Cat Bells & The Newlands Horseshoe // Hiking Vlog #13

[@ajollygoodchap]

You're videos are bloody excellent! I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Lakeland Tourism should be paying you royalties!

[@jimmycburfield5997]

I second the above

[@emmacannon2011]

You just transported me back 15 years ago, when I last climbed Catbells in March. I’d forgotten how gorgeous it is, even when the rain drives across! 🙂 Thank you again for your beautiful and evocative vlogs. x

[@ARG-Travel]

Love going up Catbells, the views are amazing

[@julianhebbes]

Climbed up catbells to high spy and back down into borrowdale valley this week with my 2 best mates aka my son's ,now back home .yuk.watching that video wish we had done this route .or maybe I'm too ancient.Keep up the good work legend loving it.

[@flyingvisit2586]

Lovely, just when you think you've found a favourite view along comes another and another. Every which way you look it's wonderful. Thank you.

[@matthewstewart5397]

Honestly you've been a god send to a beginner like my self, I just wish you had put In the 2 scrambles you need to get through before the summit of catbells as these really can catch a lot of people out, I saw quite a few people struggling and totally abandoned the summit. Thankyou so much. 👌👍💪

[@jonolid]

Dude, I've only come access you couple days ago, ur videos are blooming EPIC! the angles, drone shots are absolutely superb and capture everything! The best I've seen on KZbin, please keep it up man! Keep doing what ur doing 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidclark4839]

Great watch

[@judithhamid5435]

We did the Newlands horseshoe about a month ago and cloudy all the way from Dale Head and up 'n' over Robinson - so lovely to see some glimpses of the views I should have had! Great vid - thanks!

[@stuartsilver4692]

Absolutely outstanding video. A joy to watch. I live in Scotland but come down to lakes every year i love it. The last time i was there i done the Catbells, maiden moor and highspy peaks then return in heavy rain for most of it. Was amazing!!

[@Merritt7278]

Very nice ,weather a mix bag thats for sure, but views to die for. Nowhere like the lakes.

[@DavidHartley88]

Ha...love the lick @8.08. And nobody else on Catbells in May ! Loving your vibe ,Glenn.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊 🙏 Yes, it was a lucky morning that's for sure 🙌

[@JohnWilliams-ge7eh]

Very good spot on !!

[@v8rush1]

Brilliant videos, I’m starting to do the Wainwrights in a few weeks and will definitely use this channel as a reference, your delivery is spot on.👍

[@jdee4215]

Excellent video 25 mins well spent will be checking all your other videos out now.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@hippygoat75]

Quality video as always fella. Gets me drooling seeing these views. Spending 10 days here shortly and I cant wait. Please explain the voodoo magic with the invisible selfie stick cos I have never seen it before..cheers Glen

[@willbo2000]

Fantastic Glenn, what a range of conditions, fantastic views, top sheep shot, favourite quote "the wind is coming right from that backside" 😃👍

[@BlackCrag]

Haha, I didn't even realise I'd said that 😂 It was a fantastic day, thanks very much mate 😊🙏

[@mrjiggs3761]

Aw shucks i keep seeing Bawd Hall in the background where i stayed several times. Happy times!

[@scrapbooksally]

Another absolutely gorgeous video thank you very much for sharing.

[@BlackCrag]

Sorry, I missed your comment. Thank you for watching and of course for your kind words 😊🙏

[@harrydance1969]

That walk is more like 13.5 miles. I’ve done it and my knees will agree. 👍

[@paulsmith4798]

Great vlog Glenn, cant believe the changes in the weather during your hike

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Paul, really appreciate it 😊 🙏 Yeah it was crackers weather but I guess that's the Lakes for ya 😁

[@TheLDunn1]

Blimey, it was quiet when you did that, it was really busy when I did it!

