Exploring Playa Blanca | Lanzarote | Canary Islands
I recently visited Playa Blanca in Lanzarote and spent some time exploring the area. We checked out several different spots and hiked a few mountains. It’s a great destination for anyone looking to get out of their hotels and enjoy a good walk. Have a great week, everyone!

Via Ferrata Xtreme | Honister Slate Mine | Lake District

This week, we took on the Via Ferrata Xtreme at the Honister Slate Mine in the Lake District. It cost £65 per person and is designed to be a 3-hour activity, which ours took, though the duration can vary depending on the group's pace. If you've never tried it, it's definitely worth booking. I'll be honest, the Infinity Bridge scared me a bit as it feels like your not in control. You can pay an ...

      Sharp edge feels more exposed as it's a lot narrower than striding edge, it's a lot shorter in length though so you cross fairly quick, just got to be careful in what type of weather you go up in, if you've done striding edge and felt ok you should be fine, I always think it looks worse on RUclips 😂

    I enjoy these roundabout videos. I now look at roundabouts in a different way and wonder how many each can accommodate. I don't get the 'stealth' bit - wandering around with a head torch is a bit of a givaway. However, I admire the effort. Perhaps you can give a Tripadvisor type review for each roundabout - using headings such as 'access', ' cleanliness', 'facilities', and 'the view'. Keep exploring.

    Hi Matt. RUclips served up your video after I was researching the Greenburn Round. We base a lot of walks around Grasmere so this looks ideal. My wife is not good with scrambling and edges so some research of routes is required (and my track record has not been great) to make sure it meets the requirement! Thanks for taking the time to put this together and posting. This is the first of your videos I have watched but I found the format VERY useful, particularly the route overview at the end with maps; something that is often missing from other videos. As a result, you have anew subscriber. I see that you post your GPX tracks to Outdooractive so I have followed you there. After watching your video, I think this walk is added to my list as apart from the boggy ground, there doesn't seem to be any dangerous edges or scrambling. Thanks again!

    Slung our Vango xenon F10 in that exact same spot and our ferrino force 2 just in front of it the next time. Think you have it all to yourself until going back down in the morning and there's a dozen folks with backpacks doing the same.

      Haha what's the chances mate, nice little spot that, just enough to get my tent in and yeah when I woke up there was tents everywhere, didn't know it was so popular

    Camped there twice now. Easy to get to and quiet mid week. Mill Inn is worth staying in too if you make a few days of it. Blencathra is a hike away too.

      Lovely spot mate, even over the weekend it was pretty chilled out, will be returning at some stage, Ive popped in the Mill in a couple of times for a pint after hiking Blencathra, spot on pub and might stay there at some point now that you've mentioned it 👌

    16:20 that's Halls Fell Ridge, great scramble that, quite long, I usually come up that way. Top day that, got the weather for a change 😊 I think the cross was built in memory of someone who lived in Threlkeld below, been there years that but don't remember it being that big 😮

    • @MattDoesMountains

      Funny enough another person I follow literally posted a video the other day scrambling up that ridge for a wild camp on Blencathra, Looks a belter and would love to tackle it at some point for a different perspective, you've just reminded me to check the cross out and yeah your right lad, a memorial for somebody who died near by, I think when I first went up with you about 15 years ago it looked completely different
