Mountain joy fever 😆👍im looking fwd to some along with my family,thinking of heading out to loughrigg as soon as we are out of restrictions. Enjoying your lovely films in the mean time. Best wishes 👍
Thank you. I'm pleased you are enjoying them. I've always found the mountain joy fever to be highly contagious. Hopefully we'll be back to normal in a few months.
Thank you Leona and Chris. Love this walk, going up along the route on the video, or, if I'm a bit short of time, going up the short way from Loughrigg Tarn up the stepped path to the summit. Great views both ways.
I love your videos and your books Eric. I was in the Lakes last month and did a few walks from your Walks around Ambleside book. Enjoyed every second of it. Hoping to get back very soon to complete a few more. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Alan. That means a lot to me. It was a fabulous book to do, and has been very popular. I hope your return visit is as memorable as your first. Many thanks. Eric
jonathancraigguides I managed to walk the Langdale Pikes yesterday in glorious weather following one of your guidebooks. It was absolutely brilliant and the views were stunning. Been wanting to do it for ages and finally managed it. I never tire of all your videos Eric. I hope you make some more.
@@alanglasgowbassist Glad you enjoyed it. Fear not, more videos on the way, in fact, a new one in production even as I write, although it has to be said that the views are not as spectacular as on the walk over the Pikes.
Very good and informative video, keep em coming. I have camped on the edge of Loughrigg Tarn , thought I was in heaven at first light when I woke up first morning, beautiful place
Hi Jonathan, very enjoyable video. Very well put together and very engaging. On top of that, we got to view some of your dancefloor moves. Excellent. I just had to subscribe 👍👍👍
Thank you. Yes, there was a time when I was well known for clearing the dance floors throughout the whole of the North of England. Dad dancing at weddings is my speciality. I'm glad that was not the only part of the video you enjoyed. It is a superb walk, although the original route as planned when I set off to shoot it was not possible due to a path closure and footpath repairs, so a small detour had to be made. Thank you for subscibing, hopefully there will be more to see very soon.
Loughrigg was my first back in July Jonathon. Done it from Ambleside over the top to the tarn then up to a wood that comes out at the terrace overlooking Grassmere. Absolutley stunning and its got me hooked. Done helm cragg and fairfield since hoping to get back in November again. Great videos by the way.
Thank you Ian. I have to say that once the addiction starts, there is no going back. So much to enjoy. Hope you have a fab time in November. Your route on Loughrigg sounds rather like that on my 'Around Loughrigg' video, one of my absolute favourite walks. ua-cam.com/video/_OfJXIaorSs/v-deo.html
This might be my favourite so far.. I think I would get lost on all those paths . Excellent views and a joy to watch you skipping with mountain fever.. ;)
Thank you. You are not alone in your opinion of it. Friends of mine tell me that it is the best I have done, although I have to admit that I am not so sure. It was certainly one of the hardest to do, as there were a lot of people around when shooting, and those final scenes were taken in the early evening. I've never been able to dance properly. Just off screen is a fellow fell walker who must have wondered whether I'd gone totally mad! Glad you enjoyed it.
When doing a comedy vid I got caught on what I thought was a deserted stretch of canal, dressed up as a spiv.. ;) People can be a pain and turn up at the most unexpected moment..
Thank you. My doctor didn't think it was very good when he saw it. 'you need to keep your head covered in hot sun' he told me. He doesn't know how hot it gets under that cap!
Perhaps you could get a smaller cap that only covers the patch. Maybe we're on to something here, possibly a dragons den epiphany. The patch cap sun blocker
lol :-) Think it has already been done. It's called a toupe. I've got some old brown shag pile carpet up the loft. Maybe time to create for myself a nifty looking hairpiece.
Thank you Alistair. I walked through Neum Crag on a Saturday in May 2017, on my way from Loughrigg Tarn to Skelwith Bridge, avoiding the road. Perhaps we passed by each other without realising it. There is a shorter route from Loughrigg Tarn to the top of Loughrigg Fell, a short steep climb, but the one on the video is very pleasant. Hope you enjoy it.
Alas Alistair, our paths did not cross. I took that walk the week before the spring bank holiday. I'm pleased that you are enjoying my guides, as I really enjoy making them. I also enjoy chatting to the people I meet on my travels around the district, and I always think that May is one of the nicest months of the year to be enjoying this wonderful part of the world.
Thank you. It is a fabulous walk. I haven't created a map or route directions personally, however, here are two links that will help you on your way. The first is a short description of the walk, however, the writer starts at Skelwith, whereas my video starts at Elterwater. Other than that, it is the same route. www.fellscape-walks.co.uk/wLoughrigg.html The second features an image of the O/S map of the route, and photographs. From the layout it looks as though the writer goes round in the opposite direction to me. If you do this, note that the best views are often behind you. www.walkthelakes.co.uk/Walks/2003/LoughriggFell200602.htm I am currently working on a project to produce detailed walking instructions for my walks, to accompany the videos. If you are not planning to do this walk in the next four weeks then my route instructions may be available. I will keep you posted. Whatever your plans, I hope you thoroughly enjoy the walk. It is one of the most scenic of the lower walks in the South Lakes region.
Glad you enjoyed it. Mountain joy fever is very contagious. I've had it since I was sixteen and I'm just turned 26 now. (If you just turn 26, you get 62). No, I don't have a map of this one as yet, but if you let me know when you are thinking of doing it I'll get something sorted for you.
Absolutely delightful. I've just discovered your channel, and I'm so glad I did. Wonderful.
Thank you. Hopefully more to come when restrictions are over.
Me too Rich. Reminds me of many happy holidays in the Lakes
Loving your videos. Very informative. Loving it.🔥

Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Awesome. Thank you I had to laugh which is always good medicine.
Glad it brought a smile. It was the end of a long day.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Brilliant video!!
Thank you.
I'm new to the channel and I'd just like you to know I think your videos are great and I'll be following in your footsteps on many of these walks!
Thank you Mark. I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos, and I hope you have a great time when you get on to the fells to do the walks.
Brilliant Eric! Loving the Mountain Joy Fever.
Thank you Matt. I've had it for years.
Brilliant Eric what a great walk, a different way up to Loughrigg thanks for the recommendation take care Leona and Chris

Thank you. I have to admit to a similar feeling the first time I saw it 40 years ago, and it never ever fails to lift my spirits.
Another great film!
Thank you Dave. A walk I never tire of.
Loughrigg is one of my favourite walks...only small but well worth a visit, wether on foot or bike...
It is certainly one of my favourites. Many years since I was last there on a bike though.

Lol. :-) It always happens when you least expect it.
Get some sun on my bald patch lol. Your tour guide videos have got to be the best there is on youtube, surely.
Thank you. My doctor didn't think it was very good when he saw it. 'you need to keep your head covered in hot sun' he told me. He doesn't know how hot it gets under that cap!

one of my faves...enjoyed that we'll done :)
Thank you Julie. I always think Loughrigg is like an old friend. Go to keep going back to.
what a lovely walk . thanks for sharing atb mo and gill
+Mo and Gill Outdoors Thanks for that. For a low level walk it takes some beating.
Stayed at nuem crag in may 2017, walked lots of that area, will definitely do the walk over the top this or next year.
Thank you Alistair. I walked through Neum Crag on a Saturday in May 2017, on my way from Loughrigg Tarn to Skelwith Bridge, avoiding the road. Perhaps we passed by each other without realising it. There is a shorter route from Loughrigg Tarn to the top of Loughrigg Fell, a short steep climb, but the one on the video is very pleasant. Hope you enjoy it.
jonathancraig guides. Hi was there from 1st to 5th of may, really enjoying your guides.
Alas Alistair, our paths did not cross. I took that walk the week before the spring bank holiday. I'm pleased that you are enjoying my guides, as I really enjoy making them.

Great!!! thank you!!
Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video.
Thank you.
No thank you watched about 6 or 7 of them now so full of information Makes you just want to get out there.
Which gives me the perfect reason to go out and make some more.
stunning
+Andy Whiteside Thanks Andy. It was on that day, the afternoon air was really clear.
Any chance of any new videos? We miss your unique style. 😁
There is every chance of a new video or two, all I need is the time to do them. Oh, and a bit of decent weather!
@@jonathancraigguides that’s wonderful news. PS it’s sunny now…get your boots and the car ready!!
@@BantamGX Get the car ready?! Now that's a big job. She'll be 20 years old next year. People have dodgy knees, the car has creaking ball joints!

Haha mountain joy fever enhanced by eating cake and biscuits. Eric do you have a link to a map of this one.
Glad you enjoyed it. Mountain joy fever is very contagious. I've had it since I was sixteen and I'm just turned 26 now. (If you just turn 26, you get 62). No, I don't have a map of this one as yet, but if you let me know when you are thinking of doing it I'll get something sorted for you.
