Latrigg really is a cracking little fell and so accessible too! I’m not a big cow fan either! Lol!👍👍👍
I hate the bloody things but did not notice I was walking through them until it was too late lol. Thanks for watching Anthony, cheers Alan
What a wonderful evening for a walk, sunset behind the hills stunning.
Thanks very much for watching and it was a real peaceful walk (cows and getting stuck in the mud apart), really enjoyed it, cheers Alan
Can honestly say Alan I’ve gotten stuck in snow more than a few times and got out thanks to the helping hands of strangers. What a perfect time of the day to head up there, the colours were beautiful! Thanks brother! 🤘🏼
Couldn't agree more Doug, if that guy did not help me, I think I would still be there lol, never got it out by myself. Real nice small walk but with a great view. Apprecite you stopping by ,cheers Alan
What a beautiful place to go for a hike! That was awesome!
Thanks very much for stopping by and taking the time to comment, real nice of you, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN I enjoy the channel!😁👍
Stunning mate! Those views... and the sun coming out for you at the end 👌🏼 thanks for sharing mate
Ash 👍🏼🏕
Thanks very much for watching Ash, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
This place, where everything is peaceful and beautiful, is the best place to purify your mind and body.
Being able to be with such beautiful nature makes our lives more abundant.
The sky, which is so beautiful as of the paint was released, is really impressive.
I sincerely hope that you are always happy in this wonderful place.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I always appreciate it and you are so right, as I am always happy in a place like this. Take care, cheers Alan
Nice hike and beautiful sunset. We have the killer cows here as well. Ha ha. Glad you got help out of that ditch.
Man, me too, or I would still have been there lol. On average, there are 20 deaths a year in the UK caused by cows, I hate the bloody things. Thanks very much for watching and your latest is on my (long) watch list, cheers Alan
Beautiful views all the way around. Thanks for taking us along.
Really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and comment, dam nice of you, cheers Alan
helloMr and Mrs Metalman💜some fantastic scenery!!! gorgeous lake and backdrop... that sky tho
Glad you enjoyed it, real nice comment and very much appreciated, Mrs Metalman says hi back as well, cheers Alan
What a great trek! Awesome views along the way! 👍👍😎 ~Maverick
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment, cheers Alan
It's like driving past that hill for decades and finally getting on it. There are a few like that down here Alan. Good to see you on this one having saved the car. Awesome views of the town, the plains below and the mountains beyond. That makes for being properly mesmerized - you know just doing nothing much in particular. In fact I noticed a bench for doing just that. Good going cows and all. Mark
Been going to do that one for years, just never seem to get round to it, yet it turned out real nice, cows and stuck car apart lol. The bench at the top is a prefect vantage point but very popular, it was still occupied when I went back 20 minutes later and by the same people lol. Thanks very much for watching Mark, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN Hey in the bag now Alan. Ha ha, you gotta book your place onto that bench then.
Amazing sharing !beautiful places thanks for sharing ❤️🙏🏽
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment. It was such a relaxing day and chilled out evening watching the sunset, cheers Alan
Beautiful walk along Latrigg Alan and you captured the setting sun out west really well. Who said the GoPro doesn’t film so well in dark conditions? I’ve never walked up from Keswick, always drove up to that car park. Cheers Mike 👍🍺⛺️
I was surprised at how full the car park was at 18.15 Mike, I though we would have it (and the seat) to ourselves. If I had been by myself, I would have walked from Keswick but though by driving up there Mrs Metalman would come to the summit - she didn't, too busy recovering after the car got stuck lol. Thanks very much for watching Mike, cheers Alan
I did this one on a fine day with the kids, the youngest in a buggy!!!! Had a lovely picnic with views over Keswick.
Really nice walk for a family, perfect really, not much effort but a sensational view. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I think this hike has some of the best views you've ever posted. I like that you have the mix of the town below with the hills in the background.
Thanks Josh, appreciate you stopping by buddy and it was nice to see the views on an evening for a change, something that I think I will do again. Cheers Alan
The summit look beautiful. I wish I lived near the mountains, then I often go up to the summit of the mountains.
You would love it, especially as the sun is rising or setting, it's such a magical feeling watching it. Thank you for watching, I always appreciate it, cheers Alan
Beautiful scenery! Nice walk!
