- I headed out for an early morning hike and coffee on Kinder Scout, and then chat a little about some thoughts I've been having about sharing gear recommendations.

This walk is by far the most regular walk I make since I was young , train to Edale, coffee at the cafe, trail up to the plateau via grindsbrook , down back the same way or via ringing Roger, into the nags for a little food and a warm and back on the train. Its like a tonic for the soul . More power to Athena for representing a walk that's so important to many of us from Manchester and Sheffield
Kinder Scout is so special, probably my favourite place ever :D
I’ve got a whole playlist on my Spotify from songs I’ve heard on here, so relaxing. I love this channel!
that's a cool idea, really enjoy the songs in the videos . could you share a link ?
So great! I was thinking of the same thing but was being lazy to put it together myself. Athena has here own Spotify account and she has a Playlist based on her TH-cam videos but it is kinda short... Please do share a link
@@trifonasbitsakos5527 Ah yes I'm not very good at keeping it up! I use Musicbed for my videos not Spotify, but one of these days maybe I'll make a proper playlist :)
Thank you so much ☺
Same! It’s such a chill mix! It’s become my morning coffee soundtrack!
You do you! Whether it’s reviewing gear or just going on your walks! Do your thing, Take care.
Thank you! All in moderation I think :)
A short but lovely production: intrepid mountain leader Mellor and mountain dog Oslo set off for a walk, a coffee and a Kinder surprise in Edale. Turns out the parachute that Oslo dog was wearing wasn't actually a parachute after all. Oh well, on another episode perhaps. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, check canopy! Wuff!
love the format, love the music. A great start to my day. Thank you Athena
Thanks so much!
Watching this while having a cup of coffee. It's given me the motivation to start the day and do nice things (well, all your videos have that effect!) Thank you Athena!
Aw thank you! That makes me so happy :D
You are a earth angel The boys of London are captivated by your videos and you have us under your spell Thank you
Hi Athena, I would love review of gear and especially outdoor clothes. I would love your opinion on different jackets, backpacks, boots etc. I think those are sometimes difficult to figure out when you’re starting to invest in more expensive, high quality materials. I would like to have to those either in a separate video or if included in a vlog to add them to a separate playlist so that it’s easier to find them 6 months later. Love, love your videos and so glad I found your channel. Please continue! 😍
Thanks so much! I will do an updated gear list this Autumn to share with you :)
You can also join the Walk Highlands forum. A very large community of extremely knowledgeable hill-walkers and mountaineers (largest in the UK by far) they'll help with kit choices & options, will help you know which kit needs investment, which kit has cheaper options, etc.
Undecided whether I should go out hiking today and then an Athena Mellor hiking video appears on my feed. Go on then 😊
What a nice way to start the day.
Indeed.
Part of the love of the outdoors is all the gadgets and gear that come with it. Boys love their toys. It's all part of the fun. So keep on the reviewing, your experience will save people money in the long run, and they will enjoy it more.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yay, a new video! Have a lovely day ☀️
I absolutely love getting up and out early to brew some coffee out in nature :)
It's the best isn't it! Definitely going to make it a regular thing :D
Talk about anything you like it’s actually very helpful to share what you bough or what you were. I already bough a lot thank you our advice so please don’t shy away from it it’s very helpful. I love the jumpsuit you had in you as well . Love every video thank you 🙏🏻
It looks beautiful up there! Love your channel. It's just the pick me up I needed. Full of positive energy. Thanks!
Thanks for this. Great, relaxing start to the day 👍 I recently completed my first ever wild camp in the Shropshire Hills and watching videos like this inspired me to film my experience 😊🏕️
Ah that's amazing! I hope you enjoyed the experience :)
@@RambleFamily It was incredible up the Long Mynd! Beautiful view and brilliant company 😊 thanks for the reply 👍
Brendan James Vlog I live near there! Great spot to wild camp 😊
@@nataliepassant8083 awesome and I agree 😊 really got me hooked 👍
That's a great way to start the day Athena, looked an ideal day for it as well, it's always nice to get out 1st thing. Gear reviews are good, folk love a review 👍🏃
Thank you! That's great to know you like reviews. It was a beautiful morning and I loved watching the clouds roll in and out 😀
Great video, very soothing and relaxing. Thank you.
Your video makes me so happy and relaxing.😁
Ugh, this is such a vibe I love it!!!!
Nice one.... fabulous walk... enjoyed it.... looked like a very full day you had.... Always great content on your channel..... relaxing and easy to watch...👍👍👍
Your content is great Athena, keep doing your thing
so beautifully shot and relaxing to watch. I was really excited when I made my coffee this morning and also saw there was a new video ☕️🥰
Lovely video, it has inspired me to get out today. Also, I like hearing about gear - especially in gear specific videos.
