Beautiful transition between your photograph on the top of Sour Howes and Wainwright's sketch.

Thanks Matt, glad that you enjoyed it.

What a lovely day you had for that walk. We enjoyed that thanks. 👍

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Ken, certainly a change in the weather since then, it's been snowing here this morning :/

[@VictorianStudio]

What a lovely walk and beautiful day! Thanks for taking us along.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you, yes, we were certainly lucky with the weather :)

Thank you Max

[@atrampinthehills.841]

nice video Andy....Coming up to Cumbria in June to start a second round of Wainwrights...

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks fro watching and commenting. Hopefully the weather will be kind to you, as it was for me in this film :)

[@JPKeslensky]

Thank you for sharing your filmed adventures. I have been watching them all and many more than once. Still trying to learn the customs and terminology which is new to me as an American viewer. The scenery is glorious. I have a special interest in stacked stone walls and stone structures so as a special request, I would really appreciate it if you can occasionally spend some time filming the different structures as you encounter them during a walk. I'm sure that they are plentiful and a common sight in your geography, but in the south-eastern part of the USA where I live they are almost nonexistent and therefore simply amazing in all their individual types and forms. Also I wound enjoy learning more of the history and customs associated with "Cans" which seem significant and not random on the Fells. Again thanks for all you share.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching and commenting J.P. I will take your suggestions on board and will try and feature a bit more information on cairns and drystone walls in films in the near future.

[@JPKeslensky]

Most appreciated. And thanks for clarifying the spelling for cairn. It helped me to start some research into them and their historical and cultural usage which is fascinating. There is so much to learn as the familiar in your part of the world is so unusual in mine. We have wonderful walking and hiking areas in Northern Georgia and Western North Carolina and amazing scenery but the history and culture of your area is such a treat to discover and uncover. Of course as an artist, I am intrigued with seeing your drawings and paints too.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

@@JPKeslensky Thank you, yes, we have some fascinating history in this part of the world. I will consider adding in some more information on the walls, cairns etc infuture films.

Making me envious Andy .Not too well known fells but not the most accessible path wise depending on which way you come from. We were going to do these from troutbeck but ended up going to yoke and ill bell. I would like to return and do these though.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks Steven. I have done them various ways but this route makes a nice variation.

[@philipwinter8729]

Thanks for that. A couple of tops that I've never visited though I must have been close when visiting the Kentmere valley. (Next stop a look on the OS maps.)

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thanks for watching Phillip. These two are often done as a pair and as a shorter walk. You can start either from Kentmere village or near Troutbeck Church, I just fancied a variation for this film (and to try something new myself).

Great video again Andy. Interesting segment about Sour Howes summit. 10 years since my visit and from memory got there from climbing over a stile at Garburn Road and Dubbs Lane junction and heading straight up the fell. I was on my way to Yorke so making a detour to bag Sour Howes. Satisfied at time I made the Wainwright summit but now have a bit of doubt. Think I’ll revisit following your route as the Garburn Road route is a bit of a slog.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you Eric. The Wainwright summit is much more eroded (and was 10 years ago) than any of the other tops even though the cairn isnt always in place. Well worth a revist though :)

[@melissaamyx2196]

I'm so in love with these videos! And Bailey is the perfect hiking buddy! Your paintings are so ethereal!

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

Thank you for that very kind comment.

[@toxictony4230]

Do you realise you've been out shone by Bailey for most of this feature?

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

haha, yes Tony, he does upstage me a fair bit but I don't mind that :)

[@jones1068]

26 minutes is a bit to long for me I rarely watch walking videos that long but I watched the 1st couple of minutes 😁.

[@AndyBeckTeesdale]

I appreciate your comment. Each to their own. I like to give a bit more info along the way :)
