Hello Duncan, Wonderfull channel, informative and well presented. I live in Weardale and wondered if you ever walked any of The Elephant Tree routes above Wolsingham and Frosterley. There are some cracking routes up there on the tops, including the St Johns Hall. Very interesting place.

canny crack you take care marra. can you do cross fell from cowgreen reservoir.

Might have to do a hike when I’m home next! No paparazzi though 🤪

It's a nice 10 mile walk from Allendale to Blanchland over the fell. And you can get a lovely Sunday lunch at the Lord Crew😋👌

Totally agree Cowgreen is my favourite too. I live not too far north from there at Allendale. Just come across your channel and really enjoy your content 👌

Great video. Have you not thought of, or done the Northumberland 250?

Im doing this exact route tomorrow.

I am just back home after riding past there this evening, its a bit blustery today.

Nice walk and good weather for it. I grew up in Horden but left in 1978 and only just moved back to Durham recently. I got to your site looking for walks around the Pennines as I now live close by near Crook and intend getting out there something I haven't done since leaving school, wandering about lost on the Pennie Penninnes as an army cadet. Thanks for your videos they are very entertaining.

Riddlehamhope Hall was a Victorian shooting lodge (the buildings you passed were the former stables and kennels) a formerly impressive mansion well enough equipped to entertain and enthrall the cream of Nineteenth Century aristocracy!

Sugoi - great stuff!

Nice sound thanks for sharing your adventure. I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.

Wonderful stuff Duncan 👍

Thanks for all of the lovely vlogs. I am a new subscriber and we are travelling up to the area at the end of this month. We are coming with a couple of dogs (that will be on lead) a couple of campervans and looking for suggestions of easy walks as one of us has a bad back and another one of us has a ankle injury. Any suggestions on where to stay and which walks to do would be much appreciated.

Duncan, your narration, music and videos are fantastic, looking forward to to watching all and start discovering your special fells. Regards and thanks Eric

It’s windy today! Storm Kathleen is blowing a hooley! Do getting to enjoy this is my only option for now, but it’s a very good option

very Nice👌

Excellent video

canny crack you take care marra.

Nice one Duncan 👍

Haven"t seen the Sun for many years ...just an hexagonal Sun Simulator every day😮

nice...i've cycled some of those tracks from wolsingham and up past the elephant trees... love it!

Hi Duncan. Did you do this over the Easter weekend? If so, I was out struggling across Snowhope and Outberry Plain on a wild camping weekend. Inspired by your videos. Bumped into another hiker as I reached the road back down to Westgate and one of the inevitable topics of conversation, your inspiring videos. All the best!

Great video as always and a very interesting fact at the end..

Excellent

its been 15 years since my brother and i did this area i was 60 then beautiful views.thanks duncan for our memories yet again may you continue right upto my age 75 and beyond like we are doing now.

Very nice video. Thank you for sharing.

if thats a public right of way, how come the farmer has ploughed over it the bastard.

New subscriber and respect for sleeping so well on't ground. Trekology mat???

I've recently stumbled across your excellent channel Duncan, and am currently binge-watching in an attempt to catch up. I was admiring your backpack as it seems to sit nice and high above your shoulders. Would you mind sharing info please? Many thanks. Atb.

Kudos to you Duncan for embracing the weather, enjoyed the journey and the scenery you have shared with us.

you done well to get a bit shut eye with a deflated mat . full replacement if its a thermarest 👍can you get to that pitch from croglin ?

another good video duncan we enjoyed it me and my brother,but sadly no sooner he gets his knee back in action for hiking again he gets a blood disorder and ends up in hospital for a few days.hes home now but not fully fit yet so we will have to wait a while before we can trek the pennines again,he's close to 72 and me 75 nothing stops us from enjoying the beauty of the pennines.thanks for the views you gave us.

Brilliant Duncan shame about your air mat but at least you got a decent kip 👍

canny crack you take care marra.

Wonderful stuff Duncan 👍

An outstanding evocation of one of England's special places. Stunning photos too.

An excellent and much needed rant at the end. I am forever battling keyboard ecologists about the importance of peat bogs. People look at the moors and they see a barren waste void of trees and they mistake that as an ecological disaster, often linked to a hatred of grouse shooting. I am no fan of the shoots but the moors are far from barren, they're teaming with life if you only take the time to pay attention and walk them. Thank you for the knowledge about the ditch, I did wonder about it when I was there myself, I recognised it as man-made but couldn't place it. I actually thought it might've been some ancient roadway. I walked it slightly different to yourself and did another summit on the far side of the road, and I noticed what appeared to be a bit of tarmac road in the middle of the moor that was very bizarre, alas, I didn't have the time to go an check it out. The spot where you asked what this road was famous for, and I am thinking, that's the exact spot I came out to the world on TH-cam before bagging those tops.

there's an unusual trig point on Bink Moss, but don't go in the wet... wait until we have another drought before you go looking for it.

Well thank you too Duncan for your massive shout out here! 😁 Sorry that I left you speechless in my shout out to you! 😂😂😂 However, I meant everything I said. I have watched and enjoyed all your videos. It was great to discover your channel during my initial research on the North Pennines, and I really got drawn into your videos when I watched. You talked here about down-playing, and I can see where you are coming from, but I know from my own experience that you must still put a huge amount of work into making your videos with the filming then all the post-production, recording the music, etc. I shall continue to enjoy your videos of the North Pennines, an area of which I'm proud to say I have now visited myself. It's certainly a beautiful part of the UK, and one day I hope to come back to see more. Thanks Duncan for what you do and keep up the good work! All the best 👍😃

Nice one Duncan 👍

Just look at what humans have done - devastated the landscape - very sad😢

Hi DUNCAN...really enjoyed joining you on the walk...some lovely views along the way...my wife and myself are hoping to visit this area soon as we are visiting the highest point in each of the historic counties of England...i was wondering if you knew of a circular walk that took in Burnhope seat, or will we just have to do a short walk up to the summit from the B6277...We know nothing of the area....thanks, Steven

Great video Duncan! I am one of your recent new subscribers following Patrick Leach's recent recommendation. Love your gentle poetic style! I'm a great fan of your walks in the Cross Fell area, having walked that section of the PW in 1984. Sadly an ankle accident sustained back in 2019 prevents me now from distance walking over rough terrain. But your's and Patrick's videos enable me to imagine myself back there, as I follow you on the OS app!

canny crack you take care marra.

I really enjoyed your film Duncan where you capture the essence of a cold and blustery day. Looking forward to the next journey you take.

Another great vid.

Utterly enjoyed this thank you, it's one of my favourite places and the views from Collier Law are some of the finest around.

I have been watching Patrick's 'Solitary Rambler' for many years, he is a brilliant presenter and he gave a glowing recommendation of your channel., I am glad he did, beautiful scenary, thankyou.
