My First Hike After Eye Surgery ⛰️

[@clivehutchby5035]

Shoulda taken that pic at the gap between Wren Crag and Long Band with that marvellous wall leading the eye to Blencathra - moral of the story: never plan to take the picture on the way back! Glad to see you're back on the fells, Henry.

[@scotty4418]

Great to see you back out after the op Henry and hope the recovery continues to go well. On a day we learned the news about the shocking destruction at Sycamore Gap, your beautiful images are a timely reminder as to why our environment needs to be cherished, appreciated and protected

[@RamblingOn]

The footage in this video is absolutely stunning. I assume you have got the new osmo action 4. Whatever it is, it is class. Yours is one of the few channels that I look forward to seeing a new video from each week. It was great to see you out and about after the surgery, and I look forward to seeing what your new photography camera is. Take care 🍀

[@DebbieHardingPastelTapas]

Henry, that was sure fun. Do you ever just take a quick snapshot to record a location that you may want to revisit? Early in the video you passed up a shot saying you would come back that way and get it, but then you did the loop. I was certainly happy to see the sights on the loop, but I just wondered if you might ever want to go back and get that photo? Also, I am so curious all the time with how far you walk on your expeditions. Would you consider tracking that, if you don’t already, and let us know? You provide such enjoyment. Thank you!

[@hjones451]

I was up at Hadrian's Wall last week - 'Sycamore Gap' was deserted in the morning sunlight - Never be able to re-live that moment now. Great to hear that the eye op went well as I assured you it would.

[@MarkRomine]

Glad that you are back to doing what you enjoy most.

[@kenhenley7599]

A cracking walk and a cracking video with some really beautiful photographs. Keep up the recovery.

[@G0FUW]

I had knee pain for ages until a new doc spotted I had developed fallen arches. A bit of support in one shoe levelled things up and the pain is no more. Nice loop walk in a lovely area. Thanks for sharing.

[@are_digital]

Great video fella, thanks for taking us along for the adventure! But from the moment you said "it is a gift" with the hand gesture, you turned into Boromir !! 😂 A speedy recovery to ya fella, all the best !

[@john.m.peterson]

I’ve spent the last 3 weeks in the Lake District (bucket list) and the Yorkshire Moors, it truly surpassed my wildest expectations, you’re soooo lucky to live in such a beautiful country Henry. Did have some trouble with the knees and ankles, especially downhill, but we’re not accustomed to hilly country in the Netherlands 😊 Hope to come over again soon, seen the fact that I purchased a gigantic amount of OS-maps 😅 Hope your eyes ánd your knee get better soon, greets from Holland, John! 👋🏼

[@tonyw3250]

I have travelled the world and now live in Australia, but the Lake District is one of the most Beautiful places on earth - thank you for reminding me

[@jbwilhelmi]

Beautiful!! Even the B roll has amazing color 😊

[@wellsyboy]

Is it me or does the colour in your videos suddenly look more vivid? Love it!

[@rdy3357]

So glad to be able to see through your eyes. Your enthusiasm and joy for Lake District always comes across.

[@scarcesense6449]

Love the extended walk and talk style of this one. The backgrounds in every shot were stunning. I have no idea how you didn't stop for 1200 photos. I'd have ended up going so slowly I'd have needed to take my tent and camp out overnight.

[@lizewers5962]

I love how you turned the camera around and added footage of the actual walk, i felt like i was walking with you. A lovely addition, to showing us the view once you were at the top or where you had stopped along the way. I live in Australia, so its wonderful to see a completely different vista. Thank you.

[@simonlewis7224]

As a new photographer (and poor one at that) you are helping me

[@pathogan4854]

Brilliant your back out and about some awesome scenery ! id probably have gone through 10 memory cards and as many batteries 😀As for the tarn name couldnt go wrong with Turners Tarn ! 😁😁 hopefully it wont be long b4 you can give Bono back his Glasses 😎

[@frankvrba6247]

The various terrain you went through today is really picturesque. The trees, the rocks, the views, outstanding. This is my favorite trail I've seen you take in the fells.

