[@tim-youtubewatcher2726]

That was a cracking video, really made me laugh !!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

So glad you enjoyed it Tim!

[@paulnicholson1906]

I live in New Jersey and surprisingly we have black bears in this area. I haven’t seen one but they are out there. I have walked near Macclesfield before maybe in the forest, we rented a house near Wincle once. I used to go with my grandad to the Stanley arms sometimes and my wife likes the Peak Cafe near the Cat and Fiddle for a bit of cake and tea. Nice video and I like the Chatsworth one too.

[@juanbackpacks]

Nice Video! .. Loved the bear prank!!!! You had me on that one!!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Juan - glad you enjoyed the prank 😂

Fabulous video sweetheart I so wish I would have gone with you. Plus I could have helped you tackle those bears 😁😘

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

[@grahambarker8129]

[@linedwell]

That bear was proper scary... I'm glad you managed to handle it so well.. 🤪

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Yes it was 😂

[@tentipiwildcamping]

[@dearmountains3431]

Absolutely brilliant, what a beautiful hike video, keep up the great work.❣😊✌✌

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you! Will do!

[@GeoffSinderson]

Just did this walk in April - been looking forward to it for about 5 years as I was in the area just before Covid struck. Really enjoyed the walk though it was very windy.

[@Peter-55]

Hi Mary, great video again, thank you. I am getting back into walking this year and the Peak District is the first area on my list. Your smile and enthusiasm is infectious 😊

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

So glad you enjoyed it Peter - thank you! 😊

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

And the Best Actress Bafta goes to....Mary Mansfield! 😋🐻

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

🤣 Thanks Brian!

[@anitavincent7447]

I heard of storm Dudley, quite the record breaker, glad you made it out on time. You’re quite courageous heading out with this kind of prediction, I’d be holed up for the duration. You really got me with the black bear, 10 points for you. I laughed uncontrollably. Always beautiful scenery and excellent video, and the special touches (heart, tree tops seen from below, slow motion of your movements, etc) never boring. Thank you always for the laugh, the wonder and the awesomeness. 🙏🏻🥰👏🏻

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Anita, I knew I had a window before it fully got here after midday. So glad this one got you laughing 😂 and that you enjoyed all the little things too ☺️

[@susanmansfield8025]

Phew! You completed the walk just in time. That little bear wouldn't have protected you from such a storm. Great video Mary x

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much Mum 🥰

[@hikesome]

Beautiful new adventure Mary, thank you so much for taking us with you, always good to start the day with your smile in a video intro and that at half past 8 in the morning ;) Beautiful trail, would love to shoot a hiking video there one day, even if the weather conditions are almost like here in Germany at the moment, windy, grey and cold. Thank you for inspiring. Have a wonderful Sunday, Mario

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

So glad you enjoyed it Mario 😁

[@M0XCR]

Well I was shocked! Never knew we had black bears in the UK…..Love it! 😂

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

[@dalmotavares824]

And São Francisco River ? Serra da Canastra. 2800 km até o mar, Good Morning Maria. The Amazonas River has more than 6000 km Wooo Eh trem grande sô 🎩

[@hannahgreenlee6872]

One of my favorite places to walk and run but it is always windy at that trig!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Oh how fantastic to hear I was on your stomping ground! 😊

[@1982Noddin]

Great video! Shutlingsloe one of my favourites! Have you just been up Mill Hill area on Kinders Western Edge?

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Yes I have. I'm pretty sure I did that when I did a circular up Ashop Clough and then along the Pennine Way. Great walk!

[@1982Noddin]

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I thought I saw you getting into your car, I was parked in front of you, just been up onto Kinder

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Sorry that was a while ago - but on Friday morning I did hike around Harrys Hut and Lantern Pike and parked in that lay-by where I think I saw you too early afternoon. It was a gorgeous day wasn't it - bit too warm for a thermal baselayer and fleece😁

[@1982Noddin]

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures exact same place I'd been up to Harry Hut. I recognised your smile!

[@juhakaaro9656]

Hey, Mary! You did found a Finnish black bear in the woods. That Panda is originally from Finland. You have a good taste 😄

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

😆

[@LukeAndersson1]

Hey Mary, loved the video. I don't know how you got your camera to be so steady up on top of the summit with all that wind, and the bear sighting had me going. I thought you really had a bear! Too funny. I fallowed you on your PCT through hike and look forward to watching all your new videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much Mike - glad the bear sighting had you going 😂

[@michaelheyes7324]

Stop pinching Derecs sweets he'll have your guts for garters 😆 great vid, I though you were going mad for a minute 😆

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

🤣🤣🤣

[@seantran4178]

What's the heck, is that? You got me, almost have a heart attack, I'm so worried about what happen next.!! .... WhOooo....OMG.!!

[@howardmcknight9773]

Did you feel like continuing your walk after having that meal mid hike Mary, I think there might be 2 bloomer videos coming up at the end of the year.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

I was quite re-energised actually! It certainly helped warm me up a bit for the descent.

[@Columbia.Hiking.Club.29212]

It is the Gummy Bears that will get you.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

😂

[@dona5198]

Hello Mary, I would like to tell you, that if you should ever go to Dove Stones Reservoir. Take a hike from the car park and go round in a clock wise direction, Keep to the foot path on your way round, and soon you will come to a wooded area which is on your left, and as you come to the end look out for a fallen tree about 5 to 7 foot steps from the foot path. There you will see this tree trunk which has coins hammered into it, the coins are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, pence peace, and foreign coins from holidays. This collection of coins were started by me two years ago, in the hope that other people would follow suit, I did leave a hammer on a chain but last year when I went, it was no longer there , Someone had decided to pinch it. So Mary if you should go this way don't forget to leave a coin. Thanks, See you soon Mary. PS If you should find it, please add it to your video

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

I certainly will Don A - thanks for the info!

[@johnalden5821]

You actually had me going there for a second on the bear sighting. But then I was, like, "Wait -- this is England. There ain't no bears in there." We heard about that storm even over here. Hope everyone is OK.

[@keithcarper8809]

So, the trig points are placed at high wind velocity areas? :D Remember, the bears are more afraid of you... Thanks, Tink!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

With all my giggling Keith I'm sure they are! 🤣

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Why are there padlocks on the cement marker? Oh yeah, the wind was coming up for sure. Nice touch with the bear. You should be an actress! John from MI

[@stevenvarner9806]

The inlaid brass mounting plate and three tie downs are to hold a standard Ordnance Survey theodolite. People put lovers' padlocks on the bolts like they do on bridges.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much John - and for Steven to answer that one for me 😁

[@timflinders8893]

Mary: Loved the video;, but wonder why ou haven't posted a new one .....everything ok?

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much Tim, new one out this morning! It's been a combination of a few things but mainly being very busy - should be back on track again now though.

[@nickcooper1260]

That may have been Bigfoot, which is often mistaken for bears.

[@paulinew8680]

Really enjoyed this video Mary. I’m going to try the food pack as it did look really tasty. Also love your blue legging. Are they wind proof?

[@jones1068]

Leggings are fab for hiking.

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks Pauline! Not really, although they do have a brushed inner fabric and they are thick so keep me a little warmer than normal ones.

[@JazzFlop212]

That looks so beautiful!!! I hope you are doing well Mary. I loved your PCT videos. I am heading out there in 2 weeks!!!

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

How exciting - have an amazing time!

[@JazzFlop212]

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures Thank you! I hope you do some great hiking this summer!! Can’t wait to see!!
