Brill, I think Mary you need to to sort Graham on the Cumberland dialect, especially Souther Fell ha, loved the Sharp Edge video, nice to see Dave's face popping up, used to love watching Dave, an inspiration to us all. I started doing Wainwrights when I turned 64. Have done 203 Wainwrights, then Covid came, stopped us in our tracks. Have done quite a few 2 or 3 times, around 350 in total. As Mary knows, living in Carlisle is ideal. Started on Catbells, remember saying " I will never get up there", have been up 11 times . Am 78 now. Great video.
That's brilliant John. Yes Mary and many others are always pulling me up on the pronouncing of Cumbrian places. Being from Sarfend-on-Mud and as common as same... it will continue to be an issue sadly. Mary has informed me it was you that introduced her to the Fat Boys video's, for that, I will forever be in your debt.
I so enjoy watching your adventures, I had an enforced absence from the Lakes last year, looking forward to getting back up there come late spring. Graham, you guys definitely are the "dogs bollocks", keep 'em coming, and thanks a million!!!
Lol, thank you Malcolm we appreciate you watching our stuff and taking the time to comment. While the legs keep going, we will try to bring something worth a watch to the channel now and again. Next one is very wet!. Hopefully we will see you out there and glad your back in the game 👍
Hell of a walk tht Graham. I was so hot doing that walk I cut my trousers off with a knife to make shorts at Dale Head tarn going the other way. Made it as far as Robinson before taking the ridge down to little town. So complete respect here to everyone 👏
Wow that sounds like a nightmare. Heat is my enemy, I get so hot often and get very fatigued. Even during colder days I'm in a tech shirt while others are in thick jackets. I have total empathy with you on getting hot but taking a knife to my expensive trousers... maybe not 🤣🤣
Down to just the hard core I see and another real moody day, which I always love. Looked a real bog to get to Robinson and I have yet to be on Dale head is perfect weather, either misty of blowing a gale. You got stunning views of the Newlands Valley mind and I love the cairn at High Spy. Although maiden Moor does not have an impressive cairn it dose have a very impressive view over towards Catbells. A nice way to honour Dave and I bet that was bloody baltic lol, cheers Alan
Thanks a lot Graham, you were right about the bloke, at the top of Robinson, what a miserable bugger. One more to do and finally caught up with the videos.
Newlands Round was one of my favourite walks when I completed the Wainwrights. I did a slightly different route as I was staying at the YHA at Honister, so my first fell was Dale Head then Hindscarth and I continued in an anti-clockwise direction ending on High Spy. Your video brought back some good memories - thanks, Andrew.
That's a nice route and straight out of the wonderful Honister Hause YHA, a great place to stay. I always enjoy the community atmosphere and chats at YHA's though nowadays we are lazy and book the breakfasts 🤣 Thanks for watching and keep enjoying those fells
Fantastic hues on the fells,it sounded a long way when you described the walk initially, after the previous day amazing to do all that ,a few pints after definitely deserved
Another cracking video Graham. Well done all, it looked a long day, especially on top of the previous walks you did that week. Great stuff. Cheers. Eddie.
Brilliant video x It's funny. We never thought of linking Ard Crag with Robinson before. We've always done Ard Crag with Causey Pike, Sail, and Scar. It looks a great route. Really hard though. I think we'd cut it shorter. Well done xx
Hi Patricia, yes we have done that walk you mentioned. We have done this a couple of times now and it is hard, we are just mad. Thanks for watching it is much appreciated.
Another top notch video.. a great watch 👍. It's alot of years since I did a number of those summits and I think its time to invest in some high strength ibuprofen and give this route a try. Keep up the great work.
Great video Graham and my knees ache just watching us ascend Robinson :)

Thanks Alan for watching this epic bro. Yeah I miss the old buggerout on the fells. Fourtnatly we still go walking at home. 👍
Thanks a lot Graham, you were right about the bloke, at the top of Robinson, what a miserable bugger. One more to do and finally caught up with the videos.
Excellent video as always. Well done everyone, that's a real slog of a walk! You captured some gorgeous shots on the way round.
Thank You Marjorie, I hope is is good with you Michael. Appreciate you watching our adventures as always and taking the time to comment x
@FAT BOYS ON TOUR UK Hiking Video's All good here thanks Graham. Your videos are doing the usual....making me want to get out there!

An absolutely fantastic video and walk, one of your best, well done!
Thank you very much, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it Paul, we loved the walk even though it nearly finished us off 🤣
Fantastic hues on the fells,it sounded a long way when you described the walk initially, after the previous day amazing to do all that ,a few pints after definitely deserved
They didn't touch the sides Graham. Thanks mate
What a great route, I will put that on the list.
It's a cracker, cheers John
Well done everyone, I did this without Knott Rigg and Ard crags and was on my knees, you are all real life inspirations
That is very kind of you Dave, the legs may ache, but the mental wellbeing it brings us old farts is worth the pain. Cheers for watching
Another cracking video Graham. Well done all, it looked a long day, especially on top of the previous walks you did that week. Great stuff. Cheers. Eddie.
Cheers Eddie, more beer than usual was required afterwards to cure the knee ache

Brilliant as always Graham. That’s a great (long) walk. You’ve been busy pushing out the videos recently!
Yeah I was on the drag with them, now on a rush before we go back up in April. Thanks for the support and putting up with the deluge of them Alan.
Another top notch video.. a great watch 👍. It's alot of years since I did a number of those summits and I think its time to invest in some high strength ibuprofen and give this route a try. Keep up the great work.
An essential part of our kit David along with Paracetamol and plasters 🤣 Thanks for watching.
