Hi Patrick that was a lovely walk stunning view of the lake. I love the Lake district have been there a couple of times always stayed in a hotel in Bowness - on - Windermere , very happy memories . Hope you enjoyed the rest of the week and the weather was kind to you. :)
Good morning amd happy Friday Patrick, thanks in advance for what we are sure will be a fabulous film of one of our favourite places! One of te first places Kat ever took me to in the Lakes. We are just packing up a holiday this morning, and can it be that you spark the holiday urge before we even gey home! I remember being absolutely mesmerised by Lake Windermere and very much loving Windermere too, thanks again, Ceri and Kat 🗺💚☕️❤️👍
Hi Ceri and Kat, happy Friday to you! 😊 I know you both love the lakes too of course. Hope your holiday has been a great one for you. Nice to know this was your first location in the Lakes 😊👍
Fantastic video again Patrick and thanks for the shout-out was really good to meet you. First time visiting Orrest Head (special thanks to Ellie, for telling me about this amazing place) I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay and managed to get some more filming done. Hopefullly our paths will cross again on another walk at some point.
Hey Justin it was fab to meet you and Owen. I had a good rest of the week thanks, managed to do two more filming days, but did other stuff on the others. Hope you both had a good time in Eskdale. Catch you again soon and thanks again for watching 👍
Hi Patrick, thank you again for a great walk we loved the lake district, we were surprised to see our namesake on Orrest Head. Hope you enjoy your weeks holiday take care Dave & Jean
I really enjoyed your video of the Lake District Patrick. Some nice views and some I have never seen before. Nice to see. Hope you had a great holiday. Have a great weekend. 😊👍🙏
Thanks Cath, glad you enjoyed the video. The rest of the week turned out wetter unfortunately, but it still was a nice week thanks. Have a great weekend too 👍
Enjoyable film,thanks for sharing. Nice to see you talking to the Gruffulo, although he had nothing to say. I guess he was camera shy. A pleasure to watch once again 😊👍
Hi Patrick you take us to the best places as always thankyou, what beautiful scenery stunning, the music went very well too...very relaxing and peaceful, hope you enjoyed your week 😊
Another fabulous film Patrick 😊🙏🏼 You can certainly see why AW feel in love with the Lake District with those views 😊🤩 I do hope you had a great time Patrick Very best wishes Simon 😊🙏🏼🏔
Many thanks Simon 😊 Yeah a great spot for Wainwright to fall in the with the Lakes. The week turned out wetter after this day, but it was still a very enjoyable one. Thanks Simon, all the best 👍
Great vid patrick.. not been to the lakes for a while so a great treat.. we always stayed in ambleside.. hope had a gud time.. the room looked nice.. thankyou again.. it went down well with a few glasses of wine lol..lv Ali/R x
it was a lovely little walk that. What views up orrest. Ambleside is a nice place, I'm sure you enjoyed your stay there. Hopefully the weather stayed fine and you got some more nice walks. Enjoyable as always, cheers Patrick
Thanks Kelly, this was a nice short walk to film when I arrived in the Lakes this day. it turned wetter afterwards, but I still had a very nice week thanks. All the best 👍
Hi Patrick, lovely little hike. I get what you are saying about the kids. I love that the next generation is now experiencing the beautiful Lakes and Peaks but I find a lot very loud. But I'm older so I get it but love a Trig Point on my own. Thanks for sharing. Hope you post some more but understand if you don't. Hope you had a great holiday and the weather held for you.
