That is nice you only work 2 days. Boy it is cold there. Where I am we rarely are minus. It is in the 40's today. We don't have bad winters in Colorado. I didn't know he took down the abbys that is so sad. Thank you for visiting our channel. The time you spent watching our video is appreciated. You rock.
Thank you very much for watching and your real nice comment. I am real lucky to only work 2 days, something I am grateful for, cheers Alan
6 more years and I am retiring. I hope
I love Yorkshire….. what a beautiful hike all over again… Last day of freedom…. hahahaha.. but working two days a week is amazing.… OK, we don't work anymore… I mean, we work a lot but not in a job! Shorts when it is so cold… only in GB…. hahahaha… not us Portuguese! The river flows really fast… reminds me of Switzerland! Maybe the guy smashed the abbeys because he was so frustrated with so many women around him???? Who knows… That abbey must have been incredible! Thanks for sharing so much with us… Especially those like me, who are too lazy to hike anyway.
Thanks very much for watching and I have been doing this walk since I was a kid, as it is only about 15 miles away from home. Its always a favorite walk for us. Cheers Alan
What a lovely path to spend your last day of freedom on! The Abbey looks like a great place to explore. Love the story of the drummer boy! Money does grow on trees, lol!
I always knew it lol. Thanks very much for watching and a walk and a place I have been going to for years, cheers Alan
wow, beautiful ruin! I LOVE the castle! So much history and such great scenery! I love the autumn colors

Yes, she was my advance guard lol. It was a lovely day to be out, especially mid-week. Thank you so much for watching, cheers Alan
Oh wow what a story! Poor boy! Thanks for sharing this hike and telling the drummer boy story!
Yeah it's a shame what those kids had to go through in them days but makes a real good story. Thanks very much for stopping by Cheers Alan
Alan METALMAN - Outdoors Oh and I forgot to mention, you sending Mrs. Metalman ahead to scare off the cows was hilarious!
I was so happy to see the architecture that was so precious as I watched your video.
In the past, when King Henry was a monastery was very impressive.
The trail next it is was full of really romantic feelings, and the lake was a wonderful place to meet down the stairs next to the trail.
So wonderful video.
Thank you for watching and your very nice comment, which I really appreciate. This is a walk I have been doing since I was a child and still enjoy doing it, cheers Alan
love to see squirrels wheather grey or red on any walk alan and some wonderful autumn colours on them trees cheers nigel
I love this time of the year Nigel, when the sun is out and a canny nip in the air - bootiful! Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Incredible to see those old buildings and all the stone houses. Watch out for those cows Alan 😂 Great hearing the drummer boy story again. Thanks brother 🤘🏼
Thanks Doug and I wondered if anyone remembered it from the last time I told it lol. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Glad to hear you are back on your feet, Alan! The fall colors were very impressive! Enjoyed the history lesson - so sad it was damaged. Poor dummer boy too...
Yes, a sad tale, which I first heard as a kid, which is one of the reasons I took up the guitar and not the drums lol. Thanks very much for watching and commenting, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Wow, it's so beautiful there! That was a very fast river! Love all the history and the drummer boy story. Thanks for taking us along!

You just combined several of my favourite things in this video - beautiful scenery, old ruins, and a fun historical story. Top marks for this video! :)
That's very nice of you to watch and comment, very much appreciated and a walk I have been doing since I was a kid, cheers Alan
Good hike and enjoyed hearing the legend as well, poor kid. Very beautiful there.

A great hike and story Alan, still got some beautiful colours too! 👍👍👍
Thanks Anthony and it was real nice to see so much colour left on the trees. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Another great video Alan, stunning Autumnal colours on your wander. I spent a week camping next to the Abby when I was a in the boy's brigade as a kid. I remember hearing about the drummer boy in ghost stories we were being told on a night time. Thanks for sharing buddy. 👍👍
Aw nice one and I bet that was a brilliant place to have a camp as well. Nothing better on a camp that a bit of a spooky stories as well, especially if someone started banging a drum in the middle of the night! Thank you very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely walk, Alan...picturesque and those stone buildings are so quaint! Autumn is my fave. Great old legend. Glad you’re out and about!
Thanks very much for watching and commenting, real nice of you. A very famous legend down in these parts, which I was told as a kid. Cheers Alan
I do love your fisheye transitions Alan! It looks rather chilly. What a fabulous place! It is lovely to see Mrs Metalman as well :-) - ATB Julia
Thanks Julia and it's a place we have been going for years and nice and local as well, which is nice. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
What a really nice and colorful walk. Love the old English architecture. You still had some fall, autumn colors going on there. This is the kind of hike that would have taken me all day. Too many place to stop and get video. LOL. Another really nice video Alan. Have a great week, and glad to see you back at it.
Thanks very much for stopping by Lance and it's a walk I have been doing since I was a kid and still love it today, never get sick of it and always something different to see, cheers Alan
Wow Alan, the local trail is beautiful. Have fun back at work. Take care!
Thank you very much and got to say it was tough going back to work after 6 weeks off lol. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Hi there Alan, great chat and a lovely autumnal walk! Glad you’re keeping well😎👍
Thanks very much for watching Simon, cheers Alan
Beautiful autumn walk that mate, that river was flowing very fast, I remember you telling the drummer boy story, sad tale. Them ruins of the Abbey still look amazing, that's an awesome walk full of history and Beautiful scenery, really enjoyed the video mate, all the best 👍
Haha, I wondered if anyone could remember me telling that storyol. I first heard it when I was a kid, famous story in these parts. Thanks for watching Gaz, cheers Alan
Enjoyed watching Alan - like 44 with a full view as always - good to see you out and about

