This was my grandparents favourite place and where we scattered their ashes. Just by some Rocks by a waterfall. Thanks to you I can see why they loved it. X I have always wanted to do the full walk and after this now I will. Thank you for showing me what they both loved so much.
After watching your videos for a few months now, one thing I'm noticing more and more lately are the drystone walls. I had to mention it after seeing the one at 4:54 and the ones at the end. Easy to take for granted, but they really are impressive. The amount of time and skill that went into making them all those years ago is crazy. Just gathering the stones in the first place would've been a monumental task, but to then assemble them so well that they last so long is amazing.
As soon as I hear that piano intro I know I'm in for a treat here. This didn't disappoint. I haven't been in this part of the Lakes before. It looks so wild and rugged. A true wilderness of atmospheric beauty. Oh! that track down in the valley with the walls and mountains. It just absolutely stunning.
Man, to have this whole place to yourself, away from crowds and in those conditions... I know wind and snow is can be brutal, but the nature looks way more spectacular wearing this dress than on any other blue sky day. It wakes up a different kind of feeling inside you.
I was up there in Oct 2020 and yes, it was a bog fest! Did see a herd of red deer though. It was my first time in that area too and that's one of the biggest pleasures I get from hiking the Wainwright's - getting to see new places. Cheers again...
As soon as I hear that piano intro I know I'm in for a treat here. Can you hear the motor bikes? This used to be calm and collected. BUT. NOW. A byway in the United Kingdom is a track, often rural, which is too minor to be called a road. These routes are often unsurfaced, typically having the appearance of 'green lanes'. Despite this, it is legal (but may not be physically possible) to drive any type of vehicle along certain byways, the same as any ordinary tarmac road. Welcome to Long Sleddale, mate.
Absolutely loved it! Just finished a shift, sat and yu chilled me, inspired me to get up in the hills again this week like yu did last week. You inspire so many people mate. Keep going brilliant skills ,cheers!
I have only recently discovered your channel and have become thoroughly addicted. Having just watched this amazing Longsleddale video, in the snow, the ice, the biting wind....and the views, the scale of the place, and most importantly to me, your few minutes of "why am I here/doing this in this weather/could still be in bed, etc...then to confirm your heart-felt love of the fells, in a few sentences which tugged so many of my own memories....poetry. Those who truly love the fells, those who feel the deepest of connections with being out there, whatever the weather, they know. They truly know. You don't seem to have visited the Howgills. You seriously must. Also the Borrowdale/Bretherdale fells, complete with as good a ridge walk as anything in the National Park. That's the Borrowdale close to Tebay, which is beyond beautiful. And the beauty of the area is magnified by it's being relatively unknown. Seeing anybody else would be a surprise. Loving the videos and will most certainly have a look at the photos you have for purchase.
What is brilliant is how every walk has different conditions, makes it really interesting. Obviously great to see views but can be very atmospheric when dark clouds gather!
Longsleddale what a gem like walking through a gorge at the top end I agree it looks superb thanks for this i think the bottom looks better than the tops. I have walked the Kentmere Horeshoe great walk but wow I missed this. Great video keep up the good work Norfolk mountain rescue is envious 🤣😂
Hi Glen, I’m relatively new to your channel and enjoy your take on the fells. This is my 2nd year doing the wild camping thing after completing the Wainwright’s last year. I’ve set myself a challenge of 1 camp a month and I will be out Friday for my April camp. Keep up the good work
The far eastern fells is definitely on my list now, like yourself it's never been on my radar. I was in lakeland on Sunday with a warm up to get mountain fit for a new year ahead. 14 miles, Old Man via Dow Crag then Brim fell and Swirl How before hopping across the prison band down into Coniston via the mines. I didn't see a thing due to low clouds, -9 wind chill and strong winds but loved every second of it. I've donated a few quid to buy you a "coffee" but please do get a pint on me instead on your next outing. These videos keep me sane when I can't get out there myself. You're the best around on youtube Glenn, cheers 🍻
Got some crazy weather in New England -36+ Fahrenheit wind chill in Boston, MA, and -108+ wind chill on Mt Washington New Hampshire. Great hike in the lakes.
Living life is what it's all about, how I would love the lakes on my doorstep, we will just have to wait till March. Another fantastic video from an unbelievably talented bloke. Reminds me of my nan and grandad when they used to look forward to Saturday night tv, me and my wife look forward to Sunday night you tube 🙂. All the best, Marc&Kelly.
