cheers Alan, its worth going to thee fells just for a drive along that road, its pretty decent and a nice casual stroll 2 hours max across those last 3 i did would be nice.. dunno what knott stands for but ill likely knott go back to most of them haha.. Dave did these the following day with paul, mary and derek and i was happy to find out that he did indeed find the bogs :D

aye a bit boring all said and done really.. scout scar and the mushroom is worth a look out along that ridge but nowt else to write home about.. wasnt planning on any outlying fells this weekend but am off sunday so was maybe thinking of a wild camp somewhere sat night if others were interested (mossy)

@@daveostlemountainman Hi mate, I can’t this Saturday, we are out visiting relatives on Saturday. Mossy might mind, drop him a message. I had a little wild camp last night on Hazelhurst Fell in the Forest of Bowland. If you’re up for just a walk on Sunday let me know and I’ll be up for it whatever it is. 👍

aye some decent summits, just about worth the 2 hour slog from carlisle eh.. cheers lad, tek care :)

did ya walk all the way from seat robert afterall?.. aye them 2 summits are nothin to write home about its the waterfalls that steal the show

@@daveostlemountainman We started at Wet Sleddale Reservoir. All the way over to Mosedsle then up Howes & Nabbs Moor. Back down to ford Mosedale Beck then up to High Wether Howe. Dropped down to the track back to Wet Sleddale from there.

the 3 around the edge of devoke water are nice and easy.. think al probably tek ma mother there one day, just 100-200m of climbing or so.. aye funny looking fell 'the knott' just looks like a hand sticking up out of the ground from certain angles, hence lotr... aye, thanks for watching, tek care :)

just little ones and ya start 200m at the car park so sounds better than actually is, but the paths in sections are not there so the rough ground makes it hard... thanks lad :)

@daveostlemountainman i love the name, Mountain Man, beltin name, keep adventuring😁💪👍

aye even with the knott added i cant see it taking ya much more than 4 hours is very easy navigation and fairly gradual ascents here.. quite a boggy path back to the car after great cockup so be careful... took ma mother to do this walk a few months back and we both fell over in it haha.. thanks lad, tek care :)

@@daveostlemountainman cheers mate. Will definitely be an easy Wainwright bagging walk at the end of the week. Did you start/park in Longlands? I’ve seen people do the route both ways but might start with the route you did if that’s the steeper ascent! Cheers mate

@@hikingmatt4113 yea a gate next to longlands farm.. room for about 7 cars, can be a narrow road at times so best going early if poss..

Middle fell and seatallan wont cause you any problems, great path all the way round.. Illgill is probably the best walk of all, hope its a nice day for ya to see down onto wastwater.. Youve smashed em mate, you will feel a massive sense of freedom soon and be able to enjoy whatever you want after that haha.. i will never slag off a wainwright path ever again because ive seen how bad they can get on these outlying fells but great stuff, pleased for ya pal.. tek care :)

@@daveostlemountainman good morning Dave couldn't go today it's raining and low cloud in wasdale Monday Tuesday Wednesday is fine so will be coming up on Monday tomorrow is great to but trains from Wigan first one up north is 10:40 to late always like getting the half 6 train gives me plenty time thanks Dave it's been tough at times but managed to dig in and get through them doubt I will be able to do them outlying ones don't drive could get to the ones what have public transport near them I have done 2 blackcombe and Whitecombe from silecroft you keep up the good work Dave stay safe and speak soon mate

aye some cracking summits on this one lad, ya start at 200m too from the road so fairly easy to get to... ya could even tek ya bike up most of em haha, if ya can manage high spy you can do any id say!.. aye thats the thing about sealskin socks, i know they are good but you do infact go 2 feet under water many times on these walks so am concerned they wont do much good and 25 big ones down the drain.. dale head and robinson shouldnt be as difficult as high spy, like i say you start pretty high up from honistor slate mine so a man of your extreme fitness will sail up :D.. thanks for watching, tek care lad :)

Sends shivers down my spine this walk.. haha, cheers lad :)

aye some of the best outlying summits here, ya gotta work hard for some of them but realistically there is 2 or 3 walks here so you can make it easier on yaself :)

worth going up there just for the drive, decent size roads and great views :)

Cheers, aye some great peaks on this round, maybe not all at once though next time haha

feel like I wasted the last 3 fells because as a walk that would have been a nice soft stroll round.. The road was fine but I generally dont like driving up these mountain passes so I needed to clean up the whole area to save coming back for a while.. Thanks for watching, tek care :)

Thanks yea the guide was spot on.. I was tempted to climb the terraces but didn't have the legs left sadly.. You two were the only people I crossed paths with the whole 14 miles so it cheered me up immensely being able to talk to someone haha.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

oh really, thats interesting to know... i thought it must be a short cut.. I just thought people who don't know the area would just stay on the A595 round to Gosforth.. Guess it makes sense banging a cafe up there now too haha..

