HI, thanks. This is a great route with stunning views and great scenery. "Blue Sky Eddie and Carol" I love it ! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie. ( Fingers crossed for more Blue Skies before the winter arrives)
Great video Eddie. Some super captures including the selfie photos. Pity you didn't get the views from the top of Scafell Pike but you've already done it with views so I guess not so bad. That rock with the arrows on they call it the "bad step". It's not so bad unless you trip and do a nose dive into the valley. Awesome views off Ill Crag and it's a summit I unfortunately missed out when I did this route a couple of years ago. It just means I shall have to do it again some time soon. Enjoyed watching 👍 Paul
Thanks Paul. It is a great route and one I will definitely be doing again. I was a bit disappointed with the cloud cover on Scafell Pike, but it did clear a bit to give me some atmospheric views through the clouds. A bit of care was needed on the section with the "bad step" but as you say, not too bad. ILL Crag was worth the small detour for the views from there. All in all, a great day! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Andy, thank you for such positive comments, it is really appreciated. It is a great route up to Scaffell Pike and definitely a walk I will be doing again sometime. The views are superb all throughout the route. Thanks again for watching & for the comments. Take care & Best Wishes. Eddie.
Brilliant video Eddie . That was my 214 walk with Great End .. Ill Crag has superb views well worth the 5 min walk from the main path most people just walk right by it as its not a Wainwright.
Thanks Ian. I nearly walked up to Great End on the route down, but I was feeling a bit knackered by that point! You are right about ILL Crag, it is a superb summit that is ignored by most people. I really enjoyed this route, it had great views all the way. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi there, Scafell Pike looks beyond amazing, we love seeing these walls/hikes & climbs you all have over there, the beautiful is incredibly, loved that bridge, it’s very Lord of the rings! Nice rocky path ascending up. Breathtaking views all around, nice to stop and take a look at the views. I would probably take three x as long getting up there! Thanks for sharing, have a great day - Kirsten
Thanks Kirsten. This was a great route up to Scafell Pike with some stunning views. Definitely a route I will be doing again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hey mannn, I did that route up to stockley bridge before turning right onto Seathwaite fell, then coming down to sty head tarn, across the start of the corridor and up to Great Gable... just four days before you did this walk! We parked in the same spot, under the trees just before the farm as well.... Talk about paths crossing! Ha ha. Never seen arrows on the rocks before mannn...was great to see you in I'll crag, got to be my favourite non Wainwright. That view of the esk valley and great Moss, simply breath taking, not to mention the view of the Scafell's from there is superb. Thanks for sharing our Eddie like. Excellent production...we did miss Carol mind.
Hi Vince. Hope you are well. Sounds like a good walk you did from the same place. If I had been four days earlier, we would have bumped into each other again. I agree with you about ILL Crag, it is a superb summit with great views. I will pass on your comments to Carol, she was feeling a bit under the weather, so sat this one out. Thanks again for watching & commenting Vince, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie
Well informed vlog Eddie thanks buddy I fancy doing this route this year cheers mate absolutely beautiful up top good job for the old pics also on scarfel subbed buddy spot on 👍
Hi, thanks for the positive feedback & the sub ( I have done likewise) The Corridor route is a superb route up to Scafell Pike, it is definitely one I would do again. A tricky section to overcome on the way up but not too bad with care. I was gutted when the cloud cover came in, but I did get some views and, as you say, handy having some photos from a previous trip up. Thanks again, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Mal. It is a great route with stunning views all the way. Definitely a walk I will be doing again sometime. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
I did this route a few weeks after this video, although this is first time I've watched it. The Corridor route is amazing and so peaceful. The vantage points are great as you highlighted in your video.
Hi, it is a great route up to Scafell Pike with superb views all the way as you will have experienced when you did this route. You are right about it being peaceful, I never saw anyone until I reached the final climb up to Scafell Pike. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
cracking hike Eddie, we done that route the opposite way when we went to scafell pike, what a lovely looking day you had for it too mate, the views were class 👌, the 360 views off ill crag looked brilliant and nice and clear, I remember that scramble section on the way, gotta watch the footing on there as its a canny drop. spot on mate, look forward to the next one, atb Mick 👍
Thanks Mick, it is a superb route, I enjoyed every minute of it. You are right about the scramble section, care is needed as it is quite a drop! The views from ILL Crag were really good and you get a great view looking over to Scafell Pike. I could see people coming & going from Scafell Pike and completely ignoring ILL Crag ( They are missing a great summit) Thanks again Mick for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie
Thanks David. It is a great route with stunning views. Yes you're right about the Scafells, really rocky terrain. You really have to watch your footing up there, it is tricky walking! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care from us both.
