LORD'S RAKE to Sca Fell & Scafell Pike // The Lake District

[@kamucho]

I think it's safe to say your quietly becoming one of the best Lake District vloggers...unreal scenery and cinematography

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, really appreciate that 😊

[@laurabulger2177]

Rainy saturday days in the west midlands are made for binge watching Black Crag❤

[@paulbarber3324]

What a day! Hope to move back to the lakes on my retirement, if I still have the legs ,this is my goal! Thank you for re inspiring me again. Did a few walks whilst I lived in a town called Millom but only short, big times ahead! Thanks again!

[@paulclare1524]

Opening drone footage and music absolutely amazing, certainly one of the best vloggers on you tube, looking forward to returning to the Lakes when allowed. Stay Safe Glen and looking to your next vlog.

[@banditboy1965]

I did this route over 20 years ago before the chockstone first arrived so didn’t even know that one had come and gone since. It’s been great to relive this and recap the places I have been. Thanks for all the time and effort put into drones and photo video - it really is superb!!

[@andrewbeale2585]

A beautifully filmed video, and the still shots were wonderful too. Lord's Rake looks as good as when I did it. Foxes Tarn is a much more sensible route than Broad Stand, which can only be done on the driest summer days. This rates as one of the best days out in the Lakes, and I am glad you had Scafell and Scafell Pike summits to yourself. I am very homesick for the Lakes while being stuck in this dreadful lockdown, but you have made my day infinitely better watching this. Thank you.

[@timsytanker]

Love the aerial footage, turns a hill walking video into something epic and magical. The scale and ruggedness just pops out of the screen. Awesome.

[@wendyhassam8353]

Absolutely brilliant!! 😍 Amazing footage, awesome scenery & wonderfully entertaining. Thanks for another brilliant video 😀

[@flyingvisit2586]

I think it's safe to say this is one of my many favourite places to watch you climb. The Lord's Rake is a tough one but what a mesmerizing sight, I'm in awe. Well done you deserve a pint. 🍺🍺

[@davidthomas9079]

Did Scafell Pike a few years ago. Looked across at Lord`s Rake and thought i need to do that route one. Now after watching your vlog i`ve now got it my head to have a go....thank you.

[@judithhamid5435]

Wow! Edge of the seat stuff while you were going up Lord's Rake - kept shouting at the screen 'put the camera down and hold on to the rocks!'. Amazing drone footage too - some of the best. Thank-you!

[@ajollygoodchap]

Yes I agree with the comment below. I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Actually the National Park and Lake District Tourism should be paying yoù money!

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Stunning video no other word to describe it. Last time I did Lords Rake was in the scouts about 50 years ago. I must go back.

[@jonothanmorris6825]

Great video again mate. Makes me want to get into the mountains

[@michaelhornby2961]

Ill never forget dislodging a large rock on a climb there 20 years ago. There was an inversion so I never saw much, but heard the crashing of rocks below me. Luckily nobody was there.

[@BlackCrag]

That must have been a heart-stopping moment!

[@Nigel_Pugh]

I've only done Scafell Pike twice, once at 03.30 hrs, whilst doing the National Three Peaks, and on both occasions it was absolutely pouring down so there were no views whatsoever. Great video. 👍

[@Carvetii]

Sca Fell and the surrounding mountains are the remains of an old super volcano from over 400 million years ago. loving the vids dude makes me proud to be a fellow Cumbrian from Penrith

[@malcoppock4255]

Lords rake is on my todo list. Great commentary all the way up. By heck it is steep.

[@andyhinch1155]

Great films, really inspirational ! I'm working my way through them (this one is my favourite so far!) Your videos give me a much needed 'fix' until such times as we're allowed out once more. Thank you for your great work, it's a massive relief at this time, well done on the superb quality. Take care.

[@tonymurphy8926]

Great blog, been walking, running camping biking 40 yrs or more. Can't get up there much as of late. You take me right there. Fantastic 👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, that's so good to hear 😊

[@MancOutdoors]

Me and misses have done that same route about 3 years ago in the summer around 26 degrees and it was a killer way to hot 🥵 lords rake is challenging and in our group of 6 a couple of women froze whilst heading down the first section before lords rake and one our colleges helped them along to lords rake and then up to the top one of the best days views we have ever had .another top video 👍👍👍👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much.....it sure is a brilliant route 😊

[@wasdalemanexploringoutdoor5137]

On our first ever wild camp we went up the lords rake then sca fell to mickledoor just like that for a nights camp. It nearly killed us dragging a 18 kg bag up there, so I can fully appreciate how hard going that was. It’s a hell of a down and up off the back of sca fell too! Some cracking footage and a lot of effort put into this video well done. Really enjoyed this and love the views of gable they were stunning. All the best.

[@xjessukx]

One of your best vlogs to date

[@BlackCrag]

And one of the hardest 😜 Thank you, appreciate the support!

