I just had to get this one out of my system 💜

- A camp site I yearn for from home and one that I never thought I’d be lucky enough to see from my own bricks and mortar. Gratitude is a wonderful feeling, even when the stakes are down on life and you feel a little down. Being able to feel gratitude for what you have and what you can access is a gift, like the gift of sight and all of our senses for that matter.
This camp felt like a gift. Wrapped up in my favourite colour purple. It was so tranquil until the midges reminded me that it was their home and sent me off sharpish back to mine. These last few camps have been a celebration for me and a reminder of the reasons why I wild camp, and when Mother Nature provides perfection we must seize that moment and stay a while…
Until next time campers
💜💜💜🙏🏻
Certainly one of your most visually stunning settings! Thank you for sharing it with us. ❤
cracking video sarah love all the heather and that sunrise as a backdrop would definitely make a gorgeous pic
It really is! Feels so tranquil, especially in the warm
Summer heat
The last time I saw a sunrise like that was in Santorini!
@@beverleygibson1394 and here it was rights over Sheffield ☺️
How beautiful was this camp! Sometimes it's the things we do at the last minute that turn out to be some of the best. We found this camp quite entertaining with the added singing and martial arts to fight off the midges 🤣 keeping things real and being yourself is massively important in a world where our children are exposed to so much false-ness through social media (really pleased my daughter sits and watches you with us). We are really getting used to seeing you in Diana now, it has taken a few videos to get used to seeing you in a different tent. Really enjoyed this one, the views you captured looked amazing and they would for sure have been magnificent off camera as they always do. Thankyou for taking us with you, and as always take care and see you on the next one 😊 xx
Finally sitting down to reply to my lovely comments on here! I
Looked back and realised it was Froggat edge Diana’s maiden voyage. A very perfect spot of flat ground that made her easy to pitch. Now you know that I am just the same in person as I am in my videos. Daft, positive and passionate about our lovely land oh and I love tents 😂How lovely it was to meet you and your lovely family yesterday. 🌟🌟🌟 see you all on the next one 🎥
Great video. Good point about taking a book camping!!!
I thought I was the only person that camped 1.5 miles from home.... and that's in London!
Feels great to have access to this beauty so close to home, so close yet so far, far enough away to feel wild 👌🏻
Beautiful colours. You are lucky to live so close to a great spot. Enjoyed the views
Lovely video Sarah. What a cracking spot close to home. 😊
Great sunset and the Heather looked gorgeous 😍. I may have said before....but I hate 🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟🦟. Thanks for sharing and sorry for the delay in watching. Looking forward to your next camping adventure 👍👍
Hi Sarah,
Seems like a long time again. Thanks to Insta we know what you've been up to and that you've been a busy bunny 🐰. I wonder if anyone has done a wild camp video on Iona?😂 Maybe a bivvy on the balcony 🤔. Didn't notice you suffering from many midges in the evening, but they got you in the morning. Even PM has been bitten 😀. Sounds like you are a fellow sunset-aholic, be careful it's very addictive and there's no known cure. Baby poo 💩 huh, in my family packs of grated parmesan is known as babysick, I'm sure you will get it. I wonder what happens if you mix the two. I challenge you to try it on the next video. You are bound to be familiar with Where's Wally, in your videos it seems some of us play Where's Whizz 😄🤣, I got pulled up by another viewer last time. As for midges some people don't like DEET, I've found a video that reckons cinnamon and vanilla do the trick, I'll leave the link in the usual place.
Cheers
Graham
Great to see you back out Sarah and such a great pitch, over looking the city, and easy to get to, yet I,ve never seen many people up there, they all seem to stick to Houndkirk Rd and established tracks. I feel for you with those midges, I had the same experience yesterday and can quite easly see how they could send you mad, eyes, ears and nose they seem to get everywhere, one of the disadvantages of camping in summer.
Look forward to your next adventure......Pat
Hiya Pat, it’s certainly becoming one of my favourite spots this. Bonfire night camp overlooking the city was awesome and your burning car incident ha ha! Luckily it wasn’t on the same night, some
Strange going’s on up there with it being accessible on the Roman road. Made for a good video though didn’t it? Midges…a wild campers worst enemy! I was in a right old state the next day, we live and learn! See you on the next one, Best wishes, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX ❤️
Great vid, beautiful place 👍 ATB
Good to see you out again.. being able to see you from the house is something special... am glad your house is coming on. Take care out there.
