This walk begins at the King George V Cricket field located in Patterdale adjacent to Ullswater.. Heading left out of the car park we find the sign for the coast to coast walk which you follow directly up Thornhowe End following obvious paths alongside Birks before heading up to the summit.. St Sunday Crag from here comes to view where a detour on a more comfortable path towards Gavel Pike is the better option as the more direct route involves much exposed rock and slight scrambles..

Nice video, Dave. You had some decent conditions up there. Quite often, you have to just get out and ignore the forecast. Nice to see Mary and Derek out with you as well. Keep at it.
aye i dont think am going to look at the weather again... just get up and go when i can, enough excuses.. they are good company, mary can talk for england like 🤣
Another great video of yours, we have watched them all. Your new theme tune is brilliant. Hopefully one day we will see you as we are always out, we only live near Whitehaven. Look forward to the next one
Thank you aye am sure we will cross paths.. must be decent living in Whitehaven with Wasdale on ya back door step.. very convenient i always think as i drive round there.. my local fells are the northern ones.. not as exciting.. thank you for the support, tek care :)
Great video Dave.
It's brill you're still doing some wainwright's, sometimes with different routes as it makes for a different walk then. Nice to see you follow black crag and hiking with Tony too, 2 of the others we follow as well. Keep up the good work.
aye ya cant beat a bit of ol black crag.. this year im mainly focusing on birketts which will revisit a large chunk of the wainwrights.. still 170 odd left of them but al keep chippin away finding new routes... thanks for watching, tek care :)
Ey up Marra, well done mate. Who needs weather forecasts, pity you didn’t get the views from Gavel Pike. That’s a Birkett I’ve yet to do myself.
All the best mate 😀⛰🥾
the path up to the birkett is miles safer than the direct route anyway.. especially for coming down on.. another one am gonna have to revisit... neways, cheers lad, tek care :)
Nice route there Dave, thanks for the shout out mate😃. I was on Low Fell at the weekend and noticed you'd gone through the Wainwrights in 36 walks. Did you get them all done? There are some tough ones in there. All the best out there brother🏔😃🥾
aye nice comfortable one for a change.. nah i used 52 walks in the end, some of them on the site i was following were way to massive to enjoy, for me anyway.. i started the series on low fell.. need to revisit it for round 2 and pick up the birketts of that area.. cheers lad, tek care :)
Super video Dave. I tough ascent for sure. Ive only ever come down that way but even going down theres a few steep scrambly sections. Ive missed out not visiting Gavel Fell on my visits. Shame the clag was in when you were at the summit but at least it cleared on St Sunday. ATB
yea am not having much luck with these birketts sadly.. its a much easier path up and down to sunday crag via gavel too.. maybe its the more commonly used one but i normally just go direct up and down the rocky crag.. one to revisit.. cheers, tek care :)
Well done lad...aye 🙂
cheers lass, cracking day oot.. tek care :)
Lovely vlog and views
Cheers, they were better than forecast so id tek anything this day.. tek care :)
Nice video Dave 👍
Cheers lad, tek care :)
You should be proud of them brother it's a effort climbing them never mind filming, climbing up the back down for the camera maximum effort 😂 I appreciate the videos good sir helps plan my routes
Cheers for the support lad.. I overthink walks and forget why i am doing them sometimes.. clag doesn't make a great video but they are good memories and its good to get out with other people for the crack... tek care :)
