HIGH RAISE, SERGEANT MAN & BLEA RIGG

[@emz_adventure]

Good evening Alan. Normal service has resumed. And yours is the first video I'm watching. What a beaut it is too. Shorts!!!!! Shorts you say 😱😱😱😱you're the man who says he's a fair weather walker and you're wearing Shorts a month after me 🤣🤣🤣. You're a machine lad. Bloody machine. Ah Alan this is just what I needed to keep my spirits up and my mind focused on getting out ASAP. As you can imagine I'm eager to get out with you as soon as I can. Thanks for the mention. Much appreciated. Absolutely stunning day you had there mind. So much to see. Those mountains you captured beautifully 😍. You're doing some miles. Putting me to shame I have to say I hope I can keep up. The light shining on the mountains is truly incredible. So happy you got down unscathed that is one sketchy descent. Haha have you ever seen a northumbrian lass descend on her backside.....I'm a pro at that, or downing my poles and refusing to move 🤣🤣🤣. I feel there's a challenge coming when I go hiking with you.....so I'll be ready and looking forward to it 😉. Absolutely loved scenery and chat on this video. You never disappoint 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Good to see you are back and powered up, just watching the local news from Whooler and cannot believe that half the village still has no power 4 days after the storm. It was a great days hiking and the weather was insane, the decent was awful but typical me, do all the hard work, getting down without a scratch and then fall into a muddy bog as soon as I get back down to flat ground. Weather changing now mind, wet, cold and muddy is not fun, bring back the sun! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Wow what a day you had for this hike!😎👍. The lake district fells look just stunning in the sunshine, a perfect winter walking day, well apart from the slip, but happens to us all! I (Shell) always go on my bottom to get down slippery steep rocky sections, better to be safe than sorry! Some serious effort gone into this hike, thank you for taking us along Alan, take care, Shell and Pete

[@AmericasParks]

As you said at the beginning - it's very clear to me that you put your very best into the videos and it does show. That was a beautiful waterfall. Always good when you can shed the heavy coat. What views! Oh no, the man goes down in the mud!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yep, I came down an awful steep, wet and very rocky decent without a scratch, then as soon as I got back to flat ground, I fell into a wet and very muddy bog lol! Thanks very much for stopping by Randy and enjoy the weekend, cheers Alan

[@DestinationsChronicles]

OH WOW 😃The sun peeking under the clouds above the hills shot, WOWZA! You've got some great footage here!

So nice of you, really appreciate it, cheers Alan

[@davidburgess9058]

High Raise my hat to you Sergeant Metalman. Great video of the waterfall and Easedale Tarn looking stunning in the autumn sunshine. The views along the tops looked pretty amazing too. The way down looked a bit precarious to say the least. Good job you got back before dark. Could you imagine coming down there in the dark. Yikes! Good luck and have a great weekend. David

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, nice one and to be honest, it was a mare coming down that way, I should have got down the way I came up, lesson learned there alright. Amazing weather for November, shame it did not last! Thanks very much for watching David, cheers Alan

[@user-gm2uu2pj1q26]

In the video, you look really happy. I support your wonderful life with beautiful nature. Really wonderful scenery. 👍👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you very much, always nice when you visit and I was so happy on this hike, right up till the end, when I fell into a wet and muddy bog lol. Still, nothing could spoil a good days hiking, cheers Alan

[@delmiller4184]

I have such a lovely memory of magical Easedale Tarn. Your walk beyond the tarn looks amazing. Thanks for showing us Alan.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

What a start! The river behind you, the sun, and the waterfall. WOW! That lake setting in the mountains was like a scene from a movie. It was a clear, beautiful day with crazy nice views. You are lucky to have tshirt weather. I don't think I will have any more of those kinda days for a while now. Very glad you made it down safely. Slippery wet rocks = no bueno! 10.62 miles you are crushing it! What a great day in the UK mountains! ~RVA~

[@AlanMETALMAN]

We got snow and ice today lol but I made the most of that day, which was 3 weeks ago now and apart from the fall I had at the end, a perfect days hiking. Thanks so much for stopping by, always appreciate it, cheers Alan

