Hi, welcome to the Glossop wild camping channel! I have always loved the countryside of Derbyshire where I live and have enjoyed many a walk alone and with family or friends over the years. After being inspired by a friend of mine who enjoys wild-camping, plus some added inspiration from other RU-vidrs (who are a lot more experienced than I am!) I decided to give it a go. Join me on my journey as I enjoy this amazing new interest and gain experience through trial and error, you will see some of the beauty of this gorgeous part of the country and hopefully enjoy some of my random banter along the way!
Interesting spot, even if a bit bleak, but then, that's what you signed up for after all! ..that farmer is a wrong'un..I've heard all kinds of rumours, and he stopped me on my eMTB tracks before. I suspect he has no right to shut down a right of access, but i wouldn't go near that place even if he hadn't tbh.
Enjoyed that very much, the typical day of hiking to a destination and having to retrace ones steps because either a Private path/fence or unpassable body of fast flowing water. Enjoyed the drone footage and the wild camp. Very much enjoyed listening to an elucidation involving your faith and how you came to it! I know the Bible very well as I studied it, as I have the Quran in regards to my faith as well as work over the years! I totally agree with one major point you stated; there are religious people who go through the motions of being religious (an outward show) and those that actually believe that one has to make changes in ones personal life to be acceptable to our God. Believing that all you have to do is believe in God, and as for sin, do as you like and you will be forgiven, is absolute toss and stupidity at the highest level. We as humans cannot dictate to God how we should worship him and what is acceptable to him. No we have to learn the standards, laws and principles of what is acceptable to him and follow them. As for Cults, they always try to isolate family and friends from your association at an early stage, as it is easier to brain wash you and of course the control factor. They want you to believe they are the family and only family you should be loyal to and trust. This cult principle of control is also in street gangs, where they are your family and you have to prove your loyalty by committing crime. Thankyou for sharing a little light into part of your life!
Thanks for talking about your faith. I have none myself but find it interesting to hear about others' journeys.Another cracking film and it was good to see the winding down back at t'office.
Good for your Dad having an enquiring mind of his own. Thank you for your story. So happy 😊 you n yours are free from humanities invoked dogma. I finally get your channel and you too. Best of wishes Brian✊️😬. We're all on the way to being better people 🎉😁
@fraserconnell21 Great comment Fraser, really appreciate that. It's risky to bear ones soul on a video, but felt it was important to share, and hopefully will help someone out there.
Good to see you both out on another adventure. 👌 Spectacular location for this one Bri!! We're not that familiar with that far corner of Kinder, we're putting that right very soon too.. and we also love going somewhere not knowing where we're going to pitch up, exciting in't it! 😊 Hey.. strong tent talk guys. 👍 After your last camp, it looked like this one really was a 'corker' after all. 💥⛺💚
Hi Mats, really appreciate your comment, I always enjoy reading them, you ooze positivity and that comes across strongly in your videos too. I'm sure you will agree that being out there on Kinder is a tonic to the soul in every respect. Definitely recommend this area to you mate, it's top notch 👍
@@Glossopwildcamp Aww Bri.. what a lovely comment mate, I really appreciate that. Thankyou. 🙏💚 Yes, it really is a tonic for the soul. ✨ Top notch will do for us! 👍 All the best Bri. ⛺👌
@timstokes8283 It was top end Tim, it seems a quiet corner of the plateau and well worth another visit I think. That tune is about 20 years old recorded in my bedroom in New Mills!
Great camp Bri, enjoy seeing you two together, Tim is a top bloke too.. So good to see other wild campers keepin' it real too + Trump was nearly assassinated since this camp, that would have been a conversation. Solid effort put into location, looking forward to seeing your next wild camp upload. 👍🏻
Big thanks for your great comment mate, there's a risk to keeping it real, but I can not be any other way, truth needs to be told. These wild camps help to keep me sane in this insane world!
Special treat this morning, a GWC video! Yay! Blooming heck Brian, not starting until 7:30 - in a month or so we will all be tented up by then! Great video, thank you. Id always fancied a camp at Mad Womans Stones, even more so now.
