Hi Alan Your content is caught my attention ...wow this is wonderful to be here connecting with your adventure. Watching & greetings from here in Asia Macau🙂😊
It is nice to have some easier hikes to do. The weather is still a bit blustery and cold for you. Nice that there is a wind break on the mountain to hide behind. The views were beautiful. Great hike. Keep on exploring. Have a great day.
Thanks very much for stopping by and second hike of the morning so real nice to have a dead easy one, only took me 25 minutes to get to the top but the views were great. Nice views for very little effort, I sure liked that, cheers Alan
The best videos with an excellent incredible panoramic view. The sky looks clear and transparent. I hope you are well brother with your beautiful family. Always my support for you my brother. Excellent video definitely.👍🎼🤘🏻🏕🏞⛰🏔🗺🎼🤘🏻👍👍👍
This was the second hike of the day, so was always going to be a small one but real surprised at how good the view was, given how little work I had to put in. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Great views all around, indeed! Even I could probably hike up that one with my two rebuilt knees, LOL. We enjoyed. Thanks for sharing, Alan, have a nice week. Greetings from Naples, Florida. (Like 67) 👍💯
I have two knees that are waiting to be rebuilt but I am trying to put that off as long as possible - yikkes! A real easy walk and only 25 minutes to the top but some great views when I got there, so I will be back again but in the summer. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Good Morning from Maine, USA ☀️ Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful area with us. It is absolutely gorgeous there. It’s breathtaking really! Have a blessed day! 🕊
You are so welcome Kat, really appreciate you stopping by and so nice to feel that cold air in my lungs and the sun of my face again, a true blessing, cheers Alan
Such awesome Binsey! The views looks gorgeous and those clouds and golden grasses looks so fabulous! So enjoyed watching your fantastic sharing 😍❤️👍👍Greeting from Color&Shawn,wishing you a blessed day 🤗🤗
Beautiful hike. Sometimes it’s good to just do an easy one. Especially when it’s as beautiful as that one. I know what you mean about folks not respecting the signs or others wishes. That’s the way trails get closed down. Another awesome video Alan. 👍👍
Thanks so much for stopping by and another of the smaller fells I have been leaving alone for years but turned out to be so much better than I expected, cheers Alan
Real eye opener that one Alan. What a lovely little fell and what a great inclusion into a day whereby you might tick one or two more things off the list. Time very well spent. Ah, getting recognised, must be a genuine pleasure, for us it only happens when we repeatedly film the same people rocking up at festivals, thats a real honour, but to be out and about doing something we love and see a fan would/will be really special. Binsey is a real beaut, ive had many a friend visit that wildlife park and even the drive past is impressive. Will be interesting to see if you cover it! ♥️🥾
Yes, I did film it, not looked at the footage yet as (surprisingly) I have a few videos in the bank but I really enjoyed a couple of hours there, before I finished off the day wandering around Keswick till dusk. Real surprised at how easy this was and Ling Fell, which I climbed first thing when I got there and the great views both of them gave after very little work. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It is a very high mountain that seems to touch the sky, and the change of clouds in the sky is so fantastic , and all the scenery is really nice.. I support your wonderful life with beautiful nature. Jj.
It's always fun to do a hike for the first time! It was a little windy but very clear for the most part. That's cool you ran into one of your viewers on the trail! Thanks for sharing your hike with us, Alan!
Thanks for watching Eric and a Fell I have passed over for year and years as I did not think it would be worth the effort but turned out to be real nice. Cheers Alan
Hi, Alan. It sounds the winter is still swirling around you. This is one of my favorites I would love to have it in a frame. I am speechless to view this. 3:06 What's the incredible documentation throughout the hike! Interesting and yet important sign about dogs. 3:14 Indeed, it is nice to have shelter behind dry stone wall, I reckon.
