aye my idea is to see how few days i can walk all 7 regions of the lakes.. im a spur of the moment type of person and didnt prepare as well as i should have... we will try again :)
20 miles each day with a camping backpack, I admire your optimism! The only problem with that bench is it is too nice with such an awesome view, so I always spend far to long there and on the even better one you missed (on camera anyhow). Yes I did the first 4 of yours with another RUclipsr but we did it the other way around, which I preferred, no good for your route you had planned mind. Been there before planning a route on OS Maps, does not look too bad until you are actually walking the route but well done for what you did and having the good sense to call it when you knew your were feeling the pain, yep good sense not a failure at all. Cheers Alan
its a route i really want to do so just because 'im sure its possible'.. might need 3 days instead of 2 but ill be back to try it again.. i need a few more wild camps under my belt first tho to get used to the isolation.. yea dodd is my local fell.. v.busy on weekends but a lovely walk.. thanks for watching Alan, tek care lad :)
Back to the big stuff eh Dave. That's a hell of a walk with a heavy pack especially in that wind which can take it out of you. Well done. It's an achievement not a failure.
aye was a good experience walking with a heavy pack.. ya can always learn something from a day on the fells.. im sure ill try it again once i get the outlying fells finished, thanks :)
Definetly not a failure. Great video and really enjoyed it. Always wondered what path was like from Carlside to Skiddaw and from Skiddaw down to Bakestall. Look forward to your next video.
yea i knew bakestall was going to be tough, its a longer way down than it looks on paper and the fact i had to reascend most of that just sapped my moral.. great fells tho, thanks for watching :)
No failure there pal. I'm like you, no expert but I keep it safe and sensible. Took me 3 times to get to the top of Skiddaw. I had a diabetic dog to carry in a rucksack. I'm not into wild camping but a really good channel is Bushman and Blue. Only thing is the guy is super fit unlike me 😆
aye its something im finding hard to get into.. i dont think ill ever just go and camp for the sake of it but as part of a multiday hike is something id like to incorporate into my skill set.. im jelous of those camping channels that go and do it as if its nothing and i guess the only way to beat it is to do it.. Cheers for the feedback, tek care :)
Failure you say? Most people would be welll happy doing half of that! The skiddaw group is a big open and vast mountain massif, so that's nothing to be unhappy about! The only lesson that maybe you should learn from this is something that you already pointed out in the video, which is that on a map, it looks so much easier, and everything is closer! But as usual, a very good and well put together video. Keep it up! Love watching them.
absolutely this.. its dead easy to click little lines on a map on the computer and think aye that'll be fine.. when you get there and see the vast distance with your eyes it can be overwhelming but we will try again one day.. thank you :)
That’s no failure Dave, that’s a big hike that. My suggestion would be to do the wild camp first and then hike the next day. Go after teatime to somewhere manageable like Hard Knott or High Rigg and then get up early the next day and do a days walking (ideally you’d change heavy rucksack to a day pack). Enjoy watching your channel. All the best
yea hard knott seems a good shout, nice short climb, plenty of pitches.. i think i need to be with someone else for the time being.. dont think am ready solo tho... thanks for watching, tek care :)
A great video Dave.I love the Longside Edge mate and you had some great views! Last time I did it, it was really hazy! I did Skiddaw last week from Under Skiddaw car park and managed to tick another 3 off…..152 to go 😂. Still yet to do Bakestall! Cheers for a good video mate ⛰️🥾
Bakestall is best from the other side up the whitewater dash path i went down on here.. the waterfall is nice but the landmark of 'dead crags' just before you turn off up bakestall look incredible, make you feel very small..
@@daveostlemountainman cheers mate much appreciated. If you’re around in October, fancing joining up for a walk? I think im there the 1st week of that month.
I tell ya what dave you done better than I could here all them in 4 hours it would take me that just to do skidd lol well done mate I've never done any of this northen lot other than binsey with you so nice one on the info and showing the way I loved that first one up through the woods honestly mate don't let this one get to ya as you say heavy bag and big miles also the assent would take its toll on any one mate I'm also dreading skidd like just looks steep long and draining hahaha good job marra loved it and the mention brilliant mate in the words of the mountain man tek care see you on the next one
divent worry bout skidda mate, like i said, park at underskiddaw car park and ya already best part of 300m up.. pick up latrigg, lonscale and little man on ya way up.. nice paths.. aye i seen the weight ya carried up sale fell haha, i dont think my bag was THAT loaded.. cheers lad, tek care :)
aye i thought about skipping it but my challenge is to do all 24 northern, so if i ended on 23 it wud flair up ocd massively haha.. thanks for watching :)
Hiya Dave your no failure pal not easy them ones it's really hard to keep your fell fitness up happens with me to Dave don't think I could camp on my own to bet you nearly finished the outlying ones I finished the Wainwrights last week ended on lingmell bloody steep lol 🤣 then last Saturday I did the 3 Yorkshire peaks peny Ghent whernside and ingelbrough it's a cracking walk from Horton in Ribblesdale took me 10hrs 26 miles Dave if you fancy doing that with me sometime let me know would do it again really like it not easy like but is good for outlying fells doubt I could do them don't drive Dave ive done 3 irton pike and blackcombe and Whitecombe anyway hope you're well Jordan from Wigan keep up the good work mate
awh i do plan on the yorkshire 3 peaks, ive heard its a long walk between mountains tho and thats always put me off.. was the path easy to follow and where did you start?
@@daveostlemountainmanyeah it's all sign posted all the way round Dave paths are pretty good to gravel good morjority bit of road walking to if you fancy doing it I will meet you at Horton in Ribblesdale when you're not busy if you want going Cornwall middle of September so if you fancy doing it let us know Dave
Brilliant you did that Dave. You didn't bottle posting it which is good. We did the route to Skiddaw from ullock pike, longside then Carlside then onto skiddaw. It may have been better to get down to Dodd from carlside? You'll know better than me but it seems a lot more incline on your route? Keep up the great videos though and thanks Dave.
yea that route makes sense but the most efficient way to walk all 24 northern fells would be to start with dodd first the do an out and back to ulllock pike before skiddaw.. its just a route i came up with one evening, i dont think its one ive ever seen done before but we will try again after ive got a bit fitter.. thanks :)
Ey up Marra, you’re not a failure mate. If ever you want to do a summit camp just give me and Mossy a shout. Just up one hill, pitch the tent, a bit of craic then down the next morning. 👍⛰🥾🏕️ We did Lingmoor last night, top class! 😀
aye just watching mossys video now.. ill be up for that aye just id like to get these outlying fells out the way.. hate having them on my mind.. once done it'll be a weight off.. thanks for watching lad, tek care :)
Great video thank-you xx
@@louisesmith3860 aye I'll revisit this challenge one day, once I get the outlying Fells out of my mind.. cheers, tek care 🙂
Great video Dave. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a great weekend
thank you my friend :)
No failure that mate. Great idea aswel. Get yourself fitter and try again mate don’t give up on these good ideas 😊
aye my idea is to see how few days i can walk all 7 regions of the lakes.. im a spur of the moment type of person and didnt prepare as well as i should have... we will try again :)
Not a fail Dave. Loving your videos, keep up the good work.
cheers lad, good experience walking with a camping pack.. ive got a better idea of what im capable of now.. thanks for watching, tek care :)
