What an amazing adventure. Your walks should be a TV series, so professional and the commentary is exceptional. I can just see you and Julia Bradbury doing these. Or maybe with a comedian who asks inane questions and brings loads of needless kit. Best hiking channel on the choob by a country mile.
This was one of the last Lakeland walks I did with my son before my cardiac incident and triple bypass. We did the ridge first and went the other way round, it was really lovely. Now on the mend and hopefully this week I will be heading out into my beloved Teasdale for a lovely winter walk😀
I hve to say I have never seen a programme of such quality on the internet or tv. In the conditions you were operating in to show the scenery with such clarity is amazing. You bring the viewer into your adventures with you and have such knowledge of the fells etc. Thank heaven, because in those conditions I think anyone who didn't could have been in real trouble. Honestly, you put the highly paid tv presenters to shame. Thanks for another great episode, this is definitely my favourite youtube channel.
The 3d maps / routes are really useful in following you along, much appreciated! Love days like that, where our gear gets proper use. Thanks for sharing the adventure
That was definitely a two Mars Bar walk. Thank you for risking life and limb to bring the gorgeousness of the Lakes to a small screen for those of us who love the place and to inspire those who haven't visited yet to experience those fells themselves.
Argh posted before I had finished. I said I'd watch your vlog enjoying a nice dram of single malt. Well, I going to have that dram now. I've finished wfh for the day, my wife has gone to Asda with my daughter to do the weekly shop, my tea is cooking in the oven, I've relaxed watching you doing battle with snow, sleet and the wind, now for the whisky. Looking forward to your next vlog already and hoping I'll get across this Saturday. ATB Rod
Thanks Glenn. Was going to post something about how much these videos mean to those like me who can't quite manage the physical exertion these days but other comments have already covered this. Brilliant video.
Found the video by accident and I have to say that it was one of the most entertaining half hours I've spent in ages and took me back to wild camping on High Street in high summer and being up on the fells of the Lakes up to the (certain bodily parts) in deep snow and howling wind.....deep joy!! I'm a seasoned fell and mountain walker who is long past his prime but found the content and the way you did the voice recording very entertaining in both content, knowledge and enthusiasm. You certainly love your fells. Looking forward to looking at your past vids. Graham
Loving every minute of these video hikes. You’re a legend being out in those conditions but I envy you’re ability to get to these wonderful, sorry gorgeous, places so quickly. Binge watching my way through the Wainwrights ready for a Spring visit ⛰️⛰️⛰️🥾🥾
" This is what I've been craving " Me too, from here in Florida 😆 All jokes aside, I love relaxing while watching you walk . Thanks for another awesome video. This one was extra awesome 😀
From the beautiful becks thundering down the hillsides to the blinding snow on top of High Street, wow ! someone should give you a medal. I've enjoyed your hard work. Thank you.🥶🥶🥶
Loved the great video. When your hands are that cold you daren,t take off your sheepskin mittens to undo your rucksack to get out a flask of hot soup then you know it’s really cold and time to ship on out of there. Cheers
This was the English Lake District. North of England not Scotland. However, Scotland has some higher mountains and arguably even more striking scenery.
Hello Glenn, it's always magical walking in the snow whatever age you are. You've inspired me to brush up on my navigating skills when it gets clagged in and you can't pick out any landmarks. So, I'm off to find some useful compass and map reading videos! Take care and keep doing what you're doing, it's brilliant! P.S. Glad that you didn't take Finn, she would have disappeared! Simon, Somerset.
Went up High Street yesterday using the alternate route you described I.e. up Rough Crag to racecourse hill then across to Mardale Ill Bell and down the Nan Bield pass. Very stony as you said, but the waterfalls were lovely. Thanks for the suggestions.
WOW! Absolutely incredible. What a mad, crazy day you had up there. I'd be thinking YIKES! what am I doing up here. Unbelievable hike in those conditions. Top drawer stuff. Thanks for posting.
What an epic video - thoroughly enjoyed it! Walks from Mardale Head with stays at the Haweswater Hotel make for a perfect Lakeland combination. Glad to see the water level fully restored in the reservoir after the dry summer