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

About your knee: I don't know if it's the same issue I've had, but it looked in the same area so might be. I've had tendonitis of my knee before, which was at the bottom end of my knee. Walking was ok, but going down anything steep would cause a very sharp pain, like a knife being stuck in. You can get some bands that go around underneath your knee that help a lot, but you're right that the problem itself is I think caused by an imbalance in the muscles of your leg, and seeing a physio would be the best idea. The bands are a lifesaver to keep being able to get out there though. I'm glad to see you out and about, and hope your eye heals quickly. Looked like a fantastic hike, and is definitely going on my list...only about 5 weeks until my partner and I are in the Lake District...can't wait! I'm keeping my fingers crossed we catch some of the autumn colour. Thanks for another fantastic video Henry!

[@ellyelzinga01]

Good to see you back out again! Glad the recovery is going well! 've been wondering for a while now, does it matter at all for you when the video is being watched? I don't always get to it the first day right away, does that matter at all for KZbin? It may have been a small hill you went on, but it's absolutely gorgeous there!

[@kqschwarz]

"I try to find the joy in everywhere that I go... it's an absolute gift.." You could say that about 1000 times, as it describes you perfectly. It is also the reason we all watch your videos. All the best.

[@susanjones119]

As the hymn goes "Green and pleasant Land". This walk hits that mark completely. Really enjoyed this and very pleased to see you back after your eye operation. Thank you again for a very interesting video.

[@PracticingPhotography]

Glad to see you back. This was a very colorful hike - enjoy your hikes as always. You should name the "puddle" and let the powers to be know what the name is. Maybe "Lake Henry". You know what you need to do for your IT Band - I deal with the same issue sometimes. I bet you will be back to this hike. There was so much to take photos of.

[@johndurham5629]

You, my friend, are an absolute delight and joy to all of us who follow you. I am so glad you are well and back, doing what you love and are so incredibly good at doing. Carry on!☺

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thank you so much!

[@RogSan1892]

Really enjoyed this vid Henry. It was like going for a walk with a mate rather than a photography adventure. As some who lives in SE London but loves the Lakes, it felt like a guided tour. Thank you

[@alanbudge]

Great to hear you're back on the mend. The reason I love your channel is that it is all about getting out there enjoying the countryside, often it seems more than the photography. When you're hiking up a fell chatting away, it sometimes feels like I'm there with you (without the effort) I also love the fact you don't keep banging on about gear and processing. There are thousands of videos that cover these subjects and not enough about the experience of being out there creating photographs and discussing the process. Having said that, I'm really curious about what your new camera is. Looking forward to your next video.

[@timschaeffer8874]

I share the joy of your official return. The awe-inspiring scenery, the photos, and you - all refreshing. We're looking forward to the new camera "reveal" in the next video!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thank you so much!

[@carlreid4161]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this one Henry a great walk through St John’s in the Vale.

[@georgewade4600]

Glad to see you back Henry. You show so much enthusiasm for photography and sharing your tips and experiance. It makes me want to spend more time out with the camera . Always watching and learning. Thank you .

[@janetturner7489]

I agree with that comment Andrew. Great to see Henry is well, God bless him. Great walk, views, tarns. Maybe the unnamed tarn we should call Henry's Tarn!

[@ansomeBob]

Now there's an idea!

[@ansomeBob]

Oh Henry, what an awesome video this week, you have proved beyond doubt that the Lake District has to be the jewel in the crown of the UK. It certainly was my favourite area to visit back when I was able to do those walks. My big sadness is not being able to see the colours as most people do, it must be mind-blowing. I'm loving the "walk and talk" format, not only do we get to hear your words of wisdom, but we get the full effect of the views as you stroll along, and as an added bonus, we get the "squelching through puddles" soundtrack. I very much like and appreciate it when you point out your route and name the various peaks, fells and tarns. There must be loads of us who can't do the walks now but can re-live them through your work - thanks bud.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@petersmitham8273]

Good to see a ‘proper’ landscape photographer not shying away from blue skies and white clouds….nicely done…🎉❤

[@sheilafoster-hancock5687]

Glad your operation went well and your back enjoying life. Love your blogs.

