Kinder Scout Wild Camp ~ I’ve missed you!

[@nitsujnagorb7691]

Brilliant video , as always Sarah ! The microphone muffler works really well , adding to the pleasure of watching your walks and camps👍👍. Looking forward to the next one already !

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@nitsujnagorb7691 I was really happy with the results! See you on the next one 😊✨

[@Roblovesbushcraft]

Just got back from the OMM in Scotland a broken man so recovering this Monday morning. The x mid is simply brilliant in all respects. Roomy, two porches, non saggy, lightweight and can handle extreme weather no problem at all. In fact its become my all year round shelter now, even in snow with ground anchors and snow stakes. You cannot beat those eastern stakes for good anchoring. Another cracking video from a very lovely lady.

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@Roblovesbushcraft I am very pleased to hear that you share the same appreciation for the Xmid. I’ve really enjoyed camping in my (Diana)! Something quite satisfying about pushing up those poles and seeing it suddenly take shape. A lot of tent for the money with hardly any weight. Happy resting from the OMM! 💪🏻

[@GoneWildCamping892]

You all seemed to be having a great time 👍. I want my money back though, Kinder Tea has done nothing for my complexion 😂😂. I agree that it's a great feeling being shut off from the elements inside my tent. PS I also copied your double pegging modification. That's two I owe 😊

[@Andrewausfa]

Lovely film Sarah. I've never been up Kinder, long old drive for me to get soaked!

[@SoloSarahBX]

It’s just epic up there when the weather is in our favour. I walked it la perimeter 18.5 miles and had the best weather. It’s pot luck 🍀 equally invigorating in the rain and wind 😅

[@MikeHarlyn-lh9jo]

I think we got a glimpse of ten year old Sarah singing on that rock. Glad you had a wonderful birthday.

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@MikeHarlyn-lh9jo you certainly did ☺️🌟

[@chrisdruryno1]

Nice one Sarah. Kinder is a great place for wild camping. Great to see Diana keeping you nice and warm and out of the wind. I have the same tent and love it. I like your burner and mug...might have to get one myself. I'm enjoying your vids :)

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@chrisdruryno1 hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching, yes my burner is fantastic and simple, just the way I like it. The cup was a present, insulated with a lid, just perfect for colder months 😊

[@JohnnyCurle]

Looked like a fun time. Keep up the good vibes.

[@SoloSarahBX]

Thanks for watching 😊 definitely some good vibes on this trip 👌🏻

[@songasport]

I enjoyed that, thanks Sarah. The muffler has definitely helped!

[@philmbridges]

Thanks for another great video!

[@michaelblack9813]

Enjoyed the video Sarah. Thanks.

[@SoloSarahBX]

Thank you for watching 😊✨

[@louise_onanadventure]

Enjoyed this, Sarah. Cracking spot too!

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@louise_onanadventure hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching Louise 😊 was a great spot, I’d definitely revisit and pray for clear skies 🙏🏻

[@HikingForHealth1]

Great camp Sarah, in whatever the weather eh! If it was a perfect sunrise every time it wouldn’t make them special when they happen. Glad the mic worked well for you and thanks for the shout out. All the best, Gav.

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@HikingForHealth1 hey Gav, yes it was very different for me joining friends but very enjoyable. The feelings of having companions by my side provided some Comfort and security in addition to that which I get from filming. I know it’s just a phone but to me it’s everyone who clicks on play 😊 the muffler worked really well until the rains came! It’s time For me to invest in an action camera 🎥 😝

[@HikingForHealth1]

@ heard that the DJI is supposed to be superior to the Go Pro if that’s any help. 👍🏻

[@annbuckle5880]

What a lovely time you and your friends had, I did laugh when you got on the rock with your sleeping bag as a wind tunnel 😊. This time of year is lovely what with the leaves all changing colour and crunching on the ground the year has yet again rushed by

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@annbuckle5880 I don’t even know what possessed me to use my sleeping bag as a wind sock? Maybe my inner child and to celebrate the crazy up there is a good enough answer 😂 I always like to make my own entertainment and never take myself too seriously when I’m Out having fun…the year has certainly rushed by Ann, it’s a time to slow down a little and appreciate these shorter autumn days 🙏🏻 🍂

[@hikermikem8]

👍😁👍 Hiya Sarah.. That gave me flashbacks of my windy wet wildcamp with my X-Mid up on dartmoor a month ago 😁 Good little pitch up near Grindsbrook with that great view of the Ridge accross the Vale of Edale 👍👍 Perfect upgrades for your dianna double tie out points on the 4 corners, as mine pulled through in 30-40mph guts so it's good to see yours worked a treat 😁 one thing about this time of year, you get to spend more time in our tents due to the longer nights, which I don't mind at all 😁 great video and takecare Sarah 😁

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@hikermikem8 hey 👋🏻 yes those longer nights in the tent 🥰 the first thing I did after that hot drink was get warm in the bag and nap for 3 hrs! Time Went very quickly when I was chatting away…but also as I slept so well. It’s a shame the weather wasn’t as pleasant as it was today. I’ve seen the beauty of the vale of Edale on my perimeter walk earlier in the year. One day I’ll wake up to it with a clear view again and hopefully some Nic weather for your next camp too 😊