The shelter was real nice as the wind was really blowing hard and it was a biting wind too. Once you sat down in the shelter the wind died completely, so I had a nice one break there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It's a fascinating summit too Alan for such relatively little effort. A little gem. You and Eddie Caisley are my go too for these walking videos-always worth watching.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes I enjoy Eddies videos too and a real canny lad he is as well. Real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Hi Alan! You can't beat free parking! What a beautiful sky, the aquamarine colour was amazing, and the sun bursting through the clouds was stunning. It's fun to discover a new hike, and this one had such wonderful views. I always enjoy listening to you talk as you walk along as well. Hope you're having a great weekend. All the best ~ Julie & Lucy
Glad you enjoyed it and that you so much for stopping by. This was my second hike of the day, so perfect that it was such a nice small one but it still gave me such a wonderful 360 at the top, I really enjoyed it, cheers Alan
I did Binsey as one of three one day. I’ve done that a couple of times now with lower fells. It’s a cracking day out with a brew in the car every time and a bit of a rest. Thanks Alan always informative and entertaining 👍
Thanks very much for watching John and a first for me but what a very underrated Fell it was and my second of the day. I ended up at the Wildlife park afterwards and then on to Keswick till it was almost dark - I like my moneys worth :o). Cheers Alan
Hi Alan, another one for me and the family, i have been to the wildlife park with my girls we all enjoyed the birds of prey flying display, plenty of animals there including meercats and monkeys, nice day out mate cheers nigel
Glad you enjoyed it and perfect for a family, only took me 25 minutes to get to the top and I went to the wildlife park afterwards, which is only about 2 miles away from where I parked. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great views for very little effort and real pleased I have finally got around to doing this Fell, which turned out so much better than I was expecting. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Probably the most under rated Wainwright Alan? It was the trigger for me resuming my fell walking after back problems. Ideal starter fell.Keep up the good work Alan.
Thanks very much for watching and good to hear you are back out hiking again. Funny enough I was back there 2 days ago with my son in horrendous conditions, we were stopping 8 minutes away and he wanted to climb a Wainwright, so despite the awful weather, this was the best option lol, cheers Alan
It was and I was not expecting much to be fair but the views turned out to be real good for very little work indeed. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Alan, I like that you answered the question around accessible Fells to hike. That's got to be so helpful to people who want to hike where you are. Gosh the colours your camera catches are so beautiful! I'm a fast walker too lol .
I get asked a lot of questions on different hikes, so I always try and help out when I can A great day to be out walking, apart from that wind, it was blowing a gale on the tops lol. Thanks so much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. This was a nice and easy climb. It didn't look as windy at first as it was up at the top but the view is really amazing. Take care and see you soon. Sretana and Zac.😊🤗
I was real windy at the top but second hike of the morning for me so I was pleased it was such a tiny Fell to climb. Real nice view from the top mind and the shelter was also perfect for getting out of the wind. Thanks so much for watching, cheers Alan
Spot on Alan 👍, we camped on Binsey last night, not a breath of wind last night, cracking views too, great view of skiddaw and bassenthwaite lake👌, funny you should mention the wildlife park, we went there a few days ago, really enjoyed it, and we also think Binsey is our easiest to get up Alan..well so far, good watch Alan as always mate, atb Mick 👍
Thanks for watching Mick and yes (when it is not blowing a gale) a perfect wildcamp, nice easy up, great views and canny shelter to chill out with a beer! Cheers Alan
Another one for me to consider this summer..................a little gem Alan, well out of the way of the tourists with great rolling scenery, great stuff mate.....👍👌...................PS just watched the lords-seat(north yorks) video...........unable to leave a comment....I spend around 5months a year(sept-feb) in that area helping the local gamekeeper during the shooting season so know it well...................ATB.........Stu/Wendy..............Hi to the Mrs.
Thanks very much for watching Stu and yes this is a little gem, could not believe for such little effort to get to the top (25 minutes) you got such a big view and a real nice shelter and cairn as well. I hope you make it there in the summer, best wishes to you both, cheers Alan
Left it for years and years Christine, as I did not think it would be worth it but turned out to be a real nice summit with a great cairn and shelter and what a brilliant 360, I will be back there again one day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Absolutely and funny how some of the smallest Fells has some of the best views, this has to be the easiest Fell I have ever done, 25 minutes to the top and that included me walking my for my pole too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Very informative, especially such for a novice. Like your selection of music, dynamic! I have seen your fearless beast hiking and now I see we all can enjoy hiking on how high and challenging the mountains are.Sorry for my belated comment. I just got back from vacation.
