    What a great walk such a beautiful part of the Lake District. Deena a lovely lady ,got the impression Madeira wasn't your type of place. You like your own space and solitude and the Lake District is when you really come to life.Your a lucky guy with a job that means you are in one of the most beautiful areas in the world and love doing it.A rare thing for anyone.

    Bittersweet memories for me as the last time l stayed in Elterwater was with my 90 year old dad. He managed the track along Elterwater on his mobility scooter and also Tarn Howes. So glad he had that experience before he dies he loved the Lakes.

    This has been an excellent series, really interesting to see lots of other tucked away places around Cumbria and the lakes that a lot of us may not know about. You're not 'broken' just because you find relationships difficult, we're all different and have different needs, being in a relationship is not always the right thing for every single person. I'm exactly the same in that respect and many other people are as well. Most important thing is to enjoy your life and what you're doing as much as possible, which it looks like you definitely are doing.

    42:00 ish - I know exactly what you mean. I've two failed marriages and my last relationship was extremely traumatic. For a long while I was really devastated at the thought of being alone for the rest of my life but now I've come to terms with the fact and I'm actually OK with it. I've had my chances, screwed them up and now it just wouldn't be fair to repeat those mistakes again.
    I've loved watching this series, by the way. Great scenery and great company. Thank you for making and posting these videos. All the very best to you.

    Loving this series and am conscious of the effort you put in to providing us with beautiful videos. Got a lot of respect for your openness and honesty. Being a reflective person is hard and takes courage. I guess we are all broken in some way, I certainly was until I learned to accept and have compassion for myself. Its taken a while but a big part of finding contentment in my life was finding your youtube tube channel and rekindling my forgotten love of the Lake District, a place that brings an enriching soletude ☺️💪👊

We are looking forward to the last video, hoping you were doing just fine and not hurting on the last leg of your journey! As for the gates, please keep them in, it helps those who may want to walk that way one day knowing what is coming up! Boy, do we appreciate all your talking, it is like we are there with you enjoying a nice walk and a chat! Hoping to see Fenn soon, but you made the right decision keeping her home. She would have been miserable. It seems you are happy as you are young man, and that is what is important! Be blessed as you continue your adventures…Barb and Mike across the pond in North Idaho

    You should definitely consider a trip to New Zealand and Hobbiton amongst other Lord of The Rings locations. We managed it this summer from Dubai. Yes the weather was to the extreme as to getting snow days but wow the scenery was amazing everywhere we went. Whilst at Hobbiton and the surrounding countryside of MataMata it definitely reminded me of the Lake District. It would certainly take some planning and funds but I would love to see some vlogs of yours from there. I'm back in Dubai and have just watched all your Cumbria way vlogs. I quite fancy it myself especially making use of hotels and comfy beds every evening. Anyways thanks for the vlogs as always. Stuart.

    Hi Glenn. Another good video, matey. 👌I love the Langdale valley, and I am also rather fond of Coniston, too. It has a different feel to it and its own personality. In total empathy with you in regard to relationships, as I too am alone, but not lonely. I'm not one needing or requiring a relationship as I've been on my own for over 25 years, and I love it. I suspect there are many solitary walkers (men and women) who carry the same sympathies. It's okay. Looking forward to watching the penultimate walk next Sunday.
    Looking forward to my stay at Rydal Hall Campsite 2nd week of September to try out my new Lumix S5 camera. Most the walking I'll do will be low-level this trip, as I'm going to be scouting out some scenes for when I take my tripod with me next time next Spring.

    Hello, I think you should include in your playlist categories "Hikes I took with Finn". I watch this channel primarily to see Finn. I'm currently facing some major challenges and every single thing about that dogs spirit makes me believe I can do anything. Sometimes you say that "She's cute but not very smart." I really don't like that. She's got six inch little legs, no shoes like you and she still leads the way with infectious enthusiasm. Try to only say kind things about good friends in this life. Thank you for this wonderful channel.

You do your channel as you gotta do it. I'm sure you are on to something as you have 53K+ subscribers! Never mind about talking, not talking, gates and feet. (Really???? GATES??? I love the gates as much as I love the summits and rest of the scenery! FEET??? They know these are hiking videos, right???) That being said, please wear all hot pink so I can more easily distinguish you between the rest of the scenery. AND, while I'm at it....maybe Fin should wear (more like drag) a cow bell so we always know where she is off screen. Thank you.😁
