Hiking BOWFELL & ESK PIKE | Lake District National Park

[@tommotomlinson3370]

What a cracking route that was Christine...glad the peak was clear for those super views. Thanks for taking us along with you....lovely looking brownie but that stone skimming needs some work though 😂

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Andrew, it’s one of my fave routes to date, the views were simply incredible throughout! Ahah agreed the stone skimming left much to be desired 🤣 thanks for watching again 😊

Brilliant video, planning on Lake District walk next week. Just did a 6 mile walk Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall up to Mark Sych , Cadair Berwyn. 😁. Was there something wrong with microphone 🎤? Looks like you had the whole valley to yourself 😉

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ranbir, lovely to hear you enjoyed this video too 😊 hope you enjoy the Lakes this week & weather is on your side! I’m yet to do Cadair Berwyn including Pistyll Rhaeadr but have been recommended it by friends, on the bucket list! Yes had a little nightmare with the mic for a few days due to strong winds, need to try some different options going forward, hopefully will start to get better in future videos I film 🤞🏻 all learning as I go! It was actually quite busy by midday at the Tarn but always quieter if start early 😄

The sun was out🎉 Made your smile bigger. Beautiful views and cake by the river, can't be bad. Blue sky and ☀️ The lake looked so good. Amazing views. Thanks for that.👋

[@shefreelyroams]

The sun was out for what felt like the first time this year! Was very happy about that 🌞😄 thanks Jamie - stunning part of the lakes this!

[@JPJMando]

Doing Bowfell in a couple of weeks. Love the Langdale valley. Great episode........more please 👏👏

[@shefreelyroams]

Oh exciting, hope you enjoy, it’s an incredible summit for 360 views! pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you 🫶🏻

[@sashamiche3569]

Fabulous visuals Christine! I appreciated your inclusion of the lovely soft piano piece- which worked so well to create contrast! Now the weather's improving I shall be giving my Salomon's a spin! Sasha 🌈

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Sasha, pleased you enjoyed that music section 🫶🏻 I hope you manage to enjoy some lovely Spring weather soon and make the most of the longer days 🌞

[@ervinslens]

Such a lovely scenery my friend, so nicely put together! Views are stunning here!

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Ervin! Stunning landscape, glad you enjoyed the video 😊

[@andrewfox7861]

Blue sky and what is that bright thing up there, not seen it for ages 😂, what scenery, stunning

[@shefreelyroams]

Haha I know, felt strange to feel sunshine on the face again after so long! Not complaining though, long may that continue 😊🌞

[@videocloset5278]

Amazing vlog. Brilliant capture. Great colours 😊😮

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you - lovely to hear you enjoyed the video 😊

[@62shello]

Fabulous hike with great views. Thanks for sharing 👏

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you 😊 it’s a great circular day hike, amazing views throughout!

[@fog360]

Beautiful area and what an enjoyable climb , you definitely had the best weather, another fantastic video.

[@shefreelyroams]

One of my favourite areas in the lakes & yes finally got lucky with the weather! Thanks Foggy, lovely to hear you enjoyed this one 😊

[@tonypilki3]

Its years since I did that exact same route Christine and definately one of my favourites to date! Stunning views for miles and miles and the ascent of Esk Pike was a belting little scramble. Angle Tarn the most perfect spot for your now legendary cake haha. Didnt want to leave Bowfell summit as the views were to die for. Well done Christine and thanks for taking us along with you. Brought back super memories and maybe Ill get to do it again at some point. All The Best 🙂

[@shefreelyroams]

Agreed, one of my new favourites to date too, just simply incredible views throughout the route! And Bowfell is incredible for fell spotting ⛰️ I actually found the climb up to Rossett Pike the way I ascended tougher than Esk Pike but definitely a nice little scramble up to Esk! Ahah can’t be having a day out in the mountains without a beautiful cake stop! Thanks Tony, lovely to hear it brought back memories & fingers crossed you can do it again some time soon 😊

[@mundex125bieszczady]

Incredible image quality, breathtaking views. I regret not being able to go to the mountains when the weather was so beautiful lately

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you, lovely to hear you enjoyed the video 😊🫶🏻 oh no, don’t be too hard on yourself, plenty of sunny days to enjoy this spring & summer still I’m sure!

[@JIMcLauchlan]

Great video and absolutely stunning place and the scenery is amazing ❤

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you 🫶🏻 the Langdale valley is stunning & one of my faves in the Lakes!

[@richardborley7326]

Stunning, thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Richard - it's one of my favourite walks in the Lakes to date!

[@HikingFamilyMan]

It has to be my favourite Valley in the Lakes, beautiful video. Looked like you had perfect conditions for your hike.

[@shefreelyroams]

Mine too & yes got lucky with the weather, beautiful day for it 🙌🏻 thanks for watching 😊

[@matts_hiking_adventures]

Beautiful views 😍. Looks like you had a great and chilly time on the fells that day!

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Matt - it’s a beautiful route & was definitely chilly up on the summits, was very grateful to have some sunshine at last! 🙂

[@matts_hiking_adventures]

@shefreelyroams I know right! It does make a big difference being in and seeing the sun! I've had enough of the rain now! I'm hoping to get back to the lakes again soon!

[@shefreelyroams]

@@matts_hiking_adventures couldn't agree more, especially after the long stormy winter we've had this year! Hope you enjoyed your last trip and can get back there soon 🙂

[@gberish602]

Hi Christine, Not mentioned but a lovely looking pool at about 2:30, a tad on the cold side I suspect even for you. Cake before 3 minutes in, suppose its important to have something to soak up the coffee ☕️ Boy did that next bit look steep, good job you didn't have a camera to keep going back for. Looked quite a way to go 🚶‍♀️ in half an hour of light. Obviously you made it back OK. Cheers Graham

[@shefreelyroams]

Hi Graham 😊 very much agree, beautiful looking pool too! The climb up to Rossett Pike was a cracker, probably tougher going than the following two summits! Definitely needed the coffee and cake for that section! Yes made it back just in time for complete darkness & dinner at the New Dungeon Ghyll 😋 thanks for the continued support, appreciate it 🫶🏻

[@samjones6546]

We are heading to the Lakes in September...really goping for good weather to get some great walks in. Lovely video.

[@shefreelyroams]

Fingers crossed for you! The Lakes are beautiful in September with all the autumn colours - hope you enjoy & thanks Sam 😊

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

[@shefreelyroams]

Thank you Khurshid 😊

[@niclrig]

Stunning video. I too love the Langdale Valley, it's mesmerising. Can I please ask what trousers are you wearing in this video? Thank you 😊

[@shefreelyroams]

Thanks Nicola, it's one of my fave valleys in the lakes, so beautiful! Sure, in this video I am wearing the Fjallraven Keb Curved Trousers, super flexible fit & my alternative for leggings on days I need a bit more protection from the wind! I try and link all the gear I wear in videos in the description for future reference 😊

[@A-K_Rambler]

A Treat for you!

[@shefreelyroams]

That’s very kind of you - thank you so much! 🫶🏻😊
