Great video pal, absolutely gorgeous scenery ❤️. You mentioned you were “sweating drips,sweating everything “ , at 04:20, I call sweating cobs from where I come from 🤣

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Haha thanks, I think I was about to say “sweating cobs” as I say that, maybe I thought no one would know what I meant. We say that in Cheshire way👍

[@GusMcCrae01]

Fantastic! I've never seen clear blue skies like this in the Lake District. Around what date were you here for this video?

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Hey, thanks for watching. It was mid August. Luckily for me I was right place right time and it was a roasting hot day☀️

[@penninewild5970]

I actually plopped in the same pool on my way down from Piers Gill and Scafell on a baking hot afternoon in August 2022. Great spot to revitalise.

[@onsight2822]

used to be crystal clear ! over 300 people there last weekend now its on KZbin/ place is now a shithole 🤦‍♂️

[@winstonsmith3690]

Crystal clear water and footage. An amazing place.

[@PinnedonPlaces]

Great idea to go for a wild swim on a day like that! Beautiful views of the surroundings! The whole walk is so scenic, could watch this for hours. So epic to see the jets too before your dip in the pools, they look so majestic! This was great thank you so much for sharing!

[@lacabenita8598]

[@lauriecrayston]

[@deniseoleary2478]

We at Buttermere when we seen the jets go over and I did the same as you and only managed to catch two of them lol

[@steveburney5559]

Hi the pool is locally known as Emerald Pool not Fairy Pool

[@aspectratio6580]

Excellent spot I'm a local and have never seen it before must have walked past it going up gable/honister 30 times atleast.

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Thanks, a recommended gem of a pool👍

[@stuparry1]

Great place to go too, i went there myself yesterday and also had the whole place to myself too

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Glad to hear that especially for a weekend in this weather, it’s a beaut of a pool👍

[@stevebenton1543]

Thanks for sharing. Now I must follow in your footsteps 👍

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Enjoy👍

[@onsight2822]

at least 299 other people had the same idea last Saturday 🤦‍♂️

[@missnancysdayoff]

That looks amazing!!

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

It is, especially when you have it all to yourself👍

[@missnancysdayoff]

@@TheWoollybackwalker absolutely, I bet I need to get up early for that?!

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Not really, you just have to choose a warm day when it’s not half term and a weekday. I’d go after midday as well, give the sun time to come up over the valleys and shine on it. So much nicer in the sunshine👌

[@RichieBrownAnAdventurer]

great video as always mate!

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Thanks pal

[@jt24uk]

Wow

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Worth a summer dip👍

[@jasonmaddison6148]

great vid fella.

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Thanks mate

[@gracefirth3291]

How long does it take to walk from the carpark?

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

About an hour

[@ellathompson1953]

do you have the coordinates for this!

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

No sorry but it’s in Lingmell Beck as mentioned in the video, follow the path alongside the river and you can’t go wrong

[@MDNorthHolland]

Can you drink the water?

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Well it’s river water and not spring water, so I’d let you decide

[@AtThomas24]

Where abouts is this

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

The Lake District

[@MrJud62]

stunning surroundings,whats the nearest railway station to wasdale?

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

Drigg maybe or Ravenglass but still quite far away

[@MrJud62]

@@TheWoollybackwalker no worries, just bead a location that’s close to a railway station being as I don’t drive, any info would be much appreciated 👍

[@TheWoollybackwalker]

I think you might be able to get a bus from Ravenglass to Wasdale Head, but I’ve never done this myself so don’t quote me on it

[@MrJud62]

@@TheWoollybackwalker ok mate, no worries 👍

[@eioinmclove]

Seascale is the nearest proper rail station. No bus service but you can get a taxi, £25 ish. Worth every penny!!
