I walked this route a few years ago and it was my best day that I've ever had in the Lake District. I was lucky that I had great weather, clear and sunny but this video is truly beautiful. It looks amazing on film but obviously would have been many more times better to actually be there on that day. Alex, your films are always worth watching not only for the fantastic photography but also for your great joy and appreciation for the surroundings. This is definitely one of your very best. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful 2025.
@@alanhitchings5841 there’s something very special about Crinkle Crags and Bowfell isn’t there! Can’t beat it on a clear day. Thank you so much Alan, really appreciate the kind words, it means a lot. Hope you have a fantastic 2025 too 😊 cheers!
Wow, wow and wow. We have been following you for a few months now. This was the lit candle on top of the cake so far. Your passion for the hills shows from the start of every vid, awesome. Then from describing the route to ensuring all are suitably equipped, proactive thinking. Thankyou and all the best for 2025 to you and yours.
Ahhh thank you so much!! Really appreciate your kind words, it means a lot! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and happy new year!! 😊
Absolutely stunning, awesome - thank you Alex for bringing those views to us 👍🏻
Thank you so much! 😊
Amazing views, alex i had tears in my eyes watching this ...just wow 👌
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Awesome Alex, temperature inversions are brilliant despite the cold 🥶 glad you are wearing gloves at the end 😂 you captured some wonderful views
Thank you very much 😊 all the excitement made me forget how cold my hands actually were 😂
One of those classic magical Lake District days high above the clouds!
Nothing beats it!! 😊
great to see you capture what i think is the biggest thrill to hiking , after 4 decades ive lost count of the number of walks i thought were to be ok only to be blown away . i did this route on a perfect weather day in my top 3 so nearly didnt click on the vid only to be blown away again the mountains just keep on giving great video
Thank you so much! Even when it’s clagged out it’ll always be a privilege to be out hiking in the mountains but when you get lucky on a day like this it makes it all the more special doesn’t it!! Can’t beat it up there on a clear day, the Lakes at its finest, cheers! 😊
your best video yet - mainstream terrestrial TV would be foolish not to sign you up..!
I've done your route in both directions in summer and extreme winter conditions. it's a classic!
Thank you so much!! That’s extremely kind of you, really appreciate it 😊 Hard to beat that route isn’t it!
So beautiful! I can't believe I lived in Lancaster for 2.5 years and never hiked these paths. Major regret, but thankfully there's you showing how it is. I could see some of these peaks from my flat. It looked so beautiful when they were covered in snow, but it only happens a couple of times in the winter. And the sea of clouds looks amazing, they happen very frequently in the coastal mountain ranges, of the Atlantic Forest, Southern Brazil. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Hopefully you’ll get back up here one day and get a Lake District hike in 😊 Southern Brazil sounds awesome! Cheers
Incredible. The harder you work, the luckier you get. Congratulations. Epic
So true!! Thank you 😊
Incredible, a day to remember forever.
Definitely won’t be forgetting this one!
Amazing video. I can't wait until I get myself in the lakes. ❤
Thank you mate! You’ll love it 😊
Alex I'm so glad I've found your channel, what an amazing film! I decided a year ago that I was going to re-bag all of the Wainwrights again before my 60th birthday (I've got another 7 years) and because my husband doesnt have as much leave as me I'm making plans to go and do some solo hikes. I've been a trail runner for a long time, but was worried about solo hikes for some reason - seeing the way you plan and complete them, and the kit you've taken, makes me feel so much more confident that I can achieve this. Keep posting your amazing videos!
Thank you so much Kim, that was such a lovely comment to read!! So glad this video makes you feel a bit more confident for solo hikes, I guess the more you prepare before hand then there’s less to worry about on the actual day and you can focus on the hike itself and the beautiful views along the way 😊 LOVE that you’re starting the Wainwrights from scratch, I did the same a couple years ago and it was the best thing I did, takes you to all corners of the national park and you find some real beauty spots along the way! Hope you have the best time bagging all 214 and enjoy every single one 😊 thank you
Absolutely loved this video , so nice to see you smiling away whilst holding the camera we could tell you were really enjoying this walk , and those drone shots wow amazing, happy new year
Thank you so much guys 😊 It was a special day for sure! Happy New Year to you too! 🥳
Wow wow wow ….. what amazing skyline …. So jealous …
It was a day to remember that’s for sure! 😊
That is just breathtaking! One of those hikes you don’t ever want to come down from 😂 That feeling you get seeing something like that… just magical, nothing can beat it! Great video 👏
Absolutely stunning video. Cloud inversion, fog bow and brocken spectres. What a memorable day.
Thank you very much 😊 felt extremely lucky!
Simply stunning - thanks for sharing
Thank you! 😊
A brilliant watch this Alex, stunning day out

Thanks for taking us with you to Bowfell. What an awesome day! I did that route last year in May, and it's great. Your videos are firing up my enthusiasm for my next trip to the Lakes this year.
Wow. This was incredible to watch. Thank you so much for sharing this magic with us 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
I was lucky enough to be up on Skiddaw this day! It was incredible to experience!
Incredible shots on the drone - great videos on your channel! You can’t beat a day like this!
Ahh no way!! I could see it poking out of the clouds way in the distance, must’ve been equally as spectacular up there, glad you managed to witness it yourself! Thank you so much 😊
We had a similar day on Helvellyn back in November, it was amazing 🤩 You're right, you can't tear yourself away.
Oh wow, I’ve seen some photos of cloud inversions on Helvellyn and it looks amazing! Must’ve been one to remember! 😍
Alex, stunning can’t describe it, looks like another world! Thank you for bringing such pleasure to us at this time of year. The beauty of the Lake District in Winter is something to behold! 😀

Felt so unbelievably lucky! Thank you 😊
Unbelievable day mate! I had one like that earlier in the month over Clough Head, the Dodds, Raise area. Unreal!
Can’t believe your eyes can you, must’ve been equally as spectacular up there!
This was amazing Alex. You have every right to be giddy and excited. The inversions were beautiful. Just discovered your channel so a great end to 2024 and every best wishes for 2025.

Thanks Alex I loved this video brought back so many memories of when I was up on the Dodds and had my first ever cloud inversion my mouth was wide open too love the smile on your face. Again what a day day on the fells and mountains of the mighty Lake District best place in the world
OUTSTANDING Alex! 🇨🇦👍
Καλησπέρα από την Ελλάδα. Εξαιρετικό το βίντεο...!
Thank you so much! 😊
Love the drone footage intro. Bad step on crinkle you mean ? Absolutely love that route especially the crinkles
Yes got my words mixed up with all the excitement, thanks for pointing that out I’ll edit it out 😊 thank you!
@alexcripps.outdoors I don't blame you mate I'd be the same. Can't wait to get back out.
Wonderful views amazing drone footage enjoyed this loads buddy I like fell runners now over boots after 40 years of boots but I get cold feet even in merino mountain socks
Stunning views , well worth the move to ambleside, thanks for sharing this with us .
Incredible! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! 😊
Wow what a stunning vlog Alex, thanks for sharing ❤
And it was lovely to see your excitement too, never apologise for that.
@@vandaventures1186 thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊
That was epically beautiful Alex! Wow…. I would have lingered up there until dark for sure. Your drone footage was remarkable. The best cloud inversion I have seen. You are absolutely blessed to have all this around you! Fantastic video, and as you say, you can never tell for sure how the weather will actually turn out on the tops. The icy tops were amazing sparkling in the sun. Your excitement was infectious! I hope you had a great Christmas and here’s to many more amazing outdoor adventures in 2025!
@@gregcoleman7328 thank you so much Greg!! I wish I’d taken my tent up with me to get even more time up there, how epic would that have been! The conditions were amazing, definitely got a little over excited 😆 Hope you’ve also had a great Christmas Greg and wishing you a happy new year! Here’s to more epic outdoors adventures in 2025! Thanks for all your support Greg, always means so much 😊
Really awesome footage mate, love the views and cloud inversions, you had everything that day ⛰️🫡.
Thank you so much! 😊 I got extremely lucky!
Well Alex what can i say that was stunning videoing spot on brilliant stuff 👏 😊
An amazing video
@@john-morton thank you so much 😊
Spectacular mate 👍
I echo the sentiments of the comment below this one. Another great video!!!
Epic mate well done and so lucky to get that..breath taking
Hi buddy thanks for sharing amazing hike well done i was on kinda scout Saturday I c a fog bowl as well no specter tho fingers crossed i get to c one thanks again 😀
@@GaryMorris222 thank you so much! Kinder looked amazing last week, awesome to hear you saw a fog bow, they’re so cool aren’t they! Glad you had a great day out 😊 cheers 👍
Absolutely beautiful Alex 😍 loved it!! Fog bow and spector lucky you and us, thank you for taking us 😊
Just caught up on your latest, epic day out, thanks for filming and sharing. Great quality, looked amazing on film, so must have been epic live. Really impressed by your consideration of others ref your drone. Top bloke!
Beyond stunning. You look like you are in heaven!
Ive walked this route many times, im in my 50's and not as fit these days so blisco, crinkles, and bow fell would have been enough for me in the winter, summer a different story, i would either drop down to ore gap and either turn right down to angle tarn and descend rossett ghyll, or go straight ahead at ore gap onto esk pike then esk hause before passing angle tarn, it all depends on what energy i had left on the day 😅
Yes you did it justice well done
@@mawebb88 thank you! 😊
very nice , did you notice your brocken spectre in the fog bow at 11.49
When was this? Awesome footage.
It was 11th December I think. Thank you 😊
That is absolutely so special just amazing. Was that a brocken spectre?
I am doing this as a guided walk in March, just Pike O'Blisco nothing else. Gosh, it just shows how beautiful this country is. Thank you.
@@Muddipaws1308 thank you! 😊 yes it was a brocken spectre, good spot! Couldn’t believe how lucky I got seeing one. Hope you have a great time on Pike O’blisco and fingers crossed you get some great views, one of my favourite mountains in the Lakes! Cheers 😊
@alexcripps.outdoors just been speaking to a friend and sent her the link to your video. You MUST watch this 😊
Was this on Friday 27th Dec? I shared the same views and incredible scenes from Great End, waving at you. Great footage
