[@danielwheatley2525]

i have a 20 foot RV and sometimes do an overnight camp around my area. i gotta tell ya my friend that i watch your channel all the time and have convinced my wife to get out and do it more. thanks for the inspiration mate. by the way, your channel is the closest thing I've found to Doc Martin. cheers from across the pond my friend. love the channel.

[@rebeccabrown5014]

Doc Martin! I was trying to remember the name of the British show I used to love watching because Brendan’s adventures remind me of the show, also. I’m so glad you commented. 😊

[@Andywelsh91]

Another great video mate, always look forward to the next one Please keep them coming! See you soon and take care

[@BrendanExplores]

Thanks buddy 🙂 loads more to come, hope you enjoy the next video of the peak district 👍

[@dolceitalia5846]

Brill video! Love the Peak & Lud’s Church is a great walk (when you don’t get lost in the dark like I did 😂)! Can’t wait to see all the other adventures of ‘24, you have in store :)

[@BrendanExplores]

Thank you and yeh there was some beautiful stops in this one 🙂 plenty more to come in 2024 👍

[@alexspencer5971]

Aup, i regularly camp in the Peak District, Castleton (Mamtor) is busy and noisey. I'd recomment Wyming brook not far from Hathersage, or A road called, the Dale at Stanage edge. Both are good park ups.

[@BrendanExplores]

Yeh a few vans there that night mate but the problem was with the boy racers.. noisy so and so's. Thanks for the park up suggestion 🙂 I'll pop it on my list 👍

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Great cideo guys i love how you two are such great friends and can bounce of each other. Its a great location and so much to see. Did you eat all that cake 🫣 🤣 mam tours a great walk access along the disused old road. That park up is well known for boy racers. Great trip cant wait for part two. Stay safe guys 🫶🙏👍

[@BrendanExplores]

Ahhh thanks for the heads up mate 👍 looks popular with the van lifers but it's a shame it's ruined by the boy racers.. glad you enjoyed the video and there is plenty more to come 😁

[@harsingh6451]

Bloody hell mate! That morgue and mental asylum was a bit scary. Great adventure though, loved the video as usual 😀👍🏽

[@maggi666]

Gradbach and the Roaches are our 2nd home. We hiked 10.6 miles there last monday and again on Wednesday. It's awfully muddy right now, though, due to us having so much rain. Love luds church too, and those bunch of rocks you walked up are known as the castle.

[@jelho4654]

I live a couple of miles from st edwards,the church is currently for sale. My husband worked in the hospital til it closed. The water tower is a listed building i believe so it coukdnt be knocked down when thwy started to build the housing on the site. No one wants the morguenso its just been left,also a listed building i think (not sure). Theres also a school and church in leek that are called st edwards. We looked at buying a house on the hospital site but it was just too eery for us and we settled in a nearby village. Many people also wild/stealth camp up the roaches and a few yrs ago there was a huge wild fire from idiots lighting campfires. Theres people who do night checks now,not sure how often. Not a place id like to camp though,i cant cope with the wind at the top lol. Luds church is fantastic in summer,but very sludgy and wet and murky during winter and bad weather. Great video,from a local of the area,i enjoyed it thankyou. Happy travelling.

[@sallymurray2147]

Great video brendan liked the walk that you both did Buxton looked nice shame about those cars at the end

[@BrendanExplores]

Thanks Sally 🙂 yeh Buxton was lovely! Great park up if it wasn't for those boy racers 😔

[@jbrislen1]

Hi thanks for the vlogs!! I live just outside Buxton and work in Buxton....in answer to some of your questions....Buxton has very mixed areas... some more affluent and some really not!! You parked outside the Crescent Spa Hotel which has only, in fairly recent times, been renovated into a hotel. It has previously had a varied history including hotels, part of a hospital and then offices etc for the council. History waffling over 😂😂

[@BrendanExplores]

Thank you very much for the info! Very interesting to know some history 🙂 so that is a hotel then? I thought it looked like that 👍

[@DCD-b5b]

I hope that guy enjoys his new microwave 👀. Fantastic video Brendan as ever, good to see Steve again 👌👌👌👌

It's the same up here where I am also our old mental Whittingham Hospital was built in 1873, closed in 1995 and demolised in 2016, A lot of urban explorers used to venture into it, has a dark history behind it and a documentary was made for ITV if I remember correctly.

I might try and find that documentary 👍. Crazy to think it only closed in the 90s.. all the dark stuff that would of gone on. Scary to think about really

What I do with cheap steak is give a good pounding cut into strips and make up a nice Korean sauce mix cut peppers into strips too some mushrooms etc fry it all up get a good char on it before adding the sauce absolutely delicious.

[@matth7272]

When you went to the morgue, my brain went to the iron maiden song i think it was called murders in the rue morgue and i think it was on the killers album. I may have got it a bit mixed up.

Good video mate, not far from me the peak district isn't! Well it's even closer to you actually thinking about it! 😂 looking forward to next weeks, I haven't been to Bakewell for ages and I'm hoping you had a Bakewell tart too! If not I recommend you drive back asap 🤣

My favourite moment of this film was the random bloke carrying a microwave across the street to harmonica music. Im glad to see the people of Buxton (lovely place BTW) are not too posh to carry their own small appliances. 🤣

[@leec7306]

You should have neen really brave and camped next to that morgue and had a good look around at night. That would have been very amusing although clean pants may have been needed. That steak looked spot on, even if it wasnt well done. 😂. Keep the videos coming pal.

I parked/slept at that spot right behind you in November. A lot of van lifers, and it's generally laid back but very busy at times, so expect cars popping up and down that dead end. I had an ok sleep though when I was there. The peaks are way too busy since 2020, I remember it was a lot quieter before then...

[@sharonbarlow2262]

Welcome to my part of the world. Sounds like your going visiting the plane wreck above my home town Glossop in next weeks video. . Lauds church was used by a group of worshippers in the 1400s who were against the Catholic Church they were called Lollards. Many were executed for heresy. The crescent in Buxton is a spa hotel and jointly owned by the county council and by Rough council and a holding company. They have recently renovated it. You should have tried the Buxton pudding it’s a very old recipe and the hairy bikers made it when they visited the area. Be interesting to see where Steve takes you next week, but if he didn’t take you to padley gorge then you missed a lovely walk. If your up this way again go for a walk along the torrs riverside park in new mills over the millennium bridge and pop into shaws bakery for a vanilla slice they are the best thing ever. Or the cod and cake chippy in Whaley bridge for not just the best chippy but the homemade cakes are to die for.
