Exploring Holme Fell - A First-time Adventure!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- A first ever climb up to Holme Fell on a bitterly cold Winters Day. Parking at the Glen Mary car park, I walk back to Yew Tree Tarn, walking through Harry Guard Woods before starting the climb on a steep, shaley path that leads you towards the summit. Progress was slow due to the path being covered with ice but the reward was stunning views over Coniston Water and the surrounding Fells.

1:00 That look's beautiful ....... 2:17 Well, the sun is there ...... 7:36 Just look at that blue ....... 10:05 BRAVO !!!!!! ..... 12:00 You've earned yourself a beer ..... or a few.
Only had one as I was driving but it was drank in front of a nice log fire, which was needed after braving that cold wind. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow Adventure place
It sure felt like an adventure and man that wind was cold but a very good days hiking. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

Wow!! Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for visiting, real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, cheers Alan
Great watch Alan. Looked absolutely freezing up there. Keep up the great videos 💪💪💪
That wind was baltic, despite the sun but it was still a great days hiking, well, cows apart that is lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video my friend 👍
Thanks for the visit John, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
Love this. So nice to see and do something for the frist time. Lovely day but looks so cold😊
It was funny, as it looked great with the sun out and all blue skies but the wind was baltic and there was so much icy on the paths. Still, a great days hiking, I really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It looks like an amazing place Alan! The views are absolutely amazing and the scenery as you walk and the beautiful colours look fantastic ❤ every season is beautiful in its own right.
Glad you enjoyed it and you are so right, I know I prefer the warm and dry weather but I am always grateful for everything I see at all times of the year. Really appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Beautiful views, Alan. That wind looked and sounded cold. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it and despite the sun that wind was baltic! Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Beautiful views. Nice day for a hike even though it looked COLD. Unusual to see a cow on the fell? Thanks for sharing another great video.
Thanks for watching Carroll and real unusual to see them up so high, they sure gave me a shock, especially the one who crept up behind me when I was having my lunch, cheers Alan
Haha... forgot!
Cows!!! 😂😂😂😂
Haha, yes, thank goodness they were the type who are mostly friendly :o)
It really looks a bit steep at places, however the whole region looks so soothing! Lovely place to hike Alan! 👏👏
It was but not for long, it was the ice on the path that worried me, especially as I had forgotten my micro spike again. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Oh icey! 😮 Good effort Alan and a lovely hike. 😊
Yes it was, that sun was out all day but you could not feel it and man was it cold, the wind was baltic but it was the ice I was worried about. Real good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for stopping by, good of you, cheers Alan
Gosh, those views were spectacular!
Yes, so nice to get a rain free and clear day for a change, really enjoyed that. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow, from that sunlit mossy forest to the top of that cold, windy hill - what a great hike! The views were gorgeous. That ice sure looked treacherous though. I would love to find a couple cute, friendly cows on a hike some time. What a surprise that they were all the way up there on top. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! and I was so pleased those cows were the cute friendly type, any of the others I would have been straight down like a shot, ice or not lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nice one Alan, as always lovely walk mate.
Glad to hear the Mrs is getting back to health.
All the best.
Many thanks, appreciate that and it was nice to get out for the first walk of the year (this was filmed just after Christmas). Nice sunny day but man was it cold lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awesome video pal as usual. I could sit and listen to you all day! Great to see you back. Cheers buddy. I’ll remember that walk for me and the Mrs.
Its a funny one, second smallest Wainwright but a few steep, shaley and scrambley sections but the views from the top were amazing. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Love Holme Fell, we did it after Hodge Close Quarry. Weather has been kind to us recently!
Fingers crossed that continues for you, I cannot wait for those long warm sunny days back again. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nice hike. Slow and steady wins the race. Stopping to check out the views and the boulders is a great way to catch your breath! Glad you did not have a run in with those giants in the area. LOL. Glad those cows were friendly. Looked dang cold especially with that wind! Well done braving the elements for those views. Awesome. Have a great day.
