The Lake District | Whiteside, Hopegill Head, Grisedale Pike & Grasmoor with

[@wendingourway]

One amazing day out exploring for sure!! One can never get enough of these views!

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Bruce, Hi Otis. Yes we are blessed with having all this just I’ve an hour up the road. I’m glad you enjoyed the views as much as I did. Just wish they came across as impressive on the photos as they do to the naked eye. All the best 😃🥾⛰🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Has to be my favourite horseshow in the lakes and not been on any of them for a couple of years now, so looking forwards to getting these last few Wainwrights knocked off next year so I can get back to getting back on some of these great summits. Cheers Alan

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Alan, yeah it’s a belter and after the initial steep pull once up it’s pretty easy walking. There is some magnificent views to be had if you have the weather like I did. All the best mate, hope you had a great weekend. 🥾⛰👍😃

[@WainwrightWalksWiaLocalLad]

It's a cracking walk that one Dave, one of my favourites...and I've still to do those fells for the current round 👌 TFS cheers Alistair 👍

[@DAoutdoors]

@@WainwrightWalksWiaLocalLad Good evening Alistair, there was a couple of new ones for me. I’d done Grasmoor before but never come down over Lad Hows. It was a little sketchy at the top, but once the scree finished and you get on to the grass it was a doddle. All the best mate, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

[@JamieHarding5]

Hello Dave. I really enjoyed that mate. Don't know if It’s because I've been up that way now myself. I thought that was your best video so far👍 Loved the view Grasmoor End across Crummock Water. Really enjoyed it👌👏👏

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Jamie. Thank you mate for your really kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed it. One looking forward to your video of your adventure on Glaramara. 😃 Have a great weekend mate, all the best pal. 😃🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@@DAoutdoors No worries. I was there 3 days. Scafell Pike first, those two with Butchy and then Cat Bells. Loved it there. I'll do the Scaffel Pike one first I can't wait to go back. I got a few in Wales first then the Shropshire Hills.👍

[@DAoutdoors]

@@JamieHarding5 You’ve done some cracking hills for your first time in the Lakes. Two of the most popular in the Pike and Cat Bells! I always look forward to your videos mate. I’ll be really interested to see the Shropshire hills! 😀

[@JamieHarding5]

@@DAoutdoors Cheers Dave. I really loved it up there. I will come up every few months now. Shame it's 5 hour 45 minutes drive. Well worth it though. I've never seen water like it before.

[@eddiecaisley5746]

Hi Dave. Looked like you had a cracking day, you had great views all the way. Great stuff. Cheers. Eddie.

[@DAoutdoors]

@@eddiecaisley5746 Hi Eddie, yeah another forecast they got right. It’s getting to be a regular occurrence! 🤣 Thanks for taking time to watch mate, all the best Dave 😀⛰🥾

[@Salkeldwife2023]

Beautiful pictures ❤

[@DAoutdoors]

Thank you Bex. 😃

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Hi Dave, We caught up with your adventures on the telly at the weekend 🤩👊. Blimey, you must live on weather apps recently😂. Every video has been clear skies and beautiful summits! This one looked like another belter ⛰️🤗. Steep climbs, but always worth it for those views! Lovely stuff, and another round for our list too 👍 Cheers Pete and Shell 😊👊👍

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Guys, haha, yes I have been deliberately selecting days when the forecast has been good, and fair play they actually have been getting it correct. I’d done Grasmoor before it was blowing a hoolie, lashing it down with rain and I saw naff all so it was nice to get the full 360 from the summit. The last time I walked down the valley of Gasgale Gill, which I could highly recommend but it was nice to be able to look down in to it. It seems your list of routes is getting longer and longer. 🤣🤣 All the best guys and as always, thank you so much for taking time to watch. Cheers 😃🏕️⛰🥾

[@SalkeldsAdventures]

Great hike that Dave with some good pics. Looked steep getting up Whiteside. We did Hopegill head from Braithwaite. Funny as we both kept forgetting its name on the video 😂

[@DAoutdoors]

It’s a steep pull up whiteside but before you know it you’re there and then the walk along to Hopegill head is a breeze. I’d done Grisedale Pile too from Braithwaite, if I remember that’s a pretty steep affair too. Thanks as ever for watching and your support it means a lot. 👍🥾⛰

[@tubbatravels]

Hi Dave, looked like a steep start? The hills under blue skies are special and such far reaching views. This grasmoor circular sure is a spectacular one.

[@DAoutdoors]

@@tubbatravels Hi Niall, I loved this walk. Yeah it’s a steep start but once on Whiteside summit it’s an easy walk over to Hopegill Head, and beyond to Grisedale Pike. The views from Grasmoor are amazing down to Crummock Water and left to Buttermere. It’s one is definitely recommend the next time you are up this way. Have a great weekend, and as always thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch. 😀🥾⛰🏕️

[@Kev_Russ]

That Whin Ben looks like a hill in Glenshee. Another fine day Dave. Mr Lake District you are eh. 😉

[@DAoutdoors]

Ey up Kevlar. Yes mate, but be been picking my days very strategically lately. 🤣🤣

[@KevinLamb-bc2qx]

Another great route Dave!

