Lake District Walks : Lingmoor

[@medievalladybird394]

My favourite view actually. I think Yours were the first videos of the Lakes I watched some three years ago. Now this just turned up in time for me to wish You a happy New Year.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lingmoor is one of those favourite walks that I keep going back to. Not high, but those views! Happy new year to you too.

[@andys1760]

Once again excellent video. Many thanks

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you.

[@elegantinfusions]

Stunning views

[@jonathancraigguides]

They are, and all the better because it is only a low fell, so easier to climb.

[@elegantinfusions]

That could be one for me then. Next year now by the looks of things before I can come up

[@kevinevans2022]

Great walk there brilliant views thank you 🤗🤗🤗

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. It is another of my all time favourites. Fairly short, not high, but the views are wonderful, and there are a number of return routes to make a very varied day out.

[@kevinevans2022]

@@jonathancraigguides great enjoyed it a lot

[@chellebelle276]

Amazing views 🤩🤩 well worth the effort

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. It was a very hot day, but the effort was definitley worth it.

[@dominiclester3232]

You are like an honorary Yorkshireman! Tell it like it is, with or without a deafening steam-hammer in the background... Super views, thanks.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. I think the bloke working the steam hammer was watching me, because every time I started to speak, he started to hammer!

This is a great feast for the eyes Jonathan. Really well put together and informative. Great filming. Please keep them coming .

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you David. Fear not, more are in the pipeline. I've not run out of walks to video, but time and the weather also play a part. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidkeel]

Thanks for realizing the need for good light to cheer us all up when we can't get to the Lakes.

[@steveostler]

Great video with great views. I’m watching it on a cold January night. Wishing I was there.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you Stephen. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've done it in January, on a gloriously sunny but very cold day, and thoroughly enjoyed it. On the filming day it was sweltering, despite it being September. At one point there was the risk of thunder, but it receded, and luckily the views were glorious.

[@steveostler]

It looked very hot on the film. I was lucky enough to work at High Close Youth Hostel over 20 years ago and this was one of my favourite walks. I’m hoping to walk it again later this year.

[@jonathancraigguides]

A wonderful place to work I should imagine @@steveostler. The gardens at High Close are a place I often walk through, especially in the springtime. I like to do a loop from Elterwater Common, along the river to Skelwith Bridge, and then up over Neum Crag and on up the road to the gardens, then, after a nice browse, walk up and over Elterwater Common. Delighful for a sunny afternoon, as I'm sure you know.

Very pretty views and I have to thank you for sharing. Slate roofs are very fetching. And the rock covered homes are amazing. I have to wonder why this never took root in the USA given the English who have colonized here. A sister, brother and a daughter and I rented such a house in Hawkshead near Ambleside several years ago. It was a very snug place to spend our visit. Great use of available materials.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. Until the seventeeth century most buildings in England were made of wood. In the Lake District good stone was commonplace and used for buildings, however, in other parts of England, whole cities were built from wood sourced from the local forests. Overcrowding and poor sanitary conditions led to fires being commonplace. Many people have heard of the Great Fire of London, but that was only one of many similar fires in towns all around England. New laws were introduced forcing builders to use fireproof materials, mainly stone or bricks made from dried clay. Areas with abundant stone, like the Lake District, became important as they were the reservoir for the raw materials for buildings constructed in the 18th C and beyond.

[@ChristianRouse]

Another well shot and informative video my friend, keep'em coming 👍🏻

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you Christian. I'll pick a cooler day for the next one.

[@andywhiteside16]

another stunning video excellently executed

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you Andy. I have to say I struggled a bit with the heat and my hay fever. I only get it near heather. But it came out fine.

[@DRAUSSENsein]

Great nature and scenery, great views, I like it, great hike! Greetings from Germany

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. It is one of my favourites, and there are several routes to choose from, each with different views.

[@davidhackwell]

As always a great little video. Its good seeing in film the paths and fells I've been over. keep on filming.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you David. I have to agree with you on that one. Enjoying a walk, then reliving it on screen is always good.

[@andys1760]

Really good informative video.Looking forward to watching more from you.

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. I'm looking forward to doing them. This one was really good to do, despite the hot weather.

[@MoandGillOutdoors]

you done it again eric another great video. always look forward to watching them . thank you for sharing atb mo

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you Mo. It was a bit hot on the day. I could have done with being on one of your beaches so I could jump in the sea and cool off. Had to make do with an evening splash in a stream.

[@MoandGillOutdoors]

just as good in my eyes

[@jonathancraigguides]

Trouble was, it only came up to my ankles.

[@evelyngrammar]

I love your sense of humor: "And all those who shouted hooray should be ashamed of themselves."

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. I had good early influences. When I was a teenager I was a big fan of the early movie stars. Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and in my opinion the best of them all, Buster Keaton. All these years later they still make me laugh out loud, even though I know the gag is coming and have seen it before.

[@kennybrydges9084]

Hi Eric... when you was naming the fella toward the end, when looking toward the Langdales... to the right in the distance is a little hill, ( like a nipple shape lol) would that be Sargants fell ? Thanks Eric kindest regards Kenny 🙏🏼

[@jonathancraigguides]

I think the one you mean is Sergeant Man. Nipple is a good description of it, as it appears a little to the right of the Langdale Pikes in those final scenes.

[@kennybrydges9084]

That’s the one Eric thx 👍🙏🏼

[@grahamtowler1761]

@@jonathancraigguides will you be doing new videos soon?

[@jonathancraigguides]

@@grahamtowler1761 Yes, later on in the spring and summer I am looking to add a few more miles to my video clock.

[@MrQuintonia]

OMG.... I can't believe the views you keep showing us.. This one is just jaw dropping.. I so want to do this one as well, how am I going to fit all these in, lol.. Thank you again, I know how much effort you make to do these videos and they are a credit to you..

[@jonathancraigguides]

Thank you. I really love doing them, and if the weather would behave, there would be another on the way this week, but I have had to postpone shooting until the end of the month. The views on Lingmoor are, I think, amongst the best in the Lake District. If you fancy an all day walk you can combine it with Side Pike, a real favourite of mine, and a walk I have done at least twice every year for the past 10 years, if not longer. Alternatively, you can follow an old quarry road to come out in Little Langdale, another terrific walk.

[@MrQuintonia]

jonathancraigguides I must note this one.. defo now on my list..
