Your snows are similar to the ones where l live in the states...40 years ago we would have snow most of the winter.. now days it’s hit and miss.. more miss the last 10 years..but you are right on once you get out in the snow.. it’s like another world.. a bit tougher but very satisfying to “survive “ a night in the snow!!

He lived to 88 and went for a couple of walks with the dog every day up to his last year or so. Thanx for this video Pat be well bud:)

Hello Patrick, have commented on your videos in the past but that's a good while ago now so you probably don't remember me. I'm one of those you refer to as not being able to get out much anymore. Unfortunately due to arthritis I can only manage short excursions and then only if it's one of my better periods. Your videos fetch back a real mixture of bitter sweet memories. I used to really love wild camping on Kinder and Bleaklow. Trouble is I still feel the same in my head. Reality kicks in if I try and put thoughts into practice. Still you've got to make the best of things. I find your stuff a real tonic sometimes when I'm feeling a bit low. Keep up the good work.

Pat, you're spot on. I'm 72 and back in Thailand. The temperature has dropped to about 23 and it feels cold even though you'd think it was a heat wave back in Sheffield. Last summer, I spent a night on Kinder. My daughter and b/f carried the heavy stuff. They slept in a tent and I slept under a tarp propped up against some rocks, in a heavy bivvi. Snug as a bug. Windy all night but every moment was memorable and I dream about it. I'd love to do it again. But as you say, in the mean time I can watch your videos, which will never get old. Thanks Pat.

I was a member of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Team for a while, back in the 70s. At one particular time I was leading a group of students. We got up to Kinder plateau, but it was much too windy to keep moving with the students. Found a boundary wall that sheltered us, I cooked the food for them all, then into the sleeping bags inside bivvy bags, 3 people in each one. The bivvy bags were giant thick plastic bags, kept ius insulated ferom the ground especially using sleep mattresses. Boots were kept on all night, rather than hit the problem of frozen boots and not being able to get them back on. Damp socks removed and placed inside sleeping bags aand dry, new socks put on for overnight. Great trip back down to the flatlands and the hostel, where we had a second breakfast just like Hobbits.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Wow Dave bit of a adventure you had up there on Kinder, lucky you had the survival bags or things could do been so different. I bet the students still talk about it today........ thanks Pat

[@Demun1649]

@@patrickdickinson6492 I did have a similar adventure on the Brecons in the winter. Again a very, VERY, cold wind, and a shortage of issued equipment. I dished out what spare kit I had to the worst suffering students. I decided to bring them down to the valley road, and on the way down came across a group of soldiers huddling behind a wall. They were in summer uniforms, and had two ponchos between the 5 of them, so were suffering very badly. I made hots drinks for all of use and then kept going down, with the 5 soldiers sheltered in the middle of our group. When we got down to the road there was an army lorry parked there. The sergeant came storming across, shouting at me for not leaving them there. Luckily. I shouted back, "You will address me as Sergeant-Chef". (the equivalent tp a Company Sergeat Major), I had served in the French army, so knew my protocol. "My job is to save lives of recruits. What is your name and unit? And I want that right now. I will be reporting you to the Redcaps for negligence". He soon calmed down when he realised he had gone way over the rules concerning raw recruits, especially in winter and badly equipped. That was fun.

[@MrDegsy69]

Nice video Pat. Snedge aint what it used to be! I can remember venturing up onto Bleaklow back in the eighties and it used to drift so deep you could drop into the voids up to waist level if you wandered off the track. I can well understand you giving the Rambler and Nags Head a miss as their 4WD driver friendly tap prices are truly scandalous. The arctic hares really stand out on Bleaklow now due to reduced snow covering. One spring after the winter thaw i went up there and found the skeletons of a pair of them stood up like they were boxing! I would guess they either starved or froze to death in a blizzard and huddled together in their final moments. Going up here this weekend. It actually feels even colder these days as the snow is not as dry as it used to be and is wet to the touch. It used to be loose, dry and powdery back then to the point that you needed crampons to get traction on it. Global warming is definitely a real thing as the younger generation have nothing to compare it against.

