- We went to Stockley Bridge near Seathwaite Farm to pay our respects to Helen's wonderful mother.
We ended up hiking Scafell Pike via the corridor route. We loved it but were suffering for days after!!

'... I am the way I am cos of my mam' ..well you've done her proud Helen. You're terrific! Always a smile and very positive 😊.
Well done the both of you. Yes you are right James, some of us are not able to get up those beautiful mountains anymore. Thank you for taking us with you.
Our pleasure!
I think Helen is a mountain goat she goes up there with no huffing and puffing omg what a climb well done
Hay-up, thank you for doing that walk for my Wife and I because there's no bloody way I could do what you two have just done. Love to you both. Xx
I had vertigo watching 😂
Oh well bloody done on that challenging hike!
How many times james did you wish there was a pub round the corner lol
Your just two gorgeous people who value the world around you
Absolutley wonderful to watch and very inspiring for me personally to go out and challenge myself, my heads not in a good place at the moment but you two have lifted my heart just watching you
Thankyou so much ❤xx
Thank you so much, I'm sorry to hear that things are tough for you. I hope things start to pick up soon ❤️
I feel for you . Losing a mum is so heartbreaking. You have good support xx
A wonderful video iam pretty much house bound as ive got heart disease theres no way on earth i could attempt such a walk so thanks for taking me along what stunning views and a touching tribute to helens mum best wishes Phil,,, 🙏👍
You can tell Helen loves walking in the hills. James.....probably likes the idea of it 😅. Thanks for sharing. Bless Helens Mum ❤️🏴
I feel exhausted just watching that video..
Big hugs Helen..losing your mum is so painful.. ❤..xx
Thank you ❤️
Made me laugh when you said the "chit chat stops towads the end of the walk", spot on is that 😆
My son got me lost up a welsh mountain. I slid down to the river in the valley on my bum through the ferns. I was drenched to the skin. We were lost with the mountain ponies. My foot went into a rut on ground level and jarred my old knee. I hobbled back to the car about a mile or so away. Never again will I trust his guidance along routes!
Glad you are doing the Lakes. Incredible we have that amazing place. If your joints and blisters trouble you, just tell yourself you are taking one for the team...
Wow what a great walk! Respect to Helen doing that, then getting up for work the next morning. These days if I do a long, hard walk like that It impacts my next couple of days (my hangovers are the same!) I'm totally knackered!, must be a sign of getting older. Hats off to the both of you. I had some of those sticks James, used em once then ended up just stored in the boot of my car, I also found they made things harder than a help.👣👣
It's extra weight to carry an a total waste of time
If we needed things like STICKS we would of evolved them on to our wrists
Absolutely!
Brought a tear to my eye Helen ❤ lost me gran 2019 dad last year n me mum last month. Took dads and my grandmas ashes to the great orm in Llandudno to be with me grandad and uncle. Lots of love Helen xxx James kudos to you, you looked chuffed at the summit ok the pike! Absolutely fantastic. Dont wanna interfere but it might be any idea to carry afew more tactical items doing the more higher terrains ❤ id hate for you to fall or miss judge footing etc. X
We are so sorry to hear that. Hope you are okay ❤
My son gets e climbing up hills. It absolutely crazes me! I'm a year off 70 and he has not a clue how it jiggers my back up! Hats off to you two fitties! Thank you for your lovely videos.
Thank you 😊
Since I've had my half-time orange and a tad more, there's no way I could do that. It's beautiful. Thank you hugely for taking us all with you. Well done lovely people. 🍺🍷😊
You are so welcome!
Brought back many fond memories, I was a regular hiker in that area some 40 years ago and have camped in the Borrowdale valley so many times. Ill health stops me now , so you two have been my eyes , apart from some of the tracks been built up with stones its same as it ever was . Cheers
You're welcome, we love it there
My eyes light up every time I see your notification. Another great video but by the end I felt your pain. I’ve done it myself in the past up Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons. cracking video as always guys!! …. Smithy
Thanks Smithy
I'm sort of house bound ish, due to heart disease and a cardiac arrest not long ago, but I do enjoy hiking vlogs, reminds me of what I used to be capable of, I'm only 58 lol , thank you for the upload 👍😀
Hi guys, yes I love to watch u both hiking. But I can’t do it anymore as I’ve got arthritis in most of my joints. I never go out the house these days. But u did amazing James well done to both of ya xx ❤
Same 😢
OMG Helen is like a mountain goat she makes it look so easy but its bloody hard been up there when I was about 30 years old amazing views as I am 60 today was lovely you sharing this video I am in Cumbria at the moment at Cockermouth but my climbing days are over at the moment at Gin distillery doing some Gin testing near Keswick you did so well James getting up there well done..
