Hi Alan, that's a great hike up Scafell Pike, well done for doing it alone, especially on little sleep! We did Scafell Pike way back in 2008 and I remember it too being very "scrambly" to hike especially near the end! We've recently come back from the Lakes having staying in Ullswater, looking forward to sharing our hikes in coming weeks! Cheers, Simon😎👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Simon and it was a 16 hour day from getting up, till getting back in the house but I loved it. Looking forward to your lake land videos, cheers Alan

[@FrankAndTinaOfficial]

This is what I need to to for exercise is take up hiking and going into the country side! Absolutely beautiful! Love it there! I would love to go to see that in person! Gorgeous views!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was such an awesome day,, a long day 16 hours but I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Great hike that Alan mate, what stunning views Thanks for sharing mate, have a great weekend Ash

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching, you too Ash. I was lucky with the weather, as it all closed in at the top just after I left. Cheers Alan

[@mikeshiking7453]

Awesome hike that Al and the quality of the vid is something else.....one of the best I've seen on the tube, well done really enjoyed it looking forward to the next one...cheers Mike

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Mike and your very kind words, which I really appreciate buddy. I git lucky with the weather, as soon as I left the top, it all closed in. Take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@outdooradventuresandtravel6479]

Love the waterfall...I could sit and listen to the water all day...so many beautiful views..stunning pictures...enjoyed very much Alan...take care and be safe always

An excursion with really great moments, Alan! an impressive climb ... the views from the summit are spectacular it was nice to observe such a wonderful nature. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! 👌 👍105👌🥀🌷 ♫. Big hugs, Patrizia ♡♡♡

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you very much for watching Patrizia and your very kind words, which are very much appreciated. Cheers Alan

[@TheMrsKKB]

Oh the memories are flooding back! We started in Wasdale too and I remember the drive to the carpark being a very narrow but beautiful road. The crossing at 1:23 was tricky when we did it (in March) and I have a photo of my Englishman walking up the hill to see if there was a better spot, but in the end .... thanks to my poles.... we made it with almost dry feet LOL. We had snow at the top so it was a challenge to find the route (the normal one as we didn't feel Mickeldore would have been safe in the snow). As you mentioned, it is a bit bouldery getting to the top and that was difficult as one never knew what was hiding under the snow. But that looks like a very exciting yet exhausting route with all the scree. Well done Alan .. also on the early wake up LOL!! And you are right, film never can convey the beautiful of it in real life! Glad the weather held up for you but the clouds on the way down looked very mystical. Thanks for sharing and Cheers :)))

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad it brought back good memories for you and it must have been very magical on the summit in the snow for you. It was a 16 hour day, from getting up, till getting back in the house but I was still buzzing and unable to get to sleep on the evening lol. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@GoTrails]

Beautiful place, nice video. Thanks for uploading ... Have a nice day!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you! You too, real nice of you to watch and comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan

[@NorthernWayfarer-Alice]

That looked like a proper solo adventure. Loved the atmospheric shots as you were coming down with the mist drifting across those views. Can't believe that you've not been up Skiddaw yet. You are on course for doing England's 3,000ers... get Skiddaw and Crossfell done and you will have completed all four of England's P600s. Take care. Alice

[@AlanMETALMAN]

My Skiddaw view had just gone up today lol. I really enjoyed this day mind, it was 16 hours from getting up, till getting home but I enjoyed every second was was still buzzing trying to get to sleep on the night lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@wasdalemanexploringoutdoor5137]

Glad you had the views at the top Alan it makes the day. I think I saw a glimpse of the lords rake at 819 in the top left hand corner, it’s a vertical channel. It’s like an illusion that you can’t see until you know it’s there, It’s very challenging but an incredible cut threw to Scafell well worth the effort. What a great day out, hope you had a cider to celebrate. Regards.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I did when I got home , which was 16 hours after I got up lol. I will have to look into Lords Rake more carefully, heard a lot about it. Thanks for watching and I hope you are well, cheers Alan

[@saenri79]

