Another great vid, Andy and Billy. We love it out round Mardale. We've been up the Rough Crag way several times to High Street then back down over Harter Fell but never over Piot Crag so another one to try when we're up in a week or so. Billy is such a good boy, waiting for you to help him out. The last time we did Rough Crag, we still had our beloved Springer Dylan and we had to heave his bum up a couple of those scrambly bits. He's still with us on our walks - got his collar on our rucksacks so he doesn't miss out ❤❤❤ ATB Brian and Jill 😊😊
That's a nice touch keeping Dylan's collar on your rucksack. Our springer Lily is approaching 14, bit stiff on her back legs getting off her bed but still quite sprightly once she gets going. No mountains for her anymore. Lovely dogs, springers😊
Aww thanks guys sorry for my late reply...i also carry my old Mountain Dog Ollies tag... My Ollie and Dylan will be having a bit scramble up there in doggie heaven as we speak. Billys awesome in't he we just love him to bits he's very special... Thanks as always for watching guys its a long drive down for us but I love this area ya just gotta get there early to park 🙄 Once up... these Hills are vast and often quite far from the madding crowd the choice of route is endless long or like mine short.

I've never been up Piot Crag before Andy. Been up to High street but going up via Rough Crag. I wouldn't want to come down it though. It's a fine ridge with spectacular views. I love the area of Mardale. So many different routes from Mardale Head you're spoilt for choice. Thanks for posting another spectacular video Andy. Much appreciated. Say hello to Tracey and Billy...... *THE ROCKSTAR*
It's a great route up David no path on the OS map but an easy direct ascent with no issues... Thanks as always for watching have a great weekend 🌞🌞🌞🌞 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and your la'al pal The ROCK STAR ⭐🙏🏻
It's a belter Marra nee drama just a nice pull up zig zagging through grass and rock 👍🏻 Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Great video again safe and sure Quite a few years since I did that area but it's so beautiful Also walked the full circle of Haweswater which was a slog Keep them coming 👍
Hi Andrew we have watched some of your videos They are very good and professional.We have subscribed and will look out for more of them.We are on our70,s and do a lot of walking. We camp on campsites and love the lake district.Thankyou for sharing your wonderful walks.
Aw you finally got to my favourite Andy. Furthest away from you, but much closer to me. I've spent so much time on these fells and there are so many different circular options. My usual route includes going UP the Rough Crag ridge. Definitely much easier than coming down. Lovely to see an aerial view of it all too. Another great video! Thank you 👏
Thanks Mandy aye what a great area I see how it's your favourite lots of quiet parts away from the madding crowd 😊 And once up there ya can make multiple choices as to what ya do Have a great weekend 😊 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Very good point ya made Andy about the car parking situation at Haweswater, if ya don't get there early enough, then it's tough!!!!! Good point ya made as this in itself is a good thing as it limits the numbers of people due to lack of parking, soooo not everything is bad in that way! Great roite up on to the ridge, great views over Haweswater ❤ Billy stood his ground waoting for help which was as good as to say 'help dad' 😊😊 another great walk with you & Billy Bob 🐶🐕regards to you Tracey and The legend that is The Rockstar 🐶🐕❤
As always many thanks David Rough Crags definitely up there with the great ridges of the Lake District. Tek care stay safe mate ATVB Andy, Tracey and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Ey up Marra, ey up Billy. Another absolute belter. I’ve never been down the ridge and over rough crag, only ever up it. It’s a cracking route. In fact the last time I did it there was a bit of snow around and the views were brilliant. It’s a cracking area, and like you said pretty quiet. All the best enjoy your week. 😀🥾⛰
Thanks as always Dave a long drive down for us but I love the area ya just gotta get there early to park 🙄 Once up... these Hills are vast and often quite... far from the madding crowd!! the choice of route is endless long or like mine short.

This is the only walking channel I have subscribed to, informative, friendly, precise and very well edited. Thank you very much for your videos.. there just the tonic for the day after a long hike and I’m still missing the views. Hope to catch you on the fells one day 👍🏻
Smashing video again Andrew, one of my favourite areas and of course quite convenient for me. Such a great route with so much or interest, I love Blea Water and Small Water and love looking down on them. I went up Mardale Ill Bell by Piot Crag back in June, but accessed it from Small Water outflow and round the corrie - I find the valley route to Blea Water can be rather soggy. at times! Always look forward to your superb videos 👍
Thanks Maggie very much appreciated 😊 It's a great area isnt it big and vast and often quite once up the choice of routes are endless short like mine or long walks. Hope ya having a great weekend sorry for my late reply 🙄 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Brilliant as usual Andy. I am coming up in 2 weeks and although I have done it a few times previously I was planning on Rough Crag up to HS then over to Harter Fell. After seeing your vid I might double back from HF and try Piot Crag as my descent route . Thanks for sharing. 👌👌🙏🙏

Thanks Andy. Lovely views. I have to say I love the way you trained Billy. Will you get another dog for Billy to train before he gets too old. (God forbid). I feel unhappy asking but it's inevitable. Few tears later. Take care and stay safe. Love to you all. X
Awww thanks Yvonne it's a hard one to answer...we'd love another but I've only ever been a one dog man...i know Billy would love a companion especially a la'al lady dog (lol he loves the lady's) Training Billy at first was impossible he was a nightmare pup I just took him everywhere with me carrying him on the Mountains from just a few months old...in the end he learnt himself and wow what a transformation it was like everything just clicked in his head overnight and the ROCK STAR was born. He's very special Yvonne we adore him...thank you so much... I truly hope through TH-cam his name will live on forever. Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and your fury pal Billybob ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Another great video Andrew. No too familiar with the eastern fells and have only done the Kentmere circuit which I loved. As for suggestions on routes, I'd love to share my favourite place in the Lakes, but as we were told by a couple of locals, 'don't tell everyone as they'll all want to come here' If I meet you on the tops anytime, I'll let you know where, but not here in public! Keep up the great work, it breaks up my late evening shift up nicely 👍
Lol aye mate some things need kept secret...theres not many places in't Lake left that's why most my walking is very early starts or unused routes far from the madding crowd. Thanks for watching Stephen very much appreciated Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Definitely 10/10 and such a good video and appreciation of very familiar ground for me, thank you. I probably know the Haweswater fells better than any of them, having spent so much time on them over the years. I'd agree that Rough Crag is a lot easier up than down. So many happy times on Rough Crag, some days just sitting up there overlooking Riggindale when the eagles were still in residence. I have been up and down Piot Crag and it's fine, as you say. A bit slippy sometimes on the grass coming down after wet weather. There are so many circuits possible using either way up onto the ridge and so quiet. Love the shot of Billy contemplating Blea Water... no doubt thinking how am I going to get all those stones out of there?! Look forward to more, Andy, thanks.

We've had this on our list for a while now but just not got around to it. Hopefully we will get chance on our next trip in early November. Especially as it's had the rock star seal of approval 🌟 we will most likely go up rough crag and down either nan beild or gatescarth pass depending on how far along we get in the day. It will be our first dabble in that area
Thanks Claire aye what a great area well spaced out and lots of quiet parts once ya up ya can make multiple choices as to what ya do Have a great weekend 😊 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Hi Andy and Billy. Yet another brilliant lesser known ridge to try and so informative too. Weve walked up to Blea Tarn previously but then onto Rough Crag to High Street. Does the lower path before you hit the ridge carry on to Small Water Andy. Great drone footage as always ATB
