Brilliant Andy. Finally some proper snow. Your face when you're checking the snow height from inside the tent is a picture. Like a kid on Christmas morning. Very envious and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.
Thanks Paul ayy i couldn't believe it mate when i woke i wandered what the hell had gone on lol couldn't quite believe it had got so deep but loved every minute.it was a task getting out the tent & digging it out was a job n half.ayy we need to get another sorted we'll sort somet soon tfw mate.Andy.
Just watched this one and can't believe how much snow there was, awesome video as usual and content, have watched loads of your videos but haven't seen this one yet. Brilliant 👍
Class mate class !! Well Andy you said you wanted a bit o snow ! Smiled all the way through watching this one great shots of fantastic conditions. Keep it up bud 👍
Looks exciting. Can’t believe you pitched in a dip where you were more likely to get buried in. Nuts. Your mate pitched on the top, more wind etc but less chance of a burial. Cracking video, I’m nearly 60 never wild camped but just about to start doing. Covinced my misses to come with me. I won’t show her this video just yet though. 🤪. Absolutely loved the video. I live at the foot of the Peak District, it’s on my doorstep. Very lucky, need to get out there now. 👍❤️🏔
Can be brutal in those conditions but i love it up there when it's like that.ayy i'd pitched there thinking i was just out the worst of the wind little did i know it was a prime drift spot,the soulo dealt with the snow load easily though.you are very lucky living on the doorstep of the peak district,it's an hours drive for me which aint bad really but do wish i loved closer..get your'e self out wildcamping now im sure you'll enjoy it.tfw.Andy.
Thanks Chris ayy a cracking plan B & glad of it too,kinder at it's best & worst that mate.in those conditions real care has to be taken not a place for inexperienced folk.tfw mate.Andy.
Thanks Bill ayy the tent is a great tent & designed to shed such conditions easily..ahh kes now that's a film i love it,was all filmed not too far away from where i live actually & freddie fletcher who played jud has an allotment in the next village to me.great stuff..tfw.Andy.
Could tell by the smile on your face you enjoyed that one , everything perfect I bet you glad you changed your plans . Brilliant camp Andy and a really enjoyable watch , I need just to get out lol TFS atb Dave ❄️⛺️👍🏻
Thanks John ayy unwittingly id pitched there for a bit of shelter but not for one second did i think it would end up drifted as deep as it did lol.tfw.Andy.
@@AndrewBeavers Yeah that was a great position in that dip out the wind and elements. I had similar over at mad woman stones some years ago. Like I said before I used to use the peaks for training and it was before mobile phones and TH-cam. Early to mid 90s. I'm still working on my injury from last year and I'm hoping to get back up in the peak late this year. Great videos and like I said before an inspiration to me to get better and get back up their 👌👌..
Wow you really did get buried in the snow there haha, looked like you had a fantastic time though and views in the morning were absolutely gorgeous. Nice one!! Roll on winter... 🥶🥶🥶 ATB... Chris ✌🏼
Cracking video Andrew. Bad laughing when you said my poles are under there somewhere haha. I did my first wild camp in the snow on Wednesday but it was nothing compared to how deep that was. Everyone said I was mad but it was fantastic I loved it
Thanks Paul ayy in hindsight i ought to have stood them up but i never thought it was gonna end up as deep as it did lol.i did retrieve them eventually after spending an age digging the tent out.hope you enjoyed your'e first snow camp & im sure you will be eager to get out in it again lol.tfw.Andy.
Great camp .hopefully one day I'll get a snow camp .my saitaris is too heavy and large for a wild camp . But maybe I'll find a camp site open all year round .stay safe and god bless.
Superb, Andy. Proper winter camp that. Perfect conditions! Looked like a great camp. Stunning colour in the sky in the morning too. Great vid as always mate. Take it easy. ATB... thanks for sharing as always!! Nice pants by the way 😉
Thanks Craig ayy a belter mate just what ive been wanting to experience a deep snow camp like that.the morning with the cloud & colour was amazing proper atmospheric.hope your'e well mate will we see you out soon.tfw.Andy.
