A slightly different vlog this week, since YouTube seems to be failing for us and us not being willing to change the way we film or exaggerate thumbnails to chase views we’ve decided to return to the ethos of “film what we want and if you the viewer watch then great” this could mean the occasional longer video that includes sections that may not interest everyone.
I (Rick) no longer want to chop stuff out if it interests me but doesn’t exactly fit our style so this is a bit self indulgent as we explore a disused railway before our “normal” vlog later in the day.
We find hidden railway secrets in Rowsley which were in plain sight but we’ve never noticed before on previous visits, this is from an initial discovery we made when we cycled the Monsal Trail and explored Bakewell recently. Please note, where any photos inserted that are not my own have been used every attempt has been made to find or credit the owner, if you can provide ownership information please let me know before reporting any copyright infringement and I’ll credit or remove.
A video link to a look inside the tunnel with Martin Zero.

33:45 Outro and summary
We're Rick, Heather & our dog Poppy & we travel the U.K. in our S&L Apollo campervan.
We film places we visit & also any work done to our van, our videos are filmed in a diary style for our memories but we're happy to share with you if you want to watch.
We also occasionally review products & any product review is clearly marked as such so if reviews aren’t for you don’t feel you need to watch those.
We do basic site & the surrounding area reviews but they’re a guide only based on our opinions which may or may not help you make a decision on if you’d like the place.
We do a mix of off grid camping, pub stopovers & campsites too, hopefully something for everyone to enjoy!
Please leave us a comment on the videos, we read them all & reply to each one.
We upload weekly so please consider subscribing to see our travels, it’s free and will really help us.
Thanks for watching!
