Catbells

A boat trip on Derwentwater and walk up Catbells in the Lake District.

[@bushcraftbanter]

So many people on the top there taking selfies instead of just taking in the sight and appreciating the beauty. I understand documenting it but with selfies, jees. I could sit up there for hours and not say a word. Great vid bud, thanks for sharing. ATB, Mike

[@wnchillbilly1]

I cannot imagine a more daunting adventure for any grandfather than to follow his young grandson & young pup up a long cliff side trail , , , you sir , , have my utmost respect and admiration. .

[@WiltshireMan]

Great stuff, a beautiful place. Good video. Sandy

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Wiltshire Man Thanks Sandy, I hope you have just as good a trip in Snowdonia, everytime I've been there's been low cloud and rain, dam Welsh weather lol.. ATB, Damian.

[@windy1965]

A cracking day out for you, Christopher & Bobby in a wonderful place with scenery to die for. I bet that all three of you fell asleep on the sofa within an hour of getting home ! Thanks for sharing. Take care & all the best, Neil.

[@lemonsquishy8400]

Such beauty it leaves you wanting words to describe the place. Wonderful. Thanks for letting everyone see this. Getting good with these videos. Really good! Christopher will remember this for the rest of his days, so much better than a video game! Nearly there, I need something to eat! lol. Kids.

[@jackguzzlercliffy4050]

Thank for sharing the video, takes me back . My friend and I did a canny bit of backpacking in the early 70's around the Lakes. Get tired now just watching you guys.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Fantastic video and so nice to share this with you son. I was up there last year with my 30 year old son and despite him carrying my backpack, I had a right bloody chew trying to keep up with him. Brought back a lot of good memories watching this. Thank you for sharing it. Cheers Alan

[@kladivonadezolatov]

I used to live in Keswick! This video brings memories of one of the happiest times of my life. Thanks for upload!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Paradise. what a place and great to see you and the lad out and about again. Cheers Moose from Oz.

[@Confusedduckling499]

This was great. Brought a smile to my face. Thanks.

[@dazzt3548]

Classic, what a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@wolswildcamping1257]

An awesome place. Your little man did really well. Thanks for sharing I loved it. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.

[@ramfrancisuk]

Looked knackering. Excellent views once at the top. Lovely trip for father, son and doggy ;)

[@martinharrison2538]

Great video, stunning views, being from the Isle of Man I can see the peaks of the Lakes on clear days. Me and my mate went Easter 2014 camping in the arsehole of nowhere, but was amazing. Your vid has certainly made me want to go back, thanks

[@Markwildcamp]

brilliant Damian, films getting better every time. good to see the young lad enjoying it. plant the outdoor seed now, he'll keep it up forever. thanks for sharing Mark.

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Markwildcamp Thanks Mark, I spend way too much time in front of the PC editing and tweaking footage instead of just getting out and doing it. I'm always trying to improve and take things to the next level. Christopher has loads more energy than me and beats me to the top every time. Had him wild camping too and totally loves the great outdoors,. ATB, Damian.

[@CrazyHungarian]

wonderful views!!! thank you for another great vid

[@Edogawa1117]

Lovely video,mate. Great views and a wonderful day out!

[@jamessd7677]

Your camera work and video editing skills get better with each and every vid you post son, that was a good un, video and audio! That's another place up there in The Lakes I haven't been to yet that I'm going to have to get to one day now, ( thanks to yourself )! I live down south here in south London so isn't as easy for me to get up that way as it is for you, but one day yes, thanks again lad.

[@levistubbs8949]

Excellent photography, well done !

[@Tritovator]

Great video, The landscape was so natural must have been lots of fun. Peter

[@garethleyland4942]

It is such a magical place. So satisfiing to get to the top. Great vid mate!!

[@lethalmizzle]

That was awesome. I've been going through all your videos and this one was a little bit different. Great music and time lapses. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChristianRouse]

Nice video buddy, & well done Christopher, keep 'em coming.

