@@AliOutdoors Awww thank you for watching it, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes it’s a fabulous route. One of my favourites too🙂

Hi Jennifer, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you’re able to give this hike a go if you haven’t done it already as it’s a lovely route. Just be sure not to do the rake section of the route in wet conditions as it would be extremely slippery. Thank you so much for giving the video a watch and also for dropping me a comment. It’s very much appreciated. All the very best, happy hiking. Mike

Hey thanks for taking the time out to give my video a watch. I hope it was of some help to help plan your trip. The whole route would probably take around 5.5 hours to complete. However it took me a wee bit longer due to having to stop all the time to film. A wild camp on top of Red Pike sounds fantastic. Just pick your day as it’s pretty exposed up there in the wind. Thanks for the sub it’s very much appreciated. I’ll be getting some more content up soon hopefully once I’ve recovered from an injury I acquired last year. Thanks again for the watch and the comment and I wish you a wonderful time on the route. All the very best Mike

Thank you Phil for your kind words they are very much appreciated. I’m glad the video was of some help in planning your trip. It’s a wonderful route, you should have a fantastic time on it. I hope the weather is good for you and you have an amazing day. Thank you again for taking the time to watch my video. Stay safe Mike

Thanks John I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You should have a great time, especially after all the recent rain we’ve had. The waterfalls should be in full flow. Enjoy yourself and thank you again for watching the video🙂 All the best Mike

Awww thank you for your such kind words🙏 It did turn out to be a long day with all the stopping and starting but it was still super enjoyable to video the walk. If you haven’t done the rake already then I would definitely recommend doing it. You will have a wonderful time. Thank you so much for giving the video a watch it’s very much appreciated🙂 Happy hiking Mike

Hi, It’s not particularly too hard to find your way. However the area can become clagged in with low cloud all of a sudden on overcast days and you may start to veer off course. Best thing to do is to stay near the edge of the plateau and use the edge as a hand rail along the south rim. People tend to come unstuck when they venture in towards the middle of the plateau. Obviously bring a map and compass and a gps if you have one just in case. Hope you enjoy the walk if you do decide to take it on. Pick a clear day and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Lots of people to ask along the route if you’re unsure. Thanks for watching and happy hiking🙂 Mike

Awww thank you for such wonderful feedback, it’s very much appreciated🙏 Yes I enjoyed the day immensely. Had the place to myself at Innominate Tarn which was nice. Plenty of time to sit and soak up the atmosphere. I’m pleased you’ve done the route but yea maybe a cooler day next time.!!😰 Thanks for watching the video I’m glad you enjoyed it. Happy hiking Mike

Awww thank you🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it. Haha yea they are quite rare nowadays. That one I found hiding right at the back of my chocolate drawer. If you keep your eyes open you can still find em dotted around in the shops. Thanks again for taking the time out to give my video a watcharoo, it’s so very much appreciated🙂 Happy hiking Mike

It’s just a little too short for me. Still a nice day out though and well worth doing. Thanks for taking the time to drop me a comment and for watching the video. It’s much appreciated🙏 Happy and safe hiking🙂 Mike

Thanks Wayne, I’m glad you liked the video. If you haven’t done the walk, I would recommend you stick it on your to do list as it’s a wonderful one.!! Thanks again for watching the video🙏 Happy hiking. Mike.

Excellent.!! You will have a great time.!! Thanks for watching the video🙏 Happy hiking🙂 Mike

Hey Shaun, thanks for dropping me a comment on my sheep question🙂 Someone earlier on in the comments mentioned that they were called a.. “Gimmer” if female. However you’re absolutely right as I’ve just googled it, a “Weather” is a young male sheep. Every day is a learning day for me🙂 Thanks for giving the video a watch, I hope you enjoyed it and thanks again for taking the time out to drop me a comment. All the very best Mike

Hi Kim, Yes I’m sure you would be fine on this route. Plenty of places along the route to stop and rest and fill up water container if you use a water filter so I don’t see you having too much of a problem with it. Lovely route with wonderful views along the way. It’s a very popular route so try if you can to do it during the week or out of school holidays season. Allow for around 4 hours in good weather. Hope this helps. Happy hiking and thanks for watching the video🙏 Mike.

Many thanks for your reply. I will definitely be doing it now and also be going on a week day, probably in September. Thanks Kim.

@@TheKimgower You’re welcome. You will have a fantastic time.!! Enjoy🙂

Hey, The map I used in this video is the The English Lakes, OS Explorer OL6, South-Western Area. You should be able to find it on Amazon or at any outdoor shop. Hope this helps. Thanks for giving the video a watch. Mike.

