- On a blisteringly hot day In May 2018, On Y Va Films headed to Wasdale Head in the English Lake District to do the iconic Mosedale Round, taking in Pillar and Red Pike, two Wainwright hills.
The people are Tish and Neil, and the dogs are The Mighty Puds ™ (the chocolate lab ) and The Mighty Jess ™ (the black lab).

I like watching, no fuss, no crap chat, just basic down to earth, and you appear to know your stuff.
Thanks, Phil.
Done the mosedale horseshoe several times in the past with two border collies sadly long gone. My favourite part is the view from Red Pike beyond wastwater including Whin Rigg & Illgill. I’ve been known to sit several minute’s absorbing that view. Thank you
Pillar was my first mountain in the Lakes. My Grandad took me up there when I was 16. There was absolutely no visibility and sideways rain. I remember us grabbing some shelter at the top and managing some very soggy sandwiches. This year he has been diagnosed with Parkinsons and Alzheimer's, putting an end to his hiking days. As I moved to Carlisle a few years ago, I've now laid out plans to summit as many Wainwrights in the lakes as I can. Beautiful videos like this bring the memories flooding back whilst also making me looking forward to getting back out on the trails!
Thanks for your comment - it's so nice to hear that people find the films useful. Sorry to hear about your grandfather's diagnosis - hope he is as good as possible, under the circumstances. Have fun on the hills!
Breathtakingly beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nicely done. I like the regular reference back to the OS maps so we can see exactly where you went.
Thank you!
Great videos, I love your presentating style 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Hell of a stomp ... superb stuff lads.
Thanks, Paul. Much appreciated.
I did the same hike over to Blacksail from Wasdale Pub nearly 30 yrs ago and the only thing that has changed is the conddition of the Path out of Wasdale and into Ennerday, gone are the rough tracks and in came the stone steps, a vast improvement and it should stop some of the Errosion.
Thanks, Tony. good to hear - Fix The Fells and the National Trust have done some great path building work out and about.
@@LakeDistrictFilms Now I am retired I have all the time left to reattempt some of the hikes I missed out when I was younger, like most of the Ridgeline Hikes, but now due to age the knees would give out 5 minutes after starting, so instead I view others doing the routes I missed back in the 1970s to 1990s. But I sure do miss my two weeks of Lake District Hikes every year. I knew there would come a time when it would no longer be possible to carry on and I guess I have reached that age, BUT I have a lot of memories to look back on and viewing others hike in those areas lets me relive my memories. Coast to Coast completed in both directions, Pennine Way completed in both directions, Lands End to John OGroats completed in both directions, Norfolf Coastline from Hunstanton to Lowestoft and finally the Complete Coast Line of England, Wales and Scotland. I only hope there is a Hiking Section in the afterlife and then Nothing is Impossible. Good Luck to your Future Hikes, but a word of warning What you Enjoy NOW will not always be possible in the future, so record as much as you can now and like me use videos to relive Your Memories at a later stage in Your Life.

@@user-TonyUK Many thanks, Tony. I believe that one of the reasons Wainwright wrote the Guides was as an aide memoire for when he thought he wouldn't be able to do the routes himself. Thanks again for your comments and support. Best wishes, Neil
@@LakeDistrictFilms Thanks Neil
What an epic video!!
Thank you!
Great video. Will be doing the same route next week
Amazing…Thankyou that’s on my to do list 🙏🎉
Thank you! Hope you have a good day for it!
Excellent walk chaps! Thank you for posting!
Thanks, Alan! Glad you enjoyed it.
Like the way you revisit the map, really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic! What a glorious day for such a glorious walk! Yes, I agree with @byeck63 - referencing back to the OS map is a huge help. Thank you.
Thanks, Stephen! Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant video. I’ve been walking the Wasdale fells with my family (partner and x 2 kids). We’ve done, Lingmell, Scafell and scafell pike, great gable and Kirk fell. Pillar is next for us. It looks a bit hairy at the top! How dangerous /narrow is the high ridge to the summit? Also how’s the descent from red pike. The music makes it all feel like a walk in the park! But I’m sure it isn’t at all! Your dogs do great! Thanks for such a useful video! 🙏
Thank you! It’s been a few years, but my recollection is that the path op to Pillar is reasonably straightforward and not exposed. The ridge up towards Little Scoat Fell from Wind Gap is a bit more scramble, but also not too exposed.
The descent down Dorehead Screes is definitely steep and not enormously fun… the alternative way off is following the path to the west of Yewbarrow, which is fairly gentle, but significantly adds to the length of the walk, with a longish plod back up the road/Mosesale Beck back to Wasdale Head.
It’s a great walk, all in all, but inevitably a long day!
Hope that helps.
Pillar looks quite stunning one of the Lake District big uns! Never knew there were 2 red pikes I been up the one in buttermere.
We absolutely love your videos since we found your channel. You should have loads more subscribers.
Thanks, guys!
Stunning walk in brilliant weather and a real good guide on a superb walk. I was in Buttermere last weekend looking over the Pillar and thinking, I must do that one day, I hope I get the same weather, cheers Alan
Thanks, Alan! It was a roasting day! All the best.
Great video, hope you do some more soon
Thank you! More coming soon, including Coniston Old Man!
Fantastic vid guys - love the really clear footage and details of the walk as you go. Just found the channel and now know my next binge watch ! 😊 Cheers atb
Thanks, Stuart! Will check out your films, too. Happy New Year!
I did Pillar from Buttermere, I don't suggest doing it that wat to anyone though , it's a crazy way to do it and a very long one :D
Ooof, that's a very long day, with a lot of up!
Bucket list
It's a cracker!
Great to see the views that I didnt get 2 weeks ago
Ha! That's always the way. We were in Great Langdale two weeks ago, but had to call it a day as the rain and wind set in...
Some stunning shots, great film, enjoyed watching. Cheers. Eddie.
First class
Thank you!
But you missed out Scoat Fell and Steeple, with then the classic 4 hour circuit
This is a really good video.Wish I had spent more of my younger years walking and not stupid working. My knees are knackered now but vids like this are great to watch. I hate to moan about such a good vid but more dog shots and less bloke shots would be nice.
Who or what was filming this?
We were! Happy to chat if you have specific questions.
@@LakeDistrictFilms There was remote video POV footage - all from a drone?
Yes, the long shots are largely drone shots by Skylark Aerial Photography who worked with us: www.skylark-aerialphotography.co.uk
