WHAT is this place FAMOUS FOR? A look at BUXTON, Derbyshire in the HIGH PEAK and A537 cat & fiddle
In this episode we take a look at the spa town of Buxton.
Buxton is the highest market town in England and is famous for its water. The Nestle Waters plant produces 2 million bottles of water in a single day. It produces water both from a spring and also a mineral water that is oumoed from the centre of the town.
With the geography of Buxton comes a lot of adverse weather. Sometimes access to the town in blocked off by snow. It also has a famous opera house.
I hope you enjoy the video. If you do please give it a thumbs up as it helps the video get pushed out further. Also please consider subscribing to the channel.

A very IMPRESSIVE Christmas TRUCK convoy at Tarleton and Hesketh Bank with Harrisons Transport

A very special convoy of vehicles takes place each year to raise money for charity. It happens every year and involves farmers, hauliers and other local businesses. A lot of effort goes into the convoy and lighting up the vehicles for the 6 mile convoy. Some of the companies involved include Harrisons Transport, Lovania Nurseries Ltd, Ascroft Transport, Bryans Salads, Tarleton Flooring, MJ Grif...

Why are there so many MINOR ACCIDENTS on this ROUNDABOUT? NEWBURY BYPASS proves we need NEW ROADS!

The Chieveley Interchange connects the A34 with the M4 Motorway. But why are there collisions? There are many different opinions whether that be narrow lanes, badly painted lines or bad driving, so we try and find out the exact cause of the reason there are so many minor bumps! Whilst we are in the same area we look at the Newbury Bypass. It was opened in 1998 after 2 years of protests by anti-...

After a very successful video about Sutton Bank, I was not planning on doing a sequel... I found myself travelling up and down Sutton Bank a few times in the car as I ran a personal errand. A friend who is also a viewer of this channel had asked me to film some of the picturesque town on Helmsley just 7 miles east of the Bank. I was so glad I had my camera as I was able to capture some exciting...

We take a look at what has happened to this short motorway and why, and also have a look at dispelling some of the myths surrounding why the authorities have installed a new temporary motorway number on the old section of the M181. We also look at what those blue marker boards you may have noticed every hal...