Great story, love a historical tale, adds something to the area you visit! Nice one Alan, regards Adam 👍
Thanks Adam, very nice of you to watch and comment, cheers Alan
Beautiful walk Alan... Love the old abbey , would love to explore that ! The Mrs has good taste in walks! 👍😀
Aye, it's one of her favourites and nice and local, only about 20 minutes from home. Thanks for watching Max and I hope your knee is on the mend, cheers Alan
Looks brilliant buddy nice place really fresh love days like this
Aye, it was canny and a walk I have been doing since I was a kid. Appreciate you watching, cheers Alan
Looks like a awesome place my friend big like
Been going there since I was a kid John, nice and local for us and a favourite walk as well. Appreciate you stopping by buddy, cheers Alan
Nice walk Alan. Love rivers and the sound of water. Good luck going back to work. I'm talking early retirement next year figures crossed. Thanks Steve.
We both took voluntary redundancy and early retirement at 55, which was the best decisions we have ever made but I got too much energy to do nothing. Two days a week is perfect for me. Thanks very much for watching and fingers crossed for your retirement, cheers Alan
Very nice area great scenery
Real nice of you to watch and take the time to comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Wow ... I really commend you for getting out there and facing that cold.
The good thing is it is nice and local and there was a pub with a big open fire at the end of the walk lol. Thank you for stopping by, cheers Alan
Beautiful walk and autumn colors Alan, and the Abbey & Church look lovely.... I would stop there for sure (I love architecture)! And I always take advantage of the kissing gates with my Englishman too ;) What a sad story that Drummer Boy legend is. There is one of those money "tree" logs at Aire Force too. That was the first time I had seen one of those. Thank you for sharing this lovely walk - great video as usual! Cheers :)))
Thanks very much for watching and your kind words and I have seen that one at Aira Force as well lol. Cheers Alan
Looks another nice walk Alan. Never been down that way, good to see there was still plenty of Autumn colours in the trees. Interesting story about the drumner boy. Cheers. Eddie.
Nice and local for us Eddie, only about 20 minutes away and a famous story down here regarding the drummer boy. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Good stuff Alan, looks a nice little walk, thanks for sharing 👍
Been doing it since I was a kid and I still enjoy it there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
nice one Alan, a grand walk that, no matter what the season.
Done it in all seasons Andy and since I was a nipper as well, nice and local for us too. Thanks so much for watching, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Lovely walk Alan, that river was seriously fast flowing, you could almost surf on it! Fantastic stone buildings. Loving your MTP combat jacket Alan. Nice spot down by the river in the woods, that would be ace for wild camping. Lee
I bought it on holiday in Dorchester, in the summer for £30, real bargain and I love it. Thanks very much for watching Lee, cheers Alan
Theres some wonderful place on our doorstep Alan .
To true Terry and I have been going there since I was a nipper and still enjoy it. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Great hike! Love all the stone ruins you have over there. Interesting story about the drumming boy. I'd say we send Mrs. Metalman to go down and check it out, but I think she'd volunteer you instead!
Ha, I think you would be right as well lol! Appreciate you stopping by Josh, real nice of you, cheers Alan
That looked a lovely walk through the woods Alan , but a sad tale about the drummer boy . ATB Dave...
Thanks for watching Dave and so true mate. Cheers Alan
nice refreshing walk
Aye it was that, although to be fair, for the time of year, it was not too bad. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Interesting story Alan, nice looking walk 👍
Aye, canny, always enjoy it there and been going there since I was a nipper. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers Alan
That’s an interesting but horrifying story. Poor fella 😬
Yes, it makes you wonder what them kids had to go through. Thank you so much for watching, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
This is an interesting video and very informative.

