The day of arrival into Wales was mostly unplanned but I knew I was going to Wild Camp somewhere, but where was the question that I tried to answer all day. I headed over to the spectacular waterfall of Pistyll Rhaeadr I was really wanting to visit and saw it wasn't too far to head up onto Cadair Berwyn and chose that peak to sleep overnight.
In late February 2022 I headed to the Peak District for a Wild Camp on the summit of Kinder Scout. This is Day 2 of a 2 day walk which begins with a stop at the summit of Kinder Low followed by hunting out the official highest point on Kinder Scout. The next stops are Kinder Downfall and a 624m Trig Point on the north western corner of the Kinder Plateau. The first of 3 crash sites is then visited on the moorland north of the Kinder Plateau followed by following the entire northern edge of Kinder to the 590m Trig on the hills eastern end. Just south of there I visit two additional crash sites before descending back down to Edale.
In late February 2022 I headed to the Peak District for a Wild Camp on the summit of Kinder Scout. This is Day 1 of a 2 day walk which begins with a steep ascent up Jacobs Ladder to a wild camp spot just below Kinder Low with a stunning sunset over Manchester.
This superb overnight wild camp on the summit of Blencathra took me up Souther Fell first and then to the tranquil spot of Scales Tarn. The ascent to the summit of Blencathra was via the incredible Sharp Edge, a steep ridge that is a Grade 1 Scramble leading to Foul Crag and the final climb to the top. The sunset was breathtaking and then I hunkered down for the night. After camping I descended via Mungrisedale Common, Bannerdale Crags and Bowscale Fell and back to Mungrisedale.
Having just arrived for a little break in the lovely mountains of the Lake District I decided on a little wildcamp on the summit of Hallin Fell to try and capture the sunset and sunrise the following morning.
