Road trip through England's FINEST dales

[@lilbird4198]

Silly guy, you mean you really believe your viewers only show up specifically for you to hike the Wainrights? What about your scintillating waffling, your zen expertise at the wheel, your adorable humour, and the beautiful UK landscape? I'm grateful for you braving cold, sideways rain, high winds, wet roads, foot pain all to bring yet another stellar video to my screen. It's too cold and slippery here in Canada to venture out. Taking a road-trip through the UK countryside with you as company, is a Godsend. 😊💚🙏 Thank You, Glenn.

[@Rustymouse]

Well said, Glenn is the bees knees when it comes to his strolls up hill and down dale, even when he stops for his Mars Bar.

[@parasinthephilippines]

I was trying to decide more style then substance?

[@ross4071]

Just so you know mate, I came for the hiking videos and stayed because you’re a top bloke! I’m sure many others would say the same. Hope the recovery process is speedy and successful!

[@mrjiggs3761]

Yes I was about to say the same. Just nice to see thee out and about lad.

[@mrjiggs3761]

Also, I believe Paul Messner is looking for people to interview, maybe this would interest you?

[@IvetteR-i8h]

Hello Glenn. Stop apologizing. True fans will follow you on hikes, in your van, wherever! There are other channels that combine hiking, van camping with cooking in their videos. The most important thing is that you get better and back out there doing what you love. So don't stop making the videos. Love the little Finn on your van's dashboard ❤ Looking forward to your next video!

[@phillipseaman5493]

Agree 👍

[@sharonrojas9569]

I agree with you.

[@neilgubbins]

Spot on 👏🏻👏🏻

[@emmacannon2011]

You know, I love these ‘random rambling about and finding stuff’ videos. As much as I love the wainwright hikes, please make more of these videos too. 🙂 Thanks for another great one. xx

[@user-vj5op2sk7j]

As a proud yorkshireman, born in whafedale and who has hiked virtually every summit in the dales, its great to see it in the spotlight. The dales, the howgills and the lake district have their own unique awesomeness and can't really be compared.. I'm just pleased i live near them all and walk them almost weekly!! That continuous band from Skipton to Keswick is the finest in the world.

[@clairewalker2]

An hour and 15 mins of Yorkshire. Yes please 🙏🏻

[@danielcargill8019]

These little villages in the Yorkshires are incredible. New England has villages like these but with younger buildings. Keep on giving us tours of England, history, and pub scene is awesome.🇬🇧🇺🇲🍺

[@jonm4989]

Last May I walked the Dales Way, which follows the River Wharfe along the upper Wharedale valley (including Kettlewell). One of the evenings I stayed a little further up the valley in a pub called the White Lion in a very small village called Craye. My pal and I quickly became friends with a lovely American couple. The American lady seemed absolutely in love with the Yorkshire Dales and couldn’t have been more charming and polite about her holiday. I’m pleased you enjoy Glenn’s videos Daniel.

[@TudorSmith]

Never fear. As much as the Wainwright hikes are special, I really do love your walkabouts in villages and your escapades in the van. It all adds up to interesting and watchable content.

[@justinmc722]

Loving the video,we all get different things from your adventures and have found you in different ways. You won't please all of the people all of the time. If we enjoy it will keep watching. Don't change a thing the mix keeps it exciting. Love the van, the drone etc keep doing what your doing.😊

[@melaniehudson5190]

The Yorkshire Dales are where my heart is. I’m so pleased you went.

[@Zoqo]

Don’t worry mate, I enjoy all of your videos and to be honest I really enjoy the van/over night camping videos where you cook away in the van, keep the videos coming! The wainwright videos aren’t the only thing I tune in for! 👍👍

[@edgarplummer6750]

You should make more driving videos - your towns and villages are beautiful.

[@barbarawilliams5621]

Hello Glenn, Your friends in North Idaho across the pond, here…Although we enjoy the Wainwright videos, we really enjoy your “walk about videos” around England and north as well. We watch because we feel we are right there with you, and could sit and talk for hours with you! You have a lovely sense of humor, and when Finn is with you she adds to the fun. Do not worry about the delay in the Wainwright videos, just tuning in for a relaxing “chat” with you really blesses our souls. As for your ingrown toenail, OUCH! But when all is said and done you will be right back with the “ herdies” and deer, trekking up and down the hills, enjoying God’s creation. In the meantime please know that your fans watch these videos because of YOU and your great commentary…the mountains, sunsets and sunrises are just icing on the cake (As we say here in America) Take care of your toe and you will be back hiking the Wainwright’s again! Sincerely, Mike and Barbara

[@raymondporter2094]

Nice comment!