[@hikermikem8]

@SoloSarahBX Almost always wakeup on Kinder clagged in, proberbly 3 out 5 camps.. Can't beat opening up the tent on a clear morning whilst the sun comes up with a brew in your hand after a good long sleep.. During summer I'm lucky if I get 2-3hrs kip before the sun rises up again at 4am 😁 I'll be doing them mods to my xmid Sarah with 2.5mm guyline rope , then hopefully if I'm caught out again in really bad winds mine won't loosen and the fabric flap about alnight 😁 Bring on them still clear frosty mornings, even snow 😁👍 As it happens, I'm actually picking up another tent in the morning to try out this weekend. Not a Durston but a Firemaple 2p 3-4 season in autumn gold.. can never have to many tents 🤣😁 Have a great weekend if your not working.. 😁

[@nathansr001]

Nice to see you happy camping. I think dad took me to Kinder when I was a kid. Apparrently it was too wintery and we ended up abandoning camp and drinking some chicken cup of soup from a local drinks machine. I'm glad I don't remember it 🤣

[@SoloSarahBX]

Ha ha! Yes that sounds like Kinder to me. A warm retreat with soup is always inviting whether that’s in a tent or back at home! I’ve abandoned a kinder camp for a hot bath and soup before myself!

[@Dore60]

Looks like a good time was had by you all. Thanks Sarah 👍

[@SoloSarahBX]

You bet! 😊⛺️⛺️

[@thewanderingforester]

Lovely video again. I'm pretty sure your friends were on the pitch I used for my first (and only so far) Kinder camp. Having mates with you does change the vibe in a good way, but I do love camping solo for the relaxation and reset. Just had a night in the wind, rain and clag myself and as you said, felt cosy and safe in the tent. ATB, Roger

[@SoloSarahBX]

Ahhh excellent, yes it has a fair bit of shelter that spot and uprising flat, large grassy area suitable for a 2 person tent, I took one for the team by the rocks getting battered by the prevailing winds but it’s good to put the tent in some more challenging conditions sometimes. I have really enjoyed camping with my pals, it was great to catch up. I will also enjoy continued solo adventures for the very reason you do too Roger, they are priceless recharging trips 👋🏻I’ll be sure to watch your video tonight 😊

[@mrjiggs3761]

My monday morning consisted of me sketching out a halloween shop run by a ghost selling witches broomsticks and a skeleton couple walking past waving at the ghost in the shop :D I know where I'd rather be though! :D. Nice little camp with friends Sarah :)

[@SoloSarahBX]

Hey Mr Jiggs 🙌🏻 I bet it’s a wonderful piece you’ve created as usual. I’d love to see some of your Kinder art work 😉

[@mrjiggs3761]

@@SoloSarahBX If I ever get a minute from my bread and butter work (kids books etc), which isn't often, Ill go for a wander up Kinder, take some pics and look for good things to illustrate. Rock formations are my thing really, and theres plenty of them up there! :D

[@johnhayward4276]

I am 71 have arthritis of knees. I wish I could hike. But I love your videos. I feel like I am out there with you ❤

[@SoloSarahBX]

That’s perfect 👌🏻 and definitely motivates me to make videos for folk that aren’t able to get to see what I do. I’m sure I will be thanking someone in the same way in years to come too. ATB, Sarah

[@frederickridall628]

Feel for you my friend. I'm coming up to 70 and have osteoarthritis in my knees. It hasn't stopped me completely yet but the writing is on the wall I fear.

[@gberish602]

Hi Sarah, Seems ages, nice to see you back up in the hills and this time with a couple of fairly anonymous mates. As you say it changes the dynamic of the camp just knowing there's some friendly faces close by. Think I've said before I'd love to find a group that travel up together and then pitch a distance apart so you have the views, the feeling of isolation but knowing company is at hand. Shame you didn't get better weather, but that's the real world and that's life in the words of Led Zeppelin "upon us all a little rain must fall". Anyway I hope your friends weren't put off. The mike cover made a world of difference. Cheers Graham

[@trevorrevell4813]

Just watched with my Grandchildren 😉 we loved your video. Thank you Sarah. 😃

[@Midimoho]

I was wondering if you might share how you have your poles attached to your pack. Thx!

[@howardmcknight9773]

You looked a lot happier on this camp Sarah than when you finished your last camp, are you sure that water wasn't from your whizzer lol, the sound was great.

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@howardmcknight9773 kinder tea ☕️ 😂 I don’t like drinking pee 😅 I certainly felt more relaxed and ready/welcome to be there. As usual I left an offering 🌹 and thanked Kinder for my resting place ✨

[@howardmcknight9773]

Good for you Sarah.

[@pawoutdoors9290]

Great call vid. Lovely night fun with friends it’s great go get out alone but friends change the whole feeling.

[@Chilternwildcamper]

Hi its interesting to see you out with people, ive been out with my 20 year old son on the Peaks in August and of course I had none of the usual solo female nerves, so a nice change. Im wondering if that tent holds the warmth in for youif theres a cold wind. We women tend to feel the cold abit more than the chaps!

