I really like the idea of the Yorkshire three peaks for a video. Would you try and do it within the 12 hours challenge time? I am pretty sure you would do it in less than 11 hours tbh! Great video and really looking forward to the next one!

Really enjoying your channel, wherever the walk happens to be! And you're right in that there's just as many wonderful walks and incredible scenery on the lower fells, especially during autumn. In that spirit, have you ever tried going up Loughrigg Fell up past the Lily Tarn route? It's a stunner, especially in autumn. Enjoy the current snow!

I'm to the South of the Peak District so of course that's the main content for me BUT I also follow Black Crag who mainly does Lake District stuff, and it's somewhere I really need to push myself to explore next year. For a hiker/climber that's a dream move really! Can't wait bro. I would think there is also more interest on the channel in general for Lake District stuff (and more competition!). I feel like as long as your out in the UK hiking and exploring, then most people will continue to be interested. Your videos on Kinder Scout pushed me to get out and explore it a lot more and now its one of my favourite places on the planet. :-) LOL@the ice axe.
