It was a great little overnighter up there, and I had another night just chilling out in the van the following day 😁 I did carry a stove and some food just in case, but wasn't really hungry, and it was nice to just enjoy the sunset. Many thanks for watching! All the best and catch you soon👍😊

There are some lovely ferns in the area, even with the lack of rain. I'll trying sending you some of ours...the yard is a swamp and I can already see where some of my string beans have been flooded right out of their beds. Pretty gorgeous evening that's for sure. Regular morning fog...lots of that here...and the strikes too. A marvelous couple of day! Bruce and Otis

That good old downpour really greened it up as well, made it look great no matter which way you looked. Great view from where you eventually pitched and it looked like you were the only person for miles, so real nice to enjoy the setting sun. The morning looked more traditional UK summer weather but even with the mist, it still did look very scenic walking back. Cheers Alan

Hi Des, I must admit I've been looking forward to watching this one having myself walked from Crowden to Laddow Rocks recently. You sure had a beautiful evening when you arrived and got some great shots of the sun setting. When I was up there I have to say I was really blown away by that view back down towards Longdendale from Laddow Rocks and you captured plenty of good shots of that here. All the best 👍

Hi Mark. A shortie is always a real treat to see! Glad I caught just a fleeting glimpse with the Gopro 😁 The aircraft noise is the only down side with the Peak District, but those views back down the valley in the early evening light certainly make up for it!

Good stuff Des and what a view of the shortie. I wonder if that is a breeding bird? It's been many a year since I last visited Black Chew Head. I recall picking up a couple of flints a bit further north at a location called Red Ratcher too. Bye for now, Chris

Hi Chris. It was fantastic to see the shortie, even if the gopro footage wasn't up to much! 😂 I only had that one sighting, but I'd imagine there are breeding pairs in the area. Perfect habitat for them (aside from their usual problems! 🙁) I seem to remember you mention this area being good for flints when I did a Black Hill video a few years back. I think I know where you mean, down near where the Pennine Way crosses Crowden Brook? Cheers for watching! Catch you soon👍

Hi Terry. The Crowden Camping and Caravan Club site is just at the bottom of this walk, so perfectly placed. They seem to keep space for small tents as it's on the Pennine Way. I love the Dd Tarp Tent for the milder months. Tiny inside, but as an old fart I appreciate the light weight! 🙂
