    The second version of that story is correct about the sad event leading up to that Halifax bomber having crashed. The story is quite a long one but the crew had lost their way in dense cloud and had been instructed to maintain height as it was known they were in a mountainous are - and a "Mosquito" fast fighter/bomber had been sent out to locate and guide them to safety. For whatever reason though the crew reduced height and hit Great Carrs at the point now marked by that memorial that also incorporates part of the plane's landing gear. The resulting fire was intense, and as can be seen by some of those bits of the landing gear having melted. Afterwards RAF personnel were sent up to cut the wreck into bits and as its a remote area they threw the remaining remnants over the adject cliff. One of the engines from the plane was recovered, and used to be outside the local museum in Coniston Village.

    Been very low and depressed today, and I can't shake it! But watched about 30mins of this earlier and I'm now sat in the car park at Tiberthwaite 😅so thank you for making me give my head a wobble and making me drag my sorry backside off the sofa and out 😊

    Just letting you know I'm "THAT hardcore" and watched all the way through 😜👍🏼
    Haven't dropped a comment for a while but I still give a thumbs up and like every single one of your videos.
    I'm the guy with the Salawa Repace's you met on your way up to Blea Rigg, up Stickle Ghyll!
    Quality videos as always mate. Perfect to wind down the day too in the evenings. For the record, I love the waffling and it really adds to your videos so not a problem for me 😀
    All the best!

    Four and a half thousand people can't be arsed to give you a thumbs up. I understand how hard it must be to press a button. Even if I don't enjoy someone's vlog, I still give them a Like. They have spent time putting it together, something I don't have the ability to do. By the way, love the waffle.

    Madeira is beautiful but there's something about the Lake District which is unique to anywhere in the world, you seem to have that glint in your eye again.

    A grand hike and waffle, so many interesting things to see, the quarries, copper mines and great views. Some really good path ways, not forgetting having a witch snapping at your heels... Respect to the airmen that lost their lives. Thank you Glenn.

    Dear Mr BC, your videos are definitely’High End’, your waffle is informative, an asset to your videos and funny 😁 I so look forward to sitting with my cuppa & walking along with you in the beautiful Lake District. Really enjoyed your Madeira walks too. I solo walk a lot in the lakes and you have inspired me to try some of the more challenging hikes. 😊

    Hi mate. Currently about 16C here in Durham. Hoping to start my walking season over there shortly. Enjoyed your Madeira series with the lovely Dina but the Lakes is just, well, it's the LAKES !😁 I hope that 'witch' isn't watching this video, she'd be gutted !!

    As nice as Madiera was, there is no place like the lake district.
    We have a little sunshine here in Northumberland ( that's the forgotten land between Leeds and Scotland!,)
    Glad you're back on home turf. Finn would make it extra special.
    Waffle on. ❤

    What a great video, which we watched while staying at Brantwood House, Coniston. Tried a short section of this walk from the car park, then headed to The Ship for a beer! The landlord said “Hi” and has bookmarked your video. We really enjoy your videos and our short visit to the lakes. Thank you! :)

    Morning! Started watching your awesome content a couple of months ago and inspired me to sort my belly out and get out there. Last week organised to walk to Golden Valley pilgrimage walk in Herefordshire - walking for 6 days and stopping in historic churches. Not as far as you ya machine but for me anyway, your videos inspired. And yes there's village pubs close to each stop.

    Wonder if anybody else has seen the witch? See you have had other strange encounters on the fells. We once met an elderly gentleman with a german accent wearing dungerees, wellies and an ancient rucksack at the foot of Blease Fell. He asked us "is this the way to Blencathra?" and set off in front of us. He then disappeared from view and we never spotted him again, bright sunny day but he seemed to completely disappear 😮

    Waffle Edge...that's what sets this channel apart, in a good way.
    I recall reading Richard Adams' book The Plague Dogs, much of which was set around this part if The Lakes. The original book used Mr Wainwright's illustrations. A good read!

    That red haired witch story has some credibility. During the 15th century red haired women were persecuted. Did you see some type of forgotten entity?
    Thank you for making these vlogs. I love that you always add the gpx files so I get to follow in your footsteps/escapades.

    Loved this route and it’s definitely going to be one of my next walks up there.
    Also the Witch story was brilliant, although it does sound like it was a creepy experience. P.S please continue with as much waffle as possible this household is a big fan of the waffleidge 😂

    Glenn, I never hesitate to give all your videos a like! Your content is always great. Thanks for taking this 67 year old with you on your adventures. Have loved and walked in the lakes since the 70's! Stayed at Brathay hall on an outward bound for my company. Have fallen in love with the lakes since that may venture in 1975. Getting a bit old for it now but try to motor uo to the lakes whenever I can. Thankyou!

    Re. the Halifax, 50 years ago I was an Air Cadet and during a weeks walking in the Lakes we did get up near the crash site. The officer/instructor with us said that the Halifax was largely intact (albeit burned out) and that the crash was reported several times until eventually, to stop it being reported again, a Crab Air team bimbled up the mountain, cut it up and threw it down Broad Slack.
    BTW, the waffle is fine.

    Another very enjoyable Video Glenn. I’m getting quite used to your “waffle “ which brings your videos to life, though you do yourself a disservice describing your pleasant chatter as such.
    So pleased to see you avoided using words like “ absolutely “ stunning “ and “fabulous” over much if at all..( my personal finger nails on blackboard experience..🤣🤣

After six months of illness your videos have kept me going. The Lake District is my favourite place, which I try to visit each year. Your videos make you feel like you are there all year round. Thank you for all your effort and for putting them out there.

    Hi Glenn - Did this walk today; (Sat the 1st of June), absolutely loved it. Been walking in the LD for many years, but have never done the Greenburn round before. What a revelation !! One of the best walks I have ever done, I genuinely can't believe that I have left it out until now. It's a stone-cold classic, with epic climbs and stunning views all the way around. Genuine thanks for the 'heads-up' on this one mate. Hope to bump into you on'th fells sometime, so I can shake your hand. Many thanks for all the content.