Andrew Beavers no worries mate! I’m hoping so... had a lot on with work etc at the minute. Bags been packed for weeks 😂 started a masters degree and some of the sessions are on weekends. I’m hoping in the next couple of weeks I can get back out though! 👍🏼 take it easy Andy!
Great video Andy, I have those spikes too. They are the best in my opinion. We are in the Lakes now, doing Hodgson's Leap tomorrow then into Keswick for a few more days of walking. No camping though this time. Camping (for work) next week in The Cotswolds. Stay safe buddy x
Thanks Dawn ayy the kahtoola's are a great piece of kit they have come in handy on more than a few occasions.i had planned on the lakes but with all the flooding i re-planned for the peaks & so glad i did,i will be back in the lakes again soon though.tfw.Andy.
Andy, I totally share your exhilaration I was camped on Crookstone knoll on the same night, thought it was still dark until snow fell off my soulo Enjoyed my breakfast in Edale! Cheers Dave
Thanks David it was a great night & that morning was amazing at sunrise until the blizzard came over again.hope you had a good night over there,were you camped in the bowl or up top.tfw.Andy.
Brilliant Andy, really enjoyed that! Glad you got the dumping of snow you were hoping for, and great to see the Hilleberg Soulo standing strong under challenging conditions 💪🏻❄️ Atb fella
Thanks David ayy i was glad of the deep snow just what ive been after experiencing.the soulo is designed just for that type of thing & never once doubted it would stand up to it.tfw.Andy.
Like you andy, love being out in the snow, can't get out at moment due to family commitments. But like watching you obviously enjoying yer sel in the snow.. look forward to your next one.
As always, love your videos mate. I went to University in Sheffield 92-95 so know the area well and as I now live in Australia it's fantastic to see your stuff. Keep posting, it's much appreciated here by me in the Land Down Under!
I was up there today on a day walk went up grindsbrook woolpacks crowden tower stunning up there and what a cracking video really captured the intensity of the weather
Lucky you didn't need a shovel to get out in the morning Andy - just after 11 mins it showed your poles flat on the ground outside the tent and I wondered whether you would leave them there or stand them up!. Brill vid, ATB Phil
Thanks Phil ayy i could have done with one..now on the list along with a lot of other stuff lol..in hindsight i should have stood the poles up but i never for a minute thought it was gonna end up that deep,it was interesting getting them out.tfw.Andy.
You were smiling like a Cheshire Cat when you saw that snow Andy. Well jealous mate, had none over my way, just more rain. It looked like a cracking camp. TYFS Jiffy 👍🏻
Andy not sure how else to reach out but just a quick message to see if you and the family are all well and to let you know, really missing your awesome adventures buddy, heres to some great wild camps during the second half of the year, stay safe and look forward to that bell notification pinging in the inbox
Hi John & thanks for the message..yeah all good here,well..as well as can be given the situation.really hoping this thing is on top of once this further 3 week lockdown is coming to an end.really missing getting out & i had already some plans this month that have had to go on the back burner. Hope you & your'e family are doing well too mate keep safe & when this is all over that bell will be ringing again pal i promise ;-)..Andy.
Class vid Andy, looked epic. When you've got the kit you can camp in full winter with no issues as this vid proves. Brill viewing mate, I'm deffo gonna have to get myself across that way at some point 👍atb mate
Thanks Dave ayy proper kit is deffo needed in those conditions 30 mph winds & -8 windchill i had on the exposed parts.i was totally surprised how deep the snow got mate but the soulo took it like i knew it would..proper wildcamping mate loved it.we need to get one arranged mate it's been too long.tfw.Andy.
@@edshike7581 ayy if its a Westerly it usually is bad up there,it whips across kinder over the valley & straight over Derwent edge.some good sheltered spots though up there.
Was at the Rambler Inn Edale week before last; 33 degrees, so gave up any thought of getting up onto Grindslow via Ringing Rodger. Heat exhaustion/stroke can kill. Very different in the winter though.
