My road trip book arrived this morning and I am so impressed. I love the lay out the QR codes and for me in particular how accessible places are as I need to use a mobility scooter at times. We visit the Western Lake District this September and having watched this video and purchased the book I am looking forward to our holiday even more.
Beautiful video, thank you. I’m terribly sorry you lost Archie. We lost our dog, Bella earlier this year too. We’re lost without her. It looks like Archie had an amazing life with you both, enjoying his walks, sausage rolls and chicken! Keep up your good work. I’ll be ordering your book when I hopefully venture up there next year. X
Awesome watch as always Robbie....lake district book arrived this week to go with the Wales one! RIP Arch sorry for your loss 💔...take comfort in the fact you gave him the best life.
We've been to the lakes many times but you've given us a load of new ideas. I remember driving Wrynose pass in my old Polo, bloody terrifying, foot flat on the brake and still accelerating! I'll be ordering the book, we loved the Ireland one.
I love the Lakes and loved watching your adventure, though I was expecting the sad announcement at the end, which was heart-breaking. So sorry for the loss of your boy. Me and my boy loved watching his excitement and enthusiasm. He was very lucky to have had such a varied and exciting life. So sorry.
Hi Robbie , fantastic video, so really sorry to hear about archie, really gutted for you, keep your chin up pal, we have a 8 year old staffy, he is such a good boy, we are are going up to the lake district 2 weeks on Saturday for the week, we have booked a cottage, our dog Rufus and my son and daughter in law are also coming with their 5 year old patterdale, it's my 67th birthday 2 weeks today , guess what I'm getting for my birthday, yes it's your guide book , will definitely definitely be doing a lot of the the places you have shown in the video, absolutely loved the video , can't wait to get the guidebook, looks really impressive, well done Robbie, and once again, so sorry to hear about Archie x
Western lakes is simply amazing, low crowds and Eskdale is a hidden secret, we just drove hardknott in a car, how anyone does that in a van 😂 my wife thought we were going to crash
Hi Robbie, I love the Lake District, I took my Mum every year as she had fond memories from when she was a guide. In my top 10 would be Watendlath, a stunning place with breathtaking views and Ashness Bridge, together with Buttermere, Derwentwater, Ullswater and my favourite,Coniston. I have your book and thank you.
Hi Robbie,just watched you Lake District trip on UA-cam,first of all so sorry to hear of the loss of one of your dogs Archie ,I’m sure he had a wonderful life with you doing all your road trips and walks together. My wife and I plus our little Frenchie Winston are heading off tomorrow to do the NC 500 together with your guide book and the stickers you so kindly sent stuck to the back of my van ,we had to postpone the trip last year due to van problems .So looking forward to the NC500 something I’ve fancied doing for a long time and thanks to the help from your book I’m actually on my way.Keep up the fantastic work ,don’t forget the Northumberland road trip you thought about doing. Regards Steve 👍
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my recollection is that you cannot take off or land a drone in National Trust property, yet on several occasions you did! How?
You should pronounce it Scaw-fell Pike not Scar-fell Pike. Scawfell is the proper pronunciation of the summit, and what locals call it. In old OS Maps it used to be spelt Scawfell Pike - but for some reason they dropped the 'w'.
Windermere is simply 'Windermere', not Lake Windermere. 'Mere' means 'lake', so what you are actually saying is Lake Winder Lake: you're welcome😂. I live in Cumbria, and you've shown me places I haven't yet visited, so thanks for that. Got your Scotland book, guess which is gonna be my next purchase?😉
Haha thanks for the tip, everyone I’ve talked to about the Lakes that isn’t local gets confused between Windermere the lake and Windermere the town so I thought I’d make it clear (although not entirely accurate) 😂 I’m guessing Ireland? 😀
"...and despite its name, there's only one body of water in the region that's technically designated as a lake". Compoletely untrue. Bassenthwaite Lake may be the only 'body of water' with the word 'lake' in it's name, but to claim that the others are not 'technically designated' as lakes is total bullshit. 'mere' and 'watetr' (which are included in the names of the rest of the larger lakes,) are words derived from historical names for 'lake' in cumbric, old norse, and anglo-french. Even the minor lakes - the 197 tarns are 'technically designated as lakes'. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a tarn is "A small mountain LAKE, having no significant tributaries" Surely you accept the OED as being important enough to 'technically designate' things?

That was a great watch Robbie and has given me loads of ideas for our trip to the Western Lakes next month. RIP little Archie. He was a diamond.

Great video. Northumberland is beautiful and so many hidden gems 😊
It really is!

Thanks Gill 😅 Wrynoss and Hardknott were certainly challenging in my campervan 🥹 Anyone reading this should probably avoid in anything 6m or longer 😂

Hi today i bought two of your books lake District and Wales road trips,
Holiday in north Wales and Anglesey in next week from
Thank you have a great holiday it’s a wonderful part of Wales 🏴
Thank you for a super informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Unfortunately a bloody mint video Robbie, us northerners like to keep it quiet you know 😂
Sorry about that 😂👍
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my recollection is that you cannot take off or land a drone in National Trust property, yet on several occasions you did! How?
It is permitted, but not on National Trust land apparently...
You should pronounce it Scaw-fell Pike not Scar-fell Pike. Scawfell is the proper pronunciation of the summit, and what locals call it. In old OS Maps it used to be spelt Scawfell Pike - but for some reason they dropped the 'w'.
Yeah I read conflicting info about this, thanks for the heads up 👍
Windermere is simply 'Windermere', not Lake Windermere. 'Mere' means 'lake', so what you are actually saying is Lake Winder Lake: you're welcome😂.
