- Blimey this is my 5th trip this year and the 3rd one with Mark.
A bit of a holiday this one as the Lake District has plenty to offer.
To make the best use of time we caught the train at Dalston instead of walking the last bit into Carlisle to return to Ulverston in the afternoon where Mark had parked his truck. we stayed there the night to return home the next day.
thank you so much for taking the time to watch.

Ah Dave, you never disappoint Sir... Just brilliant and you captured the essence of camping under the night sky perfectly... Thank you. 👍
Cheers Jim🍺
A pleasure to watch from start to finish. Well done and thank you Dave👍👍
Cheers Anthony, your neck of the woods. I half expected to see you coming towards me in Borrowdale👍
Wow! What an amazing journey! Fantastic videography, atmospheric music and humour to go with it. Well done!
Cheers Jimmy, a generous comment , glad you enjoyed it.

Another great trip Dave. Looks like you got lucky with the weather ! I agree about walking through valleys. You get a very different perspective. Makes you focus on things closer to hand rather than looking out over long distances. Langstrath beck is a bit of a gem. Have great memories taking the kids swimming there when they were younger. Thank you. Keep taking us on the journey's.
Cheers Andrew, thanks for taking the time. Ahh family holidays, great times to look back on and I really enjoyed the mini adventures I had with my daughter. You phrased that well about walking in the valleys 👍. I noticed a good spell of weather so thought I’d get one in before winter, Mark got a shock the day before when I phoned him at 8am and said see you tomorrow in the Lake District. He was still between contracts then so was available.
Cheers anyway and Tek care 🍺
I've seen a few cumbria way vids, but I reckon this is right up there... really enjoyed it - you captured the walk beautifully! Cheers Dave. ATB, Terry.
Thank you Terry, I can’t believe we managed it really definitely a highlight of my walking life. How about you Terry have you done this one?
TFW
Cheers
Bloody hell🤣I thought you were commenting on the Cambrian Way video I keep getting them mixed up 🤪🤣
Never mind still a great route🙏❤️
@@DaveGoodman1959 I've not done either of those, but I'd love to give the Cumbrian way a go. I'm not familiar with the Cambrian one... I've not watched your vid on that yet. I might stick out on now actually.
Good one Dave, out on another long distance walk. I like the way you are telling the story of the adventure with the editng and the visuals! 👍🍺🍺
Thanks Snowy I appreciate that. I was pestering Helen saying is the story of our journey coming over alright. 👍🍺🏕️
Awesome trek Dave - wow 16.45 has got to be one of the best paths in the country. Soaking wet I see but it seemed to dry up. There were some lovely touches on this one the Climbers Bar being one and nice riverside pitches. Gotta say I prefer the stars to Blackpool tower lasers - that light pollution. Yeah, I like the valleys also - they kind of hold you and I like looking up in awe. Plenty of that here. Good going - brilliant trip. Mark
Thank you Mark,it was a very unplanned and decided the day before trip. Getting a last one in before winter. Yes that winding path down into Langstrath was something else, a great piece of engineering.
Kind regards Mark.
🏕️
@@DaveGoodman1959 A pleasure Dave. A good unexpected one eh? For sure that path is a stopper. Peace.
Such a fantastic area for an adventure! Just so great in so many ways! All the better sharing the experience with a like minded partner! Wonderful!! Bruce and Otis
Thanks again you two. ATB and I imagine winter is well on the way over there. 🙏💯
@@DaveGoodman1959 First snowfall today...about 2-3 cm. Otis was in his element!! lol
Great Video! got this one booked in two weeks time.
You got me on the opening scene saying farewell to Helen ❤ really enjoying this, looked forward to seeing your trip, aren’t we lucky? Beautiful editing, music and scenery, content, thank you for showing us such a delight 😊 All the best Dave, Sarah.
Thank you Sarah💯
Well you’ve definitely sold the walk to me Dave. Last summer it was a toss up between the Dales Way or the Cumbria Way. My mate and I opted for the Dales Way (and loved it), but the Cumbria Way looks wonderful. I love your gentle style of capturing these trails and actually really appreciate that you aren’t trying to get to the end in a hurry. Well done to you both and look after yourselves.
Thank you Jon and glad you found the video enjoyable and useful. I have not tried the Dales Way but am very familiar with the Dales and I did enjoy the Dales Highway which was the last route I did with my Dad so I’m really pleased my Son in law is keen now, we make a good team.
ATB Jon
Thanks🏕️
@@DaveGoodman1959 you definitely do make a good team. I watched your Dales High Way videos taken with your Dad. They were a great watch and your Dad was a tough cookie; if I’m walking trails at a similar age I’ll feel very lucky. Based on your film and having a couple of others I reckon I’d really enjoy the Dales High Way. If you enjoy walking along beautiful valley bottoms you’d definitely enjoy the Dales Way.
@@jonm4989 thanks Jon, well there no where more beautiful than Wharfdale.
Well done. Still living the dream and another wonderful trail walked and videoed wonderfully. Langstrathdale is used at the start of Countryfile when the camera flies over as the music starts. I've been aware of the Cumbria Way for a number of years. This has awakened my desire to walk it one day.
ONE DAY 🤪🙈🫣I know your a tall fit man with a long stride and you should do it before you get any older🤞
Thanks so much for watching Dave❤️
I suppose if you video it just time lapse the whole route😆
ATB 🍺
I shall call you Strider from lord of the rings now. 👍
😂
Love the Cumbria Way its a great few days
Yes it is such a beautiful place and we were lucky not very busy on the footpaths.
