What a lovely walk/run over the Pennines. I loved driving my bus to Marsden Dirker and Marsden Hard end. Beautiful scenery.
The Adventure continues this weekend so there may be more spots you recognise coming soon 👍😎 Thanks again for watching
I always drove up to buckstones past the Nont Sarah's pub since my late teens. Lovely view from up there and 10-12 mins drive away.
That music is beyond beautiful youve really captured the peak distrikt feeling
Good luck with the Spine. That should be a really cool experience.
Really looking forward to it, plenty of time to increase the fitness so going to enjoy the journey to the start line. Thanks for watching Mark
Great journey you two are on , me an arr lass are loving seeing your trips again pal
Thanks for watching 👍 we are really enjoying getting out and experiencing the Pennine Way. I'm really enjoying making videos regularly again too 😎
Another awesome video Dean... Well done to you and Steph!!!
Your catching us up very quick 😂😂 we'll be back on the trail 2 weeks on Friday but at a much more sedate pace Gargrave to Horton... If you catch us up feel free to stop for a hob nob and fruit tea 😂😂😂
Can't wait for the next installment!!
Thanks for watching Debbie, we didn't manage to get out for another run this weekend so we haven't progressed passed Marsden yet 😁
Hi Deano, something that I don't see many people comment on is the music you create for the vids... Sounds real nice matey, epic soundscapes to compliment the epic landscapes.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words regarding the music. I love making the tracks to go with the videos, it's all part of the creative process and something that brings me joy 😁
Hello again, did the same walk Today starting in Glossop via Bleaklow, wet Muddy should have worn boots, sore feet now, thanks for the inspiration.
Sounds like a great route, getting wet and muddy is part of the fun of the Peak District 😁 thanks for watching
I have only just returned and you are making me want to go again.
I've got a Pennine Way obsession soni don't blame you for wanting to return :-) thanks for watching
Another great day on the PW Dean and Stef. That view from Laddow Rocks must be one of the Peak District’s finest. It’s great to see you tackling the PW again. I’ve only walked as far as Black Hill so I’m really looking forward to next month and seeing more of the trail for myself
Nice to see you up and running (literally) Dean. Best of luck to you and Steph, look forward to the remaining stages.
Thanks Mike and thanks for watching. All being well we should be heading out to do part 3 this weekend 👍
Great see you back on the Pennine Way and taking it as a new challenge because that is definitely what life's about keep on Challenge ourselves in different ways 👌
I couldn't agree more, trying to keep pushing myself and see how far my legs will take me. I'm sure I'll get to my limit at multiple points during the Spine Challenger but looking forward to seeing how I overcome those obstacles. Thanks for watching
Im always after those Wiked wraps on sale lol perfect adventure fuel
They are perfect for a mid run snack, I found I could digest it well while still moving. Thanks for watching
Loving these trail running training videos - hope the spine goes well when it comes -- also loving you are doing it by train
Thanks for watching Paul. Looking forward to getting back out there again soon
I was watching a US bike channel where the vlogger had problems with the GoPro 8 and ended up going back to an older model. I seem to recall reading about other people having issues as well. I still think the Sony FDR X 3000 is the best sports cam out there. Despite it being a few years old now and I've been impressed with a DJI Osmo Action.
Thanks for watching 👍 I've found that trying to turn the GoPro off straight after a recording has finished annoys it.. it's very slow indeed so you have to give it time to catch up. It's a shame really as I've been very impressed with it other than the slow software.
Really enjoyed watching Dean, this is the section that we first met you on so it brings back some fond memories. Great job with the running - you don't even huff and puff while chatting and running! Recap is great, especially set to your music. Can't wait for part 3.
Thanks for watching Julie. Seems like a lifetime ago when we met on the PW. Hope you're both doing well 👍 Part 3 this weekend all being well. Marsden to Hebden Bridge
@@DeanRead Really admire your drive and determination to go for your goals. Quite inspiring ☺️.
I'm certainly going to give it a go 😁
See you on the start line at Edale. I’ll be the slow old guy at the back. I crashed out at Thornton in Craven with a bad back, this year.
