Hi Patrick. I live in Stockport and often look longingly at kinder in the distance . Never circumnavigated the edge but walked the western edge many times. You have inspired me to camp. Cheers.
Hi Pat I’m still working my way through your videos 💓. Enjoyed this one very much.. what stunning scenery! Thanks for sharing. Would love to do that walk one day, especially while the heather is out in full bloom - just beautiful! Much love, Ginette xXx
Hi Ginette, yes beautiful place when the weather is fine and clear, I camped up there last week, video will be out later in the week. I had one sunny day and next day could not see anything for low cloud, still a beautiful place.....thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Dear Pat, I shall look forward to that. I bought myself a treat the other day - a bottle of Glenmorangie…I shall pour a nip and enjoy watching your latest adventures! Much love, Ginette xXx
Another fabulous video Patrick. I was camped just down the valley around Jaggers Clough myself two weeks ago. I'll be happy when my videos are as entertaining as yours and I'd love to have the same knowledge of the local area. some of your photos are stunning. Keep up the great work.
Hi Paul and thanks for comments I suppose the more videos you do the better we all get, been into photography since was a boy photographing wildlife etc on basic manual camera so made you learn about how camera works. The bit that causes me problems is the computer side of it due to my age probably, but learning all the time thanks again Pat
Hi there.....I enjoy your wee videos and glimpses of the lovely English countryside... I am from Stockton on Tees in County Durham, but have lived in the USA for many years.. Presently based in Southern California where it’s a desert...so it’s grand to see all the nice greenery......reminds me of my days as a young lad, going rambling through the woods and in the summer meadows with my wee dog... Really enjoyed the pub crawl vid as well.. (might try making one myself)... Thanks a lot sir.. Cheers Stuart....
Love your vids Pat, I look forward to all your fantastic outdoor meals, bet they taste wonderfully good in the fresh air. Keep the videos coming, love seeing the brilliant countryside that you visit.
Truly wonderful Patrick. I have never visited the Peak District but it is now on the list. Stunning pictures and footage and I know exactly what you mean when you say how hard it is to walk past a view without capturing it, a moment in time. A great comment at the end regarding the learning of local landmarks to aid navigation. Thank you for sharing. Happy wandering. Paul :)
Hi Paul yes a great walk with the Peak District showing its wounderful summer colours. the edge path is such a great path as once you have got the climb up out the way about one hour then there are views all the time.Thanks for watching and comments Pat
What a joy for me to be able to see all the places my brother told me about but for other reasons I was never able to get up there. Absolutely wonderful video and so professional too. Love the fact you added the locations, as so many people fail to do when they do videos. Thank you so much.
Hi again Phyliss yes Kinder Scout is one of our high places in the Peak District, but very small compared to the Scotish mountains. Its a place you can walk and hopefully not see anybody for a few hours. looked at a couple of your video, I worked in Rotherham as a Electrical Engineer in the 1990,s replaced many substations including Oakwood Secondary School as it was called, and Thomas Rotherham College next door, only seems like yesterday but that how time fly's. Thanks for your comments and watching Pat
Thanks pat for allowing us to join you on this walk great pictures great views great place to be much appreciated pat I was with you in spirit it's also a favourite place of mine
Hi Richard, same as you Kinder Scout is a favorite place to go especially when I want some peace and quite and a feeling of solitude, thanks for watching and commenting Pat
Wonderful, did Kinder last week. 3days up the mountain carrying 3 days rations. I'm used to flat east anglia so a bit of a shock and bloody hard work but oh so worth it. Going from mermaids pool upto the downfall was the heaviest going. Much steeper than anticipated!
Yes Andy, but once that initial steep climb is over the rest is easy, with a different amazing view round each bend. One of my favourite places, be back up there soon, thanks Pat
Looked like a great few days out, good for the soul and nothing beats watching the crowds walk off back down while you have it all to yourself. Thanks for sharing and hope you're still enjoying the er6. ATB Steve
Hi Steve yes this was one of the best walks I have done , every few minutes the view changes, you feel like you are on top of the world up on kinder such a great place, still using the bike when I have time and still enjoying the rides round the Peak district, all the best Pat
Fantastic video buddy, really enjoyed taking the trip around with you. I admire your spirit Patrick and your enthusiasm for movie making. Great piece of movie configuration. Thank you Dr Paul.
hi Simon yes the weather was great a bit warm at times when climbing up but a constant breeze kept me cool. Can,t complain as its usually thick mist or fog or raining up on Kinder. thanks for watching Pat
Hi Martin yes i ,ve got to agree the views were fantastic spent more time taking photos than walking but was worth it as the weather up there is not always so kind, thanks for watching Pat
You should never have to feel like you need to apologize for beautiful pictures!! Well done Pat.. l enjoyed the walk and all the beauty of your countryside.. thank you for the video once again..