[@paulbennison2614]

Fantastic opening drone sequence.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@maramaharris6735]

Footage so crispy an clear, angles onpoint,sound on point. New subscriber

[@TheLoanWolf79]

Me, the wife and our two daughters were on the edge of our seat as you went up Lords Rake. Brilliant vlog! Keep them coming mate 👍🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Haha, oops! Thanks for watching 😊

[@wildhypnotist]

I loved every minute of this video. Gripping entertainment. Thanks for creating such stunning footage.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@bmu1982]

Excellent video, very informative and inspiring. Thanks for posting 👍

[@philpoole5670]

Fantastic drone footage and camera work … topped of with great knowledge of the lakes makes for an interesting vlog 👍

[@burrianaUK]

Hiya Glen - I got a two day overnight pass last weekend so popped over to Church Stile camp site at Nether Wasdale. Helvellyn via Striding and back down Swirral on the Saturday... then a big tick off the bucket list on Sunday - Scafell Pike, then Scafell via Lord's Rake and the West Wall Traverse! I wish I'd done it your way, rather than down from Mickledore! Your video just brought it all back and we took a near identical line up Lord's :-)

[@garymcnamara6296]

Yet another brilliant vlog, with fantastic commentary. Stunning scenery in the opening few minutes. Definitely a route to be added to the Lake District bucket list

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@paul_d_cannon9640]

You are without a doubt the best vlogger for the lakes awsome fella well done 👏

[@damianharrison9807]

Well.. just stunning that mate. Nicely done 👍🏻 Spicy meatballs tho... brilliant 🤣👏👏👏

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😋

[@deanshaw3449]

Did this route yesterday. Brutal!!!. Real sence of humour failure on the so called path to Fox's tarn and back up to Mickledore. Legs are on fire today. Thanks. I think 😂

[@BlackCrag]

Nice one! It is a brutal route indeed! Well done for doing it though 😊

[@willbo2000]

Absolutely cracked it with this one mate, fantastic! This is my telly viewing sorted for the whole week! Brilliant..

[@BlackCrag]

Haha, thank you Will, appreciate mate 😊

[@markmurphy7356]

Simply outstanding. Possibly the best Lakeland vlog on KZbin. I'd love to see Jack's Rake given this treatment! Atb Mark.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much......once I get a head strap for the camera 😊

[@DrJohnners]

Staggering footage at the start, top job. Went from the foot of Hardknott pass through Eskdale valley, up Cam Spout, Scafell Pike, Narrowcove back to Eskdale in 29 degrees heat a few days ago. Can't wait to go back!

[@Rexcursus]

I’m loving your work! Of all the places I’ve seen in the world the Lake District is still my favourite. I’m currently getting geared up to make the switch from camp sites and day hikes, to multi day backpacking and wild camps. Your videos are getting me so revved up for the first adventure. I just can’t wait!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much for watching, glad you're enjoying the videos 😊🙏

[@petersmith7711]

Another fantastic vlog, the quality of content is unrivalled 👍🏽

[@Brock_in_the_North]

50 mins of Black Crag! You spoil us 👍

[@johnnyg834]

Right that's it! I've been putting this one off for ages (due to being a bit old and doddery),but you have truly whetted my appetite for this adventure. Plus any excuse to go and visit Piers Gill shouldn't be missed.Great vlog fella.

[@robingalloway9735]

At last! An excellent video run through of the Lord's Rake route. Thank you so much!

[@BlackCrag]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230]

The best video I've seen on this amazing walk. Just found, and subscribed to your channel. Like me, you do it for the passion of just being there. Brilliant!

[@markprice470]

another epic hike around the lakes - awesome video Glenn - another one added to the to do list :-)

[@BlackCrag]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@markpursglovephotography]

Excellent adventure.👌

[@carolfitton2446]

What a fantastic walk, brilliant video, keep up the good work 👍

[@OlgasBritishFells]

Beautiful video. Great hike!

[@benravetta]

New subscriber! I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while now, I love your editing style. Moody! Watched this entire video. I’m always in the Lakes and I’m a photographer myself, but I never know how to climb mountains etc. usually alone as well, as the Mrs is boring and the dog is a psychopath and will probably pull me over the edge. But yeah, enjoyed the video. RIP drone (and me if the Mrs ever sees this comment) 😂

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks for subbing and watching 😊

[@robbie74able]

amazing can't wait to try it out

[@BlackCrag]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@Kate-pw2ju]

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@rodhepplewhite9722]

Awesome, I really enjoyed the vlog, it reminded me I must get back to Scafell via Lord's Rake, the West Wall Traverse & Deep Gill. Cheers 🍺🍻

[@warrenfontana1325]

Another cracking vlog, love watching them very informative too. And interesting facts about the places you visit along the way, and being from the north west even i didn't know. So you do learn something new everyday.

[@tikistevo]

First class! 👌

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊

[@mrjiggs3761]

Great shots in this one mister!

[@johnmarrs]

Now that's an intro Glenn! A great vlog mate. Lord's Rake looks like a great challenge, it's on my list to do!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks mate, appreciate it 😊 You should give it a go!

[@hikingwithmarty]

another amazing video, what a wonderful landscape and truly great insight into both your hike as the environment. Such great images... leaves me speechless otherwise.