I'm heading up to scafell pike this weekend coming; with the eldest in tow - been a little over 10 years since I was last up scafell pike which I did on my own and went the normal route. The boy has specifically requested some scrambling though, as he enjoyed it at snowdon last year (via watkins) and I had to do some digging around, and realised we could have a little more of a challenge going via mickledore, which is how I've ended up here on your video :) looks like a fun route, here's hoping we have some decent weather! Great vid, definitely agree with you re: going on your own, sometimes it's nice to just have the time to do things at your own pace and take it all in

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The weekend is looking quiet good so here's hoping you get a great day and even better views from the summit as well. The Mickledore route will be great for you both and a lot quieter than the main path too, a small tip would be stick to the edge as you go up towards Mickledore, which is a bit easier but it is a great way to the top. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciate! Have a great weekend hike, cheers Alan

[@cairnscrow8713]

Well done and brilliant VLog Alan. We stayed at the NT Campsite (booked a few weeks ago when restrictions first lifted) and by the sound of it set off about an hour behind you, same route ascending Mickledore. I just noticed when you was on the summit, the guy with the Parsons Jack Russell met us at the top of Mickledore and was going to climb down it. But the clouds rolled in so he returned to the normal route

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Wow, thats funny, as he took the summit photo of me and he was asking about my route up. I hope you got some clear views on the summit, as it started to deterioate when I set off down. Thanks very much for watching and commenting, real good of you. Enjoy the rest of your camping, cheers Alan

[@MyAdventureTube]

Wow! what a beauty, what a landscape, what a way to get in touch with nature . Congratulations on giving you moments like this friend. Thanks for sharing😀👍

@@AlanMETALMAN You Welcome My Friend.😀👍

[@Packsalot]

Good to see you out again. Awesome hike up the rugged rocks pretty cool. Those views from those high points were pretty awesome. Take care and see you in the next one 👍😃

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks, you too, really appreciate you stopping by and I have been on holiday for two weeks so been real busy but back to normal tomorrow , cheers Alan

[@AGirlGoneWild]

Well Done Alan that was a great hike although I don't envy you on the scree path...think if I do it I'll take the popular path. Gorgeous views and well worth stopping for a few breaks to enjoy them.ATB Ana

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The scree path is tough but it benefits from being almost deserted compared to the tourist route up and I like a bit of a change too. The last time I did this route was with 3 friends so I wanted to give it a solo go and real pleased I manged it. Real good of you to watch and comment, cheers Alan

[@jonathancraigguides]

Well that brought back a lot of memories. It is many a year since I did Scafell Pike via Mickledore. My normal route is from the ODG, longer walking but not as far to drive, in fact, you can, if you get a bit of a move on, do it by bus! I do remember watching Jos Naylor run up and down it, I seem to remember it was on Channel 4, and they also mentioned it on Terry Abraham's 'Life of a Mountain'. He ran up from close to the car park, and back down again, in 47 minutes! I think I'm like you Alan, I enjoy the slower pace, plenty of stops to admire the stunning view. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing the journey via your video. Take care and stay safe. Thankyou - Eric.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Eric and such a great comment. Now he was a proper boy,, running up and down and in 47 minutes, mind blowing. Unless camping over there, I will most likely never climb from that side again but wanted to do Mickledore by myself and really enjoy it, which I did. Take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@PaulMaloney]

Heading up to the Lakes in 2 weeks, want to do Scafell Pike but haven't decided the route yet, thanks for the view on Mickledore and helping me understand I don't need to decide until I hit the fork in the path.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Paul and no matter which route you take up, have a great time. Fingers crossed you get some clear weather, as the views are amazing, cheers Alan

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Great footage. There were some really pretty views along the way on this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Real nice of you to stop by and comment, appreciate it. I got lucky with the weather, as soon as I left the top, it all closed in. Take care, cheers Alan

[@waterfallmadman]

Lovely cascade, beautiful views, fantastic hike. It looked like a tough one though.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was a 16 hour trip from getting up, till I got back home but I enjoyed every minute of it, even when it rained lol. Thanks very much for stopping by, really appreciate it, cheers Alan

[@curiouscoconut951]