Yes the sun was out all day but you could not feel it, the wind on the other hand! To be honest, it was the icy on the paths I was worried about as I had left my micro spikes in the car but still ended up a real good day with some great views. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, another bright and sunny winters hike 😊 Sometimes the little ones can be a challenge. Good stuff 😎
You got that right, second smallest Wainwright but a few steep, shaley and scrambley sections so real pleased I never left this as my final Wainwright. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. The mountains looks magnificent. Good sunshine but it looks cold. Magnificent views . Thanks for taking us along
Glad you enjoyed it and you are right about it being cold, despite the sun being out. Still a real fun day to be over the lakes. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Another great walk out Alan albeit a bit frosty. Trust you to find a cow up there 🐄
I could not believe it when I saw it and then another one crept up behind me when was was having my lunch - give me a right bloody shock lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
The cows were coming to get you and you walked right up close to them. Crazy man. And of course those rocks were put there by Giants. That should be obvious. Lol.
Thankfully they were the quite type of cow that we get over here but still gave me a bit of a start when I was eating my lunch. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video Alan I have camped up there a few times amazing place 👍
It sure is and a great view from the top, despite it not being one of the bigger Fells. Real nice of you to watching and take the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
It's awesome that you've been finding new hikes lately that you've never done before. Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen cows that look like that before. I know which one is the friendly color now, lol 😆. I know the only time you like a cow is when it's on a plate with chips! 🤣😂
Yep and I think they know that too, which is why I am always weary around them lol. Always nice to get a new hike in, even if it a cold and icy day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan! What a lovely bright day, even though it was rather chilly! I liked the 'Giants throwing rocks' theory too! The views were stunning and the landscape looked so colorful with the patches of ice shining in the sun. Oh my, you certainly indulged over Christmas, Alan! Those looked like American-sized portions! 😲😂 Have a great week - and thanks for a brilliant video! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and I always like to enjoy myself over the Christmas period, its the 2 months afterwards when I am losing what I put on is not as much fun lol. A real cold day but with the clear skies and sun out still a fun day, I really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great views Alan! The sunshine looks inviting, but it did look like a bitter cold wind with plenty of ice in the shady spots to navigate around. The cows were adorable! 💕💕 They know where to find the best grass! 👌😄🐮 Great day of hiking! Cheers, Jen
Absolutely but I was surprised to see them so high up and real pleased they are the quiet type of cows, or I would have made a very quick descent. It was nice to see the sun, even nicer if I could have felt it, as that wind was baltic. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Cheers! @@AlanMETALMAN
Hi Alan. Again a beautiful gem. Yes, you are right the view is stunning from up there and cows are just nice and calm extras behind. About the drone...I also had support for the purchase of the drone from my Mrs.OSM, but she was the one who conditioned that the drone must be purchased and we have not regretted it. Of course, there are regulations related to drones that are not very simple, but if you really want to fly a drone...it's worth it. The worst thing is if you buy the drone and it sits on your shelf, then it's a waste of money. Have a nice week. Sretana and Zac. 🍻
Good advice and if I do get one it will be used, just need to get one first :o). A nice day out, bitterly cold, despite the fun and nice to see friendly cows for a change lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Greetings my great friend Alan METALMAN. I really admire your content that you share with us on your channel. It seems that the cold it is getting is strong. I saw some black ice on the rocks wow. Definitely excellent video interacting with true nature. My Respects my great friend Alan METALMAN 👍🤜🤛👍🏔⛰️🗻🏞⭐️⭐️⭐️♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️
Appreciate you stopping by, especially as you are busy on tour and a great day out hiking, a cold day, an icy day but a great day, cheers Alan
Was at Holme fell today ! Loved it. Also went up black fell, the views from there were amazing!!!
Oh nice on Barry, I had intended to go to Black Crag afterwards as well but that wind was baltic, as I had a hot coffee back in the car instead. I had done Black Crag before just after lock down finished and a real nice summit it is as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thoroughly enjoyed climbing it with you Alan.We will definitely put it on our hiking list when we are at the Crake valley in summer .Little fell but so sweet 🎉
Yes you got that right and the summer will be a perfect time as all the heather will be out on the Fell then too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Looks like an amazing day! Indeed, one really sees the effects of the glaciers all over Nova Scotia. Been thinking of a drone too...but haven't won the lottery either! lol The cold is truly worth it to enjoy those views for sure!! Another awesome one indeed! Have yourself a wonderful week!
Rea good of you to stop by and yes despite the sun, the wind was bitter, leaving so much ice on the paths. Still such a good day out and amazing views, which I always appreciate, cheers Alan
Awesome video Alan. Love the views. And lo and behold you found some Oreo cookie cows. Ha ha ha. Oh I love the little pond. I could hang out there for a while. Stay safe out there and I’ll see ya on the next one. 👍👍
Never seen cows up so high before but thank goodness they were the gentle type or I would have done a right U turn lol.
