The sheep for me are like wooly little mascots, cheering you on as you progress upwards.

[@julie-annehennessy8629]

This is the 2nd week in a row I've been having palpitations!! This is why I appreciate you showing these hikes in these conditions because I know I'd never do them as I'm a big scaredy cat. So again, thank you Glenn

[@fatbloke2285]

Great video. A very well deserved pint at the end too!

[@lilbird4198]

You know, I can't help wonder, when a herdy is standing there, stock still, and staring straight at you, what is going through their minds. 🤣 Thank You for another cool adventure, Glenn. The dancing fire at the end, was lovely! Big love to Finn. 💙

[@willbo2000]

Those Herdies were in perfect posing mode, amazing! What a great route, I'm fascinated by Slight Side & all that area round there.. Great video mate 👍😎

[@AlexJBethell]

You continue to be my favourite content creator, thank you

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

Happy Sunday Glenn , we do have such stunning places to explore in England , Scotland and wales ❤️❤️ well I’ll be starting of my brand new life in the cotswolds in 10 days 😀😀😀😀😀😀 , hugs to little Finn 🐶🐶

[@Dagrdottir]

Watching your lovely day has given me a lovely day. I walked the dog out in the amazing rolling hills and Oast Houses of the Kent and East Sussex border and it was gorgeous - glorious morning full of sunshine but not a patch on the Lake District views. I'm blessed to be in the beautiful county of Kent but I can't help looking all the way up to the Lake District with more than a touch of awe.

[@RoberthSagdahl]

Wow. What a beutiful landscape and nice vidio.😊

[@sheffycity]

Hiya Craig Thank you for the beautiful lovely mist and foggy walk where I was nice and warm talking pictures with my camera looking forward to the next one thanks 😊

[@sharonrojas9569]

This video took my breath away. I look forward to your videos and agree with the poster below==you make my Sunday the best day of the week.

[@MBC1955]

My first ascent of Scafell was by this route, though I returned via Foxes Tarn, Cam Sout and Throstlegarth. It was clear and bright throughout but still barren and empty: I saw no-one until Scafell summit. The ridge from Slight Side onwards was glorious. My second was via Lord's Rake, for the thrill of doing Lord's Rake. I intended a third, in order to tackle the West Wall Traverse and Deep Gill, but personal circumstances intervened to deprive me. I'm already looking forward to your summer video of that!

[@jonboypatton]

I was just looking for a new video. Ended up watching you doing a bag review. Anyway..I'll watch this whilst eating my tea.

[@mytcutube2]

Thanks for shepherding us up through your own ‘ Little Alba ‘ right in your back yard . Dragon ‘ s Tail in winter slumber and the strips of snow like icing along the approach to Scafell Pike are inspiring to see . The back door to Mordor looked haunting as usual . thx , kev

[@deekelley891]

Loved it! Atmospheric for sure, but a grand rumble just the same. Thank you, as always…

[@catherineevans6674]

Perfect Sunday viewing. Might leave this one to the experts but thoroughly enjoyed watching and the commentary and of course those Herdies 😊

[@archiesharpe2800]

Always look forward to your vids on a Sunday, especially hiking the wainwrights. The music at the start is amazing really sets the tone.

[@judywarner539]

Ah Glenn, I just love coming along with you every Sunday night 😊 It’s like all the pleasure of the walk but without the effort 🤣 Thank you for your effort & wonderful knowledge.

[@sarahdavies7851]

Love the way you know the name of every place you go. Such great knowledge. I could never walk where you go so it is so lovely to be able to see all these wonderful places. Thanks for doing it for us.

[@davidclark4839]

Fantastic video. Always inspires. Cheers

[@mrsc3664]

I did Scafell and Slight Side for my 40th last August. Via Great Moss, Cam Spout and Foxes Tarn and returning to Eskdale the same way as you. It was the most epic adventure ever. But getting off took forever! Was so glad to get back to the campsite at the end - luckily hubby came down earlier and had prepared a feast for the rest of us. Lovely to see this again - over the bog and all too 🤣 wonderful video as ever Glen. Helping me to enjoy the fells while I take care of hubby with his broken leg! Xxxx ⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️

[@cdraynes5129]

Yes agree, great walk and the Foxes Tarn scramble route you took, makes it a nice round trip and is the way I did it over 60 years ago. One of those walks where it is possible. if you are lucky, to see no other walkers.

[@thomasgibson9877]

Never lose your enthusiasm mate. Love following your adventures. Top bloke 👍

[@jonm4989]

Cracking vlog Glenn. Sca Fell definitely has a unique atmosphere and I think you captured it perfectly.

