- Hiking the Wainwrights - Season 1: Eastern Fells - Episode 4. Sheffield Pike, The Lake District
In this episode I dragged my pal Dina back out with me to show her the incredible views of Ullswater and around Glenridding from this little hill. The weather looked ominous and the views were shrouded for much of the walk but eventually they opened up at precisely the point in the walk that I'd hoped for.
There is a point that's a short stroll from Sheffield Pike itself that surely must be ranked up there with the world's top views!

Great hike out. Best wishes on your next adventure.
shes much more easy on the eyes ... and u must take her more around ... 😁😁😁
Really enjoyed this walk - lovely to see the changing weather conditions don't hamper your enjoyment of the fells. Dina is a great addition - very funny!
Thanks so much 😊 🙏
Love the humour you two share. Temporal slip indeed. 💫
I walked a lot of this with my Mum and Dad when I was young - you remind me of him - a giant military type man - very strong but with a gentle, kind and comic nature. I loved Dina in this I thought she was a real trooper. The views as ever are as breathtaking as anywhere.
Thanks for sharing. x
I'd love a walk with her 😉
Lol great video & walk. Excellent 👏
so true, shoot anymals only with your camera ❤🐻🦊🐗🦌❤
Entirely Wonderful!!! You both are So fun!!
So scenic. 😍 Keep bringing these videos. Yaa you talk a lot too. 😂
Rewatching this video, as I’m going to do some of this walk on Sunday. Great reference material, thank you.
Another cracking video. Great to see you have a bit of company. Keep up the great work and thanks for these videos, they really help me. 👍
I made the exact same joke about Nick Head, good to see another fine distinguished gentleman sharing the same very mature observation 🤟🏻
Great stuff!!
The “Waffle” is great. Fantastic videos 👍🏻
Another week, another triumph! Great viewing.
Another enjoyable escapade
Thanks for another great one!! We really love watching your videos of The Lakes. It gives us our fix in between visits. Ullswater is our favourite area and we have a painting of the view from Glenridding Dodd looking North, it is a stunning view. Keep up the good work. x
I've just discovered this" Awesome " ..and "Inspirational " video at 0400hrs in the early hours of Monday morning Glenn & Dina..." You're a " Hoot " Together you both lifted my " Spirits " so " High " I poured myself a " Good Measure of " Gin & Tonic "...( " To be honest that's all I had In my humble apartment." ) I am normally a " Real Ale buff "..I live alone...." Not by choice ...may I add.." well I have my 4 legged female companion...named " Princess " who is a loyal , loving , " German Shepherd." and we are " Inseparable now." ....'Till death do us part." " Anyhow the point I am trying to make Glen & Dina is I was feeling down and out with life in general...oops I can hear the " Dawn Chorus " " Wow now that feels " Magical "in my life at present...another plus from staying up late, is to watch this awesome video you both made.... I could " Reminisce and" smell the " Ferns and " Bracken " from my teens days in " Coniston" where I and my then cousin Larry were working on a New housing estate in the village,....".His Dad was a " Bricklayer " ..." My uncle Colin " ...and we laboured on him, carrying bricks and "gobbo "up a ladder with a " Hod " ...and onto a " board on the "staging platform " " And our reward for carrying out that " Arduous " task was a " Halfpenny " for every brick we carried in the Hod and placed onto a " Board" situ' on a " Platform."It was hard work keeping up because another bricklayer showed up.( " Don. ").." Sorry I have just poured another "Stiff measure " to be going on with,....and I just love your interactions and camaraderie ship you both excel in." Stick together as a unit...it makes for good viewing and I will sponsor you both and become a "Patreon for life."..Kind Regards ,"...Robert.x
There's always a little extra pep in your step Glenn, when delightful Dina is with you! Looking forward to the heather blossoming on the West Moors and Bodmin Moor soon. The damp weather should make those colours really pop! Another crackin' video, with those sumptuous views! 🙂👍
Thank you, appreciate it 😊
Nice video Glenn and it’s great to see you and your bint making each other smile. Thanks
Another great vid, really enjoying the series thank you. My wife and I did this the same way, plus Stybarrow that we'd missed on another walk. It's nice to see the walks as you've done a few the way we did them. Unfortunately the last of my cartilage in my left knee decided to give up coming down Dovedale from Rydal Head, taking us 3 hours to do the last 2 miles. So walking flat or going up is ok, but coming down becomes a problem after a time. So its risky for me to try very high tops now. We're watching the series together and it's like it's looking back at our walks. After watching the series we didn't realise how much we missed as we talk that much when out walking 🙂 Thanks again for sharing.
