I love the pub clips at the end

[@lilbird4198]

Awwwww! No Phinn?! 🙁 Oh, okay, I guess you'll have to do, BC. 😊 Thank You for yet another wonderful sojourn. 💚

[@itsjustme9318]

Glen in this crazy insane world we now forced to live in your videos are a breath of fresh air!!! Very calming, soothing and genuine! I feel a sense of real peace while watching them!!! Love your attitude and your mindset you are an inspiration to live life to its full measure! RESPECT!!!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, means a lot 😊 🙏

[@jonathansutterby4081]

I was over the other side of the valley heading over Maiden Moor towards High Spy and said to my walking pals 'I wonder if Black Crag is over there *pointing towards High Seat/Bleaberry Fell - and threre you go -- you were. It sure was a beatuiful day - makes you glad to be alive (and so lucky we have this landscape to enjoy!)

[@dombrett6427]

Love how you show and name all the fells you can see. For us who are just getting to know them it gives me great inspiration to go back and walk them and remember the ones we have already done.

[@lascellesthornton1976]

It’s good to see your hard work starting to pay off. It’s well deserved !

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊 🙏

[@RobinDS-m1g]

I love walla crag. It was my first lake district mountain, aged 8 (ish). Thanks for doing all these awesome videos. Wish I still lived closer to this countryside.

[@boxd3474]

I suffer a bit from not sleeping well, guess you can call it insomnia, but your voice is so calming that it easily can put me to sleep 💟 absolutely love the views, and the way you explain things, everything in this video and in every video you make is amusing

[@stephendarlington]

Another great walk. Really shows off the beauty of Derwentwater

[@russellhomans2173]

Another great video Glen. It would be hilarious if the guy taking a leak got in touch and thanked you for the shout out.

[@davidthomas9079]

Once again, great work Glen. Your so right about the stunning views from Walla Crag, well worth the effort. We was up there 5 years ago in April and watched the most beautiful sunset...memories for life.

[@scottnicholls8304]

Another top walk/video! For me, the drone footage 5 minutes into the video with the music you played took my breath away! I'm looking forward to the next walk/video and looking to the fact that you're going to start throwing some wild camping in to split up some of the routes!👍🏻

[@dt8ustotten285]

In USA..thank you for showing us such beauty!! Your drone work just puts this video over the top!

[@stephenthompson1998]

No Finn aaargh, he always leads the way how will you cope!😮 My panic was unnecessary as you have created another masterpiece with great views. Excellent video well done.😅

[@StoneAgeProductionsAdventure]

Those view are something else. I actully kick myself from seeing this video as to why I haven't explored the lakes myself yet. Definitely gonna bump it up the list now! Thanks.

[@sharonrojas9569]

I like the hikes because of the beautiful scenery. Thank you for taking me along with you. (And yes, I miss Finn, too).

[@sarahdavies7851]

Really enjoy watching your walks. The scenery is stunning so thanks for sharing them with us.

[@varin5749]

I found your channel through the camping video, but I am really enjoying your other videos. It's nice to come along with you on the hikes, I enjoy the learning about all the areas and peaks and as a fellow photographer it's great to see you scouting locations. Also pro tip: don't disable ads, the KZbin algorithm will stop promoting your content if they can't make money from it. It sucks, but it's the way it works.

[@lesbeldon8299]

Sat down with a coffee and enjoyed another 30 minutes of great entertainment. Fantastic views, it feels like we are walking with you. Looking forward to heading back to the lakes soon. Really appreciate your efforts. 😊

[@davidburgess9058]

Amazing cinematography. Utterly breathtaking views. Really beautiful this part of the world. Loved every minute of it. Thanks for posting

[@chaliefarmer]

I got paralyzed at the age of 20....I cant walk up mountains really want too but enjoy other people that do.Thank you bro.

[@apollo12329]

Mesmerising Glenn, true professional, well done buddy

[@soniayoung7531]

Wonderful video beautiful scenery thanks for sharing stay blessed

[@sylvianblue]

Did walla crag last year. Derwent water has so much to offer, from so many locations, it’s just gorgeous. And ashness bridge is so pretty. Liking the way you label the distant fells. 🙌 it was cold when we went to the same pub….hot chocolate’s all round!