[@Voodoo_Ray]

I know people who have been avalanched/cornice collapsed on bleaklow in the last 10 years

[@MrDegsy69]

@@Voodoo_Ray I can understand this as the ground is not as cold as it used to be at this altitude. I can honestly remember it setting concrete hard like permafrost for weeks on end. You can actually feel the snow melting and evaporating around you now and it makes the going very damp and cold. It actually used to have an insulating effect in the past and was ideal for bivouacking.

[@Voodoo_Ray]

@@MrDegsy69 I remember 2008/9 and 10 being decent years. If memory serves snow fell in Nov and didnt leave till April. The Greenfield road and Holme Moss were closed for weeks. We had 15 foot plus drifts. We built quinzees and snow holes on black hill and people were skiing on Bleaklow

[@MrDegsy69]

@@Voodoo_Ray I can remember some really good winters up there in the past. It was about the only time you could actually walk up on Black Hill back then without getting stained jet black in the deep peat bogs before they laid the erosion treatment down on the P.W. It always amazes me how low passenger airliners seem to be flying above there but them you have to remember how high above sea level it actually is. I sometimes visit the wreck of the B29 super fortess 'over exposed' up on Shelf Stones. This was a payroll flight on route between RAF Scampton and Burtonwood. It ploughed into the top in low cloudbase, poor visibility conditions. This was not uncommon prior to GPS navigation as aircraft flew in 2D plots back then on altimeter and compass bearing settings. You only had to get the calculation of a strong side wind wrong and you could easily drift into the hill tops if you could not see them in zero visibility. I liken this to the aeronautical equivalent of hitting a reef. This all stopped at a certain point in time with the advent of GPS navigation. Indeed this is my prefered method of crossing Bleaklow in thick mist these days as if you stray off the path you will end up walking in wide circles!

Thanks Pete, glad it brought back memories thanks Pat

[@lawsonrichards1789]

Great stuff pat. Enjoyed that video . Your tea looked proper nosh , glad to have found your channel again . Cheers Lawson

[@dougthomas1582]

Pat, your extramundane discipline walking by the pubs was fantastic. :) But even more so was the wonderful camp at Kinder Scout. Your words of encouragement were inspiring. My older brother is your age, and can't or won't get out of doors. On the other hand, me and my twin brother, (3 years younger), get out in 3 seasons and are working on the fourth. We love your channel. Thanks so much.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Doug yes great will power, mind you at 10-00 in the morning they were both shut. Great to be up on Kinder in the snow, thanks Pat

[@jwwardward1670]

Hi Patrick Thanks for the kick up the backside 65 this year and Thanks to you Paul and Andy.Got back in to camping and am really enjoying it you Three have cost me a small fortune for Hilleberg ect but worth every penny thank you

[@patrickdickinson6492]

You won,t regret it so much to see and so many adventures to have. Now you have made the big investment in equipment a wildcamp will not really cosy you much now, just getting there and your food, thanks Pat

[@mbull7458]

Brilliant video and camp patrick,well done and keep the video's coming please as we really enjoy watching, Marcus.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Marcus, glad you enjoyed the video thanks Pat

[@jamesmitchell1909]

Love these vids from a proper Yorkshire bloke who knows the outdoors and how therapeutic it can be in the wild.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yeah I always come back feeling alot better totally refreshed,nothing better, thanks Pat

[@jay63798]

Was just last week watching your previous Kinder videos in preparation for a Hike across the top this past weekend! Another great video, thanks!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Jared such a amazing place, thanks Pat

[@stepheneverett6131]

Brilliant again Patrick ,very true life is too short .loving your work .

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Stephen, just don,t get the snow now, so these camps getting few, totally different camping in the snow... thanks Pat 👍

[@cornishtrekker]

Great camp in the snow Patrick looked good to be out! The weather does change so quickly here in the UK there was snow here a week ago and 1 degrees now it’s 60-70 mph winds and 12 degrees! All the best.

