Another fantastic video Darren, really enjoying this series, Thank you 👍👍
Thanks Stu,
That’s very kind bud.
Stay well 🍺🍺
Awesome hike!
Many thanks N&R
Stay well you two 🍺🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto you're welcome 😊
Another great watch Darren. You are right the Langstrath Valley is a gem. Looking forward to the next video. 😊🍻📷
Morning Mark,
Separating walking from hiking, I think the Langstrath was probably my favourite leg of the walk. Having said that, Ulverston to Coniston was pretty special too.
So much to choose from 😆
Take care matey and I hope you have a great weekend 🍺
Great narration and adventure 👌
Thanks Sue 👍🍺
Another great video, thankyou. That was one helluva hike💪
Thanks Anne,
I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
Take care and stay well 🍺🍺
brilliant
Cheers Charles 🍺
You had quite a day! I’m still loving seeing the country with you. I couldn’t lift that pack, much less walk the distance you have with it. Wonderful story about your wedding gift. Many congratulations to you and Helen on your anniversary!
Great video, lovely story about the picture and it's significance, in fact these vlogs have really brought out your story telling. I was once up there with a group of kids and one of them asked what was so special about his tickle. The wee lass thought it was 'Harrison's Tickle'. Glad you made it to Catbells and look forward to part 5.
Harrison’s tickle, hahaha, love it!
Cheers Keith and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
Take care matey 🍺🍺
Best one so far Darren - well done mate, great to watch ! (Happy anniversary BTW) 👍😎
Cheers John,
Parts 1-4-5 were definitely my favourite videos.
I hope you’re well bud and stay safe 🍺🍺
Another cracking video Darren you have been doing so well to keep going in that heat all day that was a long slog. Great Anniversary story it was obvious how much it meant to you, get Helen to give those shoulders a good rub down😀.. I'm not surprised that you couldn't walk past the pub, I wouldn't have left it😂, it's going to leave a big hole when this series is over it's been a joy watching mate.
Morning Kev,
What a lovely comment, thank you 🙏
Helen and I were both up there last week and so it really topped off this video. Plus the conditions were identical (apart from the stupid heat 😆).
Take care bud and stay well 🍺
Awww, you're an old romantic Darren...congrats on the anniversary 🍾🍾
I think you might be giving me itchy feet ,always fancied a camp at stickle tarn....
It's been great following you, fabulous scenery & your commentary makes me feel like I'm there 👍👍
Morning Lynne,
I think a wild camp at Sticked tarn in the winter would be amazing as I was considering that myself.
With the frost, possibly snow and the run offs, the photography could be extremely good.
Take care matey and stay well 🍺🍺
awesome dude ❤ feel a little naughty watching without Mrs. she's at work! but i'll watch again with her, we got as far as stickle tarn, but hope to complete it like you... many thanks for taking us on your journey .. take care dude 😍... great series 👍✌
Hi Josh,
The walk to Stickle tarn is a beaut in its self but hopefully you’ll get higher next time. If you pick a good weather day you won’t be disappointed with the views.
Take care bud 🍺🍺
Your a very brave man harder than child birth think many women would disagree 🤣 nice vlog again thank you Burt
Happy Anniversary to you both. 31 years, that is quite an accomplishment. Shame she couldn't have been there this time. "To be honest, I'm not really that hungry" - me thinks perhaps the beer filled you up. ::)).
Many Thanks Susan,
However me and Helen hiked it last week and so it was great to share the experience with her.
You maybe right about the beer 😉
Take care and stay well 🍺
One hell of a long day mate.
The views are awesome up there.
Many moons ago I and the wife did the boat ride the length of derwentwater and hiked the path back to the start point was a great walk and it was a steaming hot day.
Enjoying this trip with you.
Stay safe as ever.👍
Hi Gary,
Helen did the hike with me last week and it was amazing to stand on top of Harrison Stickle together.
Plus we did the boat ride as well and so it was a perfect holiday.
Stay well bud 🍺🍺
Happy anniversary Daza & may there be many more. Osprey backpacks not living up to the mark then? Good luck for the next part. Cliff-hangers. Love um. Stay safe my friend.
Cheers 🍺
How the hell you carried on with beer is beyond me! How very coincidental with you being on Langstrath. Agree it’s very nice. Loved the adventure and numerous phrases along the way. Pike o Stickle has a surprising little scramble from memory. Nice one Daz👍👍
Loving the adventure,some great terrain for sure...congrats on the Anniversary! I cringed at the childbirth comment,visions of the torture coming your way were in my head. A couple of fine images,especially the last one! Look forward to the next one!
Cheers Neil and I hope you’re well bud.
The terrain was amazing but the days hike was just to long for me on a day with that amount of elevation and heat.
It was a good learning curve though
Stay well matey 🍺
yet another great episode; I was getting very worried about the shoulder pain and nearly called an ambulance for you 🤣🤣
Man, I wouldn't have wanted to be you when Helen heard the 'childbirth' comments !
The shoulders may have been giving you jip not just because of the time/distance you were out but because the bag was packed low. Its best to keep the weight as close to the spine as possible and packed high distributing the weight through the hips, which stops the shoulder straps pulling so much.