[@alanpinn2266]

Welcome back Henry - great to see you out again after your eye surgery! What a terrific video! I really, really like the walking, talking "live view" thru the Go-Pro on the selfie stick! It makes you feel like you're right there at your side. And we get to see so much more of what the hike and terrain is actually like. Please consider doing more in this style - it's a winner. Oh, and great images! Cheers mate!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks mate, I appreciate the feedback!!

[@badgerlandcouk]

Good to see you active and wandering the fells. You are right that Rigg is an old word for Ridge - common in the Lake District, but Rigg also appears well into Lancashire too. Whilst, I'm on about old words, Tewit is an old country word for Peewit (aka Lapwing or Green Plover) - the small wading bird that lives on boggy or marshy ground - very much like the area around Tewit tarn... Great images - great to see what you can produce on a decent walk.

[@peterbournephoto]

So pleased to see you back after your op Henry. We have been visiting the Lake District for over 40 years and although our high fell walking days are over, your videos are an inspiration.

[@andrewilachinski9427]

congrats on your recovery ! … you are a joy to the international photo community and wanna -bee adventurers! 😊

[@Ed-davies]

Oh man this was such a beautiful video! I love the feeling of excitement in this, if it’s any consolation I live in south wales (I’m from north wales) and I’ve not been up the mountains since the snow last December! Glad you’re out and about from your surgery 😎

[@robertwhitemoto]

At well more than 50 trips around the sun I would like to give you some encouragement regarding aging... but um... :) Those stone fences... wow, so much history in the UK. You walked past no less than 30 things I would have shot!

[@JamieBulloch1]

eye' eye' lad nice to see you again but even nicer for you to see better too, don't overdoo it though!!!

[@BigJim1961]

Henry Turner's Puddle.

[@steveross2786]

What About Turners Tarn rolls off the tongue

[@banditalley9592]

Was about to post the same! I'll second that!

[@UKAIRPORTNEWS]

And me....

[@steveross2786]

We should get a partition up as Henry has done for the lake district what wainwright did all those years ago he's so passionate and informative not only about the photography side but the area as well .

[@randyschwager2515]

Your images today are fantabulous! WOW! Keep up the gear work and thanks for taking me along!

[@kingsprout]

Great video Henry, pleased to hear your surgery went well. You asked for ideas on knee pain, after a problem two years ago, an Ostepopath recommended I use a foam roller (purchased in Decathlon) that I now use every day on the outside of my thighs. It was incredibly painful at first but with perseverance my knee is now pain free! Looking to hearing what your new camera is and why 😊

[@johnclevett3425]

Great to see you back Henry hope the recovery goes well. May i ask how long todays hike was? Lots of variety for photography really enjoyed the hike.

[@stevegreenfield6639]

Something is different with the vlogging equipment and I really like the perspective, have you changed something? Loved the hike, your enthusiasm is infectious! cheers.

[@AliasJimWirth]

Glad to see you out and about, and enjoying it. Some nice images to boot. Thanks for posting and for keeping your positive view of the craft and adventure. Really glad the eye is fine. Cheers, Henry.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks 👍

[@banditalley9592]

"I always tried to find the positive in everywhere I go" - sums up your channel in a nutshell Henry!

[@andrewstaples6076]

Turners tricky terrain transforms to tantalising triluminos theatre 😎

[@thankyouforhearingme]

Thanks!

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

[@barrystent3689]

Regarding the unnamed tarn ... surely its now Turners Tarn? 😊 Really enjoyable vlog Henry, as always. I hope the eye is healing well 👍

[@grahamallen3941]

Wonderful to see you back out in your environment Henry. Love the photos and what stunning landscapes. I know what you mean when you look at a certain place and say yes….I would like to see that covered in snow etc!! Take care dear friend. Graham .