[@jacquilewis5694]

Thanks for the memories of a boggy ramble from The Woolpack to Wasdale Head and back through shoulder height bracken! Along with a 17 mile round trip from The Bower House Inn up to Harter Fell and back. Delirium definitely set in on both walks! Powered by wine gums!

[@fran-kittyayers5329]

Thankyou, beautiful scenery and cute sheep 🐑 total chill out tv 📺 xx

[@tingliasmr]

When I used to go hiking in The Lakes with my Dad and brother I always baa-ed at the sheep. It makes no sense whatsoever but yet I just couldn't help myself! ;)

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi there Glenn. Brilliant video mate. That’s a route I have on my radar to do very soon. I love Eskadal. Me and my daughter have been from WHA car park along the terrace about to Catcove back and then back down past the two tarns and back to the pub. She loved it. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always, loved every minute. All the best, Dave 🥾⛰

[@EyesUp1]

Your video's make my Sunday evening. As someone who's only just recently fallen in love with the Lakes District, your video's take me back there - until i can visit again.

[@jamesbailey8264]

Great video as always. Thanks Glenn. Hoping you’ll be heading out for a wild camp again soon 😀

[@mikenewey3949]

I walked that route a few years ago and loved the way the path was so faint in places.

[@SamB100]

Fantastic that mate. Loved the video.

[@melkerryberg]

I really enjoyed this one, there’s something special in this kind of weather that is so different from the “Sunny” days. Being in a way more focused to see things you can’t see… anyway, thank you so much.

[@h_survivalist3876]

Good stuff man keep it up as a person who's trying to hike all the peaks this is good information!

[@jeffreyroberts7438]

Fantastic vid. As you say, so peaceful and tranquil with great views through the mist! 👍

[@phillewis3108]

I don’t think there’s anything on regular telly I can be bothered watching for a full hour right now, but I’m happy to watch two hours of your videos back-to-back. I’m hoping to move to Cumbria in the next couple of weeks (solicitors be damned), and will be able to get out 1-2 times a month, rather than 1-2 times a year. Can’t wait.

[@Tony-P489]

Perfect valentine's day viewing. We watched while planning our next trip to the lakes. Keep up the good work dude. 🏔️

[@carltonbirds]

Very lovely, looks pretty realistic.

[@mikenewey3949]

Very enjoyable as always.

[@skatemetrix]

Looks like you got the exact same cloud I encountered when I did Sca Fell and Slight Side for the first time last Summer, I approached the two from Seathwaite and I navigated those two mountains plus Lord's Rake all in the mist. It seems the mist gives cliff faces and crags a bit of a wider berth so you can a see a bit more- which is most useful around the whole Mickledore / Lord's Rake area.

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

That looked amazing with the fog 👍🙂

[@munroist1]

Did Slight Side and back from Wha House via the Terrace route last summer....loved it!

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Atmospheric up in the clag. Best wishes out there.

[@davidnyeste7282]

This video has been great to watch. You see so many people showing you either Lords Rake or Foxes Tarn Gully as the way to or from Scafell, so it's been nice to see an alternate route if the others are too bad to use. I'm very much like yourself in that I much prefer a circular route or an A to B route for my hikes and not retracing my steps

[@Peter-Lindsay]

Great video Glen. I remember doing a similar route up to Slight Side and Scafell, except on the way down, I picked up a path off the West side of Scafell and headed towards Hardrigg Gill, then onto Burnmoor Tarn and Eel Tarn and back down to the Woolpack. Definitely soggy underfoot towards Eel Tarn.

[@scottnicholls8304]

Glenn, loved the episode! As soon as you said in your last episode that Scafell was next, I knew it was going to be a good one! I was expecting you to go through Eskdale, up Fox's Tarn to the summit then onto Slight side. But I'm extremely happy with the route you did, as I rate Scafell over the bigger one (only just!). Thanks for continuing with all you do to bring us a fabulous episodes full of waffle, views and fin-meister! Oh and I thought your night walking episode was great! Obviously lacked the views, but was a really good insight for people who are thinking about walking at night for the first time!

[@martinjordan5172]

Brilliant stuff - as always. Just like being out with a mate. I did that route late last year on a clear day and as you pointed out the views are stunningly beautiful. I also recall that the walk is lot more arduous than it appears on the map!

