    Spectacular views from High Stile ridge, the dappled sunlight racing across the mountains is something else. Absolutely beautiful.

    This is my favourite section of the Lakes, nothing beats going from High Crag to Red Pike and then descending to Buttermere.

    Fantastic video and superb photos. The views were fantastic. I did a walk from Honister pass via Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks, High Stile, High Crag and Red Pike down to Buttermere a few years ago in awful weather and was in low cloud for the high Crag to Red Pike ridge and had no views whatsoever. I remember the descent from Red Pike to Buttermere was horrendous. Really enjoy watching your vlogs.

    I used to watch your videos a lot -- but I stopped watching because I wasn't too keen on the curve of the wide-angle view as it's unrealistic, but now you haven't got it on these couple of recent videos I've started watching your videos again haha.
    Everything else about your videos is spot on and love how you do them. Please keep it like this :) :)

Doing the Newlands Horseshoe in a couple of weeks after watching your vlog. Your photography skills are tremendous…. Keep on trekking buddy.

    We did this walk a couple of years ago but the opposite way - could not find the path down from Dodd at all - ended up coming around by the wall and down by Sour Milk gill - horrendous.

    So that's what the views are like 🤩 we went up the side of scale force when we did it. Part of the path had fallen into scale force so had to pull off a bit of a dodgy manoeuvre clutching lucky heather. Then when we got up top the weather came in and it was a complete white out until we dropped down the other side. Still a great day out though and looking forward to doing it again on a clear day. Probably up past bleaberry tarn onto the saddle. Heading to the lakes on Monday. Can't wait🙌🏻