I always enjoy your videos. They are very relaxing. You do a great job. Thank you for your hard work in putting them together. Have a nice day!!
I always find your videos and the music to be quite relaxing. I don't imagine mentioning a new piece of kit would affect that. I don't imagine you're the type of person to put it 'in our faces'. I imagine you'll find your own way with it and I look forward to following.
Heather is just lovely... thanks for sharing your walk! I appreciate your perspective on gear - you clearly are about quality, what serves you well, and no more than you really need.
Great video Athena a inspirational video for the start of the month take care of yourself ...Stewart
Very striking scenery so different from anywhere here in SA.I am taking a walk on Muizenberg Beach in the morning, lugging my 7D cannon & a 200mm lens, When I look out into False Bay I know that the next land is Antarctica.
I think we need to see Oslo's gear list and a 'what's in his backpack' video!
Hahaha love that!
yes yes and yess!! More review about gear: clothing ,backpack, etc :)
Love your videos! Each new one is like a gift, and very peaceful to watch. The British county side is very beautiful. I’m kind of amazed at the lack of trees, I live in middle Tennessee, USA, and am used to seeing trees everywhere. I hike the Smoky Mountains and other places here. But soon I hope to make my way there to explore and hike. Your videos are inspiring, interesting, and informative. Thank you!!😊
Love your videos. So relaxing ☺️
Thank you :)
As always, this makes me happy :)
Thanks for another fantastic video 😊 I can’t wait to get back into the outdoors myself once I’ve finished all my writing for university! For now I’m enjoying your videos and walking along the waterfront near my houses.
Lovely cinematography as always!
Another soul soothing video, it feeds my soul, I feel recharge.💪😄
Love your videos. I also appreciate it must be so tricky to find a balance with supporting brands and gifted items. I personally think your reviews are fantastic, with so much choice on the market it’s very overwhelming to make a choice and mistakes are not a only annoying but expensive so I’d rather buy a really good items once, than keep re-buying the same thing multiple times. Most people research expensive items online before buying so all of your reviews would be very well received. Ps I have some Ruffwear items for my dog and although expensive the quality is fantastic and the gear still looks great after 3 years wear, tear and washing etc.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I definitely agree with you 😊 glad to hear you like Ruffwear too and that their items last a long time.
A big thank you Athena for all the fabulous high quality content you provide...your videos are always a cathartic watch! And imagine they take such a lot of your time to create...so don't you worry about reviewing products...you do them with such a lovely 'bedside manner' anyway...do keep 'em coming! Great website by the way too!👍
Athena you give good reviews on items that come into your line of work, I wouldn't be calling to shops often so it's great to see new items that have been tried and tested by yours truly, great chill video as per usual, allways look forward to your adventures a breath of fresh air so to speak. Stay safe folks 😎
Thanks for another lovely video, beautiful scenery and a very handsome dog❤ Greetings from Germany.
Love the scenery and the photography always look forward to seeing the videos and Oslo looking out for you Cheers
Thanks Barry!
Love a mixture of stuff. It’s particularly useful if you have reviewed something you have had for a while. I have bought a few things you’ve reviewed and been really happy with them.
That’s great to hear!
I really needed this today
A Moka pot on a hike!! I am impressed. Great video to wake up to on a Saturday morning. Thanks for sharing
Hahaha it's definitely not the most practical but my favourite way to make coffee! I'm thinking of getting an aeropress....
Love your dog!
I just discovered your channel and I immediately subscribed. Love the ambience of your videos, especially for someone like me who doesn't like the corporate world.
Nothing beats a nice coffee on a summit! Excellent video - keep it up!
I've watched this channel for ages, but I'm from Derbyshire and have recently moved away, so now these videos are like a little bit of home for me. Brilliant as always :)
Well done Athena, I got what you meant , not over thinking at all.
I think including in your videos is always good as it is a little bit of everything then.
Really enjoyed the video of your walk , looks great up there.
Take care
Beautiful video as always Athena! Makes me want to revisit the peak district so bad
Amazing ! 🐶❤️
Nice relaxing video of the place that I love and camp on but have you tried Taylors coffee bags they make great filter coffee and it is so much easier and lighter than a percolator
I have had a “ Pocket Rocket” stove for about 10 years, and a miniature Italian Coffee Pot, done much as that lovely lass has done. Best bit of kit I own. Been on all the Camino De Santiago, Pilgrimages, I have done so far.
By the way, I have had a pair of “ pack lite” breathable over trousers , paid £70 -00 ten years ago. Still 100% good on the hill. My motto is, identify kit that is essential, buy best quality, and it will serve you well.See above items.
Totally agree with you :)
Wonderful time of the year,the heather with it's vibrant colour is a wonderful sight,enjoy the day.
