Your comment hit home about hiking now before you can't anymore. Now in my mid-seventies with wobbly hips, I long to be able to hike like I used to, but am very grateful for the many hikes and climbs I did when I could. Keep on hiking!! Great photos!
Really nice drone work Gavin! I am gonna have to make it up there to shoot with you soon. I am sure we would get along great on the trip, what could go wrong?
Keep hiking as long as you can. Im 57 and never thought when I was 45 I would be unable to walk and have to get around in an eclectic wheelchair. Things go to shit fast so enjoy it I get my fill of landscape photography from people like you out in the wild taking average photos. 🤣🤣 I am taking the piss you take some great shots thanks for taking me up the hill with you 2x👍
yes, do your hiking while you are young. At age 59, I got into photography very seriously. Now I am two months shy of 68 and I have major spinal issues and now I can't even get out of a parking lot or as you English say, car park, and I hate being old, but I still think I can do until I do it and know I can't. Do it now !
I pressed the like button because Amanda broke wind! 🤣 There was no need to carry bear 🐻spray as all the bears are running for their lives. 😂 I really like her choice of a hot pink shirt. 👍🏼 I've seen to many yellow and orange jackets in landscape photos. The pink really worked as any other color I would have not notice her in the photo. 🏆
Hi, the drone footage is beautiful and so is the drone shot. It is rare that you get that perfect light. So, I thought the moody sky and composition you took with your Sony is still nice.
Definitely Adam is your visitor...10% good light is the max chance. As an owner of Emphysema and COPD i find your climbing skills very impressive :-) Some lovely compositions!
I really do hope that Grumpacious Maximus will be visiting........you do have a great relationship with him........and.....there is every chance that he will teach you some photography......
Another incredible episode Gavin and Amanda, LOL to the "Trouser Shouts" and that climb was totally worth it. I also dig your perspective on making those hikes now while you still can, living life to the fullest is the way to go mate. Can't wait till your next one.
I can say I'm almost 60 and you really need to treasure every moment hiking up those hills while you can ... Ha!! ... Who am I kidding when I was in my 30s you wouldn't catch my fat ass up a mountain! Looking forward to the autumnal shots next week! 😃
Looked forward to seeing your weeks episode Gavin. This is better fun than handing the first wife her tea without any sugar in the middle of Coronation Street. Haha. I know content is a bugger to keep coming up with but the reality of it is harder than just pointing and clicking. Cant wait until next week now. Happy Days.
I'll never forget my first attempt at the hike. Absolutely stunning conditions walking up, complete heavy fog at the top to completely ruin it all hahaha. I swore I'd never do it again, but, we all know how that goes.
What a spectacular vista! The composition you found was lovely. As for the visitor, Adam mentioned that you and he had a project in the works, but he's the obvious choice. I'm gonna guess Brent? Looking forward to the fall color next week!
As for the bear spray, it is a very good idea to have some means of self-defense when out shooting pics. I don't worry about wildlife. I an concerned about dogs and especially people. Here in the state of Georgia I have had some issues when hauling ~$3,000 - $6,000 worth of gear in remote areas. With all that heavy gear I ain't running, and I damn sure ain't dropping it and running. And that gear precludes me from any meaningful attempt to fight them off without dropping my gear. At Arabia Mountain Park I realized there was a sketchy guy following me at a distance and trying so hard to not be obvious, that it was obvious. Fortunately I know the area very well and lead him into an area of boulders, trees, and rock faces where I could duck from his sight, circle around and lose him before he even knew it. I then trucked down to the trailhead and called the Ranger. When the guy showed-up 2 Cops where waiting. Apparently they had heard of the guy and were looking for him. They took him away in cuffs! I alawys carry "gear" for just this sort of situation, but I hope to never have to use it.
Another great and enjoyable video from you Gav, I really thoroughly enjoyed this one! Am glad neither the hike, the mushrooms, the bears nor Amanda's potent bean gas killed you or hopefully your sense of adventure 😅 100% you should keep doing it while you can...and hopefully you will love it one day. I really didn't think you guys would make it to the top with any light left - good on you both for soldiering on. This wasn't about the destination, but the journey. As always, thanks for sharing! 👍
What a beautiful area, the pano's look great (even without the amazing light) Looking forward seeing uncle Grumpy, helping you out with the church renovation!!!
Great video and drone shots. Hope Amanda did well. I am 72 and recently hiked up a 10,000 foot mountain in Yellowstone. You’ve got to keep up Gavin to continue to Chase Awe ( I am sure you get my meaning)😁😁😁😁
Damn, looks like I am going to have to by a drone Gavin, spectacular drone pano. To get that unique shot that stands out from the rest, great club to have in your bag.
Guessing it will be Grumpacious, which always makes for great viewing… BUT will that also mean he might make an appearance in Hardcastle Towers? Loving all the work, Gavin. To anyone reading this comment… On the odd occasion when a particular spot you’ve scouted has become overcrowded with fellow landscape photographers, has anyone ever cried, “Bear!” To shoo them away?
Great hike Gavin - and make sure Uncle Grumpton makes it up there too! It's certainly an epic pano location. When you've got time - head east from this location past the small islands and over to White Point. Some spectacular rock outcrops and a very easy 10 minute hike for the shots. Keep up the great work mate!
Hmm. You and Grumpy were supposed to do a "Hardcastle & Gibbs" series this autumn, so my guess is, it's Adam. Peak foliage is almost over here in lower New York. I look forward to your upcoming videos! P.S. - I saw the eagle!
Hi fototripper, I love the work that you are doing. There was an incident in San Francisco, where a photographer while working on a wedding was beaten by two-armed gunmen and pistol-whipped. This photographer never let go of his camera gear and unfortunately, he took a beating. Two photography channels offered up a challenge for the Community with Channels to speak up on the safety and awareness of photographers and videographers alike. You are such a Photographer and Videographer. The two channels that are talking about this and offering this challenge are Vahagraphy and 247 Media Group. If you get time out of your busy schedule, check this out starting with Vahagraphy, who brought this out to the community on his channel and please make some noise about this on your channel as well as it threatens our art and it is often forgotten!!!
I'm about to perish, oh the sky looks nice. 😆 so funny. I have felt that way when hiking before. Barely catching your breath and you think the sky looks incredible. 😄
What a beautiful view from the top, who cares if the light is not perfect. The efforts, the hike, the experience in general is what matters "for some of us" I think. The views in this video are stunning. Great job. (now I understand why you carried a bear spry while walking the streets of Lunenburg lol) Orlando.
That was a cracker Hudders !!!!! Great tutorial on how to make the best in iffy light after all the upwards effort. Having Amanda in the pano helped greatly with scaling, and the drone footage was just outstanding. I learn something new EVERY vid - wikkid :)
Awesome capture! That looks like a tough hike but I am 69 & just working on ridge hikes & I constantly am out of breath. I just get there slower. So Gavin keep going.
Such a beautiful view! You may not have had the light you wanted, but it's still a lovely capture. The aerial pano, loved it. Look forward to seeing more from this location. I assume gumpacious will be visiting...
Cracking video Gav, spotted the bald Eagle but I must say, I was out in Dunham forest (Manchester) today and spotted a pair of bald men !!!!!! Do I win ?

