"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler
There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: / solitaryrambler

Many thanks and I hope you enjoy watching!

Thanks. A real tonic for those of us stuck indoors for the present.
You're welcome! Thanks as always for watching 👍
Perfect day, perfect season and perfect place for a walk. Can't ask for any more than that. Thank you!
Couldn't agree more Richard! Thanks as always for watching 👍
I have to congratulate you for such a brilliant series of walking films.
I am currently looking after my Mother who is unable to walk as well as she could. Via your films, I am able to transport her to the beauty of our countryside again.
Until the age of ten, she lived at Holywell Malvern Wells; the little house to the right of the bottling plant you visited in the Malvern walks. Their water came from the water spout behind the main building. That was 1935, little has changed.
Thank you and glad to see you enjoyed her childhood home the way I did when I visited in 2012.
Many thanks for the kind words! I loved filming the Malverns back in 2019, some of my favourite films I've made. Thanks for commenting and for taking the time to watch 👍
@@solitaryrambler We watch a film everyday whilst eating lunch. We may have to go back to the beginning!!!! your warning off was like a red rag to a bull. Patrick, we are about the same age and it looks like we both appreciate our beautiful country and ale.
What a superb walk that was Patrick so thank you very much for taking us on it. For me personally there is something magical about lakes and reservoirs and these were no exception being very pretty indeed. Old Brampton looks a lovely spot and will be on my list this next summer when I intend to find a campsite near Ashover to use as a base. Can't wait. Thanks again for your excellent work, hugely appreciated.
Many thanks as always Jeff. I've only ever walked to these reservoirs once before which is quite surprising when I think about it, so deciding to make a film here was great. Old Brampton is a very pretty, if somewhat linear village, but definitely worth a visit whilst you're in Ashover. Thank you again too and all the best 👍
Nice to hear the church bells..don’t hear that much anymore & not at all here in 🇨🇦,lovely walk,thanks
Thanks for watching Linda, yes it was lovely indeed to hear those church bells 👍
Should you ever end up in Ashover village, Tuesdays I think or whenever, you'll hear but the church bells echoing up n down the Amber ( Asher) Valley there, S'like another world, especially if the skies are clear, sun out, etc....
Another cracking video Patrick. Mel and I walked round Linacre Reservoirs last Christmas
Cheers Ged, not a bad spot really is it 👍
My mind was set on all the gun fire Patrick ... i did wonder just how long it must have gone on for...anyhoo .. another great video...loved the church and its history...And of course you cant beat a great reservoir walk .. weve done quite a few our selves this year and we love them... so scenic as well for Lee and her photography ...Keep up the great work mate ..Regards Frank & Lee....
The shots were very dominant in the background weren't they. It was going on for several hours during the filming of this, so it probably continued after I'd gone. Glad you enjoyed the curch and the reservoir walk. As always Frank and Lee thanks for your continued support and for watching 👍
Another beautiful video my friend. Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed watching this.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it. All the best 👍
Another lovely walk,in an area I’m not familiar with,and a beautifully made and edited film,love how you always point out the pubs too and tell us a little about them,really enjoyed that as usual Patrick,thankyou,and have a great Christmas,Pete.
Glad you enjoyed it Pete, yes I love talking about the pubs, even if they're ones I've not been inside! 😆 Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas too 👍
Another lovely walk Patrick. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Luke, many thanks for watching 👍
Have a great Christmas Patrick. And all the best for 2022.
Cheers Michael, hope your Christmas has been good too. Happy 2022 to you 👍
Very nice scenic walk Patrick. What a lovely part of the Country you live in. So much to see no wonder its so popular with visiters. Thank you for sharing take care and all the best.
Many thanks John, it's not a bad area is it! Thanks for taking the time to watch 👍
You have some great walks in your neck of the woods. When i used to go for walks in Derbyshire, i would often hear the sound of gunshots. I always thought i would get shot. Those reservoirs look perfect for a stroll around so I'm not surprised that it was busy. The foilage has that winter look now. Thank you for all your time and effort. Cheers.
The shots sounded so close, this is the second time I've recently come across that. Yeah a lot of people who live in Chesterfield enjoy walking around Linacre Reservoirs as it's a nice spot just outside the town. Thanks Kelly as always for watching and commenting 👍
An early start for walk before 9am, but lovely weather for filming. Some beautiful scenic views on your reservoir route, with church bells in distance. What a display of books packed into that telephone box. One way of passing time inside a telephone box!! Those guns went on for quite some time on your walk. Nice gentle piano arrangement Patrick.
Hi Shanita, I always try to make an early start in my walks as I never know how long the day's filming will go, as well as ensuring I get a parking space before it gets busy! 😆 That phonebox with the books was something wasn't it! I've actually come across a couple more of those in other places since filming this. Those guns certainly dominated the background didn't they. Pleased you enjoyed my piano theme too. I enjoyed performing that as it took some practice. Thanks as always for your kind comments and for watching. Have a great week 👍
I'll watch later Patrick with a brew. Have a good day. Mark
Nice one Mark, hope your day is going well 👍
@@solitaryrambler I was waiting for a story at the pub Patrick. A rare omission. Lovely walk though. Them lanes will have seen a few country folk and laborers in their time. I think it's always nice to see a place through a different lens like going back out of work. Strange to think you zoom through the village normally. I can hear you say, 'one day I'll be back to walk it.' Well, you did it some credit. Thanks Patrick. Have a cool weekend.
