Sheffield Pike & Glenridding Dodd // The Lake District

[@TheChrisallman]

Sheffield pike is the only wild camp me and my girlfriend have had to bail on. Weather was horrendous and the very few suitable pitches we found were far too waterlogged to be able to use. I have unfinished business with that Fell and will be back one day. Awesome content as always 👌🏻

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 hope you get back there and show it who's boss 😁

[@stuartheatley7620]

Still watching your vlogs from across the world in Dubai. I've done these two fells twice before and would definitely consider them again. I really want to wildcamp on Glenridding Dodd for a sunset and sunrise over Ullswater. Love the content of your vlogs. They are the best out on the Lake District fells in KZbin. Hope the knee is good. Cannot wait to finally fly home at the end of October and venture back to the lakes for the first time in 16 months. Man I miss it. The wife is even giving me a couple of months of me time before she fly's back with our girl. Thanks for the vlogs. Keep firing them out as I never miss one.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much for watching, really glad you're enjoying them 😊

[@willbo2000]

Thoroughly enjoyed that thanks mate, great shots too 👍😎

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks Will, appreciate that mate 😊

[@StephenPowell-s7t]

Another great video, how many extra steps do you do going back and forth to your camera?😂

[@dubtrek3023]

Great vid , will be staying in glenridding at a campsite in a few weeks will do all this . Great footage .......👍 Would love see a bit more footage of proper lake district pubs at the end of the vids ...... as this is the true reward for all day hikes 😄 Ps. Parking paid for 👌

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much Chris, that's very kind of you 😊🙏 I always fancy recording some pub stuff but feel a bit of a pleb walking in with my camera. I'll give it a go next time 😁

[@dubtrek3023]

@@BlackCrag ha even if its a walk through in stealth mode would be cool .... And a good look at the beer selections 👍

[@Riz340]

Your videos are really starting to look like bbc production quality, amazing my friend, amazed I haven’t bumped into you yet, I’m always in the lakes up the fells, keep up the great work, added you on Instagram ✌️

[@BlackCrag]

Ah, thanks so much, that means a lot 😊 Come and say hello if you do spot a frantic bearded loon running around in the hills 👋

[@paulhodge2266]

Hi Glenn. I watched your Walking the Wainwrights video of Sheffield Pike yesterday, and thought I’d revisit your first video. The drone footage is superb, as usual. I get so much enjoyment from your videos, as they are the second best thing to being back in The Lakes myself. It’s about time I got you a beer to say thank you, so cheers🍻

[@tonybateman48]

Descended via your ascent route a few weeks ago and it would appear that, like much of the Lake District, storm Arwen has given it a right good kicking; the path on the steeper section through the pine woods has been washed away in many places and there's a good few large trees blocking it. It was a feckin' nightmare with the best saved for last in the form of two girthsome pines right next to one another with no way over or under. Like your visit, it was flat and overcast so no worthwhile photos to be had. Good reason to go back, I think. Many thanks for yet another fell rockin' film.

[@flyingvisit2]

What an awesome view over Ullswater, a lovely old Norse name. The sheep might be a horned Dorset mix, good breeders, I can't swear to that, you can't say "hey Horned Dorset" so easily, it's not as endearing as hey herdies. Lol 😆

[@Class1Adventures]

Fab video. I spent the night on Norfolk Island on Friday night looking up to those mountains. Trying to work out which ones they were. Might have a walk up there this weekend. ATB Peter

[@onthetrail202]

Speedy recovery on the knee, I really liked the part where you were sat on the Dodd and filmed lots of boats passing and the cloud moving.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊 🙏

[@peterh4713]

Great videos on your channel. Can I ask what camera you are using? The audio is great too, are you using a separate mic?

[@nigelworthington734]

We go to the lakes a lot but never seen to manage any decent photos (iPhone) so will have a look at yours pal 👍🏻 great vid

[@johnduggan4788]

Keep up the great work great video thanks ;)

[@kiraalialeeonfairythegreenone]

Some glorious scenery and great music. Great filming.💛

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice video and footage. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful day. Stay safe and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again soon.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊

[@jakehutchinson897]

Fantastic high quality video as always. I was up on striding edge, Helvellyn and Swiral edge round to Catstycam last weekend after watching your video on that hike. Cool to see those from your Glenridding Dodd view. Very inspiring thank you.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much, really pleased you enjoyed that walk 😊🙌

[@markdavinson6830]

Planning to hopefully run Sheffield Pike and Glenridding Dodd from Threlkeld at the weekend. Knocking off some new tops for my 45 new Wainwrights while I’m 45. Some good photo opportunities for my gurning mates to spoil. Liked and subscribed, will have a look at the back catalogue. Thanks for getting out there and recording.