[@GINGER_out_and_about]

Top Video, getting your lad out and about. Can't knock that, better then been stuck indoors on a video game, keep em coming best on you tube

[@NatureInspiredSnipsnSnaps]

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Julie Liddle Thanks Julie, yes show it to your class, if it inspires people to get out from in front of the telly to enjoy the great outdoors then that makes me happy. ATB, Damian.

[@nobbybravoalpha1870]

Great video great scenery and effort,looks like the lad keeps you on your toes mate....ATB Nobby

[@derrickfelix503]

Lovely video, Keep them coming Cheers

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Nice scenic video, enjoyed watching thanks, atb, Paul.

[@blamhof]

Nice one Damian very enjoyable trip bud, some magic Father and Son time. Oh! And Bobby too. Great video. Mick.

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+blamhof Thanks Mick, I had planned on walking up Skiddaw but that carpark near Latrigg was full and was feeling under the weather so didn't fancy walking from Keswick, I'm just pleased the mountains will still be there for the next time, Damian

[@EtherealLightPhotography]

Lakeland in all it's autumnal glory! A great trip out for you, the wee lad and pooch! Your fabulous wild camping films have got us thinking about getting an inflatable kayak similar to the one you feature, to paddle round our loughs! ATB from Ireland, Martin and Sharron (Purple Peak Adventures).

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+martin critchley An inflatable kayak is a great idea and inexpensive for the amount of pleasue you get from them. Its great climbing mountains but its just as nice seeing them from a different vantage point like on a beautiful lough, ATB, Damian.

[@neilmccarron4940]

Crackin video. Fantastic views. You really caught the place well atb.

[@WoodyAndy]

Some beautiful footage there. Missing the mountains.

[@ThePosiview]

Cheers, bud, I'm wild camping on Catbells in May :) Cracking video.

[@HansPetterOsvold]

nice day hike, what a beautiful place, thanks for sharing mate, atb Hans

[@monicajones8450]

Thanks for sharing. Looks like that was a great day. Stay warm and safe man. I hear UK and areas are getting socked with bad weather.

[@seanbeast939]

Great video Damian. Still one of my favourite "easy" walks in the Lakes 😃 ATB Sean

[@johnjames218]

hahaha did the barn carry you up every time you see a mountain in the uk there is like a thousand people on it when you get there nothing stops little bobby stunning view great vid as always

[@Itsmedansee]

great channel! that's three places you've put on my list now lol.

[@MarksWorldOfAdventure]

We hiked Catbells in July. One of my mates wanted to do Blencathra but non of the guys were up for it. Catbells was challenging enough for me. ha ha. The views across Derwentwater on the way down were spectacular. Nice video

[@Fell_Wanderer]

Catbells is quite steep on the final slope to the summit. Its not as easy some make it out to be. Thanks for watching.

[@MarksWorldOfAdventure]

@@Fell_Wanderer I didn't think it was easy at all. I has to do about 10 exhaustion breaks on the way up

[@amigodawn1728]

Impressive editing Damian. Another entertaining video.

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

very well put together damion.took my daughter up at about same age.it catches a few people out as its quite a little lung buster. onwards & upwards cheers.

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+thegeordiefellwalker Thanks, the walk looked easy when viewed from Keswick, I've wanted to do Catbells for years and never got round to it, putting it lower down on my list of walks to do, I thought it would be too easy and have too many people, being a popular family walk. I was always lured away to other high level walks but having the youngin there made me finally do that walk, pleased I did as its one of the best especially the view over Derwentwater.

[@jonathanambler]

loved it Sandy.

[@andreafluffkitten]

That's a really nice one. :)

[@gezb8035]

Fantastic vid, Bet ur proud of that boy!

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Gez B Yes Thanks, he's a proper little fell wanderer, beats me to the top every time.

[@chrisdrinkwater26]

You are a real inspiration to dads top man👍💪

[@reggow]

Great video, professional quality production and great views. what camera did you use for the timelapse?

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Gary Williams Thanks Gary, the camera for the timelapse was a Panasonic HC X900, ATB, Damian.