It's Adam! YAY! I love it When You are With Adam!
My guess is His Grumpaciousness! Would be nice to see the boys back at it with some classic shenanigans 😁
Really nice drone work Gavin! I am gonna have to make it up there to shoot with you soon. I am sure we would get along great on the trip, what could go wrong?
100%. I don't see any chance of conflict or drama at all...
What a beautiful part of the world. Love it.
"trouser shouts" never gets old. Absolute belter 🤣🤣🤣
Keep hiking as long as you can. Im 57 and never thought when I was 45 I would be unable to walk and have to get around in an eclectic wheelchair. Things go to shit fast so enjoy it
I get my fill of landscape photography from people like you out in the wild taking average photos. 🤣🤣 I am taking the piss you take some great shots thanks for taking me up the hill with you 2x👍
ohh that does look like a tasty location... add it to the list 😲... the teaser for autumn looks savage ... can't wait
Grumplestiltskin is coming to visit.
All mushrooms are edible at least once.
Twice actually. The first time, and the last time.
@@RussRead 🤢
😂
😂
Many eateries I also visit twice at the same time.
On a serious note, fantastic work. What drone are you using?
Too beautiful for words. I can't wait until Uncle Grumpy shows up in next week's vid.
I’m betting the visitor is your mentor, Adam. I’m sure he misses having you for an assistant.
That's quite the climb, wow...that had me winded just watching it! The next morning looked glorious.
yes, do your hiking while you are young. At age 59, I got into photography very seriously. Now I am two months shy of 68 and I have major spinal issues and now I can't even get out of a parking lot or as you English say, car park, and I hate being old, but I still think I can do until I do it and know I can't. Do it now !
Well said.
The narration voice is so superb. Love youre vids and photography. Have a great new week !
Amanda is a legend hiking up mountains with you.

Those drone shots were amazing. great job Gavin and Amanda
shenanigans, farting and photography! stunning images with the drone
Excellent footage from the drone and a great view from the top ,Well worth the climb
That looks like one epic place to kayak!! Look at all those islands!
All I can say about that hike is better you, than me 😁. Nice shots!
the last drone shot is the bomb! beautiful!!
Thank you for the episode! Your adventures are truly inspirational!
common Grumpton. You Know you want too. Miss you guys together. All
Definitely Adam is your visitor...10% good light is the max chance. As an owner of Emphysema and COPD i find your climbing skills very impressive :-) Some lovely compositions!
i would say Grumpy is showing 😄😄😄😄
I really do hope that Grumpacious Maximus will be visiting........you do have a great relationship with him........and.....there is every chance that he will teach you some photography......
Friend from out west, ridiculously stupid shenanigans. It can only be Uncle Grumpy. Beautiful pano by the way.
Another incredible episode Gavin and Amanda, LOL to the "Trouser Shouts" and that climb was totally worth it. I also dig your perspective on making those hikes now while you still can, living life to the fullest is the way to go mate. Can't wait till your next one.
Brilliant video mate and that hike/climb...wow, that looked tough but well done, cracking shot. ATB Marti 🤙
I can say I'm almost 60 and you really need to treasure every moment hiking up those hills while you can ... Ha!! ... Who am I kidding when I was in my 30s you wouldn't catch my fat ass up a mountain! Looking forward to the autumnal shots next week! 😃
when working out if mushrooms are edible I stick with this "All Fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.”: Terry Pratchett
Magenta and green. Some one's been studying the color wheel. Good eye on seeing that pano, and the aerial shots make me wanna go. Nice work!
What a stunning location. No mountains in my neck of the woods.
Looked forward to seeing your weeks episode Gavin. This is better fun than handing the first wife her tea without any sugar in the middle of Coronation Street. Haha.

