Pasture Bottom Round / S2-Ep4 Hiking the Wainwrights

[@deborahmcardle9952]

I never usually comment on vlogs much but have to say you are just fantastic at what you do. I can’t be in the lakes till April but watching your vlogs immediately transports me there and has given so many fabulous ideas for walks, too many for the meagre 7 days I will have. You’re enthusiasm and love for what you do is so visible and I hope this channel goes from strength to strength as you deserve every success. Thankyou for taking me to the place I love when I can’t be there

[@Merritt7278]

Here here well said.

[@paulmcnee2429]

Glen, I watch with pleasure your Lake District videos while I sit many hours a day attending to my housebound wife who has Alzheimer’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if cares make up a significant part of your audience. I appreciate the detail you give out of where you’re walking, the helpful maps, and, to the point observations. I thank you, and all the other KZbin presenters who do such an accomplished job of bringing the outdoors to many of us who no can longer get out and about as we used to . PS If you’ll allow, may I add a kindly meant suggestion and which might apply to most video makers..if you all limit, or indeed stop using altogether, the frequently used superlatives: absolutely , fantastic,stunning , incredible and a few others.. I’m sure the beauty of everyone’s hard work will be elevated .. ! Take care Paul

[@MichaelBrewer-g6y]

Lovely vids..they really take you there..!

[@Fell214]

It’s always a good day when Glenn posts a video. Thank you!

[@RyanJones-ig3qc]

Did this route last April although I extended it quite a bit, finishing at Angle Tarn. Just caught up with all the latest videos. Another epic walk, thank you Glenn✌🏼💚

[@john-morton]

it's so often the "unassuming little hills" that have fantastic views of the major Fells ❤ Looking forward to Black Mass Spring '23!

[@burrianaUK]

Hell yes! Me too, come on come on come on come on 😀

[@seanb6259]

We walked up Grey Crag last year it was a tough climb. Far Eastern Fells have been great to get to know this last couple of years, not previously done much in this are before - a revelation!

[@Antagonistic]

We did the reverse route when unable to make your rescheduled mass. We parked down by the river only to discover the car park nearer the base of the climb. It was good to see what we missed. You had great conditions. We did it in 100% rain and 100% cloud! It does get a bit of a schleck half way round,agreed! We eventually ate our lunch when breaking out of the cloud just above Brothers Water and then a final slippery descent. Always appreciate your routes as they really help with our prep. Ant.

[@flyingvisit2586]

I hope you all enjoyed your doddle up Hartsop Dodd. 😁 I did... Loving the deep drop looking across at Highstreet Crag and taking a break, maybe a chunky Kit-Kat next time. Happy Hiking all.😉

[@Wukkie.]

I did Brock Crags and Angletarn Pikes last week and when I got the first view ever of Hayeswater with the naked eye, I just stood in awe. It really is a far more fantastic view than on the screen which is a good advert for people to get out there and do it if possible.

[@HikingFamilyMan]

I descended with my daughter from Thornthwaite Crag down to Threshthwaite Mouth in the summer and I remember thinking at the time that part of the path was horrendous and I swore never to do it again 😂.

[@skyhighstate4060]

I watched this vid a few weeks ago, inspired to take a day off work, drive over and do this walk. What a cracking days walking, loved it!! Great stuff.

[@stevemozzie6497]

I'll save this for my coffee break and biscuit time tomorrow.

[@scottcarr862]

11.48 - 13.40 magical with the backing music.

[@apollo12329]

Brilliant yet again, a true natural in front of the camera. Love the reviews you share, fantastic.

[@rodhepplewhite9722]

This is a great walk and you did it justice, Glenn. Yes, the climb up onto Hartsop Dodd is brutal, as is the climb up to ThornthwIte Crag from Threshwaite Mouth but so worth it. Once again, plenty of chat from you, just as like it. 🙂👍

[@8lackbeard791]

Ha nice! Double-decker! believe it was myself that mentioned that on your last video. Not long after that comment, and went and walked your route around Brock Crag & Angletarn Pike - Another great video! Continue inspiring us all.

[@CollierCraig79]

Great video as usual mate, done this route a few times and the pull up straight from the car park is brutal, although I prefer it in reverse as you can have a lot of fun going up stony cove pike scrambling. Also I really appreciate when you use the camera and pinpoint the fells and landmarks as it really helps me put the puzzle pieces together. Can't wait to start following your routes when te weather gets a little better. Atb mate 🍻

[@phillewis3108]

I've watched from series 1 episode 1, through the end ofthis episode this weekend. Needed some stress relief, as my house purchase in Cumbria is being a massive source of incredible stress. And this has worked perfectly. Darned solicitors are keeping me away from this no longer. Im now charged and ready for battle tomorrow.

