i love Millthorpe, i could live there. I was blown away by your shout out, it really has made my day and totally unexpected. Thank you so much. I totally understand you having to keep your work life private but now I'll call you, Patrick Leach, international man of mystery😁 It was a really scenic walk and i loved the sign lol. You cannot beat a good walk that's quiet too. Really enjoyable and thanks once again for the mention. You're looking very well. Cheers

[@solitaryrambler]

You are welcome Kelly, very glad you give you the shout out. Yes I do have to watch what I say when talking about more personal stuff when I know the video will be posted on KZbin. That sign was great, wasn't it! I did a double-take when I saw that! 😁 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

[@Royalawg]

Thank you, Patrick ! I enjoyed it greatly especially your warm and friendly presentation complemented with the soft music. Have a great week & I hope to see you again (here) soon. 🤩😁🥰

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Angus, kind of you to say so 🙂 Have a great week too 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

So lovely to see the sunny views along your walk from Millthorpe and varied terrain. I'm usually a few months behind with the seasons on our walks too, but March looked very summer. Soothing gentle instrumental & guitar solo music melody line. Liked the piano bits in between. Never noticed different areas in the Peak District so helpful for explainations.

[@solitaryrambler]

Morning Shanita, glad you enjoyed the views. It was a very summery day from what I recall for March. Pleased you enjoyed my music again. It's actually a song I composed years ago, and I recorded another instrumental version of it in a much earlier video. Thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

[@alanmorgan1491]

My wife and I thoroughly enjoy every program,and are enlightened by each location,many of which we were not aware of, thanks Patrick for your excellent programs

[@solitaryrambler]

So nice of you to say so Alan, many thanks for taking the time to watch and for your great comments. All the best 👍

[@stephmcghie8732]

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Steph, glad you enjoyed the film and the music, always good to know. Have a lovely weekend too 👍

[@garrymartin6474]

A lovely walk, Millthorpe is on of my favourite Hamlets too and the Royal Oak is the only place I have ever seen "Jugged Hare" on the menu although that was twenty five or more years ago !

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you enjoyed the walk. Must try the Jugged Hare sometime! 👍

[@dellabestwick5668]

That was a lovely video of a really lovely walk, I’ve done most of it before and now want to do again 😄

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you Della, hope you do the walk again soon 👍

[@dellabestwick5668]

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it Mick, thanks for watching 👍

[@claireEt9055]

Hi Patrick. Thank you for another great video. I’d have been tucking my trousers into my socks when I saw that adder sign, that’s for sure 😂

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks to you too Claire for watching and for your comments. I trod carefully after spotting the adder sign! 👍

[@jeanwainwright598]

Hi Patrick, thank you again for a most enjoyable walk, its places we have never visited, it looked a bit muddy under foot but you had a nice sunny day. We noticed that once you hit the open fields that you were truly the solitary rambler. 🙂take care Dave & Jean.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you so much Dave and Jean. Another part of Derbyshire in which I have rarely walked again. Always good when I'm solitary and have the countryside to myself 🙂Thanks for watching, all the best👍

[@stevenpason3758]

Patrick, nice PEACEFUL terrain walk, have not seen a police car on your walks, when I was walking in holmforth, I met a police woman on a farm road, she her job was to walk her beat all of holmform, she reported to Huddersfield,one cop for all holmforth, she told very quiet lately, however the night before, had to give a citation for a noisy argument, I have just finished half of six mile walk, having a coffee at Starbucks, I seen already a dozen police cars how different our walks are, your nice villages countryside walks,mine city streets with nice residential 1900 houses mix 2000 era homes, that you have to be impressed with it's mansion style architecture, some blocks you are awed by several on one block zig zag down side streets, you see something different most of time Keep trekking

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for watching and commenting Steven, all the best 👍

[@jeffallinson8089]

Great to see more of the county that is unfamiliar to me so thanks for another enjoyable film. Your right about the sign for that particular area, it definitely wasn't a public toilet!!

[@solitaryrambler]

Haha yeah that sign was something eh! Thanks for watching and commenting Jeff 👍

[@jobybean4754]

Thank you for another lovely video and relaxing music, and a little bit of your theme tune as a bonus! I had no idea about the stone circle up there, I learn something new everytime I watch your videos. Look forward to trying this walk, thank you for the inspiration.

[@solitaryrambler]

You are so welcome, thanks for the great comments and for watching. Hope you get to do the walk 👍

[@russ3994]

Hey Patrick you are the number 1 you keep pulling them out of the bag yet another fantastic wilk great scenery !! when we come next ( November) it will be a difficult choice of where to start with what you have shown us this year so far !! gonna be based in Bakewell again might see you for a pint ? pub near co-op !! ha

[@solitaryrambler]

Cheers Russ, glad you enjoyed it as usual. I'm sure you'll enjoy your walks in November. You'll have to let me know nearer the time when you're around in Bakewell 👍

[@alisonmoxon7519]

Great vid patrick .. we go and watch the birds at shillito.. then onwards to longstone edge our fav .

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks as always Ali, glad you enjoyed it. Love Longstone Edge too 👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

Nice to see Spring appearing with the daffodils in full bloom, Patrick. Another part of North East Derbyshire that I've never been to before, this looks a most beautiful and scenic part of the county. It was sad to know that the young pilot had been killed in that Meteor aircraft back in the 1950s. There's some lovely woodlands in the area as well as the river which flows through, sounding really peaceful. Many thanks for this video showing, Patrick.

[@solitaryrambler]

I love the spring due to the flowers blossoming, great time of year. The area around Dronfield is pretty indeed, close to the Peak District and Sheffield. Yes a moving memorial regarding the pilot. Glad you enjoyed it Ffranc, thanks for watching 👍

[@michaeldenham9681]

Lovely area. Interesting moorland.Looks like there could be plenty of interest.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for watching Michael, it is indeed a lovely area 👍

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi Patrick, lovely walk and a great video. I've never seen an Adder in real life, only grass snakes.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Rachel, glad you enjoyed it. I've only seen grass snakes too 👍

[@davidearl2038]

That was a grand walk Patrick. Never been to Millthorpe but wrote a little article on the Meteor jet accident in one of my books `Hell on High Ground` back in 1995. Good to see that memorial for the pilot in the village. Might have to have a wander that way sometime. Did you park in Millthorpe? Thanks again for sharing your walks and making these videos, I don`t get out as much as I should do and appear to have become a bit of a fair weather walker. ATB Dave.

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Dave, Millthorpe is a lovely village, always liked it. I parked on a rough layby on the road to Holmesfield. Thanks again for your comments and for watching 👍

[@chatticheswick4939]

7:19 Hang on... are those "free" range eggs? Or are they "free range" eggs where chickens are able to run about and cross roads and such, but one still has to pay for them? Has the UK finally adopted Universal Basic Eggcome... or is it just a pilot program in Derbyshire? I have questions. And why must I "CALL IN NOW"? Maybe I'm not ready to receive my egg allotment at the moment. Perhaps the later in the afternoon would be more appropriate. It all seems rather bossy to me. Thanks Patrick. Another nice walk.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍

[@maxdevlin1240]

How do you decided which walks you usually want to do next? Have you thought about getting a drone with a camera to use in the countryside for some overhead shots, just a thought, look forward to the next vid, take care

[@solitaryrambler]

I'm working through a huge list of places I want to film. I also made a behind the scenes video "Deciding Where to Film", which is in my documentaries playlist. I'm just sticking to filming with my Sony Handycam for now. Thanks for watching 👍
