SOLO WILD CAMP with my dog near the beautiful PADLEY GORGE

- I had an emergency whilst camping with my dog over the weekend - sorry for the delay with this video.
Padley Gorge is probably the most photographed place in the whole of the Peak District during autumn and for good reason! A cascading babbling stream flowing through the Gorge and ancient deciduous woodland makes it a photographer's heaven.
It's also a cracking place to wild camp if you head up into the old quarry. As always folks leave no trace and please respect this beautiful place!

It's Cat lol, but thank you! Hope to catch u on the next one 😁
A lovely place to camp nice one 👍....also an apology I was a bit harsh on you the last video regarding a fire.....you clearly respect the great outdoors and inspire a lot of people...so sorry and all the best 👍 🏕
Thank you that means a lot because I really do care, want to do the right thing and educate people. 😁
😁👍 hiya Kat.. I have now have wildcamp envy and trangia steak envy 🤣👍 definatley the best place for a wildcamp in the peaks No1.. Great video kat. Well done for sorting the firepit LNT 👍😁 even in the rain, padley gorge is a stunning place.. 😁
Haha, get your steak on! Thank you for the LNT feedback too, think I upset some folk last time so trying to make amends! 😁
What are you using for pics as those are ace 🙂
I use snapseed app, it's great! 😁
What a lovely walk, colours are so beautiful this time of year.And wonderful spot to camp for the night. Your dinner looked absolutely delicious, top class camping grub. Keep up the wonderful adventures. All the Best X
Aww thanks Asa, glad you enjoyed, it was top notch grub fo sho 👍😁
So sad to see so many having ground fires, scorching the earth and leaving the scaring for all to see. Very irresponsible!
Fires can be safe if well managed and should be covered over afterwards, unfortunately not many people do 😢
Was there any slugs hurt making this video
Haha not on this occasion 🤣
Thank you for making these video's, your showing this old man places i could only dream of going, and you are so funny and we love your lab, world class you both are
Awww thank you what a lovely comment! So glad you're enjoying the videos 😁
Just realised i have not been up to Padly for 2 or 3 years, being in South Derbyshire I tend to go Dovedale or Stanton moor but no excuse rely, its only 15 or 20 mins more drive to get there 😁
Yeah literally is only 15 mins more to get there, worth the drive 😁
@@Wild.cat.adventures Yes got to do it 🙂
Steak looked mint ..
Cracking woodland camp
ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍
Aww cheers for stopping by Dan, it's a lovely little spot 😁
Nice vid. Glad you didn't bother with the fire though as that whole area is a SSSI. Some quite rare fungi make their home there. Sorry for being your most miserable viewer once again, but the area is my baby. Maybe we could share a camp one day, and you'll see i'm not totally miserable. i know somw very nice wild camp spots. ;)
It's OK I understand, I love the area too. It's an sssi for 3 types of lichen that are rare in the Midlands and is the best example of the woodlands that once covered the edges and uplands of the Peak District. I left it better than I found it and picked up some litter too. Might change my thumbnail later today to make the location less obvious too 👍
brilliant video cat, hope your ok and the emergency wasnt too serious. x
It was serious but Xena is OK thank god! More to follow on this soon stay tuned! 👍
Love your videos!!!! I'm a fairly new subscriber but I've looked back at a good few of your posts and really enjoyed them!!
I've actually just bought myself a hot tent n stove to try and extend the camping season.....we'll see how that goes!!! 😜
I'm so jealous would love a hot tent! Hope you have lots of fun in it! 😁
Recently found your channel and find your videos a pleasure to watch. I miss my many walks with my Patterdale they are great company in the wilderness. Your photos in the gorge were fabulous with such good autumn colour captured. You mention Hillebergs in the video, how about a head to head with a Fjallraven Abisko Lite 1? Take good care and happy walking!
I'm thinking about getting a Patterdale or similar, I bet you miss yours very much, I can't imagine life without Xena. Thanks for taking the time yo comment, hope you enjoy the channel.
Brilliant! Another great video, amazing location and your humour is always entertaining! 🤣
Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😁
Thanks for the great video Cat, you've inspired me to head to the Peak District before winter arrives 😀
Aww that's lovely to hear I hope you enjoy - Castleton, mam tor, lady bower and chattsworth are a must and of course Padley Gorge 😁
Cat, what beautiful woodland to walk through👣🌳💦 explore and photograph👍 The old quarry looks like a fantastic spot for wild camping with cool views. Safety first🔥👍 to make that mouth watering dinner YUM👍 A lovely still and atmospheric morning even with the 🌧 A lovely peaceful and relaxed trip👍
Thank you it's such a beautiful place I don't think the video does it justice but I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Hey Cat, that looks a lovely area for a walk, great photos too, I never bother changing the iso settings etc either, maybe I should 🤣 I do love a good ruin in the woods too, makes you think about the history and what's gone in there 😁 nice little camp spot, with a ready made fire pit too 👌 great advice on clearing the pit too 😁 nice supply of wood on hand too 👍 I agree on the Scarps sides need to go right to the ground 👌 a near perfect tent for me too, still got your pegs safe and sound 🤣👌 again great advice on not having the 🔥 wind, fire and an expensive tent don't mix 😳 food looked a1 as always 🤤 I do love a pepper corn sauce 🤤 aaaaaaaand Xena's PJ's are back 🥰🥰🥰 and a lovely misty morning to wake up to 😊 no slugs in the coffee this time eh 😳🤣🤣🤣 great camp and video, catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Haha cheers Paul! Nope, no slugs this time. I can still see their slimey trails on my tent and keep thinking they're there, but it's just an old slimey slug trail 🤣 I've got a plan to camp in some ruins in woods but could do with a 4x4 tarp, don't spose I coukd borrow yours? (totally cheeky I know 🤣) it's a cracking little spot for sure and I'll definitely be back. Think I might have to stop giving the locations away though 😬
I love the pitta patter of the rain, on a tent. I could just imagine the fairies watching over you and Xena, whilst you slept, in that magical wood. You ate better in the field, than I do at home 😉. The stills you took were actually pretty good. I'm looking forwards to your next video, thank you🌷
I eat better in the woods than I do at home too 🤣 lovely thought - fairies watching over us 😊
Great footage as always Cat.. 🤙🏼
Thank you 😁👍
Mint watch the food looked yummy and the pics you took are ace cheers for sharing
Aww thanks freddy glad you enjoyed 😁👍
@@Wild.cat.adventures I sure did
Nice calming hike camp and meal - loved it
Thank you, it was very relaxing for me too 😁
loving your videos
you have got me curious
what is the material you are using in your trangia stove and
what are the benefits and
purpose for said material in the trangia...??