Awww you’re more than welcome fella. Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Thanks for giving it a watcharoo🙂 All the very best Mike

Hey Z, Yea I was using a Canon R6 for this little video. Well spotted.!!👀👍

@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors I presume we can expect HDR content soon then as you production looks out of this world on my stupidly oversized 75" QLED HDR 4k Dolby Atmos all singing TV.

@@mrz5705 Haha I don’t know about HDR but maybe more 4K. I only have an old HD telly. I can’t bring myself to get rid of it for a 4K one just yet, not while it’s still ticking along nicely. Must be like sitting in a Cinema in you house.!!!🥤🍿🙂

Awww thanks for the kind words🙏 Glad you got to do the route. It is a fantastic summer walk. Yes it can be very windy up there over the winter. Hope you had a dead cat on your microphone🙉 All the very best Mike

Awww thank you Paul🙏 Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time out to give it a watch, it’s very much appreciated. Happy hiking Mike

Hey fella, It’s on the north rim just past Seal Rocks on the way to Fairbrook. If you’re planning on a night out under it, do it on a night with no wind or a wind coming from the south west. Thanks for watching All the best Mike

@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors many thanks, im struggling the find it, do you mean fairbrooke naze? And are we approaching from the left or right we ate starting our quest at kinder downfall.

@@15DAVIDYOUNG If you’re coming from the Downfall, you would go past Fairbrook Naze. It’s along Seal Edge roughly 500 m before you arrive at Seal Stones.

@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors nice one, many thanks, all the best.

@@15DAVIDYOUNG You’re welcome. Watch out for the sheep👀 Have a great time🙂

Hi Matt, The section I was on in this video was the section between Bottom Flash and Top Flash and a little bit beyond Top Flash🙂

Was that upstream then?

Yes Marium, It’s a very peaceful place to sit for a while🙂 Thank you for giving the video a watch. It’s very much appreciated🙏 Happy hiking Mike

Hey Harv, Yea it’s a wonderful route. You will have a great time. Hope the weather is good for you🤞 Thanks for giving the video a watch it’s very much appreciated🙏 Happy and safe hiking Mike

Hey thanks for watching🙏 Yea it was a great trip out. You always pretty much get the place to yourself over on the north side of kinder. Yes the sunrise made up for the poor sunset the night before🙂 All the very best. Mike

Hi Rowan, Thanks for the comment🙂 I personally don’t see it any harder or dangerous than Sharp Edge. So if you were quite ok with SE then you should be ok with JR. There is a dodgy step across that has to completed but after that it’s pretty much ok. There maybe a little bit more climbing involved than Sharp Edge but most of it is inside a small gully. Just make sure you do it on a very dry day as there is always a bit of seepage out of the rock. Thanks for watching my video, I hoped it helped🙂 Happy hiking Mike

Hey Noel, Thanks for giving the video a watch. Yea it’s a steep descent down from the top. My knees were hurting a bit when I arrived at the bottom. Yes the old buildings were very interesting. A lot of history there for sure.!! I love Hawaii.!! I visited Oahu a number of years ago, loved every moment I was there.!! Thank you so much for dropping me an Aloha, it made me remember my visit. All the very best my friend Mike🙂

Thank you🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it🙂 Happy hiking Mike

@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors going up there tomorrow 👍

@@stek2190 Excellent.!! Hope you have a fantastic time and you get better weather than I did on that occasion. Enjoy.!!🙂 Stay safe Mike

@@FurrychalkbagOutdoors thanks mate 👍

Thanks Dianna🙏 Haha yea it’s a big old backpack😃 It’s a special one for camera equipment. It has a lot of foam padding inside to help protect the equipment. That’s why it looks so big🙂 Thank you for giving the video a watch. I’m glad you enjoyed it🙂 Happy hiking Mike

Thank you Dave🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking of splitting it into four parts as it is a very long video. Thank you again for taking the time out to give it a watch🙏🙂 Mike

Thank you so much David for your kind words🙏 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. It was a fantastic few days and I’m extremely happy that I was able to capture my time in the area on video. I did really get lucky with the weather on this occasion. You’re absolutely right, the drone certainly did help get to the hard to reach areas. Thankfully I didn’t hit anything while filming the fern covered castle or the cemetery😰 It would’ve been a nightmare trying to get it back😬 Thanks again for watching and for dropping me a comment, it’s very much appreciated🙏 All the very best🙂 Mike
