I had NO IDEA Lancashire was like this! 

You missed joes cup! Right behind the board you where reading off. Where the memorial stone for the runner. Is an honesty cup

Love your videos them multiple identical walls are grouse butts for The gamers doing the grouse pheasants shoots ect 👍

The feeling I get when walking over hills in a lonely landscape is that it feels like a sense of freedom and it's all yours to enjoy....love little Finn!

Allways lovely to see finnius maximus,

The ‘buildings’ on the track are grouse butts - places for people to hide during a grouse shoot so the birds don’t see them.

You should also do rivington pike as well, not a long one but good for Finn 🙂

Getting to Great Hill from Horden Stoops then White Coppice in winter is good,too busy in summer.

My grandfather Thomas pilkington used to take me walking up there as a child collecting sheep muck for his greenhouses, he was a quarryman up there and had his arm half crushed off in a rock crusher but luckily they were just pioneering microsurgery at the time and managed to sew it back on even though it was just hanging on by a bit of flesh. He was one of those swarthy tough but caring gentlemen

Walks like these makes me feel elated, the sense of freedom is so powerful. I think those small structures are shooting butts, there are loads of these on the moors. Have enjoyed my Sunday views. Cheers. 🧲

It’s always the perfect end to a Sunday watching Black Crag with a beer!

First hill my son ever climbed this, as a Chorley boy myself, you unfortunately missed some brilliant areas. White coppice is one of the best cricket grounds and villages in the country and round loaf is a must! Brilliant area to explore as masses of history and interest

Lovely Autumn hike out. Best wishes for 2024.

Great video Glenn down in our neck of the woods. The little stone structures are shooting pens for the grouse season

An euphoric sense of freedom. Overwhelms you with pure joy and happiness. ❤

Great video. I call that feeling you speak of a ' euphoric cacophony of silence' 😊

This reminds me of my time hunting all the aircraft wrecks on kinder scout and bleaklow. Excellent yomp Glen.

I used to live in Helmshore rossendale. This reminds me of the walk up the tor, over the moor to peel Tower at Holcombe.

When I go walking with my Golden Labrador Pippin, I feel at peace and my batteries are recharged. I suffer with stress (nothing major) as many of us do from day to day, working in a busy international mess! And getting away from people, enjoying the local landscapes and taking everything in about our beautiful natural world makes me feel amazing.

Done this walk loads as I live in Lancashire some good walk around Lancashire x

Done that walk so many times,you can park at white coppice next to the cricket field and head up from there too,so many great walks in that area.watched your videos for awhile now,really nice to see you do a video in my part of the world.Also if you only have an hour or so its great to park at the Hare and hounds and explore the reservoirs then up to Darwen tower and back.keep up the fantastic videos and hope your toe gets better soon,Happy Christmas🎅🎅

My last vlog in Elterwater about 6 weeks ago or so, a total novice I might add, started with a bog but having seen your bog mine was like a main road 😂😂

Always feel the sense of freedom and joy when my husband and I get out into the fells without a soul around. But also a sense of overwhelming uncertainty but excitement if exploring somewhere new! Bizarre feelings!

Everything is better when you're not stuck looking at the four walls 😊

It's also a bugger up there if you stray into those blasted grass clumps especially if you have young bullocks thundering across a field at you 😅😊

The feelings I have when leaving the road then into open wild countryside are’ at last !, away from humans and back to solidarity , ie me and the outdoors . Problem , then is , going back onto the road and meetings humans again . 😤. Give Finn a hug from me , please 👍

Hi Glen If you like bleak moors. Haworth moor is just like this and you will need a map. Few places to head for are ,Top Withens, Ponders Kirk Fairy caves, Lumb hole falls and Bronte Waterfall. But there's literally miles of moorland between Haworth and Hebden Bridge with around 10 remote reservoirs

Nice to see you in my neck of the woods. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Hi Glenn, Welcome to my hill!! Do it verrry regularly as I live 5 mins away. The little wall structures I think are shooting butts… glorious 12th and all that. It’s a grouse moor, though they have stopped maintaining it and are rewilding it to wet peat land. Bit surreal watching you on my local patch!

I love the sense of freedom and expectation you get as you disappear off the beaten track. Hope the op went well?

Close to home here! up at Brinscall

Thanks

This may have already been mentioned below ,BC - the small stone structures long the side of the lane are "shooting butts" used during grouse shooting . You are walking through a piece of "managed grouse moorland! ! A great video from t' wrong side of t' Pennines" ( I am a White Rose County man ) ! Hope toe is getting better and you have a Happ y Xmas and a good New Year !

You need to try the areas around Belmont anglezark and rivington you wouldn't be disappointed 😊

The feeling you spoke of..I know exactly what you mean. I live in Southern Ontario Canada and it is a very busy urban area. Whenever I am fortunate enough to go up North away from the cities and the highways and crowds of people, I experience it too. It is like you can actually breathe. A huge weight is lifted from your body and soul . Thank you for this video. My Dad's parents came to Canada from Lancashire many, many years ago. So it was good to see what it is like.

Hey Glen! Relax. We get it. Loving the videos man.

