Ah cadair did you return mad or a poet I'm still unsure x" A bit mad tbh. It’s worth it , photographs of sunset and sunrise on a pure white landscape and the frozen lake half way up are something else. I wore spikes and took an ice axe for safety as there’s some drop offs and it was dark, it’s quite a treck up and takes a while for your toes to get warm , you need a good down filled mat but highly recommend doing it once | |||

"Yes love the concept quite like the idea of stealth camping as well. Follow a few Youtubers who do it. " Who’s the guy Alistair someone , stealth adventurer ? He inspired me a few years back and I keep a 10k pack in the boot now always ready - waterproof bivi, Down bag and mat, jetboil, oats, powder milk , aero press, coffee, trail shoes , base layer, top layer , water bottle, chocolate .... the idea is impromptu solo stealth camping | |||

"There’s a place your way called Rosebury Topping we have wild camped. Also Luds Church, kinder ww2 crash sites, bleaklow Moor are all good spots: there’s also secret shooting lodge near Buxton with a guest book and supplies you need GPS to find it " Thank you, I’ll have a look. I’ve hiked Luds Church...it’s stunning. | |||

Another channel worth a look for stealth camping is Vagabond Holiday. Would not do what he does but great watching. | |||

I think my problem is cos I’m a trail / fell runner so so don’t do traditional boots and feet are often wet by the time I’m getting in the bivi. I like to stay light and agile max 10-15k on my back and light speed cross type footwear doesn’t always lead to a good nights sleep in winter | |||

"I love hiking. It's a long time since I wild camped though. I'd rather camp where there's a loo. Plus I don't like carrying all the kit. But hiking and camping somewhere remote is great. I've done the Y3P and N3P. Both are great." That’s why I got into “overlanding”  I don’t wanna carry everything. | |||

In summer you don’t need to carry much and just pee before you sleep. You can pack 7-8kg on your back for one nights camp | |||

I want to go on them organised weekend experiences so I can meet new people and learn about bush craft "The fave book groups are good for that there are wild camping and bush craft meet-ups and a spin off for singles. Just join the right ones based on your views on fire, they can be brutal .... | |||

"Yes, absolutely love setting up a tent somewhere especially next to a lake or river, love to swim in as many lakes or rivers as I can because I find it refreshing...

"Some great wild camps in the lakes, it's usually accepted to wold camp above 300m contour. There are plenty of qualified mountain guides that will guide and even run wild camping trips for clients. One of my favorite things to do... " The thing I love about wild camping though is to pick an area, then trek it and look out for potential places. I find if it’s too structured I’d hate it or had too many rules | |||

First time I solo camped on kinder scout I lay there all night terrified with an ice axe in my hands! every little sound you imagine is a serial killer up on the moor lol.
