[@AlanMETALMAN]

Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel - what a real nice comment, appreciate it. Thank you very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@jennyhikes]

Wow, I love that ridge walk. That is beautiful! And climbing the rocks looks fun too, and I’m sure quite a challenge! Mrs. Metalman did awesome! The reward is always those awesome views after the hard climb, right? Such beautiful countryside at the bottom. That bus service is nice! Ooh, Bailey’s fudge! Looks delicious! The town looked fun as well. Overall great trip! Congrats on 500!!!!!!!!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Jenny, I love that climb, not too strenuous to be honest, although Mrs Metalman was blowing a bit at the top lol. Cheers Alan

[@WalksWithOlly]

Stunning views and very well done to Mrs. Metalman! :-) Congratulations to you also, Alan, for the 500 well deserved subs.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

[@GazianoOutdoors]

Stunning scenery as always, you always capture it so well, nice scrambling on that, it's harder than what I thought it was to be fair, always wanted to do the cat bells at some point. Haha made me laugh at times with the cheering and stuff. The views are incredible from up there, cracking video and walk mate , all the best to you both 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Gaziano Outdoors - thanks for watching Gaz and your kind words, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

Thank you very much for watching Shaun and your kind words, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

[@WyeExplorer]

I love walking them foothills Alan - down in the valleys before getting to the main objective. And what an objective for the 'born dancer' to tackle. She did it mind and in a cold gale all be it one that didn't know if it was coming or going. Fabulous hike and good timing (the rain). All the best. Mark

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Mark, always appreciate you watching and yeah, if the rain had to come, best at the end of the day lol. Cheers Alan

[@WyeExplorer]

Yes indeed, so long as it was at the last. Mind yo nothing a willing heart and good gear cannot handle!

[@WithinHikingDistance]

What a beautiful hike. The photo at 2:41 is stunning! What a stumble at the end at the end! Love the cheering sound when Mrs Metalman made it 😂 The view is fantastic but so much wind! Great photos taken up there. Cheating taking the bus was well deserved! And congrats for your 500+ subscribers 😄

[@AlanMETALMAN]

In all the time I have been hiking, I have never known such strong winds on a summit, we took one photo and headed off the top as quick as we could lol. Thank you for watching and your congratulations, appreciate it, cheers Alan

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and after all these years, this comment has just now appeared waiting a response, which I always give - better late than never I suppose lol, cheers Alan

[@SoloHiker]

Terrific Alan, congratulations to Mrs Metalman!. If my memory serves me right,Catbells was my Michelle's first fell and we did it the way you suggested with the gradual climb. She also said it would be her last but she has been up many now including Scawfell Pike. I bet Mrs Metalman didn't appreciate the cheering you added in post production 😁. Congrats on the 500 subs mate. ATB jim

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Ha ha, she did ask, "What's that all about" but when I said it was cheering, she was happy enough lol. Thanks for watching Jim, cheers Alan

[@stubloggs6358]

I think our lass is starting to struggle with the higher fells, she prefers ''lake walks'' or woodland hikes.......... ...we aint getting any younger Alan......well done to Mrs Metalman like, she finished it. I keep reminding myself life is too short and that keeps me going year after year...............cheers,Stu.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Appreciate you watching Stu and I know what you mean, it's not going to last forever, so grab it while you can is my moto, cheers Alan

[@weekendwanderer5514]

What a beautiful place. The missus did very well! I took my wife out for a hike a few years ago, she saw a snake and back home we went, lol. Congratulations on 500 subs!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Ha ha, oh no, you would never see Mrs MetalMan again is she saw a snake, poisonous or not lol. Thanks for watching and your kind words, cheers Alan

[@HikeCamp]

Congrats on the summit Mrs Metalman!! and you as well Alan ... 👍 Fantastic views. The lower path was lovely as well. The smiles say it all!! And by all means congrats on the 500... 😁

Looks like a tough climb, although definitely worth it, stunning views up there. Best regards Andy.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Andy and to be fair, when I was up there last year, with my grandson, there was a woman there with 4 year old twin girls who made it up lol. Cheers Alan