Good afternoon Alan, and what a treat on this wet and windy weekend! This one is one our list, we have only ever admired Sour Milk Gil from affar, really great to see it in full force and beauty up close! ❤ Shame Emz couldn't make it, look forward to you too hitting the hills ⛰ knees normally have the opposite affect on people, not sure why the dog was lured lol! Meat pate? 🤔 🍖 Beautiful day for it Alan, smashing footage as always, colours really popping 😀 👌 🌞 What fantastic weather you had too, wow! Beautiful photos in the mix too 📸 😍 Wondered where the bog was going to creep up on you 🤔 🤣 😳 nothing wrong would a good faff Alan, what it's all about....just pack a head torch 🔦 🤗 Good bit of slouging, can't be helped some days! Looked like a trick climb down, well played making it in good time and safely 👍 Trev did a couple of hikes.....but he is a gluten for punishment lol sure there has been more too 😄 Lovely family memories Alan, well played, out next video ends in a similar fashion! Have a great evening, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺🧭

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching guys and I could not believe that in mid November I would be at 2.5 K and in shorts and a T Shirt, the weather was unreal. Yes, shame Emma got a last minute call to work but we will get out at some point, take care, cheers Alan

[@MonicaTVToronto]

I enjoyed watching your video till the end. I like the magnificent nature and terrain of your hiking routes. The views of the Lake are so amazing.👍Thank you so much for your sharing. Your YT friend in Toronto with full support. Have a great day 😊

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Soon be Christmas and to be honest, I have not been for almost 3 weeks myself, so we are both missing it. I hope your panto season goes well! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@JenniferLupine]

Lovely day Alan! Beautiful views all around, too bad the days are so much shorter now! I could feel the chill as the sun was going down. Too bad it was slippery and sketchy on those rocks going down. I would love to go hiking with you if we ever get over to the UK! 👍☀️☀️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Now that would be awesome, so I got my fingers crossed that you do get over here one day. Take care and thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@Barnyz]

Autumn makes everything look better especially with perfect light and conditions like that. As someone who has slipped over many times and gotten very muddy I also try and avoid steep descents when its been wet. Thanks for sharing another excellent video cheers from barnyz 👍👍👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I totally agree and was kicking myself on the way down, as I knew it was going to be tough. I did not expect a lot of the rock on the way down to be covered with water, which made it lethal. Just when I though I was down okay, I slipped into a muddy bog, typical lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@Barnyz]

@@AlanMETALMAN i fell in a muddy bog in Scotland once, got totally covered in gunge. My partner laughed for hours afterwards :)

[@KrizAkoni]

Stunning landscapes in this one! Careful on those slippy rocks…hopefully it was just a bit of mud.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thankfully it was but the funny thing was I managed to get the real steep, slippery and rocky decent and as soon as I was back on the flat, I fell lol. Thank you for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@Packsalot]

Awesome hike Alan. Too bad your meetup didn't work out. Still a great hike even with the slick treacherous decent. Got a little wet and muddy there. I had that happen to me before also. Driving home in my undies! LOL. Long day. Well done. Take care and have a great day.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Funny enough I got down the real steep, rocky and soaking wet decent and as soon as I hit the flat ground I fell, could not believe it lol! Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@PostcardAndAPint]

What incredible light you had to start. That first waterfall was so cool. The view fro. The top was epic and such a blue sky!! Incredible weather too! Loved it 🍻

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you so much, appreciate you watching and the weather was insane, could not believe it was mid November. I need more days like this in my life lol, cheers Alan

[@NicoleHikesalot]

The views were amazing. But yes wet condition is always a challenge and dark setting in early. I'm glad you got down safely by dark

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, me too, I was worried coming down at the path was swimming with water on top of wet rock and typically, just as I got down on the flat, I fell down in a bog lol. Thank you for watching Nicole, it really is appreciated, cheers Alan

[@alanglasgowbassist]

Another great video and walk Alan. I did this one last summer but included Tarn Crag too. It was when the weather was swelteringly hot. I had absolutely no energy and my legs were like lead when I got back to Grasmere! Probably the only time you will ever hear me ever saying it was “too hot”! Still remember driving back to my digs in Keswick in the evening and the temperature in my car was still in the 30s!!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Those hot summer days seem long gone now Alan, we got ice and snow outside today but a real nice walk, right up till I fell but one of the hazards of hill walking lol. Good of you to watch, cheers Alan

[@viral344]

Thank you so much, real nice of you, cheers Alan

[@TheOutdoorswithTonyNoble]