Cheers Phil.
Wonderful Video Dave...Lovely to see Helen at the start of the video....wish i could get out to do something like this...i have subscribed to around 260 You tube channels and i can honestly say your videos are up there with the best...the elite...always a full watch from me...The highlight must have been the views as you dropped down into Langstrath...nice to see you in the Dog and gun...i am vegetarian so never tried it but i understand the Hungarian goulash in there is legendry...I spent a night in the Linghy hut, many many years ago...i just remember the door blowing open every 10 minutes...All in all a cracking walk..what's next?
Cheers Steve, you know I thought of you on the route as I looked up to the fells and how well you must know them.
My bloody back is aching bad at the moment but got plenty in mind for next year all being well.
Mark is vegan and they do a vege ghoolash. I was vegetarian for 10 years.
Cheers Steve. 🍺💯
Oh yes coming down into Langstrath was definitely the highlight.
Another epic video Dave, it was brilliant to see the landscape and scenery which you journeyed through. Your narration to camera and how you explained where you were up to on your trip was most welcome and interesting.
It looks like you and Mark had a great time mate, it was a pleasure to watch.
Once again this video demonstrates why you're one of my favourite RUclipsrs, and may I add, one of the nicest blokes that I know.👍
Cheers Steve and again thanks for taking the time to watch and interest in our little caper’s , I’m pleased you found it a fair watch. 🍺🍺🍺
Loved watching along! One day…☺️ 🥾
@@anna__bella_k thank you Anna, it’s a nice easy hike you can do it. 👍🙏😊
Beautiful video, Cant really describe it any other way. And you always Inspire me to get out wild camping...
Thank you Mark, that’s lovely mate👍
🌟😍 Loved the scenic journey through Cumbria Way! The starry night was magical. Can't wait for more adventures! 🏞🌌
Thanks Highland hiker, that’s much appreciated 👍
Your wife Helen looked so happy you are leaving😁
That was ...beautiful Dave! Loved it, every shot was stunning with a brilliant choice of music too! I usually struggle to like the English countryside in some videos as really miss the drama in it we have up here in Scotland. But this Cumbria was absolutely five star fantastic and as you said it looks like Scotland in places. Guess you chose the Autumn to go there as it's less busy than summer.. Stunning colors on the way, sounds of nature, night sky, all perfect. I know there had to be a huge amount of work for you to film and edit. THank you. PS. Loved all those pubs, especially the climbing one.
Hi Jonas, the English Lake District is very beautiful no doubt about it but so many people everywhere. Never go on a weekend or holiday periods for sure.
Me and Helen both have Covid and pretty poorly at the moment. On the mend now though.
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🏕️
You both will get out of it! Hope you better soon. Same to you Dave - Merry Christmas
Really enjoyed that Dave. Yes it is all about the journey hey.
I’m camping up on Alphin Pike right now watching this and it’s brought great memories of when I did the Cumbria Way in August this year. Take care fella 🖖🙏🙌🍺
Thanks for watching and while camping too🏕️you certainly get about.
Take care Wayne and enjoy your evening 🍺
@@DaveGoodman1959 cheers Dave 🖖
Mrs a right giggler 🤣😂🤣 Great video Dave, still watching it this morning! Beautiful scene when both of you were walking between two tree with the mountains in the background. Gotta get me a rainbow shot. Stunning m8
Cheers Dave, ahh the Cumbria Way, a belter. Lots of great shots in there. The time lapse and long footage at Derwent Water was my favourite bit. You’d never catch me drinking on camera mind! 😅 🍺
Well thanks for watching Justin especially as you have done this route. I only decided on this the day before didn’t finish filming off how I would have liked as all lunch time towards Dustin we were quietly mulling over the best plan to get back to Ulverston something I didn’t need to do as returning on my own but eventually settled on sticking together and catching an afternoon train and the night back at the start.
Anyway cheers Justin 🍺👍
Yes, I know what you mean about the ending Dave, but don’t worry about it. As you know, the only people who watch to the end of our videos are those who are really interested in your personal story, however it ends. You two stuck together on this one, had beer and fish ‘n’ chips and that’s as good a finish as any. 👌 I find the subject of the last day of a long hike quite interesting. We invest a lot in it for different reasons. It’s the finale, a crescendo, celebration, closure, achievement, a video, but the reality can sometimes fail to meet all those expectations and it can feel a little anticlimactic. I spoke about this on my final day of the Great Glen Way when we can get drawn into rushing it, even from the day before, thinking of travel connections, the time, where we have to be tomorrow, who wants something from us, and so on. It can spoil the experience. Slow down, take it all in, I tell myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, that’s life. I find staying a night at the finish place works well, and gives me the best chance to avoid all the rushing, savour the last few drops and have an evening to fulfil those expectations I place on myself. Oh, and Guinness…. 😉
@@JustinWhiting9 blimey your a thinker Justin, I had to sit down to read that😊. Wise words indeed and I’m in full agreement so thanks for expressing it so well. Time for a Guinness yet🤣.
Hey I’m on holiday with Helen next week in the Peak District, plenty of good beer up there. 🍺
Sorry Dave, I do waffle on! 😂 The yabbering of a lone hiker….
Fantastic trip for you Dave. Lots going on. Best wishes for the adventures in 2024. Just subscribed.
Thanks you merry Christmas to you and a happy 2024