Cheers Phil, I know, it was a really late start, Fridays are a working day for Tim so we just couldn't get there any earlier. I think that mid-week camps are the best, but its not often I get the chance with family commitments etc. I highly recommend this area, really quiet, lots of nice flat spots to pitch and great views to boot.
Thanks mate, yeah I had a feeling you would be on the same page. It's a bit of a risk putting our views out there on YT, It may offend a few folks, but I'm not going to avoid talking truth when I know it. Who knows, it might serve to help wake a few folks up!
Nothing like getting out there! I find the rain hitting the tent rather relaxing. No matter the weather it is still a great adventure. It's all about me time and rebooting the system for the next week ahead. Keep em coming
Great Job. Curious about how the farmer will react to the remaining stone lying at the base? no Problem - clean it up himself or question why you did not build it as thick as the original. I love this tutorial and thanks
Thanks for the comment. The farmers fields are littered with loose stones around the margins from previous repairs and some walls that have started to fall due to livestock damage, so these leftovers will be used for future repairs as required. I have found that I rarely have the right amount of stone as it is impossible to build the wall exactly the way it was before it fell.
Absolutely brilliant! Wonderful views, beautifully filmed. We love the humour, philosophical discussions and banter. So glad you had good weather (but for the inevitable chilliness!!). You could try peppermint oil for the midges, they really don't seem to like it. Many thanks indeed Bri! 👍😄 (we totally agree about the weather and other matters - something is definitely awry!!)
Takes me back, my first ever wildcamp on kinder scout was right next to edale rocks (my first 2 RU-vid videos on my channel are of that camp) I've also camped on swines back. Nice video, very calming 👍🏻
Cheers matey 👍👍 It is a lovely area, but it was a shame that it was so busy. Wild camping has become mainstream it seems! I'll have a look at the videos you mentioned. Take it easy mate.
Great vid! It tends to get noisy there in the 5am time. I'd camped at Kinder Low and loads were load and passing by. I asked how come you're all up so early hiking, they had left Edale at 3am to get ahead of the weather heading to Crowden on the Pennine way. Woolpacks would have been better, next time. Whisky review too is always a pleasure. Keep the vids going... Best wishes, Mike.
Great video again Bri, enjoy seeing our local area, keep them coming. But, im not so sure of your Kilchoman pronunciation, i may be talking rubbish but think it could be pronounced as 'c' rather than 'ch'. Have you ever visited Islay? Fabulous place, not just the whisky but the wildlife too 😊
Thank you Debbie 🙂 I do like to pronounce things correctly, perhaps if If I can find a Scottish person on RU-vid that is reviewing that whisky I will find my answer! I will come back to you.
Hi Andy, thanks for watching and commenting. I have subbed your channel mate, and I will check out your video, it's great to compare notes on an area. Take it easy. Bri.
Such a shame that you didn’t get enough sleep but I guess that’s the way it is on occasion. I’ve been looking at Tunstall Farm House on rightmove, what a location but sadly considerably beyond my budget! I absolutely love Kinder Scout and still have parts to explore and Cloughs to scramble after many Peak District visits in the past 29 years. Kinder Low-end is pretty hard going, I find descending it hard on my knees, that’s for sure. There is a path off to the left not far from the drystone wall, it’s very indistinct initially but becomes clear after a short distance. It offers a longer but less steep route up that side of Kinder. If you like a scramble, I heartily recommend Crowden Clough on the Southern side, it’s a bit more exciting than Grindsbrook (although taking the right hand fork near the top of Grindsbrook provides some meaningful scrambling), I also highly recommend Nether Red Brook on the Northern Edge, we just walked past Ashop Head along the base of the Northern Edge until we got there. It was fun. Blackden Brook is next on the list, or maybe “the Cloughs” near Jacobs Ladder. Glad you had an enjoyable walk back to Bowden Bridge. I’’m back in Hayfield in four weeks time and can’t wait!
