Alport Castles Wild Bivvy Camp

Long hot walk up through Derwent Valley to Alport Castles in the Peak District with high exposed bivvy. Stunning views and great food of course

[@rayspoons5520]

So much better than normal TV !! You a legend !!!

Hi ray and thanks for kind comments makes it all worthwhile, all the best Pat

What Ray said ☺

[@danholliday5564]

I totally agree. Well done as usual Patrick. Great stuff.

[@Rameman33]

This just reminds you what a beautiful and scenically diverse country we live in Pat.Very enjoyable video.Regards,Andy.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Andy yes we have some great scenery and isolated moors up here and I dare say you have some beautiful coastal scenery in Cornwall, all the best pat

[@drubber007]

How could you dislike this...brilliant Patrick!! Love your enthusiasm. I've walked & photographed this area many times and now you've planted the seed to camp out up on the tower.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

drubber007 Hi it's a easy scramble up the tower but only a couple of areas to bivvy, not enough room for a tent, hope all goes well, Pat

[@drubber007]

Thanks Pat!

[@mattlast4093]

@21:14 , Pat, tucked around the corner of an outcrop, up god knows where, blowing a gale but some what sheltered, coooking up a storm !!........brilliant !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Matt, this was a amazing spot to camp, very atmospheric, all the best Pat

[@robchalk5633]

Smashing vid Patrick. I've often noticed it gets very windy at Alport Castles even when there's only a moderate westerly, once I was walking from Bleaklow on a windy day and really struggled to stay upright as I approached the edge at the castles. I think the brown colouration of the water is not caused by sediment, rather dissolved organic matter from the peat, hence it won't be removed by your Sawyer filter as the molecules will be chemically bonded to the water molecules. I've drank it from my Saywer mini many times and just tell myself it'll put hairs on me chest ☺

[@ginetteneale5101]

Pat, I have just watched your video about Alport Castle, it brings back many happy memories for me, I was employed by the National Trust in 1989 to do Species protection work up there, what a superb place, and a great video, thanks for the memories, you do a great job, good luck for the future.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi John, glad you enjoyed the video, and great it brought back memories of former days up there, still a amazing spot, all the best Pat

Hi Pete, I saw this location years ago, never dreamed I would sleep up there, but it came to reality.....and such a great night.... thanks Pat 👍

Pat , Another great trip . I went through many emotions on this video . Terror while you were a top and using the selfie stick , ( thank god your tethered ) thirst , When you had the drink of water , it felt good to me , I swear I was parched just watching , and extreme hunger watching you prepare and eating you amazing lunch or tea. The scenery speaks for its self . Thanks again , Dan out.

Hi Dan yes amazing place to bivvy once up there felt quite secure, I enjoy heights they give me a real buzz, the heat made me really thirsty, I was surprised how much liquid I needed 4 litres. Thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@davidberlanny3308]

Hi Pat, Some great photography there. For me the the best shots were from the boulder field as you could really understand the magnitude of the whole place, those boulders were enormous. Very enjoyable to watch. Good luck from Spain!! PS Great planning ahead with the water drop!!

[@fbshortfilms4126]

The opportunity for scrambling looks good there and the views look astounding. This is an area I haven't explored yet as it isn't easily accessible by train but I must explore it, because it looks amazing by the looks of it. Thank you for uploading this great, interesting video.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi yes a great area to explore, fantastic scenery . you can get out to Bamford by train but would be a 3-4 hour walk to the Castles, Ok if you are camping out. A car to Fairholmes visitor center and couple of hours would get you up to the Castles. Another way is to park on the Snake at Hagg farm entrance and you can then get up to Alport Castles and area in 1 hour. hope you get up there all the best Pat

[@andrewseadon8770]

Well done patrick Again another cracking video in another place I've not been too in a good while and never in such glorious sunny conditions . Never knew you could access the tower but after watching this maybe a future visit is on the cards . Keep up the great work pal looking forward too your next video already .

Hi Andrew yes dropped lucky with the sunny weather, a bit too hot in the daytime, never felt so thirsty. access is pretty simple more of a scramble up but take care at top as some vertical drops. thanks for comments and watching Pat

[@wildernessfreestylers7225]

The brownness in the water is due to high iron and calcium in the water and it filteres by using micro fibres in the core of the filter the water when filtered is most likely safe to drink great video just subscribed

Captured some stunning views and good weather always a bonus.. and that fog is unpredictable but adds to the anticipation when you awake. More than likely its windy up there - I think last time I was blown over a couple of times.. Also, must say, you cook up some great meals - that's part of the fun for me too.

Interesting video. You do get into some interesting and often inaccessible places to bring us something different. Well done. As for the brown water.

You should!...its an amazing rock tower with some impessive views, thanks Pat

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Brilliant video as always, and always something surprising and different I guess the brown discoloration in water is dissolved chemical that would need charcoal or such to absorb it rather than a filter. Awareness of safety first is a good thing for survival! I had never heard of that location and it looks amazing. Wind and mics is a nightmare. I just bought an external one to record sound separately so we'll see how that goes (I am going to make a windscreen for it shortly out of a pet toy squirrels tail!). Only used it for one video but an indoors one and it worked a treat. On weather, you often can't tell how things will turn out . My Beinn Ime trip got so much wind, hail and rain blasted at us that a lot of music was essential! I keep getting encouragement from your videos. All the best!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Terry yes other people have said its due to molecules of organic material sticking to the water molecules so filtering the discoloration out does not work, but the water is safe to drink that's the main thing. I was trying a different camera very small sony Rd 100 and covered the mic apertures up with stick on fur type mufflers, OK in light wind but did allow wind noise through when very windy, so its back to my DSLR with remote mic and big dead cat on the mic to get the good audio. To get the best audio and video it looks like I will have to take all my heavy film gear no easy answer. Thanks for your comments Terry much appreciated all the best Pat

Visit Britain should be employing you with all the quality promotion of the UK that you are doing. I'm going walking in the Chilterns this week because I was inspired by your videos and enthusiasm.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Paul Stevenson Hi Paul yes just need a long selfie, actually building a longer one at moment for new camping project coming up soon, all the best Pat

[@ChrisAuton]

Loved the "reveal" of where you were camping. I'm ready for my first bivvy rather than hammock wild camp and was thinking "I can get there, love walking around Ladybower!" Then saw the spot... maybe next time ;-) Not everyday you wake up in a cloud. Now making me think I want to wake up in a cloud and do a time lapse of it lifting. Not sure how or when I would even begin to do it, but thanks for the video's and inspiration again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Chris great time to get out bivvying as long as it stays dry and so many places to bivvy with a great view. I had this location on my list of places for a long time. I was hoping for a nice sunrise but waking up in a cloud added that something extra, thanks for comments and all the best for your next bivvy Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Bino, once yo have some a camp or bivvy near to home or on a campsite then you realize how easy and safe it is, then your confidence grows and you can enjoy more adventurous camps. Its worth it to get that feeling of adventure and a great way to spend you time, all the best Pat

Just discovered you Pat. Great videos, thanks.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks for that Barry appreciate your comments thanks Pat

[@conorwildadventures277]

Great views Pat. Looks like a stunning location. A cold beer would have been nice with that steak but I guess it was a tough climb without adding more weight! Looking forward to next video. All the best.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Conner, yes a cool beer would of been great as i was thirsty for ages having climbed up in the hot sun. On the lookout for new location to camp hopefully in August, thanks for watching Pat