Beautiful drone footage at the end 👍😍
Such a great place!
Great philosophy on do it know while you can !! none of us know whats ahead !
Beautiful images Gavin! The drone views at the end were just awesome and I loved the pano. Look forward to seeing Adam (I think) back with you again.
Really great drone shots!!
I hope the "landscapephotographer of the year" is on the stairs!!😂
You did well! Thank you for this video.
I'll never forget my first attempt at the hike. Absolutely stunning conditions walking up, complete heavy fog at the top to completely ruin it all hahaha. I swore I'd never do it again, but, we all know how that goes.
ah brutal!
p.s. I loved that Drone footage at the end....it was stunning!
Love the pano with Amanda, even though you didn't get your lighting. The drone videos and photos are absolutely stunning. Wonderful work!
Holy Mother of all that's good and photogenic. Those came out amazing. Can't wait to see who came to visit.
Great images ...
It is a wellness program with a photography benefits ...
Trouser shouts. I'm stealing that for my own use.
Sounds like Grumpy is coming in for a visit..
What a spectacular vista! The composition you found was lovely. As for the visitor, Adam mentioned that you and he had a project in the works, but he's the obvious choice. I'm gonna guess Brent? Looking forward to the fall color next week!

Wow for the aerial photos.
A reflection really takes some beating for me. Love that aerial one.
Look forward to next week and the colours.

Wow - that drone pano is amazing!! Thanks for sharing.

Guessing it will be Grumpacious, which always makes for great viewing…
BUT
will that also mean he might make an appearance in Hardcastle Towers? Loving all the work, Gavin.
To anyone reading this comment…
On the odd occasion when a particular spot you’ve scouted has become overcrowded with fellow landscape photographers, has anyone ever cried, “Bear!” To shoo them away?
That drone transition at the end....damn...SUPER JUICY!
Great video guys 👍

When you've got time - head east from this location past the small islands and over to White Point. Some spectacular rock outcrops and a very easy 10 minute hike for the shots.

Will do.
very nice pics ❤❤❤
Great stuff, looking forward to next week's episode 👍
Hope it’s Grumpacious coming to visit.
Man I love you guys’ life
Beautiful scenery & photos. I have subscribed.
Amazing video as always, loved that drone pano
Gorgeous drone shots at the end! Love Cape North 🙌🏻
Beautiful work, as always!
Stupid shenanigan's! Does that mean Grumpton is joining you? 🤣
I would say Nick Page
Great drone footage and an awesome pano!!! 👏👏👏
Yes Gavin, unculus grumpulus is coming to town.....Get IN!!!!
Loved the drone video and images. I can't wait to see your visit from Uncle Grumpy.
Hmm. You and Grumpy were supposed to do a "Hardcastle & Gibbs" series this autumn, so my guess is, it's Adam. Peak foliage is almost over here in lower New York. I look forward to your upcoming videos!
P.S. - I saw the eagle!
Noice, Grumpola on his way then ?
Magic from the G master! Deffo Adam, looking forward to BA and Murdock back together again! With you on the hiking. As always a belting video 😍👍
I spotted the first near bald eagle at around 0:04 - 0:05 seconds! What an amazing creature!
Great stuff Gavin, what a shot at the end. Thanks for sharing.
is Uncle Grumpy visiting them? The morning Drone shots are fab :)
Betcha Uncle Grumpy is doing a layover on his way to Spain.
Thank you!

Please tell me it’s Uncle Grumpy. Great video as always, keep up the great work and I’m looking forward to next weeks fall colours.
That’s who I was thinking.
Got to be The Grunpy One - who else would come all that way to see Gavin?
I don't care if there are no bears - if there are bears anywhere in the country I'd have Bear Spray with me!
Is Uncle Grumpy coming to visit???
i liked both pics
Hi Gavin, from someone with zero access to any mountains, enjoy those views from the top! 🙂
Great Video Gavin Amanda. :). More please
Awesome capture! That looks like a tough hike but I am 69 & just working on ridge hikes & I constantly am out of breath. I just get there slower. So Gavin keep going.
Daaaaaamn @14:30
Grumpton is coming🎉
Sir Grump-a-LOT!!!!
Such a beautiful view! You may not have had the light you wanted, but it's still a lovely capture. The aerial pano, loved it. Look forward to seeing more from this location. I assume gumpacious will be visiting...
