Hey welcome to my channel a mix of unorthodox roughneck walking routes in my local Lake District Hills along with some more familiar routes and frequent trips across the border into Scotland and other areas of the UK.
If you like something a bit different do as we say in Cumbria and...

Mardale Ill Bell & High Street....Another fantastic Ridge Walk In't Far East (The Lake District)
GPX Download Of Route...

Mardale Ill Bell sends out a short grass-topped spur, Lingmell End, which splits the head of the valley into two.
The north-eastern face of Mardale Ill Bell forms the craggy backdrop to Blea Water. This perfect corrie tarn is the deepest in the Lake District at 207 feet (63 m).
Its outflow feeds Haweswater, joining with that of a second tarn, Small Water. Between the two, Mardale Ill Bell throws out the rocky spur of Piot Crag.
Two tiers of crag drop down to the confluence at Mardale Waters.
South-east of the summit a rough narrowing ridge drops to Nan Bield Pass at 2,100 feet (640 m), before rising again over rocky steps to Harter Fell. Nan Bield was the ancient trading route between Kentmere and the now drowned village of Mardale Green, submerged by the raising of Haweswater in the 1940s. Near the shore of Small Water on the descending path are a number of stone shelters, pointers to the earlier importance of the pass. These each provide refuge for one person in extremis, entrance being via crawling.
North-west from Mardale Ill Bell the grassy ridge crosses a wet depression and then expands into a wide plateau, triangular in plan. High Street and Thornthwaite Crag are at the other two corners, with the Roman road crossing north to south.
The summit has two large cairns on grass, the northern one being the top. The view westwards is confined by higher fells but the Ill Bell ridge and Coniston range are seen to good effect.
Blea Water and Small Water can be brought into sight from the rim of the crags.
High Street is a fell at 828 metres (2,717 ft), its summit is the highest point in the far eastern part of the national park. The fell is named after the Roman road that ran over the summit.
High Street's eastern side is craggy and precipitous as it falls away towards Haweswater Reservoir. There are two tarns underneath the eastern crags - Blea Water and Small Water; Blea Water, in a classic mountain corrie at 200 feet (61 m) is the deepest tarn in the Lake District.
A wall follows the ridge over the flat summit, the highest point is marked by an Ordnance Survey triangulation column which has been painted white. The view stretches from the Pennines in the east to a great arc of Lakeland hills filling the western horizon. The Helvellyn range and Southern Fells are particularly striking.

