That looked a great camp, all three of you looked to be having a fabulous old time of it. I think there's the makings of a Christmas No1 from the Bothy Boys. Merry Christmas to you and your family mate 🌲🌲

Nice one Dave. Glad you were able to get out between the storms. Never knew there was a bothy in the peak district. Missed a nice warm fire though for the long winter night. 👍👍

Argh Dave, no charger cable! I had a similar experience once. Didn’t set my phone to battery saver mode. Got an hour into a day walk and used up 60%! It’s an irritating experience, eking out your power and continually berating yourself. After that, I bought an ANKER power bank, carry 2 cables and check battery saver multiple times every day. No stress since then, even on long trails. You live and learn, eh? 👍

[@DaveGoodman1959]

@@JustinWhiting9 hiya Justin, yes it would have been nice to do a bit more filming, hey ho. Merry Christmas to you all. 🎄🎅👍

[@JustinWhiting9]

Have you optimised your phone settings, Dave? There will be a KZbin video specifically for your phone called “How to save/improve battery life” or similar. Usually 10 settings or so, plus screen less bright and dark mode, etc. Makes a big difference, especially on trail. All the best, and Happy Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@DaveGoodman1959]

@ thanks Justin It’s an old pro max which has a bigger battery so even with filming can last 2 days, if on a longer remote trip and filming I leave it on airplane mode all the time unless I want to contact someone. So just forgot my charging cable this time. 🙏 Yes and sometimes optimise the settings.

[@JustinWhiting9]

Ah, I use iPhone 11. Which one is yours? I can see it has good resolution in low light around camp. I remember your night filming in the Cairngorms next to that old shack with your lamp. Much better than mine.

[@DaveGoodman1959]

@ iPhone 12 Pro Max Justin Was the first to get the latest tech still in the newest phones. Bought it as 2 year old iPhone refurbished. Cost £850

[@penninewayne1967]

Great little video Dave. Shame you left your charging cable. You won’t do that again hey. How did you sleep in the Oyster Clough bothy? Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025 mate. Hope to meet up again in the new year. 🙏👍

Do you need to book the both? We are in Macclesfield this would be brilliant for us.

[@DaveGoodman1959]

@@PaulJohnsonUK hi Paul and thanks for getting in touch. You do not need to book but being close to the road could be occupied especially Friday and Saturday nights. Going early can help but if the weather was very bad you need to be prepared to accept late comers late into the evening. You should take a tent too being prepared to go elsewhere although there is nowhere to pitch close by. For more information on bothies and bothy etiquette here is a link to the MBA.