I hope you vacation went well and you got plenty of footage, although, sometimes it is nice to leave the camera at home and just chill out and relax. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Oh Alan 3:09 is the money shot! Frame that gorgeous image! Sorry we're late to the party here, YT has just decided to make me aware of this post!! Thank you for giving us our weekly dose of beauty from the mountain tops. I do miss them living here in Florida.
Thanks so much for stopping by and yes YT can be funny sometimes. I wrote a great big comment on a video I watched last night and when I checked back it had completely disappeared :o(. Cheers Alan
Thanks for stopping by and a real nice little walk but with a great view from the top. Shame about that pesky wind but at this time of the year, got to expect it, cheers Alan
Totally agree Anthony, my first time there but I hope to bring out 3 year old grandson back here in the summer, perfect for him. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Not done this fell but looks a lovely one for beginners! Still a little breezy! Can’t believe you forgot your pole and went back for it, you are super dedicated Alan, that’s for sure! Great video as always! X have a great week ❤️
It was a real nice pole that I have had for almost a year (I used to go through them like a hot knife through butter) and I left it laying on the car, so the chances of it being there when I got back were slim. You should have seen the look on my face (before I started filming) when I realised and set back walk to the car lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good thing you weren't too far yet so you could go get the pole. I'd love to hike in that area .... I am just too far away LOL, nice to hear it's good for families. Great views for sure. That is great that someone recognized you too it sounds like he was a fast mover LOL.
More like I am a slow mover lol, but a real nice lad to have a chat with. very family friendly Fell for sure and will hope to take out 3 year old grandson back there in the summer. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Nice one Alan You did a lot of elevation that day. Ling Fell once and Binsey one and a half times 😃. I always forget something - normally battery charging or SD card Great views from up there - never done it but it does look a good one. Hope you’ve had a great weekend Alan mate
From where I parked it is less than 25 minutes to the top and thant includes my extra trip as well lol. Funny enough, for very little work you get a great view, great shelter and a real nice cairn as well, so plenty of bang for your buck. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
No problem and it was a real nice gentle little walk, second one of the day for me so I could really relax on this one. Thanks for stopping by, cheer Alan
This looks my kinda climb to be honest, hoping to eventually travel 'up north' this year and hoping to hit up the Lake's and this looks like a really good calm walk with some stunning views, thank you for showing it to us and giving inspiration. Who doesn't love some free parking either! Love the views, it's crazy how clear it is from Binsey. Great video! 🥾
This was my second climb of the day, so it was nice it was a nice easy one and just and up and down, free parking is always a bonus in the lakes too. Lovely views at the top mind and a nice cairn and shelter, which was very useful in that wind. Good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
There are a few routes up you can take, some longer and more of a challenge but this one is the easiest and with the bonus (if you are there early enough) of a free parking. It took me 25 minutes to walk to the top and that included me going back for my walking pole I left on the car. Great 360 at the top, nice cairn and shelter as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It’s a cracking little hill Alan, I took the daughter up there a few year back . She wasn’t too happy as there was a hound trail taking part and she ain’t no dog lover 😂😂 . But yeah it’s easy and packs some great views indeed. Atb Dave
Very true Dave and I am with your daughter on dogs, I was attacked by an Alsatian when I was 3 years old and still to this day very weary around any dogs. Great summit view for very little work. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
lovely little tiddler Alan...great to have the shelter to yourself...well done on praising the responsible dog owners...that's a topic that really gets my Goat...Does the sun follow you around, we have not seen it on our walks for months...Cheers Steven
Haha, I wish, I just wait for it to come out and then I head straight for it lol. I had a right gloomy one over the lakes yesterday, mountain forecast said full sun all day on the summits - never saw it once. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thanks very much for stopping by and a little Fell that I have drove passed many times without any interest but turns out it was a great (but very windy) view from the top, cheers Alan
You would have no problem with this one Andy, real nice little walk up to the summit but a real nice 360 when you get there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Right on both, about 25 minutes to the top, yet the views were great from there, very underrated Fell I think. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hey Alan, great film as usual, thoroughly enjoyed it. It must of taken you some time to drive to that one from home mate, dedication to the channel for you. Never seen anyone go up that one so it was nice to see you do it and show us all. Despite being not the biggest it looked a wonderful fell with great views and as you say, ideal for families but it certainly looked wind up there. Thanks Alan, take care
