Hi John. Enjoyed that very much. The pillars up there were built by the surveyors of the pipeline far below from Haweswater to Longsleddale and onwards to Manchester. Wainwright recalls walking the valley in the 50s. The whole length from the A6 bus stop. He then explored the head and sleept in the quarry buildings after the closure of Wrengill in 48. They are long since gone. It is as you say a delightful largely unspoilt corner of the Park, and we have spent 10+ holidays at the top of Longsleddale and explored every cranny. The bothy I believe was a farmstead rather than a miner's house. Thanks again for your hard work in producing a great upload.

Great video bud , i was up there today , similar conditions to your vid and there was a selection process going on , i spoke to a lad he completed it in 3hr 40 , unreal fitness on these lads

Short/Long...always great stuff...thank you John...

Great video, did this leg a few weeks ago.

Top video mate. Like the look of that climb. Will tell you a tale of Langstrath next time I see you!

Awesome video mate. That looks a cracking scree run. Smaller aggregates than those breeze blocks on Jura 😆

John, my wife wants you to put up the music you've used on this and your other videos, particularly this one and another she's watched, (5 tips about fell running), please. Great tunes as well as great videos, enjoyable, accessible.. Thanks

When I do this I usually end up shin deep in a bog!

Really nice video.

That was lovely, thank you! I think I am a bit too faint-hearted for that scree!

thank's for sharing your adventure John...looked like you had fun...well done...

Excellent account. Enjoyed watching great music choice 👍

Good work, John. Personally, I find the BG line up to Bowfell the worst line on the entire round, especially when it's damp. Most exciting scree run I've done is the direct line down in the Ben Nevis race, followed by the Borrowdale line off SP. I'll tell you another good one you could try although I know it's a trek for you: Red Gill off Grasmoor; it's really nice (comes off its SW side, go west from the summit). Yet to do the one you did in this run as like you, ran past so many times & told myself I'll get around to doing it at some point! Hope you're well mate :)

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed. Langdale is right next door to my Loughrigg backyard! It’s a cracking valley. Away last weekend but back home this weekend for my usual weekend in’t fells. Watching the weather as the weekend draws near. Thanks for all the effort producing and sharing these videos. I watched the Lords Rake one from last Dec / Jan. great watch. Another pair of shoes 😂 thinking of heading from grasmere to coast to coast path up on to helvellyn and along tops into threkeld. Off to source some micro spikes 👍

Hi m8 how often do you get to do this on average and do you do any supplement work other than the hills as looking to get into fell runs th?

Excellent stuff John. Keep up the good work 👍

Well done with that nifty scree running John. 👍 I once shreded my ass and shorts coming down red scree near Kirkstone.😅 Im laughing but it wasn't fun at the time. Just shows how careful you should be with the stuff. PS. What are the little stickers you often randomly have on your jackets mate? Great music BTW 👌⛷️

Great stuff John...very enjoyable...keep on keeping on...

Great video mate, managed to capture some wonderful landscape footage considering clag was down, love the shots of you running with the incredible back drop and the moody music very fitting. Good idea sacking Bowfell off in them conditions, when you know, you know ;)

Really enjoyed this - thank you so much for posting. I used to live Penrith way (20+ years ago), and did a fair bit of walking in the fells, plus running some of the easier/smaller fells. Remembering what a treat it is to have a day like this - maybe even more so when it's out of peak season, so it's a bit grey and misty, and you mostly get the fells to yourself. What a treat also to have such an almost infinite choice of routes - you could do a different run every day of the year, and they'd all be good! 😊

so great to have you back with your wafflage! Looked a brutal climb up Glaramara tho! 😬

Hoofing effort John! 👊🏼

Nice one John, enjoyed that. You ran some distance from your camera - must have added a far bit of distance all that to'ing and fro'ing 🤣

What ambient tune was that John cos Shazam was useless trying to work it out.

Cracking Video as usual. many thanks 👍 What watch do you use?

Enjoyed that John. Many thanks for the footage and much missed waffles.😊 And in one of my all time favourite lakes area's. I've just got out of hospital after even more surgery and to see and almost breathe the fells along with you felt awesome 👍 I'm glad the change of tact with the strength training is paying off too. I've never been a fan of building leg strength at gyms for downhill running or speed. I have the thinist legs in the world and used to pass tons of heavy set runners on the downhills. Look forward to the next one. BW Pete

I'd be really interested to hear you talk more about navigation and how you choose a line etc

I had no idea of the secret bothie, really gets me thinking, I wonder how many there are and really want to set about finding a spot and setting one up, ace.

Good colours and all round mistiness . Thank you.

Top lines bud... my name is Neil... ruthless climb!

Ha - I was up on High Raise on Sunday am and the weather was the same! The rocks are really slippy atm. Ended up on my backside three times even with my VJ xtrm shoes. My route is Grasmere into Far Easedale, sergeant man, High raise, greenup down lining crag into Rosthwaite on the C2C route and then head over road and river side paths into grange. Bus 2 Keswick and then back to Grasmere. That climb up to Glaramara looked insane. Enjoying the videos. 👍👍👍

Great video John. Looking forward to my trip this weekend to recce the last leg of Bob Graham 👍🏼

Another great vid John. Interestingly, I rewatched some of your earlier videos the other day and it's impressive how far you've come in both content and style. Nice one pal, keep it up!😀👍💪

Looks a good little route that John, thank you. Where did you park please? I was trying to find it in satellite, but no luck.

Great video 👍

As ever great video. Always look forward to city dwellers lake district fix from your videos.

What trainers did you run this in? Awesome video 👏🏻

Like the slow motion waterfall 👌

thanks for the info, particularly the tip about filing the compass I am going to do that .

Great vid as usual, John. Hair's growing mate! The traverse lines around Great Gable are wonderful; a pain in the wet though and can be easy to lose in clag....in the dry though they're a blast! Weather like you had does make for atmosphere though, just below main cloud base at least; I tried to get above it last Sunday up to Pillar, no such luck. Likewise with the cost of these 'big brand' races charging the odds...for me personally, I could pay that but out of principle for a 22 miler I won't especially when I live here and could run that route any time. Each to their own though. I'll pay for an ultra as more 'value for money' where mileage is concerned. Pretty sure with all the entries they get, Rab certainly don't need to charge that much! Come do Ennerdale again in June John for £15...AND you get an extra mile :D

John, I think that was one of your better vids. You must have a great camera !!!. Very pleasant back round music 👏👏👍

We enjoyed that John. Excellent production 👍 Thanks.

Great stuff John...thank's for sharing...

Nice one John, I enjoyed that. I signed up to LIAD 2025 which was marathon money so I’m equally a sucker for it 🥴 Glaramara definitely going on the ever growing must visit/run list. Great video as always, thanks for taking the time to do it, it’s not often we get to indulge on such niche LD content.

Thanks. John. Enjoy your videos. The route down Hind Gill is entertaining.

nice ✌Been a "clagy" few weeks here in the Lakes. Hopefully it clears before May 25 😜

Really enjoyed that mate. Phone footage was spot on 👍 Looks a cracking route. I'm too.much of a tightwad to pay that, but will try to get up that weekend to support/heckle 😂 Fanny packs all the way for me too 💪

Glaramara is absolutely a class ridge line John... when you get chance take a line directly off it down to langstrath then back up to High raise... ace lines

JM, another inspirational video. I enjoy watching these and they provide motivation and ideas of where to go on the trails. Great one
