Hey Chris, we were so pleased to see this video pop up, great to see you back out there hiking mate😊🙏.

This looked like a tricky route with all that mud and slippy rock😳, clearly you were loving it regardless though⛰👍😊. Some really different scenery there, liking the geological info too, nice touch👌.

Hi Alex! Thanks mate it was great to be back in the Peaks and in this area too for a change. Parkhouse and Chrome Hills are superb for sure! Might not be the highest hills but they are epic! Really glad you liked the drone footage 😀 it was recorded on the DJI Mini 2 mate. Ive heard the Mini 3 should be out in April, but I got a good deal on this before Christmas plus I know this drone has smashed reviews. Some of the new versions of drones have an issue here and there so wanted to wait till the Mini 3 has been out for a bit. Cant see how they are going to 'dramatically' improve it though to keep ut under 250g to be honest. If you were thinking of one I fully recommend the Mini 2 💯%!

Thank you so much ladies!! Really glad you enjoyed it and thought it would be good to show you what it was like after you mentioned it to me. Parkhouse was definitely more awkward for sure, Chrome Hill is very straightforward with paths, just Parkhouse you have to do the rocky parts if you want to go up and over it, but you can hit the summit then double back anyway thats what some people do if they're unsure or the conditions arent the best, the you just rejoin where I said I used my poles and carry on up Chrome the same anyway. Hope I can make it 😁😁 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔 both so much for watching 😃💯🙏🏼🙏🏼

The Dragons Back is a fantastic hike. Coming off Parkhouse is definitely iffy. I did it in summer, and the shale was still giving way on the way down. It seems we opted for the same muddy bit too. I came down on my back after losing my footing. After that I bought some treking poles. Before that, I was on my ass on most hikes. It's a lot less now, but it still happens occasionally. Great drone footage, Chris, and perfect mus8c along with it. Where do you get your music from? Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed this vlog, especially with the geology. It's amazing to think of a tropical sea covering all this area.

@theheightoflife

Жыл бұрын

Hey!! The Dragons Back is indeed a great place and great hike. It dies have some great history and educational areas too and definitely crazy to think of it all being a large reef Knoll etc under a tropical sea!! I just stood there thinking wow, that's crazy! You can actually find some Gigantoproductus fossils around the area if you know where to look in the rocks, so if you're ever that way again have a look 👀 Treking poles do really help a lot and in multiple ways too, apart from just helping with balance they can be superb 'ground testers' for going off course in the middle of the moors. Some trigs in the Peak District are in the middle of nowhere and depending on the time of year and weather there is a lot of bog you have to go through lol. Especially in the High Peak. Thank you for your comment on the drone footage and I always try my best to time my clip changes etc with the music of I can rather than just random footage. I get my music from Epidemic Sound 👍🏻 Really glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for clicking on the video and watching! ATB... Chris ❤️

@theheightoflife I have hiked in all weather, and yes, the treking poles have been invaluable. Hiking from White Low to Westend Moss , you can put your treking pole down to the handle in the bog, and it is just as bad from Overwood Moss up to Alport Moor, to name a couple. Even Featherbed Top has been a nightmare. I won't go out without them now.

Thanks for the video, Parkhouse Hill looks a bit too steep for me. I have a couple of walks planned shortly, (your fault) - Alport castle and a trip up Kinder by a different route and maybe a trip up to the site of the USAF crash site.

I did take a lot of extra care than usual in a lot of parts as I didnt want to chance falling over lol. Been doing very well with my rehab though so felt ok to do this walk otherwise I wouldnt have.

Haha no sorry mate, this is the name that has been given to that hill range as from certain angles it looke like a sleeping dragon 🐉 The whole loop is 5.8 miles and takes around 3hrs 15 mins if your not stopping to film lol. Maybe allow 4 hours for a break here and there and slippy terrain 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching really appreciate it 🙏🏼💚

Hiya mate, great video, I’ve been wanting to see do the Dragons back for a while now but we do most our hiking in the lakes, what drone do you use ?? I’m using the DJI mini 2 I’ll defo be checking out the rest of your videos and I’ve subscribed Big love team 54 🥾🏔❤️

Hey!! Thanks so much for clicking on my video, watching and leaving me an awesome comment 😃 The Dragons Back is awesome and I am in the Lakes quite a lot hiking and mainly camping as you will see in my previous videos. As you are new to my channel on 1st Nov I had a real bad back injury and have spent the last few months recovering and using private care. I am nearly done now thats why I eased myself back into walks in the Peak District and did a few cooking / reviews videos to get some content up. But, I will be fully back very soon then back into the fantastic Lake District and other more mountainous areas! So thank you very much for your patience and a MASSIVE THANK YOU for the sub!!! 💯🤜🏻💚🤛🏻 I use the DJI mini 2 also its a superb little drone and does everything I need. Really appreciate your great feedback I hope you enjoy any more content you watch and I will head over and check your channel out too 😊😊 Take care and keep safe Chris 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@54DegreesNorth Thank you so much! Just thought id say incase you wondered why my content was spaced out a bit differently in these last few videos and the next couple of weeks as ive got another life hurdle since the new year. But, once this is sorted very soon I will be back to consistency within the channel. So once again, thank you for your patience and understanding 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I have just check out your latest video and subbed back, absolutely brilliant!! Will watch another when I am back home 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks again and it sure is! Your brilliant content just proved that. I only just got mine in December so really looking forward to getting it into the Lakes!! 😃😃 Will do you too and take care ❤

@@theheightoflife I’d love to get some consistency but I work long hours and have 3 kids so it’s as and when I can tbh, my last vid was just a quick mash up of drone footage I did whilst I was isolating last week. I’ll defo keep an eye out for your new content and will slowly work my way through your existing, hope all works out good mate Big love team 54 🥾🏔❤️