[@DAoutdoors]

Thank you Kevin. Glad you enjoyed it. 😃🥾⛰👍

[@stigfloberghagenphotography]

Looks great 🙂👍

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi there, thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😃👍⛰🥾

[@ashleyjarnold]

Hi Dave, so many times I have passed those mountains and never hiked up any of them. There was about 100 yards at the end that we've walked on going to the bluebells at Rannerdale Knotts. Looked like your path down to the road was a bit sketchy in places but the views you got were brilliant. Very tough hike i'd say with all the ups and downs but you made it look easy. Regards, Ashley

[@DAoutdoors]

@@ashleyjarnold Hi Ashley. I ticked off a couple of new ones. I’d done Grisedale Pike and Grassmoor before, but they were in the clag so nice to see the magical views from the summits. The path down Lad Hows is very sketchy at the top as it’s scree but once you get on to the grass it’s fine. We could see where the bluebells below Rannerdale Knotts would be. I’ll have to check that out next year. To be honest once on the ridge at Whiteside it’s easy walking over to Grisedale Pike and back over to Grassmore. All the best mate and thanks for watching. 😀⛰🥾👍

[@trekkingwithtony]

Absolutely fantastic views out there Dave looks like you got perfect whether for it. I've still got a couple of Wainwrights to grab in that area. You have some amazing footage there mate. Lets hope the weather holds a bit longer. Enjoy it out there⛰☀😃

[@DAoutdoors]

@@trekkingwithtony Thank you Tony. Yeah two news ones ticked off for me in Whiteside and Hopegill Head. I’d done Grasmoor and Grisedale Pike before but I saw nothing as I was in the clag so nice to get some views from there and they are amazing. I’ve also walked the path down the bottom of Gasgale Gill, if you ever get chance to do it I can recommend it, it’s a stunning path. All the best mate. I’m out for a wild camp on Friday. Take care pal 😀⛰🥾🏕️🥾

[@trekkingwithtony]

@@DAoutdoors nice one mate, it you fancy a wild camp on a Friday sometime give me a shout. I’ll be up on Sunday somewhere for a wander as the conditions look like they will hold 🥾😁⛰️

[@DAoutdoors]

@@trekkingwithtony Definitely mate. Might be next year now though, I think this may be my last of the year. I’ve not got the gear for winter camping, and beside I don’t think I’d want to winter camp. The thought of spending 14 hours in a tent because it’s pitch black don’t sound like fun. Haha Fingers crossed the weather holds mate, as you say it’s forecast to. 😀🥾⛰🏕️

[@trekkingwithtony]

@@DAoutdoors Haha, no probs mate. It may well be the camper for me for the rest of the year. I've got a foreign campaign coming up so that should coincide with the turn in the weather. This Friday looks like a good one for you. Enjoy it out there mate⛰😃🥾

[@DAoutdoors]

@@trekkingwithtony Nice one mate I'm intrigued! 🙂

Fantastic dave what a place and what a good day yous had doing shame we had no falls on this one tho 😂brilliand marra as always your still the Only one rocking vlogs like this and to be fair it so nice watching and thinking I'm the little dot it's so much easier this way then it is doing them hahahaha im taking a break just for a little ive done a vlog tonight but I'm not out of action so if your ever stuck and need the company you no where I am buddy and as always keep em coming pal hopfully a few more nice days to come cheers ...BUTCHY

[@DAoutdoors]

@@Butchyboysadventures Hi mate, yep no falls on this one, which is a rarity for me. There’s always usually one little stumble. Thanks as ever mate for your kind comments and of course for watching. I’ve got a few outliers that I need to do for smaller walks over the winters shorter days which I’m going to get bagged. Troutbeck Tongue is one for example. I’ll give you a nod when I’m doing them. All the best mate 😀🥾⛰👍

[@Butchyboysadventures]

@DAoutdoors no probs dave next week I'm at whitby but any sat after I've got 3 more I need to do before the year is bessyboot and the two mel fells ut would like to get catsy also or even blast that 12 mile route i sent you if your up for that and that would take me over 30 this year hahaha let me no if you've got the time pal cheers Dave

[@DAoutdoors]

@@Butchyboysadventures I’ve done the Mell Fells but would gladly do them again, I enjoyed them, I’ve got a good route to do them as a one walk. I need Bessyboot too, that’s another one I had planned for winter so defo up for that. Catsye Cam I’ve done but would love to do it again. Maybe tie that in with Birkhouse Moor which I need. Another good one for winter. I think a 12 miler we’d have to get in before the clocks go back which I might struggle with but will let you know. 😀👍⛰🥾

[@agesadventures]

Great hike up there! I love the views from the top😁 Were there ever trees on those mountains in the distant past or have they always been clear of them?

[@DAoutdoors]

Hi Age. No thousands of years ago the whole area would have been covered in trees. It’s hard to imagine isn’t it? All the best mate and as always thank you for taking time to watch and comment. 👍⛰🥾🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@agesadventures]

@@DAoutdoors Yeah, it just amazes me with some of these places where there is not a single tree there. I'm just used to having so many trees around me here. It makes it easier to see the views when you don't have all the trees interfering with your view though😁

[@DAoutdoors]

@@agesadventures Haha, yes Age, that is a very good point! We have a couple of hills that are tree clad, but they are few and far between.

[@FlyingScot]

I'm starting to think Dave there aren't that many places in the Lake District that you havent walked!

[@DAoutdoors]

Haha, there’s loads Iain. And every mountain has more than one way up as I’m sure you know. 🤣 All the best mate, have a great weekend. 😃🥾⛰🏕️
