Healing good and planning trips with brandy a plenty, so all is good. We think we have it all covered, shelter, food, crafting skills - think I need to work on my ninja reflex and dexterity more! Thanks chaps :)

Last week I was in the orchard with a SAK, Firesteel, axe, fixed blade, saw, paracord - just playing and practising a few ideas for my next wild camp. Then it happened - I slipped on a rock, my ankle went over, there was a funny popping noise from it and I fell to the floor. Phone was back at...

If it falls through can I have second dibs please :)

Pleased you all had a top time fellas trip report and photos? :)

Have a good one chaps. Gonna miss you all this weekend �� Stay safe and keep warm ��

There isn't anyway to draw water, although I have boiled the water from stream before. Think there is a lot of iron ore though. You can park pretty close , so a few of those 5lt £1 hobbies from Asda maybe a good idea. The derwent is pretty fast flowing but does run through some pretty heavy...

Actually Ambergate is the closest station - sorry :)

Hiya, I wasn't picking anyone up - closest station is Whatstandwell. Dewi - I will email you a map :)

LOL! You will all be fine, Just stay away from the haunted house over the other side :) Yeah, I'll be good and I hope to be back up and about by the new year. All is good! Thanks

Hello all! I'm no longer going to be able to go on the weekender. I've got to go into hospital for an operation and am going to be out of action for some time. So, who wants to take lead on the weekend? If you all decide and PM me I will pass the email details for the people over at Shining...

Yep and it's superb. I've had couple of these and for the money you cannot go wrong. No condensation inside the bag and space at the bottom for spare clothes. I have quite a bit of Alpkit stuff and all of it gets top marks in my books

Lol! But addicted now! Really annoyed about the tarp though. Maybe I had it a bit close and the difference in temperature (radiated v ambient) - never had it before. I am def taking less kit each trip. Next trip Lake District in October (unless I manage to sneak out again before then!)

Managed to sneak off Friday afternoon to the Baslow area and checked out some of the "Edges". Its a brilliant area to wild camp as there are so many nooks, crannies and crumbling walls across the access land. Unlike Edale where you are likely to bump into a ranger, its pretty chilled and quite...

I can bring eggs - lots of em. Fresh from our chickens. Also, I will sort the bacon from the farmer - proper old school back bacon, each strip is about 3 ft long! I can bring filter papers for the coffee and small plastic filter holder, its a case of one cup at a time but works well. Or as...

Blimey! I thought it was wild camping not 90 minute make over LOL!

If its any help to people coming by train - closest station is Whatstandwell - 2 miles away from site.

I was thinking of getting there about lunchtime with it getting g dark about 330. Just to get a tent up and a lantern ready.

Im a teetotal vegan BTW who is allergic to the outdoors.... won't be a problem will it? :) (Nov 20 -22 indeed. Have emailed the organisers this morning)

Dewi (the strange!) - yep last and final place :)

Ok peeps - I have emailed them to say there are seven of us coming - just awaiting further instructions. I can send them cheque for the £70 and then you guys can sort me out when we meet. Burgers and sausage sound awesome. I was going to bring sausage, bacon and egg pie for us all and Remy...
