BAKESTALL - THE NORTHERN FELLS - THE LAKE DISTRICT

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Plenty of snow on this one and it looked fantastic what you sat down for a brew, absolutely amazing views. A nice guide on the way up and the way down and a sledge down would have been fantastic, cheers Alan

[@daveostlemountainman]

aye like i said i only done this one because i made a mistake missing it on the previous walk.. things happen for a reason eh, got well rewarded with this pile of fun.. thanks for watching Alan, tek care lad :)

What scenery Dave! absolutely stunning. Kudos to you for getting up there in those conditions and the fact you actually managed to get to the start on the iced up roads. Fabulous video. You are one determined hiker 😊

[@daveostlemountainman]

i knew when i got home everyone would be posting lovely snowy hike pictures all day so i wanted to be part of that haha.. aye never driving up there again int ice, not fun my friend :)

[@Muddipaws1308]

That looks a hard slog but what super views it's stunning

[@daveostlemountainman]

final third was very steep but the path to the base of the hill is glorious.. id never been in snow that deep before so i was enjoying myself too much to nitice the hard work haha :)

[@jc1097431]

Brilliant walk that one ...must have been hard graft in that snow and wind mate. Great views and well done in walking it in those condition😄

[@daveostlemountainman]

Cheers.. I think i was having too much fun to notice the graft to be fair.. was hoping for more of a blizzard on tops just to experience one as i never have yet. Tek care :)

Brilliant dave pal you got it in the end eh looks absolutely amazing on the way up like with the fence line behind you 10 out of 10 for taking the time with the b roll also bud not easy walking up hills and especially in 10 foot of snow good job man 👍 love it 😂sledge

[@daveostlemountainman]

aye finally the right hill haha.. couldn't really be arsed filming as i was just having too much fun.. a sledge is definitely on the cards for a future video! haha.. tek care lad :)

[@Butchyboysadventures]

Lol look forward to this one I think a sledge on ya back pack would actually fit OK to carry it up lol yess class buddy still looks awsome tho in the snow ❄️

[@gbfch]

Cracking walk that Dave. Wasn't it worth missing it on the Skiddaw walk just to experience a day like that. although you happen didn't think so flogging up that fence line. I did it myself years ago in similar conditions and it's flaming hard work. Worth it though. Look forward to the next one.

[@daveostlemountainman]

Fence helped alot.. when I checked Google earth it looked like the actual path just went up by the fence anyway.. great fun day so hardly noticed the effort. Cheers lad 🙂

[@Muddipaws1308]

I did exactly the same. Missed the stop, carried on over a cattle grid and thought this isn't right. Did a fifty point turn, back over cattle grid then I found it. I did the famous five that day. Need to be back to do this one, Great Cockup, Meal Fell and Little Calva

[@daveostlemountainman]

i was barely able to turn my car around.. once i came to a stop there was so much ice the care wouldn't reverse cos lack of grip.. forced it thankfully with a bit of jiggling haha..

[@DAoutdoors]

Eh up Marra. Where did all that snow come from. I see you got down before the bad weather came in. We were up Clough Head and the Dodds yesterday. The morning was amazing, the afternoon, brutal. Total whiteout. And like you had the snow was deep man. Great adventure though mate, another one ticked off. All the best, Dave 😀⛰🥾🥶

[@daveostlemountainman]

mountain forcast said 'light snow' all week and when it was peeing down friday night i thought it must be all washed away.. yea unexpected.. The dodds is a bit of a dull walk so snow will have enhanced that nicely for yas. Tek care lad :)

[@Room6photography]

Great view and video. We were meant to do Holme Fell early December but couldnt see the path in 18 inches of snow so sacked it off. We missed the path coming off Bakestall after Skiddaw and went off piste down to the flat. Should have stuck to your fence.

[@daveostlemountainman]

Yea i was a little concerned i couldn't see a path but have watched many other videos of folk just creating their own.. knew if i stuck to the fence id be fine.. Holme fell is tricky coming down at best of times, many big crags.. ya did the right thing skipping that one i think.. Cheers for watching :)

[@Room6photography]

@@daveostlemountainman I'm not looking forward to the day you say you've finished them now. Maybe you could do some up and down different routes?

[@daveostlemountainman]

@@Room6photography oh theres plenty of new routes.. al probably start picking of a few birketts and outlying Fells, along with chipping away at the munros.. plenty more to come this year after Wainwrights 🙂

[@keefe666]