@@littlegrandadoutdoors yes it’s certainly special to me that location and for my loved ones to see me in the far distance, I dunno it’s just really cool I can’t explain it! ☺️ ATB Sarah
lovely video I need to get out soon ❤
What a wonderful sunrise that was and the colours were popping beautifully! I bet it was even better in person. Midges! Nothing worse than getting settled for a sunrise or sunset and that cloud of midges appear. Liked your method to repel them though! “Cha cha cha chop chop…” They’re horrible things. Worth it though to see that sunrise! All the best. Good to see you back out.
Taking 🥷 ninja skills to the next level Gav 😂 the good thing about getting older is nit caring and just being yourself, if I wanna chop a midge or sing to the sunrise I will 😂 dance on a rock? Why not eh? Where to next? ATB, Sarah
Great camp Sarah 👌👍
Was just what I needed, felt very blessed to be there 💜✨
Nice seeing u out again Sarah, you had some fab colours to look at out there... I've talked myself out of camping... Very normal... Comfort is too enticing, midges really are the worst thing ever... Always carry long sleeves and net in summer it's a real life saver... Thanks for this vid... Enjoyed watching Sarah... Catch u soon. 🏕️🙂
Hey Mick 👋🏻 thanks for watching as always. Roll on autumn and winter camps, I do love them, like to test myself and at least by then I won’t have so much distraction
With the house and can get out a bit more and make more videos 🤩 I was so prepared last summer with the net and spray and just didn’t think about it on this occasion as it was a bit last minute and my camping box 📦 is out of reach under a new kitchen in boxes ha ha! Nightmare. Anyway, wherever ya get to next have a good one, I have a few places in mind when I have a window of opportunity I’ll be straight out there. Take care 🌟⛺️
... Moments of solitude and peace are priceless ... as is that morning sunrise ... Such beauty ... Stay Safe ... maybe a head net tossed in the pack will be worth the weight ...
Wasn’t it stunning? My favourite part of waking up is seeing the orange glow even before I’ve opened the tent. Very simple things are truly the most beautiful 🤩…regarding the net, I have one 😅 but it’s packed away in my camping box that I can’t get to because there’s a flat pack kitchen in the way…definitely going to get to it before my next outing ☺️
Thanks for another wonderful film Sarah. The title reminded me of this piece which I wrote twenty-odd years ago.So I dug it out.
FLIGHT
Harsh light
strikes cheekbones
and five-o-clock shadow
as I board the flight
into purple.
The flight that is all
and the arrival naught.
Awesome, thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you Sarah,youve got a lovely spot there love,with the Heather an ya kitchen,perfect! Ya got a scratch on ya face with the midges? Till the next one,ta ra. X
I’ve been in a terrible mess with midge bites, had to treat with lavender oil and anti histamine but ya know what? It was well worth the discomfort that followed after that beautiful sunrise 🌅
This really cheered me up, after a tough couple of weeks it was just what I needed.cheers sarah.really appreciated this as we all know youve been mega busy yourself.
Ahhhhh that’s awesome! Just reading your comment cheered me up Gary, thank you! 🙏🏻 back in shift tomorrow and I always feel sad when my days off disappear, I’ve not managed a camp just life stuff and more painting 😂 although I did have a go with a friends drone yesterday and had a wonder in my side of the Peak District which always makes me feel so much better. All the best to you 🌟
Great scenery so close to home. Jealous you can camp at the drop of a hat. Enjoy. Can’t wait for more words of wisdom next time. Bye.
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻 one reason why I’ll never move from
Sheffield with the access I have to the Peak District. It’s always had my heart. I feel very blessed to live here and camp when ever I can ✨⛺️
Hi Sara, been a while since I watched and commented, but good to see you are doing so well! I had a measure of that 'pre camp anxiety' on my last one, it soon fades away once you are out there in the gorgeousness of the Peak District. That sunrise, oh my days what a spectacle you were treated to!
Hey 👋🏻 thank you for watching this time. I must watch your latest vid, an area I’m yet to explore, this time of year is probably the best aswell ☺️ know I’m nit the only one with the anxiety, it’s good to share to help others feel like they’re not alone in their feelings too. Best wishes, Sarah
Great video as always Sarah 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video Sara as always. Do you get any ticks on you?😊
Thank you for watching 🤩 I’ve never had a tick (touch wood 🪵) I wear leggings and hole for the best 😅
“When you get a little dirt in your food while camping, it’s called ‘trail seasoning’.” 🧂🍲
😋
Good to see you playing out again lass! Looking forward to seeing the stags again very soon, I saw a video the other day where a guy had seen a stag up on Kinder! Now that would be even more ace!
