Oh my, what an absolutely beautiful place. I love the rock walls. Oh! Snakes! Be careful. Fish and chips 😋 You earned it 🙂 Glad you made it down okay. Thank you for taking us along and have a great week!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for stopping by and it was so nice to get a dry sunny morning for a change, such a shame it only lasted till dinner time but at least I kept dry eating my fish n chips in the car, cheers Alan

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hello Alan, looks a lovely sunny morning. Yes have to make the most of the weather for sure. It looks absolutely beautiful. The sky looks beautiful too. Wow the rocks are amazing. Oh wow snakes. Nice fish and chips will be well deserved. Take care x Julie and Tony x

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was a real nice morning, only problem was it was due to rain by dinner time and it did as well :o(. Still, I made the most of it and really enjoyed the walk out, especially as I have been wanting to do this for for ages. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@wendingourway]

Indeed, midweek hiking is the best to keep away from crowds. More enjoyment taking in all those fantastic views without all the chatter of others. Wow, stones to walk on and no wet feet, that's a bonus for sure! Good decision to take in the beauty of the day. Have yourself a great week and maybe the gift of rain from America will miss you on Easter.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I sure hope so as it has been non stop rain every since I shot this last week and the same ahead for the coming week, man what is going on with the weather. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@21Swayzee]

That view above the Moors is amazing! Bummer about the evening rains...but loved that blue sky, with Simpson clouds and rolling green hills...way to rock it.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and a fun morning out, just such a shame the rains came back at dinner time or I would have hiked a lot further. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

No matter how many times I am up on the Moors (I have been going since I was a kid) I never get sick of those views up there, just wish the rain had not come as I had intended to walk further along. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@ItsArtByDonna]

What a beautiful day Alan...great day for a walk maybe not so much for the drone though...I don't blame you for taking it right down...I wouldn't want to lose it in the winds...the rocks are lovely but not so much for walking...such a lovely place to be! Thanks for taking us along!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

You were right about the wind Donna, it was far too strong for the drone, I did try but as soon as it went up, I brought it right back down again. I have waited and waited for years to get one, so I do not want to lose it on its second flight lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Fantastic landscape Alan with spectacular views. Beautiful day and the colors are so vivid. Here in Croatia, there are also several poisonous species of snakes and we hikers must be careful👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I never knew you also has poisonous snakes over there too. I saw my first one last year when it was only a friend shouting that stopped me standing on it, real scary. It was a real nice morning out only spoilt by the fact the rain was due to fall by dinner time. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@grahamarnhem8659]

The route you could see opposite leads to round hill.if you carry on to the old railway line and turn left steeply to the bottom of the valley and then follow the undulating path back to the car park. Roughly an 8 mile circular walk.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

That sounds a perfect loop trail and one I sire will look at next time I am up in that area. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan

Hi Alan! Lots of space in the car park! I called my first few cars 'Lucy'...until I named my daughter that! 😂 It was originally one of my nicknames. It was very interesting to learn how the Wains got their name. You were certainly lucky with the weather. The views were just fabulous. Thank you for taking us along with you. Have a great week ~ Julie & Lucy ❤❤

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and there was a 5 hour window of opportunity with the weather, which I took but it was back to the normal heavy rain by dinner time unfortunately. Thankfully, I was back in 'The Beast' and eating a very large fish n chips by then lol, cheers Alan

[@smoggiewalks578]

An old fav, having grown up in the area. ❤ You could walk over from lord stones for a longer walk. Using lower forest track to do a figure of 8

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Funny enough, I had intended to walk from Lordstones and then do an out and back but the forecast say rain by dinner time, which was right by the way, so I cut it shorter but still, a real nice morning out. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Awesome that you had the place to yourself. One of my favorite kinds of adventure. We get people passing us on the trail all the time too. LOL. We get big changes in the weather in the Spring as well. Sunny, then snow, ice, then melt, cold, hot, repeat. Crazy stuff. Snakes, no problem, just watch out for those cows. Haha. I almost lost my drone in the wind more than once. I got lucky. Nice hike. Beautiful views in a beautiful area. Heck yeah. Have a great day.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Never had such a wet start to the year before in living memory, I only hope that means a long, dry and sunny summer lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Thank you! Cheers Alan