We'll be right at the back with you Eddie, no rushing and the only goal is to finish it :-). Thanks for watching 👍
Great video,thank you both,I drive for a living so I’m really interested in the public transport parts many thanks
Thanks for watching 👍 I'll give as much info as I can regarding public transport. All being well we're heading out to do part 3 from Marsden to Hebden Bridge this weekend via the trains
I did the trek down Wessenden Head the other week - really nice views over the reservoirs there. Will have to go back to check out the waterfalls. Hoping to do Laddow Rocks soon.
Thanks for watching 👍 The views from Laddow Rocks are amazing, hope you get to walk there soon.
in the past there used to be an organised event "race" called the Ten Reservoirs Walk, it covered most of your route today, completing a circuit. Highly recommended event if its still held. Another great one was the Wear Valley Way up in the north east. Well worth investigating, great walks.
Thanks for watching Robert, I'll have to look out for those races 👍
That was a cracking section. The Crowden Horseshoe including Black Hill is on the to do list, so it was great to see some of the landscape up there. The weather was very kind to you 👍. Looking forward to the next section! 😀
Thanks for watching Greg, wishing I was back out there now instead of at work. We are heading out this weekend to do part 3 👍😎
I sympathise @@DeanRead 😀. Had to resort to watching some Peak District walking footage at lunchtime today to ease the pain 🤣🤣. Just want to be up there out in the wild and not working in my office…. 😬
I'm going to edit another video tonight to relive the memories 🤣
Brings back memories of my summer spine sprint, light was failing as I approached Wessenden Head and I'd has a massive sense of humour failure climbing black hill.
SST and a few words of encouragement from my wingman sorted me out.
All in though the most memorable 16hrs and 27mins of my life...
Maybe I'll jump up to the challenger at some point, who knows 🤔
Thanks for watching Martin... I'm really looking forward to tackling the challenger, I have a bit of a Pennine Way obsession. Interested to see how I deal with the fatigue and pushing myself over that distance. I know I can walk that far so it'll just be managing tiredness... Can't wait 😁
@@DeanRead although I did plenty of running during my training for the Sprint, it soon became apparent that from talking to previous spine racers that most of my time would be spent walking (and it was).
Getting out and walking/running sections in the dark that you expect to do in the dark on race day pays off as well.
Looking forward to watching the rest of your recce videos..
I've got some bigger days planned as the time goes on but definitely need some overnight training. I'm confident with Nav and I know the course well but tiredness may cloud my judgements 😁 Let me know if you have any more tips, I'm keen to learn from previous Spiners and Ultra Runners 👍
If you're not already, look to joint the "official spine group" on Facebook, an absolute font on knowledge form some very experienced people.
But getting the nav right will definitely save you a lot of time and faff. Also kit admin, knowing where everything is in your pack/drop bag. Everything you can do to reduce faffing around and therefore stress is a massive bonus..
I'm in the group 👍 definitely agree that it's a great place to hoover up some knowledge. I've been toying with what pack to take with me but will get out for some practice trips when I decide. Will look at the kit list again and do a big day with all required stuff with food/water.
Great vid as usual and I lobe that you always give a description of the surrounding areas. Without that I’d never know what was around even having seen the places I didn’t have a clue where they were so thanks dean.
P’s when in the Spine race that you’re hoping to enter
Thanks for watching Ed. The Summer Spine is in June next year so still plenty of time to train thankfully 😁
@@DeanRead I might come over to the start 👍🏻👍🏻 good luck with the training
Thanks Ed 👍
I've just been to Edale and Pennine way
It's ana amazing place, thanks for watching
Another good video. The go pro battery is desperately bad, thats why I went with the dji osmo action. The quality is as good as if not better than the gopro 8 black, but battery is much better
I agree, the battery on the GoPro isn't great to say they've had 10+ years to improve it and it doesn't last any longer than my old version 3. My Sony batteries last lots longer.
Beautiful Section with great views, often do it myself starting in Marsden, going over Black Hill, Torside Clough, Bleaklow, Devils Dyke and down the Roman Road, Doctors Gate Path into Glossop, love it you should try running up the Roman Road from Glossop good testing climb all the way. Anyway another nice video, you got lucky with the weather, what Day was it, cheers.
Thanks for watching Mark, I've only ever gone down the path to Glossop from Doctor's Gate. I can imagine that would be a good test while running 😁
nice vid again mate - still in tockdown here in vietnam ! wish i could be outside like you....