Hi Glenn and Finn, it's nice seeing Finn, hope your the operation on your toe went well and you are on the way to a full recovery,dreary day the color on the trees so beautiful ,another great video thanks stay safe stay warm

Reminds me of somewhere on the Pennine Way. Stay on the path, keep off the moors! Glad a werewolf didn't get you.

Great Hill is one I've done a few times. There's some grand places in Lancashire for walking.

LOVE YOU FINN!!!! Prayers sent on the toe.. agree you will be so much better! Humm a closed forest holds all of the energies inward.. compacts them as it were. Walking out into the open space releases them to the open sky, the wind and the flowing air rush over you and connects with your soul.. got carried away there LOL NEVER apologize for sharing how enthusiastic you are about everything. It is what makes you unique and spreads that joy with the rest of us. Thanks for sharing and love from the USA!

Those structures may be for shooting. We have something similar on Ilkley Moor. Another great video, thanks, and keep them coming. Steve

You should definitely take a look at Round Loaf burial mound next time you visit. I find it a very surreal experience sitting on top of it surrounded by the moors, thinking about what's below and the people who must have built it.

To surround ones Self, in the organic miracles of Mother Nature, is a blessing for your Soul. You are gifting yourSelf with the miracles of Inner Peace, Balance, Harmony, Joy, Sovereignty, and Expansion by immersing all of your senses in her Greatness. 💚 Thank You for sharing, Glenn. It's wonderful to see Finn again. 😊Those moss covered trees are magnificent!

You're in God's Country now in Lancashire & of course Cumbria is too 😊 it can be bloody wet around here even in summertime 😮 The little Finnmeister in 🐶🐕❤is a show stealer ❤🙂👍 a really great walk this 👌

I think those dry-stone structures at the side of the path are probably grouse butts?

Watching a Black crag video always a good way to finish the weekend before the grind of Monday morning starts 👍🏻😁👍🏻 cheers Glenn

Another great one. I'm really digging your videos out here in California, on a desert sea coast, far from these places. I hope to be there soon though.

Great to hear you're doing the walks and photos etc full time now. Hope the toe rehab goes well. We got snowed in at Hawkshead the other week. Lots of fun and great photos. Take care. Mark & Angie

Imagine trying to make a living in land like this...nothing but rocks and baren bogland.

Definitely found your happy place in today's episode Glen! "An oasis in a desert of humanity"

Hope the toe operation went well Glenn and you are on your way to a full recovery. Really enjoyed this video in a completely new area and great to see Finn again. Looking forward to Christmas as my brother has bought me one of your prints, don't know which one yet!

I love the wide openness of the moors. It would be amazing to see the heather. The forest was a lovely walk also. Thank you for taking me along. I enjoyed it immensely. - Ontario Canada

Another great video and hope the toe nail removal has gone to plan and you can get out on the fells soon. I think those stone constructions along the path are grouse butts. We have them near where we live in North Yorkshire. Take care and wishing you are free merry Christmas and looking forward to watching all your videos in 2024.

The 1st bit was like going up to wansfell , the moors bit is like the moors on the C2C, are the little brick things aren’t they shooting hides .

Youve been to my neck of the woods ,im so chuffed ,the west pennine moors are so good and interesting plus lots of interesting history,ive been on great hill loads of times ,thanks for visiting 😊

So you really will be "Limpy Crag" in the next video? Lol. Hope all goes (or has gone) well with the op.

What a great walk, fantastic places and interesting features, not to mention the mighty Finnster! Really enjoyed it, definitely gonna check it out, Cheers mate 🍻👍

Wow! what an incredible walk from a bleak landscapes to stunning woods and rivers. Finn is delightful. 😀👍

Is it that lost feeling? It' sounds bad, but I think you understand, it's just me, and my surroundings, and there amazing!! I'm just a tiny spec blessed to be among them! That's the way they make me feel anyway

There is a power to bless In hillside loneliness - In tarns and dreary places - A virtue in the brook, A freshness in the look Of mountains' joyless faces - And so, when life is dull Or when my heart is full Because my dreams have frowned, I wander up the rills To stones and tarns and hills - I go there to be crowned. (Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 1863) in Poems of Lakeland, 1934

Hope all went well with the operation fella. This was so enjoyable. Thank you for taking us along. 😊

I think the tumbled down structures may be gun hides for grouse shooting . But I’m no expert.

What happened to the music at the beginning 😢 oh! Well at least your in my neck of the woods .Great vid though mate , hope your toe gets better soon .All the best😊👍

Another great video Glenn! Those moors were a bit bleak for me but the second part through the woods was amazing. I can imagine the tough lives those farmers must have had in those homesteads on the moors - not a surprise that everyone had to give them up. Looking forward to the next one!

