Great video, spent many a day down Cockster over the years. For anyone watching who isn't from the area, or is under 30, that mass of trees you see from around 15 seconds to around 1 minute never used to be there, that's actually an old tip where all the plates & cups from Wedgewood, Spode & Royal Dalton etc... got dumped. Used to always be playing up there as a kid untill we'd eventually get chased off by the caretaker, used to get covered in cuts & bruises running down the steep sides at full pace with all broken plates sticking out everywhere! Around the two minute mark, great to see as kids still play on Black Rock, always believed as that was some comet or summat when we were kids haha! And just a few seconds later I assume that's the video taker standing on top of Camels Hump? Really surprising to not see the shell of a burnt out car in the dip in the middle, they were always there years ago!
Correct i was stood on there :) not from round there originally I grew up in normacot (before it became the sespit it is today) and I'm 33. Thanks for your kind words. Matt
