- Catbells Part Deux
Well after failing to scramble to the top of catbells via the Skelgill route I returned the following week to try again.
Thankfully there’s an alternative route which avoids the (what I call sketchy way up).
Parking at the side of Brandelhow Park on the roadside in one of the many lay-bys we walked along the road and then turned right onto the path to ascend catbells via Hausegate.
The path is steep but very enjoyable steps all the way upto Marte bield.
Then it’s a short ascent up to catbells summit.
Loved this walk. It has the most incredible views over Derwentwater and Skiddaw with extensive 360 views.
Never let it beat you
If in doubt just get out
💗🥾
Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure! The views looked AMAZING! I must visit here soon xx
Thank you so much for watching. You should definitely visit the lakes x
Well done Emma too 👏 well done to you both 🤜🤛
Lovely little mountain, Catbells, did it with my wife and youngest son a few years back. Thanks for sharing the views 👍👍
Thanks for watching Graham 💗🥾
So many wonderful views!!! Thank you so much for this beautiful video!
Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate it
Brilliant stuff Emz, we really enjoyed this one😊👍. Well done to you both for reaching the summit, was great to see after watching your attempt with Dee up the scramble route, these things always look easier looking down on them, and you also had that wind to contend with which we think always makes you feel more uneasy than you would have on a still day. Anyway one to be saved for another day now you feel more confident with it😊👍. Fantastic views from the summit. Love your positive attitude and love for being outdoors🤩👊👍. Thanks for taking us along, take care, Shell and Pete😊👊👍
Ahhh thanks guys that’s so kind. Really appreciate you both watching x
Thanks for uploading this wonderful video

Hi Paul. Thank you. Yep so glad I went back. We had the best day for weather as you saw the colours were amazing and we couldn’t leave Keswick without visiting the stone circle. I love it there. Thanks for watching

