Not exactly wild camping but camping in the corner of a mates farm , was a good night good food but a bloody freezing morning

Had a unplanned last minute camp on Kinder last night at the Woolpacks area. Really bloody hard walk up with the big pack on. Got asked by buss full of Chinese looking young people how far back to Edale and which way to get there! Told them exactly 2.8 miles as i was tracking my route out from there and pointed them in the right direction. Found a nice little spot overlooking Jacobs ladder. Sun came out for the last half hour before disappearing and them the temperature plummeted big time. Cracking morning though listening to the Cerlews and a Cookoo. Had a Kestral buzzing around me too. Packed up early and was back at the car in Edale for 8:00 this morning. Nice little trip out.

See on the thread you started. Use Google to find campsites in the area you want, there's loads.

Nice night away last weekend, only a quick one as didn't get away from the yard until 11.30 ish after laying concrete. First night in the tentbox and can say we enjoyed it and slept well. I usually prefer a more remote camping spot but we were meeting friends in their camper and they wanted electric hookup so headed up to baskerville Hall in Hay on Wye. Cheap enough £24 for two adults for the night and they leave you alone to it.

Does the truck move much if you’re trying to get it on in one of those tent boxes ? 🫢

[lampingboy 204]

I can't confirm FD as we had our 2 year old lad with us but I can't Imagine there's much that wouldn't move with my 18 stone arse on top of it.

Back out on Kinder scout again last night. Had company this time and it was first time out for a lad that I work with. It's an absolute killer of a walk up from Edale upto Grindslow Knoll.. especially with big pack on!! Really steep going up but once your on top it stays pretty flat. Good night. No drama's. Didn't really take any pics either! 

The elevation graph!

My heart rate went bezerkers going up!! 

It's a good little work out though to be truthful and feels like you've earned your snap and a can or three once your set up. Hitting the lake district hopefully next month!
