i tried doing the Hardknott this summer on a pan european. the pass was closed due to an accident. now that ive seen clips im sort of glad. but i will definetly come back to the lake district

Very timely, this video popping up in my notifications, as I will be in Elterwater myself next week for a few days hiking. One of my walks includes this path (or path, if you prefer)! Can we have some new content please Neil. You are starving us of your exquisitely dry sense of humour! 😁👍

Just did haystacks today after a fall on high stiles 2 months ago resulting in a torn mcl and climbing up with a leg support on was ok but coming down my leg gave up took me 4hrs getting down. Stupid to attempt it but just missed the views but i think after today my climbing days are over. Loved the video thanks.

I do enjoy your videos. You have developed a great conversational style combining history with route finding. You definitely deserve more views for your channel. I do hope you intend to make more.

Aliens

Yep, Hardknott makes the Honister pass and Belach na Ba in Scotland seem like a walk in the park! Awesome cheers👍👍

Hello guys. Amazing video. I can’t seem to open up the OS route via the link you posted in the description. Could you please copy in the link again or what I need to search on AllTrails or OS to find the particular route you took. Thank you and great video

Wow Neil, one of the best videos I have ever watched on the Wainwrights. Many years ago I ascended / descended the ridge from / to Ennerdale and have been contemplating your route, so stumbling across this is a great motivator!

Some of that Base Brown stuff looks a bit sketchy for doddery old buggers like me and the Mrs. Is it as questionable as it looks? I absolutely hate turning back defeated by my faint heartedness.

Neil, quite a while since you put a video out, we hope that you are OK. Or is it just the rotten weather we have had this so-called summer. Best wishes Kevin & Barbara

I'm loving these videos. Can't wait to get back up to the Lakes next year.

Done the mosedale horseshoe several times in the past with two border collies sadly long gone. My favourite part is the view from Red Pike beyond wastwater including Whin Rigg & Illgill. I’ve been known to sit several minute’s absorbing that view. Thank you

Where have you been? Missed your positive videos and chats. Bosh

I'm loving this content. As a Wainwright walking enthusiast, living on the South Coast with not much opportunity to head North currently, I'm finding these videos are helping me not to let stress win. Thank you for sharing.

thanks Neil

Beautiful ❤

Where is dudon valley

Well I did it, High Rigg was stunning in full bloom with the heather, it was a carpet of Purple. For not a lot of effort I was at the top and spent al ot of time wandering across towards St John inthe Vale and back. Wonderful

Made my day. Thank you

Hi been watching lots of your videos they are great do you use the all trials app at all? I’m no good at reading maps as didn’t know if any of these walks are on there? Thanks

Ooooh! Not too sure about that descent from Fleetwith Pike! If i did it in reverse would the descent from Haystacks be better or worse?

How long does the circular walk take roughly? Which is the best way to walk round to get the best evening light views?

What were you driving? Would it be proper scary in a motorhome Width:2.13 m Length:5.90m? Any suggestions of a goodcampsite near Buttermere? Thanks in advance

Brilliant video. I’ve been walking the Wasdale fells with my family (partner and x 2 kids). We’ve done, Lingmell, Scafell and scafell pike, great gable and Kirk fell. Pillar is next for us. It looks a bit hairy at the top! How dangerous /narrow is the high ridge to the summit? Also how’s the descent from red pike. The music makes it all feel like a walk in the park! But I’m sure it isn’t at all! Your dogs do great! Thanks for such a useful video! 🙏

Done it today, steep climb

What an amazing film. Cheers! (or rather chin chin)

Hello friend, I hope you are well. We are going to climb Skiddaw in August, but we would want an easier route that avoids the hard portion. Any recommendations?😅

I have just found your channel (liked & sub'd) and love this video. I definately want to walk your route with my partner and look forward to watching more of your videos. Any advice on where to park? I have tried zooming in on OS maps, but cannot see anything clearly marked. Thanks!

Catbells was my first Wainwright a couple of months ago. Epic views, but i absolutely hated that walk back down, my knees were not happy with me when i finshed. Although i was lucky enough to have the summit all to myself for approx 20 minutes

In 1965 my wife and I whilst on our honeymoon first discovered Friar's Cragg and did this walk many times in later years. We always enjoyed looking for the low water marks and sitting on the end bench devouring the splendid view of the lake. We have 59 years of happy memories of walking in Lakeland but sadly can no longer walk far but still managed to enjoy the valleys.

How long did it take you to complete please?

Planning to do the Cumbria Way next summer, so definitely going to deviate at Hawse End and climb up Cat Bells instead to get those great views. It's great to see this video to see what to expect.

Lovely walk. Superb video. Well played, sir

Are there any bbq/picnic areas here? If so how close are they to the car park? Thankyou

😂Techno bird.

Completed this one last week. It was my first Wainwright! I parked by Legburthwaite and followed the path from the south. I wish i saw this video first because that path was pants. Lots of scrambling. Thanks for the video 🐴

Thanks for taking us along with you. Lovely walk.

Always enjoy your videos - thanks for sharing - my wife and I did the walk a few days after you did it. I think the view from Low Fell looking east is one of the best in Lakeland.

You said it yourself. Absolutely beautiful. That's a fantastic view from Low Fell. A super little walk. I think it's one for my two young grand children to do. Spot on! It's one I really enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the time spent descending Swirrel Edge!

Thank you!

I have unfinished business with this Horseshoe. I attempted a solo hike on 22nd July 2023, My grandpa had passed away the day before after suffering quite severely with Dementia in his last few weeks. I needed time to myself the following day to let it all sink in. Getting out on the fells is my way of resetting myself mentally and I was training fr the national 3 peaks challenge I had coming up in the September so I wanted to test myself. I started at 7:30 and the weather was wet with zero wind, 100meters up grizedale and I could only see 5-10 meters around me due to the mist. Summited Grizedale and literally stood there for five mins…….. couldn’t hear anything, no wind at all, no noise other than my breathing, it was pretty surreal to be honest. Carried onto Crag hill, soon as I got up to the bottom of that all hell broke loose, weather went crazy, was getting blown over by the wind and I tripped over a rock and I slid down towards the valley for about 10 meters however that could’ve been more or less, happened quickly, I smashed my ankle on another rock and stopped. I hadn’t seen a single sole throughout the hike and still couldn’t see anymore than 10-15 meters max in all directions. Self preservation kicked in and I went straight down literally on my arse until I reached the path. I’m going back there to finish what I started. The weather can change instantly up on the fells.

Terrific!

Thank you! I really like the shots of the trails mixed in with the viewpoints. Wonderful!

The best walking channel around ❤ Pop into my shop in windermere next time you’re passing for a free beard trim 😊

Another great video! Welcome back! 🙂

Watched this video again today as it brought back happy memories of when i did most of this route over fifty years ago.I did an Outward Bound course at Ulswater,.We climbed Helvelyn from most directions but this route still sticks in my mind.Thanks for taking me back there.Brilliant.

Lovely! Wonderful!

Fabulous!!

Beautiful scenery. Doing my very first self guided walk there this December. Can't wait!!!
