Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed. It was an exectional day. The Lakes gets its best light in winter and spring months, in summer it gets either too harsh or too hazy. Atb to you 👍
Even though I was born in Grimsby and now live in Braitree my Heart belongs in the Borrowdale Valley area after falling in LOVE with the peace and quiet on my first #C2C crossing. Never visited the area prior to the Coast to Coast but wandered about the Pennines for inner contentment, but I find myself returning about once ever five years to regain the Memory of PURE Peace and Tranquility that is Borrowdale and especally Stonetwaite Campsite. My next visit is now being planned for next summer to recharge my internal battery of all the wonderfull sites and sounds of what I can only describe as Heaven in England. It could also prove to be my last visit as the legs are now refusing to work as and when I want them too, but I have many years or memories from previous visit to the end of my Lifetime. Thank you for sharing your travels in the area. Tony in Essex, a retired Rambler/Long Distance Hiker.
Borrowdale is truly a magical place , far away from the crowds , I hope you enjoy your time here during your next visit and I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your legs. Atb Tony and thanks 😊
Billy is the king here 🤠👍 17:39 stunning views Tracy loved the hike up the valley (mega that ) Just shows it’s not always big elevation that matters when the views and fun to be had on these crags is like this 🤠👍 Fab Film Thanks Tracy 👍 Best regards Simon 🤠🙏🏼🏔️
Thank you Simon, I was just saying to Andy about CAM Crag on opposite side of valley is a good scramble climb up but not high, plenty of climbing routes on these Crags, thanks again Si atb
Good day to you! I am a senior rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan. I am enjoying camping ,touring and upload video. Your tour video is so nice! Awesome! Full supported ! Have a nice day my friend!
Just catching up on some of your older video's Tracy. This looks quite a challenging route but you were well rewarded with some amazing scenery. Billy coped really well. A true mountain dog indeed! Well done to both of you.
Great watch and a great route too, seems much more civilised than going up through the ferns to Sergeants Crag first, just to make it a round. I may do this tomorrow but I think I will go to the end of the valley to Lining Crag and head to the first summit from there. Thanks for the video, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan ....yes next time I do Eagle Crag I will do what you are going to do and head over Lining Crag , it's a steep pull up it and rough but it's great to see it close up. 👍
Wow, you seem to be developing a habit of late night releases. Only us night hawks still up at this time. Magnificent scenery, wonderful light almost comparable to Scotland and a hint that spring is on its way!😃
Well Tracey you described Borrowdale as ' Jurassic' 🙂 perfect description 👌 the weather was a tad different from the Ashness Bridge vlog. what a glorious day! You said how being somewhere & thinking it would be nice just to stay there & enjoy that moment...yeah that's when you know ya found something/somewhere special! The views from Sargents Crag was sublime looking down the valley & surrounding hills. The style that you encountered is something that needs addressing as it's not at all 'dog friendly' 🐶🐕 think a re think is needed here??? Must have been tricky trying to entice Billy Bob down from there & it would have made for a situation if he had refused to go 🤔fortunately he did! another excellent walk with the 2 of ya & the filming is top notch 👌 👍
Thank you David I'm not sure what they could do as the wall is so high and the drop of the ground from the stile that side is very steep but the bar across the top platform doesn't help at all I'm afraid it means I won't be able to go back with Billy on my own again as he is 30 kilos and too heavy for me and its one of my favourite views up there and favourite valleys, weather was perfect, thanks again
Hi Tracey and Billy. Lovely to see you out again on a beautiful bright day. Fantastic views. Glad you both managed to get up and down safely. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thanks for a brilliant video and a it gives a great showing of the valley track up to Lining Crag which ive never seen before in detail. Look amazing those waterfalls. I have to ascend Eagle Crag and Sergeant Crag as yet and that looks a good alternative from going straight up the nose 🙂
@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild Ive only just realised were I recognised you from when i watched your Howgill video with Andrew! 😂 Ive only just subscribed to Andrew too so look forward to seeing more adventures from you both 🙂
@@tonypilki3 haha well I hope you enjoy our adventures, thanks very much for the sub to both our channels, we do go walking alone too so our content sometimes differs, atb to you 👍
Cheers, gives me a good feel for doing Eagle Crag and Sergeant's from the Green up valley rather than the front face of Eagle. Will be staying in Langdale, so either planning to get bus around to Rothswaite and walk back to Langdale via the two crags or walk from Langdale/Stakes pass and end up doing the Crags.
@crispyshaw9204 I've recently uploaded a vlog of Eagle Crag over to long Crag towards High Raise and it shows the descent route off Sergeant's Crag over the stile ...I think this would be your route to Langdale ...I posted it about 2 weeks ago ....enjoy your time in the Lake District.
I'm afraid you cant see it, the best way to advise you is to head to the top of the Gill and when you get to the moraines ford the Gill and you will see a faint trod once through the marshy bit heading for the stile. There is also a stile other side of Sergents Crag to get you BCk to greenup Gill but I don't know the coordinates of it as I just shimmied inbetween a fence and a wall 😂 or you could carry on to Lining Crag and descend from there to Greenup Gill
Lovely film. I woukd love ro do this with my dog, where did you cross? Is there no visible path to Sargent Crag? Not entirely aure this route is that dog friendly tbh
The route onto Eagle Crag was tricky with the super high stile and steep drop the other side , then a bit of a scramble on a rocky step which you would have to ascend and then descend on way to sergeants Crag. To descend off Sergeants Crag to access a stile you have to continue further on off far side to reach the stile much further up the valley. I had to scale the stone wall with a fence where I noticed it was loose to shimmy between the wall and fence so not ideal to do that . But if you continue to stile that would be better but further. I will try to find coordinates of the stile for you.
As promised I have asked a fellow walker about the stile at Sargeants Crag, apparently you descend on the south side towards High Raise and only go 200 yards and you will see a stile giving access over wall to gain Greenup Gill , you will have to ford the Gill so I'd do this walk after a dry spell ...enjoy x
Lovely Tracy, what a day, possibly the best light I’ve seen on any vid.
Thank you🙏🙏🙏

