The £40 pound pass doesn't cover county council car parks, only peak district authority car parks. The edale car park pass is £130 every quarter.

Hi Cozzy and thanks for watching.🙂 There are tons of places around Edale to camp at. As well as Kinder Scout which the plateau covers 5 square miles, there's also the great ridge on the other side of the vale of Edale. You also have nearby, Bleaklow and the Derwent Valley areas. Kinder Scout is particularly good as it's the highest place in the Peak District with some great views if you camp along the edge of the plateau. Also, the place isn't patrolled, so you're not in danger of getting moved on. I hope that you have a great camp and If you have any questions about any of the spots featured in my videos, then feel free to ask mate.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps thanks so much mate, ive camped before but it's been years, just don't want my mate to have a bad first experience his first time that's all. gonna binge your videos today once work is done with. Love what I've seen so far keep it up 👍

@@cozzy1350 A lot of my older videos (before I could afford a decent camera) were filmed on my £75 quid Tesco android, so they're not the best quality Cozzy. I just thought I'd warn you.👍🙂

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps content, knowledge and information is more important than video quality my friend. Just got home from work, popped kettle on going to sit in the garden and watch a few vids 😁👍

Hi Fraser. The Klymit mat is quite controversial when it comes to its insulation R-value rating. When I first bought it, I intended to use it as my winter mat only. The first time that I took it out in -2'C temps, I was cold. Klymit states that the R-value is 4.4 so I should have been warm, however, on closer inspection the actual ASTM R-value is 1.9. Klymit claim that the ASTM testing method doesn't take into account the design of the pad which allows your down (it has to be down) bag to loft up underneath you, thus providing extra insulation. My solution was to buy an ExPed R-value 5.2 mat to use during winter, and I've relegated the Klymit down to using as my 3 season pad now. My rule of thumb for using the Klymit pad, is that it's good down to temperatures of around +2'C.👍

Thanks for watching mate.👍 The humble clothes peg is the most useful piece of camping equipment ever, I reckon.🙂

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps I use them to if I use a Tarp.... 🤣

@@madriverrob Cheers Rob. I have a solid fabric inner for it, but I forgot about it. If I'd remembered, then I would have used it last winter.🙂

Cheers Dom.👍 I dunno what it is with the Sheep these days, they seem to be tamer lol.🙂

Thanks for watching mate, and also, for taking the time to post that comment. Both are appreciated.🙂 If you ever have any questions about the routes in my videos, then feel free to ask and have a great camp.👍

Thanks for watching Steve and sorry to learn about your horrible night. At least it appears that I brought a smile to your face, as do your videos to mine.👍 I'm scheduled to take the new monster winter tent out for a July test night this Weds (possibly a 2 nighter). A video will be forthwith after.🙂

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps Great I will be looking forward to seeing it. I hope the weather changes for the good, for the adventure (bucketing it down at the moment🤣🤣🤣

Cheers for watching.👍 As the ancient Greeks would say, 'Nothing to excess' mate.🙂

Likewise Craig, it was top to hang out with you for a while.🙂 I'll look forward to your video mate.👍

Cheers Ian. As I mentioned in the video, it was great to meet you both (and I'm known for not mincing my words🙂), I sincerely meant it mate.👍

Thanks for watching Steve. If you need any advice on the routes in my videos, then feel free to ask mate. 👍

Cheers Mats and thanks for the comments mate.👍 I'll definitely try it with the Tarpstar. My next camp on Weds is gonna be a new winter tent test night in July lol.🙂

Cheers Fraser, I hope that it doesn't disappoint mate.🤣

Thanks for the nice comment Bri.🙂 I've had a notification that you've also got a new video. I'll be watching it soon mate.👍

Thanks for watching Phil.👍

strangely, the car park doesn’t allow over night parking, but plenty of room on the road up, if you pick your time.

Hi Maxine and thanks for watching plus the comment.🙂 As GH02 mentioned, there are plenty of places to park where there aren't any double yellow lines along the road.👍

It was a top camp Dave, I really had a good time and the hours flew by on that evening. I'm looking forward to the upcoming group camp with Gav & Phil, however, I guess that will postpone our Watershed trip slightly lol.🤣

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps I watched the vid Steve, brilliant. I’m pleased to hear that and look forward to it too. We probably could have done it this week Steve but I have stuff on and also Saturday night been invited to camp with W pickersgill and W boothan on a bushcraft site here in Leicestershire so looking forward to that. Be like a campfire and stuff. 👍🙏🍻

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps I’m away in the Isle of Man Steve from the 17 th Aug to the 29th🙏

@@DaveGoodman1959 That sounds ace Dave.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps morning Steve👍

Cheers mate for the feedback and support, it's appreciated.👍🙂

Nice one Mark, thanks for watching mate.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps maybe catch you one day on kinder mate 👍

Thanks for watching Jeff and for taking the time to post that nice comment, it's good to know that you enjoyed watching it. Cheers mate.👍

Thanks for the comment Peter, it was especially great to learn that you're enjoying the Tarpstar. Dunno if I've ever mentioned to you, that the way I pitch the Tarpstar to guarantee what I think of a proper pitch lol, is as follows... 1) Ignore the instructions from Alpkit (even if they put the correct instructions in the bag lol). 2) Peg out each corner, getting the edges in-between as taught as possible (make sure that corners are at right angles). 3) Climb inside and stick your pole up as far as you can physically heave it, then lock it into position (this is where my method most differs from what I guess Alpkit recommends).🙂 4) Stick the other 4 pegs in along the fly and tighten all. 5) Crawl inside and attach the inner then tighten it at the top buckle. I didn't mean that to be patronising mate, just helpful.👍