Well done you two for putting these beautiful parts of England on the map should put you both forward for VisitEngland Award for Excellence or happen it should be for Excellence Ambassadors for Good Beer Guides………… Not to mention Best Fish & Chips Reviews 😋 Multi talented xx
😂Thank you
Another fantastic video, thank you! I am a Yorkshireman in my 50's and have been living in Cornwall for 27 years, but the lakes are my favourite place. I hiked up Helvellyn alone in the winter of 2002 when all the mountains were snow covered. It was amazing. I have taken my Cornish partner and kids there a few times and they love it too. I went on several school trips in the 80's and always stayed at Patterdale YHA. These were the best times of my life. I also used to ride up there many times in the summer on my motorbike with friends in the 90's.
Happy days 😊
What a beautiful resting place, absolutely stunning. RIP Liz 🙏
Ahh bless you Helen, your mum would and is proud of you x great vid guys thnx for sharing x
Helen you had some great experiences. Amazing walks up them hills

Thank you
Lovely 😊. Knew Helen had Irish in her by her looks....from Ireland by the way. Best wishes 😊.
Aww my heart when you stopped for your mum Helen 😢 🫂 . Enjoyed that, beautiful scenery. I'm up in Scotland, one of the ones James was talking about that can't so it on my own now, can honestly say I'm knackered just watching you guys 😂
What can I say, James this channel is working you really connected with the audience, Helen lot of loving thoughts were with you at the bridge ❤.
Be proud you both are lovely people.
Thank you 😊
James, regarding the walking poles.....I climbed up Snowdon with them and they were a bloody nuisance. Didn't stop me sliding down on my bottom as we began the descent.. And one of the poles nearly had my eye out as I tried to stop the slide. At the same time, my favourite Ian Poulter baseball cap flew off and floated away down to a field of grazing sheep. I like to think one of them might have took to wearing it. Thanks both for another great video!
Great to see what three words! Thank you ❤
Helen I knew exactly how you were feeling stood on that bridge with your mum. Big hugs x
Great video as always from you both
Helens mum is in a lovely place and yes, the sticks are a godsend James, I’ve used them for a couple of years now.
Hay-up, did Scafell Pike back in June 1996 with my dad. We stayed at The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Langdale, we did a different route to you. The weather was a lot better. For us it was 4 hours up and 3 hours down, a great hike. Great video of you both. God bless and keep well. Xx
Thank you for sharing your video, it’s always a pleasure seeing you both in your videos.
I climbed it and slept on it with friends yrs ago, it brought back so many happy memories.
Thank You both.
Eric 😊
Only found your channel yesterday. Enjoy your videos. Helen is a keeper for sure pal! All the best to yous both and respects to Helens mother 💙
James and Helen, that was an epic hike and fantastic video thanks for cheering up my Sunday evening😊
James the look of achievement on your face at the top was amazing.
You were glowing with pride!
It was brilliant. :-)
Fair play. I'd need air-lifted to the pub after that!!
Thanks for sharing your lives James and Helen, inspirational.
What an amazing woman Helen is and you did really well to reach your van alive! Lol. I’ve just subscribed.
Wow what a video guys awesome scenery... just googled it .. think ill head for there soon....... respects to helen s mum ❤
Well done guys. I love hiking but I’ve only done Scafell Pike once as I really didn’t enjoy it. It was a proper mental/frustrating challenge for me. Did it as the 2nd peak of national 3 peaks challenge many moons ago! Keep up the good vids guys 👍🏻
Thank you both for another great video xx
Our pleasure!
Thanks for posting this video, it brought back memories of when my wife and I did the same route some years ago. I remember feeling the same when we finished the hike. Probably not able to do it now so thanks again for the memories.
Just lovely watching u both. luv to Helen 🫶🏻xx
Take care & stay safe. X
Wow guys that was brilliant. I did the same walk a few years ago & didn’t make it to the top, I got to Sprinkling Tarn & then back down Grains Gill. That downhill is a killer on the legs. I remember well the feeling of desperation to be back at my car haha. Done a few “thank god I’m still alive” hikes 😅
Thanks. It's hard to explain how hard that route back is. My legs were stiff for days after
Great vlog guys, ì done most of the walks in the lakes it's easy in your youth but it certainly gets a lot harder as you get older.i didn't fancy the drive back though.
Bloody heck! there's no stopping Helen...move over or get pushed over 😆 Great show you two 👍🍻🚐👊
It was so good to see you do that walk. My wife and I were last in that valley forty one years ago. It was so good to see it again. Keep up with the walking we're both loving it.
Glad you enjoyed it
When you go down hill try planting your heel first this helps with the pain. I’ve been on that walk in 2004 this was so incredible I felt like I was there again. Loved this video.
Thanks guys this is definitely my most favourite vlog that i have seen of yours cheers .
Thank you
Aw Helen, I was in tears, coming up to my mums anniversary, it’s so hard isn’t it, but I know she lives on in me, as your mum does in you, take care , let’s keep doing em proud , 🤗 sending hugs x
They certainly do ❤️
Epic hike. Loved this and hearing the deep breathing made me feel like I was there! Helen is of course amazing. I would have worried about the dark clouds, worried about my legs, worried about work the next day.....this video says just go out there and bloomin' Do It! Thanks
Thanks, glad you liked it. Definitely just get out there and do it!!
Beautiful video, made me cry at the bridge .. keep them coming, fantastic x
Really enjoyable video James. Your camera work is Excellent. Thank you both
Thank you
Great video, now I need to go climb that one 👍 thank you Helen for sharing that moment on the bridge, seeing love in its raw form is always a privilege, hope your legs weren't feeling like concrete for too long, take care
Also James get yourself some kettle bell swings and hard cross trainer program on the go Helen is running rings around you 😂
I let her think that. I just pretend to be tired 😂
Fantastic vid guys ,the views are absolutely breathtaking ,it's like you both taking us all for a an adventerous hike ,love the vids ,you both have shining personalities 👍👍
Our pleasure!
Wow that looked tough but as Helen said 'what an achievement' ! Stunning scenery. Thanks for taking us on your walk x
Our pleasure!
Brilliant you made my back hurt more just watching you xx
Fab video , thank you 🥰 love watching you two. Real decent people, funny too 😁❤️❤️xx
Glad you enjoyed it
I so admire you both for hiking like this. I'm fubarred sadly. Damaged spine and knees so I could never hope to do this or view there so your videos are brilliant. You and Helen are so good together on video and your interaction is infectious. Thanks for bringing some proper enjoyment to youtube. Bessy regs- Kenny
Thanks Kenny
That was absolutely fantastic wow! Right from beginning to end 🎉❤❤ ma feet are killing me 😂😂😂 no seriously it was incredible and when you got to the top it made me cry. I loved the music can you put a link for the music please? Thank you so much for sharing that. Cheers to your mum Helen ❤ the views were just stunning ❤ awww xx
Thank you, the music come from a specialist site called epidemic sound
@@bythecurb awe thanks for that 🥰
Beautiful location and a wonderful place of rest for Helen’s mum ❤
Great video brings back memories of the walks me and my late gf did in the lakes😊
Ay up. Another great video. I go hiking all the time but still love watching others do it too. The monsal trail is a nice walk for miles on the flat mainly, unless you go up to monsal head. Even then its a 'stroll to the corner shop' up to scafell pike. You two are great. I watch all your videos 😊❤
Thank you, glad you like
This was amazing… well done to you both, love the videos, I look out for them everyday. I also do long shifts & I don’t have the energy Helen has, respect to her xx
Our pleasure!
Wow what a climb, well done to both of you. Helen you are an absolute machine, must be so fit and can't believe you can do all of that with a dodgy hip... what a star! I love the mix of hikes and social on your videos. You need to do a hiking gear review, I love all Helen's coats/waterproofs etc and rucksack plus cover.
Enjoyed this immensely. The scenery was awe inspiring. 😸
Another great video you two.Always wait in anticipation for the next one!Keep them coming.
Thanks for a brilliant video of a brilliant walk - well done both of you!!
Glad you enjoyed it
The mist shrouded mountains, the hills, the waterfalls, stunning doesn't do it justice, I would describe this amazing part of Britain as 'savagely beautiful' it's as if the area has its own consciousness which must be respected by us mere humans at all times as we are granted access to it. Thank you for taking us with you, and thank you Helen for sharing such a personal moment with us as you refelcted on your Mum, my heart goes out to you, I, and many others I suspect, have lost a parent or both parents, and life is never the same again....I'm looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you both, take care and all the best!
