Armboth Fell and Brown Rigg.

#wainwrightfells #lakedistrict #214fells #walkingthewainwrights #wainwrightwalks
In this film Andy Beck takes a walk in the Central region of the Lake District. Visiting the Wainwright Fell of Armboth Fell and it's unfrequented neighbour, Brown Rigg which was on Wainwirght's originallist for inclusion in the Pictorial Guides. The terrain in this area is noted for it's lack of drainage but even on these lesser fells there are some merits such as the fine viewpoint of Fisher Crag.

Another breath of fresh air production Andy. Really enjoy the escapism & can almost smell the scenery & beautiful fells. Thank you for sharing..

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you John. As the footage was from back in 2017 I am pleased with how it came out. And yes, great to relive and share the days on the fells, no matter which fell it is. Thank you for your comment.

[@robertjohn2213]

Thanks David

The memories came flooding back watching this film and yes, a good pair of boots can't be recommended enough. Usually a good place to catch the odd 'fast-jet' flying up Thirlmere but red deer on the Lakes Fells is always a heart warming sight. Thanks for the film Andy.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Graham, yes, Fisher Crag is a good spot for plane watching, in fact one flew by as I was there but wasn't fast enough to catch it on film. On the several times that I have been on AF I have nearly always seen the deer, they seem to hang about near launchy gill.

[@TheCheshireWanderer]

Fantastic as always Andy. Just what's needed during lockdown. I managed to get up Heystacks in the summer and can't wait to get back. Until then your videos get me as close a possible. Atb Mike.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Mike. I cant wait to get back out there, especially as I need to for my new project. They will have to wait though .

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Wonderful Andy, and as I’ve, or should I say did spend quite a bit of time around Thirlmere this will be my first trip when we are free to do so. Thank you for sharing this, just the medicine needed. Keep well, stay safe and all the best to you and your family Andy.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Mali, thanks for watching. There is plenty of potential for images from Thirlmere and I am sure you will once again turn up trumps when you get chance for a visit. All the best.

[@RockStar67]

Great video Andy walked all over this area multiple times love the wildness and remotest up there lots to explore great views and on a good evening beautiful low sunlight....never really had a problem or even noticed a problem with wet ground as you say its just a la'al bit soggy no horrible deep bogs as such to dissappear up to your neck in. Love the format of you videos mate as I'd expect like everything you do very professional with a lot of work put in Cheers Andy ATB Andy.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment. Keep up the great work.

[@stevedootson9798]

Another brilliant production Andy...thank you so much for doing these films! I could have done with seeing this before the Christmas Quiz...the view of Ullscarf from Armboth was the one question I got wrong. I love the calendar behind you in your office with “forget it” scrawled across Jan 2021!!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for the kind comment Steve. Yes, that clue in the quiz caught a few folk out. Hopefully I will not have to scrawl that acorss the calendar for too many months in this year.

[@robingrant8082]

Hi Andy. I found your channel via Mali's recommendation. I really enjoyed the vlog and look forward to seeing more. Kind regards Robin.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Robin, welcome to my channel. Yes, I love Mali's work and his enthusiasm. Thank you

[@mrlionrocks]

Just discovered your channel andy, really brilliant work, you put a lot of effort in and its greatly appreciated. I have recently been going through hard times and your videos have been a lifeline, taking me back to days on the fells. Keep up the good work

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Hi Mr Lion. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my video. I am glad that you have found the channel and are enjoying the content. I hope to post more films shortly so keep watching.

[@ianthomas1959]

Hi Andy....another fantastic video, many thanks. Definitely inspires one to get out.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for the comment Ian. Yes, I cant wait to get back out on to the high fells myself...stay safe

[@glass94th]

Fisher Crag is one of the few tops I have still got to do around there and amazingly Brown Rigg is the other- so very timely. (if only we were allowed out of course). Good video and well done.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for the comment Graham. I think that the recognised top of Brown Rigg will be well worth a visit and will it's near neighbour, Bell Crags.

[@glass94th]

@@AndyBeckTeesdale Bell Crags is a fine summit but the whole Thirlemere western edge has much to offer- The Benn and Castle crag are two relatively unknown favourites of mine but best of all is the ridge from Dobgill car park, over Birks Fell up to Ullscarf- easily the best way up an otherwise dreary fell. Very quiet though, so don't tell anyone. Oops. Incidentally after getting your book for Christmas (FYI from the Cockermouth bookshop) I am looking afresh at many of the fells- lockdown may be a pain but I am putting it to the best use I can.

[@lesleyritchie4691]

Great vid as always Mr.B. I was last up there with you, I remember that large stone that you kidded me saying it actually was a manhole cover and I was trying to open it!!!!!!! Good to see the Shepherds cairn again. I need to get up to Launchy Tarn....need to dip my hand. Will just do an out and back route I think. Really enjoyed this vid. keep them coming :)

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Lesley, yes I recall you doing that with the stone lol. It was a good day. Launchy tarn is a bit awkward to get too but I am sure that you will get there. Another film coming shortly....get your sketchbook out (Y)

[@petercooper7702]

Great video. I was up there yesterday and it was surprisingly dry(ish) following the prolonged dry spell. Excellent views on a dry, sunny day.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Peter, you were lucky with the weather then. :)

[@phillipbirchall8164]

Another great video, looks a nice walk, when i walked armboth, i came from high tove side, and as you said , its very boggy almost needed waders in places,

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Phillip. I recall that when i did the acent of the fell from High Tove we did it on the 4th Jan 2009 after a long period of really cold weather.We were able to take a direct line between High Tove and Armboth without getting our feet wet as the ground was frozen solid. I wouldn't do it otherwise :)

[@lolag4894]

Bell Craggs is the fell top you first referred to as Brown Rigg Andy 👍

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Actually no Darren, Bell Crags is further west of Brown Rigg and has a more prominent (pointed) top. It can be clearly seen in the film at 14.06 over to the right and at 15.42 where I identify Brown Rigg, Bell Crags is to the extreme right of the shot behind me. I appreciate you taking time to watch and comment though.
