Peak District Walk - Three Shire Heads & Shutlingsloe

[@reecorees9552]

More beautiful scenery Dean. Love the little honesty shop come box. What a beautiful day. Great vid Mate. ATB Reeco

[@DeanRead]

+Reeco Rees Thanks for watching Reeco, it really was just what the doctor ordered. I'm not sure how long that honesty shop has been there but it's a great idea, may come in handy if I'm running short on supplies in the future :-) ATB Dean

Hi Dean - Thanks for posting this video! I'm from America and have been visiting the area this week for the first time. I was looking online last night for a walk that was both scenic and challenging and came across this video of yours. Great information provided and I was able to follow your route as outlined except I went up the face and down the side of Shutlingsloe. Being unfamiliar with this area, it was very helpful to be provided with some visual checkpoints to know that I was indeed on the right path. The waterfalls were stunning, the ascension to Shutlingsloe was intense and that last climb up through the valley to the crossroads at Danebower Hollow was no easy feat, at least for me (and a bit of an unexpected surprise)! What a workout but enjoyed every step of the way and continued the walk past The Cat and Fiddle back down to Buxton. You helped make my last day in Buxton quite memorable! Thanks again!

[@DeanRead]

+mhaugen1 Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you had a great time on this walk. Thanks for letting me know how you went while following the route. That climb up to Shutlingsloe gets the heart rate up doesn't it :-) Hope you've had a great time in the UK, safe travels back to the USA. All the best, Dean

[@andreafluffkitten]

As lovely a video as ever. You keep reminding me there is still a load of the Peak I haven't seen yet and look forward to.

[@DeanRead]

+Andrea fluffKitten Thanks for watching Andrea, it's a really great part of the Peak District. Wildboarclough is very tranquil to say it's so close to places like Macclesfield, I felt like I was a million miles away from a city :-)

[@gvoutdoors9362]

The honesty shop - great to see. Glorious weather indeed, hope it's like that in Scotland, I'm there wild camping with a friend too as of the 1st of April :)

[@DeanRead]

+GV Outdoors It really was great weather I've got my fingers crossed for equally great weather for Scotland. We are going to be in Fort William the following week, hope you have a great time and thanks for watching the vid :-)

[@RyanHare]

My favorite YT channel! You're the best, mate! I'm a brit that lives in Brazil and watching your videos just makes me miss the UK more and more... Keep up with the amazing videos!

[@vashway]

Looks amazing really can't wait to do this walk x

[@DeanRead]

+Vee Gladding I hope you have a great time when you do it Vee, thanks for watching

[@vashway]

I'm sure we will. I'll let you know when we finally get to do it x

[@DeanRead]

+Vee Gladding excellent, just followed you on Twitter too so I'll keep an eye out for pictures :-)

[@WyeExplorer]

Hi Dean. Another cracking place to start...I love them bridges as their are so many crossing and stories involved there. And what can I say about the Curlew...the most transcendent sound. Lots near me. Nice and still...a beautiful day for you. Interesting name Shutlingsloe and as you say great views. I think instates they would call that Honesty shop Trail Magic. The release...great stuff. All the best. Mark.

[@WyeExplorer]

Dean Read Hey there Dean...yeah the Curlew and that place you speak of sounds divine. Here we listen to them on a huge flood plain that's a haven for wild fowl. Beautiful! Trail Magic? I keep watching them Appalachian Trail videos and dream like you. I reckon you can make it and will one day even just for a section. Now that's something to think about! The fly tipping is still on...Can't let that one go. ATB Mark.

[@DeanRead]

+Wye Explorer Hi Mark, I'd love to do the 100 Mile Wilderness section of the AT as it looks and sounds absolutely spectacular... One day, one day I'll do it :-) I'd not realised until recently that the Curlew stick to coastal regions all year round, for some reason I thought they migrated here from further afield. I should have checked the RSPB website sooner :-) glad you are sticking with the fly tipping report, will be interesting to see the process unfold. All the best, Dean

[@WyeExplorer]

Dean Read Yes Dean a section is probably more on the cards. The wilderness section is most certainly one to get in during your lifetime. The Curlews? I've learnt something new. Thanks for that. And the fly tipping is a story unfolding for sure. Have a great week...off to Mid Wales - lots of exploring. Mark.

[@DeanRead]

+Wye Explorer Hi Mark. I'd also like to do the John Muir Trail too as that looks amazing, so many adventures and so little time (or money) :-) hope you have or have had a great town in Mid Wales, ATB Dean

[@WyeExplorer]

Dean Read Alright there Dean mate....Mark even. Ha ha! Yeah John Muir...I'm a big fan and the hike brilliant. Mid wales today...another river and more valleys and hills. Have a good one Dean. Mark.

[@razzam1237]

Big Dean Read, fantastic video once again!

