Stoodley Pike Circular
Day 2 of my South Pennines mini break and I visit the impressive Stoodley Pike.
I ascend from Withens Clough Reservoir, then walk along the ridge line away from the monument. Drop down into the valley on the northern side. Walk through Lumbutts and Mankinholes, and then climb back up Stoodley Pike (this time from the northern side).
Stoodley Pike is an incredible monument and dominates the skyline for the majority of the walk.

March Haigh Reservoir Circular
มุมมอง 99วันที่ผ่านมา
Day 1 of my South Pennines mini break and I visit an area of moorland I’d previously admired from the top of Pule Hill. Starting at the impressive Buckstones rock formation I embark on a circuit of March Haigh reservoir. The walk gave impressive views towards Pule Hill. I found rock formations (including an intriguingly marked rock), gushing waterfalls and rugged Cloughs. As I climbed March Hil...

A walk in the space between some of the most popular spots in the Western Peak District without actually visiting any of them! In the area between Shutlingsloe, Three Shire Heads and Shining Tor I find some incredible, rarely visited gems! Disused quarries offer a fantastic landscape to explore, filled with ruins, waterfalls and hidden gorges. Then onwards to check out an impressive landscape f...

Beyond the Peak District! An adventure on Pule Hill in the South Pennines. I follow above the course of the Standedge Tunnels as they cut down deep below Pule Hill. This is a dramatic landscape of moorland, rock outcrops, quarries, ventilation shafts and ruins. It’s a fascinating area with lots of points of interest. One such being The Stanza Stone.

Hi! Just given you a sub! On recommendation from A Tramp in the Hills. What a beautiful walk this was, I'll enjoy checking out your other videos, Jenny 😊
@@bumblejennybee88 hi Jenny welcome to the channel 😃 thanks for the sub and comment. I hope you enjoy my content. Right now I’m posting videos from a mini break in the south Pennines, but I’m usually walking The Peak District and I’ll be back to posting Peak District walk videos in a couple of weeks 😃
Hi, enjoyed this video. A few paths on here I have never walked, but will! Thank you. I’m planning a camp in this area soon & will make a video for my channel when I do I think. I’ve subbed to you & I’ll def have a look at your vids. Thanks Kevin Take care ATB Dave (Dicky Bird Outdoors)
@@davebirds5667 hi Dave. Thanks for the sub, view and comment. Glad the video was of use for you. I’ve never camped at the Grinah stones but would love to. Thanks again (I’ve subbed back and look forward to watching 😃)
@@kevinstark4294 thank you Kevin 👍
Good evening Kevin, thank you for another great walk 😊 yes, the weather was kind to you on this one. We don't think your hiking poles made an appearance in this one 😂. So the question is ... what would you have done if it had of started thundering and lightning ⛈️ when you were at the monument? Nice to see the litter bugs hadn't been around up there. 🙂
@@PaulandSadie good evening to you both. I hope you’re doing well - not long now before your wild camp 😁. Well spotted re the trekking poles, I forgot to bring them with me 🤣 not an issue though as I mainly utilise them on my off piste adventures (crossing streams, checking out the solidity of the ground ahead) and of course they make excellent pointing sticks 😁😂🤣. I didn’t give much consideration to the possibility of a thunderstorm. I always check the weather forecast before any walk and the forecast for the day was good. I don’t think it would have been much of an issue though as there’s lots of options for getting down to the valley below. Thanks for watching 😃
I'm not sure I'd want to be up in that monument during a thunderstorm knowing it had priveously been struck by lightning on several occasions. No not long now we are looking forward to it, have spent far to much money as it's been two of everything 😅. Still have a few things to buy, but I'm sure it will all be worth it. 😀
@@PaulandSadie good camping gear is expensive- especially the cold weather stuff. But you know what you’ll have to do once you’ve got it all - use it multiple times to get your moneys worth! 🤣👍 hopefully you’ll love the experience and become regular wild campers 🏕️
Yeah what was the point of that brand new gate?...so many great walks around the South Pennines...enjoyed that Kevin
@@atrampinthehills.841 it’s great to explore somewhere new! Thanks for watching 😀
It s Scotland??
@@verdalex6231 hi thanks for watching. It’s Yorkshire. The Marsden / Pule Hill area
@@kevinstark4294 it s beautiful, enjoy every single moments in your life) Love it from Russia)
@@verdalex6231 thank you for your kind words. You can watch the full video on my channel if you’re interested and there’s another 2 videos from this area coming up
@@kevinstark4294 with pleasur🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
A second watch...i did leave a comment a few days ago but it seems to have vanished..nice video, great area
@@atrampinthehills.841 thanks for watching and commenting - sorry your first comment got lost. It’s an area that doesnt get walked much, but it’s great moorland
The bad weather was a shame, but on a positive note, it made for some stunning and moody views. Another very enjoyable video Kevin, thank you.