Absolutely superb! Thank you so much for sharing, I hope I’m brave/fit/strong enough to do this via the regular route one day soon. 💖

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I hope so too, it's a real good achievement which ever way you do it and I would only say one thing, go early, when I was coming down it was like a bus route going up. Take care and thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@Wanna.Wander]

I love this one so much! Those falls are amazing! The look at the lake, gorgeous! I hope you get to camp the trust, that’d make an awesome video. The scrambles we’re so fun! It was cool to see it on the map. And the grasses are so green. I need a stick too, helps steady. Then the summit... and those stellar views💜💜💜

[@AlanMETALMAN]

A long day but a great day, I loved every minute of it, even when it rained lol. Real good of you to stop by and comment, I really appreciate it, take care, cheers Alan

[@Wanna.Wander]

Always dear... love and miss your vids to the best hikes💜

[@ClaireIona]

Looks like the perfect day for it 😁 the sky is just so gorgeous! Wow that’s a very early wake up 😅 Awww I hate getting wet feet puts a damper on things 😂 Some beautiful sights looks like a magical valley 😍🏞🌄 Oooh what a scramble 😬 Nice dramatic music haha 😁 Great snaps from the top 😊 Love your banter all the way through 😅 Wow never seen mist quite like that 🤗

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I had such a fun day and despite it being 16 hours from getting up till getting home, I was still buzzing and could not sleep when I eventually got to bed. I was real pleased to be going down when the mist rolled in but felt sorry for the people still plodding upwards. Thanks you so much for Claire, its real nice of you and I always appreciate it, cheers Alan

[@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230]

Hiya, Alan. This one appeared on my timeline when I was having me tea! Cracking video, and a long day for you. I've climbed Scafell Pike many times, but never gone up the Mickledore path yet. You got some really nice photos as well. Take care.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, a real long day with 6.5 hours driving on top of the climbing. Only ever going up Mickledore as the straight up and down looks very boring. I really must try the route from Seathwaite Farm next time. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@GillanTravels]

That was a great hike Alan! It must be hard to climb up with those loose rocks and not to mention the dark clouds covering you guys. It’s worth it though , the view from the summit is spectacular!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Real good of you to stop by and yest it was a tough day, especially after a 3 hour drive to get there but I loved every minute, cheers Alan

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Alan, we both watched this last night. Looks like you had a great day. Love the views from the summit, I will have to try that route up sometime, it looks really good. Great stuff! Cheers. Eddie.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It's the best route up from that side Eddie, to be honest, the popular route is just a slog straight up, with hundreds of people. Thanks very much for watching, take care both, cheers Alan

[@justgetoutthereguy]

Well done Alan! Very envious, not sure if you saw my version of exactly this route - but you had considerably better weather than I did!! Good for you for getting up so early and getting up there... I know you said you were buzzing, but I bet you were knackered by the time you got home!! Well worth it though - Brilliant! All the best - Adam

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was 16 hours Adam, from getting up and then getting home. Funny thing is, I could not get to sleep when I eventually got to bed lol. I will have a look for that video Adam, as I do not remember it. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment, take care buddy, cheers Alan

Glad you enjoyed it Max and appreciate you stopping by buddy, a long day, a tough day but a memorable day and for all the right reasons, cheers Alan

[@prrhartley]

Ah what a great vlog! Great you got to do that walk on what was my 50th birthday too - brilliant!. Off up there in August, just not too sure yet what routes to take. Cheers

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment, real good of you and very much appreciated. Fingers crossed you get good weather and I think the route from Wastwater is the easiest to follow, as it is a straight up from the car park, a well defined path although, I took the detour up Mickledore just for the additional adventure but I could have just stuck to the main path, which was the way I came down. Good luck, cheers Alan

[@prrhartley]

@@AlanMETALMAN Thanks for your reply. Ill bare your advice in mind, especially as my kids aged 10 & 12 will be with me so need to make it as interesting as well as enjoyable as possible. Scafell Pike is the last of the "Three Peaks' we need to bag before choosing some more enjoyable strolls on offer. Take care

