[@annelee-joe5146]

I can’t even explain how beautiful your production is. I love the narration and the quotes- it is refreshing and therapeutic to my soul. Thanks, from Down Under. ❤❤

[@FablesandFells]

Aw thank you so much 😊

[@LeeanneDevenny]

My brother recommended your channel and i am loving it . I am recovering from an operation and not able to get out walking just now your videos take me out into nature so healing and they are making me smile . Thank you

[@FablesandFells]

Oh that's lovely to hear that you are enjoying them. I hope your recovery goes well and thanks to your brother for the recommendation 😊

[@karenhodder8387]

As one of those "timid souls" I'm in complete awe of your fearless and adventurous spirit. Most of all, though, I love that your gentle, compassionate soul and deep love of nature, shines through all that you do. Your videos have a serene, magical quality that belies the sheer effort and hard work that has gone into making them. Wising you every success on your creative journey.

This content is absolutely 10/10, the music, scenery, comments, even the fonts chosen, absolutely phenomenal, I can't thank you enough. Sometimes people don't understand that what you might really need is something like this to keep you going and inspire me to change my life and start doing these adventures.

[@FablesandFells]

[@adamrice617]

I could watch your films all day. Just lovely. I’m not keen on the walk/drag up to the summit, but when you’re there it’s more than worth it 😊

[@FablesandFells]

Thanks! Yes some routes can be a bit of a slog - I usually find that with steep grassy slopes!

[@annrudkin923]

Truly beautiful. I'm certain my stress levels reduce just watching your videos. The music and photography is just so evocative. I probably won't ever get to climb the very high fells, but I can see their beauty through your captures. But, I've recently started walking the low Wainwrights. The Lake District is just heaven on earth. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@FablesandFells]

Ah that's so nice to hear, thank you. I really enjoy the lower fells, you feel all nestled into the landscape.

[@johnackerley6553]

Your narrative and choice of music work beautifully with the excellent choices you make on when and where to film and of course there's always you and the adorable Cam as an added bonus.

[@FablesandFells]

Thank you John, glad you enjoyed coming along 🗻

[@sundaymorninghikes6275]

I think I need to come up with another word as "relaxing" doesn't encompass everything your videos provide! I truly appreciate your efforts and the fitting soundtrack selections! And that view as you came to the turn! Outstanding! Thanks again and please keep up the great content!

[@FablesandFells]

Aw thank you so much 😊

Going on a adventure with dogs Rosie and Stanley is my best things i do during my whole year, totally forgetting the messed up world behind me, waking up listening to the birds, with a cup of tea with my dogs beside me and just listening to nature i feel at total peace.

I loved the Lake District that much we relocated from Hampshire in December 2022. Best move ever.

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh yes we did from Devon, though I do love Devon too.

[@jerryshaver2050]

Very beautiful place. I reckon that's what heaven looks like

[@FablesandFells]

Snow always feels magical 🙏🏼

[@ΑΩ1388]

There is a certain type of beauty that leaves you in a paradoxical mix of agony and ecstasy. Ecstasy, because the beauty is so exquisite. Agony, because the depth of it leaves you hopelessly unable to articulate a worthy response. This experience in the Lake District left me speechless. More please!

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh so pleased you enjoyed it 🙏🏼 I will try to make them a little more regular!

[@Maria-lt2tk]

I love this so much, felt like skyrim. One of my favourite films of the lakes. We did this hike in Feb 2023 and it was covered in snow, such a beautiful route.

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh love that (Skyrim). Thanks for watching. So glad you enjoyed it. This was March 2023, we had a real flurry again ☃️

[@paulwhite9948]

I have to say, outstanding. The Lake District is an outstanding place, have been 10 years running and still can't wait for the next time. Also have to say the music is outstanding.

