  • Hi, We are Elaine, Darren, Max.
    As soon as we are able, we will drive our Ford Transit
    self-build campervan to our little house and land in Central Portugal.
    In the meantime we continue to enjoy things here in the UK, and we get a lot of enjoyment from sharing them with you.
    In this video we do the Low Force to High Force Waterfalls walk. We have lived in this part of the world most of our lives but have never done this walk before. We will certainly do it again. We truly hope you enjoy the video.
    Thanks so much for watching and most importantly don forget to give this video a like, and subscribe if you haven't already.
    If you would like to support our channel further, maybe you would like
    to buy us a coffee, we do hope that maybe one day soon we can
    do the same for you.

    Beautiful scenery. Love the stone buildings and stone walls. What a beautiful terraced waterfall. So brave to cross the bridge. Can you just imagine the history around these special serene places. Wonderful these places are protected and maintained for the public. Perfect spot for a picnic. Isn't it so much fun to be young and retired. What a lovely day you had. Safe Driving! All the Best! - Vanessa

      Good morning Vanessa, I'm so happy that you enjoyed the video.
      It was a lovely trip away and just showed you don't have to travel far for a total escape.
      You are right about the area being well looked after, the first bridge, we crossed, was over 200 years old and a plaque told a sad story of how the original bridge had failed after many years and 3 local workers plunged into the river below!
      Thank you again, Elaine

      Have a good week, Elaine

    Ah! Travel Scrabble ❤️ such memories you invoke, and the colour of the water, peat stained, ❣️ I just loved your day out. 👍

      @PensionersinPortugal  Před 3 lety +2

      Hello Jane, glad you enjoyed our day out too.
      Yes the water was like rushing cola, tumbling over the rocks. Max seemed to really enjoy it!
      Darren and I thought your latest video was excellent, I may be asking you lots of questions about food storage when we eventually get to producing some of our own.
      Take care, Elaine

      I noticed the peat stained water, I remember wondering why that colour when I was in Scotland, Greetings from New Zealand, winter here but still pretty warm.

      I do enjoy Middleton, but my heart is in Weardale really.
      I hope you get your dream, but wow the prices there now are wild!

    That walk was stunning and the waterfalls were magnificent. Great that you are staying in England for hottest part of the summer. The Indie Project are finding the heat in Portugal very hard to take while working. Thanks for sharing your lovely adventures. Looks more like Maxx taking you two for a walk.

    • @PensionersinPortugal
      @PensionersinPortugal  Před 3 lety

      Good morning Ivy, hope you are well.
      Max loved this walk, as he loves all of them.
      Yep, it just doesn't feel right to travel at the moment, not because we're worried to catch anything, but many friends in Portugal are just starting their covid jabs.
      Take care, Elaine

    Hi! Loved all the different scenery, you captured both the force and calm of the water. Music spot on as always. Today's best: That sheep had a lockdown haircut 🤣 Looks like you got summer over there, picnic in short-sleved T-shirt! Thanks for this vlog!! All the best/Katarina

      The day out fab and flowing water is always a winner, summer has arrived in quite stark contrast to long, cold spring. How's it fairing for you?

      Evening Brenda, glad you enjoyed and it felt like you came along, that's great!
      Max did have to do a bit of Hippy, Hippy shake to get through and refused to try it on way back!
      The park up we found on park4 night, not too much further along the road. We had it all to ourselves until walkers started pulling in from about 8cm. We'll definitely use it again.

      Good morning Van Grandad, love the name!
      Thank you for watching and your lovely comments.
      The walk is roughly 6 kilometres from the Bowlees car park and back.
      Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues, as the path varies in height and quality alot, but otherwise excellent. Loads of places to stop and take in the views, plenty of space to watch the river and some amazing wildlife, especially birds if you into that...
      We took a snack and our time and it took 4 hours, we had the weather too, so it was fabulous day.
      I really hope you do it, thanks again for watching, Elaine
