Many many moons ago I took my daughter to a carol concert in the big cave , it was all lit by lanterns . Ps we have met before up on the fells . Lovely video it brought back lots of memories .

[@FablesandFells]

Wow that sound incredible. I hope they do another, I'd love to go. Haha no way 😄 Which fell?

[@Outandaboutwithpoggy]

This lovely video bought tears to my eyes, rekindled memories old, I was in my early twenties when I did a YHA weekend in the Lake District , and like yourself I made my way to Rydal Cave where amazingly the small sticklebacks were swimming around in the pool, it was around 1975 , not been back since and now 70 with disability and mobility issues, these type of walking and camping videos serve as a memory aid, When you are a young person old age seems a good way ahead, I had 23 years in my local Ramblers and YHA group, and went all over the midland shires walking, spent 40 years birdwatching from 1979 to 2018, taking me to some pretty nice places in the UK and further afield, met some amazing people, so like I say your videos and others serve as a wonderful memory of times past, just make sure you enjoy your life to the full, any regrets, only one and that is I never met such a pretty young lady such as yourself when I was out on my walks, I would have shared my Mars bar and Kendal mint cake with you , I was good looking back in those days, Thank you for sharing such a lovely video, now where did I put that box of tissues, Mike West Bromwich 👍👍👍

[@RogerEvans-dx4cs]

Yes, a beautiful area. Went for a week, must have been 30 years ago, with three other people and stayed in a house right above Rydal Mount, Wordsworth's family home. Easy walk to Ambleside, the start of the Coffin Route was right at the bottom of the driveway. Went to the caves, which I think your video makes them look more spectacular than I thought they were (!), then left and walked up to Loughrigg. Great video, love the presentation. Have subscribed and looking forward to the next video. Thankyou.

Lovely little walk, we hiked up there back in September, like you, we went early so had Rydal caves to ourselves, we continued up to Loughrigg fell summit, then dropped down into Grasmere, then back along the lake, through the wood, past Rydal water and back to the car park. It’s perfect for families with small children to introduce them to the great outdoors. We filmed it and published on our channel 😊 Love The Shackleton family ❤

The fernseas really threw me off, and for me a while I thought you must be living in New Zealand. Untill you came across that Lake District marker. Which was mentioned in title but I overlooked that😅 I had no idea England had this kind of nature as well, or that the Lake District is this big and rugged. Somehow I always pictured it differently and was probably thinking about the Peak District? Beautiful place, and thanks for showing 😊 I enjoyed this a lot.

[@FablesandFells]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! What are "fernseas" sorry? Curious 😄 I would absolutely love to visit NZ, especially being such a big LOTR fan. Yes so the Lake District is the largest national park in England at just over 900 sq miles. It's much more mountainous than the Peak. Glad to share a little of it with you 😊

[@HerrFinsternis]

​@@FablesandFells ah yes the fernseas 😅 this will sound silly but I was refering to the plants behind you at 1:30, a sea of ferns. I had no idea they grew in the UK in such abundance. It instantly reminded me of the rainforests in New Zealand, which is why my mind went there I guess. Like I said, I had the wrong idea of what the Lake district looks like. Is wildcamping allowed / tolerated there?

[@FablesandFells]

Ahh ok haha, yes we have tons of ferns! The grow in the woodland as well as out on the fells - bracken is the most common. It's tolerated so long as you follow the full wild camping ethos ✨
