"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

Another beautiful walk, I Just want to say thank you for all the time and effort that you put into making these lovely walks for us all.👍🏻
Thank you very much too Rita for your kind words and for taking the time to watch, much appreciated 👍
A fabulous area Patrick. Monyash is a beautiful village, and the old pub looks ideal in that quaint setting. The grange farm has some lovely cattle and the surprise was to see the peacocks. Lathkill Dale is typical of the limestone vales of The Peak District, with outcrops and cliffs abundant with the rock. Buxton, where I originate from there are similar places on the eastern side, but not on the scale of Lathkill Dale. Many thanks for this production, your videos are so enjoyable and relaxing.
Thanks again Ffranc. Yeah Lathkill Dale is a great limestone dale, always loved it. Monyash is a great village too and the Bulls Head was always a good one on the green. I was surprised too to come across those peacocks so it was great to see them. Thanks again 👍
Nice circular walk in your second part featuring Lathkill Dale, aiso loved the trip along the hidden little gem known as Bagshaw Dale.Accompanied by a warm delicate score, it's another wonderful watch.
Many thanks Jeff, it was a lovely circular walk to film, glad you liked it. All the best 👍
What a delight and a treat that was. Monyash looks stunning, definitely needs adding to my list of places to visit. The views of upper Lathkill Dale are utterly breathtaking. Thanks so much for this Patrick, I loved it and the music, wonderful.
As always Jeff, many thanks for the lovely comments! Lathkill Dale is certainly worth a visit if you ever get the chance 👍
@@solitaryrambler Oh, We definitely will.
You always put the date at the end of your videos too. I noticed you have nearly 5.000 subscribers now, which is great. What a fab walk and great views too. I used to pass a house in wilmslow each day on the way to work. They owned two peacocks that would be out on the front of the road. It was so nice to see one again, as they are unique looking. Thanks for all your hard work. You walk your legs off for us. Cheers😁
Thanks Kelly, yes I do out the month of filming in the titles at the end. I'm chuffed to now have nearly 5,000 subscribers, so it's really great. Those peacocks were lovely, one had run off before I could get a shot of it, but I managed to get the other one. Thanks for watching Kelly, from my point of view filming the walks also helps to keep me fit! 🙂
Another breathtaking walk Patrick, many thanks!!
My pleasure Richard and thank you too as always for watching! 👍
Lovely snapshots of rural England.
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks Patrick i was just saying to lee i think we passed through monyash on the bus during our visit ...lovely village ...the walk looked great along lathkill dale....keep up the great work always appreciated ...regards Frank & Lee...
I thought you might have been to Monyash, it is a lovely village indeed. Glad you enjoyed the walk through Lathkill Dale. All the best Frank and Lee 👍
Thank you for a most relaxing and enjoyable film, Patrick. I usually watch the walks on my tv screen; you have an excellent camera which creates images of the finest quality. 🤩
Thanks for watching as always. Yes my Sony handycam produces great HD quality footage considering it was pretty cheap to buy at the time 👍
As usual Patrick a very enjoyable scenic walk. Fantastic countryside so much to see. Thank you Patrick for sharing take care and best wishes.
Glad you enjoyed it again John, thanks as always for watching 👍
Thanks again for a nice video. We stayed there about 20 years ago and visited again about 5 years ago, so it was nice to be reminded of a very nice holiday. The Bull's Head was excellent. I still remember how good the meals were.
Glad you enjoyed it Joan, many thanks for watching 👍
Beautiful melody with this video Patrick, also the flute version in Lower Lathkill Dale, really like the string work. I tried to play a church organ and discovered my left leg and left arm followed each other so just couldn't play the bass pedals, couldn't stop laughing at what was happening.
Many thanks for taking the time to watch Steve and for your nice comments. I'm quite pleased with the melody I came up with for this. I do try to experiment with sounds, but I tend to nearly always fall back on the ones I particularly like, so have used the flute quite a few times now. Yes the church organ is very different isn't it, so coordinating feet on the pedals and fingers on the keys can be quite tricky! 😁
That looks like a great little route in a stunning area. Looking forward to doing it sometime soon .
It really is Peter, thanks for watching 👍
Hello Patrick , Nice to see you another lovely walk as always we really enjoy them a little bit of home :) Take care stay safe .
Many thanks as always for commenting and watching Shaun 👍
Thanks 🙏🏼 Patrick lovely film best wishes Simon 👍
Many thanks again Simon, all the best 👍
Beautiful video with good presentation. Yes it is nice to meet people 🙏👍
Many thanks again for your lovely comments and for taking the time to watch Carol and Derek! All the best 👍
Wonderful walk….old pig pens most interesting….always amazed by all the public footpaths everywhere….none here in North America…all private land
Thanks for watching as always Linda 👍
A lovely walk, thank you.
Thanks for watching 👍
Watched the video and 3of us did the same walk yesterday 10th Feb. The cave has got a good flow of water gushing out of it now Patrick. We where like 3 kids looking for pigsties, peacocks, Mary and Joseph, etc. And if we ever do see you on our travels we will give you a shout, but be warned one of us can talk the hind legs of a donkey. Lol.
Yes I recently saw some photos on social media showing the River Lathkill in full flow, looking good. It will be great if you gave me a shout if you see me, I can talk a lot too though! 👍
Prob my fave walk in the peaks. I always start it at Youlgreave, and walk across to Lathkill, then follow Bradford dale back to the pub in Youlgreave for a steak and an ale :)
Sounds good, thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant Patrick ! cant imagine you being A Victor Meldrew !!!
I think I've even said "I don't believe it" a few times before now out there....! 😂
Nice to see the second half of Lathkill Dale. That section is a bit rockier under foot isn’t it? Care is needed! Looks like you’re becoming a bit of a celebrity these days. I had my first encounter with a viewer of my channel on a recent walk. Like you, I always enjoy stopping and chatting with people on a solo walk. Do you enjoy a walk without the camera too? I’ve had a few months off filming just to get back to enjoying nature without the pressure of capturing footage. Took the camera out today though and enjoyed it. I think the break did me some good 🙂
Indeed Upper Lathkill is much rockier, it does make it tougher underfoot. Not sure about a celebrity Anthony 😂 but I think more people watch UA-cam these days, so when I've been out I've been spotted by other walkers as I guess it's in their field of interest too. I do enjoy walks without the camera. I do that more so this time of year when the days are shorter and it's a good time for a break from filming. Glad to know you've been back out again. See you out there 👍
Thanks Again Patrick.
Thank you too Richard 👍
As always, a lovely walk Patrick...these paths i have walked many times, although i never realised that the top part of the dale is called Bagshaw dale...i hope i bump into you one day...i wouldnt keep you talking long...[Honest]
Cheers Steve, yes I guess you'll know this area well. Indeed Lathkill Dale seems to end at the road then it becomes Bagshaw from the other side. I hope I bump into you one day too! And I would expect to chat with you for hours and hours if I did! 😂👍
Thank you again for the time and effort you take in making videos that are absolutely superb. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🐨
So nice of you Annie, many thanks as always for the lovely comments and for watching 👍
Great video again! Might have to give this one a try.
Thanks again Joe, yes hope you try this walk 👍
I thought you were going to have a go at playing the Monyash church organ. That would have been interesting. Must admit I don't think I have been to Monyash, Bagshaw Dale or Upper Lathkill. So it's all new to me. Lovely piece of piano melody there Patrick. We would love to bump into you on a walk. A lot to share, but aware how long filming and editing takes - possibly more for you than me.
Wow I've just this minute watched your Watergrove Valley film Shanita 🙂 I will leave a separate comment on it after this. I would have loved to haved played that church organ, maybe in another church if I feel comfortable. Thank you so much for your compliments on my piano melody. I hope we bump into each other too, I'm sure that's likely at some point. Would be good to share stuff but it would just be great to meet you both anyway 🙂 Thanks Shanita for taking the time to watch 👍
@@solitaryrambler I suppose you might need permission to play a church organ but I'm sure they wouldn't mind 🎹
Yes I think you're probably right there with needing permission, but I would never play it without asking someone first. Hope there maybe a chance in the future 👍
Nice one Paddy great vid as always
Many thanks again Jay, much appreciated. Not Paddy though please if you don't mind 👍
@@solitaryrambler Lol ok Patrick safe brother
Lovely walk
Thanks 👍
Yet another lovely, walk and film with plenty of squeeze stiles. I’ll add a mobile autocue to the list of equipment you require😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta feature those gap stiles! Autocue wouldn't work as I make it up as I go along, but I'd still cock my lines up either way! 😂
@@solitaryrambler........ but thats all part of the eight hours of fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Another terrific walk! Do you know if that peacock wild or domestic? Such a beauty. 6 takes to do one segment must be very frustrating especially when you’re feeling the time constraints of a shorter day. The video before this one that took 8 hours to film has to be one of your best imo so take pride in its excellence.
Thanks Jean! I guess the peacocks were domestic as they were on the farm, but I can't be sure. I never find the time of filming frustrating, but as I know how long it normally takes me, I know I have to really get on with it particularly during the shorter days. However, I really enjoy doing it, especially when I am pleased with the results and receive lovely positive feedback from people such as yourself 😊
@@solitaryrambler Btw, life is short and we should all “follow our bliss” (Joseph Campbell) so maybe, once you retire and have a bit more time you could consider taking organ lessons as a way of getting your hands on one. So much to do, so little time 😉
You should know Jean that I learnt the electronic organ during my schooldays, which is how I'm creating the music for these films. I've just never played a church organ before 👍
@@solitaryrambler I know you’re already an accomplished musician and write/play all your own music for the vlogs. But in order to play a church organ, with stops, pedals etc.which is a different instrument than you’re used to, you might ask someone to give you a tour of a church organ or suggest to pay for some organ lessons as opposed to music lessons. It seems a shame not to look for an opportunity 👀 😀 👏
great vid as always
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks 👍
Beautiful video
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
Let us know when you’re making your next video Patrick. I could do with walking behind you picking up all them cameras you leave behind
It must cost you a fortune 😱
Ha, ha, but then he wouldn’t be the SOLITARY rambler 😂😂😂😂😂
Well if only Ged 😂
