What a hike-incredible scenery, rain, and bogs! Thank you so much for the incredible feedback about my walking socks! I'm really honoured to hear that you have worn them on so many adventures. Thank you for your support.
Right , watching again now , you've just pointed out Fairfield through the cloud. This is a serious walk Glenn , and your knowledge of where things are is amazing. You're a credit to yourself !
Me and 13 year old son did our first big walk catbells,maiden moore , highspy and it was claggy like this , we still had a amazing time theres still beauty in the ugly conditions
I only drive through the Lake District due to mobility. I really appreciate all the hard work of taking us lot with you and the great work that you do.
So many times, I've been out with waterproof trousers in the bag in case the rain comes down, and when the rain comes down, I can't be bothered stopping to get them out and put them on. Each and every time experiencing the same regret later, vowing to not repeat the same mistake again. Fast forward to next time and repeat.
You should have your own tv program you're videos are soo good. You have inspired me to walk the lake's which I've done for past 3 yrs and I follow you're knowledge. Thank-you for everything you are doing xx
It makes such a difference to your experience in the fells having the deep and intimate knowledge of the Lakes that you have Glen. I am a Black Clan member and really look forward to your new content as it's published, you are a very lucky guy !!
I love it when the rocks push up into the clag and when you look down over a precipice and can see the scenery through the clag...it is so atmospheric.
Enjoy every minute of your hikes ... your moaning, your thirst for a pint ... your craving for food 😅 ... enjoy every bit of it ... even more so when little Finn is with you 😊
Oh the sound of water coming in to the boots 👢 lovely 😂😂😂😂excellent mate,terrific scenery, people come from all over the world to see this landscape, we are very very lucky in the UK to 'own this' ❤😊😊💯👌
Great endurance that's for sure. Thanks for taking us again. I always had wet feet until I bit the bullet on some scarpa delta gtx and was never wet again 👍
Bro you've earned your watery curry (sans or avec bananage)! Great bog-slogging and atmospheric as hell. Gollum territory for sure. Bring on the next stretch.
I've always thought the hardest videos to shoot are always the best. This video bolsters that sentiment. Outstanding! This is one of my favs of yours. From the bleepin' bleepin' bogfest to the the low hung clouds and those Herdies that mock your every step. And you were were in rare, and entertaining, form with the moanin', waffling and sloshing about. The scenery was stunning. Who needs a blue sky? You seemed on the verge of giddy when you finally crawled into your tent and busted out the curry. Charming! A magnificent "Misty Mountain Hop". Don't stop!
😆😅🤭 I did feel so sorry for him,I can put up with a lot of things but wet feet like No,the vids are great though and we do look forward to watching,that weather though😳
Quite a walk Glenn , lovely video too - I'm just at the point where you had a weep before broad crag. And yes , it looks very wet ! But , it wouldn't be the lakes without rain would it.... Keep up the great work 👍
I remember many Lake District adventures when the rain totally penetrated the best waterproof gear. The rain came down, the wind sent it up, sideways and all around. Happy days.
Respect, man, that was some journey. I enjoy the rain and the clag (to an extent), and can take the slippy rocks, but all that boggage would've done me 'ed in. I'd have surrendered and pitched for the night well before you did! Keep on squelchin' !!
Good afternoon glen Will what a different kind of walking video wet and then sunny and then cloudy and more wet but I’ve really enjoyed it thank I’m glad I was at home on sofa with me cuppa looking forward to the next one and fingers cross it will be dry and no rain for you glen thanks again for the fab walks 😊x
Terrible conditions today. Reminds me of my DofE expedition in a similar area - Angle Tarn - water pouring into tent and out of door - urg!! Every now and then you got some good pictures. Thanks for putting in the effort to film the adventure.
Love your vlogs...I dont get chance to keep up to date with all you get up to but its never boring..I used to be one of only two Terra Nova reps in the UK so Ive spent my fair share under canvas...I live next to a river now in North Wales and hear those voices everynight as I have the window open...so glad there are still folk like you but have to say I never want to see the inside of a tent again ...everythings bloody hard work wild camping...dont miss checking for ticks on my return home! Stay cool .
You were off to a soggy start Glenn. My life choice would not be in the bolder field especially in the rain. On a more positive side, I admire your drive and enthusiasm. It all worked out in the end. Your Vlogs are always a good watch 👀Thank you so much.👋👌
Yes, agree with you about camping by water. I hear various voices etc. when camping near streams etc. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Always enjoy your adventures!