Hi Tim every corner or rock you walked past gave a different view, must of spent half time walking other half just taking photos, impossible to reject any as all great views, such a great walk,thanks for watching Pat
Hi Patrick just did this the opposite way around on Wednesday. Went up Crowden clough scrambled near the waterfalls. I camped up past Seal edge. The weather was great and not too hot. I came down Ringing Rodger. This is my 6th wild camp this year and I have been impressed by your routes and even inspired to do this at 52. Well into the camping now thanks and atb Dave.
Hi Dave so many great places to camp up on Kinder, at least as we get older we hopefully have more time to do the things we enjoy. I cannot ever envisage not being able to go out wild camping. I,am hoping to camp on Kinder probably October time coming up from Hayfield on the Manchester side to try and get some views of Manchester by night. All the best Pat
Hi Umar really nice walk if you get some clear weather to take in the views, navigation pretty easy once your on the edge path if weather is clear, not so straightforward if mist and cloud come down. Hope you have a great walk all the best Pat
Hi Carl yes the Peak District although not to high only 600 meters at highest point has such a variety of places to walk and camp, thanks for comments and watching Pat
great video Pat I've not been wild camping for about 35 years but you have rekindled my enthusiasm I am used to tame campsites nowadays I'm about five years older than and I've slowed down a bit but I hope to find a nice site that's not a long hike keep up the good work
Thanks for this excellent video Patrick. It’s one of the best I’ve seen of the peaks by far, keep up the great work & hopefully may bump into ya up there one day.
Russ Lynch Hi Russ, amazing walk this, a different view round every bend and once the initial climb is out the way it's a nice easy walk, all the best Pat
As usual Patrick excellent entertaining video. As someone stated you can be quite amusing at times. What a beautiful walk, good work out. I'd love to do this myself one day.
Hi yes this is a really great walk such fantastic scenery round every corner, once yo have got the initial climb out the way its basically a level ridge walk, hope you try it out one day thanks for watching Pat
Nice one pat. Great to see familiar landscapes. I've camped at crowden tower (wet) and walked from edale to grindslow knoll. I think we walked up to ringing Rodger on our camp too. Do I know how steep it is. Your right about getting familiar with landmarks. Very useful good tip there. I too prefer the autumn winter camps for the same reasons. I'm off up to Scotland next week. Midge and rain hell. Gotta love this wildcamping. Lol. Thanks for taking us along . look forward to more adventures from you. Atb Andy.
Hi Andy must be my favorite place in the Peak District as so wild, although in summer you can be saying hello, hello, hello to dozens of people up there. Winters great as you get the place to yourself and I sometimes wonder were every body has gone, not complaining though. Once the initial climb is out the way the walking round the edge is easy, stray off the path and venture into the central area and and its another world, I ,ve got disorientated many a time. Enjoy your trip to Scotland, may the sun beat down on you, all the best Pat
Hi Dominic glad you enjoyed video must admit the views on this walk were fantastic, will be back up there in Autumn and Winter hope we get some snow this year, thanks for watching Pat
Excellent. Was planning same trip, including train to Edale. Will be my first in a year because of illness. So a booster to see a very good preview. Once again, excellent.
Hi Billy yes Kinder is a great place to walk, the edge path is easy navigation and great views as you can see. A lot of people just do a section at a time, gives you more time to admire the views, all the best Pat
Great video Patrick. Been planning to do Kinder for long while but not got round to it. Think I'm going to try doing the same route soon. Great pics, thanks for sharing.
Hi Adam September a good time as quieter now school hols over although anytime on Kinder is a great time just different challenges. The northern edges are the best and you can walk for hours without seeing a soul. Thanks for watching all the best Pat
I just found your channel and i'm delighted that there's another peak district walking channel! Your videos are extremely professional and atmospheric, and very inspiring too.
Hi and thanks for comments, much appreciated, this was a great walk and I was blessed with beautiful weather, must get back up on Kinder soon, thanks again Pat
Patrick I really enjoyed the video (and others) .Thanks for the effort and detail you put into this and all your videos in which your enjoyment come shining through. Having just been on my first wild camp - which was up Crookstone knoll - I've definitely got the bug to be up there again soon. Nothing like waking up to such a morning. I hope to put my video together soon of my own camp adventure. I have to work out the water situation too as so heavy to carry up so thanks for the sawyer filter heads up. Will be learning as I go along. Stephen.
hi Stephen, I think we are all still learning, with new gear and experimenting with new food or how to reduce our pack weight part of the fun and what makes wild camping interesting. First wild camp in always a adventure, now you know you can do it and start planning new camps, all the best Pat
Great video, We've been up via Jacobs ladder and down to barber booth about 7 times, We did it in both directions, We camps a few times as well. Going to do that, Thanks for the info
Hi Johny The weather was kind to me and enabled me to get the photos I wanted, been up there so many times and can,t see more than 10 meters,thanks for watching Pat
Hi there weather was great for Kinder as can be very wet and misty at times. Concentrated on walk and views on this one, there is only so much time on video so thought I would miss the cooking side out. Will be important part of other videos as I have my dehydrator to experiment with, thanks for watching Pat
Humans worse than midges. I've never heard that one before Patrick. Mind you the route planned promised great things. And so it was mate with the opening climb. Fantastic vista! Well, you did eventually get the hills to yourself with some of the best filtered water this side of Manchester. Another fabulous outing. All the best. Mark.
