Rombald's Moor Wild Camp


Here is a map of my wild camp round Rombald's Moor. The route was completed clockwise.

Lots of interesting lessons learned.

1. Gators are godsend. The snow was knee deep in places. The gators kept my feet dry all day.

2. Meths won't light when its cold.

3. Sit on Meths to make it warm then it will burn, yey!

4. Walking poles split into 6 massive pegs to pitch your tent in the snow, however, careful they may freeze solid to the ground.

Practice Snow Pitch

We have had about 8 inches of snow here in West Yorkshire.

Thought it was the perfect opportunity to practice pitching my tent in the snow.

Will try this weekend up higher where the snow is deeper.

Some good snow pitching tips can be found here