Another top video, thanks. Not done those fells in that sequence but I now feel like I have after watching this. Dina seems like a lovely lady and a good walker to boot - ideal!
Oystercatcher. Enjoyed your vid. I’m going there tomorrow.
Good work once more Glenn.You are getting better & better at providing a large dollop of escapism not to mention inspiration.Keep taking the Queer one, she's a total blast!!.Waffle on.......👍
Thanks very much, really appreciate that 😊 🙏
Inspired to do this walk yesterday and what views. Heron Pike and the walk down to Glenridding Dodd, perfect
Great walk marra 👏👏
Welldone you guys , such a pleasure to watch, love you new series, your both amazing, you should be so proud of yourselves, Thankyou
We've been watching your vlogs for a while now, just want to say we're really enjoying them and they're very helpful for when we plan our walks. Thanks and keep it up ☺️👍
Great Glen and Dina . Thsnk you. I’ve not done Hart Side and was trying to decide which route to do, so you have made my mind up.
🙏🙏
Thank you 😊 including Sheffield Pike and Glenridding Dodd makes it all worthwhile 👌
The most under walk Lake District is corpse road from through Mose dale by Mose dale cottage ! I walk it this week try it the view are stunning out the honey pot of the Lake District but next door Love the water fall inthe valley for private swim as well it so beautiful un no areas of the Lake District
On my way over on Sunday for the week again. Full tour of all areas via hotels as it’s the better half’s birthday. Can’t wait to be back to see what walks i can do this time. Great video I’ll have to do this at some point. Looks lovely and green.
Oh the bit left around the farm has changed. You used to walk right through the garden which felt really weird.... Changed for the better. It's a beautiful route and the views from Glenridding Dodd can be absolutely stunning, of it's not raining 🙈
Great, fun, video Glenn, that’s a fab route🙌🏼 I love Heron Pike and the views from Glenridding Dodd 😍 Well done, smiling 😊
I was up there back in early July on a fantastic clear day. I went via Greenside mines, Sticks Pass, Stybarrow Dodd & then Hart Side. Then same route as you via Sheffield Pike to Glenridding Dodd except I went down into the village. That was definitely an Oystercatcher at the end ! Great video & Dina seems a right laugh
Watching these makes me want to do them all again 🙏👍
Thank you 😊
Pretty much did this route in reverse 2 weeks ago, was very enjoyable!
Another great video
Another excellent walk 🚶♂️ love your companion adding to the whole concept of a video vlog 😀 beautiful scenery lovely area around Patterdale & Glenridding 😁👍you donthe lakes proud mate 😁👍
Thanks very much, really appreciate that 😊 🙏
Sheffield Pike, classic 👌
Great countryside, real good fun company (i should have had a Dina of my own), shame abut the weather.
Dinas a great little hiker ! !
Another fabulous walk, thank for your filming. You may be interested in the earthy smell you refer to, usually after summer rain is known as petrichor stems from microscopic streptomycete bacteria in the soil that produce a compound called geosmin.
Keep up filming
Best wishes
Dave
Nerd 😊
Just come across your channel, very informative keep up the great work.
Another informative walk really enjoying the series and some of the lesser known of the Wainwright’s
Thanks very much, glad you liked it 😊
I’ll have to do a similar route soon to get hartside also….tricky little bugger that it is
Great stuff mate, enjoyed it
Thanks buddy 😊
What a treat 👍👍👍😎👏
Thanks mate 😊
The views look amazing there so peacefull being in the outdoors only just started hiking again been a big help.
