Oh no wet shoes and do cold.... Enjoy this your adventure Amazing!.. I wish I am one of your group someday for hiking.... Like your adventure so much wiw!!!
The Colossus that is Dean Read has returned! May we all bask in his glorious productions and educate ourselves with his wise words 😁 Seriously though, since I started walking/hiking/exploring Dean has been an invaluable guide, tutor and source of information which has seen me through many a school holiday with my son in addition to my solo walks and more recently impressing my girlfriend with 'my' Peak District knowledge 😉 Thank you very much Dean and I'm sure I'm not the only one that's glad to see you back out with the camera(s).
Totally agree, I got to know the Peaks in the 1990’s, then life and work got in the way. I stumbled across Dean on UA-cam in 2016 and his enthusiasm, and quality videos fired me up to get back out there. I haven’t looked back since and love every minute we have spent in the Peaks. He should have his own TV program. I was horrified when watching a Julia Bradbury program on Kinder when she said Kinder was 636 FEET high. Dean would’ve know that information was wrong and had a host of other local knowledge to share 😀👍
Great to have you back! We did Hen Cloud, the Roaches and Luds Church last month for the first time and loved it. Super video. The A7 is a cracking bit of kit. Thank you for sharing.
In April 2019 my family and friends walked 12miles from the Roaches, Hen Cloud and Lud’s Church. It’s a fantastic place to explore with breathtaking views - still now. Love watching your videos
Great video Dean, welcome back. I finally made it up the Roaches yesterday, beautiful Autumn day, lots of walkers. Excellent walk. and Luds Church very impressive.
Thank the lord that your back Dean hope you and your family are well mate I think everyone has missed your vids we all love them to bit and I have missed you and your fab video's like I said thank you your back xxx
Good video, thanks. I was at the Roaches on Friday, good weather overall and fairly quiet, but then hail and rain kicked in and had to skip Lud's Church. Excuse to go again 🙂
Lovely to see. We cycled to the three shires head on a monday in the summer and it was fairly quiet. We set off from tideswell and went via the monsal trail, chee dale, king sterndale, crowdecote, longnor, flash. Returned back via Wincle and the roaches, alas the ice cream at Blaze Farm was closed. Love this area and a real tonic in these strange times.
Love the videos Dean. Absolutely love the area around The Roaches and Luds Church. We used to visit Gradbach every year with our Scout group, have so many fond memories of the area
Thanks Joey, all the best to you too and I hope you're having a great Xmas. 2020 has certainly been a rollercoaster ride for many reasons, here's hoping for a more settled 2021.
Great to see you filming again. I started binge watching your videos in the summer while working from home. Thanks for this, and if you're still working in the medical field, thank you and stay safe.
Thank you so much for this video I thought you had gone for good so great to see you out and about. I hope you and all the family are doing well during this last year Dean 👍
Hi Grant, great to hear from you. 2020 was a tough year, my life has changed in a big way. Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for video uploads, I've been out a lot without the camera but plan to take it with me again once lockdown is over. Hope you're doing well mate. All the best, Dean
Wow super far out Dean. A fantastic walk to be taking us on after sometime away. I believe you had trail shoes on rather than the boots. The lighter leaner Dean? All the best. Mark
Nice video Dean. I note you mentioned Scottish standard midges at three shires. I did a cheeky stealth hammock camp in the woods near Luds Church at mid summer and the midges were absolutely ferrocious then. Had to resort to a headnet and even that didn't seem to stop them! Aside from midges it's a very nice area around there in summer.
Great to see you out Dean, hoping to get down to this neck of the woods in the next couple of weeks, if we're allowed out of the house here in Manchester.
So good to see you back! You inspired me years ago to get out more, and now I've started filming a little too. Great to see you fit and well! Looking forward to few more vids. MADS76
Brilliant video Dean, so good to have you back. I've done some of that walk but had no idea the three shire head place was there. I'll have to look it up next time.
Peaks is my most favourite place in the hole of the UK 👌 me and my partner are wanting to do a weekend away. I took him Solomon's temple & pools caverns. Buxton is beautiful ❤️
Another great video Dean. Looks a great little circular. I've been debating on doing it myself, but from Gradbach. I want to revisit the roaches anyway because I missed Hen Cloud last time.
Nice surprise notification made this a perfect watch over breakfast. Great to see you back Dean and a great location for it. Your videos are an inspiration to many, myself included 👍
What a great start to my day. Always check for latest videos first thing. Delighted to find this new one today 👍 Great to see you back. Funnily enough, I was already planning this walk for my Peak District holiday in 2 weeks time 😀 (all depending on national lockdown rumours though 🤞)
Nice to see you back in action! We were coming to the UK this winter to do some hiking but have had to postpone until who knows when :( Looking forward to living vicariously through your videos in the meantime and adding to the ‘to do’ list.
Just found you and thoroughly enjoyed this. I was wondering what the terrain was like to get to the Roaches and Luds Church, found I would not be able to physically walk it but I have now seen it through your camera lens. Fabulous !
Great video, it really gives a flavour of the area, which is beautiful and your presentation to camera style is so engaging.. new to the channel and ... it's a subscribe from me!!
I'm planning on this hike on Saturday. Is it fairly easy to follow as it's my first solo hike, but I'll also be using the AllTrails app. Love the video also 😊
Professional as ever😂👍🏻... great walk, I’m definitely pencilling that one in....keep em coming mate , the peaks only get the justice they deserve when your doing your stuff Dean👌🏻
So glad to see you back Dean Read!! It's been too long. This is a great route, we've not done three shires from luds so will definitely give this a go. Giving that car park a miss though , Sam will have a heart attack at that price. 😬😆
Lovely to see you back ginger and looking well. May I ask you about your boots - what are they? Clearly they are fully waterproof given the way you were washing them early on in the video. I would love to know what they are. Cheers and welcome back.
Another great video Dan, I was on “The Roaches” last year, started up the steps past the cabin and had no choice but to carry on, didn’t realise how steep they are and with my mobility problems is was safer to struggle upwards than try and go back down, didn’t help the fact I had my Photo backpack on too. Have you ever stayed in that or similar cabins? P.S. they had the banner there last year but idiots will still have bbqs and leave glass bottles around.
What is the place meeting three 'shires' with the mini waterfall is called please? We went to Lud's church about a month ago and wasn't aware of this spot. It looks amazing. Great video.. Thanks
Also what's that valley called where they created it to look like G.B? I cannot for 6hr life of me remember the name of it. Your practically sitting in the clouds after some rambling x
Thanks for watching Roger. I was wearing my Inov-8 Trailtalon 235 trail shoes, they aren't waterproof but they dry quickly. I do have some Mammut MT Trail GTX leather walking boots though, I'd highly recommend those 👍
Hi Dean it’s nice to see a new video in the Glorious Peak District again mate like you I love this National Park And I’ve walked all around the Peak over the last 30 or so years and thanks to your videos I’m rediscovering Walks And new areas I haven’t been to yet one of the places I’ve recently been to is Peter Stone I’d never heard of it till I’d seen your videos. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us Walkers atb Cheers Glenn 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
my nick of the woods dean ,lovely round there ,its pronounced grad batch if that makes sense ,ps watch the car park at gradbach last time we parked there somebody bumped the wifes car and drove off got back to motor with bumped wing lol
Browsing for The Roaches - first spectacular trip there yesterday - I found your great channel. I’m addicted it’s so useful and enjoyable for someone like me who has returned to walking during lockdown. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, I’d say the walk is definitely suitable for your Golden Retriever. There may be a few stiles that he’d need to jump if you can’t lift him over.
Glad to see you back, Dean. I bet it felt a little strange talking to camera again after quite a long hiatus. Quick question - would you recommend the Salomon bottle holders for your rucksack?
Great video Dean ,very informative , was there beginning of the month (Nov) Cat and Fiddle to three shires and back , passed one person
It’s a stunning place isn’t it, I must venture back out that way again soon. Thanks for watching.
Heading up here at the weekend, will be my first time in the Peak District. Looks amazing, thanks for sharing 😎
Thanks for watching, I hope you have a great time in the Peaks 👍
Thanks for all your videos. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks for watching, all the best for 2021 to you too. Dean
Another gem Dean ..... many thanks from Newquay.
Thanks for watching Paul
@@DeanRead Superb channel. Many thanks. My pleasure.
Oh no wet shoes and do cold.... Enjoy this your adventure Amazing!.. I wish I am one of your group someday for hiking.... Like your adventure so much wiw!!!
I bet you see quite alot of liberty caps up there in them fields. Peak district amazing.
Very seen so many people at three shires
It can get really busy there at the weekend, it's such a beautiful place though so I'm not surprised. Thanks for watching Paul

