    I have sat on the exact same bench numerous times before and had my bait and I do not know what it is about the clouds up there but they are always amazing. Lovely to see the sun and the heather too and took by kids and grandkids to the summit of Roseberry Topping so many times and it is always a great view but normally a lot busier. I cannot wait for those summer days to come back again, cheers Alan

      thank you Alan. Hope you and Mrs Metalman are having a lovely time in Glenridding (a wonderful spot). it’s nice that we both have so many fond memories of Roseberry. I’ll never tire of her, I have a hike planned in Danby tomorrow but I might just change it to give her an overdue revisit!

    Well you certainly can't beat a hike that starts and finishes at a train station. No need for free parking and figuring out where. It's looked like a good starter hike for this year with a bit of elevation but not too much. Quite a variety of views and almost in need of machete. Even Homer Simpson was at the trig...DOH. A super hermit friendly looking hike 👍

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi Paul we filmed it back in July but is a great one to do to get back out! Did a hike yesterday that was so wet and muddy it took us forever and was hugely exhausting and mind taxing to just try and stay up right 🤣 good spot on Homer! hope you are having a nice weekend 👍

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks so much Donna just found out about its name after someone else asked in the comments! The name Roseberry Topping derives from Othenesberg, Old Norse for the hill of Odin, named by the Scandinavian invaders. The initial “R” arose from the village of Newton-under- Roseberry, with alliteration of the “r” of “under”. Toppinn is Old Norse for hill. This became Anglicised into Topping. Just in case you wanted to know 🤣

    When I walked the Cleveland Way last year there could have been a rave at top of Roseberry with the amount of folk .was a bank holiday though. Much easier to walk up than it looks. I had a lovely time sitting on the bench just through the gate from Cleveland Way chatting to folk .filming and scoffing the food in my backpack.

Outstanding picnic spot and you gave us details of your sandwich filling (glad to say Steven also provided this information in his film today). Why did they paint the Trig Point? Outstanding Gate Of The Week (so glad it’s back). This is the second FIVE STAR FILM I’ve given tonight ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Both Steven & yourselves are an inspiration to us lesser mortals. ❤️

      you and me both Ervin. I get very nervous walking in the summer, particularly in England where so many pathways are overgrown. We have the Adder in our parts, a venomous snake that like all snakes, likes the long grass. it’s no fun gambling with your life through these overgrown sections and then spending half your evening picking nasty ticks off that have joined you on your hike! but it is worth it for those amazing colours and views. hope your having an amazing weekend!

    Great to see a classic GENX hiking video 😍 It had all the ingredients that make your videos so much fun with gate of the week and trig dances (can't believe that graffiti ) but absolutely loved the reenactment of th Wizzard of Oz 😎😍😁 Nice to see a reminder of last summer with lots of wild flowers and even a butterfly though hate fighting my way through the dreaded bracken. Roseberry topping (love that name ) looking good as ever 😎 Loved it 🤗🤗xx

    A great hike, it does look an easier way to reach Roseberry Topping than from the car park, albeit a longer route. I feel sorry for the person who gets the job of painting the trig point every year :) what a job! I'm not keen on being nettled either, hayfever tablets will help stop the itching of a stinging nettle rash btw.

      ah that’s good to know about hay fever tablets. thank you Andy. you did amazing with that direct route from the car park. I’ve only done it that way about a dozen times and never once was it easy. probably the easiest, with the least ascent and most gradual is from the free Gribdale Car Park. your already about 600 foot up and you can make it a circular by taking in the farm where Cook worked. very picturesque.

    Cracking round that Nick (lots of gate and swooping action 😃🙏🏼)
    Nice that it starts from the train station (definitely cuts out the car parking hassles)
    But the Cleveland Hills did look cool from Roseberry topping 🏔️
    Nice one enjoyed that 👍🤠

    @novicehiker Před 5 měsíci +1

    I love this walk although I did it the other way round (Roseberry Topping first). I think doing Captain Cook first is a smart idea. Watching your video I am very tempted to do this one again soon, it's such a nice walk. I hate the overgrown bits too, I always wear trousers as I'm a nettle wimp, but then end up boiling in the summer! Love seeing you two out and about hiking, you always look so happy even after all those climbs. Enjoy the hiking, Nick and Jill. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures and for another brilliant video.

      Hi Dara love that you think of a dessert when we mention Roseberry Topping! Great question though here is G’s answer ‘The name Roseberry Topping derives from Othenesberg, Old Norse for the hill of Odin, named by the Scandinavian invaders. The initial “R” arose from the village of Newton-under- Roseberry, with alliteration of the “r” of “under”. Toppinn is Old Norse for hill. This became Anglicised into Topping.’ We too learnt something new today! Have a great week 💖

    Soon the farmland turn to deep lively green and filled with offsprings I bet. I guess no raccoons are begging for food on the trail, right? hahah
    It is very pleasant hiking trail with some art on the trig..hahah what happened to hiker's motto, NO TRACE BEHIND???
    haha I am happy to see yo back on the trails...Once we have warm weather, we will need to start to hike...footage shortage hahahahh

    Well that was a quickie for sure, with three gates if I can count correctly! Loved the lovely walk up and steep one down and then through the nettles...and did you say tic? Hope not! Now I wasn't sure but that Captain Kirk...was it the one from Star Trek or another one....which brings me on to an invite to an upcoming Collaboration that I am doing to be announcing pretty soon....May the Fourth ~ May the Force Be With You ...over the years I've made it a crossover event with artist of different genre's but I thought I'd step it up a notch and include all my CZcams friends because as you've proved to me with the Steam punk week there's always a way to weave Anything into a video...so what do you think about it? Would you be interested and can you think of anyone that I possibly wouldn't know to include in this collaboration...usually the videos are the most 20 minutes...I'm going for a day of fun...of course I wouldn't expect you to be at all the premiere's but it would be fun to watch a few I would think...and the playlist would be awesome! Be on the lookout for my announcement video coming soon! Hugs~

I also think the view across before you descend to the ascend Roseberry Topping. It’s always like an achievement to get to the top of Roseberry! You got a nice clear day with good visibility into the distance. A cracking walk and video! Hope you both have a lovely weekend. all the vert best, David & Rachel ❤️