Climbed Sheffield & Glenridding from YHA Helvellyn in late May this year - the most horrendous weather so it was good to see what the summits looked like
wonderful, look forward to the next installment.
Thanks very much 😊
Another great video and views to match
Thank you 😊
Loving this new series👍
You have inspired me to do my own videos and channel climbing hills as Summitbagger , which I hope to add to. Another great video.
Loving the new series, looking forward to seeing the rest!
Thank you 😊
Another fantastic video! Absolutely loving this series I look forward to it every week and is great evening viewing, also you are my favourite TH-camr 🤙👍 keep up the fantastic videos you deserve to have 10x the channel it is all the best James 🍻
Ah, thank you, that's very much appreciated 😊 🙏
Fantastic video and a really good route. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you 😊
Great video Glenn you two work well together keep them coming 👍
Thank you 😊
Well you wouldn’t have realised this is the summer that England has experienced a heatwave by watching this video. The Lakes looks as green and lovely as usual. I’m finding this series of films to be great fun and really hope you’re enjoying making them. 👍🏻
Thanks very much, appreciated as always 😊 yes, enjoying making them very much. I do wish I could do this full time one day 🤞
@@BlackCrag I hope you can too Glenn 🤞
Just found you and loving the walks😀 thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much, great to have you on board 😊🙌
Top notch Sir, really enjoying this series.
I'm back in the lakes in December and can't wait.
All the best, she's a star 🌟.
Thanks very much 😊
Nice one mate, top walk.
Thanks very much 😊
Cracking stuff as always. Really enjoying this series and looking forward to all 214 summits. You mentioned how still it was. During my one time on Sheffield Pike it was without doubt the strongest wind I have ever experienced. Me and my wife could not stand, we literally crawled across the summit and into relative shelter on the other side. Happy days! Loved the bit when Dina disappeared then popped up again. She is funny. Hope Finn is still able to get out for some of the shorter walks.
Thanks very much 😊 those difficult days are always the most memorable! Finn joins me on the final 2 walks 🙌
Really enjoying the series and the “simplified” filming etc. Looking forward to watching the seasons change also with later walks, almost like a year in the life of the lake district.
Thanks very much 😊 I'm looking forward to that contrast too. It's going to be interesting filming them 🤔😂
Great vlog Glenn! Really enjoying the new format, very happy for the drone to stay at home. Nice having Dena joining you and hopefully Finn in the near future. Roll on next Thursday 🙂
What in the Dickens is Neil Pritchard on about?Some of the Cumbrian Wafflers footage is second to none, especially for a relative amateur.The drone has its place just like all Blag Crags other components that make it such a compelling watch.Oh! Have I droned on abit?I'll leave the waffle to Glenn😁
Did a similar route this time last August and had glorious weather, we were lucky, great area though 👌👍🏔
I'm hoping to catch a bit of heather in a couple of week's time🤞🏻🤞🏻 💜
Thanks!
Thank you SO much, that's very kind of you 😊🙏
Another great video, thanks mate. Never thought of taking this route up but will definitely be having a look.
I took me me little 5 y/o lad up to Glenridding Dodd for first Wainwright a few months ago, loved it. He’s since done Walla as well and we’ll be camping on Hallin in a couple of weeks. Stay blessed sir✌🏼.
Thanks very much 😊 what a great fell for a young un's first 👌
Great video, even with the mist the fells are so atmospheric even if you don't always get the views. Heading up to the lakes again next month and can't wait. Skiddaw via Longside edge is one on my list, not done that route before. One of your previous videos has inspired me to try it. Looks amazing!
Thanks very much 😊 hope you get the views up on Longside Edge, they're spectacular!
@@BlackCrag sounds brilliant, thanks!
Another great video. Did a variation of this route back in June from Yha Helvellyn. Bagged Whiteside and Raise before these and finished with some well earned pints in the travellers rest.
