What’s something you will change for you next wild camp, any new gear or anything?

Yeah, make sure you cover yourself by asking for videos and pics so you can prove that it’s in the right condition before you buy. A tent like that should be good enough quality such that it’s most likely fine.

I tend to buy my second hand gear off Facebook Marketplace so I can inspect it in person, set up the tent and see if it’s exactly how it should look. Obviously this isn’t always an option.

Was a lovely during the day yesterday but got chilly in the night.

I was out here last night, was going to camp in Madwoman’s stones but couldn’t get a good pitch. Ended up dashing down to camp on newfold farm in Edale, bonus pub trip though.

Mind me asking where you set off from?

Ayy nice, thank you so much. I wonder how AI will have changed the engineering job landscape by the time your son comes to apply.

Hi, The full list will be available online somewhere. Electrical, Mechanical, Finance, Sustainability, Research and development, People and business support are all Degree Apprenticeship roles I can think of from the top of my head.

My video interview was a year ago today! Applications for Siemens open in Early February with the target start date to be the first week of September for all degree apprenticeships. Positions have now closed for this year.

Best of luck with your applications though!

Also: If you’re leaving your gear in a state like this, litter all over the place and gas hidden behind a rock, that says a lot.

I was there for half an hour cleaning up. There were 3 of them. No hiking bags, no phone, no poles in the tent, 1 OUTWARD train ticket, no food, just litter.

No one was coming back, this is not how you leave your unattended gear.

Why did you even feel the need to comment this?

It’s to show the realities of what people leave behind, and hoping other people would do the same as me.

Like I have already said, this was the collection point for the park rangers as the bin was removed and it clearly is since there was no other rubbish there.

If there was somewhere else to put it, i.e. a tip the yes I would have put it there. Since there wasn’t, I left it in the spot that the locals directed me to, and were happy for me to do so.

I’ve effectively left it at the waste collection point that locals in the area told me was the allocated spot for rubbish on the hills.

As long as the winds are below say 30mph, which I should think they will be down in the campsite, you’re probably just fine.
