[@glennwilson1633]

Can't believe how thin that stile was.. Had me chuckling.. Love the guitar sounding theme.. Brilliant 😊

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it Glenn, yes that stile was challenging! 😊

[@jobybean4754]

Hi Patrick! Me and my boyfriend did this walk today and we both agreed you are an absolute legend the way you practically jogged down that incredibly steep part in this video! Another fantastic walk, thanks for the inspiration. 😁

[@solitaryrambler]

Great job Joby! Glad you both enjoyed the walk, thanks for watching 👍

[@paulbeachcroft3323]

Hi Patrick. Magpie mine is very impressive, a couple of stubbon gates, a squeeze stile that Twiggy would struggle with and a short bit of road bashing. Wonderful 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Paul, I like to keep those fun shots in where I can now! 👍😂

[@frankfitzgerald5832]

Thats the way to spend saturday evening ...another stunning walk thanks Patrick....so many local locations close to you ..really envious mate......thank you once again for taking us with you ...the mining location looks fabulous...regards Frank & Lee.....

[@solitaryrambler]

Filming so many local locations recently has been good for me too, nice to revisit and appreciate what's on my doorstep. As always Frank and Lee thank you for your support and for watching. Cheers, Patrick 👍

[@jeffallinson8089]

That was fabulous, what a lovely movie this is. I have to say Sheldon looks lovely and what a fabulous job the builders did of the Cock and Pullett; it looks like it has been there sor a couple of hundred years, not just 26. Magpie Mine also looks like a must visit for those in the area too. Great work Patrick.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Jeff, yes you wouldn't be able to tell the pub was so much more recently built than the rest of the buildings in the village. As always thanks Jeff for watching and for your support 👍

[@astralgary.]

I walked around Sheldon area today, was quite warm in afternoon. Cannot complain for February. Great videos 👍

[@solitaryrambler]

Nice one, thanks for watching 👍

[@julianbeesley5059]

Great film, places like Magpie Mine are fun that they are open to wander around.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Julian 👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

This is a lovely walk that you've done here. I vaguely remember the Devonshire Arms pub that used to be mentioned by a person or two from Buxton that used to go out there for a drink many moons ago. I'm not certain when it closed. Deep Dale looks a quite nice sort of valley to walk through, and everywhere seems to be very well signposted for ramblers. Magpie Mine buildings seem to be of the Cornish style, and it's a good job that some of the site remains to this day. Many thanks for this program, very much enjoyable, and keep well.

[@solitaryrambler]

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

[@highlandexplorer990]

Great video. It looks so peaceful. 'Roadbashing'. What a great word!

[@solitaryrambler]

It really is, isn't it! 😊 Many thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@GRAHAM1514]

We have been watching your very informative and well presented videos on the big screen ,I Have book marked some of your Dales videos so before we arrive in the area we can take a 2nd look so we can get a good idea what to look out for , Best wishes Graham

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you very much for your kind words and for watching. I always highlight that my videos aren't made intentionally as guides, but glad they are of any help 👍

[@mmintravel7926]

Such a beautiful and enjoyable vlog, thank you for sharing and have a nice day.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks for your kind comments and for watching 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Another enjoyable film Patrick and a lovely little walk too. I did think you were going to need the fire brigade to come and help release you from that stile for a minute 🙈. Interesting to hear the story behind Magpie mine. I visited there for the first time a few weeks ago on a really misty day. Had a bit of a spooky feel to it 😱.

[@solitaryrambler]

And to think that after I had set the camera up and actually went though that main gate, only to return through that gap stile not realising that I how awkward it was going to be! Still, it was too good not to include in the film 😂 Thanks Anthony for watching, have a good week. Patrick 👍

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Hello Patrick nice to a new walk from you we have just about run out on your playlist , really enjoyed seeing you again and looking forward to more. Thanks again.

[@solitaryrambler]

Morning Shaun, glad you enjoyed this one and thanks as always for watching 👍

[@cathoutdoors523]

Hi Patrick. Great video. Thanks for all the work you do. 😊👍📹

[@solitaryrambler]

You are very welcome Cath, thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@lindaking9222]

Another lovely walk..thanks

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you too Linda 👍

[@kellyshaw7271]

I didn't think you would get through that styal, my it was narrow. Did make me chuckle about the gate though. Yes, lockdown caused some of the most horrific haircut's I've ever seen but we were all in the same boat. What a lovely laid back walk and nice to see some road bashing thrown in. Thank you.

[@solitaryrambler]

The ironic thing was I had set up the camera on the tripod, then went through the gate before coming back through that gap stile! It was a scene definitely worth keeping in though as I found it funny myself 😂 Yes I was glad to have gotten the barber to finally cut my hair. The road bashing was great, wasn't it? 😊 Thanks as always Kelly for watching 👍

[@kellyshaw7271]

Yes, it was very funny and it was unusual to see you road bashing instead of up and down dale. I do think that stile could do with widening lol. Cheers.

[@alisonmoxon7519]

Great walk and vid again.. We really enjoyed it.. Many thanks lv Ali..

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks as always Ali 👍

[@mattroberts3331]

I’ve not been to magpie mine yet but it’s on my to do list, also Sheldon looks like a lovely village, another great video Patrick thanks again Matt

[@solitaryrambler]

You should Matt, Sheldon and Magpie Mine are great places to visit. Thanks for watching 👍

[@mattroberts3331]

Well I think there’s an Ethel close by so will be using that as my excuse to give it a visit thanks again Matt

[@doreenfawcett9717]

Wow absolutely beautiful very lovely 😊

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you so much 😊

[@atrampinthehills.841]

nice one....i have road bashed along there a couple of times.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks, yes it was a great bit of road bashing 👍😊

[@michaeldenham9681]

It's been quite nostalgic for me watching some of your recent walks in the limestone region of Derbyshire. I used to go there regularly years ago when I had a very active interest in geology, looking up the old mines and sometimes taking trips into them. Magpie looks a lot less derelict than it did then. Many thanks.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks as always for watching and commenting Michael. Magpie Mine is very well looked after now 👍

[@rwalker9644]

I must admit i had to chuckle seeing you stuck in the stile - talking of - a change of style of music and very nice melody - ah music with tunes - dose anyone remember those ? Cheers Rob

[@solitaryrambler]

I just had to keep that shot in the final edit 😂 Glad you liked the music too. Many thanks Rob 👍

[@richardchan9595]

If you had not mentioned it, I wouldn't have known you cut your own hair. You did a great job. 👍 You can cut my hair anytime 😉. Thank your for another great video! BTW, I've been cutting my own hair for many years.

[@solitaryrambler]

When I was viewing this back myself, I thought my hair looked no different! 😂 It was just such a luxury to have finally been able to get to the barber to cut it for me after so many months, as well as supporting him as a local business too to be fair. Thanks for watching Richard 👍

[@thematlockbiker]

Stephen and Lisa, a likely couple. Never heard of them.......lol

[@solitaryrambler]

Oooh I'd steer clear of those two if you should ever come across them........ 😂😂😂
