Yes Glen, I knowwhat it's like to step back into the hills, and feel that you are at home, you are where you should be. And I also know what it's like to not be able to go back there again. Feel every step, go absolutely everywhere, leave nothing out. And film it all so we can relive those days that meant so much.
You’re probably told this on a regular basis, but honestly…..your content is truly special 👏👏
I’d just like to say that the passion you have for what you do is testament to who you are as a person.
So grateful that you put in the miles to bring these vloggs to our screens, and let me tell you it brings joy to peoples lives, especially mine 😊.
Thank you and keep it up mate 👌🏼
Thank you so much! Made my day 😊 🙌
Can honestly say your the best at what you do and want to make people pack a rucksack and get out every day, absolutely fantastic
Ah perfect Sunday morning viewing. Loved the idea of getting the boat to do a linear walk. It's too easy to get bogged down in the number of Wainwrights to tick off and the big name fells, and forget to take the time to enjoy everything there is out there. Especially to your point about one day maybe not being lucky enough to do as much.
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller 😏
When the microphone failure prevented us being subjected to ’30 minutes of absolute gibberish’ I’m glad you saved the day by narrating the gibberish later, just so we didn’t miss out!😅
😂
I am just getting back outside after a loooong spell indoors due to illness. You are so right about getting out in beautiful areas. It has a huge lifting effect on the soul. Thank you for the videos and the views. Cheers.
Really looking forward to this. So pleased it's 37 minutes long as it really lets the viewer fully immerse in the walk. This series is the best watch there is both on You Tube and elsewhere 😬
This was the 1st walk I did following a family bereavement earlier in the year. I find getting out into the hills gives me an escape and time to breathe and reset, so it was a memorable walk in many ways. Really glad to relive it again here (almost to the step!). Really great vlog again and looking forward to season 2 !
Did this walk today, with the memory of this video to accompany my map and navigation aids. Reckon “steep pull” underplays Sleet Fell. 😂 Love your channel, and it’s been a huge help working out the hikes on my first ever visit to the Lake District. Thank you.
My first solo in the Lakes. Got the steamer from Glenridding to Howtown and walked back. I did the low level bit and stopped at a random cafe. I loved it with gorgeous views across Ullswater. This year I did Hallin Fell my god the wind was incredible, literally crawled to the big Monument. Never ever experienced gusts of wind that bad. But was worth it. Drove then to Gowbarrow for more punishment and it was so bad I didn't get to the trig, stood near it took a photo to prove I was there. Was too dangerous to get any closer.
Gowbarrow is the windiest place on earth 😂
Glenn, you can talk gibberish as much as you like! Good to have series 2 under way! 😁👍
My husband and I just love your beautiful video footage and stunning photography! Please keep doing what you’re doing! The walks are very inspirational, especially when you include Finn who we totally adore ❤️
Hi Glen absolutely love your videos the information and showing of the route is great, been in a bit of bad way with anxiety etc but your videos are a massive help been visiting the lakes for over 37 years now and these videos just keep giving me new ideas so thank you and keep up the great work all the best 👍🏻
You’re aren’t the only one Paul who uses these lovely videos to escape from life’s troubles. I wish you well.
Thank you 😊🙏
My most repeated walk. In all weathers. And round the rim and down the face of The Nab. Wonderful.
Said it before, and will say it again. Another great video.
You are absolutely right about it feeling like home. We visit pretty much every year since 2005 and our spirits rise as soon as the fells open up towards the end of a long journey. "We're home".
Spend most of our time in the North / East exploring the quieter fells. Still haven't ticked off Hallin Fell yet though. Maybe next time.
Keep up the excellent work. 👏
Fabulous walk, love a circular and will definitely be taking my young children up there when the days start getting longer. Thanks for such a great video
Oh I absolutely love watching your videos! So funny and relatable and you never fail to bring a smile to our faces when we sit down to watch what you've been up to next. 😁😁
Thanks so much, means a lot 😊 🙏
@@BlackCrag also, hubby wants to know what specific "colour" of pencil does Glenridding smell like? ;)
@@nicmarlow6388 Just plain ol' HB. Only the fancy kids had colour pencils 😂
@@BlackCrag lol!! 😂😂
I was at Hope Cove in Devon on Sunday morning and the waves were smashing over the rocks, it was really stormy. You’re absolutely right, getting out in nature, even in the winter feels great.
