Snowdon up the miners path
มุมมอง 56วันที่ผ่านมา
during a weeks holiday to Wales, we had a walk up Snowdon , this was my second trip up to the summit, firstly on my e bike, we set off from pen y pass carpark with the intention of doing either the miners or pig path, we chose the miners as there looked like more water supplies on this route , this was to help keep the dog hydrated and hopefully cooler, the microphone on my go pro seems to be p...
Snowdon on E bike
มุมมอง 23121 วันที่ผ่านมา
my first time in Snowdonia, me and some of my mates decided to bike up Snowdon, please consider that this route isn't a flat track ride, the go pro i use to video this tends to make everything look flat and smooth, i can assure you it isn't, there is some rough technical climbing and descending, and our bikes are easily capable of this type of ride, we parked in Llanberis and went up the Llanbe...

a great route to tick off 3 wainwright hills in the lake district, some great views to be had from the whole route making it a pleasurable walk, route taken starts at patterdale hotel carpark, i always use this one when walking or wildcamping in the area.
Lake District taster route
มุมมอง 1192 หลายเดือนก่อน
in my opinion a great route to get a feel of what the lake district has to offer, I'm by no means a skilled rider, this route has some great scenery and good mix of terrain to go at, unfortunately i had a few video files go corrupt and couldn't add them to this video, which is a shame as they were of the better descent on the route the gpx file for this route explore.osmaps.com/route/22157431/g...

a night wild camping in the lake district, at a small hard to reach tarn, great conditions , its getting harder to find good places away from the crowds in the lake district, so this is one of a couple out the way spots ive got on a small list of places to try.

a few days in Scotland, wild camping in the hidden valley of Glencoe, a walk up the devils staircase and onto stob mhic mhartuin, the weekend didnt all go as we had hoped due to events taking place is the areas we wanted to go, but definitely a place i really enjoy spending time.

while staying at a cottage at killin near loch Tay, we wanted to hike one of the Munros while there, ideally we wanted to do a loop including ben lawers, but weather was against us, anyone wanting to do any of these walks can download the gpx files of this and more route on, www.walkhighlands.co.uk/munros/beinn-ghlas this was the second Munro for me and i can say i really enjoyed this walk even...

Looks like a great route def will give it a go👍
On a clear day the views are really good
That looked like a cracking ride mate 🤙🏻
Cheers, It’s definitely one I’ll do again and maybe add helvellyn on
Good efforts on the techy sections mate 👍shame having to miss out Helvelyn....but you got a good day out and that's what it's all about 😊
Thanks, ive already done helvellyn a couple of times on an mtb, im hoping to get out on more rides like this, more of an explore than a set route 👍
Hi can i have gox please. The link in description is not working
explore.osmaps.com/route/21843684/skiddaw?lat=54.652745&lon=-3.175019&zoom=11.8755&style=Standard&type=2d
Try this mate, the link worked ok when i clicked on it
You picked the right day for it mate
Definitely mate, walked it later in the week and it was the same, amazing area
@@phillipbirchall7148your not wrong there mate
Did you use os maps to navigate? Class video mate
Yeah I use os maps to plot the route, save to my mobile app and garmin fenix watch then use both navigate,
@@phillipbirchall7148nice one, planning on doing it next week but that beginning part looks a bit of a pain. Looks easy to get lost
@@abbottsadventures it’s not the best but the is app on your phone will keep you right, it’s a walk I would like to do again, but I think I’ll take an extra day next time
That’s defo his dad
Did that ride a few years ago , scary descent .well worth the climb .
We enjoyed the whole ride, next time we go we know what to expect on that decent, so hopefully won’t be as slow haha
I like the Kepple cove route up and back down the same way
I recently went up kepple cove and went over to the Dodds and back down sticks pass , really enjoyed it, video will be on over the next couple days hopefully
Looks a great ride. I’ll be taking a few calmer lines in future, sat here with 2 broken ribs at 56 yr old. Easy to break bones as you get older and the pain seems worse😂
It was a good ride , and definitely one to take care on, hope your healed soon fella 👍
Brilliant video!
Thanks 👍
Hi mate loved the look of this ride, heading up to sky in August, do you happen to have the gpx for it still? 👍🏻
I’ll have a check see if I can find it 👍
explore.osmaps.com/route/22160959/broadford-loop
Thats the gpx file i downloaded from komoot,
Hell of a Trip out that fellas 👊🏻👊🏻
Cheers fella, get your bike ready and come with us next time 👍
Looked like a great camp, and some proper cooking too! 👍👍
Thanks, hopefully going to get better with the cooking side of it all 😂😂
Save me a sausage
Too slow, long gone haha
That;s why I love to watch video from Scotland... Amazing scenery my friend. Bravo!
Thanks, I’d really like to visit the Scottish highlands more, be amazing in winter conditions up some of those hills
Great video mate, where did you park your car and launch from, didn't quite make out whereabouts/what beach in your video where you paddled from and parked car. Great to see there's a little beach/shoreline on the Island you can leave Kayak, must pay a visit there this year 😀
Cogoyne national trust car park fella,
@@phillipbirchall7148 Cheers fella 👍 👌
Delighted you are enjoying our beautiful country. Hope to see you doing many more hills up here. Btw, it's ALWAYS windy in the Lawers group..😂
I wish i could visit the highlands more, im heading up to glencoe area this weekend, hoping to do some wildcamping , fingers crossed the weather forecast is right 😂😂😂
can you please share the route as this looks amazing, where did you park?
Hi , I just parked in hartsop, but that car park can get busy, as for route I don’t have a link to a gpx for this one as it’s a straight walk up from hartsop, just follow the path up to hayswater
Nice 1 👍
Thought it was a Ben Cathro video, LOL. Good job and the terrain not to crazy.
Hi. Scottish based rider here. That looks my cuppa tea so may try this when I'm down at Easter. What was your battery usage mate?
I think I used around 60% on this ride, it’s a nice route, I’ve done a few in that area all really good 👍
@@phillipbirchall7148 Thanks for that. I have a 900WH battery so that will ideal

