Four Wainwrights and an Epic Cloud Inversion | Great End and Glaramara

- In this weeks video, Kay and I headed to the Lake District for a wild camp and to tackle a Wainwright Circuit in the Lake District. Who doesn't love bagging some Wainwrights when in the Lake District?
Due to an accident on the motorway the night before it took almost 4hrs to get to the Lakes so didn't have time to head to Seathwaite Fell where I had a pitch in mind for a Wild Camp - actually the same pitch where I stayed on my Mountain Leader course. Instead, we hiked for about 45 minutes and found a wild camping pitch in the Terra Nova Northern Light 2 before getting up early and driving to Seathwaite.
This circuit I planned for 5 Wainwrights however on the day we hit various summits and ended up leaving Glaramara before the 5th Wainwright to head back to Manchester to see my daughter. Ironically...we were so late and stuck in traffic heading back so had to see my daughter the following day so stopped in Keswick for food and a pint.
This circuit is just under 17km in length with around 1,200m of elevation and is a great route for some awesome views around the Lakes. Where do you think the best views is in the Lake District? This is certainly up there.
You could easily vary this and head to Scafell Pike after Great End although we wanted to keep to the circular route I'd planned and hit Glaramara - I just love saying that name! As always, link to the route is in the links section below.
I hope you enjoy the video, it's a long one but this it shows what it's like on the route and always enjoy taking Kay and seeing her push herself when she struggles on steep ground. Awesome job!
Tune in next week as I head back to Snowdon with a live long friend Gaz who was over from Australia. I haven't seen him for 9 years and we used to climb Snowdon regularly many years ago training for when we climbed Kilimanjaro back in 2010. I led him and his 4 brothers to the summit and was an awesome day out.
Hope you enjoy the video,.

Aah thanks Doreen will do
Well Kris that was an awesome hike . Being above and below the clouds was really cool. I really enjoyed coming along.
Dwayne
Thanks for that Dwayne. Enjoyed this one and was great to reminisce after spending a few days around there a few months ago on my mountain leaders course.
Brilliant video!! Love the urine sample! Pmsl literally. Thanks guys❤
Haha. PMSL in the bottle? Hahaha. Thanks for your support
Enjoyed that 👍
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. I know it’s a long one this week.
With me, what's really stopping me from going mountain climbing, is when I think I'm going to fall, I panic. I get it when I'm dealing with spiral staircases. I've also tried to go up Arthur's Seat earlier this year. I could only go up so far (I didn't even make it to the ridge), and I had to come back down, as I could feel myself starting to panic. The weird thing is, I can go up Dunadd, in Argyll, no problem.
Aah really? It’s strange isn’t it how some get you and some don’t. I’ve been up Arthur’s Seat and I didn’t even really notice any tricky patches on that one.
I guess it’s just breaking yourself in bit by bit. I don’t like roller coasters that’s my thing. Yet I can stand on a ridge and massive drop and not be bothered. Saying that I’d hate something like a cable car. It’s mad isn’t it.
@@krisgleave Yeah, it is something that I really want to get over. I really want to get to the top of of mountains like Ben Lomond, Ben Nevis and the Cobbler. Dunadd isn't that high. It's just something of a scramble in places.
Enjoyed this one guys, looks like you both have a right good laugh as well…..my mrs would moan like anything doing 7 hour hikes 😂
Kris, would you ever do a video/review on the best footwear for the hikes, I see you wear adidas ones? That would be good as an extra little video 👍🏻
Cheers Andrew really appreciate the feedback. Haha yeah she loves hiking as long as I don’t make them too long. This was a 17km route and we did a wild camp the night before and it was great weather which helps….well later in the day it was.
Yeah I will do. Really could do with make some more videos other than the big hiking days as lots of people do ask. I always wear the same boots and swear by them but not for everyone. I’ll get a video sorted 🤙🏼
A great route I did very similar with a wild camp I could be wrong tho but I think the Wainwright isnt the 632 point but the cairn right at the northern tip at 601
I think you might be right. I’ve been to both summits before as did my ML course up there and literally was all around the top all day but it was good enough for this day haha.
I’d planned to wild camp on Seathwaite Fell but the traffic put an end to that so had to camp low the night before. Definitely get back there another time.
@@krisgleave it's a great spot to camp just far enough away from the idiots at sprinkling tarn with better views
@@craig3401 Yeah exactly! On the ML course we camped in a great location between the Styhead Tarn and Sprinkling Tarn so I’ll have to head back there another time