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@chrisgoff1410]

Different fells same outcome, love your knowledge/passion of the sublime Lake District 🏔🏔😍

Thank you 😊 🙏

[@mustafadesai7264]

Excellent as always, greatly appreciate your efforts, the vlogs are invaluable... Hope the knee gets better soon... till then take it easy... 🙌🏼🙏

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much Mustafa, glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@grahamwest2487]

Another great vlog - but I now realise what I am missing - you talking more about photography, light and the genesis of your great pictures and your style of photos. Yours interested GW 🍺

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊

[@darrencallaway4090]

Great video. Next time save yourself a bit of money and park a short walk away the cricket pitch in Patterdale £3 all day money goes towards the club

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you and thanks for the tip 😊🙌

[@heatherandthehounds]

Great video and looks like a walk I’d like to try. Views looked wonderful! ☺️

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 it's a thoroughly enjoyable little route 👌

[@GaryMorris222]

Loveing the videos

[@nickcrotty5754]

Currently barred from the lakes, doctors orders, these vlogs are my virtual hike 👍

[@BlackCrag]

Ah, that's a shame..... But I'm glad they're helping, thank you 😊

[@stuartdobson9984]

Glenn, are all of the pix you show in these vlogs available for purchase on your website, or do you curate them?

[@BlackCrag]

Hi Stuart, one or two are available on the site but the majority aren't yet. I should probably create a page on my website for each vlog, with the photos to buy 🤔 Is there one in particular that you're interested in?

[@stuartdobson9984]

Actually Glenn, I’m thinking I need a collection or “montage” for my place in Perth. But which ones? Well to answer that I need to see a selection and chose ones that resonate with me. So, the more you have on your gallery the better. 🤔

[@kamucho]

I've been up on the Dodd once before...the weather was shocking and I didn't get that view, only went to the summit. Will definitely be revisiting and going rite towards the end for that view

[@blackrainphoto]

Just discovered your channel and photography and I'm instantly hooked. Being an amateur photographer and from the lake District your photos are inspirational and I was wondering what gear do you use?

[@garymartin557]

could you do a photography vlog on darling fell please. loving your work.

[@BlackCrag]

That's a very good idea, thanks.... Added to the list 😁🙏

[@garymartin557]

@@BlackCrag looking on a map, it would suggest views towards crumoch / buttermere and towards the coast.

[@SteveWebb]

Yep tore the cartilage in my knee about 2.5yrs ago and it's took well over a year before I was walking without discomfort. However 6 months ago I started walking the fells again but I use a pole now just to help a bit. I try and walk 2-3 miles a day and that helps big time.

[@BlackCrag]

Sorry to hear that.... Hope you're walking full distances again soon 😊

[@adelazell]

Loved this walk. We're up in the Lakes, for a long weekend, mid October. Staying in Grasmere. Any suggestions for a walk? Btw - where was Finn? We missed him.

[@BlackCrag]

I've got a few vlogs of that area including Fairfield and Seat Sandal, Silver How, Helm Crag via Steel Fell and Loughrigg 😊

[@frodolexi]

Hey Glen, great video, not been up that way and probably wouldn't have thought about it, but will venture up there on next trip. I'll also get brownie points for it being short😄👍

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks for watching.... It's a great little route 😊

[@Brock_in_the_North]

Was going to say I know you do the lakes because you live locally but if you ever get chance I'd love to see mountains like Tryfan etc in Wales Your vlogs seem to have a renewed energy about them recently, I like it :)

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks so much 😊 I do plan to visit other areas, as soon as my van conversion is done I'll be heading to Scotland as well as Wales 😊

[@stevehubbard8459]

Good one! Liking the mix of different camera views, especially the tripod-mounted bits where you chat to us. Hope the knee recovers soon. Mine are shot to bits - must be an age thing 😢

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much 😊 just trying different things out, seeing what works etc. Looking forward to cybernetic knees soon 🤞

[@katyjfells]

You’re right about the heather - mid July onwards it was stunning up there, wish it lasted longer! Fab vlog again, as always 👏🏻

[@BlackCrag]

It's very brief isn't it 🙄 And thank you so much 😊

[@darrenhall4212]

Hope your knee is better soon. I broke my leg last weekend on Dale Head so I’m walking through your vids at the minute, keep up the good work :)

[@BlackCrag]

Thank you, knee feels a bit better..... Sorry to hear you broke your leg! 😱

[@MHLandscape]

Loved this! Stunning location and love your editing style on this, someone get a new toy? Don't think I've seen you record audio on a lav mic before but really works on your vlogs! I have a renewed appreciation for your vlogs.. in fact, all vloggers since producing my 1st ever last week.

[@BlackCrag]

Thanks very much, glad you liked it 😊 I've had the lav mic since very early on but I think it was more apparent this time as I spoke far from the camera 😁

[@MHLandscape]

@@BlackCrag how very non observant of me 🤦‍♂️ but like the new style of talking further away from the camera, really works with this style of vlog.