[@garyparker7494]

Cracking route love the way you highlighted the mountains 😊

[@matts74895]

Another great vlog Glenn. I spent many holidays as a kid, often twice a year in Borrowdale, so this was a real trip down memory lane. That corner of the Lakes is stunning. Thanks 👍🏻

[@adge_ventures4915]

As soon as that music starts 😁 Brilliant mate 🙂

[@andywithers4567]

Great film, mate. Super inspirational as I look to plan a first trip to the Lake District.

[@grahamparsons2642]

Im chomping at the bit to get up to the Lakes but i will be starting and going through the same sequence that you have done that way i can watch your videos again before embarking on my adventure. You are a true inspiration and you are educating me on all these fells and high peaks. I will be coming up for long weekends from Kent and trying to get to has many fells as i can until i have completed all of the Wainwrights. Keep up the great work, you are the number 1 when it comes to these sorts of adventures, your commentary, filming and audio are all of the highest quality.

[@jamstaa69]

Great video.. my friend and I have been visiting the lakes for years, usually at Christmas, and I did a fell run that when this side if Derwent, we realised a few years ago we’d never really been been up there for some bizarre reason.. Walla Greg, is a fantastic view… can’t believe we’ve been walking along that horrible road all these years instead, when doing a Derwent loop.

[@colinboxall2692]

Great watch as usual. Thankyou Glen. That whole stretch over wattenlath fells area is boggy. Those steps up from the farm at wattenlath up to the top high tove is very slippery when wet. Those views are insanely good from Walla Crag. I’ve walked over from the Thirlmere side (super boggy) and from rosthwaite over the top back to Keswick via Castlerigg. Dock Tarn is lovely.

[@Johnlancaster]

Thanks again for making the effort. Thoroughly enjoyed it once again.

[@benscott7004]

Had a great time at yesterday's black mass. Can't wait for the next one mate!

[@laurabulger2177]

Love your channel mate. I like to binge watch 😂❤😊 your videos always lift me up when im feeling a bit blue. Dont stop waffling either😂...its makes your channel great. Thank you for putting these on. You are an inspiration ❤

[@GingerCaptures]

Nice one Glenn, and thanks for another great meet up yesterday, enjoy Scotland 🥰📷👍🏻

[@vickiej5765]

Super love your videos Glenn. I am in the Rocky Mountains and you've reignited my love of hiking and I'm ready to get back out this spring. Just ordered La'al Yan for my little mountian pad:) Thank you....and yes, I missed Finn on this hike🐑!

[@lordb90]

Simply beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@DAoutdoors]

Wonderful video as always Glenn. Thank you ever so much for sharing. I get many ideas for my walks from your videos. Also my 'Hey Herdy' T-Shirt arrived the other day......love it!! Cheers Dave.

[@ethicalbunny]

Beautiful! I’ve not spent much time in the lakes but you make me want to ! 😊

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you.... There's a lot on offer here 😊

[@juliedunston903]

Just watched you for first time on that crazy windy place in Lakes ! Well done for surviving that !!! Have subscribed

[@celestenova777]

Great views and commentary 🏞, very enjoyable.

[@ANFreeman91]

I've not been to this side of the Lakes in years, but those views... Time to plan the next trip I think! Great video as always! Loving the drone footage, and that shot of Blencathra was epic. The Patreon list at the end was a nice surprise, too :D

[@jonm4989]

Feels like your channel is building up some great momentum. Fair play Glenn you’ve stuck to your guns and are now getting your just desserts. A lovely part of the Lakes, beautifully filmed!

[@Daydreameruk]

I am so so pleased i found you. Your gear is such quality, your use of it is faultless. Those views, woah! And the labels were just so fantastic. Really loving your work.

[@patriciahernandez9661]

I love the scenery it’s beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure!

[@philipjones637]

More movie trivia. Walla Crag is the opening scene of Tommy. Tommys Ma & Pa are having a picnic there looking out over to Catbells. Walking the movie locations may be a future series😂

[@medievalladybird394]

As always, stunning! And, by the way, no ads whatsoever.

[@gordonharker4705]

Awesome doing that walk next weekend. 😊

[@mickgrundy4615]

Thanks for sharing that, great veiws .

