HELM CRAG | A Solo Hike From Grasmere | Lake District National Park

[@ashleyjarnold]

Really enjoyed the tranquillity of your video and the scenery. One of our favourite fells, and possibly the only one we've done twice. We love the Lakes District and I always enjoy discovering another channel to watch and learn from. Well done, regards, Ashley

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ashley, so pleased to hear you enjoyed the video - thanks for coming along with me on the hike! I can see why it’s one of your favourite fells, very beautiful 💛

[@nickoutdoors85]

Another great little film Christine, thanks for sharing your walk with us

[@shefreelyroams]

Cheers Nick, glad you enjoyed coming along on the walk with me 😊

[@ervinslens]

This lake is absolutely gorgeous my friend. These shots are phenomenal, love it!

[@shefreelyroams]

It is a stunning lake to capture & explore on foot from the neighbouring hills! Thanks Ervin 💙

[@PhilipOlsen11]

That was lovely Christine. You did well with the weather. The scenery was stunning 👍

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you so much Phil :) Yes, very lucky with the weather, couldn't believe how beautiful it was when the sunbeams crossed over the neighbouring mountains!

[@davidthomas3193]

Quite spectacular, thanks again for sharing you Lake District adventures. 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you David, no problem at all - glad to have you join me on the walking adventures in the Lakes 😊

[@danwells3401]

Lovely chilled out viewing, as always 😄

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Dan, glad you enjoyed 😊💛

[@nicklasbergman836]

Beautiful landscape. So different from what we have here in Sweden.❄☃

[@shefreelyroams]

I can only imagine - this video was shot in our winter & no snow in sight! I'm yet to visit Sweden but imagine it has equally beautiful landscapes. Thanks Nicklas for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@tommotomlinson3370]

Cracking route with beautiful views back to the lake...that sunbeam was awesome...thanks for taking us along 🤙

[@shefreelyroams]

No problem, happy to hear you enjoyed & also appreciated the sunbeams - so pretty! 🌞 💛

[@shanesworkshop922]

Absolutely stunning scenery. Really enjoyed this video and thanks so much for taking us along!

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Shane - happy to hear you enjoyed the video & coming along with me on the walk 😊 it's a really beautiful landscape to explore & capture!

[@AshokPatel-x6t]

Great video Christine and enthusiastically composed. Thank you for sharing.

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ashok, pleased you enjoyed the video 😊🫶🏻

[@JasonSays]

Another walk on my list that I've now done from my sofa! The scenery is great, we can see that with our eyes, but it's even better when the presenter (you) highlights the things you enjoy... sun patches, distant features, post walk cake etc. Makes it feel like a tag-along and worth subscribing to see another day out. There are many walks to do in the Lake District, so I'll suggest an impromptu one I enjoyed last Autumn with roaring stags. Hartsop > Hayeswater > Angle Tarn > Boredale Hause > Hartsop. Good luck with the channel.

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Jason, so lovely to hear you enjoyed the video & felt like you were tagging along virtually! It's a beautiful route from Grasmere, great variety & perfect to end back in the village for some well earned cake & tea! Ooo I haven't done that one yet, will add it to my list to do next time I visit, thank you 🫶🏻 hope you have a lovely weekend :)

[@tylerstravels0610]

Lovely scenery and beautiful views of the lake, great vblog take care x x

[@shefreelyroams]

Cheers Tyler, it's a great walk for views, glad you enjoyed & thanks for the support 💛

[@delmiller4184]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching. I am an Australian coming across later this year. Can't wait to try this walk. Wow! What amazing scenery!

[@shefreelyroams]

Oh definitely enjoy the lakes when you come over, one of my favourite national parks in the UK, so uniquely beautiful! Thanks for watching again 😊

[@ianreynolds2106]

Great video and walk. I walked up there many years ago to see the Lion and the Lamb.🙂

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ian 😊 It's a great walk to do & glad to hear you've done it previously, not sure where it's name originates from but yes, great craggy summit to enjoy!

[@ShaLace]

Great video. Only just found this. Off to do this next week for hubbys Birthday x thank you for the tips x

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you, pleased you enjoyed the video 😊 hope you both enjoy the hike and the visit to Grasmere next week!

[@flyguy1359]

Looks a lovely walk Christine, have added it to my list. I often stay over night in the centre of grasmere in my little camper van, love it there. Alcock tarn is another great walk from the village 😀😀

[@shefreelyroams]

Yes, definitely recommend & you can easily extend it, to include Easedale Tarn as I've heard that's lovely too! That sounds so nice, Grasmere is a beautiful base & will have to add Alcock Tarn to my list for later this year as haven't explored there yet! Thank you 😊💛

[@bobferguson4415]

Lovely so tranquil.

