What a wonderful treat! Architecture, cows eating daffodils, stone walls, rolling pastures--right out of a painting. Thank you!
Lovely countryside. Thank you Phil and well done. I’m out of breath just watching and I definitely could not have done that walk.
It took me two days to recover!
What a beautiful scenic walk. I sure wouldn't have been able to walk those steep hills.
That's the way to enjoy a country walk! Sat at home in my armchair!! Thanks for putting the effort in. I don't think I'd have made it as far as those 2 vans parked on the pavement :-)
Its not so much about how out of breath you get walking up the hill, its more about how quick you recover once you reach the top ;) Great views, lovely walk
Enjoyed the stroll with you... I must be in really good shape because I wasn't tired at all when I got to the top :-) beautiful views so thanks for the great video
Excellent interesting walk -especially as we didn’t have to do the hills.
It took me two days to recover!
Superb, what a walk, you Phil and that camera are "Stars", thank you....
Wonderful. I enjoyed all of the beautiful scenery. I loved the stone walls, the Waterfall. All of it really. Although, I did have to pause the video a few time, just to catch my breath. That was like climbing a mountain. Thank you for sharing it. I look forward to the next one. Stay safe.
Beautiful scenery - great video
Goodness I’m SO glad you did that walk on our behalf! It looked horrendous to me and I was amazed at how brisk your footsteps were as you made your way home. Well done.
Going home was the easy bit. It was mostly downhill.
Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing.
Well, that was interesting!
I saw the White Nancy lookout mentioned in a previous video and wondered what was up there.
Thanks!
Excellent, I was worn out just looking at the hills.
This was such an enjoyable walk, thank you so much for taking us with you.
You're a hero Phil, I would have been a coroner's job by the top of Water Street.
Thank you Phil that was very enjoyable . Well worth the effort . Always interesting mate.
Thank you for taking us along.
Thank you for going through that for us Phil :) looks almost like Cornwall at times :)
Loved today’s walk... even the censored Minecraft People looked interesting🤣
Stay safe💜😷
35 mins not wasted. very enjoyable.
What a fantastic area, thank you Phil for all your effort in sharing the walk. Tale care
I was very pleased to hear you say hello to the nice lady with two dogs.Next time pause and attempt a conversation. A lovely walk, only because you carried me all the way. Excellent views and interesting sights. Not a mask in sight, a lot of mud, a water fall, a semi undergound missile bunker, amazing stone walls, lots of steps and lovely gorse flowers. (NZ farmers wouldn't agree with your gorse comment. They have struggling for over100 years trying to get rid of it since early settlers introduced it.) It grows very well over here. Another excellent vlog thank you Phil, your walks are great value. Do take care.
People are shy when they meet someone pointing a camera and microphone out in front of them.
Wow Phil. Rather you than me. That was an incredible walk. I’m afraid i could never have done than. Glad you done it for me anyway. Thank you so much. It was beautiful watching and listening to nature.
Hi Phil that was a lovely walk, Glad you did it and not me. On the confrontation with Dogs this week a Seal was attacked at Barnes on the Thames by a dog off lead and had to be put down.Don't these THINK. Cheers.
That was a lovely vlog, it's beautiful scenery there. But Goss, we needed a lie down after listening to you struggling up those hills! 😂😂
Hi Phil I hope you are well? Enjoyable video again thank you, that waterfall would drive me mad as well.
What a fantastic walk. Many video makers would do well to learn from your editing technique. So beautiful there. That waterfall was superb. I don’t think I would tire of listening to it. Great views across the valley, but what a climb! Not sure about White Nancy. Apart from the challenge of actually getting there, I couldn’t see much to it. Very strange structure, but I wouldn’t call it pretty. The passersby didn’t give you much room on what was sometimes a narrow path . Thanks so much. It was like being with you.
White Nancy isn't very interesting but the views up there are superb. If only the sun was shining but I'm not going up there again!
@@NarrowboatJourneys I don’t blame you.
Bollington seems like such a charming town, fun to see more around that area. Some of those "paths" were crazy steep,
Thanks for the walk and views! 🐑🐑
Everything's just so hilly around here! 😉
Nice walk Phil, im knackered now.
Nice walk. Thanks. We just got another 8 inches of snow. Winter isn’t wanting to give up.
Another interesting and entertaining video. I have done some research. That derelict industrial building is the Ingersley Vale mill, also known as Clough mill. It is going to be demolished to make room for a new housing complex.
We thoroughly enjoy all your videos, and this was especially wonderful. You are showing us Americans your green and pleasant land. We thoroughly you enjoy everything you show. You are a talented videographer and historian...were you a teacher? As I said before I have a weaving by Fran of Floating our Boat of White Nancy. Thank you for this tour!
Thank you Sue.
Nice video, thank you. My daughter lives in Macclesfield and we have run together up to White Nancy several times. The last time I went on my own, navigated all those steps down safely and then tripped over the rock just before you get on the road! Luckily not badly hurt, but I really did feel the worried bystanders were wondering why a geriatic was even out running. All the best.
You RAN up there! 😀
Thank you for that dose of country air. I can't believe how unfriendly the folk are on these walks, it's as if you're invisible. A smile and nod of acknowledgement cost nothing. Maybe it's just me and the reason I get strange looks when I'm out and about as I even say hello to people's dogs lol. Thanks for the CD Phil very relaxing. It's not been out of the player since it arrived. Have been recommending it to family and friends.
