Rucksack is ancient , been backpacking all round the world with it. Cannot get rid

@@Hengists_Wild_Camps Cheers, Steve 👍

Cheers Darren, yes it's a fascinating place, we only scratched the surface here, looking forward to exploring the area further in future.

Ah, so that's where it goes! Thanks for commenting mate 😄

@timstokes8283 It was a great suggestion from you, thanks for that. We have unfinished business, so we need to return for another more thorough explore and another camp, hopefully on one of those spots on the edge that we found.

@@Takingawalkwithmybestfriend Many thanks, yes it is a fascinating area, lots more to see so I'm sure we will be returning. It's great to know that I have at least one viewer that has good taste in music 😀

@thepeakdistrictviking Thanks, yes I was aware that I needed to take care in that cave, I would like to return with some old clothes so I can get a bit further, the rocks further in were covered in slippy clay. There was a little partially blocked cave very near our camping spot, just about big enough to squeeze in, again will explore another time, hopefully.

@trooperwolfie Thanks for your comment mate, yes there were some spots further along the path past the old winch, but some young lads were already camping there. Tim and I always seek maximum isolation!

@PhilWaud Cheers Phil, from what I could see I'd estimate about 10 meters, but I want to go back with some old clothes so I can investigate further.

You are correct, there are very few decent spots to pitch. The spot I camped in this video was ok but not ideal. There is a place lower down and to the right of this spot that is like a little plateau that has a strip of flat grass big enough for two tents. I document this in my video here: th-cam.com/video/xQG41uy-uag/w-d-xo.html

@EDCCooperative Thank you, yeah it was pretty much a perfect camping spot, I loved it.

Definitely looked like it @@Glossopwildcamp I’ll have a look see next time I’m round there. You’re not all that far away from me really 😎

@GH02-o_o I hear you, we only had the one can so we were still sober 😀 For once the winds were blowing in the opposite direction than normal, so the section of the Downfall where we were was actually out of the wind.

@debbieedwards5107 Cheers Debbie 😊 I have now got the Dog Stone coordinates thanks to another TH-cam, so hope to see it soon.

@Takingawalkwithmybestfriend Ah, you have good taste! I really rate Talktalk, as you probably realise! Thanks very much mate.

@@Glossopwildcamp here all day if there’s a bit of synth to be heard 👌😂

@@timstokes8283 It was mate, we had such a great time, just a shame you weren't 💯

@kevinstark4294 Thanks Kevin, it's definitely worth a look, right up your street I reckon.

@PhilWaud Thanks Phil, glad you enjoyed it mate. Despite the poor weather it was a really excellent camp. I'll look out for your email, I'm determined to find that pesky Dig Stone!

@@Glossopwildcamp I sent the message this morning, to the email on your TH-cam info.

@jerrybullfrog9529 That's great, thanks so much for the feedback. Wish I could do it for a living!

Thank you, yes being out there certainly does the trick for me. Have a great week yourself 😊

Thanks very much guys! I'm glad that it comes across so well, I do try! If you ever do come to my neck of the woods please let me know, I'd love to meet up for a coffee 😊

@@Glossopwildcamp absolutely, will do 😊😊😊

Thanks for that info mate, I'm glad to see the moors being cared for.

Thanks Ken, no I haven't, it is on the OS map but no precise location is given. I'll have to walk around the area thoroughly next time as it is a feature I would like to see. Apparently its more of a rock crevice than an actual cavern.

@mouchieex9939 Ah, thanks sweetie 🤔 xx

Cheers Debbie, yes this was a particularly good one, I felt so much better afterwards. Hope the curry turns out great for you 😋

Curry verdict! Spot on! 'Bri's curry' is set to become a staple recipe from now on in this household . I added some spinach just cos I love spinach, it was really nice and enough left for another meal 😋. Hope you've had a good week and managed to leave the blues behind on the hills Monday night. Looking forward to your next video 😊

@debbieedwards5107 Brilliant, so glad you enjoyed it, spinach is a great ingredient to add, they call it Saag in Asian terms. Thanks for your comment, Debbie, have a great week ahead.

Thanks very much, the best views of the Manchester lights are the southern edge of Kinder, anywhere between Ashop Head and the Kinder Downfall and camp as close to the edge as you can.

@timstokes8283 I couldn't agree more, mate. Next camp can't come soon enough, looking forward to discussing it tomorrow night.

@Takingawalkwithmybestfriend Thanks very much for the comment and sub 😀 The thing that always confises me is the way anxiety often doesn't have an obvious external cause, you might be having a relatively problem free life and it can still be there. Thankfully I have my faith, plus the camping to keep it under control.

Thanks son 😊

Thank you Phil, yes I would love the google maps link to the dog stone, I really wanted to find it on the last camp in this area with Tim. Regarding anxiety, this is something that I used to suffer with seriously about 15 years ago, nearly killed me, but the Lord brought me out of it thankfully. These days it is not serious at all, I think it's just more a dissatisfaction with the evil that people are capable of and my need to escape it. Wild camping is that escape!

Brilliant comment, so full of insight and truth and I really appreciate it my friend. Big respect to you for calling time on alcohol and knowing your boundaries with caffeine, I rarely drink caffeine but could do with cutting out the alcohol. To say 'but I enjoy it' is no excuse! Interesting what you say about the static and the need for grounding, I am aware of this and like to sit in my garden barefoot on nice days, it definitely promotes a feeling of well being. In addition to the electromagnetic, I feel a strong spiritual 'discharge' when I am outside with my Creator that resets my soul and enables me to come back to society with a renewed ability to negotiate it without going insane!

