Camping amongst the Peak Districts infamous ‘Woolpacks’ | Essential Blizzard 2 Mod

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video we head out on our first wild camp in the beautiful Peal District. Our journey took us from the lush Vale of Edale, up through the ever popular Grindsbrook Clough and onto the Kinder Scout Plateau. The weather was both windy and wet in equal measures.
Once atop Kinder we made our way across the moorland paths, to what can only be described as the martian landscape that is the Woolpacks. The Woolpacks are a proud cluster of bulbous looking, Gritstone rock formations.
Being unfamiliar to the area and with plenty of peaty bogs about we took our time to scour the location for a suitable camp. Eventually, we came across a pretty well sheltered bowl that allowed us to pitch camp out of reach, of the worst of the elements. The tents on this trip are the Wild Country Blizzard 2 & OEX Bobcat, and Gossamer Gear The One. This is the camp that followed.

Another authentic great video gents. This is what camping is all about for me. Enjoyment, banter, varying degrees of adversity thrown in… Washed down with a beer. Great tip as well. Thank you 👍
Cheers mate, it’s certainly what it’s all about for us, can’t beat it 👌 all the best - BR
Great tip for the Blizzard guy line

Yay! Kinder scout virgins no more 😍 🎉
Cracking outing, definitely won’t be the last 👌
Great video. Well put together.
Cheers David, glad to hear you enjoyed it. All the best - BR
Great post , really enjoyed watching, I wild camp in the Peak District about twice a month and I use the helm 2 , in all conditions and some really wild winds it’s stood up absolutely fantastic, the helm two is an absolute tank in all weather, tried and tested and still to this day , great post lads and enjoy the rest of your adventures 🤝
Thanks for the feedback mate we really appreciate it 👌 the Helm 2 is an absolute cracker and potentially the best bang for buck tent on the market, workhorse! Take care and all the best in the new year - BR
Left a detailed comment on this video 4days ago........cannot see it now 😮........anyway just on my way to work so I'l be brief....cracking video lads, great attitude to your surroundings,smart tent mod, good to see you out again....ATB.....Stu..👍👍👍👍
Hi Stu and apologies if we missed a comment, we make every effort to respond to all messages. Thanks mate it’s a beautiful place and we really enjoyed the change of scenery! Take care and all the best 👍BR
@@borderraiders No worries mate. Not your fault it sometimes happens with youtube from time to time, comments just disappear.👌
I’ll get a carabiner for my blizzard, great tip mate.🍺🍺👍
Not the biggest mod in the world, but it does make a noticeable difference! 👍 All the best - BR
Great video lads. First time I’ve watched, all well put together. I’ll have a watch back through the older vids and I look forward to the new content coming out. Liked and subscribed 👍.
Thanks Geoff really appreciate it mate, glad you enjoyed the vid and hope you enjoy the others! All the best 👍 BR
Another great piece of content lads, great to see yous getting out and enjoying yourselves. Subscribed a few weeks ago and have enjoyed watching the vids on the channel. Have taken some tips and tricks from you for my own solo wild camping up here in Scotland. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next upload!
Thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel, we really appreciate it! Great to hear you are finding the vids enjoyable and useful 👍 one in the works so hopefully you aren’t waiting long, all the best - BR
Awesome, I've wanted to go there for a good few years now, and I will 2024.
Excellent content as usual,
Only way to top that camp would of been to bump into Pat Dickinson , the Master.
Well done boys.
@@alanroberts4060 get yourself up there, it’s fantastic! Could imagine it to be beautiful and lush in spring. Bumping into the OG would be an honour and a privilege haha
Another great vid lads, keep it up 👍🏻 and if I had to pick one national park forever it'd be tough between Snowdonia and the lakes but I think the lakes would just edge it.
Cheers mate and it’s a tough one, both have their own unique qualities and charms. The biggest being the Lakes probably has more readily available pitches compared to Snowdonia. All the best - BR
Cracking camp again fellas!! Nice to see you venture into the Peaks.. it's about an hour away from me and kinder is my go to camp spot! A question for you Keith mate, I'm in the market for a stove (jetboil user).. would you recommend the Soto Windmaster after having it for a while or would suggest a different option?? Great tips with the naan breads and the carabiner mod!! 👍
Cheers Rob and very lucky mate it’s beautiful. Looking forward to exploring it more going forward 👌 I’ve had both the stoves you mentioned and they both good. If the majority of food/cooking you do is boil in the bags, dehydrated meals, then it’s probably not worth it. If fancy cooking things like naan breads, frying things off etc then yeah it’s great. The actual wind-master itself has been great, and its really versatile and saves the hassle of the pot adapter on the Jetboil. It can be a tad fiddly fitting the support at times, but once on it’s solid and can hold big pots/pans no problem. If someone never had a stove and asked what setup to go for, I’d defo say windmaster & pan as it can do everything, with less fuss and realistically you’d never have to change system, unless you wanted your water to boil 20 seconds faster. I think the trick to getting the most out the windmaster, is getting a good pot/pan to make the most of the stove itself, otherwise may as well stay with jet-boil. Hope this helps, all the best - BR
@@borderraiders It certainly does help matey.. Thanks very much for the prompt reply!! Have a look at doing a full circular loop of Kinder next time you're down this way. Some nice camp options around Seal stones on the north path. Also Kinder Downfall is worth seeing. Unbelievable what you can see from there on a clear day.. Snowdon, Whernside, Pen-y-ghent. also Manchester easily, Crewe and Ellsmere port!!
Cheers mate we will take a look, like you said, so much on our doorstep 👌
What's the flat pan, looks perfect. Cheers
iBasingo 1000ml Titanium Frying. Pop that into Amazon and it should come up. Had it a few months now and it’s not bad. It’s ok for things like stews in which you can keep it moving and gently bring it to simmer. But if you are wanting to fry stuff like burgers a lot you are better going with something that’s not titanium in our experience. All the best - BR
Enjoyed that lads. Same happened to me with the Bobcat guy ropes - I always tie them up now. 🏕️
Glad to hear you enjoyed it mate and yeah, will definitely be taking more care going forward to have them squared away and ready to go, lucky the wind wasn’t anything crazy 👍 All the best - BR
@@borderraiders great tip with the front guyrope btw. 👍🏻
