- LAKE DISTRICT WALK FEATURING BUTTERMERE
"Butter Lake of Buttermere”
Filmed 2nd June 2016
Post-production completed 30th July 2016
For me, one of the loveliest parts of the Lake District is Buttermere, so I take a walk from the village which follows the lake shoreline. Despite being very busy with lots of other visitors it does not spoil my enjoyment of my day in Buttermere…..
Filmed in the Lake District in the county of Cumbria. Locations include Buttermere village, Buttermere Lake and the start of both Newlands and Honister Passes.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.
Any other names credited in this film, i.e. Bob Morgan and Martin Roy, are pseudonyms, which I used at the time of making this film. However, I no longer use these pseudonyms as I want viewers to be clear that my films are completely my own work.

"The Solitary Rambler" is my series of amateur films of my journeys in the countryside accompanied by my own musical scores, which I compose and perform on my Yamaha keyboard.
Please note that, as with all the films I make, this is not actually intended to be an extensive guide to the area. This is a mini-movie of my personal journey along the walk, in which I often share some of my own personal stories.
If you are new to my channel, I strongly recommend reading the description under the “about” tab, which will provide a clearer understanding of what to expect in my films: / solitaryrambler
There is also a short “Introduction to the Solitary Rambler” video, which briefly explains what my films are all about: / solitaryrambler

Two years ago, I had a flat tire on a road overlooking Butter Lake. It was three hours before the tow truck arrived. I cherish the memory of the quiet of those hours, and of the loveliness of the scene before me.

