Campervan Guide to Broken Road Car Park ( Mam Tor Castleton)

[@topgroover]

Winnlats 😜Winnats pass stunning part of the world. I live near and have a camper van, but not stayed there yet. Think that needs to change soon.

[@davidlavelle1006]

15/20 minutes from where I live. Beautiful part of the world. Great video yet again....Winnats Pass btw ;)

[@Wizardinthewild]

Brilliant guys thanks for that. We love our wild (Campervan) camping and due to have a look at Mam Tor this week on our way to Scotland and the western Isles. But hoping for a couple of nights where you were. Unless it snows! thanks for the warning. Loved the bit at the beggining with the music. We try to make vids like that. Graham and Ellie 👍..just subscribed.

Winnats pass. I crawled up there many times in my Transit full of coloured cement products to use for my job. Happy New Year 🍷🍺🇬🇧👍

[@savedpurplecat]

haha thats brilliant

[@garimac7344]

Nice opening montage and music - I think you capture the joy of being outdoors together really well - Happy New Year to you!

I grew up in Chesterfield and spent my late teens and early 20's walking that area. My great grandfather even had a house built in Holymoorside with stone from Winnats Pass which he called 'the Winnats'. Lovely video.

[@savedpurplecat]

wow thats amazing, what history! thanks for your input Philip :) Tim/Mandy

[@AndrewBeavers]

Beautiful Tim a real intimate feel to the filming on this one & showcasing the area to it's stunning best.agree with what you say I love the lakes but the peaks are my first love,there's always that pull to get me back there if I've had a break from being up there..in winter too the area is absolutely stunning but can be so unforgiving & people don't give it the respect it requires,you can easily get into bother when the weather turns up there. All the best to you & Mandy & hope 2020 is filled with health & adventure..Andy.

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Andrew we love your films of this area they are an inspiration to everyone who wants to venture out. I know what you mean about this area being unforgiving in the wrong conditions, we got caught out early in the year on a walk, the winds picked up with some stinging hail, man it was brutal. I think people see this area as a bit of a playground compared to the lakes/scotland etc but I think its bite is worse than its bark if you know what I mean. Would love to do some stuff in the snow, but I need to get my fitness up. Please say hello to Chris if you ever get to bump into him :) Tim/Mandy

[@colinspeake..8889]

What a beautiful place!..It saddens me that having bought a bongo eight months ago and spending a small fortune on getting it up to scratch that me n Rhi have not yet toured in it!..A great video and wow what can we say but thank you and bless you for sharing 🤗

Thanks Colin hope you get out on a tour as soon as mate, does you the world of good :) Tim/Mandy

@@uptowndisco2 you won't believe the places I get to lol 👍👍👍👍👍

[@gerrymcveigh]

Tim & Mandy, what a beautiful place to keep going back to :-) Agree that there is something about revisiting to really get the most out of a place. Fantastic footage of your visits and a real sense of a wee community of people who share a common purpose in going to a beautiful place in their campervans. It even sounded like you secretly enjoyed those sub woofers and rave music ;-) Looking forward to more of your adventures in the year to come :-)

[@savedpurplecat]

Sorry for late reply Gerry been back in hospital again, they have found something that requires emergency operation, waiting for mri scan etc then a meeting to decide what to do, Thanks for watching buddy, get out in those hills for me brother :) Tim/Mandy

[@gerrymcveigh]

Take care Tim.

Ha, nice cameo from Rich in Edna. Great vid.:-) Atb Mike

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Mike yes we seemed to have ended up in the middle of a meet up lol, it was nice to see so many people out and the buzz of the bringing in the new year too, was Rich the chap with the landcover? :) Tim/Mandy

[@CampervanTales]

Happy new year to you both

[@GateKommand]

Good to see you back out mate, although I am only in Doncaster I have never yet been to Mam Tor! I have said for years that I intend to go ever since a fellow Radio Amateur friend went up with a handheld radio and managed to speak with a couple of us back in Donny. I have not walked for pleasure/leisure in years and keep threatening to, maybe 2020 will be the year? Either way once again it is good to see you both back on my computer screen once again :) I also sub to Bug Out Vehicles UK and noticed your quick interview with Rich, a bonus lol.

[@savedpurplecat]

Hello my brother, thanks for watching, I really hope you get out to do some walking this year, I will pray that God gives you the health to do that. Its a lovely area around mam tor and never gets boring, as the seasons change its new every morning. I didn't know you were into amateur radio ive always been fascinated by that. Rich seems to be a really genuine person I really enjoyed his van tour. once again my friend happy new year, health and strength to you :) Tim/Mandy

[@alanguthrie8415]

Very nice Tim and Mandy and all the best for the new year 2020 . Cheers Tim

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Alan and the very best ti you my friend :) Tim/Mandy

[@themusgroves1000]

Happy New year . glad you are getting out again. it was great to meet you Mandy sends her love. we have been to mam tor many more times this year and will see you there soon.still not started our channel.maybe soon Paul and Mandy. you tube stars lol

[@savedpurplecat]

Well well great to hear from you guys! was great to meet you and hopefully we will again soon, I'm in the middle of some hospital treatment but will be getting out whenever Im able. Happy new year to you both and happy camping for 2020 :) Tim/Mandy

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Funny, I have never been there, even though it is relatively close (we are in Durham) it seems very popular and looks very nice. We have only ever visited the Peak District once, for 4 days and it never stopped raining for one bloody second lol! We should go back, because, as you have proved, it does not rain all the time there and like I say, it does look very nice. I agree 100% with you on people jetting off all around the world, yet they has son many gorgeous places to visit where we are. I wish you both a Very Happy and Healthy New Year, cheers Alan

[@savedpurplecat]

Sorry for late reply Alan ive been in hospital on and off for six weeks, they have found something nasty that needs urgent attention, so I am on hold as I wait to find out what is going to happen. Appreciate your videos my brother can't write when in hospital but do watch :) Tim

[@AlanMETALMAN]

@@savedpurplecat - Real sorry to hear you have been unwell Tim and we are both sending our very best wishes to you. Take care buddy!

[@MUNROSnCORBETTS]

No wonder you & Mandy go there so much it looks a great wee place. A good point made here is that England is just not all about The Lake District. Lots of other beautiful places waiting for people to get out and find them. Happy new year Tim&Mandy and wee Jess, Best wishes for 2020 mate. PS hope yer feeling better Tim :))

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Peter we managed to get out for a couple of nights, back in hospital next Tuesday. Castleton is a wonderful area to explore lots of walks that you can do, some long some short all have lots of character. Happy new year my mate :) Tim/Mandy

[@CampervanTales]

We are planning on a weekend in the Goyt Valley soon. Would be good to meet up with you

[@savedpurplecat]

Yes drop us a line we will come along if we can :) Thanks for watching :) Tim/Mandt

[@AndyWardle]

Lovely stuff Tim. Great to see you pop up on here. Missed your adventures. Hope there’s many more to come. I want a camper van now. Although I’d probably pitch my tent outside it 😂. Hope you both had a good holiday period. Atb both 🥂

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Andy I think you will love a camper mate, opens up new horizons, but having said that I don't think it ever replaces that feeling of reaching a summit putting up your tent and having that first brew. Sadly my health this last year has really restricted me from doing those kind of things, Keep safe and have a great 2020 mate :) Tim/Mandy

[@AndyWardle]

savedpurplecat ahh man. Hope you’re health is improving Tim.

[@pshearduk]

Great to see you two back out, and to bump in to the Bug out crew too :) awesome! Hope 2020 brings you some new and wonderful adventures, take care, atb Paul.

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks Paul yes it was a bit of a surprise to end up in the middle of a meet up on New Years eve lol we went out for a quiet night lol but it was great to see so many enthusiastic folk in their vans and bug out trucks :) Tim/Mandy

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

Great to meet you at the meet up nye iam always up there currently parked at stannage edge for the night. What a fantastic vlog you caught the area amazingly in your vlog

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks, hopefully see you up there again sometime...do you own a transit van? if so do you know where I can get some cheap all weather tyres from for mine?

[@WyeExplorer]

Great vlog Tim. You met some interesting people - I liked that truck from the Bug Out guys. I doubt if it moves without any carbon footprint mind you. Yeah, a lovely place. The only time I've been to the Peak District is with the army for an exercise. I do remember being impressed though. Well, all the best for the new year. I hope you get strong. Mark

[@savedpurplecat]

How long were you in the army for Mark? I bet that was a huge part of making you into the person you are buddy and your love for the outdoors. The big overlander thing just looked like an adult tonka toy, very very cool, but I couldn't imagine driving that up to the west coast of Scotland. Anyway buddy have a wonderful new year full of peace and joy :)))) Tim/Mandy

[@WyeExplorer]

@@savedpurplecat I went into the Parachute Reg with Paul Tim. The dream was to come back to Hereford and do selection for the regiment and be like dad. It never worked out. 18 months but a good insight. Yeah a big cumbersome truck that. I'll do my best for the new year. If interested I have an interesting walk uploaded tomorrow. Peace to you and all. Still connected bro.

