[@trevorburton4429]

Thank you Eddie for taking the time and trouble to share such wonderful experiences. How quiet and peaceful those northern fells are. Special.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Trevor. You are right about the Northern Fells, definitely not as busy as the rest of the Lake district with some superb walks. We had another great day with this walk. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@adge_ventures4915]

Eddie, I've recently come across your videos and as I've got to say they are BRILLIANT. I wild camp in both Snowdonia and the lakes and these videos are amazing for helping me to plot routes and suss out the pitch possibilities. Thank you 😊 Adge.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thank you Adge for such positive feedback, it is really appreciated. It is comments and feedback like yours which keep me motivated to keep producing the videos. It makes all the effort with filming & editing worthwhile. I am pleased the videos have been of some help with your planning. If there is anything you think I can add to the videos, let me know, I am always looking to improve. Thanks again, it is much appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@peterh8970]

Thanks Eddie, another great video. Thanks for sharing all the views from the summit of Great Calva. And fantastic scenery on the way down at the end as well. What a nice path to finish off the walk. Looks like you had a great weather - and another early start!

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Peter. This was a really nice walk with some great views. The weather certainly helped and as you mentioned we did start early. We hardly saw anyone all day. You are right about the path towards the end, it was a nice walk back to the car. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@gm4wha]

What excellent weather you had! I did the same route as you both did last year but in very wet and windy conditions! Going up Bakestall was like going through treacle as it was so wet. We did not go over Little Calva but straight up to Great Calva through lots of water! Your videos are so good and i really enjoy watching them. Thank you.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Geoff. The weather certainly helped make the day even better. It is a really nice walk. Sounds like it was a lot tougher when you did the same route with all the water. Thanks again for watching & for the positive comments, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@Muddipaws1308]

Thank you Eddie again for a great video. That's two nice walks for sure

[@eddiecaisley5746]

[@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230]

Excellent video again, Eddie. Never done these fells via this route, but it looks great. If you want to avoid the crowds, these fells are right up your street.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Mal. It is a really nice route and as you have mentioned, it is nice and quiet. Quite steep in places, but worth it for the views. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@ashleyjarnold]

Fantastic video and hike Eddie, and as ever you both looked full of energy. You must be close to 214 now! I see you are also very close to 1k subscribers too - big celebration when that happens!! As ever you got the weather and you got the views but your directions and arrows on the video were excellent too. I was comforted to see you holding onto the fence going up a steep bit - we all need a bit of help now and again. We've started our packing for next week and everything is all systems go!! Hope to see you both soon, regards, Ashley and Andrea.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Ashley. It is a really nice walk and the weather certainly helped make it even better. It was really steep going up to Great Calva, the heather and fence were a great help! We still have few fells to go, to get to 214, but we are getting there. Pleased it is all systems go for your trip. Fingers crossed for the weather. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. See you soon. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Looking stunning with all the heather out Eddie , that’s a good pull up to little calva ! Nicely filmed with relaxing background music Tfs atb Dave 📷👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Dave. It is a really nice walk. The heather certainly give it a bit of colour especially in the good weather. You are right about the pull up to Little Calva, it was steep! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Nice Ed. Same route I took but I added Gt Cockup. Same parking place.

Thanks Ian, yes " Caisley Weather" again, ha,ha! The Northern Fells are a great part of the Lakes, some great walks and quieter than other parts of the Lake District. Thanks again for watching & commenting, always appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Lovely video as always Eddie. Certainly NOT the weather I had when I did these 2 so it was nice to see the views that I could have had on a better day. Hoping to get back there again sometime and maybe bag Little Calva too as I missed that one out. Thanks for posting.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Alan. It is a really nice walk. A bit steep in places, but still really good. The weather certainly helped make it even better. The Northern Fells is a great part of the Lakes as it is not too busy with some great walks. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Just catching up on your videos after a busy couple of months. As usual, fantastic video which captures the superb views from another brilliant route especially as you had it to yourselves. Hopefully might catch up with you next week if you're taking part in any of the FBOT walks. Take care.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi John. good to hear from you. Hope you are well. This was a really nice walk with some good views. A couple of steep climbs, but we both enjoyed the day. Don't think I will be taking part in any of the FBOT walks, but hope to catch up with you soon. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Looks a nice days hiking this, I have not done these fells before. Lovely views and a nice day for it 😊

Thanks Andy. This was another really nice walk, a bit steep in places, but not too bad. Some great views and a quiet part of the Lakes, a great day! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@hikingmatt4113]

Hi Eddie! Great video again! I’m very jealous. My hiking has been put to a stop for a while. I now have a worn cartilage in my right knee which was diagnosed after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II ( I’ll explain my job on a hike in the Lakes!) Hopefully I’ll be back on the road soon as I could have done so many more Wainwrights this year!

