Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a good walk, when you get there.

No problem! Head out of Ambleside on the back road that follows the River Rothay, to Pelter Bridge by Rydal and turn left. Follow this footpath west and after a couple of turns, you should come to the caves. Hope that helps!

Thank you! Glad you like them!

There are a couple of car parks - this is one: maps.app.goo.gl/PL95GEKyjadoyjvb6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Hello! That's so good to hear - tell him he has good taste (in hills and hats)! All the best, Neil

Thank you so much! Hope you have a good day for it - depending on your speed, it might be a longish walk for limited sunlight, but it's a cracker of a walk. The path south between Mardale lll Bell and Harter Fell is a good escape route, if needed. It doesn't go down meet to the Kentmere Reservoir, but tacks parallel to it up the hillside. There is a right turn off to Whether Fold and the weirs below the reservoir from Smallthwaite Knott, although I think I'd recommend sticking on the main path down to Hallow Bank and then Low Lane back to the start. Hope that helps! Let us know how you get on. All the best, Neil

Hello! We’re not releasing it publicly for now, because it has been submitted to several festivals who prefer films not to be available. If you email info [at] onyvafilms [dot] com though we can send you a link to the unlisted film. Hope that helps!

It's a hidden gem! Maybe one for November?

There have been a few closures due to accidents this year, but the Lakes are always worth a visit! Thanks for commenting.

Thank you! Hoping to get back on the hills filming soon - I've been working on a couple of bigger documentaries this year, which has taken up a lot of time, but always looking forward to getting back on the fells! Hope you have a great trip to Elterwater!

@@LakeDistrictFilms That sounds interesting.... I hope we will be able to see the fruits of your labour through here.

Wow, sorry to hear about the fall and recurring pain - I still get pain from a badly turned ankle last November, so I can't imagine what you're going through. Hopefully things will improve! Best wishes, Neil

@LakeDistrictFilms thanks. After watching your videos I gonna have to get back up there it's just to good to walk away from. My leg will heal one day I hope.

Thank you so much - I'm definitely planning on doing more! Hope to get something new up before too long. In the meantime, thanks again for your comment; it's much appreciated. Best wishes

Thank you!

Many thanks Michael. That's so good to hear! Hope you have a good day, when you get to the route - let us know how you get on. All the best

The hardest bit about Base Brown is probably route-finding - it's steep, but not terribly scrambly (other than the first little section by the beck) - you just have to pick your way through a few false leads around the Hanging Stone, before you get to the final ascent. Hopefully the film gives a clear idea of how to get round it! Good luck!

Hi Kevin and Barbara. It has been a while, but I'll be back soon! All well - just been working on a longer documentary, which will be out soon, and a project with Hardknott Forest, which is interesting but time-consuming! All the best, Neil

@LakeDistrictFilms thanks Neul, looking forward to it

Thank you - glad you're enjoying them - all the best!

Hello! Sorry - it's been a busy year, but we're working on it!

Thank you! That's really good to hear - hoping to be back with some new films soon!

Thank you!

Roughly between Wrynose and Hardknott passes.

Congratulations! It’s a lovely little hill, that! The Lake District in miniature!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello and thank you! No, I don’t use All Trails, but will look into it. I tend to use the Ordnance Survey app (and maps) - a lot of our walks should be on there. If there’s anything you’re particularly interested in, let me know and I’ll check!

@@LakeDistrictFilms thank you I need to get a plan together I want to complete 40 wainwrights before I’m 40 which gives me a year but I live 5 hours away so have to plan some routes that cover a few in one walk

@@amybowles4078 You're welcome - good luck with the Wainwrights. In case you haven't already seen it, I recommend this book as a good way of optimising your walks: www.wob.com/en-gb/books/stuart-marshall/walking-the-wainwrights/9781850587538?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwt4a2BhD6ARIsALgH7DrwzVageRVIx-nNkAhPNwQAvhuowkmmocEb1sMncNIgWrcXsc8Csu0aAiOhEALw_wcB#GOR002265088 My feeling is that some of the timings are optimistic (particularly for someone of average fitness), but the longer walks often come with two day alternatives.

@@LakeDistrictFilms thanks so much just ordered it I have the other wainwrights books I have just started reading, keep up the great work with your videos I’m still making my way through them but they are very good must take you ages, enjoy the rest of your weekend

A lot of people seem to be against the Fleetwith descent, and it is a little exposed in places, but I found it OK. The ascent is comparatively popular, and the descent off Haystacks, although steep in places is probably easier because each steep section is relatively short, and the walk down from Scarth Gap Pass to Buttermere is straightforward. Hope that helps!

Hello! Depending on your speed, it’s about a 1-2 hour walk. If you’re doing an evening walk, personally I’d walk it anti-clockwise, because the setting Sun reflects on the lake, beautifully. Hope you have a great walk!

I’ve never driven a motor home, so not sure if it would make it. If it’s any help, the busses drive over the pass, so if it’s just a matter of size, I think you should be OK! There are a couple of campsites in Buttermere itself (I think), and other good ones in Borrowdale - I’d recommend the one in Grange, which is basic, but lovely.

Thank you! It’s been a few years, but my recollection is that the path op to Pillar is reasonably straightforward and not exposed. The ridge up towards Little Scoat Fell from Wind Gap is a bit more scramble, but also not too exposed. The descent down Dorehead Screes is definitely steep and not enormously fun… the alternative way off is following the path to the west of Yewbarrow, which is fairly gentle, but significantly adds to the length of the walk, with a longish plod back up the road/Mosesale Beck back to Wasdale Head. It’s a great walk, all in all, but inevitably a long day! Hope that helps.

Thank you! To a delightful weekend in the country!

I went to Uncle Monty’s house around 25 years ago and got in to have a look around. It had not been used since the filming and the weather was very similar too 😂

The "classic" way up Skiddaw is probably from the car park/gate by Latrigg - it's not terribly steep, but it is long, and some find it a little boring. Great views back over Keswick and Derwentwater, though, so definitely not to be sniffed at! Alternatively, you could reverse the end of this walk, and go up via Bakestall, get to the top and go back, but that's also quite a long walk... Hope that's of some help - on a good day, any way up Skiddaw is worth the effort!

Thanks so much! I parked in a small parking bay on the road heading towards Orthwaite. Hopefully you can click on this link, and it will take you straight to it: goo.gl/maps/3nQvoPVa2S4AGRJZ9 All the best, Neil

Fantastic! Always nice ot have the top to yourself! Hope you enjoy other Wainwrights in future. All the best

Thanks for letting us know - glad to hear that you're still enjoying the Lakes. Best wishes

Hi. It's about a 10 mile walk, and around 3,430 ft/1,045 m of ascent, and is a long day... Possibly 8 - 10 hours, depending on speed and how many breaks you take!

That sounds great. There's a clip of the descent down Hawse End in our film of the Newlands Round (and bits of the Cumbria Way here and there in several other films!) Hope you have a good day/days for it - enjoy!

Thank you!
