- A great days hiking from Grasmere up to Easedale Tarn, on up to Codale Tarn and then Stickle Tarn, before making it a circular walk back to Grasmere.
I also met Lakeland and CZcams legend Eric Worsley, who was one fine fellow indeed!
Check out Eric’s excellent CZcams channel jonathancraigguides.

Eric has also produced several superb walking guides, for short walks around the Lake District.

Top video Alan. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting you. It certainly was a superb day, spoiled only by the dark cloud around lunch time. Not long after saying goodbye to you I met another chap who told me he had got wet from a short, sharp shower whilst on Pavey Ark, so I was well pleased it had cleared through and brightened up by mid afternoon. It was certainly very warm and pleasant as I sat by Stickle Tarn a bit later on. I love the relaxed style of your videos. Your passion for enjoying the splendour of the fells shines through. Take care. All the very best. Eric.
jonathancraigguides - Thanks very much Eric, much appreciated. I sent your map back yesterday, First Class Recorded Delivery, so I hope you got it OK. Cheers Alan
Yes, thank you for that. It arrived safely today. Just watched your Place Fell video. Loved it. About time I got back up there I think. It's been a couple of years since I last did it. I have a feeling that you shot that on the day I shot my Silver Howe video. A cracking day weather wise.
Back end of March this year Eric, set off about 08.00 from Patterdale and it was -3, when I got to the top it was +15, what a day lol. Cheers Alan
Hi Alan yet another winner my friend,lovely scenery.really enjoyed walking with you,keep em coming,thanks for the brilliant commentary.
William Wiseowl - Cheers buddy, apart from a few hairy bits it was a brilliant day out and we actually got some sun as well lol. Cheers Alan
This is what I call the absolute perfection! Dear Alan, the nature, your naration, a specific charm and great info made this video an astonishing experience for all the senses! Thanks for sharing dear friend! You did a phenomenal job! Thumbs up guys!
Archaeology And Travel With Zorica - Thank you so much for your very kind words Zorica, I really appreciate it. It was one of my favourite days out last year and I hope I get more like then in 2018. Thank you for watching Zorica, cheers Alan
Alan - looks like you had a great day and it didn't look too busy. We were in Patterdale on Saturday and it was heaving! Nice to see Eric, a true Lake District legend. Loving the photos, you're getting quite good you know.
Thanks for your comments on my photos Chris, that means a lot coming from you! Cheers Alan
Alan
Looks like a great days walking, I can't believe you bumped into Eric, he's a hidden gem of Lakeland information.
I think at this rate we are all going to know each other when we pass on the fells!
Regards
James
Wasdale Man - Thanks James and it was brilliant bumping into Eric, what a great lad he was as well. I have watched so many of his videos and done so many of his walks, I could not believe it when he was walking towards me lol! Cheers Alan
Wow that was a fantastic day for a lakeside walk. That lake was glassy still. Amazing, and all to yourself too. You gotta take time to stop, Alan. Soak in those views and get your breathe back!
Summit Or Nothing - yep I hit on the weather OK, I woke up at 05.30, saw the forcast and was on the road at 06.10. Mrs Metalman wondered where I was when she woke up lol!
great upload Alan enjoyed the scenery - like 41 with a full view as always all the best Naomi & Mark
It was great to meet up with a Lakeland legend, mice you, he said the same! Cheers Alan
So far this has been my favorite!! I have watched nearly all I think of Eric's vids, put a big smile on my face to see him, such a nice guy, and true professional.. I was glad to here at last someone who admits to struggle with map and compass!! And your accident with the deeper than thought water, is me too.. I might try this walk or camp it in late March when I go up again... Must get fitter first.. Fantastic vid Sir..
Thanks very much and got to say, Eric was brilliant, we spoke for ages and he was exactly as he comes across on his videos, a real canny lad. Thanks very much for watching, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
