Can’t believe you have only had just over 500 views, your videos are by far the best I’ve seen in here for the peaks, looking forward to watching a few more cheers Matt
What a lovely comment Matt thank you.!!🙏 I’ve had a channel on TH-cam for a number of years. However it was only at the end of 2019 that I decided to put more time into it and video document my trips out. My intention for 2020 was to produce and upload more content but 2020 turned out to be the wrong year to do that for obvious reasons. So at present the channel remains small and relatively undiscovered by the TH-cam algorithm. I’m actually okay with that as the main reason behind my uploads is to give me something to look back at when I reach an age when I’m physically unable to explore the hills and fells, also they may give my family and friends something to play at my funeral😉 If however my videos do help viewers find their way on routes, bring an occasional smile and inspire the viewer to get out and explore the great outdoors then I’m obviously more than happy with that too.!!🙂 Thank you for watching my video and thank you once again for your lovely comment🙏 All the very best Mike Ps... If I could heart your comment twice I would.!!❤️❤️
@@mattroberts3331 Your more than welcome fella but no thanks are needed really as I enjoy putting them together and uploading them🙂 Take care and enjoy the summer buddy😎
Amazing scenery. I don't know why I always drive past the Peak District and head straight to the lakes but now this and kinder are on my list. Keep up the good work 👍🏔️
Yes Tony definitely give the Peak District a go.!! It’s well worth a number of visits. I’m lucky in the fact that it’s quite local to me. Not as epic as the Lakes or Scotland but still beautiful and worth exploring. Especially around the Edale and Kinder area. Can get extremely busy over a summer weekend however so I would definitely recommend going midweek. Your lucky in the fact that you have it all ahead of you to explore. Enjoy.!!!! Thanks for giving my video a watch it’s very much appreciated and I’m so glad you liked it. Definitely lots more to come this year. Keep safe🙂
Hi. I stumbled across this video as I’m exploring more of the Peak District in a couple of weeks. Your videos are far superior to many I’ve seen and I would happily tune in if you were on the tv! So much information and awesome footage. Please post more!! From a Lakes, Yorkshire and Scotland hiker. All the best, Louise 😃
Wow your comment has blown me away.!! Thank you so much Louise for your very kind words🙏 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it has helped you plan your trip to the wonderful Peak District. I do plan on uploading lots more content however work commitments are hampering that at the moment🙄 Wishing you fantastic weather for your trip to the peaks and a super safe journey to the area🙂 Thank you again for giving my video a watcharoo and for dropping me such a lovely comment🙏 Happy hiking Mike
Wonderful Mam Tor ridge! Super video and drone footage! We've lost count how many times we have hiked this since June! We do the circular walk sometimes from below winnants pass to Loose Hill and back to Castleton via Hope and others, from Hope to Mam Tor and back to Hope via Castleton! We also went over to the lords seat one day! Its amazing on week days when not so busy!
It’s probably one of the best walks you can do in the area. That’s obviously why it’s so busy. Yea I also go midweek when I’m in that area for the same reasons. It is a wonderful part of the country🙂 Thank for watching the video Maggi, I’m glad it brought back fond memories of your walks in the area🙂
I can’t believe you don’t have thousands more views, the quality of your videos is awesome. I only came across this as I am going up Mam Tor with my daughter this Saturday, down to Hollins Cross then back along the broken road and so glad I did.
Hi Chris, Thank you so much for your kind words it’s much appreciated🙏 You will have a fantastic time as it’s a wonderful walk along the ridge. The broken road is very interesting indeed. It shows that man made construction is no match for the power of Mother Nature. I hope the weather is kind for you and your daughter during your walk and I’m so glad the video was of help to you. Thanks again for taking the time to give it a watch🙂 All the very best.. Mike
@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors yeah you really get a sense of the power of nature from your aerial shots of Mam Tor, you can clearly see the outline of the landslide, again great production and quality! Weather is looking good and all is set fair. Thanks very much.
Absolutely the best Great Ridge guide on YT period. Have just walked Mam Tor and Winn Hill and this Vid fills in all the gaps and more...subbed and can’t wait too see more content from you, ATB Steve
Wow thank you Steve for your very kind words. Thank you for the sub too🙏 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope the weather was good for your visit to the Peak District and you were able to enjoy the views from the top of Mam Tor and Winn Hill. It is a lovely part of the country🙂 All the very best and happy hiking, Mike🙂
@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors your very welcome. Always fancied a walk up Kinder so your Kinder downfall walk is next on the list! keep up the good work, Steve
@@andrewfox2687 Thank you for your kind words Andrew. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment it’s much appreciated. Happy hiking. Mike🙂
Hey thank you so very much for taking the time to give my video a watcharoo and also for dropping me a little comment, it means a lot👍🙂 Yes I love that area of the country too.!! Next time your there drop into the George Pub on Castle Street and give their nachos a try, they are absolutely fantastic.!!!!😍 Thanks again for watching and I hope you stay super safe while your both out and about on your adventures🙂
Thanks Mike for a great video. It takes us back to that day when we met you and the lovely holiday we had in Edale. The arial views are amazing and the commentary really interesting and informative. We look forward to seeing your next video from the Lake District.