Thanks for visiting, real nice of you and a short walk but a very enjoyable one, apart for nearly wreaking my new car lol, cheers Alan
Amazing, to see the state of your boots.... I can imagine that you were knackered.... I am knackered just listening to you! Brave Mrs. M... But then she is in shape and I am not! Oh, advert.... I don't want an advert... I want to listen to you and to watch the both of you! Silly adverts.... Amazing photos and you look great in shorts!!! Love the Sandwich shop too.... Fish and Chips would suit Colin amazingly well, the only thing she eats in restaurants or... almost! New beast???' Wow! Amazing views and clouds! Amazing sunset....
Yes, new car, on it's maiden trip to the Lakes and a real nice day we had in Keswick, which was a last minute trip, as the weather was great when we got up in the morning. We always have fish n chips when we are there, more of a tradition I think, although, we both love them as well lol. I hope you are both keeping safe and well, take care, cheers Alan
This looked like an enjoyable one out adventuring and beautiful looking area all around brother! You were right with some cool colors in the sky! Peaceful looking day out!
Really enjoyed it (cows and car stuck in mud apart), especially just before I had to go to work, nice chill out day. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Another wonderful walk alan! Absolutely stunning views from the top of the hill! Glorious sight as you said! You have the best capture of the sun too! Just amazing!
Thank you very much for stopping by and a real nice end to the day, well, apart from my car getting stuck in the mud lol, cheers Alan
Oh man, the view was stunning...and the light...!! A cracking watch as always, hope the motor is OK? T🙂
All good, thank goodness, only a couple of weeks old, could not believe I did that lol. Thanks for watching Tony, cheers Alan
I am always astounded by the beauty you capture that is all around you Alan, I must visit your country some day. I wish you a lovely weekend my friend.
I hope you do and if you get the weather, I guarantee you will enjoy it. Thank you for watching and your good wishes, take care, cheers Alan
Good quality video Alan, good craic and good views. Wouldn’t fancy walking past them cows either, haha.
Cheers Joe 👍🏻⛰
I hate the bloody things and normally would have turned back but too busy rabbiting to the camera, before I saw them lol. Thanks very much for watching and commenting,, I have your latest on my watch list, cheers Alan
Loved those rolling hills. A trail is a trail easy or hard. Its all about how you experience it. Glad there were no bulls in that field of cows. LOL. Some really lovely landscape out there and presented really nice. Have a great weekend end Alan.
You got that right and to be honest, I was so busy yakking to the camera, I never noticed the cows till I was right in the middle of them lol. On a serious not, two pole trampled to death either sire of my visit in the UK. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
That's a nice hike up Latrigg and some great early evening views! Sounds a pleasant circular walk too, shame you had to go back on yourself👍
Yes it was, especially as I had to go through those cows again, not what I wanted to do, to be honest. Thanks very much for watching Simon, cheers Alan
Another awesome watch Al enjoyed it very much....Latrigg on my doorstep and never been there although done Skiddaw many many times...keep them coming !!
Thanks very much for watching Mike and the amount of times I have been going to do this over the years, worth it in the end, stuck car and cows apart that is lol, cheers Alan
Lovely view from the top, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it and real good of you to stop by, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
Looked a really nice chilled out walk that, not too strenuous but beautiful scenery and views, ATB mate 👍
Not too strenuous, I was on my knees getting to the top and worse going down lol. A fantastic day's walking but I was completely drained when I got to the car but, despite me falling, I still really enjoyed the day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lake look so beautiful 😍 Gorgeous reflections. Very pleasant day and beautiful hike :) Latrigg looks great with stunning mountains landscape. Need to plan one trip to your country :) And what a stunning vantage point you are on to witness that beautiful light from the right . Thanks for sharing Alan
Thanks very much for stopping by and I hope you make it to the UK, if you get good weather, I will guarantee you will love it, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, wonderful walk! Shame about your car, glad that you and Mrs. Metalman are okay! Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed it! Take really good care, stay safe!
