Spectacular video Glenn! Incredible views on top of Old Man Of Coniston, even though it was busy up there. It's good to wear spikes if the rocks are covered in ice. I'm amazed that there's still some old machinery at the disused quarry, but no doubt a lot of equipment was taken over the years. Thanks for sharing, take care, Jordan.

Did this route yesterday (glorious weather after a disgusting few days) and it is as amazing as it looks - in fact even more so! That first glimpse of Eskdale from the top of Walna Scar Road is incredible. After that the whole Dow Crag ridge is great fun. We descended via Goat’s Water rather than continuing to the Old Man as we had a long drive ahead of us, but it was still one of our favourite walks. Love this part of the Lakes, it’s so interesting and different! Thanks for the inspo as ever ❤

Well that's got to be one of the best 47 minutes I've spent sat on the toilet. Another fine example of the beauty of the Lake District combined with the dulcet tones of narration as wonderful as the mountains themselves. The intro could easily be a video in its own right, some absolute stunning drone footage. That said, it still really pisses me off the fact you have some shots with the drone flying backwards. I've told you before and I'm telling you again, it's not right! It completely detracts from the idea of a continuous progression. Time doesn't stand still, nor does it move backwards... I think I'd better stop, I feel a tangent coming on; and it's not moving backwards... No Mark! Stop it! Restrain oneself... Glenn, awesome video 👍🏻
