What a pleasure it is to wake up coffee an breakfast before a walk to watch another of your videos patrick brilliant commentary and music scenery gets me motivated ready for another weekend walking yes this weekend peak district the weather will be up to 22 degrees bit odd for October stay safe patrick and thanks for another brilliant video
Funny story Patrick about the woman in the pub! How rude 😮 think I would have said something if she spoke to me like that. Your walk was lovely, glad you chose to avoid the boggy ground it didn't look too good, stunning scenery again 😊 thankyou for taking us along, have a lovely weekend
It was a story I had to tell at some point Steph 😁 I'm glad I avoided the boggy ground too, although disappointed at the same time I missed that part of the route. It is indeed a lovely walk, thanks for watching and commenting. Have a lovely weekend too 👍
Hi Patrick, Thank you again for another wonderful walk such beautiful scenery, glad you didn't go the boggy way. We enjoyed the bit about the woman in the pub. take care regards Dave & Jean
Morning Dave and Jean, pleased you enjoyed the walk again. I'm glad I didn't cross that bog too. Glad you enjoyed the story of the woman in the pub 😊 All the best 👍
Hi Patrick, I’ve done black hill trig point from the Wessenden side but I am definitely going to do this walk! How lovely and Crowden is a place I know quite well. I had an experience should we say with bog a few weeks ago in Helmshore… I was shoulder deep in it and it was a very scary experience but fortunately I was with my sister. So you did the right thing listening to yourself and returning your route. Thanks for a great video 👍🏻
Hi Claire, I know a lot of people have managed that route from Black Hill where I turned back, but yes I didn't want to risk it bearing in mind I was on my own. I would have found it a scary experience too. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Once again, your video is making me want to return to the Dark Peak. This route is possibly my favourite. You seem to quickly lose that road and it feels very remote. I think the story goes that the trig has been left high and dry on that stump as a result of peat erosion. Not sure how much truth there is in that! Thanks for another great video.
Wow! What a stunning walk Patrick. Beautiful location. I do enjoy your films. Shame you had to change your walk. I don't blame you. I wouldn't have walked through that either. See you on the next film. Have a great weekend. 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it Cath, I thought the views from Laddow Rocks were some of the best I've seen in a while. Yes I wasn't happy with crossing that boggy area, but nothing was lost as it was a lovely walk anyway. Have a great weekend too 👍
@@solitaryrambler I agree with you Patrick about the view's definitely work seeing and you had great weather too. Looking forward to your next film. Take care. 👍😊🎥
Hi Patrick..we love your videos...amazing scenery. We are Derbyshire born and bred...just a question about the old hag in the pub 😂...I'm going to have a guess where it is...would it be the Barley mo at kirk Ireton by any chance?...😂....thanks in advance.. Malc and Emma
Thanks Malc and Emma, pleased you have been enjoying them. No it wasn't the Barley Mow. If you want to find out you can message me though my website if you follow the channel description (I don't want to display it publicly in the comments). All the best 👍
Crowden Great Brook is one of my favourite valleys. It's particularly spectacular when Laddow Rocks are approached from across the moor from Chew Reservoir and you arrive at Laddow and the spectacular view suddenly opens out before you, especially in autumn when the valley has hues of red, brown and gold. I presume you were intending to return via Tooleyshaw Moor - a brilliant round walk, so a pity you missed that. I have many happy memories of the whole area there, so many thanks, Patrick, for the film, particularly since we were doing that walk a couple of weeks ago, but it was so hot and humid that day that my asthma was making it difficult for me, and we turned back just before reaching the top of Laddow.
I love this valley, my first time I've actually walked up through it. The views from Laddow Rocks were some of the best I've seen in the Peak District. I was planning to walk back across Tooleyshaw Moor and was disappointed I missed that part of the route. However, I just felt very uncomfortable walking across that mass expanse of bog particularly as I was alone, so I just made that strategic decision to retrace my steps, which was a lovely walk anyway. Glad you enjoyed it Michael, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
A very good walk Patrick. The Laddow Rocks do look really good, and a great accomplishment for you to reach the Black Hill trig point. You had the sense not to take chances through that swamp. About that strange barmaid, it just shows that one of New Mill's famous Love Heart lozenges can put a smile on a sour face! Thank you for this presentation.
It's a lovely walk indeed Ffranc with some of the best views I've seen for a while, but it was a tough one too. I just felt uncomfortable crossing that bog, but I was on my own so I made that decision. That barlady was a strange one, that story had to be told! 😀👍
What a view from Laddow Rocks, I intend to visit after seeing your video. It makes you wonder how all this incredible nature (including us) came to be "out of nothing", in the infinity of space.
