Peak District Hike & Camp: Edale Skyline with an Ultralight Backpacker

Big thank you to Ultralight Outdoor Gear for supporting us in 2026 https://geni.us/UltralightOutdoorGear What do you think. Should I swap tents with Andy 😂. check it out here. https://geni.us/UOGHyperlitemid1 https://www.messner.co.uk WIN a FULL WILD CAMPING SETUP I set out with my mate Andy to hike the Edale skyline in the Peak District, expecting a straightforward route, but the intense heat quickly had us searching for a water source. Our detour led us down a challenging scramble right as the heavens opened, leaving us completely soaked by the time we found a spot to pitch our tents. To top it off, a strict fire ban meant no stoves, so I had to settle for a soggy, cold-soaked porridge dinner before bedding down for the night! I've started sharing my routes over on Hiiker.