I drove to Ling Fell first, which is almost 2 hours from home and then headed to Binsey as it was about a 10/15 drive away. I also went in and filmed at the Wildlife Park as well on the same day so ended up with 3 separate videos, which helps to keep the costs down, which will keep Mrs Metalman happy lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thanks, you too! Every now and again it is so nice just to do an easy walk and then be surprised at what a great view you get at the end, really enjoyed this one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely day out for you mate and what a charming little fell. I’m the same as you I’ve always thought I’ll do it later and other ones have taken priority but I think I might have to run up or camp it just so it’s another one ticked off 🙌🏼. Hope you’re well my friend ATB Steve
I think you would be able to run up it Steve and with a camping pack on, took me less than 25 minutes to the top and that included me going back for my walking pole lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
This did look like a really beautiful place Alan and great that there is free parking there. Good to know that you think this is the smallest and easiest fell to do. Funny when you said you had nightmares about one particular one 😄The views were great here even though it was windy and you said it was cloudy but I loved the colours and nice that there is heather there, I always like to see that. That's so good that someone recognised you, Hope you had a good time if you ended up at the wildlife park or Keswick Market 😃 I enjoyed this :) ~ Anna 👍
I did end up at the wildlife park and Keswick until it got dusk before heading home, it was such a good day, did not want it to end. Yes, I remember that monster day last year, we walked 5 miles through the forest before we got to the base Pillar, which is a monster climb and then started to climb up. We ended up doing another 4 Fells while we were up there and then had the long descent back down and the even longer 5 miles walk back to the car, I was almost delirious when I got back LOL! How on earth I manged the 3.25hr drive back home I do not know 😳. Thanks so much for watching Anna, cheers Alan
Very true, nice pole as well so no ways was I going to chance it still being there when I got back lol. Lovely little walk and perfect for our 3 year old grandson in the summer. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Might be a good one for me to try for my first one and get me into the swing of things :) impressive view :) definitely need your water bottle! Lovely views from up there and a nice wind shelter :) with those views what could be better x
If you have never done a Fell before this one and this route would be perfect, took me 25 minutes to reach the top and what a reward, great views, lovely shelter and a real nice cairn as well. Fingers crossed you get to do at least one Fell if you ever visit. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I will be up there again at some point, really impressive views and hardly any work to get there either, real underrated Fell. Thanks very much for watching Linda, cheers Alan
I lost my first compass on Binsey!☹️ I don't suppose you found it, it was only about 45 years ago 😂🤔😲! That wildlife park wasn't Workington was it?!🤔😲🤣🤣. Only joking Marra's Good views from the top aren't they? The la'll ones are often the best 👍 Another great video Alan, TFS cheers Alistair 👍
Could not believe what a good view you got for very little work on the route I took up. Throw in a great shelter and cairn, you sure get your moneys worth up there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Absolutely class as usual Alan mate 👏 One of my favourite camps was there with little Shmick, it was the perfect hike for him 👌 Good stuff marra, all the best Chris 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Chris and good of you to watch. Been passed it many times but never bothered with it but turned out to be a great 360 and a canny shelter at the top too, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN no worries mate, I'm still watching nearly every video, just struggling to keep up with the comments on my channel but I'm not complaining 🙂👍
You got that right, especially after I had already done a bigger one earlier in the morning lol. Turned out to be a very east but also very rewarding walk with a great view. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Alan, great little fell indeed, why I didn't do it when we were staying in Mockerkin I'll never know!! Nice to meet a few folk to chat with too, metal mania!! The animal park you mentioned we did visit and it's a good family attraction. I did a video but must have kept it for the family only as it's not on youtube. I'm going to have to get my walk planning into year soon, plenty of ideas though. Any walks youd really like to do? My procedure went well, stitches out next week, and then get back to some fitness work! Regards, Ashley
The Kentmere Horseshoe for sure, I have been saving for you both, never done it, although I may have done a couple of the Fells. Good to hear that all went well at the weekend and you will be back into full training ASAP. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thanks for the visit and we had a right covering yesterday morning but as always at this time of the year it was mostly gone by tea time, summer on the way, I hope lol! Cheers Alan
Very true Max, left this alone of years as I did not think it was even worth it but turned out to be real nice, massive view for hardly any effort at all. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I'd put Binsey fourth on my list of easy Wainwrights. I think Latrigg is the easiest Wainwright - if you "cheat" and park at Underskiddaw. It's about the same distance as Binsey, but only around half the ascent, so even an unfit overweight old man like me can do it without getting out of breath. The path is also suitable for wheelchairs and there's a bench near the top, so it's suitable for pretty much anyone. Second and third on my list would be Little Mell Fell and High Rigg.
