Hellooooo to both of you!! Yeah was a very nice day, lots of low mist and fog to drive into the Peaks and almost thought it wasn't going to be very good for filming. But bits started clearing as I got towards Derwent Reservoir and above so not to bad. Yeah its an amazing place, will go back soon to do some POV of the scramble up to the top of 'The Tower', glad you liked my extra drone footage 😃😉 still getting used to it like but great fun. It was a very boggy walk to the trig, only like 1 n half miles to it I think and elevation wasnt a lot on the map so thought 'yeah got loads of time' but took me about twice as long zig zagging round the bog 🤣 Thanks so much for watching as always you know how much I appreciate it 😊😊😊 Take care both of you and enjoy the rest of 2021 🥳🥳🥳 Chris 🙏🏼💚👍🏻🍻

I'm following 'Walking with Walker' on the PCT 2023. He hasn't got a lot of followers, so I went through those following him. A lady called Kim is following him. I then look at who she is following, and I come across your channel!!! I can see Rambling Rachel, Gazoutdoors, and NHT Norway and wonder with these names why I've not come across your channel. So, in a nutshell, that's how I come to be here. I've been up Alport Castles this year, but unfortunately, it was a very windy day. I was on my way up to Alport Moor to bag the very unremarkable Ethel that is up there. Nothing, just boggy ground. On the way back Alport Castles was still windy sadly. It is one heck of a hije and my furthest so far at 13.08 miles. I'm 61 so that's a long way for me 😂. I'll be back up to bag West End Moor Trig Point again as I've zeroed my Trig list and have started out on the 88 Trig Point Challenge. Like I said previously, I can't understand how I've not seen your channel before, but here I am now. New Subscriber from Stafford England. Quid Pro Quo for a lesser channel just starting out? 😢. Irregardless, I'm here for the duration. Great vlog, great Trig Point. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Chris!! Huge apologies for the delayed reply things have been a bit mad with work my end this last few days, have just seen your comments! Wow put and hiking at 61, absolutely fantastic Sir good job! Amazing to hear you out having fun and enjoying the great outdoors ☺️👏🏻 I am so glad you came across my channel and even happier that you enjoyed what you saw 😀 The KZread algorithm is a bit of a funny thing haha I get confused with how it all works and don't understand why channels don't get thrown in it sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️ 13 miles is a great effort and especially battling the winds, just means you will have to go back 😁 THANK YOU so much for the support and subscribing I honestly appreciate it so much!! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 I noticed you have some videos yourself so I have gave your channel a sub too and will check out some of your vids over the next few days etc. Once again thank you for your support and for a fantastic comment. Here's to sharing many adventures together and I hope you continue to enjoy my videos! Take care... Chris 😊👍🏻👍🏻

@theheightoflife thank you so much for the quid pro quo, Chris. I'm a small channel, just enjoying life. I'll never get monetised and not interested in that really, just want to connect with like-minded people who enjoy hiking. KZread has me in Afghanistan, so I'll never make a penny anyway. I haven't got a clue why as I've never been there. All my settings say England. But the glitch in the matrix is there for good, it seems. Oh, well. If the channel gives me memories to look back on, then that's good enough for me. I don't know if I said this already, but a year ago, I couldn't even get up Mam Tor. Overweight and post covid. I left the first vlog up there to inspire others, but I cringe at 1 & 2, especially 2, as the wife made me take her penguin up there. It's really cringeworthy, but I did it. Anyway, have a great weekend.

Another top class video. Certainly seemed boggy getting to that trig point but none escape you !

Hi!! Thank you so much for the fantastic comment 😃🙏🏼👍🏻 The Peak District is a great area, this was in the 'Dark Peak' area with a lot of moorland and gritstone and it was very interesting to see potentially the UKs largest landslip feature! If you would like to see a different area of the Peak District called the 'White Peak' area which is a lot more green and limestone then please feel free to check out my latest video on 'The Dragons Back'. This is a very historical and educational area with 2 of the most iconic hills in the Peak District. During the Carboniferous period they used to be reef knolls under a tropical sea and there are some great exposures of Gigantoproductus fossils 👍🏻 Amazing! Glad you liked my aerial footage thank you so much and there is more in the Dragons Back video I told you about if you were interested 😃 I hope you have a great rest of your week 😊😊 Take care...

