- Join me as I winter hike the 90 miles of the Dales High Way which is in the Dales National Park, North Yorkshire. This video covers the exhilarating days one and two across the moors starting at Saltaire and resting at Settle.
( Please help the channel, buy me a coffee here } ko-fi.com/ambl... )
We start at the model mill village of Saltaire with the path running alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Within a relatively short distance we leave the tow path and follow a footpath that takes us over the River Aire. This path begins to rise above the urban landscape in the direction of the moors. However, first we follow Loadpit Beck passing through Trench Woods. Eventually, we rise on to the famous Ilkeley Moor where we come across the stone circle of the Twelve Apostles. We observe the mist enveloping Ilkley town whilst we stand in glorious sunshine witnessing the trees casting their shadows onto the mist below.
Now we head away from Ilkley and follow the ridge below Rombalds Moor. We cross many fields passing through Addingham and joining the path that is referred to as the Rombalds Way. This is an old Roman Road which became a Turnpike Road 1755 to 1803. Eventually we desend into Skipton and our first day ends.
Early start to day two with sunlight finding us on Sharp Haw. Next we head through Flasby and follow Flasby Beck. Next we are the very straight Moor Lane which was constructed for Winterburn Reserv. Eventually, we get to Gordale Scar which is a minor detour from the main route. Here we admire the majestic cliffs and waterfall. Then we next visit Malham Cove which has limestone steps for us to admire. We pass through a dramatic landscape over the next couple of hours before descending into the market town of Settle where we end our second day.
Fantastic video, completed Saltaire to Skipton yesterday, can't wait to do the rest!
That’s brilliant, I’m jealous, have a great hike 🥾🥾🥾🥾
Dales High way looks better than the Dales way, which i attempted a few years ago in a February, first day i went over 3 times in the mud, by the end of the second day I called it quits lol
Interesting comment, I wonder how they compare and was thinking of doing Dales Way but did wonder about when to do it due to the low level suspected would be muddy as you confirmed. Maybe later in the year. Cheers
Winter walks are cold but magical. The frost really add to the views
Yes the frost certainly provided magical views. Thanks for watching.
Yet another interesting walk , not an area we have ever walked
Must admit Alan it was the same for me and then was surprised how relatively close by it is for us, hope you get chance to explore that part of the country. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Beautiful north country winter walk. What a joy.
It really is! Thanks for watching and J hope you enjoy the series.
Had a lovely wander up from Saltaire to that mile post stone you saw, then back again today.
Fantastic, glad you enjoyed it, and I’m jealous!
Interesting looking trail, very enjoyable video
Glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy the series.
What a beautiful walk cannot wait to watch the rest of your journey
Thanks, hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Looks like some really beautiful views on this walk!
Yes the moorland views really made this hike magical! Thanks for watching.
Did this trail last summer, I thought it was a great trail, and I was lucky enough to meet one of the creators in Saltaire before i started.
I'm looking forward to part two
That is awesome Kevin, meeting one of the creators. Certainly agree it's a great trail and in some ways it exceeded my expectations. Hope you do enjoy the rest of the series and it brings back great memories. Cheers
Great quality video - what camera do you use if you don't mind sharing?
Happy to share, Sony ZV - E10 and my iPhone 13 mini which I find myself using more and more.
@@AmblingTrails Thanks - I think the quality of the smart phone camera is getting better and better
Nice videos, but a bit too much commentary/exposition for me. Maybe replace some of the commentary & exposition with more captions?🙂
Thanks for taking the time to provide the feedback. Will consider how to strike the right balance between commentary and captions. Just about to start editing another series will try and incorporate your feedback. Cheers
@@AmblingTrails I love the commentary as you are softly spoken and intelligent in your vids only speaking when necessary.
I love your videos - your commentary sets you apart, as you add so much of interest, whether it's history, trail info, personal observations etc!
@dcaudwell thanks really appreciate your comment.
Really enjoy your vids and your commentary as you walk. The only issues I have are with that bloody horrible music in the back ground. Not only is it repetitive its also unnecessary . Loads of hikers plunder the youtube library for annoying tunes when we could be listening to the sounds of the countryside.
Hi Mick, thanks for the feedback. I somewhat agree with you! However, I'm constantly battling with the wind in the countryside, which blows out the audio especially above 10 mph. I've literally spent hundreds of pounds to try and improve the capture of 'the sounds of the countryside' as that's what I enjoy as well, so I will continue to pursue this ideal. Most small channels will use the UT library as it's free and you don't have to navigate any copyright issues. Now that I've reached 1k subscribers I'm just considering the cost benefit of other audio libraries, so maybe at least the music selection will improve if I have to use music. The other alternative is silence, but the engagement score go down on YT and then the video and channel will stop being promoted by YT. I don't think I will ever stop using music completely, but I certainly would like to reduce the need. Cheers, Nigel
Hi Mick, as it happens recently did a hike in the Lakes and had glorious weather which really showed off the countryside. The wind was minimal even on the high fells. So with your words ringing in my head when I came to edit the video, no horrible music was added in the background. Hope you enjoy this ruclips.net/video/cc6-Dp27n58/видео.html and thanks for your feedback. Nigel
