[@8bitRambler]

Yet another amazing episode Alex, thanks for these 👍🏻 Joss Naylor was an amazing man, did so much to keep my love of the Lake District alive. He sadly died recently, 28/06/24, R.I.P The Iron Man ❤

Glaramara was one of the first fells i climbed as was Rothswaite met some friends from Plymouth on that day in 2008 the weather was very pleasant and the views were lovely . The following day i did Castle Crag with my Rough Collie Lady ,she is a typical hardy Scottish breed and everyone kept calling her Lassie ,visited the memorial at the summit and i placed a letterbox on the Crag before the summit for people to visit . I had several visitors when i went back in 2010 when I also visited Mullicans Cave ,cant believe someone lived there at one time . Great video as always .My favorite fell in the Lakes must be Bow fell ,when i did the Crinkle Crags from the Langdales so much to see ,ended up going to Great end and ended up in Seathwaite a brilliant Ridge walk if you get dropped off and picked up .Lady loved it .

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you for sharing such a lovely story! I think Bow Fell and Crinkle crags might be my favourite also. I spent yesterday on the other side of the Langdale Valley, stood on Pike of Stickle looking over to a snow topped Crinkle Crags and Bow fell, stunning! Thanks again 😊

That was a very interesting Lake District episode, a part of the Lakes I have not seen before. Excellent filming and some very pertinent tips for winter mountain hiking that are spot on. Looks like you had a great trip! Great to see some snow too 👍 Loved it 😁

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you Greg! It’s a great part of the Lakes especially if you want to avoid the crowds! Cheers Greg, hope you’re well 👍😊

[@nealjoyce8696]

Love your Lakes vlogs , Glaramara is always a boggy challenge with sketchy footpaths, we are currently on 135 so you’ve overtaken us 👏👏👏

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you so much 😊 you’re making awesome progress, gets a little harder towards the end doesn’t it, begin to run low on the routes where you can bag a load in one go. Hope you enjoy the remaining summits 😊👍

[@ervinslens]

[@andrewgoesoutdoors]

This is a great video - really enjoy them man! What do you fillm with?

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Cheers man! I used a GoPro for this one 👍

[@Tom-le2px]

Hi Alex, can you link OS Route ? thank you another great video

[@trytheoutdoors]

Great job. Out of interest, what were your layers beneath the hard shell? Didn't you over heat or is the shell well ventilated through pit zips etc?

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you. I was wearing a base layer, mid layer and alternating between a soft shell and hard shell throughout the walk. Added a synthetic insulated jacket at the top. I was a little warm but the temperatures were sub zero with the wind chill, would rather be a little warmer than cold. Hope that helps. I just recently uploaded a video on what I wear for winter hiking which might be of interest to you, cheers 😊👍

Could you show or share what micro spikes you use please.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

I use the Kahtoola micro spikes. I’ve been very impressed with them!