[@dancleasby151]

Lovely walk and weather. It's always nice to see an English pub decked out with Christmas decorations. That must be a good sight to see as well after a long walk. All the best and a happy New Year.

[@ianmullin5183]

There was no chance you were starting that ascent again even with the audio problems! Fair play making that the first Wainwright after the Christmas gluttony.

[@martinjordan5172]

Brilliant stuff as always. Not just the incredible views but your presentation of it all. Watching your videos is like being out with a mate. Hope Finn is going to make another appearance soon. You obviously carry a lot of equipment and it would be interesting to see what cameras and lenses you use. I like to take a lot of photos (not up to your standard) but use a small mirrorless camera to save on weight (and expense!). Anyway thanks again for your efforts. Looking forward to the next one.

[@warrenfontana1325]

Best wishes for the New Year, and fantastic to see you back out again on the hills. Great video as always, hope to see you out and about one day soon. 😊

[@paulhodge2266]

Hi Glenn, it’s good to see you back out and about in the new year. Happy New Year to you. That was a special vlog with such spectacular scenery and your usual interesting commentary. It was good to see the drone shots again. The only better shots are in the pub after!

[@dianepatten8594]

I loved this video. Great scenery all around but loved the little building with moss the best. Love your passion and devotion. Keep up your amazing quest. Cambridge,Ontario. Canada ❤️

[@grahamtowler1761]

Amazing views and video as per usual, the music compliments it all

[@leew4145]

Accompanying music is perfect

[@t0mdeakin]

Watched your videos years ago and remember loving your presentation style, the effort you put in to production and how you relish showing off the beautiful areas you're going through. So glad to see you're editing and still out and about. I'll have to say hi if I ever cross your path in the wonderful outdoors!

[@davidburgess9058]

Another wonderful video to start the new year off in style. It looked a tough old climb up though. That's a fair old cairn at the top of Thornthwaite Crag. You had some amazing light on the way down. Really spectacular. I always think the same too on my Lake District walks. They just keep on giving and giving. The Lake District delivers again! Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed the watch. Oh by the way I must do that Bonscale Pike walk you did recently. I desperately want that view you had. It just won't bloody stop raining!

[@andrewevans4103]

Thanks

[@CS-vr7uo]

Loved this walk, going to do that next time I’m up. Brilliant idea to show everyone what they can see from Stoneycove Pike

[@MBC1955]

Once again, I admire your fortitude. I split these fells into two widely-separated walks, avoiding the majority of the steep stuff. Gray Crag was the start of my most ambitious walk, a long circuit of Hayeswater netting me nine summits, my best ever, but I cheated by using the main track to Hayeswater then contouring over to hit the ridge as high up as I could. As for Hartsop Dodd, I used that for descent, starting with a beautifully solitary approach along Pasture Beck, which felt like a brilliant secret, to Threshet, where I stood aside for the fell-race that had been leaving Hartsop whilst I was putting my boots on. They'd obviously gone the long way round. Such days.

[@stevenrudman3961]

Excellent content as always, very informative, superb when you pulled out the big cam and pointed out the tops. All the best for 2023, look forward to coming along on future adventures with you 👍

[@albondigas7671]

Very lovely, I'm watching from New Zealand where I live now, but this is home for me. I grew up in Glenridding and my stepdad has lived in Hartsop all his life. That side of the family farm from Hartsop up onto Angletarn Pikes, round High Street, Thornthwaite, Stony Cove Pike and Caudale Moor to the top of Kirkstone. So this is a very familiar walk, and what a great day you had! Good choice to go for a pint at the Brotherswater too - lovely views into Dovedale from the beer garden there.

[@NewEnglandwilderness]

Nice drops on that trail. You picked the perfect day for this hike.🍻

[@mjb328]

Fantastic as always Glenn, very inspiring. I went up to lakes for my birthday last week and despite the weather, it was still as good as ever. Thanks for keeping us there 👍

[@raymondmears8398]

Nice job, Glen. I have almost been back in flat Norfolk a week after spending Xmas and New Year in your back garden. 9 climbing days, 38 Wainwights, some shocking weather, bloody great! Back at Easter to continue bagging from Glenridding. In the meantime, your vlogs keep me sane.

[@KerriGilpin]

Love this hike! The views are amazing! I call my DSLR my “big camera” too 😁

[@richardpearson5036]

Yet another excellent vlog, thank you Glen. Hopefully we'll be up there somewhere very soon .

[@rollingnome]

Beautiful video. And keep hold of that 10yr old inside!

[@ianfroggatt7072]

Fantastic episode thanks for my Lake District fix👏👍

[@davepickard3913]

Another cracking video. Thank you. Did a similar walk last summer and when coming down off Gray Crag we disturbed a skylark whose nest was just off the path. The nest contained beautiful brown speckled eggs. Such a scenic area with some wonderful wildlife.

