It's NOT what you think it is!

I've come to the Peak District National Park to go solo wild camping. I've wanted to do see Alport Castles for sometime. The hiking trail took me along the ridge, then from nowhere, all of a sudden the Alport Castles came into view. The Castles and surrounding cliff edges are spectacular.

I found a great spot for my wild camp. Most people camp on the cliff top looking down, but I wanted my wild camping location to be a stealth camp.

It was the perfect camping spot for my 2 person tent and my camping gear. Despite camping in the rain, I had a great wild camp. It was so nice to go solo backpacking, do a bit of camp cooking and have a couple of glasses of red!
