Thanks so much Debs and I hope you are both keeping well. Last year was a good year but I hope 2025 will be am even better year for us all. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan! You had a truly wonderful year, a great retrospective in your humorous style. So many different landscapes, different weather conditions and difficulties, you endured it all heroically and with a smile on your face.
Glad you enjoyed it and I always enjoy being out and try to see the positive in everything, even when things are not always going my way. A long video regarding time, to get everything together but one I always enjoy. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. You had a really the best year. From the sun to the rain, to the wind that blew you away, from freedom without clothes... I don't want to mention the fall, which thank God went well, the festivals, the food... I'll stop here. Definitely a good year for you. Let this one be even better for you. Cheers! Sretana and Zac. 🍻
Thank you and if 2025 is as good I will be more than happy but lets hope this mew year is going to be a fun and happy one for us all. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awesome recap of some of your more memorable times. Often times the most grueling trips for weather and the like are the more memorable ones. Watch out for those cows and the naked guys on the trail! LOL. There is at least one common denominator of all your trip is the beautiful area that you get to enjoy on your adventures. Stunning scenery all around! Lots of great memories shared and remembered. Well done! I hope you have many more adventures in 2025. Just watch out for that first step! Take care, be safe, and have a wonderful day.
Really looking forward to the new year and some better weather too. Last year was not the best for weather, so we are due a nice long hot, sunny, summer this year - I hope! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
What a brilliant compilation from 2024 , Packed out with fabulous scenery , Loads of good humour and nicely edited , Looking forward to what 2025 brings
Glad you enjoyed it Kev and it took a full 2 days to pull all the clips together but it was a fun 2 days. I need to get caught up with everything now, miles behind as always lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Happy new year Alan. That was a great collage of your adventures/misadventures of your year. Always enjoy seeing the scenery. Here’s to an even better 2025 filled with more great times and adventures. 👍👍🎉🎉
I had a fun time pulling it all together Don and also the hiking as well. Things did not always go to plan but thankfully, I am still here to tell the tale. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@christinejones2205 - Thanks Chrtine, it was a good year and if 2025 is as good, I will be more than happy 😁. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to comment, cheers Alan
Was great watching this video. I hear myself when you talk. We bail out on walks if the clang or rain gets heavy. It's pub time . Happy new year to you and yours .JB
Haha, yes I am a fair-weather hiker but I have ben caught out on a few occasions lol. Pub time is always a good time mind and nothing better after a good days hiking. Thanks very much for watching and a Happy New Year to you too, cheers Alan
Absolutely, I had a good year last year and really grateful for it too. If 2025 is going to be more of the same, I will be well up for that. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
It sure was Max and always makes me realise how lucky I have been over the previous year. Fingers crossed that 2025 will be more if the same. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan you did so much last year, really enjoyed watching your adventures 😃 I'll catch this tonight or tomorrow as we are away, leaving a like in advance 🙂👍 ~ Anna
Happy New Year to you all and hopefully you do not make the same mistakes I did in 2024 lol. To be fair, it was a good year and I will be happy with more of the same in 2025, just in warmer weather. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Alan you have definitely shown us some lovely places and entertained us in 2024 and it looks so beautiful there in those videos in the snow but the rain in the mountains is really harsh 😮 You had a lot of fun meeting people as well and it was nice that you got out with Super Kev and other family members. So good when you could get in the water in nice weather too. You've shown us beautiful views and taken us to places we have never been. Great revisit. Looking forward to where you take us this year 🙂🙌~ Anna
Thanks for your kind words Anna and I had a great year last year, despite it not being the best for the weather, when it was nice I was out and enjoying every second of it. Fingers crossed 2025 will be a great year for us all. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to drop a comment, cheers Alan
Wow, what a winter wonderland! ❄ Aw, you and Mrs Metalman "Having a damn good snog in the sand dunes!" 😍I loved watching all your fun clips, Alan. What an awesome compilation 🤩 I had a good old giggle 😂 We've really enjoyed watching your videos during the year and we eagerly look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2025. Happy New Year to you both ❤❤
Thanks very much and I appreciate your kind words. The previous year was a real vintage one, despite the weather not being the best, so if the weather is a bit better and the memories created in 2025 are just as good, I am going to be one happy bunny. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Really great collage from 2024 Alan! Many giggles from me... And it started with "the gates from Hell "!😂😂😂😂 Wish you an awesome 2025 and hope Mrs Metalman don't have to hide her face again. 😉😆 Have a fabulous Sunday. Cheers 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
"straight up the ascent of doom and over the gate of hell", haha. Sounds like my reaction to some of the routes I have taken. Great compilation video, Alan.
Thanks John, always a fun video to do, despite the time it takes to pull together and it always reminds me how lucky I have been. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Hi Alan happy new year, some great memories there, bet you fed up with all this snow/rain and itching to get back to Cumbria, enjoy completing the Wainwrights this year cheers nigel
Good :o), I always enjoy a good laugh and it always puts me in a great mood, even on the freezing cold day like today. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Fantastic video, Alan, lots of laughs, different weather conditions, tough scrambles and an abundance of stories. I think every time you see ferns and bramble you think of Andrea and I!! Who needs a map anyway. Great to be out on the fells and still enjoying it, that's what really comes across - cattle management needs a bit of work though!! Regards, Ashley
Glad you enjoyed it and I had a lot of fun putting this together but it took over two full days getting it all edited. Haha, the amount of times I am out and on the rough track but the maps says I am on track, I always say this is an Ashely Arnold track this lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Yes, I know, she hates me solo walking and make be with just cause as well, as I still think I can do anything and everything. Been caught out too many times finding out I cannot now....Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Haha glad you enjoyed it Eric and it has been a good year, despite it being one of the worst years for weather that I can remember. Here's to more of the same (with better weather) in 2025! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Some cracking shots there Alan, even the starting ones on Alcock feel like yesterday to me. Where did last year go? It went so fast. Some cracking shots of the Lakes and in fairness you certainly have had more nice days than wet and windy ones. The drone shots add so much too. Tiffin Trotters, great name. World Naked Hiking Day, will you be trying for a meet up again in 2025? That was like one of my sneezes! Metalman Alan! Those scramble paths don’t look nice to descend. Some great days ticking off those Wainwrights! That cow was definitely following you! 👍
We always say that every year, one minute the nice weather is just starting than it is over quick as a flash, so got to make the most of those good days, which were very few and far between last year. Fingers crossed that 2025 will be a good year for us all! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Oh I will be more that happy having another year last this last one in 2025. Maybe with a bit better weather, as there seemed to be more rainy days than sunny ones last year. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nice recap of the 2024 alan and many more adventures to come 2025 eh take care if any plans for the lakes early this year ive heard nothing but bad news in the lakes recently of falls and yeah some fatal ones too but i must say im looking forward to getting back down myself and now im off the drink i should be more sensible myself while here well a little more at least 😂 nice year of memories. Marra
Yes, I read about that on Sharp Edge, what a sad way to start the year but despite being over it 4 tines, I would never attempt it in anything but perfect conditions in the summer. I hope the weather in 2025 will be a lot better than last year but if the 2025 memories are as good as this one, I will be more than happy. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

Yes, I know, she hates me solo walking and make be with just cause as well, as I still think I can do anything and everything. Been caught out too many times finding out I cannot now....Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Looks like you had a great year of hiking! My favorite part of the video is when you hear a loud cow moooo and said " What the hell was that" 😅😂
Haha glad you enjoyed it Eric and it has been a good year, despite it being one of the worst years for weather that I can remember. Here's to more of the same (with better weather) in 2025! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