Thanks very much for watching and your very kind words and really pleased I got the car out, I though was was going to have to call a tow company out at first, what a, daft thing to do lol. Real good of you to stop by and comment, cheers Alan
Congratulations Alan, great adventure and what wonderful places !!! 👌
Thank you for sharing it with us!! 👌😀
👏👍 Like 88 for you and congratulations for the video
Greetings with esteem, Patrizia 🙋
Thanks you for watching Patrizia and taking the time to comment. Apart from my fall, I had a brilliant day out, really enjoyed it, cheers Alan
Awesome walk Allan... Lake District... I am jealous! I don't think I have ever been on a hike that went completely as planned,, lol
Well the last part of the day sure did not lol, only had the new car a few weeks, could not believe I did that lol. Thanks very much for watching Max, take care buddy, cheers Alan
Fab video! What a beautiful area. I love the Lakes. I can’t wait to work 2 days a week! I’m with you on the cows!! 🐄
Hope the car has no permanent damage. ATB - Julia
The car was fine, thanks, still don't know how I managed to do that lol. I hate cows, dam dangerous things and between 2000 and 2015, 74 people have been killed by cows, so I never take a chance with the bloody things. Thanks very much for watching Julia, cheers Alan
Moody cow haha! Top job Alan, real nice views mate. Cheers, Ant 👍
Thanks Ant and I did not even see those cows until I was right in the middle of them, too busy rabbiting to the camera lol! Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
i love the trail its flat so easy to walk.. i wish more flat area like this in Bali.
It was super easy walking but with a great view at the end, which I enjoyed, cheers Alan
I'll let you off this time Alan but I want it from Keswick next time, no cheating 😂 Nice one Alan ATB Phil 👍
Haha, thanks, canny view from the top, which ever way you take and the car park was still full at 19.00, so a popular stop off on the way home I think. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Very nice
Thank you very much for watching and talking the time to comment, real nice of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Looked a cracking spot Alan seems a great place to hike
Take away those cows and it's brilliant, ideal for a family as well, even in a buggy. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Great to see you and Mrs. Metalman my friend! Nice evening hike! Lol on you shoes, at first I thought they were different sizes! Lol! Thanks for sharing brother!
Haha, been bone dry for a week, trust me to find a ditch full of mud and my new car in there as well, still don't know how I managed that or managed to get it out, I must have turned green lol. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Alan METALMAN - Outdoors Lol!
bit of a dodgy start with the car alan but a great ending with the sun starting to go down. & no wind you jammy bugger been up lattrigg umpteen times always blowing a hooligan .we do it the other way round fish & chips when we come down yummmmy.atb
I would never have got it out if that guy had not helped me, could not believe i did it. Apart for that, we had a really good day, got back about 21.00, absolutely knackered lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It sucks getting stuck in the mud! Cool hike Alan. Too bad it was closed for repairs. Better luck next time. It was fun to watch the para-gliders. That was cool. Take care and be safe out there.👍
Brand new car, could not believe I was that dumb to do that, just as well I had help to get it out lol. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
a lovely evening for a walk sunset behind the hills is very stunning, like 98 with full view
Thanks for visiting, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Amazing thanks
Most welcome 😊 Cheers Alan
Such a nice walk...cows don’t seem to care for you!! Lol 😂
I have streak for dinner every Saturday and I am sure they all know! I hate the bloody things and never noticed they were there until I was in the middle of them lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great video my friend 👍
Thanks very much for watching John, cheers Alan
I will be up round there in November but I am walking up from campsite in keswick. Another one of my long walks, make it up as I go again.
If I had been by myself Tina, I would have walked up from Keswick but assumed by driving to the car park, Mrs Metalman would come to the summit - she didn't, to busy worrying about the car getting stuck lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely walk, beautiful colours! Have been to Keswick only once.. once I will finish exploring Grasmere area, I will head over to Keswick :)
Both really nice places but both can be very busy, so got to pick the right time. Thanks very much for taking the time to watch and comment Linda, I really appreciate it, take care, cheers Alan
I am absolutely adictted to your channel I absolutely love the content of every video I have seen sending you and the mrs hugs .. your american friend Haley ❤️
Thank you so much Haley, it's real nice of you and I enjoy watching channels from all over the world, seeing the different countryside and the way they do things. I always respond to a comment and met so many real nice people on here, cheers Alan
Man the sun peeking over the mountains were beautiful, loved the para gliding also, when can we see you doing that, lol.
