Thanks David, it is a really good walk with great views all the way. A steep climb up to Red Pike, but well worth the effort. Thanks for watching & for the kind comments, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Just did this walk on Sunday,it's a fantastic walk with some great views, probably up there with one of my most enjoyable walks, although a good bit of descent to join the path from haystacks was a bit of a chew,another top video Eddie
Hi Jason, thanks. I agree, it is a great walk with stunning views. It is definitely a walk I will be doing again some time. Pleased you enjoyed doing this walk. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Thank you. This is a great walk with stunning views all the way. Definitely a walk we will be doing again. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie. That must be one of the loveliest walks in The Lakes. The views over to Grasmoor and the other North Western Fells are breathtaking. Your photography does full justice to the views and you couldn’t have had better weather conditions. I could watch this video again and again. Thanks for sharing your walk.
Hi Paul, yes I agree it is a superb walk with great views all the way. Quite steep heading up to Red Pike and steep going down High Crag but well worth it for the views. The weather certainly helped, for a February morning it was great weather. Thank you again for watching & for the really positive comments, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Very enjoyable re watch of this and after Helvellyn, Nethermost Pike and Dollywaggon Pike yesterday, I fancy this if I get a nice day next week before I am back at work on Thursday. Looked a very steep descent on loose scree mind, cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. Yes I saw some of your Helvellyn photos on Carol's Facebook last night. Sounds like you had a good day. We have done Nethermost Pike, but not been along to Dollywaggon Pike yet. I really like this Buttermere walk, I have done this a couple of times now. It is fairly steep coming down from High Crag, but from what I can remember it does not last too long. Thanks for watching and commenting on this again Alan. Looking forward to seeing your latest adventure on Helvellyn etc. We had a laugh at your BBQ and camping videos, sounds like you were freezing when you could not get in the house at 3 in the morning! Cheers. Eddie.
Wonderful video Eddie. I’ve walked around Buttermere and up Haystacks and Fleetwith Pike many times, but never done the Red Pike ridge walk. After watching this vid it’s definitely on my to do list. Your vlogs definitely improve my mood during these crazy times. Please keep filming, much appreciated.
Thanks Jon. It's a cracking walk with fantastic views, a bit steep going up to Red Pike and also coming down from High Crag, but well worth it. Thanks for the kind comments Jon, it is appreciated. I am pleased the videos are of some help during these difficult times, I think we are all looking forward to getting back to normal again. Take care. Cheers. Eddie
Relaxing videos. Love the way you label all the peaks -- very useful! Yewbarrow is my favourite hill to photograph. Not yet climbed it, but will next year.
Thank you for the kind comments Wayne, much appreciated. This Buttermere Ridge walk is superb. I can understand why you like to photograph Yewbarrow, it looks superb and is part of that "classic" shot of Wast Water. I have climbed Yewbarrow a few times now, it is tricky in places but the views are superb and well worth the effort. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie. We did this walk yesterday the 10th. I thought those steps up to Bleaberry Tarn would never stop :o) Met some lovely people on the way. One poor lady just couldn't quite make it up to the top of Red Pike. I was gutted for her really. Got to the top of High Stile when the mist came down could barely see over five yards. I said to my mate here there's a couple coming towards us. As we got nearer they turned out to be mountain goats ha ha. It cleared after 5 or 10 minutes so didn't spoil the views. Thought the climb down from High Crag was hard work simply because of the length it went on. I went down Scarth Gap sat down ha ha ha. This was a great walk with terrific views. Not to be missed although would have preferred your weather :o) Thanks for posting this fabulous video. Keep on smiling David
Hi David, pleased you did this walk and enjoyed it. I know what you mean about the route up to the Tarn, it is quite steep in places and also the path from the Tarn up to the summit of Red Pike is steep. It is worth it though once you get to Red Pike, as the walk along the ridge to High Crag is superb. The descent from High Crag can be a bit tricky. Great to hear about your walk and thanks for letting me know how you got on. Take care & thanks again. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks for the positive feedback Bob. This is a great walk with great views all the way. We both had a great day. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks for the kind comments. This was a great walk with great views all the way. Looking forward to getting back on the fells again. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Alan, it is a great walk with superb views all the way. A bit steep going up to Red Pike, but worth the effort. Definitely worth saving for good weather, to get the best views, Thanks for watching & commenting Alan, it is appreciated. Hope you enjoy the walk. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Ian, yes you're right, it is a cracking walk and well worth doing on a good day to get the great views. Thanks for watching & commenting. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie. This looks like a superb walk. The views are absolutely stunning. Got the young grandchildren up at the minute (first time since January.) Plan on doing this in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait.
Hi David. This is a great walk and one I have done a couple of times now. The views are superb. It is a bit steep heading up to Red Pike and again going down from High Crag, but nothing too difficult. It is well worth doing. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Alan. It's a cracking walk I have done a couple of times. It is well worth doing on a good day as the views are great all the way. Yes, I think we are all ready to get back to some normality. Thanks for watching and for the kind comments. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Jon. It is a great walk with fantastic views. Looks like it is going to be good weather for you. Hope it goes well, If you get a chance I would be interested in how you got on with the walk. Good Luck! Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 hi Eddie, back in our cottage now after a full day’s walking. It’s a great walk, but not for the faint of heart. The last few hundred metres up to Red Pike and the first few hundred metres coming off High Crag are a little sketchy, but all in all it’s a cracking trail. We also went across to Gatesgarth for an ice cream and walked back along the far shore back to Buttermere village. We were also lucky to enjoy some Eddie Caisley sun shine! Take care Eddie.