Most peacefully place in this world . Woundedfull Amezing

Well done Patrick, only found you this evening when i was looking at footage of Holmfirth, i am a Summer Wine fan unlike yourself, i've been waching it since it started in 1973.
Buttermere is another of my favorite places, especially Gatesgarth farm as my first trip here was in 1970 when i was 16.
A few of us came here on motorbikes and some of the others in a small van, with the camping gear.
One of my mates had come here with the school some years before our trip and several had swam the width of the lake and got themselves into the Guiness Book of Records at the time.
I think the last time i came here was in 1976, to visit some friends that had come camping, again i was on the bike but this time with my wife.
I've been trying to get back again over the years but never got round to it, looks quite a bit busier now than what it used to be.
The Fish Inn was a favourite place, spent many happy evenings in there.
Nice one Patrick and take care.
Many thanks George for all your kind comments and for taking the time to watch! All the best. Cheers, Patrick 😊
What a beautiful place lovely walk around the lake another one for my list. Thank you Patrick.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching Shaun
Great videos I’ve enjoyed many. Narration comes across very natural and informative ,spectacular camera shots ,great entertainment thank you.
Awesome, thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! 😀
Patrick another visually stunning film of a little known corner of the Lake District. Thank you. Evelyn.
It is a beautiful part of the Lake District Evelyn, thanks for taking a look :-)
Lovely old buildings with charm and a peace from bygone times
👍
A few years ago Patrick I did a solitary ramble up Haystacks,and when I came down alongside the Lake I did exactly this walk,the weather was just like it was for you here,and watching this made all the memories come flooding back.
If I was going back again I wouldn't go up any fells,I would just enjoy relaxing walks just like this,isn't it great how they carried on with the path through the rock,I remember that part very well.
Beautifully filmed,expertly presented,fab music as usual,a stunning film.Thankyou.
Pete.
Back in 1991 I also walked up Haystacks too and then climbed Great Gable, wouldn't want to do that now. So this was a nice as it was another fairly easy walk around the lake and not too difficult to film. That path through the rock is great isn't it. Thanks once again Pete, your comments are very much appreciated. Cheers, Patrick :)
Stunning video, my Dad and I used to camp at Gatesgarth and you could camp right by the river. We watched the trout jumping. That was in the 70's. Still awesome! I take my own kids there now.
Many thanks for your comments. It certainly was a stunning place to film so I'm glad you liked the finished result. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Patrick :)
Lovely.. Went here in 90s.. Great memories..
Great 👍
Walked Buttermere last Monday, we walked in the opposite direction though. When I 1st saw the lake from the Buttermere village end and stood at the water's edge I'm not ashamed to say I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye at the sheer beauty of it. Pity you didn't show the full majesty of the lake by standing by the lone tree at the end of the lake and show the whole length of it surrounded by the wonderful hills.
Will look for more of your videos now.
Pity your only comment on my video itself is about something you find fault with.
Stunning Simply Stunning i was totally blown away by the mountains ,and wonderful landscapes, Patrick , i didnt realise buttermere ,was so close to Cockermouth , a place i used to work in , in the 1970s when i left school i worked as a scaffolder , for a while and we did lots of work up in cumbria and the lake district ......
Its amazing how many aircraft use the lake district for low flying exercises too ... Thank you so much Patrick for another excellent film .... Frank and Lee ...
This was really lovely to film and quite an easy walk around the lake. It's not far from Cockermouth as you say and Lorton in the previous film is even closer. That aircraft was amazing to see so I'm glad I managed to get a quick shot of it before it vanished. Thanks again Frank and Lee. Cheers, Patrick :-)
Last week, I had 3 days of healing at Buttermere with my family. It rained a lot, but it was fun to walk in the rain...
Great video what a beautiful place and village, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks for your kind comments and for watching :)
This beautiful lake is just how I remember it, nothing has changed, which is good. Every view you showed us is like a painting, Patrick, and I am minded to return once more to enjoy these shores.
👍
Thank you. This has to be my favourite episode, just bcuz its one of my favourite walks and one that I did first with my mother, so I have fond memories there. Being from the North means that its in my heart forever. Great work Partick, I know how much effort it takes to make such videos as these.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching as always 😊
Love the voice the narration and the shots. great work buddy. You caught the magic of the lakes very well. keep it up!
Thank you Mike for your great comments, glad you liked it. Many thanks for watching :)
pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Dakota Stephen Definitely, have been watching on flixzone for years myself =)
I really loved your clear presentation. You hit it off with me when you mentioned 'mobile 'phone addiction'. Eventually, man/womankind will evolve with a mobile welded to their ears. Thank you so much for your time and generously sharing.
Thank you very much John for your kind comments. Yes I can remember seeing that notice about the mobile phones in a Keswick pub, thought that was great :)
Superb. I find this so uplifting, well paced, soothing with a lovely soundtrack. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments 👍
Fabulous video and the cinematography was superb. We don't go to the lakes often. The last time was when our kids were very young but it is so lovely over there so we need to make an effort to return. Thanks for this brilliant video and we hope you are safe and well.
Thanks so much Jeff, glad you enjoyed this. I remember it was a very hot day when I shot this, so it was the perfect walk to film as a result, i.e. a nice flat and easy around walk the lake. Keeping well and safe thanks, hope you are too :)
@@solitaryrambler Yes thanks and keep up the excellent work.
Absolutely Beautiful Land ! Thank You!
Thank you for watching! :)
I watched this right after the Bond movie The Living Daylights, and this is the perfect 'cool down' video for that movie. The music you made, ties in with the Bond music very well, and the vid even has a Hercules aircraft in it. Will be checking out more of your vids soon.
Thank you for your kind comments! Yes that Hercules was a real lucky shot whilst I was filming this walk. Thanks again. All the best :)
Wonderful video of this beautiful area . Camped on syke farm abour 15 years ago and will be going again this year!
Thank you for watching and for commenting. Enjoy your visit this year :)
Nicely filmed and edited. Great weather is always a bonus.
Thank you so much Jane :)
Great footage of the lakes, can't wait to move to Penrith next month. Get chance to explore all the northern lakes. All the best!
Thank you, hope you enjoy living in Penrith :)
Thanks Patrick for another great walk. I will be staying in Kendal for 2 weeks in May so will definitely seek this out. I hope the weather is also kind to me.
👍
Its makes me happy, weather is nice ,,,
Problems ,,stress, lonlyness will relief
Really loved an thanks!
Just come across this one. Been years since we were there. Best flat walk in the Lakes, I reckon. Totally agree about mobile phones. They isolate people rather than help communication.. My wife, a font of all knowledge, thinks you would enjoy Wycoller, a small hamlet in East Lancashire There's a ruined hall there that was allegedly featured in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. More to the point there's plenty of really good walking over the south P
ennines.
Thanks for watching. I've never been to Wycoller, but I have actually made several films in the South Pennines - if you get the chance it's worth looking at my playlists, and the short introduction video I made in May 2020 too. Many thanks again :)
just subscribed to you Patrick from Canada.. brilliant video 👍
Awesome, thank you for watching and subscribing! 👍
Great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful lake...would love to go there
The Lake District is just so beautiful 👍
Thank you Patrick, a wonderful walk, interesting and beautifully filmed. I am surprised that the great Alfred Wainwright was not mentioned, as you walked past the church which contains his memorial window, and the many views of Haystacks, on whose summit his ashes were scattered. Otherwise, very well done. Mike
Thank you Mike for your kind comments, much appreciated.
once hiked to Seatoller // immediately ran away .... we got the bus back to Alston ...!! lol .. very fond memories of sitting, enjoying a cool sandwich in Keswick bus station .
👍
Great video, thanks for posting.
Thank you too Andy for your comments and for watching :)
OMG!!! Buttermere. Can it get more resplendent? The Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Dean. Your videography skills are crackin', Patrick. 25years old in 91? We are both 55 then. Fairly certain that was a Hercules transport. Flew in them with the Canadian Army.
Thank you so much for the kind comments William, that is really appreciated. I will be 55 in May 👍
Another of Wainwight’s favourite areas of the Lake District. I believe his ashes were scattered on Haystacks which overlooks Buttermere. If you get the chance Patrick, one of my favourite walks is from Buttermere, up to the summit of Red Pike, along the arête to High Stile, where you can then descend back to Buttermere along the shore of the lake or press on to Haystacks, again returning to Buttermere via the shore of the lake. Pail Beachcroft
I've climbed up Haystacks many years earlier and gone on to climb Great Gable, that was a lovely walk :)
@@solitaryrambler Brilliant, they are still on my to do list....
A lovely video, I really enjoyed watching it, thank you. I was going to ask if you saw any military aircraft there, then I saw the C130 !! I normally go to Thirlmere to watch them, but would like a change.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. A real lucky shot getting that aircraft at the time! :-)
whats the name of the background music? also great video!
Thank you! I don't have a name for this piece of music as such, but I just refer to it as my Lake District theme :)
@@solitaryrambler ah I see, thanks for the reply!
I’ve been looking at a beautiful cottage for sale right at buttermere it’s paradise
👍
What was the name of the campsite you passed on this vlog ?
I've no idea I'm afraid, but if you click on the link for the route map at the bottom of the video description the site was at Crag Wood marked on the map.
