That was a wonderful trip back in time Frank....thank you. I was surprised to see the current location of the Occleston Memorial. When I was a child, it was in the middle of the road at the junction of Manchester Road, Stockport Road and High Street (directly opposite the George and Dragon. In the mid-late 60's it was relocated about 100m east to the lawns at the entrance to Queens Gardens and I now see that it has again moved....is it on castors? Brooklyn Cresent Park was formely the School playing field for Cheadle Primary School (my first school) and it hosted the school football matches and sports days in the 60's. The Drill Hall was the venue for the youth club and their Friday night discos in the 70's. I'll stop before it gets boring!
Found this on youtuibe and decided to follow the walk today (Boxing day 2023) , it's a really good route round Stockport and we enjoyed it greatly , finishied off with a pint. Cheers Frank !
One of our favourite walks is from Hawarth Oxenhope over the moors to Hardcastle Crags onto.Hebden Bridge. A wonderful area. Thanks for taking us on this informative interesting walk.😊
Finally Googled this, I thought it was just my camera. I use it for when riding my motorcycle, mounted on a helmet, within a case....its a complete pain in the ass to have to pull over, take off my helmet, take it off the mount and out of the case...this thing freezes up constantly. Fucking constantly. I'm at my wits end with it. Did you ever figure any kind of fix?
I've done the Hooton to west kirkby and back quite a few times, i had no idea there was another 3 parts to this walk, my fave pic in the lady lever art gallery is called the scape goat. Thanks for your efforts doing these videos
The 'd' is silent in Childwall/Chilwall. Gatacre is pronounced Gatacker. Well done jogging all that way. In the past I rode my bike from Near Hartleys' Village, to Gateacre, got a flat half way and had to push my bike. I was knackered when I got home!
Is the former line under Walton Church roundabout accessible. I think the tunnel may be blocked off and the track bed overgrown. There's also another cycle way that runs close to the Fazakerley line. Great video BTW.
from Burscough to Wigan we drive along the A59 towards Preston, we drive along the A5029 towards Wigan, we drive along the A49 road towards Wigan, we arrived at Wigan in Greater Manchester.
I have the same issue from time to time. It’s not always random… for example, if I open the GoPro App, to check framing, quick capture will stop working, In addition, I have the settings adjusted to use the last mode used….well that doesn’t work if I record a time lapse. Once I end time-lapse using quick capture, it defaults back to last video mode instead of recording another time-lapse, WTH!? Lastly, I often use a helmet mount that places the camera upside down….it often doesn’t recognize the orientation and will record footage inverted. Obviously there is no way to tell until afterwards, because it’s mounted to my helmet and I’m unable to check the screen, nor should I have to. And I can’t open the app to check framing, nor should I have to, and if I do….the quick capture stops working!! I did not know about the SOFT REBOOT. Thanks for the pro-tip!
Great to see you document the Wirral like this. I think most people from there have given up on the place. Sad really because it's actually a nice place. Lot of history. I am from Birkenhead and have lived in Scotland for 31 years but I think it's time to come home to be with my family and grandchildren and daughter. I miss them so much. Thanks for the video Frank (My dad's name) :) Frank
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Jason Beau Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Thanks for posting this. Like Wainwright I prefer the route over Hey Edge and Tooleyshaw Moss to Black Hill to the present PW route. The old PW route from Black Hill down to the A635 was also a better walk than the present use of what was the 'Wessenden Alternative'
Very informative and enjoyable video. I did part part of that walk a couple of months ago, although I went over to Wetton. It’s a lovely part of the Peak District and a bit quieter than Dovedale.
Brilliant film , am actually sat here now planning to do the same route , not done it for a few years . At 9.43 the route across Ramsden Rocks to the far right Is` do able` In good weather ( winter Its muddy an slippy ) keep to the bottom edge of that light colour scree and hand rail the bright green ` plateau` right across the the bend in the hill and your safe . the ` Industrial ` site you found is an old rifle range the metal things are the frame spring loads to hold the targets so they can pop up and down not sure if they were Victorian Gentleman's or W.W.2 ?. At 11.13 in your film if you had taken the other path that is a really nice walk back through the old quarry a great place to bivi out for the night ,also on the footpath back near the top of Ramsden Clough thee is a ruined cottage - no roof but four wall a great place to shelter for sorting your kit or cooking a meal half way round the route , look forward to bumping in to you one day ! - great film ,Michael ( Huddersfield )
Brought back memories Frank, I got caught on that same Alport Vally Moor near the waterfall in a heavy storm too, there is a path, high up on the ridge of the other bank that runs along to 'Grains in the Water' by the way, slightly easier. Enjoyed the vid, at least it wasn't wind lol. Atb Bill.