Thanks very much 😊
Thank you for yet another great video. I was wondering why Dina had such a big backpack and after seeing the contents, I'm still wondering 😀
Enjoying the new format! I quite like that you're working through the books I guess like AW would have done. Keep it up - and looking forward to some wintry episodes later on!
Thanks very much, chuffed you're enjoying them 😊
Dinaaaaaa!!!! 🙂
I really enjoyed the video and Gina is so lovely. Would have been perfect with Finn there ❤
subbed
What a walk that is Glenn, I did that not long ago but the opposite way, when did you do this walk as that heather is starting to look very nice and was thinking of going back up soon to do a wild camp and hope to get some nice shot myself. Keep them coming m8 as it's better than watching TV.
You should take her in the haunted woods and awesome mapping app
Great stuff. Not sure if it adds too much time on you (what with the simpler format) but did enjoy your best two or three photos of the route at the end of previous videos.
Thank you 😊 I will be bringing photos back to the end of videos. But only on those days where I actually get some 😁
It did seem like a misty walk that one 😁
Brill vid as always mate, what’s the route planner you use at the beginning of the vid as I really like it. All the best Danny.
Another enjoyable video. Two things 1) You missed a trick by not saying "Black Crag is walking beneath Black Crag" in the Glencoyne Valley. 2) I could not understand how I had climbed Heron Pike but not Glenridding Dodd, then I realised it was another Heron Pike also in the Eastern Fells! Too many duplicated fell names 😀
Thanks very much 😊 I did actually mention Black Crag but cut that bit out as it was incoherent babble 😂 Last week's walk (coming out in a few weeks) included 2 Black Crags along the route. So common 😁
Nice walk, these must be quite old because we have had a heat wave for the last two months in the uk
Thanks 😊 this was the 22 July, between the very hot spells.
I am going to have to cancel my subscription to Netflix as I much prefer to watch your videos. The views on the second half of the video were worth waiting for. Dina is great fun 😊
Ah that's brilliant, thank you 😊 🙏
Love your videos mate, just wondering what app you use to track your routes? Right now I'm using FatMap and its prone to glitching out half way through walks and it deletes my progress up to that point.
what part of Britain are those places where you shoot? I watched three videos and I didn't see a forest on any mountain? I find that a bit strange. Greetings from Macedonia 🇲🇰
Another cracker Glenn but you missed out on the shark and rhinoceros rocks (left hand side as you descend) below Heron Pike. BTW, more Dina please, she adds another dimension to your vids, good crack between the two of you. ATB
Thanks very much 😊 I'll keep an eye out for those next time 😁
I can spot the exact moment she took off and got lost LOL she probably had to poo 🤭🤭
Nice video, you should get your wife to do more walks with you.
Don't know about you but recently I sold my drone. Now I've always enjoyed your drone work but do you find since not taking it out that you go out more? Like I decided to sell mine and invest in better camera equipment (Nikon Z5 and a bunch of lenses) and I have to say I go out a lot more now because I'm not worrying about wind and rain. Owning a drone your constantly weather watching. Don't know if you found that.
One of the reasons you don't see much drone footage in these videos now. If the weather is good and the walk not too long, then I'll take it. Otherwise it stays at home now 😊
Is Finn not going to make a comeback?
She joins me on the final 2 walks 😊
If you were hungry enough, trust me, you'd kill. We are, for all our efforts to be different, still animals, with natural instincts, and satisfying hunger is one of THE most primal instincts there is. If you were on the literal verge of starvation and I gave you a gun and showed you a deer, you'd be able to kill, skin, cook and eat it without too much difficulty. Survival WILL make you do whatever is required to ensure its continuation.
Fab walk again. Heading up tomorrow for a Saturday bimble up Haystacks. 😁🚐⛰📷
Thanks very much 😊
Really enjoying this journey Glenn. Heading over from N.Yorkshire tomorrow straight after work for two nights camping at Castlerigg… looking forward to wearing my new Hey Herdy! Tee-shirt 😊
Thank you and thanks for buying a t-shirt 😊🙌 Have a great time!