@@DeanReadit is indeed
Keep them coming mate. Love you videos.
Thanks for watching Ryan
Great video Dean, welcome back. I finally made it up the Roaches yesterday, beautiful Autumn day, lots of walkers. Excellent walk. and Luds Church very impressive.
I'm originally from nearby Leek, but not been home home for ages because of C-19 etc. So nice to see all the places I used to get out-to!
Thank the lord that your back Dean hope you and your family are well mate I think everyone has missed your vids we all love them to bit and I have missed you and your fab video's like I said thank you your back xxx

Thanks for sharing the map on viewranger!
No problems at all, enjoy the route 👍
Done this walk twice now and wild camped on both occasions - it’s a stunning part of the Peak District.
Merry Christmas Dean! Wishing you essential, socially-distanced, unprecedented, happy and healthy holidays. And a much better 2021! Cheers!
Thanks Joey, all the best to you too and I hope you're having a great Xmas. 2020 has certainly been a rollercoaster ride for many reasons, here's hoping for a more settled 2021.
Class video Dean, buzzing to see you back!
The great guy has returned loved the video walked this a while back brought back many great memories cheers pal 😊
Don’t think it’s any coincidence I’ve not been for many Peak District walks since your hiatus, welcome back Dean. Nice one
Great to see you filming again. I started binge watching your videos in the summer while working from home. Thanks for this, and if you're still working in the medical field, thank you and stay safe.
Thanks, Dean. It's always a pleasure watching your films. Cheers! 👍🙂🍻
Reminded me of Gandalf then at the start as you said "to the east"
Great to see you out once more! Oh to have muddy boots again. Stay safe ATB Andy

