THE HIDDEN RIDGE - Hohneck Ridge Scramble - Vosges Mountains - France
After a week of mostly Via Ferrata we stopped off in the Vosges mountains.
The Hohneck is a high point with great views all the way to Mont Blanc amongst others. The ridge isnt easy to see until your there. But its there!
Not the most interesting film I've done, but it shows the interesting terrain on this fun ridge.
Thanks for the views. Any comments and chat always lovely to hear.
See you on the hill.

HARTER FELL - Lake District - wild camp. WHAT A SKY!

WHAT A SKY - We happened to pick a two day #Wildcamp window of perfect weather at the end of the worst summer I can remember. After our previous visit to Seathwaite Tarn, we decided to go back to the #Duddon Valley . #Harter fell is a gem. A nice approach , some of the best views from a tent I've had, and an awesome few pitches. Had a brain fart and left my cables at home. Resulting in a lack o...

First warm up day planned. It was way more than a warm up. We had a week to do some mountain adventures. This was our first day. It was way longer than we thought! An awesome mixed scramble on a limestone ridge. We used the rope a little. Mostly moving together. Not often needed. But on the whole a pleasant scramble. #frenchalps #scramble #mountains Thanks for watching. John Disclaimer. As usua...

SEATHWAITE TARN ( Duddon Valley ) Lake District - Wild Camp
Просмотров 1642 месяца назад
So much rain. A nice trip where in response to the forecast, we chose an easier camp. This time near a tarn. The Lake District has so many special places, so many beautiful valleys. Here we are tracking up to Seathwaite Tarn from the Duddon Valley, definitely one of those special places. After an afternoon of sideways H2O, we had a beautiful sunset, then a glorious morning. Thanks for watching....

What a sky! Thanks for the comments guys!
Loved that one John. Must be something about Harter Fell and skies - we had a stunning “mackerel sky” last time we were up there.
@@TonysTrails Yes Tony. It was Great. ..👍
Great video! Love Harter Fell for those big open views. Camped next to the tarn but next time could be tempted by higher up after watching this. Enjoying watching your channel, thanks for sharing. All the best.
@@the_north_is_ace1523 much appreciated 👍. Yes. The tarn was beautiful. But when no real breeze the higher platforms seemed ace! .... 👌
Im sure this was the same night i was on Ill Crag john the monday night exact same conditions..you wouldnt have seen me as id have been over brow on the edge but yeah it was a stunning night & morning a true pleasure to be in such wonderful places when its like that..had a chuckle at the outake at the end 😆 take care john atb..

Very useful, looking at shorter routes than the full traverse from a sea kayak. Thanks for posting.
Another top notch scramble dude, fantastic views 👍
@@PeeWee599 much appreciated. Not many mountain areas seem bad views...win win 👍😁
Wow. nerves of steel Yet beautiful Does Lime rock get slippy when wet? Or is that chalk, cant remember Amazing feat you, and Hamish achieved, despite your not quite 100% physical fitness that day Combination of heat and air "quality"? Amazing to warch Thank you for filming it, and sharing 🩵☀️🇬🇧 Ps well deserved beer
@@angelakenyon7490 lovely comment 👌. Yes it's great rock. Little like pummice. Great grip. Air quality great..... little stuffy as it was almost gonna do a storm. Very warm....and yup. Not fit enough. But we had a blast......thanks for watching and joining our adventures 🤗
What a strange ridge, I was quite surprised at all the vegetation right up to the top. I hope you enjoyed your bier😀
@@fredscratchet1355 yes, the trees came pretty high on the right clinging to very steep slopes and ledges. The left was mostly very sheer.....was a very different day out for sure...comments appreciated 👍 thanks

Nicely filmed John, I’ve seen from a far this tarn many times when I’ve been in the Coniston fells looks a cracking spot, not really a tarn fan but could be a possible winter camp. 🤔 atb Karl
@@TheSummitexplorer69 thanks 👌. Yup I'm the same, way prefer the hill. Up above was pretty good though. ....thanks
Nice video John enjoyed watching. Looked a nice peaceful camp. 🏕️

Attention all via ferrata fans in France! We would like to clarify a confusion that has persisted for too long: the via ferrata that many of you know as the "devil's via ferrata" in Haute Maurienne is actually located in the municipalities of Avrieux and Aussois. Indeed, this magnificent via ferrata is 64% in the municipality of Avrieux and 36% in Aussois. Unfortunately, an error (intentional or unintentional) on Apidae located it in Aussois, which is totally inaccurate. We therefore invite you, during your next visits to our beautiful Maurienne valley, to clearly indicate that it is the devil's via ferrata of Avrieux-Aussois or vice versa. It is essential to understand that the territory of the sites plays a crucial role for the municipalities concerned. Aussois and Avrieux are constantly investing to improve and maintain their infrastructure and tourist sites. These efforts are directly linked to the recognition and visibility of the sites on their territory. The fact that Avrieux is often forgotten, while Aussois is systematically cited, poses a real visibility problem for our municipality. Avrieux also deserves to be recognized for its contribution and investments. 🙏 Thank you all for your collaboration! #ViaFerrata #HauteMaurienne #Avrieux #Aussois #Mountain #SportAdventure #Nature 🌄🧗♂️
Nous tenons à clarifier une confusion qui a persisté trop longtemps : la via ferrata que beaucoup d'entre vous connaissent sous le nom de "via ferrata du diable" en Haute Maurienne est situé en réalité sur les communes d'Avrieux et Aussois.

Malheureusement, une erreur (volontaire ou involontaire) sur Apidae l'a localisée sur Aussois, ce qui est totalement inexact. Nous vous invitons donc, lors de vos prochaines visites dans notre belle vallée de la Maurienne, à bien indiquer qu'il s'agit de la via ferrata du diable d'Avrieux-Aussois ou l'inverse. il est essentiel de comprendre que le territoire d'appartenance des sites joue un rôle crucial pour les communes concernées. Aussois et Avrieux investissent constamment pour améliorer et entretenir leurs infrastructures et sites touristiques. Ces efforts sont directement liés à la reconnaissance et à la visibilité des sites sur leur territoire. Le fait qu'Avrieux soit souvent oublié, tandis qu'Aussois est systématiquement cité, pose un réel problème de visibilité pour notre commune. Avrieux mérite également d'être reconnu pour sa contribution et ses investissements. 🙏 Merci à tous pour votre collaboration ! #ViaFerrata #HauteMaurienne #Avrieux #Aussois #Montagne #SportAventure #Nature 🌄🧗♂