This is one if those valleys in the lakes that it's like time has 'forgotten' the best part about these places are your away from the madding crowd 👍 the view coming down bates similarities to coming over Kirkstone towards Brotherswater 🤔i would have given the places with the eating crowd a miss too & probably bought something & sat in the car..more quiet 🙂another excellent vlog 👌
Stayed in this beautiful valley second week in January. First time for us. It was flooded so didnt get out walking much but fantastic area. We will just have to return as unfinished business.So pleased you visited this area.Iv watched that many videos I keep running out of data. 😂
Brings back many memories of the valley and walk, this was my very own local adventure playground as a boy, when I started work in Staveley I got myself a trials bike and rode Gatesgarth and Kentmere many times over the years, even over Harter Fell and up onto High Street in the summer. There is a difficult part along the road where there is a dog leg of stones layed vertical into the surface half way up Gatesgarth, on a motorcyle you have to keep going, if you stop you will fall off, on a mountain bike you have to push and walk it going up. There is a superb deep pool at one of the falls on the sprint, clear blue water and still quite cold even at the height of summer. I remember watching salmon swimming under Sadgil Bridge where I used to wash off my bike after reaching the metal road, we often got a drink of water at the farm.
You spent your youth in a wonderful playground.. but you don't need me to tell you that. I wish I could roll those childhood memories around to comfort my own mind 😏
As soon as I hear the first tinkly piano notes of your intro music I know it's time to pause the video, go and make a coffee, come back and settle down for some great viewing. Thanks for another fab video :)
Hi Glenn. We have rented a cottage.. High Swinklebank at the top of Longsleddale at least once every year, for the last 12 years. We have therefore followed all possible local rounds in that time. The absense of footfall is remarkable. Turf instead of staircases, and sometimes a whole day spent without human encounters. There is something you experienced and commented upon on the track down from the Quarry and it is what draws us back. I love your content and wish I could spend longer in your County. Oh and remember when Wainwright charted the valley and it's head for us he got off the bus on the A6! Thank you for another wonderful upload. Btw if you hug the fence it's never too wet😉
Thanks Glenn - cant tell you how much i enjoy these vids please keep going through all 7 books then may be the Howgills book and how about the Outerlying Fells because there are so many places youd otherwise miss 😂 please!!! 🍺🍺
Flippin' gorgeous! They should rename Longsleddale 'Middle Earth Dale'. You could definitely imagine a bunch of Hobbits appearing out of those crags! 😁
Great to see a new area in the Lakes. Really enjoyed it Glenn. I’d enjoy that long walk back to the car as I love the walk along Mickleden in the Langdale valley. Keep them coming Glenn 👍
Another fantastic vlog, Glenn! 👏 Decided a few years back to add walking all the Wainwrights to my bucket list. Don't get to The Lakes very often so am on 42 to date. I have read AW's books cover to cover at least twice and dip into them regularly, but it is your wonderful videos that have really pieced together in my head where all the fells are in relation to each other. I now have plenty of inspiration for which ones to do next when I am up in May. Thank you for bringing The Lakes so vividly to my living room 🙏
Well you lucky man, I did the crossing to Tarn Crag across the bog, when it was warmer weather, and a full tarn up to the wire fence. I knew nothing of this tarn and bog when I set out. It resulted in a mild panic, and the use of the lower wire on the fence to keep me from being consumed into the peaty depths over maybe 50 metres traverse, quite unerving to be honest. As bad, was the off route from Tarn Crag down to Mosdale, and it's reedy squelching, path, yes cracking waterfalls on the return back to Longsleddle. An interesting walk. Saw you the other day in Grange Co-op, as you dashed out of the shop, didn't realise you had pulled in behind me in your van outside Grange Ambulance station.
Terrific video as always! And that's all new ground to me too - I've never been up Longsleddale, never mind walked the tops around it and it looks like I've been missing out enormously. People often deride 'doing a list' but I think it's great that doing something like that not only gives you a goal and makes you get out when maybe you would have to push yourself to do so, but it encourages exploration of areas not on your radar. What a superb setting that valley is and you're right about that lane coming back down - just the u-shape of the valley, with the leading line of the wall and the track looks stunning. You can imagine that in all different light and seasons. Noted on the bog of doom though! One to do in frozen winter or a summer drought! Really enjoying these videos, thank you.
