What beautiful, I mean, glorious... scenery! 🙂 Where I live it's flat, flat, flat. About 300 miles minimum to any kind of (even small) mountains. I'm enjoying watching this whole series, even if I am two years late.
That is what I like an old fashioned carpenter who measures in feet & inches. What a "Gorgeous" gate like you would see in a model village. I enjoyed the lager with you. Well done that man. Stay safe my friend.
Sophie and I (the cat) enjoyed watching you. Your passion for life and enjoyment of nature are captivating. When you said you had a choice of path, immediately I said, 'take the left' it looked more interesting. Great work. Enjoy the beer 🍻😸📷🤗
Hi Heather I’m really pleased you and Sophie are enjoying the videos. I’m a real cat person and so give her a hug and a stroke from me. Stay safe and best wishes 🍺🍺
Good choice of track to find that nice little falls. Part of the walk is to find places to stop and appreciate for a few minutes. You deserved the beer(s).
Cheers Mark, I’ve been back up in the lakes for the last 2 weeks and the weather has been fantastic. Warm but not silly hot and incredibly foggy mornings. It’s been an absolute joy to photograph Take care bud and I hope you’re well 🍺
Hi Anne, The beer was the best beer I’ve ever tasted. It wasn’t but it certainly felt like it 😂 Thanks for watching and I’ll see you again on Saturday for part 4 👋
Said it before ....nutter ,mad as a box of frogs 😅 Those cows were just gawgus ,how can ya not love'em 🤗 I'm almost envious of you ,whata fabulous way to spend some "you"time 👌
Nice walk Darren. When I used to paraglide in the Welsh mountains all day. First drink in the pub was a pint of ice cold coke. Gets the system going before the beer and food. Always worked for me.mate. Great watch and looking forward to the next part.
It looks like John kelly abandoned the attempt on day 3, just after he met you? just saying. Such an inspiring series, makes me want to walk in the lakes. Only been once many years ago. I think I could be returning in 2022. The receptionist is probably used to seeing people in all sorts of states, mostly wet. That pint looked soooo good ! Take care Darren.
It’s a stunning location Darthnog. I’m currently sitting on top of a fell in perfect temperatures just overlooking the Langdales. It’s no good for photography but it’s good for the soul. Take care mate and hope to bump into you in 2022 🍺🍺
This is such fun traveling along with you through the beautiful ;-) countryside! BTW, I was amused to hear you say about 2.5 minutes in that you were going to get out of Dodge. My husband’s parents lived in Dodge City (yes, that one) for many years. I’ve gotten out of Dodge often! Looking forward to the next episode. I almost feel like I’m hiking along with you.
I wish you was hiking with me Kathleen as you could have carried the rucksack 😉 I’m really pleased you’re enjoying the videos as it’s also nice for me to look back on. I’m back in the Lakes as I type this and Helen and I are about to hike Harrison Stickle today. It will all make sense in the next video, but today is going to be a very special day for us both. Stay safe and have a lovely day 🍺
LOL! I doubt I could lift that rucksack. It looks bigger than I am. I’m impressed that you’re carrying it all those miles. I hope you and Helen have a lovely time. I’m looking forward to the next installment.
Oh, and as for alternatives to beautiful? Try pulchritudinous? I must say though that the word beautiful is not a word that can be overused or misapplied. The word that I think I is way overused on other walking vlogs is the word ‘stunning’! Just way overused. Stick with ‘beautiful’. 😂
Thanks for a great watch Darren - Just one thing mate, if you're going for that "Ice Cold In Alex" moment you have to down the first pint (like John Mills in the film)) in one go !! 🍻 🥵
Great fun video. I don’t understand how it works in the UK…I’m always seeing you guys open gates and climbing over “laddered” stone fences. I’m from Ontario Canada and we don’t do things like that unless we’re trespassing. Is it all public land? And so clean. We have empty Tim Hortons paper cups littered everywhere
Hi Leigh, Yes the vast majority of the UK is public land unless marked as private. The gates are there just to stop livestock from straying. Sometimes there’s “right of way” footpaths that go through peoples gardens. Regarding clean:- yes our country side is remarkably clean, however………due to more staycations, certain idiots don’t respect the country side and it’s quite sad, but they are in the minority (thank goodness) but the vast majority of people are very respectful and take their rubbish home or even pick up others (I did it tonight). Thanks for watching, take care and stay safe 👋
Loving these videos, Darren, and great to meet you on Tuesday evening. Guess you are still chasing the shot you were after so you have an excuse to go back there. Also, many thanks for the tip for the sunrise shot. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip.
The current Wainwright record is all 214 in just under 6 days, by a vet called Sabrina Verjee. Nice episode again Darren, we're up there in a couple of weeks for a bit of walking, can't wait... 👍
Hi Andy, I’m currently here at the moment but the weather has been shocking today so we’re having a relaxing van day. The weather is picking up on Monday and so hopefully you’re in for a treat. Take care bud 🍺
Loving this series Darren. Your instructions and commentary as you come across the various gates - brilliant. What a lovely spot to take a rest by the waterfall. You earned that beer. Looking forward to next weeks adventure.
Hi Roger, Yeah it’s the Garmin mini GPS. I spend a lot of time hiking alone without signal and so I thought it was time to invest in one. Take care bud 🍺
Hi Darren, I saw that the video was quite a long one so I made a cuppa and settled down to watch it on the TV, it was quite beautiful 😂😂. Had to laugh you and cows. The last part of the video where you were in Great Langdale looking at the Pikes I have stood in that same spot a few times, and you mentioned the campsite, I have dragged out my camping gear and I have booked 3nights at the Great Langdale campsite on the 7th September. So your video has really wetted my appetite for going up there can't wait, it's been a great series of videos Darren really enjoyable good on ya mate.Looking forward to seeing the views in the next video.
Hi Kev, That’s fantastic news, I hope you have a great time. It’s quite wet here at the moment but next week the weathers about to turn and so I’m looking forward to getting out with the camera again. Plus the Heather is out which always makes for good foreground Take care mate 🍺
Loving this series, mate. Just curious to know if the overnight stop was at Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel? I am looking to book it as a base for a few days. What are your thoughts on the hotel? Looking forward to Part 4. Cheers, Nigel
Hi Nigel, I stayed at the New Dungeon Ghyll not the Old. And so I can recommend the New. It’s not the Hilton but it’s clean, the foods pretty good, good bar, beer garden and it’s a great location. Make sure you enter from Skelwith as it’s an easier drive in. The other entrance is tight and a bugger at times I think the distance between the new and old is about 500 meters, but have a quick Google. I hope that helps mate and enjoy your trip 🍺🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto thanks Buddy. Heading up to Blea Tarn and LongMoor Fell on Tuesday for the day, so I think I'll do a reccy while I'm up there. Cheers for your thoughts on the hotel