White Edge Moor camp in Rutting season, amazing 🤩 they fascinate me…hope your camp put last night was just what the Dr ordered 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🌟🌟🌟
@@SoloSarahBX Ive got a camp up there pencilled in for then, and Bolehill for when they are shedding antlers! They are so majestic.
@@PhilWaud same! Might bump into you sometime…is the purple hair staying a while!?
@@SoloSarahBX oh yes!
@@SoloSarahBX Yes, definitely. Would be great if we did. Ive met a few wild campers now and its always great to see people in person.
😁 hi Sarah, 1 holiday cruise looked fantastic 2 good to see Diana amongst the Heather. Stunning sunrise, great chats and video. This time nextweek me and my durston will be halfway along the affric kintail way 😁🏕🥾🏴 if I have a signal I'll #tag you on a few insta photos from the affric Glen and beyond 😁
The house renovations will all be worth it in the end,. Takecare see you on the nexton 👍🏕
Hiya Mike 🙌🏻 thanks for the tags to date and I hope your having an awesome
Trip! Looks stunning, what an adventure… thanks for watching this one, our holiday was definitely needed and very much enjoyed by all of us, I couldn’t wait to get out camping in the Heather as I can see that purple blanket from my home, what a treat that is. More chats on the next one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 stay safe out there, ATB, Sarah 🏴
@@SoloSarahBX hiya Sarah.. having trouble replying on YT but thankyou and yes I'm having a great time despite the stormy weather..
Great video Sarah, Watched most of your videos now, and love your passion for the area and for getting out camping. I live in north of Scotland, and never been to the Peak District before. However, my campervan is spending two days in for repair in Barnsley in a couple of weeks time, and I intend to spend the night camping somewhere. If you were to recommend a great spot with not too far a walk in, where would it be? Your 'Simply Perfect Wild Camp video at Birchen Edge caught my eye, but is there anything better? Cheers
Hey 👋🏻 how big is your tent? All the places I camp are small pitches for my 1 person tent such as Diana Durston or Hillary Hilleberg Soulo. I mostly pitch so I have a vantage point and can see a good view this video’s pitch is one of my favourites for a city view albeit very far away I’m about 6-7 miles away from Sheffield on this but only half a mile from civilisation. The spot between Higgor Tor and Over Owler Tor can’t be beaten and in my opinion very underrated with a beautiful view of the great ridge in the far distance, guaranteed to be on your own but the pitch is small and not very flat. The pitch overlooking the quarry just down from Surpise view is beautiful but stay away at the weekend or you may be joined by others. If you want a hike and remoteness head to the Derwent Vally up by Bull Stones or Crow stones. If it’s not too windy the Birchen Edge campsite is simply perfect, if it’s windy drop down to explore Gardoms edge under the bur h trees. If you want a beautiful easy access walk and pitch try the Froggatt edge pitch where I made my safety checks video. It was also where I made Diana’s maiden voyage video. So many places to choose…you could explore Kinder Scout if you fancy a climb too! ATB
Sarah ✨💜✨
@@SoloSarahBX Thanks Sarah. I'm in a small 1 person Hilleberg Akto, so no problem 'squeezing in'. Such a choice you have given me. I'll browse them on the map before I head down. Cheers
Cushty, thanks.👍
I felt very lucky and in awe of the purple surroundings 💜😊
A very nice spot up there, and absolutely fantastic in winter when it snows. Did Kungfu Sarah demolish her own kitchen ?😃😃😃 Another cool vid. Thankyou.👍
Nice to see you out again Sarah, I know what you mean about the midge , it was shneided in em last night when i went out. I had my shorts on as well and went through quite a bit of bracken so was paranoid about ticks too. Thankfully though all was well. Went and got a curry from Hathersausage curry house after and sat and ate it in a peaceful spot on Ringinglow Road in Belinda berlingo, watching the sun set over Kinder plateau. A couple of lasses pulled up behind me singing along to an indian tune in their car and spoilt the peace but it made me chuckle :D. I did consider car camping but it was chokka blok with camper vans further up opposite Stanege Edge, I think they were all out to see the perseid meteor shower so i just went home. Lovely evening though all in all! :)
What a beautiful camp the heather looks so beautiful in the background of you standing there just watching the sunrise 😊 the house definitely is having a makeover but it will all be worth it
What a beautiful location and the views you got well done Sarah for making this happen
eyup mate. wow what a sun rise, was really nice.. the midges haha they love my blood too..
