Exploring Thurgoland Disused Railway Tunnels 

I love watching Pat and his explores or camping vids.The main difference between Pat and T.V. presenters is passion.Pat has a passion and enjoys whats he does.That's why I prefer Pat's channel then any T.V. channel.

As always Patrick an interesting and informative video from you with excellent photography, thank you.

Brilliant video again! Your channel is better than paying for a BBC license who it transpires think the working class are Amazonian cannibals :-) Cheers Pat.

Thank you Pat, another great video. Love your photographs too, amazing.

Cheers Pat! Enjoyed that. The video has a really nice cinematic look to it, great exposure and lovely colour balance, I'm jealous! Great video, love the history and York Railway Museum, and a pint of Tetley's. All the best!!

Great video Patrick! The light painting is the greatest.

I just stumbled upon this channel but I'm so glad I did, subscribed!

Another interesting video Pat. Look forward to your next video. 👍

ABSOULOUTLY fantastic video yet again Sir Pat. Without your videos we would never see such great history. I always look forward to your videos as they are the best on RU-vid. Hope you enjoyed the beer. Thanks and be careful out there.

Excellent video. Very informative and well produced. Great job.

Excellent video as always pat keep up the good work mate👍

You once again take us into a place most would not so much as know of. Thank so much for giving us a tour. Nothing like this exists where I live. As such these videos are all the more enjoyable. Fabulously done.

What a fantastic video. Thanks for putting this up 😀👍

Hi Patrick, another great video. Very interesting.

Pat, a very good one once again. The stills are very good.

Great video as usual Pat. That echo was awesome . Cheers Johnny :)

Thanks for sharing this with us. Impressive!

Great channel bud:) love these sorts of things, cheers!

Great video again Pat some good information given by you,I do like old railway tunnels I cycled the Monsal Trail yesterday.

Evening viewing sorted for tonight. Thanks Pat, keep up the good work :-)

Excellent stuff Patrick, another cracking vid from you, thank you ATB :)

Thank you Pat for another splendind video. You really go the whole nine yards to make your videos interesting giving us the history and facts.

Thankyou for a very interesting video Pat.

Always nice to see bit of railway history, great footage & lighting effects, considering that you are doing it by yourself.

Well Patrick, good to see you doing the underground stuff, including 36DD; despite the...um.... challenges of dealing with certain aspects of security staff at Stocksbridge Liberty Steels. Just spent a lunchtime having another look at the Thurgoland video, and I'm reminded of the old tunnel at Spinkhill, sadly, time did not permit me to venture further on that one since I was also engaged on some allotment work at Stephen Hill, Sheffield......family needs beckoned, but Spinkhill is on the list, probably cycle through that one and try and improve on my filming technique.......practice does eventually make near perfect I hope, anyway, it has obviously worked for you as it will eventually work for me. My wife Sue and I both agree one of the highlights of this year was actually being able to meet and chat briefly with you at Redmires, you are indeed an unforgettable character, so inspiring.

Another amazing and interesting video thank you very much Pat 🍺 cheers

Pat all your videos are great mate keep it up ..!

Nice video Pat. My mate Noel Adams will enjoy this video very much. He is a train enthusiast. The tour of the tunnels was very interesting but somehow I think I would have enjoyed a few pints in the local pubs too:) Sandy

What a bleedin fantastic video, Pat. Ruddy brilliant mate. :)

Great video as always Pat I've cycled through the 'new tunnel' and it gave me the creeps.

Nice video...the reverb is incredible in there!

Fantastic video and very well put together, well done

Thanks Pat, I went here yesterday. Not in the disused tunnel, but enjoyed a walk through and along the trail. All because I watched this video 👍🏻

Great video Pat keep up the good work.

Another excellent video!

Great vid as usual Pat we should have you on TV with you're own series you make history interesting just like Fred Dibnah did

Another fantastic presentation.

Another very interesting and informative video Pat, well done. The quality is very good but so is your enthusiasm for industrial history. Look forward to a lot more. Thanks.

Another amazing video, thank you for sharing sir.

First class as usual Patrick, you get better and better, and far braver than I could hope to be, thank you.

Not sure how or why your video popped up in my feed, but wow, you are amazing! Going meticulously though your library & watching each video all the way through! Informative, exhilarating, adventurous, suspenseful & just plain awesome! You rock, definitely one of the best channels on RU-vid! Thanks so much for sharing, awesome awesome content!

Thanks for doing these Patrick. I hoped you’d get around to it.

There's something very reassuring about knowing your day out ended in the pub : ) There's nowt butter than discussing a day's adventures over a few pints. Nice one Pat, can't wait for you next adventure.

Another video we’ll done can’t get enough of them, so informative.

always brilliant to see your topics pat..great work..very interesting indeed..keep up the good work

Beautiful and amazing video and photography ! Bravo for your hard work and thanks for sharing this part of history! Hope one day to visit England!

Thanks for documenting and sharing this, especially the closed tunnel. I have often wondered what is in there. We often cycle through the Trans-Pennine tunnel after hiring bikes from Penistone. As a boy a grew up in Deepcar and often played near the Woodhead line in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I remember those Class 76 electric trains that you showed at the end (painted in BR Blue and Yellow at the time) hauling freight through Deepcar Railway Station. Me and my mates used to stand on the footbridge and drop mudbombs on them as they went past! The line is still open between the old Sheffield Victoria Station and Deepcar for the steelworks access at Stocksbridge.

great video pat.. love the light paintings.. they show so much detail up.. you should have your own tv show.. I've been to YRM a few times and always enjoyed myself.. brilliant place..

They built these tunnels so well like most everything back then... Very interesting Pat... Brilliant video Pat you certainly cracked it there too...

Thanks Patrick. Another great video. Hope you enjoyed the beers as well.

Great video Patrick love your videos

Love these videos Pat👍🙂🚴‍♂️

cracking video. been through the tunnel a few year ago with my daughter on her bike, might have to revisit and take the grandson through on his bike now.

Nice video, very interesting as always. I'm pleased to say that I've had some experience of a few pubs in York.

Great video Pat. I agree the Photos compliment the video very well.

Thanks for this Pat - amazing the history that's all around us, that we don't realise is there... anyway awesome stuff, looking forward to the next video :-)

Great film again. Interesting as usual due to your knowledge.

Amazing stuff, Patrick, backed up with research and the actual walking through the system. 💛 There is an interesting looking tunnel in the Royal Forest of Dean, near Cinderford.
