Winter Wild Camp With Patrick Dickinson.

Hello and Good Morning. Easter Monday and it's looking sunny outside, but I see people walking about well wrapped up. It was windy last night but that has dropped now. I will venture out shortly. 

I have recently come across a yooootooober that I haven't seen before, and now I am binge watching his videos because they are so entertaining. I will introduce Patrick Dickinson to you. In this one he treks up Kinder Scout in Derbyshire, from Edale Station, and sets up his tent for the night. It's hard going because of the snow on the ground. Nothing deters Patrick, he is always looking for an adventure. 

His video's cover a wide range of topics. Although there are many which show him camping in different places, he is an adventurer so nothing is ruled out. He climbs trees and sets up camp there. He explores underground tunnels, both river and disused railway tunnels. He has explored the rivers underneath Sheffield where he lives. He prepares all his own food and cooks it on a camp stove. He built a pub shed in his garden. He did a pub crawl tasting different beers, in pubs around Sheffield. He explores canals. Any excuse for an adventure and Patrick is game. 

He spends a lot of time editing his videos to perfection, with all filming done by himself. There is nothing false about them, just plain down to earth speaking. The research he puts into them must take him hours, most have additional information, much of it historical. This man should have his own TV travel and outdoor pursuits programme. 

Anyway, if you have half an hour to spare, (this one is 22 minutes) they are well worth getting into. Hours of entertainment, and what a nice man he is. 

Thanks for popping in. We'll catch up soon. Toodle pip.   ilona