I love this time of year for the beautiful heather ☺
I like you talking about gear. I bought some items you recommended that I needed and I am very glad I did! It’s good to have someone test stuff before you buy something... and yeah sometimes it’s very expensive but everyone should be aware and cautious of their own budget and of the planet.
That's great to hear! I like it when others recommend gear so I should be less nervous to share it myself :)
Watching you go hiking is very inspiring, and in that sense I think you are obtaining your main goal. It always makes me go out for a walk, at least ;-) As for gear reviews, I am glad you mention equipment you like using. Especially since you are based in the UK, and the brands you mention can be bought in Europe most of the time as well. Other hiker videos I get recommended by TH-cam feature US hikers, and the gear they use is not always easy to buy in my country (or shipping costs are way too much)
Another lovely video Athena. Looks so nice up there. Can't wait to visit next chance we get.
You where lucky with the weather yesterday. It was pants here! (West Lancs). Thanks for your videos.
I find this video really relaxing. Beautiful scenery and a lovely dog too. Thanks for sharing. ATB - Ben
Thank you 😊
Great content Coffee on the Kinder what's not to love about that. Watching you on your video at the weekend gives me the inspiration to get out more and it's working. Reviews are good in a practical way, it's all well and good reading a review about something but it's always better to get a review from somebody who knows what they are talking about for a change.
That's why I like your channel it's just everyday life at it's best thank you for sharing your journey with us. Take care.
enjoyed this, Kinder is on my to do list - nice video great presentation skill
Your videos are so relaxing, can't imagine what if I was there.
Well that's it I'm totally caught up, just binged all of your vids over the last few weeks! Love love love them!
Regarding your chat at the end...I personally just love the mix of vids you have on here, keep them coming lovely lady (and H & O) xx
some lovely shots you got there
Your videos are giving me inspiration and the confidence to go out alone, I've always been a bit anxious about going hiking as a solo female but I can't always rely on going with other people, I think I'll have to get a dog! Keep up the great work :)
Hi Athena, I think that gear reviews are really helpful. I hike only occasionnally, so I like having the advice of more experimented female hikers. Sometimes, when I am preparing a walk, I have specific questions about equipement (layering, sleeping gear, essential items,...), so I like watching specific videos, too, when I need it. Beautiful landscapes anyway !
Outstanding photography, really really good. You even got Oslo to pose brilliantly! Now I really want to get to Edale! Thank you.
He's such a poser! It isn't hard to get him to pose for me :)
Such a cool video 🙂 Amaizing views. Cheers 👍
Wow! Edale is soo beautiful! Thanks for sharing - thoroughly enjoyed watching! Love the countryside🌾
I was wondering what Oslo was wearing - that's so nifty 👌
Yeah, do what you think is OK, you can test things and recommend the ones that are worth buying. We trust your choice!
another nice video, gear as you go is good idea, you introduced me to Findra, which i now a fan
Just carry on as you are we luv em. Great video’s
Love your videos! I think they are awesome and make me wish I lived closer to the peaks than I do! A mention about gear for starting out in hiking would be great! Maybe your top recommendations of items for people to purchase who are just getting in to hiking/wild camping :) Take care x
There is a down side to dog packs. I was going for a week with my Samoyed and decided she could carry her own food and my new rain poncho to balance the load. Early one morning she ran off and came back without it 5 minutes later. We searched for it but no joy. We had to cut the adventure short with Neeka sharing my food but wouldn't you know it had to rain.
Thanks for the video.
You’ve sold me on that espresso kit, looks great.
Nice 👍🏻 I did a similar thing on Wednesday. Went up Crowden way. Even saw the bearded vulture
Love a good gear review! Recently I've got a lot more in the mindset of making an investment in kit that will serve me well and last. I feel like you definitely have that ethos too, so often i'll find myself scrolling through comments or looking in the description box to see if you've mentioned what you're using/wearing in a vid. Maybe that could be a lowkey way of sharing your recommendations? ☺ thanks for all the lovely videos!
I think you talk about gear the perfect amount. It's part of your job and you're right, it's great to hear about brands you recommend. However nature and being outdoors always feels front and centre on your channel, which I love.
