[@shaunwilliamson9193]

Such a beautiful picture I hope I win it would look incredible in my living room.

[@shaunwilliamson9193]

I am left until the end, I'm not sure of a favourite I really like them all but it really depends on the season as they're really lovely in different lights and weather.

[@2785Luke]

You’re our Sunday night tradition now. Cuppa, biscuits and a Black Crag vlog! Definitely prefer this to the football 🙄.

[@joshzimmerman527]

These English mountains are gorgeous. A far cry from the mountains we have In Pennsylvania. But they are just as beautiful.

[@DD-lc5ts]

The active map, with proposed route at the start of the video is a great feature.

[@oddhominem]

Far and away the best walking videos I've ever come across. Well informed with an affable, friendly and enthusiastic demeanour. You have a knack of making it feel as if I'm doing the walk with you. Great stuff 👍

[@janton61]

I watch each and everyone of your videos from start to finish. The pauses and small breaks to take in all the beauty is what makes them special. Don't change a thing. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@richardmoyse872]

Brilliant video 👍🏻 you've inspired me to get back up to the lakes and put some more ticks on my bucket list!! looking forward to watching all the rest!

[@justaguy9451]

I would LOVE to see you climb carrauntoohil.

[@angry-prol]

it's mad how much effort, talent and positive energy goes into these videos.

[@juliesecker9405]

You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for all the walks you have taken the time to show us. The stone paths, the herdies, the views, and that smell. This all makes up this wonderful part of the uk. I hope we can all treasure this place.

[@IAmTheOnlyMrDaryl]

I love going from Dungeon Ghyll through the valley

[@louishiggins8881]

In my "yoof" I walked the high fells, now in my 70s I limit myself to the likes of Wansfell, Scout Crag, or even Wray Castle to Hawkshead and back 😁. Walking the Lakeland fells is like life, you have to put in the effort, the rewards (or pint) will be all the sweeter for it - even if you have to put up with the occasional long trudge (I remember them well) 😂. Looking forward to your next season.

[@JohnButler-iq8rl]

This chap modest funny and ultra informative 😊.

[@DanDruff66]

First climbed the Pike via the corridor route in 1976 and have done it maybe fifteen times since, once with my two young lads thirty years ago, still got their certificates from Edmondson's farm. Been up from five different start points, Corridor route is definitely the best, but avoid in heavy mist unless very experienced,

[@robinsilvester5395]

Absolutely superb once again and I truly don’t think there has ever been a better series of walking vlogs ever and certainly not your Wainwright collection.Your Vlogs are superb and an inspiration and I am actually honoured to be a Patreon. Thankyou so much. Kind regards Robin

[@BlackCrag]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you and thanks for joining the Clan. Without you and the other Clan members I wouldn't be able to do this at all 🙏

[@roy.p.pollard]

Brilliant video - 'The point of the journey is not to arrive'

[@caru547]

Wow! What a journey! Fell upon this video and so pleased I did! ⛰️

[@lesguersten7252]

Beautiful Film. Looking to do the Pike next weekend. What is the fastest route up there - just want to tick that box & move on, job done.

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Almost 50 years since I was last at Scafell Pike I must go back, great one to end the series on for sure.

[@kieronfreeman5865]

I went up Scafel Pike from Langdale via Bow Fell, returning to Langdale via the Corridor Route. I've really enjoyed this video as on my walk visibility was about 2.5 inches (obviously a bit of an exaggeration). But it was great to see through your lens what I couldn't see with my own eyes.

[@ChrisSmith-di7un]

It’s a wonderful route. The first part of the walk really makes you feel your in the land that time forgot.

[@TheCheshireWanderer]

What a fantastic video. How I hadn't found your channel earlier.

[@frecklesforties]

Always watch to the end, find your videos so beautiful and relaxing 😊

[@frenchy_hikes_the_lakes]

Watched till the very end, despite the technical issues. Loved the whole season. The Blea Tarn, Lingmoor Fell, Side Pike video was my particular favourite. Such a great walk! Thanks for sharing.

