- This week's mini Peak District adventure was a last minute winter wild camp at Crookstone Knoll on Kinder Scout. I spotted a nice little weather window so packed my kit and headed to Hope. I walked up via Hope Cross and enjoyed a great evening gazing up at the night sky. The tent froze, my camera gear froze but it was a thoroughly enjoyable night.

All music by Dean Read. Footage shot with a Canon 7D with a 17-40mm lens, a RODE VideoMic Go with a Dead Cat Wind Protector. I also used Canon 550D with a 55-250mm lens, GoPro Hero 3 and an iPhone 6 Plus.
Some nice colours in the morning.
I was packing the tent away during that time lapse so didn't quite see how spectacular it looked until I reviewed the footage :-) thanks for watching
love the photo with you sat with the head torch shining to the sky
Great video Dean....I felt cold when you showed the inside of the tent....Brrrrr.
+George Moffat Thanks for watching George, thats just reminded me. I haven't got the tent back out again to air it out :-) whoops haha
Awesome views, just shows how great the peak district really is!
+Cinda 19 Thanks for watching, this has to be one of my favourite solo wild camps I think :-)
Dean Read What tent or bivvy would you recommend for 1person, I have a Yellowstone 1man but it's not very sturdy, I need something compact to take on day hikes etc
+Cinda 19 I have a Wild Country Zephyros 1 and that's been great, others I know have the Vango Banshee which is supposed to be equally as good. My bivvy is just an Army Goretex bag which I've had for over 10 years and would highly recommend.
Dean Read cheers I'll check them out!
Fantastic video Dean.... Happy and safe travels mate.
Thanks for watching Patrick
great video plus pictures dean/fantastic place to wild camp awesome views
+retro robot342 Thanks for watching, it's a really great spot to camp as you have a great vantage point and it great for sunrises :-) ATB, Dean
Hi there Dean.....aaaaaahhhhh it's good to be out again. I know where your at...good vibes even in the freezing cold. Well done to the trail runner. I'm like you I admire there fitness. Wow you captured a beautiful wild morning there. All the best. Mark.
+Wye Explorer Thanks for watching Mark. It was a stunning night and another great one for my mind / soul. I needed a bit of contemplative time I think to work a few things out. As for the fell runner, madness but I'm thoroughly in awe of the fitness levels of the guys and girls that do it.
Dean Read A pleasure Dean..it was a good one. Yeah trail runners...it's all about repetition. I've started but have a fair way to go. I bet you filled up with the light of the place. Just what's ordered. Well, have a good remainder of the week. For me the Welsh hills again. All the best. Mark.
Have a nice time in the hills Mark, i'm off to the big smoke this weekend so will be ready for some hill time after that :-)
Dean Read Ha ha the heights of London eh or is it Manchester or Leeds or something of that nature. Well have a great time. Mine is another new route. All the best. Mark..
We headed down to London to see a show, going again on Saturday to see Billy Connolly so the outdoors will have to wait another week for me sadly. hope you had a great outing
Hi Dean, got sidetracked from the CW and watched this amazing video as well. Really enjoy the chat you keep going while you walk, feels like you are taking us along with you. Great time lapses and stills, especially the epic one of you sitting beside your tent looking at the sky. Can't imagine how cold that was but better than rain eh? M&J
Dean, Your videos always put a smile on my face. I love your passion Mate and your videos are always inspirational and professional. You have some beautiful scenery and places near you. Fair play to that fell runner. Top Man. ATB Reeco
Thanks Recco, I love making the videos and I can't get enough of the Peak District at the minute. Just wish work didn't get in the way of adventures :-)
Top Man. ATB Reeco
I went down that exact path to get to the residential center.

Best laid plans...
true :-)
Another excellent video Dean ,,,,,perfect ,,,king of Edale mate yer are ...All the best ...steve
Hahaha :-) cheers Steve. I do love Edale, would happily live there. Thanks for watching mate
Brilliant video matey, I really enjoyed that. The views, the colours, the sunset, the stars, the timelapse, amazing images. hat a place. I have never been there but need to get there now, I was most impressed. Great video, really enjoyed it mate. I was particularly impressed with how much camera gear you took...2 DSLR cameras with lenses, they weigh a lot just on their own..well done! :-)
+Wandering Wolf 2 Thanks for watching. I must admit I did take a lot of camera kit on this one, i'm so glad I didn't get rid of my larger Berghaus rucksack when I bought the Osprey Exos 48 :-)
thanks for sharing great video dean yet again.... kev
Thanks for watching Kev, much appreciated
Awesome vid as usual, and I fully agree about binning the skin shredding standard pegs that come with the otherwise great Zephyros 1, easy to put in, but too sharp and badly designed to pull out. after the first outing they were replaced with something better (not difficult!)
great video
Thanks for watching Gaz
Inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Dean.