That’s great feedback, thanks so much 😊
Hi Athena, I’ve enjoyed your past videos where you talk about what you bring on hikes, I guess it’s a good way to review the items themselves but also give a bigger picture. One thing I would like to hear your thoughts about is how you can use your gear smartly so that you don’t have to buy lots of things, which is both beneficial from an environmental and economic perspective I guess. So far example, can you use the same clothes in winter as in summer if you layer wisely, that kind of thing. Really enjoy your videos ❤️
Mornings. I've just started watching your channel and subscribed. A lovely well put together production! I want to put my walking boots on now and head off into Northumberland National Park but can't till I go wild camping next weekend. Thanks for the scenery, the lovely vid and lovely presenting 😁
Thanks so much for subscribing! I'd love to explore Northumberland more 🙂
@@RambleFamily Where you are looks properly amazing. NNP has 400 square miles of the breathtaking beauty of the remote uplands (you may see 5 other people all day) of the Cheviot Hills and the fine historical landscapes of the border valleys to the Scottish Border. 3000 years worth of hillforts and castles. Currently doing the Cheviots 99 Challenge. If your coming up this way and would like an escort let me know. Keep the vids coming 👌
I always hike with my dog but went with the ruffwear flagline harness. this is really lightweight and brilliant for helping my dog over obstacles. I stayed away from pouches because of the weight distribution problem. I think the ruffwear brand is defiantly worth the extra money for the quality.
Could almost experience the damp early morning fragrances of your delightful garden and the tempting smell of your Kinder coffee.... Recommend listening to the tone poem "Kinder Scout by Patrick Hadley, it's lovely.
Brew with view, but no yew.
Very nice!
Hi Athena, love your vids as I think they have a chilled vibe. We have an excitable 7 month old pup, how about a video on tips etc on hiking camping with your mutt ? I took her to the Lake District for a small hike but it was so hard work as she was always pulling at the end of her long leash, more training required before I attempt it again. The Ruffwear product looked great. Keep up the good work 👌
Yes I’m definitely keep to make a video about hiking and camping with Oslo 😊
Hello Athena. Personally I was researching with some other youtubers about the gear and I've bought Lowe Alpine backpack and Patagonia jacket just because of you. So you can see that it works :) When it comes to gear recommendations personally I found blogposts or lists of gear more useful than the whole video itself. I also think that when people search for gear they look for the whole package so mentioning items one by one in videos would be hard to follow. What I've seen others doing is that they upload every now and then Gear update videos where they say what did they change in last year and why and those are helpful!
That's a good idea! Thanks so much for the feedback 😀
Ah, Morning with Mellor, how mellow can that be. (If unlike Mellor's, it starts with some Tea!). But no expedition today except hers, maybe it's the stimulating coffee. Gorgeous heather purpling all over too.
Watching this after walking up Kinder Scout for the first time today. I saw your video pop up as we parked in Edale an though "What a coincidence!" 😂
Haha so funny!
Great video, I believe companies send you kit hoping you will give it a mention and if you think it's good quality, useful and worth the cost then go ahead and tell us. The Ruff dog harness looks great but expensive. My GSD could do with one as he needs loads of water and two meals a day at over 500 gms each he can carry a couple of days worth easy. Recently came across your site really good stuff, your so lucky to live where you do. Will be getting your book when it's ready.
For hikes, I think a harness or pack for the dog is essential. Ruffwear is a great brand! That pack will last him a while and will be great on walks as he is less likely to hurt his neck. We love all our ruffwear stuff, got a normal walking harness and pack for our girl and they're super comfy for her
Your videos are increadibly nice and beautiful and motivating , and I have been compeletely smitten ever since I came up on them! I also came uo on another video where you mention your passion for cooking . Are you planning on ever doing a what I eat in a day video, or one where you will talk about cooking while being on a hike or hillwalk?
Been thinking for a while about getting a pack for our dogs to carry ..thank you Oslo . go Oslo go :-)
Great video Athena, I’m glad you and Oslo are getting some help from Ellis Brigham. I like a balance of reviews and these kind of videos :)
That's great to hear, thank you!
No problems Athena ☺️
Brilliant video Athena. Regarding gear....for the ladies who are a little bit more 'rounded'. I am a 16-18 and struggle with some brands on sizing. If you or anyone out there could recommend....trousers, layers, waterproofs...in larger sizes much appreciated. Tried some mens gear but it just doesn't have the right fit.
I like to have your recommendation for gear videos. I was inspired by your last one, checked out the brands and found something that works for me. Maybe you can make small update video once a while about new things that you've got and love.
For sure 😊
Does Oslo have his own little hiking rucksack? 😍 Another beautiful, calming, inspiring video by the soon-to-be award winning Athena Mellor 😊
He does! He loves it (and by that I mean I love it) 😀
Ahh nice video,,❤🏴
Yes, please do talk about gear and share your honest views of it.
I don't think you can understate the benefits to the soul of being out early morning in areas like that. Loved Oslo with his rucksack ! I personally think a mix is best with regards to gear reviews. I like specific gear videos & if people then don't want to watch then it's their choice. Nothing wrong with integrating some gear advice into a walking video also as it is relevant & compliments what you're doing. Lovely video mate xx
Thanks so much 🙂
Def keep plugging gear it’s really useful for someone who is just deciding to start out wild camping/hiking 👍
Waaow good job athena...beautiful... Cinematic.. 👍👍👍🙏👌
