will come back to you too! 😊
The consensus is Kil-ho-man, so if I ever do visit the area, I will be armed with the correct pronunciation 😂
😊
