    Splendid weather for a walk. High Force never fails to impress; your film has made me itch to go back o the North Pennines some time, after a long absence from the area. Beautiful film, and your music is ideal for the landscape.

    • @solitaryrambler

      I had the perfect week of weather, although a bit too hot perhaps, but sunshine all the way through. I really enjoyed the North Pennines, hope to return sometime. Thanks Michael for watching and for all your kind words 👍

    Absolutely stunning Patrick. Those waterfalls sounded powerful. Just think what they are like in full spate. I'm glad they have thought of the walkers and provided those bridges. Mind you, I'm not sure as I qualify as one person or two. 🤔 I really like it when I'm on my own too. The tourists tend to keep to the attractions and then walk back rather than making a circular of a walk. Another beautiful walk and that Pennine music is beautiful too. Thank you for sharing, Patrick.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Many thanks Chris. High Force was more of a trickle during my visit, but still impressive all the same. I certainly would have loved to have seen it in full spate though. It was quite weird how, once I left the Pennine Way to follow the route back to Bowlees, I saw no other walkers at all. Thanks Chris for all your kind words and for watching, all the best 👍

    @ffrancrogowski2192 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This is so much a wonderful area, Patrick. The Force waterfalls are an amazing sight with the power of the water gushing through the rocks on the High one. The Winch bridge looks real good to cross with the water flowing below. On some of the views on your film, there seems to be an abundance of farms dotted all over the landscape, so it must be a very good grazing area. You had the good weather that you wanted, and deservedly so for this most pleasant walk. Most enjoyable to watch Patrick, thank you.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Glad you enjoyed it Ffranc. The waterfalls are what attracted me to visit the North Pennines in the first place. I loved that bridge. There were a lot of farms seen on this walk. The weather for the whole week I was there was just fantastic so I was very lucky. Thanks Ffranc for watching 👍

    What a stunning place. I could listen to those waterfalls all day. The wooded areas reminds of home here in Canada. I never thought that would be in the UK. I said before that your Wye Valley/Symonds Yat videos were my favourite. Now, I don't know. Listen to the falls with ear buds and have a spiritual experience! Just breathtaking, Patrick. Cheers, Mate!

    Morning Patrick, Wow, you have treated us this week to some cracking scenery and wonderful weather too ! ..I almost felt sorry for Bleabeck Force on this walk, on any other walk it would have been the star of the show but it was certainly over-shadowed by High Force on this occasion. A fabulous episode to watch :o)

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Morning Steve, I felt treated myself visiting this lovely area last September, it was fab. I loved High Force despite the low water levels during my visit, but I equally enjoyed Low Force and Bleabeck Force. Thanks for watching 👍

    In your last film I said I was a bit vague about the part of the Pennine Way path you used, but there are sections that are etched in the memory and the walk up past low force and high force is something I'll never forget.

    I thought low force was brilliant then it was outdone by high force. It blew me away. Absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't like to fall in either though. September was quite nice weather wise so perfect. It did look quite a walk though in the heat. The views across the fields and the hills was beautiful. I've never seen this part of the pennines before and I'm really impressed. Loved the tree shot on the slope and the accompanying music matched the setting perfectly. Hope you enjoyed your time there and thanks for taking us along. Cheers Patrick

    What a lovely day for your walk and majestic waterfalls to see too Patrick. They looked dangerously deep drops in parts too. Nice to see the weather and yourself dressed in warmer climate than current winter. We were up the River Teesdale area last year too. The route you took looked fairly level too without too many steep climbs. Nice gentle sections to your music.

You'll know this area then, it sure is lovely isn't it. The route was about 9 miles, but no difficult climbs really. Thanks for your lovely comments on my music and for watching 👍