[@SoloSarahBX]

Hey 👋🏻 I don’t feel much different in the Durston when comparing it to the Soulo with regards to the cold and wind. The tent held steady, poles didn’t slip and I don’t feel a draft from outside when the solid inner is zipped up. Solo female nerves come and go with me, it depends where I am and what mood I’m In or what’s happening in life in general regarding my stressors or anxiety levels. Camping with others melts all of that away ☺️ reassurance maybe? I’m glad you acknowledge this 🙏🏻 male viewers often share that they haven’t yet camped alone as they are too nervous and I’m glad they share that feeling with me too. ATB, Sarah

Did you use grub screws to fix pegs, I lost my glasses so sadly vid is bit of a blurr, nice now and then to have company on camps too, great vid ATB

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@RickWright-s6j hey 👋🏻 my camping pal fixed the legs up for me as I have no skill or tools to do it. He explained that he drilled the pegs in a vice then placed a screw/spring in the hold and finished it off with a super strong filler. They are solid as a rock 🪨 thank you for watching!

[@nm0519]

Awesome video. Nice to see you back. Nice and long video magic

[@SoloSarahBX]

Thanks 🙏🏻 it was a long one! I guess that is a consequence of being hunkered down in the tent on winter nights with solid rain. All that falling g wore me out…s😴

[@Darrenfive0]

Grindsbrook is definitely pronounced the way you say it. As in a grin not a grind 👍👍

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@Darrenfive0 feels more natural saying it like that for me, thanks for the confirmation ✨

[@PhilWaud]

Great to see you back up on Kinder! It didnt look too bad really, not compared with some of the rubbish we have had. Thanks for sharing!

[@SoloSarahBX]

Thanks Phil, the weather felt much worse than it looked on camera but it was still worth it just being up there was a true delight. The tent was a joy to use even as kinder was slapping my bum 🤩😝

[@PaulandSadie]

Good evening Sarah, thank you for that amazing video! Your friends were certainly very lucky to have you camp with them 😊 I'm really glad you had a great time as you're so used to going it Solo. The weather wasn't great out there last night, and kinder certainly can smack your bum and send you home packing, so to set off knowing you're in for a night of rain and up Grindsbrook as well with those packs on your backs 😅 you certainly don't do things by half's. Always appreciate your humour, the laughs you provide us with, and the effort you go to to put together such honest and entertaining videos. Another special camp to add to yours and your buddies memory box. 🌟⛺️🌧🌷🌟

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@PaulandSadie my first non solo wild camping trip was a hit both! I had such a great time which was clearly seen in the video. I choose to camp alone for the reasons you already know but when you meet someone special it’s important to follow that feeling and intention and make it reality. I’m really looking forward to more camps with those dudes and I know they will be back for more adventure because some folk are meant to cross paths no matter the distance, I have. Feeling it will be a life long mission with them. All the best to you guys and I’ll see ya on the next one ✨✨✨✨✨✨⛺️⛺️✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@PaulandSadie]

It's a nice spot there, I've borrowed it too previously. Last Wednesday, I was on the northern side to get away from the 45mph gusts. I don't know if you remember but I said my BA Rapide SL leaked. I've just had my replacement replaced for the same reason. There's been quite a delay getting it as there's been a redesign. There's no Primaloft, it's more compact, lighter and a higher R value. It seems more crinkly and I'll be testing it on Friday. Hopefully it will last more than 6 months (35-40 nights). Great video as usual. Keep getting out there.

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@Life-Outdoors-UK I wish you the best of luck with the new pad, it can certainly spoil a good nights Kip when they blow, I’ve been there however sleeping on a. Foil mat was a great back up, if you notice I’m never without my £1.49 foil windscreen cover these days 😍 life saving kit needn’t be too flash like my Big Agnes insulated mat but it is certainly luxury to enjoy a soft warm bed in nature in winter!

[@Soulfinder-HS]

Another wonderful video Sarah, thank you for bringing us along to such a beautiful peaceful place like Kinder.❤

[@SoloSarahBX]

@@Soulfinder-HS thank you so much for your comment 🙏🏻 it was slightly wild up there but not the worst I’ve been in. It really made me happy getting up for. Camp again. I’ve missed it, it’s not so easy getting there and up there with the little time I have in my current life set up but it’s so important to make that time for ourselves. Next camp will be enjoyed in the local side of the Peak District ☺️

[@Soulfinder-HS]

@ Looking forward to your next adventure Sarah. Please don’t go so close to the edge of high points, l watch fearing for your safety. I had a close call while trying to get a better photo of the waterfall at kinder downfall, I didn’t think of the rocks getting wet from the spray and slipped near the edge, but managed to grasp onto a large rock, which possibly saved me going over the edge, lesson learned. Stay Safe Sarah.

Great video! I love Kinder Scout. I haven't done it yet, but I need to camp up here! 😍👍🏼

@@RossInTheWild it feels like an escape getting up there especially when on the sides of kinder than don’t get as much traffic, it’s superb but the weather should never be underestimated, always go prepared 👌🏻most of all, ENJOY ☺️