Thank you so much. Such a lovely comment 🙂❤
Outstanding video !! Thankyou James & Helen for sharing your mountain hike. The scenery looks stunning and all credit to you
both for taking us with you. Things like this show you how fit you actually are don’t they. Personally, I would struggle from the
word go. Love to you both 💕💕💕
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Loved it glad i never had to do it though thanks for bringing us along 👌👌👌👌👌 Well done 👏👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Quite a hike. So rewarding.
I don't mean to offend, James, but I can't help but see a striking resemblance between your lovely lady, Helen and Walter Huston's character in the classic film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" from 1948.
In the film, Curtain played by Tim Holt says to Dobbs, played by Humphrey Bogart, "Remember what you said back in Tampico about having to pack that old man on our backs?"
Both panting:
Dobbs, "That was when I took him for an ordinary human being not part goat."
Dobbs, "Look at him climb, will you?"
The scene switches to Walter Huston, with a smile on his face climbing up the mountain.
Curtain, "What gets me is how he can go all day in the sun without any water."
Dobbs, "Maybe he's part camel, too."
Well done guys. Great video, warts n all. It's a beautiful hike which I havent done for quite a few years , now you've made me want to revisit. I'm 73 but think I'm 23 and whilst the spirits willing I'm trying hard not to admit that the old bones ain't what they used to be. Went up Ben Lawyer a Scottish Munro, couple of years before the covid thing, thought my legs were going to fall off by time I'd scrambled back down.
As for the waterproofs, mine stay in the bag until it's too late so by time I put them on I'm usually drenched. Any way, thanks for the video, great fun (from my armchair)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Hi Big Man i loved this one , i am nearly 70 now and have been waiting on two knee replacements for a few years now and would love to do this walk , i think i may make it up but think it would be too much strain on my knees getting back down , I always think my own country of Scotland is beautiful but this was also worth seeing , Thank you to you and Helen once again , loved this so much thank you both ....
Well done guys great walk and fantastic video 👏
Love all your videos!
Awww, sending lot's of love and hugs to Helen. My Mum is scattered at The Hole of Horcum which is on the way to Whitby ❤️ and well done to you both on that extravaganza of a walk 😁
Thank you Jen, sending virtual hugs back ❤
Enjoyed the walk guys thanks, beautiful views. Helen has some stamina hardly out of puff unlike some😮💨, probably give a mountain goat a damn good race. Just like you say James some can't do these walks and climbs myself included so it's good to see the countryside, the views and of course listen to your banter. Very enjoyable👌
Thanks, I always think of my parents who love the outdoors and nature but unfortunately can't do the walks
Thank you for taking us with you over the fells loved it take care God bless Tom and Rosie in Westmoreland.
Our pleasure!
Well done on your hike...Can't beat it...Makes u feel alive..
It really does 😊
Hi im a relatively new sub , love you guys , been binge watching your video's, ❤ from Manchester 😊
Thanks so much, glad you like the videos 😊
I did the same route, though some years ago now. Well done guys, excellent hike and video.
Thank you
Great video, looked hard work, id struggle with that but you did it! well done, lovely place
Thank you
I love that ramble one of my favourites👌🏻
Have a week off and do the Dales Way
It’s just amazing
Lovin the vids too
You two make me laugh remind me so much of myself 🤣
Thank you!
Loved this one. Well done both.
Your doing brilliant you sound fit . I was saying to the hubby I'd like to do that till the scary bits he said " that's to much for you " I agree lol x😅
I was half expecting you to bump into Henry Turner, because he's up in them hills all the time. I told him I'd never be up there because these legs wouldn't be able to cope these days, its taken me years to learn to walk again, thanks to the National Homicide Service. I used to fly and jump about all over the place in my youth. I used to climb escalators three treds at a time but now I need a safety net to negotiate a curb. I've fallen out of locomotives and I once fell out of my brake van while propelling my train up to Outybridge. No injuries whatsoever, but now I can't keep my footing since compression treatment. Innit grim.
Thank yo absolutely loved this walk. I might do it xx
You too were incredible. Really felt for you struggling at end. Definitely a bit much on the ole joints do you think? My husband and I used to love hiking but sadly I’m disabled now so I’d like to Thankyou both very much for taking us with you it was amazing. I was feeling for you when you got back to the van and couldn’t just crash both of you. Love all your posts xlisa and Andrew worksop x
Thank you, Im glad you enjoyed it
Loved watching it this one thanks...👍👍well done❤
Loved watching this. I feel like this is the classic Lake District experience 😂