[@cristinabenavente199]

Really enjoyed this walk and we are hoping to do this one in end of May, hope that pint was refreshing!

[@grahamtowler1761]

Must admit love your walks ,just get to see the most amazing scenery

[@paulradford7290]

Another great Video Glenn. I remember doing this walk back in June 2021. Luckily it had been dry for weeks so the bog wasn't as bad. Stunning views!

[@NeilHolland]

I've been waiting for your vlog of this walk. Did this one a few years ago in wet, gloomy conditions. Really did feel like the infinite bog of despair then! 🫣 I did it in reverse and that walk up Ashness Gill was beautiful. Bloody stunning film, those drone shots, coupled with that music, just 🤯🙏 Looking forward to the rest of this series and familiar fells. Mind, I'm going to break my Far Eastern fells virginity this spring, thanks to your inspiration. I'm thinking something around Angle Tarn Pikes as an introduction 👌

[@Hiker1958]

Best video guides for Wainwrights. Great work Glen. ATB

[@johnnyg834]

Great stuff! Glad the four-legged frolicker wasn’t with you; she might have disappeared in the quicksand!

[@richardborley7326]

OMG Apart from the rest of the vid the drone footage was insane . Thank you so so much Craggy. 🙏🙏🙏

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Another beautifully illustrated and informative vlog many thanks 👍

[@drewbrown1525]

Another great vlog Glenn. As a waterfall lover,fancy the walk up from Ashness Bridge, looks great. Also planning a Lakes trip later in the year and want to avoid the hordes,so looking at your superb vlogs may do High Rigg and Small Water,Haweswater.

[@burrianaUK]

Another quality video mate 👍🏼 Great to see you and everyone else yesterday, even with your trademark weather 😀 So glad I hung on and car-camped - today was bright sun and sweltering! 😎

[@roytomkinson9350]

Stunning Glen

[@steventhomas231]

Fantastic. Only done 2 in the central fells so looking forward to this series.

[@adrianhebberts8683]

Another great route and work by you love it did walk all way round derwentwater going off up to ashness bridge annd the view point

[@Merritt7278]

Done the exact route last june, it was terrible weather and it was nice to see what we was missing view wise, couldnt see 10 meters infront of us and it took a while to find High Seat lol, remember it being a bog in June, will have to do it again sometime when the weather is better. Nice views though for yourself.

[@garymartin557]

Glen. You are my favourite You tuber of this Genre.

[@willbo2000]

Cracking stuff mate, fantastic walk and glorious views.

[@Stephentoutdoors]

Excellent video per usual, did this route couple years ago in the bearing heat , realised bear bleaberry I forgot my water. Oops suffered a little and just wanted to lie down and sleep at times , when I got to ashness Bridge I just chucked myself in ha , on way back to the car I decided to walk in and along Derwent water to cool down , great walk

[@nealjoyce8696]

We walked the infinite bog of despair last week with two dogs (bog dogs) and then a cheeky birthday dinner at Lodore Falls hotel….beautiful walk, but definitely wet feet were the order of the day 🤣😂

[@barralass352]

I have just watched this and loved every bit of it including the 1 advert relating to arthritis or as they pronounced it Arthur itis ..who ever he is 🤣.

[@valbain209]

That is majestic.

[@J.S1975]

Another great video Glen. I wish you'd had done this one a few weeks ago before we went up high seat. We went from the Grange, up Grange fell, over to high tove, and across to high seat the way you said not to go. And yes, it was terrible. Think we could have swam across quicker. You keep walking, we'll keep watching. 👍

[@Happy_Hiker]

Great video.. as always! 😊

[@stephenthompson1998]

Great choice of pub, recommend their lunch time menu!

[@davidbutterfield8911]

Until yesterday I was totally unaware that if adverts were skipped, the blogger gets nowt! So I’m pleased to say I sat through an Orangutan advert and three others. Small price to pay to see a quality vlog from Mr Cragg! Usual high end stuff Glenn and a pleasure to walk alongside a top bloke yesterday. Enjoy Assynt and I’ll be waiting to see the results. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@burrianaUK]

Hi David, not sure if they get nothing, or it is reduced, but it does make a difference. There was only one 5 sec commercial on my version this evening 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davidbutterfield8911]

@@burrianaUK Watched it simultaneously on Tv and phone. 4 longish ads on phone , nothing on Tv .. strangely! Not a biggie though, if it enables a vlogger to do more stuff , it’s worth a couple of minutes of nonsense 👍🏻

[@DiegoLopez-gt8ik]

New subscriber here! I love this content, both camping and hiking. Keep doing your thing mate! Cheers to fin as well. All love from Mexico!!

