    Well where to begin? First things first, not only have I hit the liked button but I’ve also put this straight into my favourites section (not many get into that). At first I had trouble believing this was a METALMAN production as it was filmed in total sunshine and I know for a fact that the METALMAN only goes out in the rain and wind. What a future star you have there Alan for your Channel, Harry Metalman is simply a born natural in the mountains. He moved over those rocks like a seasoned pro. You must be very proud and rightfully so. Well done to both of you and I look forward to seeing many more of your adventures. This is definitely a five star film. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Thanks very much Mike and he had a great day asking on the way back "is there any more mountains I can climb with you?". Always appreciate your comments Mike, cheers Alan

    simply stunning, for one of the smaller fells it overs some stunning views. My wife and I did it in reverse and went up the route you suggested for Mrs Metalman. Sadly my 3 granddaughters are not interested in fell walking, so I can't use them as an excuse to get out there. My wife has suggested I get a Solohiker t-shirt made after seeing yours, so thanks for that. ATB jim
