Extremely Wet Wildcamp Derwent Valley

Leaving Sheffield we drive out to Derwent Valley in the Peak District, passing a bend in the road where I wrote off my first car 50 years ago, which brings back many memories of my early driving experiences.
Aiming to camp at Crow Stones, high up in the Derwent valley we head up onto Howden Edge to be met with severe rain and mist. A decision is taken to adbandon the planned Crow Stones camp, due to bad conditions, and camp lower down the valley where a few glasses of Aberlour 12 year old single malt could be enjoyed in more pleasent conditions

[@chrisrichards7930]

Such a positive guy. He really knows how to lift the spirits

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Always love on the positive side, always done it.. thanks Pat

[@monsignorkukulski4633]

especially with a glass of whisky in his hand.... :)

[@byteme9718]

And drink them! 😂

[@thomasmitchell8002]

It's all about decision making , being flexible and working with the prevailing conditions at any given time.That's why your camps are always so successful and entertaining Pat. You are a noble ambassador for all that is so inspirational about embracing the great outdoors. Thanks for continuing to pass on your experience and wisdom. Good health !

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes agree there Thomas, all part of the fun and challenge of wild camping......all the best Pat

[@MrQuakeroat]

Yes. I was going to say there are three essential elements that Patrick has demonstrated are needed for a successful wild camp: experience, planning and the right kit. But you've nailed another, which is intelligence.

[@martinholmes100]

Hi Pat. No-one can ever accuse you of being a fair-weather camper!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

No, love a bit of rain, just not 16 hours....thanks Pat

[@stevelewis2378]

The worst exercise I ever did, when in the army, was only a 3-day exercise in the woods of Farnborough, UK in 1976. It wasn't cold, but it rained for those 3 days, non-stop. All of our equipment and spare clothing was soaking wet. We slept in shell scrapes which filled with water overnight. It was awful. My hands were painful because the skin around my nails was peeling and red raw due to being constantly wet. I did many longer exercises after that, but that one will never leave my memory. We were all so miserable.

[@r.b8129]

Steve I was there too.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Steve the rain gets everywhere, including one of my cameras, glad it was just a overnighter, then back home to dry out.... thanks Pat

[@user-si4pb6zm4b]

My friend I have no doubt that this built your character

[@More-than-ladyboys]

The worst exercise…. Main battle camp, Sennybridge, Jan/Feb 1984. The horror! 🥶

[@richardborrell443]

Joy! Patrick takes us camping again. I enjoyed the expansive list of positives stated about camping in such conditions. I am sure "testing your equipment is important to many people but, I think your end-conclusion that it is "what camping is all about" is spot on. Thank you.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thank you Richard, there are always positives, in everything we do, sometimes difficult to find them.... thanks Pat 😊

[@leannehurst4260]

Good on ya Pat for getting out whatever the weather, you're inspiring. Look forward to a Christmas bevvie with you next month. Leanne & J. X

A great video Pat. I absolutely love sitting in a tent when it's raining.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

In the tent in the rain is a pure pleasure, walking through wet heather in it, is not...... all the best Pat

[@craiggill8444]

Absolutely brilliant again pat. It's interesting that you thought about the satellite tracker, because you camp alone, safety is paramount.!!!! Maybe it could be a Christmas present from your family.? Take care pat, and looking forward to the meeting in the pub shed. 🙏👌😀

[@patrickdickinson6492]

I have thought about the tracker for a while, but couple of time had to move, so time to act.... thanks Pat

[@rain-bender4712]

I bet the drive home feels really relaxing after that long walk carrying the rucksack. Great videos mate. This is how people should be living their lives - doing things. So many people do nothing but watch tv.

[@iangpark]

Can't argue with you on the driving front Pat - I've only had my license for 6 years but have bumped obstacles countless times, rolled and wrote off a company car and T-boned my first car at a roundabout. Happy to say nearly 2 years in now with no big accidents again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Haha, you sound like m in my younger days, Twi write offs in the first 5 years and 3 endorsements, a endorsement was like the 3 points we have now, it slowed me down a bit, then we found by going abroad we could drive like lunatics again, stay safe, all the best Pat

[@allandudson9684]

Thanks for the video Pat. I'm 52 and I wished I could do half as much as you. In the rain, the best positive is to have shelter. In second place is your fine whiskey. Best of luck to you. Loved the white knuckle ride in your car at the start...