[@ireneboston7953]

Terrific video, as always. I remember going up that Hartsop ridge with much huffing and puffing. Although from Thornthwaite Beacon I went on to High Street so missed out Gray Crag, so I've now got that one to do on its own - should have planned better! So it was very handy to see the route down - looks like that'll be a lot of huffing and puffing going up too. Really enjoying this series and the first one - I've done 178 so a few left to do but it's great to be reminded of routes / fells I've already done and see the new ones I've still to do and being given fresh ideas for different circuits, something different from the usual. All very inspiring, so thank you. And stop doing yourself down, about 'mediocre' filming - there's nothing mediocre about your filming or the narration/wafflage! Your enthusiasm shines through. Best wishes for the coming year.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much Irene and thank you again for your contribution, it's really appreciated 😊 🙏

[@martintaylor5879]

People say don't bother going to the lakes it's always raining your cam proves otherwise so I am glad they stay at home but really inspiring my last ascent was Scafell but I am getting older it's very hard to going

[@anna__bella_k]

Loved watching this, you replayed every thought I had on the day. That light 🤩

[@andrewroland]

That barn is incredible, wish it was near where I live, it’s exactly the sort of thing I love to photograph.

[@superseacrow9463]

Pasture Bottom.....FNAR FNAR. Absolutely fantastic. Whenever its my days off the weather is always awful. Love youe your commentary. It's so insightful..

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊

[@paulbusfield5774]

Yet another excellent vid ! Looking forward to trying this one ! Thanks 👍

[@andrewroland]

Was in the Brotherswater Inn not so long ago, very friendly.

[@davidthomas9079]

Great job Glen. Happy new year to you. Stunning hike again you certainly picked the right day. We did exactly the same route in January 2019 with snow and ice on the tops. That first pull up to Hartsop Dodd is a really lung bust, certainly gets the blood pumping. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next vlog.😁

[@stewartlynn2259]

Cracking video mate. Me and my Mrs where in the lakes other week and I was saying look at the light on moor. 🙂🙂. My Mrs says that should be your catchphrase lol. We Always look forward to your vids so inspiring and full of info I can't wait to get back out. Will be back in early march so stocking up on mars bars😄😄 🌄🌄🎉🍺

[@darrenhankey7855]

Inspirational stuff. Thank you. I'm the person who said 'hi' as you were packing up at the end. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@gm4wha]

Another excellent video. I did this round a few years ago and i still remember how steep it was going up Hartsop Dodd as well as descending to Threshthwaite mouth and ascending again! Look forward to your next video.

[@jayrice7668]

Try a snickers as thats my go to bar when im needing a refuel 😊 great videos, keep them up. Love to see you do snowdonia.

[@MountainManJohnFilms]

Wonderful trip out. I did it in reverse last year in total cloud. Those walls were very useful for navigation! .... Such a beautiful area, I often forget how it is up there. Love that DJI Audio. It really suits your narration style videos. Thanks again

[@thenorth-facewanderer6965]

Another great video Glenn, it was good to catch up with you at Haweswater car park, safe travels and keep up with the good work ATB🙏

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks, you too! 😊🙌

[@mogvlog6665]

Omg black crag I saw you at the top of one of the mountains with one of ur friends I was so excited

[@trigbagger]

Happy New Year. I need to make a checklist before setting off. The number of times something has gone wrong with my mic setup. At least you still had some sound. Living the vids and your knowledge.

[@Brock_in_the_North]

Happy New Year Glenn. I love the lakes but do ever do much in snowdonia? Obviously if you do, you don't film it but wondered of you'd do much much in that region :) all the best mate, wishing you moody skies and shafts of light haha. I'll deffo try and make the next meet up for sure :) I was moving home last time so I was tied up but come rain or shine I'd love meet you (the true King in the North) and fellow lakeland lovers :)

[@jonathansutterby4081]

You hit the conditions spot on this time and bet you got some great shots. I'm not a photographer but that light!! Man alive!! Great vlog and drone footage again. I did this exact route 14 months ago and got lucky with the weather as well. I remember tripping up on Gray crag because I just couldn't stop looking around at the views.😄

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much.... Yes, it was a super special day.... I was almost over the edge a few times too 😂

[@jasonconway1842]

Great vid. Done a couple of wild camps up there (Stoney Cove Pike and Threshtwaite Mouth). Good to 'revisit' watching your video without all the pain and suffering

[@stuartheatley7620]

Great vlog as usual. Hartsop Dodd is a beast of a climb even without the festive endeavours. Just thought I'd mention that being out in Dubai all year round apart from Summers and the odd Christmas trip. I always watch your vlogs to keep me stimulated. My daughter who is 6 and knows how much her Daddy loves the Lake District has started to watch the vlogs with me. I tell her I carried up 2 Wainwright's on my back when she was 1. I'm hoping to get her to hike one herself this Summer. She has now regularly asks me at bedtime that instead of a story can we watch a Walking Vlog ie your Black Crag vlogs. She has a TV in her room 55 inch,(Dubai life etc...) so when asked I always oblige.Your vlogs inspire me and they are inspiring my daughter to venture out and hopefully have the same passion for the Lake District as much as I do and obviously you do. Thank you so much for these vlogs. We love them here in the Desert .