[@tamirew9247]

In my opinion, I love your hiking vids. I love how you show us your path with a red line on the map. I admire your knowledge about the areas you are in and your breathtaking photography. That being said, I love your road trippin’ content even more. It gives me a peek at your lighthearted personality and your very humorous wit. I still remember your beach road trip video and how you were so infatuated with those meat pies. The only two things that I miss about the hiking vids is, Finn of course, and your greetings to the sheep, that only you can say in that voice “hi herdies”.

[@seantulett917]

Another great video Glenn, can't beat a bit of van-age on a Sunday night! Stop apologising about the content, I watch because you're a top bloke, and your top videos, whatever the content. Get yourself all sorted, the mountains and hills will still be there when your fit and ready. Thanks for creating and sharing,🙏 Looking forward to the next ones. 👍

[@bennorton7593]

Don’t worry about it Glenn, we’ll all still be here waiting. I for one are now on my wainwright journey (75/214) thanks to you and your videos. I always use your routes to follow or even as a base to tinker with if I want to add on a few more fells. Yes, HTW is your channels bread and butter but maybe this period will give you some ideas on what to do once you’ve completed them all for the channel. You could always do some reviews over the Xmas period too. I bought a OMM chest pod ages ago thanks to seeing you with it and wow, it’s a game changer and I don’t think I can hike without it now! Keep being you Glenn, you’ve done fantastic with your channel and I’m always looking forward to the videos no matter what/where it is. I hope I cross paths with you one day in the fells. 👍

[@jh0071]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Love this sort of stuff Glenn, please do more. You have a great demeanour about you and your humility is always appreciated 👏

[@erinhenry9750]

Yes no apologies needed 😊 I fancy watching and listening to u no matter what ur great ❤from Michigan

[@bessofhardwick9311]

No need to apologise. I can only speak for myself, but although I started watching your channel because I wanted to see the scenery, I now watch it just as much because you and the doggie are always a nice, soothing show to watch. By this point in time, I'd happily tune in to watch you paint a shed, and I'm pretty sure a lot of　your regular viewers feel the same. Give your foot time to heal. Don't rush it just because you think you need to please us. :)

[@grahamtowler1761]

To see beautiful areas is always good and low lying walks in the Lake District are still great, may be difficult around Ambleside at the moment but it looks fantastic

[@nessday1821]

I actually love your van based vids. Love them all. Don’t apologise - everyone has times that require changes to “normal” plans. Keep the variety coming. Love your work 👍

[@GsySaxMan]

Only one word to describe this vid - MAGNIFICENT - Yorkshire truly is gods own county!!😀

[@flyingvisit2586]

Thank you for taking me back to the places I know so well, rain or shine it's a wonderful area. I have enjoyed every second. Thank you Glenn.

[@StephenPowell-s7t]

Enjoying the video, take it easy, your health is the most important thing. I'm lucky I get paid to work a train over Ribblehead Viaduct. It is a beautiful part of the world, and the scenery changes every day.

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Glenn it's ok if you can't make the climb,sometimes your body needs to take a break, you still bring us awesome video, and I enjoy watching them,like this one beautiful scenery the bridge and the sun shining through, stop beating yourself up, stay blessed and safe

[@maltmalt1667]

Don’t worry still love watching your adventures , Scafell will still be there , look after yourself and stop worrying, we will still be here 👍

[@donnagibbons7060]

Great video Glenn. So sorry to hear your toe is still giving you jip. Thank you for taking us with you through the Yorkshire Dales. Such a beautiful place. Love Malham and we were reminiscing over our Dales Way hike when you visited Kettlewell. If you could go back to Hawes please then that would be great. Take care and don't worry - we will still be watching your vids...they're great 👍

[@samwolf2539]

It's always an adventure with you so don't worry and you're right there's nothing like a van to chill in

[@carolinemason4210]

