What an amazing Yorkshire Dales adventure, dear Olga! Your enthusiasm and knowledge made the video a joy to watch. The stunning landscape, passing train, and charming hostel created a truly memorable experience. Thanks for sharing the beauty and joy of nature. Keep exploring and sharing your adventures!
Thank you 🙏 Mihai
What a lovely area Olga. We’re new here and loving your content. That viaduct is stunning. Loved that river. It’s beautiful up there. Stunning walk. Cheers 🍻
The Ribblehead Viaduct is so cool and reminds me of the railway track I saw while running the Northumberland Coastal Marathon course. I love the little portals too, they're wonderful 😄
Thank you, Thomas! It's so cool that you've been to Northumberland. When was it?
Well done on making the summit of the last of the 3 peaks Olga. I did Pen-y-ghent about 4 years ago with my 2 youngest. It lived up to its name of being a windy summit. I can’t remember if I’ve climbed Whernside but I definitely did Ingleborough when I was in the Army in about 1998. I still would like to try the 3 peaks as a trail run one day.
Looked like you all had a lovely day 😊
I think you would be great at running the Three Peaks, Rachel!
This whole area is stunning Olga with the beautiful hills and the little gate for little people 🤭nice evening venture out with doggy and hubby . So beautiful ~ Anna 👍
Thank you for the support, Anna.
It must be about 15 years ago I was up Whernside, so way overdue a visit and such a glorious part of the country too. I well remember walking under that viaduct and what an impressive sight it was too. I was hiking in the Lakes yesterday and there was a Fell race on from Pooley Bridge to Ambleside, so I was looking out for you. That looked like you had a great days walk and a real nice loop in great weather, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, thank you for the comment. I am a bit careful racing during a day when it's hot. I am terrible in the heat. Most of races that I have put on here lately are evening races when the sun is not as brutal. I am fine running in any weather but the heat.
What a great day for peak number 3. Superb long distance views and cloud formations. It's a very modern trig point with its own QR code!
I remember the Settle Carlisle railway line being saved from closure in the late 80s or early 90s - thank goodness they reconsidered.
Yes, good job they kept it going, Gordon!
True Beauty..... The Dales are Outstanding..... As are you Olga... My Dad did the 3 Peaks..... He was a Top Man..... Do miss him..... Bless you Olga... :-)) xxxx
Yes, top man your dad, David! I am so happy it's raining right now. Feels fresher.
@@OlgasBritishFells I love the smell after a rain storm..... I just had a Pigeon feeding at my bird feeder... It looked like a drowned Rat.... :-))) xxx
It’s awesome place you visited,such gorgeous views! The mountains, the train. How lovely you are dancing on the trigger point😍👍👍
Thank you, guys!
That viaduct is really impressive. The Yorkshire Dales are on my list to visit and run. I'm looking forward to spending time there when I can. Thanks for the video Olga.
Yes, Yorkshire is gorgeous!
I was up there when I ran the 3peaks race but the race route is hands and knees near the top. Lovely area to visit. Davie
Oh, I was thinking how they make 24 miles out of this, they must do it by arranging the steep shortcuts then, is that right?
@@OlgasBritishFells Soon after the Viaduct you take a direct route to the summit.
Great to see you in the Yorkshire Dales, this is a part of England I'm longing to visit - looks amazing! I hadn't heard of the Yorkshire Three Peaks before, thanks for introducing me to it although I don't think I stand much of a chance to complete it in 24 hours. Maybe 48! 😅. It looked really quite on the trail, was there anybody else up there or did you have it all to yourselves! Great video!
Hi Matt, we went in the evening intentionally to avoid the crowds. I like going in the evening during summer time because it doesn't get dark till late. The majority of people go first thing in the morning and then it becomes choka blocka. I like to avoid the masses.
@@OlgasBritishFells You and me both! Always good to avoid the crowds where possible.
Did you take up dip under the waterfall?
Hi Sam, yes I did, but I didn't film it. I was not wearing a swimming suit. I went in my knickers and bra I thought Yiu Tube might not like it. It was a very secluded place you could literally swim naked there and noone would see.
@@OlgasBritishFells yes, I’m always worried about youtube blocking me too! Do you ever camp out on the hills?
I used to, but my tent is knackered now, I need to buy a new one.
