    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.

    That was quite a hike, Patrick. I've yet to hike to the Trinicles, but I've been up to Ashway Moss and along Dovestones. Certainly a beautiful hike. But I was short on time, so I got off before Chew. Another fantastic hike, Patrick. Thanks for sharing.

      Another walk I deliberately saved for a long summers day Chris, and possibly my favourite one this year to film. The walk up to the Trinnacle is certainly worth it if you're ever up that way again. Thanks Chris for your comments and for taking the time to watch, always appreciated 👍

    Many thanks for this video. I know this area very well, having visited Dovestones many many times. For the last 19 years I have lived in Greece, but it is videos such as this that tug at the old heart strings. I am originally from Oldham. The ruined building, is, I am almost certain, an old shooting lodge.

    All of this moorland that you show on this video is remarkable in scenery, with there being these reservoirs to complement the scenery, Patrick. Birchen Clough was a tough one over those rocks, but what was most surprising was the Trinnacle, and you went to the top of it, amazing. A very enjoyable film to watch, Patrick, many thanks for showing us the area.

    What majestic views. British countryside at its best. That was some rocky terrain you mastered to get to the trinnacle. As for jumping from one to the other, you wouldn't get me on even one of them. You were very brave getting up there and deserve a medal but a pat on the back should suffice. Loads of reservoirs up there but I've always liked Dovestone the best. I think that small home could have been for shooting parties. If it was an actual home, then it puts that old hovis advert to shame, if you walked for a loaf of bread. Excellent as always and great to see the amount of views this has received already. Cheers Patrick 😁

I certainly wouldn't jump from one to the other though! I think I like Dovestone Reservoir best too and I agree with you about the small home. Long way to walk for a loaf of bread 😁 I'm actually really astonished how quickly I've got so many views on this one, but it's lovely of course. Thanks Kelly as always for watching and commenting 👍

I loved that - kind of chuckled at your joy. I favor the old building being a shooting lodge for the estate of the day. They had a few of them. This walk was full of wonders - Chew valley was and is awesome. Well, a fantastic loop walk. One of your best this year. Mark

Lots of vistas indeed on this one, I enjoyed it more perhaps as this was my first time on this walk. I bet you're right about the old building, I can see that being a shooting lodge too. Glad you enjoyed Chew Valley, it was an awesome one through which to descend to Dovestone Reservoir. Thanks Mark, it was a favourite of mine this year to film too. All the best down there 👍

    Patrick, i would just like to say thank you for inspiring me to take in this wonderful walk after seen your video. And it certainly did not disappoint. From the start of the walk by Yeoman Hey Reservoir to the stunning and at times testing scramble up Birchen Clough, to the truly special sight of the Trinnacle itself followed by the perfect sunset over Alphin Pike. A tough but very rewarding walk and day. Thank you. 👣🌿⛰😊

      I'm so glad you enjoyed this walk Ian and that you were inspired by my video. That scramble up Birchen Clough is great isn't it. The Trinnacle, well it speaks for itself. Now that you've been there you'll know what a fab sight it is indeed. Really pleased you enjoyed this walk, certainly one of the best I've ever done I would say. All the best 👍

    You had a lovely day for seeing the landscape at its best. It's my local area, but we tended to reserve local walking and climbing for the shorter days of winter, so rarely saw it at its best. Good snowy days in winter though, and that had a beauty all of its own, and its challenges. Very enjoyable to see it all again. You must have passed a rock known as the dove stone, which, when viewed on the skyline from below, bears a resemblance to a dove, and presumably gives its name to Dovestones.

      Morning Michael, it was wonderful shooting this walk. Like my other recent walks, I saved this for a long summer day as I knew it was a longer one and more challenging in places. I remember passing Dove Stone Rocks marked on the OS map, but I definitely missed seeing a rock resembling a dove. Thanks as always for watching 👍

    • @michaeldenham9681

      I only know of it because it was pointed out to me by two of my walking friends who lived in the row of stone houses nearby when they were children. I was somewhere near the roofless stone hut.@@solitaryrambler

    • @solitaryrambler

    Yet another stunning walk Patrick and professional video., You were very lucky with the weather. Dove Stone is probably best visited midweek (If possible) as it always gets very busy at weekends and you can struggle to find a place to park. Do NOT try to park on the main road up from the main entrance as the traffic wardens have a field day dishing out tickets.

    • @solitaryrambler

    Actually Patrick, you were also an inspiration a while back when I did Parkhouse Hill and Chrome Hill...I had a pint in Longnor afterwards, and was told it's pronounced "Chroome" Hill...that was me told! Anyway, your videos are always appreciated...do keep them coming!

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  10 місяців тому +1

    Patrick, exceptional scenic walk, great picture on top of rock formation, how is your knees after jagged rock climb, great malvern walk was fantastic, took a sip at the St Anne well, your film help out, they had their marathon run through the hills, lots tired limping runners, you should of had your fishing tackle with you , film could of ended w😅with you cooking fish over a camp fire.

    The Bins Green car park useful to know about, instead of Dovestones car park. So familiar places walked by ourselves. I was intrigued to see that scramble up Ravenstones/Birchen Clough having avoided it myself. Excellent filming up. Bet you did some running about between camera positions. Held my breath whether or not you would climb up the Trinnacle, What an achievement. I know Michael has years ago. I couldn't do it!! (I've notice two spellings of Dovestones too!) Your best film yet and loved the music. Really enjoyed this Patrick.

    • @solitaryrambler
      @solitaryrambler  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much for all your kind words Shanita, always appreciated. I was very pleased with this film too, so I'm glad you really enjoyed this one. There was quite a bit of running about between camera positions, but again, I chose to shoot this on a long summers day in order to give myself plenty of time. I had to climb the Trinnacle whilst I was there, and to be fair it wasn't as difficult as I thought. The filming of the scramble up Birchen Clough was the hardest bit actually, but still very enjoyable. Thanks again Shanita for all your support. Have a great week 👍

    Nice one Patrick. We did that exact walk back in June. However in the opposite direction. It was our first time. We are In Hartington so as you say its quite a drive. That said we need to do more in that area. I need to do Pits & Pans on Aldermans hill

    As a photographer, The Trinnacle and the associated reservoirs have been on my list for a number of years, but like you it has been just that too far to travel. Your excellent video has now inspired me to make the effort. Keep up the good work. Incidently, the spelling on the OS map is Dove Stone. 👍

    • @solitaryrambler
