[@hughsleggs2632]

Very grateful for the effort, research, filming and music. Informative and entertaining productions. Beats many mainstream tv programs.

Many thanks for the kind words Hugh, much appreciated 👍

[@freestyletowers2617]

Hey Patrick, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.i love keeping up with your films and I'm so glad I found you on KZbin.that was a very emotional place for me when I filmed it, keep up the good work and take care 😊and I love the hat taking off 😆

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks John, you are right of course about explaining myself. I'm glad you found me too as I've enjoyed your content also. I found the crash site emotional when I was filming there too. Had to keep that hat shot in!😁 Thanks John for watching and commenting👍

[@peterbarnes6764]

Hi Patrick. I've watched all your films. Some of them several times. If you put a film on every day I would think I was in 7th heaven. You are so positive on your films. Keep up the good work

Hi Patrick,I’ve only just watched your B29 crash site video,I visited this location a couple of times in the past,as you were saying people don’t have to watch every video but what I do is select what takes my fancy,for example,your Hutton le Hole video which led my wife & I to take a 3 night break there,very enjoyable,keep the adventures coming & atb Colin P.

Another great walk Patrick you are one brave man! I’ve only walked two miles on Pennine Way from Edale and that was a few years ago. The Snake Pass is brutal in a car but against the wind as well must have been difficult. It’s a fabulous bleak and beautiful place . Thanks for walking t nd sharing it too. The music just added to the majest of the landscape. One of my favourites .🌸🦉🌺🌻🌷

Thanks as always Eric for all your kind comments and for taking the time to watch. It was a surreal place indeed. All the best 👍

[@yorkiebuck]

This is a first class walk which I can also recommend.

[@solitaryrambler]

It is indeed, thanks for watching👍

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Another great video, Patrick. I'm like you, I have a core of people who I watch, an outer circle which I try to watch when I can, and those that I drop in on every now and again and watch a vlog or two. Don't let them get under your skin. As for your videos, Patrick, you can post every day, and I'll watch every day. They are so well researched with great cinematography. The Over Exposed is definitely an eerie place. The thought that 13 people lost their lives on that very spot gives it reverence to me. I found that people were talking in hushed tones. It is good and right that their lives are remembered. Bleaklow Head, I've been there a few times, maybe four, but I always seem to push the pole straight. It is that wobbly up there, and I ended up on my bum last time I did it. The Kissing Stones are beautiful from that certain angle, and I enjoyed climbing the Hern Stones taking some pictures as I did. I really enjoy your vlogs, Patrick, and of course, I can relate to them more when I have done the walk myself. When I went hiking with Steven (A Tramp In The Hills), he said something very interesting. 'We are all just hiking, you would think the vlogs would all be the same, but everyone is different'. And that is so right. We all have our own way of telling the story, our own angles that we shoot from, and although we hike the same hikes, no two vlogs are the same. You certainly give so much more depth than me and fully research it all, too. I'm a hike and a point, and you can tell. But that is what makes us so unique as vloggers. Our approaches. Thank you so much for sharing, Patrick. I have really enjoyed it and remember...... HANG ON TO YOUR HAT!!! 😂😊

[@solitaryrambler]

Haha yeah I had to keep that hat shot in Chris! 😂 I occasionally just get a little riled when someone makes a comment like that, so that's why I said what I did on Bleaklow. You're right though, I shouldn't let that get under my skin. This was my first time onto Bleaklow Head. I can imagine that wooden pole has been straghtened and pushed over many times. Good words from Steven. We are all very different indeed, which is a really good thing, and I enjoy watching your vlogs too. I've been making film now for many years, so I guess I've become a bit of a perfectionist over time. Therefore, I've enjoyed spending a lot of my spare time working on the editing of each of my videos to make them as interesting as possible, just as if I was watching them for the first time myself. Thanks very much Chris as always for taking the time to watch, comment and of course your support too. Always appreciated👍

[@SetForAdventures]