@@Glossopwildcamp thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video. It was a good walk and great to walk somewhere new
Good evening Kevin, the weather really wasn't on your side for this one! Still though you managed to capture some wonderful views. It's such a shame when you travel a long distance and the weather's not great, I hope the following days were better for you. Paul owned many a Casio watches over the years, he loved them - A good old reliable watch! As we are loyal subscribers you must film your lunch in an upcoming video! Thankyou for taking us along on your adventures. 🙂
@@PaulandSadie good evening to you both. Thanks for watching as you always do! ❤️ the weather for the next 2 days was actually sunny 🌞 if Paul wants a new Casio watch he now knows where he can get one 😂. So on yesterday’s walk I stopped for lunch and remembered your various requests to see what I eat. I’ve included a brief shot in the video just for my most loyal supporters 😀 unfortunately you’ll have to wait 3 weeks for the video though 😂
🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to that! Keep the lunch shots coming. 😋
Nice walk that one. I did try to reply to your last vid with a few suggestions for places to walk for Halloween but for some reason it didn't show in the comments
@@Isithaunted666 thanks for watching. Oh that’s strange. Are you able to give the suggestions on another video? I’ll see any comment that comes through.
@@kevinstark4294 i though St Peters stone/gibbet rock or Black Harry Lane might be a good suggestion as these are said to be haunted areas. Actually I can account for Black Harry Lane, I got some good activity there
Good evening Kevin, another interesting video with some great finds and the weather looked amazing, just what you need with spectacular views like those. Thought we were getting a lunch haul in this one, but it was just your back pack and trekking poles 😂. Hope you had a nice few days in Yorkshire, did you do any filming? We pitched our tent in the garden this afternoon, we've named her Darcy. After she was up and down a few times we got the perfect pitch. A few modifications needed to Kinder proof her and we will be well away - extra longer pegs and guy lines needed. Plenty of space it's going to be awesome 😊 .
@@PaulandSadie good evening to you both. Thanks for watching- I look forward to your comment on each video 😀 glad you’ve got the hang of pitching Darcy (great name). Linder can be tricky to pitch on as the ground is either very infirm or else hard rock 😂 I had a great time in Yorkshire- 3 walks in 3 days. The first video is coming next Sunday ( that’s the one with the bad weather) I had mostly sunshine for the other 2 days. Not that long to go now before your kinder trip!
Great Stuff!
@@TrailStrider909 thanks for watching 😀
@@kevinstark4294 Sure thing!!
Where is this ?? I’m guessing the United Kingdom somewhere
@@nathancloke8970 hello. Thanks for the comment and view. These are old quarries not far away from Buxton (UK). If you watch the full video you’ll get more info
Thanks for another fascinating walk & explore, Kevin. Did you take a closer look at those little cave/shaft entrances around the quarry? I love checking out places like that, I always take a torch with me just in case.
@@Glossopwildcamp thanks for your view and comment. I always take a head torch just in case I find a cave. I only checked out a few. They weren’t deep and torch wasn’t needed. The area is worth a thorough explore, this was just a quick recce.
That quarry was a very interesting place
@@Isithaunted666 thanks for watching (and glad to see you still subscribed 😃). Yes it’s very impressive and atmospheric. I’m thinking of doing a Halloween themed walk / video next month. I’ve a few ideas but do you have any suggestions or requests? This is more your area than mine 👻
@@kevinstark4294 I've got a good few places, I'll check my pins. But off the top of my head I think St Peters stone/gibbet rock at Wardlow Mires might be a good place. Or Black Harry Lane maybe. I actually did a paranormal investigation there and got a lot of activity
@@kevinstark4294 I did reply the other day but it's not shown for some reason. But yeah love your walks. I'll check my pins properly for a Halloween walk but off the top of my head St Peters Stone)Gibbet Rock might be a good place or Black Harry Lane, haunted by a highwayman
@@kevinstark4294I did reply the other day but it's not shown. But yeah love your walks. As for Halloween I'll check my pins properly, but off the top of my head I think St Peters Stone/Gibbet Rock or Black Harry Lane which is supposed to be haunted by a highwayman might be a good idea
Good afternoon kevin, another great adventure out glad you enjoyed this walk. That quarry looked awesome to sit and have your lunch shame about the midges and sheep bones, I suppose they were lame and took shelter there then were never found. Your right about the waterfalls - you have come across some stunning ones that are not marked and the one at the start of your walk near the quarries was beautiful. I would have had to of checked that building out... then I suppose your right someone might be sleeping there and in true Sadie style I'd have walked into something I wish I hadn't 😂. Would really like to see you both team up and do a wild camp there (I read the comments). You asked where we plan to camp, I hadn't forgotten. We are planning on going up Kinder, but not sure yet where we will pitch, we have some ideas. Do you have any recommendations? 😊 .
