MOSEDALE HORSESHOE - KIRK FELL, PILLAR, SCOAT FELL, STEEPLE, RED PIKE, YEWBARROW - THE WESTERN FELLS

- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- This route begins at the Wasdale national trust car park and is a big one.. There is an option to skip Kirk Fell but once on your way to Pillar there is really no turning back as routes down from here can be difficult.
Getting to Pillar is roughly the half way point and a wonderful ridge walk past Scoat Fell, a short out and back to Steeple before Red Pike and the ascent of Yewbarrow.

Brilliant well done on your adventure i had simlar solo although without kirk fell and skirted yewbarrow due to phone dying but glad i did watching here still though an inspirational vid thankyou for sharing
It would be a great fun ascent to Yewbarrow if ya weren't knackered by the time you come to it.. there's only 1 real feasible way to it and its the long way round, unless you were doing the 1 single fell of Yewbarrow i spose.. yea good fun, thanks for watching chief, i appreciate it :)
@daveostlemountainman I've followed you starting from when you slipped last time on Mosedale route up blacksail pass but what inspired me to watch more was the glaramara one which also I felt with in drab conditions was not fun but a learning curve but still great footage so glad you share your experience and a pleasure following you thankyou cheers to future hiking and enjoy binsey 😀
@daveostlemountainman yewbarrow is a pain we did on a separate one btw which I would go back to for the lake views
@@marksalmon6773 aye that was a painful walk up pillar that day but a rare beautiful day in the area.. ahh yes glaramara has tried to kill me twice.. I'll be leaving it well alone in future Haha
That was a bloody ball breaker mind! I did Kirk Fell with Ashley Arnold and his wife about 2 years ago but we went up in-between Kirk Fell and Great Gable, so we ended up doing both summits but together with 7 hours of driving for me, made it a tough day. Two female friends of mine came down the nose of Kirk Fell, falling several times each and ended up in tears when they got down. Dear God, I hope that speedo dancing does not come off mind - yikes! That was one pull to to Kirk Fell mind, you could not pay me to go up or down the nose on Kirk Fell. I need Red Pike and Yewbarrow and I hope I get better weather than you, it looked brutal and I hope you did miss a nice easier way up and down. Really felt for those poor sheep and I blame the owners not the dog, who is just following its instinct. Fair play to you all, that was one hell of a route, cheers Alan
Aye I remember your video doing gable and kirk, looked a more pleasant route.. I am definitely coming back to do this again in the summer (skipping kirk fell of course).. The views must be incredible as you spend most of the day above 800m. There is a gradual path up Yewbarrow round its rear but I believe its still quite a chunk of scree.. If you just need those 2 I'd probably go up the path I came down on. Thanks for watching Alan, tek care lad :)
Your videos are a damn sight more enjoyable than anything that Ronaldo fella could pump out. Thanks for keeping me entertained and inspired.
thank you fella... i intend to go back and refilm this route very soon as the weather couldnt have been any worse.. sometimes ya gotta just get ya head down and power through.. Ronaldo would have been blown away by these winds.. haha
A brilliant walk, just a pity the weather was so awful. Glad to see you did Kirk Fell straight up the nose; this is without doubt on the THE steepest climbs in the Lakes. I've been up the path you came down, and thought at the time that it must be tricky descended it. The walk onwards to Pillar is very long, and surprisingly tough. The path onwards to Scoat Fell is very sketchy indeed, especially in the clag. I love Yewbarrow; it's my favourite fell of them all, but the climb up Stirrup Crag (or down it) is very tricky indeed. At least you've saved one of the easiest fells for your last one, you'll really enjoy it. Despite only being small; it has a lovely summit. Enjoy it, Dave - you've earned it!
Cheers Mal.. Aye always intended to end there.. Can see it from our back garden so it'll always hold special place to me.. Bit nervous for my first ever wild camp but getting one done should open up a few more doors for me in what I can do.. Yea its a great walk, will definitely be back on a shorts n tshirt day to enjoy it properly.. Tek care lad :)
Never done Kirk Fell direct, always come to it via Pillar or Gable. Well done. Great walk, and a very tough one in somewhat trying conditions you might say. Give us a wave from Binsey, I can see the top from our house.
av told ma parents to get their binoculars out next fri night and they also may see me up there :)
Another monster walk Dave😀😀...Binsey will be an absolute doddle after that one. Havent done the front or back of Kirk Fell as we did it after coming down Great Gable. Shame the clag prevented the views as they are great from there. Thanks again lad and look forward to your last one.....tek care..
