Lingmell is such a good viewpoint and a lot quieter than Scafell Pike ! A good refuge from the crowds the same way Catstycam is from Helvellyn !

I did that climb 30 years ago. I take your point about crowds. My first mountain was Snowdon in 1972. I wouldn't go back there now. You have to queue up to get on the summit ! Destroys the whole point of being there in the first place !! Hope you did go back to Lingmell. There's a superb view of Great Gable.

the 2 hills closest to my home... havent done them yet, think i might have accidentally walked up faulds brow once upon a time but aye al be doin the same 4 walks in 1 day shortly.. good stuff :D

Excellent production values! Loved the sound effects as you levered yourself up Down Craig! Great stuff, thank you.

Great walk lads, just did this at the weekend, inspired by this video.. them waterfalls are something else.. not often landmarks like that outshine the actual fells... good stuff tek care :)

Not sure anything beats the LD in the autumn.

You folks are amazing. Our role models.

Great video x Mary's hair is fab!

Hello I really want to do this but a little nervous of the route... I've been told this one you have done is best for getting up red pike. I'm nervous about full hands and feet scrambling can you tell me how much is?

This is amazing, i'd love to take that route. Are you able to send a more detailed route map?

great thanks for sharing the video !

Fantastic video,scenic fells

Great video, our group (The Rossendale Ramblers) did a slightly longer version of this walk last week in very similar conditions. May 8th - I am enjoying your channel I think i'll subscribe!

We did this walk yesterday 10 May 2024, in perfect weather! We took your advice on that after watching this video. Thanks for the advice.

Great scrambling! I, along with 7 others, did the same route as you in May 2011. It came up in our FB memories. It's humbling the bond made with those other 7 which is still vibrant to this day. We actually threaded the Needle the other way round. In retrospect, much the easier way to do it. Then our route found us climbing past the the Sphinx... and along side but not on , Little Hell gate. Making the top near Westmoreland cairn via the Arrowhead ridge. All in all, a fantastic walk. I am now 74. So I feel your pain! Well done guys, I expect the memories of that day are just as fresh to you as mine are to me .

Great video, we're doing this walk tomorrow. I had a look on here and all the vids seem to be of the route from Hardknott pass so I'm glad I found yours from Birks Bridge as that's the route were taking. Hopefully the views we get will be as nice as yours. :)

Made up to bump into “the tour” on Gummers How this morning, 27/3/24 👍

That was a bit sketchy. I would need the rescue team on speed dial.

I love the fact that the highest point in the penines is still in Cumbria.

Oh dear, your Northumberland accent is dreadful. Mind, your a long way from home hinny 😳

74 years old 😮 wow! Fit as a fiddle. Great video.

loved enya while having your break

Fab!

Hello Graham - another great video, thanks. I have been looking at this walk as I want to visit Swindale Beck and see it now it has been re-naturalised to it's former course (as it was 200 years ago!). Was the farmer friendly? Did you just turn up and ask or did you give them a call beforehand? No worries if you can't remember, I'll just park before the cattle grid near the pump house :-)

Lovely video xx

I might do this a 2nd time really enjoyed this.

Re-watch of this chief and a very enjoyable one too. Still not done any of these but will be doing them this year and looking forward to them all excerpt 'Bessyboot and Glaramara', which to be honest, I have been putting off for years due to the awful descent down. I think (on a dry day) I will go up the steep stone steps from the camping site at Stonethwaite to Bessyboot, over to Glaramara and then on the Allen Crags and down via the tarns, may well be a heck of a lot longer but is sure looks a lot safer! Happy New Year to you, cheers Alan

Fabulous xx

Great video xx

Doing this tomorrow chaps. Been on my list for a while.

We finally got a copy of Wainwright’s Outlying Fells book. Nice to read a couple chapters and then watch a couple of your videos showing the walks. Thanks, Graham and Dave.

Thanks

Great achievement and video guys. What is the name of the instrumental music you used whilst on the ridge?

Brill, I think Mary you need to to sort Graham on the Cumberland dialect, especially Souther Fell ha, loved the Sharp Edge video, nice to see Dave's face popping up, used to love watching Dave, an inspiration to us all. I started doing Wainwrights when I turned 64. Have done 203 Wainwrights, then Covid came, stopped us in our tracks. Have done quite a few 2 or 3 times, around 350 in total. As Mary knows, living in Carlisle is ideal. Started on Catbells, remember saying " I will never get up there", have been up 11 times . Am 78 now. Great video.

Cracking walk, well done folks

Mary Ashbridge, checking High Pike, see you are always centre at start of The Fat Boys on Tour, cracking videos, lovely to meet you today 08/11/2023 John

Absolute credit to the three of you. That is a serious hike.

Very helpful!! Thank you for posting! Definitely my next Wainwright! ✊

Well done Boys, good trail vid 👍 I did the CW last year and my own set of videos. Just subbed 👍

My fell running club does a annual award for whoever gets lost worst 🤣 This looks like a good route despite the bogs

The footage along sharp edge is brilliant for anyone thinking of undertaking it , they will know what to expect and how dangerous it can be

“Determination is an action. Wishing and wanting won't get you where you need to be.”

Great video again with fantastic views especially from St.Sunday Crag

Fabulous video, captured the views perfectly. Really enjoyed the week in Glenridding.

Great Vid Graham. Love that valley. Only been once on my way down from Helvellyn dollywagon etc back to Patterdale so planning on returning and doing the ridge straight up to Nethermost pike

And I thought a officer with a map was scary.

Awesome video, Grisedale Valley is special

Another great video Graham. Wouldn’t expect anything else from you though. Looks like a brilliant walk. Never been in the Grisedale Valley. Magical place. Hoping to get some walking done tomorrow here in Scotland. Seems ages since I been in the “heartland” of the Lakes but I have been tinkering round the edges😂!

That's a great walk and a brill vid Graham. Did you get permission from Dalemain to cross the farmland at the foot of The Nab at all?

Cracking vid as always, Graham. Was out there in 2006 and this brought back some lovely memories 👍
