Great walk really enjoyed it ...just as far away from the 21st century as you can get.....thanks.

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Thanks, the isolation is fantastic up there and you feel like you're really leaving the rat race behind.

@grenville64 Год назад

Excellent video Duncan. I've been up a lot of those fells but not all in one big hike! 🙂🙂Recovering from knee surgery in 2023 then back out on the trails at back end of the year. Keep up the good work!

@DuncanBaxter Год назад

Thanks, it is indeed a gorgeous place but like everywhere else in the Pennines distances are so visually deceiving, hope you recover soon and start to enjoy the fells again 🙂

Duncan, your narration, music and videos are fantastic, looking forward to to watching all and start discovering your special fells. Regards and thanks Eric

Great video. Love the combination of insightful commentary and poignant music. I walked across fell yesterday the Pennies certainly have character.

@DuncanBaxter 2 года назад

Thanks, it is an area full of character and solitude, all I do is record what nature has already provided, which is impressive in the North Pennines 😊

@curlewpiper315 Год назад

The remotest place I've ever been up there on the pennines . I couldn't help but pick up bits of flourite from the little streams , think it was flourite anyway, it sparkled in the shallow water and lots of lead ore on the paths that looked like silver , my bag weighed a ton be the time I got back to car

@DuncanBaxter Год назад

It's so tempting to pick it up and before you know it you have a bag full which really weighs you down, made that mistake many times 😉

@magorzataj.6808 3 года назад

Hi Duncan 🙂. Another great trip🙂 You have a funny hat☺️

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Thanks, love it up there and had gorgeous weather as well. The hat has a mind of its own, the ear flaps can never stay in one place 😅

@Robutube1 3 года назад

Beautifully put together Duncan. For the sheer effort you expend in creating the variety of shots you do, you deserve many more views, but in addition to that the film flows, music is very well used and your company in them is champion!

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Thank you very much for those kind words, it is a fair amount of effort putting my videos together (shooting/editing/scoring etc) plus holding down a full time job means I can only release one every 3 weeks. However when I receive positive comments like yours it is all worthwhile. Sure the views will increase eventually, have many more ideas in the pipeline...🖒

@Robutube1 3 года назад

@@DuncanBaxter The care you take is so obvious Duncan; I wanted to provide some feedback so that you know it is noticed and appreciated. Your ethos of only posting when you have the time to make it good is very refreshing too! I did a 24 mile challenge walk yesterday and the thought of stopping to set up and then walk towards/from the camera (and collecting it) whilst on the walk makes me shudder 😁.

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

The temptation towards the end of a hike to start walking and just leave all the gear behind is real, remembering to have to walk back uphill can be a real pain! 😅 It is worth it in the end though, glad you enjoy them.

@Linleys 10 месяцев назад

A fantastic mountain adventure there Duncan. The scenes and route so very well captured in your video. Excellent watch from the start to the end. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm thinking of visiting Cross fell from Knock maybe. Cheers, Warren :)

@DuncanBaxter 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your comment, sorry for the delay, hope you managed to conquer Cross Fell from Knock and were treated to the same views I was 😊

@darrenrobson5977 3 года назад

Nice one Duncan, I love Garrigill

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Thanks, Garrigill is a gorgeous village, love the small village green in the middle!

@darrenrobson5977 3 года назад

@@DuncanBaxter I had walk around Burnhope reservoir and over the top way back to Westgate on Saturday really enjoyed the section from Cowshill to Westgate was very nice some amazing views over the valley mate.

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Aye, haven't been to the Weardale in a while mate and there are gorgeous views in that valley ,got plans to return there soon though watch this space!!

@colinwatkins2950 2 года назад

you started off at gatehead to be exact, weve done that trail loads of times to cross fell.

@DuncanBaxter 2 года назад

Thanks for the heads up on that, I will mention it in future videos. I must admit I get more favourable feedback when instead of using 'Pennine Way' and 'Black Band' etc I use 'The Old Corpse Road', it definitely sticks in their heads more.

@michaelfinn1317 3 года назад

Hi Duncan, I really enjoyed your video. I’ve walked only a bit of the start of the Pennine Way but hope to resume when all this lockdown trouble is behind us. Thanks for making this lovely film.

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Thank you for watching it, it is a tremendous part of our country and sure once your boots are treading these lands you will enjoy it as much as I do. 😊

@billbrason138 Год назад

Hi Duncan,I’m new to your channel and I’m thoroughly enjoying your vids in the North Pennines being from the North East myself but living in the Yorkshire Dales National Park it’s good to see back home, one question could you possibly but the miles you walk on the end of your vids to give an idea what I’m in for as I intend to come up and walk some of your routes. Bill Brason.

@DuncanBaxter Год назад

Hi, thanks for your kind words and glad you are enjoying my channel. The distance I travel and any peaks I achieved are listed in the full description of each video, plus any relevant links to other websites 😊

@michaelmasterman6685 3 года назад

Hello Duncan, wonderful video! It actually inspired me to hike from Garrigill to Cross fell and back yesterday (1st June) with my 13 years old boy who was astonished at the sheer beauty of the North Pennines. Having now been there I really appreciate the detail in your video, great work thanks! Would love to see you do a video around High Cup Nick?

@DuncanBaxter 3 года назад

Hi Michael, thanks for your positive comments, it is indeed a truly wonderful and scenic location! Regarding High Cup Nick, I have already done a video there which is also available on my channel, which I have linked below 😊😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eF5_i2k6VXI.html

Only just found your channel and just subscribed, I'm looking forward to watching your videos and seeing your adventures, I run a similar channel, be sure to check me out and let me know if you find anything you like, Stay safe, Stu

@DuncanBaxter Год назад

Thanks, have just subscribed to your channel, notice you seem to be centred around the Ribblesdale/Hawes area, remember doing the 3 peaks challenge about 3 years ago with work, definitely an experience I won't forget. One day I will venture into the Yorkshire dales to video (I find Wharfedale and Wensleydale particularly beautiful), will be watching your channel with interest, atb.

@stuoutdoors1961 Год назад

@@DuncanBaxter thank you for your support and comment, I do spend alot of time in the Dale's but plan to slowly cast my net further. The Yorkshire 3 peaks is a very tough walk that I will not be doing again for a very long time, I prefer to enjoy those mountains instead of conquer them. Stay safe Stu.