[@janehodgett959]

Awesome walk thank you 🤩👌✨🏔️

[@Alan-DPhotos]

One of my favourite fells. Walked onto Sca Fell a few times but never the 'Pike'. The only time I didn't have views was when I took the wife up when near the top the clag and rain came in. She still hasn't forgiven me! I usually start and finish in Boot and walk via Burnmoor Tarn. Tough route to walk up from there so the route via Stoney and Eel Tarn is preferred. I'll be in the area at the end of March so knees and weather permitting - 'a hiking I will go' 🤣

[@antanousazizi5352]

As always captivating......👌

[@burrianaUK]

Great video, especially as I walked that very same path up to Slight Side only the day before yesterday! 🙂 Stunning topography 👍🏼

[@stuartrogers621]

I love the Lake District! Did this walk in 1975 out of Brathay Hall on an ouward bound course for for my company. So grateful they sent me!

[@SparksWillFly64]

Great video again. Shame about the clag. If you have old footage or photos maybe you could drop those in to show the views that are possible.? For some reason always seem to find a large single malt whisky in my hand whist watching...keep up the good work

[@gladiator22666]

Brilliant, loved it 👍

[@trevorronson676]

Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!

[@Butchyboysadventures]

Another cracking vlog buddy well informed I will have to steal this route next time I'm up eskdale cheers for sharing 👍 quality

[@biffsnr]

Great video as allways 👍 Look forward to your return visit to lords Rake in summer buddy 👍👌

[@Rick-vm3xx]

It’s totally fine to be a herdy fan 🐑😍

[@richardborley7326]

Superb vid. Thank you 🙏

[@davidthomas9079]

Brilliant video and perfect length for an hour on the turbo in the pain cave 😁. I love Eskdale area, feels so remote compared to other parts of the Lake's.

[@gregmarshall1959]

We were up on Sca Fell (and down to Slight Side) and contoured back round, last summer.. it was a glorious sunny day - there were exactly 5 people on the summit of Sca Fell (and we were 3 of that total).. looked across to Scafell Pike - 000s of people in a big long snake...

[@yingtongtiddleyepo]

Did outward bound in 76 at Eskdale, love upper Eskdale, it has a magical atmosphere, my favourite place in the lakes! Love this video, makes me want to dig out my boots, I wonder if my hips and knees are up for it.?!😂

[@ANDIwPHOTO]

Wow, this hiking video is absolutely breathtaking! 😍 The scenery is stunning, and your editing skills really bring out the beauty of the trail. 🌲🏞 I felt like I was right there with you, soaking in the nature vibes. Your passion for hiking is contagious! 🥾🌄 Can't wait to explore more of your content. Hoping to see you on my channel soon too! 🤞🏞 Keep up the fantastic work! 👏

[@garethhunt2655]

Not done scafel yet, deffo on my to do list 👍🏻

[@mariojsworld]

Very nice misty mountain hike and ambience.

[@donnaparker9157]

Great video. Love the Lakes ❤

[@eddycurrant1380]

you are the master of this format and this realm - looking forward to lords rake when you get around to it! did broad stand (going down) when i was 18 ish, stupidity of youth and peer group pressure are my excuse, all a very long time ago

[@grahamsmallpeice1212]

Did Scafell and Symonds Knott in 2017. Ascended via Foxes Rake after dropping down at Mickledore after summiting Scafell Pike. Great views on that day ⛰️⛰️⛰️

[@mikewinrow364]

Apols Glenn only just watched your brilliant vid , once again thanks for keeping me away from SOAPS TV rubbish etc up in Langdale this weekend hope might see you

[@Rustymouse]

Those herdies, art and form to me peeping over the rocks. I would have snapped these with my mobile, I couldn't walk past , although I know you need a good camera focus like yours. . Then the mist again, like another time and place, enveloping you in with all the history that has gone before, how the earth was and still is. From 38.11 onwards for a while, the visuals are so neolithic . I think the mist releases strength of the place, the rocks and chasms, nothing has changed there for a millennia.

[@maltmalt1667]

Such a shame with all the clagg up there , been hiking up there for over 20 years now and only do the high summits if we are going to get a view , can remember doing this walk , scared the hell out of us on the summit ! , so thanks for the reminder 😅, keep up the good work mate

[@marcchrys]

Since late Victorian times, Scafell has been a rock climber's paradise. Magnificent rock architecture.

[@mikewinrow364]

Amazing views once again many thanks for brilliant vlog Glenn, understand why you didn't take Finn

[@karldouglas6645]

Glenn at the top of slight side if you look to your left .2 vulcan bommers crashed 1940s sill fragments and a wooden cross .

[@stevemozzie6497]

Stayed at Wha House in 2009. The car park is on the small side and must get busy at certain times of the year. More room at the Woolpack who charge £5 for the day. Visited Eskdale last autumn. The Boot Inn serves up some excellent scran. Managed a few decent images.