Hi Greg, a big thanks for your comment, really enjoyed reading it, I think I got a notification that you have subbed as well? Thanks for that 🙂You're right about Kinder Low end, it's quite a slog with a heavy backpack! I'm grateful for all of your recommendations and hope to check them out in future hikes/camps. Hope you get great weather for your walks when you'r back in Hayfield 👍👍
@@Glossopwildcamp You are welcome! Whilst it comes to mind, one of the most beautiful views is found at Crow Stones and Crow Stones Edge, on the Howden Moors at the top end of the Derwent Valley. The view is epic over the Howden and Derwent reservoirs. Andrew Beavers did a wild camp video up that way which shows it very well. There is a spring nearby for a water source too. The Crow Stones are quite large and mostly climable too! It’s pretty remote and not too many people go there. I either park at Kings Tree near Slippery Stones near the Howden Reservoir or tackle the journey from Langsett Reservoir. Some paths are fairly indistinct across the Howden Moors but the most you explore it, the easier it becomes. There are some plane wrecks tucked away up there too. I expect you are aware of Derwent Edge too, a few miles along past Howden Edge, that is full of great views and rock formations! Another great place for a wild camp!
What a nice relaxing watch Bri. Well done for climbing Kinder Low End, it looked well steep. I'll definitely be up for a trip to Mad Woman's Stones with you & Tim. If it's soggy or there's not enough space @MWS, then the quarry at Crookstone Knoll is nearby as a back-up plan B camp site.👍
Thanks once again Steve, yes it was quite a slog in that heat with the backpack on, but got there in the end! I will come back to you about organising the MWS camp, hopefully next week as I'm away for the weekend. Good to know you have a back up plan if we need it mate. Cheers!
What a difference a day makes eh! Well, we really lucked out the night before judging by your conditions mate.. but you got a rainbow!! 🌈👍 I enjoyed watching you explore.. its great joining up the dots by taking different routes up to different areas of Kinder isnt it? That Ashop Head ish route, we've done that in some terrible conditions and come down in the dark.. not again!! ☺️ Aww mate, so you had a bit of a rough night? Well, look at it as, you get them now and again, so you've got that out the way now and it means your next one will be an absolute corker! 👌 All the best Bri and see ya on't next 'un. ✨⛺✨💚
Hi Mats, thanks for another great comment, love to read all your comments mate. You're absolutely right regarding joining the dots with Kinder, I get a great sense of achievement as I become more familiar with it. I love the camps where I'm not too sure where exactly I will pitch, it just adds to the sense of adventure. I'm sure you will prove correct regarding the next camp being a corker! All the best to you and Donna 😀
I think you're right, I have just taken a look on Google Earth, it's the path that takes you up past Kinder Dam and juts off left up over the moor, past Carr Meadow and the path continues to the right of the A624 up Chunal, ending at the stile opposite Monks Road.
I did my very first Kinder wild camp at Edale Rocks, I pitched right by the path and didnt see anyone between 6pm and 7am. I nearly always head off from Edale, either up Jacons Ladder or more directly up The Nab or Grindslow. Im hoping to do Mad Womans Stones myself this week, so looking forward to your video of that. Good video once again, thank you! When you were up there, I was pitched almost at the very top of Grindslow, so you are probably on the sunset timelapse that I did!
Thanks Phil. I assume it was particularly busy due to the solstice. How was your camp? Looking forward to your video- on your superior Pocket 3 camera! I'm still saving to upgrade mine. I hope your camp at Mad Woman's Stones is epic mate 👍
@@Glossopwildcamp I'm still fighting with the pocket 3, operator error! Much better than phone camera but you need more care to use it. Might do seal stones instead... We shall see how climbing up grindsbrook goes!
@@PhilWaud Grindsbrook, ugh, not a fan personally, a real slog! Hopefully the Pocket 3 will be very similar to the 2 to use. Just stick it on auto everything and you will instantly get good results. Mine has a Pro mode, but it means adjusting it for every scene so I don't really bother with it.
@@Glossopwildcamp I love climbing the Nab, but then I need water so have to walk around to grindsbrook anyway. The issue with the osmo is framing, but I'm getting used to it and making it behave.
Great upload Brian, I'm a new subscriber and I'm enjoying all your videos.. Your 'Fallen World' is a great song mate and very well mixed and mastered. We have a lot in common, I live in Glossop, I'm Christian, I wild camp in all the same locations as you and I create music.. Hope to bump into you sometime when I'm out, keep it up fella!
