BOWNESS FIVE PEAKS - ORREST HEAD, SCHOOL KNOTT 1, GRANDSIRE, SCHOOL KNOTT 2, BRANT FELL - WINDERMERE

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Funny enough I only did Orrest Head myself for the first time in January and a really accessible path for everyone to enjoy and aye, a heck of a drive for me too, coming over from Co Durham. Orrest Head may be a a small summit but it have an real big view and despite that sun, still a bit of mud about and to be honest, some of those fells had some stunning views. The final summit had a brilliant view too, a real mix of views and nice easy assents, grand day out, cheers Alan

aye i didnt know what to expect going into these but just a different type of walk.. nice to be able to pick up the details mountains cannot give so looking forward to the next 111.. Bowness is a right odd place for cumbria like.. some big money houses there.. all the best lad, tek care :)

Ah good to see you back out looking forward to these walks. Mind still catching up with all other wainwright's. 😂xx

[@daveostlemountainman]

im looking forward to these.. nice to have a year where i dont have to sweat my ass of with all the ascent and can enjoy the environment for a change.. Thank you, take care :)

[@DanHeywood92]

Certainly a nice day for it. Glad you’ve decided to do the outlying fells. Looking forward to the upcoming videos mate.

[@daveostlemountainman]

yea theres very little content of them on youtube so makes sense to try shed some light on this less glamorous area.. thanks, tek care :)

[@DAoutdoors]

Ey up Marra, ey up Mr Hewitt. What a belting walk, lovely views out to the big boys. It’s nice to have an easy bimble every now and then. You had a cracking day for it. Looking forward to this series mate. Be good to join you in a few. All the best mate Dave 😀🥾⛰

[@daveostlemountainman]

Aye definitely mate, id say most of the walks are closer to you than me.. think it took Dave only an hour to get there.. this appears to be one of the longer ones too so i think they should be all nice hikes.. might do a couple multi day hikes and join a couple of walks together :)

Great to see you out again so soon. I didn't realise he'd written a book on those or there were so many. I see we'll be kept busy once we finish the wainwright's.

[@daveostlemountainman]

Yea I didnt know till quite recently.. they all seem quite easy walks so am very much looking forward to them.. cos this one was very chilled and apparently it's one of the most challenging of the outlying fells so bring em on 🙂

[@tonypilki3]

Great video Dave. Some excellent viewpoints from such small tops. I did School Knott and Grandshire from Ings last year. Beautiful countryside and so peaceful. We had to walk through the Dromer estate to get to Windermere for a brew. Wont be repeating that bit again. The estate was much bigger than I anticipated and wasnt very pleasant walking through it. Looking forward to the rest of your journey All the Best

[@daveostlemountainman]

yea i really enjoyed this group.. makes a nice change.. ive heard theres more 'trespassing' to be done on other outlying fell walks but al cross those hurdles when they appear.. thanks bud, tek care :)

[@gbfch]

Enjoyed that. I started doing the outlying fells after the 214 but only did about 30 and never persevered so it'll be good to be introduced to new fells and views.

[@daveostlemountainman]

aye i enjoyed this round.. only thing that'll slow me down is the long drives but ill try get half through and see how i feel after that :)

[@RichardJacob-w1y]

Met you up Brant fell. Nice chat with a couple of top blokes.Go well Dave.

[@daveostlemountainman]

ahh ya found es... good, thank you for subscribing :D.. yea very nice set of fells, walks where you can enjoy a conversation without sweating too hard.. tek care lad :)

[@TonysTrails]

Should be a good new series Dave. Be prepared for a lot more “trespassing”! Once Charlie has completed the Wainwrights (hopefully this July) we’re going to be concentrating on Outliers & Birketts, so maybe meet up for a couple. We don’t live far from Carlisle.

[@daveostlemountainman]

oh really.. dam that was my fear.. Most of them are dead short walks, this seemed to be one of the longer ones.. but yea definitely up for doing some with ya, long old drive to do them just solo :)

[@gm4wha]

Excellent video. Pleased you are doing the Outlyers and am looking forward to your future videos. Personally there are still quite a few i need to do so it will be interesting which routes you take. Thanks.

[@daveostlemountainman]

only thing thats gonna be hard about them is the best part of 2 hour drive for each walk... so am hopefully going to try join up a few walks with a camp half way.. might even use the train a few times.. thank you for the support, tek care :)

[@Butchyboysadventures]

Good stuff dave 1 and dave 2 maybe smaller but still looks a good bunch to do mate new series starting off good think our lass would be happy doing these so maybe somthing for me to do to change things up cheers for the link to these mountain man and a big yessss from me enjoy them hopfully might see you on one or join ya but im not protecting any one from bulls i would charge the wall down if one came for me lol 😂

[@daveostlemountainman]

haha aye these are very accessible set of hills.. sure we passed a group of 75 year old lasses wandering up on our way down like.. even a wheel chair path for the first.. all the best lad, thanks, tek care bud :)