I think a lot of your fans and followers feel as i do in that we will enjoy your footage in any format. A bit like supporting a team/friends etc through any bad or difficult times. I love all your vids. And like the walk through vlogs great as they actually get you to see other aspects of where you visit. I think it helps local economy too. The camper vlogs are ace and use ful as we just bought a Moho! So less waffle from me (it is normally you 😂) and the essence of what i am banging on about is keep doing what you do and we will be with you xx

[@barhamboys2]

Do a van tour video of how you built your camper (bed, batteries,lights etc) while your out injured. I'm dying to do my own camper van and need inspiration from you 😁 all the best with the toe recovery you'll soon be back out on the mountains delivering content for us all.

[@Raffaz2006]

Love the cove, what impressed me more is that people actually climb up that face😮

[@ade3628]

I like these van videos just as much at the hiking ones

[@clairethompson3238]

We love your videos wherever they come from, the back of the van or walking the Wainrights. Avid subscribers. Take care. 🙏🙏❤️

[@andrewroland]

No problem Glenn, we can wait til after your op. Just imagine when it’s settled down and there’s no nail digging in your toe, you’ll be leaping over the Wainrights!

[@nebuchadnezzar916]

Right with you mate. Pubs, villages, van, Wainwrights, all good stuff.

[@62shello]

Doesn't matter where you're hiking/walking I'm sure most folk will watch, enjoy and support the channel mate. Great area to be in with plenty to offer.

[@bennyhill4228]

The driving clip and the music, excellent

[@miqsh70]

In the meantime can you make something like best hikes of 2023, or favorite places you went or something similar. Wish you all the best and good luck with your surgery.

[@sarahroberts8304]

Hi Glenn, my husband and I love all your videos not matter what you’re doing. You entertain and inspire us. You’re a fab guy and are brilliant to watch, so please don’t apologise for not providing us with ‘great’ videos, they’re all great (especially those with Finn). We both hope you recover quickly and get back to doing what you enjoy.

[@fredgreen9578]

Thanks Glenn. Continue to enjoy your videos a NB d look forward to your future exploits. As an elderly hiker my mental health really suffered when l got a toe problem 18months ago and feared l would never hike again. but now have recovered. Best wishes.

[@garycarradice8896]

Lovely video mate you don't have to be up fells and mountains all the time. just getting out into these wonderful places is an adventure. Swaledale is a beautiful place takes me back to doing the c2c walk. Now that's definitely something you should do mate. When one's toe is fixed 👍

[@TheRackdog]

Love your genuine character, i spend a lot of time up around Malham in my van, amazing scenery

[@andreanabeddoes2952]

Thanks for taking me along on the, drive. Beautiful scenery and great banter hope you're feeling better soon

[@stormskies3861]

If you could limp around Ambleside in the snow that’d be ace 😂 I live in west wales, no snow here 😢 I’d love to see some snowy vlogs 😊

[@troymadison7082]

I enjoy all your videos regardless of where they are or what you're doing. Speedy recovery my friend!

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Take care of yourself and don’t worry about about us we will be here your health is more important my friend ❤

[@northstarcreative]

Love swimming at Janet’s Foss. When it’s not in full flow it is a beautiful crystal clear pool. If only there was a signal down there I’d stop overnight. Love all your vids ❤

[@yusifmahmood86]

This is one of the best KZbin channels I've seen in a very long time. Thankyou

[@davemayers9342]

I love your videos up 't norf. Brings back happy memories of my youth hiking around the Lakes and Dales. I really miss that area and the road trips are just as fun as the mountain hikes. Thanks Glenn, keep it up bro.

[@jazclemmie]

I originally started watching you for your big hikes, epic mountains - don’t get me wrong I still love that content. However, I loved this just as much! Just watched this whole vid with a cup of tea in bed, I watch for you as as a person - your jokes, the way you story tell and describe things, your style of filming and editing. All of that is what is important, rather than the actual content! It’s nice to switch it up and know that I’m sure most of your viewers watch for you, rather than specifically wainwrights. Hope your toe heals soon 🦶

[@dancleasby151]

The Dales Way is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks for this!

