Nice one chief, one on my list to do, used to drive down the A66 when working away in Cleator Moor and spied Skiddaw in full snow and thought it looked a good one! Great upload, enjoyed that, many thanks!
Your gonna find this hard to believe today 3rd September temp of 22 degrees here in Scotland hard to believe I know and no rain forecast for the next 2 days is quite good
Love your enthusiasm for other people hiking, let alone your own ventures. Good for you Andy Malloy
Did Skiddaw in June, was so cold at the top could see my breath, also its not just getting up thats the problem is getting bloody down lol
Love Skiddaw. Used to push my mountain bike to the top and then ride down. 2 and a half hours up, 12 minutes down.
That looked pretty refreshing! Great hike out cheers.
Thanks, did that Skiddaw route only last week, fantastic 🎉

Hi, cracking channel, what’s the red device clipped on ur rucksack strap? Thanks.
Garmin inReach Mini 2 - it’s an SOS device that also tracks and sends messages.
@@BackpackingUKis it a gps device?
Where are you heading for in Scotland it’s where I live plenty of cracking hikes and climbs around here
Great watch. Skiddaw is the 4th largest mountain BTW :)
Broad Crag and Ill Crag are higher so it’s the 6th largest 👍
@andycoombes161
4th largest in Lake District.
I’ve got so many questions? How long did it take you? Can you also camp up there? Will this be great place for group prayers in mounting?
Or will you recommend Latrigg?
Definitely Latrigg for groups.
Where are you heading to in Scotland?
I’ve just done this yesterday and it was definitely about -10 at the top with the wind chill
I bet it was! 🥶
Just checked the weather for today it was -10 at the top but felt like -21 😂
How long does this route take where do u start this route from please?
I started from Briar Rigg and it took me 3h 45m hiking time but I took a longer route to include other Wainwrights too.
@@BackpackingUK thank u
I did Skiddaw in October and it was 95 mile an hour wind
😱😱😱
whereabouts were you going Scotland

4th not 6th.
Now listed as 6th all my life its been 4th , have 2 grown ?
Don’t forget Ill Crag and Broad Crag are marginally higher (literally a few metres).
Its the 6th tallest mountain in England, the 4th tallest in the Lake District.