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Bob, glad you found the video calming 💛

[@marksingleton5176]

Hi Christine, wow certainly looks like you’ve had amazing trip, stunning views thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Mark! I had an awesome time & already looking forward to getting back - glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@niclrig]

Lovely video. Hoping to do this route next week 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Nicola, hope you enjoy the walk next week - it's a beautiful route to do from Grasmere and can be extended if you fancy exploring Easedale Tarn too (weather permitting!) 💛😊

[@Renejohnsen1]

Great footage in a beautiful landscape 👍💎👍

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you René - it's truly a beautiful place to explore on foot 💛🥾

[@Muddipaws1308]

Beautiful thank you

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Julie 🫶🏻

[@Muddipaws1308]

@@shefreelyroams you are welcome. I have been working out a road trip for me and my dog coming in to Belfast. Up to Giants Causeway and down the west coast. After taking in to account food, fuel, accommodation it's just way too much money. Shame as my grandad is from Ireland and I so want to go there

[@shefreelyroams]

@@Muddipaws1308 never been to Ireland but want to, I really hope you manage to find a way to make the trip 🤞🏻 sounds like it would be amazing if you could make it work 💛

[@gbfch]

Apologies for a late response but only just came across the channel. Could there be a better day for it? For me those days are better than the hot summer days. The views and the colours of the fells were really something. The walk can be extended with little effort by continuing onto Gibson Knott.

[@shefreelyroams]

No need to apologise, happy to hear you found the video & enjoyed! I agree, the moody weather just brings something special to the Lakes & yes hoping one day to do that and along to Easedale Tarn before returning back to Grasmere 😊

[@matts_hiking_adventures]

What a really good video! I really enjoyed watching it 👍. I might just sub and watch a few more!

[@shefreelyroams]

Cheers Matt! Nice to hear you enjoyed this one & thanks for tagging along on my adventures 💛😊

[@matts_hiking_adventures]

@shefreelyroams no problem, your videos are a pleasure to watch I look forward to many more of your hikes and adventures.

[@shefreelyroams]

@@matts_hiking_adventures thanks Matt 😊💛

[@Ksmyth4792]

Beautiful scenery. You make me nervous with your hands in your pockets 😄

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you, it's a beautiful part of the lakes & oh no, it looked worse underfoot than it was in reality, felt comfortable having my hands tucked away! 😊

[@markjohnedwards8470]

That looks a great hike

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Mark, it was great fun - would definitely recommend it if you haven’t done it! 👍🏻

[@markjohnedwards8470]

Not done helm crag done haystacks fleetwith pike and catbells

[@shefreelyroams]

@@markjohnedwards8470 they’re all incredible too I’ve heard, I’m yet to do them! Every time I pass Catbells it always looks so popular

[@markjohnedwards8470]

Catbells is a great hike

[@shefreelyroams]

Will have to give it a go soon then!

[@mrz5705]

Whatever camera you are using is showing off my all singing and dancing 75" TV, 4k, HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc...🎥👏👏👏(don't get out much now).

[@robbrooks5263]

She does so you don't have to. :)

[@shefreelyroams]

Amazing, happy to hear my videography is being put to good use & you enjoyed the video 😊🙌

[@PaulJowett]

Definitely hooked on your videos Christine. You’ve such a beautiful approach to the walks. Do you ever recommend overnight places to stay? Thanks

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Paul, really lovely to hear that 😊 I don't tend to on my KZbin videos (yet) but hoping to set up a blog in the next month so can share my favourite places to stay/routes on that, so watch this space I guess!

[@PaulJowett]

@@shefreelyroams thanks Christine. You’ve really inspired me and given me more confidence to walk alone. Keep the videos coming and keep enjoying the walks 😊

[@happycampersNewcastle]

If you havnt you need to do raven crag in Thirlmere

[@shefreelyroams]

No not yet done that, I've visited Thirlmere but imagine the views from the peak back would be incredible - thanks for the recommendation, will add to my list for later this year! :)

[@robbrooks5263]

Lovely scenery and I really like those jaunty, dramatic angles on the walkby shots. Perhaps just try ducking the music in the edit when you're speaking so we can hear you more clearly. Other than that, amazing.

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Rob - glad you enjoyed the video & good shout on the music, that's something I can easily adjust in future videos, appreciate the support 😊 💛

[@benhunt8091]

Great video! This is a walk we really want to do. Does anyone know the route, or have a map or GPX file of the route?

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ben 😊 this is the route I followed below, hope you enjoy the walk! www.walklakes.co.uk/walk_77.html

[@mundex125bieszczady]

Great :). Me and my 3 colleagues are going May 14-21 to lake district. For 7 days. We will live in Ireby Wigton. If you want to join us for a trip to the mountains on one of these days, we cordially invite you.

[@shefreelyroams]

Glad you enjoyed the video & thanks for the invite, unfortunately I am not free that week in May to join you, hope you all have an amazing time though & the weather treats you well! 🫶

[@andrewmatthews9211]

You need some gingerbread and a nice cuppa

[@shefreelyroams]

Most definitely, the gingerbread shop in Grasmere was sadly shut when I got back! Managed to grab a cake and cuppa at another cafe though ☺️
