Captain Cooks Monument to Roseberry Topping

[@KatyFoxsFreedomHikes]

Absolutely loved your humour in this one Alan!!! Nothing wrong with a sleep in, your body must of needed it! Stunning images and lovely weather. However, barmy? I’d say you and I are barmy does that mean we have some crazy adventures coming up?? ;D Much Love, Katy 💫💛

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Katy and your kind words, very much appreciated. I sure need some adventures, just getting over the cold from hell after Mrs Metalman previously had it , which she brought back from Scotland. I was feeling dam chipper after Ben Nevis but not been out since. Now that I am almost back to full match fitness, I just need to some good weather, oh and some petrol lol. Take care, cheers Alan

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

Lovely walk Alan. The scenery is so pretty. Glad you got there on such a wonderful day. So cool to see where Captain Cook came from. Also, a huge plus there was no one there by the monument. It is always nicer to have places like this for yourself.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, I so agree, I hate the crowds, which is why I did not Climb Roseberry Topping, far too many people on there and I have done it numerous times before. Thanks very much for watching and enjoy the weekend, cheers Alan

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

@@AlanMETALMAN I'm the same. I hate crowds too. It was a pleasure. Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers! Urska

[@WalksWithOlly]

I enjoyed that, Alan, having only completed the Cleveland Way a couple of weeks ago now. The weather you experienced looks preferable to the wind and showers I met! ;-) I had my own reservations about going up Roseberry Topping and back down but I'm pleased I've done it. Had been eyeing it up for about eight years! ;-) A very popular walk along there, to the monument and back and a lovely picnic area in the woods beside the car park, as I recall. Hope you have a good week and thanks for sharing.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it Olly and hopefully good memories for you It's always a nice walk and only about 25 miles from home, so a local walk for me, one I have been doing since I was a kid. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@TeaInValhalla]

Good evening Alan, what a beautiful day, the paths look like something from a fairytale 😍 caught some beautiful veiws Alan, loved the Matterhorn of rhe North! Very cool 👍 with you on the sun baskers too, please keep your shirts on, some of us have sandwiches to eat! You are forgiven for the moaning and groaning Alan, good to get it out 🤗 Brew with a veiw indeed, those clouds too! ⛅ smashing video as always Alan, thanks for taking us along with us, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ ⛰👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Many thanks for watching and a very rushed plan B but one that was almost on my doorstep and a place I know very well, as I have been going there since I was a kid. Take care both, cheers Alan

[@DestinationEarth]

Captain Cook was a man who has seen a lot of world - and in a way most of us could never have imagined! Rough travels back in his day. Great hike and you better get back to keep the Mrs. Happy! Great video as always Alan!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Josh and a legend in this part of the world and when you think of the size of the ship he travelled the world in, real mind blowing stuff, cheers Alan

That brought back nice memories of my Cleveland Way walk last year. It’s a lovely little hill isn’t it with some great views on a clear day. Quite a tough descent for the knees from what I remember

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It sure is and always busy, I looked at it, as I have been up there numerous times before of the years and thought no, too many people on there for me. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@SOKLYPO]

Thanks, you too! Cheers Alan

[@DrunkOnWanderlust]

What wonderful weather to do this section! 😃the cloud don’t even look real! Well considering it was unexpected, it looks like a lovely day in a stunning area …. Take me back!!! Fond memories 🤗

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was nice as a Plan B and a place I have been going to since I was a kid, real local for me. I just recommended your channel to a real nice young lass who I did a collaboration with last month and as well as doing all the Wainwrights, she wants to do long distance trails in the UK too. I thought your channel would be perfect for her, as she reminds me of a younger version you, real determined and a real inspiration too. Thanks very much for watching Kerry and enjoy the weekend, cheers Alan

Nice adventure Alan. You can really see for a long ways in all directions. Nice scenery as long as people keep their shirts on. LOL. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Take care.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Very true lol! Filmed in late July but I was not happy with it, so just left it. Not been out for almost 4 weeks now, so it came in handy for my weekend hiking video lol. Thanks very much for stopping by Steve, cheers Alan

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, we sometimes look at the South and say, 'they always get the best of the weather', which may be true but I am sure happy with the countryside we have up here, with the Yorkshire Dales just South of us, the Lakes to the West, Northumberland to the North and the North York Moors to the East of us, something I really appreciate and never take for granted.

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Have to say this is a completely new place for us so it was great to see! It is certainly going on our ever growing list of places to walk. Some really beautiful walks and looks like great walking country🥰. It can be so frustrating when things don't go to plan, but as you said, the mountains aren't going anywhere, one for another day. A really enjoyable watch as always. Take care Shell and Pete

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and a nice local walk for me, one I have been doing since as I was a kid. Not my intended walk for the day but as a Plan B, I was still happy with it, cheers Alan

[@HikeCamp]

A beautiful walk indeed Alan...

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Max, a rushed plan B to be honest but still a good day out. Appreciate you stopping by buddy, cheers Alan

[@russellcampbell3274]

"Blencathra will be there for another day." The hills will always be there. The trick is to make sure that you are. I was 71 last Monday. Roseberry Topping has been on my to-do list for years. Hope I haven't left it to late! As always, nice video.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I am 66 Russell, so I am sure you make it and when you do, I hope you get weather like this, real nice day, not too hot, just right for hiking. One thing I can guarantee, the views are amazing from the summit. Thank you very much for watching, cheers Alan

Hi Alan! Cracking scenery and a beautiful day for it👍 You must have needed that lie in anyway!👍😁

What a fantastic landscape Alan on such a lovely day. We are so very lucky up north to have great countryside and I miss it a lot living abroad. It’s the greenery and other colors of the moors and hills. All the best mate

Done Roseberry topping and captain cooks many times before, enjoyed it every time although last time it was really busy.

Great walk Alan! I couldn't help but enjoy the puffy white clouds that were with you in the bright blue sky! What a lovely day! I couldn't exactly tell, but were there lots of ferns lining the trail? We have several types of ferns that grow in the shady forest, and one or two that grow out in the sunshine. Say hello to Mrs. M for me - see you again soon! J :)

[@ianleslie2079]

I was only up there last week Alan. You can't beat it on a nice day. It's only a half hour drive for me as well so if I can't get to the lakes it's ideal. I don't know if you've walked past Captain Cooks monument but there's a nice waterfall at Kildale if you walk the other way. Great video as usual.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I did not know that Ian but will defo be looking into that. I actually filmed this at the end of July but not really happy with it, so I left it.

Wow, swimming too.................... never mind sleeping in, a human being has to be able to do that once in a while.... Beautiful image quality, as always! I always fear please that are packed... I don't like it, especially when we want to film. Beautiful scenery and beautiful weather! I almost wish I could have joined you.................... 20ºC.... great weather for climbing!

A big local hero here, as he was born only a few miles away and there are statues of him in Whitby, which used to be a big whaling port many years ago. I hate the crowds too, I always look for somewhere quiet and I wish we had this weather now, I actually filmed this at the end of July but never got round to putting it up. Harry Metalman is my grandson and came on a few hikes with me, shame he is more interested in gaming now rather that the outdoors. Have a great weekend, cheers Alan

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

I remember I used to hear rumors about Captain Cook being killed and eaten by cannibals. I guess that wasn't true though he was killed by Hawaiians but not eaten. A bit of a flatter landscape than what you normally hike but still quite lovely.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It's a local walk for me Eric and always a Plan B if my other plans go up in smoke, which they did on this one. It was his bones they were after as they believed that they held the strength of a man. Good of you to watch buddy, cheers Alan