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Great to see you back on the camping/ hiking trails Patrick. Really enjoy your vids, no fuss, not trying to be funny. Just plain old getting out and doing it!!! Well done to you mate 👍👍👍👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Darren, glad I managed to get out in the snow, Pat

[@paintbox48]

Fabulous video. Really gives a flavour of what it's like to be there, and satisfies yet another of my desires. Being 70 with heart problems a visit up Kinder isn't really sensible! Thanks again.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

That's great at least you get to see what it's like, all the best Pat

[@leeholt563]

Great to see you back out there Pat... You have got many years left of doing what ur doing mate! You put many young uns to shame! Keep going Pat and keep enjoying it mate 😉

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks I was glad I managed to get our in the snow, always a bit of a adventure a snowy camp, all the best Pat

[@mike-clarke]

Hi Patrick, just letting you know, really enjoy your adventures and videos, thanks 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Mike

[@dcobblers]

Hi Patrick, your video gave me a kick up the arse, and I went over to Edale in my old campervan on Friday afternoon. Managed to keep it down to just a couple of pints in the Nags head, so I could get up fairly early on Saturday. I walked along the southern edge of kinder scout - The snow had flurries up to a couple of feet deep in places, and the views were absolutely spectacular - perfectly clear skies, plenty of sun and no wind at all. One of the most enjoyable 17 miles of my life. I'm nesh though so quickly retreated to the relative warmth of the camper van not long after dark.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

You did well to get up on to Kinder, there is no easy way up there, but the rewards are fantastic,on top of the world with views to match. You definitely earned a few pints when you got back down, all the best Pat

[@dcobblers]

Watched your video again and I'm thinking of having a go at wild camping, campsites aren't for me and I'm only a few minutes away from Chesterfield train station. I'm looking at putting together a beginners kit and it seems like I can get a lot of the stuff 2nd hand after it's been used for DofE. I'd be interested to see a video on what to wear and what to pack - Years ago I started my walking hobby in a pair of Dr Martens and some old jeans "because they seemed sturdy"...

[@patrickdickinson6492]

@@dcobblers loads of gear at places like Go Outdoors and not all expensive or like you say ex army gear is always good, just get the basics to get you out, Pat

[@wayneofox1081]

Most enjoyable as always pat,some beautiful snowscape pics. Your food always looks so yummy. Thanks for sharing!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Wayne, beautiful up there it was, thanks Pat

[@peteredwardfox]

Another brilliant one Pat, thank you. 2019 off to a great start with 2 cracking videos so far! And you are showing no signs of slowing down or getting old!!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Peter,great start to the year, thanks Pat

[@WiltshireMan]

Welldone Pat, Another great winter camp. We've got snow down south in Wiltshire right now:) Snow is fickle stuff and like you say "It's here one day and gone the next". Glad you got to make the most of it. Sandy

[@richardsweeting19]

Cracking video Patrick. Keep them coming and keep going. Stunning place to wild camp.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes Kinder is a amazing place thanks Pat

[@phill812004]

Loved the video age is only a number Pat long may you continue happy adventuring

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Phill

[@woodman9624]

Your videos are always inspirational-I’m healing from a tree climbing fall(40’ down on my saw-broke pelvis and hip) so I am looking forward to climbing, hiking and camping again. Best to you, Patrick.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Get well soon, all the best Pat

[@kingbov6250]

Thanks for another fabulous video. The adventures you've had. Amazing. Watching you with no gloves on though has made me shiver lol. Cheers pat.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi yes I noticed that, trouble was everytime I stopped to take a photo or film I took my gloves off to operate the camera, they quickly epwent back on though, thanks Pat

[@michaelstevens630]

A fabulous attitude and a natural way on camera. Excellent.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Michael

[@chrisbryant5681]

Another great video Pat and the best route up onto Kinder, although a bit slippy in the snow.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes my favourite way up, steep but quick but then your up and the days all yours, thanks Pat

[@pete2347]