[@neilio7591]

I think a big slab path has been put in for High Tove from High Seat. Still bad to Armboth Fell though. Great videos Glen, Thanks.

[@daveostlemountainman]

aye its one of the best paths in the entire lakes between high seat and high tove now, solid 🙂

[@tragically1969]

You did the worst bit over to High Seat, we passed you on the top as we were on the way to High Tove, it's not too bad now as they have put a new path in.

[@ESKU0905]

Thanks!

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much, that's very kind 😊 🙏

[@harrydance1969]

Saw my first red squirrel in the adjacent tree (as it was interested in the bird feeders) sitting in that very spot having a beer 🙂

[@paulcoley7619]

I have never been up there but it is now on my list

[@jimmillward3505]

Awesome job mate, yet another exceptional video.

[@Offdutynurse1964]

Thanks for sharing

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Hey Glenn. I'm going to be dragging my 8 year old up here soon. Hopefully it's not as boggy as this. Great video as usual.

[@nicmarlow6388]

oh god, the bog!! They fixed the section between Walla and Bleaberry, next they need to fix the bit after cos that looked hideous! 😂 I was sat there going "oh this looks hideously familiar" when you were bog dodging! :)

[@jonbirtle1]

Swamp??? LOL Get thee sen upto Yockenthwight Moor pal... Love your work BTW..

[@Twa-Dags]

Cracking walk! And I guessed the pub and beer this time 😂

[@RyanJones-ig3qc]

Great video as ever Glen thank you. I’ve took me little lad up to Walla but need to return to do Bleaberry and High Seat with the missus and will definitely be taking this route

[@Brock_in_the_North]

A walk I've been interested in for sometime

[@sugarlilydesigns1]

You are truly inspiring 😊 nature.is.delicious. 🥀

[@john-morton]

Another great video Glenn. Really missed my fix last Sunday so was waiting for this today 😃 OS link going to Error404 for me

[@prisonerofmarz1265]

I love these videos! I really wish I could start hiking more but every time I go I end up with about 10 ticks on me lol it's really bad around here.

[@rodhepplewhite9722]

Another goodun Glenn. BTW, I have good news, the awful path between High Seat & High Tovepassing through The Pewits has been flagged, or most if it, and it is a delight to walk - I was there a few weeks ago with my fell-walking buddies. Also, I understand there are plans to flag the path between Bleaberry Fell & High Seat. 👍

[@4potslite169]

I invite you to hike the Vermont mud season…you’ll never ever mind the Infinite Swamp of Despair again! LOL!

[@judithhamid5435]

Really enjoyed this video - know it's not great for photography but really lifts the spirits to see all of those views in the sunshine. And what better way to end a walk than a pint in a sunny beer garden? Cheers!

[@elliotridley-smith9304]

Had a heart in mouth moment when you mentioned Finn not being with you; I feared the worst! 😌

[@clairewalker2]

We were lucky enough to do this after an unusually long (by lake district standards!) dry spell in August. The bog was dry and the heather was out 💜 in fact that whole trip was probably one of my favourites. Pretty sure we staggered to the Mary mount a couple of times too. Can't wait for the next one... I'll have probably booked a trip back to manesty before then 😏

[@andysimmo4984]

Did this a few of years ago in the summer if was still a bogfest the walk down to ashness was a good path

[@wezboyes]

Your videos are cool af Glen. Keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing you somewhere one day and randomly shouting over at you in th'fells lol. PS Poles are a godsend in bogland I find.

[@dixonpeter]

I did this from High Tove direction and didn't think the bog was thaaaat bad. Was dreadful between Armboth Fell and High Tove though, was a very slow mile! :D Great vid as always even without doggo!

[@andrewprice2456]

I'm a new subscriber, I've watched your latest video and will definitely be watching a lot more