That was fantastic Eddie, brilliant hike and video, and as ever you made it look easy. This is what happens when you are on your own, you go hiking crazy! I didn't mind one bit the length, the more the better, I was even following the route on my OS App! As ever you got great weather though some clouds did appear on Scafell Pike. All the views and photos were fabulous. When you got to Esk Hause I realised Andrea and I had been there last year and I wondered why we never thought to go to Scafell. Loved all the walking bits for the camera - that would have slowed you down a bit - the corridor route looks like one we should definitely do, tricky but definitely within our scope I thought. Not many at the top but then you probably started really early. I'd say Eddie that this is probably your best video ever, and that's saying something. Regards, Ashley
Hi Ashley, thank you for such positive feedback on the video. I started the editing process with 2 hours worth of footage and nearly 200 photos! The scenery and route was that good I could have filmed a lot more. It is a great route up to Scafell Pike and definitely one you could do. I started the walk at 5.30am, but as you have mentioned, the filming etc slowed me down and it took me longer than normal to do the route. A 10 or 15 minute video could not have done this route justice, I spent a week and a half editing to get it to 27 mins! The clouds on Scafell Pike gave me some atmospheric views and ILL Crag was really good. Thank you again for watching & for the comments, it is appreciated. Take Care, Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 Early start for you paid off handsomely. Your editing also paid off well as the end product was superb. I'm still working on routes etc for september when I get a chance but Andrea got her polytunnel yesterday and that's the latest obsession!! Regards, Ashley
Hi, thanks. This is a great route up to Scafell Pike, the views were superb all the way. It was good to get some atmospheric views with the cloud cover as I got higher up. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Love the walk from seathwaite to styhead tarn gives you so many options ...lost some views on the tops Eddie but there's something about been in broken cloud formations .... brilliant video and info as always Eddie hope you enjoyed it ...Andrew 👍⛰️
Thanks Andrew, yes I agree, the area around Seathwaite & Styhead Tarn has some brilliant walks. It is fast becoming one of my favourite parts of the Lake District. I really enjoyed this route and would do it again anytime, it is superb! I was pleased I had some views from Scafell Pike as it was thick cloud when I arrived at the summit. The broken clouds made it more atmospheric. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Yasmin. It is a great route with stunning views all the way. Definitely one I will be doing again. Thanks again for watching and commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Now then Eddie, its been a while since i have commented(still watching your vids)......done this route about 5years ago but in reverse. I think its the best route up to Scafell pike and you showed it to perfection...........I diverted to Sprinkling tarn on the way for a cuppa(lovely spot)...............another route if you ever go up that way again is to cut off just after Esk-hause and take in Allen-craggs and Glaramara before heading down back to seathwaite, either way mate a superb video, really enjoyed it......ATB.........Stu.....👌👍..............hope you and Carol are well and look forward to more videos this year.
Hi Stu, good to hear from you. This is a great route up to Scafell Pike and one I definitely want to do again sometime. I might go off your suggestion the next time and head up to Allen Crags & Glaramara on the way back. We are both well, thanks, but had a real tough time since Christmas. My bother ( Eric) who was younger than me at 56 passed away suddenly on 27th Dec. It has been really sad, but hoping to get back on the fells soon. I did a walk up to Helvellyn with him and my other brother in Jan 2019 so I am planning to head back up to Helvellyn in his memory. It will be poignant, but will bring back some great memories of the day I went up with my brothers. Thanks again for watching and commenting Stu, it is always appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 My god Eddie im so sorry to hear that, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. That walk you have planned in his memory will be tough for you but will be really good for you in a mental-health capacity.....................I have been suddenly ill for the last 3months, blood pressure off the scale, so many scans and blood tests but they still dont know why as like you (and probably your brother) I have always been fit and healthy, really scary..........take care Eddie I feel for you.
