Your videos are always so uplifting. You are exactly where you need to be in life. Not joining the rat race but being in the mountains with fresh air in your lungs. Thank you for sharing this on your platform and inspiring us. I will be hitting the Lakes more this year myself.

This summer we are going South to North but this has inspired me to walk West to East in 2025. Love it. Thank you.

I always found that the right hand path up Tongue Gill was more pleasant than the direct route up the Tongue. Nice waterfall close ups near the top.

You are very lucky you got the weather. 99 % it’s cloudy at the very least !

[@niclrig]

Hi Alex, new subscriber here. Just watched your Lake District traverse, it was fantastic. Really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you so much! Glad you’re enjoying the videos, really appreciate it! 😊👍

As soon as I saw the notification I clicked, been waiting for Part 2, I defo find that I need way more food energy doing big walks than when I'm doing my usual walks.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you! Yes, I underestimated how much food I should be eating, hard to keep on top of it!

[@burrianaUK]

Great videos Alex, and some strong mileage! We never think about YHA for camping. I will do now! 👍🏼🙂

[@jazclemmie]

Love these videos! Could you do a video taking us through how you plan your route & how you follow it - without getting lost! This is the one thing that massively stops me going out to places like this solo and would love some guidance!

[@isabellehinman6566]

Beautiful video again with so much enthusiasm and great filming. You got me close to tears hearing about your Mum but I am sure she is keeping an eye on you and must be so proud of you. Thank you for the enjoyment you give to your viewers.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you that’s very kind of you to say!! Really means a lot! 😊

[@adamgraney5817]

Another great video, doing a similar day to this on coast to coast (minus Helvellyn) in a few weeks, can't wait!

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Amazing!! Hope you have an awesome time doing the C2C, really wish I could’ve carried on to Robin Hoods Bay on this trip! Cheers 😊

[@Giostrasse03]

Absolutely wonderful. Take a bow, Alex. Love The Lakes so very much. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

[@wendyburge7027]

Well done you Alex. My husband and I just love The Lakes have been holidaying there every year for about 16 years. It is the most beautiful place in the world. In fact we nearly relocated and moved there just a few weeks ago when we sold our house but we would miss all our grandchildren too much who all live down south with us close by. Maybe someday we will get to live there and enjoy the mountain walking every day. Your mum would of been very proud of you I am sure as I would if you were my son. Take care.

Wow , what a stunning walk , thanks for inspiring an oldish man to get out into the wilderness. We want more adventures. 👍

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Plenty more on the way soon 😊

[@juliekirk4003]

Hi Alex " mountain goat", another great video, keep on trekking, looking forward to your next adventure. Remember, when you're in the mountains your wealth is not in your pocket. !! Told you we would see you before you saw us.😊

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you guys! So lovely to meet you both the other day, it really brightened my day up that did!! Hope you both manage to get out on that wild camp soon! Thanks again, take care 😊

[@email3265]

Outstanding challenge well done and such great views

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Great video Alex thanks for sharing 👍.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊👍

[@declanperry4819]

Thanks for the amazing videos. Had a week off work this week, and your content inspired me to tackle Snowdon, Cader Idris, and Grindsbrook Clough/Kinder Scout. Now can't wait to go to the lakes and explore!🙂

[@anna__bella_k]

Brilliant! Beautifully filmed and loved the honest, yet positive commentary ☺️💚

[@outdoorsummiteer399]

Such a young lad with passion and enthusiasm, good luck ,keep it up the way you're going, you will make it big on KZbin

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you that’s very kind!! 😊👍

[@simonmundy5387]

Brilliant matey! As ever, wonderful scenery in the Lakes. So glad you don't spend time telling us what kit you've got! Keep doing what you're doing Alex! All good wishes, Simon in Somerset.

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much Simon!! I try not to go too deep into all of that on these videos, would much rather show you all the views and do some separate kit videos! Cheers 👍

[@petercollins7848]

Another fabulous video Alex! You are bringing so much pleasure to so many people who are watching this. I am going to the Patterdale area in September - an area I haven’t visited yet, so looking forward to that. I won’t be doing 20 mile days though, that’s for ‘mountain goats’ like you. 😄 (must chase down those white chocolate bars you mentioned).

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you so much Peter!! Hope you have an amazing time in Patterdale, you’ll be spoilt for choice with routes to do from there. The Eastern Fells are some of my favourite. Definitely recommend the Cliff Bars, they kept me going for the 4 days!! Thanks again for all the support Peter, take care 😊👍

[@philpoole5670]

Lovely scenery again and well documented about the area… keep the vlogs coming 👍

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@maxfuhri5227]

Amazing adventure you had there Alex! The sun was shining the whole time throughout your hike as your mum was following your footsteps. Keep up the great work and look forwards to your next adventure!

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much Max, means a lot!! 😊👍

[@richarddixon1838]

Absolutely superb Alex. The 2 best vlogs I’ve watched on the Lake District. Loved it! Your enthusiasm and passion for the outdoors really shine through. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you so much for the kind words, that really means a lot!! 😊👍

[@ervinslens]

This was documented brilliantly bud, opening shots and music are just stunning!👏👏

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you very much! 😊👍

[@nicmarlow6388]

amazing Alex, just superb. 👌🏻 We have missed you, hope you're ok! Really love your content and your happy friendly face beaming through the picture. The poorly stomach could have been due to the heat (a lot of people get it on big runs if it's warm) so maybe something to keep an eye out for if it happens again. Look forward to seeing what you've got up to next

[@alexcripps.outdoors]

Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you!! Had a very busy couple of months hence the delay but back to normal uploads again very soon! Yes I think the heat defo had a part to play, lucky it happened right at the end! Thanks again for the kind words, it really means a lot! 😊

[@nicmarlow6388]

@@alexcripps.outdoors ahhh yay, glad you're okay, hope the business has calmed down so you can start to enjoy the wonderful outdoors again. :) you're very welcome, the content you post is so wholesome and I just love your vids. x

[@giga13-km8hh]

Hi @alex.cribbs, Can you please post a link to the full route you did? Thanks

[@ravbuddy]

Hey Alex lovely video series - can I ask how you navigated?

[@JMJC1]

Can anyone tell me the route he took from Borrowdale to Grasmere please, in particular the valley at 5.05 and 5.21. Thanks.

[@christopherpickles7541]

Up Greenup Gill from Stonethwaite. Valley going down looks like Far Easedale. The most direct route from Borrowdale to Grasmere.

[@JMJC1]

@@christopherpickles7541 that's brilliant, thank you so much.
