Loved this! If you find yourselves in Cornwall, then Botallack Mines is an impressive site, and quite eerie! Also, the camel trail disused railway is a nice walk, as well as Rough Tor, and Helman Tor for some good stomps and rock formations.
we really enjoy yr videos especially as we have visited most of the places in derbyshire where we live. Great minds think alike as we also end up walking through nettles and thick undergrowth looking at obscure stonework. A recommended walk is around the village of Ashover, between Matlock and Chesterfield. Lots of history, the light railway still has visible earthworks, the lovely Abrahams Bridge and walk along the stream to Fallgate, the remains of rails there, the railway earthworks carry on towards Dalebank, then around to Overton Hall (with remains of minehead stock and connections to Sir Joseph Banks) up to Cocking Tor with mine chimney along to Goss Hall, walking on old worn packhorse stone track then down to Butts Quarry. There's lots of information online about the railway and the village itself.
Hayup Gareth, just after 8 minutes in there's a few strong darker green lines visible perhaps a trackway? Where those sleepers stone, at the beginning the anchorage clamps looked broadly distanced broad gauge big tubs? at 8.06 looking beyond the well built gunpowder room ( I guess you'd want it bullit proof !) there's a square sunken room building or wall? it's on the back right. Nicely built Cornish engine room, straight roads around there, an what a story, Stomp Stackin is that a new genre?! Cheers

Oh that sounds fantastic. There are lime kilns there too aren't there?
yes some off Hockley Lane from the Hockley Quarry and some at Fallgate on Jetting Street with the old tracks still visible@@IckeWalks
I’d like to have a twenty-foot friend ;) Thanks for the sights of these sites, with the music.
Haha. Cheers mate

That's a great shout. Maybe there was a railway!
Nice one Gareth, very interesting :)
Thank you.
Nice one. I actually spent a day in that area 2 years ago making videos, filmed this place whilst up there, got home, and the footage had shot it!
Mate, that's a killer. Happened to me at Alton towers on that walk. Head in hands job.
Definitely looked cold out there.
It was!!
