The Langdale Pikes // Hiking Vlog #8
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Filmed on Monday 24th December 2018
After many equipment issues on previous vlogs and even a couple of vlogs completely ruined because of kit failures, I decided to get some new bits and pieces that would provide better quality videos and simplify the whole process.
Therefore it's been quite a while since my last video but I needed to get things right. And I also wanted the weather to be good on the first outing with this new gear.
Christmas Eve was the day I chose. It was forecast glorious sunshine all day and for once the forecasters got it right; it was perfect. Finn and I spent the day around the Langdale Pikes. I selected a route that would take in Raven Crag, Loft Crag, Pike o' Stickle, Thunacar Knott, Harrison Stickle, Pavey Ark and Pike Howe.
This part of the Lake District never disappoints and on days like these it can only be described as heavenly.

The photograph of the mist in the valley bottom is superb. 😍 I like the interesting fact about the Neolithic axe production. The drone shots around the great mound of Pike O' Stickle and the view of Stickle Tarn are great! Thank you to you and your Zoom Buddy Finn. 🐕🐕🐕
Beneath the remains, what an album! Sepultura at their best. Still got it in my collection on vinyl, bought way back in the day . Love the lake district. Great vlogs. Keep up the good work. 👍🤘
You're videos are bloody excellent! I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Lakeland Tourism should be paying you royalties!
Hi there I'm planning a trip to explore the Central Fells and the Langdales in April... your work is absolutely amazing. What photography! I can't wait to get up there and can only hope the weather is kind. Thank you so much. You capture the atmosphere and strength of those mountains so well. 👏
Love this blog ❤️
Watching this has inspired me to get back out and to pay another visit to the Langdale Pikes. Great vlogs 👌
Fantastic mate, especially seeing all that frost and the sun going down at 3.30pm! Cracking hat and enjoyed the occasional outbreak of song! Looked like a stunning day! New camera works really well 📸👍
Thanks very much Will 😊 Yeah, it was a cracking day, not a breath of wind either which was nice!
That was great. Amazing shots and atmosphere. Fantastic job.
Awesome video great view of Jack’s Rake with the drone.
Brilliant video as usual 👍 Sepultura 🤘
What a glorious day, and a glorious way to spend Christmas Eve. Very enjoyable film. I'm staying in the Langdale Valley for a few days this summer, so might try your route as it looks like an excellent hike.
You had me at “brunch”!
I imagined you and Finn tucking into salmon and scrambled eggs with a Bloody Mary.
Fantastic film, Glenn. I lived at Skelwith Bridge for three years so a quick access to Langdale on such days was a great privilege.
Thanks very much.... Weirdly that is exactly what we ate 😂
Really enjoyed that walk with you and Finn 😊 New camera and audio were fine, I fact I really liked how the camera showed so much more of the walk and views 😃
Thanks very much 😊 I'm really pleased with the camera for that exact reason; it gives you more to look at.
Great video again mate, Didn't realise it was a 360 camera on a selfie stick until I seen the shadow! haha .. genuinely thought you had your drone following you about lol. This definitely gave me a lake district fix. Can't wait to get back over there. Missing doing my videos !
Looking forward to your next one!
Thanks very much bud......yup, a 360 camera, it's brilliant 😃
Absolutely brilliant video and possibly the best location in the Lakes, great videography and photography. Why you don't have alot more subs is beyond me as you produce some stunning media. thanks ATB Steve
Great Langdale is one of my favorite places , i think iv'e photographed the Pikes more than anything else. Fantastic video, cheers.
Thanks very much mate, totally agree with you, it's a stunning place!
This is fabulous! I’ve never been up via Raven Cragg before so will definitely be trying out this route. Thank you for the awesome footage! 🙏
Iove your videos! The Langdales are my fave hike so far!
Having watched this again I think I did your route but in reverse. Last Friday it was cloudless, rubbish photo conditions but fantastic hiking weather. Was great to be back out again.
I've visited the Lake District on 3 occasions (twice this year) so consider myself slightly ignorant of what's where but I'm getting such a wonderful perspective from your vlogs and feel more informed and better equipped to explore the Lakes when I next come up. Thank you so much, I appreciate your time and effort, keep up the vlogs.
Thank you so much, really great to get feedback likes this.....it definitely makes me want to continue doing it 😊
Tip, chuck dirt on slippery wood, gives a bit of grip.
Great vlog! We went up Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, pike o stickle and Loft crag yesterday... fantastic route and beautiful views...keep up the good work 👍⛰️🐑
Thanks so much, appreciate it 😊🙏 Sounds like you had an amazing day 😊🙌
Another great vlog Glenn. ( I nearly jumped out of my skin when you slipped! 🙈)
Thanks so much Denise 😊 haha, yeah, sorry about that. To be fair I think I did the first time I watched it back too 😃
Cracking vids mate. camera work is exceptional. just watched 4 in a row 👍🏼
This is a brilliant video. Great that you put the route on so I can go and have a look too. Looks like a great walk. Subscribed and really looking forward to watching all the others.
It certainly doesn’t disappoint! Was up there on Sunday and it was glorious. However, daughter thinks I’m stalking you so changed route slightly! Went up Jack’s rake, wow! Highly recommend this for the morning adrenaline rush. Also added High Raise and Sergeant Man for the Wainwright list!
