Hi LDF and to Neil as well…I hope? Have just discovered these videos and have enjoyed watching a couple to date, but I will certainly start to watch and learn from the catalog of videos you have produced. They are enjoyable, informative and humerus!…..thanks to Neil, and I kind of feel a lot safer using your vids to walk these routes, and to notice a lot more around me at the time of following them. My best wishes to you all and take care. Regards, Chip 👍🍻 Ps Neil, nice touch with the bloopers as well 🤣😂🤣
Thank you! Skipped Wetherlam this time just because, being winter, of the limited number of daylight hours, and the reasonably long walk off. We've done Wetherlam since, via Coppermines Valley and Black Sails, which you can see here: th-cam.com/video/cpSKoZbF1VE/w-d-xo.html
Had a giggle when you said “...and pie!” as I was already thinking of a dusting of icing sugar on something sweet... something to do with Swirl How looking so beautiful wrapped in a fine powder of snow.
@@LakeDistrictFilms I did the walk from Walna Scar Car Park. 29 deg a bit warmer than your walk. It was hard, no shade just searing heat all day. Top my goodness what stunning views. Just awesome.
Thanks, Gary. 95% of the paths are clear - the only areas that can be a little vague, especially without snow, is the descent down Prison Band, but even then it should be possible to follow the rock shine to find the route down. Just take it carefully, as ever! Hope this is useful - let us know how you get on.
Great video guys. One of my favourite of all time and I have done it about 30 times as it's the closest of the big 'uns to me. Not filmed up there yet though. That's a long route to take too, completely destroyed the kids when we did that 😁
Thank you! When you get up to the level of Coniston Old Man and Swirl How, there's so many places to go and play, it's tempting to keep going. Luckily we made it back with a (little) daylight.
Found your Coniston Old Man vlog on purpose to see what route you took as we are doing it tomorrow (Christmas Eve) from the Walna Scar car park. Your fitness is way superior to ours (plantar Faciitis as restricted our walks for the past few months). Beautiful autumn colours and glad you showed us the plane wreck on Great Carrs, that’s on our list too now. Your reference of ‘pie’ is that your hard earned treat at the end of your walk?
Thank you. This might be one of the best ways up - there's the route up through the mine workings, via Coppermines Valley, but it's steep and you don't necessarily get the views. This way up is long, but there's the car park en route, and it's never too hard going. Good luck and let us know how you get on!
Great video. Beautiful colours on the way down 🍁
Thank you - it was a glorious day for walking. All the best

Thank you!
Excellent 👌
Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks, Yasmin. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Any reason you didn't add Wetherlam to make it 6 Wainwrights and begin your descent from there?

Might just be your best. Well done, Sir
Many thanks, Ian! Glad you enjoyed it.
I just love your walks, well informed and the banter is brilliant. Hope to do this on Friday but From Walna Scar Car Park
Thanks, Julie! Really kind of you to let us know. Hope you have a great day on the hill - let us know how you get on! Stay safe.

@@Muddipaws1308 Sounds like you had a great day for it! The views are fantastic - imagine you could see for miles!
Absolutely brilliant mate. Thankyou 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another really interesting walk out. Good in situ watch the bloody cornice warning. They're a damn side easier to go down than to get up!
Thank you! Yes, they're best avoided!
Great walk. Reminded me of times up there - years ago.
Thanks, Philip.
Fabulous! been looking forward to this and loved it
Thanks, Darren. Really appreciate the comment. All the best.
Another great video, love watching your vlogs.👍
Thank you. Glad you like them!
I love your Parrrrs or Pass, me I am deffo Pass being a Northerner.
We’re happy to support all pronunciations!
Love your videos. They've been extremely helpful and informative. Not too mention the bloopers. 😂❤️💯🤝
Thanks, Tony. Glad you enjoy them and they're of use to you. All the best.
Alright mate. Excellent video of your walk. Well documented 👍Never hiked this route.. are the paths easy to follow? Thanks for sharing.

Great video!
We’re heading up this weekend and this gives us a great idea of the terrain 👍🏼
Thank you! Glad to hear it’s useful - have a great day.
I'm planning on doing a similar route this weekend (weather permitting), this has made me so keen to get out there!
Good to hear! Hope you have a good day for it - stay safe!
What a great video, looked fantastic with the winter conditions.
Thank you! Yes, it was a pretty epic day - the mountains look amazing with a dusting of snow. Cheers!

Great video as always, whats the easiest way up to the Old Man ? Going to be doing this in April, to be fair that way you went looked very good.

I have wanted to say, your backing track sounds a lot like Bron Yr aur by Led Zeppelin?
Led Zeppelin are always copying our stuff!
