Love all your videos but the scenery this time was particularly stunning. This hike is going on my to-do list!! Thank you 🙂

Hi Neil. Absolutely fantastic walk, what a lovely day you had. A long time since I was up Wetherlam, need to get back up there. Thanks so much for sharing your day. All the best Dave

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thanks, Dave. Wetherlam is often an outlier, isn't it, but always a good day's walk. Hope you enjoy revisiting!

[@terrycollins5429]

Another good one Neal!!

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Many thanks, Kevin! All the best

[@nicmarlow6388]

excellent content! every time we watch one of your videos, it's another one to add to our list for when we're back up there! :)

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it - it's a great walk, and highly recommended! Take care!

[@carolfitton2007]

Great video 👍

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you!

[@martinkingston1498]

Absolutely wonderful film making. Thankyou for all the effort you put in to making this. You have just gotten a new subscriber sir!

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated. All the best

[@richardborley7326]

Oh how wonderful. You must have filmed that 3 days after I had done the reverse of that route to complete my Wainwright round on Wetherlam on a similarly beautiful day but without the wind. Thanks for sharing, lovely memory for my wife and I . Hope your ankle was OK . 👌👏🙏🙏🙏

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thanks, Richard - what a coincidence! All the best

[@runtothetrails]

Yet another professionally produced film. Excellent editing. Realy enjoyed watching this film about Wetherlam. Only regret is not bagging Wetherlam when we came of the band 4 years ago. Thanks.😊 0:23

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you very much! The hills are always there for next time!

[@russellhomans2173]

Another great film. You can never beat a good Eric Morecombe gag but have you ever undertaken a poll to see how many of your loyal viewers know who he was. Lets hope you introduce a whole new generation to the comedy genius he was.

[@Steve-gb5dl]

Another great video. Thanks for the effort you put in to bring us such good content. I have completed the coniston fells this month also. I split them over 2 walks and got nothing but clag and wind on the tops. You have got lucky with the weather and took in some great views.

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thanks, Steve. The good weather I had this time made up for the clag-bound top of Great Gable, in August!

[@davidburgess9058]

Fabulous view from Black Sails. So much so I need to get up there and see it for myself. Wonderful video with amazing views along the way. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting. I was up there last week going over Barrow, Outerside and Stile End. The weather was spot on for hiking. PS Hope your ankle is okay!

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

It's an underrated fell (and ridge walk) so I'd strongly recommend it! All the best

[@budvarone]

Another lovely hike in The Lakes! I'm not familiar with the area around Coniston, but hopefully that'll change soon. Hope your ankle isn't too painful and you recover quickly!

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you - lots of lovely walks around there, so worth a visit! The ankle is still on the mend!

[@RockStar67]

Superb loved every bit of that...the filming use of the drone the OS map stuff all brilliantly informative with a chunk drama and great music...great route done it a few times and also filmed it a few weeks back but never via the mines so there now on our to do list...Just found your channel from a comment on my own channel....well done buddy stay safe up there and watch them ankles ATVB (new Sub) Andy and The ROCK STAR ⭐

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Cheers! Subscribed back - see you on the fells!

[@RockStar67]

Definitely all the best bud 👍🏻🙏🏻

[@frannypeony2076]

Now I’m wondering how many bloopers have I missed 🤨 Hope the ankle has popped back into place 🕺🏼

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Quite a few of the recent films have bloopers, if you look for them!

[@clairegreenlea7658]

Wonderful views on a spectacular day! You know, when you say, come on then, to me it feels like you know that I am there 100% in spirit. If you have time, what kind of pies are in Conniston?

[@csec99TV]

Brilliant video Neil, thank you!

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@andrewjohnston9115]

I am constantly impressed with the quality of video you are presenting and the excellent commentary, So a couple of questions if you don't mind, what video equipment and editing software do you use, and do you have a script/storyboard for the commentary?

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you! Currently, most of the filming is on a GroPro Hero 11, with a media mod which improves the sound recording hugely. Some of the earlier films were partially shot with a Sony A650, hefty lens and gimble, but it's very heavy and not 100% weather-proof, and the GoPro allows for those Time Warp moving timelapse shots. A few shots are using a iPhone 11Pro, and the drone stuff is a Mavic Air 2. I edit with Final Cut Pro X, and use ColorFinale for the colour grading. In terms of "script," it's mostly improvised, but I try to do a lot of research before starting the walk, both on the route and hills, but also some local history. Thanks again, and hope that's helpful/interesting! All the best

[@Bladesmobile]

Shortly after this was shot, it started to rain and didn’t stop till late April 2024 😂

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Winter, this year, is expected to end in around late June, for a week, before the commencement of autumn.

[@Bladesmobile]

😂😂😂 please no

[@lindseyburke-tomlinson4463]

This looks like a lovely walk (shamelessly copies route down to use in the future..😁..), looks like you had great weather for it. How long do you reckon it took?

[@LakeDistrictFilms]

Thank you! Probably took about 6 hours, but we did a lot of faffing about, so it might be more of a 5 hour walk, in reality! It’s a lovely route - hope you enjoy it!
