Boxing Day off

[@andypandy955]

I had to stop the video to say Craig you are not wrong in anyway. It has happened to me but unlike you I am 70 but I keep asking myself where have the years gone. But it is good to reflect that you have a happy family who love you and want to share those moments with you. I also don't feel my age although I ache a bit. I have nearly finished my little boat and next year hope to explore and sail. I also love bikes and would love one but I had a very bad accident and one of my legs is not too good now. But it has not stopped me. I too have a workshop which I built and I am not happy until I am making something. Remember Craig you are an inspiration to many people who like you have dark times as I do but you help us all get back in the saddle and live. So have a great new year and just remember lots of people care. Happy new Year.

What a beautiful area! You're not weird, you're organic. Your workshop skills reflect this. Enjoy 2025 Mr. Magic

[@JamesHoover-tr7sc]

I'm the same way . My kids are grown and moved out , I have 3 grands right now with more too come . They are a constant reminder of how little time I have left but I wouldn't trade it for the world .

[@ianblack58]

Sounds like that oh wow moment was one of those rare moments of clarity. Embrace that feeling and recognize it for what it is, congrats

[@russparker71]

Good to see you out and about enjoying yourself Craig. The simple pleasures are often the best!

[@markb5985]

Being a grand-pa is wonderful, and now im a great-grandpa and in love with baby Esther, she is truly a joy. So enjoy these wonderful children 👍

Nice post! We, unfortunately or for some fortunately, received 36 cm of snow and temperatures of approximately -12 to-7 C. Actually unusual to have this much snow at Christmas locally in recent years. There was a time when it was colder and a lot more snow. There is definitely a warming trend these days in Atlantic Canada. I am 70 plus so now snowmobiling for me any more lol!! Pulling for spring and bike season again. The new forecast for the next week is freezing rain and rain. They say if you don't like the weather just wait a minute or two. I enjoyed your mini adventure and look forward to your next. Stay Safe and Be Well Craig. Happy Holidays and Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year with many to come.

'Time' Pink Floyd. Good to see the van accessories finished and mounted.

[@markthompson7843]

Welcome to the grandad club. 😂

[@ben-yf9vj]

Fiiirst!!! Cheers, Mr. Jones! Stay positive about the shoulder. I know you'll defy the odds! Thank you for sharing what you do with all of us. Safe travels!

[@fredowen5786]

Looking good, Craig, all revitalised for the new year. You are definitely in your element out there, Best wishes

[@markflowers1814]

Pretty new to watching your channel and I love it. Find it so relaxing to watch, keep up the great work and being a grandad is one of life’s great privileges.

[@jjj7665]

Hi Craig, Enjoy your escape to the mountains, hopefully you can clear your mind about your shoulder and get your positivity back on track. Stay safe and keep well, and have a very good New Year but mainly a healthy one.

[@JimBiddle.]

That looked like a little slice of heaven, especially with the lack of people! The vans looking smashing, will you do a video about the raptor paint? I need to do it on my D2 so looking for any tips and tricks. I know what you mean about the leftovers, my late wife used to put all the Sunday dinner leftovers into a sandwich on the day after. She'd put a gravy soaked slice of bread in the middle, leftovers on top and into a big sarnie. Tasted gorgeous! Look after yourself, take care.

[@TheMadGesticulator]

Enjoy every moment!, thanks for sharing.

[@davidwhite9293]

Nice to see you enjoying your time away from the shed Craig be safe

[@kennethszpindor1723]

Enjoy Craig

[@gerardcullen5131]

Nice one Craig extras on the van look great be safe and have a great new year

[@Preparedprojects]

Nice to see you out and about enjoying yourself Craig, stunning location. Maybe the lads were following Google Maps 😂…I swear it actually goes out of its way to find the most horrendous roads it can to send you down. Van is looking cracking, love the overlander look!..is it L2/H2?..it looks long like an L3 on video…enjoy mate! 👏🏼

[@tommoso55]

I know what you about spending time in your van solo, I so wish I hadn't sold my Nissan Elgrand 3.5 converted camper 😢

[@davidbathe4108]

Rally would enjoy some of you talent with the raptors paint Craig Enjoy life my friend it goes tooooooo quick

[@martinharvey9039]

Raining here in the Philippines... But a dam site warmer than than Manchester.

[@Chambers36TheEnter]

I feel old at 38, I run and cycle a lot so my fitness is fine but I don't mind be closer to the end of my life than the beginning.

[@TheMatlockBiker]

Ey up Morning Craig, it’s nice up there. Wasn’t sure until I saw the “One Way” sign. You could be forgiven for thinking you were in Scotland. Yep, old age does creep up on you. I have the pleasure of drinking with my eldest grandson in my local Si thee

[@anythingoldmechanical]

You look years younger with your beard trimmed very short Craig. I hope you had a nice peaceful Christmas, we did. Buy outdoor trekking in winter?... No way, get your van started- heater on full, and head to the comforts of home. (Just my opinion of course!) All the best, for 2025 ☝

[@user-Merovingian1980]

cars vans hide ... bikes fix .. how i do it 4 wheels are like white goods keep it going till its scrap .. and yes make sure its safe of course

[@johnrimmer5812]

Right up my street, cheers Craig.

[@colsparky651]

[@deandee8082]

[@mickdukes2732]

Bear in mind you have to get back up Craig. We don't want to damage our arm now do we?😅

[@pclaxton78]

10.00 Thanks

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

Thank you so much

[@stevenscott4460]

It's been over 40 years since I was last in that area brass monkey rally was held in the paddock adjacent to the cat and fiddle it pissed down the whole weekend every one got a good soaking we all rode into matlock to the laundry to use the dryers

[@Jools-j2l]

Bubble and squeak, not heard that phrase for years!. You didn't take Blue with you then?

[@cbuzz2371]

Where was that Crag? Looks a bit like Goyt Valley

[@davidbathe4108]

Craig Would you be interested in making a light bar for my Vivaro ?

[@GrandadTinkerer]

I am that grandad. Thanks for the depression Craig.

[@deandee8082]

never know, could have been a serial killer dumping a body, maybe go check? I guess being raised in Bundyville around the likes of Yates, Ridgeway, Bundy, Pickton, Dodd, Bianchi, Russell, Perry, Duncan, Wilson about 30 of em all tolled I may be slightly paranoid?

[@deandee8082]

Blue and his trusty Sidekick don't like the camping?

[@mebeasensei]

Is the Peak District the same as the Penines?

[@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES]

We are south of the Pennines, it all looks about the same though. Thank you for watching.

[@mebeasensei]

@@THEDOGHOUSECUSTOMMOTORCYCLES OK..I'm from Australia but I visited Manchester in the winter of '89/'90 and took a walk out on the Penines! (I think) It was frosty and foggy but we could still see into the valley below. Quite an evocative atmosphere! As was the whole stay!

[@secretsix6]
