Just wonderful Athena, your Mama is soooo proud of you. Please take me, Oslo and Ola on the next hike (and some of your yummy soup too!). Couldn't love you more xxx
Hi, just how did you raise the perfect daughter?! :) - Her website is just as I would have done..had I found the energy - I have done a lot of the same walks...even her taste in music reaches out to the country soul :) - You are indeed blessed :)
I've been doing this walk for the last 35 years, use to climb on top of Noe stool everytime i went past, not up to it now, one of my favourite walks as well, so nice to see the younger generation are enjoying this beautiful walk.❤
Brilliant video and probably better than you realise. I've been a Walker for decades. I'm an ex Royal Marines Commando. I've also done Kinder Scout a few times too. The thing that annoys me with beginners, and some who class themselves as advanced walkers, is that they lose respect for the environment. When you go for a hike in remote places, you should be prepared to spend the night. You dont know when an accident will happen. You should always carry a first aid kit and know how to use it, comms, and decent quality kit against the weather. This is why you have a lot of kit and 'mess'. Great video. Lovely scenery.
Thanks Jazz :) I think it's something that people learn along the way. I used to just take a small daypack when I went out hiking, but know I understand the environment and landscape better and never go out without some essential items - waterproofs, warm clothing, map and compass, phone, small first aid kit, food and water!
I've just gone through and binge watched all of your videos - absolute dreams and I love your filming style. I could watch you both all day! Infectious smile and energy. I did a trip through the Alps with my pooch last year but didn't get half as much hiking done as I'd have liked. Trying to keep topped up in the UK until I can afford to do another escape. Haven't touched the Peak or Lake district yet but I've now planned a January trip - inspired by your videos! Thank you and please please keep doing what you're doing. Hope to see you out on the trail one day! Jasmine
Nice seeing this. I left New Mills, the other side of Kinder Scout 15 years ago to live in Uruguay South America. My last view of the area was kinder scout as I took the taxi to the airport. Thanks for sharing.
@@garybrown4952 It's nice, sunny, peaceful, I live right by the Atlantic Ocean facing the south pole. I still miss foggy cold icy windy rainy snowy dull days.
your videos are always so soothing and lovely to watch - and always inspiring me to get outside more, because i often seem to forget how much i love it. thank you for making them!
Hello Athena really enjoy your video,s What a difference a day makes in the peaks,walked from Hayfield over the top and downto Edale yesterday and the weather was great.All very very best for the coming year And wish you and Harvey ever happiness in your life together
I well recall many years ago driving 'opp from London to Hatfield and camping at the foot of Kinder to an overnight teriffic thunderstorm. Next day on Kinder in the mist all the peat gullies were full of water making a straight line compass bearing impossible. For sure there are few places like it but we made it safely to that lovely pub on the Snake Pass for an evening meal! Happy days!
I thoroughly enjoy hiking in the clouds also! We have so many trees that in winter when the leaves are down is the only time we have a lot of views. I was just thinking how nobody must use your parks since you never show anybody else when you said there were people out burning off the holiday calories. Thanks for the video. Another beautiful, relaxing 15 minutes!
I really like your videos. They make me miss the UK. Especially Scotland. Sometimes it looks so similar to the highlands. Your soundtracks are so good they made me cry. And you are such a lovely person. Thank you a lot !
My boyfriend and I walked from Lincoln to Edale in 2017 to do the Pennine Way section into the Yorkshire Dales. This video brings back some really beautiful memories of the beginning, going up Jacobs Ladder as the sun started to peek through the fog. Thanks for sharing
Hi athena Love it up kinder whatever the weather its just magical get up there as much as possible Well done harvey on picking the litter up top man i dont know why people insist on leaving it Thanks for that athena gonna watch it again now take care atvb chris
I went up from Hayfield on Friday in glorious sunshine via William clough...ended up sitting in a really cosy bar in New Mills...felt brilliant. I'd almost forgotten that feeling. One thing is for certain, I'm going to be walking all summer!!
I re-watched this video a few days ago as inspiration for my first ever walk up Kinder Scout yesterday. Our weather was pretty much the same as you and Harvey experienced, heavy mist and plenty of rain! It didn't stop me from really enjoying the hike or seeing the amazing rock formations and boulders at the top. 😁
Beautiful video! Some of my favourite hikes have been in similar conditions. I love the white sheet of mist that suddenly descends, obliterating everything in front of you. Kinda scary but atmospheric. Gives it a lord of the rings vibe..
