  • Hiking the Wainwrights - S4-Ep04: Lingmoor & Blea Tarn
    I say these words a lot: "this is a really special one" but this REALLY is 😂 Join me on this emotional wander around what is arguably the most beautiful and iconic part of the Lake District. We take in the mountain splendour at Blea Tarn before making our way up onto the 'heather-covered moor' (Lingmoor) to enjoy the breathtaking beauty as we meander along 'The Great Wall of Lingmoor'.
    This one IS special!

    I can’t thank you enough for taking us along on these beautiful hikes which we could never manage. Love listening to your detailed and comprehensive commentary from the heart. You really capture the majesty and glory of the Fells and we are privileged to share in that. 😊🙏🏻

    I have decided that Glenn should do audio books, maybe spooky stories of hauntings from the beautiful area he shows us in his videos. I'll never understand why he so often apologises in his videos for 'waffling on' as he says. As far as I'm concerned I love that lovely deep voice. Audio books would be totally awesome and very soothing.
    Thank you for another lovely walk Glenn and adorable Finfinn. ❤

    After watching this I took my son to the Lakes and we tried this route. Fantastic day. I’d taken screenshots of the route but couldn’t work out Side Pike and came down before it. Watched again on our return and saw where we’d gone wrong so are going to try again, as you suggest, when the heathers out in the summer.
    I would like to say your videos are superb. Very inspiring and funny. I work at a school with an ASD in my class who won’t leave the classroom at dinnertime. I stay in with him and started watching your videos on the big whiteboard. He’s now glued to them and won’t allow anything else on.
    He was an elective mute at the start of the year and now I can’t shut him up! An amazing change in him and I think the catalyst was bonding over your videos. So thank you very much for all your work it’s much appreciated.

    I teared up just before you did and before you mentioned it - that view it conjured up so many happy family memories with my dear late wife who died last year. Such a strong emotional connection with Lakes after so many stays over the years and being our favourite place in the world. Not been able to visit for a while so seeing your videos gives me my fix - although its not the same as being there is it? Going next week and cant wait!

    Thank You for sharing the sunshine, your sweet Finn-meister, your herdy 'hello', your silhouette wave, your waffle, your trek, and your sentiment. You had me chillin', and spillin', when you ran your 'B' roll. Magnificent footage! 😊💚 I'm so happy for you that your toe didn't trouble you.

    Well, what can I say about this channel, it's absolutely amazing, our son Wesley Morgan put us on to your channel one week ago as we are all keen walkers, we live in Barrow so not far from the lakes so on our door step, we can't stop watching your videos as every one we see we have done but still love to see them, we've done all the tops and wainwright, outer fells and we still enjoy seeing them, so I would just like to thank you so much for your videos as there well though out, such beautiful memories for us, keep doing what your doing and might even meet you on one some day!!! 🙏👌😁X

    We incorporate Blea Tarn and Gt. Langdale in a walk starting Elterwater, Skelwith and Colwith Force, south of Langdale Tarn, Blea Tarn, down to the campsite and follow Cumbrian Way to Elterwater. With a few ups and downs along the way, it's surprising how many feet you climb in the day. Agree 100% that the views from Side Pike are stunning

    Some of the best scenery in The Lakes. We did that walk, albeit the other way round, about 6 years ago. Took some of my best photos. Only issue we had was on getting down to Blea Tarn Cottage, went to put the dog on the lead to go along the road.....no lead! Had to back track up to Lingmoor Fell where we'd eaten our lunch, fortunately found it but the trek back up was painful!

    Good morning Glenn and Finn, after seeing this video I decided to treat my other half, with a dodgy knee, to a ride out to the Lakes. Little Langdale with a stop at the Three Shires Inn for lunch, highly recommended, then to Blea Tarn for an easy going walk. The feeling of calm and wonderment was just as you described and two of the best hours we have experienced in a long time.
    Thank you Glenn.

    Beautiful walk and I loved the shots of the Langdales and the Mickledon Valley. Here's hoping I experience it myself when walking the Cumbria Way in a few years. Can't wait.
    I noticed in your last video you were huffing and puffing quite a bit, but on this one not so much, so seems like you're getting your fitness back to what it was. It doesn't take long and with all these hikes, I'm sure you're in good shape. 💪