Thanks for sharing your adventure Pat. Glad you got up there before the snow melted. I’ve done a lot of winter camping here in Canada where it can get extremely cold, so some seriously warm winter gear is required!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Pete, yes very rarely get much snow now, and difficult to time a camp when it's down. So good to do a camp in the snow, totally different and a real adventure...... thanks Pat

[@zdenekmarek3843]

Thankyou for your reply much appreciated.Yes your correct,my first signs of getting older were while scrambling up mountains and becoming dizzy due to the thinner atmosphere,then later the old injuries start being noticeable.Yes Do It Now is my motto as I travel through old age ! Thanks Pat.Be Blessed and do wrap up around your neck ! to keep warm.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Could, nt agree more zdenek, do as much as you can every day, we're all getting older, thanks Pat

[@robmimi6796]

Hi Pat, just love your videos , great to see all the local areas I love, Rob

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Rob, great that you recognise all the old places, thanks Pat

[@jamesmitchell1909]

This looks so enjoyable nothing better than camping out ,experiencing the beautiful outdoors of Yorkshire Derbyshire and so forth.And that food looks really tasty.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes had climb up but worth it for the atmosphere of being on top of the world, or Derbyshire, at least, thanks Pat

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes felt great up there, Pat

[@simonholt6649]

Hi Pat. That was a great video. That brought back a lot of memories for me. I use to walk all over that area with my dad when I was younger, in fact I’ve been up the route you took many times in the past. The peace and serenity you get up on the tops is fantastic. Look forward to your next adventure. 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks Simon glad you enjoyed the video and the memories it reminded you of, yes got to agree amazing place, thanks Pat

[@chrismillington6839]

Another very enjoyable video Pat, it looked nice and cosy in the tent up there in the elements. Thanks!

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Once inside the tent it was pure heaven, Pat

[@NorthEastTrailRunner]

Another brilliant video, Patrick. Camping in the snow looks like good fun.

[@simonattwood4540]

Another cracking video pat really enjoyed it I'm from sheffield never been up on kinder but this has really inspired me to give it a go cheers pat stay safe matey 👍

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Kinder is another world, especially in winter, but beware the weather can change quickly, so easy to get lost when the mist comes down,if you stay on the edge path bit easier to navigate, enjoy yourself up there, thanks Pat

[@trucker5722]

Making me shiver just witching Pat glad you enjoyed it, another brilliant video.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Thanks, it was actually very warm, I think a thaw had set in, had the tent open most of the night, at least I just caught the last of the snow, thanks Pat

[@danhorne3582]

Your videos never disappoint Pat . Thanks for the winter outing . Take care and Thanks again for the adventure . Dan from Canada out.

[@tonyedwards678]

Thanks for another great video Pat. I agree, get out and do something. Am in my mid 70s now and my wild camp is in a van in the Algarve but I am jealous of your winter camp, fantastic.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Tony I think I would like to swap camps, the Algarve sounds very attractive, thanks Pat

[@barrybarker5646]

That was great,I really look forward to ur wild camp videos👍👏👏👏ope u keepin well so we can enjoy many more wi ya,all the best,baz👍😉

[@marketmalc]

Gudden Pat. We certainly have some fabulous country round here! You prove you're as old as you feel. Appreciated.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes very lucky to have the countryside we have , thanks Pat

[@jamielew]

New to the channel and I am hooked. Slowly making my way through the fantastic collection of videos. Loving everyone. True gent. And a pleasure to enjoy your travels and trips with. Wild camps my favourite 😊

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Hi Jamie, it’s great to have you along and here’s hoping you enjoyed my back log of videos. I have got many more wild camps planned, but occasionally go off on a tangent of what ever interests me at the time,…….all the best Pat

[@ronin3940]

I've missed your wildcamping videos mate, and it's a great point you make on when it's bad weather you do think to yourself do I really want to be out in this, but yes! When you do make the effort your always glad you did.

[@patrickdickinson6492]

Yes once your out everything is ok, thanks Pat