That was a real peaceful spot on the bench next to the tarn at then end, I stopped there for a while, despite the cold. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awww... think how much amazing stuff you could do with a drone. But guess mybe in future.
Hope Spring soon is here. Don't want to see more ice! lol
Wonderful nature as always and good you are dressed for cold weather. Even if it's still can feel cold in those type of winds.
Have a wonderful Sunday evening and cheers 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Thanks so much for stopping by and yes, despite the sun being out it was real cold in the wind and the paths had so much ice on them. Still a real nice to to be out to be high up and to be free, cheers Alan
Nice to see you Alan. What a beautiful lake at the end of the video. I hope the weather gets warmer for you soon. It was a beautiful hike. Holidays do take it's toll on the weight. LOL Take good care always and thank you for sharing
I put on 10pounds in December and just shifted the last pound two months later lol. A real good days hiking but man that wind was a cold one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Cracking hill Alan , still great views tho . It looked bitingly cold on the summit and not for hanging about with the coos 🐄 lol TFS atb Dave 📷👍
Despite the full sun it was baltic and the wind was biting, so not a day for hanging around. Got a shock when I got to the top and saw those cows mind lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Indeed, they always look easy on the map and only a few centimeters... LOL Drones are wonderful but expensive then you always worry about crashing it... as I do...🙄 The cows were having a bit of lunch too.
Problem with going high as well is the wind, so I would maybe not get much chance to fly it anyway - well, that's what I keep telling myself anyway lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
The drones can be exciting! There are a lot of places that you can't fly though. It is an expensive purchase though.
To true especially when you are old aged pensioners like us lol. One day it will happen - watch this space! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Oh, very impressive ❤ I need to get myself over to the Lakes and do some walking 😃👍
You should, especially when you get a nice clear the day, the views are mind blowing. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Very cold out there Alan, nice hikes and those views are outstanding...I have to say those clouds look painted...icy going down, you'd better be careful friend, really windy....you piled it high for that week before Christmas🤣🤣 Oh my! Nice little bench there...10 minutes back to the park! See ya on the next one!
I had a fun month piling the pounds over over Christmas but it has taken me two months to get it all off again lol. A real good days hiking but man was that wind cold! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan,
We had a catch up of your adventures on the telly last night 😊👍. Loved this hike (always a full watch from us!). What a beautiful clear sunny day, if a little chilly and icy! 🥶. Those views were worth it though, stunning! The lakes at its best 👌🏞⛰️🏔. The friendly belted Galloway cows! The only cows we don't mind seeing on trail, the ones around tarn howes are so use to seeing people they actually came up to us for a fuss once! 😊🐮. Ooh looked very icy on the way down, care needed! We always forget our ice spikes too😮. Thanks for taking us along as ever, certainly made us miss the lakes this one, must get back there soon.
All the best
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
I was real surprised when I saw those cows on the summit but also so relived that they were the Belted Galloway, or I would have been straight back down again lol. Despite the sun all day it was freezing and that ice on the way down was no joke, so really relieved when I got back down in one piece. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hey Alan, certainly looked a cold day mate, don't blame you for keeping moving. What a lovely fell with some great views from the top, never been so lovely to see and will deffinately go. It is great how many of the lower fells have such wonderful views though sounded a little harder than you would imagine. Must admit I would be nervous around them cows too Alan, you never know what they might do. Great film as usual, thanks for sharing
I got quite a shock when I saw them on the top of the summit and an even bigger one when one of them crept up behind me when I was having my lunch lol. A bit steep and scrambley in places but when a great view from the top but was was that a cold wind! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow that looked a stunning walk mate. Beautiful clear skies and as ever too views.
Sometime it’s better when it’s chilly I think.
Too video as always mate.
Catch you again soon. Cheers.
Filmed the first week into the new year and it was baltic, the sun was out but not an ounce of warmth in it but still I wish we had been having more days like this - sick of all this rain. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, more gorgeous views from the lakes cant fail unless a low cloudy day, bet them cows nearly gave you a nasty turn on the summit there as i know you love em, i love to see drone footage but i totally agree with your comments on that subject your footage is spectacular enough anyway of the lakes, now they were very big potions of food there at Christmas time LOL, take care and get them 214 summits done cheers nigel
Absolutely, could not believe it when I got to the top and saw them. Thank goodness they were the quiet type or I would have been straight back down again lol. I put on 10 lbs over December and only just this week got rid of the last one of them, fun putting them on but not getting them off. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the work. everything look absolutely beautiful .Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful. best of luck for your promising future. Keep doing the best work.thank you for sharing. like
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment as well, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Wow, stunning up there Alan. Looked really cold tho!
