Been there few times, love hiking around there. The rock formations are spectacular!
Great job with Your cracking video, of a Beautiful place at anytime of year,and great Wildlife Year round, if you watch out in Winter time especially,you might see Mountain Hares in their White Winter Coats,on the tops.Regards and Thanks 👍👍
That was an epic walk Alex! Loving the waterfall and Greenfield Brook on the way up. Stunning weather too. Well done for scaling the trinnacle and getting the iconic picture! I don’t blame you for not taking the leap 😬😬 Dovestone Rocks looks amazing with those views. Such a stunning area, this is on my list for this year!!! Great video and I love the music choice too. All in all, just awesome 💯
Thank you Greg!!! It’s a fantastic little route, I’ll definitely be returning this year, kind of fell in love with the place! I’m determined to make the leap one day 😆 you’ll definitely have to get up there next time you’re in the Peaks! Thank you for the kind words and support as always Greg!! Really appreciate it! 😁👍
More peaks! I'm excited to explore, I wanted to go blue lagoon because of you
I Went for the first time on last saturday but never managed to find the trinnacle rocks😢 Deffo gonna have to go back! 🤩
Excellent video, nice work. I started running in the north west part of the peaks so I'm looking for routes - just found you and subscribed. Love the channel, keep going!
This is great thank you ☺️
Hello Alex Cripps! Thank you for showing me a nice video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!
Thank you very much! Have a great day yourself 😁
Two that I need to tick off, thanks for sharing really loved it Alex. Great as always.
Cheers Chris! 👍😁
@alexcripps.outdoors I went up and cloudy so just ticked off Ashway Moss and followed the Ridge down to the Resevoir. Unfortunately not enough time for Alphin Pike. But I get to go back again. So bonus.
Thanks Alex love walking in the Dovestones area led a few walks for the Ramblers always popular.
Great video Alex thanks for taking the time to make and share it. I know that part od the dark peak quite well. As kids we used to catch the bus from north Manchester to Greenfield and then either go gritstone climbing on Laddow Rocks aka Indian Head, or walk up the service road to Chew Reservoir. On one occasion we walked across the moor and dropped down to nTintwhistle. We used to go summer and winter; in summer we would wild cap wild camp somewhere off the old pack-horse trail which is on the other side of the valley, and but in winter in we'd stick to the road then hunker down one the other side of the reservoir wall and make a fry-up on a methylated spirit stove. I've been back a couple of times in the last few years, but your video has definitely made me want to go back there this summer.
Glad the wind didn't come to anything, and well done on your world record attempt, saying resivour as many times as possible in a minute....we actually lost count bit are pretty sure you are now kind of the world for that title! It did look like a great walk, glad you dodged the storm, have a great week, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭
😂😂 I didn’t even realise I’d said it that much until you’ve said this! Three reservoirs got the better of me there 😆 thank you guys, really do appreciate your support and kind words as always! Hope you’ve had a great weekend 😁🙌☕️❤️
Well Alex another's great walk away from it all ,stunning views of the hills and around.Thanks for showing us around 👍💚.Have a great week Simon &Beth 💚
Thank you very much! 😁 it’s a stunning part of the Peaks! Recommend if you’ve never been. Hope you both have a great week also 😁👍
Another good walk and video Alex, thanks for sharing this with us👍
Ron
Thank you very much Ron! 😁👍
Awesome video!! Thanks for taking us there.. Looks Beautiful
Stay connected.
Thank you very much! 😁
I am about a 2 hour drive from the peaks your making want to jump in the car at the next available weekend. Really good editing, thanks subscribed.
Thank you so much Daniel, appreciate the kind words and hope you manage to get out here as soon as possible! Cheers! 👍😁
Thank you for sharing another great walk. What spectacular scenery, you were so lucky with the weather. Very brave to climb that rock, I am not a fan of heights either. Would love to visit that area.
Thank you very much! Got very lucky indeed, seems to have rained constantly since that day! It’s not as bad as it looks but yes the legs were shaking a little 😂 highly recommended visiting, beautiful part of the Peak District.
Wonderful video.
2 years on, unfortunately, the path up the waterfall and the descent on the way to the reservoir has become quite dangerous due to erosion.
Oldham Mountain Rescue are always rescuing from the waterfall as it gets more treacherous by the day
Beautiful looking hike so far Alex, loving the music choice too. What a banging day too...what we'd give for some if that right now hey! We are excited to see you tackle the Trinnacle too 😀
Thank you! I got very lucky with the weather! Very glad I got up early to get the best of it! The weather has been awful this week hasn’t it! Ready for spring/summer now 🌞🌻
this is an excellent hike, i like you very much enjoyed the different types of terrains on this hike.
Another great day in the hills. Thanks for sharing. Not a part of the Peak that I have explored.
Thank you Ivor! Highly recommend visiting, I was pleasantly surprised!
Some quality footage! I messed up my route big time going up the Birchen clough 😂 I agree with you on the jumping part of the Trinnacle!
Cheers! 😁
Gorgeous views!
Stunning walk thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you! 😁👍
Awesome video mate and loved the introduction at the start with the gorgeous scenery.
Haven't actually been to the Trinacle even after over 15 years of hiking lol so need to pay it a visit.
Really enjoyed this video mate very well put together 👏🏻 brilliant job.
Best not to jump across if you dont feel confident, plus you were on your own like you said and even more so looked a bit of a cold and frosty morning so you never know how slippy things can be.
Nice route that and congrats on the 42nd Peak District trig! Absolutely stunning views on this hike mate 😍
Cheers for sharing dude 🙏🏼😁
ATB... Chris
Thanks Chris!! If you’ve never been I highly recommend paying a visit! Definitely a few good spots for a wild camp also which would be right up your street mate 😁 Yes I think if someone was on the other side I’d give it a go haha but definitely did not fancy it especially on a cold day like you said! Really appreciate that Chris, hope you’re doing well mate! Have a great week, cheers! 😁👍
@@alexcripps.outdoors Oh really??!? 🏕👀
I shall definitely have an explore round there then haha nice one! 👍🏻
Hope you have enjoyed your weekend 😊
Outstanding views man, you captured some truly fantastic shots. Love it.
Thank you so much! 😁👍
Aaaawh, spring is on the way
I hope so! You wouldn’t think it with the weather we’ve had this past week 😂
@@alexcripps.outdoors oh yeah we got snow storm too just this week but hope dies last :))
Great video Alex and a trig I still need to get! I didn’t realise that’s where it was, I’ve actually been up that way one of the first times I was in the Peaks. I scrambled up Indian Head so must’ve been close! Ahh well I’ll get back to it again I’m sure! Great angles and story telling as per 🤝🤝
Thank you Shaun!!🙌 It’s a little out of the way but with views like that it’s hard to say no to a few extra miles to bag the trig! Nice!! Need to give that scramble a go this year 👌 Cheers Shaun, keep up the quality videos mate and see you soon 🙌🙌🤝🤝
1st ❤👍☕
🎉🎉🙌🙌
Wow it certainly looks super pretty around there! Definitely on the list of places to visit. Can't blame you for not doing the jump, I felt a bit sick just watching you climb up it 😱. And it certainly was a windy walk the day before wasn't it 😂.
Highly recommend going Jess! You’d love it! 😂 it’s not as bad as it looks honestly! Windiest walk I think I’ve ever been on!
Hi Alex, happy new year!! I have just searched Trinnacle and watched your nice walk video! would you have more details of this12 miles route? I am planning to get there alone soon....may be this weekend.
nice...probably the best area in the whole of the peak..
Totally agree, loved it up there!
Wow! What an incredible hike! Did you make up your own route or did you source it from elsewhere? Thanks.
Thank you! I just used the classic popular trinnacle route and added on that extra leg to the trig! Usually make all my routes up on the OS Maps website or use Peak District Walks website, they have some
brilliant routes on there! Thank you 😊
That was excellent, thank you. Really keen to do this walk after watching your video. How long did it take you to complete the route ? I don't have a car but Greenfield railway station doesn't look too far away.
Thank you very much! I can’t quite remember how long but I’d give yourself a good few hours, you can also shorten the route and still see the stones 👍
Great vid Alex, ive done the Trinnacle many times, great views, out of interest whats the Rab jacket you're wearing? I have the Rab Kinetic Alpine 2.0 at the moment but always looking for new kit
So many lovely reservoirs! Why is our water bill so expensive? 🤣
😂 that is a very very good question! 😂
@@alexcripps.outdoors might have to lay some pipe in.. 🤣
😂 with the rain we’ve had this past week, our water bills should be free for the next 5 years!
@@alexcripps.outdoors exactly! That should be a thing.. 👍🌧
Ahh this is great man!! How did you find the Trinnacle?? I was holding my breath when I went up there ! Was windy too, love mountains! But same as you, not great with heights ahaha!!
Love the music in this as well, the slightly electronic vibe is awesome!
Thanks Liam!! I wasn pleasantly surprised by it, thought it would be A LOT scarier! Think it would’ve been a little different if it was windy 😂 Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words! 👍😁
pretty cool how long was the walk in total?
With you there Alex, the jump wouldn't be for me either, fair play on climbing up, is it as precarious as it looks or a bit gentler in person? 🤔🧐❤👍☕
Yes it wasn’t for me! I’d do it if a trust worthy friend was on the other stack waiting to grab me 😂 definitely not as precarious as it looks! I am really not a fan of heights and found it relatively pleasant to get up it 😁
Hi,
Would you say this would be a safe route or general area to take a 11 year old Jack Russel? I took her with me to Alport castles a couple of Sundays ago and I took a fall with her in tow, so I am trying to be a bit more precautionary with my hikes.
Also do you have an Alltrails route you used? Thanks 😊
