I Risked The Roaches In Fog... For Vanlife!

The Roaches in thick fog probably wasn’t quite what I had in mind… 😂 In this episode of Griffer the Campervan, I take the campervan to The Roaches in the Peak District for a walk through some seriously dense fog. I park up at The Winking Man pub near Upper Hulme, a great Peak District stop for campervans and motorhomes, before heading out on foot towards The Roaches. The Roaches is one of the Peak District’s best-known walking and hiking locations, famous for its dramatic gritstone rocks, rocky trails and spectacular views across Staffordshire. Except today, those views are proving slightly difficult to find. Using AllTrails to navigate my Peak District walk, I head into the mist to explore... but can I stay on route?? 😬😂 With the landscape disappearing into the fog, The Roaches takes on a completely different character. It feels less like a Peak District hike and more like I’ve wandered into Jurassic Park. 🦖 If you enjoy campervan adventures, campervan trips, UK vanlife, motorhome travel, Peak District walks, hiking, walking trails, pub stopovers, scenic drives and exploring the British countryside, you’re in the right place. ------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro and The Winking Man Park-Up 01:27 Campervan at The Roaches 04:23 Misty Woods and Giant Boulders 06:13 Roaches Ascent 10:50 Cliff Edges 11:55 The Doxey Pool 21:00 300 Million Years Old! 24:45 Trig Point! 28:12 Doxey Pool Again! 29:37 Next Time ------- Thanks for watching, and if you enjoy the adventure, subscribe to Griffer the Campervan for more campervan and vanlife adventures around the UK. #TheRoaches #PeakDistrict #Campervan #vanlife #solovanlife
