Glad to see that you had good weather again, Patrick. Yes, Alston does look a lovely town with what looks like some quite old buildings, and two outstanding ones, in particular like the town hall and the church. The further you went on your walk, the landscape was extremely pleasant. That looks a real good setup, the narrow gauge railway and the station, with its facilities. I bet the trains would be rather a joy to travel on. Many thanks for the production, Patrick, it's been really great.
My week in the North Pennines last September was pure sunshine, I was really lucky. thought Alston was fantastic, would love to return someday. It was certainly a varied a walk with the rugged fields and moorland then a gentle stroll beside the railway line. Glad you enjoyed it Ffranc, many thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Vielen herzlichen Dank Patrick. Das sind stets herrliche Spaziergänge. Ich bin immer wieder beeindruckt über eure tollen Landschaften und die Architektur!! Ich mag halt England 🤷. Hier gibt's auch schöne Landschaften und Städte, keine Frage!!! Thank you. Patrick 👍👋👋
Hi Patrick what a lovely walk, nothing like total peace and quiet sometimes 😊 the little train station looked like a model set! Shame the cafe was closing...thankyou for taking us on another lovely walk, have a great weekend.
It sure was a lovely walk again Steph, Alston just blew me away. Well it was nearly 4pm by the time I was finishing the walk, so I missed the cafes by then sadly. It was sure a great day though all the same. Thanks Steph, have a great weekend too 👍
I've watched people walking the pennine way before but their videos didn't do it justice. Your in-depth walks around the North Pennines have really shown the contrasting beauty of the area. It's been fantastic. Alston looks marvellous with it's old stone buildings. The hillside and different types of trees really makes it a beautiful part of our isles. I bet your time staying in the area flew by. I liked the Northumberland and Cumberland sign. I do like a Cumberland sausage. Brilliant as always and so glad you got to visit the North Pennines and take us along too. Cheers Patrick
Many thanks for the kind words Kelly. For me, it was great to be able to film different sections of the Pennine Way again during my week in the North Pennines. Alston was just an amazing little town, would love to return to the area one day and stay in Alston if I can. The week did indeed fly by. I liked that Cumberland and Northumberland sign too 😀 Thanks as always Kelly for your comments and for watching 👍
Another stunning walk Patrick, again I'm a bit vague on this section of the Pennine Way but I definitely remember Alston as we stayed in the Youth Hostel there, you've got to love this country for the wide variety of landscapes we have, as walkers we're all lucky enough to experience and enjoy.
Thanks for your kind words Steve and for watching. This part of the Pennine Way has been completely new to me, but Alston certainly made an impression on me when I was here last September. Walking is definitely the best way to enjoy our wonderful landscape. All the best 👍
hi Patrick just got round to watching your video,and I must say it was spectacular,the views were amazing,and the music was delightful.and Alston looked a lovely place.cannot wait for another fantastic video.take care.👍👍❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it Shane, it certainly blew me away when I visited Alston and the surrounding area. Thanks as always for your kind words and for watching 👍
Great film yet again Patrick. I believe Alston shares the ‘highest Market town in England’ with………….yep Buxton, and I also believe that the railway that closed in 1975 was one of the last to actually close under the Beeching Act……
Thanks Paul. Yes I was surprised to discover during my research that some claim Alston as the highest market town, when I always thought it was Buxton 👍😀
Well Patrick, that was very enjoyable viewing, I live in Ontario Canada now, and having left the North of U.K. I very much miss the countryside, thanks for the upload.. TC 👍🙏
Yet another great walk. I share your enthusiasm for Alston, a delightful little town. Whenever possible, I like to return from a holiday by spending a full day stopping off at places on a route that is not a direct one home. My favourite way home from the Northern Lake District was Alston, Teesdale, Barnard Castle, and routes through the Yorkshire Dales to Skipton, before heading home. So many good places to linger a while on the journey. Long time since I was up that way. Must go again before long. Thanks so much Patrick.
I thought Alston and it's location was fantastic, something very magical about it. That's a great trip back from the Northern Lakes on your way home. I shall certainly return to this area when I can, and maybe stay in Alston if I can. Thanks Michael as always for your kind words and for taking the time to watch 👍
Pleased you enjoyed Alston so much. Sounds as if you would have liked longer time up there. It looked like a pleasant countryside route too. As always enjoyed sharing your journey and filming, with mix of instrumental melodies.
Morning Shanita, thanks as always for your kind comments and for taking the time to watch. Alston blew me away on my arrival, so if I ever return to this area, I'd love to stay in Alston next time. This was an easier walk than the previous ones, so that was very welcome 😊 All the best👍
Thoroughly enjoyed that one Patrick. Ha, that lovely little town is not built for trucks eh? Well, it's built to look a beauty in the land as you said travelling in. And what land it is around there. You mentioned the varied on the first part of the walk and it it did have its allure - love places and spaces like that. As for the Tyne it gets about -would love to walk that river one day. But the rail line was nice to follow. I have a youtube friend you might like Patrick - you may already know of Nigel Harness who does some great old rail trips with walks. He'd love a visit from you. Any way, checking out Alston - tight in the middle of the big hills there. Thanks for sharing the area with us. Mark
NIce one Mark. Yeah Alston certainly is a bit on the tight side for larger vehicles! 😂 It reminded me of a smaller version of Ross in a way with the tight town centre and market house. I loved the varied beauty of this walk. Fields and rugged moors for the first half along the Pennine Way, then a nice gentle stroll along the railside path. I'll check out Nigel's channel Mark, thanks for that. This is definitely an area to where I'd like to return sometime, so yeah if you ever get the chance to walk along the South Tyne, it's sure a good 'un. Well thanks Mark as always, keep safe and all the best down there 👍
@@solitaryrambler Funny that tight was a mistake - I meant tucked in but it works. Yeah, I get the Ross analogy. Good to hear of the walk - the kind I relish too. Re-Nigel he's a really nice chap - can't go wrong there. For sure I reckon the Tyne would be a joy. I will keep safe - you too.
lovely place..we have camped on a site just outside the village several times....you covered several sections of the Pennine way last year, all of them beautiful...it's the Daddy of long distance trails.
Wonderful video, Patrick, I also love this part of the UK. Shame no trains were running. Do you plan to visit High Cup Nick and Cross Fell in the future?
Many thanks Paul for watching and commenting. I wanted to do HIgh Cup Nick whilst I was here this week, but that was the walk that got sacrificed in the end due to my car trouble which I mentioned in my previous video. No plans to do Cross Fell at the moment 👍
Hello Patrick , these Pennines walks are wonderful just stunning . I just watched a very interesting video on the village Eyam on TH-cam " The Village That Beat The Black Death " have you walked around there my Mum knew about it she went there a few years ago there is an interesting gave yard there . Thanks Patrick.
Morning Shaun, I really enjoyed the North Pennines last year, and it was great to film stunning walks in a new area. Yes I've been to Eyam lots of times, it's not far from where I live. Made a film there too 10 years ago 👍
Another lovely video pat, I know you frequent the Pennines and Peak District quite often but have you ever considered Scotland, hoping to get up Scotland with some fellow TH-camrs late spring early summer, take care pat.
Thanks Ken. Later this year I've plans to travel down south for a change, which I've been saving up for. Scotland would be lovely, it's just down to time and cost really with it being that much further away, but hope to get up there one day 👍
Watching these walks on big screen TV feels like I'm rambling in real solitude ❤😊
Hi Patrick yet another wonderful walk we really loved it ! thanks
Nice one Russ, glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
