      Agree with you. Patrick's videos are excellent and I look forward to each one. Only Patrick Dickinson and one other youtuber who does camping videos are the ones I really look forward to. There are no others who are a patch on these two wonderful people who brighten my day with their videos.

    I got my RAF marksman certification at that firing range in 1979. I was with the Air training corps, 1082 squadron from Brimington , Chesterfield. I can still remember sitting on those benches in the target bay. We had to take turns in the target bay and paste over the holes with white squares of paper after each one was used. Then we hauled them back up above our heads again on a pulley so they could be shot at again. It was a real thrill listening and watching the bullets fly over our heads and into the target. I remember the sand enbankment clearly behind the targets. I live in Canada now but I remember it very well. We had an all day map and compass excercise on top of the moor above the range. I can still remember walking by the Totley tunnel vents on top of the Moor. It was pouring down rain up there and glad I had my rain gear. Thankyou so much for doing this video. It has brought back many memories.

      This is really great to hear, that you where actually there and how you operated the targets, to hear the bullet zipping just feet over your head and thudding into the embankment, just amazing.
      Alot of the barriers are still there but all the target mechanism has gone, and the whole site is slowly returning to nature, thank you for sharing your experiences........Pat

      I had the exact same experience only in the mid 90’s as an Army Cadet from Sheffield.
      The sound of those ricochet’s of the bullets passing over your head.
      In fact I must have been one of the last people to use the range. I remember when it closed in 1997.
      We still continued to camp up there after they closed the range for other exercises.

    Another interesting camp, Totley was very interesting, who would have thought Ritzy Totley would have a shooting range, I'm a long time fan, I first saw you deep in the Lady Bower Dam, I loved your tunnels especially the one near Killamarsh and Spinkhill as we lived there for a few years, Exploring the underground of Sheffield and Megatron was simply unreal, Love the Pub shed chats and your car camping and foreign trips, Everything you do is COOL and so interesting, It doesn't matter what you do, I will be watching in awe, Cheers Pal.

    Always find myself waiting in anticipation of your videos having watched most of your channel, Said before my initial interest was your disused railway tunnels and then enjoyed watching the underground drains, never thought I’d enjoy wild camping videos just because it wasn’t my thing however i genuinely enjoy them, given me the motivation to push myself to get out onto the moors myself living not far from Buxton. I’m planning on attempting the Marsden to Edale walk you filmed some time back looks a great adventure, Thanks the inspiration! Already looking forward to the next video.

    Good to see you back Patrick. I really enjoyed your little informative video on Totley firing range. My uncle considered himself to be a bit of a crack shot. He tells a story that in the early 1950's when he was home on leave from his army national service he took his standard issue army rifle up to the shooting club at the firing ranged & surprised a few of the members at what he could do. Hope to see you in the Itchy pig again one day 🍻

    • @patrickdickinson6492
      @patrickdickinson6492  7 місяців тому

    Good evening Pat, we have been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and thought it was about time we left you a comment. The first vid we watched of yours was your Old age pensioner wild camping on the edge of Kinder Scout, we are not wild campers or even campers, but have been inspired to maybe give it a go. We love the Peak District and have visited many times over the years we watched your videos to help our knowledge of the area and the lay of the land to help us with our own adventures when we visit. Your videos are just great and we often laugh out loud, you are the wild camping king 🤴 of You Tube! Our last trip to the area was in early April, we managed to find your famous spot and add an entry, after watching your videos and a few others I thought I had located it using an OS map and google maps and was thrilled when we found it. What an amazing spot! Thank you so much for all your videos we have thoroughly enjoyed them. It was also through you that we found Solo Sarah B she's great, and has the same enthusiasm for that place as I do. Look forward to watching your future wild camps 🏕 Sadie and Paul.

    • @patrickdickinson6492
      @patrickdickinson6492  7 місяців тому +1

      Hello to both of you and so nice to hear from you, remember my OAP video, I think part of that was to prove I could still climb up Kinder Scout and wild camping, must admit doesn't bear thinking about the day I cannot get up there.
      I think Sarah will do great with her channel she has a lovely of the great outdoors which shows on her videos...... all the best Pat

    Hi Pat, like all your followers I too am glad to see you well and back on with your great videos. Just in time too as only yesterday I was getting my gear packed ready for another cycle/ wild camp up to Scotland next week. Will look into the quilt thang for the future as any weight saving is always welcome.
    Don't think I could put that much curry away so close to bed time 😂.
    Take care always, Michael

      I had a bit of an explore of this shooting range during lockdown. I actually came across randomly whilst I was working nearby. I could tell it was a shooting range but no Idea it dated back pre ww1! I imagined more of a hobbyist/shooting club facility. Thanks for the vid Pat really interesting to me.