Yes I would agree on that and real pleased I finally got this Fell done, as I have bypassed it for years thinking it was not really worth it. Turns out the 360 from the top was great so more than worth it in the end. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Beautiful film clarity as usual Alan and like you say a nice easy route(I’ll certainly consider this on my return to the Lakes in May). Are you using the Rode wireless mic? Cheers Mike 👍
I got rid of them Mike, I know it sounds a bit daft but they were too good. If I am out on a real blowy day I do like to hear a bit of back ground noise as I think it adds to the realism of the day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Almost feels cheating doing this as a Wainwright. From the road, I think it's just over a mile and 600 feet. Although after your exploits on Great Mell Fell, you deserved an easy one.
Haha, yes I did lol. I know what you mean but I had already been up Ling Fell previously and then went to the Wildlife Park and then onto Keswick for the rest of the day - I like my moneys worth lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Spot on Alan 👍, we camped on Binsey last night, not a breath of wind last night, cracking views too, great view of skiddaw and bassenthwaite lake👌, funny you should mention the wildlife park, we went there a few days ago, really enjoyed it, and we also think Binsey is our easiest to get up Alan..well so far, good watch Alan as always mate, atb Mick 👍
Thanks for watching Mick and yes (when it is not blowing a gale) a perfect wildcamp, nice easy up, great views and canny shelter to chill out with a beer! Cheers Alan
Love Binsey .. Its one of the best fells to watch a sunset . Dead easy to walk back down in the dark .
First time but will not be the last time, it was great, really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@Alan METALMAN - Outdoors do it on a summers evening next time and watch the sun go down behind the Criffel
Another one for me to consider this summer..................a little gem Alan, well out of the way of the tourists with great rolling scenery, great stuff mate.....👍👌...................PS just watched the lords-seat(north yorks) video...........unable to leave a comment....I spend around 5months a year(sept-feb) in that area helping the local gamekeeper during the shooting season so know it well...................ATB.........Stu/Wendy..............Hi to the Mrs.
Thanks very much for watching Stu and yes this is a little gem, could not believe for such little effort to get to the top (25 minutes) you got such a big view and a real nice shelter and cairn as well. I hope you make it there in the summer, best wishes to you both, cheers Alan
Great video Alan. Good to see the amazing views you got from this wonderful friendly little fell. 👍
Left it for years and years Christine, as I did not think it would be worth it but turned out to be a real nice summit with a great cairn and shelter and what a brilliant 360, I will be back there again one day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely little video Alan. Latrigg Is another easy walk with stunning views down Derwentwater. 👍
Absolutely and funny how some of the smallest Fells has some of the best views, this has to be the easiest Fell I have ever done, 25 minutes to the top and that included me walking my for my pole too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Very informative, especially such for a novice. Like your selection of music, dynamic! I have seen your fearless beast hiking and now I see we all can enjoy hiking on how high and challenging the mountains are.Sorry for my belated comment. I just got back from vacation.
I hope you vacation went well and you got plenty of footage, although, sometimes it is nice to leave the camera at home and just chill out and relax. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Oh Alan 3:09 is the money shot! Frame that gorgeous image! Sorry we're late to the party here, YT has just decided to make me aware of this post!! Thank you for giving us our weekly dose of beauty from the mountain tops. I do miss them living here in Florida.
