Hampsfell in Grange-over-Sands // Hiking Vlog #17

Filmed on Saturday 17th August 2019
With some of the most spectacular 360 degree views in the area and a 350 million year old limestone pavement it's not really very surprising why I love this place so much!
Hampsfell in Grange-over-Sands is my regular stomping ground, being just a 5 minute walk from my front door. It was nice not having to drive and being able to wear a light bag for a change. Obviously young Finn joined me on this one and she had a wonderful time on this very windy day - despite almost being killed by a sheep!
We walked up to the Hampsfell Hospice which is a nice little stone shelter built by the vicar at Cartmel Priory in 1846. As I mentioned in the video this is where I bumped into Will Holligan ( / will.holligan ) during last year's 'Beast from the East' storm.
Full disclosure: due to the very high winds on this day I wasn't able to fly the drone but fortunately I had some archive footage from previous walks - phew!

You certainly walked much faster past that horse. They don't scare Finn, oh no...They go after me too. 😵‍💫 Love the silver light over Morecambe Bay. A really lovely walk/run.

Went up Hampsfell this weekend whilst camping near Grange/Cartmel following on from me watching your Vlog. Glad I did, what a fantastic little hill with cracking all round views. Loved the hospice on top too. Cheers!

[@davidkeeley3681]

Fantastic video i live in the top half of lindale and i walk my dog from the other side of Hampsfell i start from the bridle path at Lingarth fantastic walk every day is different.

[@seansgirl80]

Ha ha- “hullo scary friendly horse”! Laughed out loud a couple of times watching today. Love watching your videos. With two small lads I can’t get out on the fells as much as I would like right now, but I’m living vicariously via your videos and making a list to tick off when I can get out for some more adventurous walks. Plus your photos are immense. 👏

[@BlackCrag]

Ah, thank you so much, that means a heck of a lot 😊🙏 Hopefully you can get them out into the hills soon - it's the best playground 🙌 and horses are as scary as hell! 🐴😱😂

[@yvetteprice8097]

Thanks, Glenn, for making this fabulous film of such a wonderful place. It has a special place in our hearts. Absolutely love the 360 view from the Hospice. You know the captions/subtitles translation of Harter Fell into “Heart of Hell”? Well, at 1 min 33 when you said “Morecambe Bay” that translated to “More Canned Beer”. As residents of Heysham, and lovers of ale, we thought this was a lovely, funny and very appropriate “malfunction”. 😂😂😂😂. PLEASE keep making these films. We love the content, your delivery, sense of humour, factoids, gorgeous Finn, and the SPECTACULAR drone footage…. By far the best, and most inspiring Lakeland vlogs on KZbin. Bravo! All the best, Yvette and Mark.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much. It's comments like this that make all the work worthwhile! There's another video (How Barrow I think) where the auto subtitles change my words from "I'm going to bomb it along this wall" to "I'm going to vomit along this wall" 😂 I should learn to speak the Queens English!

[@yvetteprice8097]

@@BlackCrag Oh please don’t change a thing! I look forward to many more auto-caption hilarities 😂. I’m going to have to check that one out. Seriously, though, first class quality vlogs. Am gutted that I’m almost through your entire back-catalogue now. Love every minute of them all. Thanks so much. Yvette and Mark

[@fiona_lark]

Beautiful video, I know Grange Over Sands well but never explored the area walking with my camera so this was so interesting, thank you.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much Fiona, really glad you liked it 😊🙏 I can highly recommend it, you'd get some incredible photos 👌

[@garymartin557]

nice to see places that fly under the radar

[@mikemcloughlin883]

Really enjoyed this. Hoping to do this area this week.

[@karenpearson6991]

List of fears- 1. Horses 2 Spiders 3. Scary woods 4. Playing footage back at home and seeing 'something' following him. Someone should make a horror film just for you!

[@ryanglynn7080]

I got married in Cartmel (Longlands) in December 2019. Was back for my 1 year anniversary in 2020 and walked up this wonderful fell on one of the mornings we were there! Love the vlogs, keep up the great work 😊

[@willbo2000]

Fantastic this mate, totally enjoyed it and thanks for the mention, very kind 🙏 - that was one helluva morning in the bfte! I am enjoying this from a wild camp above Langdale, what a treat! 👍 👍 👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Will, appreciate that mate 😊🙌 It was definitely something I'll never forget up there that morning 🥶 Have a fab night bud, ever so slightly jealous 😁

[@Beswicki]

Just been over there myself yesterday after getting hopelessly lost on the way up through the woods out of Grange. Wonderful view North to my campsite at greaves farm made up for it. twas a Lancaster- Ulverston walk hardly saw a sole walking yet beautiful places. Subscribed.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much for the sub....those woods are very easy to get lost in! :-)

[@markpursglovephotography]

Nice to see a new area. 😊 📷

[@judithhamid5435]

I am with you on the 'spider horse' thing! Really made me laugh. And lovely to see someone as tough as you is anxious about spiders! Horses can be very scary too in a much bigger way - tried horse riding lessons to get over my fear a few years ago. Worked well but you have to be careful which end you approach them from. Love your videos - really comforting at the moment. Love Phinn!

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much for watching 😊 🙌

[@CatchavistaAerial]

Great video! Looks a lovely route to walk!

[@jenspiers1085]

Superb as always Glenn..I definitely need to get down there to see for myself, that limestone pavement looks incredible 😍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Jen, you'd definitely love it! And we could get the rest of the gang out 🙌

[@robertlloyd5463]

Good stuff Glen!!! That limestone path looks epic

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Rob, appreciate it buddy 😊 It's like walking on the moon up there 🙌

[@RobLawson1982]

Looks like a good walk. I’m on my way to the hills tomorrow. Can’t wait. Haweswater Hotel is the first stop. Hoping I can do the Highstreet route with a view this time. Fingers crossed 🤞.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Rob 😊🙏 Got everything crossed for you mate 🤞🤞 Sure you'll have a grand time whatever the weather 🙌

[@andrewsims4123]

Finius will protect you from the spider-horses 😀

[@beardbootsandblisters9129]

Whats behind you is a great big arachnid! Ha! Great video. How did you snub out the stick?

[@BlackCrag]

Haha, please don't say that! 😂 I use a 360 camera that does it for me 🙌

[@dancleasby151]

Love your videos, thanks for making them. I'm originally from Barrow, now in Canada, and I was in Cartmel November of 2019 before covid. Definitely a beautiful area. Have you ever walked the Cumbria Way? With your camera work and personality, that would be an amazing series!

[@ododargo]

hey i was born on walney island small world born 1956

[@cmdogphotography657]

Spider horse 😂. Me and Murphy got stalked by cows in the peaks. We're doing your langdale vlog 8 hike next month. The OS routes are great thank you

[@BlackCrag]

The abomination that is the 🕷️🐴! Thanks Chris, glad you enjoyed it. Cows like stalking, that's for sure! Would love to see some photos of your Langdale walk next month 👌

[@cmdogphotography657]

@@BlackCrag fingers crossed I can get something half decent 😂. I'll let you know through Instagram 👊🏻

[@karenpearson6991]

Where is the starting point please?

[@pcharnock]

Love your videos Glenn keep them coming! We were up Hampsfell only last week - some of the best views I’ve seen a real 360. Would you add Helm Crag to your list it’s one of my favourites and would love to see your take on it? Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you so much and super glad you liked Hampsfell.... It's a great little fell! I absolutely will put Helm Crag on the list 😊
