Oh wow stunning views! You bring natures beauty into our lives. I particularly liked the filming of the win berry bushes even though they wasn't laden with berries at that time. Always reminds me of childhood when mum baked win berry pies, have you tried win berry pies Patrick? Been binge watching your videos of when you were that young handsome chap in the black leather hat and jacket! No flattering but you still are handsome! Thanks patrick for all your hard work!
Thank you so much Anna for all your lovely comments! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the walk in this film, it was nice to capture those wimberries along the route. I've never tried them myself, but I've seen others pick them and eat them when out walking. Many thanks again Anna and for taking the time to watch 👍
What a lovely video of a lovely walk! Some of those views - goodness! Loved the evocative music as always, it really adds to the enjoyment of the walk. Thanks for sharing.
I've never been to Bleaklow Head from Torside Patrick. It looks like a really beautiful hike and more forgiving than some other ways I've been up. The flattest is the Pennine Way from Snake Pass, but this one is definitely one I want to try. I enjoy people coming to the Peak District, but I'm glad most stick the beaten tracks and tourist bits. I like seeing fellow hikers if you know what I mean, but I've seen people hiking to Bleaklow Head in some really inappropriate gear. You just think, I'm glad it is a nice day. They really don't know how dangerous it can be up there. All you need is an iffy day, and the weather turns on a penny. But this was a beautiful hike, Patrick. Thank you for sharing.
Despite the length, Near Black Clough is probably the easiest route onto Bleaklow after the Pennine Way route from Snake Pass. It's a lovely clough and I saw no-one else along that stretch. I've seen people wearing inappropriate gear too, which worries me when I see them on places like Bleaklow, even in good weather. You certainly need good walking boots to walk down Torside Clough. Glad you enjoyed this walk Chris, thanks as always for your support and for taking the time to watch 👍
Thankyou Patrick for another lovely walk, I could never get bored with such beautiful scenery, you could just literally walk for miles 😊 have a nice weekend.
Wow, I loved that. Sat here at my PC with a pint can of Hobgoblin Gold. No better way to spend a Saturday evening than a Beer, and one of your vids. Thanks for your effort. Brilliant.
Beautiful countryside and walk, I know how you feel when the lambs bleat at you, I had one last week at Alport castles,bleating away at me all on its own, you feel helpless that you can’t do anything for them…. Bless
I'm sure that lamb found some other sheep, but yes I did feel a bit sad when I saw it bleating. Glad you enjoyed the walk, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Nice to see familiar areas again. A regular walk many years ago was up Near Back Clough, then along the top to Bleaklow Stones, and down by Far Black Clough. There is no path up Middle Black Clough, but I did that once and found aircraft wreckage scattered in a line over about a mile. It must have hit the ground and gradually broken up over a distance. You had a fine day for your walk, and I agree, Torside Clough is a delight - in either direction. Many thanks.
I've heard that there are other parts on Bleaklow with aircraft crash wreckage, but have not reached those spots myself as yet. I think the walk up Near Black Clough is fantastic, saw no-one at all on that stretch. The weather was sure on my side when I filmed this and, although a tough section, Torside Clough was just amazing. Thanks Michael for watching and commenting 👍
Hi Patrick. I moved to South Wales a couple of years ago from Manchester and the one thing I badly miss is the Peak District, especially the Dark Peak. So thanks for a wonderful reminder of my favourite part of the world 👍🏻
Morning Simon, I actually grew up in South Wales (Chepstow), and in later years moved from Bristol to the Peak District. Glad you enjoyed this, thanks for watching 👍
Anoter fabulous walk Patrick. I’m not a lover of tunnels but did manage the Monsal Trail a few years ago. Thanks for sharing this walk.I really enjoyed it..
Hello Patrick , beautiful walk and only a few sheep dotted around great wide open spaces , I am sure after that 10 miles you were ready for some pub grub that was a long pull up that path. Thanks Patrick.
I have led a walk in Longdendale valley so Im familiar with the area. You did a good mileage on this walk Patrick. Good job early start. Some stunning views in your film. Beautiful to watch especially on sunny day. Very pleasant music arrangement much enjoyed listening to it. Enjoyed so much sharing on my FB page.
