"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler

Another lovely video Patrick. Thanks for continuing to do the videos over the Pandemic. I don't drive so was stuck in Stockport for months and your and other KZbinrs output kept me sane. If I ever see you out in the Peak District I'm buying you a pint.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for your comments and for watching 👍

I'm another Stockport native that's took a lot from Patrick's videos.

Brilliant walk and film Patrick. I think you missed your vocation as you should be on TV. Have a great weekend. Steve

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank Steve, glad you enjoyed it, many thanks and have a good one too 👍

[@williamclarke2020]

Right you are, Steve. Ever since I stumbled upon this site, I have always appreciated his production values. Happy ramblings from Canada, Friend! Billy

Fabulous video Patrick! I think Bakewell is a beautiful old town. It's good to see the Old Original Bakewell Pudding Shop. There are many towns that are disconnected from the countryside, but Bakewell is very connected. In fact, even when you're in the town centre, the countryside is so close to you. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Jordan, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks as always for your comments and for watching 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Hi Patrick. Another fascinating film. Bakewell is certainly a popular and stunning place. I remember when I was at school, our teacher brought in Bakewell Pudding. I was expecting some kind of Mr Kipling style thing 😆. I must admit that I prefer the Mr Kipling style cake. I know, I’ll go and hang my head in shame 🤣

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Anthony, I must admit I've never been a fan of the pudding myself, but I know loads who do like it of course. It's like Marmite, you either love it or loathe it. I would definitely go for the tart each time! 😂👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

I've never been to Bakewell for a long time Patrick. You've shown and explained things on this video that both myself and my partner never knew about the town. There's some lovely old buildings in those streets that go back a few centuries, and give a real charm to the place. There's plenty of green space about and the River Wye bridges are spectacular. Bakewell station is thankfully preserved, and years ago there used to be a camping coach in one of the sidings, The station was never served by the Manchester to London expresses, but by the Derby to Manchester and return stopping trains. Hassop station is gladfully in situ as well. Many thanks for this brilliant video, Patrick, and keep well.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks again Ffranc for taking the time to watch and for all your comments, much appreciated 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

I recognise these scenes from Bakewell and River. We went there with a walking group before the pandemic. Nice area. I really enjoy bakewell tarts too.

[@solitaryrambler]

Morning Shanita, good to know you recognised places from this walk. It is indeed a nice area. Thanks for watching and have a great day 👍

[@paulnicholson1906]

My “uncle” Phil used to live on Monyash Road in Bakewell. He was really my dads cousin. One time he lent me his bike when we were visiting so I could get about on my own. This was before I had my license. Anyway I set off down the steep hill on the wrong side of the road since I live in the US. When I got to the bend at the bottom I realized my mistake when I met a bus coming up. Somehow I went right across the front of the bus to the left side and as he was going slowly I didn’t crash. After that adjustment I was OK but not a good start. That made an indelible impression…..

[@solitaryrambler]

Definitely an impression. Thanks for watching 👍

I visiting the UK every year for walking in all the parts of the UK, bud the Peak district is one of my favorite area. I hope that I can come back after the pandemic. Thanks for sharing all the video's. It is giving me so much insparation for my next visits. Thanks.

[@solitaryrambler]

[@paulbeachcroft3323]

Hi Patrick. Brilliant walk, film and commentary. Great to see that the old station buildings are still being used. Do you think you will be doing other sections of the Monsal trail at some point? Did you pick up a pudding before leaving for home. Best wishes Paul

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks as always Paul. I never reveal what i will be filming in the future, so you'll just have to watch this space 😊👍

[@paulbeachcroft3323]

@@solitaryrambler will do, but did you partake in the Bakewell pudding 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@WyeExplorer]

Fantastic Patrick. I loved the fact about the tarts. Who doesn't like Bakewell tart? As for the museum good job they saved that house. It's simply beautiful. To think they were going to demolish it Another good walk with a few good people and laughs along the way. And hey a bit of YHA history to. You sure did get about. Well, have a great weekend. Mark

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Mark, thanks for that. Yeah a great story about the old Bakewell Puddings eh. The old house museum too a lovely building indeed, and it is great that it was saved. This was a nice short stroll to film meeting a few people on the way, so a very enjoyable day in all. I did travel a lot in my younger days staying in many YHAs, probably visit more places in the future where I stayed long before. Good to hear from you as always Mark. Enjoy your weekend too. Patrick 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

@@solitaryrambler Always a pleasure Patrick. I laughed a few times with you on this one. A good walk. The YHA's must have been fun.

[@solitaryrambler]

They sure were fun Mark, pleased you had a laugh with this too, good stuff 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

@@solitaryrambler Always enjoyable Patrick. Have a good day.

[@jeffallinson8089]

That brought back great memories of a day trip to Bakewell that I did with my family a good few years ago. We were stopping in Swanwick (thich was a great base) and visited Buxton on the same day, trouble is the weather was appalling, it threw it down all day! I fondly remember buying traditional Bakewell tarts from a local Bakers in Bakewell and they were absolutely delicious. Great movie and great music score too.

[@solitaryrambler]

I quite like the Bakewell Tarts but I'm not a fan of the Pudding. Thanks for your nice comments and for watching Jeff 👍

[@jeffallinson8089]

@@solitaryrambler I have never had the pudding!

You are so blessed to be in the Peak District, Patrick. The Monsal Trail is calling my name for a bike or a hike! I can't wait to visit. As always, great production value. Cheers to all Solitary Ramblers out there too!

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks as always William, hope you do get to the Monsal Trail 👍

[@michaeldenham9681]

I agree about the beauty of Bakewell, but you showed parts I've never seen before. We did pretty much the same walk two years ago with a large group, but the opposite way around. Really enjoyed revisiting it with you.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks again Michael, your kind words mean a lot. I find that it's always worth exploring those quieter streets away from the main town centres as they can often be the more interesting and scenic places. All the best, Patrick 👍

[@frankfitzgerald5832]

Thank you so much Patrick its so nice to recognise so many places from our trip along the monsal trail ...we enjoyed a small walk around the centre including the church and yes we did visit the original bakewell tart shop....but we both aree another visit to the peak district must be on the cards.... regards Frank & Lee.....

Pleased that you were able to appreciate somewhere you've visited yourselves. As always Frank and Lee many thanks for commenting and for taking the time to watch 👍

I love watching your walk's, i never want them to end. What a beautiful part of the country Derbyshire is and right on your doorstep too. Originating from south Manchester, i spent many happy days in Derbyshire and most of our school trips were around there. My mother worked ay Kiplings cakes so I've seen more Bakewell puddings than anyone i know. Excellent as always, cheers.
