    Aww brilliant that. Loved it. I’ve done Wild Boar Fell and Swarth Fell but from a different route. The views are incredible. Mallerstang is my favourite area. I got a bit emotional listening to your story about your son. Keep going.

    Good to see you’re out and about. It’s a wonderful part of the country with three Dales 30 all within striking distance. Bizarrely my wife and I were chatting with a business owner in Kettlewell a couple of months ago asking if he’d take a card payment as we weren’t spending much. He said there was no reason to refuse any amount and that he actually didn’t want cash as it had become so problematic to bank. I wonder if the £10 min thing is just a way to bump up turnover; if so it’s pretty poor practice imo? Anyway Buckden Pike is a superb fell so thanks for posting and please get stuck into the remaining fells on your Dales 30 list 🙏

    Excellent video. I pretty much did the same walk as you last summer 2022, with the exception of Fell Head. I agree with you that the Howgills remain an undiscovered gem for most walkers who will usually travel west to the Lakes or east to the Dales. Once again thanks for posting. I’m going to continue checking out your back catalogue 😁

      @@ackosadventures2486 quite often the hardest bit isn’t the walks themselves but actually getting out of the house to do them. I’m hoping the walks felt like they were doing you good, so I hope you get out again soon. I think doing the Dales 30 is a great idea. It’s a decent challenge to get your teeth into, but also doable (at least that’s how I see it!). Anyway I’ve really enjoyed your journey thus far. All the very best.

    Another good one. My wife and I climbed up Great Whernside a few weeks ago. We started and finished in Starbotton walking along the Dales Way to Kettlewell then ascending Great Whernside using the same route you did. We then followed the ridge heading toward Buckden Pike but headed down a track to Starbotton well before Buckden Pike. The weather was fabulous and we enjoyed it enormously. One further note on Michael Portillo, I once went to a conference where he was the guest speaker. He was very charming and self effacing and I thought to his credit, he mentioned that he believed saving the Settle to Carlisle railway line was his finest achievement in politics. Thanks for sharing your walk; very enjoyable.

    One further comment that you might find useful when it comes to walks with less obvious paths, I started using the OS app a couple of years ago and if you download your chosen walk on your smartphone it’s brilliant for keeping you on the designated paths. I renew my sub each year automatically each year for around £25 pa.

    Hoping to climb Wild Boar Fell and Swarth Fell next month, so came across this video doing a bit of research. Similar to yourself I’m working through the Dales 30 and it’s been brilliant to encourage me to look further afield than the Lakes (especially as I’m a Yorkshire man). I was really touched to hear you talk about losing your son; I’ve got two daughters and I can imagine the pain you’ve experienced. Similar to yourself I’ve always found walking to be an excellent antidote to life’s stresses and strains. I hope you’re doing well and that you’ve enjoyed walking the Dales 30. Take care and many thanks for posting;it looks a great walk.

    Funny you mentioned Fountains Abbey as we put it onto our list to visit this year, it is over 40 years ago since we were last there but we live just over an hour away. I used to do a lot of running and loved it till my knees told be I had to stop and has been complaining ever since. Nice walk, canny weather and some sensational views, nice to have it all to yourself as well. It's a shame what a trig point has been fenced off, especially when there is rusted barbed wire there too, a pet hate of mine. Cheers Alan
