Derbyshire Lost Railways Winter Wonderland

[@markg99]

Looks like a really enjoyable morning out there, Paul. Good to see some more local trails and their history 👍

Aww thank you for sharing buddy 👌🏻👍🏻. I used to be the security for pleasley pit from 2016 to 2022 and boy I loved it. Although a little Erie and did hear plenty of whispers and talking on the site at 4am lol 🤦🏻‍♂️🤭. If you didn’t see a rabbit or wildlife when you checked the site there was something a miss. But anyway that’s a different story. They also have a cafe on site if you wanted a cuppa or a breakfast etc from 10am till 1pm I think. A lovely place to visit. Loved this one.

Thanks Paul, what a beautiful setting! Perfect with the snow. So appropriate to wish you & your family merry christmas! & a very happy new year, plenty of explores for 2025. ❤😊👍🎅

Nice to get a mention 😉 there's a little more remains other side of the path, some brick wall remains, not sure what they were, maybe they were the bakehouse... 😁 Always blows me away how high that embankment gets before it reaches the Teversal track, plus I do love that cutting with the exposed rock... So you've got the Teversal trail to do, plus the Meden Trail too... 🤔😊

The Rowthorne end of the tunnel was totally buried when the cutting was turned into a dump / landfill. Bin lorries used to tip there throughout the 60's & 70's. We used to play along the old railway at both ends when we were kids. At the site of the old station there used to be a pair of derelict wooden freight wagons that had black square painted on them with the word Explosives on them. I assume they were left over from the old military camp that was based at Hardwick. Would've been approx 1973 last time I was there.

[@eggy77]

A shame they aren't still there or whatever was left of them

Cheers Paul! Another wonderful video. And yeah, let Gordo set the rude car park folks straight about blocking you in. 😁 Happy Christmas to you and your family!

[@WobblyRunner]

Thanks Scott. Happy xmas to you too. 👍🎅

[@psychicspies673]

A fitting end to the year! Impromptu explores are the best. Merry Christmas to You, Mrs WR and Gordo!

[@WobblyRunner]

Cheers Jon. Merry xmas to you and the missus and the girls too. Have a great one🎅👍

[@amberdy12]

Great video

[@WobblyRunner]

Thanks very much 👍

Merry Christmas. My favorite training loop Tibshelf to Pleasley and back via Sutton & Stanton Hill nearly all off road, using Teversal, Silver Hill, & Rowthorne Trails. + a few bridleways, a cut through Hardwick hall and the odd back road. Teversal trail has a lot to offer but you have to look hard to find it! not lived there for nearly 4 years now so was nice to see it again, thank you.

[@WobblyRunner]

Great stuff!!! It's a lovely part of the world isnt it. Very under celebrated. Last week I did the same triangle loop of Teveral, Sutton, Skegby, Pleasley and back to Teversal.

[@WobblyRunner]

....and Merry Christmas 👍🎅🙂

What a beautiful crisp day, and such a pretty walk. Well done spotting what traces there were left. That tunnel portal looked very nice. I wonder if it's under all the landscaping, or long gone. Ah just read a comment below about it being a rubbish tip...:/

[@maestromanification]

Fantastic weather conditions Paul. Glad some of it survived until the 80s pairs of 20s or a 56 on MARS hammering down there Shame they haven't put mock ropes on the winding gear Merry Christmas to you , your misses and gordo. Thanks for some great videos hopefully see you next year

[@WobblyRunner]

Cheers Russ. Yeah That cutting especially would be fantastic with a few engines powering up the gradient. Have a great day today. All the best to you and your good lady. Cheers for watching this year and glad you've enjoyed them.

[@maestromanification]
