"BACK HOME"..FREEZING KINDER SCOUT WILDCAMP..WHAT DOES KINDER SCOUT MEAN TO ME!!

[@sheikhyaboooty]

I first stayed in Hope Valley back in 1972, I`ve camped in that area countless times since and like yourself a warm glow envelopes me as soon as I arrive. I`d like to think that my ashes will end up there one day.

[@seanhague60]

There's a word in Welsh, Hiraeth. There's no direct translation into English but it means something like a longing and nostalgia for a place. When you were talking about Kinder it reminded me of it.

[@Daydreameruk]

I get it, I fully get it. And it’s wonderful to have a ‘My place’ that’s golden.

[@frederickridall628]

I felt quite emotional Andy listening to your soliloquy, because I have similar feelings about various locations in the Dark Peak. One of my favourite pitches was Grinah Stones. I always felt perfectly at peace there and it breaks my heart I can no longer reach it. Wonderful video as always. Really enjoy watching your content. Take care.

[@markkendall9167]

I think that those of us who enjoy the outdoors can understand that sense of place and home that somewhere like Kinder can make you feel. You've walked every nook and cranny of it and it makes it feel like it is yours (especially when no-one else is there at 6 in the morning). 👍

[@jeffstevens763]

There are no words that can explain that feeling for a place,mine is the west coast of Scotland my adventures are by small inflatable boat wild camping it started by scuba diving which then turned into commercial diving for a living for thirty years too old to dive brought me to inflatable boat camping and at 70 this month I love it get on a deserted island with your mate nowt better👍

At the risk of repetition, this channel deserves far more subscribers, an additional zero on the end for starters .

Compelling to watch 👏👏

Passionate, that’s what shines through. Love that passion it burns inside and grows, never lose that . Not many with have that , I’ve carried it too now 62 years of age I still have that burning inside me . Same story really started out in Edale every weekend back in the mid 70s , such a wonderful place and very lucky to have it on our doorstep. Keep the fire burning, love the passion.

Cracking video Andy, especially the part where you opened up about your reasons for liking Kinder. Genuine and not pink crystal whatsoever. 🙂 Although you've told me that story before, I think that it was great that you told it on video, as I reckon that stuff like that will inspire people to try wild camping, which is a good thing in my books.👍

[@AndrewBeavers]

cheers steve..pink crystal 😂 ill have that kev next time i see him lol..shame the next generation of kids wont have such stories to tell steve about how they were introduced to the outdoors as kids & found a homing feel to it.

[@pauljones5066]

Funnily enough our science teacher at Wombwell High School Mr Smith inspired a few of us (to this day) by taking us to the Peaks and Dales when were were in 4th and 5th year. Before that, I remember camping at the Information Centre at Edale with 2 of my mates in the Autumn half term holiday in October 1983, when were were in 3rd year at high school. We caught the train over from Wombwell. In those days there we no phones. I told my mother, she wasn't too bothered, and I reappeared a week later without any questions. The way it was in those days, which seems like a different world now.

[@AndrewBeavers]

youre quite right paul no phones back then & the teachers were just trusted to look after us kids eh..shame its not like that now days its a whole different world we live in now.

[@pauljones5066]

I remember the same teacher taking us potholing in the Dales, no helmets, minimal ropes and torches, no permission or form filling. He just thought that we'd be fine, and we were. He'd get shot today if he did the same!!!

[@SuperCragster]

It's a special place for sure. I was there Sunday night and wasn't a soul up there. It was so nice and good for my soul.

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

It’s a wonderful place Andrew, thank you for sharing the route with me, we had a blast on our 1st time up there and the following video is performing fantastic for me so a double win, great video again and thanks for sharing the experience ATB Craig

[@andypotts8062]

Excellent video . I know what you mean by saying 'back home'. When me and my brother were 6 and 4 our dad took us to a couple of places in the Mourne Mountains. We walked trails and our dad made us soup...great times...59 years later those places are special to me, I keep going back. An excellent pitch for you very cold but great views. Many thanks and best wishes.

