A Wild Camp in a Haunted Gorge
My recent wild camp in the haunted gorge of Winnats Pass in the Peak District. A place full of history and fantastic views.
A one night wild camp overlooking the Hope Valley and a ghost story about a young couple who were robbed in the pass many years ago.
Watch to see if any mysterious goings on occur and to learn about the history of the pass and its origins, as well as a gorgeous sun rise over the Hope valley.
Also tried out the new Zenbivy bed for the first time.

    Fantastic watch Stu, loved that camping spot. The grandeur of Winnats Pass is very impressive, I've always wanted to do a drone flight along there at a time of day when the road is very quiet. You cracked me up when you got angry at yourself for saying sunrise instead of sunset, called yourself a dick 😂😂 Possibly a little harsh on yourself there, but I feel your pain as I'm always fluffing my words, far worse than you!

You looked nice and snug in your shelter setup mate. Sheep are funny creatures. As soon as you're in a horizontal position and at their level they get all brave and come closer, but then run away as soon as you stand up.🙂 That was a lovey sunrise. I really enjoyed watching this.