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

Quite impressive the fact you just drove 3 hours and hiked the tallest peak in England! You did a really good job filming this hike in its entirety. So beautiful in the beginning with the water coming down the mountain and the Lake in the background. When you were going up toward the sunlight it looked like you were going straight to heaven! Definitely a beautiful hike and everything looked awesome even when the clouds rolled in! Thanks for sharing your adventure Alan!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Appreciate you stopping by Eric and it was a tough call getting up and over there so early but I was running on adrenaline all day, really enjoyed it though. Cheers Alan

[@Rob.Mitchell]

Just came across this video, i actually remember seeing you & going past just over the bridge heading up.. Weather was lovely when i hit the summit I went the traditional route as it was my first time up

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching Rob and what a cracking day it was. I got lucky on the summit too and it was only after I left that the weather turn a bit. Second time I had been up via Mickledore and I can really recommend it, if you go up again. Take care buddy and I appreciate you taking the time to comment, cheers Alan

[@rockeastwood]

I've been trying to learn exactly where these areas are. The names are so confusing so I map them. I've been watching a lot of England / Scotland photography channels like Thomas Heaton. I've really been learning as these areas are now on my wish list of places I want to visit - once we're allowed. I suppose the world is so big I never paid attention to anyone saying England has beautiful landscape but it certainly does. & now I know where Scafell is! Near Wasdale Head & Great Gable! Nice hike. Nice area. I actually prefer foggy day so it looked spectacular. From what I can tell flying into Manchester is the nearest hub to get to these lake districts. I'm taking notes. Rockie

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Appreciate you stopping by Rockie and you are right, Manchester Airport is about 1.5 hours, by car, away from the Lake District. Your knowledge is pretty impressive and the fog blew in but blew out pretty quick, when is does not, yiu can get real disoriented up there real quick. Take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@Mudanzas]

Brilliant video Alan and great to see Mickledore - I love it. You’re going at it at the moment matey, Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and on fb, looks like you’ve just done Skiddaw too. Wow 😊. Never ever have “a last time” buddy 😁👍🏻

[@stubloggs6358]

Another superb trek Alan, was well pleased when you decided to take the Mickledore route, know what you mean about ''being there'' as opposed to watching a vid.......you did elude to the fact that you would be back up there, so here is a challenge for next year.....try going from Seathwaite in Borrowdale, up through Grains Gill to Esk Hause and then across the boulder-field to the summit, then descend by the corridor route to Sty-head tarn and back to Seathwaite. Its a challenge but I reckon you can do it.......cracking vid Alan,loved it.......cheers....Stu.....👍👌

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Stu and the next time I go up there, that's the route I will be taking, I really enjoyed the route I took but man that drive and it felt even longer coming back lol, cheers Alan

[@torbaggermaxpiper]

Excellent video, Alan - great achievement! The cloud moving past is awesome to see and makes for fantastic photography opportunities which you took advantage of! I think what I'm going to have to learn when I visit the mountains is that you can't rush them; allowing plenty of time for a short distance seems to be important to take care on the routes... much rockier and steeper than Dartmoor. ATB Max.

Yes it was, 16 hours from getting up, till get back home and then I could not sleep when I eventually got to bed lol. Long day but a real enjoyable one. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@DesGreene]

Brilliant vid Alan. I'm a bit of a stranger to Cumbria, but hoping to put that right once the lockdowns are behind us. Researching for a trip up Scafell Pike and your vid came up 😁 Might try the popular route for my first go though! All the best👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The good thing with the popular route from Wastwater is you cannot get lost, just follow the path up and there will be so many people going the same way too. As I remember I set off at 07.00 and there were still quite a few people on the trail then. Thanks very much for watching Des, cheers Alan

[@DesGreene]

@@AlanMETALMAN Yes, I'll more than likely be on my own. So a straightforward route is probably wise. Will try and avoid crowds if possible though👍

[@hakimpoetry]

[@SurviveTheWildOriginal]

Some stunning views to be had this is one hill that I need to tick off.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Fingers crossed you get a clear summit when you do, as the views from the summit are breathtaking. Thanks very much for watching and commenting, cheers Alan

[@irishwanderer_]