Great vid mate. I have only been going up to Kinder since last April (6 times now) but it is a magical place & I get the attraction. Keep up the good work. KR Simon

Cheers Andy for sharing some of your memories about kinder 👊👍🥃

[@Mark.James.]

Following you for years Andy, and we finally get the Origin Story. Great video

[@waynerogers8675]

I understand everything you said about coming home to kinder scout , Just like you I was always intrigued by it I remember being taken there by my parents but not up onto the plateau And wondering what it must be like up there, I remember my first time getting to the top on my own and what a wonderful feeling it was, After that I did the same thing going up kinder from all the cloughs , On all sides ,walking the full circuit loads of times , Crossing the plateau loads of different ways , I think it was up there I really got to grips with map and compass work, And after that I took my children up And showed them , And then as you get older it was my children and their girlfriends , And we still go Again And again , And it’s never the same Always new and fresh , I suppose it started with it being the highest and most intriguing place in the peaks for me as a young child with my parents , And then it became mine And my children’s And hopefully their children’s aswell So I totally get what you said , I feel it too Kinder feels like home And it’s part of our family 👍👌

[@carolfitton2007]

Andy, I know what you mean you explained it well. Superb video Andy keep them coming. 👍

[@fellrunningguide]

Great story Andy. Good old "old school" attitude to education!

[@maurice5992]

Lovely film Andy, it's so hard to describe a feeling but I know exactly what you mean. That whole area around Edale and Kinder has a rugged beauty the equal of anywhere in the country in my opinion. If it had a lake, poets would write sonnets about it!!

[@allye5949]

People are fortunate in life to find their passion and to be able to indulge in that passion. Thank you for sharing your passion with those of us particularly who can’t indulge in the same way. Much appreciated. As soon as I started watching your videos I looked up a map of the Kinder Scout area so I could follow your walks and now I am starting to recognise places. It will feel like home to me soon too 😉

[@colincraddock4432]

Thank you Andrew a brilliant video and thank you for sharing your memories of your first camps with your teacher. We have several teachers in the family and found your account very moving.

[@thewanderingforester]

I get where you're coming from about your passion for Kinder. It comes shining through in your videos. Well explained in this one. I've spent a lifetime in the hills of Wales and the Lake District but only been to the Peak District twice, must put that right. Thanks for sharing, ATB, Roger

[@buxtonmick]

Exactly the same as me Andy, out with the school rambling group with a couple of teachers when I was 12. Like you I’ll never forget that first stop for dinner, Ashop Clough cabin, gobsmacked by the place. I’m still traipsing around there 54 years later.

[@AndrewBeavers]

seems a lot of us have old teachers to thank for more than just educating us eh..i hope im still kicking around up there for a long time yet.

[@milesfromanywhere.]

Back home, I get the same feeling when I’m camping in the Cheviots, it’s a warm feeling, hard to explain. Nice area that, I’ve not really touched but it’s definitely on my list. Love the set up your using, shelter looks great. Nice vid Andy, cheers Dave 👍

[@steveostler]

Nice video. My first visit to the Peak District as a teenager in the 70s was with my geography teacher on a school trip. It made an impression on me too and I’ve been hundreds of times over the years. It’s great when teachers ignite a passion.

[@AndrewBeavers]

lovely to be reading these comments & how many can thank our teachers for showing us such places..shame it doesnt happen in todays world.

I think you got it out beautifully Andy. I share the exact same love and pull to Kinder as you know, I am quite happy wondering about for hours up there too, so much so even a day hike needs a head torch to get back down 😂 🌒 I am feeling the pull and I’m Sure that my next camp will be ont’ plateau. The beauty about wild camping, go wherever takes ya fancy. Fancying myself a trailstar aswell, glad you got her back out again, love the Chinook but I think I love this one better ❤ATB, Sarah

[@AndrewBeavers]

thanks sarah & its great to see youre passion for the place too..its a strange thing aint it how a big old barron lump of a plateau has such an attachment for the likes of us..

[@WildernessWondersTV1]

"The colors in this video are so vibrant."

