Nice one Carrie. One of my favourite dales 30s. I camped on the top. The Wellington bomber which crashed in 1942 only had one survivor, the rear gunner. He followed some fox hound tracks in the snow to a farmhouse. Later in the war he was shot down by anti aircraft guns and survived again as a prisoner of war. He died in 2017 I believe in Cambridge. These monuments help us to remember why we are free to walk the hills. Atb Carrie you’re turning out some great videos.
Hi Pete, it is lovely up there. Yes, I heard the story about the bomber, it's a fascinating piece of history and well worth remembering how we fought to retain our freedom :D
What a fantastic walk... those views looked awesome. I loved the ram with his very impressive horns, don't see many like that out on the hills! The clouds looked great, too! Great video, enjoyed it! 😊
Hi Jenny, yeah it is a great walk up to Buckden Pike. Can't say I've seen horns that impressive before! :D
Hi Carrie thank you for for sharing your walk with us arm chair walkers, Wharfdale and Swaledale are my 2 favourite valleys in the Yorkshire Dale's National Park, last time I was on the top of Buckden pike was back in 1990, and I did the whole of the Dale's Way that year too, that's a good walk to do too. atb Cheers Glenn it's a 👍from me
Hi Glenn, it's a beautiful area, I'll be back to walk Great Whernside soon. The Dales Way sounds like a great walk :D
Great walk, carrie, awesome views, clouds looked amazing
Thanks, it was a nice little walk :D
Looks great. It’s on our to do list! (Great vid too - we’ve liked and subbed to catch more) 🙂
Thanks for the sub, it's a great little walk :D
Good morning Carrie.
Beautiful start.
The sky looked so good.
Yes the views were amazing from up there by the trig.
Clouds can add to views with the sun shining.
Nice ram, he left you alone.
Nice quiet one for you.
Well done👋
Hi Jamie, that ram looked very grumpy. Have you managed to get to the Lake District yet?
@carriehikes
Sorry for the slow reply.
I've been out to Wetherspoons.
£1.49 a pint cheapest pint £1.10😁
I had 3. Big spender.
No not yet.
I'm camping near Pen y Fan Brecon Beacons Friday, walk and camp.
2 weeks later Snowdon camp on lake there. Probably The Shropshire then and finally Scafell Pike, Helvellyn and some waterfalls October now.
I walk and don't film also.
I just like to be out sometimes and just enjoy it.
Your videos are good Carrie.
Keep having fun❤️👋
@@JamieHarding5 £1.10 a pint! That's how much we paid for beer in the 90's, back in my student days! Sounds like you've got some good trips planned. 😄
Alan Metalman sent me over! You have my support. I trust his recommendations. I subscribed and look forward for more.
Thanks for the hike video. Enjoyed fully! Fabulous walk indeed.
Hello and welcome! Thanks and I hope you enjoy the channel :D
A new place for me, so really interesting and despite the moody conditions, it looked perfect hiking weather. Canny walk up and a great lunch indeed and what a great memorial that was, great to see these guys remembered. very impressive walk and just plotted a route for myself to do it, at some point in the future - top notch walk indeed, cheers Alan
Hi Alan- you will enjoy the walk, easy parking in the car park and then straight onto the trail :D
Another good trek out there. I love the Yorkshire Dales, beautiful. And one of my favourite routes. Cheers, Warren :)
Hi Warren, I see you did a wild camp up at Buckden- I'll have to watch that video, it is a nice area and very accessible☺
@@carriehikes I have visited many time in the past years but twice recorded on my youtube, well, one to the top and around to the memorial and once just up from Buckden village for an overnight. Such a lovely area. :)
Banging these vids out carrie 😊 those clouds are looking dull 👍
It was a cloudy day, but kept the sun off! ☺
Absolutely beautiful video and thanks for sharing this video. I enjoyed watching it. New sub
Thank you :D
A truly beautiful hike 🙂
Yes, it is a lovely walk, a very beautiful dale :D
Try to get up there at least once a year, it's always a special treat if the visibility is good enough to see the eastern lake land fells. It is a bit of a big trotters paradise on the way down though😂, even at the best of times. Thanks for the video.
Hi, yeah it's a great place to walk to. The views are amazing, thanks for watching :D
First time up there Carrie and a result - few people to distract you, which is always nice. That ram sure did have some good horns. It must be something about the hill. Good going. Mark
Hi Mark, yes it was surprisingly quite up there but that's the beauty of the majority of the Dales compared to the Lakes and the Peak District- peace and quiet :D
@@carriehikes Hey, sounds like you have your favorite areas Carrie. It's nice to have places you can trust in.
Lovely. I'm sure you know the story about why the war memorial is there. It's fascinating.
Hi David, yeah the history of the plane crash is fascinating. As always, thanks for watching :D
Hey new sub here 🥰 I’m a fellow Yorkshire hiker too but never been here before! Looks beautiful!
Hello and welcome! It's a great little walk, you'd love it :D
@@carriehikes I will try it out soon 😍🌞