Hello Sadie and Paul 😀 I look forward to reading your comments each week 😁. I really enjoyed the walk - I can’t believe that I’ve not been to those quarries before. I had them to myself and I suppose most people just pass them by on their way to the popular spots. You’re probably right about the sheep. I was just joking about it being the lair of a big cat or Bigfoot 🤣 but it does give that impression. My reaction to seeing the sheep skeleton in the cave was genuine. I’d not looked inside until that moment and for a split second I wondered exactly what I’d found 😅. That house is definitely abandoned which is a real pity. It’s all boarded up and you can’t get inside. We will see about the wild camp - I don’t have cold weather camping gear. For your camp on kinder scout I would definitely recommend the northern side because it’s quieter. Maybe seal rocks or fairbrook naze? I can’t wait for you to tell me all about it. Take care x
Great idea to walk between all those Honey pot sites..i have always fancied a camp in the Reeve edge quarry area..
@@atrampinthehills.841 it would make a fantastic camping spot! I might join you on that one 👍
@@kevinstark4294 That would be great
Really enjoyable video, and particularly interesting for me as this is my local stomping ground. I have walked the paths you walked here many times, but I have never come off the path to look at the cloughs and waterfalls. I shall take a look at those next time, I have a drone so may be able to get some footage, I will let you know if I do. Subbed!
@@Glossopwildcamp hi thanks for watching- I’ve subbed back 😀 glad you enjoyed the content- check out the Chunal moor and Hollingsworth Clough videos as well if you haven’t already watched them. It’s an amazing area 👍
Good evening Kevin, we enjoyed your last video! Our tent is on its way, all the way from Canada. We decided on a Durston. Now got to look at sleeping pads and sleeping bags. Alot of decisions to make 🤔 it's everything x2 all except the tent. 😂😂😂
Sounds great!
Good evening Kevin, hope your well? Great video as usual! Can't believe how much the water has gone down at the reservoirs. We had a wonderful time up there - some real highs and lows, we got to meet in person someone who has become very special to us 😊 and the low was we sent our drone off from the lonely trig point up on Kinder, waved it off unbeknown we would never see it again 😂 wasn't funny at the time! So we were unable to do things with it that we had intended to. So now our thoughts are on getting our tent ordered ready for October's wild camp 🏕 really looking forward to this. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. 🙂
@@PaulandSadie good evening Paul and Sadie. It sounds like you had a mixed time on your recent visit. I’m really sorry to hear about your drone! 😭 but glad you met your special friend. What tent are you looking at for your wild camp? Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. I don’t think it was the best walk ever - but I think the next 2 videos are pretty good - some great new locations for me and some fun exploring 😀
Good evening Kevin, we enjoyed your last video! Our tent has been dispatched and is on its way, all the way from Canada. We decided on the Durston x-mid 2 solid. Now we've got to decide on sleeping pads and sleeping bags, there's alot to think about and it's all x 2 except the tent ⛺️ 😂😂😂.
@@PaulandSadie hi guys. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 👍 you’ve definitely got a great tent on its way to you! I’m not an expert on camping gear (mine is old and or budget 🤣) but I’m guessing you’ll need insulated mats and down bags. Have you decided on a camping spot yet?
Good evening Kevin, hope you're well. This was an interesting watch and it looks like there's alot to explore in the area. We watched last Sunday and its taken all week to add our comment 🙈. Everytime you say about having your lunch I always wonder what you take out with you 🤣. You will have to show us in one of your videos. Looking forward to tomorrow nights video. 🙂
@@PaulandSadie hi to both of you. Hope you had an amazing time in the Peak District. My lunch is nothing special- just a meal deal usually with a cheeky doughnut 😂
❤❤❤❤
It's a wonderful hill, always windy though. Always had to hold onto our hats on our visits
Hey mate, how you diddling? I loved Pule Hill. But yes very windy. Thanks for watching

Hi Kevin...Is there access to Lordship hill from the doctors gate path?
@@atrampinthehills.841 hey mate. You could probably get up hey Clough without too much bother
Good morning Kevin, well the weather stayed fine for you! That waterfall was certainly worth a look and what a lovely little spot at the bottom. There was alot to see on this walk and enjoyed watching, we've not explored this area ourselves. It was strange hearing other people in the background 😂. Now getting ready to leave and head up for a few days, I would say I'm looking forward to your next video but, then our holiday will be over! 🤣🤣🤣
@@PaulandSadie hi to you both. Have a safe journey up. I hope you get some great walks in and enjoy your time in the Peak District 😁
Such a cool tour! Thank you for the upload!
@@TrailStrider909 thanks for watching mate. Glad you liked it 👍😁
I love the views . Just wouldn't want to do the walk myself
@@tintinbyherge no walk no views! And it looks so much better with the naked eye than on video. Thanks for watching
Another great video Kevin...i always get some great ideas for walks after watching your video's..pule hill is a big fave of mine...being outside the peak park means it is so much quieter.
@@atrampinthehills.841 thanks for the view and comment. It was a good walk and gave me the urge to walk Pule Hill…
@@kevinstark4294 It gets windy up there.
@@atrampinthehills.841 it certainly does! 😂
Good evening Kevin, that's another amazing find at least it wasn't raining when you arrived at the waterfall so you could spend some quality time there. I did wonder if those fairies might run off with your backpack and poles when you left them to reach the top of the fall then remembered those naughty fairies are on Bleaklow 🤣. Paul has promised me our first wild camp during the October half term - the kiddies will go to their grandparents. We have been busy looking at tents, but its all very exciting! Thankyou for going the extra mile, take care out there, see you next week. 🙂
@@PaulandSadie hello my friends 😀 thanks for your comment. I bet you can’t wait for the wild camp! Where will you go? I should really do another one but I find them so exhausting if I’m honest. Luckily the fairies at this waterfall were better behaved than their bleaklow cousins - and they ensured that the sun shone the entire time I was at that enchanted spot. When is it you next visit the Peak District?
Good afternoon Kevin, 😅 what a hot week I think it's slightly hotter in Suffolk than up there. We are heading back up this coming Monday and leave on the following Friday so, hopefully it will be dry but, not as hot as this. As for the wild camp I think it would only feel right to do it up on Kinder, not the woolpacks though! I would love to walk the perimeter and maybe camp up there two nights. Only ever camped once and that was when I was 13 and at school, I wouldn't wild camp where we live, but there is something about the Peak District. Paul thinks he will be in his element on a wild camp 🏕 and I know he will look after me! 🙂.
@@PaulandSadie hi to you both. I hope you have an amazing time in the PD next week, and fingers crossed the weather stays dry! Your plans for kinder scout sound great - there are plenty plenty of spots to pitch your tent - the northern side is quietest 😁
Nice one Kevin..you do visit some great locations..i have visited the Knott before, i remember it being a great little top.
@@atrampinthehills.841 thanks for watching 😀 yes The Knott is a lovely spot with great views. Although I wasn’t able to see the waterfall from up there.
Wow This looks great!!

Wonderful views especially of Kinder Scout, it was lovely to watch knowing a few days after you filmed this we walked up Ashop Head onto Kinder. What a beautiful clear day for you maybe abit warm for hiking 😂. We were watching and saying you need a drone and then you went and said it 😂 you should really consider getting one, we have had ours since May and have got the hang of using it quite quickly. We got some great footage up there recently with it. We may visit this area when we return in a couple of weeks, would love to get close to that waterfall 😊. Thankyou for another video of such a wonderful place very close to our hearts.
@@PaulandSadie hi Paul and Sadie. Hope you’re both well. Glad you enjoyed the video, it’s either raining when I’m out or baking hot 😂 I’d love a drone but it’s a bit expensive for me and if I was to invest in camera equipment I’d probably get an action camera instead of using my phone. I bet you love using your drone though - you must have got some amazing shots on kinder scout!
Thanks for that Kevin..you certainly hit some off the beaten track areas..shame about the cabin
@@atrampinthehills.841 thanks mate. The cabin that I now believe was the one that was vandalised has been completely rebuilt. But yeah. Mindless vandalism of cabins is the reason why landowners destroyed so many of them in the 50s / 60s. Imagine how great it would be to walk in the Peaks if all the cabins were still intact and could be used as shelters.
@@kevinstark4294 Yeah that would be great...i know of several in the Dales that we have sheltered in when the weather turns
