MYSTERY structure of 'unknown origin' on this unusual fell

[@jillweare1563]

Great video Glenn. So pleased to hear the intro music is back ❤Autumn walks are my favourite. When you get that first slight nip in the air. Wrapped up and walking to keep warm is much better than flagging because you’re too hot and need shade. Plus you don’t have to take so much water!! 😂

[@StevenHawkings-d2x]

Winter for me is best for me. I come up from Somerset to the Lakes for a week every January and February with mates and / or my wife. Accommodation is at its cheapest, parking is always easy and there is nobody around, perfect! Admittedly the weather can be harsh but we all spend a lot of money on decent kit so let’s get out there and use it! Have just finished the Wainwrights for the second time. Currently trying to persuade my wife to do them all again! Love watching your channel.

[@sandihandi7831]

Walking in the SPRING of course. Flowers and trees blooming, birds singing and walking in fields and woods. That's what I enjoy. Besides, you have cute knees in your shorts. :o)

[@skatemetrix]

Carrock Fell and High Pike show the magic of the Northern Fells.

[@medievalladybird394]

If you're interested in a short and informative overview of Cumbria's prehistory, I'd recommend A. M. Ibbotson's book Cumbria's Prehistoric Monuments. He mentions the round burial cairns, the most prominent of which is at the centre of the hillfort. These cairns can date back to 2500 bc. As always thank you for taking us along.

[@grahamtowler1761]

All seasons are good, Autumn colours, greenery of Summer and frost and snow of Winter each has its own attraction

[@stevefrith7283]

QUESTION: Can ANYONE answer this question please. Black Crag's ability to name peaks that are in the distance is phenomenal. I don't suppose there is an app that can do this? So, I'm standing on one of the fells and recognise a couple of peaks in the distance, but would love to know what the others are. Anyone?

[@davidclark4839]

Cheers Glen another great video. Mungrisdale is a great place to walk with a lovely pub to finish with

[@judywarner539]

Hi Glenn. I’ve just come back from a week of hiking in the lakes (some of my walks inspired by you 😊) The weather was just as your video showed, bright crisp days with lots of sunshine. I actually enjoyed these winter walks more than summer walking .

[@ColinR52]

Another cracking hike good buddy. Autumn/Winter every time. Working 100% Spring/Summer. Travelodge Kendal town centre in December for £30 per night. Penrith 1st week January for £32 per night. The boggy fells are frozen perfectly by then.

[@DavidRushton-z2m]

Another great walk looking forward to next Sundays walk. mays the best month for walking for me inthe lakes

[@mickgrundy4615]

Top draw that mate, really enjoyed it. Stunning place. Thanks for sharing !! Rave on glen ❤

[@HeatherPark-ij7yz]

Great walk. Although the Northern Fells are our local place to walk we also love the Alpujarra Gorge north of Granada . Absolutely magical . Best in May or late September ( less people). Warm , amazing views etc Hope you continue enjoy the Northern Fells despite the misery of Episode 1.

[@northlakes34]

A favourite local walk you can’t beat the Northern fells 😊

[@ChrisSmith-di7un]

What a beautiful day you had. Thanks for taking us on the walk.

[@davepickard3913]

Great video - thanks. Love that route up Carrock Fell. Every season has its pluses but can’t beat a frosty, sunny winter walk. Stayed at the Mill Inn which is a good base for exploring many of the Northern Fells and always offers a friendly welcome.

[@antonysmith6457]

Hi Glenn, Our favourite season is definitely Autumn and Winter. Just came back from a lovely walk in Lyme Park hills and it was absolutely blowing like a tornado! We was being pushed by it!! It was dark when coming down and very errie and atmospheric. My wife, bless her, does incredibly well, considering she gets leg weakness and can fall. She watches you Glenn and gets inspired to walk up there again. Thank you for the brilliant videos. Love watching them. 👍👍🙏🙏

[@harleymac6308]

This was so enjoyable to watch. I'm so pleased to have discovered your channel. Since losing my mobility, I'm able to be transported to the most breathtaking views, thanks to you. Your calming voice & wonderful sense of humour are a joy to listen to. Thank you so much for the peace & beauty you deliver with your videos. 😊

[@walthamwayfarers]

Here's a thought, what about an extension to the series, Walking the Wainwrights with local history experts. Still loving the walks.