[@ervinslens]

Epic indeed Alan, panoramic views are just spectacular! Here in the Balkans there are more poisonous snakes, while in Sweden there is only one, just like in England.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I'm glad the weather got somewhat better and you were able to do a brand new hike! I always thought you were being funny calling your little car "The Beast," lol. This ended up being a really beautiful hike with great panoramas!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Just over 30 minutes from home and (again) the first time I had ever been there and really enjoyed it too. Real pleased I took the opportunity as the rain had set back in by dinner time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@highlandexplorer990]

Wow, your hike looks amazing! Those views from the Wainstones are breathtaking 😍. I'm so glad you enjoyed the walk! I was on the edge of my seat with the adder story - I wouldn't have wanted to encounter one of those! 🐍. Thanks for sharing the history of the place too, I had no idea about the battle. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures! 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you stopping by. A place I have wanted to visit for ages and this was the perfect opportunity before the rain back in again. Cheers Alan

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

That was a gorgeous morning Alan. And a spectacular walk. The Wainstones look brilliant Yes, Adders will be coming out now. The Walking pole is a godsend to me these days. 😃 Bet those fish and chips tasted good.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

They were superb and well needed as well, I had an early breakfast lol. I would not go out without my walking poles now, I fought against using them for years but had to give in at the end, just wish I had used them earlier, saved a lot of wear and tear on my knees. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

@@AlanMETALMAN yep me too mate.

[@carrollleopard1961]

Magnificent views on top. Rock formations are always beautiful too. I didn’t like to hear about the Adders, seems like it would be too cold for a cold blooded snake. I think I would enjoy a plate of Fish and Chips from your country. Spring has arrived here in South Carolina and the days are great. I plan on getting my EBike out soon to start riding. Thanks again for sharing your great videos. Keep hiking.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Oh I would love an EBike but they are real expensive here. I used to have a mountain bike for years but got rid of it about 10 years ago and always regretted it. Not a fan of snakes and only seen on poisonous one last year and that was one too many for me. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@nightsinthewild]

Lovely Alan. Looks like a great walk! Stunning views ans what great weather you had! Thanks for the history as well. Great vid 😊

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Been meaning to go there for ages and when I saw this was the only rain free morning, I jumped at the chance. Real pleased I did too, as it was really nice and I know it was mid week but I only saw one other person all morning. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@JauneMacReady]

Oh, good choice to get the drone down. Wind ain't a friend of ours tiny flying friends. Plenty time to get some airtime. Great video. All the best ❤

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Too right, I was maybe foolish for even trying but so wanted to get some footage from there but it is not going anywhere and I will be back. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

🐍... I hate snakes! Absolutely amazing views as always, Alan. What a cool path up there! Lookong forward to more videos, buddy. I hope you had a great Easter, and hopefully, it wasnt too rainy!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks, we had a very peaceful Easter, which is just the way I like it and even got two sunny days. Unfortunately the rain is back today with a vengeance, which is great, as we are looking after our 4 year old grandson who just wants to be outside all the time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Alan, indeed. the weather is gorgeous and the winds was easy at first It gave us pleasure to see you hike in this spring weather. Ooops no thanks to snakes hahah. Actually, I encounter 2 black snakes this past weekend. I thought they are sunbathing, but I guess there was another purpose...We just watch out in low bushes and stay on the trails. I did enjoy the story about the destination and the historic Whinstones that are appealing. The panoramic view gives me goosebumps...wow. Sorry about not to be able to fly your drone. The safety comes first. haha You don't want to crash it against those large stones. Soon the mountains are covered with deep green, lively and vivid. I am very excited for your future films. Till then, stay safe.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for stopping by and two black snakes - yikes! I am not a fan of them at all so real pleased I did not see one myself, I did last year for the first time and that was one time too many for me. It was so nice to get a rain free morning out but the rain did come back by dinnertime but just after I got back in the car, cheers Alan