[@Yorkshirewanderer]

Excellent as always Dean, looked like you picked the perfect day for a walk, some lovely views from the top of Shutlingsloe too. Thanks for taking us along. ATB Ben

[@DeanRead]

+Yorkshirewanderer I was really lucky with the weather, just a shame it was a little hazy but I won't complain too much :-) Thanks for watching Ben, ATB

[@daviesjon]

Great again Dean! What a beautiful day! Love this time of year when the weather turns for the better.

[@gedheaton1415]

Late as always Dean ,hope your still about, what a great video,totally enjoyed it ,Thanks for sharing

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Ed, this was a great trip. seems like a long time ago now :-)

[@andrewseadon7770]

a great place and a great walk ive done it many times but always aproached shutlingsloe from the other side thats one steep climb you did there . As always 10 out of 10 keep up the great work .......ps the curlew nice touch .

[@DeanRead]

+Andrew Seadon hi Andrew thanks for watching, it is a rather steep climb up that side of Shutlingsloe :-) I've never approached from the other side so I'll have to give that a go through the forest I can see on the map. The Curlew is the sound of summer wild camping and walks so hearing them means good weather is on its way to me :-) ATB Dean

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Another fine walk, well presented. Nice when weather and free-time magically coincide.

[@DeanRead]

+Random Button Pusher Thanks for watching, it really was a great walk and I was so glad the weather worked out in my favour in the end. looking forward to more of the same now spring is here :-)

[@chrismilly]

Another great video, fantastic scenery!

[@DeanRead]

+chrismilly Thanks for watching, I love that part of the Peak District :-)

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Ashley Sherratt and for your kind words. We really do have some amazing spots on our doorstep :-)

[@new25ash]

:-)

[@timjones6434]

Fantastic video Dean, I'm going to retrace your steps. I have visited all these locations but not as one walk. It looks really enjoyable.

[@DeanRead]

+Tim Jones thanks for watching Tim, I hope you have a great walk when you go. ATB Dean

[@lunarmodule53]

Hi Dean, I did this walk yesterday. Considering the modest height of Shutlingsloe it is quite a slog to get to the top. A gem of a walk. Thankyou

[@DeanRead]

+lunarmodule53 it's a really steep little climb isn't it, really gets the lungs and legs working :-) thanks for watching

[@leeetchells609]

The nick name for shutlinsloe is " the Matterhorn of the peak" because of the pointed peak. Nice video Dean.

[@DeanRead]

Thanks for watching Lee, it's a fantastic little hill isn't it. All the best, Dean.

[@Adventure-Cornish]

Another excellent video Dean - Thanks for sharing. ATB Mike #StayCornish😬

+Turtle Bushcraft Thanks for watching John

[@christophersmith2689]

hi dean what can i say that is a stunning walk i think we will have to do that one thanks for posting that really enjoyed it i was off work thursday so we went up grindsbrook up kinder cracking day the sun was out that day made it feel good to be alive anyway once again dean thanks for that take care best wishes chris

[@DeanRead]

+Christopher Smith Thanks for watching Christopher, I have my fingers crossed for more of this weather. i'm so glad that spring has finally arrived :-) Can't beat a scramble up Grindsbrook, haven't done that for a year or so myself, must head back up that route again soon. ATB, Dean

[@AlexBensonAlex]

Looking forward to visiting one day! What's the idea behind the honesty shop?

[@DeanRead]

+AlexBensonAlex Hi Alex, thanks for watching. The honesty shop looked to have drinks, a few snacks and I guess it must have had a money box somewhere on it too but I didn't investigate too closely. Great idea though and it may come in handy in the future if i'm running low while out in the area. ATB Dean

[@mringjeppesen]

Hi Dean.. Thank you for a wonderful guided tour - impressive ornithological skills my friend - Curlew? Bird? well had to google it ;) Great to follow you along the route. I remember the beautiful three shire heads waterfall - but I haven't seen this particular route before? Sure is beautiful - made me want to lace up my hiking boots immediately after a long winter. I could nearly sense spring from here.. as one great poet said: "I believe in process. I believe in four seasons. I believe that winter's tough, but spring's coming. I believe that there's a growing season. And I think that you realize that in life, you grow. You get better." ATB

[@DeanRead]

+MM Outdoor very wise words, certainly makes me think. Thanks for watching mate, really glad that the longer daylight hours are here now even if the weather isn't 100% at the moment. Looking forward too great summer of walking and wild camping. ATB Dean

[@lunarmodule53]

I love your vids. Do you post a route map anywhere of the walks you do. What I end up doing is watching the vid , pause it, flick to my tracklogs software to work out where you are up to on the vid and then resume.

[@DeanRead]

+lunarmodule53 hi there thanks for watching, if you check out the description of the video I have written a blog post which has a route map.

[@lunarmodule53]

+Dean Read Nice one....thanks

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Great video Dean, indeed a glorious day and what a lovely walk, my list of walks to attempt is getting bigger😆, thanks for taking us along, out of interest what berghaus coat and karrimor daysack was you using, cheers craig

[@DeanRead]

+Craig Twiner hi Craig thanks for watching, my list is endless too so I have lots more videos to come :-) My coat is a Berghaus Gore-tex Paclite and it's about 4-5 years old, not sure if they still make it or not. The bag is a Karrimor Alpinist which was a test model so not sure if the final model is the same but it's been very good and lasted well. ATB mate. Dean

[@WanderingJay]

great video, tho im jealous of yr mic on yr camera, i was on dartmoor recently, completely surrounded by a chorus of skylarks, pulled my camera out to record them, only to find id recorded my breathing!..haha..oh well...happy hiking.