[@dominicoliver7505]

Winter walks are best. Always feel more satisfying to watch, as they are more challenging/more obstacles to overcome etc.

[@AdieJ62]

Wow, what a difference a day (week) makes! Crackin' hike on a beautiful day, with stunning views...and plenty of waffle-age! The perfect Black Crag blend. Thanks Glenn! 😁👍

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Beautiful colours 🍁 love the seasons we have , can’t beat living in this place ❤

[@mj-cd9lk]

Ay up mate. What a beautiful video 😍 looks stunning with the frost on the sunrise. I’ve just got back from a week in north wales, did Snowdon again and it was snowy up there but with a gorgeous sun over the peaks. Love winter hiking if wearing the right clothes but can definitely get a bit nippy. I’m hoping to do some of the walks I’ve seen in your videos. You always inspire me and when I can’t get out myself I love nothing more than watching your videos. It keeps me sane. So a big thank you buddy for always taking the time to do these and I hope you do them for many more years to come. Never stop being you and please, never stop talking and being as enthusiastic as you are, it wouldn’t be the same watching them. And I agree, a good climb and getting breathless does wonders for the heart even though at the time it feels like we might die 😂 I’m 51 now and in good shape 👏🏻 I put it down hugely to all the hikes and climbing I do. I love to see the beauty through others eyes when I’m not out there myself so it’s always a pleasure watching. It’s the best mental health medicine on the planet. Look forward to the next one as always 😊

[@lindashoemaker8940]

Hi Blackcrag found you a while ago love your descriptive wandering and waffling historical factoids and of course Finn from New Jersey 😘☕️🍄🍺🗻🐑

[@markp7745]

Definitely love winter in The Lakes. Not so keen o the rainy days but the cold crisp days are brilliant. Also less busy which is a bonus!

[@doverjaquesfineartphotogra4050]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant thanks, Glenn. Happy New Year. Wishing you a fantastic line up 'walk-wise' and health.

[@michaelatkinson8291]

My preference is definitely for Summer. Get to the Lakes for about 7.30am from Durham for a long day in the hills. Yes it makes for a sweaty ride home but they are days you never forget. Actually one such day like that I'm planning for next summer is Carrock Fell, High Pike, Knott & Great Calva. Can't wait.

[@duckypam]

What a lovely walk.

[@sheffycity]

Good morning Glen Thank you for another beautiful frosty morning walk I love spring and autumn walks looking forward to the next walk with beautiful views have a gd day glen😊

[@stevefrith7283]

200 beats per second? Wow, that's some heart you have there. Favourite walks ... small Greek islands in early May. The wild flowers would blow your mind. Great pub at the end. Stayed in Mungrisdale for a week and that was our local.

[@LaurenMelling-f5o]

Bloody hell i have heart issues with my ME but 200bpm is very high when consider human heart doesn’t exceed 240bpm…. Maybe a checkup?

[@BrianChappell-w5r]

Another great walk, Glenn. And finished up by a visit to The Mill which is our local when we're up there - we stay just a mile away from the pub so these fells are pretty handy to us. ATB Brian and Jill 😊😊

[@paulyoung5393]

I was sure I had seen one of your previous videos where you visited the Mill Inn, maybe I am mixing it up with my own experiences, your videos do bring back so many memories. The Carrock fell area has been mined since Roman times as Norman said and some of the mines were still active in the 1970's. Really interesting area to walk across and really enjoyed today's walk. Thanks as usual for taking us with you.

[@sharonrojas9569]

You asked what time of year we love hiking the Wainwrights with you and I will give you my favorite. I love your hikes in the fall but must admit, because I live in a part of Texas, USA that rarely gets snow, that I also love your hikes in winter. Once again you have lifted my spirits, and I am grateful. Keep your beautiful videos coming.

