Location : Ramtree Moss , Whernside, Yorkshire Dales

This is one of my favourite last-minute camp locations that I only really use when I’m confident its going to be a clear free evening.

It’s a great location in either summer or winter, though be careful driving up to the start point if there is ice/snow on the roads as road up often isn’t gritted.

The hike up is short and sweet, the location offers excellent panoramic views and it’s far from the 3 peaks crowds that plague the eastern side of Whernside. I’ve always has this site entirely to myself, which I love!