Man..that descent looked rough..I'll give that a miss! Another cracking day out...👍👍 - Cheers Alan - T🙂

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was awful Tony, very steep and mostly rock, which was swimming, so not pleasant at all to be honest. Pleased I got down in one piece but them typical of me, I fell into a bog on 'flat' ground! Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan

[@stevebuttery6757]

Hi Alan, another top video, really enjoyed it. Fantastic weather for you which gave stunning views and not an easy walk when you consider you are against the clock with it getting dark so early, great job. Always love watching your walks and you always make us chuckle a bit with your comedy. Keep it up mate.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks so much for watching Steve and a bit of a change in the weather today mind. I was so lucky with the weather then, I kept pinching myself that it was mid November, what a brilliant days hiking it was, cheers Alan

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Great Video Alan, Sour Milk Gill looked amazing as did Easedale Tarn. You had some good weather mate and thanks for sharing those views. You did make me laugh as well, but on serious note... coming down from High Tove in September I slipped on wet rock and did my back in. Had to go home a day early and was laid up for two weeks, so total empathy from me on your careful descent mate, it can be really dangerous. Alan I will always go walking again with you mate, I think I can recall at least 3 past adventures, but not if I have to get in your motor looking at the old chap 🤣 Hope you got the mud out of your Camo's. See you out there. Graham

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, yes, thankfully I found a blanket in the boot which covered my car seat, so I did not have to but Plan A into operation lol. I hope the back is on the mean, the rock on the way dawn was swimming with running water and awful to try and get down safely, especially with nobody else around either. Thanks very much for watching Graham, cheers Alan

[@LetsGoLiz]

Putting me to shame Alan with more lovely Lake District walks, mind you I'll never forget coming down that path at the end following my wild camp at Codale tarn 😯 Keep up the good work ATB 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The paths, which were mainly rock were swimming in water, so a nightmare to get down safely. Typical of me mind, just as I did eventually get down and back onto flat ground I bloody fell lol! Thanks for watching Phil, cheers Alan

[@anthonypayne1]

You had some grand weather there on your hike Alan, I've never seen Sour Milk Gill look so spectacular! I usually do the same fells but start in Borrowdale, either way, it's Lakeland at its best.👍👍👍

Really beautiful waterfall in the beginning! If you don't feel comfortable going downhill sliding on your but it's probably the best bet. Unfortunately you got wet doing it and I can only imagine you getting pulled over by the cops with no pants on 🤣🤣🤣. I've seen you hike with Kathy Fox 2 times! She's a brave one lol. Another nice video my friend thank you for sharing.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

You are right Eric but I actually filmed this 2 days before I did my second hike with Katy but put that video out first. It was a mare going down that way, the rock was swimming with water but thankfully, I got down in one piece. Funny enough, it was then, when I was back on the flat ground that I actually fell lol. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@LivingFree365]

Such a beautiful hike. Great start of the journey. I couldn't imagine seeing the police pull you over without ur kegs😂😂😂. I've been there before, Almost back to the truck, and lost my footing and got all muddy. You did cut that one close. It was very dark when the lights went out. Over here it gets dark at 1700 so the outing trips are getting shorter for now. Cheers, Shu

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Sorry to hear that Debbie and we both had the worse colds we have ever had when we came back from Scotland in September. Mrs Metalman is never off her feet but was totally wiped out for almost 2 weeks, then I got the same cold was was in bed for 5 days. I hope you feel better soon, so stop in bed and keep warm. Thanks so much for watching, take care, cheers Alan

Great video Alan. It’s not a walk I’ve done, except just up to Easedale Tarn so next time I’ll carry on up to High Raise. Definitely a full day out by the look of it and the views certainly make it more worth while! Cheers, Matt

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I really enjoyed it Matt, in fact too much, as it took me so long to get up there, as I was stopping all the time, just enjoying the day. So many options from Easedale Tarn and all of them good. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@BorderRambler]

Superb Alan the quality of the footage was outstanding, a perfect day to be in the hills . Slips and trips happen thankfully only a wet arse and covered in mud lol Tfs atb Dave

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, yes, that's all it was and a massive dent to my pride but would have been worse if is was coming down that wet rock, it was swimming all the way down, I was really bricking it and so pleased when I hit (literally) the flat ground. Thanks for watching Dave, cheers Alan