[@DeanRead]

+Wandering Jay The RODE VideoMic Go is a great bit of kit, i'm so glad I invested in it as the onboard microphones aren't that great. hope you have more luck next time you try and capture the skylarks, ATB and thanks for watching. Dean

[@daviesjon]

Is Viewranger any good? Would you recommend it? Do you use the premium version? I have Apple Watch too. Cheers mate

[@DeanRead]

+Jon Davies Viewranger is a great App John, I've been using it since it first came out many moons ago. I've purchased lots of Ordnance Survey maps over the years through it so have all the areas I walk regularly covered. I'm not sure what the Premium version offers but I did pay for mine initially and you got map credits in with the deal to purchase what you like. They do some great deals for National Park map packages. It's been a great app for me over the years and I wouldn't fancy moving to another, can't fault it. It doesn't crash and is very reliable now days, had a few issues around 2-3 years ago but it's fine now. The Apple Watch App is ok, only really for when you are following a plotted track so I rarely use it if I'm honest. Thanks for watching the video, ATB Dean

[@AndyKdq]

Are we taking Guess's as to where your jetting off to ?

[@DeanRead]

+Andrew Linney do you need a clue? Here goes.... I have been to the northern frontier and I'm now visiting the epicentre :-) That could be a rubbish clue haha

[@AndyKdq]

Probably Canada then , I was going to Say Iceland before you mentioned it as we're going in April and we've crossed paths several times a few days or weeks apart lol

[@DeanRead]

+Andrew Linney would love to go to Canada and Iceland, sadly it's not there. I walked the length of their northern frontier a few years ago and now we are going to the capital city :-)

[@AndyKdq]

If you get a chance to go to Iceland Trust me you will not regret a minute of it , This is my third trip, Photographic wet dream around every corner , 400 foot waterfalls as a standard, Some crazy hiking to be had, Got the Phantom booked on the flight as well so assuming i have no issues at security then the footage should be amazing

[@pingu00728]

Hello, I stumbled upon your channel after our visit to Edale, looks like we missed a lot of wonderful stuff so we will have to do it again one day, hopefully next month. Anyway with my camera I took a few HD videos, now just one of them which was 1 minute and 35 seconds long took me 35 minutes to upload!!! my question is...... are there more dedicated Internet Service Providers that will let you upload videos much much more quickly as it is putting me off wanting to upload anything? (I'm currently with Sky).

[@DeanRead]

+Richard Aitchison Hi Richard, thanks for watching. It's all about the upload speed of the connection. I'm currently with Sky and we have their fibre broadband so a 20 minute video uploads in about 20 minutes. We did have their standard broadband and that was terrible, it would take over 24 hours to upload a 20 minute video before. All my videos are 1080p and are usually around 1 to 2 gig file size so I'd advise upgrading with Sky or switching to another fibre provider to get faster upload speeds. Thanks again for watching, ATB Dean

[@pingu00728]

+Dean Read Thanks for the reply, unfortunately my street cannot get fibre yet, though i have been trying other options such as video editors to compress the file size more without losing too much detail, and changing camera settings to the 720p instead of 1080p.

[@DeanRead]

+Richard Aitchison Fingers crossed you can get fibre soon. I'm sure 720p will still look good. I was having to upload at 720p in Thailand last year due to the same problems with slow internet.

[@VanSolo-uk]

Nice one Dean :) I said "Hello Dean" to you a few weeks ago in Scarborough, it wasn't you, it was a guy called Pete with a ginger beard and light blue anorak who thought I was mental.

[@DeanRead]

+VanSolo haha :-) nice one. Peak District Pete. I must admit I saw a guy a few days ago that I'm sure kept calling me Dean but it could just have been dude, didn't want to say anything just incase he though I was strange. Thanks for watching mate and I'll look out for you next time I go to Scarborough :-)

[@cyclingwithkiwi3956]

did you have a good sleep doing all that in just one day

[@DeanRead]

+alan mckinnon I did sleep very well after this walk, sunshine and a good stretch of legs did me good :-) thanks for watching Alan

[@thevalleywalker]

another cracking video..... you put some of these tv presenters to shame Dean. :)

[@DeanRead]

+Valley Walker thank you :-) I love making these videos, would love to be able to do it full time

[@RS.Outdoors]

[@RS.Outdoors]

+Dean Read Thanks again. Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. Hope you get the chance to come up during 2016. ATB RS.

[@DeanRead]

+Renegade Scot We stayed at Aviemore a couple of years ago and had a great time walking, horse riding and mountain biking. Really would like to get back there again this year and possibly walk the Lairig Ghru. ATB mate. Dean