Hi Mark , I suppose humans are not that bad its just nice to have the hills to yourself, great walk, great views what more can you ask for and that Kinder water taste great even though still a bit brown in colour, all the best pat
Patrick Dickinson Hey Pat I loved it....resonated with the hike and the water. It tasted good from here. If you like my latest upload is all about water and the taste of it...a good little adventure. Any way, all the best. Mark.
Hi Chris yes I was really lucky with the weather 2 clear days on the trot allowed me to get the photos i wanted, many a time I, ve been up there could not see further than 10 meters, thanks for watching Pat
Hi Julie worth all the puffing and panting climbing up Ringing Rodger for that fantastic view, a really great walk with a different view round each bend. Looking forward to camping on Kinder Scout in the next couple of months as the seasons change and we approach winter, praying for some snow as we got very little last winter, thanks for comments and watching all the best Pat
Hi Pat, enjoyed watching your video. Glad you put on all the pics. Not been out walking round kinder for a a long time now. Makes me want to get back out there. Closet place I was last was over hayfield way, up at mt famine and out the way. The midges are a pain and I agree with you regarding when people come along its time to move on to somewhere else on your own. Looking forward to your next video. All the best!
Hi Simon yes when I looked throu my photos I took I did not want to leave any out as they were all part of the walk and great views, I was pleased how they worked out as majority were taken on my Sony mobile phone easier than getting my DSLR out, thanks for watching and commenting Pat
Patrick Dickinson yes all those pics are great. I get like that a bit sometimes and don't really want to exclude any pics. The camera on your phone is very good getting all those decent shots. You're welcome about the comment. Looking forward to your next adventure. All the best. Simon
Patrick you are what TH-cam was meant for all them years ago. Brilliant channel. I remember messaging you ages ago that I'd take you down Flo Selecta in Derby. Offer still stands.
Wow stunning views.. glad you didn't reject to many pictures mate.. Camping in that area tomorrow.. looking forward to it even more after watching this.. Take it easy - ATB - Marcus
Dead Fall Outdoors Hi Carl yes beautifully up on Kinder at this time of the year, or anytime of the year, some of those views are amazing, glad you enjoyed it, all the best Pat
Hi Mark The weather sort of made it a lot of time on Kinder you are lucky to see 10 meters due to mist and rain. A view round each corner, I spent more time photographing than walking so many great views,all the best Pat
Hi Kev yes its a straight forward walk round the edge path and once you have got the initial climb out the way its pretty easy going, and the views are fantastic, all the best Pat
Great stuff Patrick. I'm planning that walk for my next trip, hopefully some time this year, £24 return from Liverpool for me, which is not a bad price for a good little adventure.
Good price that from Liverpool, take it you,LL start at Edale, hard climb up but straight forward after that, a amazing walk with fantastic views round each bend, you will love it, all the best Pat
I really enjoyed this video. I thought the way you broke up the tramping sections with still photos of the highlights was an excellent idea. Keep it up Patrick.
matauboy Hi yes the quality of a still photo sometimes better than video and a lot quicker, thigh I did spend more time photographing than walking, but with a different view round each corner what else could I do, thanks Pat
Hi Bryan and thanks for kind comments makes all the filming and editing worthwhile, i was lucky with the weather and got some great photos, thanks again Pat
No need for the apologies Pat some cracking photos there pal brilliant views.Been round that perimeter path but in sections on different days doing different walks/camps my self but I'd never considered doing the full walk in one.Would love to have a crack at it now after watching you're vid & thinking to my self it must be a cracking walk.You looked as always like you enjoyed you're self apart from the ascent of ringing Roger of course ;-) atb Andy.
Hi Andy yes its a great walk to do in one go, if done in a day then simple day pack makes it easier. I did it a few years ago as a day walk and once the climbs out the way its a simple walk with very little navigation, as long as it stays clear. One of my favorite parts of Peak District so back up there in few days, Thanks for comments all the best Pat
Great Video Patrick, and some good photography. I know what you mean about other people, I am fortunate to get out mid week...so always quieter. sometimes you just want these places all to yourself.
Hi Steve its great if you can get out midweek sometimes you can walk for several hours until you meet another walker. The northern edge of kinder scout is like that as its a bit more remote and awkward to get to, a great place. thanks for watching all the best Pat
Hi there thought the info would be usefu,l a lot of the views etc I new but some I had to research and also interesting in discovering why certain rocks had such unusual names, thanks for watching and commenting Pat
Hi Pat. Love your videos. They are inspiring me for the upcoming season. What type of water filter are you using. I couldn't quite make out the make from the video. Thanks.