[@Merritt7278]

What a stunning day, I just love high raise as its one of my goto places from Pooley, now what I wanna know did you drive home without ya pants on ? 😆 🤣 Fantastic video Alan and I will look forward to the next one. All the best Marc.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thankfully, I had a blanket in the boot, which I used to cover my driving seat, so not worried about being pulled over lol! First visit to High Raise for me but what a 360 from there, amazing views and such a brilliant days hiking. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@Merritt7278]

@@AlanMETALMAN what i love about high raise is you can see all the main mountains on a clear day, even see Scafell, Great gable and a stunning view of sharpe edge on Helvellyn and then looking the other way Morecambe Bay. Stunning just stunning.

[@nigelharness9032]

hi Alan good mileage this time of year and all part of the adventure having a fall, cracking scenery again from the lakes, i should be up there before the end of the year, anyways have a great week nigel

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I hope you get the same weather I got Nigel, unbelievable for the time of year, bit of a change today mind. Still, fingers crossed for you and thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@adventureswithLK]

Great hike Alan. It looked like the perfect day for doing this hike. Glad you made it back down in one piece and only a muddy leg. I bet you sleep good that night.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

That was typical of me, getting down a nightmare decent unscathed and as soon as I was on the flat, fell over in a muddy bog lol! Thanks very much for watching Lance, cheers Alan

[@Garncec]

Stunning mate, great video! Thanks for sharing the route on the map, love it. Ive mapped the route. Amazing video and as always down to earth commentary that everyone loves. Well done bud!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you very much, nice of you to watch as well. It's a great route but once on the ridge the path is a bit him and miss, so just as well I had OS maps on my phone as well as the map version. Cheers Alan

[@Garncec]

@@AlanMETALMAN it did look abit rough. Will change it to stick to the main green route on the os maps. Thanks again for an honest review of a walk.

Fantastic videos buddy, very inspirational. I’m starting the Wainwright’s next weekend and you have provided an excellent insight into them, thanks and all the best pal.

Oh nice one and I hope you do them all! Real nice to hear you have been watching and getting some help in your preparation, fingers crossed you get the same great weather I got for this one too. Cheers Alan

[@54DegreesNorth]

Another great vid mate, I did the same route up the side of Sourmilk Gill when we did Jacks take upto the summit of Pavey Ark…. It’s a stiff climb up the side of the Gill. We was supposed to carry on and pick up the Sergeant but our legs were done after the rake so called it a day Great watch mate, I’ll defo be working my way through all your vids Big love team 54 🥾🏔❤️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching and hard to believe this was middle of November, the weather was unreal. Never done Jacks Rake before, always wanted too but maybe a bit passed it now lol, cheers Alan

[@54DegreesNorth]

@@AlanMETALMAN there’s no way that your passed it now, I would suggest waiting for the better weather but I’d do it with you if you wanted to give it a go 🥾🏔❤️

[@GENerationXplorers]

Wow, awesome video, we did these today on a YT collab with another wonderful Alan, unfortunately not the Metalman but the one from 54° degrees north, in our opinion the views from high raise are the best in lakeland. From there you can see all the main wainwrights in their best glory! ♥️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Oh brilliant, great lad Alan and real pleased you had such awesome weather to do them in too. Really looking forward to the video and as I remember it was November I did this walk and was down to a T Shirt and shorts the weather was so nice - shame a slipped and fell into a bog at the end😳. Cheers Alan

[@GENerationXplorers]

@@AlanMETALMAN wouldn’t like to do it in the rain Alan, definitely a summers day walk! Like you say, its bad enough in the summer! Definitely very boggy, but we all kept our pants on!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

@@GENerationXplorers - 🤣

[@billygoatfilms7531]

Beautiful walk Alan and some amazing scenery. Outstanding filming and I have to say your presentational skills have come on somewhat since our walk up Helvellyn. Not to say they were bad then, but now your the total consummate professional. Five Star Film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PS always pack a spare pair of boxers when out in the hills.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Mike and what a brilliant day that was, unbelievable weather and also unbelievable I fell on the flat and had to fall in the one bit of very wet and boggy ground that was around me at the time! Still, did not spoil the day and luckily I had a blanket in the boot which I used to cover the car seat on the way home - I was covered! Good of you to watch and I hope things are going well for you down where you are. Take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@greetb9330]

Great post Alan, just discovered this channel so look forward to reviewing your walks, grand part of the world we love the Lakes. all best and thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated. That was a cracking hike and unbelievable weather for mind November. I wet and muddy end to it mind but I still enjoyed it. Have a very Happy New Year, take care, cheers Alan

[@greetb9330]

@@AlanMETALMAN That path up to Skiddaw is deceptively long, grand views when you get up there, choppy if you get a windy day (I know Im posting this on the wrong clip!) Happy New Year to you too mate and thanks for the reply. All best.

