Wild camp on the hills west of Sheffield at Owler Bar in very wet and windy conditions. Opportunity to try out my Crux Storm tent in preparation for winter months ahead.
Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers. By the way you talk to us, it is clear how much you value your viewers - you treat us like friends. You have no 'airs 'n graces', you're a genuine fella with a zest for adventure. Your videos are very well presented and your manner is just right. Keep up the good work Patrick, you are an inspiration!
Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat
Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!
The Crux Storm looks pretty solid, hardy and spacious with a good porch and side pockets. I like it! Photos look cool and that breakfast looks scrumptious! Another great video.
Hi Pat. Thanks again for braving the elements. We always look forward to watching your next adventure and hope to take up wild camping ourselves in the not too distant future.
Tim W Hi Tim and thanks for watching, hope you do get out wild camping because you will always have something adventurous to do and you will feel great afterwards, all the best Pat
Hallo Pat.Super video.You show Shefield so well.My Daughter went to Shefield University for 3 years and I used to fly over your campsite at about 44000feet quite often.My flight comeing from Canada starting at Fort Worth Texas.we would just miss Nottingham and head past Marham RAF base in Norfolk much lower probably 30ish Thousand feet where I had lived for 3 years then we would climb above 36000ft over the North Sea heading for Holland and finally Germany.At times the midnightish views over Shefield and Marham were very clear the lighting showing lots of details.Well you remind me of England and my travels from around the world and my Daughter who lives in South Korea. BYE,Be Blessed mate.PS. No need to answer I understand your work load.
It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.
Hi Pat, really enjoy your videos, especially the wet, cold and windy camps. Nothing like being all dry and cosy in a good tent when its blowing a gale and pouring outside. I liked the Crux tent, very nice bit of kit.
BADOLDBIKER Hi yes very impressed with the strength and stability of the Crux Storm tent, felt very secure and cozy in my home for the night on the wild moorlands above Sheffield, thanks for your comments and watching ,Pat
I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.
Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks. Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat
blackydon Hi yes all my interests rolled into one, just missing the beer on this one but thought I might need a clear head with the weather. Waiting for the BBC to call !! Pat
That was great Pat! Personally I like to see the living quarters inside the cosy atmosphere of the tent with you inside. That tent is a tardis on film. You look to have loads of room. Wish mine had the porch and rear storage. The shots of Sheffield and power stations were brill! I don;t mind the so called bad weather. Coping with a bit of adversity is part of what its all about. I like the challenge and sense of satisfaction it gives plus creating good memories.That breakfast looked the business btw. Keep em coming Pat, and from MY point of view please show more of the inside of your tents (for the cosy atmos). I would have stayed another day lol.
Hi Pete your right a bit of bad weather just adds to the adventure and there the camps you remember, great views from up there not that high neither. will try and film in tents good to show people round especially if wild and windy and wet outside, all the best Pat
Michael Putsey Hi Michael great location this with great views and very accessable, might not be out until Jan as it's that time of the year, all the best Pat
Welldone Pat. That was another very watchable and enjoyable video. My mate Noel will be on the lookout for a Crux storm tent now:) I like the pot cozy and dehydrated food. That is definately the way forward for this type of camping. All the best from a Windy Wiltshire. Sandy
Hi Sandy, can,t have to many tents, put me in a tent and just the smell and feeling of calm and happy memories comes over me. Dehydrated food is a great lightweight solution to a nice filling meal, but you can,t beat a nice piece of steak as well. All the best Pat
You can tell from seeing you inside the tent how well structured it is -my first time watching you - really enjoyed it - hope you have some more I can watch -thank you for sharing
Hi and nice to meet you, this was first time I had used the Crux tent, felt very strong, usually use a Hilleberg Soulo due to lightness and ease of errecting. Hope you like my channel, quite a bit of wild camping but my interests vary and I like different filming challenges. You will seems underground quite a lot and sometimes up in the trees, all the best for 2019 Pat
What's not to like about this video...Great camp..Super tent and wonderful photos...Thanks for the explanations....Subbed and will watch more of your vids !!!....Cheers from Inverness.Scotland
Like I said would probably use my Hilleberg Soulo for a camp like that but wanted to try the tent, in winter when you have extra warm gear, and wet or snow covered gear you need that sort of room unless you like sleeping with a wet coat etc touching your sleeping bag. It is only 2 ib heavier that my Soulo, you want to see what my camera gear weighs, 8lb with trypod mics etc. At the end of the day its just for fun I,am not a serious camper, just a pleasant way to have Fun, thanks Pat
Classic example of how simple adventures can be facinating, informative and can test ones stamina. Only thing though, I wish the good gentleman would talk a bit of history about the moors and maybe about the town itself. Great channel!
Hi and thanks for your comments, As it was basically a wildcamping vidio I did not think people would be interested in the area and the city of Sheffield beyond. I could talk for ages on my city of Sheffield, it's decline of its world famous steel industry and it's beautiful Derbyshire countryside that it borders, thanks Pat
Great to see you back out Pat, good video as always, my god i felt cold just watching you set up the tent in that wind obviously you like a challenge. I have seen the Crux tent up on ebay a couple of times during the past year got close to buying one each time but just missed out, looks a decent tent for bad weather.
Lawson Richards Hi Lawson and thanks for sub, most of my videos are wild camping and some underground drain exploration, although anything I ,am currently interested in will go on, thanks for watching Pat
Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen
Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat
Thanks Dawn, such a great location, you can spend your time just looking at the view and trying to identify parts off Sheffield that you are looking down on, thanks Pat
Gareth Danks Hi Gareth strongest tent I,ve had a bit heavy but worth it for the feeling of security and the room, pure luxury. I got mine second hand, not sure if Crux are making them? You have a great tent, all the best Pat
Patrick Dickinson yeah mate. Bought mine used too. Arrives tomorrow. My terra nova voyager died in snowdonia last weekend. Crux looks bomb proof. 1k heavier as you say but the security is priority after that snapping. Check out my last vlog if you like mate. Keep up the great work buddy. Love your adventures. Be safe! 😊👍🏻
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
Great video ,I spent 22 years at West Burton ..done 129 wainwrights on an arthritic hip but just got a new one so looking forward to wild camps myself in the coming year ..
I learn something new with each of your videos. Have to buy my own tent. Been camping with my son and family using their tents. Wife objects to me going alone but I am older and less experienced than you
paul keese yeah know what you mean, my wife is not always happy with were I camp or explore on my own, but I need the adventure or risk to make me feel alive. Struggling at the moment being at home over Christmas, can only plan trips, need to get out, bring on 2018. Pat
Really felt for you Patrick in that driving wind and cold light rain,get that tent up quick!,a nice place for refuge from the elements.Being a photographer meself I loved your night shot of Sheffield! Power to you man love your vids!! Daveo
Hi Daveo, once tent set up then well protected and provided great comfy spot to photograph the city, used to look better when we had the sodium street lighting, looked like the city was on fire, LEDs ok but a bit light.Thanks for comments and watching Pat
Very much enjoyed this video Patrick! Would like to get out and do this sort of thing again. Camped out on Dartmoor a lot in my younger years but not for a long time with family life and work, tend to go sea fishing a bit and try to combine it with bush craft type skills to make it more interesting. Good work!
Mike S Hi Mike know what you mean about work and family , even if you get out every couple of months it something to plan and look forward to, hope you start out soon, Pat
Yes will make some plans in the neae future and get out! Just moving house over this weekend coming and will be be very close to the edge of Dartmoor so will get the wife to drop me off!
Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.
Pat another great video I've a weekend of work soon and I'm planning to watching your videos throughout the day...also pat I'd just like to thank you for giving us some great viewing
Andrew Hayward Hi Andrew and thanks for watching my videos makes it sort of worth while that you are enjoying them, I appreciate that. This was a great location looking down on the city of Sheffield, all the best Pat
sometimes, its hard to admit to making small errors in what we do, but the way you put made it sound funny.. ive been in a similar situation and the tent ended up being a large sleeping bag.. well done!
Hi tony yes I ,ve done that before, it was in Scouts on the Isle of Man went on a overnight camp and forgot the poles so just slept under it, we were young and tough all part of the fun, thanks for watching Pat
James Lauder Thanks James great spot this for a wild camp, probably next year for next camp due to , you know what in a couple of weeks, see you on the next one Pat
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
Top man ten pint pub crawl and then go and pitch a tent . Fantastic pictures , i like that your not afraid to get out in all weathers. Like the tent very roomy .
PUNK HIKER Hi yes our Newark trip is always a great weekend most of the lads are from Barnsley and they certainly like a drink, I struggle to keep up but you,be got to do your best, thanks for watching Pat
Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.
Chris Thornley Hi Chris yes I was surprised how the photo appeared to put Drax just beyond the city not nearly 30 miles away sat looking at the view for ages trying different camera settings, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Brilliant Patrick I thoroughly enjoyed watching that thank you for sharing your adventure with us loved the night shots of Sheffield 👍, can’t wait for the next one.
Really enjoyed that,thank you. Thought I'd tuned into 'Dave's Wild Camping' channel by mistake when I saw and heard all the wild windy weather! atb snack.
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I love to see how you dehydrate things like your spaggetti boulinase, so if I spelled that wrong. Thanks again. Take care.
What a great video 😀👍 thank you, I've liked and subscribed to you. I'm looking forward to watching more of your posts, wishing you the very best, Eddie 😀👍
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
Hi Pat, I've been following your videos for the last few weeks since discovering them on TH-cam. Fantastic locations and very informative narratives each time. Makes me realise what I've been missing since moving to Malaysia 12 years ago. That UK scenery is just stunning and brings back memories of my trips to the North of England in my younger days. We have some stunning locations out here which I'd like to explore when family commitments permit. My youngest son watched your latest video and is keen to try a wildcamp on our next UK trip. Keep up the good work !
Hi Razif the scenary is certainly stunning nit so sure about our weather though could do with a bit of your weather. hope you and your son get out on a wild camp, all the best Pat
It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.
Danielle Britton Hi Daniel,nice to hear from you, yes very wild night up there but felt very secure in a great tent, don,t know why I had not camped there before,so many amazing places to camp, thanks for your comments and watching Pat
Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers.

Well said Jeremy 👍🏼
The perils of pitching a new tent when you are pissed. A cautionary tale - love it ;-)
Haha, I remember it well,luckly I could of just slept on the grass, thanks Pat
Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!
Christopher Raab Hi Christopher thanks for kind comments much appreciated, nice to hear from you in US thanks Pat
Solo camper with no big ego and loves what he does.. You have to love his desire and passion Top bloke cheers parick
Thanks Darren such kind words but that's how I,am thanks Pat
That was indeed a wild camp, but worth it for the breakfast alone! So grateful for the upload, take care Pat!
Glenn UK Hi Glenn yes definetly wild with that wind, all the best Pat
The Crux Storm looks pretty solid, hardy and spacious with a good porch and side pockets. I like it! Photos look cool and that breakfast looks scrumptious! Another great video.
Camping Wild UK Hi yes tent felt really strong and secure felt very safe in it, thanks Pat
Hi Pat. Thanks again for braving the elements. We always look forward to watching your next adventure and hope to take up wild camping ourselves in the not too distant future.
Tim W Hi Tim and thanks for watching, hope you do get out wild camping because you will always have something adventurous to do and you will feel great afterwards, all the best Pat

BYE,Be Blessed mate.PS. No need to answer I understand your work load.
Off work with the flu thanks for another enjoyable video to cheer me up .
Gloucestershire Camper Glad you are enjoying them all the best Pat
It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.
esa062 Hi and thanks for that just folded them up never thought any further thanks for that, Pat
You are putting a lot of stress on your zip pulling it half way down when you are cooking or showing us the view of Sheffield, love all your videos
Hi Pat, really enjoy your videos, especially the wet, cold and windy camps. Nothing like being all dry and cosy in a good tent when its blowing a gale and pouring outside. I liked the Crux tent, very nice bit of kit.
BADOLDBIKER Hi yes very impressed with the strength and stability of the Crux Storm tent, felt very secure and cozy in my home for the night on the wild moorlands above Sheffield, thanks for your comments and watching ,Pat
I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.
Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks.
Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat
Brilliant camp Pat, and that breakfast!! Tent looked really stable in that wind, well done chap 👍
Fergus Stevenson Hi Fergus yes tent was solid as a rock, ready for winter now, thanks Pat
'A good learning experience' ha ha ha ha - brilliant! 10 pints and putting up a tent! Love it.
Fortress60 Luckily it was a calm night on a campsite, nearly gave up and just slept under tent on ground, all the best Pat
Yes, I think I'd have just rolled up in the fly sheet. I love your videos, Pat - your enthusiasm really comes through. Good, warm, camping!
always happy when you come up in my search results - it means the tent I'm looking at must be good !
Great winter tent this Crux, don,t think they make them now, probably classed at too heavy at 6 In....... thanks Pat
I'm watching your old video and it's got me in the mood for camping
Yes Nath looking forward to getting back out one day myself, thanks Pat
Another great vid Pat, well done for braving the wind, love the hydrated food, really enjoyed the vid atb Lee
Jorvik Outdoors Hi Lee the dehydrated food certainly cuts down on weight and taste surprisingly good, thanks for watching Pat
Wow, another great video Pat. Videos, cameras, tents and food. You are a genius. Cannot wait for the next video and POSSIBLY TV SHOW.
blackydon Hi yes all my interests rolled into one, just missing the beer on this one but thought I might need a clear head with the weather. Waiting for the BBC to call !! Pat
Patrick Dickinson They need to see these videos of yours. They will be glad to give your own show. Enjoy your beer.
blackydon thanks for that, Pat
Another cosy video - enjoyed it very much, thank you Pat!!!
Lovely little spot, felt very secure in the tent, thanks Pat
Amazing that Drax was visible and so far away! Blew me away.
Fantastic view from up there, 35 mile's away and you could identify the power stations etc, thanks Pat
Nice to see ya once more love your camping adventures Pat!
RasNicholas Yeah great location and great views thanks for watching Pat
That was great Pat! Personally I like to see the living quarters inside the cosy atmosphere of the tent with you inside. That tent is a tardis on film. You look to have loads of room.

Hi Pete your right a bit of bad weather just adds to the adventure and there the camps you remember, great views from up there not that high neither. will try and film in tents good to show people round especially if wild and windy and wet outside, all the best Pat
Well done Patrick always enjoy your videos. Usually pick up,a tip or two. Look forward to the next one 👍
Michael Putsey Hi Michael great location this with great views and very accessable, might not be out until Jan as it's that time of the year, all the best Pat
Tx for bringing us along! I like the way you do your vids and your easy to listen to. Good times. Subbing.
Mr Tmax Thanks for comments and subbing, glad you enjoyed video, try and put something on every 4 to 6 weeks, all the best Pat
Superb video again patrick. Just shows you don't have to travel miles to get out of suburbia. Catching the bus. Amazing shots.
Very well done
Thanks Rich yes just a bus ride and out in our wild moorlands, looks a great place to camp in winter, thanks Pat
That breakfast looked epic Pat I’m starving now!!!! 🥓🍳
Simon Beresford Hi Simon yes really sets you up for the day, pity I left the auto focus switched off on my camera, all the best Pat
Enjoyed that vid, looks a good solid tent.
"The Fishing Trip"! Absolutely love it 😂 Smashing tent. More like a portable house, it's so solid. Good purchase.
Welldone Pat. That was another very watchable and enjoyable video. My mate Noel will be on the lookout for a Crux storm tent now:)
I like the pot cozy and dehydrated food. That is definately the way forward for this type of camping.
All the best from a Windy Wiltshire.

Hi and nice to meet you, this was first time I had used the Crux tent, felt very strong, usually use a Hilleberg Soulo due to lightness and ease of errecting.

What's not to like about this video...Great camp..Super tent and wonderful photos...Thanks for the explanations....Subbed and will watch more of your vids !!!....Cheers from Inverness.Scotland

Another great adventure, very watchable, super stuff, Pat.
It's really inspiring.great stuff. Being safe in the tent. Amazing.
Once that tent was up, it felt as solid as a rock, great feeling sleeping out and being safe and warm... thanks Pat
Another great vid.Thanks man (That breakfast looks delish btw👍)
That breakfast was beautiful pity I messed up the filming, thanks for watching Pat
Hello Patrick I can't get tired of watching this it's my fav vid of yours. Hope you had a nice crimbo and all the best from chesterfield.

I have seen the Crux tent up on ebay a couple of times during the past year got close to buying one each time but just missed out, looks a decent tent for bad weather.
Walking wivdogs Nice to be out, the Crux tent feels very strong and secure would definetly recommend, all the best Pat

Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen
Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat

Thanks Whitney, great views, Pat
Another great video and brill pictures! Thanks Pat. x

Always loving your videos
David Smith Thanks for that David all the best Pat
Fantastic vid mate. Just bought that tent. Can’t wait to try it out 😊👍🏻
Gareth Danks Hi Gareth strongest tent I,ve had a bit heavy but worth it for the feeling of security and the room, pure luxury. I got mine second hand, not sure if Crux are making them? You have a great tent, all the best Pat

Gareth Danks Hi Gareth yes will have a look all the best Pat
Great to see another camping vid Pat. I'm almost caught up with your others. Loved your urban explorations as well. (Hamilton, Ontario).
Nigel Dance Hi Nigel glad you enjoyed my vids, try to vary them best I can, nice to hear from Ontario all the best Pat
Loved the video...👍
Hilleberg super strong but so flappy in the wind. The crux looked very settled during the wind
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
Lucky you put away so much food Pat,else you'd have been blown back to Sheffield by that wind. Stay safe mate.
Sam C hi Sam yes food is a major part of any camp for me, I enjoy cooking it and eating it as well, all the best Pat
That's a nice tent! Good purchase
John R Hi John yes very pleased with the tent, felt very secure, thanks Pat
Great video ! Please keep them coming , all the best from Western Australia 👍👍👍
Nice to hear from Australia, bet you are having better weather than we are, just approaching our winter months soon, all the best Pat
Great video - like all your videos I've seen. Keep up the good work and carry on camping!
Thanks Peter, you can not do anything better than a wild camp on the hills thanks Pat
Great video ,I spent 22 years at West Burton ..done 129 wainwrights on an arthritic hip but just got a new one so looking forward to wild camps myself in the coming year ..
Love your videos. Thank you.
You are so welcome...... thanks Pat
I learn something new with each of your videos. Have to buy my own tent. Been camping with my son and family using their tents. Wife objects to me going alone but I am older and less experienced than you
paul keese yeah know what you mean, my wife is not always happy with were I camp or explore on my own, but I need the adventure or risk to make me feel alive. Struggling at the moment being at home over Christmas, can only plan trips, need to get out, bring on 2018. Pat
Really felt for you Patrick in that driving wind and cold light rain,get that tent up quick!,a nice place for refuge from the elements.Being a photographer meself I loved your night shot of Sheffield! Power to you man love your vids!! Daveo
Hi Daveo, once tent set up then well protected and provided great comfy spot to photograph the city, used to look better when we had the sodium street lighting, looked like the city was on fire, LEDs ok but a bit light.Thanks for comments and watching Pat
Thanks for taking us along on another camp. Enjoyed the still photos. Interesting to see the quary where you did your urban camp.
Yeah nice to pick the quarry out could see every where from up there great spot, all the best Pat
Another great video Patrick just had to subscribe mate love your videos and you're just a great guy 👍
Very much enjoyed this video Patrick! Would like to get out and do this sort of thing again. Camped out on Dartmoor a lot in my younger years but not for a long time with family life and work, tend to go sea fishing a bit and try to combine it with bush craft type skills to make it more interesting. Good work!
Mike S Hi Mike know what you mean about work and family , even if you get out every couple of months it something to plan and look forward to, hope you start out soon, Pat
Yes will make some plans in the neae future and get out! Just moving house over this weekend coming and will be be very close to the edge of Dartmoor so will get the wife to drop me off!
The tent held out well Pat, i had my doubts when i saw you trying to pitch it in those winds! Well done indeed!
Bit of a challenge pitching, but I new once it was up I had got a safe and secure home for the night, thanks Pat
Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.
Agree when its raining cats and dogs its great to feel secure and warm in your tent, thanks Pat
Love your videos thank you for sharing
Thanks Joseph, amazing views from up there, thanks Pat
Fanastic, love your videos :-)
Pat another great video I've a weekend of work soon and I'm planning to watching your videos throughout the day...also pat I'd just like to thank you for giving us some great viewing
Andrew Hayward Hi Andrew and thanks for watching my videos makes it sort of worth while that you are enjoying them, I appreciate that. This was a great location looking down on the city of Sheffield, all the best Pat
sometimes, its hard to admit to making small errors in what we do, but the way you put made it sound funny.. ive been in a similar situation and the tent ended up being a large sleeping bag.. well done!
Hi tony yes I ,ve done that before, it was in Scouts on the Isle of Man went on a overnight camp and forgot the poles so just slept under it, we were young and tough all part of the fun, thanks for watching Pat

James Lauder Thanks James great spot this for a wild camp, probably next year for next camp due to , you know what in a couple of weeks, see you on the next one Pat
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
Top man ten pint pub crawl and then go and pitch a tent . Fantastic pictures , i like that your not afraid to get out in all weathers. Like the tent very roomy .

piemanstube Hi great spot Stanage so many famous climbers started up there, hope you saw the sun set, all the best Pat
I love the English Breakfast.
Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.
Chris Thornley Hi Chris yes I was surprised how the photo appeared to put Drax just beyond the city not nearly 30 miles away sat looking at the view for ages trying different camera settings, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Brilliant Patrick I thoroughly enjoyed watching that thank you for sharing your adventure with us loved the night shots of Sheffield 👍, can’t wait for the next one.
Brother Mark Hi Mark yes amazing view of the city from up there and just great to be out ,all the best Pat
You're an inspiration..I really appreciate these great contributions..
Thanks for that, nice to be out in a tent even though its getting colder now, thanks Pat
Really enjoyed that,thank you. Thought I'd tuned into 'Dave's Wild Camping' channel by mistake when I saw and heard all the wild windy weather! atb snack.
Nice to hear from you, Dave certainly likes his food like I do, all the best Pat
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
Dave's Outdoor Page Hi Dave frying pan great for cooking and also keeps your food warm while you enjoy it, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Thanks for sharing the video, that couldn't of been easy to film!!! Really enjoyed it thank you
Wayne Donaghy Hi Wayne yes bit difficult with the rain and the wind but worth the effort when you get on with editing, thanks again Pat
Hi pat good to see you out again some good shots of Sheffield at night amazing the zoom on these cameras now a days all the best Dominic.
chainsawdom1 Nice to be out again and great photo opertunities all the best Pat
Great to see you back....would watch your content over the programmed stuff on tv any day of the week!
abrasdwe Great to be out and thanks for watching Pat
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I love to see how you dehydrate things like your spaggetti boulinase, so if I spelled that wrong. Thanks again. Take care.
Marsha Mapes Hi Marsha, thanks for your comments, the dehydrated food is a great way to provide lightweight meals when camping, thanks Pat
What a great video 😀👍 thank you, I've liked and subscribed to you. I'm looking forward to watching more of your posts, wishing you the very best, Eddie 😀👍
Thanks great site this, hopefully keep you entertained through 2019, thanks Pat
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
I might see you there cheers pat.
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
Hi Patrick nice vid m8 and keep up the good work and I can't wait for your next vid.
Paul Henson Hi Paul great location first time I had camped up here, might try again if we get some snow, thanks Pat
I’m so home sick love the video as always Patrick & enjoyed your stories take care mate from chilly Canada ex Nottingham Uk 😀
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
Hi Pat, I've been following your videos for the last few weeks since discovering them on TH-cam. Fantastic locations and very informative narratives each time. Makes me realise what I've been missing since moving to Malaysia 12 years ago. That UK scenery is just stunning and brings back memories of my trips to the North of England in my younger days. We have some stunning locations out here which I'd like to explore when family commitments permit. My youngest son watched your latest video and is keen to try a wildcamp on our next UK trip. Keep up the good work !
Hi Razif the scenary is certainly stunning nit so sure about our weather though could do with a bit of your weather. hope you and your son get out on a wild camp, all the best Pat
Another great video. Thanks Patrick.
Thanks Jim, fantastic views, I remember this one for, thanks Pat
Nice camp Patrick I am a Sheffield lad, from ecclesfield. But lived in Lincolnshire for 20 years. Thanks for the video
Atb
Paul
51foxy Hi Paul and thanks for that, not many hills in Lincolnshire you,LL be missing them, all the best Pat
It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.
Danielle Britton Hi Daniel,nice to hear from you, yes very wild night up there but felt very secure in a great tent, don,t know why I had not camped there before,so many amazing places to camp, thanks for your comments and watching Pat
A fishing trip about drinking. Oh I laughed. Thanks for a great video.
abe frohman A trip we have done for years, may do a bit of fishing next year, all the best Pat