I climbed up to Place Fell via Boredale Hause over 20 years ago and above us were the golden eagles! One of them was sat on rock just up above us no camera ready of course doh. Good vlog thanks.
Used to camp at side farm (patterdale) when I was young. Did the low level walk from there to howtown a couple of times. View from silver point was one I will always remember. Another great and informative video. Ta mate. Brought back some great memories of the laughs me and my mates had camping there. Pubs in Glenridding and patterdale were brilliant, spent a lot of time in them, ha ha.
Nice one. I've done Howtown to Glenridding a couple of times on the lakeside path which is an excellent day out.
Fantastic start to session 2 loving the chit chat by the way 👏
Top content again. Still yet to stumble upon the deer flocks
Honestly I’m loving your videos. Becoming my favourite RUclips channel
Thanks so much 😊 🙏
You're right about Martindale being beautiful in the springtime - daffodils everywhere.
OMM chest pack returned? I love mine but in summer it's "sweatfest" chest-wise. Winter, I love it.
I agree that the path on the way back seems to go on forever.
Excellent walk you did especially started with the boat trip.have been up plaice fell having parked at Brothers Water then made my way back down & over to Angle Tarn & then there are various options then back down to Hartsop Village..lovely walking area this is.Keep up the great channel 👏
SUPERB presentation .. as always. Cheers from Cornwall.
Another great video. I'm catching up on some early videos in the series.
Walking through people's property, like at Highgate, really freaks me out!
Brilliant as ever...thank you.
Another Cracker Glenn, keep em coming. I'm a bit behind but will catch up soon.
Glen that was brilliant. I’ve long ago joined the struggle up to viewing seat and plonking my ancient arse down, so for you to carry on and remind me what I used to do and love is terrific. Keep them coming bud. Best wishes David Willacy.
Another great video, just deciding on what to put on the trophy…Drama Queen or The Biggest Drama Queen in the lakes..😬😁..
Fantastic hike... I have a hate relationship with Place Fell, nearly killed me - I went up the way you came down - I hate that path, steep and gravelly plus 5 other fells in the legs already!! But the views were most definitely worth it!
Loved this video, back in the lakes myself in 11 days, not that I'm counting lol.
Love Ullswater, you should have got the steamer to Pooley Bridge then walked from there to Glenridding, taking in Arthur's pike, Loadpot, High raise, lovely walk with views of Haweswater, but hey you have probably done it a thousand times anyway lol.
Great vlog. Made even more determined to get out on the fells over the Xmas break, it`s been almost 12 months since my last hike.....sound like i`m in the confession box! Haha.
Just come across your channel and wow how really informative compared to some that I've seen,after spending alot of my time hiking around snowdonia in the last couple of years I've decided this year to have a crack at the wainwright's and these latest episodes you have filmed I will use as inspiration,I've done a few allready but there's no harm in doing the wainwright's multiple times,hope to catch you out and about in the fells and keep up the fab work
22 mins Amen bro !!
Enjoyed that walk with you so much Glen.
Got to love a safety Mars Bar (prefer Snickers or Topic though myself). Best wishes.
Just came across your channel and enjoyed this video. I did the Patterdale, Place Fell, AngleTarn Pikes walk earlier in the year. Was big fan of Place Fell. Subscribed to the channel now, will have look through your videos..
Now thats a quality return to action , if somewhat tiring :)
Thank you 😊
Loved watching this video. Iv'e never done Place Fell from this direction so it was a special treat to see this route. Really stunning views of Ullswater from Hallin Fell. I don't think Iv'e ever been on Place fell when it hasn't been windy. Thanks for posting a cracking video. ATB David
Thank you 😊
Deserves a tick for the boat alone! Thought you'd found a bar on board as well!
