That stile looked a tricky one Shanita, I was rooting for you as you were squeezing through 😁 I was interested to hear Michael talking about maintaining stiles, gates, signposts, etc. I've encountered that a lot myself lately where paths have been very hard to find or follow due to lack of maintenance. Loved the stone cycle sculpture on your walk. "Slumbering" is a great name for your musical score Shanita, another enjoyable piano piece there. All the best 👍

Such stunning views! You’ve really captured the essence of these places. Thanks for sharing such an amazing content! 👍16

What a beautiful walk, once you clear the houses and the smiling bin. You said you weren't quite well Shanita. I hope you have recovered. Michael is never lost, he is just unsure of his current location. Sadly, things change over the years and Green Belt gets sold off. It rather defeats the idea of having one. It isn't about how fast you go but the enjoyment you get on the hike. None of us are getting any younger sadly. I certainly feel the miles these days. Those squeeze gates are really tight too. Thanks for sharing Shanita.

I know this area well of course, just a 5 minute drive from home, I'm often at Burrs for a morning walk. If you're in that area again, let me know and we can meet up for a brew. The bench opposite the sculpture of the children at Walmersley brook is my favourite seat for sitting and listening to the birds. The other two benches get worse every year. Haven't tried that link route from Kirklees to Burrs across Longsight Road, interesting.

I do like Barrowford....it has a Booth's supermarket for starters! Often though I tend to just pass through on my way to the Dales. I visited the Heritage Centre in the early 2000s and don't remember it being as nice as it looked in your film Shanita. Perhaps I need to go again. Hope you and Michael are well.

pity you missed all the mining history, you were actually stood on a pit heap at one point

Did you make a wish in the fairy stream?...the walled garden looks wonderful...Loved all the names for the Privvy, even the rude ones..ha ha..A friend once told me that he knew of a Blackbird that lived in a churchyard and it used to Sing "here comes the bride"...i think he may have been pulling my leg...A real interesting route, enjoyed it.

That was a great walk Shanita, a bit of everything in it as Michael was saying. I've heard of Blacko Tower but not familiar with the other places you visited. I was smiling to myself when you were reading out the privy by any other name sign 😁 Nice piece of music again in "Casual Encounter". I think when you had your tea at the end, that's the first time I've seen Michael without a hat. All the best 👍

What a lovely walk, full of interest, we are definitely going to do that one, but not parking at the heritage centre, that is expensive. Nicely put together video Shanita with another pleasant piece of music "Casual Encounter". Did you use a little wireless mic when you were sat chatting?

Beautiful parks

So beautiful area, great nature sounds and filming. LIKE 22 ♥

I loved your selfie, well done, you’re a natural x x x 🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 x x x

Some lovely scenes there Shanita. I've lost count of the times I've driven past Plunge, between Norden and Edenfield and I've always liked the name. I should give this walk a go.

Fabulous. I was so engrossed with the waterfall, was beginning to imagine perhaps you've found the garden of eden and the the bloke with the pint turned up and then I thought, are they in a pub garden or something? lol Pretty spectacular though and first time I've heard of it.

Nice wander by the water and a lovely looking waterfall 😊 it does sound pretty loud close to the falls

One of our lockdown walks, I remember Jeanie wanting to go back with some Cif and a cloth to clean the information sign by the waterfall of the mill ruins. Love that "Moonbeams" piece, cleverly done. Like the camera chat, when I do it it still feels really strange, befriending a box in my hand.

What a lovely place to explore..the plunge was pretty impressive, especially when it flowed upward...good to see you talking to the camera, was it a first?.

Really good to see you addressing the camera in this Shanita. Do you feel more comfortable in front of it now? I've heard of Edenfield as I know it's near Ramsbottom, but I've not visited yet. I must say the Plunge looked amazing, a real gem of a waterfall indeed. "Moonbeams" was a nice bright theme too, enjoyed that. All the best 👍

Morning both, so beautiful hearing the birds as you walked, this place is so beautiful and that waterfall is definitely a gem 🙂 ~ Anna

that looked a lovely walk shanita,nice weather too.

A beautiful circular. It seems it's very popular too. You can tell how well trod the path is by its depths in places. Thanks for sharing, Shanita.

It was good to see your take on the Reservoirs Circuit Shanita. It's a walk I like a lot, though the track by the reservoirs is a bit of a slog. Unfortunately, the twite are virtually extinct in the South Pennines now, though I did see two near the White House earlier in the year.

Excellent video .a pity about the wind noise

I must admit I’ve bever heard of a flock of twites before. Something new I’ve learned today 😊 Stoodley Pike and Blackstone Edge are more places on my to-visit list. Nice to see a few more selfies of you on this walk Shanita! 😊 Loved your chords used in “A Fantasy”, a pleasant keyboard piece. Have a great weekend 👍

Lovely walk, Stoodly Pike with it's monument, near Todmorden is a famous UFO "hotspot". There are some interesting stories, such as the PC Alan Godfrey alleged encounter with a craft, "not of this World" in late November, 1980.

7:41 - car park still there Micheal!

What a perfect day to be up on the moors, so peaceful. I had looked at the map around there when walking Gragg Vale and plotted a route around Stoodley Pike so it was good to have a look at the area. Always wanted to visit Gaddings Dam with its little beach.