But, didnt think it was very sensible to try especially as everything was slippy and ive only just started going out again really. There will be other times though... I know exactly what you mean with the sitting. Might be a different thing 🤔 as my hip issue is my hip flexor not the joint if thats what yours is, but sitting too much makes it flex for too long then hurts and have to stretch it more. Hope you get out on a hike and it starts feeling better 🙏🏼🙏🏼 It was good yeah thanks and hope you did too 🎄🥳😊😊

Used it in my very first video and got some cracking footage. This will take your videos up another level, exciting stuff. Take care mate 🍺👌

@@adventurewithbernie 😆🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻 Ahh cool! Yeah you should definitely dig it out and use it if you get chance. Bet some of the ares over there look awesome with aerial footage 😀 Cant wait to get out into the Lake District and more mountainous areas next year with it. Hoping to capture some amazing scenery from up in the air 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Take it easy mate 🍻👍🏻

@@theheightoflife One of the problems I've had is so many locations here don't permit drones. But I will definitely use it more often from now on. The regions you visit are going to look superb! 🤩👍

@@adventurewithbernie Ahh I het ya... well when I first got mine I took it to my local park, big open area and went very early in the morning so noone would be there, only to have a little practice with the controls. But as I live within 5KM of Birmingham Airport I was in a 'no fly zone' so wouldn't even let me take off 🤦🏻‍♂️😂 Had to drive to another park out of rhe no fly area lol. I could do another licence to be able to unlock the code to fly it but no point as ill only be using it in the locations I go really and they're all fine as long as you stay within the height rules etc. Mad with all the laws for drones, luckily as I got the Mini 2 its under 250g so can fly it 'easier' than the drones over 250g etc. Hope you like any further aerial footage I put in my vids over the next year etc. The Lake District, Wales and Scotland is what im looking forward to most

Nice! Where abouts did you park pal and how long was it from car, had the weather for it aswel !

Hi Brad!! Thanks so much for watching my video 🙏🏼🙏🏼 im glad you liked it 😊 I parked in Bridge End car park in Upper Derwent Valley next to Derwent Reservoir then its a nice simple route from there. Its 3.4 miles and will take around 1hr 40 mins if you keep going and arent filming haha. Easily 2 hours if you stop a few times to take some photos and admire the views etc. There are a few routes to Alport Castles but I went the most simple way as ive been out of action for a few months with a pretty bad back injury so easing myself back into things 👍🏻👍🏻 Hope this is helpful anything else you would like to know please send me a message or find me on Instagram if you have that 😊 Hope you enjoy your weekend mate 👍🏻 ATB....

Alport Castles is on my ‘to do’ list and has been for a while. Was it very boggy up on the moorland? I was considering doing it in the summer when it’s a bit drier. Thanks for the video, amazing views and scenery x

Hi Rachel! Awesome you should definitely do it, really great place. Actually round Alport Castles wasn't to bad at all, ive seen it a lot worse. But about half a mile after enroute to Westend Moor Trig point it got very boggy then. Had to zig zag round the bog diverting off into the moors a bit so took me twice as long lol. Just to Alport Castles and back though wasnt anything too bad bog wise anyway. Rocks were slippy though so take that into consideration when you select the conditions you want to go in 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks so much for watching as always 😊😊x

Excellent video as usual. Too short though. Where did you park? That is definitely on my to do list. Probably in January or February. What day was this?

Thanks mate... yeah sorry for the short video with this one. Glad you still liked it though 👍🏻 Just after you go over the bridge for Ladybower / Derwent Reservoirs on the Snake Road you turn right towards Upper Derwent Valley and there are a few car parks on that road. I parked in Bridge End car park. You should definitely do it, great location. I havent been there for ages way before this channel, wanted to do some POV footage of the scramble up the tower but not going to chance that sort of thing just yet untill I feel fully recovered or at least close lol. This was mon or tues last week 👍🏻

Looks nice there. Is that the new GoPro you're using?
