Very fond memories of this area and this hike. In Feb, 1996 I think. With very pregnant friend and the rain and sleet. Tony was on maps, and this hike still a legend for his use of the word "contouring" to navigate a 'short cut' across muddly, windswept lakeshore, Rydal Water. Had to rescue said pregnant friend, leaving a few in that pub Abbie goes by, while two of us ran the 2 miles back to bring the cars. When Abbie said "contouring" I lost it LOL! Wished we'd been there for the flowers, ah well.
I really love your channel Abbie. You need to be at 100,000 subscribers. You take us on incredible hikes and your personality and humour and amazing. Enjoy hearing the history, viewing different landscapes and xountryside that are exquisite. As an expat I love this. I am unable to hike currently due to chronic severe pain including all over stiffness and arthritis. I loved hiking so hope go get back to that some day. Thanks for taking us along 🇬🇧🇨🇦❤
I love these programmes. The ones with Anna and the dog are my favourites. You three make a great trio. Abbie you are my relax watch when I need a break.
I usually set out from Ambleside over Loughrigg then around Grasmere and head up to Rydal Mount for a nice cup of tea in the tea room behind the hotel. Nice walk in all weathers.
I just found this Abbie.. I walked around there back in 2005 with my son.. Brilliant low walk, made a good change from walking high.. brought back great memories ... thank you.. TC From now living in Canada ( ex pat) 👍🙏
Thanks Abbie , as usual a wonderful video and you captured the very essence of nature. Beautiful wild ducks , kinda like you , beautiful and wild.... best regards.....
Did this walk back in april and it was a sunny mild day, i took my partner and 2 children and it was just amazing, they loved the rydal caves! And finished off with gingerbread from grasmere, I didn’t want the day to end. Very happy memories
Just got home after my 8th year in row Lakes holiday. Even though there are so many great routes I always do the Grasmere and Rydal walk. This year I did at 6pm it was so peaceful.
Lovely little hike this. Often do this on a Friday evening after pitching my tent at Grasmere YHA….route back to Grasmere and dinner in one of the local pubs
Love this video! We did the low walk around Rydal Water in April of 2019, our first ever walk in the Lake District. It's absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to go back.
What a treat! Just got home for a late dinner from a sunny evening hike to Ashness Bridge then back to Keswick over Walla Crag with a beautiful sunset and here's an Abbie video to enjoy and take me right back to the Lakes again. Nice walk, I've done bits of it on other walks. Been meaning to do that path to Chapel Stile for the Langdale pubs, oh and for the views too of course!
This was another awesome video. I'm really loving seeing you hike in the lake district. It just makes me want to visit there even more. Thanks for the share❤🤗

@@Daytona2 I love that. We should learn to think of ourselves like that. You know we deal all deal with physical and or mental health issues. Deep down (our roots) we are stronger than we think.
Thanks Abbie, I walked this route in opposite direction with my wife and her daughter this May, with lots of sunshine and more friendly green. We also visited the Rydal Cave and Rydal Hall. We enjoyed everything so much. Many greetings from Germany. 😊
I totally agree and great video as usual. Another low level walk is from Glenridding to pooley bridge. Have you done a video on that one? Most people do the walk then get the steamer back.
Lovely video as always. Cafe tip: If you haven't discovered it since this was filmed Mathilde's Cafe in Grasmere is wonderful! And conveniently on the route in / out of Grasmere for Helm Crag...
Herdwick sheep are lovely - very distinctive. I do enjoy these low level walks. Wondering if daffodils are natural to Britain 🤔 Yeah dilemma about the sheep managed landscape - I love it as I love downsland - but would like to see the majority of it back to trees with lots of managed cleared viewpoints.
Hello Abbie,,,,, I am still here alive and getting better. Plans still on hold until next year now. All wild-camping gear is clean and in storage for now. Will you be doing Autumn/Winter camping?. This is my time to go foraging as it makes me think about what is out there at that time of year. Struggling at the moment but inspired by what your doing,,,, Regards Mick,,,,,, Chef-on-the-wild-side,,,,,,, Forager,,,,,,,,, X
Those big old trees don't seem quite real, or at least not like trees, more like a sentient being of some kind in a fantasy story. Like they're going to speak and say something deep and wise.

Any day in the Lake District is a good day. Best place on Earth. Many of us head up the hills and miss out on the low level walks. Hope you're ok

Great walk used to live in the Glen Rothay Hotel as a teenager and often did that walk,my most favourite area on the planet

What a dreamy and beautiful place! You definitely captured its magic.
I'm in awe of your videos Abbie, such intelligent knowledgeable insights given in a uniquely quirky informal style.... love them👍
Inspired to do this walk today because it’s been chucking it down all day yesterday. Probably have a diversion to the caves on the way👍
Abbie, you're the best Fell Bagger on all of UA-cam
All the best to you girl 🤙
Another fabulous low level walk in the lakes just love it up so fabulous for walking and just chilling with nature,hope your both well on exmoor ❤❤
Another lovely , stimulating walk. Thank you for sharing a low level walk. I still do these type of walks regularly glad you do too.
Thank you Abbie.
One of the best walks in the Lake District that can have lots of variations, especially if it is extended out to Ambleside
Lovely little hike this. Often do this on a Friday evening after pitching my tent at Grasmere YHA….route back to Grasmere and dinner in one of the local pubs
Sounds great!

That was beautiful Abbie. Thank you for sharing your walk with us!
What a beautiful place! Interesting to see what they are doing with the trees. Wouldn't have thought they would come back from such a harsh pruning.
The strength is in the roots 😉
@@Daytona2 I love that. We should learn to think of ourselves like that. You know we deal all deal with physical and or mental health issues. Deep down (our roots) we are stronger than we think.
Found a moomoo pluchy cow dogwalking this morning! So was immodestly triggered to see if you got a new video 🥰

I was there a couple of weeks ago, camping alone absolutely stunning.

Brilliant blog was you on the way up to easedale tarn the other day

Great video
Started a channel I have a long way to go.
I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and I absolutely love your hat! Please tell me where I can buy one from.
Hard to say as I've had it since I was 11 😎😂 thanks for being here!
