  • Climbing Great Gable (899m) from Seathwaite Farm on a gorgeous sunny day, that gave breath taking views from the summit. From the farm, we went up via Sourmilk Gill, through the valley and on to Green Gable, before dropping down to Windy Gap and the final push to Great Gable. It was a stunning day and a fitting end for @Stephen Robinson to complete his final Wainwright. Well Done mate!

    Good afternoon Alan, what a great hike and a cracking day for it, the veiws from the summit are something special. It's a steep steep climb mind, we hiked if from Honister slate mine, taking I'm green Gable and looping around. Really enjoyed seeing if from this approach, those veiws back over lake land were phenomenal! Just breath taking ⛰👍🥰
    The section from Green to Great is torturous, scree and scramble, but again the veiws soften the blow. The memorial plaque is nice at the top, thanks for the summit veiws our was a cloudy day. Wow! ❤👍☕
    Maaaaasive lol a day that will live long in the memory, congratulations to Steven! Well done for pushing on Alan, not an easy mountain, so many path, is a hikers dream land! Fair play to the runners, we'll stick to the walking. Hope you enjoyed your dinner, great video as alway, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕⛰🌞

      Thanks very much for watching and the great comment. I have hiked it before from Honister and we had a break on Green Gable. I sat for 5 minutes eating my sandwiches, turned around and Great Gable had completely vanished - the mist had rolled in over the summit, real spooky. Thankfully today was so much better but I thought this was a tougher route, I was bloody knackered when I got back to the chariot😖. I can confirm the steak was up to it's normal superb standard, a dam fine way to end a brilliant day, cheers Alan

    Wow what a day Alan , perfect conditions for Steven to complete his 214 Wainwright . Some really steep ascents and descent so fair play for sticking out . I was camping on Red Pike at the weekend and dropped down off High Crag then back to Bowness Knott ,so we had stunning views of Green and great Gable . It will be on my list of summits to do now.

      Those runners blew me away, I was huffing and puffing going up 2 summits and they were doing about 10 of them, covering 30 miles😳. Real pleased for Stephen, finishing his 214 on such a gorgeous day and on such a specular mountain, tiring day but a real good one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

    Fantastic video Alan and well done to Stephen on completing his first round of the Wainwrights. Coming off Great Gable was the first time I feared for my life on a hike. I missed the path you took down, I still don't know which path I took but it was proper can barely see in front of you fog where you needed to navigate with a map and compass and I found myself stuck on a rock with a scree slide on either side and no way of telling if I was going to slide to safety or off a cliff. Thankfully, I made it off safely but I had no landmarks to take a compass bearing and was almost completely lost.
    It's a beast of a hill. Really glad you found the fuel in your tank to get to the top of it... because I had no idea what the views were like and now I do. Thank you. Take care, Alice.

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  3 роки тому +1

      Wow that sounds scary and yes the path was not that easy to find going down but when we did find it (in good light) it was a canny descent down, much better than the up path. I still managed to slip and fall flat on my back mind😖, thankfully a thing rucksack saved any injury - just pride😂. Good of you to watch and comment, take care, cheers Alan

    That was a perfect bluebird day Alan, you couldn't have wished for better. We have a saying when it comes to the steeper climbs. "You don't have to get there fast, you just have to get there!" Never won a hike getting up to the top first, and that's the truth. You win a hike when you get back to the car park and can say, "That was a good day!" I think you were able to say that at the end of this one. Fantastic views on this one. This might be our new favourite video of yours. Absolutely stunning. If that place was near us, we'd be up there all the time. We'd hit that thumbs up 4 times if we could, but you'll have to settle for the one. Great job sticking through that. We're really glad you did, otherwise we'd not have seen it!