Wow your an early riser!I thought there would be nobody there so early. The views are amazing from the summit.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I do not mind getting up early and it was a 3 hour drive just to get there, so others who were closer had the jump on me. Thanks very much for watching, good of you, cheers Alan

[@shirleyc285]

Love the cloud at the end ,very dramatic, great stuff 🙂

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was a great sight to see Shirley but I was pleased I was heading down and not up lol. Thanks very much for watching and commenting Shirley, real good of you. Take care, cheers Alan

[@brookestraveltime4533]

Nice one Alan, I am yet to do this one but looks fantastic.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

If you get a clear day, the views are breathtaking, so fingers crossed you do! Thanks very much for watching and commenting buddy, cheers Alan

[@LivingFree365]

Beautiful view of the lake. I know the feeling on taking the breaks. "Gotta Beast it up there" That's awesome! That's a lot of shale rocks. I thought only we had the stupid people over here that write stupid stuff on other people's property. The views from the summit of Scafell Pike are amazing! The magical moments are what make every hike wonderful. I love how the weather can change within minutes. Thankfully you got there early and beat the crowds. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Cheers Shu.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and a great comment Shu, really appreciate it buddy. I got real lucky with the weather, as it closed in when I left the top but man, what a long day, really enjoyed it though, cheers Alan

[@ackosadventures2486]

Some cracking photography on that one Alan

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I was so lucky with the weather, turned a bit on the way down but on the summit, I must have spent over an hour before I could drag myself away - breath-taking. Thanks very much for watching Stuart, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

[@northeastwildcamper]

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Wow, now that must have been tough Bryan with a camping pack on, hats off to you for that buddy. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@treklinda1309]

Well done! And what stunning views!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Linda, real nice of you to watch and take the time to comment, very much appreciated. I hit on lucky with the weather, just as I left the top, it all closed in, so real pleased to get some great views. Take care, cheers Alan

[@AmericasParks]

Getting an early start on this one! Way to skip the "traditional" way up! Beautiful views on the summit. Congrats on scaling the highest peak!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much Randy and appreciate you stopping by buddy. Always a busy day on there, so I was determined to get there early doors, cheers Alan

[@anthonypayne1]

Well done Alan, that’s a great route up and well worth the effort you put in. I’m guessing your knees are holding up? Looks like you timed it right with the weather as it can be disorientating up there in the clag.👍👍👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Touch wood Anthony, my knee if holding up great (thank goodness) and long may that continue lol. I timed the weather just right, as it was only on the way down it turned. Thanks very much for watching, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

[@deliverybloke]

great walk Alan.. sometimes the drive there puts me off..6 hours round trip is too much..

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I know what you mean (pleased I did it now) but I am getting a new car on Friday, so a good time to do the miles over there lol. Real good of you to watch and comment, cheers Alan

[@MarksGoneWalking]

Thanks Alan for sharing this route with us. Very interesting scramble which will definitely bring me back to Scarfell Pike. Just watching by the poolside in Turkey sweating 😅 like crazy.. Made me lol “there’s a lot stupid people about these days”. ATB Mark.

[@MarksGoneWalking]

Ps - respect to you - very very long day.👍 crazy how the weather can change in a second. Like you I like to stop and chat; can’t beat it. Here’s to the next one 👍🍺

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and we used to love Turkey but not been for about 8 years now, which is a shame. Thanks for watching and enjoy tour holidays, cheers Alan

[@gunners3243]

Great video Alan.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and very nice of you to take the time to watch and comment, cheers Alan

[@JohnAmes]

Awesome video my friend 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for the visit John, real good of you, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan

[@WyeExplorer]

So, you chose the beastly way Alan. Well, you chose the rockers way because there was lots of rock and lots of roll. Ha ha! Well done, a really good climb. Some good breaks but you had nobody to talk to on this route. If you had imagine how long it might have taken you to get them views. Maaan, you could see off Scafell Pike but only just in time. Good going. All the best. Mark

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching Mark and there was certainly a lot of twisting and shouting going on as well, real fun way up but not for everyone. I hope you are keeping fit and well, take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@WyeExplorer]

@@AlanMETALMAN A pleasure Alan. Good to hear it was fun - well i could see and hear that. Me? Been training for the Wye on the 22nd - the last of the rivers. I will have hiked all 20 then. I'm stoked.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

@@WyeExplorer - wow, fantastic achievement!