Thanks very much, I'm delighted to read your comment and hear how much we have in common. The fact you are a believer as well makes me think we should meet up sometime?
@@Glossopwildcamp Yeah that would be great. I'll be at St James Church tomoz, 10:30 am start if you're up for it? Or even a Pint one evening this week or whenever suits you mate.. My personal is Ken btw.
@CanTheBass I'm visiting one of our old churches tomorrow morning, sadly it's the last service before they close 😢 but could meet Tuesday evening if that works? Bri.
@@CanTheBass I could grab a quick pint with you at 7.30pm on Wed, I'll need to leave by 8.15pm as I'm working on mixing the album with my mate. Wetherspoons ok?
Thank you, speaking of clints and grykes, I asked Tim whilst we were on this camp if he'd been to Malham Cove. The best limestone pavement I've ever seen.
Top video Bri with some great footage of the surroundings. I especially liked the Champion fuelled Grassy Knoll/Kennedy talk.🙂 That rock around the 27 min mark, me and Kev call it the Tiger Tank.👍 Also, I could be wrong but I think that you would be better off heading for Crookstone Knoll, rather than the 7 min crossing, for Mad Woman's Stones.
Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it, we do get through some subjects, Tim and I! Thanks for the heads up regarding Mad Womans Stones, I trust your advice completely mate 👍
@@Glossopwildcamp If you go up the Nab way to the plateau Bri, and then turn tight and follow the edge path towards Crookstone Knoll, you should see Mad Woman's Stones on your left, a few hundred yards from the main path.👍
Hey up guys! 🙋 Cracking vid, enjoyed this, even more so having met you on your way to it. And the weather did really cheer up once that last shower had passed.. we were saying it looked like you were in for a lovely evening. 👍 Thanks for the mention.. very kind. Oh, and i enjoyed the deep chat you both had at dusk.. i very much agree with what you were both saying! Again, lovely to meet you both and all the very best on your next adventures. ⛺💚
Thanks Mats, yeah it really did turn out great, the rain was actually very welcome as it sent me to sleep, it's a very cosy sound to me. It seems there's quite a few folks that are on the same page regarding our discussion, it makes me feel hopeful that people are waking up to these things! I really enjoyed our chat as well, I'm sure there is much we could talk about so I hope I see you out on a future hike 🙂
@@Glossopwildcamp Ah, only just seen this mate.. been up in the hills for two days! 👍 Sounds and looks like you had an amazing camp.. I relate to your love of it so much. And maybe, quite possibly likely, we'll see you again as our adventures cross paths again sometimes. 😊 All the best you guys. ⛺💚
Great video, was this camp from Friday just gone? I noticed the rainbow and we were up on Fairbrook Naze Friday camped up on the edges near the mushroom rock.
Yes it was, we noticed there were a couple of one man tents just a stone's throw from us. We might have inadvertently seen you, if so I'm sorry we didn't get to chat! Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks mate, glad you're still watching 🙂 Whiskey is expensive stuff so can't review every video, sadly. I think I'm going to get a taster pack, that will keep us going for the next few camps.
Nice camping guys 👍🏻 your spot on re: the dodgy goings on in the world, "solar geo engineering" and "stratospheric aerosol scattering" is happening, it's even being studied by Leeds university and harvard university, yet some people still won't believe it even when you show them the evidence. More fool them. Stay free ✊🏻
Thanks matey. Yeah, I thought you would appreciate our discussion, I know a lot more about these things but am trying to keep it fairly sanitised so as not to alienate my viewers! To be fair, there are quite a few comments on here from people who concur with our thoughts!
Great video, and absolutely nice hiking weather. Not too hot and not too cold! Beautiful scenery! As usual the banter was there as it always is with Tim 🤣🤣🤣🤣. You must have been up early to upload this one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Keep em coming!
Thank you, most gracious sir! We were very blessed with the weather in the end, it did rain all night, but I find that makes it cozier and actually helps me sleep. Atb. Bri.