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Just a matter of deciding what you want, and then just go for it....... thanks Pat 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Brilliant stuff yet again Patrick, Your sense of humour and practical knowledge of this great hobby shone through again.. Who needs other channels (who are classed as "influencers" by their own volition) when we've got our very own PD with a proper personality for KZbin

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Really nice comments which I do appreciate so much.... all the best Pat

[@billabongoneill]

Hi Patrick,Thank you for including the car footage, I used to cycle that route from Shirecliffe to Derwent dam in the 1960s it was an easy ride out downhill but was a nightmare to get back, the bit past Strines was hard going lol.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

I could imagine, so easy in a car, I could imagine you were all alot stronger and fitter back then..... thanks Pat

[@jimwulstan8592]

Rain, hail or shine, it’s always good to see Patrick bac on KZbin. That tent looks like just the job for Winter weather camping with a bit of added security. With all the new dangled drill bits available it’s easy to make a table lamp out of those ‘solid’ whisky bottles.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Jim, yes happy I had the Soulo, a feeling of safe and secure really helps..... thanks Pat

[@TheBlueOwl21]

Pat, The first couple of minutes of the video I thought I was on the Lombard Rally ! Upon your recommendation from a few months ago, I went to Tesco’s and purchased the Aberlour whisky, we just didn’t like it, and ended up giving it away, each to their own Pat. 👍🏻🥃

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes we all have different tastes, I don't like the peaty or smoky whiskys where some love it.....all the best Pat

Got to have some laughter, even on a wet camp like this, and with such a great area just feel so lucky to be able to roam about these beautiful hills..... thanks Pat

[@jonm9501]

@@patrickdickinson6492 always a pleasurable watch! Is it possible to do any camps not far from Barnsley? Went to university there so have a soft spot for the place.

[@Dr.D00p]

My tolerance for wet weather camping is pretty low these days...its just so insidious, no matter what you do, the wet always wins and makes things miserable. Wearing waterproofs is pointless when hiking and lugging a heavy backpack, as I just get get drenched from within by sweating, no matter how 'breathable' the jacket is supposed to be. I don't mind freezing cold as long as its dry, I don't mind baking hot and sweating, as at least I can get stuff dry at the end of the day...but cold & wet, its just the worst possible weather for anything & everything.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes not the best coditions, but still provided a few challenges, and worked out fine in the end.....thanks Pat

[@loadzofhobbies4219]

Cheer up mate.

[@Ben-ks5bm]

Totally correct mate, anyone whom says they enjoy it is a liar, it’s a miserable affair.

[@jim1380]

Shorts and fast drying footwear is the way forward unless its icy cold, your feet and legs will stay warm with movement and dry off faster when resting. Plus you wont sweat as much. Also always have a micro towel, and change of clothes in a dry sack for when your tent is up. Alternatively, you can move to a hot weather country 🤪👍🤞

Perfect for a Saturday afternoon Pat . Wonderful to see you getting out there , for what it's worth I'd have made the same call on where to pitch . Who needs the aggro in those conditions . A video on your 'misspent youth' maybe . Who knew , our Patrick being pulled over by Five 'O' and them saying "who do you think you are , Stirling Moss ? 🤣

Good on you Pat, camping in the wet weather 👍. You looked cosy in the tent with the sound of rain outside. Enjoyed the video as usual Pat, good job 😊

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Jim, yes very cozy in my tent, whisky helped a bit.... thanks Pat

Hi Patrick great driving as I was in back seat enjoying the scenery while you were driving! Nice area and the weather wasn't good but being in tent listening to the rain hitting the tent is an awesome sound. It's better when it rains when your about to go to sleep and sound relaxes you! Great little spot to camp and possitive things for me when it's raining is sound of rain hitting tent. Your not going to get wet in tent too. Plus when rain stops you could go out side . I've heard of whisky but never tried it. Maybe just maybe try it with irn bru. I'm always looking into lightweight food when camping. Hope you enjoyed this wild camp even though it rained. Every wild camp is different! Looking forward to next video and take care!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes, the rear seat might of been the best place, haha. The weather was awful, but the camp was still enjoyable, even if a bit challenging at times, because it was raining then shelter, and food became much more important, and then once safe in the tent.....just enjoyable again, helped with a few whisky's....... thanks Pat
