SHARP EDGE - Blencathra Lake District - Doddick Fell - Drone ending.
A short film of Sharp Edge and @Blencathra returning via Doddick Fell November 2024
Not the best weather for Sharp Edge, but we were out of the wind until after we had climbed it. Any mountain day is a good day.
For some awesome views of Sharp Edge see my Blencathra Wild Camp film.

Had a nice first night out in the Storm Star. Adding to that, I met up with a like minded UA-camr @AndrewBeavers for a good chat, and a long stare at the awesome scenery. A fantastically easy place to get to and experience the solitude of the hills. Apologies for the quality of some of this, both picture and sound. Stay safe out there. John
MURREN VIA FERRATA - 2024 - Switzerland's BEST and WORST
Переглядів 393Місяць тому
One of the most well known Via Ferrata's. Much shown on shorts and Instagram pictures. BUT. Is it as good as the hype? Yes because its in a stunning location with some of the biggest Via Ferrata drops you'll find. But No because its way too easy, its busy with tourists, and the AWESOME bits are too short. But would I recomend you go try it? YES Stay safe out there. See you on the hill. John

After a week of mostly Via Ferrata we stopped off in the Vosges mountains. The Hohneck is a high point with great views all the way to Mont Blanc amongst others. The ridge isnt easy to see until your there. But its there! Not the most interesting film I've done, but it shows the interesting terrain on this fun ridge. Thanks for the views. Any comments and chat always lovely to hear. See you on ...

WHAT A SKY - We happened to pick a two day #Wildcamp window of perfect weather at the end of the worst summer I can remember. After our previous visit to Seathwaite Tarn, we decided to go back to the #Duddon Valley . #Harter fell is a gem. A nice approach , some of the best views from a tent I've had, and an awesome few pitches. Had a brain fart and left my cables at home. Resulting in a lack o...

First warm up day planned. It was way more than a warm up. We had a week to do some mountain adventures. This was our first day. It was way longer than we thought! An awesome mixed scramble on a limestone ridge. We used the rope a little. Mostly moving together. Not often needed. But on the whole a pleasant scramble. #frenchalps #scramble #mountains Thanks for watching. John Disclaimer. As usua...

2024 Alps trip. We moved from our original plans because of bad weather in the big mountains. Great week, mostly doing Via Ferrata. This was our second visit to This route. Last time we had rain and low cloud. 2014. In many years of Via Ferrata, between 40 and 50 routes I've only repeated 2. This was one. And well worth it. Stay safe out there.

