296: Brindley Heath and RAF Hednesford (Cannock Chase 2026)

CANNOCK CHASE WALK FEATURING BRINDLEY HEATH AND RAF HEDNESFORD "Brindley Heath and RAF Hednesford” Filmed 25th April 2026 Post-production completed 11th May 2026 I present the third of four films I shot in Cannock Chase in April 2026. There are two parts to the walk in this film. The first part follows most of the RAF Hednesford Trail, a circular walk around a former RAF Second World War training camp. The second part is around the lovely Brindley Heath, one of several military heritage sites at Cannock Chase. Filmed in the Cannock Chase in the county of Staffordshire. Locations include Brindley Heath and RAF Hednesford. Written, presented, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach. Special thanks to Cannock Chase National Landscape for his information used in my research for this film. Click here for a map showing the route of the walk: https://explore.osmaps.com/route/2647...

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard. Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories. If you are new to my YouTube channel, I strongly recommend reading the description on the home page, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films:    / solitaryrambler   There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about:    / solitaryrambler   DISCLAIMER: Although I work hard to ensure all information is correct to the best of my knowledge, I am only featuring information I have found online and/or in books during my research when putting this film together, so I cannot guarantee that there are no mistakes or errors.