I would defo agree 10 out of 10 this hike andy ive been up that first stage past blee tarn but wasnt bagging then shame as i wasnt for off another im gonna do these ones soon but would like to hike this the other way and then carry one past the top of small water as i belive there is a few more wainwrights around there too dont no the names of them tho unless i could go up before the carpark and tick them then carry my way to high street and come down your route here this is a great part of the lakes more remote than other places ive been i left our lasses brand new kayak in the carpark last time i was here it hadnt even been open i took it out the van to put some stuff away and forgot to put it back in well some one scored for a new kayak lol class vlog mate showed it off brilliantly marra good stuff love the look of billy here when hes stuck a look to say away then come and help me man 😂class marra good job good drone action too
We've had this on our list for a while now but just not got around to it. Hopefully we will get chance on our next trip in early November. Especially as it's had the rock star seal of approval 🌟 we will most likely go up rough crag and down either nan beild or gatescarth pass depending on how far along we get in the day. It will be our first dabble in that area
Another great vid, Andy and Billy. We love it out round Mardale. We've been up the Rough Crag way several times to High Street then back down over Harter Fell but never over Piot Crag so another one to try when we're up in a week or so. Billy is such a good boy, waiting for you to help him out. The last time we did Rough Crag, we still had our beloved Springer Dylan and we had to heave his bum up a couple of those scrambly bits. He's still with us on our walks - got his collar on our rucksacks so he doesn't miss out ❤❤❤ ATB Brian and Jill 😊😊
Very nice video, Andrew. I've been thinking about a wild camp around here for a while now. This video has inspired me to do this very route. Cheers!
Aw you finally got to my favourite Andy. Furthest away from you, but much closer to me. I've spent so much time on these fells and there are so many different circular options. My usual route includes going UP the Rough Crag ridge. Definitely much easier than coming down. Lovely to see an aerial view of it all too. Another great video! Thank you 👏
Definitely 10/10 and such a good video and appreciation of very familiar ground for me, thank you. I probably know the Haweswater fells better than any of them, having spent so much time on them over the years. I'd agree that Rough Crag is a lot easier up than down. So many happy times on Rough Crag, some days just sitting up there overlooking Riggindale when the eagles were still in residence. I have been up and down Piot Crag and it's fine, as you say. A bit slippy sometimes on the grass coming down after wet weather. There are so many circuits possible using either way up onto the ridge and so quiet. Love the shot of Billy contemplating Blea Water... no doubt thinking how am I going to get all those stones out of there?! Look forward to more, Andy, thanks.
Keep them coming Andy, Im just about to try and do the Far Eastern Fells and your videos are so so helpful. Thanks
Great video again safe and sure Quite a few years since I did that area but it's so beautiful Also walked the full circle of Haweswater which was a slog Keep them coming 👍
Smashing video again Andrew, one of my favourite areas and of course quite convenient for me. Such a great route with so much or interest, I love Blea Water and Small Water and love looking down on them. I went up Mardale Ill Bell by Piot Crag back in June, but accessed it from Small Water outflow and round the corrie - I find the valley route to Blea Water can be rather soggy. at times! Always look forward to your superb videos 👍
Brilliant as usual Andy. I am coming up in 2 weeks and although I have done it a few times previously I was planning on Rough Crag up to HS then over to Harter Fell. After seeing your vid I might double back from HF and try Piot Crag as my descent route . Thanks for sharing. 👌👌🙏🙏
Ey up Marra, ey up Billy. Another absolute belter. I’ve never been down the ridge and over rough crag, only ever up it. It’s a cracking route. In fact the last time I did it there was a bit of snow around and the views were brilliant. It’s a cracking area, and like you said pretty quiet. All the best enjoy your week. 😀🥾⛰
That's this weekend's route sorted - cheers Andy! Another great video 👍

Thanks Andy. Lovely views. I have to say I love the way you trained Billy. Will you get another dog for Billy to train before he gets too old. (God forbid). I feel unhappy asking but it's inevitable. Few tears later. Take care and stay safe. Love to you all. X
Awww thanks Yvonne it's a hard one to answer...we'd love another but I've only ever been a one dog man...i know Billy would love a companion especially a la'al lady dog (lol he loves the lady's) Training Billy at first was impossible he was a nightmare pup I just took him everywhere with me carrying him on the Mountains from just a few months old...in the end he learnt himself and wow what a transformation it was like everything just clicked in his head overnight and the ROCK STAR was born. He's very special Yvonne we adore him...thank you so much... I truly hope through UA-cam his name will live on forever. Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and your fury pal Billybob ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
What a great route up mate, I love rough crag but that ridge up looks fantastic. Definitely one on my list now.

Thanks for watching and the lovely feedback very much appreciated 😊 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Hi Andy, We came down from High Crag towards Haystacks a couple of weeks ago, I found that very steep. Where does that rate on what you class as steep ? Is this walk more so ? Just so I have a gauge for future reference ! Thanks in advance
Hiya Andy aye Mate that's a very steep path down from High Crag the two walks are very different as the path from High Crag zig zags and has a bit of pitching in it...this path up/down Randel Crag to Skiddaw is less walked and more direct straight up steep through scree nothing technical whatsoever just steep definitely a path to go up rather than down Hope this helps buddy Tek care stay safe thanks for watching ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