[@WyeExplorer]

@@AlanMETALMAN Thanks Alan. Not many people have done it and I had to carry on without Paul. Cried a lot on them hills. Have a great day tomorrow.

[@nigelharness9032]

well worth getting up that early alan superb views from the very top, my only time up there it was 100 per cent cloudy with no views so i will return 1 day, you certainly testing that knee and making up for lost time this year especially early doors when in lockdown, great video m8 ps what is your very favourite place in all of lakeland cheers nigel

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I have very fond memories of Blencathera and Place Fell, as I have done both numerous times but also with my son and grandson. More testing of the knee today on Skiddaw. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Nice work Alan, you certainly get about pal. Doesn’t matter how long it takes you, to experience those views is what it’s all about, good on you 👍, cheers Ant.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks Ant, good of you to watch and with me it's like the tortoise and the hare, the tortoises gets there eventually and has a lot more fun doing it lol. Cheers Alan

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Alan METALMAN - Outdoors it’s the main thing isn’t it mate, we enjoy the great outdoors don’t we pal 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and after all these years, this comment has just now appeared waiting a response, which I always give - better late than never I suppose, cheers Alan

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

@AlanMETALMAN lol no worries Alan, hope your well pal

[@christianbibleversechannel8063]

awesome footage Alan, here supporting with a full view, have a lovely week ahead, like 126

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for the visit, real good of you, one of my best days from 2020, cheers Alan

[@JamieHarding5]

Hi Alan. Really enjoyed that. Well done doing it and getting up and out so early. I'm doing this one next month. It's 5 hour drive for me. I have about 50 hours. After doing this I'll leave early the next morning. Can you please recommend some good places for me to move on to. Lake District or well known places in your area? I know very little about hikes in England nothing really. I have a good engine on me and can walk pretty fast on little sleep. I'm hoping to go to quite a few places. Big hikes and waterfalls or lakes. I'd be greatful if you had in places for me to visit after doing this one. You had great views on the top. I will wait for a clear weekend and just go for it. Cheers mate.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Well the other classical climbs in the Lakes have to be Helvellyn and Blencathra, with the option over Striding Edge and Swirral Edge on the way up and down from Helvellyn and Sharp Edge on the way to Blencathra, which as long as you have a good head for heights are all brilliant to go across. Both of these have routes when you can miss out the edges if you are not keen on doing them but both of them have amazing views from the summit and only about a 45 minute drive apart from each one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@JamieHarding5]

@AlanMETALMAN Thank you very much. That's awesome. I got plenty to look at now. Really appreciate you taking the time to share that. I use alltrails so I'll look them up on there and watch some vids on KZbin. You're a good un.😉👍

[@rooksfoot1184]

great views.... in your editing software.. the transitions u use seem to have the audio auto fading for the last and first seconds of the clips...ocaisionally i miss the last word u say... think u can disable the audio fading feature on most editing software and keep the video transition ATB .... great job

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for the information and real good of you to watch and comment. I am trying to cut down on transitions, as a couple of people have mentioned they are not too keen on them. Take care buddy, cheers Alan

[@Herfortz]

11:08 That is awesome, bro.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for stopping by, real good of you and a real good day out, I need more like that, cheers Alan

[@TheDoveys]

Back where you belong, Alan. Nice to see! Excuse the lack of interaction from us, we've just come back from a lengthy break in France and are playing catch up.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Sounds fun and I have you on my tomorrow watch list. I hope you all are well and thanks for watching, cheers Alan

[@TheDoveys]

@@AlanMETALMAN Nothing to watch Alan lol, I've dropped a short of George beating a UK record but I wouldn't bother with it, it'll be in the main edit of the France tour in a week or two. I was just genuinly catching up on KZbinrs I like to watch as I've been out of the Uk for a few weeks and not kept up with any form of social media.