[@Wanna.Wander]

Hey Alan💜your videos are awesome I tried using that but me a coffee app, didn’t work for me Look at that golden sunrise to start your days journey, gorgeous waterways and falls, just stellar views!! I appreciate you too💜cheers

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, it was not very user friendly I have to admit but got there in the end - just! I was blessed with the weather and views on this one but we got snow and ice now and and -4C (24F) temps so a big change in the weather. Thank you for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

nice day for it 👌 lovely sharp footage Alan 👍 & a bit winter sun on ya legs 😁

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes it was, could not believe it was mid November, it was a better day that some I had out in the summer lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

Alan you made my night ! I love waterfalls and this was so good. Enjoyed your banter and have subscribed as I want to see more ! New friends here from North Wales . See you soon, Anna & Alf

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for watching. Only been to North Wales once, when we climbed Snowdon about 5 years ago but really enjoyed it, so need to go back. Cheers Alan

[@ervinslens]

Amazing video man, 8:00 view is just breathtaking. Little jealous right now.😀😀

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and real nice of you to stop by. That was filmed in mid November and at one point I was down to shorts and a T Shirt - crazy weather, cheers Alan

[@DestinationEarth]

You know you're off to a great start with a set of falls like that! Yeah, that does look like it would be a hard path to follow - nothing really defined is there. Got to hate those short winter days - it gets challenging when it starts getting dark around 4pm. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when the cops come to pull you over without any pants!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, yes and thankfully I found a blanket in the boot of my car, which I used in the car seat, so I did not have to activate Plan A lol! Thank you so much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@HikeCamp]

That little push Alan produced some fine views... I think you pick the hard route just for the challenge...

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, you may be right Max and it sure was a challenge to get back down before darkness fell I can tell you. Great day out mind (apart from the fall) and I really appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@waterfallmadman]

A good start to the hike with a beautiful waterfall. That is what I like. I think you are like me, you go down the steep slippery sections without a problem and then you get to the flat section and you bite it on your ass. Lol.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Could not believe it, so steep and slippery on the way down and not an issue, as soon as I get on flat ground, over I go lol. Still, a fun day out. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@northeastfamilyadventures9186]

Nippy and wearing shorts... Writing this as we go, but my money's on you needing to wade in some water. ... ahh, guess not. Interesting dog story. Had to play it twice... must be some kind of British humour, went right over our heads. None of us could figure it. Some lovely views up in your fells. totally feel you on the t-shirt in November. I've had to strip down to a t-shirt at 0C on some of the tougher hikes we've done. I will pack layers, but don't usually get on much more than a sweatshirt even at -10C, if I'm moving. Need a jacket if we stop. Do you pack a headlamp incase you get caught out in the dark? It gets dark at half past 4 here as well this time of year, be closer to 4 in a couple more weeks. Nice muddy legs. I always feel like coming home dirty means the day was better than coming home mostly clean. Always appreciate the after hike bath just a bit more then as well.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, yes, throwing a ball is the obvious but it can also mean 'throwing a very posh party, where people get dressed up in their best clothes and finery' lol. The one thing I did not have (but do now) in my pack was a head torch, so real lucky I was real familiar with the trail back to the car, as it was pitch black when I did get there. We got snow and ice outside today and -4C (24F) temps so a big change in the weather. Thanks very much for watching guys, cheers Alan

[@BurtonOutdoors]

Hey Alan, what Go Pro do you use? So crisp and colourful on this viddy, beautiful scenery 😍 Another enjoyable video 📹 so jealous of your back garden 🤣😂not your lady garden 😁👍 Lee

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I still use the GoPro Hero 7 Black Lee, really comes into it's own in bright light and I edit in PowerDirector, where you can slightly improve the quality even further. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan
