I can see Blackpool from the Lake District: Ulverston Cumbria

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

The distance from the monument to Blackpool Tower is more like 26 miles.

[@nicolawright3359]

What a fabulous idea to find the highest point and show us Blackpool Tower! Hope you had a lovely holiday in the Lakes.

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephen. Thank you very much for going up that hill to show us the fantastic views including Blackpool tower from the top. A great video. Hope that you have a great weekend. Take care and all the best Mildred 👍 xxx

[@Fanriffic2020]

Awesome views from the top of that hill. I didn't know about that monument. When you adjusted the levels on your camera to show the Blackpool Tower, you could also see The Big One to the right hand side. Thanks for showing this Stephen. 👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@carolmurray5569]

Hi Stephen, great video, and yes i saw Blackpool tower when you zoomed in, awesome view👍👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it Carol.

[@Sean-ff9rh]

Loved this video Steve. It was absolutely spectacular. Could see the Blackpool tower. You were very brave to drive and walk up there. Certainly was very tight and high

[@judymcgovern8454]

Fabulous video Stephen. Thank you for taking time to do this during your holiday. Beautiful views and of course the tower xx

[@kevinmott6205]

Love Laurel and Hardy. Love Ulverston. Many thanks for this vlog. Loved it. I received your calendar today. Thanks Stephen. Top quality pictures, and may I say top quality produced product. 😊

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Great stuff.

[@LornaBurnett-h6c]

Beautiful place and great seeing Blackpool Tower zoomed in. The still would make a brilliant framed landscape picture.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Best of luck with everything on the channel keep up great work 👍👍👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 👍

[@SusanStanton-qt3nj]

Hi Stephen it was fantastic how you brought the Tower into focus,this country does have some lovely green spaces,you were in a lovely part of the country.Enjoy you hols

[@AnnGerrish]

Brilliant Museum - well worth a visit and the young man who works there what he doesn’t know about Laurel and Hardy isn’t worth knowing!!

[@tinniswood2577]

It certainly a test of fitness walking up there. Cracking view and with more favourable light Blackpool tower is very visible with the naked eye. You certainly picked a nice evening for it.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I’ve certainly had much clearer views of Blackpool from up there, but at least I managed to tease it out in the video.

[@streetlife8461]

Hi Stephen, I was really hoping you were going to take a piano up to the top of the hill like Laurel & Hardy did up those steps ! Lol 😂

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Haha, I have actually been to the real Music Box steps in Silverlake Los Angeles. It's not a very nice area these days.

[@streetlife8461]

I did see a programme or a you tube video about the Laurel and Hardy steps, it was quite interesting. Maybe you and the MacMaster could dress up as Laurel and Hardy and take a piano up the 199 steps at Whitby ? It would raise a lot for the charity, instead of you doing your calendars next year and it would keep you both fit after eating all that food you both consume lol 😂

[@richardward5386]

Nice getting out and about with lovely views, thanks Stephen 😊

[@martinwebb1681]

Thanks Stephen, the views of Ulverston were lovely from your viewing point, made even more spectacular by your choice of accompanying music. Could see the Blackpool tower in the mist. I have never been that far North on that side of the country, Lancaster is the furthest I have been, and up as far as Newcastle/Gateshead on the other side of the country.

[@alanguy-nj3vc]

Hi steve my friend what a loverly video thank's for sharing. I never thourt you could see blackpool tower from cumbria..learnd somethink new today. Thanks my friend.

[@georgesmellie8717]

Thanks again for another great vlog Stephen i hope you are well

[@bredaquirke7362]

Thanks for the great vlog Steve, I think it was from you that I have learned of the Sir John Barrow (Hoad) Monument. You were telling us about the views we can see from the Cliffs in Blackpool about 2 years ago. As I love lighthouses, I am fascinated with the lighthouse on a hill with Mountains in the background. Yes that's what I can see from Bispham when I have my binoculars on a clear day. I was amazed on the Sunday of the Air Show, (11 August 24), which was a very clear day, that I was able to see the Hoad Monument from North Pier. 😊 😊 But unfortunately for me I don't have a camera good enough to take fotos of Hoad Monument from Blackpool. 😢 Even though it's not a lighthouse it is designed to resemble one - the third Eddystone Lighthouse (Smeaton's Tower) and is a grade II listed building. It was erected to Sir John Barrow by his two sons. It is sometimes open to the public. Unfortunately after seeing your vlog Steve, I have no hope of seeing the Hoad Monument up close. If a fit person like you have struggled to climb that hill, there is no hope for me. 😢 It was a pity it was a bit hazy but I could just about see Blackpool Tower. Have you any better fotos of Blackpool Tower from the Hoad Monument from a previous visit? Do you have any fotos of the Hoad Monument from Blackpool? I must buy your calendar, but I am dissapointed that you are not doing the Starman calendar this year. Hope you enjoy your holiday xxx

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I do have pictured for both sides, but they are buried on my hard drive somewhere Brenda. I decided not to do another Starman calendar because I didn't sell enough last time, unfortunately. I will, however, consider selling my astronomy images as cards or similar.

[@bredaquirke7362]

@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool sorry to hear that you didn't sell enough Starman calendars Steve. Last year's calendar have lovely photos in it. Xxx

Oh, wow, Stephen. What an amazing video of this beautiful view. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@davidnm21]

Fantastic views from up the top where the monument is Stephen. You did well to focus in on Blackpool Tower through the haze. I always knew the town was the birthplace of Stan Laurel of Laurel & Hardy fame🙏🏻

[@earlthebossdude3161]

Well done Stephen you just can't help yourself brilliant

[@dianebutterflykisses7582]

Coming down I'm sure was easier. Thanks for the blog. I enjoyed. It so much seeing the countryside. Here in canada I don't get to see much.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Actually, coming down was quite scary because it was harder to stay on my feet on the steep bits.

[@bredaquirke7362]

Coming down a hill is usually harder especially if you have knee pain.

[@hazelmanship7516]

Great vlog Stephen, lovely weather too , thank you 😊x

Hi Stephen, I had the 'pleasure' of doing that walk myself some years ago, when I visited some friends of mine. Damn near put my lights out! Cracking views, but not as good as the ones you captured. Glad I did when I was able. Great video 😉

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks.

[@graemerigg4029]

There is a longer, less steep route up the other side of the hill. The monument was built by public subscription and you can climb the inside on open days when they fly a flag from the pole.
