Lake District Walks | Orrest Head, Gummer's How & Birch Fell | Wainwright's Outlying Fells & Birkett

[@Muddipaws1308]

Did this few months ago, my friend was staying in Windermere and I met her there. Went to the top of Orrest Head, nice views but just too busy. Same day did Wansfell Pike, really enjoyed that one

We did Wansfell a few months ago and that was too busy as well. Thanks for watching and dropping us a comment.

My wife said she met you on glasson moss last week.

[@TonysTrails]

Hi Karl. Yes, we did meet. First time we’ve actually met someone who watches our videos. Glasson Moss is one of our regular walks. We live just round the corner. Thanks for watching our vids. Hope you continue to enjoy them.

Nice landscapes, even if a bit boggy and impenetrable in places. Did you get your rain jacket back? Near the end you were getting soaked without it.

[@TonysTrails]

Thanks Cathy. Yes, I got the jacket back. I didn’t want to risk tearing it on barbed wire. We got caught in a shower near the end, but we were almost back at the car and it didn’t last too long.

Thanks for sharing. With regards to the bracken, is there a problem with Ticks most of the summer months? So much bracken about, must be an issue. Thanks again.

[@TonysTrails]

Hi Sally. Yes, ticks, and their associated Lyme disease, are something always to be aware of and body checks should always be done, especially if you’ve been wearing shorts. Don’t want to tempt fate, but I’ve only ever had two. Charlie’s had quite a few, but his flea treatment also kills ticks.