This definitely was a breezy hike Patrick but a beautiful one 🤠👍 You definitely struck the right tone with regards to the B29 Wreckage (A fitting memorial 🙏🏼) Best regards Simon

[@solitaryrambler]

There was sure a breeze in the air Simon 😁 It was a wonderful site to visit, very sad place, but also totally interesting and remarkable to see. Thanks Simon for watching and for your support 👍

[@grayfreeman]

I'm watching this in retrospect, having done the walk this week, when the mist came down, the rain came down, visibility was severely reduced and my dog fell in a peat bog and wasn't impressed. Didn't see a soul at all and decided to abort after an hour, so didn't get to the crash site. Nice to see what it all looks like it better weather. Thank you for posting.

[@carrollsha]

Fabulous walk and an interesting and moving commentary. Thank you, Patrick. I discovered your channel whilst researching my ancestry in the Forest of Dean, and became hooked.

[@solitaryrambler]

That's great to know, many thanks for your comments and for taking the time to watch👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Great video and a really nice walk with plenty of interest along the route. I have visited some of the aircraft crash sites in the Cheviot Hills in Northumberland and it is always moving to see the crash area and to think of the crew that lost their lives. Cheers. Eddie.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks for watching Eddie and for your comments, glad you enjoyed the video. I actually found it quite moving when I was here filming the crash site too. All the best👍

[@garyreeves30]

Thank you for the videos excellent stuff

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you like them, thanks for watching! 👍

[@michaeldenham9681]

Quite a while since I was up that way. The wide covering of wimberry bushes looked very attractive, though I don't remember seeing so many; but then again, most times I was up there it was in the winter months when they would be much duller. The crash site these days has changed. There used to be so much gleaming stainless steel, but it seems to have weathered a lot over the years. But it was really nice to be taken there again, thanks to your film. Many thanks.

[@solitaryrambler]

It was great to capture the wimberry bushes on the moor when I was here, they looked attractive indeed. The crash site is certainly looking weathered now, but I guess the preservation of it is meant to reflect that possibly? I did notice that the American flag is a recent addition. Thanks for watching Michael and for commenting👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

My word, it was most certainly very windy upon Bleaklow, Patrick, but you had the fantastic views from the top there. It was without doubt a very tragic accident with the aeroplane in the late 1940s, and in such a desolate spot. The rock formations you show are amazing geological outcrops. An amazing place, and many thanks for this production for us all to enjoy. Keep well.

[@solitaryrambler]

This is perhaps the windiest walk I've filmed, but definitely worth it for the crash site. I love all the rocks on Bleaklow and other moorlands in the area. Thanks as always Ffranc for watching and commenting 👍

[@grahambarker8129]

My fave place in the peaks, been there a few times, well overdue a visit before winter kicks in proper rough up there, cheers pat brill vid as always.

Hi Patrick, Thank you again for another interesting walk, It was sad to see the plane that crashed and took the lives of the men on board. So pleased you managed to get your hat back it certainly was windy. You find such interesting places to visit. Look forward to your next walk. take care, Dave & Jean.

[@solitaryrambler]

Morning Dave and Jean. The crash site is a very sad place, but so interesting at the same time. I'm glad I retrieved my hat too, that taught me something! 😁 Thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

[@kellyshaw7271]

I'm not surprised you lost your hat. I think that was the gustiest wind that I've ever seen you face on a walk. I recall your Facebook post, I was ecstatic. I felt we were spoiled with one a week for a few months. You will always get one moaner no matter what you say or do. Why they had to voice that I do not know 😁 A few of my friends have visited that crash site. It's very sad and a fitting memorial. Those young men never made it home sadly. A tragic end and I could see that you sensed the sadness of it all too. As always it was an enjoyable walk to watch. A lovely blue sky albeit windy and nice green hillside. Cheers Patrick, it's always a pleasure. PS I'm glad you got your hat back 😁

[@solitaryrambler]