Hi Tom, I would say get out no matter what, it's all waiting for you. The water filter I used was a Sawyer Mini Filters, very lightweight and small and easy to use. All the best Pat
Hi there,midges are bad enough but when there crowds of people time to get off somewhere on my own. luckily most of the time you can walk for miles on Kinder without seeing a soul especially in Winter, Thanks for watching Pat
Oh I agree 100%! Was more a laughing with you in agreement :D The walk around Kinder plateau looked amazing. I really like the distances involved. Makes it a very appealing over nighter, not having to power hike. Added to my list :)
Hi Bill Kinder scout is a great place to walk and camp an hours walk from Edale where you can catch a train to then your up on a wild moorland plateau, another world, all the best Pat
Great video and very interesting history. I was with the Canadian Airforce in Germany 1978 to 1993 after Desert Storm. Now the Canadian F86 was built or modified in Canada also had 4 20m/m cannon instead of the 6 50 Caliber machineguns. Also these were probably from the Canadian Airforce Base's in France since De gaul kicked Nato out of France in Early 1960's.I believe Canada had a large amount of F86's in Europe probably 50 or more. PS,US F86 needed big seviceing about every 6 weeks many Stateside. There is a good book written by a Canadian F86 vet, called Into the Wild Blue .Great read and you will get a view into the many pranks which went on in Nato between ourselves. Enjoy the Read.PS. Spec wise the Canadian version did better for the pilots flying in them. Yhey were not sea versions
love it camping up there myself Patrick I was up there early august for a 1 nighter it was great all on my own on gringslow knoll looking down towards edale
hi Kevin yes Grindslow Knoll a great spot bivvyed there myself couple of years ago about 10M down from summit to get out the wind. Fantastic view looking down valley, all the best Pat
Hi there yep very lucky with the weather, although any time up on kinder scout is a great time. This is our highest area in the Peak district, jealous of all the great mountains and choice of areas you have in Scotland. all the best Pat
hi patrick great vid and as usual and one i can account with as i did myself many years ago . I did it in the opposite direction and went up crowden brook and overnighted at seal stones were i was awoken in the night by a sheep sheltering behind my tent . I Agree with a above comment about the photos none should have been rejected and ill admit youve done them all a credit by naming them and for once you can actually see were from there name comes from . keep up the good work andy
Hi Andrew yes very similar walk, Crowden Brook is a great walk up similar to all ways up Kinder very steep at the top but once your up the rest of the walking is easy. Interesting learning the names of the rocks and the history behind them, a great area to walk and camp, thanks again Pat
Hi Mike, yes I feel very lucky that kinder Scout is only a 20 min train ride from wear I like in Sheffield, each time I go up there I find something different or different views at different times of the year, looking forward to some snow this coming winter, all the best Pat
Throughly enjoyed this one Pat, the views and the out crops are amazing, walks like these really call to you as this has now to me, thanks to you... Having now broken my wild camping virginity, I can understand why so many people love it as I now am hooked... What did that water taste like? Looked peaty...
Hi Nat and thanks, the map will be from OS Explorer range, 1/25000 and it will be OL 1 for the dark peak. i photocopy the bit I want and just carry that bit and I can also write info on etc, thanks again Pat
The man made bowls cut in the gritstone are only found on stanedge. They were cut by mason called broomhead in 1907. All the other bowls on other moors formed naturally by wind/water erosion.
Hi yes it was a great walk made even better by fantastic weather, a lot of times when I, ve been up on Kinder you can,t see more than a few meters due to mist cloud or rain, so very lucky with the weather. Thanks for watching and all the best Pat
+Patrick Dickinson you do it very well watched most of your vids they are brill going to try and get out this winter once I've stocked up on some new gear :)
This is probably my favourite You Tube vid!! Looking to do this exact trip in a couple of weeks. Any idea if there's a mobile signal up there Pat? Thinking for emergency. Also do you reckon it will be dry enough up top to camp at the moment?
lincolnshire hiker Hi it's amazing up there, probably a bit wet at moment especially if you leave the outer perimeter path that I walked a long. But it is Ok to camp all year round, winter bring solitude, a bit more of a challenge but worth it for the feeling of adventure. I have camped at Fairbrook Naze, got a perfect 4g signal, a lot of the area up there has a mobile signal and bits don,t. You will have a amazing camp, all the best Pat
Super vid mate, inspired me to get out again, Ringing Roger looked a tough ascent clinging onto heather, bet it was tough going down, is that a fairly easy navigate route and what bivvy do you use? look forward to more.
Hi Michael Ringing Rodger is steep but the last bit and steepest only takes about 15 minutes, worth it for the view. The edge path is pretty easy to navigate on clear weather as you can see ahead and pick out the landmarks and rock etc and the path is well established but if the mist is down or foggy you can go wrong in winter Autumn or bad weather forcast I take a GPS and it has got me out of trouble a few times, if crossing over central area GPS and compass a must. The bivvy I use is the Rab Ridghe Raider, great bivvy with a single hooped pole so keeps bag off your face and makes bivvying a lot more comfortable than basic bag. Hope helpful all the best Pat
Hi Patrick. I live in Stockport and often look longingly at kinder in the distance . Never circumnavigated the edge but walked the western edge many times. You have inspired me to camp. Cheers.