It's nice to see some parts of the Pennine Way.. I think Michael was right about the wooden slats on the floor at 04:52 .. It was all boggy there years ago . People used to walk a long way around the bog but the wooden things helped for a shorter route. Nice to hear Michael's comments. You did well to film that 8 mile walk with a camcorder .. well done .

Love your filming/editing etc x x x the bird sounds are beautiful x x x love the unofficial path along the pipe 😂🤣 and the view of Colden Clough ..we go quite regularly there, planning to go tomorrow all being well, but not on the side you’re on in the video..we’ve never been there, that far up x x x great to see x x x We go past the shooting hut, by the left, and up to the rocks usually …sometimes further up to the other large overhanging rocks and back down to the other reservoir …it’s all stunning ✝️🌈🕊️😇😘🥰😍 xx x Love Julie x x x

Just came across your lovely calm channel today, watched quite a few, everything is beautiful about them, you two, your personalities, your interactions, knowledge, scenery, ability to walk so much and find so many stunning places ..loved the mention of the Hollingworth Lake comparison, and laughed at your ability to find the burnt table situation funny, because if you can’t laugh, you’d moan and moaning isn’t good for the soul/ health 🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 they certainly left their mark and a talking and filming point with that table anyway 🤣 I look forward to what you get up to next x x x P.S we too hate the shooting huts at Widdop, there’s loads further up, dug into the ground, and we found a dead frog in one that couldn’t get out 😞 so they’re not only killing grouse but frogs! To find them, you walk up by the side of the shed, the left of it as it faces the path, and they are along the route, some set back a bit x x x love Julie x x x

What is nice little village Staithes is. Some great post card style shots Shanita. Like the "humans tolerated" dogs welcome sign. Some more interesting info from the archaeologist. Nice relaxing music, it felt like a Sunday afternoon, oh it is a Sunday afternoon.

How splendid to see Staithes again. It must be twenty years since I was last there. I went with my mum and my aunt. That whole Yorkshire coast is very special. I can also recall a visit to Scaling Dam. We were looking for a rare bird as I recall. I can't remember what it was but I'm pretty sure we didn't see it! Bye for now, Chris

what lovely coastline shanita.

What a lovely place Staithes is Shanita. Went there once many years ago and it always reminded me of a larger version of Robin Hoods Bay. I must say I really enjoyed your piano theme of "Sunday Afternoon ", great jazz chords there and some vibraphone in places too? All the best 👍

Lovely....the Yorkshire coast is hard to beat

There is nothing quite like a bit of fresh sea air. Michael is of course, right again. Narrow gauge railways were used around mines. It is such a shame that people don't think and set a bbq like that, not thinking of the consequences. It looked a bit windy. My last hike was in a gale. Thanks for sharing, Shanita.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍1

Thank you both for sharing such a beautiful video of the Roseberry Topping. The band America mention Roseberry Topping in the Title Track on their Hattrick album, as Dewey Bunnell was born in Yorkshire. th-cam.com/video/M5vjL-Yky3U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mNuk88kBrZxP0eXu I have just subscribed to your channel. All the best. 🙂

Thanks soo much for this video i really enjoyed it so much you are a local inspiration Micheal 👍

nice walk shanita,stopped off at haigh hall many a time when i,ve cycled manchester to blackpool.

I'm sure I've heard of Haigh Hall before now. Always enjoy a canal walk, much more relaxing than climbing the hills 😁 Nice to have a friend and fellow walker with you on this one. Others have already commented I see, but I'm still in awe of Michael's knowledge too. "Dawn Chorus theme" was a lovely piano piece with the synth strings accompaniment, enjoyed that very much Shanita. All the best 👍

Good, leisurely walk - and you've done your homework with the extra detail and subtitles. Definitely Bistort.

Wonderful...Canals are always such peaceful places to walk....and once again i learnt something from Michaels extensive knowledge.

Hi Shanita & Michael, some nice shots of the yellow iris's and the soft furry Bistort , i will be looking out for them, theres a red one too that grows in the countryside. Always relaxing to watch and you three did very well happily completing your walk! Going to Reeth soon in Yorkshire for a walk & an overnight stay. Nice views of the surrounding hills, cant wait! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice video with lots of interesting detail. I like the snippets of info that appear at the bottom during the video. Some great bird sounds along that canal. We have walked some of that canal but cut over to Worthington Lakes. Lovely little ballad "Dawn Chorus Theme" Shanita, sounds like it could have words put to it.

It was certainly a beautiful walk, Shanita. Michael's knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I had no idea about the rollers on the bridges. Thank you for sharing.

❤Great video. 👍 I enjoyed it.

One of the benefits of TH-cam, ive lived in Oldham all my life, Chadderton, It would be nice to spend more time 'up there' but as a wheelchair user i can see a lot of it being a bit difficult to get around., Videos like this give me a chance to see parts i might not see otherwise.

How nice to see spring again, with the dandelions and daffodils and the birds singing. I do like that area and especially the old hamlet of Holme. There are a couple of nice 17th century datestones there that I think Michael would like. Hope you are both well, best wishes, Chris

I love the Holme Valley, have done a few walks around there before now. I've only been to Digley Reservoir though, none of the others you featured here. Amazing that house was built to be covered in earth. I'm with you on the stiles not being built for us with short legs, that one you were climbing certainly looked a big 'un! 😯 I think they forgot to finish building that gate where the latch came off on your hand though! 😁 I enjoyed "Day Dreaming", a every uplifting score 👍
