Cumbria Way Day 5
The final day, and some decent weather. Some say this is a boring day, and some of it is, but there is some nice scenery in parts. After doing no training at all for this walk, I was pleased to complete it, and ended up walking just over 80 miles.

This was the hardest days walking I have done for a long time! The weather was terrible, heavy rain and really strong winds, and the most exposed terrain of the walk. An epic day was endured...

Day 2 of the Cumbria Way, Coniston to Keswick, and the views are opening up.
Cumbria Way Day 1

The Cumbria Way is a 5 day walk starting in Ulverston in the south lakes, and ending in Carlisle. With no training, and little prep, I decided to give it a go. Join me, as I attempt to complete the Cumbria Way.
Glyder Fach via Y Gribin ridge

It was great to be back out in the mountains at last. My Plantar Fascilitis has cleared up, no issues with it on this walk for the first time in months. It was very windy on top, so apologies for the audio quality at times.
Dinorwic Quarry

First time out for months, with a change of plan due to the weather. Instead of a scramble, we headed to Dinorwic quarry. With Koos, the scrambling dutchman. Check out his channel... Clogs on the mountain.
Tryfan Milestone Gully
Просмотров 45510 месяцев назад
A really tough day in the mountains. After not sleeping very well and getting up at 5.20am, I was sitting in the car thinking about a nice full english breakfast. Which made the following even harder, one of those days where I just wasn't feeling it. Awful weather, wet conditions made the ascent of Milestone gully a tough start to the day. North ridge and North tower and a descent of West gully...
Tryfan North Ridge

Back in the Ogwen valley after far too long. A really tricky scramble up the north ridge in icy conditions. Great to see the first snow of winter. Excuse the camera action at times, clunky gloves get in the way!
Catbells-Derwent water circular
Просмотров 182Год назад
A full (wet!) circuit of Derwent Water, taking in Catbells. A great walk while on holiday in Keswick. Stunning views from the summit.
Cnicht
Просмотров 469Год назад
The Cnicht horseshoe is a great walk, not too difficult, with fantastic views. Known as the Welsh matterhorn due to it's shape when viewed from the SW, at 689m/2260ft, it's not the highest in the area. But a great little scramble at the top makes it a fun walk. A mixed bag weatherwise, but it was great to get out.
Marchlyn Loop

This is a great half day walk, taking in Carnedd Y Filiast (821m), Mynydd Perfedd (812m), Elidir Fawr (924m) and Elidir Fach (787m). It is not too difficult, and there is minimal scrambling, but best done in good visibility.
Aonach Eagach ridge

My first grade 2 scramble, an epic day on one of Scotland's finest ridges. Great weather, great company and wow...those views! Check out Koos' video, his channel is 'Clogs on the Mountain'.
Ben Nevis via the CMD arete
Просмотров 392Год назад
Day 2 of my Scottish adventure. A long day and a monster scramble up Carn Mor Dearg (1220m/4000ft), and then along the arete to Ben Nevis (1345m/4411ft). Fantastic views at the summit. This is the link for koos video, which shows more of the arête. ruclips.net/video/sR1vs9m5aUw/видео.html
Mulloch An Rathain
Просмотров 208Год назад
This was a failed attempt to traverse the Liathach ridge in torridon, but we still reached the summit of a munro (Mulloch An Rathain 1023m/3359ft). This is the first of a 3 day scramble in the Scottish highlands.

