You are looking beautiful amazing beautiful views nice hiking good video thanks for sharing my dear friend ❤
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
Oh my, what an absolutely beautiful place. I love the rock walls. Oh! Snakes! Be careful. Fish and chips 😋 You earned it 🙂 Glad you made it down okay. Thank you for taking us along and have a great week!
Thanks very much for stopping by and it was so nice to get a dry sunny morning for a change, such a shame it only lasted till dinner time but at least I kept dry eating my fish n chips in the car, cheers Alan
Hello Alan, looks a lovely sunny morning. Yes have to make the most of the weather for sure. It looks absolutely beautiful. The sky looks beautiful too. Wow the rocks are amazing. Oh wow snakes. Nice fish and chips will be well deserved. Take care x Julie and Tony x
It was a real nice morning, only problem was it was due to rain by dinner time and it did as well :o(. Still, I made the most of it and really enjoyed the walk out, especially as I have been wanting to do this for for ages. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
1:15 Okay .... Let's go ..... 4:25 A little outside of my line of vision .....5:12 Aye yi yi ...... yi yi .......... 6:30 That look's amazing ..... 8:10 I love it .....R.I.P. ROBBIE
Yes, a bit of a sad way to end the hike but good to know his memory lives on and I was sure grateful for a rest on the way down. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Indeed, midweek hiking is the best to keep away from crowds. More enjoyment taking in all those fantastic views without all the chatter of others. Wow, stones to walk on and no wet feet, that's a bonus for sure! Good decision to take in the beauty of the day. Have yourself a great week and maybe the gift of rain from America will miss you on Easter.
I sure hope so as it has been non stop rain every since I shot this last week and the same ahead for the coming week, man what is going on with the weather. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
That view above the Moors is amazing! Bummer about the evening rains...but loved that blue sky, with Simpson clouds and rolling green hills...way to rock it.
Glad you enjoyed it and a fun morning out, just such a shame the rains came back at dinner time or I would have hiked a lot further. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow 😲 what a lovely and beautiful Car park 🏞️ and a very beautiful nature around here, am your new friend here, stay safe and God bless you 😊❤️💐💖🌹🤗
Thanks for visiting, real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Really enjoyed that hike out. Lovely day for it. Cracking video. Thanks for taking me along.
Glad you enjoyed it and it was such a nice early morning, such a shame the rain came back with a vengeance by dinner time but thankfully, I had just got back to the car. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Fantastic landscape Alan with spectacular views. Beautiful day and the colors are so vivid. Here in Croatia, there are also several poisonous species of snakes and we hikers must be careful👍
I never knew you also has poisonous snakes over there too. I saw my first one last year when it was only a friend shouting that stopped me standing on it, real scary. It was a real nice morning out only spoilt by the fact the rain was due to fall by dinner time. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
That view from the top is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing..
No matter how many times I am up on the Moors (I have been going since I was a kid) I never get sick of those views up there, just wish the rain had not come as I had intended to walk further along. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
The views from this hike is so pretty! What a stunning scenery 😍Awesome video my friend!
Thank you very much! Real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Love the great oppe landscapes. So beautiful to watch 😊😊😊
Only saw one other person all morning, so as well as great views I had total peace and quiet as well. Thanks very much for watching
What a beautiful day Alan...great day for a walk maybe not so much for the drone though...I don't blame you for taking it right down...I wouldn't want to lose it in the winds...the rocks are lovely but not so much for walking...such a lovely place to be! Thanks for taking us along!
You were right about the wind Donna, it was far too strong for the drone, I did try but as soon as it went up, I brought it right back down again. I have waited and waited for years to get one, so I do not want to lose it on its second flight lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hello from Naples, Florida. The views there are just amazing. We enjoyed your hike. Thanks for sharing with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤
Thank you! You too! Real nice of you to stop by, really appreciate it, cheers Alan
The route you could see opposite leads to round hill.if you carry on to the old railway line and turn left steeply to the bottom of the valley and then follow the undulating path back to the car park. Roughly an 8 mile circular walk.
That sounds a perfect loop trail and one I sire will look at next time I am up in that area. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
A beautiful place my friend.. Interesting place as well.