Thanks for watching Phil, much appreciated
sweet vid mate thanks for sharing.
Thanks Paul, hope you're well mate
Thanks for sharing Deano.. :) As always some great timelapse as well..! uuuuch looked pretty cold inside your tent there mate.. ATB.
It was pretty cold, I was just about warm enough with kit I took :-) thanks for watching
Awesome Camp again Dean ! Cant wait to head up there in March :) Cant come quick enough !
Thanks for watching mate, hope you have a great time in the Peaks in March
You're a natural film maker, and a really good presenter, with a knack to beam people into your camp, well done keep it up, you should be working in TV, in my opinion. :)
Thank you for your kind words Tony, means a lot. I'd love to be able to make videos and do trips like this for a living, sadly I'm just on my way to work now to do a night shift :-) I can daydream for now haha. Thanks for watching
I've camped in them woods,I love the peak district
just done first wild camp inspired by dean reads videos
c my bamford edge experience

Another great account Dean :)
+VanSolo Thanks for watching :-)
hi dean stunning mate your videos just get better nice to see you getting out again oh ive subbed ray but cant find his vids best wishes take care chris
Hi Chris, thanks for watching mate. I'll have to give Ray another nudge about getting some videos online, thanks for subbing him too
Hello Dean. First of all... great video, love the time lapse of the fading sky... secondly, have you got more camera's than 'currys'.. you've got loads of gadgets. All the best Dean, thanks for the footage. Cheers Gary
+gary kirkham Haha :-) thanks for watching Gary. I do have quite a bit of Camera kit, thankfully I have a father who is a photographer so the majority of my stuff is handed down from him so I haven't had to break the bank.
loved the video subscribed
Thanks for watching Alan and also thanks for subscribing :-)
Dean I love your vids man great job! You may know my dad Canoe and Trail!
Thanks for watching, is it Aiden? If it is I saw you in your dads vlog from a few weeks ago :-)
+Dean Read Sorry for replying late. Yes it is Aiden. I think it would be awesome if me, my dad and you go out on a hike sometime!! Atb Aiden
+MiNiMeArS135 Hi Aiden, that would be great. I'll have to arrange something with your dad :-) atb
Great videos mate good work I just subscribed to your channel
+Rugby paranormal research group Uk Thanks for watching and subscribing :-) All the best. Dean
Never heard of this place (I'm a South Pennines local) but looks great. I'm going wild camping in the North Pennines soon but this is now on my list.
Deserved mention of Alpkit - their stuff is great (I'm nothing to do with them by the way).
Nice one Dean another great outing.
Atb Andy
+Undercover Outdoors Thanks for watching Andy, ATB mate
Great film as usual Dean, love watching your wild camps. I'm considering doing one myself for the first time the peaks and was wondering where would be the best place for my first? Cheers Mark.
Thanks for watching Mark, I'd recommend Grindslow Knoll on Kinder Scout and leaving your car at Edale or you can get the train/bus there. You can see what it looks like by watching my "Kinder Scout above the clouds" video from a few months ago :-)
+Dean Read cheers for that, is there plenty of parking at edale? And when would be best to park there weekends/weekdays?
I mostly camp during the week as I work shifts. I usually leave my car near the school / Old Nags Head at Edale. I've never had any issues with space even though there is perhaps only room for 10-15 cars. When camping I arrive in the early / late afternoon so most of the day walkers have gone home. There is a big car park near the railway station but I'm not sure how much that costs as I've not used it before, I'm a cheapskate so usually use free spots :-) failing that you could park at Hope where I park in this video as there is normally lots of parking there, you could then head up to Crookstone Knoll and camp at the same spot as I did. or there is a flat spot at an old quarry just below the top if you want to stay out the wind
+Dean Read thanks for the info, I'll definitely give both a try in the near future. ATB Mark
I hope you have a great trip :-)
Great vid dean..
