    Did this route yesterday (glorious weather after a disgusting few days) and it is as amazing as it looks - in fact even more so! That first glimpse of Eskdale from the top of Walna Scar Road is incredible. After that the whole Dow Crag ridge is great fun.
    We descended via Goat’s Water rather than continuing to the Old Man as we had a long drive ahead of us, but it was still one of our favourite walks. Love this part of the Lakes, it’s so interesting and different!
    Thanks for the inspo as ever ❤

  • @beardedwarrior7023
    @beardedwarrior7023 3 года назад +1

    Well that's got to be one of the best 47 minutes I've spent sat on the toilet.
    Another fine example of the beauty of the Lake District combined with the dulcet tones of narration as wonderful as the mountains themselves. The intro could easily be a video in its own right, some absolute stunning drone footage.
    That said, it still really pisses me off the fact you have some shots with the drone flying backwards. I've told you before and I'm telling you again, it's not right! It completely detracts from the idea of a continuous progression. Time doesn't stand still, nor does it move backwards... I think I'd better stop, I feel a tangent coming on; and it's not moving backwards... No Mark! Stop it! Restrain oneself... Glenn, awesome video 👍🏻

      On a slightly more sombre note, I went past some Herdwicks today and couldn't help thinking of how you ended the video, all despondent, with a simple "Hey, herdy..." It brought a tear to my eye, then I realised it was just a raindrop come through the window 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Hi Glenn.
    Recently came across your channel. Got to say that the footage is spectacular. Gives me a sense of "being there" and some of it reminds me of Wainwright's black and white images but brought to life.
    Looking forward to going through your library.

    Great video. I pretty much did the same route yesterday, but added in Brim fell as an extra peak. The strange part was only seeing one person from leaving the car park, to getting to the top of the Old man. After that it was extremely crowded on the descent past Low water on the return to the car park.

    If you ever want to film the inside of a pub after finishing a walk, I would not not complain. I love a good English pub. Maybe you have already - I don't know. Catching up on your videos from oldest to newest.

    How do you film yourself whilst walking? Is it some kind of wizardry

    That drone footage is amazing. Which drone do you have?

    Great work as always Glenn. What about doing a video on how you develop a typical photo, a lightroom tutorial or whatever you are using? 👍🏻

      Thanks mate 😊 I'll have a think about that 👍

    Your vlogs are just getting better and better - the drone footage is stunning and your self-deprecating commentary is very amusing. We went up Coniston OM a few years ago via the same route and the top was covered in cloud - I've only just realised how steep a drop there is from the top - hadn't seen that before! Thank-you very much.

    Would it be feasible to start at Birks bridge or Cockley Beck and go up Harter fell then back down to hardknott pass past the fort and up the route to slight side and Scafell? All in one hike and back?

      It is feasible but a very big walk!

    Looks epic, at what point would you recommend crampons/ spkies? Looking to do some winter hikes! Thanks

      Thanks very much 😊 If there's snow on the hills just stick some spikes in your bag, they take up almost no room. Put them on when you find yourself slipping and walking gets a bit tricky. If you're doing steeper stuff like proper scrambling (not Striding Edge) then wear crampons. But if you're just walking a path like in this video micro spikes are more than adequate 👌
