  • A Brew in The Woods at Delamere Forest

    Happy New Year all you lovely people. Thanks for your support and company in 2018 and I look forward to getting out there in 2019 and perhaps seeing you in person!

    I nipped out for a brew in the woods. If you can do that too, then I highly recommend it and leave your stresses behind, connecting with nature for a bit. I finished the vlog in the conservatory due to a bad video and sound production during my talk in the woods. Pitty  – as that was a much better dialogue than the take-two back at the Turnock towers! oh well, there’s always next time.

    Yeah, so 2018 was a busy year and no doubt 2019 will be but I fully intend to get out more in 2019 and get behind the camera and make more films to watch when I’m too old to get out.

    Let’s make 2019 a healthy one. I don’t mean down at the gym but just get out and hike or at least watch what you put in thy gob! Keep tabs on this channel as I will lose a few stones in 2019 and will be blogging about the outdoors and just how losing a few pounds is easy with a mindset fix. Possibly, the odd wild camp, a few photos and some history along the way.

    Oh yes, it will include the odd bit of music too. You can always turn the sound down a bit or better – turn it up with headphones to catch the intended baselines and ambiance. The Music on this video is FergoPeaks from my creations on the PeakBeatz Album and along with maybe another will be in my new short film “Life Of Pie”. Probably a bit weird but has a hidden message. 20 Great channels shout out via the kettle drum were :

    Music created using Akai MPK both live and virtual loops recorded including some real instruments using various tools, Digital Audio Workstation & tools, drum machines, synthesizers & MPC etc. Basically, a lot of messing about and learning on the fly until it sounds something like the tune in my head.. most skills of which I forget and have to start over next time!

  • The Lost Villages of Ashopton and Derwent

    The Lost Villages of Ashopton & Derwent in the Peak District is the destination – plus a little of The Dam Busters, Monks and Abandoned Farmsteads and some hot chicken soup thrown in for good measure.

    The Peak District, as with many other places that are right under your local nose, is full of fascinating history – from recent times to as far back as the end of the last ice age. Apart from the beauty of the place, if you only look twice you can find some great evidence. We are really a bit Johnny come lately aren’t we, when you just stop to think that your very footsteps were walked 10,000 years ago or maybe that pile of rocks you stepped on to tie up your boot laces, were put there to clear a field 4,000 years ago or indeed that prehistoric rock art that was etched 6000 years ago.

    One particular place I am interested in is the more recent history of the Upper Derwent and the lost villages of Derwent and Ashopton which were submerged following the construction and flooding to form Ladybower Reservoir in the 1930’s. [Read More…]