Thanks so much for stopping by and yes YT can be funny sometimes. I wrote a great big comment on a video I watched last night and when I checked back it had completely disappeared :o(. Cheers Alan
Hello Alan. Wonderful hike with great views. Great video👍
Thanks for stopping by and a real nice little walk but with a great view from the top. Shame about that pesky wind but at this time of the year, got to expect it, cheers Alan
I agree Alan, Binsey is a great choice for a first timer or family. Fantastic views all round, and has the advantage of being a quiet Fell too!👍👍
Totally agree Anthony, my first time there but I hope to bring out 3 year old grandson back here in the summer, perfect for him. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great shots Alan, scenery and colors are just spectacular here. I also have those few trails "I'll finish later". 😁
Haha, yes, good to finally knock this one off and up there in about 25 minutes. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Not done this fell but looks a lovely one for beginners! Still a little breezy! Can’t believe you forgot your pole and went back for it, you are super dedicated Alan, that’s for sure! Great video as always! X have a great week ❤️
It was a real nice pole that I have had for almost a year (I used to go through them like a hot knife through butter) and I left it laying on the car, so the chances of it being there when I got back were slim. You should have seen the look on my face (before I started filming) when I realised and set back walk to the car lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It's a very beautiful place
Yes, thank you, real good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Good thing you weren't too far yet so you could go get the pole. I'd love to hike in that area .... I am just too far away LOL, nice to hear it's good for families. Great views for sure. That is great that someone recognized you too it sounds like he was a fast mover LOL.
More like I am a slow mover lol, but a real nice lad to have a chat with. very family friendly Fell for sure and will hope to take out 3 year old grandson back there in the summer. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Nice one Alan
You did a lot of elevation that day. Ling Fell once and Binsey one and a half times 😃. I always forget something - normally battery charging or SD card
Great views from up there - never done it but it does look a good one.
Hope you’ve had a great weekend Alan mate
From where I parked it is less than 25 minutes to the top and thant includes my extra trip as well lol. Funny enough, for very little work you get a great view, great shelter and a real nice cairn as well, so plenty of bang for your buck. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
That looked like a great trail! Thank you for bringing us along!
No problem and it was a real nice gentle little walk, second one of the day for me so I could really relax on this one. Thanks for stopping by, cheer Alan
This looks my kinda climb to be honest, hoping to eventually travel 'up north' this year and hoping to hit up the Lake's and this looks like a really good calm walk with some stunning views, thank you for showing it to us and giving inspiration. Who doesn't love some free parking either! Love the views, it's crazy how clear it is from Binsey. Great video! 🥾
This was my second climb of the day, so it was nice it was a nice easy one and just and up and down, free parking is always a bonus in the lakes too. Lovely views at the top mind and a nice cairn and shelter, which was very useful in that wind. Good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Thank you for showing this little Wainwright. I didn't know about it or that it was quite easy. I'll definitely be tackling this one soon x
There are a few routes up you can take, some longer and more of a challenge but this one is the easiest and with the bonus (if you are there early enough) of a free parking. It took me 25 minutes to walk to the top and that included me going back for my walking pole I left on the car. Great 360 at the top, nice cairn and shelter as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good one.Enjoyed watching this video. Thanks. Happy Sunday.
Thank you and you too. A very short walk but a real nice view from the top, so real pleased I did it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It’s a cracking little hill Alan, I took the daughter up there a few year back . She wasn’t too happy as there was a hound trail taking part and she ain’t no dog lover 😂😂 . But yeah it’s easy and packs some great views indeed. Atb Dave
Very true Dave and I am with your daughter on dogs, I was attacked by an Alsatian when I was 3 years old and still to this day very weary around any dogs. Great summit view for very little work. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
lovely little tiddler Alan...great to have the shelter to yourself...well done on praising the responsible dog owners...that's a topic that really gets my Goat...Does the sun follow you around, we have not seen it on our walks for months...Cheers Steven
Haha, I wish, I just wait for it to come out and then I head straight for it lol. I had a right gloomy one over the lakes yesterday, mountain forecast said full sun all day on the summits - never saw it once. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nice video Alan. A good little fell. And free parking always is a bonus :-) !
Looks like a great place to hike my friend
Only a short hike John but a real big view, which suited me real fine. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
0:53 I can see ....... 3:37 Yeah, that does sound like bitter wind ....... 4:00 Glorious sky ...... 4:26 Just LOOK at that ...... 7:25 There we go.
