- I've been solo wild camping in arguably the best place in the Peak District. The Edale valley boasts some beautiful views and it's super easy to get up on top of the Kinder plateau to some perfect wild camp spots.
Join me as I venture out alone on this wild camp. I talk through what I carry for food and test out some of my new camping gear.
If you're new here, please say hello in the comments. If you have any questions let me know and I will answer them the best I can.

I’m thinking of reviewing more of my equipment, what would you like to see me review?
What is your tent there?? The MSR elixir 2??
@@bluebellcrushedvelvet yes it is
@@jamieoutdoors oh nice!! That's the one I want for myself also!! Saving for it! Would be an upgrade and I would be so satisfied with it!
Perfect tent but just wish it was exactly the same but lighter!
@@bluebellcrushedvelvet couldn’t agree more
@@jamieoutdoors 😊👌🏻
Good watch! Enjoyed the drone footage too! That's a great spot for a beautiful sunrise. All the best!
Thank you
Many thanks - happy trails.🙏🏻
Thank you
Loved it!! So picturesque 😍😍
Absolutely outstanding work! Narrated part, audio recording, drone footage, composition of your camera are beautiful and overall atmosphere of the scenes is just amazing.
Thank you. That’s so kind of you. Glad you loved it
Nice camp Jamie, well edited! Thanks for sharing dude 🙌🏕👍
Thank you for the kind comment
Loved it! Great footage, made me want to get out there.
Thank you Katy
Really enjoyed that mate great vid. Looks like a good pitch too. Loved the editing and quality of the video. 👍 subd. ATB Simon
Thank you man. I’m glad you liked it. I’m heading out again this weekend and should have another video out soon this week
Great video mate! Will be doing a bit of this soon
Thank you :) have a good one
This video came to me at the perfect time I was just thinking of my next trip what a godsend great video mate.
Thank you man. Kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. Kinder Scout is the perfect wild camp location to be honest. There’s some good views on top :)

I was up there through the Edale valley doing a Wild Camp in the Snow earlier this month, fantastic experience! It is a beautiful area! I have the Osprey Aether 85l (only just enough room, with me luxuries, in winter lol). Informative video, keep em coming Jamie!
Thank you buddy. So glad that you loved it. It can get really cold up there. I rock a 65l with all my stuff plus camera gear.
Edale about 40 minutes for me from home. As a wild camper know it well. Great video
Thank you
Jamie, great video. Well planned, composition on point and good mix of static, drone and narrated shots all brought together with some fine editing. The valley is an awesome place to camp although it can be a little bit busy for my liking. Came this way via Linkedin btw so didn't question the Huel involvement. ATB Andy
Thank you so much for the feedback. Is there anything you’d change about the video? I’m always open to making my production or edit better. I was fortunate that it was a mid-week camp
@@jamieoutdoors I'm the last person to give critique on video production. Mine are proper pants!!
Personally, the video appears well thought out, confident delivery to camera and well composed for shots and storytelling. A nice mix of shots makes it flow well. All positive from me. ATB Andy
Heat video. New subscriber here
Thanks so much. So glad you liked it
Nice video mate, I've been wanting to do it myself. Where abouts did you park as most car parks say no overnight stays?
The edale valley car park is good. And you can pay online. No campers though. Just cars
New sub here. I enjoyed your vid. Lovely place to pitch up. Which route did you ascend Kinder? 😀
I actually sort of took the wrong route and had to yolo it. But I started in Edale took the Pennine way and then cut up to Grindslow Knoll
Good job brother...we same
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@jamieoutdoors happy Camping brother
Brilliant video, Thanks Jamie! This was so informative for me, I'm going this Tues 11th, I was going to go to Castleton then Mam Tor, I like this better, any ideas where I can park for a day or two plaease? Never been. Many Thanks Subscribed!
If you’re going for a two day hike/ camp. Then there is free parking at the base of mam Tor. Near blue johns cavern. You can trek across the lords seat and end up on Kinder Scout pretty easily. Then you have the choice of areas to camp on the NW side or the South side. Then for day two you could easily walk around Kinder for another camp or go elsewhere. Up to you really. So glad you loved it.
@@jamieoutdoors Thanks so much Jamie, I felt a little vulnerable worrying about parking, it's a worry you don't need, especially as I've never been to the area before. Really appreciate your advice and awesome channel, Thanks again Buddy!