Spend all week going up and down that road to Tunsted quarry.
Bet it's been fun this week!!!!
Welcome to my local! Cat and Fiddle road must feature in dozens of my videos, even took my advanced test over there. The biggest upset shown on this video was at 0:15 - 0:20 when the council dumped loads of ditch digging waste material taking away one of the best layby's to have a break on, fantastic views and you'd get 3 or 4 wagons on there, now only that little bit remains and is regularly taken up by a car or cars parking right in the middle of it and going for a walk all day. We last delivered to Buxton water plant when they had the extension done. I could not believe how many lorries were loading there, especially when you think all they seemed to have was one 7.5 tonne lorry doing the deliveries in the early days! They must have turned the tap on a bit more! 😉👍The pipe line from the source in Buxton to the plant caused grief and traffic jams for best part of a year as it followed the road. Where you paused on the roundabout you were looking over a recent railway goods type area to ease the train traffic taking limestone up to Manchester and beyond. About 8 or 9 trains a day go from Breedon and Tarmac alone from the two quarries on the south side adjacent to the A515 apart from several from Tarmac a bit further on from the water plant. Yes we have snow, have had for a few days, snowing most of today and still doing tonight, not ventured out since last week. Good informative and entertaining video again and enjoyed seeing some local roads. All the best.
very good the derbyshire dales ❤
Looks like your photo is same nite as me seeing, was super cool
It was amazing with the naked eye!
@thetruckerseye definitely was mate
There was a cold war government egg store in Sutton in ashfield, it fell out of use in the late 70s, eventually the vandals got in apparently there where tens of thousands of flat pack cardboard coffins, ready if thh balloon 🎈 went up😊
Either this guy doesn't know how to drive, has his missus sitting next to him telling him what to do or he's still pissed from the New Years celebrations. I guess the latter is the case.
Howdy, Trucker, Happy New Year. Did you get Duane Eddy to do the twangy guitar piece at the end? 😂 You must've taken minutes to find those old clips, the only thing is I can remember them first time around. 😂 We tend to get a lot of weather up here in Sunderland too m8. Seriously though, another class informative video, thanks 👍
Defo doing a video up in your neck of the woods... i can't let you down now can I? 🤣🤣🤣
BTW... I was playing the guitar 😂😂😂😂
@@thetruckerseye True 😆👍
@@thetruckerseye if you were playing the guitar you'll believe I've walked on the moon oh and giant steps are what you take! 🤣🤣
Brilliant 👍…..one of your best yet !……Looks as though „Nigel“ had just left the Cat and Fiddle….cheers !
Many thanks mate, and yes.... Nigel 😂
A fair few crossing of the double whites and dangerous driving. I'd report him with the footage.
I'd understand it if he was flying along but he was doing quite the opposite. I have a 13.6 metre trailer on and stayed in the lane and kept uo with him too 😂😂
Excellently informative - thank you. Only last week I was coming down the A1 and am used to looking across the beautiful valley that is the walled gardens at Easton Hall and was completely distracted by "WTF is that huge and ugly eyesore on the horizon seemingly in the middle of the countryside ?"
Fantastic video my mate, I live literally 5 mins away from there. It's not the best of depots to drive around as I delivered a genie lift there a couple of months ago. And as for the new cafe I have not been in there yet but I'm sure I will at some point. I used to work for the man who owns it and had my belly full in the old one a fair few times though. Keep up the great work bud 👍🏻
That car's waiting for the Alians! Won't have to wait long in Coventry 🤔🤦😂
Very interesting, no doubt, I know the A1 and it’s good to hear about what’s just off to the sides. But…at 7.56 you stick in a sort of emoji. Lots of channellers, nowadays, think they are enhancing their vids by doing this. They are not. It’s a fad, an unnecessary, unoriginal way to underline a point, be funny. Perhaps you could consider this in future?
Dam your voice is different now.😆👍
It looks like the new cold store alongside the Mcains fries 🍟 factory 😊
Thanks for the belly laugh Trucker, I didn't expect such quality m8. Brilliant 👍🤣🤣
Don't encourage him mate! He's been saying that he will be making his own youtube singing channel 🤣🤣🤣 all the best mate .
I want to hear more from T-Map 👍😂
Fkin el don't encourage him. He's already asking where he can book a studio 🤣🤣🤣
Haaaaaaa
This is what I have to put up with lol
Personally that worries me. Big cold store storing food froxen.. They must know whats coming or they are taking control of who eats and what. Also ppeople dont realize how A1 will beputting people out of jobs. The bigger picture with A1 is so great. We already have machines replaving peoples jpbs in supermarkets, self driving cars will not onlyreplace taci driving jobs but we will be controlled on our far we travel once theyvefinished the 15 minute cities. Its all to make you believe less travel time for us whereas its really a underhand way of controlling your free right to travel. Same with digital money... If you control the money, you control the food supply and whatever else they plan to control, then you control the world and its population. I live in grantham so might nip put there and see how big it looks in the flesh. These elites are already buying up land and getting rid of farms so they can grow more gmo crap and this fake meat etc.. People should be worried rather than in awe of all this A1 tech.. Itll be to our demise. Orwells book 1984 springs to mind.
I didn’t have bad mad Friday until I was the M62 and because of 3 all rear shunting each other I had to take another 45 minute break to get back home.
Years ago, and I mean at least 45 ago I drove an army 3 tonne Bedford up, Jeez. Crawled up in first gear took for ever
Bill gates lab meat on the way
so basically that big box which I thought when i saw it, was a big Amazon warehouse, is in fact nothing more than a huge freezer
When you put it like that.... 🤣🤣🤣
Instead of putting anti slip tarmac on, making turnaround better, cutting tree's down to help see and dry the road better, they shut it to hgvs and caravans. Have you tried the caravan route to avoid it, you should do a video on that. If you coming from South go to Malton - Helmsley. From north come down stokesley. West good luck
We used to have to use the Menai bridge. You had to pull your mirrors in to get through the arches.
Brilliant 👏 😊
Its Area 53, housing space craft and UFOs
The last one, he's the most likely to cause an accident due to lack of concentration.
I had this experience back in the 1990s in a lightly loaded artic, it just wouldn't make it up. A kindly police dog handler in his car saw my attempts, and watched me to reverse back to where there was room to do a U turn.
Let’s hope there’s not a power cut or breakdown in the mechanics or it will be a lot of mouldy food.
All of these types of food storage have back up systems.
Trucker, I never knew this was a thing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the convoy. Thank you and all the best to you and yours 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas mate
I and many others have delivered many cubes of Ready Mix to this site over the last two years!!
A LOT i bet!
There aren't two half past two's in a day, especially not for an hgv driver
My planner thinks there's a 3am tomorrow. He's very deluded 🤣
Merry Christmas to you and all. Keep on trucking in the new year.
Thanks, you too mate!
Had one of our tired out R450's last couple of days 615K on the clock, still pulls well!
They all do the job mate! Some of the older 450s pull better than S500s with the amount of engine restrictions they are bringing in
Those harrison scannies are utter beauties! Merry Christmas!
They are lovely mate. They have some basic 4x2 Volvos that do their lighter work and still look more decent than the many other fleets. Their DAF's also look well. I've seen their rigid DAF too, when you know what fleet it is a part of it makes it quite cute haha
Make sure your settings in youtube are set to 2160p (4K) video for the best picture. All of my videos are produced in 4K!
It's amazing, they spend £millions on speed and seatbelt cameras to catch you so they hit you with a fine but cant install infra red cameras at traffic lights to detect vehicle's approaching red lights for them to change if nothing is coming through the other lights, or a cheaper modification is to have lights flash amber after and before rush hr traffic, I know from 20 + years driving abroad that this works well and keeps traffic flowing. Another UK fail. Happy Christmas to all ex and still driving HGVers.. (Amazing grammar that..), 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Roundabouts with traffic lights always flow better when the lights aren't working, even at peak times.
Until the 1970's the Batchelors Foods factory used to stand where the light industrial factories now stand, with a five-storey office building on the other side of the road. My mother used to work there in the 1950's, where her job was to watch all the peas go past on a conveyor belt and pick out (by hand) all the black-eyed peas. As a kid, I used to climb up onto the low bridge below the site to watch the steam trains to Manchester go thundering past.
Often gone past and didn’t realise what was in there, thanks x
I had forgotten all about her actually haha
I've often thought that as well about that section on the M1 just after J11!
It's not the only one either. I have a video coming in January aboout a very similar section but in another part of the country. It's nuts!
