A Coastal Wild Camp (near to) Robin Hood's Bay

The two tents over looking the sea...
This was a quick wild camp, if there is such a thing. We had the destination, and it didnt involve much walking. As a result, there isn't much of a story to tell other than the pictures here and the fact that, while a humble camp - it was an amazing one...

Group camp in the Ogwen Valley...

Our group pitch at Gwern Gof Isaf campsite, in the Ogwen Valley.
It has been a couple of weeks since I returned from Snowdonia, and the first meet of the 'Hiking and Camping for UK Adventurers" group on Facebook. True to form, I haven't had much time to do any form of write-up. So this post will consist mainly of pictures from what was a great weekend...

The Old Man of Coniston Walk and Levers Water Wild Camp

Looking towards The Old Man of Coniston.
Given how busy I have been of late, and this last weekend's trip to Snowdonia, I have not managed to write up a full entry for my trip to the Lake district. I regret not having tried harder as soon as I had returned, but I do have photographs that I would like to put here. This post will contain those photo's and so I hope that they are an adequate marker of how great a weekend this one was...

Another outing in The Lake District, and another wild camp in the Karrimor Elite Ridge 2

Great view from the descent of The Old Man of Coniston
I haven't had much time to get a write up done from my last wander and wild camp with my friend Wayne, which actually took place on the 5th and 6th of April. Here is one photograph that I took, looking towards where our eventual wild camp pitch was. On this particular weekend, I also met with one of my Facebook friends, Scott; whom it was a pleasure to walk with. I will upload a full write up in due time, but for now - the above photo was my favourite view from the weekend.

Wild camping near Kinder Low; The second test for Karrimor Elite Ridge 2.

Over looking Kinder Reservoir from the Karrimor Elite Ridge 2 tent.
Saturday the 1st of March, and it was back to the Peak District for another wild camp. This time I was again using my Karrimor Elite Ridge 2, and again Wayne Sanderson accompanied me along with his friend Dan. I forgot to bring my dslr for this trip, and so only have a couple of shots from my mobile phone...

How I organise my rucksack for wild camping...


After having packed my rucksack in preperation for a wild camp, that I then had to abandon before setting off, I thought I'd do a video to show how I organise my gear in my rucksack.

Changing to gas...

I have tinkered with my cooking set-up. Decided that a gas stove may be a better choice for me at the minute. Have a watch?
