    Evening John.
    We are at the end of another NHS week and catching up on our favourite youtube videos.
    Thank you for bringing one of tbe favourite areas of the lakes to our living room after the challenging working week.
    Just watched a brilliantly put together account of the route.
    Stunning. Thank you. 😊

    I really do look forward to these vlogs. They are brilliant and like being in the Lakes. I admire your courage finding those lines off the back of Scarfell. I did laugh a lot a the “Swin-stickle” - I’am am still laughing😂😂😂. Has all the snow now gone? Appreciate all the effort that goes into getting these out. I do like ‘shoe talk’ jacket talk would be good. I have ordered the 360 socks as always have wet and cold feet when venturing off the paths. Looking forward to the next one. Top man 👍🙌

    Superb effort - that last edit through the gate, at around the 35:00 min mark, ticked all the boxes.

    Cracking video Joh. The irocks are working their magic (& waterproof socks doing their job!)
    Intrigued by this line off SP to FGT. Wonder how much is in it?
    Some tricky route finding on a chunk of the route if in the clag on race day...
    Pike O'Blisco is like the blooming Bermuda Triangle for me, it's always at the end of a race and it is a complex hill if your mind is tired. Found some lines I never want to repeat 🤣
    Sterling work 👍

      Tbh mate I’m not so sure about the waterproof socks.. your feet get wet eventually and I find them less comfortable than a good pair of mid weight wet socks.. but then they’re slightly warmer when wet especially in snow.. they’re trial and error ☺️

    Heya John. I have a little experience re BGR's. From that I would say The Lords Rake is the quicker of the two ways of getting to Sca fell summit definitely worth a test on one of ur recce's

    great video although hubby thinks you're now trolling us with yet another patched jacket 🤣 more importantly though, how did the waterproof socks work out? 🤷‍♀

    • @lakelandtrailrunner
      @lakelandtrailrunner  9 месяцев назад +1

      Haha this jacket is new! I had it less than a week before I snagged it 😂 waterproof socks are more like a wetsuit sock. Your feet will get wet eventually however, they’ll be marginally warmer than if you wore normal socks 😉

      I’m using the Salomon adv skin 12. Brilliant pack almost 3 years old now

    I keep debating about waterproof socks,but they are so expensive.
    Did your feet remain dry through the streams/river crossings?
    What's your recommendation for brand?

    • @JS-JackSparra21
      @JS-JackSparra21 9 месяцев назад +2

      I have a gazillion pairs of different flavours (although the 360s are new to me). My main take on these is that they aren’t waterproof (for long). Where they do come into their own is in the prevention of grit particles from getting to your feet. No matter what you run through, your feet will remain squeaky clean and won’t suffer from friction/hotspots/blisters caused by dirt ingress. When you do get wet, the socks act like a wetsuit in keeping your feet relatively warm. If you match them with proper gaiters, you’ll stay relatively dry fording deep streams, but many models will also let in water at the top. Those that don’t usually have a silicon band at the hem that can actually cause “wellie rash”, which is a particularly sore experience in the post-run shower 🙄

      @@JS-JackSparra21 yeah I second this.. they end up acting like a wetsuit for your feet. Feet will eventually get damp/wet but they’ll stay warmer than without. However I have noticed on longer runs they’ll start to chew my feet causing blisters etc whereas if I’m wearing a good quality normal sock I.e a mid/light weight hiking sock I don’t get blisters regardless of how wet my feet are.

    Lovely video. I agree about loops on Strava, can't be doing with out-and-back lines!