Thank you for this video. It would appear you selected some fairly severe conditions for your outing. I am grateful that you were willing to film in such conditions, as I found your trek to be most enjoyable. I am certain the views would be epic in good weather.
Amazing video, we were amazed you carried on and didn't turn back! Definitely one to remember. We loved the commentary throughout and your navigational brilliance. Very inspirational. Regards, Ashley
Loved that Glenn, made all the better watching you battling the elements whilst I was sat sipping a hot cup of tea. I did that walk about 18 months ago in glorious sunshine and it was a completely different experience to yours! Interesting that you popped into the Haweswater Hotel; I quite fancy taking my wife there. It looks a lovely old hotel in a fantastic location. Keep up the good work Glenn, you’re doing a great job.
We was there on the 8th. Just the same bottoms clear of all but rain. Tops got snow covered very fast that day. Some views on way back to the car after a 9h loop. Top video as always.
Some effort that mate bagging all those wainwrights same time lugging all that weight. Pancetta on hotdogs? No way man. Haha. Another cracking vid mate. 🎥
Great video 👍maybe do a tutorial video on how to navigate the areas like you talked about in the video, would be interesting for anybody who does not have that knowledge
Bloody hell 😳 no need for apologies on this as the weather was atrocious & I don't know how you did so well filming & keeping the commentary going, u would have been glad just to get off the tops & back down to valley level. Great walking area this up from Haweswater..on a 'good day' it's an excellent walk up on to High Street & the reward is the views. Excellent & very well done by you this in very extreme conditions .fair play to ya💯👌
One of my favourite Wainwright moments was mardale Ill bell. Normally beaten to the summit by the herdies. Mardale Ill Bell I was met by fell ponies 🙂 the weather was a bit clearer that summer ...!
Did a similar one a few weeks back up Rough Cragg on to the Nabb and back via Kidsty Pike...it was WET WET WET....The grass section down from Kidsty Howes to the bridge was a spongy swampfest...Great walk Glen and it does show how conditions can change rapidly from valleys to summits in minutes 👍👍
just started watching you and loving your videos keep up the good work coming from kendal but live near portsmouth now its always good to watch the lakes 👌
Brilliant video. Bought back memories of January 2022 when I did this walk but I went up Dudderwick Fell, Rough Crag, Riggindale up onto High street. Most frightening winds I’ve ever encountered, truly terrifying. But determined to go back this year & do it again in better weather.
We did this same walk in November and had 60mph+ winds on the tops, so this brought back lots of memories! We stayed at Haweswater Hotel for the night and totally recommend it. We are the couple who bumped into you on the top of Wansfell Pike and said hello a while ago when you had Finn with you 👋
You inspired me with this so did it myself today..completely different conditions though..great views from High Street across to most of the big ones apart from the Borrowdale ones. Great walk thoroughly enjoyed it..
I admire your commitment to keep filming and carrying on, knowledge and equipment obviously key. It's not always clear skies and sunshine but that just adds a different attitude to it. Always beautiful regardless.
Yet another great video. Must confess, I would have turned back and saved it for a better day. It's on the list for this summers week in the hills (along with the other who knows how many). Keep up the great and stay safe.👍👏
Every credit Glenn for going out in those extreme condition just to entertain folk😉. Shame we couldn`t see the views but gives people who haven`t been out in those condition a real taste of how brutal the weather can be. Great vlog think i owe you a beer for that one. DaveT🍺
I love this circuit - have done it so many times, so I can at least imagine the views you'd normally get. I must admit I've never done it in those conditions so far and I seem to remember you did this the last time in conditions worthy of the Arctic! I remember sitting in the hollow at the top of Short Stile ridge, halfway along the Straits of Riggindale and on top of Kidsty with that stunning over to Rough Crag, and you're right about that too - fabulous ridge and so is Long Stile ridge up to High Street. It's a really good piece of footage though, to show people the realism of it and also just simple things like snow driving into your face is not pleasant and how quickly snow can accumulate to a decent depth. Anyway, really enjoying this series and looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for watching folks 😊 If you like the look of my boots you can buy them here tidd.ly/3GDAivB or tidd.ly/3W3GiDr 😊
Nothing like mother nature to make you feel aware and alive!! Loved the video!