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Matt, good to hear from you. This was a really nice walk with some great views. Gutted to hear about your knee, hopefully something can be done about it and you can get out on the fells in the near future. You have me intrigued about what job you do. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Nice days hiking and another two Fells I have not done but it looks like you had a great day for it and maybe even out the same day as me. Not that keen on the tarmac walking but once you made some height the views were superb, cheers Alan

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Alan. Yes, I heard you were on Whiteside etc on the same day. This was a really nice walk with some good views. There is some really nice walks in the Northern Fells and definitely a quieter part of the Lakes. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@summitbagger1378]

Another great video of some of the overlooked but quality Northern fells. Your videos have inspired me to do my own KZbin channel, which I hope to add to soon. 👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks. This was a really good walk and I agree with you about the Northern Fells being overlooked. There is some great walks in this part of the Lake District. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. ( I have subbed to your channel) Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@summitbagger1378]

Thanks

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Lovely stuff...Great Calva has the best summit north of Skidda

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Steven. A really nice walk and I agree Great Calva is a really good summit. Definitely one we will be visiting again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie,

[@stephenrobinson7197]

Nice walk that Eddie 👍. Put it on my to do list 😊👌

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Stephen. We both enjoyed this walk. A bit steep going up the first part to Great Calva, but it is not for long, and it soon levels out a bit. Hope you are well, thanks again for watching commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@anthonypayne1]

Trademark Eddie Caisley hiking weather!😉I love that route round Whitewater dash, I admire your fitness levels, I would have struggled to do just one! Lol! Surely this video will get you five more subs!? I hope so, you both deserve it👍👍

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Anthony, yes " Caisley Weather" again, ha! The weather certainly helped make it a great day. It is a really good walk and I agree the area around the Waterfall is really nice. Two fairly steep climbs, especially the lower section heading up to Great Calva. It would be nice to reach 1k subs, getting close now! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@JackKlumpass]

Great vid as usual Eddie. I was up round there this time last month and wish I’d taken that right after the gate by waterfall so I could have got up to bakestall. Still enjoyed but midges were killing me and I’d accidentally left bug net in car. Still enjoyed it tho and were tonnes of bilberries on the way up. I didn’t really know that area much apart from seeing that area from the front of skiddaw if you know what I mean.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Chris. We really enjoyed this walk and had a great day. A bit steep in a couple of places, but well worth the effort. It is a great part of the Lake District as it is quiet with some great walks. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is much appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@alanmoore5185]

Typical Caisley weather! We parked at Peter House farm and walked up Ullock Pike, Carlside and on to Skiddaw and then down Bakestall and back down the Cumbria way. We did Great Calva and Knott together from Mosedale. Not many to go now.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Alan, yes, you're right, typical " Caisley Weather" ha! I thought about ( and mapped) the route you have done up to Skiddaw & The Carlside ridge before doing this walk. We will save that for another day. I can see why you did Great Calva and Knott together as they are close together. There are so many options for routes in this area, it is a great part of the Lakes and not too busy either! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

Still watching mate. you always capture the mood of the fells on your vids👌have your waterproofs ever been out your pack lol😂atb

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Waterproofs, what are they, ha! This was another really nice walk with some good views. A bit steep in places, but worth the effort. Thanks for watching & commenting Geordie, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@TheHikingHermit]

Looked like a great day for a walk in the lakes with the sunshine and super clear views. I've done Bakestall or thought I had until you mentioned the Wainwright summit. I had to go check my map trace and turns out I also did both but probably more by accident than design. I thought I'd have to go back for a minute or 2, which I probably will at some stage. I've not done Great Calva but I think I'd rather walk up that steep incline rather than down it. I wonder how long that fence will last? Enjoyed watching 👍 Paul

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Thanks Paul. The weather certainly helped make the day even better. Yes I agree with you about the climb up to Great Calva, in fact Carol said the same, we would rather go up the steep bit next to the fence rather than go down that way. I had to check Wainwight's book of the Northern Fells when we got back to make sure we got it right. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

[@michaelhooper810]

Doing this one next Eddie. Thanks to you both as always. Is it an obvious way off Great Calva to rejoin the Cumbria Way lower down?

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Michael, it is a really nice walk. A bit steep heading up to Great Calva, but it levels out. There is quite a clear path coming down from Great Calva back to the Cumbria Way. From what I can remember after descending from the summit for a short distance there is a fork in the path, take the right fork back to the Cumbria Way. The left hand fork still gets you back down, but is a bit longer. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated. Enjoy your walk, take care. Eddie & Carol.

[@redposthill7253]

Great video thanks Eddie. How long did it take out of interest?

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi, thanks. From what I can recall it was about 6 to 7 hours. It is difficult to give a more accurate time as it usually takes a bit longer than usual with the filming & photos etc. It was a nice walk we both enjoyed and it is definitely one we would do again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
