When WILD CAMPING goes VERY wrong! || PEAK DISTRICT

Hello Adventurers!

Hope you have had a good half term break and made the most of the sunny weather...yes I am being sarcastic! Where is the sunshine? It is June for goodness sakes!

Anyway, while we wait for summer to arrive here in the UK, why not watch this little video I have filmed at the enchanting woods of Padley Gorge.

Originally I was excited to plan a hike/wild camp up over the northern side of the Dark Peak, starting at Snake Pass carpark and hiking over to The Tower of Alport Castles and beyond, in search of a secret little waterfall. I planned on taking my Nature Hike tent and test out my new back pack ahead of a bigger trip to North Wales.
Alas, my plan went a bit (a lot) wonky on this day... With the sunshine finally making its glorious appearance on the Sunday of half term week...the crowds had descended on the Peak District. Driving up through Chesterfield was a slog with queues of traffic causing long delays to get to my destination. Finally, once i arrived, every single parking space or layby suitable for an over nighter was already taken.
Parking is limited around the Dark Peak at the best of times but today, it was rammed!
So I was forced to turn back and head somewhere else, and with no phone signal to plan, I decided to go to Padley Gorge as I knew parking on the roadside was permitted.

The bad luck didn't stop there, the good news is I found a parking space....but that was where my luck ended..

From ants nests and scary cows to falling over, twisting my ankle, noisy traffic and crowds of people this camp was looking doomed....

It does make for a rather entertaining little video though...at my expense once again!
