Haha! The home of the legendary ‘Rave in the cave’. Some of us Cumbrians love the peace of the mountains, the solitude and poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Some of us also like banging acid techno and a party. Good times!
Thanks to "Bee Here Now" for another great watch. Ollie, most videos feel like were watching a scripted documentary but with you it like were there with you as you speak with us through the camera. What a place to live, the country is so beautiful. Thanks for your time and effort...
We used to do 'outdoor pursuits' with school at hodge close. Basically it was about 8 of us and a teacher, in old clothes with hard hats and lights exploring all the old mines, that was actually a double lesson! We would go to school early so we had more time. Alot of the mines have been filled in now though.
Or even Dinorwic Quarry - still full of machinery and remains. Even one shed which still has some old coats and boots left. Bit od a haul up to some of the best remains though, my knees almost gave out on the way down last time!
wow, brilliant video as always, I like the amount of work you put in to find obscure places to visit, I don't know this part of the Lake District at all so can't wait to drive up there and check it out!
Hi Ollie. We used to abseil from the top of Cathedral and Hodge Close. We used to land on the steel platform at Hodge Close. But a massive boulder fell down and twisted it it to what you see now. Brings back scary memories. Especially the zip wire over Hodge Close. Cheers Mick
Dorothea Quarry near Talysarn just the otherside of Carnarvon, is a really interesting place. Ive always wanted to explore but the diving sucks up the time. That would make an interesting vid.
Bit of a tangent here. The cathedral reminded me of the last episode of a 70s kids tv series Changes, so off I went to find it. So thanks to you I got another great video and the a night of 70s nostalgia!
Hats off to you for bravely walking the bridges. Brilliant video and amazing views. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Well done. Happy New Year to you.🌹
Happy New Year Ollie! That was a great way to begin another year of great videos. Couldn't help making all the mental references to Middle-Earth...not that I think you're a Hobbit, but I swear I saw Gollum in the background in one or two shots. Thanks for your usual enthusiasm, your channel is always a great way to spend a happy half hour.
Nice video! We spend a lot of time up there in the spring and summer (better weather conditions for the kids). We’ve done a few of the high peaks, (Fairfield fell, St Sunday Crag & Harts Crag). We have a little family hiking channel, hoping to inspire other families to get out.
No I don't really do requests I just generally do whatever looks interesting. But I'm always open to a good suggestion and I've done a couple of places people have suggested so yeah let me know
@@BeeHereNowuk Sorry Ollie, didn't mean an actual request. I was just thinking of the old Oak Colliery, the tramway down to the Hollinwood Branch canal and the canal itself.

Somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, spectacular caves and history info
Yet another gem, brings back memories of 50 years ago when I last visited these places, thank you.
This beautiful area is better then what is on BBC or ITV for sure.
We discovered and explored these 2 caves last weekend 👍
Or even Dinorwic Quarry - still full of machinery and remains. Even one shed which still has some old coats and boots left. Bit od a haul up to some of the best remains though, my knees almost gave out on the way down last time!
The scale of those cave mines is nuts, what a great journey! Looks like something out of a game!

Wow, this is a very beautiful area! Would love to visit it once 👍

Thanks for another great watch.
I visited Cathedral Cave almost 10 years ago, & there were little goldfish in the pool. Fantastic place.
That sky is like a painting!
This is great! I love Langdale and yet never knew this place existed!
One of my favourite UA-camrs. Love your enthusiasm!
Thanks for sharing

Hats off to you for bravely walking the bridges. Brilliant video and amazing views. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Well done. Happy New Year to you.🌹
This is a great clip. The bridge is my personal highlight. Worth to add it to my places to visit in case I travel UK hopefully again in the future.
Great video mate ! I really like the Lakes. Lookin forward to more great vids in 2022!
Amazing place. There’s so much beauty in natures reclamation of dead industry.
Very interesting and impressive. Even the music as well. Beautiful scenery.

Your videos are always amazing and informative. I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw Gandalf being chased by some orcs through the quarry!! 😀
Haha thanks. That would be amazing!
I've dived Hodge! Its a bugger to get your kit in!!!

Interesting - thanks !
Good video m8 happy new year
Is worryingly thin that first slate bridge!
we used to party at hodge close in the 80s, less trees then
Rave in the cave?
It's a beautiful day - let's go underground...
It saves on Sun-block. People from Manchester are not really used to it. 🌧️
Something just occurred to me - do you do request videos? There's one I would like if you do.
No I don't really do requests I just generally do whatever looks interesting. But I'm always open to a good suggestion and I've done a couple of places people have suggested so yeah let me know

Whatever you want to call it? It's Lancashire Over The Sands. 😉
