    I agree regarding cows Andrew. Me and the wife were chased when we were courting. I literally cobbed her over a fence to get to safety and then followed her. A bloke I know has been in a wheelchair for the past 30 years after being trampled.
    I've never been to high cup nick but it looks spectacular .

      Thanks for sharing Paul comments like this I hope people see....lots of folk don't realise the dangers of Cows especially with Calfs breeds like Dairy and Friesian while walking with a dog can be very protective...its a fact that cows are the most dangerous animal in the UK on average every year three people are killed by them... Thanks for watching bud very much appreciated

    I did the High Cup Nick fell race in 2019 we ran up the valley and down the route you walked up , when i clambered up to the top of the valley and over the top of the cliff i looked over my shoulder and the view was astounding, i couldn't stop to enjoy but did make a mental note to return and walk it.
    I think my daughter is interested in doing it with me.

    Marvellous stuff, thanks for sharing. High Cup Nick has been on my to-do list for ages, but when we're in that part of the world we always seem to find something better to do in the lakes. Maybe next time! Thanks also for the gpx file; I've never downloaded one before, but have just got a new Garmin which allows that, so I'm going to test it out!

Love Tracey’s channel too, her channel brought me to yours.I adore the Lake District and miss it so much when I can’t get there so watching these vlogs transports me right there. I wish both you and Tracey every success with your wonderful channels and hope to bump into you.both on the fells one day and maybe get to meet the absolute Rockstar Billy

      Thanks Neal much appreciated...aye Cows can be very protective and unpredictable especially Friesians and Dairy so I don't blame your wife I'm OK with cows on my own no problem usually just show them who's boss and they back off...with a dog though... NO WAY!!! I'll avoid them at all cost..

    One of my favourite English locations first visited on my South to North Pennine Way in 1976 prior to joining the Army, next visited on my 1980 PW North to South hike after leaving the Military, and last visited last year to celebrate my 65th Birthday Hike from Darington via road walking to Barnard Castle on my first day, day 2 Barnard Castle to High Cup/Dufton via the Waterfalls on the River Tees, for an overnight rest in the YHA. Day 3 Dufton to Kirkby Stephens overnight YHA, Day 4 Kirkby Stephens to Keld via the B6259 so I could visit Pendragon Castle, Day 5 Keld via road A684 to Hawes to revisit High Force followed by a river walk via Aysgarth Falls then back to the road walk to Richmond and onward via local bus back to Darlington for my return overnigh coach to Braintree in Essex. Loved every step of the way and only wished I could still do the miles. Thanks for sharing such magnificent scenery to this now acimmatise Southerner who deep down inside is still a Grimsby lad who watched a live tv broadcasts at 3am of Neil Armstrong step onto the Moon in the Summer of 1969.

Nice to see you in the north peninnes and showing us such a spectacular place which made me quite surprised that you were the only one there on a bank holiday, lucky you. Take care

    Like you, I'm scared stiff of cows, especially after me and my two lurchers were attacked on St Bees Head a few years ago, we just about made it to the relative safety of the RSPB viewing spot and had to wait it out for an hour until they lost interest enough for us to run for it!

    Well Andy this made for a great walk & what a grand sight that is !❤ very atmospheric indeed. 😊 The tale about being stopped walking over the moors years back makes ya think sometimes these old laws are just so bloody dated yet jobs worth folk still implement em!!🙄🙄The cows scenario is something ive fortunately never had to deal with as I've never had a dog with me while put walking but having heard of people getting into altercation with them ya did reet by steering well clear...obviously cows are just being protective just like any animals would be. Excellent vlog as,always with you & of course The Rockstar 🐶🐕 not far short of 500 subscribers...think it will be time to celebrate the 500 with plenty chocolate 🍫 😂😂😂keep on keeping on Andy 😁💯👍🎉

      Absolutely David to be honest mate I have no time for Grouse Estates or Gamekeepers or most of these old traditions including fox hunting of which I know been local still happens on National Trust land in the Western Lakes...i once almost tripped over two young Badgers sunbathing outside there set in the North Pennines lol Billy touched nose with one it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen...the set was huge masses of holes in the Fellside and on Farmland so seem thankfully not all Farmers hate them...everything has its place and a right to live free.

    High Cup Nick is something special isn't it! Can't beat the North Pennines. If I didn't live in the South Lakes I'd live up there.
    Regarding gamekeepers, I've no respect for any of them or the owners of the grouse moors. The monoculture they "preserve" is a wasteland kept that way for the murder of defenceless creature's. It is also funded to large extent by "dirty money"...rant over!

    Epic example of glaciation and as you rightly said probably the finest in the UK(walked from dufton past the ''nick'' and to cauldron snout and back on a wet midge-ridden day 2years back) you managed to get great conditions 👌 most keepers would have seen your dog is under control and left you alone, he sounded like a right ''yes-man'' to his employer who was no doubt a self-entitled dick, anyway mate 'it is what it is''............cracking views and drone footage Andy. The grey-blue dolerite craggs are fabulous mate, and I didnt stand on the outcrops either lol..........Now me and you have something in common.....an aversion to cows(especially with a dog) and I often detour to avoid them, folk dont realise how fast a cow can move when it wants to and young bullocks(just being nosey) can get very frisky, cant argue with almost a ton of beef or dairy, any way Andy really enjoyed this video and your thoughts about the area and other countryside matters......moving on to your next video so will be commenting again soon................ATB............Stu/Wendy......👌👌👍👍

      @@RockStar67 Ha,ha.....yeah COWS, I cant tell you how more miles I have walked because of cow-detours lol.........I used to work in land-management(on a pheasant shoot in north-yorks for my sins, no other work available at the time)......anyway they also had two herds of belted-galloways and for the most part they were quite placid but on two occasions I got cornered by them and had to dive over a 4ft wire fence/ crawl under a hawthorn/blackthorn thicket to safety, the cattle carried on their rampage to the nearest 5bar gate and smashed throught it, I had my Labrador with me and she jumped the fence lol, proper shat myself lol..................later that day the gamekeeper(he was proud of the red-kites and merlins on his watch, different from the Grouse shoots they eradicate everything) was telling me how they almost killed his 12yr old son earlier that week in similar circumstances...............so dont trust them too much mate. I reckon grouse shoots are on borrowed time, its only because of tory governments that keep blocking new laws to ban them, after all its 'toffs' looking after their mates.............but pheasant and partridge shoots will be much more difficult to ban because they dont shoot wild birds(they get shipped in from france and spain either as poults or eggs) there are other ways to ban shooting for example campaigning to get swathes of land into SSSI's (sites of special scientific interest) as you cant touch those areas, manage etc, many trusts are now doing that, loads of grouse shoots are'nt actually owned by the companies that organise shoots they just lease the land. I agree with you, they need banning but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime(im 60) we can only live in hope Andy....👍