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

Awesome job....good on yer' Mrs Metalman!! Really enjoyed that! Looked at this one as a future walk...thanks for showing the path for us newbie walkers!! Bit scared of the scrambling tho!! Great vid!! 👍👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and I will guarantee you will be fine. If you come up and down the way we came down, there is no scrambling at all. Brilliant views at the top and last time I was at the top, there was a mother with 4 year old twin girls there, so you will have no problems, cheers Alan

[@campervancapers6320]

Alan METALMAN - Hiking & Outdoors That's great to know!! If a 4yr old can do it...weve got no excuse! On the list! 👍👍

[@couch2trailyoutubechannel281]

Some spectacular views there! Mrs. Metalman will only remember the good bits after a few days lol. Tell her good job for me!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Will do and you are right, she was quite chuffed when she saw the video maybe Wainwright number 2 may be on the cards lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@eddiecaisley5746]

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Doug and appreciate you watching brother, cheers Alan

[@LezleysAdventures]

Congrats to Mrs Metalman, we scramble the same lol,

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Lezley - ha ha, it must be a woman thing but I was real happy for her, as I have been trying to get her up there for ages lol. Thanks for watching Lezley, cheers Alan

[@leonachrispye1591]

Firstly please pass on our well done to Mrs Metalman, catbells is a false summit, with a few scramble sections for a smaller fell it packs a punch. Beautiful views all around and the wind soon picked up for you glad you both got down safely. Great video thanks for sharing ATB leona and chris

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching guys and it was mad at the top, never felt the wind so strong at the summit. Mrs Metalman say Thank You both :) Cheers Alan

[@TinasOutdoorAdventures]

nice day out love the views

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Tina, appreciate you watching. Cheers Alan

[@mandythorpe8400]

Great Vlog Alan, I have just binge watched it all over 2 days. I love walking but have so far limited myself to going out with others but you have inspired me to do some solo walks and not miss out. Also great to hear a local accent, I miss it since moving to York (originally from Gateshead) Keep walking and vlogging!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you very much for watching Amanda and your very kind words which I appreciate. I was the same, until about 18 months ago but got sick of waiting of my son or friends getting the same time off as me and as I only work 2 days, there were plenty of opportunities for me to go out solo, so I did and found I enjoyed it. I have seen so many ladies out walking in the hills by themselves now and I have a fellow female vlogger, who also wildcamps by herself, so go for it. If you ever see me out in the hills, don't forget to say hi. Cheers from Co Durham, Alan

[@blamhof]

Always a pleasant hike Catbells with great views over Derwent Water. A shame the wind was so strong but well done Mrs Metalman on your first Wainwright. Atb. Mick.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Mick and yes, she was chuffed with herself - only 213 more to go lol. Cheers Alan

[@Rameman33]

Those hills make me want to para-glide,and i don't even like heights! Maybe that's an idea for the next time Alan,a quicker and more panoramic descent.Nice chilled video mate,like your editing style.Andy.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Andy and appreciate you watching. Must admit, that's a canny idea mind, as long as I did not land in the lake lol, cheers Alan

[@PreparedCamping]

Great video mate some amazing views thanks for sharing! 👌 Nothing wrong with getting a bus mate particularly an open top like that so you can get the views again, you'll be 1000 subscribers soon! Take care Roo

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Prepared Camping - thanks for watching Roo, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

[@PreparedCamping]

Alan METALMAN - Hiking & Outdoors my pleasure mate thank you for sharing it's beautiful there man!