My kind of walk with no one about. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend x 💕👌🏻😄
Thanks, you too Kim and despite the sun being out you could not feel it but man you could feel that wind and it was baltic. Still a fun day to be out and this was my first day out over the lakes after Christmas, so good to get a few Christmas pounds shifted too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hey Alan 😊 Holme fell is a nice hike I agree though it is steep in places. I remember going totally off route trying to photograph a bird of prey when I done this walk 😅 beautiful views at the top! Wow cows about, I didn’t see any when I done this. They looked very friendly mind. Enjoyable watch 😁
Thanks very much and one I have been meaning to do for a while but a bit of a trek just for one Fell, so I added in Orrest Head and had intended to do Black Crag as well but but too tired in the end after the Christmas excess (This was filmed in early January), cheers Alan
Hi Alan. Holme Fell is a brilliant hill, a tough little blighter though in certain parts. But magnificent 360 views. You done have to worry about belted Galloways, they are really placid. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always mate, all the very best, Dave 😀⛰🥾❄️
To be honest I was real happy when I realised that, if they had been the more common type of cow I would still have Holme Fell to do on my list lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Cold but a very nice day as far as I can see ;-) You had the whole trail for yourself I guess....Very nice.. Take care Alan, have a great week.🤞🤞🤞🤞
Beauty about going mid week, always nice and quiet and even that cold wind could not spoil a real good day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Another gorgeous area Alan. Looks a bit chilly! I was wondering if there were any cows there, and sure enough……..there they were 😊 Thank you for taking us along. God Bless 🕊️
Haha, I could not believe it when I got to the top and saw those cows lol. I assumed they would just wander off but as I sat down to have my lunch, I got the shock of my life when one came up behind me. Out of all the cows we have in the UK, thankfully these are the most gentle. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN Hahaha I think they’re following you 😅
Excellent and entertaining video as always. I think your theory that giants were chucking those big rocks around is clearly correct, totally agree with that :) Stunning views from the top, really perfect weather for it (well so long as you dont mind ice skating ;) ). Its also great that you had the place to yourself. Thanks for sharing, have a great week, cheers from barnyz
Sunny day but man that wind was baltic, so I was not hanging around too long, especially when I was disturbed by those cows on the summit. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely video Alan. Holme Fell is on my August to do list as I believe it is one of the best heather fells in the Lake District. Really looking forward to it after seeing these views 😊
Sounds great Nicola, a perfect time to do it and one thing for sure, no ice on the path then. It was a great view from the summit but the view point near the actual Wainwright had an even better view (imo). I hope you have the same sun and clear weather but make it a lot warmer! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good one alan them cows while ya getting ya dinner hahahaha hope this dinner wasn't like the photos lol 😆 good on ya pal and hope ya last small hike with the family and friends is a good one for yous all
Those photos were taken at Toby Carvery, love going there lol. Good day out albeit a real cold wind blowing all day and loads of ice on the path. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Some of that looked a bit slippery Alan. Lovely clear day, great views as usual. Getting a drone isn't just for you, it would allow us all to see the wonderful views from a different perspective. I would buy a drone but they are banned in The New Forest. We all put on weight at Xmas :) Best wishes, Rob
It sure was slippery on the paths on the way up and despite that sun it was freezing but still a great day out. It has taken me 2 months to get off what I put on over December lol. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Alan that looked so cold but so beautiful, stunning footage of a lovely area. Nice to get out mid week while its quiet. I wouldn't like to see the giants around there though 😃
A drone would be great for you because of the places you go to, maybe someone might give you one to do a review 🙂👍You had amazing views and even cows up there hehe, I would be shocked to see them too ! Haha the food photos were great. That looked so lovely :) ~ Anna 👍
I have been offered two before to review but they were poor quality, so I would have to be honest and say they were poor and not worth the money, funny enough when I told them that, the offer was swiftly removed lol. I enjoyed putting that 20lbs on over December but not the two months it has taken me to shift it off again - yikkes! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video Alan. Holme Fell is a lovely little fell. One of my early walks in the Lakes.