+Tim Ridgway thanks for watching Tim

Hi Dean!
Excellent video

Thanks for watching :-)
Hi Dean, loved this one! I have a question. :) Do you ever feel a bit scared or vulnerable camping on your own? It looks amazing and I really admire you! Your videos always make me feel relaxed and uplifted.
+Natasha Newton hi Natasha thanks for watching. I've never felt vulnerable while camping up on the hills alone. I've got a very overactive imagination at times but I've learned to ignore the strange noises of nature :-) thank you for your kind words about the videos, I love making them and this one is one of my favourites
Apart from a guy in shorts in the middle of winter, have you ever had any weird experiences while on your adventures? Ghosty ufo type stuff.
Thanks for watching... I've had a UFO type experience. Lights on the Moors moving in strange formations that I couldn't explain.. Rather strange but absolutely fascinating, I was on my own too so a little bit freaky.
@@DeanRead Wow! Creepy, especially being on your own. I was night fishing many years ago, on my own, relatively in the middle of nowhere. All zipped up and about to try and get some sleep when I heard someone run up to my bivvy and just stop dead right behind my bivvy. I called out "hello?", but they didnt reply. Jumped up and stepped out to see what they wanted.. and there was absolutely no-one there. I never been so creeped out.
Happy New Year Dean. I'm about to embark on my first wild camp in a couple of weeks with a friend. Do you think the spot you stayed at in this post would be ok for our first camp? Or would it be too adventurous do you think? If you could recommend and spots in the Peak District which would be more suitable that would be awesome. Cheers, James
Great vid loved it :)
Thanks for watching :-)
Nice one as usual! Do you upload your photography online anywhere? Those long exposure night shots would make awesome desktop wallpapers!
Hi Drew, thanks for watching. I only really upload my images to Instagram and to my website at the moment. I did use Flickr but got out of the habit of uploading to there :-)
thumbs up!
+Слон 777 Thanks for watching :-)
what altitude and what temp was that camp?? did you have any issue with that gas stove working in those conditions??
The altitude is only around 600 metres and it was about minus 6 degrees C. The gas stove worked fine thankfully, Thanks for watching
Best none to expensive sleeping system to carry ?
I'm not 100% sure myself, still struggling to get the balance right. I have a budget vango ultralite 1300 which is good
Dean it looks nice
Can I ask a couple of questions please
How do you get away with out being in front of your Own Fire with Family your Mrs, whats she think of you being out at all hours day & night??
Other Question is Pardon me for being Personal When your up in places like Kinder Scout & you Need To Go does it bother you it would me !!
a great video dean did you get the goretex seam tape from Pennine outdoors?
+John Clarke Hi John, thanks for watching. i'm still undecided as to what i'm going to do with the bivvy bag, wasn't sure whether to be lazy and just buy another Army issue one for £20 or perhaps get an Alpkit model
I have the ALPKIT hunka and the old wild country goretex bivi I would get another army goretex bivi I mean £20 there worth it the hunka is about £35
Great video, Dean! Have you done a video on what and how you pack for these mini adventures? I'm curious, seeing as you appear to have several cameras as well as camping equipment.
Hi Olly, I haven't done a video on that subject yet but I have had lots of requests. I've got pretty lazy recently when it comes to packing so usually just cram everything in :-) I have had to resort to taking my larger Berghaus rucksack on recent trips due to the amount of camera gear I take. In summer though I usually just take a bivvy, sleeping bag, food, cooking kit and a head torch and keep it as simple as possible.

Great video, just bought the new style Zepheros 2, based on your previous vids, two doors now and the inner door folds away to the side now, check out my video, if interested.
love your vids. I am from Holland and I am looking for a country to wildcamp for 1 week or a little bit shorter. Is it illegal to camp in the peak district or in Wales or lake district. I was thinking about Sweden but you dont have much hills or mountain's or you must go to Lapland and that's a little to fare away
Scotland is the best place for Wild Camping in the UK, it is legal there and there are lots of really great places to choose from. The Cairngorms and the West Highlands are a personal favourite
A warm bag on a frosty night can make for great sleeping. I'm amazed that trail runner can avoid snapping an ankle on that trail -- some pretty eroded patches looked to make uncertain footing.