@@stubloggs6358 Thanks Stu, my brother was an ex Para and Close Protection Officer who was fit and healthy, it has been such a shock to us all.

Fantastic video as always Eddie. Didn’t appear to be that many people about especially considering the lovely weather. Really enjoyed watching that. Hoping to get down again soon to rattle through a few more Outliers. Thanks for posting Eddie :-)
Thanks Alan, I never saw anyone until I started the final climb from Lingmell Col. There was a few people on the summit of Scafell Pike, but not too bad. It is a great route with superb views all the way. The Outlying Fells look good, I will have to give them a go sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks very much Eddie, what a great video and walk, I really enjoyed that. Simply spectacular scenery and photography. But how did you manage to get the place almost all to yourself! And thanks for showing us the route the whole way round.
Hi Peter, thanks for the really positive feedback, it is appreciated. I think the scenery did all the work for me on this route, everywhere I pointed the camera was a great view. It was superb walk and one I definitely want to do again. I started the walk early (05.30) in an attempt to avoid the crowds and give me plenty time to do the filming etc. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Cracking video Eddie, really helping me. I’m up here this week and although not doing the corridor this time around, it is still good viewing and really helpful to me to watch and reflect. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Chris. It is a cracking route and one that is definitely worth doing. Hope you are getting some good walks in, while you up here. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Absolutely brilliant footage Eddie. Lovely scenic shots with some daring routes. I can appreciate those walking past the camera shots, you must have had an extra Weetabix that day. All the best, David and Sue 👍
Thanks David, it was a great route. Wherever I pointed the camera was a great view. The walking past the camera shots does add extra time ( and distance) to the walk, but it gives a good perspective of the landscape and terrain. Definitely a route I want to do again sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care, both of you & Best Wishes from Carol & me.
Awesome hike Eddie, I usually do the route in reverse! Very atmospheric on the summit, loved the clouds rolling through giving little glimpses here and there👍👍
Thanks Anthony. I did not think I would get any views at all from the summit, but I was lucky as it cleared a bit to give some atmospheric views. Great Views from ILL Crag, that was well worth the small detour. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Dan, really appreciate the feedback. The Corridor route is a great route up to Scafell Pike. Sounds like you had a good walk on Crinkle Crags & Bowfell. Love those two fells. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Looked a tough walk and a route I have never taken before, always gone up from Wastwater but you got some stunning views on a lot quieter route. I thought you were going to get a white out on the summit at first but good to see you still managed to get that superb 360. I hope Carol is feeling better now, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. It is a great walk with stunning views all the way, definitely worth doing. I didn't think I would get any views from the summit, but the clouds cleared ,just enough to get some atmospheric views. Carol is feeling a lot better now, thanks Alan. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Pete. It is a great route. The views were stunning. Carol was feeling a bit under the weather, so decided to give this one a miss. There was a couple of sections with some tricky scrambling, where I had to watch my footing. Hope you are well. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Another great video Eddie, fantastic route with great views and of course superb weather! Only thing missing was Carol. Derek and I really enjoyed watching this. Has my voice stopped ringing in your ears yet? 🤣 Mary
HI Mary, I could still hear your voice when I was on Scafell Pike, ha,ha! I really enjoyed this route, the views were superb all the way. There was a bit more cloud on Scafell Pike than I was expecting, but it cleared a bit, and gave some atmospheric views. ILL Crag was superb and worth the small detour. Carol was feeling under the weather, so gave this one a miss. Hope you are both well? Thanks again to you and Derek for watching, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Lovely vid Eddie and nice too that you got the views, with the added interest of the clouds also. I need to know though, where this parallel universe is that you must have gone too, where you seemingly had the Corridor Route all to yourself, Scafell Pike summit was deserted and Seathwaite Farm had barely any cars parked there. Unbelievable! 😊 Cheers, atb Stuart 👍🏻
Thanks Stuart, it is a great route with superb views all the way. Definitely one I want to do again. I never saw anyone until I got to Lingmell Col. I did start really early in an attempt to beat the crowds. There was one or two on Scafell Pike, but not too bad. Hope you are well. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Jack. Thanks, it is a great route with stunning views. Fingers crossed the weather is kind for you on Saturday. Thanks for watching. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Great film and looks like a great route up to Scafell Pike, I've only ever done the direct one up and down from Wasdale. Is the 'bad step' manageable for an average hiker?
