Peak District Solo Wild Camp - Hidden Gem in a Helm Compact 1

Peak District solo wild camp in a hidden gem with the Helm Compact 1.
Another awesome wild camp in the glorious Peak District with the Helm Compact 1. A lot of you may recognise the area this location is in but noticed this little hidden gem on a hike and had to try the spot!
Amazing!
Was such a great camp, I had the weather on my side too! Saw both golden hours and they were incredible. Definitely worth the effort.
I hope you enjoy the video and appreciate how much of a fantastic night it was...
Thank you for clicking on my video!!
ATB.... Chris

    Fantastic video! We really enjoyed watching. Know the area well, so beautiful. Trigs, beers and sunsets! Couldn't agree more! What better way to spend your evening!😊 Props to you for putting the effort in and getting up so early to catch that sunrise! We are really enjoying your channel and think you come across so well, particularly that you are so respectful of your environment and your genuine love for the outdoors is infectious. Look forward to your next one😁👍

I was so glad I got to see both golden hours so was very lucky there with that one. Sometimes it all works out brilliantly! I am so happy you are enjoying my channel and the content and really glad I seem to come accross well. I do love the outdoors and the environment so want to keep it looking beautiful when im out there. Thanks so much once again and see you on the next one..... Take care and ATB.. Chris 😊👍🏻❤😎

    How refreshing to see a KZread video like this. Love that you haven’t said the location. So many places are being ruined by videos by “influencers” showing “secret locations” then the hoards come and rubbish is dumped everywhere with people showing no respect for the land. So to see this restored my faith. Glad you showed what you do with the rubbish so hopefully everyone watching understands to take your rubbish with you. Just got back from there today and I also watched the sunset last night …… though walked back in the dark to sleep in my van. Subscribed

    Hi Emma!! 👋🏻 Firstly thank you so much for clicking on my video and taking the time to watch it 🙏🏼 and of course for the sub! I honestly fo appreciate it very much 😊 Yes I thought id not say exactly where it was for the reasons you said. Some of my favourite locations either hiking or on a camp were getting ruined, I noticed it even more so after restrictions were being lifted too sadly 😒 I would go back to them and find litter and things just left there. I even went back to the Lake District for a hammock camp with my friend who lives there and when we got to the location there was a big fire scar, metal grill and 2 x disposable bbqs, about 15 empty cans of cider and two tarps still attached to the trees!! We took the tarps down and put the cans etc folded in them then took them back down with us to near the car in the morning. Told the chap in a BP fuel station and asked if we could put them in the big bins they had round the back which he let us. So started off our camp being annoyed. Have also gone to some locations in the Peaks and found loads of toilet paper wedged in rocks and bottles. Just dont get it!? You'd think people would be going out to enjoy the beautiful locations and can never understand why they don't want to leave it as they found it, ot better. I always show the area where I was and try to enforce Leave No Trace as much as I can. Most people that probably watch the vids do it anyway but I just hope if someone new to this kind of thing is searching for inspirational videos they will see it and hopefully follow. Glad to hear you had a great time yourself and safely got back to your van 😊 Stay safe out there, take care and keep enjoying those green spaces! ATB... Chris 😊🤜🏻💓🤛🏻

    Good afternoon Chris, wow another beauty of a film! Loving the teaser snippets in the intro. Sneaky Peak district wild camp, and yes absolutely amazing veiws! Loving the sunnies too, dare we say a summer vibe a foot! 😎 Good work on the location, what a cracking pitch, have to love the rock wind screen! Nice to get some time to sit back and have a sup, wont lie the flavoured IPA things freak us out lol, never tried one! Half intrigued half terrified lol 🍻🤯🤭 Absolutely loved the picth and what a perfect evening to be out enjoying the outdoors. Sleep setup and tent looking great as always, very nice! Loved the use of the stone for a cooking and food prep area, Gordon Ramsey would be proud! Loved the trig sunset, wow! That's what ita all about. Sorry for the time lapse fail, we haven't tried our yet. We use the hero 4 still for time lapse lo. Happy as larry for you mate, what a way to spend a night! Know exactly what you mean about that solitary feeling. We gave the option of camping this weekend for the first time this year I think your video has definitely helped seal that deal! 🏕❤ Loved the sunrise mate, again wow wow wow! Bit of dragons breath on the horizon too, perfection ❤🤗 Cracking footage, excellently presented and a good relaxing wild camp, well done mate, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤☕🌞 we are just heading out for an evening stroll now, adios 👍 Great job on leave no trace, as always.

    Hey!! Thanks so much for checking out the video as always... really glad you like it and like the teaser intro 😜 Yeah was definitely shades weather hahaha It was a real cool pitch had tracked this down on a hike before and just had to give it a blast! The IPAs are awesome haha you gotta try some of them. The flavour isnt as insane as you think still has that ale flavour lol but you can tastes subtle hints of things. Really happy you liked the set up and my little kitchen area haha. The time lapse setting on the gopro is awesome and I had it set up right. But, just left it in video mode so it recorded a 40 min video in 4K 🤣 speed it up to make a time lapse but it was horrendous. Hope you manage to get out on a camp and hope you both enjoyed your evening stroll. Many, many thanks for watching as I said and hope you both have a lovely coming weekend 😃😊👍🏻🤜🏻❤🤛🏻 ATB... Chris

    Great video, subbed, I'm thinking of getting this tent, seen great reviews on it, at the moment I have a Vango soul 200 that cost £40 back in 2016, so the helm 1 would be a great upgrade, I will be using it on Dartmoor in the highest parts up in the north

    Hi Steven!! 👋🏻 Ahh thank you so much for the sub 🙏🏼 it really is appreciated 😊 This tent is brilliant I absolutely love it! I was so impressed by it that I got the Helm Compact 2 version aswell and got rid of my other two man. I've been in some decent winds with the Helm Compact 1 and it definitely held its own, a lot more than I believe other tents in the same price range would. Very impressed you will love it and what a place to use it! Dartmoor is a great stomping ground to spend the night 💯 Thanks again ATB... Chris

    Props for getting away with it camping there! Thought it was patrolled constantly by game keepers.

    Haha thanks so much for clicking on my video!! Well there are Gamekeepers from a certain estate that patrol certain edges. Especially at the moment... But this location is just after their actual access land and quite hidden from the main paths / routes 👍🏻👍🏻 ATB.... Chris

    Great spot that, never been there but looks great. Closest I've got is about 5k west at the castles. Mind me asking roughly where you parked? I think it can be quite cut throat round there.
