Lovely video, Alex. Thanks. Worth mentioning the wonderful walking trails the UK has. Here in my native Texas one cannot criss cross the country side, passing through pastures and fields without the real risk of being confronted with a gun toting land owner.

@commonsense3333 Жыл бұрын

As it should be. You can crisscross all you want, just do it on public property. In Texas, you should be more worried about illegal immigrants than gun-toting landowners.

@mason0914 Жыл бұрын

@@commonsense3333 I would be more worried about gun-toting landowners, not illegal immigrants.... just because someone is an illegal immigrant doesn't mean they're a danger to you. Gun-toting literally makes reference to someone intending to use a gun in an illegal or criminal manner, which is much more dangerous than an illegal immigrant lol

A illegal immigrant isn’t deadly by definition A gun on the other hand 🤷‍♀️ And seeing my hope for mankind ain’t that high I don’t think most people Should actually own one They lack the intelligence to make an actual wel thought through choice on the life of another

It's close to midnight in my part of the world.. But I just couldn't resist viewing just one last video of yours. And so happy that I did. There's nothing better than discovering a place on foot. You observe so many things which otherwise you would miss, were you to speed by in a car. I would say, walking is exhilarating and what a beautiful countryside you took us to. Thank you and Good night.

Definitely a hare with that gait! Great video mate. The white thing is a trig point or trigonometrical point. They usually have depressions in the top to put a theodolite (equipment used to measure angles). Thanks to these ordnance survey were able accurately map the UK. Now generally obsolete for surveying purposes due to modern technology then have become markers for walkers.

Great video and very different from "Carl and Alex". I went walking with Nottingham YHA local group in the early 1980's on The Roaches, at the time there was a wild colony of Wallaby's but we never saw any. That was a brown Hare you saw, look for the black ear tips if in doubt. Some great mountain biking in the Peak District as an alternative to walking. Look forward to future uploads

If you drive past on the road adjacent part of the rock formation looks like a mans face complete with an eye that actually appears to wink at you as you pass. Quit near there is a pool called mermaids pool. Legend has it a mermaid baths on the bank at midnight on Easter eve! Legend also has it that the pool is so deep it joins up with the Atlantic ocean, which is possibly even more far fetched then the mermaid as the Roaches is in Midlands!!