@@Glossopwildcamp Its great that you notice it Brian because a lot dont and then just fill up and overflow with frustration. The stopping drinking alcohol for me was a number of reasons and one of them was that when you look into not just the alcohol but its container and the lining of that container (PFAs) and how it leaks dangerous hormone disrupting chemicals to the drink then thats concerning enough but then when you look in to the amount of chemicals that go into preserving these drinks thats even worse so its no wonder that hormones are disrupted at an alarming rate and fertility rates are on the decline. To me its avoiding the elephant in the room and a lot of men have got a 'Pot Belly' that are caused from the inflammation of the gut lining that this bombardment of chemicals causes.. I have absolutely no objection for people having a drink and a laugh but it does make me roll my eyes when people just buy drinks for a higher alcohol content because they think they are getting more bang for their buck so to speak. They need to check out what else is going inside their bodies first and foremost because nobody would just pour any old chemical inside a cars fuel tank because that would be considered ludicrous but they are happy to neck a gallon of cell killing chemicals which effects the cells nervous system and then leads to nervous disorders such as anxiety and depression , mood swings and a whole number of male specific problems etc. It all seems so obvious to me, maybe i am just weird 🤔. Germany they have Bavarian brewing laws which prevents them from using chemicals or unnatural ingredients but over here we just pump any chemical or colouring into them to make it taste or look better . The irony of using a water filter in the mountains where you have the opportunity to asborb natures amazing minerals for free and miss out on all that health benefit and then go and drink 8 cans of cheap strong lager baffles my brains but everyone is doing it and then claiming mental health issues ( Beam me up Scotty)....i am bound to bump into you one day out on Kinder or Bleaklow so until then God Bless and happy camping 👍👍👍

It certainly is, this one was an absolute tonic Steve.

Hi Fraser, the Sharwoods did the job very well actually, I'll be buying those again. All the best to you and yours mate 👍

Amen brother! I have experienced what I describe as 'strange days' for as long as I can remember, but they are a lot more frequent now, the bible describes the period before Jesus returns as 'birth pangs' meaning they will become more intense and frequent. I think many of us are really feeling it mate, hopefully not long till redemption. Thanks for your kind words brother, lots of love.

Ah, welcome fellow Glossopian! Thanks for watching and commenting, please give me a sub if you haven't already 👍

Now that was a rollercoaster of a comment, quite exhilarating actually. I'm wondering if it was powered by McEwans Champion, but can't be sure. Brilliant Steve, thanks for making me laugh 😃 Errrrrrrrmmmmm

@MikeHarlyn-lh9jo You might be right! 🤣

Hi Laurent, I thank you again for watching and commenting, it makes me very happy when my viewers enjoy the videos enough to tell me 🤗

@@Glossopwildcamp 👍

Big thanks for your comment Debbie, I make a few variations of the curry, which video are you referring to in particular?

Oh no particular video , it always looks really rasty, if you're happy to share recipe. I tend to vary my recipes too.

@@debbieedwards5107 Ok, well, I always start with frying out finely diced onion in either butter or ghee, a pinch of salt to help extract the water and a teaspoon of demerera sugar to help them caramelize. Don't be shy with the butter or ghee, its the oil that carries the flavour, I use at least 5 tablespoons. Add a table spoon of garlic and ginger paste (make it yourself as shop bought has vinegar and additives to preserve it and it tastes bad as a result) and fry it out, but not too much that it burns. add a tin of chopped tomatoes, or use fresh if you have some. Once up to temperature add your spices. I use approx a tablespoon of mild madras curry powder, a teaspoon of cumin, a tsp of garam masala, sometimes half a tsp of tumeric and a pinch of methi leaves (also known as fenugreek leaves). Add chilli powder to taste, I use kashmiri chilli powder and add about half a tsp. Fry these out for a couple of minutes. Add 3-4 diced chicken breasts. Make sure the chicken is up to room temp, as if its still chilled it may become tough and chewy on cooking. Cook on a medium heat, stirring regularly until chicken cooked, at least 15 minutes but longer is great as the flavours infuse more. Add water if the curry is becoming too thick. If you want a more intense tomato taste add a tablespoon of tomato puree and I always add a dash of fresh lemon juice or balsamic vinegar if I want a sweeter flavour. Once cooked season with salt and pepper and add some fresh chopped coriander. Serve with steamed basmati rice. Let me know how you get on!

That sounds delicious and some interesting additions. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. Sadly I'm not going to get chance to make it before tomorrow's camp but it doesn't have to be just for camping does it! Will report back 😋

Cheers Ken, loved this camp, those dusk colours were praise inducing. Glad you enjoyed the wailing, I was in a good mood obviously!

It was a good one mate, the colours at dusk were amazing, the conditions were similar to the first time you and I camped at the downfall so it was great to be able to fly the drone. I thought you would appreciate the 80's hiking karaoke 😆 Let's meet up for a pint between now and the 7th Sep to catch up and discuss next camping location.

Definitely for up for pub. Old school Stockport be good 👍 ​@@Glossopwildcamp

Thanks mate, I think there was one 'erm' that slipped through the net during the cooking scene. but a definite improvement! I hear you regarding the school programming, my wife is a teacher so I get to hear about the stuff that is coming into the curriculum recently, bad stuff.

Cheers Phil, I couldn't help but sing when out in such a beautiful place in such glorious weather!

@@Glossopwildcamp I know exactly what you mean!

Cheers! You make a lot more sense than me mate, it's cringey looking back at my early ones in particular 😬

@Glossopwildcamp good to see progress though, it's amazing when you look back how much you find you've got better

@thepeakdistrictviking Absolutely right, we're learning all the time. I was in Castton last Wednesday, I wondered if I'd bump into you and say hello!

@Glossopwildcamp if you're ever over let me know always good to meet up with like minded folk
