Hey Tom,I'm watching you on telly! And you're so much more interesting than Ant+Dec!👍🏼😃😃

Beautiful!

Same happened to watergrove village,Wardle

This is a walk I've also put off for far too long. I've had the route mapped for about 4 years, so thanks for posting and reminding me. I did walk part of it about 40 years ago, so I know it's worth doing. I'm also competitive with other walkers. At one time I would try and catch-up walkers. Those days have long passed, and I try not to be caught up nowadays. I'm 6'2'' with long legs, now I am doing more urban walks, I sometimes get overtaken by short women who need two steps for one of mine. I must avoid city centre transport areas and commuters! Can you please post the temperate rain forest video? I'm very interested in that, and I can recommend the northern lower slopes of Bowland. Try the valleys between Ward's Stone and Caton Moor (Littledale and Mallowdale).

Another one to add to my local must do walks. Thanks.

Great Lancashire walk! Lovely time of year!👍🏻

Close the Greater Manchester? It is in Greater Manchester!

Aint that the truth.

I live in formby

Absolutely beautiful,wish I was there with you.

Great Film of one of our favourite places to walk. you have captured everything in a great production. well done and look forward to more of your walks.

Hi, any walks near Heysham? I live on the outskirts of Blackpool, but, just love the countryside , your channel is brilliant, just getting into walking, again, Thanks for all your guided tours ❤

There's Watergrove village beneath Watergrove Reservoir.Between Whitworth and Wardle, just east of this walk. It's a really nice and interesting area to walk.

Great walk that pal with some stunning scenery. I do believe not ao far from there Scammonden Reservoir was a village called Deanhead valley.

Great video. Watergrove Reservoir, Wardle, and Haweswater in the Lake District have abandoned villages beneath them.

Funny you have uploaded today, I was literally checking your channel about where I could go today. How come you have changed it from Lads to Lad by the way?

What would you like to know about wind turbines? In terms of solving the energy crisis they can absolutely help, however the major factor behind the energy crisis is how our energy markets work here. They're run on what's called marginal pricing which means that unfortunately all energy is charged at the price of the most expensive commodity no matter how much of it is used, which at the moment is gas as this hit high level of demand with post pandemic recovery and the Ukraine war. There is a consultation called REMA that is looking to reform the electricity markets. But consultations about such things are slow. This decoupling of electricity from gas would be the biggest way to save money as solar and wind are the cheapest forms of electrical generation. It would also make heat pumps more viable, the only downside would be that high energy prices encourage generation to be installed. If you want to compare how much energy costs you can look up the "levelised cost of energy" or LCOE with organisations like the IEA. Or if you want to look at measures that include storage then LCOEssc is the term you're after.

The history of Green Booth is available on t'internet. Cracking film.

Would be great if you did group walks.

Brilliant, love Henry ❤

Thanks for the inspiring video. Off to the Lakes next week and will now do this hike.

Thanks for the motivation to get out on a cold soggy day. Spent a weekend on the edge of nature, it was tempting to stay indoors and keep warm, but I am so glad I went out. Great walk!

What a amazing place 😮

Will definitely be visiting ,thanks for sharing !

❤

Them steps are a killer, but better to go up then than go down for the knees. Love Pendle hill.

Have you got an Instagram account?

I recognise where you are

It's been speculated that Langdon Castle is the "Dark foreboding place" described in Arthurian legend for the location of the green chapel where Gawain fought the green knight for the holy grail. It's a strange place and those arched Jamme stones in the now cattle shed are completely out of place. Besides this building is on the original track from the Ribble Valley to Lancaster where the Pendle witches will have been taken for trial. I've always though this is one of those places that needs a time team investigation. Nice walk and well worth a look. BTW - this would have been within range of JRR Tolkien when he lived nearby - and what book did he write?

National Trust Formby is a very nice place to visit in summer. We were there last weekend: kzbin.infoXq7ouyfjhMU?si=OjKwo_FfiAQdjnWn

Not so fun fact. The neolithic grave mound on the summit was trampled into nothingness during lockdown. It was around 4,000 years old.

Pen from ancient Brythonic, in this context meaning hill. Hyll from old English, again meaning hill. And finally hill in modern English, meaning we have a hill, hill ,hill. Somewhere along the line it aquired a D to give us Pendle hill. Apparently it was called Penhul at one point in history.

I'm thinking about doing this hike in October.....wonder if it will be cold ? I haven't lived in the UK for 30 years now so i can't really remember the weather. Nice video, thanks

Thanks Tom. We were inspired by the video to try this walk. Beautiful summer day and a really enjoyable and varied walk

Cromwells bridge.

You should just shoot the side of my terrace - it looks like a waterfall made of blooms, a flowerfall, perhaps?

Factoid; Vimto was invented by a guy from Blackburn in 1908

In the Dictionary under Wonderful, There was a link to this...xx

Thanks for giving us such a great video. Loved your drone footage of the viaduct. ❤

I live nearby , I was once accused of not being local because I wasn’t born there ! I’ve lived in Morecambe and WARTON since 1952 . I bet I’ve been up Arnside Knott more times than some of the locals …….anyway , everything is Ok , it’s lovely to be living round the shores of Morecambe Bay ! cheers 😊

All I can say you’ll be glad you’re not here at the moment as it’s cold, windy and rainy and has been for the last two weeks! I was sat on the beach in my hiking jacket and fleece 😂 and gutted I didn’t bring my waterproof walking pants 😵‍💫… currently sat watching a pea souper over the sea 🌊 ☁️ 😂 I feel for those camping as it’s supposed to be summer!

I love your walks. Done this one a good few times now. As an extension you can throw in the Jumbles reservoir and even further extend it by taking in Cheetham Close and Affetside for a great ten miler! You got far better weather than me.

Is there a trig point at the top ??