It is a beautiful hike Patrick. I went the other way and was taken unawares by that exact point. I was lulled into a false sense of security as it hadn't been that bad anticlockwise. I went in over both knees. I had my lunch on Laddow Rocks and went out from there to Featherbed Moss and Lad's Leap. It certainly is beautiful up there and the views are amazing. Such a shame that the workers were in unmarked graves but sadly that reflected their abilities to pay. But they never leave anyone on top. A fantastic hike and a tough one in points too. Soldier's Lump is a beautiful Trig. Do you think you will ever do it from the other end up through the quarry and Hey Edge Trig?Thanks for sharing Patrick.
I remember watching your video Chris, so in hindsight I would have been better doing this route in the opposite direction, so yes maybe I will do that route one day. However, on this occasion I wanted to walk the Pennine Way northwards as I had been doing that on my last few walks. Laddow Rocks is a great place for a lunch stop, some of the finest views I've seen. It is a shame about the unmarked graves and Soldier's Lump is a great trig. Thanks for watching and commenting Chris, much appreciated 👍
Another great walk & video Patrick, again in the more remote parts. Quite agree on diversions when needed ..We've had to dodge many a field full of inquisitive bullocks during our walks with our dog and had to quickly re-route or turn back ! :o)
Thanks for sharing your walk! I grew up about 10 miles north of here and my mum still lives in the same place. I have just been to Laddow rocks for the first time today so feel like I have being missing on the opportunity to do some amazing walks for many years. it is an amazing place! I didn't go any further than Laddow rocks today as it was pretty hard going and I was short on time but will definitely go back and maybe carry on to chew reservoir next time, it's the second highest in reservoir England. I may try black hill from Digley reservoir at some point and also want to explore the nearby Ramsden clough as that also looks pretty impressive.
Hi Patrick another lovely walk, shame about the bog but better safe than sorry as they say! It looks a beautiful place to walk, hopefully visit one day, however I might need to avoid the ‘hag’ pub! Hilarious!😂 looking forward to the next one! ❤️x
Morning Sylvia, glad you liked the walk. Yes I was disappointed about changing the route, but I certainly wanted to be safe. Glad you enjoyed the hag story! 😊 Thanks as always for watching 👍
We did the same walk early in the year patrick and turned back at black hill like you too. We have since completed the hole walk but we did it the other way round. It's amazing up there. I look forward to watching your videos keep them coming. Robin fran and Hector.
Thanks for your comments and for taking the time to watch. I gather most walkers seem to walk the route in the direction you took, so in hindsight perhaps I should have tried that. Never mind, a lovely route all the same 😀 Thanks again 👍
Interesting you beginning from Crowden. Amazing, we were there only a few weeks ago filming our walk up to Laddow Rocks through Crowden Great Brook Valley. In fact I even recognised the start of Pennine Way, including the plaque you saw of Harry Phillips walker for over 60 years 1980. We enjoyed the same paronamic views as yourself as well as same rocks. We certainly seem to be following each other. Maybe one day will bump into you.! Unfortunately we never made it to the top of those rocks as extremely humid weather made the climbing up affected Michael. Think you did a better job than us! Makes me envious 😊 Well done though. 😊Appropriate atmospheric music to match mood.
Hi Shanita, I'll look forward to seeing your own video of the walk to Laddow Rocks in that case 😀 It's a fab route as you know. I'm sure we will bump into each other at some point! I won't lie though Shanita, I was absolutely exhausted for about three days after completing this walk! It wasn't so much that I ended up doing 11 miles, it was more that it was so rocky and uneven underfoot for so much of the way, which made it very tough. A lovely walk all the same. Thanks for your lovely comments as always 👍
@@solitaryrambler Just to agree about how exhausting that climb up to Ladder Rocks was for us both on an intensely humid day. We had to abort because Michael had breathing problems, hence my envy of you achieving so much.