Thanks for watching Bilbo, hopefully you'll be out of lockdown before 100 & 11th birthday 😁👍
@@DeanRead hahaha as soon as i get out im going to run 100,000 steps by the river in the city where i am -im thinking of filming it as well - i will keep you posted about that !
Excellent, enjoy. Any sign of when that might be?
@@DeanRead waiting for the 15th August next update from the Viet Government - keep you updated !
Fingers crossed for you
I like that you are using public transport. When we used to visit the Bakewell area, I got the bus schedule booklet and spent many hours thinking about how you would get from point A to point B using public transport. Even the last time we were there staying in Millers Dale, 2018, we took the bus from Millers Dale to Litton and then walked down to Cressbrook and then one day we parked in Tadington and took the bus into Derby to go to the Royal Derby Factor. I looked and you could have taken the bus from Hadfield to Sheffield instead of the train and it says it would be quicker. Is there a reason you are sticking to the trains?
Hi Stephen thanks for watching. There are so many options at this stage of the route, perhaps not as we get further north. We chose the train as we live near Dore Totley station and it's a longer walk from Sheffield itself. From memory the bus was sporadic on the Sunday that we did the route too as I'd looked at getting it from Crowden rather than Hadfield.
Hi Dean, hoping to walk the Pennine Way next year so I'm really fascinated by these videos. I've always wondered why the trig point at Black Hill is shown as 'soldiers lump' on the map, any ideas?
Thanks for watching Maurice, I hope you have a great time when you walk the Pennine Way. I'm sure I read somewhere that the name 'soldiers lump' is to do with the royal engineers, they were the ones originally tasked to do the mapping for the ordnance survey. Don't quote me on that though 🤣
@@DeanRead Thanks, that makes sense, I'm sure there's a great story lurking behind the name, (maybe even a Hollywood blockbuster starring Tom Hanks!!). Good luck with the rest of the
runs.
Haha 🤣 I think you're right, it would make a good story
Love the end of the video we’re you recap every thing very nice. I looked in the description hoping to see which hydration jacket your both wearing there was no info on them could you enlighten me please which your have on ?
Thanks for watching. I'm wearing a Harrier Kinder 10 litre pack and Stef is wearing a Harrier Curbar 5 litre. I can highly recommend them, Kate at Harrier has thought of everything you could need. Also, it's a local business too as they are from Derbyshire.. win win 👍
@@DeanRead arr fantastic I will give them a look I do like that there a local business too as I’m in the midlands too. Thank you
@@DeanRead love there bundles thanks for the recommendations I was after shoes too they may have what I need also thanks
Excellent, you won't regret the purchase from Harrier... I should really sort out getting commission 🤣🤣 haha
What happened with part 3?
Thanks for watching, we had a house move and my partner plays hockey at weekends in autumn and winter so that has scuppered our plans to continue
Ive only just found out that the Pennine Way and Pennine Bridleway are two different things🙄 I bet you never thought you would be running it this time round after walking it last time, are you still doing the PB diet ?
Good luck.
I certainly never thought I'd be attempting to run it now, a long way to go fitness wise but feel like I'm in a good place to try at the moment. Still doing the PB diet, no turning back for me. 4 1/2 years in and I feel better than ever 👍😎 Thanks for watching
@@DeanRead The wicked wrap was a good clue!
They are really nice, perfect mid run snack 😁
I can't see a Part 3 dean?
We got distracted with other things sadly and Stef plays hockey for 6 months over autumn / winter. We'll be back at it again soon hopefully. Thanks for watching
@@DeanRead No problem! Are you still doing the Challenger and planning to do any filming on the race? I did the Challenger last time (2020) just before lockdown and will be there over the weekend for the full Spine on Sunday!
Yeah we are still doing the summer challenger, will take the GoPro 👍
@@DeanRead Nice! good luck.
Thanks Luke. Lost my running mojo a little when the clocks changed but attempting to get back at it again now 😁
Dean did I see you in the borrowdale this weekend with your daughter wildcamping? I’m sure it was you lol
Sadly not, I was out camping near Sherwood Forest and then running in the Peak District today 👍 hope you had a great time
@@DeanRead he was your double 😂👌🏽 I’m gonna be camping up around bamford edge this weekend maybe see you out if your out ✌🏽💚🏕💪🏽
@@shaunlindop1242 I'll be out this weekend but not sure where yet, enjoy 👍