[@ioregan]

I've been round the Wainwrights once, and now looking for alternative routes for as many as possible for the second circuit. Your videos are WAAYYY the best that I've seen for showing and explaining the routes you take, thank you so much. (They're also a really really nice way to spend a rainy evening after work, so that you for that too 😀)

[@simgramps6417]

Don't ask to choose a favourite video, they are all amazing in there own right. Looking forward to season 5 and the Northern Fells, they are my favourites. Have an awesome wee break and see you soon. From Stephen and Lorraine in Scottish Borders

[@theenvisionary]

A friend and I came down the corridor route and down that waterfall bit towards Seathwaite. It was certainly more sketchy going down those rocks near the waterfall, but seems nice heading the opposite direction with the waterfall in view all the time.

[@gaylinlyons6534]

One day later. I am still here and love the walks!!! This one was amazing!!! Thank you so much! I have thoroughly enjoyed being with you. Enjoy your break! - Gaylin, Ontario Canada

[@stephenhendry8731]

I have watched many of your videos and I love the style. You show a map of the route and make the walk very interesting including the detail and approach to the summit. It is not only about the summit but the" walk in". If any viewers fast forward they could be missing out. Keep it up. Finally I love your photography. Cheers Steve

[@john8451]

Great video of one of the classic routes around Scafell Pike! 👍

[@ukhiking]

Really enjoying your channel and your enthusiasm for the fells. I make videos of my walks for the family, just so they know what I get up to alone on the mountains, and I'd like to include in them map fly-overs as you do in your videos. But my search for the software tools to be able to do this have thus far got me nowhere; I've played around with Google Earth (even the studio version) and imported gpx files of my walks but I just can't replicate the quality of what you do in your videos. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Steve

[@MarkoCoomo]

Time for me to return to the Lakes I think. Been too painful for a few years, but miss it like mad .. despite having moved to Scotland. Thanks for videos and inspiration!!

[@Mefistophelees]

Great video, Awesome scenery, This is the first of yours I've seen, I'll see more.

[@Geordiewildcamper]

Very professional video, beautiful pictures, very informative, and I love your enthusiasm 🙏👍. As a side note, The Yew Tree pub at Seatoller has reopened, thanks to the guys at Honister. All the best 👍

[@richardswaby6339]

Good to know. Thanks.

[@ParadiseStreet]

Watching from Costa Rica, wishing I lived there. Great videos, love it when people are natural and naturally funny, without trying. I watch your videos, Grizzly Gaz and Life’s too short simply for that reason 👌🏼

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

Still here! 😁 superb. Wasn’t keen on the bad step lol hate boulder fields but loved the video 😍👍

[@ianscothern7496]

Nice route, I normally -like everyone- go from Wasdale Head, this looks much quieter, much more scenic, will definitely try it . Great video

[@stephenthompson1998]

What a finale to end the season, think this one topped the series imho. Fantastic scenery. My old knees are happy that you have done the walk for me! Thank you. S

[@juliel7522]

Remember this like it was yesterday ❤

[@flyingvisit2]

A return visit to one of my favourite Vlogs. The scramble up towards the impressive Taylors gill force is so beautiful. Piers gill looks deep and dangerous. You have the best picnic sights ever! An understandable rush away from the crowds, just a bit too busy. Your photo of Great Gable is stunning. A great end to the series, thank you so much Glenn. 🥰

[@paulryanuk]

That descent down to Stockley Bridge goes on for ever and ever! 😭

[@richardpearson5036]

I'm still here glen, end to end. I have no particular favourite, I love em all, thank you buddy.