I just love Hallin Fell Bannerdale and Boredale. It always looks so moody. Fantastic vlog, Thankyou for taking the time and effort.
Hey mate , great vid . That area probably has cedars growing in it . Pencils were made from them 👍
Ah, thanks for the info 😊
Wonderful video again Glen. We were on that very path a few weeks ago on the way up to Angletarn Pikes from Patterdale. Thanks for sharing your days adventure as always, very enjoyable indeed! 😀🥾⛰🍻
Great video.
What a fantastic way to start a walk with a steamboat. Followed your route on an OS map as I was watching your video - really informative. This is definately one for a snowy day. BTW what's the location of the Traveller's Rest? Looks like a great pub,
Many thanks, Phil.
Great video again showing beautiful views of Ullswater
Yes buddy glad to see you back looking forward to this 😀 👍
Another great video.
Another Brilliant Vlog! Great to see Hallin Fell as its probably one of my favourites. Already Looking forward to the next one👍
Awesome walk 👍 I’ve done it in reverse to what you’ve done it with a very early start, saw the dear too which always seem to be in the distance, ace area though, spot on 👍
Loved this one, having done Gowbarrow and Hallin a few times.
Fantastic start to Series Two. Looked mightily blustery up there!
Unfortunately it looks like the link for OSMap is bugging again? Is there a way to search for your walks on that App?
Interesting that you used the boat as a start for the journey. Great to watch as always.
Yeah!!! Trig Point
Excellent, cracking walk through some great territory 👏👏👏
A great start to the new season and to a walk 🥰👍🏻
Great stuff as always, thank you.
So no snow yet ! It be snowing inthe chives on top two weeks ago. !
Another wonderful vlog Glen good to see you out again. Looking forward to some more drone footage in the future 👍
I thought that was you in the travellers rest!! We went up hellvelyn that day! Keep up the good work! If I’d have known I would have got you a pint 😂
Oh really? Where were you sitting? 😊
@@BlackCrag next to you 🙈 me and two others! I said it when you left 😂. Sorry I should have said hello! As a Cumbrian living in Northumberland I love watching your videos!!
Another great video.. Thank you. I can't wait for some better weather to get back up high. Far too much rain in November! Your vlogs give us our fell fix!! 😊
Really glad to see you back! Another excellent video. I have done Hallin Fell many times but not the way you did it. Must explore the top more when next up. What an interesting route you did going over to Place fell.. Your videos are brilliant and so interesting.
Very enjoyable viewing as always Glen. I walked the Ullswater way in the summer and really enjoyed it. I’ve yet to climb Hallin Fell or Place Fell, but your vlog has definitely whetted my appetite.
Thanks Jon...highly recommended both fells 👌
Another great video! Really enjoyed watching it
Looks like an awesome trail. Great video! I really need to put this trail on my list. Thank you for inspiring me ;)
Thanks for posting and sharing this amazing video especially the virtual route on 3D map ! I would love to walk with my wife from Howtown to Glenridding but we are over 60 and might be a bit challenging for us ! Is there a low level route close to the shore? Please advise.
Thank you 😊 there certainly is. The path goes right along the shore. It's beautiful!
Another fantastic vlog! I've always done the lakeshore route but I'm definitely going to have a go at this one! Just a quick question what hiking trousers were you wearing?
Hi Glen. Got both of these to tick off and this looks a nice route for Saturday. Earliest steamer gets me there 10.20. How long does it take roughly as I got stuff on late afternoon? Thanks
I have to ask why are there so few trees in the English mountainsides? It's beautiful seeing all the bare fetchers of the land at any rate.
The fellsides are used as sheep pasture. The sheep eat any tree saplings before they can grow.
@@WalkAr0und I thought that might be it, I just wasn't sure.
How long in hours did it
Take you? And you should start doing guided group hikes 😊
🏴
How did you get the OS for route show on to the video or did you screen record as OS said to me it wasnt available yet? lol
What a cracking walk and way to do place fell instead of coming up from patterdale defo on the To do hike ...love watching other people's routes ... having withdrawl symptoms watching this ..6 to go for me ..atb Andrew 👍⛰️
