Great End Via Scramble Route The Band from Seathwaite (The Lake District)

drive.google.c...
Great End is the most northerly mountain in the Scafell chain. From the south it is simply a lump continuing this chain. From the north, however, it appears as an immense mountain, with an imposing north face rising above Sprinkling Tarn. This is a popular location for wild camping, and the north face attracts many climbers.
Just below Sprinkling Tarn Great End may be ascended from The Band (not to be confused with the more famous Band on Bowfell)

Looked quite a tough climb that one, very much enjoyed that, atvb to you and the Rockstar 👍

Thanks for watching Richard the route takes some finding in places sometime these pathless routes are more a mental challenge than a physical one...non the less ya right tough on my old legs 🤣 Tek care and stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏

Another brilliant vid, Andy and Billy. We met a bloke coming off Bessyboot last week who recommended this route so we'll definitely have a crack at this when we're up in June/July (got back home to Somerset yesterday) Plus a touch of The Wild West up there with the cowboy 😂😂 - The Big Country theme tune srings to mind. Weirdest thing we've seen is a bloke carrying a hod full of bricks on Stybarrow Dodd - he was doing all 214 Wainwrights carrying the hod for charity - great effort. We also saw a bloke on his mountain bike in Dodd Wood, and he had his pet parrot on the handlebars. 😂 ATB Brian and Jill 😊

[@RockStar67]

Thanks as always for watching Brian and Jill very much appreciated 😊....lol why would anyone want to lug bricks up a hill eh!!....its a great route guys you'd love it 😊 Have a great weekend Tek care and stay safe ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

[@andreabrook1634]

Wow! What a stunning video again Andy! Beautiful drone footage and great information about the area. That cowboy has made me laugh. I am saving Great End for the end of my Wainwright journey, hopefully climbing it within the next 5 years.. 🤣😁

[@RockStar67]

Thanks as always for watching Andria Great Ends a fantastic Mountain to save untill last...lol aye that Cowboy made my day 🤣🤣 Have a great bank holiday weekend ATVB Andy Tracey and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Superb video I really enjoyed it. How bizarre to see a cowboy on a horse.

[@RockStar67]

Cheers Chris thanks for watching very much appreciated mate Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

[@Happy_Hiker]

Stunning video once again! I was thinking one bit of the music was like a Spaghetti Western when lo and behold.. the cowboy appeared!! Great that you talk us through the route and show points to look out for but oh man, I could just sit and watch 3 hours of your drone footage with the amazing, accompanying music. Very well done once more! 🙂👏

[@RockStar67]

Got some great Drone footage coming in my next video Mandy beautiful light in the Howgills after that another epic Great Gable...thanks as always for watching very much appreciated... Have a lovely bank holiday weekend 😊 ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Loved this one. That area is one of my favourites, especially in weather like you had. Every time you get to the top it's almost like there's another world up there 💚 thank you

Thanks Claire...ive another coming soon Big Mountains same area...next one up (on line Saturday) is a little more gentle but beautiful light and drone shots from the Howgills. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend 😊 ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

[@richardgoodier7512]

Fantastic video Marra! Excellent drone footage which so enhances videos such as these. The views going up (from that plateau on the Band) and of the surrounding panorama/vista at the top were sublime! So interesting to see views of the famous peaks in all their glory. You did some proper trekking there - scrambling over rocks, going up steeply/vertically almost with climbing strides. The wall down the valley looked very good too. Certainly one of your best walks/videos - proper mountain walking that!

[@RockStar67]

Thanks Richard... Aye Marra these big Hills are my favourite walking out on't Ridge or Edge steep rough ascents I love em!! I love that drone bud I really do 😁 Thanks for watching and the great feedback. Tek care Marra ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Hello Andy, great video and reminded me of a great day on the fells, It was great to meet you and Billy, I did see the cowboy near the Styhead stretcher box too. I have subscribed and look forward to your next one. Just another 5 months to my next trip to the magnificent lakes. Nigel and Teg the superstar collie.

[@RockStar67]

Hiya Nigel...its always nice to stop and have a crack on't Hills it was great to meet you and the lovely Teg and what a great day for it eh... Fantastic!! we've had two more great walks since filming this one and we'll be back out tomorrow so plenty new videos coming soon and all very different. Tek care pal and thanks for the Sub very much appreciated 😊 Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

Evening Marra, wonderful as ever mate, absolutely belting route. Will have to do that myself. Always fun to do a little scrambling. I love watching Billy whizz (no pun intended) up ahead of you, then look back saying, ‘C’mon Dad, what’s keeping you’ 🤣🤣 All the best mate Dave 😀⛰🥾🐶

[@RockStar67]

Lol... cheers Dave very much appreciated...aye Billy's too cool for school in't he...he's so calm and chilled on the Hills...he's just a pleasure to be around mate we adore him.

Great video Andy.And I can confirm that border collies are batty as a box of frogs.Mine used to chase birds above my garden.

Aye mate thankfully Billy's a very calm lad now he's a bit older...i can confirm up untill the age of two he was absolutely bonkers couldn't work his own head out so clever he was stupid...then just like that overweight everything clicked and he became The super chilled out ROCK STAR ⭐ Thanks for watching buddy much appreciated Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏

[@ireneboston7953]

Superb video, as always Andy. That looks a really fascinating route up Great End. Even in popular areas of the Lakes, there's always relatively untrodden ground to explore. Good of that choir to get up on the crags to serenade you as you were 'topping out' on the plateau!! ;-)

[@RockStar67]

It's a fantastic route onto the High Fells Irene...no path on the map usaly means a quiet route my favourite!! Thanks as always for watching my apologies for the late reply 🙄 Tek care and have a lovely weekend ATVB Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes it is hard work all this filming and yes a great channel Dave has got. Very enjoyable watch to be honest, especially as I have this one to do, so I must remember those two big stones to turn off up to Great End itself. The weather looked great and typically, just when the weather starts to dry up and get really nice I get told I have borderline pneumonia after a week in bed and having missing it all - such is life! Cheers Alan

Fantastic Andy! I agree with the other comments one of the best videos yet. Just stunning drone footage! Ive watched a few videos of routes up the band which are very confusing route wise but with all the info you provide on your route it gives folk a chance to follow. Love the cowboy on Esk Hause. I was looking out incase any indians were following 😂 Superb Andy and Rock Star looking so chilled as usual. Many Thanks 🙂

[@Doddbagger]

There was no cowboy when I was there in March! It was clagged in with knee-deep snow on The Band which made for a very slow descent - as you said, not recommended in poor conditions.

Great video. This route is easily the best route upto Great End. By the way, do you know about the Victorian horse teather near the small wind shelter below Great End close by the path going towards Scafell pike.

[@RockStar67]

It's a fantastic route up Great End isn't it mate...thanks for the info I didn't kniw that so I'll have to look out for it my friend always sends me good knowledge regarding stuff like that...he told me They used to tie up the packhorses in Calf cove below Great End when escorting Victorians on to Sca Fell...all very interesting 😊👍🏻 Thanks for watching Kevin very much appreciated Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐ 🙏🏻

[@kevinball4410]

That's correct, the teather is a metal ring in a flat rock.