[@MrRichardgosiawood]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you Keep on living the dream ❤

[@celestenova777]

Great walk with fantastic views and what's better after all that to sit by the pub fire enjoying a well earned pint.😊

[@ianblanchard2406]

This is such a lovely part of the county. So much quieter than The Lakes. The walk up to Bowscale Tarn is a delight.

[@ElaineCruikshanks]

Fabulous FABULOUS intro, just love that music, great video once again, thank you ☺️

[@Summit-North]

Sunday evening sorted ☕️

[@richardpearson5036]

I allways loved the winter hikes, looking for aircraft wreck on bleaklow and kinder scout. I spent many happy winters out on the moors, there was no one else around.

[@IanTheOutdoorGuy]

Excellent video mate I enjoyed it very much. Thank you 😊 🇦🇺

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Those few lonely trees look stunning. Finnie looks so cute😅

[@ModelFossilist]

Awesome video Glenn, thank you! 😀

[@johnmull59]

Perfect walk is on a sunny, frosty day in winter, finishing up in a pub garden on a warm summers evening 🤷🏻 Hope weather clear when you get to Great Calva Fell... it's a pretty darn good view.

[@Davey71-ff8zo]

Great video as always. I’m with you on the hard bottomed boots, I slipped about 15 times walking the Coledale horseshoe earlier this year, I’ve not worn them since 😩

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Beautiful scenery especially towards the end.

[@Muddipaws1308]

I parked where you did, headed up to Carrock fell and over to High Pike and then back down towards the car, and came across some wild fell ponies, it was magical. The climb up to Carrock Fell was truly steep, many stops for me thats for sure

[@dixonpeter]

I struggled with Salewa's as well, did one walk up Causey Pike and found them lethal on some relatively innocuous terrain . Changed for some more flexible boots and all a lot better! Love that walk though, one of the better northern fells walks!

[@guybaddeley8447]

Definitely winter love walking on my local patch Bodmin moor here in Cornwall. Another great video Glen thanks.

[@LaurenMelling-f5o]

Thanks for the T shirts and a good year. Happy Xmas Finster

[@andrewparker8049]

Another great video .I love the music you played whilst in the van .Can I ask when you took this walk Glen ? As I was in the Scottish Highlands last Monday and it was similar weather

[@LorraineMiles-pr7bx]

GUTTED! No gates!! 😂

[@dancleasby151]

Thanks!

[@dancleasby151]

Enjoy a couple of pints (or at least a pint and a Mars bar) on me. Merry Christmas!

[@mk1aquatic739]

Love winter hill walks, fewer people about, no midges- especially important in Scotland! Favourite is spring though. Elements of winter, elements of summer. Everything looks crisp and fresh and with a bit more daylight. Summer can be too hot and a lot more people to contend with.

[@LeeStevens-e1j]

Autumn is best when its frozen, not when its thawed! Try and include the East Ridge on Bannerdale crags.. its awesome, and a lovely craggy treat amongst the greenery.

[@andrew-ij1or]

Telling the bird to calm down! 😂

[@juliesecker9405]

Walking in the summer months is quite nice. We come up to the lakes for the GNAAS charity walks. Max, out in the lake district, but i am quite happy to walk the fells any time of the year, though. Getting a bit of each season. Great walk again, Glenn.

[@norfolkhiker1449]

With regards to your hard sole boots, you really should try a pair of Vivobarefoot boots, my wife and I have the Tracker AT Leather, and they are sooo grippy on all terrain. Awesome video again, we watch all of them.

[@Evergreen...920]

This fort is at least iron age. The presence of a neolithic stone hand axe recovered on the surface here suggests previous occupations, and it was likely used/modified by multiple groups til the romans destroyed it, buncha jerks. Love to see the history bits in your video!

[@aaronhargreaves7873]

Great video, not explored the Northern fells, looks like great fell running terrain. Thinking of doing it but extending it to add Knott and Great Calva

[@antonysmith6457]

By the way Glenn, as regards walking boots, me and my wife have always worn Karrimor boots. I know we don't walk in as much terrain as you do and definitely not the same distance, but we've never had a problem with walking in all weathers wearing them. Not bad for boots costing only £95.00 for mine and £55.00 for my wifes. They last us years. 👍👍

[@ianrobert6239]

Excellent 👍

[@ac9110]

Excellent video Glenn. Be careful walking on those rocks. A broken ankle by yourself in minus 10 wind would be no fun at all.