Thanks for visiting Max and another one of these places just over 30 minutes away from home, yet that was my first ever visit - crazy! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan! Lots of space in the car park! I called my first few cars 'Lucy'...until I named my daughter that! 😂 It was originally one of my nicknames. It was very interesting to learn how the Wains got their name. You were certainly lucky with the weather. The views were just fabulous. Thank you for taking us along with you. Have a great week ~ Julie & Lucy ❤❤
Thanks very much for watching and there was a 5 hour window of opportunity with the weather, which I took but it was back to the normal heavy rain by dinner time unfortunately. Thankfully, I was back in 'The Beast' and eating a very large fish n chips by then lol, cheers Alan
So goods
A good morning out but a shame the rain came by dinner time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awesome that you had the place to yourself. One of my favorite kinds of adventure. We get people passing us on the trail all the time too. LOL. We get big changes in the weather in the Spring as well. Sunny, then snow, ice, then melt, cold, hot, repeat. Crazy stuff. Snakes, no problem, just watch out for those cows. Haha. I almost lost my drone in the wind more than once. I got lucky. Nice hike. Beautiful views in a beautiful area. Heck yeah. Have a great day.
Never had such a wet start to the year before in living memory, I only hope that means a long, dry and sunny summer lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Legend!
Haha, thanks very much, good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Haha, I couldn't see the Beast! 😂😂😂 Think he is too small... from that great view on the Mountain.
Oach... snakes! Not liking them. Don't want to be bitten either, cause I am probably allergic. Know how I be already from 🐝 and mosquitos!
Happy you had great weather. Today we had heavy rain with big snow flakes in it!
Have a wonderful start of next week and cheers! 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
It was a really nice morning out and I could have walked for miles and miles mire but it was forecasted heavy rain at dinner time and it did just that. Thankfully, I was back in the car then and eating a large fish n chips then lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Like 123 👍 💯 ❤
Big thanks :o)
Awesome hike and incredible views. Thanks for sharing, Alan.
Glad you enjoyed it and real good of you to stop by John, cheers Alan
An old fav, having grown up in the area. ❤ You could walk over from lord stones for a longer walk. Using lower forest track to do a figure of 8
Funny enough, I had intended to walk from Lordstones and then do an out and back but the forecast say rain by dinner time, which was right by the way, so I cut it shorter but still, a real nice morning out. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
well done 👍💥🎈
Thank you! Cheers Alan
Magnificent views on top. Rock formations are always beautiful too. I didn’t like to hear about the Adders, seems like it would be too cold for a cold blooded snake. I think I would enjoy a plate of Fish and Chips from your country. Spring has arrived here in South Carolina and the days are great. I plan on getting my EBike out soon to start riding. Thanks again for sharing your great videos. Keep hiking.
Oh I would love an EBike but they are real expensive here. I used to have a mountain bike for years but got rid of it about 10 years ago and always regretted it. Not a fan of snakes and only seen on poisonous one last year and that was one too many for me. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Fantastic video thank you for sharing. Have a nice time
Thank you! You too. Real good of you to watch and comment, cheers Alan
Great hike Alan some cool views but the history of the area was fab to know too 🤠👍
It’s usually the last minute decision adventures that are the best in the end 👍
Have a fab week mate
Simon 🤠🙏🏼
I just saw a few hors window of opportunity and went for it, real pleased I did as the weather has been pants since but surely bright skies must be on the horizon. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I enjoy watching this beautiful and amazing scenery of the place for hiking thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Epic indeed Alan, panoramic views are just spectacular! Here in the Balkans there are more poisonous snakes, while in Sweden there is only one, just like in England.
never knew you had an poisonous snake over there and I have only ever seen ours once, last year when I nearly stepped on one - dam scary! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow, your hike looks amazing! Those views from the Wainstones are breathtaking 😍. I'm so glad you enjoyed the walk! I was on the edge of my seat with the adder story - I wouldn't have wanted to encounter one of those! 🐍. Thanks for sharing the history of the place too, I had no idea about the battle. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you stopping by. A place I have wanted to visit for ages and this was the perfect opportunity before the rain back in again. Cheers Alan
Great work thanks for sharing keep it up l hope we always communicate 🛎👈🎁👉👀👍🌺🤲🤲🌹🌷
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
So beautiful nature !!
Thank you for sharing !
From Japan motorcycle tourer !
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
That was a gorgeous morning Alan.
And a spectacular walk. The Wainstones look brilliant
Yes, Adders will be coming out now.