Blowing a bit of a hooly. 😂. Have u got the GPX file for your route mate. Looks canny
Yeah mate, are you wanting it ? I’ll send it on Facebook messenger if you do mate
Looking forward to getting back out again soon Mr Birchall
It’s been a while mr Shipley haha
Wow amazing spot. Great video! It instantly brought back memories of my recent snowy retreat in the mountains. Liked and subscribed!
Thanks, this was my first time in the snow, but like spending time in the Lake District in all weathers, some amazing places to camp and hike
Looks great, just a bit more snow and you could've skied up and down - cheers, norway
I think a sledge might be my ability level haha, thanks for your comment
Kirk fell is great. Love the route straight up it from Wasdale Inn. Great winter trip out for you. Best wishes.
Ive not walked it from wasdale head, but ive heard its a nice walk, bit of a challenge haha
What language are they speaking?
Who ?
@@phillipbirchall7148 the people in the video
@@danielmccarthyy English, we are from the north east of England
Just subbed u mate. Good footage. Definitely looks an easier route up to Kirk Fell. The last time I was up there, I walked it from Wast Water, straight up the nose. Certainly wouldn’t like to do it with the big bag. 😂
Definitely not mate, I think beckhead will be a good spot, a couple lads from work are wanting to do a camp, that’s why we walked it yesterday
Looks a canny spot.
Enjoyed that but probably not as much as you ! That stew looked better than anything i can conjure in my own kitchen 😂 Keep getting out there 💚👍
Thanks, a couple of better TH-camrs inspired me to try the trangia, great bit of kit, thanks for your comment 👍
Did the exact same route, but in reverse, last year for my first trip to the Lakes, spent the night by Sprinkling Tarn...... Nice upload, thanks for the memories. ATB
Its a great area, both routes up are a nice walk with some scenic potential camping spots, thanks for your comment 👍
What camera are you using to video?
Im only using a GoPro 10 at the moment,
I have never been ,was worried might get 'lost in the mountains' but after seeing this i can rest easy ,the signposts were a nice surprise and seems like they'll be plenty of people to stop and ask directions if i get stuck lol :) ,cool video thanks for uploading .
The route we ended up doing was fairly straight forward, we originally intended coming back down over raise and sticks pass, explore.osmaps.com/route/19822400/helvellyn-ebike-route
Nice 1 lads !
First viewer..... your welcome..... very nice
Not a bad spot mate, apart from the crap some people leave behind
Great clear conditions.
It was a good day, if anything a bit too warm for me, but enjoyed it all the same, went camping after this walk
Go on Phil Lad !! 🤙🏼
Love going up Kirk fell from Wasdale head. Virtually straight up. Best wishes on the next.
Wasdale is the furthest part of the lakes from me, and thats the last area of the wainwrights for me to do, and that route up is on my list of ones to try, 👍
Lovely clear views on the tops. That's a nice trip out. best wishes on the next. New subscriber.
Thanks, Hallin is one of my favourite hills in the lakes, amazing views,
I camped there Tuesday night . Lovely spot and great video
Thanks, it’s a great hill for views, glenridding Dodd is another nice one in that area
Looked spot on that davvid 😂
Was spot on, another route ill be doing again
💕💖 💖 wonderful + magical ! L2
Looked fantastic, not sure I would get in that water though 😂😂
Im with you on this , but theses lads enjoy it,
Hope ya had a line on josh incase he took off down the water,like a racing stick with them big shoulders 😂😂
We put some stones in his pockets to stop him floating away 😂😂😂
Tell them the H&L is love it or hate it😂😂
Is this the mondraker crafty? I have 1...unreal bikes!! Done a few rides in the lakes and Scotland too in the Cairngorms...! Some on my page 👍
Yeah it’s a crafty R, I’ve had a couple mondrakers, great bikes, used to do more trail centres, just recently started heading over the lakes
@@phillipbirchall7148 great bikes...mimes the rr! Made for the lakes and big epics
@@shannonmtb just checked mine it the rr too haha 2022 version, ive got it mainly to ride over the lakes,

I was debating heading across there last week. Judging by how wet it looked I'm glad I didn't bother. Good effort, mind!
For all it was very wet , it’s wasn’t cold so still made for a good ride, I like this route, going to try the borrowdale bash soon see what that’s like
@@phillipbirchall7148 The Bash is always a good choice! Make sure you take in the Walla crag option.
@@shonaridley7170 don’t think walls is on the gpx I’ve got, I’ll look for one that includes it , thanks
Interesting route, you rode up iron Keld instead of down. Nice video. If ya wanna try my route look for the Single Boot trail on my channel. Thumbs up.
I’ve just recently got myself an e-bike, and want to do more rides in the lakes, I’ve walked most of it, but the bike takes you along different routes, really enjoy your videos mate, keep it up pal 👍👍
Me and my mate Rogd's made the climb from seathwaite. Great turnout..Lest we forget.
Nice ride. Thanks.
It was a great route, a bit gutted if didn't notice the camera was on the wrong angle sooner, a good excuse to do it again.
@@phillipbirchall7148 If I do anything more than hang a camera on the bike or one on my helmet it's just too intrusive for me. I stop enjoying the ride, that day and start to focus on the camera. I does look like a fun ride.