[@unowhotravelchannel]

We love Catbells, been a while since we last did it, so thank you for sharing your hike and views 😀👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Nee problem and thank you for watching, if you get back there again, I hope you have warmer weather than we did lol. Cheers Alan

[@DestinationEarth]

Those really are some stunning views aren't they? Haha, it must have gotten colder, you switched back to your winter hat there at the top. I'm glad you decided to treat yourself with the bus ride back. After that hike you both deserved it! Congrats on making it to the 500 sub mark!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Ha ha, too right Josh, got dam chilly at the top and the fact what I was wearing shorts, did not help lol. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan

[@AdventurousAdam]

Another great hike Alan. You 2 did awesome! I know the feeling of taking a break every 5 minutes haha but like ya said you have nothing but time. Such stunning views! And the grass is so green looking down on it. Great stuff! Cheers :)

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Adam, appreciate you watching buddy and making a comment, cheers Alan

[@2FeetForward]

Well done Mr and Mrs M. Shame about Hellvelyn but it’s not going anywhere.Where is the good weather? Just checked the weather for our trip next week, -9 and 17 cm of snow tonight 😳. Cheers. Austin and Lucy.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Good God, I hope you have both packed woolly vests. I thought we had it chilly lol, looking forward to watching your video and thank you both for watching, cheers Alan

[@LaSombra150]

Nice one. Cant wait to get up there. Was gonna do it other week but totally forgot 😐But i hate scrambles.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

You would have no trouble with this one Paula, especially if you come up and down the way we went down, no scrambling at all that way. Thanks very much for watching Paula, cheers Alan

[@billygoatfilms7531]

Congratulations Mrs METALMAN on your first Wainwright 👍👍👍👍 a splendid effort indeed. Enjoyed the crowds cheering you on up. I wouldn’t have fancied walking all the way back into Keswick and the bus seemed the sensible thing to do. Yes all in all a very enjoyable film. I’m hoping to get to Sykeside on Thursday and staying until Wednesday, so if you fancy a walk, canoe, climb (perhaps a classic VS route?) or simply a pint just let me know. Cheers! ⛺️🍺

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for much for your kind words Mike, we both appreciate it. I work Thursday and Friday and got family stuff on over the Bank Holiday weekend but free on Tuesday for a hike out and a drink. I did not do Helvellyn last week due to the weather, so if you are up for that, if not I am happy to get out and hike anywhere.....Hmmmm, I will see if I can get over on Monday night with my tent (I promise not to camp close to you), if not, I can be there for a very early start on Tuesday?? Cheers Alan

[@billygoatfilms7531]

Alan METALMAN - Hiking & Outdoors : Whatever days suit you Alan just let me know and we can do Helvellyn if you like. ⛺️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Great Mike, Tuesday defiant and Monday night hopefully. I will e-mail you my mobile phone number Mike and good to see you back in the lakes! Cheers Alan

[@MaxandKalisAdventures]

go gal mrs metalman....Cant wait get up them fells,no car so i have to wait for friends shift their butts lol :)

[@AlanMETALMAN]

sista maxine - thanks for watching and been trying to get Mrs Metalman up there for ages, so nice to see her finally make the summit, even though she nearly got blown straight off lol. Cheers Alan

[@MaxandKalisAdventures]

Alan METALMAN - Hiking & Outdoors.. Aww lol tell her im always getting blown about being little 😂😂 all fun 👍

[@Johnlancaster]

Catching up on the back catalogue! Dead right about underestimating it, some tricky bits on that ascent

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Too right John, so many people think it is just a walk in the park and a easy stroll to the top and it takes a bit more effort than that. Still, a real nice view from the summit but as remembered, we were hanging on for dear life to that summit kern, it was blowing a right Hooley lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@maryashbridge]

Mrs Metalman did well, and if it's going to be her first and last you picked a nice one, the views are great from the summit of Catbells. Great video Alan, enjoyed it. How are your knees and camera after Sunday? Mary

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Mary and commenting. My knees were fine and even better news, so was my camera, got some great footage of Sunday, which will be up next week. Cheers Alan

[@maryashbridge]

That's great news, look forward to the video next week.

[@deliverybloke]

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Ha ha, nawt wrong with a breather marra, canny to take in the views as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@cumbriancamper]

[@AlanMETALMAN]

cumbriancamper - thanks for watching Shaun and I was pleased that she got to the top. Believe it or not, she made it to the top of Ben Nevis 20 years ago but struggles with asthma a bit now. Cheers Alan