Hi Chris, yes this was a nice short one to film on the day of arriving in the Lakes. It was still quite busy up there, guess everyone else had the same idea as me about the kids being back at school! 😊 Thanks for commenting and for watching 👍
Hi Patrick ,many thanks for all your wonderful videos , many of the places you film ,I have walked ,and as a Solitary Rambler myself ,can enjoy walking ,thru your videos , along parts that I mite have missed ,and your recommendations for a nice pint and food ,of course !👍🌞
Hi Tereza, thank you too for your wonderful comments and for taking the time to watch. Glad you've been enjoying the videos and and recommendations on my travels 👍
@@solitaryrambler Hi Patrick ,lovely to hear back from you! Thankyou .Recently watched your video of Orrest Head Windermere, it was fabulous .I did the walk a few years ago, love the Lake District . Take care on your travels ,🌞
Well what a loverly walk that was Patrick hope you had a good week on holiday never been to the Lake district looks inviting though Wendy says hi ! fantastic
Hello Patrick that was a lovely video. The Lake District is so lovely isn’t it. I hope you had a lovely holiday. The last time I was there our car broke down in Ambleside, it was near to the end of our stay and we had to come home to the West Midlands in a tow truck 😂😂😂, but we had a good time never the less 😊. . I’m glad your settled now in your new house and sending you best wishes, and looking forward to seeing your next video
Hi Rita, thanks for watching and commenting. I love the Lake District and would visit more often if I could. The new home is great thanks. All the best 👍
Hope the rest of your week went well, filming or not, hope it was a hoot 🦉 thanks for sharing this film with us, have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕️ ❤️ 👍 🗺 😀
Lake District is one of my favorite place to visit. I've been there once a few years back. Your original Lake District is one of my most-liked video. Thank you for revisiting!
Great video patrick..still cant believe we were in windermere on our honeymoon same time as you ...anyway i know you had a great time as did we ..and there was only one day when we had drizzle all day when we walked to loughrigg tarn then grasmere....orrest head was our first wainwright too... and also one of our lancashire walks....thanks again ...frank & lee...
Thanks Frank and Lee. I was surprised to learn you were both staying in the area when I was here, and was of course chuffed to discover you were married. I did get out two more days to film, but the weather was not so good after this. All the best 👍
It's been ages since last up around Windermere/Ambleside. Brought back memories watching your film. Some nice shots of the countryside along your route. I haven't done many walks in that area. Liked the development of your music. Hope the rest of your holiday is an enjoyable break. (p.s. nice tour of your room in B&B)
Many thanks Shanita, I love the Lakes and would go more often if I could.This was a nice short walk to film on my arrival, and it also turned out to be the driest. The rest of the week was still nice though. Thanks for your nice comments about the music again 👍
I do enjoy your films of your walks. I to live in Derbyshire and due to a very bad break of my ankle can not walk the hills. It has been a long time since I was in the Lakes. Hope it was a good week for you.
Thanks again for your walks take care and continue safe walking.Enjoy Patrick a Walker myself but. Not as regular now.Ann DeakinWarwick Leychester House care Home near Warwick UK
Hi Patrick. Nice way to start your week away👍 Some fine views from up there! And you even met a Gruffalo on the way back down...what are the chances of that!👍😁
Howdy Des, yes a nice short walk to start with in the Lakes. The weather became a bit more moist after this day though! Great to have seen that Gruffalo too, although he didn't say much! 👍😁
Good afternoon, Patrick.this was a beautiful walk. We have only ever been to the lakes many years ago with our kids. It revolved around Windermere Lake. I remember an enormous swan came ashore and did a big squirty poop 💩 from over a metre away that just missed me because I saw it coming and shot off my seat. 🤣🤣🤣
Good to see you making a video in my neck of the woods I do enjoy your videos in Derbyshire though one of my favorite walking areas Keep up the good work
Cracking video Patrick. My first visit to the Lake District was a week long stay from 01st to 08th October 1976 - part of a Geography O level field trip. Visited the lakes many times since then - our last visit was just a couple of weeks ago where we stayed in a Bothy located in Caldbeck. If you get the chance, plenty of good walks around there😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hope you had a good break , Patrick . I've just had surgery for a detached retina so your offerings will be a welcome distraction , as I've been signed off work for a month .
I’ve been looking forward to watching your Lake District adventures and you certainly picked a lovely location for a first walk. Ambleside is a lovely location for a stay. Some lovely pubs and restaurants along with plenty of walks from the doorstep. I tend do similar you yourself by leaving the car parked up as much as possible. It’s nice to have a break from driving isn’t it? Hope the weather wasn’t too bad for the rest of your trip
Thanks Anthony, I knew this day was going to be the best weatherwise, so I chose to film this short walk whilst I could. I've always liked Orrest Head even though it's a more lowland walk in the Lakes. Ambleside was a great base that week. As you say, lots of pubs and restaurants, and great walks from there too, a couple of walks I did manage to film. It was certainly nice to have a break from driving and I spent a couple of days riding on the buses for a £9 ticket, so that was really enjoyable. It turned out wetter after this day on Orrest head, but I still had a great week thanks 👍
That was wonderful but I wouldn't have expected anything less. What a terriffic viewpoint Orrest head is, views to die for so its hardly surprising that its so popular. I've not been to windermere since I was about 10 I think so its 47 yeaars ago!! Last time I was in the lakes was when my kids were little, more than 20 years ago so this video has inspired me to return. I am dying to know did you film any more walks on your holiday Patrick? Please let us all know. Thanks so much for your effort as usual.