[@nbb6609]

I hope to do this soon. I’m just recovering from a muscular strain following the hike up Snowdon. Great video

[@CraigToddBrickwork]

Glenn, just came across your channel, reached out on insta too. Love your content mate, a really great watch & a lot to learn. Thank you mate 🙂

[@nickh3580]

Thanks for that, a great memory for me. I did the Corridour Route in 1963 and again in 2021. The two main changes are the erosion of the path and changes in gear! Weather the same! Much appreciated.

[@richardjeal6902]

So glad you posted this video ,it brought back memories of when I did the exact same route, minus the detour to Lingmel and Great End. The day my wife and I walked it 15 years ago we got caught up in low cloud and couldn't enjoy the views from the top . It only cleared when we got sight of Sprinkling Tarn . Pleased to see the views that you got. Thank you.

[@grahamtowler1761]

So many brilliant walks ,the best for me around the Windermere to Grasmere and surrounding areas are best for selfish reasons simply because it's the area I know best

[@WanderingDutch]

Just about to do this route in 2 weeks. Good video.

[@MountainsAndMore]

Defo interested in the guff....so many videos that show the.f. forward version I would love to get in those falls on your way up... I've always used Stockleigh Bridge and up the main path, but i may just try yours on my next one 💪👍

[@andyWalks22]

Tail end Charlie here 😄 late to watch this video but just watched through it all as I’m planning on following this route next week, looks interesting. Love the videos as always #blackClan

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Glen, absolutely brilliant superb route and superb views to finish the season off. Thank you for taking us along with you. All the best Dave

[@jonm4989]

I watched it to the end Glen. It’s a fantastic walk and one I’ve done a couple of times. I’m looking forward to what you’ll bring us over the next few weeks. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I walked the Herriot Way through the Dales; we were both surprised how much we enjoyed it. The stretch along the River Swale between Keld and Reeth is gorgeous. Anyway keep up the good work and also what’s the name of the bar you visited at the end of the vid?

[@markprice470]

Absolutely incredible... I almost feel like getting in my car and driving up and doing the walk right now. Asa photographer some of those view are just epic!

[@charlotteminshull6686]

Im new to your channel enjoying so far . I also love photographing nature especially at twilight. Your inspiring me ive lived in Canada for 10 years but im thinking of moving back to England i miss the weather lol Haha believe it or not . In Ontario its so hot humid in summer you cant get out to hiking !!!! Lol

[@mk1aquatic739]

The corridor route has been on my must do list for a couple of years now. Shows it off superbly in this video, looks so much more interesting than plodding up scafell pike from Wasdale. Views down those gullies off Lingmell remind me of looking down the gullies off the summit of ben Nevis north face, on a smaller scale.

[@AngeMorley]

You are too hard on yourself Glenn ( like when you realised the mic was off ). Us die hards would stick around even if you sat in a cloud for an hour with no sound or visibility😂🙌. Another belter of a video. I’ve done Scafell Pike but not the corridor route. I wondered whether it would be as good as the hype, its dayam pretty aint it!! I too an like you, 5 hour walk turns into 10 hrs if the light is good. I just stand there with my jaw on the floor on my walks lol. Im a member of the clan so will watch on Patreon too but like to support you here also. Thank you so much again for all your efforts and showing me a little slice of your world. Sundays are my fave day when I get a notification for your vids. Cheers🎉. Ange😃

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Ange..... Just posting the video onto Patreon right now 😊

[@jeffnewton4103]

Great video. If you think Scafell Pike is busy you should try Snowdon !!

[@mariumrajah]

Lovely video enjoyed watching Thank you brother 🫡

[@davesexton3908]

Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you . Subscribed. Thinking of doing this route in may. How long does it take?

[@neilpearson3386]

Incredible Season of Videos, Beautiful Scenery all Round, Natures Perfection, and Brilliant Ending. Where’s The Spinoffs Taking Us, Highlands or Lowlands

[@djsharpey]

Just discovered your account, subscribed as you make the walks very engaging and informative. The video is long enough to properly understand what to expect and the filming and editing is a great balance of content. We're off to the Lakes again in a week, can't wait!