thank you in advance
I had a speedster spill proof alcohol burner, but the container broke so I thought I would try the wadding from that in the trangia. It stops 50% of the alcohol spilling out so makes it a bit safer. It seems slightly more fuel efficient too but that could be my imagination 😂
@@Wild.cat.adventures thank you
it sounds plausible to be a bit more fuel efficient
i guess the wadding would be cotton based just like oil lamps heaters or petrol lighters etc
@@bushcraftone7240 no idea it doesn't say on website but possibly from the texture 👍
Nice vid and camp out.
Thank you! 😁
Great vid cat the pics you took look great to me.nice spot nice food and nooo slugs 👍😊
winner winner no slug dinner 🤣
@@Wild.cat.adventures 😂😂you crack me up 😂😂
Another beautiful place in the Peaks!
When I was younger we'd have family walks around here. Park at Grindleford, breakfast at the cafe when Phil owned it. Up thru' Padley gorge, up Burbage valley, along the top of Stanage then down thru the plantation to Hathersage. Lunch and a pint in the Little John then back along the Derwent to Grindleford.
A great 10 mile walk.
Thanks for the video, brought back many happy memories :)
Aye that's a fair trek that one! Love that area of the peaks, so many good walks!
Hi Kat, another brilliant video, just an observation and I hope you don't mind me saying...but that's what comments are for. I think you said you was using an I phone? I personally find the I phone gives lovely photos but they seem harsh and not true colours. If it was me I'd use the latest Samsung, more true to life etc etc...Anyway just an observation and I'm still using your ma's recipes for dehydrated nosh...Amazing stuff. Hugs Martin xx
I have the Samsung s21, not quite the latest but its pretty good. Wish I had a dslr though! 😁
Thank you Kat for another fantastic video. You really do brighten my day!!! ✌️✌️✌️
Aww thanks, well your comment has brightened mine too! 😁
A reet gradely video love. Excellent stills, well done. Really glad I found your channel 😊
Aww thanks, really appreciate your kind words 😁
@@Wild.cat.adventures oh, and by the way, you look amazing with wet hair 😉
@@paulhuggan-cammack2928 I'm not so sure about that but cheers! 😁
Really enjoying watching your videos in no particular order. My camping days are a distant memory I’m afraid but watching your videos are triggering my lust for sleeping outdoors again. I’m an keen hiker and I’m often seeing places that look great for overnight stops.
If you can hike there's no reason you can't camp? Either way, glad you're enjoying the outdoors and that's the main thing! 😁
Another good video.
Thank you 👍
Cracking camp , loved the area you was in , very peaceful
Thanks Stuart! It's a beautiful place 😁
Hey kat x where did you get zenas jumper? Definitely restaurant standard :)
It's from equafleece 👍
Thanks for that I've been looking but been struggling to find some with back leg sleeves haha (best way I can describe it) :D
@@chiperchap I didn't get the measurements right, hope you do better than me! 👍
I dunno, zena looks warm and cute. Doesn't look to ride up on her or bother her on her inside back legs :) Toby is usually in the hammock with me on a night but he's gonna need something extra this winter as I like to sit out and he likes to be with me even if he's shivering
@@chiperchap they are great, hope Toby enjoys his PJs! 😁
hi,I would put my robens starlight 2 up against your scarp. I came across the robens starlight a few months ago being reduced from £250 to £162 so I bought it.( I done the usual when I started wild camping listening to youtubers saying that the vango banshee or the oex phoxx were the way to go I bought them and hated both of them. they may be cheap but you get what you pay for.so the search started for a good tent at roughly the same price)the starlight is a proper G of a tent, it weighs 2.5kg which is the bad point the good points are
160km wind speeds
it's huge you can sit up with loads of room above.
it has a washing line
corners are squared like the scarp
it has Windows/ vents at head and foot area plus window in door with mesh covering.
6 pegs to set up
fixed corner posts
full material inner tent ,so really warm.
if anyone reads this and is looking for a tent you can use all year round this is without doubt the tent for you . like video hope your both OK, take care , see you in next video.
You got a good price there. With a review like that you may need to get into reviewing items more often! 👍
to be honest I bought it because its a sort of cheap scarp which is the tent I really want and someday hope to have based on your review of it.thanks for replying,take care.
What a nice spot to camp 👌
Thank you 😁👍
That looks good to me 😉
It was beautiful 😁
