    The music, the views, the sounds, and that guy that follows you around. Keep up the wonderful video Finn!! ❤

    Yep, made it this far. Last September I started ticking off the Wainwrights after inspiration from your channel. It’s an extremely costly hobby as I live in Belfast! Although I am a long term visitor to the Lake District. I’m up to 43 wainwrights and my favourite to date is Helm Crag. Thanks for all your hard work.

    Can't imagine stopping one of your videos before the end, much too captivating. 22:55 Surely before your time? I've actually been watching some nostalgic episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man recently, Finn would have made a fine addition to the cast.

    Stunning magnificent view. Enjoyed evefy second as i sit here with my dogs in my warm bedroom😂😂. But i watch all your videos as im a Northern lass living in Kent...this is my all time fell too.
    Thank you.

    No location known to man compares with the English countryside especially in the north. This measured look at the terrain is edifying and also important for folks to get motivated by history and British culture.

    My top 3.
    1. The Crinkles
    2. Dale Head
    3. Grisdale Pike
    When I walked Green Crag and Harter Fell, it wasn’t a very pleasant day weather wise. I think the weather conditions definitely contribute to how u feel about a particular fell. Keep up the good work 👍

    Only just got around to viewing this, thanks, another great video and I did get to the end, as always with your videos. Don't worry about them getting longer, they're always a joy to watch, many times better than mainstream TV.

  • @breezecutmore
    @breezecutmore 8 місяців тому +3

  • @MountainManJohnFilms
    @MountainManJohnFilms 8 місяців тому

    Loved that! I have to say. When I'm asked about favourites....not easy! I LOVE Helvellyn but that's 30 years of visiting in every season. ...but Blencathra, Scafell Pike, Old Man area.... Wherever you go. It just sublime. Long time since I was on Harter felll. I need to get back! Great vid 👍

  • @phillipseaman5493
    @phillipseaman5493 8 місяців тому +5

  • @auxbuss
    @auxbuss 8 місяців тому

    Low Fell - best view in the Lakes, imo.
    Wetherlam - the sum has everything: the way up; up top; and on the way out, if you do a full circuit.
    Great Gable - I mean, come on!
    Honourable mention:
    Blea Rigg - surrounded by beauty, and a moonscape in the red light of dusk

  • @grahamwest2487
    @grahamwest2487 8 місяців тому

    Great route Glenn
    My fav fells
    - Great Gable
    - Harter Fell (Esk) - best wild camp views ever - sunset etc
    - Binsey - small but with the summit and views of a giant!

    In a pinch you can tuck earlobes into the sides of a baseball cap to give a measure of protection from the sun.

  • @blackrainphoto
    @blackrainphoto 8 місяців тому +2

    My 3 favourites are:
    Helm Crag - What it lacks in height it makes up for in features and the amazing view into Grasmere.
    Harter Fell - Like you said the views towards the Scafell Range and over the fort.
    Kirk Fell - Amazing views of Scafell and the Wasdale valley

  • @archiesharpe2800

    @distortedcrab 8 місяців тому

    Another great video. Been over in the Langdale today and completed my first mountain walk in over 17 years. Following your route: Pike Howe, Pavey Ark, Thunacar Knott, Harrison Stickle, Pike of Stickle and Loft Crag. Legs are absolutely ruined now, but loved every minute. Thanks for the motivation.

  • @CedarManorBoutiqueHotel
    @CedarManorBoutiqueHotel 8 місяців тому

    Great walk, that view off Harter is sensational.
    Not done every Wainwright yet but so far my favourites -
    Wansfell Pike
    Glenridding Dodd
    Bowfell
    Look forward to seeing more walks soon.
    Thanks for the inspiration. 👍

  • @gaylinlyons6534
    @gaylinlyons6534 8 місяців тому +2

    I have only made it as far as to go along with you via video. No finances to come across the pond and do any of these walks. Beautiful views today and wonderful weather for this hike. Really nice to see Finn as well. Thank you. - Ontario Canada.

  • @yorkshiremanswalking4957
    @yorkshiremanswalking4957 8 місяців тому +2

    One of my fav fells is black crag spent a good couple of hours all alone on a very sunny morning around 6am the other 2 are pavey ark and haystacks love the walk up to haystacks. the videos can be as long as you make them gives me time to chill and watch the stunning views

  • @lilbird4198
    @lilbird4198 8 місяців тому

    Oh my, Thank You so much, Glenn, and Finn, for such a lovely stroll through the fells. So happy you had such a nice day for it, and that you both had a fell-top nap. LOL As for my favourite three, each one I've seen has its' own merits, so I guess I like them all. We don't have this kind of terrain in Ontario, so they all look magical to me. 💙

    @Ste_365 8 місяців тому +2

    Such a lovely chilled video. The solitude up in the hills looks like bliss. I wish I had the knowledge to know where I can and can't walk in the lakes, I'd just end up lost! haha

  • @philipjones637
    @philipjones637 8 місяців тому

    1. Loughrigg
    2. Eagle Crag
    3. Dale Head
    Difficult though they will change with the exception of Loughrigg.
    It’s where my journey began, no where finer to romp on a summers day and when walking from Ambleside to Grasmere the last min view from the terrace over Grasmere could make me cry.

