And there was no underpass. Id walk up the hill (dragging a sled in winter for the ride home) cross a stile and get picked up for school in the bedford van/bus
@@Gray-beard great info. I know the current residents of the cottage. The underpass was probably put in at about the same time as the Bowes by-pass which I think was about 1982. :)
Thank you Penny. Glad that you enjoyed it. I appreciate that some folk can't walk these routes for one reason or another, these videos will hopefully take them on the route without actully being there.
Fantastic video of an excellent walk. My wife and I watched it and it brought back memories of our Pennine Way journey. We appreciated the attention you gave to the PW in this video and the surrounding areas. A big thumbs up from us 👍
A very enjoyable and interesting walk and one I have thought about a few times myself. The only thing that has always put me off it the walking through farms, which I try to avoid, due to my mistrust of dogs, off a lead and cows, especially with young! Funny enough we passed there today on the way home from the lakes and it took us almost an hour to drive through Barnard Castle to Bowes due to the diversion off the A66 nightmare! Cheers Alan
Hi Alan, Thanks for the comment. I have just had a thing and actually not all of those farms are working farms where you would be likely to encounter either dogs or cows. Yes, conjestion has been bad in Barnard castle over the past few weekends due to work being done on the A66.
@@AndyBeckTeesdale was good to meet you too andy, just went as far as the second farm, got a few photos on the way, then headed back before it got too dark, ill just follow your route on a day ive got more time
40 years ago i lived in Godsbridge Cottage, just above the bridge. Rode my yz80 Yamaha through the Pennine way :)