[@CubeShimmy]

Absolutely stunning channel! Happy found it.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks mate 😊

[@GaryMorris222]

Hi buddy doing this one in June is this the 5 wainwrights root 😀

[@mickgrundy4615]

Great vid best yet mate must do it

[@beardbootsandblisters9129]

Great video, the views looked stunning! Good luck with the trek to the Everest Base camp!!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much dude, it was a great day weatherwise for the views. And thank you; gonna need all the luck in the world for that trek 😁

[@stephenfidoe]

Wonderful vlog as always and what a fantastic hike. We spent a night last year at the Littletown Farm Guest House you walked past and you're spot on Littletown is beautiful. Thanks for the OS map details, it's been added to the list for when we come up next. Thanks again, great work. 👍⛰️📸🐑

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Stephen, really glad you liked it 😊🙏 It's a wonderful little village and I bet it was the perfect place to stay 🙌

[@farsawreylandscape7049]

Loved the “orbit” you did on top of Cat Bells while you were shooting 👏👏

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much James, appreciate it 😊 👊 It was great to get there before the crowds appeared 🙌

[@guyfrape687]

Oh man, bad memories on this walk!! January of '95 and we were on an outbound trip from school, got taken on this but the other way round (minus Cat Bells). Ten 16yr olds with two teachers. Trouble was, that was when the UK got hit with the worst snow in years. Think 2018's Beast From the East at least doubled. There was about an inch by the time we hit Hindscarth. The teacher in charge kept trying to call back to school on a 90's mobile, but couldn't get a signal. We got off Dale Head and the snow was just getting worse, think it was 3-4 inches by then. I was supposed to lead the walk up High Spy, but I realised that was a bad idea and tried to take the safer path down the valley. But Mr Bell3nd teacher boll**ed me and forced us up High Spy anyway. Some of those lads had never been anywhere more rural than Harrogate! Fortunately we got away with it and somehow made it back to Barnard Castle before the A66 was shut, but we did have to abandon the van and hike the last 2k or so back. Happy days....

[@RobLawson1982]

Tremendous as it always is. Loved the Maiden Moor riff 😂 haha. Dale head was the same when I did it. Got all the way to the top and could see nothing then a few mins later that cracking view appeared. Have done Catbells too with Maiden 🎸 Moor. Just need to do the other side. Loved the drone as well. Epic shots. I’ve got a free day off. Might get there as soon as this weather picks up. 👍🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it mate 😊👍 Dale Head is a bit of a bugger for hiding its views 😂 I think the weather is changing soon 👍

[@CampervanTales]

Just found your channel and subscribed. Absolutely loved this video. Can you tell us?what you use to film cos it is stunning. We can see the?shadow of the selfie stick but not the stick itself. It looks like a small camera from the shadow. Thanks

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks for subbing! I use a 360 camera 😊

[@TomAndJoeVlogsTJOutdoors]

Brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Cracking walk.

[@juleswilliams1207]

👋. Fab video. Just wondering how difficult is it to get down from dalehead tarn following the stream to below miners crag???? Then passing above dalehead copper mines then below Castlenook on the footpath. Recovering ankle injury so High Spy would be far enough for me after Catbells from your parking spot. Please 🙏 respond, thank you jules❤

[@Leofricson]

Absolutely great vids which capture the atmosphere brilliantly. Just found this channel. What camera are you using on the invisible selfie stick? I need to replace my GoPro hero 3.... No worries if you can't reply as I am sure you have other things to do.

[@mrfairycake4333]

Great video and great walk :) What's the camera on the stick your using? and does the audio come from that or are you using something separate for audio?

[@markpursglovephotography]

Another cracking video Glenn. Keep em coming.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Mark, appreciate it buddy 😊 🙌 I have every intention of plodding on and filming 'em 😁👍

[@markpursglovephotography]

@@BlackCrag Nice one. 😊

[@debskeith]

Just happened upon your channel and love the vids you post👍will be watching all of your content to help me through lockdown until I can get back out in the hills....thanks for posting and look forward to future vids.

[@weewheels6494]

Cant believe ive only just checked your vlogs out , amazing cheers

[@BlackCrag]

Apologies for the late response, I just didn't see your comment..... Thank you, though, really appreciated 😊🙏

[@paul_d_cannon9640]

some awsome drone stuff fella 7.04 would be a great still image 👍 i was supposed to be there this weekend but 2 hours into the drive i hit so much traffic i went back home 😢 best vlogs of the lake district by a mile bud keep it up 👍👍 really like how you put the routes in the info ive used a few now cheers👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Paul, that means a hell of a lot mate and really pleased the routes are usefull 😊🙏 What a bummer about the traffic getting here. The world is just too busy 🙄

