- Bob Langley took a long wander along Britain's longest public footpath over the Pennines and got to thinking about the various methods that had been used to cross "nature's iron curtain" between Lancashire and Yorkshire over the years.
At the time of recording, the latest means of traversing the mountain chain was the recently opened M62, but before it there was the means of the railway, the canal through the Standedge Tunnel, a trusty steed and a mysterious mountain 'road' that has been puzzling historians for hundreds of years.
Clip taken from The Pennine Way, originally broadcast on BBC One, Sunday 6 August, 1972.

Lovely film. A nice gentle pace, just enough words and a great presenter. It left me thinking that I want to find out more.
You mean to say that you don't enjoy historical reenactments, celebrity presenters, intrusive music and stupid whooshy computer graphics? Yeah me neither.
Nicely put.
Interesting to hear the presenter articulate the view at the time that the roads are the be all and end all of transport methods. And now we are planning to build more railways!
A great film. 👏👏
What a wonderful piece from the archives, just how I remember them from my youth 👍
Great video!
I want to see Fred Dibnah Traction Engine park on that Motorway Bridge.
Dibnah. 😇
If you think that was a feat, check out building highway 1 connecting BC and alberta, its still 1 lane either way
The Canadian transport dept has said they can blow the budget for the entire 4600mile stretch on the one section near Golden BC
Ah. A Wallace Arnold coach ....
It’s so sad to see that poor horse loaded and working so hard 😢
There’s more than a little of Alan Partridge in his delivery.
Also John Cleese if you close your eyes.
That sounded like David Mitchell on horseback
Back when drivers didn't just cut in front of you for no reason xD
Nostalgia was better then as well.
Back when the BBC made watchable programmes. Unlike the modern BBC.
Oh the M62 as it used to be with no traffic. Now its just the highest and longest car park in Britain. WELCOME TO YORKSHIRE.
Models his talk on John Cleese
*I read about a man in his 50s who started investing in stocks and real estate and then retired in 2 years with over $6 million and that is my main goal and I would really appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to achieve this goal. in 5 years. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. It is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies BTC, ETH, SOL...*
I got 80% of my total portfolio in Crypto and it has been a great return
Great yes decision to crypto. All your base are now belong to us.
How about you stop looking for a cheap assed quick buck and being lazy - try working hard and study