Morning Simon yes it was amazing. Thanks so much for watching
Looks like a beautiful hike! And you didn’t even look tired at the end of it.
Morning Annie . I’ts a lovely hike. Not hard at all. It was just the scramble on the other side I couldn’t do in the wind last week. So had to go back. Thanks so much for watching 💗
Che bella friend! Love it
Thank you 🙏
Great hiking trip with amazing views, looks really beauteful there 👌👌👌
Thank you, it was a lovely hike, one I’ll do again for sure 👌
Love your videos, keep them coming.
Thank Neilson. Appreciate you watching
Hej Emma ❤ this so incredibly amazing ! I love that area and view, never gets old, and of you two fantastic ladies 😊 btw that hair colour is awesome ❤
Hey there turtle. Thank you so much for your kind words. It really is a beautiful area somewhere I’ll be returning too in the new year. Ha yeah the hair is my mid life crisis 😂💗
Very entertaining. Wonderful narration & beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking us along & chatting with us.
Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it
That sunrise and the skies 😍 stunning views! This is on my to do list when I next get up the lakes, this is making me want to go even more now! It looks like a lovely walk. Good job descending the ridge 💪🏻 that stone circle looks worth a visit too. Thanks for sharing this.
Edit* I hit send before I saw that sunset - wow 😍
I can highly recommend it. And helvellyn, skiddaw and blencathra if you're in that area. The stone cirlce is stunning. We have a few up here where I live. Duddo is spectacular especially during winter or summer solstice 🩷. I'm always hunting for things like that especially cup and ring marks. Loving your channel, working my way through it with joy 😊
@@emz_adventure I've done helvellyn via Striding Edge although I'd love to do it again sometime. So many mountains up there I'd like to conquer, I'll be paying a few visits this year car camping I'm sure. I'll have to investigate these circles too and see if I can incorporate them into my walks. I have scafell pike in mind again but the corridor route this time from seathwaite with a few other tops added for good measure if the legs can handle it! Super glad you're enjoying my channel, I love making the vids so there'll be more to come. I'll be working my way through yours with joy too picking up tips for my trips up north 😊
@Justaguythatwalks lakes is stunning. I try and get there often. Well I'll return the car camping spot info if you're ever up this way 😊
@@emz_adventure thank youuuu 😊 I plan on making a few trips up this year hopefully 🤞🏻
Great video! The filming and editing was very good and the narration was perfect! Loved your pics they were so good and looked like fun. The footage was amazing those views were incredible!! I am also scared of heights and a few of our videos are similar I was so proud of myself on a few hikes this year. The one we did at Smith rock was one I skipped in 2021 and I was so proud I made myself do it for the video in 2022 so I really understand! Great job! Best wishes in 2023 for more adventures and growth in your channel can't wait to see what's next!
Good evening to you both. You certainly have a great channel I’m really looking forward to watching your adventures over the next few days. Wow thanks so much for your great comments. And for watching. I really do appreciate it. There’s nothing worse is there then the heights getting to us. I never used to be like that . As a youngster my brothers and I used to jump from the cliff tops into the sea without a care in the world . Age I think has made me fear the exposure that comes sometimes with scrambles. Thanks again and have an amazing Christmas and new year 💗🥾
@@emz_adventure yes completely understand I don't know what it is but I am getting worse each year especially on drives with cliffs as well. Best wishes and great adventures to you!
Aww emz looks like you had it all on this walk! It’s a great hill to climb and the views rarely disappoint!
Looking forward to seeing you on some of the surrounding hills in the future if your feeling up to it! Great going lass!
Cheers lads. It’s left me wanting to get back more often. I’ve done blencathra and Skiddaw and little man. Helvellyn several times but there’s loads more I want to do and will be doing soon. Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. Nice to see you’ve been out again too 💗🥾
class video emz with some stunning views.
Thanks Ken. 😊
Such a shame you and Dee did not do this route last week as you both would have got there but great effort of getting there today, especially with Emma being on the poorly side too. Now that you have done Catbells, you could go up the same way and do Maiden Moor and Hight Spy, which in comparison is so quiet but just as scenic and a real nice summit cairn on High Spy too. Me and my oldest son did take a dip in Derwentwater 18 months ago but it was on the hottest day of the year😁. I hope the market was still going strong when you get to Keswick, I always come back with a tray of chocolate shortbread and a tray of fruit flapjack from one of the stalls - has to be done! Cheers and well done to you both, Alan
Thanks Alan. We did miss Dee on Saturday. She was busy so couldn’t come. I was going to do the others after catbells on Saturday but poor em had done what she could considering how Ill she was. She offered to go down on her own and let me do it but there’s no way I would have left her to descend on her own in the condition she was in bless her. The fells will always be there for my return. Thanks so much for watching 💗🥾
What a difference a day makes! Just one week of hours! 🎶 well when you attempted it with the lovely Dee by the easy route you had some awful conditions, it was wet and it was windy and of course you had the dog to worry about. Coming back on a dry, great condition day you super bossed it. What a lovely hike, although i dont envy anyone scrambling south down that descent 😱. Great pub grub and Castlerigg has been on our to do list for almost twenty years, glad you sneaked that in too. Great vidxx
Morning to you both. Thanks so much for watching. It was such a beautiful day and perfect conditions. Really would do it all again for sure ❤
@@emz_adventure yeah its one we’ve done a few times, although on our first attempt we did climb from the South and come down the scramble to the North on our bottoms! Ive done it in reverse on our other visits but fortunately always had great weather for the scrambles. We’ll definitely be back. Its covered on our channel too but i did see an interesting vid by Tea in Valhalla a short while ago, they did Catbells and looped in a couple of other Wainwrights on the same day. Do fancy that at one point 👍
@@GENerationXplorers ah yes I watched their video and thought yep I’d defo do that on a day for sure. Looks a lovely loop. That would be a good one to do. Ooh food for thought 💗
We are exicted to see what's next too Emz, thanksj for the video, looks like you had a smashing morning and enjoying round 2 of Catbells 🐈 🔔 ⛰️👍
Absolutely love Castle Rig and Keswick, both magical! Kats dad has painted Kat at Castle Rig, we have painting hung in the livingroom, great to see it again 🪨 🎨
have a great week ahead, love and hugs, Ceri and Kat ☕️ 😀 😊 ❤️
Evening to you gorgeous pair. I’d love to see that painting I bet it’s amazing. Hope you’re having a great weekend. Ah man Ceri and Kat we had an amazing day and I’m just itching to get back to the lakes to do another hike. Emma was amazing I can’t believe she battled in with a bad chest. I took a video of the scenery and could hear her wheezing on it 😢. She’s a bloody legend that’s for sure. So pleased i went back to do it. I’d have tortured myself not knowing. Thanks so much for your comments and for watching xx
I'm absolutely over the moon that you and Emma made it up, So gutted I couldn't make it over with you, but will defo make it out with you and Emma if she's free. I wish you got some pics looking down the scramble we went up. Would have been interesting to see. Fab edit Em and so glad you nailed getting to the top! Fab vid, much love 💜
I’ll do it again for sure. Loved it. And the scramble isn’t that bad to be fair. Ya just gotta keep to the middle. I kept away from the edges and found it easy. Bum job all the way lol. You were missed Dee. We both said it’s a shame you couldn’t make it. You would have loved it. Let me know when ya free and I’ll come again. The views are amazing as you know but even better from the top especially with a sunrise. Thanks for watching lovely muchos appreciated xxx
I'm definitely up for it again! Or any walk for that matter. It's beautiful there and you're great company Xx
@@emmafiddes3491 I've got another group one planned on Saturday to do latrigg (was supposed to be Buttermere) but I know Em can't make it but you're still welcome to come
Stunning wee hill and views Emz. 😎👌
Cheers Kevin appreciate ya viewing as always