Another fantastic video, looks so lovely, well, apart from the midges I bet 😅. Your videos are so inspiring to me, I’ve really rediscovered my love of camping this year, even buying a little Speedster stove (it’s named Sarah after you!), love it! Thanks & good luck with all your house renovations x
Your comment just made my day! How lovely! I’m glad I’m not the only one who names everything 😂😂😂 now I am very proud to have a Speedster stove named after me, fantastic little bit of kit that has never let me down. Such a pleasure to use. I am
So glad that you are inspired by the content that I make, It means the world to read comments like yours. If you are on instagram, tag me in your camping pictures if you choose to record your adventures in that way 😊 ATB, Sarah
Hello Sarah
Little hint regarding the Midgets, get a Thermacell MR 300. It’s lightweight and works well. It will keep the little Blutsuccers away! Not good in strong winds but then there will be anyway no Midgets!
Thank you for the tip 🙌🏻
Great to have you back. Wonderful colours and company. Shame about the miidges!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻 it was a truly stunning camp, the midges were relentless at the end, definitely cut my video short little buggers 😂
Hi Sarah, I enjoyed that. Can I ask what you use to film your trips ?
@@callummacinnes3677 hey 👋🏻 it’s just my iPhone 12 at the moment and a wireless microphone that is compatible with iPhone from Amazon, cheap gimbal type selfie stick£25 and a tripod £15 Amazon. I do have ambition to take the filming up a gear as I enjoy it, certainly when I have got less on my plate and can afford more energy for the editing side of things 😊
@@SoloSarahBX Thanks Sarah Atb
I think that would be one of my favourite places to camp. Nice en suite toliet, kitchen•dinner rock...armchair rock and purple deep pile carpet 💜
I feel you pain with yhe midgets! I got caught out the other night wildswimming! Just as I was changing!! Lol
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching Sally 😊 ha ha! A very comfy home I made here with all my essentials ha ha, got to have a rock for all uses ha ha funny 🤣 midges were absolutely horrendous, I love been caught in a midge massive whilst swimming too! The run back to the car warmed my cockles though 😅
This was a lovely video. Thank you Sarah. It is always worth listening to your many and various thoughts and you even serenaded us this time. Can we expect you to whip out a ukulele from your pack any time soon? Fab. The sunrise was extraordinarily beautiful.
@@TheBearAndHer 😂😂😂 I’m sure I could fit some kind of instrument in my bag…it’s way big enough 🤩 thank for watching and yes, that sunrise took my breath away 🌅 ATB, Sarah
Gorgeous!! Thanks so much for this one. ❤️ loved your necklace too.
Labradorite 😍
😂😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
23:05 - Look at that. Priceless... Thanks Sarah!
Wasn’t it a treat?!! It was so beautiful and the midges stayed away just long enough for me to enjoy the morning sun 🌞
totally beautiful filming - thank you Sarah x
@@wendyhuggins5288 ahhh thank you for watching Wendy 😊😊😊
My partner is like you with the anxiety issue with camping. She talked herself out of one only 2 weeks ago when I was away. Ended up hibernation in flat and cried.😒 love the heather and the beautiful setting for camp. Love "bobs your uncle" quote I replied and "fanny's your aunt" lol. Glad you got itch scratched lol😂. Good to see you oot and aboot lass.hope family are well. It will soon be time for hillary how time flies 🏕🏕
Ahhhh bless her 💜 I hear ya, I just have to talk myself into some camps, for me it’s about tuning into what I really want and not what I should be doing. I get distracted by the mundane but feel alive when I set off with my backpack in the car. Sometimes
Making that step is harder than the camp itself. It’s doesn’t happen often but with the house renovations I love being here watching the changes and getting stuck in. Camping is a distraction that I havnt always needed at present but when I’m out there I’m
So glad I got there as the downtime
Is needed. Burnout is real! So camps keep me sane 😊 was gonna put Fanny’s your aunt in but realised most folk would do it for themselves 😂😂 ATB Jane and I hope your misses gets out soon to let nature ground her soul 💜
She says thanks for your inspiring words ❤️.just back from a week in lakes got her up some hills it helped reset batteries a bit! Got very tired legs though !. Happy housing renovations 🏡🏡🏡@SoloSarahBX
Great video! You're fortunate to have such a beautiful place to wild camp so close to home. Thank you for sharing.
