I've walked Scafell Pike many many times via a number of different routes, but never by the Corridor Route. It was about time I rectified this as Piers Gill, which is en-route, is somewhere I've been wanting to explore for quite some time. And boy am I glad I did!

The hike to Scafell Pike was worth it just to see Piers Gill, it's spectacular. The drone footage is great, always good to see a birds view.
Yours is the most beautiful CZcams page. Just every picture, every camera sweep--as you say Tolkien's Shire, I have persistent anxiety, but watching your work is healing ☺
I agree with the comment below...you're videos are excellent. I like your delivery. You talk with us rather than to us. Also you are providing an excellent reference and guide for us all. Lake District Tourism should be paying you royalties!
Brilliant video, that view from Piers Gill is sublime, it's now on my to do list. Thanks. :)
Been watching all your most recent vlogs and amazing to see how far you have progressed. I did this route Sunday 19th March. So many paths from the corridor route to explore.
I just discovered your channel this week and your videos are amazing quality - documentary standard . Really enjoying watching them as I plan an autumn trip to the lakes. Thanks
Brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Stunning views and very informative.
Loved this vlog buddy , I love the way you pin point all the Fells and Pikes etc , it's great attention to detail . Can't wait for the next one 🙏
Thanks very much Brian, really pleased you enjoyed it. I thought it might be useful to highlight places so I'll probably continue to do so in future vlogs :-)
..our Earth is such an amazing adventure... wonderful pausing and Path taken....so glad!!
Another great video Glenn, your knowledge of the peaks amazes me. Loved the drone footage too.
Thanks so much Denise 😊🙏
Seriously that was just the best. Well documented and enjoyable, I was going to ask about the route and you linked it, spot on. I'm hoping to do it soon. Thanks for sharing
Thanks very much for watching 😊
Gotta be your best vlog yet. Thanks for sharing the route. 👍
Thank you David, chuffed to bits you enjoyed it!
Absolutely stunning, I climbed Scafell Pike a few months ago via wasdale but will have to try this one. Again the drone shots are amazing 👏
Great videos mate! Love to see places that are not so popular & so stunning. You're putting so much hard graft in it... keep it going 👍
Thanks very much Andrew, really pleased you enjoyed it 😊🙏
This is so amazing, the content is so high quality
Thank you very much, greatly appreciated. Just need to fix the irritating focus issues and remember to take my gimbal in future 😁
Jaw dropping cinematography and views mate. Massively inspiring stuff
Thanks very much Ciaran, really pleased you enjoyed it mate!
It puzzles me how you only have 900+ subscribers mate your videos are really well made.
Keep up the good work.
I always love your vlogs and always see and learn something new but this vlog was something else. You surpassed yourself in this vlog, I thought it was absolutely bloody fantastic and made me so homesick and emotional and so appreciative of what I have to look forward to in a few years when we move back. Give Finn a belly rub from me and thank you for always making such an awesome vlog, you should really be doing a UK series for nat geo they are that good. 🤗
Thank you so much Mirry, really means a lot that you enjoy what I'm doing.
Great photography. Often wondered about the views from the top, now I know thank you.👍😃
Great video. I've just started hiking and wild camping. This is my next adventure so great for research.
Love the looming mountains. Very interesting. And thanks for the route.

Peter.
Wow. Fantastic video. Absolutely loved that. Amazing images and soundtrack 😎👍
Cracking vlog, I completely agree Piers Ghyll being the show stopper where as Scafell is an accomplishment without benefits. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. I took a similar route last year but I went from Stockley bridge up the left side towards Styhead Tarn adding Great End to it too as summer daylight hours allowed. You've got a sub.
Thanks so much Mark, really pleased you liked it! Ah, OK, so you went up the way I came down, great stuff :-)
Stunning view 💙
Great video mate, love it
Excellent mate 👍. Great bit of footage walking by Styhead Tarn with reflection + the piers ghyll & scafell pike footage fantastic 👍. "Loomage" excellent 👍
Thanks very much Will, appreciate you watching it bud. A wild camp up around Piers Gill would be amazing. Especially mid summer as the sun would probably set over Kirk Fell 🙌
Cheers mate! Very informative & might copy this route step by step this wknd!
Thanks very much 😊 hope you managed to get out and do it 🙌
Excellent video. Really like the way you label the landscape.
Thanks very much 😊 🙏
Fantastic video. Thanks, excited to get up there now!
Thank you! That's great to hear, hope you get up there soon 🤞
One of the best Ive seen of this route, great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks very much.... Thinking of going back and redoing this one 😊
@@BlackCrag fantastic drone footage too, weather conditions have to be half decent to capture that. Ive not been up there for a few months, youve inspired me to drag my missus out there this weekend 😂
Do it! 🙌😂
Really hope your channel takes off your photography is stunning great vlogs 👌👏👏
Thank you very much, that really means a lot 🙏 Got a whole load of ideas for future vlogs as well as tips videos etc 👍
Beautiful view fresh air 😍 👌 💕
Hi mate just watched this video as yesterday I did the corridor route. Only difference was I did Lingmell and Great End with it. I didn't know at first but I follow you on Instagram Black Crag, i always recognise that name. Really enjoyed the video especially around Piers Gill. Over the moon to see you got a whole load of video's I can watch can't wait to get stuck into them 👍 Great stuff.