[@liberatedlady4689]

Wow! Don’t worry about it Silly Man! You do you and what you have to to for you. We will be here and if there are those that leave your channel so be it. Someone else will come and take their place. Most definitely, would love to see you cooking or just doing anything really. Maybe when you are off, try to find a few cans of ‘Camp Dry’ to use on your clothes and whatnot. It will definitely help with keeping you dry on those super wet days. Definitely an a church lover and graveyard visitor myself, so much peace, usually free water in the warmer months, and free history to boot. Stay safe and warm. Keep us posted.

[@jwoodzman]

Removing the nail will be the best thing you will do. It takes about 8 to 10 weeks to heal what is the best thing I ever did; A nice warm salt bath and iodine every two days just to keep it clean… you’ll be back on those peaks and mountains by February 😊❤

[@emily7606]

I love watching videos like this for ideas on bad weather days! And people have watched far worse reality TV shows so I wouldn't worry😂

[@debskeith]

Just for info Glen, I love the van stuff….your road trips are my favourite videos….this is probably the third time I’ve watched this one along with your Scotland trip👍

[@MeandTedsadventures]

Great video, and it’s a sign, yourself and another wildcamper Good Bloke Outdoors who has put a video out this week from Malham so need to get out there! Thanks again for the videos, I’m a walker, photographer and wildcamper.

[@raymondporter2094]

What a cracking video! Since I live in North Yorkshire I have been to Malham, Kettlewell, Hawes & Ribblehead many times and camped at or very near the first three for weekends or (in the case of Kettlewell) for a couple of weeks several times over the years. Many memories of having a few pints at The Racehorses or the Blue Bell Inn at Kettlewell (& the Kings Head) before having a BBQ back at the van. We were at the Hawes Creamery/Dairy a couple of months ago - CANNOT BEAT Wensleydale Cheese! My wife reminded me that when camping relatively near at Sleningford (Wensleydale near West Tanfield) she and friends drove then walked to Malham Tarn. She was probably there at Sleningford Watermill for three weeks but on one of them I had to return to work Mon- Fri whilst she remained at camp with friends and I came back at the weekend. She telephoned me at work from the top of Malham Tarn with her legs dangling over the top! She was reminded of this as you were showing the pictures from the top. Actually this was not a good video but a GREAT ONE! Thanks.

[@davecooper5128]

Currently living in Orange County, California and your videos want me to come back home - I hear them calling

[@jordandoyle7699]

I found you for the one long form video you did in the van going through Scotland. I really enjoy the wainwright video, and you’ve got me wanting to get back out into nature and finding some higher grounds in Somerset, my favourite county! But out of these difficult circumstances for you, I feel like I might get more of what really kept me coming back, and that’s the van road trip videos! I’d love to see more gear reviews from you, so maybe this is the time - trousers, coats, mid & base layers etc. Keep it going sir! I’m invested in the random waffling and your knowledge of the area!

[@johntate5050]

17:00 Tip: Always reverse into your parking space so that if you have to make a hasty getaway, you're straight out. No reversing or turning required.

[@phillipseaman5493]

That was another great vid . It’s not just about the scenery , you make the vid with your banter . I bet your toe was hurting after your short walks !!!!. Enjoy your cheese gromit 😋

[@cressidaheath9252]

Hope that your foot is not giving you more gyp after scampering all the way across to Malham Cove! I'm glad to see the fabulous Yorkshire Dales getting some air time on your channel, as a Teesdale resident I definitely approve. However, my suggestion for a future Van Road Trip would be the truly beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. If you like church architecture then Lastingham has an ancient little church with a crypt fit for an Abbey, Goathland village has the steam railway and quite a few lovely waterfalls a limp away from a good pub or two, and Robin Hoods Bay on the coast is full of history and dramatic coastal scenery. And you are almost definitely likely to have wild and inclement weather anytime in December or January, so right up your street!

[@bennyhill4228]

Epic views of the Viaduct , thanks so much for bringing us along.

[@moretea8314]

Glad to see a hike around the Yorkshire Dales. I stayed in Deepdale near Dent recently and was stunned at the rugged beauty. The best view of Malham cove is from the valley (dale) level you get a very real sense of scale looking up at the cliff face. Great vlog as always. TTFN Simon of Suffolk.

[@adventuringacrossamerica3552]

Love watching your videos... this video was great, and I love your honesty.... I'll keep watching from America no matter what!

[@Rdw7856]

The forced variety is amazing. We love it! Adversity brings even greater adventure. All the best!!

[@clairethompson3238]

Yes please, a Hawes walkabout would be amazing 😍

[@ac9110]

Yes, thoroughly enjoyed that. You don't have to do anything outrageously exciting for me to enjoy your videos. It's more to do with the gentle vibe, the scenery and the music. As long as you keep those 3 things and you have so far, I'll be very happy to come along for the trip. You're a nice bloke to spend some time with.

[@lostintransit5822]

I like the van trips, the waffle and the camping more than the wainwrights

[@thewilksourlife631]

Hey Glen. What a great video this is, I for 1 do not mind watching these at all. Great to see different places and such fantastic road journeys. Also listening to you waffle on is funny. Keep em coming.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 🙌

[@alextownend7316]

Love your videos!!! You inspired us to explore the Lake District, our new favourite place on earth! We love a walk with a great pub at the end. Show us more pubs if you cant walk anywhere…….

[@joshualinforth9483]

I love the occasional van video i find them really relaxing and also good inspiration as im building my own van right now

[@trevorronson676]

Hi Glenn, van trips or hiking, they are all a great watch. Hope in January the toe is sorted finally and you're back to full fitness. Keep smiling.

[@catherineevans6674]

Loved this trip. We followed along on the map and now I know there's a cheese shop, well... Enjoy the van trips as well as the walking videos. Will definitely keep watching 😀

[@AI2024F]

I enjoyed it so much. Please do more exploring and traveling along with hiking.

[@bogliwan]

Pressure cookers are brilliant for chilli, bolognaise any kind of stew. The food comes out tender and richly flavoured every time in a fraction of the time of the oven or the hob. Braising steak with red wine sauce is my favourite thing to make

[@daydantzler5346]

I started watching your videos because I love hiking, but I’m not able to get out and enjoy the outdoors as much as I’d like. Watching your videos and other creators fills that void. Like many of your subscribers, I stayed because we love you, your personality, and insight. I look forward to the next chapter of van camping for the next few months.

[@martinwilliams6705]

M8 I love your hiking / wild camping stuff but if your down down at least you still have realy interesting content you cheer me up with your positive attitude from a fellow Yorkshire man keep it up 👍

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Well what a turn up! It’s a week off for me and son back home. I was inspired by your Scafell Pike video via Taylor Force. Heading on up there I found myself deciding not to add on Great End. I found myself marvelling at your stamina and fitness! Now, I watch many angling videos. I enjoy ones when the presenter ‘blanks’ (no fish). I’ve enjoyed this. Certainly better than England vs Denmark.

[@Graham-1888]

Btw i found you by pure accident (scottish van trip) and i was hooked, your such s nice guy with a lovely demeanour and extremely interesting and knowledgeable, i would love to sit and talk to you in a pub next to a roaring fire over 5,6 or 8 pints 😂 i think the vast majority of your subscribers/viewers are watching because of you in general, not because you do certain walks. Malham tarn has some cracking fishing btw 👌

[@nitsujnagorb7691]

Don't worry about the Wainrights , just get your foot / toenail sorted ! They will still be there when you're "limp free" mate ! I enjoy all your videos regardless of the settings - keep up the good work !

[@robertbush6652]

Hey never mind we get injuries rest up get it sorted. I don't mind where you go it nice to see today all the area I know like the back of my hand. Might get back there one day. cheer up you're up there.

[@davidthomas9079]

Loving these videos around the villages., this one is a cracker. Not just great hike in the Dales but some of the best cycling roads, I noticed that you passed a few cyclist on your route. Cycling is a great way to see the villages around the Dale but there are some brutal climbs..Buttertubs Pass!!! Keep up the village videos while you get your toe sorted i keep coming back to watch. Joy to watch Glenn.

[@timcroft5827]

I have the same toe issues. It does get better. I like the road trip stuff, I've recently moved from the North West and missing the lakes, but I am currently exploring Dorset and all its fantastic routes. It's good to spread your wings a bit. Keep up the videos, which is very inspiring and gives me loads of route ideas.

[@mccoysmedia]

Followed for the hiking stuff a while ago now and then saw you did photography and now a bit of van content….. win win, my three favourite things to do 👍🏻 Speedy recovery on that toe buddy!

[@andrewroland]

Visited Malham whilst staying at the pub in Kettlewell a couple of years ago. I had great weather but of course that meant tonnes of people. The Dales are great in any conditions. Nice vid as usual.

[@Tony-P489]

Don't worry or say sorry. All your videos are interesting, the exploring ones just as much as the hiking ones. Keep up the good work dude 👍

[@heidigoescamping3895]

I enjoy you'll exploration of the Wainwrights but I also enjoy your van trips and your waffle 😉 I took the seats out my Citroen Berlingo and turned it into a stealth camper, nowt fancy but I love being away in it. I'll still be watching your videos, I hope your toe doesn't give you too much trouble.

[@markp7745]

Don't know why you think you need to apologise for such an interesting video? Lovely change from The Lakes & Fells. We drove pretty much the same route as you did back in September. I've actually seen more of it on your video than when we drove it in our campervan, probably because i was driving and concentrating on not bumping into stone walls or Swaledale sheep! Oh and like yourself we went in the cheese factory shop, spent loads, the proceeded to eat the lot in the van for lunch! Keep these videos coming Glenn, we get to see some wonderful places and hopefully you're having a great time exploring.

[@markparsons7269]

Cracking video loved every minute. Health before anything else, appreciate you even getting out there and providing content regardless. Love sitting and chilling of an evening with your videos before bed, great way to switch off what life throws at us.

[@debskeith]

Love the road trip videos….great to see the van being used as a camper too👍

[@Dagrdottir]

Thanks for persevering through the pain to bring us yet another brilliant video. Really appreciated - recently been looking into my heritage and my grandfather came from Yorkshire (Scarborough) so great to see some of the places in that county that I haven't managed to visit. Also one of the parents of my other grandfather (maternal) came from...yes you've guessed it...Lake District! A county that I have always loved and regard as the most beautiful in the world, so pleased as punch. Hope the toe doesn't give you too much trouble.. Dad had the same thing and after his op it got better very quickly. I'd love you to go back to Hawes so we could have a good look round with you. Don't worry about not Hiking for a couple of months - you've got a good core of viewers and we aren't going anywhere.

[@lindafielding6733]

You really don’t need to keep apologising! Your videos are always worth watching, whether you are fell walking, strolling through villages or just relaxing around the van.

[@AndyBarker666]

Ahhh mate your in my playground now. Enjoy... The Dales is literally my back yard

[@colinboxall2692]

It’s not the Lakes for sure but still thoroughly enjoyed the “wafflidge” and the scenery of the Dales. I explored this area from a week’s stay in Settle back in late September. I had planned to head Hawes but got sidetracked and headed to Dent. Enjoyed the Yorkshire three peaks. Great walk (and) easy from Grassington to Kettlewell. We caught the community bus home outside the village store. There’s a cracking walk from Settle over to Malham Tarn and cove then bus back to Settle (with a pint or two in the Buck). Walks from reeth along to Gunnerside and Keld over the old mines (coast to coast) are very interesting. Take care. My youngest went thru similar toenail issues and it is excruciating how annoying and painful this is. Take and don’t worry about your followers we’ll still be here watching.

[@rosiebanks718]

Your videos are a joy to watch, be it walking the Wainwrights or touring the Yorkshire Dales. Keep doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration and when you are suffering with an injury you still have a happy and positive outlook, and still come up with great videos. As a Yorkshire lass you did us proud.

[@bennyhill4228]

Bloody hell it actually had a phone in it, Awesome 👍

[@malajusted1]

Camped at that car park above malham many times- cracking spot and free! Another decent watch

[@Stephentoutdooradventures]

Great video per usual, place I've never had a mooch about , yorkshire dales , hope you make a speedy recovery , I myself is currently out of action , had a grade 3 torn muscle behind my ribs and 8 months on haven't recovered yet , 12 weeks more recovery time unless surgery , look forward to seeing you get out to the lakes again , don't rush it though , in the meantime il watch yer van camps videos as that interests me to try that more myself

[@ashdowker4326]

all i say is you do whats best for you mate for me another great vlog keep doing them always good to see vlogs of my area
