Another cracking walk there Duncan. I'm full of admiration for you sticking (not literally thankfully) through them bogs. Gilderdale looked absolutely amazing. Thanks for making the difficult hike to get there and film it for us! 😃 All the best 👍
Thanks, to me personally they looked worse than they actually were, I find it easier to just to a slow zigzag route through rather than try to plow through it in a straight line 😉. Guilderdale is indeed a beautiful isolated valley, I may plan on returning there soon 😊
Hi, Duncan Baxter. Indeed, the panoramic view is stunning, with no PPL but an endless field.1:55 I am not familiar with the history of this area. Any insight about Tom Smiths Stone? History? OMG, is this land you will be hiking? 7:43 Yes, how peaceful to listen to the waterfall. 3:56 What do you mean by the wards hard to get to this waterfall? Is it worth it? Like your selection of music paring with the film as well. superb. Thank you.
Thanks, yes no other people around is a very common feature of the North Pennines, I can do a full 10hr hike without seeing a single person. Tom Smiths Stone is an old boundary marker of Cumberland, Westmorland (which is now Cumbria) and Northumberland, basically where the 3 used to meet. For the waterfall (I am assuming you mean Woldgill Force), it was at the bottom of a steep sided crag, very difficult to get to and out of. Thank yoi for the music comment, the music is specifically done for this particular video and is not found on any other sites. 😊
Thanks, although the videos never do it justice Guilderdale is quite impressive in size, off the beaten track appears very remote yet a main road is less than a mile away 😉
Thanks, life has been a little hectic for me at the moment but hopefully I now have more time to devote to videos. The music at 9 mins doesn't have a specific name, just comes under the title 'Black Fell' 😊
Hi, I didn't see any bothy structures near the tops, just a large sheepfold at Grey Nag. There was something that looked a little like a hut in Gilderdale near some grouse butts but both it and the butts looked like they had been abandoned some time ago 😮
Had a nice little run out in the North Pennies today! Waskely, Stanhope, Rookhope, Blanchland.. Stayed in the car mind.. What exactly are those little white sticks you see everywhere poking out from the heather? Always wondered 😊. An other great vid Duncan! 👍🏻
@@DuncanBaxter without giving to much away shall we just say you were in the vicinity 🤔 it's a good few year since I visited it so more of them N/P winters will have took their toll on the structure. I did later wild camp on the gilderdale burn when walking Issac's tea trail over 2 days. keep them coming👍
Thanks, it is a lovely area to run around in if you want to focus your thoughts whilst clocking up the miles 😊 Pretty sure the whilte sticks are where grouse feeding stations are normally situated, you will normally find a plastic tray next to them etc, I could be wrong though 😉
Nice one Duncan 👍
Thanks, definitely a different experience this time round 😊

Good to see you out again Duncan. Love those vast open views. Those river valleys make for a different experience too. Cheers.

Great to see you back Duncan, always look forward to your walks out. Could I ask what's that music at 9 minutes into the video?

@@DuncanBaxter cheers Duncan
As ever BRAVO!
Thanks, it was a good day up there and the bog wasn't too bad, still lovely to be out in the area 🙂
Did the very old delapidated bothy come into your view Duncan?