Well Emz first and foremost YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, I told you you could do it, you just got to keep believing in yourself
I think the thing love most here is you went a route to avoid the scramble then when you got to the top you though , NO f**k this im doing it
You must have a massive set off balls down there to do that 😂🤦♂️
Well done to other Emma to for being a proper mate and coming to support you
All in all a fantastic a video
Speak soon mate x
Haha thanks matey. It was such a good hike. Loved it. Was just saying to Alan on his comment that we didn’t do maiden moor or high spy but will save it for another return cos it looks amazing. Quite fancy causey pike too. So I’m already planning my next adventure. Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Your support has been tremendous x
@@emz_adventure I’ve done Causey pike and it’s a great hike, there is a bit of a scramble up to the top depending which way you go up , you’d defo struggle with the dog … you can see it on my first solo wildcamp vid 👍
@@54DegreesNorth ah bloody hell. Lol I’ll have a look. I did see there was a pointy bit 😂so probs will have to leave the durg at home. I’ll need me hands for that one 😂 . Thanks Alan 💗🥾
I new that would get the better of you emz watching now 👍
Haha it did indeed
Hi Emz 🙋🏻♀️ loved you finally made the summit of Catbells with your friend..,shame Dee could not join…I think Dee needs to do Catbells GENX style 😉 dancing and prancing our way up with Joe and Dee she may not realize 😉 what do you think Dee…..2023 challenge Catbells hike…anyone free to join…we’ll help each other come rain or shine! 😘🤭

Quid Pro Quo? Look forward to going through your vlogs. Appreciate any support you can give my fledgling channel.
Morning chris. Thanks so much. It really was a great day and glad I went back with my friend to do it again. Have subbed your channel and looking forward to following your Ethel challenge. Take care. Em

Hello friend thanks for sharing, new friend
Hello new friend thank you for watching 🙏
@@emz_adventure you're welcome
How do you no if you are on the easy route. Is it signposted as such ? Cheers
@ianm139 the sign just says catbells but the path starts from around side of the hill as opposed to straight up the front of it
@emz_adventure Thanku for the reply appreciated
@@ianm139 no problem. Hope you enjoy catbells

Coosty video.... Good research 👌
