Camping in the Peak District pt4

The weather was variable today so I planned a short circular walk out into the hills and back through Hayfield – see here it shows all the weather in one photo.

It was a good walk the only problem was I could not find a cafe in Hayfield, several pubs and hotels none of them very inviting – all I wanted was tea and a sandwich, so I ended up just walking back to the camp site where I made my own sitting out in the sun shine.

Camping in the Peak District pt3

It is a showery start to the day but managed to eat my breakfast outside the tent. The Hubba tent is really small so I have to be very organised to eat in it – it is much better to be able to get outside and eat.

It was freezing here at about midnight, the grass was crispy as I walked on it and the water on the fly sheet was frozen. This morning there was a dusting of snow in the high ridges I can see from Hayfields Camping and Caravan Club Site. I am planning to go walking today but at the moment the rain has me drinking tea in my tent and blogging!

I had just finished eating my dinner, whilst sitting outside, when there were a few raindrops. By the time I had got my gear inside the tent and had the door closed it was hailing hard.

I had per-packed food this evening, Salmon Moroccan style, with crackers and custard for dessert.

with a mug of tea as well – of course

The food was very good and I will be using these John West lunches on future backpacking trips. They weigh more than noodles but on wild camping trips I will not need to carry any water to rehydrate the meal so saving weight there.