The Walking pole is a godsend to me these days. 😃
Bet those fish and chips tasted good.
They were superb and well needed as well, I had an early breakfast lol. I would not go out without my walking poles now, I fought against using them for years but had to give in at the end, just wish I had used them earlier, saved a lot of wear and tear on my knees. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN yep me too mate.
Oh, good choice to get the drone down. Wind ain't a friend of ours tiny flying friends. Plenty time to get some airtime. Great video. All the best ❤
Too right, I was maybe foolish for even trying but so wanted to get some footage from there but it is not going anywhere and I will be back. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, indeed. the weather is gorgeous and the winds was easy at first
It gave us pleasure to see you hike in this spring weather.
Ooops no thanks to snakes hahah. Actually, I encounter 2 black snakes this past weekend. I thought they are sunbathing, but I guess there was another purpose...We just watch out in low bushes and stay on the trails. I did enjoy the story about the destination and the historic Whinstones that are appealing. The panoramic view gives me goosebumps...wow. Sorry about not to be able to fly your drone. The safety comes first. haha You don't want to crash it against those large stones. Soon the mountains are covered with deep green, lively and vivid. I am very excited for your future films.
Till then, stay safe.
Thanks very much for stopping by and two black snakes - yikes! I am not a fan of them at all so real pleased I did not see one myself, I did last year for the first time and that was one time too many for me. It was so nice to get a rain free morning out but the rain did come back by dinnertime but just after I got back in the car, cheers Alan
I'm glad the weather got somewhat better and you were able to do a brand new hike! I always thought you were being funny calling your little car "The Beast," lol. This ended up being a really beautiful hike with great panoramas!
Just over 30 minutes from home and (again) the first time I had ever been there and really enjoyed it too. Real pleased I took the opportunity as the rain had set back in by dinner time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely Alan. Looks like a great walk! Stunning views ans what great weather you had! Thanks for the history as well. Great vid 😊
Been meaning to go there for ages and when I saw this was the only rain free morning, I jumped at the chance. Real pleased I did too, as it was really nice and I know it was mid week but I only saw one other person all morning. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Just came across your channel Alan when I was looking for walks in the Yorkshire Moors because I'm going in a couple of days. I love your narrations. Totally different videos to what I normally watch but very relaxing and informative. You've gained a follower
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
🐍... I hate snakes! Absolutely amazing views as always, Alan. What a cool path up there! Lookong forward to more videos, buddy. I hope you had a great Easter, and hopefully, it wasnt too rainy!
Thanks, we had a very peaceful Easter, which is just the way I like it and even got two sunny days. Unfortunately the rain is back today with a vengeance, which is great, as we are looking after our 4 year old grandson who just wants to be outside all the time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
That was a lovely walk Alan, a nice last minute decision. The views all around here are so beautiful on a lovely sunny day. Like how you have called your car the beast since the 70s 😃
Oo I don't like the sound of the weather for Easter.... 😯
I was surprised to hear of the adder that Emz saw, definitely don't want a bite from one of those. Interesting to hear how the historic Wainstones got the name. The views from up at the top were stunning, wise to bring the drone back down with the wind up there ! Nice that the seat is there in memory of Robbie in such a gorgeous place. That looked great 👍~ Anna
I just hope that weather changes, the rain is really dragging on , so I hope that means we are in for a nice warm summer. I was so disappointed I could not fly the drone, I did try but it was getting really buffered about with the wind, so though be sensible, (which is usually for me) and bring it down, always another day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Loved following along. Great video!
Thanks Del, good of you buddy and so nice to see a bit of sun again. Mind you, it did not last long mind, rain was back by dinner time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Did this a few years ago great little hike went over to crinkle moor and back
Ashamed to say that was the first time in that area and yet it is only about 45 minutes from home, such a nice area too. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
Hey Alan, that path on the other side of the road heads up to Urra moor and the highest point on the moors. It’s a lovely walk up there especially when the heather is out, so definitely worth while heading back and checking it out at some point. 😊 Glad the sun was out for you even if it was a bit windy at the top. Looks like you had a good morning out 😁
That sounds like a prefect time to do back and do a more challenging route, I love it up there when all the heather is out. Thanks very much for watching the the info for the start of the walk, cheers Alan
Stunning views up there Alan! Never knew the history behind the Wainstones, fascinating stuff! Take care mate 👍👍
Thanks very much for watching Anthony and always great views on the North York Moors, unsure why I do not go there more often but I need to get the rest of these Wainwrights knocked off, well, if the rain ever stops that is, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. Absolutely brilliant mate. These areas that are close to our home but we never frequent much are amazing aren’t they. You pretty much get them to yourself, especially in the week. Some beautiful views up there.