@@jonm4989 Hi Jon, pleased you had a good day. I bet that Ice Cream was nice after the walk. You are right about the climb up to Red Pike and the descent from High Crag, they are both steep! Pleased you had " Caisley Weather" ha! The views on that walk are superb. I was on Scafell Pike yesterday ( Monday) had a cracking day. Take Care and enjoy your time at the Lakes. Cheers. Eddie.
I love a ridge walk and this has to be one of the best, although the Buttermire ground flood circuit is Mrs MetalMan's favorite walk. You managed to get that weather again, although it was nice that Carol was able to share it with you, hike, weather and video, all superb! Cheers Alan
Thanks Alan. This was a great walk, we both thoroughly enjoyed the day. The weather and views were great all day. We ended up in the bar of the Bridge Hotel in Buttermere after the walk for some light refreshments before the drive home (soft drinks of course, ha!) Thanks again for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
One of my favourite areas of the lakes Eddie(I do watch a lot of your vids, however have'nt had time to comment lately), tremendous weather for Feb mate, sensational views throughout. I feel you deserve a lot more views and subs, takes a lot of effort both physically and thoughfully for the final edit too, cracking piece of videography, also thanks to your ever present walking partner......heck of a day out mate......ATB..Stu.
Thanks Stu, I really appreciate your positive feedback. You are right about the editing, it takes a lot of time and effort, but I enjoy doing the videos. This was a great day, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks again. Take Care. Eddie.
Awesome hike Eddie, and incredible weather for February! Looks like you had the place to yourselves, the end shot with the reflections was stunning! 👍👍👍 Cheers Anthony
Thanks Anthony, you are right about the weather, it was hard to believe it was still February, back to normal "cold" weather now though! It was a great day with great views all the way. Buttermere was so calm when we came down off the fells and with the evening sun, it looked fabulous. Thanks again for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Graham. We really enjoyed the day. It is a really good walk with great views all the way. Hope to catch up with you in April. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers. Eddie.
What a fantastic video Eddie. I visited the Lake District recently, first time in 45 years, and was totally smitten by the place. Although we did a good bit of exploring the chances of me getting up onto those high places are slim so watching your videos is the nearest I'm going to get. Mind you, the weather wasn't anywhere near as good as you had here. I watched one of your earlier films which was very good but using stabilisation takes it to a whole new level, fantastic quality. Thanks for sharing your walks, they are inspiring and I will be watching the rest in due course. How have you only got 226 subscribers?
Thank you for the really good comments, it is really appreciated. This was a great walk and the weather for the end of February was superb. I try to show the route and some of the views seen throughout the walks in my videos. My videos from around Sep 2018 also have narration on. It is comments like yours which inspire me to continue producing the videos. Thanks again. Cheers Eddie. ( Thanks for the sub btw!)
Omds back in 2019 we went up to red pike but from the opposite direction going up scale force. We came down the way you ascended and that initial drop from red pike to just before blueberry tarn was so scary and I almost fell 😭😭😭
Hi, you are right about the drop from Red Pike, it is really steep with loose scree which makes it tricky going up or coming down as you did. This was still a great walk with great views all the way. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Andy. We had a really good day. The weather was superb for February. You're right it was quite a steep climb on loose scree towards the top of Red Pike, but well worth it for the views at the top. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is much appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Thanks Leona/Chris. It was a great day with superb weather and views. It was hard to believe it was February! Quite a steep climb up to Red Pike, but great views all the way. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is much appreciated. Hope you are both well. Cheers. Eddie & Carol.
Wow!! So many fells and pikes in those views, absolutely stunning, but not least mirror waters of Buttermere.. Stunning photography... Can you tell me what camera you use to video?
Thanks, we had a really good day. It is a great walk with superb views all the way. I use a Go Pro Hero 6 for video and a Nikon D5600 for the still shots. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi, thanks. It is a great walk with stunning views all the way. It takes around 7 hours with breaks and time to take in the views. Thanks for watching and commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers.Eddie.
@@jacobshearing1453 Hi Jacob, thanks for watching. It took us around six and a half to seven hours to complete. The walks usually take me a bit longer due to filming and taking photos etc. We parked next to the church on the edge of Buttermere village. There is a parking area beside the church at the end of the Newlands Valley, just before Buttermere Village. There is a couple of car parks in Buttermere Village you can also use. It is great walk. Thanks again for watching. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@jacobshearing1453 No problem Jacob, glad to have been of help, just let me know if there is anything else and I will try and help you. Take care and fingers crossed the weather is kind for you next week. Cheers. Eddie,
Hi Martini. I use a Nikon D5600 for the still shots and a GoPro Hero 6 for the video shots. I use a 10-20mm lens on my Nikon Camera. My videos from October 2019 are filmed with a GoPro Hero 8. I still use the Nikon camera for the still shots ( It is an excellent camera) Hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching the video & for the question. Cheers. Eddie.
