- Today see's me out on a walk in the first snow of the year in the Peak District.A 10 mile walk from Cutthroat Bridge heading up Derwent Edge to Back Tor & Lost Lad.The conditions & views high up were not the best & in those conditions with poor visibility it's important to have a route planned & make sure you go well prepared.I hope you liked the two little stories i told regarding the urban legends behind why cutthroat bridge & Lost Lad got their names.
Very atmospheric with the snow Andy. I was up there 2nd Jan with my lad (he wasn't lost LOL) - I even made a video (plug). Just on a there and back up to Back tor Trig. Had some great views due to the low sun angle. It was quite busy on the ridge with it being a bank holiday. Hoping to get back up there soon for a wild camp. ATB
Great walk did it yesterday with the dog, but was a lot warmer in August. Set out at 4 and back at the car by 8:30, just before the light went. Convenient layby that one by cutthroat bridge!
But the snow and mist have their own beauty, I think. I really loved this walk, especially the story of Lost Lad. What I really like about you Andy, is that you're intrepid, but sensible; well-equipped, knowledgeable and don't stake needless risks. I am loving your channel.
thank you for the comments much appreciated tfw.
I know the place well and very much enjoyed your film.
Love the stories.
I'm working my way through all of your videos. Definitely my favourite TH-camr 👍
Thanks hope you enjoy catching up..
peace pall...
the Wheelstones also known as The Coach and Horses from a distance they do resemble a coach and horses especially if looking at them from Foulstone Delph.. thelangsettwanderer
The snow makes it look so different, I hope we get some good snow this year!
Nice one Andy...this is the way forward loving the local folklore tales...VERY interesting...grand vid pal...TFS...ATB R&D 😀
Thanks R&D,i was doing a bit of planning for the route & came across the stories & it got me thinking.So after checking the weather for the area & knowing the walk may be short on views with the fog i decided to add them in to the walk to make the vid that bit more interesting.Bit of a sad tale the "Lost Lad" one & being up there in those conditions it's easy to see how people get lost...TFW & the comments guys..ATB Andy.
Nice atmospheric walk that Andy proper enjoyed it and made all the better for the folklore, Them story's need to be told and you told them well. Cheer's mate look forward to more. ATB Jim.
Cheers Jim i came across the tales whilst planning the walk & just had to add them in the walk.Must say i really enjoyed that one with the snow being down despite the minimal views but i was out getting a walk in up in the hills which i love doing no matter the weather...TFW & ATB Jim..Andy.
good video.like the addition of the urban storys too.😋
Thanks Kerry TFW & the comment...ATB Andy.
Hi Andy, Great video and good to see the snowy hills. Watched a few of your videos now and recently subscribed. Walked the Dark Peak hills for nearly 30 years but never knew the stories of the Lost Lad and Cutthroat Bridge, so thanks for the little history lesson. Well done for clearing that sign too, it could just save someone`s life. Dave
David Earl hi mate thanks for the sub & watching.ayy theres quite a few stories & legends as to why some places in the peak have their names,find it all quite fascinating myself.love exploring the place as im sure you do with 30 years of walking the peaks.tfw mate atb.Andy.
aww what a story!!. great video
Thanks Peachy Outlook it as a nice but sad story.TFW & ATB..Andy.
Great video Fantastic location
Hi Andy
I just came across you on you tube and subscribed, you did a great job of creating that Peak District winter atmosphere. I prefer winter up there myself it totally changes that place.

Hi Wasdale man..yes it really does change the place love it up there in the snow...Thanks for the sub too subbed you back..TFW & ATB..Andy.
Hi Andy. Liked the video thanks.. will sub your channel. That’s a great walk and indeed some fantastic views on a clear day but the snow tops puts a different perspective on the scenery equally as awesome. I’ve not had the fortune yet for my derwent edge walk to land on such a day. As you say need to be prepared for those conditions. First time I met snow being inexperienced had me lost for hours on Bleaklow and was scary indeed. The stories add to the atmosphere and you tell em well. . Didn’t know about the cutthroat bridge - gruesome tales! Take care. Stephen.
Hi Stephen TFW...I had a good days walk that day & the snow does make it more interesting despite the lack of views that day.As you say on days like that with limited views it does give xtra importance on having a route planned & good knowledge of the area or it can get interesting very quickly in those type of conditions.The story's i'd looked into previous & thought it'd add a little more interest to the walk,i especially like the lost lad one & that story only add's to the importance of navigation.Thanks again for watching & atb for the new year..Andy.
A great series of videos so far Andrew, i'm hoping to get out in the snow myself sometime for a wild camp. Interesting stuff about the legend of cutthroat bridge and lost lad. Also in response to my comment on your first vid, i definitley think you have got better :-)
look forward to more from you
ATB Mark
Cheers Mark...as i was planning my rote i came across the tales & thought i just had to add them into the walk.sad one about "lost lad" but with the conditions as they were that day you can see just how easy it is to get lost up there with minimal visibility...TFW Mark & ATB...Andy.
Hi andy great walk that mate one for me and mrs to do On a day like that a view is a bonus its just great to be out int it Loved the local folklore tales i live in derbyshire i dint know them tales thanks for that info very interesting andy I will have to find a book on peak district history and folklore till next time andy keep walking and keep em coming mate your vids are very good best wishes to you and take care chris ps whats the blue top you have on under your jacket it looks very warm cheers chris
Hi Chris Thanks for watching mate..Yes it was a cracking walk to do even in those conditions i really enjoyed it despite minimal views.The walk on a clear day has some amazing views to offer,Iv'e been up Derwent Edge to Back Tor a few times now & it's a cracking well recommended walk.I came across the stories whilst planning the walk & just had to add them in knowing i was visiting the locations.The "Lost Lad" tale is quite a sad one & experiencing those type of conditions it's quite easy to see how people can get lost up there...The top is a Berghaus Verdon II Fleece Hoody it's my old faithful that top it's so warm when up in the hills...TFW Chris..ATB Andy.
Doing this walk on Thursday the weather isn't looking to be in our favour but still should be a good day out.