4th time watching and counting, got to say, this is one of the best walks yet! You're absolutely spot on about the bog on Langdales. I remember losing patience with the boggy slog from Pike o' Stickle to High raise, testing every bit of my patience finally I managed to land myself into a deep mud upto the waist length. Despite all the swearing I absolutely loved it. You've really hit your stride here; usually, you’re a bit jumpy and manic in your Lake District walks, but this one’s just bang on. Brilliant work, and cheers for sharing it.
I'm really enjoying these videos. You're a tough one, camping in the rain with wet clotges. And yes Foxes Tarn Gulley is horrible. We came down it quite a few years ago. I used the same word and complained all the way down.
You did really well walking through the gorgeous landscape ethan, though it was hard going sometimes. I never want the walks to end, but you seem to be very fit.
As I’m watching you’ve just mentioned the gulley route to Foxes Tarn. We went up this way to bag Scafell and then returned via same route to head back up to Scafell Pike via Mickledore having bagged that highest peak earlier in the day. We were doing the English 3000s over one weekend. Great experience. 👍🏼
It was niice meeting you at 32:30. Sorry that we looked at you as come kind of weird creature. We love having a chat with fellow hikers, but one with a camera on a giant mount was a bit different. And we were a bit cold...
I know what you mean about hearing the voices....once when I had a fan on in the middle of Summer, and I put it on the fastest setting, I too heard, what was instantly recognisable as a battle being fought. Yet when I turned the fan off to see if it was coming from someone's TV, it was silent!! I did this a few times and it was silent each time. Then a few weeks later the same thing happened, this time I heard instruments like a quartet playing like or in The Titanic film, although I was not thinking of that but it felt a bit sad maybe from the memory of the film and again I turned the fan off and it was completely silent, it was about 4 in the afternoon. I believe you are on the right track about the vibration change.....past present and future all happening at the same time...perhaps we are tapping into stuff that happened years ago or in the future!. Also water and natural places that are quite rural with running water are very high vibrational areas....so you are probably right and it is a very healthy place to be! You are the first person that has ever mentioned this phenomena! I have only told 1 person about it and they could not understand it :)
Great effort and great video. I've camped near running water a few times but not experienced the 'voices' thing. But I think it's because I've been so knackered I've been dead to the world!
geezums--beautiful but that plain reminds me of Tolkien's Dead Marshes---don't look at the faces! also, weather absolutely looks like northern New England-deeply soulful
Well done mate, that looked like quite a yomp in those conditions then to tent in it all afterwards! Reminded me of some of my foul weather days on the Pennine Way this 'summer' just gone! :D Great content mate, looking forward to the next episode.
You need to put more calories in for these long stints! mate. Meaning more carbs! Not beef Jerky!! There's lots of lightweight energy bars you can carry easily but I've found a couple of chunky pieces of flapjack does the trick! for a quick boost! 😊
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. I know one that doesn’t follow that rule. You definitely are the exception. Keep on squelching mate. In a bizarre way I am enjoying your walk but question your sanity doing it so late in the year.
i absoulutley love the outdoors in this type weather, the mrs thinks im nuts but i just do, hip flasks are a great thing to have although i keep sherry in mine as i cant stand the taste of whiskey. 47:58 is that a voice over from Samuel L Jackson????
Theres nothing wrong with banana on ya curry Glenn .Me Dad used to be a prison officer at Parkhurst Nick and he used to work with a guy who was a Malayan Scout . He not only taught me Dad how to make a proper curry but he also told him about eating banana with a curry because it takes a lot of the heat out of the spice. So now we always have banana with our curry.As usual mate lovin the videos all the best 😎👍
Just found your channel mate, and have started working my way through the excellent content 👌 what is the pack you are using ? Also does the Osprey chest rig work ok with a big pack ?
I am so happy to hear I’m not the only one who hears voices out there in the wild. Freaks me out! 🎉 Do you ever have bad hiker dreams? I was on an overnighter having a dream about meeting another hiker, though I had barely seen 4 hikers the whole day before. The next day I finished my hike, headed out after packing up the vehicle, and SAW the hiker I had dreamt about.
At around 45.40 you say "Feels like Heaven". And that is the truth. The Lake District is a magical place, whatever the weather. It is, as far as I can tell, the closest thing to Heaven that I can imagine. And I speak as someone who has not only travelled and hiked "the world" but as someone who has spent a lot of time up there (having completed the C2C and all 214 Wainwrights, etc.).
Aeropress? I'm always wondering what you do with your coffee grounds? Especially as you all say that you leave no trace... We just take coffee sachets, much lighter and no mess...
He walked from Upper Eskdale, over Scafell pike and then to Esk Hause. From there he went to Angle Tarn and Stake Pass to Pike o' Stickle, before heading towards camp on Steel Fell. English Lake District of course.