Helen Cole Hey thanks Helen for giving my video a watcharoo and for taking the time to drop me a comment. So glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back good memories. I hope your both doing well and your getting out as much as you can. The weather is rubbish at the moment up here in the Peak District but hopefully it will be bright and sunny for your next visit whenever that may be. Thanks again for subscribing and hopefully our paths will cross again. Stay super safe and I wish you both sunshine and clear skies on your next trip out🙂
So glad to find your channel - your videos are so relaxing and beautiful to watch! My fiancé and I tried to walk up Mam Tor in November 2016, but the wind was so strong we couldn’t even get up the steps! So it was lovely to watch your video, and makes me want to go back and try again someday. :)
Awww Mother Nature has put a stop to many a fine plan for a wonderful day out. Thank you so much for such a lovely comment Natasha. I’m so happy you liked the video. Hopefully you’ll be able to give it another go super soon and the weather will be kind to you on your next visit. When you are able to get up to the area again I’d recommend paying the George Inn a visit in Castleton to try out their cheesy nachos, you won’t be disappointed.!! 😋 Thanks again for you lovely comment, keep safe🙂 Mike
@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors I really hope we'll be able to go back sometime. Will definitely give the George Inn a try - thanks for the recommendation! We're both really enjoying your videos, so I hope you'll keep uploading!
@@NatashaNewtonArt Awww I’m glad you both like em🙂 I’ll be uploading another in the next couple of days. Just got to sort out the thumbnail and it will be up. Thanks again for watching and I hope you have a fantastic summer🙂
A fantastic video! I’m glad that I’ve stumbled upon your channel. Your Peak District videos really take me back to my youth when a group of us would regularly jump on a train to Edale and partake in many walks in all weathers. I’ve lived in South Wales for 17 years, now, but am really starting to feel home sick. Thanks again for posting these videos.
Hey thank you Michael I’m so glad they bring back happy memories and you’re enjoying them. Thank you for taking the time out to give them a watch. Edale is also my normal starting point for my walks too. I’m hoping to get a few more videos done around the area this year. Hope you’re able to pop back up to the Peak District soon so you can ease that home sickness feeling a little bit. Thank you again for watching and for dropping me a comment. It makes it all worthwhile when you receive such nice kind words🙂 All the very best Mike
@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors I’ve watched a few more since leaving the above comment. All absolutely brilliant and professionally done. The drone clips are summet else! I was wondering how you manage to film them as you don’t appear to be holding a control, or is there an automatic setting? I’d love to buy a drone and GoPro but I think I need to put in a few more rest days and Sundays, first! 😳
@@mikecrowther8131 I’m so glad you like the ones you’ve seen. I always try to get a little bit of drone footage in the video at some point. Normally towards the end of the walk when the light is better for it. It’s a bit of a pain lugging it along in the pack but if you don’t lug it you don’t get the shot I suppose🤷♂️😬😰 If I just want a simple circle of the summit I set it to auto after setting the height and distance and the drone dose it’s own thing, leaving me free to roam around the frame. All other times I fly it manually. Nowadays you get a lot of drone for your money as they are always pushing the technology further and further with each one they produce. If you need any advice on which drone to go for when you have got those rest days and extra Sundays done let me know and I’ll try and steer you in the right direction🙂
@@sillwuka There is a National Trust car park near the base of Mam Tor with plenty of parking. The walk to the summit of Mam Tor itself is a very straight forward one, with stone steps most of the way. The climb up these is quite hard on the knees but if you take your time and rest along the way you shouldn’t have a problem. The walk along the ridge to Hollins Cross is a lovely down hill walk with great view’s to the left and right of you. It’s a good little stroll for beginners. Because of this it is very busy at the weekend. Go during the week if you can🙂 Happy hiking Mike
Another enjoyable walk Mike. I love the Great ridge. These days, I tend to swerve Mam Tor as it’s just way too busy for my liking. It’s like the Peak District version of Snowden 😊
Awww thank you for giving it a watch Anthony🙂 I totally agree with you, it is a very busy little route but I thought I would have to do a video on it at some point or other. Fantastic views all the way along and easy accessibility is the obvious main reason for its popularity. Off to the lakes for my next one I think🤔Thanks again for taking the time to watch my video and for dropping me a comment🙂
Furrychalkbag Productions have a great time in the Lakes Mike. Will look forward to your video. I’m there myself next month and really looking forward to it. 👍
Haha It certainly makes the hike a little longer, but if I don’t go back then there would be no video😄 Thanks for watching Kevin, I hope you enjoyed the video🙂
It does get a bit busy up on the ridge unles you go midweek, but there's good reasons why it's so popular. Nice video, just subbed. Would apprecite you taking a look over at my channel when you have a spare minute 👍
Hey thanks Des for checking my video out, it’s very much appreciated and cheers for the sub👍 There will be plenty more videos coming along after lockdown. I’ve had a snoop around your van already👀. Good to see your fully kitted out ready for a quick getaway when the zombie apocalypse kicks in. It’s great having a heater in the van. It feels like cheating but it certainly keeps you cosy. Looking forward to seeing where you get to in it over winter. Keep the videos coming and stay safe🙂
@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors Yes, I think everyone is chomping at the bit to get out again. Hopefully won't be too long! All the best, and thanks for taking a look 👍
