Superb again so many memories of our trip over to buxton and bakewell the chee dale valley is wonderful and its certainly one for the future millersdale and the whole trail is so etched into our memory and so special ..The Cottages at blackmill where one of our first stops and its so photogenic round there..simply breath taking ...its the sheer rock faces that i envy Patrick as lancashire is such a flat county ... anyway this gives us something to look forward too....Thank you so much for another brilliant video .....regards Frank & Lee.....

[@solitaryrambler]

Cheers Frank and Lee, I know you enjoyed visiting this area. Glad my new film brought back some good memories of it for you both. All the best 👍

[@levimacdonald5188]

I visited bakewell last week very much enjoyed it my first visit to Derbyshire in the Peake district ,, 💙👍

[@kellyshaw7271]

Well, those twenty minute's felt more like only five. That's a sign of a good video. I'm like yourself, i get frustrated at thing's then rant lol. Lovely to know that your family member was coming to stay especially after lockdown alone. It's been a horrid year or so all round. Loved the scenery and splendid walk. What a beautiful channel you've created. Cheers.

[@solitaryrambler]

Well I was certainly doing a lot of ranting around the time I made this! 😂 I enjoyed my family coming to stay later that week thanks, it was lovely. Thanks as always Kelly for your lovely comments and for continuing to support my channel 👍

Patrick has made another wonderful video,love the views . Thanks for the time and effort that you put into making these .

Thank you Bill, pleased you enjoy them 👍

[@jeanheys5327]

Special places we visit seem to put claims on our heart, always tugging us from afar and it’s such a joy to be able to go back. Chee Dale certainly seems to be such a place.

[@solitaryrambler]

Yes Chee Dale is a very special place, like many in this area for me really 👍

[@glennwilson1633]

Another Wonderful video Patrick.. Always look forward to watching your adventures and listening to your amazing accompanying music 😊

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks as always Glenn! 👍

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Wonderful walking....we walked up Chee dale a couple of weeks ago, always a treat.

[@solitaryrambler]

It's great walk isn't it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@MrMattlock]

Another great video Patrick. Back one summer in the late seventies, some friends and I went camping in Buxton on our bikes, but we never made it, because we underestimated the time it would take to get there. So we ended up camping in a field, near Taddington. A lovely lady who lived nearby bought us tea and toast in the morning! We went for an explore the next morning and walked alongside the river at Cheedale. I remember it vividly, but I could never remember where it was all these years later. Now, thanks to your video, I know.

[@solitaryrambler]

Tea and toast, now that's friendly lady! Glad you enjoyed the video Chris and thanks for commenting and watching 👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

There's some real great views on this video. It's many years since I ever went round Taddington and Chee Tor. That old barn at Priestcliffe is a real stunner, with the large tree growing within it. So enjoyable to watch, and many thanks for going out to make this video, as it brings back good memories.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks again for watching and for your lovely comments, pleased you enjoyed it 👍

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

Your videos are real relaxing. Both myself and my partner originate from Buxton, and it is great to see parts of the area that we never explored. Many thanks to yourself for producing these videos.

[@felicitydent7464]

Our local haunts. We live in Blackwell. Cheedale a great spot to take visitors..and love the walk alongside the river Wye.....one of the cleanest rivers in the country..and I once bumped into Larry Lamb there, next to the viaduct, where his son was about to abseil down. They were filming for their father and son cycle ride series....excellent. A really friendly chap.

[@evo1007]

I and my wife just watched and thoroughly enjoyed this video, beautiful location. We hope to bump into you one day as we live in Rowsley. Moved to the location just before the first lockdown and are now trying to find the walks.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for your kind words and for watching. You're only up the road from me then 👍

That was superb as per usual. Thanks for your effort Patrick. This is not a part of the Peak District that I am familiar with so I really enjoyed looking at the lovely scenery and the music score is definitely one of your best. Great work Sir!

[@davidkeel]

Another lovely video Patrick. I've got 26 of your videos saved into a playlist on my KZbin account... more than any other film maker. I find it helps with my anxiety levels too. As lots of other film makers stare into the camera for long periods and it affects my anxiety a lot being stared at. Yours are very mellow and you set the camera up in lots of different situations. And show us lots of scenery. I have found that with some of your videos like the Hollow Of Hutton the cover photo doesn't look like it was sunny so I've shied away from it.. . Only to find out later it's different than that. I'm pleased you're still making these great videos for us. Thanks Patrick.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you David, that's really nice to know 😊 I do try to set up lots of different camera angles to keep the film more interesting, so good that it helps you too. Thanks again 👍

[@DaveFord]

Another enjoyable watch Patrick. Thank you.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks again Dave 👍

[@alecmcdonald4185]