The stratification of lava and patterns of the earth are beautiful to see, and that blue lake when the clouds cleared 😍

If Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel had watched this, they would have written a song called 'The Sound of Squelching' 😁
Oh the sound of water coming in to the boots 👢 lovely 😂😂😂😂excellent mate,terrific scenery, people come from all over the world to see this landscape, we are very very lucky in the UK to 'own this' ❤😊😊💯👌
Most epic landscape in any weather just missing wargs and ork hordes looming through the mists.
Great endurance that's for sure. Thanks for taking us again. I always had wet feet until I bit the bullet on some scarpa delta gtx and was never wet again 👍
Bro you've earned your watery curry (sans or avec bananage)! Great bog-slogging and atmospheric as hell. Gollum territory for sure. Bring on the next stretch.
I love the water droplets on the lens, just like walking with glasses on . Epic adventure. Roll on next week.
You like to put yourself through it fella...Full credit to you ...your a fit bloke to do all this walking and climbing...I sweat watching you😊

Fabulous video. Felt your pain trudging through Great Moss!!! I watched you whilst following the route on the OS map...Is that really sad?? 😅
what a trooper, that was a major slog. great work getting as far as you did. I do hope you found a B&B for the next night.
Proper Lake District walk that one! Kudos for keeping the film rolling in those tough conditions.
Quite a walk Glenn , lovely video too - I'm just at the point where you had a weep before broad crag.
And yes , it looks very wet !
But , it wouldn't be the lakes without rain would it....
Keep up the great work 👍
What a trip! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I remember many Lake District adventures when the rain totally penetrated the best waterproof gear. The rain came down, the wind sent it up, sideways and all around. Happy days.
‘The wrong flippin’ lens’😀 I was hoping for a tyrannosaur Rex silhouetted in the distant mist 🤗
Nice to see taut fabric on a tent. So many now seem to flop about.
Respect, man, that was some journey. I enjoy the rain and the clag (to an extent), and can take the slippy rocks, but all that boggage would've done me 'ed in. I'd have surrendered and pitched for the night well before you did! Keep on squelchin' !!
A tough trudge but still great sections on the walk
Good afternoon glen

Great effort Glenn! That looked totally brutal, not only climbing englands highest mountain but then trudging through those bogs was relentless 👍

You deserve a medal. Rather you than me on this one. Thanks
Great Moss makes me think of the Dead Marches outside Mordor. Looks like Camspout an entrance into Mordor.😮

Beef jerky is one of the best discoveries ever. So tasty as a topping on salad with some mayonnaise.
Oh noooooo beef jerky, I remember my husband tried it and all I can say at least glen was sleeping alone in that tent 🤢🤭
You did really well walking through the gorgeous landscape ethan, though it was hard going sometimes. I never want the walks to end, but you seem to be very fit.
The sort of weather I usually find myself out in with foam inside my overtousers. 🤣

Another great walk looked tough at times . Looking forward to day three .keep drinking the whisky 😊
Squelch..squelch...squelch, what a wet one! still enjoyed it though and I stayed amazingly dry! 😀

Quality video as usual. Great to see you back in the Lakes. When I tried to download route it just comes up as error 🤷♂️
Now working well 🙏 Epic Route 👌
Fantastic video, thanks for taking us.
The voices in water is a new thing for me, never heard of that before….great video as always though👍
Thanks for that beautiful landskape and vidio. 🤠👍
What you are hearing at night is spirits
Another mighty day, fantastic expedition 👏👍
More awesomeness
Grim day in the fella! Extra kudos!

I camped at the side of water last week in the Yorkshire dales, and I was the same I thought I heard woman’s voices, it was very unnerving too.

How many times you topped out Scafell Pike? A tough day in that weather
Hi Glen really interested to know why have you stopped wearing boots on walks like this ?
Hi Glenn, think it's time to change the channel name to "Black Clag" 🤣
My biggest fear stopping me from doing a multi day hike is the toilet situ! Perhaps some suggestions on this issue would be appreciated!
That looked a bog fest.
youre not alone in that fetid stinking mist, the very air is a poisonous foul fog.
creatures with formless shape find your every footstep.
Where was this specifically?
