Failed Kinder Scout wild camp. Snow, strong winds, rain and fog. 

Ian,you're lucky to have a partner that shares your outdoor pursuits.Mine likes shopping & a comfy bed..hence me writing this on the sofa😉

That was a lovely hike and what a great view from your camping spot. Nice warm meal to heat you up too. New subscribers here. Happy new year 👍

You were wise to cut the journey short. I sprained my ankle badly up there some years ago. The problem with Grindsbrook at that time of year is that there is ice on the rocks and they become very slippery. Enjoyable video!

Great video thanks, have a great new year 🎉🍻

I bloody love you two, can’t away to be away with the Hills this year for our adventures 😍

Great little video, well done for getting out. Just like all us wild campers you start off heavy and then get lighter, I would recommend you write a kit list if you don’t already, but then when you get home assess what you used and what you didn’t, with regards to water filtering I would definitely go with the katadyn be free, lightweight and compact, I went for 3L as you can then just filter into a clean bladder and have enough for the entire camp. I would strongly recommend getting a simple map app for your I use outdoor active but also carry a gps device.route planning in winter is so important you were right to turn back, always better than ploughing on and getting into trouble, winter camping is a lot harder for all these reasons, summer camping is far easier, I would also suggest you find a less popular hill than kinder or you are not likely to not encounter others. Last tip, if you look at my vids I treated myself to a small water bottle, essential item for winter camps. Sending you a like and a sub, would be great if you could do the same, well done for getting out ❤👍

Here's a tip for having warm feet on cold mornings when camping. Take a couple of hand warmers, put them into the socks you have had on during the day, and then stuff the socks into your boots. This will both keep your boots from frosting up and dry out your sweaty socks overnight.

Enjoyable video guys. I've subscribed too.

Nice honest video, I was on kinder that night not a million miles away from you, I went up what is called grindslow knoll, easier than grindsbrook but still quite steep. Where the nags head pub is there is a sign post for the penine way, go up there and it's sign posted from there. Keep up the good work guys♥️

😂😂You two are as mad as a box of frogs, compelling viewing.Looking forward to the next instalment.Thank you

Well done guys Correct decision not carrying on. Better safe than sorry. Always another time to try next year. Great video as usual. Happy New year when it comes , take care guys

Fantastic.

Good vid, thanks.

The better route to kinder is up jacobs ladder, I have done the route you bailed with a day pack and the last part was on lands and knees, dangerous with full pack, right call to bail.

It looks like to attempted to ascend via Grindsbrook Clough, the final part of which is a proper scramble. From Edale, you would find it easier ascending onto Kinder via Ringing Roger. Or you could park at Barber Booth and ascend via Jacobs Ladder. Both routes would avoid the need for scrambling, although it is obviously still quite an ascent!. Well done for giving it a go though!

at last another couple who take on a chalenge together we have use tent in storms caravan in storms work van in yep you guessed storms flambrough coast is a great place to wake up in a storm 2am lol but better with a partner

Which water bottle you need would depend if you like to glug water or suck. The Grayl Geopress can hold 750ml and is great if you wanna tip water down your neck or decant water into another bottle to add powder etc. Not cheap and not the lightest but filters nearly everything. Another one to consider would be the Lifestraw cheaper and lighter but you have to suck the water through the filter.

Ive know it snow up there in May ! Good decision not to press on if you are not comfortable with how things are going, the hill will still be there for next time.

I'm a newbie in my 50s got gear but not found courage to do my first solo mind I got poles didn't think I'd use but watching there needed on bad terrain,I looked at water filters but just don't no if I'd dare drink stinking water even once purified I'd think myself into a major bout of the shitttts anyway so il just take my water for now I got the jacket 3 but it's huge to pack and bit heavy so got msr exilir 2 ,not used either yet mind it's never ending stuff u can buy and need on my 2023 list is get out and do my first great vid new subscriber ATB,david

Crookstone Hill on the Eastern side is a much easier route onto Kinder.

Hi guys Was that jolly Rogers or whatever called? That is tough by sounds of it. You did well to stop in that weather and find somewhere nice for the night

Good

Which way did you attempt? Jacobs ladder is probably the easiest way up.

Where did you set of from Guys

we use a Sawyer Squeeze mini for filtering . thelangsettwanderer