Gordale Scar, Janet's Foss & Malham Cove
Well done mate, Cumbria way in the bag! Mint sauce gave me a laugh but was on the edge of my chair with the carnivorous cows 😂 Turned out a nice day though by the looks 👌
Cheers mate, i thought the cows were going to ambush me! I might take a bbq and mint sauce next time! 😂👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer good call 😂😂😂
That looked really tough ! Not a day you'll forget
Very true, but it all adds to the experience 👍
You tube in their infinite wisdom de-subscribed me from your chanel. I wasn’t aware of this so naturally assumed you had fallen arse over tit down some Welsh mountain or other. I have spent the last year or so searching for your remains, to no avail. I thought I’d found your foot the other day along with your climbing boot but it turns out it belonged to someone else called Sandy I believe. Glad to see you’re still alive and kicking, now having watched this video I will have to search for the rest of them to bring me up to date.
😂😂 I've not fallen yet.. but not sure how! I've had plantar facialitus, so not been out too much. So it won't take you long to catch up! Your comment gave a good laugh, though 😀 cheers 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis a couple of years ago, ended up buying a pair of Skechers with Arch Fit support. They’re not cheap, about £85 but they did the job, worked for me 👟👟
Well done bud .. a great LDW and a great series of videos
Cheers Graham, it was great to get out. 👍
Well done…. You put a good shift in there 👍
Thanks mate, 👍
what a boring path
It was for the most part, but i wanted to do the complete walk, so had to be done. 👍
Well done Spence
Thanks 👍
Great vid again, Langdale Valley looks stunning
Yeah, im going back next year to do the peaks. 👍
Respect mate, battling on in that weather on your own, especially having not done alot of walking after your foot issue💪
Cheers mate, i was a bit worried about doing no training, but it was fine. But that that stretch from the old mine workings to Lingy hut was a real test. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer hope you can keep it up, i know how much you enjoy being out walking👍
@warrenhill4601 so do i. I'm planning on a few days around the Langdale pikes next year. Maybe stay at Old dungeon Gill, and explore the peaks. 👍
Great video, looking forward to watching the rest of the walk.
Thanks Rod 👍
Bit of a wet one mate at least the camouflage jacket came out. Still some stunning scenery
The jacket brightened the day up! 😂👍
A tough day
Definitely 👍
what a nightmare well done
Thanks, that was one hard day! 👍
That didn't look much fun pal.
A tough day, alright 👍
Bore da