Thanks very much for stopping by and a little Fell that I have drove passed many times without any interest but turns out it was a great (but very windy) view from the top, cheers Alan
Looks a nice easy one for someone like myself to do. Thanks for sharing it with us Alan.
You would have no problem with this one Andy, real nice little walk up to the summit but a real nice 360 when you get there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Like yourself I've drove past binsey & said I must get it done🤔you beat me to it.great views for little effort 👌 nice spot for a quick over nighter 👍
Right on both, about 25 minutes to the top, yet the views were great from there, very underrated Fell I think. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video Alan. Wishing you a wonderful upcoming week. Take care 👍
Real nice of you to stop by and a real nice little walk but a great 360 at the summit, cheers Alan
Hey Alan, great film as usual, thoroughly enjoyed it. It must of taken you some time to drive to that one from home mate, dedication to the channel for you. Never seen anyone go up that one so it was nice to see you do it and show us all. Despite being not the biggest it looked a wonderful fell with great views and as you say, ideal for families but it certainly looked wind up there. Thanks Alan, take care
I drove to Ling Fell first, which is almost 2 hours from home and then headed to Binsey as it was about a 10/15 drive away. I also went in and filmed at the Wildlife Park as well on the same day so ended up with 3 separate videos, which helps to keep the costs down, which will keep Mrs Metalman happy lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
very nice Alan. nice to have a easy hike and some nice views. thank you and take good care and be safe.
Thanks, you too! Every now and again it is so nice just to do an easy walk and then be surprised at what a great view you get at the end, really enjoyed this one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely day out for you mate and what a charming little fell. I’m the same as you I’ve always thought I’ll do it later and other ones have taken priority but I think I might have to run up or camp it just so it’s another one ticked off 🙌🏼. Hope you’re well my friend ATB Steve
I think you would be able to run up it Steve and with a camping pack on, took me less than 25 minutes to the top and that included me going back for my walking pole lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN that sounds like my type of hill 😂.
This did look like a really beautiful place Alan and great that there is free parking there. Good to know that you think this is the smallest and easiest fell to do. Funny when you said you had nightmares about one particular one 😄The views were great here even though it was windy and you said it was cloudy but I loved the colours and nice that there is heather there, I always like to see that. That's so good that someone recognised you, Hope you had a good time if you ended up at the wildlife park or Keswick Market 😃 I enjoyed this :) ~ Anna 👍
I did end up at the wildlife park and Keswick until it got dusk before heading home, it was such a good day, did not want it to end. Yes, I remember that monster day last year, we walked 5 miles through the forest before we got to the base Pillar, which is a monster climb and then started to climb up. We ended up doing another 4 Fells while we were up there and then had the long descent back down and the even longer 5 miles walk back to the car, I was almost delirious when I got back LOL! How on earth I manged the 3.25hr drive back home I do not know 😳. Thanks so much for watching Anna, cheers Alan
Nice bimble to Binsey if you remember your pole and it's not blowing a gale. Cheers Alan
Very true, nice pole as well so no ways was I going to chance it still being there when I got back lol. Lovely little walk and perfect for our 3 year old grandson in the summer. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Might be a good one for me to try for my first one and get me into the swing of things :) impressive view :) definitely need your water bottle! Lovely views from up there and a nice wind shelter :) with those views what could be better x
If you have never done a Fell before this one and this route would be perfect, took me 25 minutes to reach the top and what a reward, great views, lovely shelter and a real nice cairn as well. Fingers crossed you get to do at least one Fell if you ever visit. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Very nice views there, got to the lakes myself today, and the next 2 days look awesome if not cold, should be good.
Nice video, Alan.
Looks like it is going to be cold but nice and crisp and clear too - enjoy! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Binsey is a great little fell. I did not expect to see that big shelter on a tiny fell. And yes, the views are amazing!
I will be up there again at some point, really impressive views and hardly any work to get there either, real underrated Fell. Thanks very much for watching Linda, cheers Alan
Just finishing Alan for 5 fv in total - all the best
That's real good of you, appreciate you watching and brining back memories of a nice little Fell, cheers Alan
I lost my first compass on Binsey!☹️ I don't suppose you found it, it was only about 45 years ago 😂🤔😲!
