This is brilliant Gareth! I just want to say how totally in tune I am with what you are doing all around. For those that do not know, I am David Icke's former wife. So peaceful to be walking this path with you through the lens, as the next best thing to being there is ... here. Freedom🍃🌿
Lock down was tough, for some more than others. The outdoors got me and my parents through it, and was extremely important to my father especially with his dementia becoming so extreme so quickly. Sadly he passed away a few months ago, but I think of him every time I go for my walks and hikes. I think you do a great job of documenting all your adventures (now with your friends), creating fine lines between entertainment, adventure and sharing historical information. Oh, and we love it when you get stung to f**k 🤣 Great job, mate. Lee, Derby
Another winner here mate! Looking at old railway maps it looks like there was a spur off of the Alfreton to Chesterfield line near Morton and the line would have headed towards Pilsley or Tibshelf. Part of the spur is now access to the active rail line for works etc.
Thank you so much for this walk and history trip with you Gareth. I really enjoyed it and learning about the places, and I liked that you showed old images and maps as you went. I've been meaning to make a start on watching these since you first mentioned them on Telegram - when I saw that you have just posted about episode 30, I thought it was about time I got watching. Glad I did. Thank you 🙏🏻
This is great. We love our walking(in our 30s/40s) and love dovestones, the Peak district, keswick, rivington. Always up for suggestions too. Could set up a website for this, walking is becoming increasingly popular since the buggers locked us down!
Brilliant! Great thing to do, I feel conflicted by the decommissioned railways. Lovely walks and as you say the beautiful railway infrastructure/ the bridges/viaducts. But less trains! Seems mad they did away with the London to Manchester line and now they are trying to build HS2.
Really enjoyed watching this video, I’ve walked this trail many times and never noticed that the railway signal near the bridge was the county boundary marker. Do you have any plans to do the Five Pits trail as I live near it and would be interested to see what I’ve not been noticing on that trail?
what a great idea, the son of the man who woke me up about 18 years ago while i stayed in north norwood in london with my dying daughter. they gave me a room in the nursing home so that i had not to take a hotel all the time - i live in germany - and also a tv, which at home i had stopped watching. and then there was a man talking about the royals being lizards and was ridiculed on the tv. and at home a somehow ended up watching something about 911 and got my doubts about the official narrative and suddenly i saw a video on you tube with the face of the man i had seen on tv in london. and thats were it begun. later kerry cassidy - i met her peronally in germany - jordan maxwell, michael tellinger etc. and now the son walks, good.

Nothing beats a nice walk in the countryside. Great premier video!
Nath.
You're an armchair walker.
Loved this Gareth, as an Ozstraylian who's unlikely to see that land this incarnation, thank you.

Really enjoyed that, good job Gareth

Thank you!!
Typical Midland Railway architecture. Stunning bridges and viaducts.
Seen on The Settle and Carlisle Railway still, thankfully!
Great stuff mate...Cheers.
Just came across your channel. I really enjoyed your first video Gareth. Looking forward to watching regularly. I have subscribed. 🚂
Love it! I hike regularly. Would love to join you Gareth!
I find these walking videos both relaxing and fascinating. Thank you for sharing this important industrial heritage.
Love this Gareth 👍
this was good. I hope you do more.
Nice! I love this kind of thing... Great start :)
A brilliant start Gareth. Keep it up, you're doing a great program here, with the disused railways.
Great start to the new channel Gareth. Looking forward to seeing more. Best of luck with it
Excellent work Gareth! I'm a big fan of walking videos (I tend to film others walking) and this is excellent!
I really enjoyed this Gaz, keep it up :)
There's some great old railway lines here in North Wales you should try, especially the old Vale of Clwyd line from Rhyl to Denbighshire!
What a lovely cellular concave earth we live in, nice walk :)
Hello Gareth I have subscribed to your TH-cam channel I am looking forward to the series keep up the good work take care peace and love xx

Should check out Causey Arch in County Durham - World's oldest railway bridge. Also Shildon NRM & Beamish Open air museum.

Hi Jon! Yes that's absolutely on my list! Not far from me either!
Great content. For some reason i find disused railways far more exciting than used ones.
Thank you!
Cool man
Gareth (or anyone), any good websites with info on walkable disused railway lines in the UK?
To be honest, I just search the area and railway walk. You can get the alltrails app, but I don't think it's cheap. What area you looking to walk?
@@IckeWalks South of England, mostly. I'll do what you advise and just search the area.

Boring
Yeah, you are.
Says the guy who films shearing alpacas and subscribes to BBC news 😆
Did it took You more than 30 minutes to realize that You was finding it boring?!