[@WalterSon-ur2jj]

Loved the video mate! I am doing this exact route next week and seriously cannot wait! Your videos are very well put together, visually stunning and educational! Happy trekking 😉✌️

[@lee-v5z6l]

Brilliant video Glen, dare I say your finest yet. Done Scafell Pike a few times in my day but never by the corridor route, this seems a must. Thanks again

[@neilfuboa2251]

Hi Glen, did the same route 2 years ago past Taylorgill Force loved it. Met thick cloud at Sty Head and beyond to Scafell Pike. Still a fantastic route. Nice to see it in full light. Lucky beggar.

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Hi Glenn, I've been waiting for this one. And it did not disappoint! Mega. I've not walked up there so was quite excited to see it , very much my kind if walk. And yes I watched and always watch all the way through. Really difficult to put a finger on my favourite so far, all good. Thankyou sir.

[@LorraineMiles-pr7bx]

My weekly dose of wonderment. Scafell is definitely my fave for views (and waffelage).❤

[@gladiator22666]

Hellooooo….can still hear you 👍 All the vids are great , keeps me going until I can get back up there .

[@Johnlancaster]

Great episode. I’ve done the corridor a number of times and your camera made it look terrifying! I glad the Mrs never watched it with me 😂

[@sharonrojas9569]

Once more I salute you for the beautiful videos you make. Thank you for raising my spirits. My birthday is in July, which makes me a Cancerian--a water sign. There were SO MANY beautiful water falls in this episode! I will look forward to and count the days until your next season begins.

[@samuellewis4042]

This is top banana, I really enjoyed being taken along for the trip, I am doing scafell pike this weekend and had just come across your videos. You sir have another subscriber. Take care bud

[@snapshotdev]

Looked like a brutal one man 😮 Also unlucky with Mark, howling 😂😂

[@SamB100]

Loving the videos mate. Great work. Love the photography, the part where you do the views from the summit and listening to you chattering as you walk along. Brilliant. Im just gradually working through all the uploads

[@lindafielding6733]

Fantastic video as always. I really appreciate you showing exactly what the paths are like and where a slight scramble is required. As I’ve got older I’ve developed vertigo and a fear of scree so it’s helpful to see exactly which routes I could manage and which might be beyond me.

[@niclrig]

So excited for this 😃

[@ruthmcchesney4957]

Your best video, Glen. Your very best. In my opinion. Loved it. The views from Lingmell are stunning. Many many thanks. Xx

[@TurdyFla]

I spoke to you on your way down to Esk Hause. I told you I watched your videos. 😊

[@gm4wha]

I watch all your videos and i enjoy them all. This one is probably my favourite because it includes Scafell Pike and the route you took was amazing. Look forward to you doing the Northern fells and the routes you will take.

[@JezGates]

Slight Side & Sca Fell episode favourite walk this series, which is why I copied it, then did your Harter Fell walk the next day. Thanks Glenn. Definitely going to do this one next 👍🏻. As you’re always saying we’re there with you, so technically that means I’ll have done them twice 😅.

[@summitbagger1378]

Great video. I think this one and Dow crag were probably the best from this series. Looking forward to the next one.

[@michaelhanly8575]

Great, yet again 😃

[@declanmetcalfe1752]

I remember doing the corridor route after watching you do it last time. Tried to follow your route off OS maps, parked at Seathwaite Farm, but ended up coming up over Base Brown and making my own route down the other side of Green Gable towards Styhead Tarn!! Dont ask me how. Anyway, after doing the rest of the route successfully, I remember getting the point after Ruddy Gill where you drop into Seathwaite and thinking the same. "Why is the car not getting any closer!" 😫😂 brilliant video as usual. Thank you!!

