@@Themaysoutdoors61 thanks. We got lucky with the weather too!

@@ivanshannon I used aluminium Y beam style pegs. They were fine but a bit soft for the stoney ground. I always prefer a twin wall tent. But it’s personal preference.

Thank you. I am planning to head back in 2025 but to camp this time.

@@ivanshannon Camping gives you lots more flexibility. I hope you get good weather!

@@outandabout- yes, this year I walked hut to hut from late June into July, lots of snow and lack of visibility at the higher cols but never too warm except first day

@@RuthSandham I had to look that up but The Skirrid is known locally as ‘the Holy Mountain’. This may have come from two sources. The first is the now-ruined chapel of St Michael’s on the summit, which was used by Roman Catholics after the Reformation. The second is from a popular legend, which tells how the dramatic landslide on the north of the mountain was caused by an earthquake or lightning strike at the moment of the crucifixion of Jesus. There was a local tradition that earth from the Skirrid was holy and especially fertile, and it was taken away to be scattered on fields, on coffins, and in the foundations of churches. Pilgrimages were made to the summit, especially on Michaelmas Eve.

@@Philippe-o9j thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. The animation is done using the Ordnance Survey web site app.

@@outandabout- Ok thank you, we'll have a look at it!

I started on 1st September. A week earlier and I would have had much more sunshine! But each year is different

Hi - no, I didn't take any freeze dried meals. I did buy a couple of packs of noodles and snacks once I got to Chamonix, and topped these up at various points along the route. There are opportunities to re-supply every couple of days. I also had lunch at refuges and restaurants along the route.

@@outandabout- Thank you very much!

@@sweeneyTodd-de4by thanks. There is a link to the Ordnance Survey map of the route in the description. I don’t use Alltrails.

It’s perfectly doable in a day. The biggest climb is at the beginning, with some shorter up and downs along the ridge. If you do it in the summer when days are long you can take breaks and take it steady.

@@Boyt212 Not very, but a good one if you’re pressed for time!

@@philheydon8132 thanks Phil! 😁

@@PhilipOlsen11 thanks, the views from the cliffs were amazing.

@@carolynkimbrey1423 Thanks Caz, it was a lovely day with Mr K

Thanks, you too!

@@ellengraham4677 Thank you for letting me know. That’s really nice to hear. You’re very lucky to have them on your doorstep, it’s a beautiful part of the country.

Hi, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that the drone footage was useful to you. Thanks for the credit 👍🏼

@@outandabout- thank you for your support!

Thanks Mark. Yes, got very lucky with the weather.

@@outandabout- A pleasure. As I said Robert Gibbings in his 1947 Coming Down The Wye said, 'it's no bigger than a bowler hat.' Yes, the weather was good.

Thanks - the video was from a couple of weeks ago (June 24). I have seen people camping down by the lochan below needle rock.

At least you picked great weather for the walk! And an extra bit of mileage is all good training! 🙂

Thanks - it really is a stunning location!

@@outandabout- That it is. But a long way from me, perhaps one day.

You’re welcome. Thanks for that comment too, it made me happy 😃

Thanks for watching and subscribing. The path on the ridge is fine but elsewhere it's more of a challenge. But worth it. Hope you get good weather.

You’re welcome. I got very lucky with the weather!

It’s a tough route. Hope you had good weather.

I hope you get as lucky as with the weather as we did!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. Yes it’s a great walk. I try to get out as often as possible. Lots of other videos on the channel 😃

@@outandabout- I'm the same. I get out as often as I can. Lake District for me soon. I can see you recently been up that way.👍

@@JamieHarding5 yes, one of my favourite places. I’m slowly ticking off Wainwrights. Wish I lived nearer!

@outandabout- Yeah long drive for me too. 5 hours. I'm having 3 nights wild camping there in a couple of weeks. I'll be busy.😁👍

Thanks. I add the route to all my walking videos. 👍🏼