Some fantastic scenery mate 👌 Great treat with bnb at the end. The ultimate reward for a great adventure
Yeah, this was my favourite day for views. 👍
Looks a great walk pal
It certainly was, stun̈ing scenery around the Langdales. 👍
Great stuff .. nice B+B at the end
Thanks Graham 👍
Some cracking views on day 2
They get even better on day 3! 👍
Some great scenery mate! Great to have the bulls making a reappearance on this video, think they left you to it because you weren't wearing your camouflage jacket 😂
😂 camouflage jacket only needed on day 4 mate.. well needed.. 😂
I had to do a double take when I saw you pop up on my feed….good for you mate….just going to watch your second part now 👌🏻
Hi mate, im uploading them Sunday, Wednesday to save dragging it out too long! 😂👍
Out on another adventure .. hope you made it .. i dislike walking thru farmland too
Cheers Graham, it definitely gets better. 👍
Fantastic to be out and about in the great outdoors. Plenty of fresh air on that one!
Plenty of fresh air..and cow pats! 😀👍
No plan worked well 😂 Being stalked by bulls and going hungry 😂 Got the feeling it's going to be an interesting development this series 🙌
Yeah, big mistake leaving ulverston without finding anywhere to get some food. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer lessons learnt mate 👍 need energy to run from bulls if you need to 😂
I'm too old to run! 😀
Ma main man. The one and only Spencer!. Much love ma friend.
👍
"The plan is, there is no plan" Love it!
👍
I went up crib goch 30 years ago when I was a free solo climber of not great quality ( v1 max ) and had no fear. I did it again yesterday at 66 and life is more precious and fear more real and less balance and flexibility (knees especially) so I went left and traversed. I didn’t feel a wimp I felt sensible and comfortable and protected and confidence grew. Don’t ever watch others and think they set an example. It is your life and it is precious. So protect it. If you want to dance along the ridge and catch a toe or lose your balance you are dead. Brown bread. Bravado kaput. Be safe and live to tell how scary it was. Be proud of fear. It kept you alive.
Very true insight 👍
Looks great!
It was...the next time I did it! 😄👍
What time of year was this Spencer? I’ve recently done this hike but the conditions were terrible
Hi mate, I think it was November. Weather has been so unpredictable this year, let's hope wr have a decent winter. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer thanks mate, I’ve not done any winter hikes yet only got into it this year but luckily I had the gear for the wind and rain, couldn’t see 10 meters in front of me at the summit! Forecasts look good for tomorrow so hoping to get out somewhere before sunrise
@@Rhino11111111 yeah, cracking forecast for tomorrow. Should be great early doors before it gets too hot. 🌞🌞
2 years ago next month since we met you on the summit of Crimpiau….good to see you got your boots back on 👍
Wow, is it really? Hopefully I can get out more this Autumn and winter. It's been mad busy this summer with work. 👍
Pen y Gwryd. Not gwyrd.
Its very dangerous if you fall 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Y E S
True that, not dangerous at all if you don't fall! 😂
Good to see you out Spencer
Thanks Alun, it was great to be back out. 👍
Hi Spencer, that's certainly a testing walk after 6 months off! If I'm getting back into it after injury I tend to walk Crimpiau from Bryn Glo in Capel Curig, not as intense but spectacular views. Hope to see you out again soon. Atb Mark.
Hi Mark, yeah, I should have done something a bit easier, but was keen to get back up there. I've done Crimpiau from Jo Brown's, but not Bryn Glo. Sounds interesting.. cheers 👍
Brill mate. Great to see you enjoying being back in the Oggy. Was up there Tuesday Elidir Fawr and Foel goch loop but had miss out Glyder fawr and down Y Gribin due to rain and 50mph winds. Ended up going down devils kitchen.
Cheers Warren, did you go up or down the horrible path from Foel Goch to the Elidir Fawr path?! A bit steep 😀 it was great to get finally 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer up the nasty zigzag towards y garn then across to eldir fawr, back towards mynydd pernedd, up foel goch and upto y garn, down towards base of scramble to glyder fawr. Too wind so down devils kitchen. Was going across glyders and back to go down y gribin. Weather and time against me as needed to be in kinmel bay to meet family
Great route anyway 👍
Good to see another video m8. Let's get u to 1K subscribers this year m8!. Hope ure well.
Cheers, it would be nice to get to 1000 subscribers, but I don’t do it for that. I’m not even sure why people enjoy them! 😀 It was great to get back out though. 👍
@OutandaboutwithSpencer Your welcome m8. I know you don't. The more subscribers you get the more people will gain the benefit of your content. Great personality, and I can tell a genuine one at that.
@ThePaulaon1 thank you, much appreciated 👍
Great to see you back out again mate 👍 Great route too 👍
Cheers mate, not quite as exciting as hanging off a cliff by your fingertips, but definitely safer… 😂 My foot was fine after this one, so hopefully I can get out more now. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencergreat stuff mate 👍
Nice one Spencer, great to have you back 🥾🥾
Thanks Barry 👍
Great Video! Good to see you back out in the mountains!
Cheers mate 👍
Beautiful nature my friend
Absolutely 👍
Hi spencer glad your back
Thanks Dave, it was great to be out. 👍
This is no place for novice walkers even in dry summer
True
I lived every step of that walk down the miners.. never ending - I was on Glyder Fach in March and couldnt not see 2 ft in front of me... never got to see Castell y Gwynt which was what I went to see. I thought you was following the Cambrian Way originally but then you veered off right and looking at the os I was thinking I don't know that route... with good reason - that was a straight up nightmare... well done you for getting up there. atb Alan
Thanks, I'll never forget that climb up the gully! Definitely not recommended 😂. And coming down the miners path, im sure the road gets further away every time you look at it! You live and learn though eh?! 😂👍
No probs. By the way, I'm doing the same walk but in reverse tomorrow. Good to chat Spencer. Keep on walking😊 Oh yeah, your pronunciation of the Welsh names was spot on unlike so many youtubers👌👍
Enjoy your walk, looks like a nice day for views. 👍
Great vid of a walk I've done many times. Plants you asked about are Bog Cotton. Best wishes 👍
Thanks, I love seeing the cotton grass, although, as you say, it's usually boggy where it grows. ATB, Spencer 👍
Great video we'll done felt I was there with you😂👍
Thanks, it's much easier the second time. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer goin across it next thurs👍
Been up Snowdon 3 times myself (via hiking), and over Grib Goch twice, It truly a great hike for anyone with the nerves, I had a huge adrenaline high the whole time, and I was laughing I was enjoying it so much.
I know what you mean about the adrenaline, I find being in the mountains clears the head, and makes you feel better about life. 👍
It is an epic walk. You took the slate trail track back down from the mine. Just above you along the side of Moelwyn Maw is the main circular walk path back down from the slate mine.
Thanks, I wasn't aware that was part of the slate trail. I'll have to do the full walk some day. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer No worries. I clambered up Cnicht yesterday. Enjoyed it enormously. Lots of interesting parts to the trek up and never a dull moment. Although, I did feel a bit silly when a fell runner ran past me in the hollow below the buttress just before the scrambly bit🤭
😂 I'm quite deaf, and I've nearly jumped out of my skin a few times when a fell runner shoots past me! 😂👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer 😆
Good to see you back, Spencer
Thanks 👍
I've had plantar, not nice, is it mate. Awesome to see you back out. Always enjoy watching your videos on here, pal. Look forward to many more 😃👍
Hi mate, yeah, it's not nice. Nice to see your adventures on FB, you both look happy. 👍