Hi, thanks. It is a really good route and one I will definitely be doing again sometime. A good head for heights is needed at the "bad step" as there is quite a drop, but other than that, with care, it is ok and is a short section of the route. If you watch your footing and take your time, you will be fine. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi, I was using the GoPro Hero 8 when I filmed this walk. I have since upgraded to the Hero 11 mainly for the improved stabilisation. The Corridor Route is a great route up to England's Highest mountain. Thank you for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks, Eddie. Always look forward to these videos.

Thanks Anthony. I did not think I would get any views at all from the summit, but I was lucky as it cleared a bit to give some atmospheric views. Great Views from ILL Crag, that was well worth the small detour. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thats my preferred route too Anthony, either way its a belter.
Love it. Learning alot from your videos Eddie thankyou. I enjoyed bowfell abd crinkle crags yesterday feeling it in the legs today haha.
Thanks Dan, really appreciate the feedback. The Corridor route is a great route up to Scafell Pike. Sounds like you had a good walk on Crinkle Crags & Bowfell. Love those two fells. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Looked a tough walk and a route I have never taken before, always gone up from Wastwater but you got some stunning views on a lot quieter route. I thought you were going to get a white out on the summit at first but good to see you still managed to get that superb 360. I hope Carol is feeling better now, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. It is a great walk with stunning views all the way, definitely worth doing. I didn't think I would get any views from the summit, but the clouds cleared ,just enough to get some atmospheric views. Carol is feeling a lot better now, thanks Alan.

Your best one yet Eddy I think. No Carol? I’m a bit scaredy-cat on all but the easy scrambles. Often wondered if u could do that Corridor route
Thanks Pete. It is a great route. The views were stunning. Carol was feeling a bit under the weather, so decided to give this one a miss. There was a couple of sections with some tricky scrambling, where I had to watch my footing. Hope you are well. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Another great video Eddie, fantastic route with great views and of course superb weather! Only thing missing was Carol. Derek and I really enjoyed watching this. Has my voice stopped ringing in your ears yet? 🤣 Mary
HI Mary, I could still hear your voice when I was on Scafell Pike, ha,ha! I really enjoyed this route, the views were superb all the way. There was a bit more cloud on Scafell Pike than I was expecting, but it cleared a bit, and gave some atmospheric views. ILL Crag was superb and worth the small detour. Carol was feeling under the weather, so gave this one a miss. Hope you are both well? Thanks again to you and Derek for watching, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 We're both fine thanks, hope Carol is feeling better now. We watch all your videos, always a pleasure, hope we see you again soon.
@@maryashbridge Carol is feeling much better, thanks. Hope to catch up with you both soon with the rest of the gang! Thanks again. Cheers. Eddie.
Lovely vid Eddie and nice too that you got the views, with the added interest of the clouds also. I need to know though, where this parallel universe is that you must have gone too, where you seemingly had the Corridor Route all to yourself, Scafell Pike summit was deserted and Seathwaite Farm had barely any cars parked there. Unbelievable! 😊 Cheers, atb Stuart 👍🏻
Thanks Stuart, it is a great route with superb views all the way. Definitely one I want to do again. I never saw anyone until I got to Lingmell Col. I did start really early in an attempt to beat the crowds. There was one or two on Scafell Pike, but not too bad. Hope you are well. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Doing this solo on Saturday thanks for info
Hi Jack. Thanks, it is a great route with stunning views. Fingers crossed the weather is kind for you on Saturday. Thanks for watching. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Great film and looks like a great route up to Scafell Pike, I've only ever done the direct one up and down from Wasdale. Is the 'bad step' manageable for an average hiker?
Hi, thanks. It is a really good route and one I will definitely be doing again sometime. A good head for heights is needed at the "bad step" as there is quite a drop, but other than that, with care, it is ok and is a short section of the route. If you watch your footing and take your time, you will be fine. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
what kind of gopro did you use to record this video？ wonderful sites！❤
Hi, I was using the GoPro Hero 8 when I filmed this walk. I have since upgraded to the Hero 11 mainly for the improved stabilisation. The Corridor Route is a great route up to England's Highest mountain. Thank you for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
