    Thanks for that Dean. Really took me back. Did part of this route for my D of E back in 1964. :) Hasn't changed much.

    I would say those pieces of wood weighed down by stones in the river are boards for the well dressing. Great video

      @@DeanRead It's great Dean and a perfect hike for an overnight hike next summer. What pack do you carry and is there much water on route for the old sawyer? I have the mini and find it invaluable in saving a bit if weight

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use an Osprey Exos 48 now days. You dip in and out of valleys along the way so plenty of rivers/streams to utilise the Sawyer, it is an invaluable tool isn't it

      @@DeanRead Thanks Dean - I've literally just swapped my Osprey Stratos 36 for a second hand Lowe Alpine airzone pro 35+45 which I'll use next year on my wild camps. The Stratos just wasn't quite big enough and I do like the Lowe Alpine gear. I may need to look at a lighter alternative to my vango cairngorm 200 but its a great tent and only 800g heavier than your zephyros. And yes the Sawyer is great - better than carrying 2-3kg of water for the whole hike. I like the idea of the Limesone Way as Matlock is the closest part of the Peaks to me in Leicestershire - I can't remember now how many times I've walked from Starkholmes over to the Heights of Abraham and back via Giddy edge.

      It was pretty straight forward from memory, I had to change buses at Bakewell though. Hope you have a great time when you walk it. Check out my other video of the southern section as that's good too.

    Great video, I have just come back from completing a section of this walk but the weather and visibility were awful so saw nothing! The mud level was also ridiculous. I was surprised to see you wild camp, are any permissions required to do this is in the Peak District? Many thanks.

    • @DeanRead
      @DeanRead  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Andy thanks for watching, it's a really great route. we've not been blessed with great weather lately have we. You do need permission to camp in the Peak District and wild camping isnt technically allowed. I always go by the Leave No Trace philosophy and make sure I don't have any negative impact on where I camp. I always make sure i'm hidden out of the way too and pitch up late / leave early. I hope you get better weather if you return to walk more of the route. All the best. Dean
