🌟 Blencathra via Sharp Edge. A Notorious Grade 1 Scramble

[@trekkingwithtony]

This is a fantastic route up Blencathra via Sharp Edge. It is one of the Lake District's lesser known but most testing ridges so I hope to show you all you need to know in this video. I hope you enjoy it! If you would like to support my channel that would be amazing 😀: buymeacoffee.com/trekkingwithtony

Another fantastic video. Done it a couple of times and it’s a great bang for your buck hike. Short n sweet if you want it to be and bit for me is always the bad step. Feels like you’re stepping across the abyss - unless I’m missing something and there’s an easier way across that bit. Really enjoyed the video again. Thanks 👌

[@trekkingwithtony]

Thanks mate, it is always great fun 😁. There isn’t any other way over bad step unless you go down the side, and where is the fun in that 😆. Thanks for your support mate, all the best out there ⛰️😁🥾

Accidentally got on Sharp Edge, 3 of us, doing Queens Scout award. We got lost coming down in February snow and ice wind and fog about 50 years ago not been back since. Never been as glad to get off a ridge in my life very scary my mate said he knew where he was so we believed him, wish I hadn’t 😢

[@trekkingwithtony]

First, congrats on the Queen Scouts Award, I've also completed mine many moons ago. It is not a place to be in those conditions, terrifying in fact. I'm glad you all made it down safe😅. Enjoy it out there mate⛰😃🥾

Another great video 👍

Thanks Nick, it was a great walk, thanks for the support. Enjoy it out there mate 🥾😁⛰️

Mungrisdale epitomises Wainwrights sense of humour, webbed feet all the way 😂

[@trekkingwithtony]

I’m sure you are right mate. I’m sure he threw some in for a laugh 🤣

Excellent video. We enjoyed sharing the walk with you. We watch lots of walking videos and yours are the best. Very informative.

[@trekkingwithtony]

Hi Andi, I’m glad I could show it to you. It is one of my favourites 😁. That’s very kind, I’m glad you are enjoying them. Thanks for your support 🥾😁⛰️

Hi Tony We did mungrisedale last weekend and Bannerdale Crags. The bog on mungrisedale was over a foot deep at one point. Gross. Sharp Edge looked scary. Nice video and I've followed Allison on instagram.

[@trekkingwithtony]

@@Room6photography It is a great ridge, much less busy than Striding Edge and a lot of fun 😁. Mungrisedale is a mess. I’m sure it’s one of Wainwright’s little jokes 🤣. Thanks mate, nice on for checking out Allison’s Instagram 👍. Enjoy it out there 🥾😁⛰️

Never done blencathra keep putting it off for some reason but it does look stunning must admit xx

[@trekkingwithtony]

@@louisesmith3860 Hi Louise, it’s a great hike and can be done in an afternoon. As the days get shorter it is one you can think about as an autumn hike 🍂. I hope you get to do it soon. Let me know if you do ⛰️😁🥾

[@Allison-j1j]

Another great video & one of my favourite walks. Sharp edge is a challenge but rewarding climb. Looks like you both enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing😊

[@trekkingwithtony]

Thanks for watching, it was a great walk. I’m glad you got to do it ⛰️😁🥾

Hi Tony and Allison. A brilliant video of one of my favourite fells. You both looked very calm going along the ridge, its certainly gets my adrenaline going when ive done it. First time with my brother and 2nd time with my wife and 3 kids (grown up) which was much scarier in windy conditions. My favourite way up though is Halls Fell Ridge which ive done a few times and love the scramble up there. Ive only just gone on Instagram, my kids sorted it haha so still feeling my way round but I'll try and find Allison and check your pictures out. All the very best 🙂

[@trekkingwithtony]

Hi Tony, Halls Fell Ridge is a great route up especially if the weather makes Sharp Edge a dicey prospect 😅. It is always one to be cautious on but very exhilarating 😁. Great, Allison has lots on there and is much better at photography than myself 😂. Thanks for the support, enjoy it out there mate 🥾😁⛰️

[@NurseBarbaraP]

Happy Sunday Tony and Allison! Looked like another great hike! Would also love to see Allison’s instagram - but missing the link and when I have tried to click the link in previous videos - it didn’t work. 😊

[@trekkingwithtony]

Hi Barbara, it was great fun 😁. I’ll have a look at it now. I don’t think KZbin likes me copying and pasting so give it 20 mins and I’ll sort it. Thanks for your support ⛰️😁🥾

Hi Tony, Hi Allison, brilliant video, not done Sharp Edge yet, will have to wait until next summer now! 😀 Not happy about you dissing Mungrisedale Common, it’s a cracking fell! 🤣🤣 I was in the lakes on Friday, what a belting day. All the best guys 😀⛰🥾

[@trekkingwithtony]

Thanks Dave, you’ll love it. It’s such a great ridge. As I say, it’s probably good from the Mungrisdale side as a walk up to Blencathra but the way I did it was as an offshoot from this walk so I basically had to walk a very squelchy half mile to the pile of stones then come back 😂. Excellent mate, just got back from Grasmere now. Enjoy it out there and thank as always for the support mate ⛰️😁🥾

[@DAoutdoors]

@@trekkingwithtony Nice mate, hope you had a nice weekend. I was out on Friday, gorgeous day to be in the mountains. 😀⛰🥾👍🌞

[@trekkingwithtony]

@@DAoutdoors Friday looked great, as does next week so hopefully get a big one in. Hoping for Pillar. I’ll look forward to your vid mate ⛰️😁🥾