@@daveostlemountainman Yes mate. I’ve stopped a couple of times at that farm shop, they do a mean ice cream! 😋😋

Cheers Mal.. Thanks for your sympathies am glad I could make ya chuckle :D.. I think the highlight of the day was in fact 'The Knott' just because I feel there will be very few who have ever visited.. Some decent wild camp spots tho as you start 200m up on that road so not much to climb with a heavy pack.. :)

yea the falls are definitely worth a look.. the peaks not so much but lovely area to explore.. thank you

well i plan on doing some munros in scotland shortly so all this wet weather karma im collecting will hopefully pay off when i drive all the way up there, otherwise i might just retire for this summer haha.. aye was a larl bit risky on the rocks but nee big drops or anything so maybe looked worse on camera as it was around the fall.. one to revisit definitely.. thanks for watching lad, tek care :)

thank you, yea, its about as tough as the lake district gets really this area.. good to experience once in a lifetime.. take care cheers :)

couple of cracking pitches we found next to the waterfall and plunge pools, nice easy walking to em too so shud be nee bother carrying a tent.. very noisy tho so might keep ya up the night.. Wish i got daves fall on my camera, it was like delboy falling through the bar on only fools haha.. thanks lad, tek care :)

@daveostlemountainman hahahahaha just knowing he fell was good enough for ya hahahah yesss you have had a few tumbles lately makes the vids class yeah gonna book a few camps in don't have to be wainwright's for me pal just a camp is good over there for me so if the weather breaks and you ever fancy it mate giz a shout I'm always up for it I'm down Sunday gonna have a few wainwright's off before my return to the mountain I dare not to name but I will defo be taking no prisoners this time and will have the mountain man cider with me hahaha

i think it must be the weather that helps.. things probably look steeper in wind and clag but aye i think the stones must have been laid last summer.. Av done the route up from bleaberry before, not much grip, also i nearly succumb to dehydration that particular day because i didnt know there was zero water on them tops haha.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

out of the 52 walks i used to do the wainwrights i think this is one of the top 5 easily.. id even put wetherlam in my top 3 viewpoints. ya didnt miss much on grey friar.. my profile picture was taken on dow crag on that route too... thanks for watching, tek care :)

Cheers lad.. yea i should make it more clear in my videos... all these routes are on this website www.walkingenglishman.com/outlyingfells.html .gpx files and maps etc.. pretty much all the routes i used for the main wainwrights are on there too.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

@@daveostlemountainman thanks mate. I actually follow the wainwright walks from that site but hadn’t realised the outlying fells were on there too. Still got a long way to go on the wainwrights before I start these mind!

@@Liamc86 tek ya time.. i felt a bit lost once they were done.. sum of the walks on that site are way too big to enjoy.. took me 52 in the end... 1 per week :)

@@daveostlemountainman aye we’ve done a couple of the longer slogs on that site. Only able to get across 4-5 times a year anyway though so the longer ones make it worthwhile. It’s convincing the lads to do them that’s slowing me down 😂

the waterfalls alone are worth the hike definitely.. thanks for the support, tek care :)

thanks for the update lad, glad to be able to throw out some decent advice for folks.. dont think u can walk through naddle farm at the moment but there is a signposted bypass path.. the only hard part about the next walk is cutting through the bracken between naddle fell 3 to hugh laithes pike,, tek a machete with ya haha :D

@@DAoutdoors cheers Dave.. some cracking remote spots up there for a wild camp.. especially around the top of hobgrumble hill where absolutely nobody will ever go... the waterfalls definitly worth a visit on a hot day for a swim but I doubt there are many 'non rain' days in this area sadly.. 🤔

couldn't film much of it as about 10 folk in there high on weed haha.. makes sense for what would have been a saturday night i suppose, i bet the other 6 nights of the week its empty.. :/

i had a similar route planned for my wet sleddale round but im glad i was persuaded to abandon picking up these 2 from it.. i know the bridge and that whole area is very rough walking and it saps your energy.. this route is far easier plus you get to enjoy the bothy and waterfalls with relatively ok paths.. cheers for watching Tony, tek care :)

yea its worth going here just for the waterfalls.. plenty to see in Swindale... thanks for watching, tek care :)

i said on most of these walks it would be interesting to walk the shap fells after a heatwave of sorts to see exactly how much they dry up.. there isnt much in terms of features but plenty of deer and some nice views south out to sea and over to the howgills.. but yea a feeling of achievement completing these as i cant imagine too many folk have.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

this walk in particular was fantastic Lee, am sure ud actually enjoy it if you fancied a break from the 'big' ascents of the main Wainwrights.. plenty of time to chill and have a fag and mebbe even a bit of a swim here.. but yea, the shap fells are now complete so hopefully i wont have anymore depressing commentaries on these outlying fells and i can 'enjoy' myself from here haha... thanks for watching lad, tek care :)

if ya want a little taste of them after ya wainwright 214 are done, id definitely recommend these fells.. well worth the very little effort, couple larl tarns for a swim too.. aye the rain had to mek an appearance at some point.. normally doesn't bother me but this was wintery cold stuff.. cheers lad, tek care :)

yea brilliant walk mate, might have took us 9 hours but because it was relatively short we were able to just sit multiple times for quite a while and enjoy the weather.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