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Probably 10 years ago I did this exact route, time flys

[@danielcargill8019]

Wicked Pissah from a New Englander.🇬🇧🇺🇲🍻

[@colinboxall2692]

Great watch. Thankyou for sharing and the effort that goes into these vlogs. The big question~how did you get to Eskdale? Over the pass or drive round? I hate that pass having nearly come a cropper on the two times I have used. I hitch hike now for those that are braver than me ! I’ll walk and climb anything but not that pass. 😂. Didn’t know stony tarn existed having dropped off much earlier. In boggy conditions use 360 dry socks with liner sock underneath. The gate is the gate to the car park by the pub ~ as I have seen a bar across it on a few occasions. I’m not there much so could be wrong. I did Lord’s Rake a few times when the chock stone was in place. Not a rake to be in the snow and ice - stay clear. About to watch your next video. I hope it gets a bit drier soon !

[@evajohansson1872]

Hey been watching you'r vids for about a week and really enjoying it👍 However, since you mentioned hell, we have a national park here in Finland called Helvetinjärvi ( lake of hell) and the views are beautiful there. Havent been yet,but would like to someday😊

[@Johnlancaster]

Great film once more 🎉

[@shanegreen2583]

I remember taking my 10 year old daughter up harter fell. She was tired near the top but she managed to make it to the top. I wondered if it was determination but it was actually the packet of Oreo’s I said I’d give her when she got to the top 😂😂. Still fab memories

[@alanquinn3868]

Love All of your walks, The best I have seen, Thank you for sharing them How do I get the routs on my phone for navigation, I have a komoot app already Installed, I am pushing 60 so if you know any easier trundles it would be great

[@raymondsoltysek1411]

Great to see someone else who's brave enough to admit they're not that brave! No way I'd be going up there either...

[@robertbush6652]

Sca Fell so atmospheric great

[@paulyoung5393]

Did we spot you doing a bit of fell running there Glenn, or was the wind just blowing you down the path? 😀 How was the toe at the end of that rocky and wet walk? Thanks again for another cracking video.

[@8TENASTER8IDS]

.....Good Afternoon, I have watched your earliest released Hiking Vlogs, some Road Trips and all your Wild Camping videos, and currently S1-Ep3 Hiking the Wainwrights, all highlight the spectacular scenery, photography, the great British weather extremes, and your trusted companion Finn, however, just an observation rather than a criticism is that some videos contain far too much narration throughout them ??, although Series 1 Hiking the Wainwrights is over a year ago, maybe this observation has curtailed with the more recent, up to date video's, thanks Michael.....

[@MattHikesHills]

Foxes Tarn Gully is an easy enough light scramble up to Scafell. Well, it was about 10 years ago.

[@yingtongtiddleyepo]

Told my son to scatter my ashes on Great Gable when I snuff it! He said bugger that, I’ll send them up by drone!😂

[@t0m11]

Brilliant as always! Do you use a spyder holster for your longer lens? 😊

[@dixonpeter]

Great Vid, shame about the views as they are stunning on that route, Love Sca Fell, think I've done it more than Sca Fell pike actually!

[@dancleasby151]

Have you ever done or considered doing the Cumbria Way? I think with your videography skills, it would be an epic series. And it's a relatively low level walk so very unlike hiking the Wainwrights. 🤞

[@pamgrant832]

Absolutely gorgeoues countryside. I enjoy the sheep too, I have a Great Pyrenees. I dont notice any livestock guardian dogs. Are there not any predators to the sheep?

[@annerand8155]

Felt worn out watching that walk. Thanks

[@BlastastiC]

Accidentally herding flocks of sheep is all part of the hill walking experience 😂

[@petesmith6938]

Hey man, love your videos. What App or software are you using for your 3D route, does it work with Garmin Instinct?

[@karldouglas6645]

Sorry my mistake hurricane bommers 12th august 1941 .

[@ronhall9039]

Kudos to you for trying for accuracy - was a bit sceptical as Hurricanes are not usually classed as a bomber - possibly a fighter-bomber , but you were not wrong, another two young lives (Polish in this instance) lost on a British mountainside. My stamping ground is the Cheviots and although they are a lot lower - they are still littered with air crash sites. A sombre reminder of the price that earlier generations from all over Europe have paid for our present freedom.

[@Mharic]

What date did you do this walk We climbed scafell in January and the visibility wasn't great as the fog set it

[@jeffreykellett8660]

Good tab that

[@Athomewiththewilliamsons]

Just giving King Kong “vibes” as my 12 year old son is saying… very eerie and spooky!!