I was in the Forest of Bowland again Friday just gone. It was epic.
All the best mate, and as always thank you for sharing your adventure 😀🥾⛰👍
Yes I saw you were there and a place I have never been before and most lightly never will visit with so many local walks right on my doorstep still to cover. It was a real nice morning out but the predicted rain came down hard my dinner time, thankfully I was back in the car eating a large fish n chips by the. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
thanks for the great video my friend
Thanks for the visit John, real good of you my friend, appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Beautiful day for a hike! So nice that you had it all to yourself
Yes it was, only saw one other person all morning, which was very nice indeed. Thanks very much for watching
That was a nice hike, Alan, blue skies were all around! You will have to give the drone a name, or maybe you should look for suggestions from your fan base! Nice bit of scrambling at the top, sure why bother finding an easy way. Hope that Easter forecast is fake news!! Regards, Ashley
I hope it is as well, the weather has been awful, the last twice I have been out there has been a few hours in the morning when it has been nice but rain on both days by dinner time and I hate hiking in the rain. The only thing I can think of is all the nice, dry sunny weather is saving itself till you both come over in September. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hey Alan - totally get what you were saying about the weather - Been awful, so now it really is keeping an eye out for breaks in the rain! This looks fabulous - really enjoyed this. Oh and my beast is called Renée! All the best mate - Adam 👍
Last 3 times I have been out has been a couple of hours morning break in the rain, which did as was forecasted and bucket back down by dinner time - when it is ever going to send. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Did that last year and was a great hike. Headed over to Lordstones Cafe
I had intended to park and start my walk there Julie but when the weather said it was going to rain by dinner time, I decided at start at Clay Bank instead. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely video Alan.Hope to bump into you in the Lakes over Easter.❤
I sure hope to get over the Lakes at Easter, normally I tend to keep away when the kids are off but with the weather being so awful, I do not care who is off, it it is nice I will be there lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN absolutely 👍🏻 rain or shine we will make it there!onwards and upwards mate.Stay wild 👍🏻
Hi Alan. Sretana and I are the same. We always decide where to go at the last minute but in the end the trip turns out great. It must have been interesting to run into a snake and a poisonous one at that. Here I can say that I have not come across any poisonous snakes (although, never know), and we have quite a few of them in Croatia. I know the drone and wind issues...they don't really like each other. Ugh, how many times have I had to force my drone to land due to strong winds. At that point the controller isn't very useful.😁 The views are so great. Cheers. Sretana and Zac.🖐😀🤗
Appreciate you watching and yes, I did try and fly it but brought it straight back down, as it was just too windy and not worth the risk. There will be plenty more dry, wind free days in the future but I am just so impenitent and cannot wait for then. Take care, cheers Alan
I do like a hike with a bunch of rocks to play around on - and great views as well. I'll be looking out for randy adders! ATB, Roger
Thanks very much for watching and you were not the only one, only seen one adder before, which I almost stood on and that was one adder too many for me, cheers Alan, cheers Alan
Looks lovely Alan, just found your account and you really are that caring warm energy I needed to watch. Hopefully bump into you in the lakes sometime mate. Stay safe and stay radical!
I hope to do both and also hope to get to the Lakes as soon as this awful spell of weather leaves us along. This wet and miserable weather sure is lingering on, I need some sun lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN tell me about it! Not long till the sunny side of spring starts to creep back into the picture. Just wondering if you still have an Instagram platform? Tried to follow you earlier but couldn’t find it
We went on a Saturday and it was rammed!great question! -2 to +10, wow. Don’t fancy that weather over Easter! Great Steven impression! Yeah the stones on that leg of the Cleveland way are great. Lost count of how many adders I’ve almost stood on. Scary stuff. Interesting story behind the name! Circulars in both directions from there back to the car park! Mmm fish and chips in stokesly thats the way to end the day! Watch out for those adders (ticks will be back soon) 😱🐍🕷️
I was quite proud of my Steven impersonation but he thought it sounded nothing like him lol. been wanting to do the Wainstones for ages and while there was a few hours of sun I jumped at the chance and really enjoyed it, such a shame it was raining by dinner time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMANhave to make the most while the sun shines. Your Steven was spot on! Plus, never trust the weather forecast. Did a full day of filming today with barely a drop of rain and the weather forecast said 80% chance of strong rain all day!
Hi Alan,
Caught up with your adventures over the Easter weekend. Ooh a bench with a view, with could be better! Especially with that steep climb 🥵. Views worth it though, love that stone walkway, and the rock formations were fantastic. Good call on the drone, not worth losing it in the windy conditions! A well earnt fish and chip dinner after the descent of doom 😂👌
Enjoyed that.
Hope you had a Easter weekend 🐣🐰
All the best
Shell and Pete
Appreciate you stopping by and a first ever visit to the Wainstones, a place I have wanted to visit for a long time now. I know it was mid week but I only saw one person in all the time I was there, so nice and peaceful and I will be back for a longer walk in the summer when all the heather is out, cheers Alan
I nearly stepped on one of our most poisonous snakes in the US, the Mojave Rattler, eek! Love those rocky 360*views! The nice for you to be walking at the gym now💜 go for it!! Ill take the fish and chips please, after the doom part😅
We only have one venomous snake in the UK, small but a bite can be fatal and I saw my first one last year. Lucky for me a friend who I was with saw it first and stopped my from stepping on it :o)
The Wainstones are on my landscape photography bucket list to photograph but after seeing that climb up I'm not so sure now 😄. Great walk out Alan.
When I was up there I could see a road and a comparatively easier way up Andy, not sure how to get there mind. Thanks very much for watching
Hi Alan
Hope you are well.
What a great hike and noone about.
Amazing views
Watch out for those adders 🐍
So nice to see some sunshine even if it was a bit windy.
Have a good week 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it and unfortunately that sunshine never lasted, I just got back to the car and the heavens opened but it could have been worse, so not complaining. Thanks very much for watching
Forgot to say I saw paths opposite too where you are standing. Yet to figure out if it's a designated walk
Been told the path opposite leads to Urra Moor and you can do a circular loop, which is about 9 miles. I think I will leave that till the summer when all the heather is out on the Moor. Good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Great impression Alan....tell me i don't speak like that....cheers Buddy.
Haha, that was spot on, I was real proud of that, even more so since I played it back. I bet if your lass shut her eyes it would be like you talking. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Great video Alan. Looks like a great walk. Never been walking yet in the North Yorkshire Moors. Still to be explored!
But I am off to Yorkshire tomorrow for 5 days walking. Really looking forward to it. All the best. Al
Fingers crossed you get better weather than is forecast, sick to death of all this rain and although this was a real nice morning out, heavy rain fell at dinner time, thankfully I was in the car then eating fish n chips! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
superb views up there 👌dry & bright whats going on 😂hope that easter forcast is wrong or thats my easter knackered 😙
Dry and bright it was early doors but the rain was back with a vengeance by dinner time but I was back in the car then with a canny fish n chips. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great moorland walk Alan and it’s a shame you couldn’t get any drone footage. I’m still looking at the two they have in my camera shop window on display. Always like the Q&A hope every film of yours has one. Thought you could have posted a photo of the fish & Chips but alas you didn’t 😡
Take care and tread lightly (so as not to disturb the adders. Cheers Mike 👍
Haha, funny enough I did intend too but I was so hungry when I got them and it was one of my favourite fish n chip shows, I was almost finished them when I realised I have forgotten to take one. I have a mountain of questions, so as long s I remember there will be more to come. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Quality views as always Alan... Empty car park is like a lottery win 🏆 The bench of life 👍I keep meaning to get a walking pole, I don't know why as I don't really like them... but I fancy one for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
I only saw one bloke all morning, quiet as the grave up there but with superb views. I would never use walking poles for years and years, as I thought I was admitting I was old - got to admit I am now and they are a life saver, once you get used to them they are brilliant. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, beautiful place and of course on the Cleveland way, if you went other way from car park leads to round hill highest place in the north yorkshire moors, pity no drone footage but yes dont lose it straight away, hope the weather improves soon as getting fed up with near constant rain cheers nigel
Just came in from the gym and got a right soaking on the way back, this weather really is getting me down but so pleased I took the opportunity to do the Wainstones, been wanting to do it fr ages and really enjoyed them as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I enjoyed this , beautiful views as usual. I do enjoy the sense of achievement after a climb up to the tops. I haven't seen a adder myself , but I would like to see one from a safe distance as long as its not like I startle one by nearly treading on it!! . I have seen common lizards basking in the sun a couple of times in Derbyshire but they usually go as soon as the hear/see people coming. Hope you have a great week.🖤🖤🦇🦇
I saw my first adder last year when a friends shout just stopped my standing on it, dam scary I can tell you. First time I had seen one and I will be over the moon if I never see another one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN worst case scenario that , I don't blame you for feeling that way after that encounter you had
Great video alan .looks an absolute amazing walk that. Only done the 3 peaks in Yorkshire which are brilliant if you haven't done them 👍
Thanks very much for watching and only done the highest of the 3 peaks about 20 years ago, which was in preparation for doing them all the following week with some friends. The day before they did it I came down with the cold from Hell so had to bin it and they all went on and did all three of them. Always been annoyed about that cold ha! Cheers Alan
Sometimes these last minute decisions are the best :) Beautiful views from up there, it looks gorgeous, i'd happily chill out on that bench for a bit to take in the views :) the beast will remain a mystery lol The views are stunning and i need all the help i can get not too fall over lol wow an adder there wow!
Yes, real scary when you see an adder, they are not that big but they pack a big punch, so my eyes were peeled I can tell you. Real nice morning out but that pesky rain was back by dinner time, luckily, I was sat in the car eating a large fish and chips when it did hit lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. Fantastic countryside. Not been to those Wainstone's either, but we've got another Wainstone's closer to us in South Yorkshire. Strange how place names often get duplicated! All the best and take care 👍👍
Oh never knew there was another one and despite this one only being 45 minutes from home, my first ever visit there and what a great place it turned out to be too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video marra metalman 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, really appreciate you watching, cheers Alan
I'm glad to see you enjoyed you day on my local stomping ground Alan. As I said on Instagram, my daughter and I were there the day before and the weather was very different. The path you pointed to at the beginning takes you up to Round Hill which is the highest point on the North York Moors. You are actually on a section of both The Cleveland Way and The Coast to Coast where you walked.
This section you are on, you are on the first of three Moor tops, is know locally as the three sisters. This takes you over to Lordstones Cafe. There is a low route back which gives a circular of just under eight miles. If ever you decide to come back and walk it and fancy a bit of company, I'd be blown away to walk with you. We would no doubt talk Metal. I'll even treat you to a growler at Petch's in Great Ayton.
Brilliant video mate.
John.
Funny enough I had intended to walk to the Wainstones from Lord Stones doing an out and back but when I saw the forecast of rain by dinner time, I changed plans, real pleased I did as well ads it bucketed it down just after I got back to the car lol. I will be back up there again in the summer, when all the heather is back out again but mid week but I will give you a shout, as long as you do not mind a very slow pace lol. Thanks very much for watching
@AlanMETALMAN slow is fine Alan. Thank you.
thats a place o take a hike
It sure was, great views and I only saw one person all morning - bliss. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Haha, travelling tramps would be a completely different channel I'm afraid, lol. No bad views from this trail! Fish and chips are always a nice treat. Like you, I don't want to risk loosing a drone. Too much $$$ invested in one to loose it!
Thanks for watching and yes, that wind was just too strong and I would have hated to have lost it on its second flight lol. Nice walk it turned out to be and I only saw one other person all morning but the benefits of hiking mid week, cheers Alan
Hello Alan.Hope you have made it to the wonderful Lakes and enjoying it,We are staying at Crake Valley near Coniston.Wish we had booked somewhere else.Poor standards.Have you ever stayed at this site?Missing Keswick Reach to be honest.
Aw that's a shame and no, never stayed there before but we have at Keswick Reach and loved it there. Fingers crossed you get some good weather and thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thank you 🙏🏻 likely to be spoilt according to the forecast
That looks like a great last minute decision!
Don't like to run into snakes...
A battle out there would have been pretty hard to fight out on the top.
It's always hard to start hiking again after winter... And I'm also hopefully waiting for the weather to get better and especially dryer...
Have a great evening! Kaat