Aye I always intended this to be an easy finale.. however as its my first ever wild camp am probably more apprehensive about this one than any other.. Weather is looking reasonable so fingers crossed my tent does the job.. Thanks for the support as always, tek care too :)
Well done Dave. I hope the couple reported the injured sheep😕
my walks are never that eventful.. was just the worst case scenario to lose a dog in that kinda visibility and wind.. Thanks for the feedback, cheers :)
Epic stuff Dave, hats off to you. I did that route years ago in similar conditions, but we wimped out on Yewbarrow at the end. Looking at this I'm glad we did 😬
aye i could have done without doing yewbarrow but needs must at the time.. dont think ill revisit it too many more times but rest of the walk felt epic even in clag.. thanks for watching, tek care :)
Excellent dave bloody top respect for getting thru these on this day and big up d Hewitt and the boyo when a man's got to go he's got to go well done lads 8 cans of cider and whisky now we talking hahahaha hope it's clear for this one that would be a real good ending to these wainwright's for one clear day to finish off with your cigar and a tipple fingers crossed 🤞 you deserve it pal from where you started to where you have got class mate
aye the early forecast for next friday is very little wind, so al take that even if theres nee views.. Just hoping not to shit masel to be fair and ill take that as a win haha.. Cheers for all the comments Lee, appreciate them mate, tek care :)
Yeah hope the weather is just dry like you say veiws is nice but the rain is worse finger's crossed I need to be back down Friday as a guy txt me he's found my mic at steel knots so buzzing 😀
Well done Dave. Epic hike that in any conditions. Kudos to you for getting round in all that clag. I did the horseshoe opposite way round to you but didnt include Kirk Fell and it was still a tough day. Enjoy your last Wainwright Summit whenever youre doing it and enjoy the beers 🍺 you deserve em
Yea ive completely forgotten what its like to walk in shorts and tshirt now.. resigned to the fact it might be like this all summer but that wont stop the videos.. Few beers on Binsey next weekend and al figure out whats to come next.. Thanks for watching lad, tek care :)
yea Dave that walk looked quite a bit challenging. some of those drop-offs looked like they were pretty far down even with all the fog it was pretty cool.
Dwayne
i think they look more scary when in the mist.. just the fear of the unknown i guess.. ill try it again on a pleasant summer day where i can just sit down and chill on them a bit :)
Cheers Dave for letting us on your journey there has been some funny and fantastic moments a toughie on this one not least because of the stress of the lost dog 😢but even moreso if it has done damage to the sheep not nice for you to witness or for us to listen to. I hope you have a fantastic night on Binsey ATB and keep safe Peaceout 👍
aye i could just hear em shouting up in the clag for 25 mins or so, was heart-breaking cos that landscape was vast and although i was knackered by this point i had to try help somehow.. it was now or never really as it was such a small dog.. Thank you, hopefully no wind on Binsey. Tek care :)
Another big yan Marra you've smashed em...well done 😊👍🏻🍻
Just a larl stroll eh.. Cant wait to get back int shorts n tshirt tho.. Cheers for the support, tek care ol lad :)
Summer is on its way Marra 😊🌞🌞🌞🙏🏻
Never done kirk fell I want to but maybe if I do this walk I miss it out ,not sure yet. Well done though enjoyed again xx
easy enough fell.. probably one thats best/safer combined with great gable to avoid that nasty descent.. Thank you for the support :)
I'm amazed you made it round, Dave, that was one tough hike in the clag. Up the nose of Kirk Fell is a killer, I went up from the Great Gable side. As for Yewbarrow, never done it, never want to do it! And you did all that plus 4 others! Take a break after Binsey, Dave, you deserve it. Regards, Ashley
aye i seen you came up kirk fell from the other side with alan metalman wasn't it.. there is an easier path round the back of yewbarrow which i might explore next time.. gonna have to do this one again in the summer (if ya fancy joining) i thinks for the views.. Thanks for watching lad, tek care :)
Well done Dave that's a tough walk .
Tell me about it.. am sure its fine when the suns out but al never descend kirk fell that way again :/
@daveostlemountainman it's tough whatever the weather. I've done it twice sunny and same as you both times said never again
Ey up,Marra, an absolute brute of a route that. In any conditions, but in those, blimey. I did Kirk Fell with Great Gable on a lovely day weather wise. I approached it from the back up a gully through Kirk Fell crags. I absolutely loved it. Looking forward to next Friday Marra. All the best, Dave 😀⛰👍🥾
aye i dont think its one al do too many more times in future.. mebbe nice to combine it with great gable actually, give me a chance to go up that vally av never been up.. aye thanks for watching Dave, appreciate it, tek care lad :)
@@daveostlemountainman ua-cam.com/video/5xT7v23kIEc/v-deo.htmlsi=r-a28xcFMFgc2jwO
Rather you than me! Thats a tough hike
oh i forgotten what its like to walk in shorts n tshirt haha :/
Great effort. Like being in a washing machine at times! Best wishes out there.
aye used your video for research of kirk fell and it didnt fill me with joy haha.. tricky decent on the other side tho, dont think ill do that again.. thanks lad, tek care :)
Good long walk that one Dave.
I didn't know you are on facebook, I can't find you on it.
Enjoy Binsey, it took us 16 minutes to walk up that one from near the gate where the few cars park.
16 mins is that all it takes... knew it was small but wow.. ill be carrying multiple cans of beer tho so might take me an hour haha
I just watched the bit with the dog and sheep. Brain dead people letting the dog off the lead up there. Hope the sheep was ok
Yeh 16 mins. We had horizontal rain at the top. I remember there being 2 large rocks up there which we sheltered at as my dad rang me at the top.. not for the first time.
@@Room6photography aye i doubt it was a big enough dog to kill a sheep but definitely chased it atleast 200m down hill
We are going back there again but in dry weather and every fell kills me but I still go back to get killed some more
yea im definitely doing that also.. makes sooner rather than later infact.. i know i missed some of the best views in the entire lakes.. mebbe skip kirk fell next time for an easier ride.. thanks for watching, tek care lad :)
