    Really enjoyed the tranquillity of your video and the scenery. One of our favourite fells, and possibly the only one we've done twice. We love the Lakes District and I always enjoy discovering another channel to watch and learn from. Well done, regards, Ashley

    Another walk on my list that I've now done from my sofa! The scenery is great, we can see that with our eyes, but it's even better when the presenter (you) highlights the things you enjoy... sun patches, distant features, post walk cake etc. Makes it feel like a tag-along and worth subscribing to see another day out.
    There are many walks to do in the Lake District, so I'll suggest an impromptu one I enjoyed last Autumn with roaring stags. Hartsop > Hayeswater > Angle Tarn > Boredale Hause > Hartsop. Good luck with the channel.

      Thank you Jason, so lovely to hear you enjoyed the video & felt like you were tagging along virtually! It's a beautiful route from Grasmere, great variety & perfect to end back in the village for some well earned cake & tea! Ooo I haven't done that one yet, will add it to my list to do next time I visit, thank you 🫶🏻 hope you have a lovely weekend :)

      Yes, definitely recommend & you can easily extend it, to include Easedale Tarn as I've heard that's lovely too! That sounds so nice, Grasmere is a beautiful base & will have to add Alcock Tarn to my list for later this year as haven't explored there yet! Thank you 😊💛

    Apologies for a late response but only just came across the channel. Could there be a better day for it? For me those days are better than the hot summer days. The views and the colours of the fells were really something. The walk can be extended with little effort by continuing onto Gibson Knott.
