Nicely put together video 👌it's a shame that something that looks so appealing can be harmful. There is a lot of problems with people visiting here for a swim every year 🤦
@ThomTopics being a local I guess you now the size of the problem. I literally saw 1 person walking a dog and thats it but I bet in summer it gets busy. I had such a nightmare filming this, wind issues with the drone, mic not working at times, falling down the hill 😅 i was fed up by the end so im glad I was able to edit it into something worth watching. Cheers.
@@brewswithviews one of those kind of days was it. Ceraintly dont want to risk loosing the drone over water due to the wind. Some years it is worse than others up there. As you saw it's generally fairly quiet if you are not there on a sunny day.
During the opening I thought I was watching the nightly news. Very polished! 👍 Mic issues while making your coffee? Only asking because the same thing happened to me the other day.
Interesting video, i am surprised they haven't constructed a high security fence around it. Id have thought that would be a simple but largely effective solution. I Recently went to your Secret Waterfall location in Foolow, took some family who live local to it and they never knew it was there! It was pretty spectacular and so easily missed. Thanks for that video!
@C4sp3r123 thats really good to know, glad you had a good time and you enjoyed it. The watetfall is great and thanks for the feedback. I think the same with the fence, considering how concerned they were about it and how they spend money dying it black. They could easily do more to discourage it.
That was very interesting but not exactly correct...without sounding as if I am pulling your vid to pieces I just want to clarify a few points if you excuse me and by the way it is my pleasure to subscribe as well...The first point is that Harpur Hill is spelt with a U and not an E...The next point is that The RAF ammunition dump was not here but around a quarter of a mile away and no chemical waste from them was put into the lagoon, the colour of the water is simply from the limestone...as to the other unsightly deposits you visited next you are right about water draining through the embankment and the embankment held the long gone Cromford to Whaley Bridge Railway which is now part of the safety in mines or HSE site...Ever since I can remember it has always looked that way...I am 66 now...The house or cottage that is in the hollow there is known as Brook Bottom and many years ago the blue lime water ran in front of the house and had stepping stones over it to allow access to the building...The stream was diverted and now runs underground...if you are wondering how I know this my family originated at Brook Bottom and my dad was born there...I have many photos of how the place looked dating back to the first World War...Like I said please don't feel offended by my comment...Cheers Les.🙂👍
Interesting and fair comment, thanks for taking the time. The RAF dump was something I read online but trust the word of a local more. What are the local thoughts on the turfa? This is obviously a bit of a problem.
@@brewswithviews Firstly let me thankyou for replying...You are correct with the RAF using part of Hoffman quarry to believe it or not burn chemical waste but the practice was short lived and the quarry was not closed down until 1952 and the Blue Lagoon was not flooded till after this...The main storage was under the vast tunnels which later after the forces removed apparently all munitions became the Mushroom factory and then Christian Salvesen as a huge warehouse which incidentally was where my wife worked when I met her 40 years ago...Two of my Aunties used to work in the Mushroom factory and I remember them telling me that those tunnels were haunted, sadly they have both died as well as my dad but their dad my grandad was a stone mason who helped build the original tunnels...I said earlier that all munitions were moved apparently but a friend of mine who was walking in the area was shocked when his son found a grenade and actually threw it at his dad...Bomb squad was called in and yes the grenade was live but luckily the detonator had corroded...this was about 30 years ago...The trouble is now that HSE has taken over the area which was known as Mines Research and is under very tight government security and High Peak Council does not have a say about the sludge coming from the Embankment only their feeble efforts to deter swimmers at Hoffman Quarry which will never deter visitors...sadly it is something we have to live with and probably another reason why Buxton was not allowed to be part of the Peak National Park...Cheers Les.🙂 👍
@lespickering5080 oh wow, a live grenade. That's crazy. Its amazing what could be found in these areas now I suppose. Thanks for commenting, appreciate the support.
@@brewswithviews You are so welcome...Your Channel is really good and I am slowly getting through your vids...My son and I used to have a channel called High Peak Cinematography which we sadly had to end cos of work and family commitments but all the vids we made that you have visited some of are on a playlist on my channel called Peak Memories...Now I have retired my project is to visit every Peak District Town and village but the catch is I am only allowed to use my bus pass instead of driving to the places...I only really talked on the HPC vids cos I hate the sound of my voice and my channel is all my own music and a few classical Music covers along with my fave subjects including the new project...Like I said your channel is amazing and I love it...Carry on with the great work...Cheers Les.🙂👍
Bro the quality of your vids is amazing, hope you blow up soon
Really appreciate that, thanks. Fingers crossed.

Yes, I had so many mic issues this day it was unbelievable. Not a great day filming.

I'm guessing there are no fish in there?🤣😂
@@SuburbanAdventures if so, they probably look like the three eyes fish on The Simpsons