[@janehodgett959]

I am still here wow! Such a beautiful wild walk ……I love all the walks you’ve done so can’t think of a favourite……hehe! 👌✨🌸🤩

[@tonyjoe5707]

Another great video, thanks for sharing this beauty. We did the route in reverse in bonkers heat 🥵 and when you looked back at Broad Crag col and said "soul crushing view" that was my thoughts exactly 😫. Especially after having trudged across what seemed like miles of boulder fields, then seeing the drop down.

[@paulcooper9187]

Superb, thanks Glen. Brings back so many memories. For me, the best ones were Harter Fell and this one. Northern Fells with a few exceptions will be very different for certain.

[@russellsprout2223]

Nowadays, my knees are screaming for mercy whilst just watching. Brilliant memories though. What was the black lens please, Glenn? Atb.

[@westwest8090]

Great route of which I think is stunning. Just done this route Saturday 1.30am adventure and we loved it. Your vlogs are a joy to watch. Big up Glen!

[@callme_guy]

was the route i took on my first time as i wanted the hardest walk up, no people had it to myself until i joined the main path towards the end !!!!!! fantastic video, liked and subbed

[@AndrewPaulK80]

Really enjoyed that series Glen……appreciate you putting the effort into making these videos. Your videos are a must watch on a Sunday evening (or Monday this week for me). See you finished with a pint at the Marymount hotel again, one of my favourite spots. Thanks pal 🙏

[@dt8ustotten285]

Have no clue how you did that hike in the winter time!! Excellent hike, rough terrain but AMAZING views!! Love all of your videos and hikes.. but I guess the wild camps are my fave followed by a wild camp with Super Finn LOL Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!

[@andrewsimmons-n3e]

Got internet working . Cracking that . Stopping at Mary mount next weekend to swim in the lakes with friends and hopeful going to see and pick a new puppy whilst we are there to start new adventures 🐶

[@ppaul3560]

Great route. I’ve done loads of times but always the other way round. Age and knackered knees mean I’m unlikely to get a chance to do it this way. But almost feel like I have through the video. 👍👍

[@AndyBarker666]

Still here pal right to the end but yeah i agree the Corridor is amazing but it's my second fave route up. My fave is up Piers Ghyll, Not in the Ghyll it's self as that is a death trap but up the left flank with a lovely little scramble where the ghyll dog legs back to the left

[@peterwillis4239]

Wow, great season. Amazing walks, finished with the icing on the cake, scafell. Thanks so much. May watch that one again. 👍

[@bordersphotography-astroco2825]

Top work Glen, I did this route last September. No Lingmell or Great End , 8 hrs. Hard going across the boulder fields and ruddy gill. Happy memories, thanks John.

[@judywarner539]

Fabulous yet again. I’ve loved all of this series (and all other series too 😄). I’ve done the walk up to Sty Head Tarn & Sprinkling Tarn which I absolutely loved. The trudge down Ruddy Gill & Grains Gill was exactly that…a long trudge down. Looking forward to your next series 😊

[@sheffycity]

Good afternoon Craig Thank you for the most beautiful walk and views and stunning scenery to looking forward to the next one i love them all what you have done have a good afternoon Craig Trace 😊

[@mickymillersson4376]

Your fascination with jets reminds me of once being advised, “Don’t go anywhere where they still point at aeroplanes” 😂

[@skatemetrix]

Best route is start from Seathwaite, go up Grains Gill and get to Esk Hause- admire the view. Get to Great End and admire the view even more. Then take the path to Scafell Pike to reach the top. Come down a bit and stop at Lingmell, then descend via the Corridor Route to come to Styhead Tarn, and then return to Seathwaite. The best of your Southern Fell Wainwrights was the Bow Fell one when Bow Fell was snowed up.

[@willbo2000]

What a classic route, the mighty Peirs Gill, awesome majesty! Great video mate & already got some tickets in 😂👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Will 😊🙏

[@mikewinrow364]

Amazing panarama Glen what a route, many thanks for a vast amount of thrilling entertainment your as star
