Hi Mary Mansfield, awesome video very wet and beautiful colors and the penny stomp ,for shure we need the rain in California USA, thanks one more time. ✌👍👍
Beautiful videography as well as your still photos. Living in northwest Oregon now and previously from northwest Washington, during the fall and winter if you don't hike in the rain, you don't hike. I agree with you that the rain makes colors more dramatic. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely walk. I myself have walked through Padley Gorge to The Longshaw Estate then onto Fox House. Children love to explore & play in this area in the Summertime. We finished our day with an ice cream from the parked van near by.🍦🙂
Beautiful autumn colors and falling raindrops is always so lovely. What a stunning place to walk. I love to get videos with falling leaves. Always so peaceful. That was a very interesting tree with all the fungi on it. (I think it was fungi) I had to go back and look at that tree again. I read other comments about coins in the tree. LOL. Perfect rock shape for a rest.. Mary the tree hugger. NICE! Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. Blessings and safe hiking.
So much of your video reminds me of my home ..the moss... the leaves.. the mushrooms... the rain.. I wish you weren't so far from me because I would absolutely LOVE to go on a walk with you :)
A very nice area. It reminds me of the Appalachian mountains here in the US with the rocky streams, moss and deciduous trees. Yes, I spotted what I thought might be a miller's wheel at time 8:13...thanks for the confirmation. Loved the "chair rock"
I did some walking in the Peak District in August last year some nice countryside their. Those woods like lovely I enjoy paths through the woods like that.
I'm making my first trip to Padley Gorge in the coming weeks and this video has got me looking forward to it even more! Snake woodland is another stunning place in the Peak District too. Great video and thanks for sharing.
What an amazing place! I love the colours of the autumn leaves. Not visited the gorge before but I know the area around the Peaks very well. Thanks you for your video. W :)
Very very beautiful and magical hike through the woods reminds me of Oregon,the rain 🌧 and colors. first time I’ve seen a penny stup..very pretty Mary🌟 Thank you!!😉
Hi ya Mary 🤠!! It brings to mind the A.T trail !!! I've almost always loved the after rain affect. I mean, it washes the leaves , the tree it's self. Bushes and just makes the colors so rich !!😍 I want 2b nosey Mary and ask was it a long drive for u to get there?? Seems most of ur area is rolling green 😊. If u had to guess what would u say the temps had been while there ??? Very lovely Mary ☺️ Ur a lucky girl !!!! Peace Mary and keep on rocking the free world ☺️
No it wasn't too far away - about an hour. I checked the temperature when I arrived and it was 6°C so a pretty chilly day! Thanks so much for your lovely comments😊
Thanks for this, you really brightened up a dull day in the office. Lovely final shot of you walking away through the tree tunnel and your stills are simply beautiful. You're fast becoming the Peak District's visual poet laureate!
Soooo beautiful and mystical, as it reminds people of other places it also reminds me of eastern Canada (Quebec) where I’m from. The awesome beauty on this planet is truly breathtaking. I hope you have considered compiling a book with all your treasured photos from all your favorite places accompanied with your inner thoughts, it would be truly amazing, I’d get several copies for family and friends. Thank you for the extra beauty you bring to the world. 🙏🏻🤗🤟🏻
Mary! That was absolutely breathtaking!!! So beautiful the colors and contrasts! Artful music, captures and photography Mary! Wow! An heirloom video! Thank you for captivating us!
For those who have not seen them, this is the closest thing I have seen in your videos to the Appalachian mountains in the U.S. Plenty of moss-covered rocks, rooty trails, waterfalls and trees (although the types of trees vary a bit and these here are much older growth). But I recognized some beeches and the colors looked like maples. So you need to hike the AT -- you will feel right at home!
@@davidletz9123 In order, I would suggest New Hampshire (the White Mountains), North Carolina (the Great Smoky Mountains and the nearby Black Mountains), Virginia (the Blue Ridge Mountains) and then probably Vermont (the Green Mountains). Tennessee is just a mirror image of North Carolina, as the states' mutual border runs along the spine of the Smokies. You could do two trips: (1) New Hampshire and Vermont, which are adjacent), and then (2) North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, which also meet in the mountains there. The Smokies and the Whites are perhaps the most challenging in terms of terrain and weather; the mountains are a bit gentler in Virginia and Vermont. Maine has the most remote areas of near wilderness as you approach the northern end of the trail. The tallest mountain east of the Rockies is Mt. Mitchell in the Black Mountains in North Carolina. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire is almost as tall, and it is located in the mighty Presidential Range of the White Mountains -- home of some of the most beautiful scenery (but also the most unpredictable weather) in the East. Many of the peaks in the Whites are above the tree line, which is fairly low in elevation there because of the northern climate. So, you get stunning views. You may encounter sub-freezing temps and snow in all of the Appalachian Mountains, from Maine to Georgia, between November and March. Temps up to 35 C can occur from June through September along most of the trail, except perhaps late summer in Maine, when it cools off a bit. I hope you visit and enjoy!
Thank you Jim. These are called 'wishing tree's'. They have coins knocked into them by passers-by, who hope it will bring their wishes true, rid them from an illness, provide them with good fortune or good luck. A bit like wishing wells I think!
This is beautiful. I agree with the commenter who says it looks like the New England section of the Appalachian Trail, or perhaps some trail in the U.S. Midwest. Did you start from Grindleford Station and walk north? How long was the walk?
Thanks so much Steven. Yes I started from the station and walked north and in a circular kind of route, but it was more of a wander without a plan as it was a bit of a photography expedition. If I were to guess how far I walked I would probably say about 8 miles in total.
What a lovely autumn walk in the woods. Love the rocky, root strewn, trail. I'm a tree guy and always photograph the best trees on the trails I traverse. Thanks for sharing the beauty in a nicely done (as usual) video.
Very nice. Some of the music sounded like it was from the 60s(my time). That looked like an old millstone at 8:12. Were they quarried in that area or were there mills? Nice resting rock too. Thanks for taking us along. Good Luck, Rick
Hi Rick! Yes they were old millstones that after a little research I found out typically date from the 18th and 19th Century. They were used for grinding grains into flour in water, wind and steam mills. Some stones scattered throughout the Peak District were used as grindstones for sharpening steel.
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures We have some laying around in my eastern CT town. They were quarried nearby. 35 years ago, I knew the 86 year old owner of a quarry that had been in his family since the early 1800s. He still worked the making granite bird baths. My wife was from bayou country Louisiana and was fascinated by all of the rocks in CT(that wore off after we tried putting in a garden). I bought Martha one of the bird baths and set it up for her in our yard. If you want to see what it looks like, its posted on my IG Boyscout862. Some people have the mill stones as yard decorations. There is a working 1840s mill in MA that I visited many years ago. They give a good demonstration and explanation of how the mill worked. If you ever get a chance to visit a working mill, please do. Good Luck, Rick
I really admire your photography skills. Are the stream views at he start and the muddy views, of the same stream? Are there trout in the stream? How is the book coming along?
Thanks so much Jim. Yes it is the same stream I walked along, it's called Burbage Brook. I didn't see any fish and after a little research I haven't been able to find out if there is any there, sorry I can't answer that for you. The book is coming along well - I will have finished my first draft by the end of the month! 😁