[@yasminshikingmission]

Hey Alan, that path on the other side of the road heads up to Urra moor and the highest point on the moors. It’s a lovely walk up there especially when the heather is out, so definitely worth while heading back and checking it out at some point. 😊 Glad the sun was out for you even if it was a bit windy at the top. Looks like you had a good morning out 😁

[@AlanMETALMAN]

That sounds like a prefect time to do back and do a more challenging route, I love it up there when all the heather is out. Thanks very much for watching the the info for the start of the walk, cheers Alan

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Alan. Absolutely brilliant mate. These areas that are close to our home but we never frequent much are amazing aren’t they. You pretty much get them to yourself, especially in the week. Some beautiful views up there. I was in the Forest of Bowland again Friday just gone. It was epic. All the best mate, and as always thank you for sharing your adventure 😀🥾⛰👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes I saw you were there and a place I have never been before and most lightly never will visit with so many local walks right on my doorstep still to cover. It was a real nice morning out but the predicted rain came down hard my dinner time, thankfully I was back in the car eating a large fish n chips by the. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Thanks very much for watching Anthony and always great views on the North York Moors, unsure why I do not go there more often but I need to get the rest of these Wainwrights knocked off, well, if the rain ever stops that is, cheers Alan

[@justgetoutthereguy]

Hey Alan - totally get what you were saying about the weather - Been awful, so now it really is keeping an eye out for breaks in the rain! This looks fabulous - really enjoyed this. Oh and my beast is called Renée! All the best mate - Adam 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Last 3 times I have been out has been a couple of hours morning break in the rain, which did as was forecasted and bucket back down by dinner time - when it is ever going to send. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Just came across your channel Alan when I was looking for walks in the Yorkshire Moors because I'm going in a couple of days. I love your narrations. Totally different videos to what I normally watch but very relaxing and informative. You've gained a follower

Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

That was a lovely walk Alan, a nice last minute decision. The views all around here are so beautiful on a lovely sunny day. Like how you have called your car the beast since the 70s 😃 Oo I don't like the sound of the weather for Easter.... 😯 I was surprised to hear of the adder that Emz saw, definitely don't want a bite from one of those. Interesting to hear how the historic Wainstones got the name. The views from up at the top were stunning, wise to bring the drone back down with the wind up there ! Nice that the seat is there in memory of Robbie in such a gorgeous place. That looked great 👍~ Anna

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I just hope that weather changes, the rain is really dragging on , so I hope that means we are in for a nice warm summer. I was so disappointed I could not fly the drone, I did try but it was getting really buffered about with the wind, so though be sensible, (which is usually for me) and bring it down, always another day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@ashleyjarnold]

That was a nice hike, Alan, blue skies were all around! You will have to give the drone a name, or maybe you should look for suggestions from your fan base! Nice bit of scrambling at the top, sure why bother finding an easy way. Hope that Easter forecast is fake news!! Regards, Ashley

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I hope it is as well, the weather has been awful, the last twice I have been out there has been a few hours in the morning when it has been nice but rain on both days by dinner time and I hate hiking in the rain. The only thing I can think of is all the nice, dry sunny weather is saving itself till you both come over in September. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@Muddipaws1308]

Did that last year and was a great hike. Headed over to Lordstones Cafe

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I had intended to park and start my walk there Julie but when the weather said it was going to rain by dinner time, I decided at start at Clay Bank instead. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@OSMOneStepMore]