That was awsone andrew tha ks so much . As fellow yiutuber i know how difficult it can be to film. You can see what an excellent mountain man u are as you can concentrate on the filming as your huking is second nature. And billy well nuff said
Wow thanks buddy for the lovely positive feedback 😊 very much appreciated thanks for watching Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Fabulous footage, esp the drone, and the music is so fitting, esp the Catstye cam bit... Billy giving it some welly there on the big drum! And you always make even a familiar circuit seem fresh. Believe it or not, I've yet to do Castye cam. I keep meaning to rectify it! Fabulous sunrise. I love those early mornings too, when you can get ahead of the crowds and any hot weather. Billy might have been some time at Lanty's Tarn and the beck removing all those stones! And he's so surefooted on ground which is tricky for a dog, he's amazing, and it's great that he knows his limits and also goes slow and steady rather than rushing. Wish I was as fleet of foot! Good advice about the chimney and big dogs and thank you for showing where the traverse path goes off. I invariably miss it and my knees and short legs don't thank me on that downclimb!
My absolute pleasure Irene thanks for watching and as always the lovely positive feedback 😊 Have a fantastic week Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Cracking video this of Helvellyn Andy, great start point going up past Lanty Tarn, then onward to Striding Edge, i personally think whichever either Striding Edge or Swirral Edge on descending is tricky as,the rock can be sooo bloody shiny & slippy in places, it only takes 1 wrong foot.....😮 Billy Bob 🐶🐕showed us how it's done in 4 wheel drive mode 😂 he certainly lives up to his Rockstar status eh? 😊 great drone footage as always, regards to you,Tracey & of course Billy Bob alias The Rockstar 🐶🐕❤
Aww thanks as always David Billybob is the true star of the show he's awesome to watch in't he 🐶 Lots of training on the Hills from a tiny pup when I used to carry him most the walk 😁 He's a one off David adored by every one that meets him 😍 Thanks Mate tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and of course The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
@@RockStar67 you trained him very well Andy. The training well paid off for all to see mate 👌
I've been looking forward to this one, Andy - and it's another cracker! Was a real pleasure to bump into you and Billy up there. It really was a stunning day and you've captured it beautifully. All the best, and keep 'em coming! 👍
Super video Andy and one of my favourite hikes. I love Lantys Tarn. I didnt know it existed until I was on a fell run years ago when we went from one valley to the other. A pleasant surprise. Billy was brilliant negotiating the descent of Swirral Edge. No easy path down there. Love how he takes everything in his stride and no fuss. Cheers Andy and Billy, have a great weekend
Thanks Tony Mate very much appreciated hope you've had a cracking bank holiday weekend 😊 Have a great week mate tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Another great day out on one of Lakelands classics. Brilliant views. That boy Billy of yours is a right old rock hopper, just keeps going. Done that route a few times and had a fantastic one a couple of December's ago in perfect blue skies,frost and ice. Dunno why, but I always think Swirral Edge is more difficult than Striding Edge. Maybe it's because I've always come down it rather than up. Yep, steep and slippery. Keep up the good work. Cheers, Ozzy.
Cheers Ozzy and your 100% correct Swirral Edge is definitely more difficult than Striding Edge especially in winter when both ridges become alpine then the walk/scramble turns into a full on technical winter mountain climb. Thanks for watching buddy very much appreciated 😊 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Another great video, Andy and Billy. Fab drone footage as ever and lovely to see that inversion. We've done both edges numerous times but going up - never fancied going down them so have not done the horseshoe. Might give it a go when we're up in a couple of weeks. ATB Brian and Jill 😊😊
Thanks Brian & Jill very much appreciated and yep descending Swirral Edge is equally (I'd say harder) than Striding Edge....even more so in winter when both ridges become a technical winter Mountain climb. Thanks as always for watching 😊 Tek care stay safe guys ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Just watched this . Thank you for the link. Trained my horse over these fells for Long Distance Riding Competitions for over 15 years. Sadly the partnership came to an end after 25 years in 2022. But me and collie Mick are regularly up there. The drone shots were amazing. So lovely to see that angle. Thank you so much
Thanks Heather we love these Hills nice easy wandering and quite...lovey story about your much loved horse thank you for sharing 💕
yer getting the hang of this now ;-). Brilliant mate, really enjoyed that
Thanks Ian very much appreciated mate 😊 ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Great video Andy. Was up there on Saturday for the 1st time and this really captures the memory. Funny you mentioned the possibility of rolling an ankle on the path down...thats exactly what I did! Got yourself (and Billy) a new follower.
Owchhh!...im always careful with my ankles I've had loads of turns over the years...not so many these days now I use two walking poles (much better) Hope it wasn't a bad one and your on't mend buddy 👍🏻 Thanks for watching very much appreciated ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
Just stunning, one of my family’s favourite walks. Absolutely fabulous video and I just love seeing Billy think his way around problems, such an intelligent dog. Wonderful stuff!