[@glenwhite4494]

Another cracking video Andy. I really enjoyed it. I totally get how you feel about your special place and the bolt of lightening moment you experienced as child with your shool teacher.Similar to you i've got Mr Chappel my science teacher at secondry school to thank for my introduction to the great outdoors. He organised a group of us to do the Lyke Wake Walk. " Get your mum and dad to buy you a decent pair of walking boots, make sure you bed them in beforehand,and invest in a Peter Storm rain jacket!" were his words of advice. A rubber lined jacket! Jesus cutting edge or what? What amazed me about the experience was that we walked through the night, saw the sun set and rise, and above all else the fact that we were not the only daft buggers up there. " Evening! Nice night !" I can still hear Mr Chappel warmly greeting passers by and parties walking towards us doing the route in reverse. Also similar to you the seeds planted on that trip lay dormant untill they germinated in my early twenties kickstarted with a workmate recommending me John Merrill's Long Circular Walks in the Peak District. As a group of mates and i trod the routes described by Merrill we never really looked back. A challenging days walking quickly took precidence over a night on the piss. Anyway i'm waffling on and preaching to the converted. Keep on trekking bud. You're living the dream!

[@AndrewBeavers]

lovely glen its great to hear other peoples stories..folk around my age & no doubt beyond there's always a background of it started at school with a certain teacher..if only that was encouraged now days instead of all this computer gaming etc..

[@lukedawes9816]

Great video Andy, I'm from Sheffield and get out to kinder when I can, I was wandering well off the path a few years ago and came across a superb camping spot dug into the hill, 3 sides covered you from the weather and the other is an amazing view, I never told anyone about it abd always wondered did anyone else know, I used to leave things like a tent peg stuck in the middle of where you'd put your tent to see if it had been moved for the next time I went, the last time I went was new years eve and there was a callopsed euro hike tent there with a wet monopoly board inside, I was gutted, the site felt dirty and I had to leave the tent as it was to much to take down

[@AngiefromthesparklingRiver]

Thank you so much! I love to hear your storys! 👍

[@Olan...]

Its been great to hear your thoughts and i totally get where you are coming from here Andy.....i know that you said it was your old school teacher that first took you up on Kinder but i think like me you have come to understand that Kinder itself is like a Teacher itself, you have grown from it both physically and mentally and its become a very good old friend, its where you cut your teeth with the great outdoors and you obviously respect it and feel like you owe it as do i. This is something that i very often consider , its been 50 years since i first camped there and i have travelled and climbed all over the world and been to some very impressive areas that dwarf the Peaks but i am a granddad now and much slower and wiser than i was when i was 12 years old but the amazing thing is that i notice and appreciate a lot more these days. Kinder should never be underestimated because it can truly put up a challenging fight ....you will never tire of this fanatastic place .

[@AndrewBeavers]

great words Olan & quite right too..the place does constantly teach you new things as its constantly changing with the seasons etc & thats one thing i never take for granted is how brutal the place can be when it decides.. ill never tire of the place & like weve both said infact quite a few in the comments like an old friend..

[@Olan...]

Cheers Andy, i just watched your Lakes video and i had the exact same conditions coming off Kinder on Thursday morning with a bitter Easterly wind and i had to done the sunglasses to protect my eyes. I camped at the exact same place that your mate Paul did his last video and i took off 2 tea fresh tea bags and a chocolate wrapper ( not saying they were his but i am surprised he didn't see them )@@AndrewBeavers

[@AndrewBeavers]

@Olan... that don't sound good it is a popular spot but that's literally a couple nights after he was there..one thing thats a massive issue for me is folk leaving rubbish there's just no excuse for it..

[@Olan...]

I am exactly the same and i dont mind being at risk of offending anyone i see camping to remind them not to leave any rubbish. We all have to do our bit to prevent it as best we can and spread the word to the clueless. In the Climbing community they have Crag Clean Up days and it would be a really good idea if we had say 4 days per year where everyone came together and did a hike and clean up day splitting into various groups on different route and maybe had a meet up at the end of the day . My working life doesn't lend itself to be an ambassador of such a group but maybe there is someone who is retired that this would appeal to or even someone from Derbyshire council or some other body.@@AndrewBeavers

[@gazbesford]

Nice one, I only know the place from your films, been up twice now, many more to follow,