Just great video - didnt even skip any bits
F....Ng awesome piers gill.
Was on Yewbarrow yesterday,need to go there👍
Thank you.
Excellent vid
Just discovered your channel. Love the vlog, great shots and the drone footage is amazing. Just subscribed 👍🏼
Thank you so much, really appreciate that 😊 🙏
smashed corridor yersterday in the wet and cold, it was beautiful, as my first ever summit! looking forward to helvelyn next. then to snowdon, nevis, then 3 peaks for dementia charity
Great video mate. The views looked stunning! I was thinking where is Finn! Haha
Thanks bud, really appreciate that. It was an awesome day in all respects. Finn would have expired had I taken her 😂
That was Epic! Me and the wife wild camped at Sprinkling Tarn back in July it was about 28° must have been about 35 people doing the same thing! Love the drone footage! Keep up the fantastic work👍
Thanks very much Richard, glad you liked it mate. I bet that camp was a challenge with all those people there, urgh!
@@BlackCrag ha ha so true! It was the wife's first wild camp, think she found it reassuring that other people had the same idea! Great Gable looked so majestic from our camping spot😉!
Spot on !!
Thank you 😊
My partner and I are scaling Scafell on the 12th Sept for the very 1st time, using your vids as inspiration 😎
That's really great to hear, thank you so much 😊🙏 Which route are you taking?
Seathwaite (I’ve sent you a more in-depth email...)
Excellent video You clearly had the weather with you that day. Have you thought about Scar fell via Piers Gyll? Makes for an epic scramble!
Hello mate. We ended up at Sprinkling Tarn the other night. There were a few other tents but what a nice place
Ah, that's brilliant! Hope you had a good time, perfect camping spot 😍
Beautiful filming, but it helps that it's the most breathtakingly beautiful part of England.
Blimey Glenn - I've found a video of yours that we haven't watched! I was looking for a guide to how sketchy the Corridor Route is (Louise hates exposed edges)... and up you popped from four years ago 🙂
Eek, that's an old one! Was just up there the other week guiding Gareth (fellow Chieftain) and his wife Laura on that exact route.....well, nearly. We added Lingmell too 😊
Great video! Found your CZcams channel from your insta, should definitely post on your insta about your vlogs! Such great quality videos should be shared
Thanks very much man, really appreciate it. I normally post up a shortened version onto IGTV with a note that the full version is on CZcams. Not sure many people watch IGTV so I might just do stories instead, like you say 👍
A much better day for it than when I attempted it 🤪 Maybe dinosaurs just aren't cut out for climbing? 🤔 🦖
Great video. I’m surprised you’ve not had more views! Nick and I are heading up to the Lake District next weekend and want to take our 7 month old with us up Scarfell Pike. Not to sure if it’s a good idea though. What’s the quickest route up do you think and how long would it take?
I don't see why you couldn't take your baby up, so long as he/she is warm, dry and protected from any tubes you might make. Quickest way is from Wasdale Head. If you're on Instagram DM me and I'll send over a route 👍 And thank you 😊🙏
*tumbles. Not tubes 😂
Awesome vid, production value is top notch! Enjoyed watching. How do you find the fstop backpack?
Thanks very much man. Had quite a few focusing issues with my phone which should be fixed next time 👍The F-stop is brilliant, couldn't imagine life without it to be honest. Took years of trying out all sorts of ideas but this bag just addresses every issue 👌
Loomage - I will probably end up using that, quality!
Haha, thank you..you can't beat a spot o' loomage :-)
I'm finally up to date with all the videos so I hope there'll be something coming along soon. Need my fix.
Haha, thanks Rob, chuffed you're enjoying them.....one being uploaded as we speak :-)
@@BlackCrag Excellent I'm on it.
3:52
Any new vids coming for 2020?
I dont know about you but Lingmell looks more impressive than scafell pike. We also tried to reach pillar from wasdale up black scar I think it's called but you have to cross a "stream" which was not passable after the rain the day before.
Lingmell definitely is far more impressive than SP. I love the place 😍 My next vlog will be around Pillar so keep an eye out 😁
@@BlackCrag look forward to that!. While I'm on the subject of pillar is there any other route up other than from the wasdale side? Ive looked at the OS maps and I'm struggling to find a good route up. I'm from yorkshire, I'm gathering from your accent you are too and I hate the drive to wasdale haha too long for my liking. So glad I came across your channel. Very impressive videos. Your love for the lakes clearly shines through.