@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild Billy Bob is good weight Tracey & I wouldn't like to think I had to try & pick him up either !

stunning scenery,hoping to get upto blackmoss

For a wee wild swim?? Well enjoy hope you get cracking sunshine, thanks for the comment and watch 👍
@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild not a problem, this video ad picked me up no end, not that I’m feeling down but you know what I mean.
@@MrJud62 that's really nice to know, that's why I do these videos 😊
@@Traceyattrill-Essexgirlinwild I had a similar comment on one of my recent videos, make making these videos more pleasurable.
@@MrJud62 I'll have a look at your videos 👌
is this an easier way up Eagle crag than going straight up the face through the long grass?
I would say so yes , there is no exposure going this way and definately more gradual , nice waterfalls too
Hoping to do this walk this week, can you see the stile on Eagle Crag from Greenip Gill?
I'm afraid you cant see it, the best way to advise you is to head to the top of the Gill and when you get to the moraines ford the Gill and you will see a faint trod once through the marshy bit heading for the stile. There is also a stile other side of Sergents Crag to get you BCk to greenup Gill but I don't know the coordinates of it as I just shimmied inbetween a fence and a wall 😂 or you could carry on to Lining Crag and descend from there to Greenup Gill
hi tracey,
im taking my dog out with me for a hike and was curious if this water is safe for them to drink/swim in? hope all is well!
Yes no problem for dogs , I wouldn't drink it personally without a filter but fine for dogs , enjoy 😉
Lovely film. I woukd love ro do this with my dog, where did you cross? Is there no visible path to Sargent Crag? Not entirely aure this route is that dog friendly tbh