You will be back to it before you know 👍
Hope you have a speedy recovery and return to these hills 🙏
I pray that you are doing well. I'm sorry for what happened to you. 🙏
I also did it the other way around, great walk.

Certainly extreme, brave guy ,but scenic in its own right

Me too, from here in Florida 😆
All jokes aside, I love relaxing while watching you walk . Thanks for another awesome video. This one was extra awesome 😀
Ecky Thumps! that was a cold hike, still loved it. A little imagination needed of the views from the top, still great though. Thanks.
Mate, that's a great film. The coast to coast walk is on my bucket list 👍
Yes another enjoyable watch navigating using the wall ever little helps
Wow,brilliant film, you know your stuff and you are an inspiration to others to just get out for a wonder.
Very brave...even with all your skills and knowledge.
Cheers.
Completed your route yesterday the weather was slightly better than when you did the walk. absolutely brilliant. Bought you a coffee to say thanks.
From the beautiful becks thundering down the hillsides to the blinding snow on top of High Street, wow ! someone should give you a medal. I've enjoyed your hard work. Thank you.🥶🥶🥶
You certainly earned your pint on this one, a fantastic video, thank you so. much
Thank you 😊
The 'legend' continues.
Loved the great video. When your hands are that cold you daren,t take off your sheepskin mittens to undo your rucksack to get out a flask of hot soup then you know it’s really cold and time to ship on out of there. Cheers
Another wowser! Wish i had been there. I love wild weather.
Thank you....it was tough but fun 😊
Nice ! Beautiful Scenery… I’m from USA 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. I was not aware that Scotland had such majestic mountains 🏔️. Very Pretty 👍
This was the English Lake District. North of England not Scotland. However, Scotland has some higher mountains and arguably even more striking scenery.
Love the fact you can enter and leave such a winter, wild spot in minutes. Terrific narration, I am hooked!
Wonderful walk.
That was just Epic .. ohh my days 😄

Bloody hell 🥶 looks a bit fresh.
Wow, you must be mad, Lol! Loved every minute of it sitting here in the warmth with a cup of tea. Looking forward to the next adventure. Thanks again.
I have just come down from there had lunch at the cairn . Then up and down for a cup of tea at small water a superb walk.
Just heading over there today, it’s my favourite bit of the Lakes, I can highly recommend Wild Fell by Lee Schofield which is all about this area

