Join me on a 5 mile circular hike from the village of Bamford to Bamford Edge & then on to Ladybower Reservoir before returning via the Thornhill Trail to Bamford. This is a brilliant fairly short & easy option for anyone looking to do a half-day walk in the Peak District. As always, I hope you enjoy this video and thank you so much for watching!

I did this for the first time today. I wouldn't call it easy, but I am slightly disabled and it's the first walk like this I've ever done. So I'm proud of myself for doing it! Also the views are incredible! 😊

@shefreelyroams Год назад

Aw nice, really well done - hope you enjoyed it & that the views were worth the ascent to the ridge 🙌🏻😊

Mate if you are proud of yourself, we are also proud of you ❤️❤️❤️

It really is a beautiful place in the Peaks & as you say, plenty of nice walks around in that area 😊

@@shefreelyroams Hi Christine. Im just revisiting your walk due to the fact me and my son have just had a couple of days staying in Edale with my brother. We walked from his cottage in Edale to Ladybower Reservoir. Very breezy and lots of ups and downs with a steep descent to the reservoir itself. We didnt get as far as the dam but it was a stunning area albeit very muddy after all the rain. We saw Bamford edge in the distance what a viewing point that is! We also went up Mam Tor from Castleton the day after before heading home. What a gorgeous little place that is. So many walks and so much beauty 😍

@geroldsss Год назад

Dear Christine, A very nice hike, thanks for sharing the video 🤗 You had chosen the most beautiful point for your break. A great view and a great nature. During the ascent and descent I noticed the fern, it seemed to me to be a lot of fern 😊 The purple flower that you filmed is called "red thimble" with us, this wild flower is known in pharmacy. The spare wheel is beautiful and I have already written to you for my preference for wild swimming. I can imagine that it is forbidden there 🚫 Thanks for the video Christine and have a nice weekend ☀ Kind regards Gerold

@shefreelyroams Год назад

Thanks Gerold - happy to hear you enjoyed this video too 😊💛 & yes very varied walk to enjoy! The purple flower is known here as Foxgloves - beautiful contrast to the ferns. And yes you’re right, swimming in reservoirs in the UK is illegal, no matter how tempting they can appear at times! Hope you had a nice weekend too Gerold 🙌🏻✨

@shefreelyroams 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Andrew, really nice to hear you enjoyed this one too - as you say, the Peaks are an incredible place, love the Edale valley! Yet to do Mam Tor but hopefully next time 🤞🏻 Thank you - love Cornwall/Devon too, so many beautiful beaches & coastline your way 😍 & will do!

@hikermikem8 Год назад

😁 Nice video Christine and one of my fave spots for sunrise and sunset watching. Usually very busy up on the edge, but looked like you had it virtually all to yourself 👍 Agreed on the first section from Bamford, definatley gives the legs a workout 🤣😁 Have a great weekend ..

@shefreelyroams Год назад

Thanks Mike - it’s a beautiful walk for sure, definitely want to go back there for sunset next time I’m up that way 👍🏻 yes pretty quiet midweek for me, passed a few walking groups though! Absolute killer that section, no need for a warm up 🤣😅 Cheers, hope you had a good one too ☺️

That steep lane out of Bamford is a proper thigh burner going up and a knee rattler going down.

Tell me about it! Really good to get that out of the way at the start of the walk - wasn’t expecting it to be as bad as it was! No need for a warm up…

Thanks Peter & I can appreciate that, unfortunately I really enjoy creating videos with music to accompany the hike 🙃 but can appreciate it isn’t going to be for everyone! & not sure I understand what you mean on the transposed…?

@peterholmes3011 Год назад

@@shefreelyroams The part showing your rucksack is a mirror image as the Osprey wording is yerpsO. The landscape is also a mirror image , just a bit disconcerting when you recognize it. The first time I have noticed it on your videos , others do it a lot more. Love your smile.

@shefreelyroams Год назад

Ahh yes I see what you mean now - it’s when I shoot in selfie mode it mirrors the clip. Will try and edit this out in future videos, thanks for flagging 🙌🏻 & thank you, hope you’re enjoying the videos 😊💛