Great that Lee, amazing place,may bump into you one day, thanks Pat
I enjoy the revisits as much as the new adventures, Patrick.
Thanks Seamus, I often look back myself...... all the best Pat 👍
Hi Pat
I’m still working my way through your videos 💓. Enjoyed this one very much.. what stunning scenery! Thanks for sharing. Would love to do that walk one day, especially while the heather is out in full bloom - just beautiful!

Great video, have been wanting to do the same route and it's made it much more clearer. Thank you

What a great place! Very enjoyable to watch, Pat.

Hi Andy must be my favorite place in the Peak District as so wild, although in summer you can be saying hello, hello, hello to dozens of people up there. Winters great as you get the place to yourself and I sometimes wonder were every body has gone, not complaining though. Once the initial climb is out the way the walking round the edge is easy, stray off the path and venture into the central area and and its another world, I ,ve got disorientated many a time. Enjoy your trip to Scotland, may the sun beat down on you, all the best Pat
Another great video, love the photos, I'll have to take a trip up there sometime.
Hi Simon, it is a beautiful area, a view round each corner, hard climb up, but after that it easy enjoyable walk, all the best Pat
Great video Patrick allways enjoy you videos keep them up thanks Dominic Norfolk.
Hi Dominic glad you enjoyed video must admit the views on this walk were fantastic, will be back up there in Autumn and Winter hope we get some snow this year, thanks for watching Pat
Excellent. Was planning same trip, including train to Edale. Will be my first in a year because of illness. So a booster to see a very good preview.
Once again, excellent.
My pleasure, such a fantastic walk.......... thanks Pat
Another great adventure ..thanks for sharing Pat
Hi Paul yes a great classic walk with fantastic views changing every few minutes, all the best Pat
super video once more Patrick. I've not walked around kinder scout before. Its on my list !
Hi Billy yes Kinder is a great place to walk, the edge path is easy navigation and great views as you can see. A lot of people just do a section at a time, gives you more time to admire the views, all the best Pat
Great video Patrick. Been planning to do Kinder for long while but not got round to it. Think I'm going to try doing the same route soon. Great pics, thanks for sharing.
Hi Adam September a good time as quieter now school hols over although anytime on Kinder is a great time just different challenges. The northern edges are the best and you can walk for hours without seeing a soul. Thanks for watching all the best Pat
I just found your channel and i'm delighted that there's another peak district walking channel! Your videos are extremely professional and atmospheric, and very inspiring too.
Hi and thanks for comments, much appreciated, this was a great walk and I was blessed with beautiful weather, must get back up on Kinder soon, thanks again Pat
Patrick I really enjoyed the video (and others) .Thanks for the effort and detail you put into this and all your videos in which your enjoyment come shining through. Having just been on my first wild camp - which was up Crookstone knoll - I've definitely got the bug to be up there again soon. Nothing like waking up to such a morning. I hope to put my video together soon of my own camp adventure. I have to work out the water situation too as so heavy to carry up so thanks for the sawyer filter heads up. Will be learning as I go along. Stephen.
hi Stephen, I think we are all still learning, with new gear and experimenting with new food or how to reduce our pack weight part of the fun and what makes wild camping interesting. First wild camp in always a adventure, now you know you can do it and start planning new camps, all the best Pat
Awesome vid, love the still pics...
Kinder Scout, one of my favourite areas, summer or winter, just a fantastic place to be, usually on your own and the place is yours, all the best Pat
It’s a real pleasure watching your videos Pat. Keep up the good work 👍
Simon Beresford Hi Simon and thanks for comments much appreciated, Pat
Patrick Dickinson you thought about investing in a GoPro Pat??
Ok must be an error our end. We think this is one of your best vidoes. We always enjoy being up on Kinder. Thank you for filming your adventure 😀
Hi again and thanks for kind comments all the best Pat
Great video mate an oldie but a Goldie
Thanks Ian, a beautiful walk with a fantastic view round each bend...... thanks Pat
Great video,
We've been up via Jacobs ladder and down to barber booth about 7 times,
We did it in both directions, We camps a few times as well.
Going to do that, Thanks for the info
solorip Hi and glad you enjoyed the video, Jacobs ladder is steep but once up then your fine ,all the best Pat
always enjoy youre videos Patrick, I wildcamp in the peak district too, tent and hammock, this was one of youre best mate,cheers.
Hi Johny The weather was kind to me and enabled me to get the photos I wanted, been up there so many times and can,t see more than 10 meters,thanks for watching Pat
Hi Patrick, thank you for another great video! You really had some nice weather for your adventure. Great pics! No food reviews though!😟
Hi there weather was great for Kinder as can be very wet and misty at times. Concentrated on walk and views on this one, there is only so much time on video so thought I would miss the cooking side out. Will be important part of other videos as I have my dehydrator to experiment with, thanks for watching Pat
Humans worse than midges. I've never heard that one before Patrick. Mind you the route planned promised great things. And so it was mate with the opening climb. Fantastic vista! Well, you did eventually get the hills to yourself with some of the best filtered water this side of Manchester. Another fabulous outing. All the best. Mark.
