Peak District - Gardom's Edge Historic Sites & Hammock Wild Camp

In this video I walk up to Gardom's Edge in the eastern Peak District to explore some historic sites. I visit a Standing Stone, Bronze Age Round Houses and an interesting Rock Carving that isn't what it first appears to be.... I then hang my DD Hammock for an overnight wild camp
10 points if you can guess the name of the song i've remixed :-)

Love these videos good for when youve just woke up making coffee ☕

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Nice to see you sticking to your Derbyshire roots Dean with some top ‘thriftyness’ 😆. Just shows the gear is top quality and made to last. Really enjoy watching your videos. You’ve made so many, you could almost have your own Netflix series 😂

[@DeanRead]

Hahaha thanks for watching Anthony

[@davejohno1149]

Excellent, as usual, Dean… and right on my doorstep!

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Dave, it's somewhere I'd wanted to camp for some time as it's so close to home :-) All the best, Dean.

[@markwilliams9325]

I’m loving this video been to Gardoms edge twice this week It’s only 5 mins from my house and purchased a hammock today so fingers crossed I can go and explore some more and spend a night 👍

[@carletonblackwell]

Loving the videos. Kirk Yetholm is one of walking areas when over from peebles. The borders pub is a great stop for a pint. As you come off the last high ground near crows foot look out for a great hill fort spot.

Just realised this video was posted on my birthday Cheers Dean always nice to see you also Chips

[@bigmac9013]

Can’t beat sleeping under the stars like that.

[@DeanRead]

Really enjoy it, I like to sleep without the tarp when I know it's not going to rain :-)

[@bigmac9013]

You can’t beat it mate best night sleep ever outside properly outside.

[@fuzedj5442]

brilliant tune at the beginning, a bit more mellow compared to the version i used to play on the radio "force & styles - simply electric"

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Matt, that's a classic tune. This is a remix of the Force and Style track 'Follow Me' which is equally as good 😎👍

[@fuzedj5442]

@@DeanRead thats the one! what a tune! nice one for the correction! i think i might go and dig that one out the vinyl collection and play it :)

Thanks for watching Adam, I live about 6 miles south of Chesterfield nearer Clay Crossed :-) All the best, Dean.

[@Dazgreen382]

Hi Dean.....thanks for the shout out....it was nice to meet you and Lisa the other week in Tesco....just wanted you to know even though I’m still a relatively novice wild camper, you’ve certainly inspired me to get out there and enjoy the Peak District....another fantastic video....love the night sky time lapse.....keep up the good work mate...atb Darren 👍

[@eagleowlfeathers4156]

Well done Dean. A truly great part of the UK

[@phillipgreen6203]

Another excellent video Dean. Well done! Great inspiration for a visit later this year. Made me smile when you mentioned about your 'aging' gear. "It must be three years old now!" I'm still using stuff I've had 30+ years! :-D Keep up the good work! ;-)

[@havingalook2]

Ginger - a new one - I was thrilled - you are looking at the top of your form and so healthy. I do worry about you getting cold though and your ears - you do wear some kind of hat I hope, at times so you don't freeze. Brilliant one for the start of this new year. So look forward to each and every one of your spectacular journeys. Thank you. Oh and I do often wonder about your boots. I am keen to know what you wear. Cheers Never stop what you are doing - so many of us live through you.

[@laurawatkins9399]

It's been a while since I've visited your channel! Great to see your part of the world again. I especially enjoyed the info about the archaeological sites.

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Laura, all being well I'll be over on your side of the Atlantic myself soon :-)

[@Dorset_Phil]

Love walking around Linacre when i'm in Chesterfield. A great spot to exercise my dogs, (apart from the new parking charges). Loved the history in this vid. Can't wait for the next one.

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Philip, Linacre is a great place to get some fresh air. Haven't parked there for a while but I can imagine it might be pricey. Used to walk there regularly when we were living at the farm. All the best, Dean.

[@Darrenfive0]

Great video Dean. I’ve walked up there a few times and had no idea all that history was there. Cheers 👍👍

[@paulradford7290]

Great video as always. I was up ticking off Wainwright's the same day as you filmed this.

[@fuzedj5442]

oh i just see you have remixed that yourself, nice one mate, so are you a fellow happy hardcore man? i have been dj'ing for the last 16 years playing happy hardcore on pirate radio and at raves, but been a while since i played at a rave now!

[@DeanRead]

Was a teenager when Happy Hardcore was in its prime and our raving days began in 2001 when Hardcore came back... Scott Brown was my favourite DJ back then. Have some great memories from places like the Sanctuary in Milton Keynes, HTID, Uproar and Vibealite :-) Haven't been to an event in years though other than a friend's Jungle / Old Skool night.

[@DadandtheLad]

How are you not the official guide and historian of the Peak District??! SO much knowledge!

[@wasdalemanexploringoutdoor5137]

Its amazing what’s there if you know where to look synthetic stones and all. I really enjoy these exploring videos. We are going to look at Hob Thirst's Cave at the end of the week so the Peak District tourist board is doing a great job! Bad luck with the memory card, I feel the pain. All the best.