It still looks like a great adventure, or a glorified pub crawl😉
Hi Iain,
I think the pack was packed correctly with the heavier components at the bottom and against my spine but who knows?
They were very long days and so it could just have been fatigue as well as pain.
Anyway, as much as I enjoyed it, I now know my limitations when it comes to weight and distance per day.
Take care bud 🍺🍺
" A Drop of wind".. that's a new one, lol. Ah, lovely to see emotion in a person - as you were telling us about the image and Helen that old voice breaking up a little. I have to tell you I would be very much the same... recently my oldest lad got married & due to the restrictions we were just 20 close family - so Dad here was asked to be best man.. his 1st words to me when he asked was Dad will you be able to hold it together..lol, thats how bad I am. At 17:00 you mention getting to Cat Bells and it threw me.. I don't know the lakes at all so I start up OS mapping to give me an idea of the route you were doing - so I searched Stickle Tarn in and had a quick look then you said your destination and I am thinking that didn't look anywhere near on the map - only to check that there are a couple of Stickle Tarns.. the one I was looking at was in the Dunnerdale Fells? Watched JRB's latest last evening and until then I had not heard of the Langstrath Valley and here we are for the 2nd day running.. what a fabulous looking valley and if I ever get to trhe Lakes I will be looking for it. It's funny you say about the shoulder thing - it's been a thing with me for a few years and I don't know if its carrying too much weight, loading my pack wrong or just badly fitting ruccy but it's something I am acutely aware of these days.... then you come of with the smacked off your t*ts thing, I nearly spat my morning tea over my desk...lol. I would have been sleeping after the 3rd beer..lol. Bravo Daz.. that was a hard n hot one.. not helped by those beers I reckon..lol atb Al
Great vid Darren. I normally hike alone and like to think you do it right. Stop when you need to. (Have a look, take a pic or have a swim). When hiking with others I find they are more bout getting to the other end rather than enjoying the journey. Epic fays walking. Look forward to the next chapter.
Morning Mark,
Apart from the heat, which made it very uncomfortable at times, this trip was great because I had so much time to stop and enjoy the landscape.
Thats why I’ve started to wild camp more, because it gives you that luxury of time.
Enjoy your hikes bud and stay well 🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto Thanks mate, itching to get out there as soon as soon as this shoulder heals,.
Congratulations on your anniversary. With your rucksack has it got torso adjustment? If it's to long or short between the waist and shoulder it will cause discomfort. If it hasn't then you need the correct size for your torso length. Hopefully you get it sorted
Hi Garry,
Cheers mate 👍
It does and I had it fitted and so I’m sure it’s the correct size. I just think it was too heavy for me over long distances.
I now know my weight limitations and so the next trip should be easier
Take care bud 🍺
Congratulations and fabulous feat and a dream fullfilled after 31 years. Can you please write who is that record holder you are talking about in the video? Dwayne Right??
Morning Ramkys Art,
Thanks for the kind comment.
with regards to the record holder, I think it’s a lady who holds the wainwright record. But I’m sure a quick Google search will confirm
Take care and enjoy your weekend 🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto Got it. I thought Wainwright is a person who holds the record.....
Well done Darren .
This series of videos documenting this journey is going to be such a good thing for you to look back on in years to come . I guess you meet up with stuart on the next section .
Hi David,
Thanks for watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.
No I didn’t meet up with Stu in this series. I met up with him a few weeks ago when I was on holiday.
Take care bud and stay well 🍺
Bless you Darren, that was a tough day but you kept going. The wild swimming did look refreshing. I think the medicinal bears helped.
Happy belated anniversary to you and Helen and wishing you many more. It was another beautiful, heartfelt and thoroughly enjoyable video. Sophie enjoyed watching with me 😸☕
Hi Sophie and Heather (see what I did there 😉)
Helen and I both hiked the Langdales last week and she stood on every Wainwright that I stood on, plus the weather was exactly the same, but without the blistering heat.
A perfect day
Take care you two 👋👋
@@DarrenKnightPhoto Sophie says she's glad someone appreciates her superiority (she was a goddess in an Egyptian temple in a previous life) 😸
OK, I have to ask after watching a few videos... There's a shot in your intro of some kind of foam hitting your face in the breeze (followed by a look of disgust on your face). That didn't have anything to do with a camel, did it? Just curious. 😀
Also, for us southern-US dwellers, 29C / 84F is a very nice (even slightly cooler) day. Our summers usually top out above 35C or higher. But I'm sure your winters would do me in. Great series of videos!
Loving following your trip through these thoroughly enjoyable vlogs Darren 🍻
Thanks Tracey that’s very kind 🙏
Stay well 🍺
Congrats to you both on the anniversary. You could really see the emotion you were feeling when you reached that summit, it's been a great adventure so far, now I will go back to the video, great job mate.
Cheers John,
Helen and I both hiked it last week and so it was a great end to closing the 31 year chapter. Plus the weather was identical, apart from the blistering heat.
Stay well pal and thanks for watching 🍺🍺
@@DarrenKnightPhoto Same to you mate, those beers looked so good and well deserved.
