LAKE DISTRICT - THE MOSEDALE ROUND (Wasdale) 2021 revisit

Our second completion of this walk over the LAKE DISTRICT Mountains of PILLAR, SCOAT FELL, STEEPLE, RED PIKE (Wasdale) and YEWBARROW. This was our final day in the Lakes on our July 2021 trip where we see the Lake District Fells in all their glory in beautiful summer conditions.
A 9.5 Mile walk where PILLAR is the highest at 892 metres (2967 Feet) with a total ascent of 4800ft ( 1463 Metres). If you enjoy this, check out the first trip where we included the mighty KIRK FELL

Well that looked a cracking days walking. Definitely on the to do list and many thanks for posting.

[@jonniebee03]

Really enjoyed your video. Will be doing this walk in the spring

Pillar has a special place in my heart. It's a great mountain which can be brutal. The views from the peak on a nice day knock your socks off. It's great to see people come from 350 miles away to take in its beauty. You are so welcome! Love having you here and making these cracking videos for us all to enjoy. The only surprising thing about the video was hearing southerners moan about how hot it is up north :-) Must have been a rare day. Keep 'em coming!

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

🤣🤣🤣☀️😫 man it was really hot going. Pillar is special to me as well due to it being one of the first Fells I ever ascended. Been up three times since and it never disappoints especially as I have always had great weather and enjoyed those wonderful views you describe. I appreciate you are happy for me to keep enjoying them 🤣 and the team appreciate you watching our antics and taking time out to comment. Cheers

Happy memories! Must do it again. Superb vid and photos, Graham :-)

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thank you Michael

[@patriciarichards87]

Lovely video xx

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thank you Patricia, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Cracking video Graham. Weather looked superb, if not a bit too hot! Well done all, for doing all that in the heat! We did most of those fells at the end of June this year, so I know how tough it is. Cheers. Eddie.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thanks Eddie, not a touch on your wonderful 4k vids, but may trade in the brownie at the end of the year and try give you a run for your money. Love to Carole and all the best.

[@mikemcloughlin883]

Brilliant views, thanks, really enjoy these. Was on Steeple last week, and did Scoat Fell, Haycock and Caw Fell from Ennerdale, glorious

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

That is a great walk, Haycock is a lovely fell and does not get the press it deserves. Thanks for watching the vid Mike.

[@alanglasgowbassist]

Brilliant video Graham as always. Looks like a great walk. I was in the Lakes the same time as you shot this video and it was like walking in an oven!! Not surprised you skipped Yewbarrow.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

We were getting burnt to a chrisp Alan.

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Superbly filmed as ever and interesting commentary to go with it. Your knowledge of the Lakes is absolutely second to none.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Your very kind but, I think quiet a few know more, I am just grateful they put pen to paper so I could read it and quote it. Cheers John

[@Mudanzas]

Brilliant vid Graham. You certainly gave Bert a good workout that week on some fantastic walks. Loved that professional bit of editing when you were sitting on the chair, and the lyric ‘King for the day’ came up. Perfect timing😊 Enjoy next week back up there, hope the weather just a touch cooler for you. Atb👍🏻

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

I try my best Stuart lol, thanks for noticing my editing and timing, I work hard at it so nice when it is noticed. Thanks

[@trevorburton4429]

Thanks Graham. Really enjoyed the video. The views were a joy, achieved by you at the expense of a very hot day. Well done to you all for completing such a serious undertaking (even if you didn’t climb Yewbarrow this time).

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thank you, Trevor, we appreciate your kind words, it was an extremely hot day, and we were getting sun burnt and dehydrated. It was an easy decision to avoid Yewbarrow as we would have perished on top 🤣 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@ashleyjarnold]

What a hike and superb video and commentary. Respect to you all, and inspiring to many. Love all the creative touches too. Please keep doing this!! Regards, Ashley

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thank you Ashley that is very kind of you. really appreciate you watching our efforts and taking the time to comment us. We are on Facebook if interested, search: Fat Boys on Tour walking group. Thanks again

[@ashleyjarnold]

Yes,I've found your group and bit the join button. Thx

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Good to see you getting more great weather in the Lakes and leavening 'flat, boring, horrible Southern on Sea' lol. Superb views on Pillar and quite a drop down Wind Gap, don't know how Mary and Derek do it, both super fit. A lot of other people about despite the heat and the sun sure was shining on Red Pike. I think you made a dam sensible decision not to do Yewbarrow in that heat and I think I would have had more than my feet cooling off in the water! cheers Alan

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Lol the head went in as well Alan, Cheers

[@alanrobinson2229]

Interesting comment about Ennerdale. Our ancient ancestors would probably have seen a mountain range forested,before sheep came along.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Yeah it's the unnatural nature of the trees that did not go down well with Wainwright and many many others. Sacrificed beautiful views and country for trees grown just for house building etc

[@bryanjones1244]

Awesome as ever Graham!!

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thanks Brian very kind of you.

[@wainwrightrocks]

Fantastic again Graham!! Great trip this one. Did you not fancy the high level route to Pillar? One of my favourite routes and best view of Pillar Rock.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Thanks for watching once again. We did the round this time and have done Pillar quite a few times but not sure if I have done the 'High Level' route you mention, what is it ?

[@wainwrightrocks]

@@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos just after Looking Stead instead of heading straight up to the summit of Pillar there is a path that turns right and looks like it heads down. It in fact cuts across Pilar pass an amazing Cairn called Robinson Cairn and to pillar rock. Its the route climbers take to get there and start their climb. From the base of the rock its a cracking scramble that brings you out at the summit of Pillar. Absolutely fantastic views and drops into Ennerdale the entire way. A must do.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Got you, I have done that on my first walk up to Pillar, May 2005. We wild camped in Ennerdale and did the majority of the route you describe from there. The early video of that walk is off poor quality and not comprehensive but you might recognise some of scenery kzbin.info/www/bejne/jme7cqGsetdoosU

[@wainwrightrocks]

@@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos that's the one. Must of missed that video. I have them on most afternoons while "working from home" to get my fix when I look up from the laptop. I'm slightly obsessed with the lakes as you can probably tell. Thanks for replying and again thanks for posting.

[@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos]

Got picture of my very first Rucksack on Robinsons Cairn, back in 2005 and yesterday it finally got binned.