Great old history stuff! ;)
Cheers buddy & greetings Marco & Racoon
Thank you very much, very nice of you to say so and real nice that you have watched and taken the time to comment. Cheers Alan
Great video mate - I envy your audio! Great to see you out and about and back on your feet properly! I always love that Abbey - I definitely think a Metalman stealth camp is in order there.............
Haha, thanks Chris and it is supposed to be haunted by the ghost of the Drummer Boy.Appreciate you taking the time to watch buddy, cheers Alan
wow all those coins in the tree
Thanks for watching and yes, my granddaughter wanted me to pull them all out lol, cheers Alan

Sometimes I wish for summer everyday when we have a cold wet day but when you get a sunny, colourful day, I love it. Thanks for watching and commenting, cheers Alan
Lovely walk there Alan. The Abbey was beautiful and that money tree. Enjoyed that! Hope your first day back at work went ok. Atvb to you P& A.
I went from nice gental 40 minute walks for 6 weeks to 10 mile a day and it was real tough. Into my second week now and it's getting better, thank goodness lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hellllo there Alan in Yorkshire💜 glad you’re getting back to it... looking good dear! Eerie legend! Beautiful Autumn (Fall😂) colors
I love the colors at this time of year and a very famous story in these parts. Thanks for stopping by, cheers Alan
Six weeks already, Alan? Good to see you doing so well and hopefully the return to the routine won't arrive too hard or too fast. I did like that footpath crossing the back garden - always a special sight, those! All the best.
Thanks Olly and those 6 weeks dragged over for me lol. Appreciate you watching buddy, cheers Alan
Beautiful stroll there sir! That is a cool story of the drummer boy! And a little creepy lol. Sounds like a great movie that could spin horror movie. We are down south again this winter so we won't get your cooler temps as much, but glad you are getting out there! Best of luck getting back to work! - Shane
Thanks Shane and got to be honest, it was tough getting back to work, even though I only do 2 days. I have been doing that walk since I was a kid and still enjoy it today. Appreciate you stopping by buddy, cheers Alan
Cool upload here Alan Nice one
Thanks very much for watching and a hike I have been doing sine I was a kid, always enjoy it, cheers Alan
A Buddy, lives close by and I just watched a couple of his easby videos
AWESOME PLACE.... spirits linger there. Such a very old place! Would be grand to see it in all its glory.
Love hearing the story and learning history!
I dont have a big bucket list... but Scotland & UK ...& Sweden are on my list.
Thanks for this stroll today!
Has to be a favorite of mine.
Side note: 1 of my ancestors was a famous american war drummer boy, walt disney did a movie about him
Johnny Clem....(Johnny Shiloh) cant remember the name of the old movie. But ya can google it. Hahaa!! He was quite a distinguished American soldier....still today.
Wow, so you got some history there as well. I have been doing this walk since I was a kid, as it is only 15 miles from where we live and the Drummer Boy story is real famous in these parts. Thanks so much for stopping by Dee and have a very Merry Christmas, cheers Alan
I love your beanies Alan - this one was cool. I gotta say I have a video of how to navigate a field full of cows. That might be one for you. Ha ha! Good walk mate - I remember the Drummer boy. All the best. Mark
Haha, I wondered if anyone had remembered I had told this story before, I first heard it when I was a kid. Appreciate you watching Mark, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN Yeah I remembered. A pleasure to watch especially with that super cool beanie.
Great vid 👍
Thanks very much for watching and commenting, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Beautiful wet walk :p hope you get to the lakes soon :)
Thanks for watching and I was there yesterday, man it was cold but as long as you did not slip or fall it was OK - shame I did both lol! Cheers Alan
I went on the North Yorkshire cub quest drummer boy trail in 1989
Oh nice one, I remember taking my granddaughter for the first time and telling her the story and she was absolutely fascinated, I had to tell it to her again and again, she loved it so much. Thanks very much for watching, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Brought back some fantastic memories, thank you so much.
Great video Alan i always like a good history lesson. even on the marginal days you live in a beautiful place !
atb john
Thanks John, nice of you and the whole area there is steeped in historic stories and old ruins. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Would have been nice to see it back before it was ruined. Bloody Tudors! Hey the coin stump was cool.
A fantastic sight to behold indeed, it nice now but you git to use your imagination lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Back to work! Did you say you walk 10 or 11 miles a day? That's really good. I'm quite jealous. I could use that amount of exercise and outdoors time. I always appreciate the history the most. It's my favorite subject and I especially hearing stories and seeing places I had no idea even existed, because of my own shortcomings. Some history from North Yorkshire is appreciated. It's interesting -- but harsh. Take care.
Yep, 10 to 11 miles on both days, as I am a school caretaker, covering 2 big schools, so I am constantly walking back and forward between them, which I enjoy. Lots of history and old ruins in the North of England Rocky. Thanks very much for watching and commenting buddy, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Nice walk! But that was a sad story about the drummer boy.
Yes, it is a sad tale indeed and I remember hearing it when I was a kid. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
We are in fall or autumn here as well. Winter is fast approaching though 👎☠
Fall is great, winter not so good here, roll on summer lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow, amazing walk, Alan! Easby Abbey looks like a fascinating and beautiful place. Happy Christmas - Mary and Harry 🎄🎄 ⛄⛄ 🎁 🎁 🎁 🎁
Thank you both very much for watching, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