Look forward to your next vlog. 👍🏼
Jack's Rake is a fine route up and will be the subject of a future vlog 😊👍
Hey Glenn! Hope you had a good Christmas and new year! Just caught up on all the vlogs and this one in particular is incredible mate. You've come such a long way in a short period of time with it all its honestly impressive. The audio was amazing and I love that new camera you have, the wide angle is ace. I especially liked the drone footage at 7:40 and 13:30 too! - and all the images were sublime too mate, should get those up on insta soon pal!
Hopefully see you again soon man!
Hey Jack, Happy New Year buddy, hope it was a blast! Thanks very much mate, really chuffed you liked it. Thanks for the feedback....the bar keeps getting higher and therefore harder to reach 😂
Quality content pal 👍🏻
Terrific video, really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. I’m spending a lot of time watching Lakes vids whilst on lockdown. Really hope we’ll all get the chance to get back on the fells this summer.
Another great video. I thought you were showing me a magic trick as I couldn't figure out how you were filming then I spotted the shadow 🤣 but you had me going for the longest time 🤭. I've loved all your videos and photos from 2018 and can't wait to see what great stuff is instore for 2019.
Thanks very much Mirry, that's really kind of you and thanks for all your support so far. Have a great New Year 😊
Fantastic video. Really enjoyed watching.
Thank you, appreciate it 😊
Love your videos so much and this looks like a cracking hike. Just wish the lakes weren’t so damn far away from my gaff (South coast). Can’t wait to get back there. Happy new year
Thanks very much bud, really appreciate it. It's a brilliant walk and I can highly recommend it for your next visit 😊👍 And Happy New Year to you 🎉
the footage is just stunning.👍🏼
Thanks very much, appreciate that 😊🙏
Excellent as always mate and as Richard stated,the invisible stick is excellent 😁
All the best for 2019 and here's to many more excellent vlogs from your goodself.
Thanks very much Steve, really appreciate amazing feedback like that, thank you!
And Happy New Year!
Awesome as all ways! Love how you edited out your selfie stick! Hope you had an epic xmas and all the best for the New Year!
Thanks very much Richard, really glad you enjoyed it. Fab Crimbo thanks, and thank you; hope you have a brilliant New Year too mate
Wow! That's so cool! Absolutely loved it! Thanks for sharing! =D
Fab work again mate! Love these videos and I’m embarrassed to say I only hit the lakes once this year!! 2019 I want to spend more time there!
Thanks very much Rob. Yes, get your good self up here and get amongst it 😃
Loving your vlogs. Nice effect with the 360 cam. I tried similar when the GoPro fusion came out but didn’t have the processing power or patience. Hope you make some more. Cheers
Absolutely brilliant, love it 😊
Thanks so much Linda, really glad you liked it 😊
on my to do list !
Really enjoyed this. Not been up there for a while... may have to take a trip if we get some snow.... and your videography is awesome... especially the magic invisible selfie stick (🤷♂️) 👊
Thanks Nigel, it's a great spot. It's only taken me over a year to respond, I didn't even see your comment until now 🙈
Loved it! Inspired me to get out more!
Alien Herdies at 7.16 with the glowing eyes!
You've got very good eye sight :-)
I just think it is a shame that this quality of work isn't seen by more people. I wonder if you should apply your skills to more main stream topics so that you could get the size of audience that this type of content, filming and post production quality deserves. First class!
Just awesome! Is the audio just off the camera?
Hi only just found your channel brilliant!!
Fantastic film & love the camera work. Id say one of the best I've seen so far on you tube as it gives a much better perspective of your walk & what you are seeing. Brilliant. Heading up there on that very route this weekend so your film has helped me out. Can you tell me what camera you use to film while your walking? Thanks & subscribed
Great video, loving the 360 cam, curious which one you went for? Seems to be a lot of choice out there
Love your new videos!!
I really like your camera setup as well, which one are you using? :) Is it the Insta360 One X?
And how do you record the audio? Separately via your phone?
End of 2018, wishing us well for the new year, none of us new what was coming in 2020 with the pandemic. Fortunately walking in the countryside was largely unaffected and much needed for mental health.
Wow! That 360 camera makes a huge difference to the perspective of the videos. Would be interested to hear what new kit you invested in? How did you record the audio as well, was it using an external mic?
Thanks very much Jake. Yeah, the 360 opens up so many possibilities when it comes to filming alone in places like that. The new kit was the 360 camera, instead of my phone. And also the external lav mic (Rode Smartlav) which is just brilliant!
What Drone do you use? the view's are amazing.
So desperate to get out again - post lockdown
Great video, how long did this hike take to complete
Thanks very much 😊 It took me all day as I was filming but I've done it many times before and it normally takes about 4 or 5 hours. That really leisurely, stopping to take photos and eat etc. It's an excellent walk 👌
@@BlackCrag thanks, thinking of doing this one this weekend if the weather is half decent
amazing!!
Thanks Drue 😃
Just bought a mavic air hoping that I will be able to capture videos like this. What drone do you use?
Thanks very much. I use the Mavic Pro (1). It's a heck of a lot of fun 😃