But when I started bagging the Wainwrights I had to go up again as my first walk didn’t include the summit. Hardly a chore though! All the best
Yes there was a choice of summits up there so hopefully I touched the correct one lol. Not the highest fell but steep and scrambley in a few places but still a great view from the top. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Cracking video Alan. Beautiful scenery. Nice sunny day although that wind looked a bit fierce mind. The cow looked like it wanted to share your sandwiches 😂 Not sure about the drone although they certainly add to video. Wonder how long it would take to master the controls? Could you imagine buying one and crashing it first time out Ouch! Thanks for sharing, made for a very enjoyable watch
When I was sat down having my lunch at the top one of them can right behind me and gave me a hell of a start lol. I have hummed and hared about a drone for years, one day I will be one and never thought about crashing it.....until now! LOL! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good content to be watch today dear my friend..nice hiking and I very enjoyed it much ❤
Best regards from Indonesia #willysandy58
Thank you so much 👍 Real good of you to watch and comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN you're welcome my friend 😊🙏🏻
Very nice easy walk Alan and although cold it didn’t rain on you. I thought about a drone but believe it would all be far too technical for a Luddite like me. Like to try and keep things simple. Already looking forward to your next film adventure, cheers Mike. 👍
I know what you mean and with two controls, going up, down, east and west...multi tasking is not my strong point. Surely they must get cheaper and easier in the future, just hope I am still here to see both! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Please let us know the final hike, would love to come. Belted Galloway are very calm and peaceful. Cracking view, looks a great day even if it was cold
It's going to be High Rigg Julie and I hope you do come, it will be nice to meet you. It is the same parking as for my Raven Crag video, so plenty there and nice for Keswick and Grasmere as well if people want to go on and do something else. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN brilliant I will make sure I don't do it . I can add it to my list on your day
Hi Alan
As you mentioned, the air seems crispy and bitter as I see they are blowing the water right next you, ahhhhhh ice on the ground!
I hope you are not wearing your iconic pair of short today...hehe
I love this view the sunlight is leaking from the top 6:29
hahahha You had a company at your lunch at the summit 8:29 hahah Comical but we can take some laughs after you overcome such challenges .
Excellent hike! Stay warm....Spring has not arrived in the UK yet??? Aweee.. I respect your decision sending back DJI mini...hopefully you will have a sponsor in the future. Besides, you already have been capturing stunning view with your Gopro anyway. See you next time
Sorry I got sick, catching some bugs last week.
Sorry to hear you have been ill and finders crossed you are on the mead now. This was filmed the first week in January and despite the sun being out it was freezing, even though, I had intended to stop a while on the summit, until I saw those cows. That was a very quick lunch indeed lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Ooooo that looked a chilly one 🤤 That cold wind seems to have been a feature of the winter this year but on this day you did get the advantage of beautiful suuny views. That car park is very handy for Tarn Howes too as avoids a dodgy single track road from the other side. HAHA the Belted Galloway crept up on you though it didn't look too aggressive 😆 do you think it was after your chocolate. BTW that reminds me ... I saw on a fb group page someone asking for reccomendations as to what to eat on a hike, it was followed by Alan Metalman says ........ 😀 Your fame is spreading 😎😍 Another superb walk with fabulous views thanks Alan 😊
I was quite surprised that they were so high but but still thankful they were the nice quiet type of cows or I would have still had Holme Fell to do lol. haha, yes, all energy food for me - I need it! Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, mid-week is nice for sure with fewer other people there. Especially nice for filming. Sounded so windy! "It always looks easier on the map," isn't that the truth! Two giants throwing rocks... haha😂 I've heard that before. It must have been something you said on a different video. I've heard good things about the DJI drone. Too bad you sent it back! It adds some good flair to videos. I bet it would be crazy hard to fly in those winds. Epic views up there, though! Loved that you got to explore a new place! I'm part of the small and select group!
Haha, thank you and yes I was really torn by that drone but 'think' I did the right thing in the end. It's a common folk law story about the 2 giants in these parts and out of all the different theory's, that one is my favourite lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Loved the view as you hit that shoulder. Alan 6:57
Beautiful and cold mate ❄️
But I’m the same spending big on unnecessary personal gear as good as they are is hard to justify (got my lottery ticket though too 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤠)
Nice to see the small Dexter cattle up on the fell too
Great climb
All the best Simon 🤠👍
I got a surprise when I saw them on the summit but leased they were the quiet type of cow or I would have done a 360 and straight back down again lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely tarn to start the day, those paths do look frosty, how many Wainwrights have you left to bag? Hopefully a drone will be in our future but the bulk of its use will be urban shots I think. Will buy it in the next tax year 😜 lovely summit to share with the belted Galloways, they look lovely! Glad you got down the icy path safely. Conniston looking lovely in the distance. 👍
I think it is about another 47 still to do but I do need to check what I have left as I did so many group walks where I just turned up for the walk with the group and did not take that much notice on where were were actually hiking, unless it was the well known Fells. Thank good ness they were belted Galloways, as I fell a lot better around those, even though one of the buggers crept up behind me and gave me the shock of my life when I was having my lunch! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMANdo love the belted Galloways, I think after the highland cows they are probably the most tame of the British breed.
@@GENerationXplorers - thank goodness 😵💫
☀️☀️☀️ Thank you so much my friend for taking us along . I love sports znd nature .
Appreciate you stopping by, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Well done, Alan, we loved this one, especially the tarn and the fantastic views at the top. We got a bit lost up there, wandered round all the tops and some parts are definitely a bit sketchy. Holme Fell is definitely the 2nd smallest wainwright so as ever your integrity is beyond question! Just wondering how many more wainwrights you have to do and would your last one be around the time we are over in Sept? Mind you, it would be a great excuse to come again. Loved your reference to Eric - he was our great inspiration at first and he had a lovely way of telling the story of each fell. That christmas dinner plate looked a tad over full, tasty though!! Getting out to the Mournes on tuesday, weather looks dry but cold, so looking forward to that. Andrea sends her best wishes, regards, Ashley
I think its 47 left but I need to check and I did so many group walks about 6 years back and we did multiple fells, when all I did was turn up and spent the day chatting before I got into the filming. If I get to the end this year I am saving the last one till a September weekend when you are over, just need to get them finished and get a nice day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It will be a great achievement when you get them all done, and then you can start again!!
Superb vid. Driven past it lots. Might be a nice gentle one to do on the last day of the holiday before heading back south. How many wainwrights have you got left To do?
About 47 still to go and sick of waiting for some good weather, as I want to try and finish them all this year. If you do climb it, fingers crossed you get the same clear summit I got. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Why is this your last wainwright alan
I will be doing more but that will be the last of the recognised 214 to say I have climbed every single one of them. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan,
I have tried to comment with my email address included but they seem to be being deleted..
Anyway another great film, we always enjoy watching your latest adventures and it would be fabulous join you when you eventually get to conquer your last Wainwright.
Your story of the drone really touched us and we think it's a must to use a drone to capture the remaining Wainwrights to look back on in years to come.
If possible maybe we could help out with your drone dilemma..
Not sure how we could exchange ideas / messages..
All the best
Matthew & Sue 'Crag Mavericks'
Thanks very much real nice of you to watch and I appreciate your kind words. I had a problem with YT just over a year ago when I kept commenting on videos but they kept disappearing - dam annoying. Haha for years I have been humming and haring about a drone and Mrs Metalman has continually encouraged me to get one but I always feel guilty as it is something exclusively for me, especially as (due to her health) she cannot come out and climb any of the Fells with me now. I was offered one by a company, who got my email off my video to review but it was a poor quality drone, only capable of of filming at 720p, so I said my honest review would have to reflect that and turned it down. It will happen one day but as long as I am fit enough to get out and up on those summit tops I am happy enough, cheers Alan
Hi Alan,
That's all I keep thinking about.. the days when we can't make it up the mountains anymore... but at least we will still have our films to remind us of the days we could..☺
Sue and I were thinking that rather than but you a coffee we would like to offer you, through our company 'Matthew Marsden Furniture' the DJI Mini SE drone you spoke about in your film.
No string, no reviews, no mentions, we just like helping out where we can and it would give us great pleasure watching you complete the remaining Wainwrights capturing every drop of landscape and memory you can.
We completely understand if you do not wish to accept our offer and then we will buy you a coffee or two in return, but, we would be delighted if you do.
All the best
Matthew & Sue
@@crag_mavericks- wow, that a fantastic and very generous offer, something I really appreciate. If you are absolutely sure I would be over the moon to accept your offer, real kind of you and something I would put to good use for sure. In the description in all my videos is my e-mail address if you would prefer to speak that way. Once again, thank you so much :o)