Hi Mark , I suppose humans are not that bad its just nice to have the hills to yourself, great walk, great views what more can you ask for and that Kinder water taste great even though still a bit brown in colour, all the best pat
Patrick Dickinson Hey Pat I loved it....resonated with the hike and the water. It tasted good from here. If you like my latest upload is all about water and the taste of it...a good little adventure. Any way, all the best. Mark.
Looked fantastic mate, good job on getting that out.
Kaylem The views were fantastic round every bend was a different view, amazing place up on Kinder, Pat
looked a great two dayer Patrick, I'll consider trying that in the future.
thanks for sharing, Atb Mark.
Hi Mark yes a great classic Peak District walk a view round each corner would definitely recommend, thanks for watching Pat
Really good video some cracking photographs thanks!
Hi Chris yes I was really lucky with the weather 2 clear days on the trot allowed me to get the photos i wanted, many a time I, ve been up there could not see further than 10 meters, thanks for watching Pat
I plan on doing this camp this year pat, just bought all my gear, love your videos mate, all the best, lee
MJ Bob Hi Lee this is a easy enjoyable walk once you be done the initial climb up, amazing views round each corner, hope you have a great time, Pat
Great video, we went up yesterday and it was extremely cold. Well worth the effort
Yes certainly makes a difference when you get up there, but such a lovely place, thanks Pat
wonderful footage at 7.12 bet you were buzzing my friend what a bloody good backdrop.. ringing roger woweee!!! well done :)
Hi Julie worth all the puffing and panting climbing up Ringing Rodger for that fantastic view, a really great walk with a different view round each bend. Looking forward to camping on Kinder Scout in the next couple of months as the seasons change and we approach winter, praying for some snow as we got very little last winter, thanks for comments and watching all the best Pat
Great video only just subscribed but down to earth walks and talks look forward to the next one
Hi Pat, enjoyed watching your video. Glad you put on all the pics. Not been out walking round kinder for a a long time now. Makes me want to get back out there. Closet place I was last was over hayfield way, up at mt famine and out the way. The midges are a pain and I agree with you regarding when people come along its time to move on to somewhere else on your own. Looking forward to your next video. All the best!
Hi Simon yes when I looked throu my photos I took I did not want to leave any out as they were all part of the walk and great views, I was pleased how they worked out as majority were taken on my Sony mobile phone easier than getting my DSLR out, thanks for watching and commenting Pat
Patrick Dickinson yes all those pics are great. I get like that a bit sometimes and don't really want to exclude any pics. The camera on your phone is very good getting all those decent shots. You're welcome about the comment. Looking forward to your next adventure. All the best. Simon
Patrick you are what TH-cam was meant for all them years ago. Brilliant channel. I remember messaging you ages ago that I'd take you down Flo Selecta in Derby. Offer still stands.
Yes remember your offer and very grateful, getting back into wild camping at moment, but can change my interest at any time, all the best Pat
I love this channel.
Thanks, very nice of you to say, such a fantastic place, Kinder Scout, thanks Pat
Wow stunning views.. glad you didn't reject to many pictures mate.. Camping in that area tomorrow.. looking forward to it even more after watching this..
Take it easy - ATB - Marcus
Hi looks like you will have some good weather forecast is for very warm. Hope you get some good views and have a great camp all the best Pat
Enjoyed the video Patrick only walked up round there a few weeks ago lovely views. Made a change from my Dartmoor walks. Take care mate. Cheers Karl
Dead Fall Outdoors Hi Carl yes beautifully up on Kinder at this time of the year, or anytime of the year, some of those views are amazing, glad you enjoyed it, all the best Pat
I really enjoyed this video. Informative and to the point always best ion the edges, the bogs can be a little difficult.
Hi Peter yes round the edge is a great walk with changing views, crossing the bogs can be fun and great compass practice, thanks for watching Pat
Peter Dzelmani
Loved the video. Fantastic views.
ATB Mark.
Hi Mark The weather sort of made it a lot of time on Kinder you are lucky to see 10 meters due to mist and rain. A view round each corner, I spent more time photographing than walking so many great views,all the best Pat
will be doing that walk next year hopefully thanks for all the info ATB Kev
Hi Kev yes its a straight forward walk round the edge path and once you have got the initial climb out the way its pretty easy going, and the views are fantastic, all the best Pat
Fantastic walk. Thanks for sharing ,Recently walked The Great Ridge want to do more now
Hi Paul, another impressive walk The Great Ridge and very easy to get to, only problem too many people, all the best Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492 Agree about the amount of people . Lose Hill end was ok. I come from Retford so train also ideal for me.
Great stuff Patrick. I'm planning that walk for my next trip, hopefully some time this year, £24 return from Liverpool for me, which is not a bad price for a good little adventure.