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Glad to see you back again and your op went well Henry. Definitely beautiful scenery and worth another trip. You captured some really nice image's as usual. Look forward to the next one.

[@hansgoudriaan6574]

Henry, you forgot to take a photo at 30:15. Man that is beautiful

[@christophergrove4876]

🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Happy to see you out n about, Henry! I have similar sunglasses. One of the benefits is that amber cuts out blue rays which are more divergent than the other colours of the spectrum resulting in a sharper view without resorting to prescription sunglasses. Now... re landscape photography. I hate paths. Here, across the pond, so many people frown on you if you leave a path to take photos. NAME... "Turner Tarn"! Seeing as some of my cousins are Turners, I think this is a good choice! ;-)

[@darrencallaway4090]

That tea room is great and has a lot of food and drink based on an honesty box . Great place to go to escape the rain. Great video.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Great to know!

[@annepetry2340]

Happy you're back at it after your eye procedure! It's gratifying to see you still have your wonderful photographer's eye and that sense of adventure and appreciation that we enjoy so much.

[@trevorsneath4665]

Welcome back Henry, and congrats on the success of the op. I love you take on the landscapes you traverse. Photos are pretty good too.😀. Again, welcome back.

[@shanedavis9166]

Plant you flag Henry and claim "Turner Tarn" 😉

[@steveross2786]

So glad your op whent well mate my thoughts were with you mate Glad to have you back and as usual in top form . Take care mate

[@davidposaas7350]

What a hiking paradise! Such impressive landscapes! Beautiful, gorgeous area! Thanks so much for the tour!

[@mitchellmysliwiecphotography]

Glad the operation went well. Love how excited you are just to be there, and then how it boils over when you see something photo-worthy

[@neilwheatley1428]

Nice to see you back out and about in the lake District Henry after your eye operation. Im itching to get back out there after my hernia operation, I'm counting down the days. Hope you are enjoying your new camera, roll on autumn. 🍁🍂

[@granddadmark7639]

Brilliant to see you out and about after your operation and pleased your enthusiasm for landscapes hasn't dwindled 😃📷

[@rogersteele9890]

Awesome compositions Henry, the UK seems to be filled with endless photogenic landscapes, and you capture them well, plus you have the added bonus of not having to look over your shoulder for apex predators like we have in Western Canada, I enjoy your energy and videos, thank you.

[@karenbergmann209]

Beautiful area and wonderful images!

[@stumtb1198]

Great to see your recovery has gone well and you're back out in the Fells.

[@gillianandrews3095]

Absolutely loved today's hike. Such variety in the scenery.

[@johnlowe7097]

Great video Henry was up there a couple of weeks ago on holiday what a beautiful place for photography missing it al ready glad you have recovered from your eye surgery all the keep the videos coming really enjoy them 😊

[@pentax-paul.]

Just beautiful scenery , even though the light or the conditions were not perfect to get some real keeper shots , it's still a privilege and a joy to be out there among it . I really enjoy your videos - thank you . Missing the lake land fells now I've seen this one though ,,,,, I feel a road trip coming on .....

[@terrymartin4489]

Congratulations on being able to get back out there. I know post surgery, stamina was always my biggest issue. Slow and steady wins the race. Awesome video and awesome shots.

[@clivewitney3557]

Doing my walking through you at the moment, broke my knee last week and am now sitting with a brace on my leg which means sitting only with limited movement for at least 6 weeks. Watching photographers like yourself helps time pass. Keep it up😅

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Sorry to hear that

[@teresababer5310]

Good to have you back, Henry. Seems you’re doing well after your surgery - must mean it was a success 😊 These images and this place are absolutely stunning!!!

[@paulashcroft556]

Good to see you back Henry👍🏻👍🏻

[@keithboughey9787]

Cracking hike Henry! Thanks for sharing .

