BLEAKLOW, Higher Shelf Stones + B29 Bomber Crash Site - Solo Peak District Hike

Welcome back to another Peak District hike! In this weeks video I am heading up to Bleaklow where I'll be checking out Higher Shelf Stones, the B - 29 bomber crash sit and the summit of Bleaklow.
Here is a link to OS Maps of a very similar route I plotted before doing the walk. Please only use this as a guideline and properly plan your own route :)

I’ve only walked in Derbyshire once, a little place around Matlock, but after watching this, I think I may have to stop over for a few nights and try some different places! 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing Alex.😊

Thanks for another great vlog 👍

[@walkinderbyshire]

Loved it.

Great video Alex, thanks for posting. I've walked up to the crash site a couple of times and it is a great place to visit. Quite eerie and sad, but as you said, there's so much of the wreakage left, it's interesting to see. You're right on another thing too, it is bog central over that way!

Great video once again 👌

[@andyshearwood]

One of my favourite walks. The waterfalls walk up Kinder from the Snake Forest is another (and much quieter)

[@ervinslens]

Outstanding, absolutely fantastic shots! Place looks so picturesque man!

[@andyWalks22]

The walk from Glossop up to higher shelf stones and back down through drs gate is one of my favourites and also one of the toughest ascents I've done, nice test of your fitness. Love the video, cheers

[@mikes-7160]

Thanks Alex, another great informative video. first class!

[@nicmarlow6388]

wow, that's a huge amount of wreckage up there 😮 almost looks like someone has been littering but it's pretty cool history.

[@BaltistaniBoys]

Nice sound. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.

Wonderful video mate, very informative and as always beautifully filmed.

[@katiebooth2031]

Brilliant video, went a few years ago very sad but beautiful place ❤

[@Darren_Nicola]

Fabulous video again Alex well done from Daz & Nikki

[@gregcoleman7328]

Another super video Alex ! I remember doing part of that route with you some years ago, starting from Birchen Clough Car Park, through the Snake Woodlands onto Doctors Gate and then doing that long old uphill to Higher Shelf Stones! Fantastic views there, I have done it twice since but that climb doesn’t get much easier especially if you forget about the numerous false summits 🤣🤣 Well done for cracking Bleaklow in that weather. I had some pretty extreme weather in the Peaks last week, 60mph winds but Kinder Downfall was performing it’s reverse trick big time!

Great video buddy thanks for the root info much appreciated 👏

[@andrewgoesoutdoors]

Another great video pal!

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Another great video, Alex. One question. You were at Bleaklow Summit. The big 6ft stick and the massive pile of stones, Bleaklow Head? I thought that was the summit. Well, it's where I went on the Ethel Challenge. Can you tell me how far apart they are. When I was up there last, I went to the Kissing Stones, too. Great hike Alex, thanks for sharing.

Did you avoid the very large bog at near the bottom of doctors gate? i had to pull someone out there once who was totally stuck.

[@bebiaman]

no signs up there now i was there 6/7/24