I've read many posts on forums, some who have even asked the farmer directly but apparently he said he doesn't own the land.. just lots of jumbled up information.. there were a big heard of bulls surrounding it i could see on Saturday.. i dont think i have OCD so it wont bother me.. i got a picture of me pointing at it, that'll do haha

I am enjoying these fells.. Ive barely seen anyone else on the walks ive been doing the last 8 weeks.. very few of them I will revisit in my lifetime but they are worth doing at least once.. Its costing me views on youtube cos not many seem interested in them... they are not 'fashionable' but ill persist.. thanks lad, tek care :)

@daveostlemountainman never dreamed of doing the 214 but they sold them as well I won't feel completely done till the 311th summit

cheers ol pal, one to return to i think, mebba tek the farmer a dram o whisky, tek care :)

yea there are multiple ways.. wait for night, wait for a claggy day etc.. i just know how my luck goes... if i tried something sneeky al be caught and thrown in jail, i just know it haha.. plus besides the fell looked like it had a heard of bulls surrounding the cairn and i dont fancy fighting them for access.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

Back lane from Staveley in a storm in early December worked for me. The landowner is based in Langdale and moves his animals off in winter. Just a thought. 😀

Cheers Lee.. some decent spots to pitch a van overnight on these routes, so if ya wanted a bit of privacy and cant be bothered climbing the big fells these would be right up ya street, especially after heavy drinking the night before haha.. Thanks for watching pal, tek care lad :)

aye its a questionable one, just not worth the potential hassle.. i believe the monument was vandalised at one point so the farmer just banned all from it or so the story goes.. nice walk otherwise, thanks for watching :)

Great walk mate.. Makes up for the Ulthwaite Rigg nightmare, highly recommend ya give this a shot, ya wont even need spare socks!.. :D

Thank you kindly, tek care lad :)

Just seems like an epilogue to his lake district (214) journey.. written when he was much older supposedly walks for 'old men' and pensioners.. Focusing on the fells on the outer rim of Lakeland.. I dont think they are included in the 214 because making it 330 I personally think would put many people off from trying to complete them.. Cheers lad, thanks for watchin, tek care :)

aye great walk for everyone this.. i could talk about walls on fells all day, they are sometimes more fascinating than the hills themselves.. its just a time that i find hard to imagine the use of such things to need to be soo high up and who were the poor sods who carried the stones up let alone construct the things.. ill look it up one day, gather some research and maybe write a book.. thanks for watching, take care :)

@@daveostlemountainman Yeah, some of the walls are crazy. And like you, I'm fascinated by the history - well, the stories - behind them. For a long while I was just curious, but then I saw the wall that runs from Scoat Fell, over Haycock, and out to Caw Fell and onward - The Lonsdale Fence, they call it. That one goes over a few crazy lumps too. Must have demarked an estate back in the day.

@@auxbuss yea its specifically the one next to caw fell that i was kinda referring to in this video.. it goes right over a massive crag, much bigger than the one i went up on this video.. just feels like so much unnecessary work, just build round it for the sake of 10 sq meters of land..

Great, glad my advice has found someone, I think you might be the first haha.. Yea once the Shap fells are done I think (Probably) the rest of the Outlying fells are quite nice as I found that very much this weekend doing the 'Staveley Group' was very enjoyable.. Take a machete with ya for the bracken is valid extra piece of advice :d.. thanks for watching, tek care :)

If there's a medal for the shap fells I think you've definitely earned it 😀

@@marksalmon6773 tempted to write a book solely on these Fells.. and create a medal yes, good idea haha

There's definitely a market for stuff about these outliers. Up till recently when you started your vids there was only the Fat Boys on Tour who made the look easier than they actually are!

@@susanmarsh1128 yea i think the market will only grow as ever more people complete the base 214.. Fat boys made cracking route information videos, think mine are more filling the details in between fells, but ya right theres not much else... the big youtubers dont bother filming them cos they dont produce the desired views they need.. i think they are pretty easy apart from the shap fells, thats why i think a book on them specifically might be fun :)