Hi Alan. Sretana and I are the same. We always decide where to go at the last minute but in the end the trip turns out great. It must have been interesting to run into a snake and a poisonous one at that. Here I can say that I have not come across any poisonous snakes (although, never know), and we have quite a few of them in Croatia. I know the drone and wind issues...they don't really like each other. Ugh, how many times have I had to force my drone to land due to strong winds. At that point the controller isn't very useful.😁 The views are so great. Cheers. Sretana and Zac.🖐😀🤗

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Appreciate you watching and yes, I did try and fly it but brought it straight back down, as it was just too windy and not worth the risk. There will be plenty more dry, wind free days in the future but I am just so impenitent and cannot wait for then. Take care, cheers Alan

Sometimes these last minute decisions are the best :) Beautiful views from up there, it looks gorgeous, i'd happily chill out on that bench for a bit to take in the views :) the beast will remain a mystery lol The views are stunning and i need all the help i can get not too fall over lol wow an adder there wow!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, real scary when you see an adder, they are not that big but they pack a big punch, so my eyes were peeled I can tell you. Real nice morning out but that pesky rain was back by dinner time, luckily, I was sat in the car eating a large fish and chips when it did hit lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Great video alan .looks an absolute amazing walk that. Only done the 3 peaks in Yorkshire which are brilliant if you haven't done them 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and only done the highest of the 3 peaks about 20 years ago, which was in preparation for doing them all the following week with some friends. The day before they did it I came down with the cold from Hell so had to bin it and they all went on and did all three of them. Always been annoyed about that cold ha! Cheers Alan

[@tashashaback]

thats a place o take a hike

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It sure was, great views and I only saw one person all morning - bliss. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan

Hi Alan. Fantastic countryside. Not been to those Wainstone's either, but we've got another Wainstone's closer to us in South Yorkshire. Strange how place names often get duplicated! All the best and take care 👍👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Oh never knew there was another one and despite this one only being 45 minutes from home, my first ever visit there and what a great place it turned out to be too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

I'm glad to see you enjoyed you day on my local stomping ground Alan. As I said on Instagram, my daughter and I were there the day before and the weather was very different. The path you pointed to at the beginning takes you up to Round Hill which is the highest point on the North York Moors. You are actually on a section of both The Cleveland Way and The Coast to Coast where you walked. This section you are on, you are on the first of three Moor tops, is know locally as the three sisters. This takes you over to Lordstones Cafe. There is a low route back which gives a circular of just under eight miles. If ever you decide to come back and walk it and fancy a bit of company, I'd be blown away to walk with you. We would no doubt talk Metal. I'll even treat you to a growler at Petch's in Great Ayton. Brilliant video mate. John.

Funny enough I had intended to walk to the Wainstones from Lord Stones doing an out and back but when I saw the forecast of rain by dinner time, I changed plans, real pleased I did as well ads it bucketed it down just after I got back to the car lol. I will be back up there again in the summer, when all the heather is back out again but mid week but I will give you a shout, as long as you do not mind a very slow pace lol. Thanks very much for watching

[@thunder_roaming]

@AlanMETALMAN slow is fine Alan. Thank you.

[@StepsbyKaatje]

That looks like a great last minute decision! Don't like to run into snakes... A battle out there would have been pretty hard to fight out on the top. It's always hard to start hiking again after winter... And I'm also hopefully waiting for the weather to get better and especially dryer... Have a great evening! Kaat

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Very true, this winter seems to be going on for every, so fed up with it now but all will be forgiven if we have a nice and long sunny summer. Thanks very much for watching

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@AlanMETALMAN let's go for a long, warm and dry summer! 😁🌞😎

[@DestinationEarth]

Haha, travelling tramps would be a completely different channel I'm afraid, lol. No bad views from this trail! Fish and chips are always a nice treat. Like you, I don't want to risk loosing a drone. Too much $$$ invested in one to loose it!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching and yes, that wind was just too strong and I would have hated to have lost it on its second flight lol. Nice walk it turned out to be and I only saw one other person all morning but the benefits of hiking mid week, cheers Alan

[@stepheneverett6131]