Yes great see you back on it even though you haven't really been off it
Nice to see you back Dean, going to save this video to watch with a cuppa tea later. Thank you 😊
Walked the other three shire heads video you uploaded, which was brill so may as well do this one now thanks for the upload 👍.
Really dramatic area I really fancy a visit to that Luds church
Great to see you out Dean, hoping to get down to this neck of the woods in the next couple of weeks, if we're allowed out of the house here in Manchester.

Love this, can’t wait to explore this area next time I’m in the Peak District 😃
Good to see you back Dean. I believe the 'fire' was in August 2018. Keep the videos coming!
Peaks is my most favourite place in the hole of the UK 👌 me and my partner are wanting to do a weekend away. I took him Solomon's temple & pools caverns. Buxton is beautiful ❤️
Nice to see you back out.
Funny I’ve been talking to my mate about doing a walk at the Roaches. Going to use your route as it looks brilliant. Thank you for sharing 👍
Ah this looks like a cracking channel. I'd never heard of Luds Church it looks spectacular, added to my google favourites
great to have you back!
Enjoyed that Dean...gonna try the same walk if I can..live in staffordshire moorlands so not too far...keep em coming
Great video, as always Dean. The Roaches are a classic spot.
Another great video Dean. Looks a great little circular. I've been debating on doing it myself, but from Gradbach. I want to revisit the roaches anyway because I missed Hen Cloud last time.
Nice surprise notification made this a perfect watch over breakfast. Great to see you back Dean and a great location for it. Your videos are an inspiration to many, myself included 👍

Nice one mate. Missed your vids. You're one of the few youtubers that got me into wild camping.
Great video, it really gives a flavour of the area, which is beautiful and your presentation to camera style is so engaging.. new to the channel and ... it's a subscribe from me!!

I’m going camping for 5 nights with my partner on the 9th november. Gotta go here. We went Peak District in August and we can’t stay away
So glad to see you back Dean Read!! It's been too long. This is a great route, we've not done three shires from luds so will definitely give this a go. Giving that car park a miss though , Sam will have a heart attack at that price. 😬😆
Excellent video as always Dean.
Awesome video mate, thanks very much.
Thank you.Great job.
Great video as always Dean. Stay safe. Pj
i like to avoid the crowds yet wherever i go into the countryside, there they are :/ hope i find somewhere relatively easy yet remotely isolated! 😁
Excellent video
Yea deano
Thanks for watching
Classic walk...
£10 a car!! Strewth! 😁 Awesome stuff as always Deano, glad your getting back to the videos dude! See you soon mate

Yay, bring out the hob nobs! Do feet stay dry when you washed them in the puddle?
Also what's that valley called where they created it to look like G.B? I cannot for 6hr life of me remember the name of it. Your practically sitting in the clouds after some rambling x
Great Comeback
Back I felt very claustrophobic with the amount of folk and constant cackling, that was audible.
Hated it.
Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing
Love the vid
Thanks for watching Big Dave 👍
Hi could you please share the gpx file of this path? Many thanks
What boots was you wearing ? washed at 3 shires must be waterproof ( looking for a new pair) Great vid .thanks keep them coming.

No way, the first part of the video there was a hill with houses on.
I stayed in one of them houses and recognise every bit of that village.
My friend obi wan kenobi is on tattooine not the Peak District
Love walking, walked all over Derbyshire but there’s got to be a pint 🍺 in it 😂
The Ship at Wincle or the brewery shop nearby👍🏼
Browsing for The Roaches - first spectacular trip there yesterday - I found your great channel. I’m addicted it’s so useful and enjoyable for someone like me who has returned to walking during lockdown. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Christine, hope the channel helps with inspiration for more great walks in the Peaks. All the best, Dean
Hi, we are visiting the peak district soon. I have a golden retriever so he can’t be carried. Do you think these walks are doable with him?
Thanks for watching, I’d say the walk is definitely suitable for your Golden Retriever. There may be a few stiles that he’d need to jump if you can’t lift him over.
Looked like a great day out buddy 👍 £10!!!!!! Ridiculous LOL
Glad to see you back, Dean. I bet it felt a little strange talking to camera again after quite a long hiatus. Quick question - would you recommend the Salomon bottle holders for your rucksack?
January 2021 anymore new videos on the horizon 💁🏿♂️ .Be safe .
Hi Gazza, thanks for watching. I hope to be back out again soon with the camera. 2020 was a tough year in my personal life.
@@DeanRead ok Dean look forward to it .Hope things get better. Stay safe.
Thanks Gaz, all the best