  • @jimmyoconnell6167

  • @christopherpickles7541
    @christopherpickles7541 8 місяців тому

    Top three:
    A big one - Scafell Pike. So much of it, so many routes, total contrast between the equally magnificent Wasdale and Eskdale sides.
    A medium one - Whiteless Pike. A stairway to heaven straight from the pub in Buttermere.
    A small one - Loughrigg. A whole mountain range in miniature.

  • @LancashireLadWalks
    @LancashireLadWalks 8 місяців тому

  • @Merritt7278
    @Merritt7278 8 місяців тому +2

  • @robmarsden9486

  • @animillsi3592
    @animillsi3592 8 місяців тому

    Not done many wainwrights yet, all of the northern fells and bits and bobs from the others.
    But of the few I've done so far:
    1 - Blencathra
    2 - Castle Grag
    3 - Carrock Fell (such an interesting summit)
    Love your videosA

  • @paulcooper9187
    @paulcooper9187 8 місяців тому +1

    Green Fell Looks worth a visit. My favorite three , Great End , Bowfell and Holme Fell , and for outlying fells Humphrey Head every time. I lasted that long 😅
    Love the route chosen. Finn certainly looked pooped at the end. Thank you .

  • @HikingKito
    @HikingKito 8 місяців тому +1

  • @richardpearson5036
    @richardpearson5036 8 місяців тому

    I made it too buddy , just love these yomps of yours. It brings my times up there roaring back !!!! Fave fells ? Blencathra over sharp edge, helvellyn sharp edge up, swirral edge down, and great gable , thanks buddy.

  • @lascellesthornton1976
    @lascellesthornton1976 8 місяців тому

    Top 3 fells. 1. Scafell. 2. Lingmell. 3. Harter Fell. But if I have a subs bench and dramatic weather, they would be 1: Great Calva. 2. Blake fell. 3. Lingmoor. Weather always plays a staring role I find.

  • @andrewtraynor7854
    @andrewtraynor7854 8 місяців тому

    Wonderful walk, nice to see you're finally getting a bit of spring. Not sure about my top 3 walks but for me you can't beat the classic Helvelyn route, up Striding Edge and down Swirral Edge. Also think that Plaice Fell on the other side of Ullswater is very underrated

  • @DamianBridger
    @DamianBridger 8 місяців тому

    Wansfell my favourite. Mortal man for lunch. Then walk around southern part via nanny Lane into Ambleside. 😊

  • @Twa-Dags
    @Twa-Dags 8 місяців тому

    I think we've talked about favourite fells out on the fells some time ago. Like you, I flip between Harter Fell and Bowfell, so they're definitely joint 1st. Third is a little harder but Blisco and the Crinkles are up there, as is Great End or Gable. Or Pillar.
    I've just realised how hard the "what are your 3 favourite fells" question is 😂

  • @jacquilewis5694
    @jacquilewis5694 8 місяців тому

    Of the 84 I’ve done so far my faves have been Hallin Fell, Blencathra and Walla Crag, however it is a bit like trying to choose your favourite child x

  • @jenniferhurley5895
    @jenniferhurley5895 8 місяців тому

    Thank you for taking us with you on another wonderful walk. I think cats bells, crinkle crag and hartafell are my favourite ( hope I spelt them correctly ). Gorgeous views, great music, so relaxing. Then the fun of the planes. And best of all, Finn to boot.

  • @jonm4989
    @jonm4989 8 місяців тому

    Not sure about specific fells as favourites, but fave walks include Haystacks from Buttermere (incl walk around the lake, Newlands Round and High St from Mardale Head (incl Harter Fell and Kidsty Pike).

  • @ashleyalmond4463

  • @johnmull59
    @johnmull59 8 місяців тому

    Dow Crag, Fleetwith Pike, Bow Fell. If you want a nice quiet spot to have a kip I'd suggest Meal Fell

    Hi Glenn. At the moment I would say I don't really have a favourite fell or place yet, I am still adventuring around. Having said that I do have a longing to get back to the langdales again. Wild camped at stickle tarn and loved it.

    Yes watched the whole thing.
    Top 3 fells is a really hard choice.
    Maybe Pike o'Stickle for the view across Mickleden.
    Kirk Fell for the evening solitude on long Bob Graham Round recces.
    And High Stile/ High Crag for that gorgeous ridge between them?

  • @lakesrhino1
    @lakesrhino1 8 місяців тому

    Enjoyable vlog thanks, mafe to the end. I've done all the Wainwright's, so it's the views for me now and photography. 1) Loughrigg, I do live in Ambleside, so my go-to. 2) Lingmoor 3) split between Haystacks and Sheffield Pike.

    What a wonderful video full of interesting facts, humour, and just awesome scenery 🙂. Love wee Finn adding that extra little white fur ball on screen too such a good girl. I laughed at the Hardknot pass and memories of tackling that bend on a Honda Fireblade with little steering lock and worse still the leaning Cambre in the road wee heart stopping moment at the crux of the bend just glad I wasn't in a camper van 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
    Love watching your videos and sharing places I never knew existed Thank you and we do watch because you make them great.

  • @jonm4989

    Very enjoyable as usual Glenn. You do a really professional job with your videos; it’s wonderful what can be achieved by one person (and a lovely little dog).
