  • Hiking the Wainwrights - Season 1: Eastern Fells - Episode 3. Clough Head, The Lake District
    I knew this was going to be along one but in the end it was perhaps a little too long! What started out as a warm calm day down in the valley turned out to be a blustery one up in the hills making the walking along this exposed route quite arduous at times.
    But a fine day out nonetheless and I managed to have 99% of the route to myself making for a very peaceful - if a little frustrating and sweaty - day.

    Loving the wainwright videos . I’ve lived in the Lake District 46 years ! My entire life and have only just started walking on the beautiful fells that surround me . Your videos have inspired me to get off my fat ass . I can’t wait for Saturday to get back out on them 👏

    Never realised the names like "Sty" and "dodd" had meanings behind them in relation to the topography and geology of the mountains. Learn something new everyday

  • @philipjones637
    @philipjones637 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Yes! These are going be a great accompaniment to the books and for someone like me who hasn’t delved into them as much as I used to do a great incentive to get them back out.

    Just rewatching your wainwright series 1.. I went to Lake District a lot as a kid, teens and 20's - way back and stayed at Kewswick with a family friend. I remember those bits of tractor etc with foliage growing through and being confused as they seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. I remember going up the little path afterwards and looking at Dad who was leading the hike as if he was mad...where were we going!...Dad led the hikes and Mum got us out of trouble as he always got lost and I was hopeless. On hot days
    it was a slog up to White Pike and we would sit on the rocky bit and drink our fill. It was strange all the grassy Dodds, but the views, as you say, were really incredible. Where I live near Dungeness Kent it is as flat as a pancake, at sea level... so I would have to acclimatise, by visiting as many pubs as possible on the way up now!🤑🤣It's a fantastic series, this episode in particular as I am so familiar with the area.

    Another great video. With all those cracking views I did miss the "fell labeling" we saw in the last video but I guess the wind may have made the static panoramic shots a bit tricky. Loved the great shots of Fisherplace waterfalls right near the end. Cannot wait to see where you go next.

    Awesome. Did that walk in reverse last month! In the quarry near the old tractors I got a bit lost and the light was going, there was an old guy, in tweed, with a sheep dog, looking round the quarry. I asked him directions and he pointed with his stick and told me to take the corpse road. I’m sure he grinned. It was a strange moment. Great video 👍