Good to know you're familiar with this area Shanita. One of the longer walks I've filmed, but that's the reason I chose to do this on a good weather day in the middle of summer, so that I knew I had plenty of time and daylight. Thank you as always for your kind words about the music, I'm pleased you enjoyed listening to it. I've just found the link to my video on your Facebook page too, so thank you very much for sharing that Shanita, it is very much appreciated. All the best 👍
Wow, you sure put a shift in with that walk. That really was a full days work and well over ten miles. It's like you are on a different planet at times up there. The scenery and fauna changes so much but what colours. Nice to see you in the cap instead of your hat. When it's windy up there, it sure is windy. I would have felt the same about the lamb but what can you do? Most likely it will have been reunited with its mother later. Your cinematography on the landscape is excellent. So beautiful to see. I was a bit livid to see the famous oak tree at Hadrians Wall get chopped down. Some people have no respect for the countryside. As always, I really enjoyed it and twenty minutes felt like five when watching. Cheers Patrick and thank you 😊
Yes I was very conscious of the mileage for this walk, so I put the pace on along the Longdendale Trail with little filming before turning off to climb up Near Back Clough. This was the reason I filmed it (and other recent bleak walks) on a good weather day during the summer, to give me lots of daylight to get the walk captured should it be a longer day than normal. I felt really sad about that lamb, but I hoped that it would have united with other sheep later that day. Glad you like the cinematography, I do try to capture each shot in the most interesting way I can. I too was livid about Sycamore Gap, just unbelievable. Thanks as always Kelly for all your comments and for watching 👍
Really nice to see the outer edges of the Peak District Patrick. When ever we get to visit it's usualy restricted a to a week at max and so we only ever get to do the 'usual' must have central locations. We could actually drive from home (Leeds) to carry out this walk as it's probably a similar hours drive there for us too. :o)
Great vid patrick.. a long day for you.. some yrs ago we parked at Torside on our harley.. looking across to the reservoir and that rd.. very nice i think we'd been to Holmfirth.. anyway thanks for sharing the walking side.. we not walkers nor am i pillion anymore but still got the steed.. lv Ali x
Thank you Ali. I saved this walk for a good summer day so that I had plenty of daylight as I knew it might be a long day. It's a nice view at Torside as you know. Thanks Ali as always for watching and for your kind comments 👍
Well thanks Patrick for another delightful video.the scenery was amazing,I think the red flag means danger,but not sure.hope you have a fantastic weekend. cannot wait for another fantastic video.👍👍❌
Thanks Shane for watching, glad you enjoyed this. It was very small red flag on the path, so it was a bit strange really. Anyway thanks again and all the best 👍
Another good one, as usual. Are you doing the Pennine Way in a series of circular walks or is it just coincidence the last few films have been heading north along the PW? PS Think the red flag will be a route marker for a fell race that was missed when the race sweepers collected them.
Once more, a nice walk. 10 mile plus 3, what is your longest, 7 total hours, how long is you recovery time? Poor little sheep, have lost their way, ba,ba,ba, it was a sung on ,it ain't half hot mum
I've done longer walks, but I try not to do walks that are too long when I'm spending a day filming one. Longest I've filmed was about 12 miles. Thanks for watching 👍

Another great walk, I walked this stretch of the Pennine Way in rain and clag so it was good to see the views finally!
Thanks Steph, yes I picked a good clear day for this walk. Thanks for watching 👍
Wow, I loved that. Sat here at my PC with a pint can of Hobgoblin Gold. No better way to spend a Saturday evening than a Beer, and one of your vids. Thanks for your effort. Brilliant.
Thanks for the kind comments Eric. I love a pint of Hobgoblin Gold myself, I approve. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

That's kind of you to say, many thanks for that 👍
Hi great walk. Any cows on route
Thanks 👍
This was quality... as normal.
Thanks Michael 👍
Another good one, as usual.
Are you doing the Pennine Way in a series of circular walks or is it just coincidence the last few films have been heading north along the PW?
PS Think the red flag will be a route marker for a fell race that was missed when the race sweepers collected them.
Thank you. It's just a coincidence. Thanks for the info about the red flag, that would seem the probable reason 👍
Once more, a nice walk. 10 mile plus 3, what is your longest, 7 total hours, how long is you recovery time? Poor little sheep, have lost their way, ba,ba,ba, it was a sung on ,it ain't half hot mum