You have to remember that I'm walking and holding a camera and microphone out in front of me. It makes some people shy. Glad you like my music! 😀
@@NarrowboatJourneys Actually that's something that I didn't take into account lol. 👍
Take note there is no parking near the waterfall, its a 30 minute walk up a rough track. We have seen people get their cars stuck on the track and had to be towed away as there is no way to turn around.
Well, a very successful adaptation to circumstance. For some time now you’ve done a brilliant job of showcasing rural Britain via the canal system. Now this is temporarily curtailed you are doing it via cycle and walking. Superb. Interesting your comments about flowering gorse. Here in New Zealand it’s very much a noxious pest and there are significant schemes to eradicate as much as possible. It was introduced into N Z by early settlers to create hedgerows reminiscent of the old country. However, once introduced it went crazy wild and literally covered thousands of acres and became quickly out of control. Gorse is very much a dirty word here in N Z.
Thank you. We are supposed to be able to cruise again next week.... But this canal is now closed due to a culvert failure. So I might not be going anywhere for a while!
Made me chuckle when you said im pretty sure I couldn't cycle up here, not without dying anyway😁 I was thinking something similar. Very different from flat canal journeys that's for sure, thanks for that.
Good morning Phil, I enjoyed your Huffing and Puffing!🤣 I bet you slept good that night! I hope you weren't too sore the next day! 🙂 Thanks for the video.Take care my friend.
Not sore at all, just very tired for two days!
I wish dog owners would just keep their dogs on a leash and under control. If they did they'd have no problems, no disputes and no complaints. They and their dogs are not 'entitled.' There I've said it.
One of the dogs was on a lead, and muzzled. I reckon the other dog had a go at it?
Hello I am here sending my support, enjoy the moement:-).
good vid on the ut keep posting vids up
I happen to be moving to Bollington very soon, I'm looking forward to re-tracing your steps!
Take oxygen and Sherpas! ;-)
I tend to find going down harder on my knees than going up that’s for sure
My knees are bad. Probably to do with a lifetime of cycling.
I find it fascinating that UK landowners allow folks to walk across their property. In the USA, landowners would call the police if they caught someone on their property. I wondered if there is some incentive offered by UK authorities for landowners to allow public onto their land.
The public footpaths in this country are ancient rites of way.
If farmers try to stop the public or close or block paths their fields generally get invaded by an angry public, even little used paths are jealously guarded by walkers, it's a right we don't give up on. In Scotland you have the right to roam anywhere, though not to damage crops or disturb livestock. Edit here, the incentive for farmers is therefore not to have protesters howling at them 😋 It's a little country we need somewhere to get some fresh air, right!
@@NarrowboatJourneys I think that is wonderful.
Oh look what I found thanks to Pardon! What a climb Phil! I c enjoy your walks ..I like seeing it all..all the mud and the b rambles.. Why is the monument called Nancy? I loved the small river. Back home in Idaho it might be called a stream or creek..anyway bravo for taking us on this brilliant hike...Hope you treated yourself to a nice ale afterword.or what ever you choose..😊!!
Thanks 👍 I don't think anyone knows why it is called Nancy?
@@NarrowboatJourneys well I had to Google it?
And its said Nancy wS the name of the mule that hauled the materials needed to build the monument....via Wikipedia..😊
@@NarrowboatJourneys also im in no hurry about the CD...take all the time you need...please..thnx..😊
Great video, have you tried the White Nancy cheese named after the hill, its a yummy goats cheese.
No, I didn't see a single goat up there.
You manage to hold the camera very steady, do you use a Gimbel?
No, just the cameras built in stabilising (very good). A gimbal as well would be very steady I expect?
Thanks. Another good walk to chalk up next time I'm passing... But does nobody ever say good day or hello?
Some do, some don't.
I went to see White Nancy and rather foolishly when I got to that field with the cow eating daffodils I thought I'd go for the direct route to the top. It was a killer. Frequent stops for oxygen and shedding of layers of clothing. Not recommended. At least I didn't pass anyone else en-route.
Hi Phil, thanks so much for another most enjoyable outing! One question - would you happen to know the ourpose of those circular railings at the gates?
I'm not sure what you mean?
@@NarrowboatJourneys all the field gates you went through had a curved railing extension you back into as you open the door...
It's known as a kissing gate. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_gate
@@NarrowboatJourneys ... that is brillant...!!! Thanks!
Hi Phil , when you came down from the White Nancy back into Bollington you passed what was once a nice pub " The Redway Tavern".
Near the waterfall there looked to be a boundary stone/grave/ or marker. Any history relating to this please ?
I think that stone near the waterfall was fairly recent commemorating the year 2000.
Two walking videos in a row. "I'm tired. Hope I sleep well tonight". lol Great video. Just curious: Don't people greet each other? I heard no "good morning, good afternoon, how's the hike, doin ok?" That kind of stuff. Was it because you had a camera? I was just surprised that nobody greeted you except the one steep climb and the one sheep/shot. Here in the U.S. we have plenty of paved bike trails, but no walking/scenic trails such as you have. Your so lucky. Notice lots of people walking there in the UK, especially along the canals. Take care.
The camera makes people shy away.
Probably the argument was because some selfish moron refused to put his dog on a lead.....
All the gates squeak, funny, is that to let the farmer someone is on his property?
Could be? They do all squeak.
@@NarrowboatJourneysHey man ,where are the kittys?
