    Came down that route early last monday after eagle crag, sergeant crag, high raise and ullscarf. Was a bit damper when we came down! Look forward to that video next week! Keep up the great content

    What a great video! The little scenes where you scratch the lamb’s head, reuniting the cute lamb with her mum, and running into that sweet lady who just turned 82 really elevated your hike with stunning scenery into something very special! Thank you for taking us on another fantastic hike!

    Hi BC many years ago when I was knee high to a grasshopper we came on holiday to the lakes and we went on a Mountain goat tour one of the destinations was the Bowderstone !!!.
    The story went that the stone was brought to It's resting place by a glacier apparently the stone is made up of a type of rock that's only found in Scotland as a small kid I found this awe-inspiring.
    Just thought I'd let you hear the story I was told
    I remember the day for two reasons there was a french lady who decided to go for a wander on her own making the mountain goat driver short on time and inadvertently ruining the day for everyone else on the tour B---- !!!.
    Anyway excellent vlog keep up the great work cheers...Mike.

    Excellent walk , when we were last there a lovely old couple showed us how you can hold hands underneath the Bowder Stone from either side to show you love each other. They had in their younger years walked all over the fells, but were too old to do so now. Such a lovely storey we said we would share it , so there you go. Hold hands underneath the stone with your loved one !

    Even in rain, there is comfort in it and beauty. The silence of you walking between the ferns and hearing the wind is so blissful. Walking within nature to my ears. This is where I would love to be. Not the same as being there I know but your video captures it completely. The rocks on the summits have been there for ions, and you are treading the past and history. Then to land up in a pub for that nectar must be bliss.

    Wonderful film Glenn 👏
    I did Grange Fell last year, and what a beautiful place. That walk up Troutdale, although, as you say, quite slippery, is stunning! Have always loved the Watendlath area 👌
    The Bowder Stone is a great place to hotch* on to and sit eating your sarnies with a great view up to Castle Crag.
    *Agree standing on it would be sketchy!

  • @F3T166
    @F3T166 Рік тому +1

    I did a similar walk back in March this year, got off the bus for the Bowder Stone. I came around to Kings Howe from the stile you showed before the Bowder Stone, but alas I missed out going up Kings Howe (definitely going to go back), then on to Grange Fell. I crossed over the Bridleway to Great Crag instead of heading to Watendlath, down to Dock Tarn. Descending down the woods back to Rosthwaite for a quick pint at the Scafell Hotel then onto Castle Crag finishing at Grange. Just over 10 miles walked. Once again cracking video

So your video brought back a lot of happy memories. Thank you for sharing, keep up the good work. Regards Kevin.

Honestly I've climbed all the big boys but the best views are always lower down. Love the photos. Hars to get bad shot on kings howe.

    Lovely video Glen, we did this walk in the opposite direction in the early Autumn last year (without High Crags and Bowder bit but came back along river under Castle Crag - one of our favourite paths) and its was so treacherous coming down from Kings How, it took us ages (stunning with autumn leaves here, would recommend doing at this time of year for certain)! Beautiful area and so much to explore! The cafe is lovely at Watendlath, especially in late autumn and they do a big pot of hot chocolate to drink in the garden with all the delightful birds joining you! Hogs Earth area also very lush and beautiful further along towards the lake, worth a visit too by walking north from cafe below road following the stream into woods and down into Hogs Earth area before popping out above Ladore Falls region - gorgeous! You cant go wrong in any direction here, in fact getting a bit lost is even more fun seeing where you end up, as you cant go to far off course in this lovely valley! Wainwright said this area was the most beautiful square mile in the district! Nuff said hey! Cant wait for next walk to Sergants and Eagle Crags - been wanting to do these now for some time!! Great work!

    Really enjoying this little series; I'm in the lakes 3 or 4 times every year, but I stay away from the towns, it's been a hell of a long time since I've been to Keswick or Ambleside, it was really nice to see them again through your camera, but I think I'll give it swerve in person, as you say - far too many people! Nice to see you pop to the Kings Head, one of my favourites (for visiting and staying in), and dead handy for Helvellyn - White Stones route straight from the back of the pub! Whilst your foot is healing, could I suggest - if you have time - a circuit of Devoke Water, only 2 or 3 hours, nothing difficult, but immensely pretty, interesting, and you probably won't see another soul. thank you for all the work you do on this channel, and here's hoping your foot is fully better soon!

    I did all four peaks on Grange Fell in March '22 and got absolutely soaked. I also descended the way you went up and although a bit slippy and steep I didn't end up on my arse thankfully.
