Thanks for this. Brought back memories. I’m a Londoner born and bred, and many years ago I nearly settled in Littleborough, but the boyfriend and I split up. It’s a great part of the world, and going over the border to the tops of West Yorkshire, the Calder valley, and also up to Cumbria are all beautiful places to find a bit of sanity. I’m 65 now and disabled, but my dog and I - now sadly gone - had some great times. One woman and her dog. To this day, my hiking boots are still, and probably always will be, the shoes that most feel like ‘me’!

Had a walk up there today for the first time. Really enjoyed it and great video.

great stuff Chris & love haw you know the area so well with the history & everything that goes with it.been casting my eye over that area for quite a while now as it seems to me it may be a bit quieter at the minute than the popular parts of the peak district.looks a great spot you had there it has that remote look to it despite the m62 noise lol..my heart was in my mouth when you dropped that neolithic blade, what a nice piece that is i'd love to find something like that.holding that id be thinking back to who actually made it & what they used it for it truly fascinates me that type of thing brilliant.tfs mate.Andy.

Hi Chris, I did the Blackstone Edge wild camp yesterday. I camped at the first spot you were considering, just randomly came across it.The weather was dry, but it did get cold during the night. I am thinking off doing your wild camps around this area. Close to me as I am from Manchester. I enjoy your style of vide making, keep it up!

I've done Blackstone Edge a few times, I catch the train to Marsden and walk up to Hebden Bridge and catch the train home, very interesting place, you probably know more than me about the place but find interesting they had big Chartists meetings up there so the Yorkshire and Lancashire groups could meet. Important place for us working class oiks 🙂 thanks for sharing. Cheers

Keeping it local on this weekends as well Chris. Thanks for the vid I will have a change from Rivington/Ramsbottom part of the West Pennines I tend to frequent.So some nice points of interest to look out for.

I really enjoyed that Chris, lots of points of interest and your flint find is pretty good eh. I have only been through there on the Pennine Way and I will recall briefly if you dont mind when 6 of us spent the night camped in the car park of the Whitehouse Pub. It was about minus 10c and our boots were completely frozen in the morning. We had a great night in the pub, there was just us and we got pretty drunk and desperately tried to talk the Landlady into letting us sleep on the floor overnight but she would have none of it locked us out in the cold. Thanks for the great vid and nice to see how well you know that area. Cheers 🍻

Beautiful nature and a great camp.Enjoyed this video a lot !!!

Great seeing so many familiar places we'v walked through. You mentioned Black Hill, which is another pending walk film waiting to be uploaded. Amazing initiative camping out in the wilds overnight. That must be an adventure to your walking pursuits. Much enjoyed hearing your commentaries including some geology which Michael is also keen on as a hobby. Well done on entertaining film.

If you want to do this kind of camping, invest in Buffalo systems clothing and sleeping bags ! It was walking from the White house pub to Stubley pike and back, that I found out how crap Sprayway gore tex jackets were ! Sold my gore tex jackets and trousers to a fisherman and bought Buffalo ! Still in use today ! Over twenty five years later !

Hi Chris, nice vlog. I'm very local to Blackstone Edge to. I couldn't believe it when you pinched my exact same spot on the west side ha ha ha. I've considered the East side a few times but always found a reason not to pitch there.

Subbed 👍🏻Thankful to find some one local to the area with a bit of experience! Great pitch you had there!

Great overnight Chris. I was going to ask can you hear the m62 where you camper? I always feel I can hear snake road when I go out 🤣. Be interested to see more flint and rocks if you have a collection. Be a good rainy day video to do from home. Thanks for sharing your experience. ATB-Phill

Wow you been going up there since you were 15 then Chris. I bet there aren't many pitches you don't know about. It's a fascinating area on the Pennines - I mean flint tools and who knows what else. I bet the motorway were less busier when you first went up. Mind you a mile in and the sound drifts away no doubt. Any way, good camp out otherwise. Not to severe on top. All the best. Mark

Cheers Chris! Goin' up there tomorrow for a wild 'un. Wind from the east, so I should be able to squeeze into the flat spot just below the trig on the west side! 👍🏽

lovin the videos mate,blessed with all this beauty come ruggedness of the moorland,thums up from me mate.ken.

great vid thanks. only been there once with my dad. time to try and take my son there and not get lost in the process .. never considered a wild camp before though but its a great idea..

More magical scenes. I wonder why the 'roman road' is so much more overgrown now? I mean things would still have grown amidst the pollution.

Have you had trouble with your pegs pulling out with the wind? Or maybe the ground is more firm than it looks; looks boggy and loose. I got a chill just watching this video and had to put on a puffy jacket!

Great effort boss ...guide me i m in manchester which bus i need to take and where to leave and where to start ..hiking i m zero with maps...

Everyone, turn the F ing TV off and go for a walk !