[@johnrossSorbie]

awesome view great for hand gliding ,

[@nikholmes9472]

excellent video mate

[@thecheviotwildcamper6172]

Excellent.......just been there myself, steep little fella

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+The CheviotWildCamper its deceiving how easy it looks from Keswick until you start the climb, over the first hill and you think there is only one more peak which is the summit but there is another, had me confused to what was the summit of Catbells, didn't take a map just me gps as I thought it was an easy walk but you are right very steep. ATB, Damian

[@geordiewildcamper1988]

amazing views from the cat bells. young Christopher done really well, he seems a right little fell wanderer in the making Haha. i take my little brother out all the time wild camping in wark forest and he loves it, especially when we stay at houghtongreen bothy. we are off to roughside bothy for a 4 day work party in March with the MBA and are going to do a few nights wild camping beforehand. You should try and attend with the youngin as it is a great experience for us and them especially when they learn the history and also get taught things like roofing and pointing etc. Hope Rom see you there pal. ATB Niels

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Niels I've thought about staying in a bothy but you can't guarentee to have the place to yourself. When I'm wild camping I know there will be noone else around. I think anyone who uses the bothies should give something back like help with repairs like you said. Thanks for watching. Damian

[@geordiewildcamper1988]

+Fell Wanderer i know what you mean that's why i always have a wild camp spot planned as a plan b. you can't beat the outdoors being free to roam with nothing but yourself to rely on. but still that feel and smell you get in a bothy is just as addicting. we are doing 2 nights wild camping and 2 bothying. keep the vids coming. atb Niels

[@bobbysomerfieldoutdoors4444]

My lass said your heavy breathing reminded her of some anonymous calls she got a few years back :)

[@Adventure-Cornish]

Wow what a place 👍👍👍👍👍 ATB Mike #StayCornish😬

[@anthonyrushton3495]

Well done all three of you

[@acedecs]

hi Damian, my favourite part of the lakes mate love borrowdale and newlands valley.

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+acedecs Borrowdale is a good base for many nice walks in the lakes, the campsite at Seathwaite is where I normally go with Keswick not far away for supplies.

[@acedecs]

the owner of that camp site is who I have my permission from to use his woods for hammocks and over nighters, he's called richard.

[@MsShooter008]

please please please we're waiting for more beautiful video we love you sara from tunisia

[@themuss28]

great video mate should have took your tent with you had a night under the stars ;-)

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Ricketymanfilms There are too many people on Catbells to camp high up on the fell so would have to arrive really late to have some privacy, lower down at the lakeside would have been nice though, the sunsets over Derwenwater are amazing. The next night I was going to do an overnighter on Walla Crag but felt under the weather so gonna put that one on my list to do for next year. ATB, Damian.

[@goonluv]

Hi Damian lovely place to walk can get a bit busy. Love bobby he's a double of my Russell did ya son love the walk.? Atb Gordon

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+goonluv Gordon its a beautiful walk, one of Lakeland's finest. Christopher loved it, I know from experience when I was his age and spending time in the hills, its a spark which ignites a life long love of the outdoors. Start them young and they're smitten for life.

[@Adam_Outdoors]

Great vid, thanks for sharing. Doing same trip myself soon so was good to see it. Would have been much better in HD though bud, only went upto 360p here.

[@bushcraftbanter]

+AdamOutdoors You must have caught it while KZbin were still sorting out the resolutions. It's in 1080 now :)

[@Adam_Outdoors]

+Fergs uK Ahh, you're right. Has full HD option now :)

[@bushcraftbanter]

No worries Chief. Cya soon hopefully!

[@Adam_Outdoors]

+Fergs uK Well I was hoping to make it up your way this week but got chest infection at the moment, helping a mates mum move house and my nieces birthday on Saturday. Fancy an overnighter next or maybe Sunday?

[@bushcraftbanter]

Possibly. We'll sort it on FB. Camp is almost done. Two beds to do, all three shelters are finished other than the debris and maybe line the pit but otherwise we're on the home stretch!

[@WorldSurvivalist]

Cool vid

[@andyc3088]

Bobby looks as fit as a butchers dog lol

[@Thelegend-gt5lb]

How long did it take you to drive up there

[@Fell_Wanderer]

+Richard Harrison it takes 2.5 to drive from my home near Newcastle upon Tyne
