    With this miserable, gloomy weather we are experiencing, it's nice to see those summery scenes Shanita. I've never seen a 'tithe stone' before either. There is a lovely old property at the Broad Lane end of Lower Lane called Tithe Barn. 🙂

      Hi Chris. Yes our walks are behind but seasons change so quickly before uploads.
      We really saw quite a few things and the Tithe stone was one. I think I saw the Tithe barn you mentioned. Hope keeping well.

    That was fantastic..Hartshead pike looked great, somewhere i have never been...the Tithe stone was interesting...funny how the quiet lane turned out to be the noisiest part of the walk..thanks for the video, really enjoyed it.

      Hi Steve. Had a chuckle about the quiet lane being the noisiest part of walk. Same humour as me. 😄Thanks for that and glad you enjoyed. All best to you both.

      It was one of those walks we really enjoyed. Unexpected places and views around Tameside. Thanks for watching and your comments.

    The Pike was built in 1863 to commemorate the marriage of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. It's not difficult to find, I used to ride up there aged 10 on my bike from Mossley Road. That would be in 1955 when there was another Queen Regnant on the throne and the Prince of Wales became such in 1956 and invested in 1969.

    So many picturesque places and so close to home. Some more interesting snippets from Michael, like the Tithe stone. The nicest Tithe barn I have seen is Rivington Hall Barn. We have been walking around Piethorne Valley, from one of your videos a few years ago, lovely walks with interesting history.

      Thats great to read about you following a Piethorn route Steve. It's good to know our routes are helpful to walkers. Michael is so on tap with historical info too. We really enjoyed Hartshead .

    I couldn't wait to watch this once I received the notification of your new upload! 😁 I've visited these places myself, think I did the same route as you did from Park Bridge via Rocher Vale to Hartshead Pike. Loved that shot you took Michael through the stile with the pike seen in the distance between the posts. I laughed loudly when you asked Michael if he was enjoying it whilst that tractor came by on the quiet lane 😂 Enjoyed "Atmospheric", nice synth with piano solos. Thanks Shanita, all the best 👍

      Hi Patrick. Lovely comments to read. It's interesting how certain areas appeal more than other places. The fact we got lost a few times meant we actually did a more scenic longer route than otherwise. But you mentioned doing the same route without getting lost. 🤭👍Yes. I was being sarcastic about a quiet lane when a noisy tractor roared passed. All the best.

      @@CountrysideWalking I just had to re-check - I did this in early 2017, but the route from Rocher Vale to the pike was to follow the Tameside Trail waymarks. I don't recall it being hard to follow, but that was over 7 years ago now so the path and waymarks may have deteriorated since then judging by the one post you found on its side in the mud 👍

      There are so plenty of castles around to visit, but Hartshead Pike is set in a beautiful area.