Thanks Jeff, this was a nice easy walk to film on my arrival to the Lakes during this week. I did manage to do a bit more filming but had other days where I left the camera in the B&B in which I was staying 👍
Haha, ' a kids free week.' I don't blame you at all Patrick - it's what I would have chosen. Question. Did you choose Orrest Head all them years ago because of the Wainwright connection? It is a great view I must admit and has spawned all them books. Well, I'm sure the week went well. I hope you used a bus or two and you vlogged it. Look foreword to the other videos. All the best as always. Mark
Morning Mark, haha yeah I've always had the first full week in September off work once kids are back in school, always a good time to get away, although the Lake District was still pretty busy during my week here. Amazing that Orrest Head started off all of Wainwright's books wasn't it. I don't think I was aware of the Wainwright connection when I made my first visit there all those years ago. I'm sure I climbed Orrest Head at the time because it was close to Windermere railway station, from where I alighted, then I would have walked on to the YHA from there. Had a great rest of the week thanks, did manage to film two more walks, and spent the other days riding on the buses which was pretty awesome. Thanks for watching and commenting Mark as always. Take care down there and all the best 👍
@@solitaryrambler Hey Patrick, good move to book them weeks off. I have a school opposite me and I am so grateful when they knock off. When they play like devils I think, 'is this our future?' Ah, great to remember your old adventures on a hill youth hosteling. Fabulous times. As for the bus rides - awesome. I look forward to the walks. Peace all day.
Patrick, I think if you did a video showing the areas where they filmed Withnail and I (Penrith etc) It would bring a lot of interest to your channel as it’s a popular cult favourite!
Thanks Louie. However, you've mentioned Withnail and I before and seem determined to get me to film around Penrith because of that film 😊 As I've said before I don't remember much about that film and I have no plans to film in Penrith. I wish I had the time to film everywhere people suggested, and it would be great if the films I do make are appreciated 👍
@@solitaryrambler They are appreciated. Just thought it might bring some traffic to the channel. But maybe it’s better to stay in obscurity. Hidden gem as it were for the ones in the know.
Amzing views that afternoon, wow! 👌
Not a bad view really 😊👍
Hi Patrick great film ..I've just spent 4 days in Windermere ..First time ever to the Lake District.. what a beautiful place,looking forward to going back and exploring more 😀
Glad you enjoyed Windermere Glenn, it's a great place as you know 👍
Really enjoyable film. Thanks Patrick.

With all the big peaks around it's easy to forget there are some delightful walks at lower levels.
Hi Michael, this is a nice easy walk to start in the Lakes, which it just as beautiful as some of the higher fell walks. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Patrick, thank you again for a great walk we loved the lake district, we were surprised to see our namesake on Orrest Head. Hope you enjoy your weeks holiday take care Dave & Jean
Morning Dave and Jean, I bet you didn't know Orrest Head was named after you eh! Thanks for watching as always 👍

Glad you enjoyed it Patrick. Shame about the weather. Looking forward to your next video. 📹🙏😊👍
Enjoyable film,thanks for sharing. Nice to see you talking to the Gruffulo, although he had nothing to say. I guess he was camera shy. A pleasure to watch once again 😊👍
I was sad the gruffalo didn't say anything, but yeah he probably didn't like being filmed 😊 Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hi Patrick you take us to the best places as always thankyou, what beautiful scenery stunning, the music went very well too...very relaxing and peaceful, hope you enjoyed your week 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Steph, thanks for your kind comments and for watching 👍

always interesting to see if there are any new musical phrases to your films that turn up.
I always try to come up with new ideas, although it's quite hard really 👍