[@FablesandFells]

Thank you Paul, glad you are able to enjoy the Lakes too 🙏🏼

[@markgumprecht2295]

Winter hiking can be a very special time, and incredibly peaceful, if it’s not too windy. I lived in the mountains for many years, sometimes I was the first person up a trail in fresh snow, no footprints, the trees covered with snow, just magical! Beautiful video, what an amazing area to explore. Places like this allow us to calm our minds, and escape the everyday concerns of life.

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh that's really special when you're the first. Almost makes me not want to make footsteps lol.

[@topotone]

Very moody amazing! Perfect music selections. Nature is the gift, and you have delivered a wonderful presentation of it. Super editing and commentary. Great energy in your sweet companion 🐶 Love your channel…I’ll be saying, I started watching when she had just a few followers, now it’s past a hundred thousand.

[@FablesandFells]

As an American, My elderly mother's friend is an English expatriate who returns occasionally and does this trekking. I knew about the Fells from a book on cycling the lake district and Wainwright is mentioned in connection. Wonderful series, recommended by James Social Cycling channel!

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh nice, it's a great area for cycling. I was just cycling around Grizedale forest this morning.

[@Nachtuil36]

Wonderful scenery of the Lake District. And your choice of music really adds lots to the images and the atmosphere !

[@FablesandFells]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

The music, views and calmness is lovely. A meditation for me, a moment for me to be still. Thank you.

'Of course I won't be very skilled to start with' 🤭 You're a natural Chloe, these are relaxing and beautiful every time 👏

[@FablesandFells]

Aw thanks 😊

[@cunningman]

The studies were correct. My stress has been lowered. Many thanks! Also, that wonderful quote of 'Yours' about stopping ourselves from trying something new, triggered something I really needed to hear in a long, long while, to 'clear the veil of uncertainty' if I may! And to hear it as you discovered yourself through your own pursuits and art made it all the more tangible. So, huge appreciation for that!

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh so glad to hear that. I really hope you go forward with renewed certainty that you have all you need within you 🙏🏼

[@terrydenton8267]

[@adamkissel4168]

Hi Chloe, I live in Australia, my mother was born in Ulverstone. I have been to the Lake District about 20 years ago backpacking with my wife. I climbed (in the snow) around three fells near Windermere, but I couldn't tell you their names. Just loving your videos. Keep up the great content. All the best.

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh really, I've had a few people say they are from the area but have moved to Australia. Glad to bring a little of the home roots to you 😊

Thats a great route you did there Chloe especially in those conditions..fantastic area too with great views..opening scene is great too gave me a viking sense which im fascinated with..im obviously familiar with the crosses origin but the mind can wonder too eh...You could have made it eight Wainwright's if ud walked off opposite side of Skiddaw to Bakestall..the quieter area over that side & the views are just as great looking out over the uldale fells..great stuff as always tfs..Andy.

[@FablesandFells]

Thanks Andy! Just been watching your misty camp this morning. Yes love the Norse history in this area, so interesting. Yes we do have Bakestall still to do! The usual parking was snowed in so we had extra road walking to do which made it enough for the day haha.

[@PhilCaisley]

I'm new to your channel Chloe but I've been climbing Wainrights for over 50 years. The best walks are along the ridges from peak to peak although I've never done the Skiddaw ridges in the snow. So I'm sitting here with Book Five and the OS map following along with you and wishing I was there on such a stunning day. Thank you for an amazing video.

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh thank you. Yes, it was such a spectacular day. I hope we have another good Winter season (this was quite late on). It feels so different doing the routes in deep snow.

[@LynnB_Ky]

Loved the video and the music. So beautifully crafted Chloe. What a mammoth hike and Cam loved the snow 🥰

Beautiful work. One small sectioning it reminded me of some times I have had hiking in winter on ridges in Montana. The wind could be blowing fiercely, conditions would seem awful and you'd think any animal with sense would be huddled up, but the ravens were swooping, tumbling and performing incredible acrobatic aerial maneuvers in the worst of it. I suspect these were courtship displays as I understand ravens court as early as January. But maybe it was just joyful play. Anyway, thanks for the video.