Good price that from Liverpool, take it you,LL start at Edale, hard climb up but straight forward after that, a amazing walk with fantastic views round each bend, you will love it, all the best Pat
Thanks for taking us with you
Your very welcome Andrew, thanks Pat
I really enjoyed this video. I thought the way you broke up the tramping sections with still photos of the highlights was an excellent idea. Keep it up Patrick.
matauboy Hi yes the quality of a still photo sometimes better than video and a lot quicker, thigh I did spend more time photographing than walking, but with a different view round each corner what else could I do, thanks Pat
What can I say........another great video Pat. Great views. Really enjoying your videos, going to burn out my laptop at this rate.
BADOLDBIKER Amazing view round each corner, what a fantastic place it is up on Kinder Scout, all the best Pat
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED ON WILDCAMPING AND WALKING IN THE UK THANK YOU GREAT PRACTICAL DEMO WHAT IT ALL ABOUT THANKS AGAIN
Hi Bryan and thanks for kind comments makes all the filming and editing worthwhile, i was lucky with the weather and got some great photos, thanks again Pat
Love your videos.
Glad you like them!... really nice of you to say.... thanks Pat
doing this walk soon! knew you had done this walk so came back for a watch! Big up pat
Hi Lewis, a spectacular walk, you will love it, all the best Pat
No need for the apologies Pat some cracking photos there pal brilliant views.Been round that perimeter path but in sections on different days doing different walks/camps my self but I'd never considered doing the full walk in one.Would love to have a crack at it now after watching you're vid & thinking to my self it must be a cracking walk.You looked as always like you enjoyed you're self apart from the ascent of ringing Roger of course ;-) atb Andy.
Hi Andy yes its a great walk to do in one go, if done in a day then simple day pack makes it easier. I did it a few years ago as a day walk and once the climbs out the way its a simple walk with very little navigation, as long as it stays clear. One of my favorite parts of Peak District so back up there in few days, Thanks for comments all the best Pat
Great Video Patrick, and some good photography. I know what you mean about other people, I am fortunate to get out mid week...so always quieter. sometimes you just want these places all to yourself.
Hi Steve its great if you can get out midweek sometimes you can walk for several hours until you meet another walker. The northern edge of kinder scout is like that as its a bit more remote and awkward to get to, a great place. thanks for watching all the best Pat
Nice video Patrick, I liked the fact that you flashed the names of all the views and rock formations.
Hi there thought the info would be usefu,l a lot of the views etc I new but some I had to research and also interesting in discovering why certain rocks had such unusual names, thanks for watching and commenting Pat
Your spot on Patrick If you have the time before a walk it always makes it more interesting.
Really enjoyable video Patrick. Lots of interesting info and great pics. Sub'd.
Hi again Alan, a view round every corner and thats what its like looking forward to a bit of snow now should make things interesting Thanks again Pat
Love watching your video, going up Kinder scout one day to camp
Best place on the world Jason, thanks Pat
@@patrickdickinson6492made it up last night and wildcamped
Thanks
I love the Northern edges. I did a short version with my son last Easter, he didn't fancy the route of the wholee dges of the Kinder plateaux !
Yes Malcolm the Northern edges are the best, few people and great views, what more could you ask for, thanks Pat
Hi Pat. Love your videos. They are inspiring me for the upcoming season. What type of water filter are you using. I couldn't quite make out the make from the video. Thanks.
Hi Tom, I would say get out no matter what, it's all waiting for you.
The water filter I used was a Sawyer Mini Filters, very lightweight and small and easy to use. All the best Pat
'damn midges... and even worse than that there's lots of people about' xD made me laugh. Good video!
Hi there,midges are bad enough but when there crowds of people time to get off somewhere on my own. luckily most of the time you can walk for miles on Kinder without seeing a soul especially in Winter, Thanks for watching Pat
Oh I agree 100%! Was more a laughing with you in agreement :D The walk around Kinder plateau looked amazing. I really like the distances involved. Makes it a very appealing over nighter, not having to power hike. Added to my list :)
Looks awesome. Havent been to the peak district for ages. Must rectifiy that soon.
Hi Bill Kinder scout is a great place to walk and camp an hours walk from Edale where you can catch a train to then your up on a wild moorland plateau, another world, all the best Pat
Great video and very interesting history. I was with the Canadian Airforce in Germany 1978 to 1993 after Desert Storm. Now the Canadian F86 was built or modified in Canada also had 4 20m/m cannon instead of the 6 50 Caliber machineguns. Also these were probably from the Canadian Airforce Base's in France since De gaul kicked Nato out of France in Early 1960's.I believe Canada had a large amount of F86's in Europe probably 50 or more. PS,US F86 needed big seviceing about every 6 weeks many Stateside. There is a good book written by a Canadian F86 vet, called Into the Wild Blue .Great read and you will get a view into the many pranks which went on in Nato between ourselves. Enjoy the Read.PS. Spec wise the Canadian version did better for the pilots flying in them. Yhey were not sea versions
love it camping up there myself Patrick I was up there early august for a 1 nighter it was great all on my own on gringslow knoll looking down towards edale
hi Kevin yes Grindslow Knoll a great spot bivvyed there myself couple of years ago about 10M down from summit to get out the wind. Fantastic view looking down valley, all the best Pat
Great walk with lovely weather.