I walked Kinder with Mr Mason in 1965, we went by steam train from Marple station to Edale station and walked by the downfall and back to Marple about 40 miles, I am now 70 and and live in Norway, I knew kinder like the Back of my hand back then, kudos on reviving a fine memory :)
Hello Athena & Harvey. As with all your video's athena there well documented.. the music also is so fitting to content your showing. All the best in 2020 and thank you for sharing your hikes.
Ah I cannot WAIT for summer! My boyfriend and I absolutely love visiting Edale and it's going to be amazing to be able to wander (and hike) round it when the weather gets a little bit better for us as we are novices!
I almost went running up there friday Athena, me and a couple of friends go out to the peak dist after xmas every year. We ended up doing Blacka moor and devils elbow route, 11 miles. It was pretty grey and misty there too. Happy new year to you and Harvey. Thanks for the great videos and content again this year.
@@RambleFamily Yeah we did thanks. Cant fault a run out in the peaks, freah air, scenery. Tried my new inov8 G mud claws out, excellent grippy trail shoes.
Lovely weather for a hike, nice to see others also prefer it when quieter. I got caught into that soundtrack for a bit and then it abruptly stopped. I would recommend fading the songs out as it has less shock when a smoother transition between scenes.
Hiya...used to be a regular walk of mine - stayed at Ollerbrook barn and the Edale Old Parsonage with Jane, dozens of times ...a couple of decades ago - she used to charge £7 per night and we used to enjoy a beer together with John, her partner - utterly loved those days :) - having had a great walk over to Kinder downfall, I would hop, skip and dance a jog down Grindsbrook booth, bouncing from boulder to boulder in the evening, with an ear to ear grin and on to the Ramblers for fine traditional pub grub and ale. :) Also camped at the farm field along by start of Jacobs ladder, upper booth farm, opposite old phone box? - spent one night trying to hold my ridge tent down as relentless driving rain and light gales had aspirations of launching the first canvas ISS :) Loved your music as always - I am building a bit of a Spotify Indi Folk collection myself now :) - Feel free to send me more links from your collection :) ---- Somewhat different...but just been listening to Gilmour / Floyd at Pompei (czcams.com/video/CiXNIjGX1hY/video.html) on youtube.....since you love soul moving music...take a listen, after a wee slurp or preferably two, in a darkened room, fire and candles lit, rain falling on the window....mmmmmmmmmm
Respect for the ones who put all the slabs on the path! Nice moody hike, great shots and snappy editing covering the trip. Best wishes and keep it up in 2020,
Love this video. I was born in Charlesworth and lived in Glossop for a few years. My grandparents had the Royal Hotel in Hayfield, so many a memory of this part of the world. I live in Poland now and miss this little piece of home.
A lovely atmospheric walk in the misty tops of Kinder you can’t beat that clingy feel of the fog hiding then revealing those mystical rock formations on the tops of the Tors, thanks for sharing guys👍
Amazing, I did not know your channel existed until it popped up on my page, while leisurely scrolling through the channels. Never subscribe automatically to any channel. I'm one who judges on quality, narration and usefulness for me when out in the Peak District. You passed my litmus test (actually well beyond), well impressed, therefore liked and subscribed. Thankyou, to you both for sharing. Liked and Subscribed
Something spiritual about the hills in our country, I always try to imagine how they were before roads/cars/tourists when the hill shepherds grafted this land hard to carve out a living!
Brilliant! Still amazing even with the mist, I love how the same places can be so different in a way depending on the weather and top job Harvey on picking up that bit of litter you found 👏👏
I love Kinder Scout but we always walk up from Hayfield, once you get to the site of the mass trespass the route becomes less well defined but still easy to follow as you are just going up and up.
Before I moved to NZ in 1962m Kinder Scout was a happy hunting ground'. However in thise days it was all completely trackless, I had to use a compass all the time. Thise stone slabs maring the Pennine Way were't there, all you had was a line on the map. It was all good training for my move to NZ where there is an enormous amouht of very wild country and compass skills are very necessary. Nevertheless, you have taken me back to my roots! Thank you very much!!
well worth the extra bit to kinder downfall, but navigating the plateau in those conditions is tricky if you are not used to upland moors in limited visibility. Nice video, I love walks like this, sure views are nice, but the quiet solitude of the world ending in mist 20m in every direction is amazing, with rock formations looming into visibility and fading away behind you.
ive only just got in the house from a wild camp at wool packs ,weather was much better Saturday/sunday morning ,headed in from hayfield and up William Clough along sandy hay to kinder downfall and then along pennine way to woolpack ,then back down via oaken Clough and broad Clough
Athena Mellor we dropped on with the weather really ,wasn’t too windy so it was calm over by the wool packs ,cloud came in at night ,but by the time we left in the morning it had cleared up and was just hanging in the valley
Nicely put together vid/music. Cant beet a good long hike in atmospheric conditions... However my fellow hikers got so annoyed that I always bring the bad weather I became known as ‘The Jinx’. Keep up the good work, ATB Ant 👍🏻😉
Hi Athena. I watched most of ur videos now and I feel like this is a real step up in quality and general look of it, sorry not great with flowery language!! But thought this really captured the feel and atmosphere of the peak. Btw I have exactly the same flask in yellow!! Great taste 😊
Thanks so much Rob! Harvey did some filming on his camera and helped with editing as well. I also got a wind deadener and GoPro for Christmas so I feel all these things may have added to the quality :) Definitely keen to keep the quality high (without making it all too high-production!). Thanks again.
i wonder if any of you can help, there was a place we visited on a school trip back in the 80's that ive always wanted to revisit but could never work out where it was exactly, first part of the day was in buxton, looking at some kilns, then a short coach ride to a working farm museum that was the start of a walk, right behind this farm it went straight up in to the hills, then there were wooden walkways around waterfalls set in pretty deep chasms then it finished going down in to a little village. didnt appreciate it back then, our only school trip of the year and we go look at kilns instead of going to alton towers! would really love to go back and see it with adult eyes.
Hi guys,Happy new year to you both! I’ve just found your channel and it’s wonderful I will be watching all the videos you have uploaded previously. great walk up kinder scout ,love the changing weather thanks for sharing x
I walked up there yesterday....missed you by 24 hours 😂 This is a lovely video, thank you 🙏 I finished after dark and came down the stream valley back down to where I parked.
4 of us were running up on kinder the same morning. We were also going clockwise but don't think we passed you. Beautiful video, despite the lack of views it was still great to be up there! New sub :)
Hi Athena, after watching your last video on your top 5 walks in the UK l commented that l had walked this route the other way a few years ago with my sister. The weather was the same on the day we did it. A very heavy downpour just before we descended Jacobs Ladder seen us finding shelter till it passed over. As l said before the weather didn’t dampen our spirits or take anything away from the raw beauty of this magical place and like you both we ended the day with a drink in the pub sitting by the roaring fire till it was time to head home. As always Athena a great video, looking forward to seeing more adventures in the New Year. All the best to you both and a happy , prosperous and safe New Year 👍
I loved your video Athena. I've been walking on Kinder for 50 years now, it's one of my favourite places - I love the peat groughs. My usual route is up Grindsbrook, I'm a sucker for a nice bit of water. I'll give your route a try over the next few months. I find It's always easier going up Grindsbrook than coming down it, Ollerbrook Clough looks fairly easy coming down. Thanks for the video, I'll be looking at the others. Nice music too.
Great video, I love your choice of music. When I saw the contour lines so close together on your map, I worried you might fall off a steep cliff in the mist. Glad you made it safely. I did smile at one point though with a headless Harvey stumbling along in your wake, giving his comments. It might do more for the poor man's dignity if you pause for a moment to let him address his remarks to the camera before resuming the walk. 😂 Lovely scenery though, those Tors are quite impressive. As you were walking along the paths I couldn't help but be impressed by the effort that must have been made to lay those stone slabs. Congratulations to those that did the work, you made a wonderful job of it. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos in the New Year. Health, happiness and prosperity to both of you. God bless. Steven.
Lovely video! Would love for you to make a video on the kit you have and recommendations, I’m sure it would be of use to many others too!! Happy new year 😊
A very good looking route and one I'll keep in mind for my next visit to the Peak District. Thanks for sharing. Good to also hear some thoughts from Harvey. All the best for 2020.
First time viewer and I must say this was very well shot. Your(s) passion & pride in your(s) cinematography comes through in this video. Looking forward to more🏞⛰ Love that mist 🌫🌫🌫🌫🌫
Makes me realise what I'm missing in life and what I can't wait to get back to... hiking is food for the soul.
Just wonderful Athena, your Mama is soooo proud of you. Please take me, Oslo and Ola on the next hike (and some of your yummy soup too!). Couldn't love you more xxx
Hi mama I love you! xxxxxxx
Hi, just how did you raise the perfect daughter?! :) - Her website is just as I would have done..had I found the energy - I have done a lot of the same walks...even her taste in music reaches out to the country soul :) - You are indeed blessed :)
Anthena you are a inspiration, I have to go hiking in secret as my mother worries. But you are giving me the confidence to not hide who I am. X

Me: ✋🏻
Beutiful moody day out there. The colour gradients at 2:58 were amazing and the rock formations on top in the mist are so photogenic.
Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. I have always found it so peaceful to walk through fog/clouds.
I've just gone through and binge watched all of your videos - absolute dreams and I love your filming style. I could watch you both all day! Infectious smile and energy.

Nice seeing this. I left New Mills, the other side of Kinder Scout 15 years ago to live in Uruguay South America. My last view of the area was kinder scout as I took the taxi to the airport. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, two very contrasting places I imagine!
My home town new mills
@@garybrown4952 I was not a New Mills native, I was just passing through. Lived there for 7+ years.
The high peak is a beautiful place I try and get up there as often as I can . How is Uruguay?
@@garybrown4952 It's nice, sunny, peaceful, I live right by the Atlantic Ocean facing the south pole. I still miss foggy cold icy windy rainy snowy dull days.

Good for you two to get out there even in such foggy, grey weather!!
Your mix of music and English scenery is unmatched on you tube. I just wished they were longer!😄 Another great video!

A lovely video to watch on a cost Sunday afternoon🌟

Thanks Chris. Harvey's a good man, always shoving litter from the trail in our bags!!
I went up from Hayfield on Friday in glorious sunshine via William clough...ended up sitting in a really cosy bar in New Mills...felt brilliant. I'd almost forgotten that feeling.
One thing is for certain, I'm going to be walking all summer!!

Great vlog. The sort of quality I aspire to. I think this kind of vlog really inspires people to get up off their bums and go do it for themselves.

Completing your hike with a trip to the pub, perfect!
Thanks for sharing! What an atmosphere...
Map and compass, and picking up litter. Bravo.
Good vid.
We are so inspired by your vids we are doing this today. !! Fingers crossed keeps the vids going they are fantastic!
Excellent timing - heading there tomorrow! And like the couple you met, I'm also doing the route you set out in your previous video :)
Ah that's so great to hear! Hope the weather is lovely for you :)
@@RambleFamily Drat! Edale was packed, had to abandon it. Oh well, will return soon once everyone has gone back to work, haha 😄
Lovely weather for a hike, nice to see others also prefer it when quieter. I got caught into that soundtrack for a bit and then it abruptly stopped. I would recommend fading the songs out as it has less shock when a smoother transition between scenes.
I love a good stomp around kinder... it's my go to place if I want to go and smash off some miles😀
That's place looks awesome! I'd love to go there! Looks cool with all the fog.

Also camped at the farm field along by start of Jacobs ladder, upper booth farm, opposite old phone box? - spent one night trying to hold my ridge tent down as relentless driving rain and light gales had aspirations of launching the first canvas ISS :)
Loved your music as always - I am building a bit of a Spotify Indi Folk collection myself now :) - Feel free to send me more links from your collection :) ---- Somewhat different...but just been listening to Gilmour / Floyd at Pompei (czcams.com/video/CiXNIjGX1hY/video.html) on youtube.....since you love soul moving music...take a listen, after a wee slurp or preferably two, in a darkened room, fire and candles lit, rain falling on the window....mmmmmmmmmm
Respect for the ones who put all the slabs on the path!
Nice moody hike, great shots and snappy editing covering the trip.
Best wishes and keep it up in 2020,
Agreed about the people who built the trail! Heroes :)

Amazing video! Makes me want to travel over there and hike the trails!
Great video. I love the misty shots
Wonderfull video with great music and a awesome after Christmas idea. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thanks for watching!
My friend and i hiked the same slightly shorter route when we had the heat wave in 2018. Love it
Well i will be doing this walk thanks to you. Great layout, great instructions with the map. Thanks a lot. You got a new subscriber x
Inspiring and refeshing as always. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Always wanted to visit the UK! Thanks for sharing your videos!👍🏼
Another great video Athena (and Harvey). Good to see you getting local in the amazing Peak District.

Great video. Very atmospheric! I’ve been out on the Mendips today. Not quite as dramatic but it was great to walk off some Christmas indulgence!
Sounds great! It's lovely down there though :)
Great vid . looking forward to my first trip up Kinder in October been doing some smaller hikes to get me ready for kinder : 0 )
Always enjoy a feed. Enjoy the meal and know that your pack will be lighter on the way home.
I took my daughter (she's 5 years old) last summer to Edale and we went up to The Nab! It was far less foggy then!
Nice I enjoyed as usual
Lovely video Athena. Reminds me of when I lived in Sheffield as a youth and made trips out to Kinder. Happy New Year to you and Harvey.

didnt appreciate it back then, our only school trip of the year and we go look at kilns instead of going to alton towers! would really love to go back and see it with adult eyes.

great walk up kinder scout ,love the changing weather thanks for sharing x
Elizabeth... your beautiful x
I walked up there yesterday....missed you by 24 hours 😂
This is a lovely video, thank you 🙏
I finished after dark and came down the stream valley back down to where I parked.
I've been up there and in Castleton on the 28 too! Haha
Super video Athena and Harvey, wishing you both a Happy New Year, and many more adventures in 2020.
Thanks so much!
4 of us were running up on kinder the same morning. We were also going clockwise but don't think we passed you. Beautiful video, despite the lack of views it was still great to be up there! New sub :)
Love it on Kinder in the mist. So atmospheric! Awesome video!
I enjoyed the video. like the people you bumped into, I'm inspired to walk this route after watching this, thank you for the videos
What a lovely cheery couple you both are x
Great adventure! Well done.
Hi Athena, after watching your last video on your top 5 walks in the UK l commented that l had walked this route the other way a few years ago with my sister. The weather was the same on the day we did it. A very heavy downpour just before we descended Jacobs Ladder seen us finding shelter till it passed over. As l said before the weather didn’t dampen our spirits or take anything away from the raw beauty of this magical place and like you both we ended the day with a drink in the pub sitting by the roaring fire till it was time to head home. As always Athena a great video, looking forward to seeing more adventures in the New Year. All the best to you both and a happy , prosperous and safe New Year 👍
Sounds like a similar day to us then! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words :)
👍👍👍💚💚💚Pohodvé video hezká nezničená příroda 🌲👍
I loved your video Athena. I've been walking on Kinder for 50 years now, it's one of my favourite places - I love the peat groughs. My usual route is up Grindsbrook, I'm a sucker for a nice bit of water. I'll give your route a try over the next few months. I find It's always easier going up Grindsbrook than coming down it, Ollerbrook Clough looks fairly easy coming down. Thanks for the video, I'll be looking at the others. Nice music too.
Great video, I love your choice of music. When I saw the contour lines so close together on your map, I worried you might fall off a steep cliff in the mist. Glad you made it safely.
I did smile at one point though with a headless Harvey stumbling along in your wake, giving his comments.
It might do more for the poor man's dignity if you pause for a moment to let him address his remarks to the camera before resuming the walk. 😂
Lovely scenery though, those Tors are quite impressive. As you were walking along the paths I couldn't help but be impressed by the effort that must have been made to lay those stone slabs.
Congratulations to those that did the work, you made a wonderful job of it.
I look forward to more of your wonderful videos in the New Year. Health, happiness and prosperity to both of you. God bless.

Haha, aww bless him. I will stop and let him speak next time :)
Lovely video! Would love for you to make a video on the kit you have and recommendations, I’m sure it would be of use to many others too!! Happy new year 😊
I do love a good fog hike, it does look beautiful. Hope to see it without the fog tho one day :p
I love Kinder!! Great video!! Loving your channel already as a newbie! You and Harvey take good care!! Best wishes.
Thanks for that, this Christmas is the first that I haven't managed to fit in a walk on Kinder.
Looks amazing! 👌
A very good looking route and one I'll keep in mind for my next visit to the Peak District. Thanks for sharing. Good to also hear some thoughts from Harvey. All the best for 2020.