[@BlackCrag]

That's really lovely to read, glad she's interested in the outdoors and nature 🙌

[@walkingthewainwrights7390]

Another top video. Glad to see the drone back, the footage is spectacular!

[@kevingornall]

Another excellent video, thanks Glenn

[@willbo2000]

Excellent mate, enjoyed that tour and some beautiful light and shadow 👍😎

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Will 😊

[@Johnlancaster]

Great film and a great area of the lakes. Winter has to be the best time to be around those parts, just seems right somehow. That beacon is going to topple over one of these days …..😢

[@neilbossonhighflyingdrone6194]

Omg I went up Hartsop Dodd today to do your route black crag absolute brutal going up the first bit at the start of the hike got to the top started walking along by the wall but the wind was so bad I to turn round and go back grrrrrr I will be doing this route again soon

[@GingerCaptures]

Another enjoyable hike 👍🏻 that start would have finished me off after all the Christmas cake 🤣👍🏻 need to get my hiking fitness back before attempting that one 👍🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks fella 😊

[@jonm4989]

Tremendous as per usual Glenn and great to see the drone footage in that wonderful sunlight. 👍🏻

[@thomascrate]

Fantastic video mate, never disappoint 👍🏼

[@andrewwatson5987]

Thanks Glenn for this great video!. I did the angle tarn walk last year and loved it. Looking at doing a few more of your walks in the spring as staying closer to home till the weather picks up. Keeping doing what you do best mate!.

[@deanshaw3449]

One for the holiday when I stay at Hartsop and end of the month 😍. Great job as ever 👍

[@Happy_Hiker]

Another great video.. Thank you and Happy New Year! :)

[@liamjohnson558]

Happy new year. Went to follow ur route (ish) for lords rake..wasn't the most fun day iv had with the weather. Got a bit of everything today. Legs struggled after that break.

[@davidmarshall5596]

This is a terrific walk with a bloody steep accent from the valley up to the summit of Hartsop Dodd. I've done the route this was round & also the opposite way too but either is just Brilliant 👏 the views looking down on Brrotherswater & ullswater are excellent ..another terrific review & your enthusiasm just oozes out to produce a great channel 👍 p.s.when is the finnmeister making another appearance..🐶🐕🤔

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 she'll be back soon 🙌

[@roytomkinson9350]

Great series of videos Glenn .....look forward to more from you

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

I meet loads of people its so cool i love it.. feels like fam haha

[@paulyoung5393]

Happy new Year Genn and a great video to start the new year!. Really enjoyed this one as it brought back more great memories. My brother and I did the first half of this route many years ago on a hot summers day, we dropped down from the pass though and walked down along Pasture beck, stopping to have a paddle in the stream to cool us down, a great day! Loved the drone work as usual.

[@noelwithington1048]

Another stunning video. Great views. Thank you

[@stevejohnston8254]

Fantastic video…great to see your passion for the Lakes 🥾

[@paulrobinson8263]

Awesome mate, my Xmas period was very subdued due to a 4 week Flu/Cold and just about got over it 👌👍

[@reluctantfellrunner]

That's a great video.

[@marpop99]

Always a pleasure to watch your work. thx

[@peterkuchenbecker5251]

If you are new to walking in the Lakes where on earth would you start ? . Start young I would say , I left it a bit late . Another cracking vlog .

[@DAoutdoors]

Wonderful video as always Glenn. Thanks ever so much for sharing your days adventure with us. Going to do that route on my next outing. Happy new year to you and Finneus! 😀🥾⛰🐶

[@stephenthompson1998]

Great vlog Glenn. Happy New Year to you.

[@nicmarlow6388]

*another walk added to the list* :) thanks Mr Crag, muchly appreciated. Not back until June (sob!) but this will be on the list. You always make them look so much fun and like i'll really love them although I know those couple of sharp pulls will be a massive shock to the system after 9 months without hills... (and you thought the xmas break was bad for being unfit) :) And a double decker, wise choice, hope you enjoyed? x

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@stephenbrown997]

Great video as always… wow stunning scenery.

[@lascellesthornton1976]

It kind of looks more like darth vaders melted mask looking up to the sky, that Kylo Ren has. But I’m with you. It does look like him. I was up Fairfield the other day in a blizzard and I saw loads of storm troopers like at the battle of hoth

[@benscott7004]

Loved the video! Looking forward to trying this one myself
