- Ever have moments where you're completely lost for words? We headed out on the most beautiful peak district hike where more than one incredible moment left us speechless.
The route we took was to climb Kinder Scout, the peak district's highest point. Setting off from Edale, the start of the Pennine Way, we took Jacob's Ladder to the summit before an incredible life-affirming storm hit making the reward of a cosy drink afterwards even more satisfying.

Thanks for watching this week's video! We wanted to play a little game, how many sheep did you spot during the hike? Comment and let us know! Also, we'd love to hear about your favourite adventures in the wild, what yomps should we add to our hiking bucket list? 🥾
When l was a 12 year old boy and a keen Boys Bregade enthusiast we all decided to climb Jacobs Ladder one Witsun Monday. It was a lovely sunny day untill we reached assent when started to hail then it started to snow and snow and snow by the time the mountain rescue reach us we in a bad way. It was the first and only time lve flown in a Helecopter this was a big Wessex this was in 1963 we were rescued by the RAF😎😎😎
Oh wow John that sounds dramatic! Glad you managed to make it back safely eventually! Must have been quite an experience to get helicoptered off
Well thanks for sharing your wet wild hike and the beautiful rainbow 🌈 hope you were both ok once you got back and had got dried out and finally eaten tc now your oldies 🤗🤗
It took a while to dry out but we managed it haha! It was a gorgeous walk, made even more special with the rainbow! Thank you for watching xx
I love how committed you two were to reaching the top. What a beautiful hike.
Gorgeous! Would much rather hike in the cool rain and wind than in the heat of where we live in Southern CA; I actually find the sun every, single, day very depressing. Wonderful to see WEATHER AND RAIN!! ❤❤
Haha I can imagine that it may get tiresome in the end... But, we are currently experiencing the wettest summer. We've had about 1 day in the last two months when it hasn't rained and drizzled!
Wow, what a stunner of a trip and you both are amazing troopers. Best rainbow by far! 👏👏👏💛
Wasn't it just amazing! Absolutely took our breath away! Thank you for watching :)
I think your boot coming apart might just have been a bit of a blessing in disguise. You were getting as you said quite anxious, so I think your boot decided for you. There’s always another day. Really looking forward to coming back to your neck in the woods next month too. 🙂
Thank you both I really enjoyed the video.The views were out of this world.And it was lovely you both made it to the top.And enjoy all the seasons win one day.Have a lovely week both of you.😊😊
Thank you Sally! It is such an inspiring landscape. Have you visited? Hope you have a lovely week too :)
@@thistinylife no I haven't but would definitely put it on my bucket list. 😊
What a wonderful rainbow! You can’t beat mountains and hills for views and weather! I did a walk in very similar conditions in the Brecon Beacons many years ago - strangely no one else was on the hills that day!
That is one of the benefits of braving the conditions isn't it! Getting to enjoy it all by yourself 😂 I wouldn't have the changed the weather, it sounds daft but the rain was life assuring!
That rainbow was absolutely amazing. You could practically see the pots of gold 😊
How many sheep? Erm 14? Total guess 😂
Haha we're still waiting for that pot of gold to appear 😂 It was such an incredible moment, completely took our breath away!
Loved this video! That good old peak district weather you have to take the kitchen sink to prepare for the weather 😂 I love Jacobs ladder. I have to say hats off to Gabby for walking up there pregnant I could barely walk at all when I was carrying my boys 😂.
You really do experience all the weather in what feels like minutes! Just incredible how quickly it can change. We are now looking into finding some waterproof trousers haha! Thank you....I don't think I could have done it in the first few months but really lucky to be feeling my pre-pregnancy self at the moment!
Wow This has to be the best video yet! What an incredible feat in all of that rain too and with tremendous upbeat attitudes! Wonderful to watch, you’re obviously both in heaven!!!! Loads of love to you xxx
Ah that's so lovely to hear thank you! We loved making this video, it was quite an epic walk 🚶♀️🚶♂️🌈. 😘 xxx
Love, love, love this video. And your spirit full of humor
Oh thank you so much! We wanted to share a chilled but outdoorsy day 🙌
Hi Jack and Gabby. I’m amazed how you managed to keep on going when the weather got so wet. I’m glad you got to see such a spectacular rainbow and the weather was kinder on the descent. My guess is 22 sheep. Take care. Nick
It really was quite an experience! I think had it been cold we would have reconsidered our plans but it was surprisingly warm 😂 It is spectacular up there, a really inspiring walk! Have you visited the Peaks?
Thank you 🙏 for sharing
Thank you for watching 🙂
You guys are so full of joy! made me smile :)
Thank you so much for watching!! It was a great hike :)
Wonderful. I'll be doing that walk in September.
Great! Dress for all the weathers!
I'm lucky enough to live in the Peak District and only a couple of miles from Kinder Scout so I really enjoyed this video. Come back again soon. I live adjacent to the Peak Forest Canal, you could come visit on your boat!! 😊
It must be an amazing to live, we absolutely loved the hike. It's such an inspirational landscape. Will have to check out the Peak Forest Canal! Thank you for the recommendation and for watching 🙂
I think 🤔 counted 17 sheep but a good portion of them were at the very beginning. Did you see the second rainbow starting on the left above that first one? It was just beautiful! I hope neither of you caught a cold!
17 might be a good shout! They do manage to get everywhere out on the peaks! The rainbow was just stunning, couldn't believe how clear it was! Such a spectacular moment
Enjoyed this video the peak district is fairly local to me, loved the rainbow too, there are are lot of good walks and cycle rides, a couple are the Wolfscote dale walk and Chee dale stepping stones, the later one is below the Monsall trail you can get on it at Millers Dale its a disused railway line where you can cycle into Bakewell, bike hire is available, theres a pub at Millers dale too, the Anglers Rest.
It's a very inspiring place, the rainbow took our breath away! Thank you for your tips of places to go and check out, we'll definitely try and do a few more walks during out time here... The trip to Bakewell sounds great! Jack
That was incredible x
Thank you so much for watching! It was a really good hike
Ooooh you found sorrel!
It's such a hidden gem, but you shouldn't eat too much of it because it contains oxalic acid which can cause kidney stones to form.
If you want to try using it for more than a salad, try Polish sorrel soup - a light and tangy soup traditionally eaten in springtime, served with hard-boiled eggs.
Sorrel pesto is great too.
These all sound lovely, thank you so much for your recommendations. Will definitely give some pesto a go and will look into the soup :)
Did you know it’s the second most visited national park in the world. I miss living there.
Takes me back to hiking in the Peak District some 60 years ago. Thanks for the memories.
Oh amazing. Where was your favourite spot? We're staying with friends this way for another week or two so would love a recommendation to head to! It's beautiful isn't it ✨ thanks for watching 🙌
@@thistinylife So many favourite spots! I enjoyed hiking on Mam Tor, Stanage Edge. Dovedale is lovely. Then there are the beautiful villages (hopefully still beautiful after so long!) like Bakewell and Edale. The interesting village of Eyam - where the villagers quarantined themselves to stop the plague spreading. Enjoy your stay there.
Spent My 20s walking and mountain biking in the peaks .you could quite easily get four seasons in one day . Remember walking up to kinder when the clouds dropped and enveloped us it was a complete white out then it went dark as the snow dropped all the paths disappeared we had maps and compass no GPS or phones then and we had a choice the pub on the snake pass or direct route back to the carpark at Bowden . Eventually made it back and was stuck in the car park overnight due to snow drifts snake pass had been closed . The next day they cleared the road .
Ladybower reservoir howden dam where they practise the dambusters raids during WW2 nice walk along the tops around the reservoir . Regularly would do night rides from woodhead pass to the snake pass across the Moors . Beautiful place . Would also drive along the snake pass to work early Morning as the sun came up magical to see the mist rising off the forests and reservoirs .
Wow those early morning drives must have been spectacular. It's a mesmerising place with the most dramatic scenery. We honestly were lost for words so often. Will have to look at some of the areas you suggested 🙂 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I did a similar walk a few years ago, but we climbed up a gorge from Edale to the big rocks, over the moors, down Jacob's Ladder and back round to the pub in Edale. There's a good walk up from Castleton to Mam Tor, and along the ridge. Good for mountain bikes, too.
Oh that sounds lovely. We visited Edale for our best friends' wedding last year and fell in love with the place. Will have to take a look at that walk! Jack
A brave adventure by both of you. Did a similar walk in wild storm conditions on Mt Remarkable in South Australia, it was exhilarating. You helped me relive that special experience.
Best wishe to you both from Oz.
Amazing - I bet your storm was impressive! Exhilarating is SO the right word though, adds to the experience 🌧️ thank you ✨
And now you have to name the baby Rainbow! 😂
Haha great idea!
We wana know who drew the short straw having to go and get the camera for all the walking shots 😂👏🏻
Hats off to you for keeping going and congrats on the sponsor ☺️❤️
HAHAHA one day we'll just do a video of the various faces and silly walks we do when heading back to collect the camera 😅
@@thistinylife 😂 it’s gotta be done
Brings back memories of when I walked the Pennine Way. It was considered you duty if you had not got wet by the end of your day that you would find the nearest stream an fall in!!
Haha love that!! Did you do it all in one, or in bits? It's on our list to do the full thing!
Took three weeks to walk it after I finished University, and before starting work! Had dry socks at the start of the first day, and once more when I changed to my spare pair. It is a challange but there is beautiful scenery to see (mist permitting). If you get the chance go for it.
Great video, you both looked so happy, did you ever get your lunch?
We did! Just after the rainbow we managed to scoff it down before the rain 🌧️ thank you for watching 😌
That was amazing guys! That rainbow!!wow! Have you ever been to the Isle of Man. There's Sneafel to see and a tram / train to get there😊
We were so lucky to be there for it, such lucky timing!! We've never been to the Isle of Man - we'll add it to our list, thank you!
That was an amazing vlog, such a dramatic scenic walk. It’s been on my bucket list, did you walk from the boat ?
Boat's still in the paint shed so we're staying with friends at the moment! We've committed to do more of these sort of adventures though and the landscape was so inspiring
@@thistinylife it’s amazing there, I’m hoping to incorporate it with a boat hire someday. Sorry for the stupid question, didn’t engage my brain first 😂
The small buildings are barns I think?
They are! From when farms were smaller and more frequent. Perfect place for some winter shelter. It feels a shame a lot of them are falling into dilapidation, would be wonderful if they could find a new life as bothies. Still, I guess they must be a good spot for bats and owls to roost!
❤
Interesting, shame you are advertising, I get fed up with adverts it’s spoiling your vlog in my opinion. Thanks for the rest. Dave
Hey Dave. In an ideal world, we wouldn't need to but these videos take on average two days to create. We simply cannot afford to make them without some form of return. Instead, we work with brands that we believe are doing some positive in this world. Hope you understand 🙂
