You should never go in a cave alone or with no one outside aware in case you get into difficulty.

Not a "cave" , ancient ruins. The PD is covered in them. Lovely video though :-)

Really enjoyed the video, really good , like the solitary rambler videos

Some years ago there was a plan to reconnect the route from Rowsley to the end of the Monsal trail, then at the last minute the landowner of the section withdrew consent :(

You should try the other side of Hall Dale. I did video of it last year. Mini padley gorge especially in autumn

Always love to 'walk with you' ~ carry a n doing what you love! X🎉

Aww so sorry for your loss, he looked like a wonderful little chap ❤

Cracking route that, never even knew about Ladygrove and the reservoirs. Best video yet bud 👍

Fascinating, so much history down there. Looking forward to our August hike mate 👍

Great walk that mate..i think Brassington is outside the Peak park...crazy as it's such a scenic area...never been to Rainster rocks, they look great, will have to check them out sometime...like you say "Parwich is stunning"..enjoyed that mate

Quite a challenge...i know many of those paths...might try this one day, although it would take me twice as long as you

This makes me exhausted just watching you :-)

Greg and I are just chatting about last weekend and what we’d do different if there’s a next time. We’ve decided that not being mid 40’s who I’d be the best bet…. In our minds, we won the seniors category 😂 Thanks for getting me out and walking again!

Absolute cracking day. Thanks Leigh & Laura. Can’t wait until the next one!

Great challenge mate, gutted I couldn't make this one. Count me on the next one 👍

go dad (yes my dad is Adam before u ask :) )

Fantastic...A real good day out

We're up there in August for a week, our first visit and really looking forward to it. I hope we get similar weather. Thanks for the pointers.

Good vid. Just found your channel. I'm up this way very soon. I'm doing more in England this year, be cool to see you do a few in Wales. Liked and subbed. Thanks for this video👍

Great video Leigh. I know many don't like Monk's Dale as it's hard going with all those rocks, but I love it especially when it opens out further down. Thanks for showing us around the area above the lime kilns too, a lot of interesting stuff there 👍

How did they know there was lead there

Hiya,I enjoyed that walk, especially passing the limestone way, as reminisced like you ,when I walked it too, the stream was running high, cheers Andy

As someone who may have De Thick ancestors I am glad you took a detour in the Manor and chapel. The family were from South Derbyshire and one of daughters married into the family who owned Codnor Castle at the time. The East Midlands had powerful families back when the Tudors were in charge.

Erewash my neck of woods. Born strelly village. And finally walked the Bennerley Viaduct other week. Managed to do vid on it. Even without was a great walk

Only just come across the vid mate. I'm back up and running in peaks all beIng we)) this weekend.

You missed a treat by passing the holly bush at make neee

T'riffic

Love this because 50 years ago I helped to clear the entrance to this mine , I was with a chap called Les from Chesterfield and a chap called Ron who I belive owned the mine , we would work then go to the Pig of Lead inn for a pint a treat for me as I was under age , happy memories.

Great video Leigh. I enjoyed this as I love the area where you walked, especially Dethick. Bit quieter than the Peak District and it's just as nice I reckon. Glad you enjoyed your walk 👍

Wish I could have joined you on this one bud, looks like a mega interesting route. Love those eerie, misty ones.

Electric motor drlving engine now maybe 🤔

Very interesting

Awesome share.

Excellent video, amazing views. New friend here.

Walked past this quite a few times, need to go and see it running.

Nice to see all those familiar places linked up on a trail. Jealous of that pint mate 🍺

Good going Leigh, 31 miles is a great day's walking. Nice to see the Erewash Valley Trail, not familiar with that route at all really. All the best 👍

Smashed it....hats off to you !!

Ehup mate. From Heanor to Notts via the Erewash Canal and Trent River is my weekly bike ride. Nice and flat. Cheers for the vid.

Impressive to do that in one walking. Do you do LDWA events? Didn't know about the Pentrich. Those trails can get jammed in places at weekends and bank holidays but usually pretty empty.

Nice to see that you have idiots with paint cans too.

Merci !😊

Very interesting, thank you.

Wow, I did not know about this! Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoyed this wonderful video with my hot ☕chocolate. debs xx ......

This was great Leigh! You got some interesting footage inside the pump house. I went inside it about 12 years ago - seem to remember the guy in the red boiler suit you were talking to 😄 Nice one, thanks for sharing 👍

Proper memorable hiking weekend, blessed with the weather. My top tip: Don't follow anyone who has been on the Blue Moons all night 😮‍💨

Great upload, fab walk and love the fact you add the maps also, super useful. Defo, a walk I will have a go at replicating, and especially having a cheeky one in the Moon pub, as my friends family had that pub probably 40 years ago/ish. Many thanks for taking the time to share this!

Great video Leigh, enjoyed your walk through Coombs Dale, lovely looking dale. Great that you found the quarry used as a location for that train stunt in Mission Impossible. Not heard of Cucklet Church before but that cave system looked amazing! Thanks for sharing Leigh 👍

Fascinating, such an interesting walk.