@@CountrysideWalking Sorry that Michael was suffering on this, best thing for you to do was to abort in that case. I certainly had sore feet for a few days after this! 😀👍
Great vid Patrick... glad you avoided the bog ... I entered into one in Scotland when needing a comfort break . Very scary but i wasnt on my own. Hubby nearby. Anyway it was great lv Ali x
Another amazing video, Patrick. Shame about the service you received in the pub, but at least she did crack a smile I guess. I was on Stanage Edge a week or two ago, and me and my friend had come up Long Causeway from Redmires Reserviors. We did a little of Stanage and headed back toward Long Causeway on a different path, across the moorland and it was boggy and tough going then! My friend was OK but I found it difficult and tough going, especially as it was uneven and the moorland grass was knee high. Still, it made for a good walk🚶♂️
Thanks as always Jamie, glad you liked the video. Yes that barlady was one in a million! 😀 I love the walk along Long Causeway to Stanage, but yes when it gets too boggy I get very wary. All the best 👍
You must be the fittest man on earth, 10 mile walk, i only have a walk to shop and back and im jiggered lol! Loved where you sat eating your lunch, that wispy grass looked absolutely beautiful, i used to call this grass honey grass as a child as one of our neighbours had loads of this grass in the back garden and i loved it waving in the wind! Ps i thought bar maids supposed to be pretty 😅, great story that it made me laugh!
I must admit I was cream crackered for several days after this 😊 It ended up being 11 miles, but it was mainly the terrain that made it a tough walk, very rocky underfoot. It was indeed a lovely spot to eat lunch, just to watch the world go by. That barmaid was amazing, she might have been pretty once, but her sour face made her look the opposite! 😊👍
I did laugh in a good way Patrick at your excitement in getting up into that valley. Yeah, it's exhilarating to be in such places and it was proven even more so on top. For sure a great view. Ha, miserable people actually want to rule with their misery Patrick - if they can alter your composure then they are relieved. But you guys had walked and nothing was going to stop the upward trend. Well the upward trend of this walk continued - no bog bashing today but beautiful meander down to the hostel. Yeah, a lovely extended walk. Makes me wanna get up into the Black Mountains. Thanks Patrick - have a great week ahead. Mark
I was definitely excited getting up this valley Mark. It was awesome and I felt very exhilarated despite my deciding to retrace my steps back to Crowden, so I ended up getting those amazing views twice in the end 😊 Yeah I don't understand the misery of some people, but it was so good when Lou actually made that woman just crack a smile when she offered her a sweet! 😂 Hope you get up into the Black Mountains soon Mark. We're getting some real autumn weather at last now, so the best time for walking in my opinion. All the best as always Mark 👍
@@solitaryrambler Ha, twice - getting greedy Patrick. Re-the sweet small things can melt a person alright. It just takes the right spirit. As for the Black Mountains - yeah I'll be up there soon - been itching to do a walk and Autumn will be nice.
Laddow Rocks was fantastic. I don't actually think I've seen that area before. I'm not surprised you gave the bogs a miss. Better to be safe than sorry and you live to walk another dah. That walk was very pleasant and some great views. A lot of walking again for you though. That pub must lose a lot of custom. She sounds awful. With an attitude like that she should not be in customer services. My guess is that it occurred in Castleton. You will have to pay her a visit on your next boys night out real ale excursion 😁I watch Lou and Lols channel, so i look forward to watching that group walk. Cheers Patrick, it's always a joy to watch.
The views from Laddow Rocks are some of the best I've seen for some time, just incredible. I wasn't happy with crossing that boggy area, so yes better to be safe than sorry. It was 11 miles in all so one of the longest walks I've filmed. It was the rocky terrain that made it tough rather than the distance to be honest, but I'd do that walk again like a shot. Funnily enough two of my previous ale trips have been to that pub in question, but the occasion with Lou and Lol was the first time I've seen that woman there. It wasn't Castleton though. Thanks as always Kelly for watching and your continued support 👍

Many thanks for the kind words Paul. Glad you enjoyed the walk. Yes let's enjoy this unusual October weather they are promising 😀👍
Beautiful scenery. I am sure it was a wise decision to retrace your steps. Thank you again for a wonderful walk. 🤩
I felt it was wise at the time Angus, but it was a great walk all the same. Thanks for watching 👍

The views are amazing on this walk, thanks Mick for watching and commenting 👍
Love the beautiful view from Laddow Rocks. Thanks for sharing, Patrick!
You are very welcome Richard, thanks for watching 👍

This was a wonderful walk and one of the most remote I've done in a while. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍
Great walk and Views up there are amazing, loved the pub story 😂, can be a bit sketchy up there so glad u made it safely 👍
Thanks Jay, I know you'll be familiar with this area, it was sketchy indeed but a fab walk all the same. Glad you enjoyed the pub story! 👍😂
Fantastic walk Patrick, walked up there myself twice, I’d say it’s in my top five Peak District walks, thanks again Matty
Glad you enjoyed it Matty, yes it's great route. Thanks for watching 👍