Did this walk last year fantastic walk stunning views and when we got to high street trig point …..mist 😁
Another excellent video sir..,
Great video, 👍 thank you.
Criss-crossed Nan Bield pass countless times in all weathers and conditions including deep snow.
What an epic video - thoroughly enjoyed it! Walks from Mardale Head with stays at the Haweswater Hotel make for a perfect Lakeland combination. Glad to see the water level fully restored in the reservoir after the dry summer
In the wet it’s like walking in a water course as the water runs down the path most of the way
Amazing!!!!
Well done. Filming and talking aint easy i bet. Dedicated.
Great video 👍🏻 that os walk through is so useful 🍺
Crikey pal very brave! Awesome video and bloody class.
Thanks again. Love it. Yr a star!
Great vid of a gnarly walk.
Glad you're walking these instead of me!!!
Inspirational for trying these out in the summer.
Thanks Paul
I climbed up high stile that day, it was a bit wild at the top ❄️ with my daughter, great day if a bit chilly and slippery 🤣
Brilliant content, makes carp anglers look like fairy's with all th kit we take camping
35:54 this hasn't gone unnoticed for me, which is the nice touch of editing the scene transitions in-sync with the music 😁 another great vid!
Loved this debs xx
Another superb video. Many thanks for all your effort in producing them.
Wow! Glad you didn’t come down the rigg. I still shiver thinking about it!
What an amazing adventure walker you are.
Thank you for this video. It would appear you selected some fairly severe conditions for your outing. I am grateful that you were willing to film in such conditions, as I found your trek to be most enjoyable. I am certain the views would be epic in good weather.
That's a cracking video. Such a great hike. Back up lakes in Feb for a week. Blencathra is calling me.
Now that was some conditions thete, I doff my hat to you for this one 👏
Thanks for sharing that ramble great vid spot on enjoyed it
Wow Glenn, that was brutal up top but I thoroughly enjoyed watching your struggle with the elements and that wind!
just shows you how the weather can change so bad good job you know what your doing. knowledge is everything 💯
Love conditions like that 😍👍
Excellent walk this in my favourite area . Never had those conditions though . Another brilliant video .
Brilliant 👌🏻.. as always. Enjoyed this immensely. Thank you Glenn xx
Really excellent adventure video. You make it look so easy. Thank you and Stay Safe.
Amazing video, we were amazed you carried on and didn't turn back! Definitely one to remember. We loved the commentary throughout and your navigational brilliance. Very inspirational. Regards, Ashley

Keep up the good work Glenn, you’re doing a great job.
Was this all GoPro 10 footage… if so you deserved to be sponsored by them … very well done 👍
We was there on the 8th. Just the same bottoms clear of all but rain. Tops got snow covered very fast that day. Some views on way back to the car after a 9h loop. Top video as always.
Another great video, bloody wild. Always amazes me how different the weather is in the valley compared to the mountain tops.
Another cracking vid mate, one of my favourites so far. Amazing conditions! ☃️☃️☃️
That's cool, I was there on the same day as you. And did a similar route. We went at a bit different times though.
What a commitment, works both ways! Thank you
Melodramatic introduction to the video. 😁
Some effort that mate bagging all those wainwrights same time lugging all that weight. Pancetta on hotdogs? No way man. Haha.
Another cracking vid mate. 🎥
Glad you lived to tell the tale. I recommend you invest in some ski goggles. 😄
Good vid fella .
glad i found your channel, i love your hikes in this changing weather conditions
Superb wander in 'interesting' conditions.
Great video as usual but with a bit more drama. The wind effects on the headphones is particularly good.
Great video 👍maybe do a tutorial video on how to navigate the areas like you talked about in the video, would be interesting for anybody who does not have that knowledge
Wow. The conditions were proper! The far eastern fells are fantastic though. A bit different to the rest of the lakes but right up there.
Yes glen looking forward to this one 😀
Bloody hell 😳 no need for apologies on this as the weather was atrocious & I don't know how you did so well filming & keeping the commentary going, u would have been glad just to get off the tops & back down to valley level.

We don’t mind not being able to see your eyes! If it’s more comfortable for you to have them sheltered by your hood then def do it! 💙
Brilliant video. Bought back memories of January 2022 when I did this walk but I went up Dudderwick Fell, Rough Crag, Riggindale up onto High street. Most frightening winds I’ve ever encountered, truly terrifying. But determined to go back this year & do it again in better weather.
Epic snowy trip, excellent ❄️😎👍
As ever a brilliant Volg really excellent ! You certainly know your mountains bud ! Great series your on with thanks 👍

epic loved it
Fantastic weather for the fells! Ski goggles for me tho - flying face-needles are a pain.
Great video as always. Haweswater in September was half empty. It's clearly been replenished 😀
Brave doing it your own
Amazing man, you are really inspiring me to get out there