Haha< I would not mind giving it a go, looked great fun. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Amazing views and another great video Alan. I enjoyed that buddy, I'm the same when it comes to cows they always make me a bit edgy. Your not the only one mate.🙂🙂 I'll check that channel it sounds good, both Claire and myself keep saying we should visit the Lakes. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend, Garry.👍👍👍
It's well worth the visit Gary and if Claire is anything like Mrs Metalman, she will love it. I was with a group 5 years ago and we were attacked by about 15 young, black cows, ended up 'going through' a barbed wire fence to escape, with my new £200 jacket being used to cover the wire, ripping it all over the front. I have never forgiven the little monkeys for it..... Take care buddy and thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely little walk that Alan
Thanks Graeme, it was, perfect evenings stroll to be honest and take away those bloody cows, I would have been 100% happy lol. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Lovely vid Alan. Not much actually goes to plan, does it 😀 I hope Mrs Metalman wasn't too cross with you when you cleaned your boots in the sink 😀 best wishes, Rob
Haha, I was lucky, when I remembered they were in a bag in the boot 2 days later, the mud had all dried, so just brushed off lol. Could have been a lot worse lol. Thanks for watching Rob, cheers Alan
Truly amazing 😍😍😍🌸🌸🌸
Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Great video my friend
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you film a sunset hike before and it was actually really cool to see! The footage came out really beautiful and the trail looked nice and easy and quite scenic. I film on the GoPro Hero 7 Black right now as well . I actually just pre-ordered the GoPro Hero 9 and looking forward to testing that out when it arrives! Thanks for sharing your adventure Alan!
Thanks for watching Eric and I will watch with interest on your thoughts on the 9 Black, I looked at the 8 but could not justify the upgrade, so will be interested what you think, cheers Alan
i have so called cheated from that car park with my daughter alan to latrigg summit with the great views of keswick love that town and have seen some fantastic sunsets when camping at castlerigg farm ps bet the air was blue when you dropped your car into that ditch lol at least it came out cheers nigel
I could not believe I did it Nigel and when I looked at the ditch, which was full of mud and both wheels were completely sunk in, thank goodness for the bloke who helped me out. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Hope the car was fine Alan. When I took my little one up Skiddaw there was a woman who went into a ditch there. Looked a lovely hill, not done it myself yet, but looks like some nice views for little effort (compared to the bigger fells). Cows can be unpredictable but those ones seemed fine. I had a run in with some cows with calves yesterday - a tale to come but I survived... they were very skittish though and I am glad I chose to walk around them and not through them - they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Someone was killed by cows at the end of May. Take care. Alice
Between 2000 and 2015, 74 people have been killed by cows, so I never take a chance with the bloody things, I think those were used to people walking passed but I was still on my guard. killed by cows. It's a real nice and very easy fell from there but surprisingly busy at 19.00 on an evening must have been mainly locals I guess. The car was fine but I still do not know how the hell I did that lol. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Best time for a wander with less folk around up Latrigg, bit of cloud cover makes it look more dramatic and for a small fell its got some super views over Keswick. Cows are highly unpredictable,so wise to keep a wide berth away. The tracks up there have had more work done on them so are nice easy walking now and less muddy. Probs head back up there in the winter time. Oh and nice car, got to keep it clean though,but you got nee chance over this way lol. BTW the Travelodge has opened in Workington now if you are over this way again and you fancy some Cumbrian coast wanderings. ATB Mark.
Thanks Mark, bit of a trek from Durham but when the light mornings/nights come back, worth it then. It's a funny fell, been meaning to do it for years, just never got around to it but trust me to go into a ditch full of mud with a brand new car lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great walk Alan .. i know what you mean about the cows , i,m scared of them too, unless its on my plate..
The only place I like to see them as well lol, I will be enjoying a nice streak tonight, never miss on a Saturday night, which I think they bloody well know lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
nice little film there Alan, a shame the evening light wasn't better for you. I've been a bit busy later so not had time to watch your other recent vid, will catch up soon. Andy
Thanks very much for watching Andy, very nice of you and this was a very nice end to a day in Keswick, well, apart from girting my car stuck that is, cheers Alan
I wish you would stop mentioning 'Fish and Chips' miss those so much - resorted to making our own now..lol. Beautiful landscape as always Alan and Im a bit nervy around cows - surprising how many people are killed by cows each year ( 20 per year - your remember that fact next time...lol ) enjoyed watching with a full view as always from us
Thanks very much for watching and yep, not many people realise how dangerous they can be, I am very aware lol! I can confirm the fish n chips went down a treat :o) Cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN you see cows in the field as you drive by and they don't look so big but when they are walking along the road and pass by the car you suddenly realize how big they are
Great video Alan
You got quite the climb out if that were nice sun set at least
Thanks very much for watching Ron, cheers Alan
Your video before this made me buy a bottle of whisky the craving was real ahaha 😁🌟
I love how green the grass is
Oooh It’s always a good idea to give a bit of time and space when someone calming down. It’s like the top marriage tip haha xxx
Your footage quality is fantastic I’ve been really tempted by a GoPro, although I don’t feel it’s really needed for my type of channel. What’s your thoughts? Xx
Beautiful sunset
Haha, I like a whiskey but Mrs Metalman is the one who really enjoys a wee dram.
