    I love walla crag. It was my first lake district mountain, aged 8 (ish). Thanks for doing all these awesome videos. Wish I still lived closer to this countryside.

    Another top walk/video! For me, the drone footage 5 minutes into the video with the music you played took my breath away! I'm looking forward to the next walk/video and looking to the fact that you're going to start throwing some wild camping in to split up some of the routes!👍🏻

    I found your channel through the camping video, but I am really enjoying your other videos. It's nice to come along with you on the hikes, I enjoy the learning about all the areas and peaks and as a fellow photographer it's great to see you scouting locations. Also pro tip: don't disable ads, the TH-cam algorithm will stop promoting your content if they can't make money from it. It sucks, but it's the way it works.

    Great video.. my friend and I have been visiting the lakes for years, usually at Christmas, and I did a fell run that when this side if Derwent, we realised a few years ago we’d never really been been up there for some bizarre reason.. Walla Greg, is a fantastic view… can’t believe we’ve been walking along that horrible road all these years instead, when doing a Derwent loop.

    Im chomping at the bit to get up to the Lakes but i will be starting and going through the same sequence that you have done that way i can watch your videos again before embarking on my adventure. You are a true inspiration and you are educating me on all these fells and high peaks. I will be coming up for long weekends from Kent and trying to get to has many fells as i can until i have completed all of the Wainwrights. Keep up the great work, you are the number 1 when it comes to these sorts of adventures, your commentary, filming and audio are all of the highest quality.

    Great watch as usual. Thankyou Glen. That whole stretch over wattenlath fells area is boggy. Those steps up from the farm at wattenlath up to the top high tove is very slippery when wet. Those views are insanely good from Walla Crag. I’ve walked over from the Thirlmere side (super boggy) and from rosthwaite over the top back to Keswick via Castlerigg. Dock Tarn is lovely.

    I was over the other side of the valley heading over Maiden Moor towards High Spy and said to my walking pals 'I wonder if Black Crag is over there *pointing towards High Seat/Bleaberry Fell - and threre you go -- you were. It sure was a beatuiful day - makes you glad to be alive (and so lucky we have this landscape to enjoy!)

    Another great video Glen. I wish you'd had done this one a few weeks ago before we went up high seat. We went from the Grange, up Grange fell, over to high tove, and across to high seat the way you said not to go. And yes, it was terrible. Think we could have swam across quicker. You keep walking, we'll keep watching. 👍

    So you're saying that High Tove to High Seat is worse than Bleaberry Fell to High Seat, whereas Wainwright reckoned the opposite? Havin only done the former, I'm in no position to judge, but having actually done the former and believing Wainwright, it left me wishing i had a dastardly arch-enemy that I could inveigle into crossing to or from Bleaberry in the wet season...