He returned another few times but still didn't have a head torchon, there was a lot of moonlight and the reflection on the snow must have a made it a little easier for him. Thanks for watching mate
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy all your videos.
Thanks for watching mate
brilliant scenery great video ATB Tom
+thomas sorbie go wandering in hills Thanks for watching Tom
Hi Dean,
I've only just come across your channel by chance ... you videos are excellent and very inspiring - thank you !
I'm just getting back into camping now that my son's getting older, and am looking for suitable venues far enough away to be an adventure, but not too far away if it all goes wrong ! The Peak District seems ideal but I wanted to ask, have you ever had any issues with wild camping there ? I note from the National Park's website that they expressly forbid wild camping ...
Kind regards,
Matt
+Matthew Benjafield Hi Matthew thanks for watching. Personally, I've never had any issues while wild camping. I always try and stay out of view and make sure I arrive late and leave early. Also always try and leave no trace. I know camping isn't strictly legal but I'm sure if you stay well away from buildings and roads and out of view you'll be ok. I spoke to a warden once who basically said that its the fools who camp in full view, next to roads and go setting fires everywhere that they don't want. Thanks again for watching, ATB Dean
Hi Dean, loved the video looked bloody freezing up there. The wife watched it with me while we were having breakfast and I quote " he,s just like you, absolutely off his trolly, sleeping out like that and saying he loved it!" Little does she understand why we do it. All the best from East Yorkshire.
+Dean Read Hi again Dean, nice to hear from you. I must admit, when I tell the people at work what I do in my spare time they think i'm off my trolley too :-) haha. ATB mate
how do you do the low light photography and time lapse film ... looks really good.
OOnce did a overnight hike from Chinley to Edale over... Kinder awesome except for the fog lol
+paul0gb14 paul h oski the time lapse video is just long exposure images stitched together, I shoot video at 24 frames per second so I need to take 24 images for 1 second of video. I stitched the images together with iMovie on my Mac but there are lots of programs that can do it. Thanks for watching Paul
Greetings form Ireland! Nice camera work, Dean. Always a challenge to get decent quality time lapse shots of the night sky, there's so much light pollution in the northern hemisphere. Great adventure and thanks for the upload.
+martin critchley Thanks for watching Martin. I wasn't so lucky this time with my night time lapses, my previous attempt was when we had a cloud inversion so the light pollution was minimal. Also, this time it was below freezing so I kept getting frost on the lens. fingers crossed i'll get some good conditions for my next attempt :-)
Just found your channel, you've got some amazing shots! But I was just foundering how do you record your sound so clearly even through wind? Do you use some sort of microphone?
Hi Tomas, I use a RODE VideoMic Go with a wind protector / dead cat. They are excellent microphones and I'd highly recommend getting one
Ohh okay, I will definately look into that, as recording voice while hiking without one is a terrible idea as I've realised last! Thanks for reply!
Hey Dean, really nice videos on your channel, it's making me want to start camping! Subbed and gave you a follow on instagram too, keep it up! :D
+zippypop34 Hi Nick, thanks for watching and subbing / following on YT & Insta. You should definitely start camping, looking forward to following you drone adventures too :-)
Minj-weather window. Funny. That's what I do. Keep an eye on that met office weather forecast.
Go! Go! Albeit I am only going on walks to vlog l.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching :-)
Great film. Well narrated as always. ATB RS
+Renegade Scot Thanks for watching mate :-)
Hi dean what winter sleeping bag are you using thanks
+chainsawdom1 hi thanks for watching. I was using a Vango Ultralite 1300 but I don't really rate it once temp goes below zero, I get rather cold in it :-(
Awesome stuff pal, we've just got a Wild Country Trisar 2D! its going for its first camp on bleaklow this week!
stunning footage as per Dean, howled at the guy in shorts!!
Thanks for watching. hats off to the guy in the shorts, I'm no way near fit enough to be a fell runner :-)
that video was mint mate!! keep it up!
Thanks for watching Ian :-)
No videos on Ray's channel 😕
+Mandy Chamberland Hi Mandy, thanks for watching. Ray is too shy to upload anything I think, my friend Jay & I have both encouraged him but I'm not holding out much hope :-)
nice camp thanks for sharing
+Willy's Adventures Thanks for watching Willy
Awesome video.
Thanks for watching Colin, this is one of my favourite nights on Kinder
Another cracking video, your production quality is fantastic and looking at the shadow of the camera it looks like your just hand holding so really impressive smoothness. A BTS how you make the videos would be interesting sometime ;-)
Love the sparkle from the ice crystals on the tent and the timelapse sequences.
Thanks for watching Chris, I really must do a camera kit video as I've had lots of requests :-) I hate doing reviews but I suppose a BTS vid wouldn't hurt :-)
magic"".
Thanks for watching :-)
Great little video and pictures, looks cold though.
Another great overnighter Dean, looked like it was a chilly one, some great timelapses and the colour of that sky looked amazing! ATB Ben
+Yorkshirewanderer Thanks Ben, it was a really great night. was rather cold but thankfully I was warm enough when sleeping thanks to the extra sleeping bag :-)
Hi! It was my boyfriend Mark running that night! He mentioned today that he had met someone camping at the top. I searched for #Crookstoneknoll today and he recognised your picture!
Great video again Dean, as always awesome views, good to be out in the fresh air, great camp spot, what rucksack and sleeping bag did you use for this trip , cheers craig
Thanks for watching Craig. I used my old Berghaus C7 rucksack that is about 10 years old for this one. I used my Vango ultralite 1300 and also another thin Summer vango bag to keep me warm :-)
Music Sets the pace .....Choreography tells the story.
Классное видео! Интересный канал, мы всегда смотрим ваши обновления!!!
+Romashka Talk-show thanks for watching
Hi dean great video. Do you use the vango ultralight 1300?
Very nice Dean! The notification of your upload woke me up 15 minutes before my alarm, perfect timing ;)
+Dave Vaughan haha :-) Glad I didn't release the video too early then, wouldn't want to wake people up in the middle of the night. thanks for watching Dave
+Dean Read publish them at what ever time you want :) 😀
I've been aiming for Sunday at 7am recently, I don't think i'll have one to go live this week though sadly :-)
+Dean Read the weather has been awful down here. If your ever around Dartmoor way, drop me a buzz.
Only ever visited Dartmoor once before so would like to return again soon :-)
Love the video, do you ever post the pictures that you take ? Would be nice to see them at the end 👍
Hi Dean thanks for another breath of fresh air - really appreciated - especially for those of us with cabin fever stuck inside still! It’s great you manage to get every opportunity to get out and bring us these inspiring vids and music. Hope the camera’s are thawed out in time for your next adventure. Stephen.
Hi Stephen, I really love making the videos and making the music too. I just wish work didn't get in the way as I'd love to get out more :-)
Hi Dean, I've been watching your channel for some time and thought it was about time to post a message and say I enjoy your videos a lot. Particularly enjoying the fact you're getting more heavily into your video experiences and skills ... love those time lapses.
Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks for watching. I've been trying to up the game a little recently :-) still lots of things I'd like to do and to capture in the Peak District so I can't wait to get out again soon. Thanks again for watching
once again my friend. great dedication to get out doors and then work the nxt morning. ur camara images are unbelievable and also great comentry of the walk and locations. the quality of videos amazes me every time. cheers dude.
+Steven Roper Thanks Steven, much appreciated. I don't mind wild camping before work, no pain no gain as they say :-)
You've got a really great talent creating these videos Dean, another brilliant watch.
Thanks Andrew, much appreciated mate
As usual Dean great video looking forward to more through the year cheers Steve
+STEPHEN CLARKE Thanks for watching Steve, I can't wait to get out again soon. the weather is rather annoying at the moment, I have my fingers crossed for some nice days / nights :-)
I've just climbed the mighty mam tour for my silver dofe, it's amazing up there
It certainly is amazing up there, the views are fantastic. Hope you had a good time on your silver DofE, I did mine with Army Cadets. You going for gold? I never got that far sadly. All the best, Dean.
Standard quality and well edited video, look forward to more of the same!
Thanks for watching John :-)
Great video Dean
Another amazing video, beautiful scenery and particularly loved the timelapse of the traffic! I really need to get my kit together, get my head sorted and get out