Agree and to be fair, we very rarely have a wrong word and by the time I got back to the car, she was wishing she had came with me, as it is only a short but very nice walk :o)
You and Mrs. Metalman were fortunate to have someone close to help you out of the mud. We are old enough to take the cheaters way up if we want huh? LOL Atb, Tony
Thanks for stopping by Tony and you are so right, I may have been still there if I did not got help lol, I would never have gotten it out by myself, cheers Alan
Love the scenery and glad you guys had help getting unstuck.. Besides the sheep what other animals roam that area..? Awesome video..!
On the fells you get a lot of deer, which you need to give a wide berth at this time of the year due to the annual rut. Goof thing we have no bears or mountain lions here lol. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Great stuff Alan your looking well..great footage.. not sure about your boots...I paraglided off latrigg for my 45th birthday
..you should try it...got the guys number if you fancy doing it x
Typo, 35 surely! It did look fun but would not fancy the walk all the way back to the car mind. Pleased you mentioned my boots, they are still in the boot (carrier bag) and I am going over Buttermere tomorrow lol, must get them cleaned. Thanks very much for watching Julie, take care, cheers Alan
Nice one Alan ya big fearty, I thought you had been quiet recently. Bit jealous at all that you only work 2 days a week. 😅
Fancy upgrading the GoPro now the 9 is due out shortly?
March next year, I am packing in all together, going to take full time retirement, not to rub it in lol. Thanks for watching Robin, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN enjoy it mate. 👍🏻 😎
ooo yes there are people hahahah so 4 of you there
Too many for me, I always like it just for me and Mrs Metalman lol!
If Jack & Jill were to go up THAT hill ...... they're die of dehydration ..... Not that lake though ..... Where's my pole? ....... 2:46 10 past 6 and I'm already counting sheep.
Haha, it was the cows I was counting, not sheep,, I hate the bloody things lol. It was a real warm day and been dry for almost a week, so I got shock when my car got stuck in that muddy ditch. Always appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN ....... ??? ...... COWS ??? ....... I HERD there were COWS !!!! ......... Oh ...... A COW HERD ??? ...... Make's no never mind to ME if a COW HERD ...... I've got NO SECRETS from a COW !!!!
wow what gorgeous views! really great camera work, what camera are you using? Just found your channel so subbing now
Thank you very much for watching and your very kind words. I use the GoPro Hero 7 Black and film at 2K @ 60fps. It really comes into it's own on a bright, clear day and the only two concerns I have with it is the poor battery life and shooting in poor light, is not the best. Take care, cheers Alan
Why does the Metalman's car have a heated rear window? To keep his hands warm when he's pushing it - old Irish joke. Hard to believe Andrea and I got lost up there last year. What is it about cows that gets to you? Man up. Loved your sunsets. Regards, Ashley
I think it's the fact on average 20 people a year are killed by cows, I don't like those odds and I am sure they all know that steak is my favourite food. Hard to get lost up there, never seen so many clear paths before. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Alan METALMAN - Outdoors sometimes maps are the problem, cause us to miss the obvious!! You wouldn't get me up in one of those para gliding things though.
nice day in Keswick.. but no body out there only 2 of you?
In the town centre there were lots of people, so we went to the lake, which was so much more quite. Thank you for watching, take care, cheers Alan
Poor beast...
I could not believe I did anything so stupid and thank goodness for the guy that helped me push it out of the ditch, poor guys shoes were covered in mud as well, as he had just changed out of his walking boots 😩
@@AlanMETALMAN Hahahaha... there are still angels on earth! By the way, we never appeared on Lodgers for Codgers!!!! The handsome young man did but not for long! We were not going to take anyone in, as we are renting. Never mind, it was a lot of fun to do!
Im wishing i worked 2 days a week.
It is the way forward, 10 years I have been doing it and really enjoy the actual two days I do work. Mind you, I did 40 years hard graft before that mind lol. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
Awesome content liked keep up the good work and I just subbed feel free to check out my latest video whenever u Can and more importantly stay safe 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