Bit grim up there, John. Are you a climber as well as a scrambler? If all goes to plan I’m aiming to complete the Birketts, except Pillar Rock, by November next year. Looking forward someone to help me up the last one. I’ve done a LITTLE climbing before, but MANY years ago.
@@TonysTrails I do a little......😁. You mean for Pillar Rock? ...... I show a bit of that on my Pillar camp.....Ennerdale.
@ Aye, Pillar Rock as my final Birkett. Need a climber to do it with. Been up past it as first time I did Pillar was via the “High Level Route”.
@@TonysTrails ah. Yes it's a grade 3 scramble. Very enjoyable but quite exposed. Easiest probably would be top roped, after someone went up first. I wanted to stay the night up there but it needs to be awesome weather. 😎
King 👑 stay safe
@@oyzshorts you to bud 👍
Great video mate 👍
@@Tardy777 thanks. Very much. Not easy to do a watchable video in bad weather! ....I've lots in my playlist better obviously. But it was still a good trip. Appreciated
Great video and stunning sunrise 😮👍
@@stigfloberghagenphotography thanks very much for the comment!.... I've done far better quality. But yup it was a great morning 👌
@MountainManJohnFilms 👍🙂
Great summit is Red Screes . Brilliant morning views you got i love a sunrise .
@@IanSiverwood_SilvoTours thanks 👍 it was a nice night to try a new tent for sure
Hiya John. Love red screes, the sunsets and sunrises always look amazing Tent looked well, good to see it in some decent wind, looked really solid Enjoyed that cheers mate Atb Alan
@@54DegreesNorth appreciate the comments! Was a good first outing for it......bring on the next 😜
Nice video John, cracking spot. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼
@@Northern_Rockhopper thanks mate...... Was an easy one. Turned out a nice night...👍
Awesome drone footage and great spot for a wild camp. I definitely need to get to the Lake District for a wild camp video after seeing this. looks great. New sub from us.
@@Roam.Outdoors thanks SO much. The drone footage went well but recorded in low res. I was gutted....take a peek at my Wild camp playlist. I've way better films 🤣🤣🤣. Appreciate the comment 👍
@ that’s exactly what happened in my last video camping in a bothy because I had a new drone and didn’t realise the res was low, I was gutted! So I feel your pain🤣. Thankfully got a new one out this Sunday and the drone footage looks 100x better🙌🏻 I’ll definitely check out your other videos, looks like a great channel!
Loved the drone/music combination. Epic
@@tristanprenton8700 cheers for that. The drone for some ridiculous reason only recorded in 720p. So it's not my usual 4k. Was gutted. Glad it at least shows the wonderful scene 👌. Appreciate the comment.. I've got way better in my playlists 🤗
Haha. Nice one pal. If you’re using a GoPro just get one of those foam covers for the wind👍. About time you got a decent tent 😜. Looks like a palace ⛺️🙏🏻. I’m loving your big coat too. We’ll not lose you in that 🧥 😁. Cool you met up with AB. He’s a top bloke 👍. Give us a shout when you’re next up. ATB bud.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks Dave. Yes it was a nice rendezvous 😋. The tent seems just what I wanted to be fair. . . . That's one reason IM FLIPPING GUTTED. I chose not to put the mic on for most of it because I had the foam cover on. For some reason it was crap. Maybe not on properly I've no idea. It was only 15mph or so. Anyhow. Lesson learned!. The coats a Simond . I've had it a few years, took a punt rather than another £100 for the Rab and it's been great.....will do for a while 😅
You need to sort your sound out mate. Its almost impossible to watch through a surround sound. Enjoy your stuff though so thank you 😌
@@adge_ventures4915 yes I know. I had a choice. No film or bad. I chose bad because it was a lovely camp, and id not posted one for a while.....point taken! I really hate to put up poor quality to be honest. 😭😭😭. But thanks for the comment 👌
@@MountainManJohnFilms All good mate, no life or death. Still enjoyed it 😊
❤
What was temperature of the water
@@juliemcconnellogue4254 cold! There was snow on a few tops.....this was not summer 😎
MMJ. Respect!
@@ShivanKishan thanks for watching 👌👍👌
Is easy terrace to the right a grade 2?
@@danh2310 I'm away at the moment. I can't remember. But I get a feeling it's a 3.....it's on my to do list 😎
@@MountainManJohnFilms thanks John.. I seen it on that bbc program last week. Looked awesome and one other guy on UA-cam has a video of him climbing it he says u can make it grade 2. Looks a cracking scramble..can't see much online about it other than it's a decent route
@@danh2310 cool. Yes I'd not seen anything on it. I did intend on doing another film, lots of Dow 🤣🤣🤣. But never got back....👌
@@MountainManJohnFilms hope to see it in future mate take care
Lmao
One mistake and fly up