Please keep doing what you're doing.Alas this year off to the Brecon Breacons instead but looking forward to it(never been).if I win the lottery I'm investing in you,and your channel.keep it real.
Another great video in a part of the lakes I have never visited either so it was great to see. Thanks again for doing these, I look forward to them every week.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. We're in Devon and love the Lakes & fells. Managed a few days up there a week or so ago. Walked up Blencathra in the snow, it was amazing. Having just watched this we want to come back again already!
At risk of repeating myself again... Brilliant video, excellent waffle and that all important insight on what to expect. For all the holidays we've spent in the North/Eastern Fells, this is another one we've missed/avoided but was recently added to the To Do List for this summer. Looks like we'll be bog snorkeling again. Would love to get up there more often but oportunities are rare. Anyway, you keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching. 🍻
Love love love your videos . They have really really inspired me to get out walking in our beautiful lake district x I'm doing kentmere horseshoe on Tues. Would love to bump into u on't fells . Big love and keep up the amazing videos 👍👍🥾🥾🏔🏔
Another beautiful walk and that stunning view from the walled path down into the valley ❤ Still looking a bit too icy and cold for my liking though 🥶 Roll on the Spring! I'd rather deal with the bogs than that ice lol
Just wondering Glenn, if you suffer with any social anxiety? Very much like myself, I avoid the busy pubs, the busy hikes and much prefer the peace 😂 Been making my way through your hikes mate, they have a very unique calmness to them, which is why I love your channel. Unfortunately I can’t donate as lost my business but normally always would do . Glad to see the videos getting more attention now 😊
Great video, hiked the routes before Christmas this year, again in the New Year, had clear views on this one. Thank you for the reminder, of the honesty box. A valley I’d never been before. Great valley.
Thanks for the video. Pity about the the lack of views on the tops of Tarn Crag and Grey Crag (thought for a while it was Gray Crag!) as they say you can see Ingleborough and Whernside on a clear day.
@@BlackCrag still, gets you to places you wouldn't normally go. Take your waders to Green Crag if you haven't yet been there. Planning to move to Cumbria in a couple of years. Peak District is great but it not the lakes. Have fun.
Hi Glenn, wonderful part of the Lakes this, just got into hiking myself, landscape photographer predominantly but really enjoying the hiking side of it, slightly off piste, do you print your own photos? Regards Stuart
bog of doom, you're not wrong! We did that back in Sept 21 and jeez!! Never again (although you've made it have a certain appeal being frozen over!) :) what was your choc bar of choice this walk then (please tell me you at least had a choc bar whilst getting frozen to bits!) x
@@BlackCrag I mean, it certainly wasn't fun (and this was one of our "long" walks trying to tick off a lot of WWs that day so we were already about 6 miles in by this point) all I can say is bleugh 🤢 (and we went the wrong way a bit too so just kept having to wade through!) Ohhhh shnickersh!! Nice choice! I still say you should try a Yorkie! 😉
Hi. I am really enjoying the Channel. Every night I watch a video and it is massively inspiring me to get back out there. Such a long way from Lincolnshire though! I wonder if you could give me your opinion on something please? Is the Lord's Rake and W WT a step too far for me and my lad of 10. I am a very experience Wainright bagger and my lad has done Sharp Edge, Scafell Pike and Corridor Route in recent years? Thanks Steve
Thanks so much 😊 I'd be very wary of taking a child up Lord's Rake. Sharp Edge can be a breeze in dry conditions but rakes are always known to be very loose, steep and tricky in all conditions. I'm ultra cautious though. Maybe walk to the foot of the rake and decide at that point. Have an alternate route planned in case you decide not to go up.
Just a suggestion. Can you add date details to when you did the hikes? It may help novices to understand what the conditions are like at a particular time of year. BTW where's that review on the water purification system you promised? I'm still waiting to buy one for the warmer months in the lakes. Keep up the good work fella and looking forward to booking you for a photography session this year. I'm 5 of the hikes behind you BTW. My novice partner is buzzing off the routes so far. OS map app is well worth the money. I used to use "View Ranger" then it changed hands to "Outdoor active" (Not recommended at all).
I would love to see more B roll and time lapses. I feel like they convay more of a story. For example at the start you mention your heading to the survey station, you could then time lapse / B roll to it and then tell us what is all about. More story telling. It feels rude to say this but some videos are really hard to sit though you talking for 37 minutes. If this is your style then obviously that fine but that just some constructive criticism. I only mean well and would love to see your channel grow. Also, I would 100% buy some prints if you had lighter photos and more greens. I have looked on your website and I couldnt find any. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I know you mean well and I do encourage all forms of feedback, but this could be problematic. Essentially I'd have to change my filming format back to what I used to do (and nearly killed me) as well as change my photography style entirely. The former I could potentially do if enough people are in favour (less talking and more B roll). The latter will probably never happen. I photograph what excites me and I create art that I like to look at. I can't force myself to photograph things that simply leave me cold emotionally. But I do thank you for watching and giving me your thoughts. Like I said, all feedback is very much welcomed here 😊
wholeheartedly disagree with more B roll. I don't find it as nice to watch as him just having the camera in hand tracking where he is going. Watching B roll knowing he'll have to track back to go and get the camera gets a bit tiresome if you watch loads. I know he used to do this and it wasn't as much fun to watch (my opinion) I personally love his current style, it's engaging, great paced and he's such fun to watch. I say, keep the style you've got now, I think it's much better (and I feel we get more vids, better quality as we get to see his face and narration more too)
This was my grandparents favourite place and where we scattered their ashes. Just by some Rocks by a waterfall. Thanks to you I can see why they loved it. X I have always wanted to do the full walk and after this now I will. Thank you for showing me what they both loved so much.
That's lovely! I hope you manage to walk it one day 😊
Absolutely loved this one! Fantastic wild landscapes and solitude. Making me long to visit the fells again!

Thanks for walking the icy trods of Sleddale, void of man nor beast. As you rightly say stunning land but brutal weather. We appreciate your visit. 🥶😃

"Hey Rostie!!" 🤷🏼♀️ You always make navigation seem so straightforward 😊
Thanks so much 😁🙏
Absolutely loved it! Just finished a shift, sat and yu chilled me, inspired me to get up in the hills again this week like yu did last week.
You inspire so many people mate. Keep going brilliant skills ,cheers!
Thank you, really appreciate that 😊 🙏
You're right about the delicious water. The tap water in north Manchester is amazing. Top quality spring water on tap. Best corporate pop in Britain.
I have only recently discovered your channel and have become thoroughly addicted. Having just watched this amazing Longsleddale video, in the snow, the ice, the biting wind....and the views, the scale of the place, and most importantly to me, your few minutes of "why am I here/doing this in this weather/could still be in bed, etc...then to confirm your heart-felt love of the fells, in a few sentences which tugged so many of my own memories....poetry. Those who truly love the fells, those who feel the deepest of connections with being out there, whatever the weather, they know. They truly know.
You don't seem to have visited the Howgills. You seriously must. Also the Borrowdale/Bretherdale fells, complete with as good a ridge walk as anything in the National Park. That's the Borrowdale close to Tebay, which is beyond beautiful. And the beauty of the area is magnified by it's being relatively unknown. Seeing anybody else would be a surprise.
Loving the videos and will most certainly have a look at the photos you have for purchase.
What is brilliant is how every walk has different conditions, makes it really interesting. Obviously great to see views but can be very atmospheric when dark clouds gather!
Thanks very much..... I agree that the weather makes it. And it's faithful to what it's like in the Lakes.... Mostly nasty 😂
Longsleddale what a gem like walking through a gorge at the top end I agree it looks superb thanks for this i think the bottom looks better than the tops. I have walked the Kentmere Horeshoe great walk but wow I missed this. Great video keep up the good work Norfolk mountain rescue is envious 🤣😂
Thanks so much 😊 🙏
And thank you for your generous donation, means a lot 🙏
Hi Glen, I’m relatively new to your channel and enjoy your take on the fells. This is my 2nd year doing the wild camping thing after completing the Wainwright’s last year. I’ve set myself a challenge of 1 camp a month and I will be out Friday for my April camp. Keep up the good work
The far eastern fells is definitely on my list now, like yourself it's never been on my radar. I was in lakeland on Sunday with a warm up to get mountain fit for a new year ahead. 14 miles, Old Man via Dow Crag then Brim fell and Swirl How before hopping across the prison band down into Coniston via the mines.

Got some crazy weather in New England -36+ Fahrenheit wind chill in Boston, MA, and -108+ wind chill on Mt Washington New Hampshire. Great hike in the lakes.
Living life is what it's all about, how I would love the lakes on my doorstep, we will just have to wait till March.
Another fantastic video from an unbelievably talented bloke.
Reminds me of my nan and grandad when they used to look forward to Saturday night tv, me and my wife look forward to Sunday night you tube 🙂.

"Probably looks rubbish because it's a go-pro." Looks pretty bloody good to me! Great video mate.
Brings back many memories of the valley and walk, this was my very own local adventure playground as a boy, when I started work in Staveley I got myself a trials bike and rode Gatesgarth and Kentmere many times over the years, even over Harter Fell and up onto High Street in the summer.
There is a difficult part along the road where there is a dog leg of stones layed vertical into the surface half way up Gatesgarth, on a motorcyle you have to keep going, if you stop you will fall off, on a mountain bike you have to push and walk it going up.
There is a superb deep pool at one of the falls on the sprint, clear blue water and still quite cold even at the height of summer.
I remember watching salmon swimming under Sadgil Bridge where I used to wash off my bike after reaching the metal road, we often got a drink of water at the farm.
Thanks very much! Sounds like some very happy memories 😊
You spent your youth in a wonderful playground.. but you don't need me to tell you that. I wish I could roll those childhood memories around to comfort my own mind 😏
As soon as I hear the first tinkly piano notes of your intro music I know it's time to pause the video, go and make a coffee, come back and settle down for some great viewing. Thanks for another fab video :)
That's great to hear, thanks very much 😊☕
Excellent video! What an incredible place. A heard of woolly mammoth wouldn't look out of place in that valley. Thanks for the trip.
Thanks very much 😊 Yes, you're right about that!
Hi Glenn. We have rented a cottage.. High Swinklebank at the top of Longsleddale at least once every year, for the last 12 years. We have therefore followed all possible local rounds in that time. The absense of footfall is remarkable. Turf instead of staircases, and sometimes a whole day spent without human encounters. There is something you experienced and commented upon on the track down from the Quarry and it is what draws us back. I love your content and wish I could spend longer in your County. Oh and remember when Wainwright charted the valley and it's head for us he got off the bus on the A6! Thank you for another wonderful upload. Btw if you hug the fence it's never too wet😉
Thanks so much 😊 The walk in from the A6 must have been soul destroying!
@@BlackCrag as a walk in itself it's delightful, but to then tackle the heights is true dedication
Thanks Glenn - cant tell you how much i enjoy these vids please keep going through all 7 books then may be the Howgills book and how about the Outerlying Fells because there are so many places youd otherwise miss 😂 please!!! 🍺🍺
Thanks so much 😊 hopefully moving onto some international trails 😁
Another goodun Graeme and in the snow too. I've only been on Grey Crag & Tarn Crag in warmer weather and can vouch for parts of it being very boggy.
ARRGGHH! Glenn, not Graeme. Bloody predictive text, I should have checked.
Thanks very much 😊 Don't worry, I get called much worse things 😂
Flippin' gorgeous! They should rename Longsleddale 'Middle Earth Dale'. You could definitely imagine a bunch of Hobbits appearing out of those crags! 😁
Thank you 😊 you're absolutely right!
Great to see a new area in the Lakes. Really enjoyed it Glenn. I’d enjoy that long walk back to the car as I love the walk along Mickleden in the Langdale valley. Keep them coming Glenn 👍

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video . I really enjoyed that walk it was bone dry when I did it . I also added Kentmere Pike and Shipman Knotts .
Glad you enjoyed it thank you 😊
@Black Crag always a joy when your video pops up .
Fantastic film again. A valley lost in time I felt. I think its cold and bleak there all year :)
Thanks very much 😊 you're probably right 😂
Great video once again! Looked like a top day, moody conditions 👌
Thanks buddy 😊 it was an amazing day 👌
Oh, and thanks for the recent order of T-shirts 🙏
No worries! They're probably the best fitting t-shirts I have 😂 always happy to support the best hiking channel on YT
Loved this Glenn. It brought back happy memories of walking this route in reverse in May 2021. It is a truly beautiful place.
Thanks very much Angela 😊
Walked round there last weekend but we started further up the hill
A staple part of our viewing now. Fantastic series! Thank you 😊
Thanks so much, means a lot 😊 🙏
Cracking hike round that area, stunning views I'm sure more so on a clear day or not so much low cloud. Already looking forward to your next outing 🙂
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊 🙏
At risk of repeating myself again... Brilliant video, excellent waffle and that all important insight on what to expect.
For all the holidays we've spent in the North/Eastern Fells, this is another one we've missed/avoided but was recently added to the To Do List for this summer. Looks like we'll be bog snorkeling again. Would love to get up there more often but oportunities are rare.
Anyway, you keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching. 🍻
Thanks for watching 😊 Maybe bring some waders 😁
Love love love your videos . They have really really inspired me to get out walking in our beautiful lake district x I'm doing kentmere horseshoe on Tues. Would love to bump into u on't fells . Big love and keep up the amazing videos 👍👍🥾🥾🏔🏔
Thanks very much 😊 enjoy your walk 🙌
Another beautiful walk and that stunning view from the walled path down into the valley ❤ Still looking a bit too icy and cold for my liking though 🥶 Roll on the Spring! I'd rather deal with the bogs than that ice lol
Thanks John, it's a lovely spot 😍
Thanks Glenn you are a better man than me to go out in those conditions! Much appreciated to be shown what I am missing.
Thanks so much 😊
Just wondering Glenn, if you suffer with any social anxiety? Very much like myself, I avoid the busy pubs, the busy hikes and much prefer the peace 😂
Been making my way through your hikes mate, they have a very unique calmness to them, which is why I love your channel. Unfortunately I can’t donate as lost my business but normally always would do . Glad to see the videos getting more attention now 😊
Walked a couple of routes at the top end of Postman Pat valley. Kentmere Pike and the walk you are doing, great stuff. Thanks.
What are you doing there?? Making great videos for us to enjoy that’s what 😂😀 prefer bed myself like but you crack on mate 🤣
Ha! Thanks for watching 😁
Great video, hiked the routes before Christmas this year, again in the New Year, had clear views on this one. Thank you for the reminder, of the honesty box. A valley I’d never been before. Great valley.
Thank you 😊 🙏
Stunning scenery bud, this place looks breathtaking, absolutely freaking breathtaking! Once again you created amazing atmosphere here.
Thanks so much 😊 🙏
Cool video thanks for sharing
Left a like to support your channel 👍🏽
Well that's inspired me. Thank you.
I'm so glad! 😊🙌
great walk we enjoyed it a lot thank you
Thanks for watching 😊
Another fantastic video. Thank you very much indeed.
Thanks very much 😊 🙏
That was an unexpected awesome video. Yer I never really hear of people doing these much, defo on the list tho.
Thank-you.
Ace content once again mate, we were in the Peak District today and first time ever we have been blown over in gale force winds 👍
Thank you 😊 that sounds crazy!
Your not wrong saying it is one of the most beautiful areas in this country if not the world
Missed the best section of waterfalls , was just there yesterday, one of my mates went in for a swim
Hi buddy great to see you out thanks for the video
Thank you 😊
Another great video. Thank you so much.
Thank you 😊 🙏
Brill walk Glenn. I have just spent the past few days looking at this very area. Thinking about linking it to Branstree and Sellside 🙂
Thanks very much 😊 You definitely could do that, they're close enough I guess 👍
Thanks for the video. Pity about the the lack of views on the tops of Tarn Crag and Grey Crag (thought for a while it was Gray Crag!) as they say you can see Ingleborough and Whernside on a clear day.
Thanks very much 😊 🙏
Nice one Glenn😀👌
Thanks David 😊
Jealous, wish I lived closer to the lakes so many photo opportunities. 👍
❤❤ so amazing ❤❤
Yep, been there, done that. You do sometimes wonder why he chose some of the hills that he did.... All the best. Sheffield
Very true! 😂
@@BlackCrag still, gets you to places you wouldn't normally go. Take your waders to Green Crag if you haven't yet been there. Planning to move to Cumbria in a couple of years. Peak District is great but it not the lakes. Have fun.
Fantastic 👍
Thank you 👍
Might do this route next weekend, hopefully the ground will be still frozen.
Hi Glenn, wonderful part of the Lakes this, just got into hiking myself, landscape photographer predominantly but really enjoying the hiking side of it, slightly off piste, do you print your own photos? Regards Stuart
bog of doom, you're not wrong! We did that back in Sept 21 and jeez!! Never again (although you've made it have a certain appeal being frozen over!) :) what was your choc bar of choice this walk then (please tell me you at least had a choc bar whilst getting frozen to bits!) x
Oh I bet that was HELL! 😱 No food til I got back to the van. Then I had ALL the food, including a Shnickersh 👌
@@BlackCrag I mean, it certainly wasn't fun (and this was one of our "long" walks trying to tick off a lot of WWs that day so we were already about 6 miles in by this point) all I can say is bleugh 🤢 (and we went the wrong way a bit too so just kept having to wade through!) Ohhhh shnickersh!! Nice choice! I still say you should try a Yorkie! 😉
All I'd want after this walk,is a big mug of hot chocolate.
what are you doing there? extreme measures to visit the pub. top man.