Ah not been in the Royal Oak near Wigley Mark, so no story for me to tell there 😂 I just love all those old lanes, will certainly have some great history. Yeah as I work all over Derbyshire, there is much of it I don't explore in my own time. There are a lot of parts which are not so nice of course, so most of my walking is in the Peak District normally, but there are some other parts like here for instance which still provide some lovely walks, so getting the camera out was a good reason for me to do this one. I'll have to say the line "one day I'll be back" in a future one! 😂 As always Mark thanks for watching and have a great weekend too 👍
@@solitaryrambler Ha ha, 'I'll be back.' Love that Patrick. Yeah, I imagine you do see lots of patches that beckon your return. That's the good part about your work. I can see you casing joints lanes and all. A pleasure as always Patrick. Peace.
Having a Boxing Day binge on your latest films Patrick, I hope Christmas went well for you and wish you a happy New Year. Mike.
Nice one Mike, thanks for watching as always. Hope you had a great Christmas too and a happy 2022 to you 👍
I remember the beautiful early morning of the 21st of November as I was walking your South Wingfield route. No doubt I’ll be walking this one very soon.
Nice one, glad the walk went well. Hope you do this one too 👍
very nice walk again Patrick another good walk .
Many thanks Andrew, glad you liked it 👍
Visuals are really heartwarming.One of my favourite channel.Thank you so much. 🤝
Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you so much 😀 Hope you had a great Christmas too 👍
Lovely video Patrick nice Autumn colours nice to hear the church bells. Have a great weekend 👍😊🙏
Many thanks Cath, glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend too 👍
@@solitaryrambler Thanks Patrick 👍🙂
Hello Patrick Lovely video of your walk nice old church yard I love the old church yards nice to sometimes take the time and read some of the old grave stones my Mum had a cousin that lived in Beighton the church there on High St has a grave which says Queen Of Gypsies if you are ever out that way its worth a look. Have a great weekend .
Many thanks as always Shaun. I love exploring churchyards as you probably know and would have gone inside this church, but there was a service going on at the time so I thought best not to. Hope you have a great weekend too 👍
Beautiful 🤩
Thanks 🤗
Thank you, Patrick, for another relaxing film and for reminding us that the beauty of nature is often right on our very doorstep.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks as always for commenting and for watching 👍
Another excellent video, we love watching your productions they are just perfect to relax with. Loved the music as well, we were wondering whether you had changed your keyboard or added an additional item to your music set up?
Thank you very much Marian, pleased you enjoyed it! I've still got the same Yamaha keyboard that I've had now for about 17 years, but I'm always trying to experiment with new sounds from it when I can 👍
A great walk there Patrick. Pleased that you survived the firing range too 😆. Linacre reservoir is like a mini Ladybower isn’t it? Just as busy and as beautiful too. I did enjoy seeing the old phone box that had been converted into a book swap. I’ve seen a few of those quaint villages in Lincolnshire. Sign of a posh village haha. Have a great week ahead 👍
I edited out all the scenes where I was ducking from the gunshots Anthony! 😆 I found Linacre very pleasant, I'm surprised I've only done a walk around there once before, but yeah it is rather like a mini Ladybower in many ways. That phonebox was great wasn't it. Funnily enough since filming this, I've come across a couple more villages in the Peak District which also have books in the phonebox. Very posh indeed 😊 Have a great week too 👍
A lovely walk on a perfect day - thank-you. The church bells sounded like change ringing. Such a contrast: church bells and gunshots. I know which I prefer. 😊
Thank you for watching Jean. Yes I knew which I prefer from the church bells and gunshots too 👍
The weather gods are smiling on you as of late Patrick . I noticed on alot of your earlier videos that you were dealing with rain ,drizzle and clouds . But now you seem to be basking in the sunshine .Another lovely video . Thanks !
I can pick my days thankfully Bill as these places are local to me. Any previous drizzle was probably as the weather forecast was different to when I looked before I went out 😂 Thanks for watching as always 👍
You can’t beat an autumnal walk. Your film does a wonderful job of capturing the vivid colours of the trees etc. Nearly at the end of my second week of covid induced isolation so hopefully, back out and about soon😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad to hear you'll be hopping and skipping again very soon Paul! 😂 I love filming in Autumn for the reasons you've mentioned. All the best 👍
Another quality production Patrick. It's great how you can walk across farm land on designated walking tracks something that is not easy to do in New Zealand without permission of the land owner first.
Many thanks as always Chris. Yeah I guess we're lucky in the UK in that public rights of way cross private land, although you still get the odd landowner who can be difficult 👍
great video as always patrick.will you be going further a field in later videos.i used to enjoy them.
Many thanks, glad you liked it! I'm staying local for the freseeable future due to time and cost 👍
Seems such a nice area. Had to pause the video several times to wonder the sights. Minus all this awful shooting. No way I would have felt comfortable there.
It is a nice area, thanks for watching 👍