Well Andy mate what an awesome vid in perfect conditions, that snow was deep lol. I might try a peaks one very soon if the snow and weather keep up. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully get out real soon. Take care Steve
Thanks Steve ayy it's the one snow camp iv'e been wanting as tha knows a proper deep one & boy did i get it.awesome conditions up there when it's like that & those white out conditions when it comes in like that get you on your'e toes..forecast heavy for next few days mate & into wknd get thi sen down.tfw mate & hopefully see thi soon.Andy.
haha lol fantastic Andy!! really put a smile on my face when you're unzipping the tent in the morning! crumbs mate the drifts were superb. The sunrise too, a dream come true.Well done on your determination to get up there in those conditions and your mate was brave using a Golite in those winds, not sure I would use one of those in that weather. :))))))))) The last time you chatted to me on youtube you said how brutal it can be on kinder Tim
Hi Tim hope your'e well mate..ayy the last time we spoke i was saying how brutal it can be & this in periods was just that,with the right gear though it can be an enjoyable experience to be out in those conditions.i'd been wanting a deep snow camp & although i did pitch in a prime drift spot it was great.the morning light at sunrise was to behold such atmospheric scenes beautiful.ayy Bryn didn't arrive til after dark & he just pitched where he thought best,the following morning he said he didn't sleep a wink & there had been a load of snow drifted under the tent..i slept like a baby & the soulo took the snow load well lol...tfw.Andy.
thats a proper good camp theer Andy. was looking at gowin snowdonia this wickeend but its mower liyk tu bi floodid. i understond thi mon, cunciderin im a lancysheer lad ( wigun)
Great stuff Andy we get those conditions regular up here been told the snow is waist deep in places. Pity I've been stuck at work for 3 months. Glad you got a snow camp done its no harder than a 3 season camp I find unless the real wild stuff hits. Feels more of an adventure in the snow but once you get over 3,000ft it can get serious. Hope you get more done Wales be great at 3,000ft the glyders etc. Good watch no promoting gear or cooking 7 course meals proper wildcamping.Atb.
Thanks Eddie ayy i know these conditions are only a percentage of what it can be like up your'e way & one day i'm gonna have to sort a trip up there hopefully winter time,the conditions still though in these places down here aren't to be taken lightly & to be treated with full respect.. really hoping to get to wales this year & hopefully whilst there's still a bit of winter left that'd be great to experience.ayy i'm not the type to promote gear & review this that & the other,there's plenty of that going on on other channels.always say & always will i like to show it how it is & give a good representation of just what's out there for folk to enjoy.tfw mate Andy.
@@AndrewBeavers Yes Andy Peak District looks great and it was proper winter conditions. I will get there just need to get transport sorted £175 return train ticket was a shocker. Luke near there so I talk to him about it. ATB.
@@ScotsWildcamper £175 that's steep ridiculas that..you'd think they'd make train fares cheaper to encourage train travel but it'd be cheaper in car..yes let me know when you talk to luke & we can try arrange a get together 👍
Alreet there Andy, You certainly look like the cat that's got the cream on this adventure. The Soulo tent is 'bomb proof' like all the Hilleburg tents. Must give you a lot of confidence. Tha might need a shovel next time ol'lad. ATB Andy. Mick.
Thanks Mick ayy a shovel has gone on list i certainly could have done wi one it was interesting digging tent out.never doubted soulo for a second,i was surprised to wake & see it so deep but the tent deals with it so well.tfw.Andy.
It's been a while Andy but all I can say is, brilliant! You're hopes came into being mate in good style. There was drama in this from the start. Is it or isn't it? Will it or won't it? Yeah, I can see why you had a ball on this one. Good going. Mark
Been a winter camp ive been wanting for many winters this one Mark & i finally got it.i didn't quite expect it to be as deep as it got but that made it all the more fun,it was interesting digging the tent out for sure.tfw mate & keep safe.Andy.