Hi there yep very lucky with the weather, although any time up on kinder scout is a great time. This is our highest area in the Peak district, jealous of all the great mountains and choice of areas you have in Scotland. all the best Pat
Not too many pictures at all! Great video, enjoyed it all!
Hi and thanks for comments, difficult not to take photos when so many great views, spent more time photographing than walking, all the best Pat
hi patrick
great vid and as usual and one i can account with as i did myself many years ago . I did it in the opposite direction and went up crowden brook and overnighted at seal stones were i was awoken in the night by a sheep sheltering behind my tent .
I Agree with a above comment about the photos none should have been rejected and ill admit youve done them all a credit by naming them and for once you can actually see were from there name comes from .
keep up the good work
andy
Hi Andrew yes very similar walk, Crowden Brook is a great walk up similar to all ways up Kinder very steep at the top but once your up the rest of the walking is easy. Interesting learning the names of the rocks and the history behind them, a great area to walk and camp, thanks again Pat
I was up there not so long ago Pat and your correct its a fantastic place and I can't wait to go back next year.
ATB Mike
#StayCornish 😬
Hi Mike, yes I feel very lucky that kinder Scout is only a 20 min train ride from wear I like in Sheffield, each time I go up there I find something different or different views at different times of the year, looking forward to some snow this coming winter, all the best Pat
These views took my breathe away almost as much as you did
Hi Luca, yes just beautiful up there, a awesome view round each corner..... thanks Pat
Throughly enjoyed this one Pat, the views and the out crops are amazing, walks like these really call to you as this has now to me, thanks to you... Having now broken my wild camping virginity, I can understand why so many people love it as I now am hooked... What did that water taste like? Looked peaty...
Amazing g scenary up on Kinder, the water was ok but the colour is not so inviting, thanks Pat
heather is stunning.. great vid
Hi there yes I chose August to do the walk as the heather would be at its best, beautiful up there it is, all the best Pat
Great upload Patrick, thanks for this. Can I ask which map you showed in the video?
Hi Nat and thanks, the map will be from OS Explorer range, 1/25000 and it will be OL 1 for the dark peak. i photocopy the bit I want and just carry that bit and I can also write info on etc, thanks again Pat
The man made bowls cut in the gritstone are only found on stanedge. They were cut by mason called broomhead in 1907. All the other bowls on other moors formed naturally by wind/water erosion.
Fantastic pat
Hi yes it was a great walk made even better by fantastic weather, a lot of times when I, ve been up on Kinder you can,t see more than a few meters due to mist cloud or rain, so very lucky with the weather. Thanks for watching and all the best Pat
Love your vids Patrick.. Subscribed! 😊
Hi Tim thanks for comments, much appreciated, its great to put your adventures on film, thanks again Pat
+Patrick Dickinson you do it very well watched most of your vids they are brill going to try and get out this winter once I've stocked up on some new gear :)
This is probably my favourite You Tube vid!! Looking to do this exact trip in a couple of weeks. Any idea if there's a mobile signal up there Pat? Thinking for emergency. Also do you reckon it will be dry enough up top to camp at the moment?
lincolnshire hiker Hi it's amazing up there, probably a bit wet at moment especially if you leave the outer perimeter path that I walked a long. But it is Ok to camp all year round, winter bring solitude, a bit more of a challenge but worth it for the feeling of adventure. I have camped at Fairbrook Naze, got a perfect 4g signal, a lot of the area up there has a mobile signal and bits don,t. You will have a amazing camp, all the best Pat
Patrick Dickinson - Thanks for taking the time to reply Pat, it really helped me out.
Nice one sir. I miss being up there.
Me too Mark..... thanks Pat
This is fantastic
Amazing walk, with a fantastic view round each bend, all the best Pat
Patrick Dickinson thanks Pat, I’ve just found your work and I’m a new subscriber.
Great videos
Amazing walk this, thanks Pat
Just Brilliant ❤️
Such a fantastic walk, thanks Pat
Super vid mate, inspired me to get out again, Ringing Roger looked a tough ascent clinging onto heather, bet it was tough going down, is that a fairly easy navigate route and what bivvy do you use? look forward to more.
Hi Michael Ringing Rodger is steep but the last bit and steepest only takes about 15 minutes, worth it for the view. The edge path is pretty easy to navigate on clear weather as you can see ahead and pick out the landmarks and rock etc and the path is well established but if the mist is down or foggy you can go wrong in winter Autumn or bad weather forcast I take a GPS and it has got me out of trouble a few times, if crossing over central area GPS and compass a must. The bivvy I use is the Rab Ridghe Raider, great bivvy with a single hooped pole so keeps bag off your face and makes bivvying a lot more comfortable than basic bag. Hope helpful all the best Pat
Brilliant!!!
Thanks, amazing walk, Pat