[@ttxela]

Great stuff, not an area I've explored but looks to be plenty of interest there 👍

[@freedom5716]

Well done Deano bro great vid love the history facts. Just wondering have you ever gone military with any kit? the reason i ask is you mentioned your tarp leaking and not very camouflage for stealth camping i can vouch 1st hand for the Army basher, its very strong and waterproof also you said your sleeping bag isnt very efficient zub 0 I have a snugpak softy 9 used it in the Falklands and Norway great sack light warm n compact they do a softy 12 but its getting a bit on the bulky side, softy 9 can handle the most extreme of UK weather easily m8. Just wondering pal anyway i love your vids you know your stuff look foward to the next 1.

[@morturn]

Nice video Dean, thanks. I have had the same problem with my 7D too, fortunately it was just a faulty card. I tend to carry a few spare cards and swap them regularly before they are full, just in case.

[@taffman1]

A nice watch just before I go to work. I am up your way in early April I am camping in Edale as I am going on a intermediate Navigation Course, need the recap for it has been quite a while since I did a walk over areas I am not familiar with.

[@richardgray6603]

Great video Dean:) sounds like your set on a Rab sleeping bag, but Rock + run are doing a mountain hardwear lamina z flame for £70 , got similar ratings to you UL 1300, cheers mate:)

[@malcolmcog]

I rarely visit the Eastern Edges as I'm living in Birmingham so the West and South of the Peak District has always been my favourite, but your video makes me wnat to explore the Eastern Edges

[@Nabagabo22]

Fantastic to see winter hammock camping! For those who would like an easy intro to the subject - small illustrated book 'The ultimate Hang' by Derek Hansen - now 2nd Edition is highly recommended!

[@JimSmith-yh5ym]

Another great video Dean. What do you use to find your information about the Peak District

[@rlrphotography-uk]

Great Video as per usual .is there a GPX of your walk please. More like this when you have time Please.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Nice video

[@benmarks7732]

Never been up to Gardoms edge - it looked very interesting. Done all the things near there but never up to the edge it's self. You seemed to have had a good camp I'm hoping for some good weather next week as it's half term so time to do a spot of wild camping... As for the music, I have no clue what the original is!

[@andreafluffkitten]

Number of times I've parked up at Shillito Woods before walking and I've never seen that cross. Ooops, good reason to go back again. :)

[@DownHillCol]

Nice one Dean, Shame about the footage! Haven’t been to Gardoms for ages, I must get out there and I’ve never actually seen the stone, I just used to climb a lot around that area. Take care buddy ATB Col

[@BLUEARROW331GAMING]

great vid, ive just bought a hammock and looking for places to go round chesterfield (where i live).

[@AstromanJB]

Another fine video Dean, i went up to Gardoms Edge last week looking for the Cup & Ring rock but failed. Can you point me in the direction of it. I found the "Sun Dial" rock and thought it was close to that.

[@peterhilton9710]

Have enjoyed your films for many years.What editing program do you use?

[@DeanRead]

Hi Peter thanks for watching. I use iMovie on the Mac, simple and basic but that's all I need. All the best, Dean.

[@tomyxass]

Hi Dean, great vlog. Just a question. Im confused about wild camping in Peak district. Some of my friends said that you cant do it. On the other hand I found that its possible if you have land owners permission. Could you advise please?

[@RegLeonard]

Is that music 'brothers and sister's' by 2 funky with a key change? 😉

[@Dr.D00p]

How anyone can sleep comfortably in a hammock, is beyond me. They're certainly not designed with side sleepers in mind, that's for damn sure.

[@dirtyronald]

Martin Mac I think if you like sleeping on your back and you’re not a fidgeter and you have the correct sized hammock and you know how to set it up properly they are extremely comfortable. I however side sleep and fidget like crazy so what feels super comfortable, doesn’t quite quickly.

[@DeanRead]

Hi Martin thanks for watching. I'm a side sleeper and I must admit I find them comfortable. This time I slept inside it so I could move around and not feel like I was going to flip upside down and land on the floor during the night. All the best, Dean.

ya think i dont recognise that piano 😄😎🎹

[@eliotking5304]

Do you need to ask for permission to camp in the Peak District ?

[@DeanRead]

Hi Eliot, the official answer would have to be yes as wild camping isn't technically allowed anywhere in the UK without permission apart from Scotland and Dartmoor. I always stick to the rules of 'leave no trace' and make sure I stay out of view and don't camp near roads or buildings. I definitely don't have fires either in places where I don't have permission to do so. I'm sure if you stuck to those principles you'll be fine to wild camp anywhere :-) All the best, Dean.

[@eliotking5304]

Dean Read thankyou much appreciated 👍🏻

[@mickytwoknives]

you need to pitch on a cricket field with a tarp like that not to be seen...lol

[@DeanRead]

I have a DD black tarp now that i'm calling the 'Stealth Bomber' so that is much more covert :-) Thanks for watching

[@mickytwoknives]