Wonderful day, wonderful weather a great watch!
@@westwest8090 much appreciated 👍. I thought the film would be rather boring 😎🤣. Thanks for the comment 👍
@@MountainManJohnFilms I enjoyed it 😂 I can do boring as well😂😂😂
Wow that really looks fun. Something with a difference. Thanks for sharing
@@kadadventures appreciated 👍 it was 😜
😇😇
Cracking skys! Looking forward to ticking off that fell.
@@jtoutdoors9888 yes it's not a big one at all...but it's full of interest in a perfect setting for sure. ...thanks for commenting 👌
What a sky! Thanks for the comments guys!
Loved that one John. Must be something about Harter Fell and skies - we had a stunning “mackerel sky” last time we were up there.
@@TonysTrails Yes Tony. It was Great. ..👍
Great video! Love Harter Fell for those big open views. Camped next to the tarn but next time could be tempted by higher up after watching this. Enjoying watching your channel, thanks for sharing. All the best.
@@the_north_is_ace1523 much appreciated 👍. Yes. The tarn was beautiful. But when no real breeze the higher platforms seemed ace! .... 👌
Im sure this was the same night i was on Ill Crag john the monday night exact same conditions..you wouldnt have seen me as id have been over brow on the edge but yeah it was a stunning night & morning a true pleasure to be in such wonderful places when its like that..had a chuckle at the outake at the end 😆 take care john atb..
Fantastic ❤
Thanks Andrew🤗...such great conditions 👍

@@andrewkingdom it was an airy ridge in some places. But overall a great scramble.....just knackered me out 🤣. Thanks for commenting 👌
Bloody hell john you’re mad
@@OutsideYourZone ha ha.....it wasn't that bad. Just flipping long....😂😂😂
Very useful, looking at shorter routes than the full traverse from a sea kayak. Thanks for posting.
Another top notch scramble dude, fantastic views 👍
@@PeeWee599 much appreciated. Not many mountain areas seem bad views...win win 👍😁
Wow. nerves of steel Yet beautiful Does Lime rock get slippy when wet? Or is that chalk, cant remember Amazing feat you, and Hamish achieved, despite your not quite 100% physical fitness that day Combination of heat and air "quality"? Amazing to warch Thank you for filming it, and sharing 🩵☀️🇬🇧 Ps well deserved beer
@@angelakenyon7490 lovely comment 👌. Yes it's great rock. Little like pummice. Great grip. Air quality great..... little stuffy as it was almost gonna do a storm. Very warm....and yup. Not fit enough. But we had a blast......thanks for watching and joining our adventures 🤗
What a strange ridge, I was quite surprised at all the vegetation right up to the top. I hope you enjoyed your bier😀
@@fredscratchet1355 yes, the trees came pretty high on the right clinging to very steep slopes and ledges. The left was mostly very sheer.....was a very different day out for sure...comments appreciated 👍 thanks
Love the background sound...❤❤. What's it called..??
@@sabimicaiah498 ua-cam.com/video/n9LgeoJE4EI/v-deo.htmlsi=Qtpmvc33YSLQCjly
In my youth I used to rock climb but the rock never wobbled like that wire rope!
@@fredscratchet1355 yup. It's not always a nice thing to pull on for sure! 👌👍
Every time you looked down my heart sank 😂Some amazing views. Great video 👍
@@PeeWee599 thanks very much. Appreciate the comment. Yeh it's a high one. But once clipped in I feel a whole lot better 👍😎
We got as far as Barisdale bay but then sadly had to turn back to Kinloch Hourn 😢 That would be 40+ years ago Love the backing music by the way!
@@johnbargh1523 thanks for the comment 👍. It's a fab area. Memories huh!
Brilliant . Only just found your stuff but thought this vid was superb. Nice to see another Southerner enjoying the Lake District. Thanks for sharing.
@@richardborley7326 thanks so much for the comment 👌. I try to get out 🤣. Thanks for watching, it was a great little trip.
Nicely filmed John, I’ve seen from a far this tarn many times when I’ve been in the Coniston fells looks a cracking spot, not really a tarn fan but could be a possible winter camp. 🤔 atb Karl
@@TheSummitexplorer69 thanks 👌. Yup I'm the same, way prefer the hill. Up above was pretty good though. ....thanks
Nice video John enjoyed watching. Looked a nice peaceful camp. 🏕️