Beautiful. And thanks for filming even in the rain.when Padley Gorge becomes puddly gorge.
I love that 'Puddly Gorge' 🤣
I love your photograph of that gorgeous tree. I like art of trees, don't know why but I do. Another wonderful video Mary! Thanks Tink!
Thank you so much Keith! So glad you liked my photos too 😊
What a lovely spot, even in the rain. Thanks, Mary. 🙂👍

A lovely video with some nice images at the end. Reminds me of my ill fated trip to padley gorge a few weeks ago. Thanks
Thanks so much! What happened on your trip? Did you also have bad weather?
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures Unfortunately not. Whilst chasing an image for my vlog I managed to slip down a muddy banking and break a leg.
Looks stunning, I’m heading that way this Saturday….
Hope you had a great day - despite the rain!
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures actually I put it on hold seeing the weather forecast, this weekend is looking more promising…..
Always good to see you again my dear n spot on video with good tunes just perfect for me Sunday afternoon, thanks
Thank you so very much David 😊

Any particular state you can recommend?

@@johnalden5821 Thanks very much for the information!
Mary, your artist's eye makes everything look magical!
Thanks so much Jimmy!
Very nice colors and lighting! What is the story about the tree with coins? At 8:50
Thank you Jim. These are called 'wishing tree's'. They have coins knocked into them by passers-by, who hope it will bring their wishes true, rid them from an illness, provide them with good fortune or good luck. A bit like wishing wells I think!

Cold, rain and a warm and waterproof outfit. Mary, have you ever entered a waterfall ? 🎩
Yes I have on a number of occasions!
Mary, would you please please tell what you are wearing for this hike?
Mountain Equipment Trousers and Puffy, Craghoppers Waterproof Coat, a fleece and a thermal base layer and Rab gloves, a buff and a Patagonia Beanie Hat!
Hope you had some swimming wings in your pack with all that water.
🤣
Over the thousands of years think of the people who took shelter under those rocks