Hi Andy, Hi Billy, absolutely brilliant as always. Well done Billy for your first time on Swirrel Edge. You weren’t wrong mate, you had a cracking morning for it. I love Catstye Cam……a proper mountain. My second favourite behind Steeple. All the best Marra 😀🥾⛰
Catstye Cams a fantastic Mountain in't it Wainwright said if it hadn't been in'amang all the others and stood alone it would be the best Mountain in't Lakes... Thanks as always for watching Dave very much appreciated 😊 Have a great week 👍🏻 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
@@RockStar67 Yes Marra. I always say if you ask a kid to draw a mountain, they will draw Catstye Cam! 😀
@@DAoutdoorsand ya spot on picking Steeple as ya number 1 👍🏻
Hi Andy, another wonderful film mate, beautiful scenery beautifully filmed. Loved the way Billybob went bombing off ahead and kept looking round at you as if to say ‘ come on dad’ 😂😂. Loved the inversion shots, they always look spectacular. Thanks for showing us this one mate, fantastic as always. Cheers Glyn.
Thanks as always Glyn very much appreciated mate....he sure is a ROCK STAR in't he 🐶 ATVB Andy Tracey and The ROCK STAR Billy⭐ 🙏🏻

Another stunning video Andy! Just beautiful. Gorgeous weather, sunrise, views, cloud inversion, drone footage, music. The lot! And Billy is so sure-footed on the edges. You can tell he's used to the terrain. This is definitely one I'll watch again and again. Well done!! 🙂

Fantastic video Andy. Billy did a fantastic job of navigating those scrambles. He is brilliant especially as he is now 8 years old. Well done you for taking us over such hard looking terrain, it didn't look easy!!! I wasn't going to leave a comment as you don't normally acknowledge it but felt I had to do this one last time. Drone footage was great as usual . Thank you. ATB to you, Billy and not forgetting Tracey. X
Thanks Yvonne very much appreciated...he's fantastic in't he an absolute super star 🌟 We adore him...thanks as always for watching and lovely feedback sorry for my often late replys but I always do reply usually 3-4 days after I post. Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Great to see the confidence you give to Billy 👍🏻
Aww thanks Andy very much appreciated mate 😊 🙏🏻
Hi Andrew, Another wonderful video capturing the beauty and drama of the Lake District. Incredible inversions and that dog…we love Billy!!! Question for you. I tried to download your gpx file but it says no content available. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
Hiya Lynn thanks as always for watching I've tryed the link from the video and it's opened for me the link opens to a page saying no preview available with download under it...press the download and it'll open in an app of your choice outdooractive etc.. Hope this helps 😊🙏🏻⭐
Fantastic video Andy. Stunning conditions too, I was wondering how you’d be doing the chimney with Billy. I mind having to throw my bag down it
Lol aye bud that chimney is a bugger for a big dog...much better the traverse path although I did take a slip on that traverse in deep snow a few years back (that's another story 🙄) I lived 😳 ... Thanks as always Marra hope your all keeping good 😊 Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐🙏🏻
Well done Billy 😀

Love this route marra no doubts billy could not do this game as a nut that dog the inversion was excellent and the drone mad it even more better never done catsy before and yeah no camp on there lol tiny top picked a great day for it here when i spoke to tracy she said you were doing this nice early start the morning sun was class going up there and yeah billy a 950m piiiissssss 😂 class mate always epic views and not that i will be going up with a dog if i ever do the ridge again but nice one to let the fellow dog walkers no about the path to avoid the drop cant beat a good fillter i always have mine with good job again buddy
Cheers Butchy Lad very much appreciated... Haha 😂 I looked round and he's there taking a piss reet on't edge 😂 There's a few things stress Billy out Cattle Grids are his biggest hate...traffic on wet roads...rain and wind when he's in't house and he hears it on't windows 🫣 But Mountains Marra he's 100% in his comfort zone...the ROCK STAR was born for the Hills. Thanks as always for watching butchy. Tek care stay safe ATVB Andy Tracey and Billybob ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻