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

Always a pleasure seeing a 'Cat' video! I'm not familar with that part of the Peak. I've started exploring the area not far from you since my eldest moved to Mobberley which is not far from the White Peak. Shutlingsloe, Shining Tor, Axe Edge Moor etc...I'd probably be more inclined to tick off these places on a day visit rather than stay over as it looks so busy and not the best place to wild camp and have the place to yourself! I'm a bit of an Alfred Wainwright when it comes to crowds in the hills!

[@savedpurplecat]

Thanks for watching. Shutligsloe is a classic (The Matterhorn of Peak District) This is much closer to where we live. The roaches is also a belting area for walks, if your ever over this way and I'm fit give me a bell and I will meet up with you. Your right about broken road its getting more and more popular, 18 months ago there was about 3-5 max camping but now its getting a bit much. I don't mind other people around as long as they are not blasting out noise! Anyway happy new year :) Tim/Mandy

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

@@savedpurplecat Haven't been to the Roaches for years. I've climbed there a couple of times. I guess once you are around the Cat & Fiddle area then its not that far from there. I see the aforementioned pub is reopening as a whiskey distillery and pub. Or so I read somewhere. Its been closed for years now. Yes...It would be great to meet up this year. You are not that far from my eldest lad.

A gorgeous tapestry of footage, imagery and scenery - masterly edits, making permanent those memories, toped with a little of the quivering mountain and natures salt and pepper. The time-lapses too are epic. Would love a camper but maybe not the overlander variety! I quite like the T25... that is your current camper is it Tim? I don't think I have seen so many vans up there at Mam Tor. I always make a mental note of some possible wild camp spots but lately started to add campervan spots to the list along the way - so I must be destined to have one day. Well Tim, Hoping to see you winging to full health in 2020 and also see you & Mandy out again soon. God bless you both, Stephen.

[@savedpurplecat]

Hi Stephen thanks for watching brother, I really hope you get to use a camper van, I say use because nothing really belongs to us after all! we just acquire stuff along the way and then let it go again. We never thought we would ever own a van but lifes full of surprises, the good thing about a camper van is they tend to hold onto their value. The T25 is a great van, we had one but sadly it was completely written off by someone passing out at the wheel! we now have a transit LWB it suits our purposes. I still love to go out wild camping in a tent and am praying for the health this year to be able to do some more. Anyway my brother may God richly bless you this year, as you trust in him may he give you your hearts desire, press down shaken together and running over. :) Tim/Mandy

[@StephenTurnockMIRPCertRP]

@@savedpurplecat Sorry to hear about the T25 Tim. Hopefully, no one hurt there. I’ve caught up now on your camper journey /transit conversion and so glad to see you bounced back. You are right we are custodians of stuff for a short time down here while passing through. Pilgrims we are.. thank you for teaching me re Dr Luke! When you think of all the things we had and lost along the way but also given. But one thing to hold onto with both hands is Salvation. He is more holding onto to us, in my case anyway and with endless forgiving. Thankfully! Well, I ventured into a static caravan a couple of years ago. Whilst it was near the end of its life on-site, it was pristine but lost out more than 100% in value by the time of its removal from the site recently especially once crane removal & disconnection fees were taken into account. Don’t want to even think about the total site fees paid as well. Lessons learned. Campervans are much more appealing to me now. If I get one I will blame you lol. ! ATB, Stephen.

[@andy2box]

They are putting down double yellow lines up that road this year (2023).

[@rc5465]

Where is the carpark can tell me

[@johngrant5448]

It's so sad to see the state of the road today. Fifty years ago this village was wonderful, there was local people living here and it was a lovely peaceful village. I worked at the Nag's Head when it was a beautiful hotel. So many slobs or weekend wankers as I call them, turn up here and make it a shithole for two days a week.

[@mightywhitey3632]

Would love to stay here for a night,looks amazing. Would anyone be so kind to share how to find it/get to it? Been Mam tor 100s of times but still have no idea where this is lol

[@emayteetee73]

If you put ‘Blue John Cavern’ into sat. nav. it will take you down this road which loops around at it’s dead end. The start/end of the broken road is also here.
