Chrome Hill | Dragon's Back Peak District Wild Camp

[@djidroneadventures4059]

Hi again Shaun , I watched your recent walk at the roaches the other day and it inspired myself and my wife to walk it today. Just arrived back! Chrome hill looks amazing as well and as we are new to this part of the peaks we will definitely be back . Bet the camping out was great Cheers Craig

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Ahh Craig I love this!!! So glad I could help and you both had a good time. You’ll love Chrome Hill I have no doubt. I’m really glad I’ve been able to inspire you guys to get out there. Means a lot. Thanks

Wild camping is NOT ALLOWED on Chrome Hill

A great wildcamp. It's nice to have a Dad who is interested and shares in a passion. I remember coming down off Parkhouse Hill for the first time. I think my comment was 'oh god'. That shale slide down off Parkhouse Hill was definitely interesting. Thanks for sharing all this time ago.

100% - priceless times. Yeah the scramble from PH is really dodgy on the road side isn't it, especially when there's some mud or ice. One to avoid in those conditions!

[@LozsLeisure]

Looks epic! Thought I'd check this one out as it's where we're planning on heading tomorrow 🤙 so close 1k subs too mate, awesome!

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Cheers Laurence! Appreciate you stopping by - I can see you're close to the 40K (I've subbed!)! UNREAL work. I'll play catch up on your videos - are you going to film a vlog for your hike tomorrow? Hahaha 1000 sooooooon come onnnn!

[@LozsLeisure]

@@ShaunPettigrew my pleasure! Will have to check out some more of your vids too 😊 hoping to film and fly the drone for sure - probably won’t be edited until February though 😅

[@ShaunPettigrew]

@@LozsLeisure Yes mate I'll be taking out the DJI Mini 2 tomorrow - doing a Stanage Edge loop 10 miler! Hopefully we both get good weather! Let me know if you're in the Peaks regularly - can get a hike in!

Chrome hills is such a beautiful place. Very pleasing to watch and the view is so beautiful and relaxing and also looks so peaceful at the same time. Very great video continue to share nice videos

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Thank you!

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Great video. Stunning spot for a wild camp 🏕

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Thanks Rachel! Was class getting up there with my dad too!

[@gregcoleman7328]

Hi Shaun, another great video. I believe Chrome Hill itself is known as the Dragon’s Back. Parkhouse is so steep and you are right, any rain or ice and it becomes really sketchy! It’s a really nice area in that part of the Peaks and you have inspired me to check it out more fully. It must be possible to combine Chrome and Parkhouse with a longer route and more Peaks…. time to look at the OS app 👍

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Hi Greg, thanks for clarifying but I’m sure you get what I mean by Parkhouse also having that spine appearance. Yes there is a great loop from Longnor that takes you by both then back around. You can bag High Wheeldon too. Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Circular on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/trail/england/derbyshire/chrome-hill-and-parkhouse-circular Hopefully that loads for you.

[@gregcoleman7328]

Hi Shaun, yes there are a number of hills around there that could qualify for the title! They are certainly interesting shapes. I will check that route out for sure, thank you!

[@ShaunPettigrew]

You’re welcome!

[@LeonTruong5803]

Thankyou for sharing video

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Thanks mate

[@laffitteoutdoors]

Nice spot on top of the Hill. A little breeze would have been nice for y’all but worth it for the view!

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Hahaa I know we were blowing bu the time we got up there but as you say, worth it to be the only ones on the hill and spend some quality time with my dad etc

[@LeonTruong5803]

Nice video

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Thanks mate

[@MarkJenkins-t7y]

Hi did you get permission for this? I only ask as tempted to get up there for a night tomorrow. Great video by the way.

[@ShaunPettigrew]

I didn’t as I didn’t realise you had to but I did get called out on it on a comment below lol so be careful

[@MarkJenkins-t7y]

Not showing your reply for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MarkJenkins-t7y]

@@ShaunPettigrew yeah lots of moaners. As long as you don’t make a mess I don’t see the issue. And I don’t get why people would watch your vid just to complain. Thanks for the reply much appreciated Shaun.

[@ShaunPettigrew]

@@MarkJenkins-t7y I totally agree mate. As you can see we left no trace and it was a great way to experience the outdoors. People will moan at anything nowadays. Enjoy it mate!

[@MarkJenkins-t7y]

@@ShaunPettigrew will try our best looking at the weather 😂 the 🍄 might drag us through!

[@heatheretches5872]

Can't find my last comment!!!! WILD CAMPING IS NOT ALLOWED ON CHROME HILL IT IS A SSSI site

[@ShaunPettigrew]

Thanks for making me aware Heather. What is a SSSI site?

[@heatheretches5872]

@@ShaunPettigrew it is fair enough if people want to wild camp but you are supposed to ask land owners permission!!!! If that had been done then we could have explained this!!!!

[@ShaunPettigrew]

@@heatheretches5872 didn’t realise it was permission based but thanks for heads up. My motto is pitch late, leave early and leave no trace.