Sunday day of rest day to enjoy your vids 😊 ❤from Michigan

Great video toeday you absolutely nailed it 🤪 You can make whatever videos you like, you can do no wrong in my eyes, I'm a bit of a fan. Hope you and Finn have a great Xmas ..🍺🎄

Have you got social anxiety glenn? I certainly have. Too many gooning about these days 😂

Have you any plans to come down and explore some of the Peak District

Them there little stone efforts are shelters for sheep in "horizontal" weather, i fancy. I used one myself when i got caught in a blizzard on " Black Hill" years a go. That taught me to have a "proper" look at the forcast. I think some farmers arn't that bothered about animal husbandry because i kept coming across dead sheep. I got talking to an old boy about it in the boozer in Hebden Bridge and he said they were only getting £25 for 'em. This was in the early 90's , if i remember right. Worst one was on the Rochdale canal near Littleborough. Dogs were rounding sheep up, and the farmer was effing n blinding at a young collie, as one sheep had jumped on to the cut, as it was frozen. Crashed straight through the ice, and just the thick coat on its back was keeping it afloat. He just f/d off. I was there at least 15 mins exp him to come back. He never did.

"A Euphoric sense of freedom" and been away from plebs 😂

Loved seeing my local area in your video, perfect way to finish the weekend! If you do go back to Roddlesworth be sure to visit the Hollinshead Hall ruins to see the well house. 😊

Nice to see you in my neck of the woods. It gets pretty bleak up there, bog of despairs 😂

The West Pennine Moors are massively underrated. Well worth exploring. Steeped in history too. The pandemic and the financial situation stopped me from going to the Lakes and Snowdonia as much and forced me to explore more local areas like this area and also the South Pennines area.

Great video Glen. The paving on top and weather conditions remind me of the last walk I did in the Dales, Buckden Pike.

Right in my neck of the woods there pal. I love those moors and that walk to White Coppice from Bolton is lovely. Nice to see it being shown off. I'm going to be doing the 3 towers walk next year in the Summer that goes all across that moorland. A lot of the tracks are from open cast mines. Those stone structures are shooting hides btw.

Great vid as usual but I won't be able to look at sphagnum moss in the same light again. lol

are the "small Forts" structures some kind of Shooting Hides?

Any video with little Finn in it and I am there for the whole thing 😂❤ she’s the best. Hope you are doing well, merry Christmas!

Would love to see you on Bleaklow in the Peak District!

Is the Peak District on your hiking list? 🤔

My local area for running, from great hill you can cover many of miles in any direction, up to darwen tower or rivington and winter hill, even as far down in the opposite direction abby village and tockholes

Really enjoyed this walk will check it out 👍

The Goit you mentioned is a small canal used in the Industrial Revolution times to move water around rather than boats , there are plenty of them in all old Mill towns . That's why it has such straight sides and looks man made ,because they usually are.

Clicked and liked within 5 secs 🤣🤣 time to chill and relax ❤️

Hi Glen , I think a nice video of Whitby would be nice , I'd love to see you explore whitby

Shooting butts, love the waffle, Merry Christmas!!

That big hill reminds me of The Princess Bride, they tumble down then scamper into the forest

It is you and me encountering the divine. We experience our sovereign divinity and the true order of things. Everything else is an illusion. Dogs get it. Peace.

Love it, right in my neck of the woods, bolton. Love your vids and thanks for the upload

I love that feeling away from normal life and being surrounded by nature, I absolutely love walking through forests or on forest tracks too, more so when you get the smell from pine trees or conifers etc. Can't beat it, I'm sure when my wife is with me and I say that to her of the beautiful smells from the trees, she probably thinks I'm weird. lol 🤣 Great sense of being away from it all.

Awww I absolutely love how you and your ex share Finn it’s adorable ❤️bless Finn she gets the best of both worlds . P.s I’m more then eager to get to the Cotswolds now so I can get exploring and I’ve decided I want to take up photography once I’m settled into my old milk churning shed ( aka pear tree cottage 🤣🤣🤣)

Having a bothersome toenail removed is awesome, it isn't really painful, its numbed, and its a couple weeks of taking it easy, but nothing bad

Merry Xmas, Happy New Year and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Our local adventure playground.. loved watching your view on my favourite place in't World. Great round you picked there mate, a bit of everything. Thanks for making our Sunday even better 👍

Places look completely different in different weather conditions. So do it!

Never thought I’d see the day that you’re wishing you had a blue sky. I think the mood of the moors is best with grey skies, personally and that’s only as someone who’s only visited your beautiful country once and absolutely loved it. Loved the picture of Finn in the heather, she’s such gorgeous little thing. As for now I feel when out in nature and away from people and urbanness - it’s my grounding place, my reset button, my peace, my inner therapy. It’s something I crave if I can’t get out in it regularly. Hope you have a quick recovery and can’t wait to see your next hiking adventure

Fair play to you Glenn for maintaining your customary positivity. I’m sure that area is an absolute joy on a warm August afternoon, but that looked pretty bleak on a damp December day. Still enjoyed it though and a massive congratulations on going full time with your channel. I sensed a few years ago you were running out of steam, so fair play to you for persisting. 🍺

I've been up Great Hill today, what a coincidence! haha

Thanks Glen for another great video keep up the great work merry Christmas and a Happy New year 🎉 😀

Rain=peace, especially outdoor activities.🇬🇧🇺🇲🍺

Look forward to these Sunday uploads! 👍