[@grahamclements-turner1148]

Happy to hear your surgery went well and it’s great to see you back doing the thing you love. Your enthusiasm lights our hearts.

[@terrymartin4489]

The best thing I have ever found about knee injuries and knee issues is to make sure they are well lubricated. This can be accomplished by doing rotational exercises before you do anything. The other thing is to stretch well before and after. I know these may seem to be simple things but they work. Also, make sure that you are using really good shoes with the proper arch support. Another no brainer but you would be surprised how many times those things will add to issues with the lower extremities joints. As a side note, running is not good for the knees. Walking gives you better exercise with less wear and tear on your joints.

[@lindaw5890]

Thanks for the tour, Henry - glad to see you've recovered so well from your surgery. What beautiful scenery - I'm sure I'd have been stopping for pictures every two feet! 🙂

[@colb3590]

Great choice choosing High Rigg to get you back into the swing of things Henry, I have walked it many times and never tire of it. Its a good option for anyone just starting out on their fellwalking journey and also the budding landscape photographer. Castlerigg stone circle is not far from Tewet Tarn and provides some foreground interest for anyone wanting to photograph Skiddaw or Blencathra.

[@gfh2300]

Thank you for the beautiful hike today. I'm glad that you are feeling better.❤

[@stephenthompson1998]

Welcome back Henry. That was an interesting walk with plenty of photo opportunities. Tewet is good for a sunset photo with sun casting it’s glow on old saddleback.

[@jcascroft]

Fantastic hike Henry, love that fell. ITBS stretch, stretch, stretch 😂 been there and know how painful it is!

[@gregdarroch1946]

Great to have you back after successful surgery. Are you using new equipment? Everything in your video seemed more detailed than before.

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Just using a different video camera 👍🏼

[@fiizzy3884]

Glad to see you back in the Lakes, Henry. I loved this video because of the varied landscape. Is there any chance you could give the coordinates where you parked your van? I'm going up there for the first time in a few weeks, and a small fell like this would be ideal for me (also in a small van like yours, but not fitted out yet)

[@johannesschroeder5117]

Hello Henry, thank you for taking us out after your recovery. It‘s always a pleasure to watch your vlogs and your way to photograph landscape. 💪👍

[@wimberends2165]

Good to see you back on it. Deal with your knees. You might be fine for now. As soon as you get older you pay the price.

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Wow, Terminator Turner! Glad to see you're back out there, great video as always.

[@richardhurst3368]

Another great video Henry, hope your recovery continues & get that knee looked at. I'm in my 70s & my injuries of old tend to come back and bite you, if you look after yourself and stay active you'll never run out of film.... 😂

[@nolawernicke9078]

Hello Henry, good to see you out and about again, wonderful photos! 😊

[@HenryTurnerphoto]

Many thanks!

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Well done Henry, what an amazing day and place for it. Glad your back out there enjoying the hike, despite that dicky knee. Thanks for sharing again Henry. Stay safe 🇦🇺 55/215 🎉

Really enjoyed this hike, Henry. Love following along on your your journey. And the glasses rock:)

[@mikebartow9415]

Good to see you out and about again! I hope everything went well with the eye and you have continued improvement in health. You are not getting old yet. I am 68 and have a wonky right knee. Ibuprofen seems to help.

[@mainline464]

Another excellent video and photos

[@williammorrison5739]

Top notch Henry, I always enjoy your videos👍

[@rafaelsmit4080]

Man, I’m happy to see you back in your natural habitat! Best good!

[@martingoff-jones2184]

Let’s campaign to get it called Tarn Henry!

[@alangauld6079]

I love St Johns in the Vale, we always drive up through it when heading home to Scotland from the Lakes. I enjoyed watching that ridge walk and it's small enough for my wife to come along. Nice images as always. Glad the op went well.

What a walk! And what a wonderful adventure you shared. Thanks.

[@peterfagley772]

Nice to see you back at it again Henry, hope your eyes continue to feel more comfortable as time moves forward.