I'm loving these videos. I enjoyed that larger with you and I don't even drink 🤣 can't wait for next week.

Yeah I get that. I was just craving a thirst quenching ice cold drink, it just so happened I had beer 😉
Take it easy bud and stay well 🍺

Cheers Neil,
That’s very kind bud and I’m pleased you’re enjoying the videos. 🍺
You can't beat a decent shower and cold pint after a long walk!
I felt brand new Karl 🍺
Kelly didn’t make it. Quit later that day. Heatwave not the best conditions for a six day run!
Loving this series Darren.
Oh, and as for alternatives to beautiful? Try pulchritudinous? I must say though that the word beautiful is not a word that can be overused or misapplied. The word that I think I is way overused on other walking vlogs is the word ‘stunning’! Just way overused. Stick with ‘beautiful’. 😂
Yeah I know Ian, I googled his progress the following morning and found out he retired. Not surprising due to the heat.
Have a great weekend matey 🍺
Thanks for a great watch Darren - Just one thing mate, if you're going for that "Ice Cold In Alex" moment you have to down the first pint (like John Mills in the film)) in one go !! 🍻 🥵
Hi John,
I could have necked it in one quite easily but with a 20 minute wait at the bar I wanted to make it last 😂
Stay well matey 🍺
Well Darren that was a beautiful 🤣🤣 vlog hope you are ok Burt

Take care and stay well 🍺
very good .loosing weight for the gates was a bonus LOL . good luck day 4 . BTW what is the orange unit on the shoulder .GPS ? or ------------?
Hi Roger,
Yeah it’s the Garmin mini GPS. I spend a lot of time hiking alone without signal and so I thought it was time to invest in one.

I was just wondering if you could have cleared that wall should the bull have attacked .... 😎
I would have run through it Paul 😂
