    Good morning Alan, wow the bird song that accompanied you at the start, fabulous! What a great looking walk, and that bunk house/cottage would be an amazing base camp for the family. Oooh no at the jackett/GP fail, soda law hey! Really loved the look of this path, and as always the amazing veiws.looked look an alien planet at the top, loved it! As Kats says some of these hills and mountains dont look like humans should be there, yet we ate drawn to them poles moths to a flame. No wonder you loved it Alan, cracking stuff. Dont think we fancy jogging it tho 🤭 much happy plodding and sipping teas. A route we would very much like to try one day, maybe our next trip up 🤗 like you we would likely start earlier, brilliant video as always, thanks Alan a great 8.5 miles! Big thumbs up, have a good week, Ceri and Kat ♥️☕👍⛰

      Thanks very much for watching guys and I love an early start, the drive over the Moors was brilliant, deserted roads and then a deserted car park when I got there. Never saw anyone for the first 3 hours almost, which suited me fine, so I could soak in all the views in peace. Only problem was I forgot it was the school holidays😖, so the Ullswater Way was real busy, which is why I climbed up again, still a real good day and funny enough when I was setting off for home there were cars still trying to get into the car park - madness! Cheers Alan

    Amazing views! Yes, the outdoor places are no longer places of solitude, busier than ever! Maybe it's a good thing. More people caring about these places means a better probability of them being preserved or conserved into the future. Thanks for sharing those stunning views!

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 3 lety

      My thoughts exactly and if I need solitude I go early, which I did on this one. I did forget it was school holidays mind😖, which made the afternoon a bit too busy for me. Thanks for stopping by, cheers Alan

A nice steady climb taking in the views as you go. Ya can't get better than that. Great walk info. Wow those views and so enthusiastic with those false summits. Grrrrr those false summits nothing worse lol. Your videos are just inspiring thank you for sharing. I always look forward to seeing them. Just awesome 👌

The morning was brilliant, didn't see anyone for about 3 hours but I forgot about the schools being off, so the afternoon was a lot busier, especially on the Ullswater Way. Take care, cheers Alan

  • @northeastfamilyadventures9186

    Bit of a solo walk this time Alan? Good thing for those breezes, you guys get zero shelter from that sun up there. Stunning views all around though, that's the benefit of no trees, you get good views and you get them nice and early through the whole hike almost. Nice to have the first half all to yourself at least. Makes these places just that extra special. "the higher you are, the better the views!" Love that mantra Alan. Super kickass hike, 8.5 miles is a great clip, you certainly worked for those views!

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 3 lety +1

      I was blowing at the end and totally forgot about the schools being on holiday, so the afternoon was a lot busier than the morning, when I hardly saw anyone. I set off from home at 04.30, so not many people want to come with me then 😁. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

    Whenever I do that route, taking the low path, I always call in to the café at Side farm for a brew and a slice of cake, with an ice cream to eat on the way back to Glenridding. First time I did it as a novice walker I was overtaken by a woman carrying her mountain bike!

    • @AlanMETALMAN
      @AlanMETALMAN  Před 3 lety

      Nothing worse Peter, happened to be umpteen times, huffing and puffing up a Fell and then an old woman jogs passed me😖. To be honest, if we get the streamer to Howtown and walk back, that's exactly what we do too, really missed it on this trip but good for my diet 😂.

    It’s very true, The higher you are , the better views you can see. Even the false summit looks very high already. What an amazing view up there. A little bit windy and maybe challenging with all those loose rocks.

    I’m well jealous Alan. Looks like I missed all of that sun when I was there last week. The views are spectacular on a clear day aren’t they?

    Hello Alan I was just thinking how peaceful it was looking up that fell when you mentioned it was getting busy on the path. I should imagine as the summer goes on it will be even busier in the Lakes . I must admit it is why the humans have not taken me there for a good number of years. Thats why I love to watch your videos . hopefully someday I will go there and maybe see you there ; ) Take care Teddy