Always a pleasure to watch your vids, very informative, you have a great understanding of your surroundings and local knowledge. Cracking camp mate........cheers...Stu...👍👌
Gordon Bennett Andy! That looked pretty extreme. I bet the mountain hares liked it too. Good job you have the Soulo as I can't imagine many tents being able to stand up to those conditions. Was you able to get a decent night's kip? Anyway, an absolute classic that....fair play to you. Best wishes, Chris
Thanks Chris ayy the tent is designed for that type of thing mate so dealt with it easily.slept like a babbi too i always do,i wear ear plugs so unless it's totally mental the wind i sleep well.it's one ill always recall fondly this one in future when remembering winter camps.tfw.Andy.
Smashing vid Andrew!! By you did look chuffed in the morning mate. Proper snow camp,a rare thing nowerdays in blighty!. Have you a link to your mates channel?. I really enjoyed this one...as I'm sure you did..all the best Fraser
Thanks Fraser i was well chuffed mate,iv'e had many snow camps now but yet to have had one where the snow was heavy overnight & the tent was snowed in..that experience now well & truly experienced lol..tfw mate.Andy.
Thanks Phil ayy thats why they are the money they are,the soulo is designed for just that type of thing.never for one second did i doubt it's ability in those conditions.tfw.Andy.
Hi Andy, great video as always, I'm hoping to be camping on kinder tomorrow, just one question, why do you opt for the ski goggles in snow, is it just to keep it out of your eyes?
Hi Luke ayy the goggles are used for when there's high winds & hail/snow nothing worse than walking into that mate it can be like nails belting you in the face at times & being barely able to see where your'e walking.tfw mate.Andy.
That was stunning Andy! Winter wild camping at its best! If it had got any colder and the snow drifted higher you could have made yourself an igloo! 😂 I have a pair of those Katahoolas like yours, really useful piece of kit. ATB Anthony 👍👍👍
Thanks Anthony ayy proper winter stuff that & i really enjoyed it.the spikes are a great piece of kit,come in handy on more than a few occasions.tfw.Andy.
Hi Alan it's something i'm looking to include going forward i do enjoy my photography & where conditions etc allow i'll be including a few photo's of locations etc in the video's.tfw.Andy.
Brilliant Andy, you really enjoyed that one, can’t believe how deep that drift got overnight 😎😎 I knew it was going to be a challenge finding your pegs 😂😂 similar conditions to when you had your zephyros a few years back mate.... bloody freezing 🥶🥶🥶🥶 well done mate and keep em coming. Atb.Tony
Thanks Tony.. ayy that one with the zephyros was a cold un too but the snow on this one was unreal..i''d pitched the tent in a little hollow just to get out the wind a bit little did i know it would be a prime drift spot lol.it was certainly interesting digging the pegs out a good 3 feet deep tfw mate.Andy.
Struth! I loved watching this, thank you. It makes me grateful - for living near such a beautiful part of the country and for being safe and warm.
it was a camp ill always remember this one great outing tfw.

thanks & tfw.
Ive had many a day walk on Kinder ....But this video on a different scale ...Brilliant Andy
Great watch ! The things you do to keep us entertained ! keep it up

@@edshike7581 ayy if its a Westerly it usually is bad up there,it whips across kinder over the valley & straight over Derwent edge.some good sheltered spots though up there.
Was at the Rambler Inn Edale week before last; 33 degrees, so gave up any thought of getting up onto Grindslow via Ringing Rodger. Heat exhaustion/stroke can kill. Very different in the winter though.
Fantastic as always Andy 🙏
Thanks Dougie & tfw.Andy.
Brilliant, cheers.
Thanks Dave & tfw.Andy.