@@stevew585 your car should be fine. I now have a whole van to worry about. But personally I’ve never had an issue parking in the Peak District. I know others have. But I think they’ve probably just not parked where they’re meant to. Happy camping
Enjoyed that, Jamie. Not convinced about your food though. 😊. Subbed
Thanks, Mark, what's your go-to food of choice for a wild camp? What's not to convince you?
@@jamieoutdoors I much prefer to cook fresh food on my Trangia, I do sometimes take dehydrated meals but only on rare occasions. I enjoy the cooking experience I suppose. I normally take out some veg and cook a stew.
@@QuakerJones268 I have yet to try out some camping recipes. I guess with my pot that would be very doable in reality. Do you ever take inspiration from any websites for wild camp food recipes
@@jamieoutdoors No not really, I just do my own thing.
Hello mate,
New here , have to say it's a great video. Is that llegal to do a wild comping in England? If so, could you shar that location 🙏 ?
Thought you can ONLY do that in Scotland .
Please let me know , cuz we're 4 people so have a bigger tent . Will appreciate your input .
Hey, so wild camping is technically not allowed in England. But I’d say it’s highly tolerated in some areas. This was in the Peak District on top of Kinder Scout. The main thing is to just set up late, leave no trace and not to set fires. A four man tent probably isn’t going to be the best for wild camping. I’d opt for two 2 person tents.
Also, don’t camp on farmland would be my top tip.
Wild camping for me is just about being respectful of others, your surroundings and having fun. As long as I’m doing all of those things I can’t see why someone would have a problem with it.
There are also tonnes of videos about if wild camping in legal in the UK. Paul messner has a good video on it. Have a watch and if you’ve got any messages, let me know.
@@jamieoutdoors hey,
Your very informative and thank you for such a quick reply.
Everything you mentioned I also too respect massively , infact myself and some next doors cleaning up some arears where we live and I cant stand people when they abusing areas that they live in or even camping sites .
Good luck and will be following you here 👍👍👍.
@@watanhamwatan9270 thank you and so glad you liked my content. Feel free to share with anyone you know is looking for wild camping tips
New to your channel..Awesome camera work..Liked your calm way of talk..All the best wishes from India 🇮🇳 .Subscribed ✌️
Thank you so much. So glad you liked it :)
Great video. Please can I check the exact location where you did the wild camp ? Also where is the best place to park the car ?
Have you got a car?
The car park in Edale is good for cars. But not campers or vans. I think it’s £6 over night and has CCTV if you’re worried about leaving your vehicle. The location is near Grindslow Knoll. But the camp largely depends on wind direction
Thank you, much appreciate
How long is the walk sorry ? Google map says around 45 mins is that correct ?
@@jaiminjaison8014 I’d say 1hour 30 roughly according to OS maps app. Which is £25 for the year and very useful for this sort of thing. I should work for them ey?! I would allow longer as well if you’re carrying lots of stuff and depending on your fitness levels
Jamie, how much water do you suggest I take for a two night wild camp around Mam Tor area, I have a Sawyer Mini but Im sure there's no water source in the area?
I haven’t done any two nights camps in that area before. So I’m not sure how much water you’d need. If you end up on Kinder Scout providing it’s rained recently there are a few streams leading off from the top. Have you done a one nighter before? I usually take 2-3l on a one nighter if I intend to hike for a whole days worth/make dinner/make coffee.
@@jamieoutdoors To be honest this is my first ever wild camp, I may stick to one night to be safe, obviously I know you can't run before you can walk. Thing is I may have been a bit to optimistic saying two nights, reason being, it's a 3 hour drive from my house Cambridgeshire, but wanted to make the most of it, if you see what I mean:)
@@stevew585 yeah I totally get you. You could always take lots of water in the car for two nights. Do one camp and then camp somewhere else the second night. If you have time
@@jamieoutdoors yeah sounds like a plan, I'll do the one night and see how it goes, very excited! Feeling like a kid again! lol. Thanks Buddy 😊
@@stevew585 no worries. Let me know how it goes
What sleeping bag Jamie?
It’s a RAB solar 2
What time of year was this?
April time.
Whats the postcode of that
Hey so sorry I didn’t see this comment. It’s on top of kinder scout which is it the Peak District. I parked in Edale overnight. Cost me £7 for all night parking.
Great video I know it's strange to ask but a lot of campers who go up there claim to have experienced paranormal activity on Kinder Scout. comical
but there is videos on TH-cam of it.
have you yourself have any strange phenomenal many thanks....
No paranormal activity for me thanks. Camped there plenty of times too