I'm glad I got my hat back too Kelly, taught me a lesson there! 😁 Well that particular comment riled me at the time as i had no idea where it came from, but there you go. It sure is a sad place to go, but the crash site is so interesting to see. I think it has been one of the windiest walks I've filmed, but it was a lovely one all the same. Thanks as always Kelly for watching and commenting 👍

Enjoyable video as always Patrick. Definitely lives up to the Bleak in Bleaklow name at times! I really like Bleaklow though. Quite like the remoteness of places like Bleaklow and Grinah stones. I know what you mean with KZbin viewing. I just don’t get the time these days to watch as many videos as I like. Always make time to watch yours though as I always enjoy them, even if I don’t comment on them all.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Anthony, that's much appreciated. When I watch videos I don't always comment on them either. Bleaklow is awesome indeed and the remoteness of it is part of the appeal. Hope you're keeping well👍

[@petercollins7848]

Thank you Patrick for such a brilliant video. It brings back memories of doing Bleaklow many years ago now. It was late in the year and it was getting dark, we sort of lost our way and just managed to get back to the car on the Snake Pass as night descended! It certainly is well named! 😀

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks for your kind words Peter and for watching. Yes Bleaklow is an apt name! 👍😀

Hi Patrick, don't beat yourself up about the idiots on here who're intent on giving negative comments, we appreciate the time you give in making great films of your walks for us to enjoy, they're on here for ever, we've even re-watched some of them again Anyway it's been 47 years since I walked over Bleaklow on day one Edale to Crowden 17 miles in a day on my Pennine Way journey with Scouts, about time I went back. Keep up the good work mate

[@solitaryrambler]

It was just a one-off comment from a friend actually, but I've no idea where it came from and why it was necessary. Anyway, I shall continue with my film making as much as I can. Thanks for your support Steve and for taking the time to watch. All the best 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

It sounded a very windy day for your Snake Pass walk. Landscape looked very bleak but majestic. Not been there myself. good point your comments about posting and watching videos. I must say I agree. Not always easy keeping up watching regularly. Do you schedule all your films ahead in one go or as and when due? I've found the scheduling option preferable to have breaks in between. Sad about that plane crash. Loved the minor chord progressions in this piece of music. Very nice Patrick.

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Shanita, yes there was a slight breeze this day 😀 I do schedule my films to publish every Friday morning. I was scheduling them fortnightly, but because of the number of films I had been making, it got to the point where some of them could end up going public a year after they were made! 😀 It's a good idea to have breaks, and despite what I've said above, I did leave a month's break before last weeks film. I think at the moment I'm just trying to get out and film when I can as things happening in my life may at some stage leave less opportunities to get out. Thanks Shanita for your support, for watching and for your comments, especially regarding my music👍

[@alanparkinson9135]

I have two special reasons for thanking you for your video. First, I spent many hours walking around Kinder Scout when I was a teenager (70 years ago) and it was great to be reminded of the wonderful scenery. The second reason is to thank you for the scene of the air crash site. I have a short description of that air crash in my recent book "Maralinga Mystery", in which I explain that the aircraft was one of eight which took thousands of photos and half a million metres of film, of two atomic explosions at Bikini Atoll. I had read about the crash and now I have a picture in my mind as well. May I add another short story about air crashes and Kinder Scout. During the war, my father was looking out of the rear window of our house in Strines and he suddenly said ""There's a German aircraft." A moment later, he said "Oh, he's crashed" and so he had.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks for all your comments and from for taking the time to watch. Glad you enjoyed the video. Lovely short story from your father 👍

That's a Tilley hat so a bit more than a quid. Thanks Steven for watching and commenting 👍

Sorry Patrick sorry,80 quid, just wanted to say better loosing your hat no matter what it cost is nothing, to loosing your life blown down cliff, have nice day, one more thing , I saw a person walking along of an edge of cliff at the top orme at llandudno, took pictures, the rescue team helicopter came fast, the fellow had multiple broken bones, his mother saw him fall, made the local news, it was very windy, many loose stones, watch yourself you never know