That wildlife park wasn't Workington was it?!🤔😲🤣🤣. Only joking Marra's
Good views from the top aren't they?
The la'll ones are often the best 👍
Another great video Alan, TFS cheers Alistair 👍
Could not believe what a good view you got for very little work on the route I took up. Throw in a great shelter and cairn, you sure get your moneys worth up there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Absolutely class as usual Alan mate 👏 One of my favourite camps was there with little Shmick, it was the perfect hike for him 👌 Good stuff marra, all the best Chris 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Chris and good of you to watch. Been passed it many times but never bothered with it but turned out to be a great 360 and a canny shelter at the top too, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN no worries mate, I'm still watching nearly every video, just struggling to keep up with the comments on my channel but I'm not complaining 🙂👍
Fabulous Shares New Friend💫🫶✨❤️💫🫶✨❤️
Thank you very much for watching, real nice of you, cheers Alan
Easiest way up is what I’m all about Alan 😂. Beautiful area Brother! 🤘🏼
You got that right, especially after I had already done a bigger one earlier in the morning lol. Turned out to be a very east but also very rewarding walk with a great view. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
A nice fell walk Alan (big mountain small hill as long as you enjoy it 🤠🙏🏼)
Those clouds 6:28 look spectacular 😊
All the best Simon 🤠🙏🏼
I hit on lucky with the weather, a bit on the blustery side, especially on the top but I can live with that. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Alan, great little fell indeed, why I didn't do it when we were staying in Mockerkin I'll never know!! Nice to meet a few folk to chat with too, metal mania!! The animal park you mentioned we did visit and it's a good family attraction. I did a video but must have kept it for the family only as it's not on youtube. I'm going to have to get my walk planning into year soon, plenty of ideas though. Any walks youd really like to do? My procedure went well, stitches out next week, and then get back to some fitness work! Regards, Ashley
The Kentmere Horseshoe for sure, I have been saving for you both, never done it, although I may have done a couple of the Fells. Good to hear that all went well at the weekend and you will be back into full training ASAP. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN I’ll get a plan together and forward it to you. I’m on light duties this week!!
awesome ! big like
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
enjoyed watching Alan - hows the snow at your end of the country - wishing you a great weekend like 96 with a FV as always
Thanks for the visit and we had a right covering yesterday morning but as always at this time of the year it was mostly gone by tea time, summer on the way, I hope lol! Cheers Alan
Small maybe but still pretty!
Very true Max, left this alone of years as I did not think it was even worth it but turned out to be real nice, massive view for hardly any effort at all. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. I'll add that to my list of "Maria friendly fells" 👍😁 Might not be a massive walk, but still stunning views up there👍
Sure were Des and I was at the top in 25 minutes, which included my walk back for my walking pole lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I'd put Binsey fourth on my list of easy Wainwrights. I think Latrigg is the easiest Wainwright - if you "cheat" and park at Underskiddaw. It's about the same distance as Binsey, but only around half the ascent, so even an unfit overweight old man like me can do it without getting out of breath. The path is also suitable for wheelchairs and there's a bench near the top, so it's suitable for pretty much anyone. Second and third on my list would be Little Mell Fell and High Rigg.
Yes I would agree on that and real pleased I finally got this Fell done, as I have bypassed it for years thinking it was not really worth it. Turns out the 360 from the top was great so more than worth it in the end. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Beautiful film clarity as usual Alan and like you say a nice easy route(I’ll certainly consider this on my return to the Lakes in May). Are you using the Rode wireless mic? Cheers Mike 👍
I got rid of them Mike, I know it sounds a bit daft but they were too good. If I am out on a real blowy day I do like to hear a bit of back ground noise as I think it adds to the realism of the day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Almost feels cheating doing this as a Wainwright. From the road, I think it's just over a mile and 600 feet. Although after your exploits on Great Mell Fell, you deserved an easy one.
Haha, yes I did lol. I know what you mean but I had already been up Ling Fell previously and then went to the Wildlife Park and then onto Keswick for the rest of the day - I like my moneys worth lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