[@Darrenfive0]

Totally get where you’re coming from Andy. Kinder has a very similar affect on me it’s always been my favourite mountain I think maybe because I deliberated on wild camping for so long but when I finally plucked up the courage it was Kinder I headed for. Mermaids pool in fact. Great video as always 👍

[@juliel3019]

Great video again Andy. I completely get your sentiments. I’m 64 now but as a child our family walked many times in the Peak District…we had great days and made many memories ❤

[@ireneboston7953]

Superb video as always, Andy, and I know exactly what you mean and I too would struggle to articulate it... but it's almost like a place that allows the soul to 'settle' maybe, to feel at home. I don't know if you've ever read any Jim Crumley books? He has a knack of word pictures, of conveying a sense of place in a very evocative way. And I think whatever area you first explore and enjoy when you discover the hills or just the joy of walking will always remain special and through life, even if other places come to mean a lot, there's always something about the area you first explored. For me it's the Lakes - I used to come up from London where I worked as often as I could, mostly to east Cumbria as it was easier to get to, and a weekend's backpacking around there would sort my head out, if you see what I mean. Now, my 'home' feels like Scotland and Mull in particular but i will never lose the love of the Lakes and continue to explore as often as I can. One thing else you mentioned which struck me, about your favourite bit of Kinder and the history of it - would you do a video for there one day? It would be grand to see it.

[@stevenjohnson2465]

I think we can all agree , there is something special about the place and surrounding areas..they obviously felt this magnetism thousands of years back too , alot of ancient history for sure. Ive seen the faces of those who stand on top for the very first time and look around , see the sunset or sunrise....Its got them , just like that , theyre overwhelmed... addicted. Thanks for the video and the memories Andy. 👍👍

[@philjones3335]

I cut my teeth in Lake District with my Dad, my parents actually met each other in the rambling club, both very keen walkers, in my early teens my Dad introduced me to all the wonderful hills of the Lakes, i recently watched a video of striding edge and thought back to me and my Dad when i was about 14 doing it!. I thank my Dad dearly r i p for introducing me to hiking. Wild camping though has only recently come into my life, and i can’t for the life of me think why i didn’t do it years ago but still, here i am, and my introduction to the Peak District was while working on a big house renovation opposite Dovestones res, fell in love with the place and my first wild camp was woolpacks, been back to same spot many a time. Thanks Andy for sharing your thoughts and memories, always nice to get a bit of background to people i think, i was out on Tuesday too over at crowstones and very windy it was too, and frosty but a beautiful sunset and sunrise so all good. Atb, Phil

Only been up Kinder once. Scrambled up to the left of the downfall. Definitely an awesome area. Loved hearing your back story of the love you have for the place. And the hobby. My coming home place is the Lakes, specifically the Helvellyn area although there much of the Lakes that I feel like that with. Pity I live 300 miles away ( at the moment 😅) ..

[@life-outdoors]

I don't think your love of the area has grown over the years, it was set with the positive memories and experiences when young. You are just enhancing your memories. What a shame that teachers can't do that anymore. So many kids have missed out. My grandfather was living just north of the dam wall at Derwent and gran until her house was demolished for Ladybower, so I've been dragged there from a young age. I've now been walking in the Peaks for around 45 years regularly. Now hiking on my own but still take my dad there to view points. Great video. Thanks.

[@AndrewBeavers]

thats great & youre right its such a shame teachers cant do this type of thing no more with the world as it is..thats fascinating to me that youre gran lived in the old village i often stand at the top end when the res is low & the footings etc are revealed & wonder how it would have looked & the folk that lived there.

[@life-outdoors]

Yes. I think the church at Bamford is very similar to Derwent Church. Quite fitting as they were moved to Bamford graveyard. My grandfather and Gt grandparents lived at Hollin Clough Farm. At low water levels, the horse trough is still outside the farm and next to the door.

[@mrjiggs3761]

From what I've read, you can sleep better in a tent as you aren't surrounded by electromagnetic radiation as much from the electrics in your house, and all the appliances, and the internet. Also you do grounding when camping which helps release the static electricity that builds up in the bod!

[@AndrewBeavers]