Not patronising at all my friend cheers for the advice 👍

Cheers Hardy, I'm gonna give it a go the next time I take the Tarpstar out. My next camp is going to be a test night in my new Alpkit Tetri on Weds. A winter tent test in the summer lol.🙂

They were definitely Cashews Paul.🙂 Thanks for watching that far, and for putting up with my ramblings.👍

Thanks for watching mate, and for taking the time to post a comment, both are appreciated.👍 I used to own a Geertop bivvy, it was in a camouflage print and size wise it was very similar in dimensions to the OEX Phoxx 1 v2. However, the guideline attachment at the rear of the shelter came away and it continued to tear the sewing seam, so I had to return it. I like hooped bivvy's when I don't want to use a tarp, but as you've mentioned, a tarp & bivvy setup is better. Around a month ago, I did a tarp & bivvy video where I used an OEX Expedition Tarp, which cost me around £25 quid, and an Alpkit Hunka bivvy, which cost me around £20 quid. Cheap and cheerful but very effective.🙂

Thanks for watching mate. The Tarpstar has become my favourite tent. The weight v size v cost is superb. It's wind gust performance is amazing being a pyramid tent. I've had it out in 50mph+ met forecast gusts, and once my mate had his wind speed measuring gizmo which showed 48mph, both times the tent was rock solid. If Alpkit made a solid fabric inner for the tent to stop the wind chill and retain heat, then I would have used it throughout last winter, because it's the perfect shape to shed snow.👍

Fermented parsley juice Mike, does it have any alcohol content?👍 If it does you good, then bite the bullet and say that it's bloody awful. Show that Parsley who's boss.🙂

Thanks for watching mate, and also, for taking the time to post a comment. Both are appreciated.🙂 In the Peak District, I tend to do all my camping in the Dark Peak, in particular, what I call the holy trinity; Bleaklow, Derwent & the Kinder areas. Out of those three areas, the best place where your pretty much guaranteed not to be moved on is up on Kinder Scout. The Woolpacks is easily accessible up on Kinder, although it's a popular place and can get busy. An alternative would be to head towards Kinder Downfall and pitch there. It's still relatively easy to get to but there's less people around. Both places, which I mentioned, are on the edge path which goes around Kinder and can be easily identified on a map.👍

@@Hengists_Wild_Campsthank you so much for your reply. I'll be near kinder I think so will give that a go 😊

Bloody hell Steve, what a way to start the day. They would have given me a heart attack with them banging on the door like that, at that time. I'm glad that they had got the wrong bloke and that it all turned out nicely in the wash.👍 Thanks for watching mate and I'll secretly stash my biccy's next time.🙂

Thanks for watching Michael. I appreciate the feedback on the footage. This is my 2nd ever video in 4K. Even for me, when watching it on my telly (and if my crappy broadband doesn't start buffering lol), then 4K looks a lot better on my screen.👍

Cheers Beks. The northern edge is my favourite too. It's more wild, rugged and isolated. Also, the views down the Ashop valley are something else to behold. I love it.🙂 Thanks for watching.👍

I never get bored of the place Chris. Kinder is so big with so many places to camp at, for me, it looks different every time I go there. I love the place. If you want some company on your Kinder trip Chris, then let me know. I may be heading up there on Mon, possibly for a 2 nighter. Rumour has it that the weather may improve.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

@Hengists_Wild_Camps I can't make Monday unfortunately mate but will give you the heads up. 👍

I agree Mats, the northern edge views are great. Jannu is a top Dog. She always puts a smile on my face. Btw, it was 12.05pm (so technically not breakfast lol) when I cracked that beer open. As I said, "the sun is just past its zenith".🙂

Cheers Dom and thanks for the comment mate.👍

Thanks mate.👍 Hopefully, it may be of some help to somebody?🙂

It is a great spot Bri. Unless someone leaves the main path and then stumbled upon you, then nobody would know that you were there. I've not seen many videos which show the 7 min crossing, so I thought that was worthy of a mention. Also, I thought that I'd film the Bivvy Rock, because as I mentioned in the video, it could possibly save your life if the weather was bad. Spreading that kind of information is a worthwhile thing to do, I reckon.👍 Thanks for watching mate.🙂

I thought it looked familiar Tim.🙂 I've camped at that spot quite a few times, it's even in some of my older videos. I like it because you can't be seen from the path and it's fairly sheltered from the wind. Thanks for watching mate.👍

lol mate, about the 2 fingers... I guess that I've just got a grip on the situation.👍 Hmm chocolate. After reding your comment, I wish that I had some in the house now, or that I wasn't too lazy to go out and buy some.🙂

Cheers mate. I do like that spot as you can't be seen from the path and it's fairly sheltered from the wind. I've camped there quite a few times. With regard to the pad, I've been in touch with Klymit and I'm now waiting for them to get back to me. I bought the pad back in November 2021. The pad has a 'limited' lifetime warranty, so I'm expecting them to use the 'limited' part as a get out clause and say that it's down to natural wear and tear. However, I'll only find out by asking, which is what I've done.🙂 In the meantime, I'll use one of my other pads.👍

Yum Fox and thanks for making me feel hungry as I've just woken up with nowt in the kitchen but frozen food. I'm tempted to go to Tesco now, to buy some bacon lol.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

Aye Paul, northern edge is much better than the soft southern poncy edge lol.🙂 Thanks for watching mate.👍

Thanks Watty.👍 I fired off an email to Klymit customer support, as the pad is supposed o have a lifetime guarantee. They replied that I have to send them some required info' first. However, the so called lifetime guarantee when you read the small print, says 'Limited Lifetime Guarantee', so I'm expecting some kind of 'natural wear & tear' clause to be invoked by them. Hopefully, I'm wrong and they repair it. We shall see.🙂

Thanks Rob.👍 Who would have thought it? Some actual sunshine in this years summer lol.🙂
