    Thank you for another lovely walk. So glad you didn’t do the full round as you did a route I first did many years ago and repeated many times. I am unable do much now and am not only grateful for the many memories I have but also that you share your experiences and take me to places I cannot currently access. I hope to see many more! Thanks for sharing.

    Catbells ... as you get older you appreciate it more, great episode Abbie you captured the views beautifully. It's not really tranquil, but its a shared experience with folks who wouldn't otherwise go into the fells and hopefully gives people a feel for the passion the outdoors invokes for walkers and climbers.

    Abbey, thank you so much for taking me on a hike I have long wished to go, but know I may never get to do. And, especially for the close ups of the gorgeous flowers and vegetation, which is always my jam!

    I've suffered from depression now for nearly forty years and my happy pill is walking next to water lakes rivers canals or the ocean but talking about it makes me depressed so I've watched your videos nearly from the beginning but I have to confess I only watch the hiking videos but keep up your good work you do a lot of good 👍🖖

    I always enjoy the Cumbrian way route along Derwent Water, never get bored in summer as always good for botanising with the little streams and craggy sections. The only bit I don't like is the heavily eroded sections of exposed tree roots that seems to always be super busy with groups.
    I did as a student in my 20s as far as Dale Tarn from Catbells and then dropped into Newlands Valley. It took much longer to do just that ridge section, i remember missing the last launch and having the extended walk back into Keswick. I've done other bits of the round separately but over time the need to do it in one, evaporated i think its knowing that the later part is always against the clock somehow unless you start really early.

  • @johnnywallaceuk
    @johnnywallaceuk Рік тому

    I've a bit of a block when it comes to getting any further than Catbells on this one too.
    I've done all the obvious routes up Catbells so I'm getting bored of that bit now, even considering using sheep tracks to spice it up!
    Either I set off too late in the day and realise I'm losing the race against the sun or I'm with someone who doesn't fancy going any further!
    Only really want to go as far as Dale Head tarn and then down by the waterfalls in to Newlands. I've walked to those waterfalls through that beautiful valley so I've even already done that bit, but can never seem to get as far as Maiden Moor never mind High Spy.
    Don't fancy the steep rock faces of Robinson from descriptions of including it, were you going to tackle that on this round Abbie?

    • @johnnywallaceuk
      @johnnywallaceuk Рік тому

      After watching a video of going up Robinson the High Snab Bank way I reckon I could make it up that way ok so I think like you I'm approaching this one from the wrong direction that's the problem! 😇
