Video #100 – YouTube Trailer

This is my 100th YouTube Video, It will also double up as my Channel Trailer. It is a collection of footage from the last few years which hold some great memories for me. there is snippets from walks in the Peak District, adventures in the Lake District, The West Highland Way in Scotland and also a few from local walks or rides. I had so many memories and footage to choose from I had to be pretty strict.

I knew I had to attempt to pull something out of the bag for this one so I have also layered it all over a Drum & Bass Remix I made especially for the video. I use a sample from the Gladiator Soundtrack from the track “The Wheat”, you may also notice I have included a quick remake of that scene towards the start of this movie. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

Peak Routes Podcast – Episode 9 – Win Hill & Hope Cross in the Snow

Episode 9 of the Peak Routes Podcast features a walk in some excellent wintery conditions. I headed to Win Hill & Hope Cross in the Snow, it was a stunning day and I had great fun creating lots of media to share. I started at the Yorkshire Bridge Inn at Ladybower in the Peak District. I then head up to the top of a windswept Win Hill and through the snow drifts to Hope Cross. I then forge may way down through the forest and back along the banks of the Ladybower reservoir.