😂 Very good point!
Great sound quality. I'm hard of hearing, so much appreciated.
How far is this from coniston was not that much snow other there when went otherday
It's the other side of the park. But it was filmed over a week ago and all the snow has gone now.
That landscape looks like it's right out of an M.R. James novel?
Great on bud, Just a question from the wife, How many wainwright's have you done so far 👍
Thank you 😊 Do you mean so far in the series or ever?
@@BlackCrag sorry, ye so far.😁
Hi. I am really enjoying the Channel. Every night I watch a video and it is massively inspiring me to get back out there. Such a long way from Lincolnshire though! I wonder if you could give me your opinion on something please? Is the Lord's Rake and W WT a step too far for me and my lad of 10. I am a very experience Wainright bagger and my lad has done Sharp Edge, Scafell Pike and Corridor Route in recent years?
Thanks
Steve
Thanks so much 😊 I'd be very wary of taking a child up Lord's Rake. Sharp Edge can be a breeze in dry conditions but rakes are always known to be very loose, steep and tricky in all conditions. I'm ultra cautious though. Maybe walk to the foot of the rake and decide at that point. Have an alternate route planned in case you decide not to go up.
Just a suggestion. Can you add date details to when you did the hikes? It may help novices to understand what the conditions are like at a particular time of year.
BTW where's that review on the water purification system you promised? I'm still waiting to buy one for the warmer months in the lakes.
Keep up the good work fella and looking forward to booking you for a photography session this year. I'm 5 of the hikes behind you BTW. My novice partner is buzzing off the routes so far. OS map app is well worth the money. I used to use "View Ranger" then it changed hands to "Outdoor active" (Not recommended at all).
Thanks very much 😊 Date should be there somewhere, though it might be hidden by TH-cam. I want to do some reviews but time is really tight right now.
@@BlackCrag No worries. My end I can't see a date stamp. BTW Saturday last week was shite weather wise. I'd have preferred the snow storm you had.
Longsleddale...like the Lakes was many years ago
Very much so 😊
So true. Leaky boots. Vinyl waterproofs. Wet undies. Cottages inhabited by locals. Hostel sleeping bags. Coniston co-op. Frame rucksacks. Happy memories.
AHHHHHHH
what's wrong with weather spoons lol
😂
I would love to see more B roll and time lapses. I feel like they convay more of a story. For example at the start you mention your heading to the survey station, you could then time lapse / B roll to it and then tell us what is all about. More story telling.
It feels rude to say this but some videos are really hard to sit though you talking for 37 minutes. If this is your style then obviously that fine but that just some constructive criticism. I only mean well and would love to see your channel grow.
Also, I would 100% buy some prints if you had lighter photos and more greens. I have looked on your website and I couldnt find any.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. I know you mean well and I do encourage all forms of feedback, but this could be problematic. Essentially I'd have to change my filming format back to what I used to do (and nearly killed me) as well as change my photography style entirely. The former I could potentially do if enough people are in favour (less talking and more B roll). The latter will probably never happen. I photograph what excites me and I create art that I like to look at. I can't force myself to photograph things that simply leave me cold emotionally.
But I do thank you for watching and giving me your thoughts. Like I said, all feedback is very much welcomed here 😊
wholeheartedly disagree with more B roll. I don't find it as nice to watch as him just having the camera in hand tracking where he is going. Watching B roll knowing he'll have to track back to go and get the camera gets a bit tiresome if you watch loads. I know he used to do this and it wasn't as much fun to watch (my opinion) I personally love his current style, it's engaging, great paced and he's such fun to watch. I say, keep the style you've got now, I think it's much better (and I feel we get more vids, better quality as we get to see his face and narration more too)
Sorry mate. Can't you just walk and enjoy? Why invite anyone else?
That valley looks so nice... It's like a walker's honister pass 🏞️💚 extra points for the walled track, it's got it all🤩
You're right, it does look like that 😂