Thanks for your time making these brilliant videos Patrick. I walk a lot in the peaks, mostly keeping local as I’m not far from you in Clay Cross. Have you ever walked round Ashover as it’s only down the hill from where you live. Good views from ashover rock and Overton plus walking beside the river amber to milltown . Enjoy if you havnt been already.👍

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you like them Alec, thank you for watching and for your nice comments. Yes I've done walks around Ashover before now. Normally have been there to meet friends (one from Clay Cross) as it's about halfway between us, so we go into the Old Poets and sometimes the other two pubs in the village 👍

[@suzyqualcast6269]

@@solitaryrambler Old Poets remains as Red Lion in many locals minds, (used to be White Lion next door, now a house), then Crispin agin the Church and Black Swan at top. If you head south to Milltown (also now a house) was The Greyhound and just down the lane towards Butterley remains the Miners Arms.

Another great video Patrick. Hope you had a fab birthday week.

[@solitaryrambler]

I did, thank you Michael! 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Hey Patrick I resonate with you swearing mate. Some situations call for a blow out in frustration. But a nice calming walk after the storm is always welcome. And this did not disappoint. The other Wye sure does have a lot to offer. That gorge is mesmerizing. I can imagine the constant look up, down and around and what with unique steps to negotiate stimulating on all levels. Cool to meet some more folk and about to. Good going. Have a great weekend. Mark

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Mark, yes my language was not great off screen at that time! 😂 I explain a bit more of that in a couple of films I've yet to edit. You'd definitely enjoy this River Wye too Mark, and Chee Dale, for me at least, is the highlight with its gorge. Certainly nice to have met lots of folk on this day. Have a great weekend too Mark 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

@@solitaryrambler Hey it has to be expressed sometimes Patrick - nothing else for it. Yeah I would enjoy that Wye. This was a good hike. I will have a goon weekend. You to.

[@paulbeachcroft3323]

Watched this one whilst waiting to see how the weather pans out. Loved those stepping stones. Hope you had a good birthday Patrick. 90 minutes of my 60th was spent at the chiropractor, trying to sort out my back😂😂😂😂. I see this walk took you the best part of eight hours, which goes to show how much time and effort it takes just to record these walks, then you have to edit the film, lay on the musical track etc......

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Paul, yeah the birthday was really nice. Hope you've recovered now! It did indeed take nearly 8 hours to film this, the reason why I kept mentioning the time as I went along. I might expand on that in a future film. Thanks again Paul 👍

Fantastic content again Patrick. Beautiful scenic walk love the river Wye section. Would love to go their and do some landscape photography, maybe one day. Thank you for sharing and take care.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it John, thanks for watching. This is my favourite part of the River Wye I think, just love Chee Dale. Thanks for watching 👍

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Fantastic walk Patrick. Some real highlights there. Chee Dale sure is beautiful. Tough question - which of the Peak District dales is your favourite? I agree that a walk is the perfect antidote to improve a stressful situation. I’ve not been out in the Peaks for a few weeks as I’ve been moving house. Really missing the place and can’t wait to get back out soon. Always nice to watch one of your videos though to help remind me how beautiful it is there

[@solitaryrambler]

Thanks Anthony. My favourite dale? Mmmm that is a tough one, but Chee Dale would be high on the list. I have a couple of favourites really, and I have yet to make films of them, so all will be revealed when the time comes 😊 Hope the house move has been going well, you forget how stressful it is moving! 😂

what a beautiful walk, Don't you just hate when your computers die on yo lol a huge like from me.

[@solitaryrambler]

It was a lovely walk. Thankfully the computer issues has been sorted now. Thanks for watching 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

Hi Patrick. I sympathise with you about your software and computer malfunctions. Had similar experiences myself. What kind of software/computer are you using? (Apple iMac PC's are usually reliable.) As usual nice gentle refrain waltz music. Chee Dale crossing warnings reminded me of our Dean Clough warnings. At least the stepping stones were above water ! 👍 p.s. excellent camera angles. Belated birthday wishes.

[@solitaryrambler]

Hi Shanita, the issue has thankfully been sorted since I shot this, which I do expand on in a couple of films I've still yet to edit, but it was my Pinnacle Studio editing software that was faulty. Relieved to have got past that now. Glad you liked the waltz in this, I'll probably record more of this in other films. I need to go back to Chee Dale after heavy rain to see if the stones are under water next time! 😂 Thanks for the birthday wishes Shanita and for watching 👍

[@CountrysideWalking]

@@solitaryrambler Thanks Patrick. Rather you than me, wanting to check out underwater stones. Once was enough for me!

Doesn't Chee Dale lead one down into Water Cum Jolly by Dale, the water broadening as it turns right, dammed to feed Cressbrook Mill ?
