Splendud. Well done.
Hey John - I'm running the 100 next Friday, and having only run the last 50 (a couple of times... a few years ago now) your videos have been great for my virtual recce! They've given me a decent appreciation of the terrain, elevation distance between CPs etc - and you've done it all with a smile on your face. Good luck getting into the ballot next year. Dan
Thanks Dan I appreciate that. Sorry I didn’t finish the whole route mate I’ve been focusing on fell races, should have it done for next year tho. Good luck with the race! 🤘🏻🙂
Brill, love it. We need a "bomb it" count. Keep them coming 😎
We got a bonus “hoof it” in this one too 😀
These are great. Helping me recce the LL100 from my armchair whilst I train locally. Looking forward to the next installment 😍
Glad you’re liking them Paul. Unfortunately the next episode won’t be for a while. I’ve injured myself so it’ll be a couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for it tho 🤘🏻
Really enjoying this series, thanks for sharing. Your mystery structure on Clough Head is an old railway wagon which was used for transporting fruit & vegetables. Used to be loads of them scattered around the countryside, on farms etc.
Cheers Patrick. Yes there’s a few dotted about up there. I’d carry a small pair of binoculars if it wasn’t for the extra weight. Save my legs next time!
Excellent scenery and video editing as per usual.
Thanks Paula :) 👌🏻
It always puts a smile on my face when I get a notification you’ve uploaded a new video😊 Really enjoying this series🤙🏼
Cheers William I appreciate that. Glad you’re enjoying them 🤘🏻
Well done John I enjoyed that 👍I’m in the lakes next week and I’ll be giving it a go thanks for the motivation
Cheers mate. Hope the weather’s good for you 👌🏻
As ever, a great watch. Four days after this, I was walking a lot of that route in the rain and mud. This weather needs to ease off it’s going to be dry summer right 🙏.!!! Cape Wrath trail hey bet that was fun. It’s next on my long distance walks but work and family hold get in the way. When I retire 🤣
Fingers crossed for a good summer! 🤞🏻you should definitely have the CWT on your bucket list. I’m debating whether to redo it this summer as a personal fastest time attempt or do the Pennine Way.. decisions, decisions.. I only have a 2 weeks off work so that’ll be a factor too ☺️
I take it it’s a Wednesday…!😂…(respect mate 🏃♂️great series)
Glad you’re enjoying them mate 👌🏻
Another great video John. Well filmed, and a good mix of running and route/scenery. I like the way you never show yourself coming back to the get the camera - so many do and I always think “why show that?”🤷🏻♂️
Great inspiration, s’pose I’d better drag myself out of bed and go for a 7 mile run around Follifoot now 😀
Thanks man glad you like the vids. Trying to improve with each one.. but slow on uploading at the mo but the next one should be done by the end of next week. Go do that 7 miler! You’ll feel better for it 🤘🏻☺️
@@lakelandtrailrunner Just got back - absolute gorgeous day ☀️👍🏼
Was me saying hello just now in the corridor. Best wishes.
Ha that was you? Patient or employee?
@@lakelandtrailrunner On this particular trip (!) taking my daughter to see one of her residential care home residents who was in. 98 year old WW11 veteran pilot. A real character. He was really pleased to see her. She's a good girl.
@@reluctantfellrunner nice one mate good to see you, however briefly ;)
Another great video John. Always informative and good humour. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers
Glad you’re enjoying them mate 🤘🏻
There’s a really nice Cafe at Threlkeld , definitely worth a visit and i believe that structure is known as “The Old Coach” that actually was used on the coach road many years ago, another great video John 🙌
@@nealjoyce8696 yes there’s a couple of them dotted about up there.. would have been a good shelter back in the day.
Another good vid John, I like how your filming style is developing 👍
Cheers mate I appreciate that.. trying to make improvements in each vid 👌🏻
Excellent video, looked fresh out. That leg has changed a lot since I ran it. I remember feeling good on the Coach Road but reining back as it is good running, but still (relatively) early on! The structure had caught my eye on BGR recces, but I had never seen it in daylight. Excellent work 🙂👍
Cheers mate 👍🏻
Enjoyed this! Weather looks challenging but stunning, you give off Ex military vibes not sure what it is maybe just the phrases you use 😅🤷♂️
Cheers Evan glad you liked it. Ha some mannerisms stick with you mate ;)
Great video as always. I did wonder if you should be careful what you wish for when you were commenting on the amount of tarmac. Last time I was on the old coach road heading towards St John's in the Vale it was really rough underfoot.
Always be careful what you wish for 😉
lovely vid! Did you have a sarnie today? ;) We've been on that railway track a few times and love it. It's also where they do the Keswick parkrun if you didn't already know that. Looking forward to the next instalment. x
Cheers Nic. I did this time.. made sure of it on this run!
No gloves on that cold day!!!
I did put them on eventually 😂