Well Andy mate what an awesome vid in perfect conditions, that snow was deep lol. I might try a peaks one very soon if the snow and weather keep up. Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully get out real soon. Take care Steve
Thanks Steve ayy it's the one snow camp iv'e been wanting as tha knows a proper deep one & boy did i get it.awesome conditions up there when it's like that & those white out conditions when it comes in like that get you on your'e toes..forecast heavy for next few days mate & into wknd get thi sen down.tfw mate & hopefully see thi soon.Andy.
haha lol fantastic Andy!! really put a smile on my face when you're unzipping the tent in the morning! crumbs mate the drifts were superb. The sunrise too, a dream come true.Well done on your determination to get up there in those conditions and your mate was brave using a Golite in those winds, not sure I would use one of those in that weather. :))))))))) The last time you chatted to me on youtube you said how brutal it can be on kinder Tim
Hi Tim hope your'e well mate..ayy the last time we spoke i was saying how brutal it can be & this in periods was just that,with the right gear though it can be an enjoyable experience to be out in those conditions.i'd been wanting a deep snow camp & although i did pitch in a prime drift spot it was great.the morning light at sunrise was to behold such atmospheric scenes beautiful.ayy Bryn didn't arrive til after dark & he just pitched where he thought best,the following morning he said he didn't sleep a wink & there had been a load of snow drifted under the tent..i slept like a baby & the soulo took the snow load well lol...tfw.Andy.
@@AndrewBeavers haha Brilliant!
Been looking forward to seeing this, since seeing the pictures on Instagram! Brilliant as always 👍🏻

@@AndrewBeavers theres not much difference between lancs and yorkshire dialect. Love your accent Mate.
Just watched this video.... can't wait for winter now 🤗
Hi Andrew what a great video what was it like in the tent not to cold 👍
Thanks Jeffrey it wasn't bad in the tent actually..the snow actually acts as insulation from the wind keeping it a tad warmer in there.tfw.Andy.
amazing content
Thanks & tfw.Andy.
Great stuff Andy we get those conditions regular up here been told the snow is waist deep in places. Pity I've been stuck at work for 3 months. Glad you got a snow camp done its no harder than a 3 season camp I find unless the real wild stuff hits. Feels more of an adventure in the snow but once you get over 3,000ft it can get serious. Hope you get more done Wales be great at 3,000ft the glyders etc. Good watch no promoting gear or cooking 7 course meals proper wildcamping.Atb.
Thanks Eddie ayy i know these conditions are only a percentage of what it can be like up your'e way & one day i'm gonna have to sort a trip up there hopefully winter time,the conditions still though in these places down here aren't to be taken lightly & to be treated with full respect..
really hoping to get to wales this year & hopefully whilst there's still a bit of winter left that'd be great to experience.ayy i'm not the type to promote gear & review this that & the other,there's plenty of that going on on other channels.always say & always will i like to show it how it is & give a good representation of just what's out there for folk to enjoy.tfw mate Andy.
@@AndrewBeavers Yes Andy Peak District looks great and it was proper winter conditions. I will get there just need to get transport sorted £175 return train ticket was a shocker. Luke near there so I talk to him about it. ATB.
@@ScotsWildcamper £175 that's steep ridiculas that..you'd think they'd make train fares cheaper to encourage train travel but it'd be cheaper in car..yes let me know when you talk to luke & we can try arrange a get together 👍
Cracking video fella
Thanks & tfw.Andy.
Brilliant andy mate that was some snow up there you definitely need to have the right kit to do that atvb Jimmy 😎😎
Thanks Jimmy ayy you need the right gear to be safe in those conditions.tfw.Andy.
Alreet there Andy,
You certainly look like the cat that's got the cream on this adventure.
The Soulo tent is 'bomb proof' like all the Hilleburg tents. Must give you a lot of confidence.
Tha might need a shovel next time ol'lad.
ATB Andy.
Mick.
Thanks Mick ayy a shovel has gone on list i certainly could have done wi one it was interesting digging tent out.never doubted soulo for a second,i was surprised to wake & see it so deep but the tent deals with it so well.tfw.Andy.
It's been a while Andy but all I can say is, brilliant! You're hopes came into being mate in good style. There was drama in this from the start. Is it or isn't it? Will it or won't it? Yeah, I can see why you had a ball on this one. Good going. Mark
Been a winter camp ive been wanting for many winters this one Mark & i finally got it.i didn't quite expect it to be as deep as it got but that made it all the more fun,it was interesting digging the tent out for sure.tfw mate & keep safe.Andy.
