Really enjoyed this - thank you so much for posting. I used to live Penrith way (20+ years ago), and did a fair bit of walking in the fells, plus running some of the easier/smaller fells. Remembering what a treat it is to have a day like this - maybe even more so when it's out of peak season, so it's a bit grey and misty, and you mostly get the fells to yourself. What a treat also to have such an almost infinite choice of routes - you could do a different run every day of the year, and they'd all be good! 😊
@lakelandtrailrunner lol...I was going to say.. have you come down or gone up between Pike o Stickle and Loft crag, stopping off at the Neolithic axe cave 🤣🤣🤣
@ ha what are the chances!? I’m headed over that way this morn. Blake Rigg, Pike of Blisco, cold Pike, Little Stand, Grey Friar etc I’ll see if I can find it 👌🏻
Enjoyed that John. Many thanks for the footage and much missed waffles.😊 And in one of my all time favourite lakes area's. I've just got out of hospital after even more surgery and to see and almost breathe the fells along with you felt awesome 👍 I'm glad the change of tact with the strength training is paying off too. I've never been a fan of building leg strength at gyms for downhill running or speed. I have the thinist legs in the world and used to pass tons of heavy set runners on the downhills. Look forward to the next one. BW Pete
Thanks Pete much appreciated, glad I could help in some small way, hope the recovery goes well. I can definitly feel my downhill running getting better and my knees getting stronger.
Ha - I was up on High Raise on Sunday am and the weather was the same! The rocks are really slippy atm. Ended up on my backside three times even with my VJ xtrm shoes. My route is Grasmere into Far Easedale, sergeant man, High raise, greenup down lining crag into Rosthwaite on the C2C route and then head over road and river side paths into grange. Bus 2 Keswick and then back to Grasmere. That climb up to Glaramara looked insane. Enjoying the videos. 👍👍👍
@@colinboxall2692 thanks Colin. That’s a good route! Haha VJs famous sticky XTRM’s are only sticky up to a point. I’ve the same shoes, love them. Need a new pair now tho.
That climb up G is a beast no doubt. Great filming on this one again mate. Starting to build up a collection of shoes there. Perhaps Behind the Keyhole of your shoe cupboard next time! Great work as ever....might just follow that route this weekend.
Great video mate, managed to capture some wonderful landscape footage considering clag was down, love the shots of you running with the incredible back drop and the moody music very fitting. Good idea sacking Bowfell off in them conditions, when you know, you know ;)
@@fionac1089 sure, I’ll do something when I next take my sound gear out with me. Last couple of videos I’ve just been using my phone and the mic is terrible 👌🏻🙂

@@PeterAnderson-n7x yeah I might mate, that’s not a bad idea for a vid when the weather is too horrendous to get out. 👌🏻
Good colours and all round mistiness . Thank you.

@@aaronhargreaves7873 haha so true iykyk 😉
Nice one John, enjoyed that. You ran some distance from your camera - must have added a far bit of distance all that to'ing and fro'ing 🤣
haha the camera makes it look further than it is, but yeah I reckon I added an extra mile ;)
I'd be really interested to hear you talk more about navigation and how you choose a line etc

Cracking Video as usual. many thanks 👍
What watch do you use?
@@gregcottam1397 thanks Greg. I’m using a Suunto 9 mate 👌🏻
What ambient tune was that John cos Shazam was useless trying to work it out.
