This is lovely. Thanks for making it. Like Killian Jornets ridge running videos, but for actual normal people. Seriously though, I really like your vibe. Lovely stuff.
Loved it John. Love this area - was up St Sunday this week. Right, you’ve inspired me.. never properly fell ran before - I’m always hiking and wild camping. But I did lightly jog around crinkle crags, Bowfell and down the band back to Langdale, so I know I can do it very gently (going up may be a different story!). The first question I would ask would be about footwear, but if you recommend your Scott’s I’ll have a mooch at them. Cheers mate, Simon.
@@lakelandtrailrunner 100% will! I’ve got poles for hiking, but I’m assuming I’d need lightweight ones for running. Slipping or rolling my ankle is my main concern. Cheers mate
A good route. Very quiet. Normally packed on that summit route. Striding is do’able without spikes but I would avoid Swirral without proper gear when icy. Grisdale valley is so picturesque and strangely calming. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid.. after years of walking in the Lakes, I finally managed ‘run’ the loop from Swirls car park, over top, and back down via Grisdale tarn.. was a few weeks before Christmas when the clear weather was about.. but of course it was frozen over, and in cloud.. I had my Saucony ST shoes on, and still needed the spikes. Great experience! Can’t wait to do it again.. hopefully with a view.. one day I’d like to do the Striding and Swirral loop.. haven’t done those routes at all yet.. looks interesting in the snow.. think I’ll wait for summer 😂
Ahhh the days when the weather was clear.. I’m waiting for a clear (ish) day so I can do another vid! 🤞🏻 Thursday! The edges are a classic loop it’s one of my favourite runs. Glad you like the vid mate, hopefully I’ll have another out by the end of the week.. weather dependent 🙏🏻
Nice Ran today on the moors above osmotherley and then dipped in the North Sea near Redcar. It was fresh!! And made friends with a seal. Makes you feel alive to be in the cold
Good video thanks John 👍🏼🙂

Get some poles mate they’ll help massively on the up hills. I’m dropping a gear review of what I carry on the fells later tonight, check it out 🙂🤘🏻