@@AndrewBeavers It's good when a plan works out Andy and why not indeed. Good going.
Lovely - looks like youhad a good night! What was your mates tent? A HexPeak??
Thanks Angela & tfw the tent was a shangri la golite..Andy.
Always a pleasure to watch your vids, very informative, you have a great understanding of your surroundings and local knowledge. Cracking camp mate........cheers...Stu...👍👌
Thanks Stu ayy i like to know the area & around kinder i know it quite well.tfw.Andy.
That looked a really great and challenging camp ! it's a good feeling knowing you can relax from elements once inside a trusty tent like a hilleberg 🙂
Thanks & ayy i never doubted the ability of the soulo keeping me safe in those conditions.tfw.Andy.
Gordon Bennett Andy! That looked pretty extreme. I bet the mountain hares liked it too. Good job you have the Soulo as I can't imagine many tents being able to stand up to those conditions. Was you able to get a decent night's kip? Anyway, an absolute classic that....fair play to you. Best wishes, Chris
Thanks Chris ayy the tent is designed for that type of thing mate so dealt with it easily.slept like a babbi too i always do,i wear ear plugs so unless it's totally mental the wind i sleep well.it's one ill always recall fondly this one in future when remembering winter camps.tfw.Andy.
Looks great. I have no checked all comments below...but do you have a kit list I could learn from?
Rgds
Imran
Just started doing a bit of wild camping, this is on another level, total respect to you.
Smashing vid Andrew!! By you did look chuffed in the morning mate. Proper snow camp,a rare thing nowerdays in blighty!. Have you a link to your mates channel?. I really enjoyed this one...as I'm sure you did..all the best
Fraser
Thanks Fraser i was well chuffed mate,iv'e had many snow camps now but yet to have had one where the snow was heavy overnight & the tent was snowed in..that experience now well & truly experienced lol..tfw mate.Andy.
And that's why the Hillebergs cost so much, my tent would have been on the deck 😂😂😂. Great adventure Andy thanks for sharing ATB Phil 👍
Thanks Phil ayy thats why they are the money they are,the soulo is designed for just that type of thing.never for one second did i doubt it's ability in those conditions.tfw.Andy.
Hi Andy, great video as always, I'm hoping to be camping on kinder tomorrow, just one question, why do you opt for the ski goggles in snow, is it just to keep it out of your eyes?
Hi Luke ayy the goggles are used for when there's high winds & hail/snow nothing worse than walking into that mate it can be like nails belting you in the face at times & being barely able to see where your'e walking.tfw mate.Andy.
Niice one getting better and bette, just wish id have the balls to camp up there in those conditions
Thanks Keith & tfw.Andy.
That was stunning Andy! Winter wild camping at its best! If it had got any colder and the snow drifted higher you could have made yourself an igloo! 😂 I have a pair of those Katahoolas like yours, really useful piece of kit. ATB Anthony 👍👍👍
Thanks Anthony ayy proper winter stuff that & i really enjoyed it.the spikes are a great piece of kit,come in handy on more than a few occasions.tfw.Andy.
Good stuff Andy. Subbed for more 👍.
Thanks & tfw.Andy.
Can you include the photos you take in the vlog as well.??
Hi Alan it's something i'm looking to include going forward i do enjoy my photography & where conditions etc allow i'll be including a few photo's of locations etc in the video's.tfw.Andy.
Brilliant Andy, you really enjoyed that one, can’t believe how deep that drift got overnight 😎😎 I knew it was going to be a challenge finding your pegs 😂😂 similar conditions to when you had your zephyros a few years back mate.... bloody freezing 🥶🥶🥶🥶 well done mate and keep em coming. Atb.Tony
Thanks Tony.. ayy that one with the zephyros was a cold un too but the snow on this one was unreal..i''d pitched the tent in a little hollow just to get out the wind a bit little did i know it would be a prime drift spot lol.it was certainly interesting digging the pegs out a good 3 feet deep tfw mate.Andy.