[@robertlloyd5463]

Sterling work mate!!! Great 25 mins spent

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Rob, chuffed to bits you enjoyed it 😊🙌

[@peternicholson26]

Can't believe I'm only just subscribing to your channel mate. What an arse I am haha. Good work pal. That 360 camera seems to be working a treat for you

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much and thanks for subscribing....hope you like what you find on the channel 😊🙌 The 360 is fantastic but does add an enormous amount of time to my workflow back home 🤯

[@peternicholson26]

@@BlackCrag no worries mate. I seriously need to plan out starting my own channel. Photography and running for idiots, something like that 😂

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Nice one. Do you have the OS route for this one?

[@liamjohnson558]

So me an 2 buddies went to follow ur route yesterday today scafell pike yesterday and got a little lost (tried to go over great end from the first falk 🤣) had to bottle it. So dropped around the left run from the lake side of greatend and came back down the corridor route from the top. il say it was a awesome route. Think this will be our nxt. What do you think this will be like early October ?

[@willbo2000]

Just started watching, fantastic so far 👍👍👍👀📺

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Wilbo, hope you enjoy the rest bud 😊👊

[@David-sb7vg]

I was still there for another 3 years when you made this. I'm now in Sydney.......stupid apeth I am 😔

[@stevebennettphotography]

Excellent. I’m up and over in the Lakes next week for a little photography so your vlogs are dead useful for pre trip exploration 👍, if only to think, well I ain’t going up there on my own 😂

[@BlackCrag]

Haha, thanks Steve, glad you're finding them useful 😊 Have a great trip 👍

[@CubeShimmy]

What sort of stuff do you use to take your pictures and videos? Have you got a list it anywhere?

[@BlackCrag]

I'm afraid I don't have a list. It's just a mishmash of various equipment

[@KokowaSarunoKuniDesu]

The fisheye lens on the drone makes it look like everything is an abrupt edge. Bit worrisome, that.

[@Kate39813]

Cracking vlog I think my favourite. Some brilliant shots, what lens are you using? I'm definitely going to come and do this route on my birthday :)

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, that means a lot 😊🙏 You should definitely do it If you're in the area 👍 I'm using a Canon 70-200 2.8 in this video but had a 24-70 2.8 in the bag that saw some action too 😊

[@mattcarr3798]

Just discovered your Channel, Fantastic!

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you very much 😊🙏

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Shocking I’ve only just found you! Excellent vlog! The 360 vlogging cam is some kind of witchcraft 😂 really enjoyed. Thank you

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much, really pleased you enjoyed it 😊🙏 The 360 is a marvel, that's for sure 😁

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Black Crag balls to the camera tho 😂, great style and gave a real sense of the fells! Time to catch up on your other videos 👍

[@BlackCrag]

@@MaliDaviesPhotography Thanks bud, hope you don't get bored 🙈🤣

[@oddhominem]

Excellent vids. How come the camera pole isn't visible except on the shadow??

[@ta-dahh]

Vlog camera retrieval must be like doing 2 hikes in one day 🙈 Great viewing as always mate 👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Steve, appreciate that buddy 😊 🙌 Yeah, it certainly burns a few calories off that's for sure 😂

[@diobelmotovlog4190]

Amazing video Glenn. Is it Gopro fusion ? I need to get that map. Any chance send me details where did you start your trip. I never been on catbells and I would love to go there. Thanks

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Tom. It's the Insta360 camera - really great! If you look in the description there is a link to the OS map website that has the full including the start location. It's worth going up there if you can, just go midweek as the weekend it's rammed!

[@elmafudd9703]

I love the vlogs but the wide angle on this new camera is, I feel too extreme and makes many a fellow that I know feel ill.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you. This is from a few years ago. I now use a regular field of view 😊

[@elmafudd9703]

@@BlackCrag my girlfriend and myself like your walks. We miss it when the white little fluffy lump is not with you. The camera was most discombobulating on the straights, the forever corner made us sea sick. Keep up the good work. We will be doing one of your walks again this weekend. Also as a photographer I compliment you on your photography. It is good work and artistry. Unfortunately with modern phones everyone believes that they are Ansel Adams. The clueless always know best eh.

wow so amazing video! greetings from russia