[@BlackCrag]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@richardwillingale7013]

Epic as always! Fantastic shot of Great Gable! Hope your drone is ok! ATB and Stay safe.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks mate 😊 drone is still alive....just!

[@kristapple]

Well I’ve just watched the first three minutes and wow, stunning views, can we just have a vlog of drone footage and nothing else 🙈😂😂 right best watch the rest now, just had to comment 😃....and now I’ve finished I hope your drones survived the ending 😱

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 Check out Love Letter to Lakeland for more drone goodness 😁

[@adriankenward9371]

Have done Scarfel, Foxes Tarn, Mickeldore and Scarfel, then back down Eskdale from Esk Hause, epic!

[@stephenroney452]

Fantastic 👏

[@BlackCrag]

Many thanks 😊

[@paulhulley5969]

Love your vids, very interesting & entertaining, & inspiring

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, that's brilliant to hear 😊

[@stephenfidoe]

Another cracking vlog, definitely one of our favourites. Keep up the great work, it's always a highlight when we get to watch your latest adventure. "Spicy Meatballs" 👍📸⛰️😂

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@Jonhope7]

Amazing footage! On a lockdown, home-sick search of my home-from-home, I was so pleased to find this top notch footage. Also including one of my favourite routes! West Wall Traverse is my usual avoid-the-crowds snack spot! Great relaxed but informative commentary too. Even though I've hiked that area extensively and for me you were not explaining new info, you were talking in such a way it felt like a casual face to face confirmation of a shared experience and I actively listened! I'm so pleased to see quite a bit of other content to click on too! Subscribed! As soon as weather, lockdown, lighter pack and a head mount permit, I'd love to see your takes on Skew Ghyll and Cust's Gully on Great End or threading Napes Needle. Sitting watching my footage back looks like a shaking monkey filmed it! :) Safe travels! I can't wait to see where this channel takes us all!

[@chrisedwards3198]

Fantastic video

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks 😊 🙌

[@deborahlegge1304]

Awesome as per!!

[@davidgreenhouse9715]

Quality stuff man!! Epic shots and footage....👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😊

[@matthewbinns5690]

Another great vlog, this time from where I have already been. I did Scafell Pike first, dropped down from Mickledore, up Lord’s Rake to Sca Fell then back via Burnmoor. You’re right, it’s incredible up there! Look forward to the next one👍🏼

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, that's a fine route too 😊

[@jonboypatton]

That looked tuff going. 😮

[@john8451]

This really shows how steep the Rake is behind your back! 16:40

[@sneven69]

Another amazing vlog G the drone shots 💙👍🏻

[@susanwilson9421]

Love your vlogs, inspiring

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much!

[@Johnlancaster]

Absolutely wonderful vlog once again. Felt like the editors cut, kept me up past bedtime :)

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much......and sorry if you didn't get enough sleep 😁

[@willie7287]

I did that route in 1976 then at different times as the years went by, plus lots of other things.

[@RichNoons]

Superb vlog really enjoyed this one. Some cracking photos and footage as well. I hope the drone survived!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much.......it survived.....for now 😊

[@tomaszkarpinski5767]

Liked and subscribed. In a week time I will do this route, unless weather will be poor, then I will avoid lords rake :)

[@biffsnr]

Absolutely hooked on your channel buddy 👍.. just wondering if you could possibly start mentioning the difficulty level , ide love do this one ,I'm a beginner and not best with hights tbo... Great work sir 👏

[@tuttobicci]

I just stumbled across your channel. Excellent stuff, with great narration. Subscribed!

[@MrKevinsharp84]

[@dawnmason2378]

Brilliant, absolutely loved this vlog. As soon as we're allowed to we'll be coming to do this route. Wanted to do it for some time now 👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊

[@emz_adventure]

Wow what a great find. Just subscribed and shall be viewing your adventures !!!! Inspiring

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Ace video BC. Fantastic images all round. Done Lords Rake a couple of times and as you say a helmet would be wise (I didn’t have one either). Like you say, that haul up to Mickledore is a killer. Done a couple of camps up there this year. It’s a stunning spot. ATB - Dave

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 A camp there would be amazing!

[@georgeshort4112]

Watched a few of your vlogs and just noticed you talk to yourself like I do. Phew. I’m not alone. Ha

Incredible vlog Glenn. Well done.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you Fiona, you're too kind 😊

[@BackpackingUK]

We were going to do this route last year but bottled it. The camera (as good as it is) doesn’t do it justice! I’ve shared your channel with my mates. Great vid again.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it 😊 and thanks for sharing 🙌

[@darylswalker]

Loved this one dude! Still yet to head up here and this route looks appealing 🙌

[@johncompton8902]

Amazing and informative footage, was on my to do list this year, but belly up ! next year😊, think I’ll take my bump hat for Lords Rake, 😬

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊

[@SheRexGram]

A better day for it than when I attempted it 🤪 Maybe dinosaurs just aren't cut out for climbing? 🤔 🦖

[@MattDoesMountains]

Class footage bro 👏👏
