    Magnificent! Never seen a waterfall like that. Your face and smile said it all !
    I always think the landscape hugs the ones who truly love nature, as though it appreciates the ones who have the love of the countryside in their hearts .. like yourself Patrick.
    Top quality filming!

    I absolutely loved that one Patrick - your walk up the Tees valley. I said, 'this is one I'd like to do one day.' It was and is indeed spectacular. I haven't much to say other than I think I would have been as mesmerized by Cauldron Snout. A fine place in England indeed. All the best up there bro. Mark

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  9 місяців тому +1

      This has to be my favourite walk of all the ones I did in the North Pennines Mark. Teesdale is just a beautiful valley. I noticed Steve (Tramp in the Hills) said the Tees was his favourite river, so I would say it is probably now one of my faves too. Cauldron Snout was just the icing on the cake, absolutely amazing to see and to be able to scramble up beside it. Well thanks as always Mark, take care down there too 👍

    That was so unfortunate that you had a puncture, Patrick, especially when you were planning another day's walk, but you caught up the next day, thankfully. The slopes below the cliffs are impressive with all that bolder scree running down and into the river bed. Cauldron Snout is nothing like I've ever seen before in England, it has an immensely powerful water flow. Cow Green reservoir looks picturesque, with the dam. All in all a really great day for the weather, and it's been another excellent video in this series, Patrick. Thank you.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  9 місяців тому +1

      One of those things Ffranc, I lost one day, but the others were still great. This was my favourite walk in the end, beautiful stretch of the River Tees and Cauldron Snout was fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks as always for watching and commenting 👍

    Apart from the superb scenery, I think the solitude and the absence of crowds is one of the main attractions to the North Pennines. Wonderful!. Such an enjoyable film Patrick, and you were so lucky with the weather.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  9 місяців тому

      It was certainly a solitary walk, although I did see a few people at Cauldron Snout towards the end, I just made sure they weren't in shot whilst filming. Certainly my favourite of the North Pennines walks I did with such awesome scenery. Thanks Michael for your great comments and for taking the time to watch 👍

    It was so beautiful and calming I didn't want it to end. I always went away when the schools went back and always had lovely weather and peace and quiet. Cauldrons snout was fantastic. Nothing beats the sound of running water in the countryside so peaceful. I could sit there for hours. After your previous days walk in the heat Patrick, maybe it was a good thing to have a day to yourself. Shame about the expensive for new tyres though. I remember you cancelling your holiday. A place to rest your head always comes first. Delightful as always and great to watch. Cheers 😊

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  9 місяців тому +1

      This was my favourite walk I did during my stay in the North Pennines, with Cauldron Snout being the icing on the cake. It was certainly a day to myself for the most part, although I did see people towards the end. However, I made sure they were out of shot whilst filming. The tyres was just one of those things, but I still had a great week. Certainly the house move was important back in 2022 and I knew the North Pennines would always be there for me to re-book the holiday. Thanks Kelly as always for your great comments and for watching 👍

    Great Video full of good content. I live in the north east, 23 miles from Cow Green Reservoir. I have been there before but never been to Cronkley Fell and Falcon Clint’s. I will definitely be checking them out. Whilst researching the area for your video. Did you notice High Cup Nick? It very impressive. You can walk from the Cow Green Car Park along to High Cup Nick. I’ve never been but I’m going to hopefully walk it this year. All the best and keep up the good work.

      Many thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to watch. This was the third of 5 videos I made in the North Pennines last September, and this was my favourite walk. I wanted to do High Cup Nick, but I would have done it from Dufton as it would have been too many miles for me from Cow Green bearing in mind I spend longer when I'm filming my walks. I don't know if you recall me mentioning in this video that I lost a day of filming during my stay in this area when I had to take my car to Barnard Castle one day to sort out some new tyres, so unfortunately it was the High Cup Nick walk that got sacrificed. Hope to return one day when I can to film that walk. All the best 👍
