Yeah what a guy. He really did put Bolton on the map, way before the likes of that tubby funny, not so funny comedian came along. Thanks mate for having a watch.
I really enjoyed this Ant. I used to watch Fred all the time. He was absolutely fearless. So nice to see his family are keeping his memories going. Nice video. Looked a good trip. 👍
Hey Andy mate, big thanks man. Yeah I had a couple of stories to share too, maybe I’ll get them up next year when we head there again, he was ace wasn’t he. Yeah they all live and breathe what he stood for and his legacy it’s good to see that. Cheers buddy!
Hi Benny, ahh very cool mate, if you see them again please say hello to them, they are a great bunch of people. Timeless classics those vehicles aren’t they pal. Thanks as always for watching the video.
Hi Ant a fantastic video and very interesting. Loved seeing all the old steam engine. A great interview too. Just shown it to my other half Malc. He is leaving you a comment. Thanks again for your great videos. See you on the next adventure 😊👍🚂
Hi Cath, hope you both had a fantastic long weekend? Yeah we went a couple of years back but I never recorded it so I’m happy that I did this year. Thank you very much, it was very kind of Lorna to take the time. Ahhh brilliant thank you for sending Malc the channels way, that’s very good of you Cath. I hope he enjoys it. Once again thank you for your continued support to the channel, I truly appreciate it.
Well worth the wait Ant. Top do. Finished off with some Bushcraft-perfect video. Thanks 👍 pal. I must get to the museum for a look. My granddad used to be down Hapton Mine as were of his brothers after coming down from Ayr. So steam power is close to my heart.
Thank you Mark, yeah camping and Bushcraft are second nature on my videos, it’s has to have it in haha. Yes, definitely head down there pal, preferably when the rally is on but I’m sure it’s well worth a look when it’s not. Ahh right, definitely in your bloody then Mark, great stuff mate.
Cracking production that Ant, really interesting video. My dad used to be a Steeplejack back in his early days and said he knew Fred. I think they did some work together at some point, but my memory might be playing tricks. Nice one mate 👌
Hi Joe, ahh cheers bud. I really enjoyed this edit it was fun to do a bit of research and clip it all together. Oh right! Not an easy job at all, brave, brave men in them days, tough as old leather. Yeah my dad worked with him on a job too, crazy small world isn’t it. Joe, thanks man
Great video Ant and what a ledge Fred was. Love being a lancashire lad.. Going off the subject I wandered up Pendle today and found George Fox's Well.. Looks grotty but very fresh tasting water. I gotta do a camp up there against that wall. Take care pal😊
Hi Andrew mate, thank you pal and glad you enjoyed it. Yeah he was a gem wasn’t he. Good on you pal, yeah it’s a fantastic find and will be a great help to us wild campers when we need to replenish our supply of water. Cheers matey.
Hiya Ant Cath has just shown me your video about steam engines. Many years ago I worked in steel erecting and Fred was often on the site. It brought back lots of memories. I will look forward to seeing more of your videos thanks again from Cath's other half Malc. If OK I will start subscribing to your channel
Hi Malc, good of you to comment mate. Oh ace mate, he certainly got about didn’t he, salt of the earth I’d say. Fantastic Malc, I hope you enjoy your he content pal and I am most grateful of your sub buddy, thank you!
Thanks Chris, yeah top time was had pal. Oh boy yeah it smelt more of oil if I’m honest mate. Yeah it was very good of Lorna to give up her time like that. Thanks pal for having a watch
What a super cool event to go to! How freaking neat is that! Sarah and I finally got a chance to watch this last night with Sarah. I don't think we have anything quite like this. Nice camera work, we really enjoyed this.
Hi Rick, thank you matey that’s very kind pal. Yeah some absolute beasts on show on this one. You have the amazing steam trains and your beautiful steam boats. I’d be heading out filming them if I was over there with ya haha! Thank you both for having a watch. I didn’t have chance to get in yours last night but will tonight pal I promise
@AntSurviveTheNight Someday, we will make it over to visit. Maybe get in a wild camp and hike. Oh man, you're going to love Episode 6. What an incredible hike. Hardly anyone on the trail. It was an experience we will never forget.
Yeah definitely mate be great to see you both! Yeah I am looking forward to it pal, you got some amazing country out there, you know I’m a big fan boy Rick 👍
Great video Ant, Fred was and still is a national treasure and God most definitely broke up and threw away the mould when he made Fred because he knew his job for creating another legend was done and there will never be another like him. Listening to Lorna, it's like listening to Fred in a way because you can hear the genuine appreciation and respect for the steam engines and also for her half brothers Jack and Roger, too and I'm glad they all respect each other too 😎💪👍🍻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I will make sure to share this video and hopefully help you get a ton more views and subscribers from loads of other Fred Dibnah fans that will enjoy this video 😎👍
Yeah I really enjoyed this little weekend, great people and fantastic engineering. Yeah Fred was a gem wasn't he matey. I appreciate your support mate and big thanks for watching 👍 cheers pal!