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

There a old age iron age fort on Carrick fell

[@willbo2000]

The 'secret' part of the Lakes, never knew about the fort! Great video 👍👍👍😎

[@sandihandi7831]

Since I just had a mild heart attack, had a stent put it, I think I'll have to ask my Cardiologist if I climbed a mountain, would it be a "plaque buster"? Your heavy breathing kind of scared me. Sure I wouldn't be able to do that. You evidently are in great shape.

[@SteveWebb]

Just take it slow. I met an 86 year old with two new knees climbing Skidaw

[@jimjoelliejack]

I hope you do well after your stent, I’m 62 and last year I was not in a good place, I was obese and metabolically inflamed. I took a decision to change my way of life. I cut out sugars and carbs, stopped cooking in “veg” oils and eat protein and fats. I’ve gone from 15.5 stones to 11.2 my bp is back to 125/70 it was 160/90, my resting pulse is 53. I am aerobically fit and I have a muscled body that I am now proud of. I am now walking all these fells, did striding edge, swirrel and cat bells a few weeks ago, I do 20000 steps a day and lift weights. Try it, it may work for you. 👍🥩🥓🍳🐏🐟

Thank you 🇨🇦

[@HikingWithMartin]

loved this, just a side question, did you upgrade to the action 5? seems the image quality went up a lot in the last couple of videos.

[@rickay5363]

"I often wonder where Norman is now, probably wintering with his mother in Guildford, Vim under the sink and both bars on. " 😁

[@SteveWebb]

I've worn light weight Brasher boots for most of the fells they have been brilliant.

[@FatnFkdvsMountains]

My last video I put out was almost the same route as yours but stayed overnight in the hut. cloud, wind and rain both days and I couldn't of imagined them view 😂 really good watch

[@nickjh1968]

Aye aye Glenn, how you doing buddy? Time for a brew and kickback in the arm chair ☕️😉

[@bradleymorrison]

Great video Glenn, what brand of jacket is that? I'm tall and struggle to find a jacket of that style that is long enough. Yours looks perfect.

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

I took the mrs up carrick fell on our first and last walk. She was not impressed with the fort and complained about wet feet. I liked that route you did. One for the future. Thanks for sharing. Great crack as usual. You didnt moan as much on this one. 😂

[@iTaraSanchez]

I've been on a mission to find a lightweight shoe that covers most of my little adventures because I hate hard soles. I love the Xero Excursion but they are way too hot in warmer weather. I tried out Innov8 Trailflys at the end of the summer (having been a firm fan of the F195's back in the day) and promptly went over on my ankle half way up Castle crag ripping a bunch of ligaments (not fun walking back out to Rosthwaite) ruling out trail runners and forcing me back into my Scarpa Terra GTX which has been my sturdy boot of choice for years. But I've just caved and bought some Vivo Tracker ATs, they are super comfy and with the thermal insole surprisingly warm, I did a small 4 mile mooch out the other day in subzero temps and my feet were toasty warm.

[@baggies5000]

Looks a bit frosty ,was it cold that day? Good one Glenton.

[@KevisOutdoors]

Not really summer or winter that matters its cloud/views - crisp winter day is often the best but good summer days also good.

[@IanSmith-pi7gp]

You can buy a good cheap night heater for the van runs off your diesel

[@uk6961]

They don't like gates in this area do they - the Lingy Hut latch was nice though ;0)

[@stephensargent812]

Spring or winter walking is best

Erm, Where's the intro music that we know and love?

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Oh, you got me. I jumped in to quick. It was later on.

[@rikmoncur]

The Lake District without lakes. I love the high pikes and never thought I'd like the northern fells but it turns out they're some of my favourite places. Entranced and enraptured by this episode. Thanks Glenn - oh btw that was Silloth not Carlisle 😊

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

I didn’t cheat because I would of gone to the mill inn too 😊
