Going to park on the road side and risk it.
Cheers Tim, that was my earlier idea. I emailed Kirsty at the campsite and she said they weren't insured unless the owner (camper) stays there so she wouldn't do it.
Back to the drawing board.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a safe place to leave my car over a couple of nights near tryfan or pen-y-pass for snowdon?
Read a few posts re lay-by parking but I'm nervous about getting my...
Had a great walk an wild camp in the Peak District at the weekend and made a short video I thought some of you may (or may not) like:

Cheers for the feedback both!
Yes I was very pleased with the Trailstar. It was easy to pitch and literally didn't move even in the relative strong winds. Like you say, tons of room which makes...
Comments?
As promised, here is a short video of the trip http://youtu.be/zvqyCHDPaNQ
Well I survived! Nice walk up along Stanage Edge, across to Bamford Edge up Win Hill and camped near Wooler Knoll. Headed back to the car at Fox House Inn along the Derwent Heritage Way today. The...
Cheers Gareth, yes I've done a fair bit of research into tarp setups. I have to confess though, I'll be using a Trailstar on this occasion.
Cheers for the tip! I hope it doesn't come to that. Temperature isn't too low this weekend but with the 50-60mph winds, windchill will drop it down to -8.
Off out tomorrow for a 24hr walk and wild camp in the Dark Peak, looks like it's going to be wet and windy!! Maybe in for a little snow to.
Decided to go for it and leave the tent at home and...
I've got the North Face Cats Meow for winter, used it down to -7, slept in boxers and was toasty. I use a mammut for the spring/summer, got it from gooutdoors for about £30. Rab do a silk liner for...
I think I've got a paracord problem!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/16/8a8ypa8a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/16/unura7ys.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/16/uqeju7e9.jpg
Thanks Suggy, yes my design is using the same bathtub style as the Oookstar but I'm going with rectangular as its just easier. I was a little confused about the waterproofness of the fabric, but I...
Hi,
I've got a small project on the go to make a groundsheet for my Trailstar. I have the design sorted and I think I've found the fabric for the job, but can anyone give me any advice on...
Ok, sounds good. When is this? I'd need to read up on the rules.
Hi,
If I was to plan a walk and wild camp late March, 1-2 nights in the Peak District, would anyone be interested?
Cheers
Rich
Cheers! It's addictive, soon everything I own will have some sort of paracord knot handing off it!
Thought I'd share my first go at a paracord key fob with you all

I was walking west from The Snake Inn along Snake Path winter 2011. Got about just over half way along when the mother of all storms rolled over and bucketed it down. Within a few minutes every...
Yes, upmost respect for MR and the volunteers that keep it going.
I've pulled myself out of a few scrapes over the years, fortunately never had to call them. Touch wood, I never will.
Thanks Sapper, sounds right up my street!
Always picked the tricky ones, call me stupid but wilder the better I say.
Hi,
Has anyone ever camped up at Alport near the small tarn? I've never been there, only seen it from a far. Looks like it might be a good spot for my winter wild camp in a couple of weeks.
...
Thanks both, I've decided to keep the DD. Thanks for the advice!
Looking at getting a silk liner for my sleeping bag, mainly to give me a bit more warmth but also to keep it clean. Any...