A 10 minute snog at the gate. I wonder what happened on the summit....I can only guess. To think these Tarns are glacial - ice shaped that epic scenery. Thanks to the ice then. Your right about the videos Alan. I do that with my brother now...much has been recorded. Priceless! Well another priceless occurrence - that meeting. Gone over to his channel now. Many thanks. Fabulous Alan. Take care. Mark
Wye Explorer - Thanks Mark and I must admit I spent hours just sitting and looking at the views, the photos do not forget it justice. Eric was a great lad and we have watched his videos for ages, so well done and presented. Thanks for watching buddy. Cheers Alan
Enjoyed the video Alan ,Eric’s videos are a great watch ,I bet you were chuffed to meet him 👍
It was great Stephen, we chatted for ages and he was exactly as he is on his videos. An old video but one I always look back on with good memories. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment leave a comment, real nice of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Awesome video Alan!! Loved that you showed so much of the beautiful views so we could see them too. I could look at those landscapes all day long!! Thanks brother!! ATB Doug
Pinetree Line Outdoors - cheers Doug, dam nice of you to say that. Too much looking at this landscape is my downfall lol, not enough hiking. Cheers for watching buddy. ATB Alan
That was a stunning vid Mr Metalman! Beautiful scenery shots and a lovely narrative to boot (wet soggy boot). Always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Backpacks and Bruises - it was a really nice but long day and a bonus meeting Eric, real canny lad who produces superb guided Lakeland video walks. Much appreciated you watching and commenting ladies. Cheers Alan
Spectacular video! Fair weather camping is by far the most enjoyable. At least for me but respect to those who do the cold and wet. I do like the humor you put in your videos.
I haven't lost a map yet but I have lost a light jacket that had a couple are patches that I miss dearly. I will teach me to carry a jacket in a strap instead of tying it off to my pack.
Thanks for watching this Max, just seen it now that you did a year ago, sorry buddy, cheers Alan
Really spectacular scenery on that hike my friend!
Weekend Wanderer - Thanks very much, lucky to catch a real nice day, unsusal for this summer lol! Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan
Great video and in such a beautiful area thankfully the weather held up for you. as well as a big map we have a lake district map app on our phones so we can see where we are and paths etc incase of bad weather it's been a life saver. what a lovely man that's why we love walking meeting like minded folk. ATB Leona
Leona & Chris Pye - the app sounds a great idea and something I will have to look at. It was great weather but if it had not been, I may still be wondering about now looking for the path down lol. That's the first walk I have done where the path on the ridge just kept disappearing. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Another great video Allan enjoyed it loverly views in the Lake district no where like it cheers
j dee - thanks buddy, I got lucky with the weather but not my map lol! Thanks for watching, cheers Alan

Excellent hike Alan.............done easedale from Grasmere last summer and had intended to do what you did, unfortunately the Mrs could'nt handle it on the day......................definitely one to consider as a lone hike this year, really enjoyed this mate.....cheers,Stu.
Stu Bloggs - thanks Stu and funny enough, I had previously done it with the missus but when we got to Easdale Tarn, she had had enough as well lol. I had a brilliant day apart from losing the path several times and going knee deep in mud - all part of the fun lol. Thanks for watching buddy, cheers Alan

Life Adventures with Eric and Melissa - thanks Eric, that was a top day, one of my favourites from last year and meeting Eric,was the icing on the cake. Appreciate you watching Eric, cheers Alan
Is this amateur hour? Lost your map! Can't use a compass! Sucked into a bog! Bloody hell! Only Kidding Alan and I really did enjoy this fine video, very entertaining as always. Weather looked good as did the food and drink at the end. Great effort, well done. ⛺️ PS I've very little hair left to pull out.
LiveSimplyFilms Mountain Mike - LOL, aye, always trial and error when I go out. The weather was brilliant and I even got a free park in Grasmere - bonus! Cheers Alan
Watch this later, found you through Mike.. This is on my list to do.. :)
Real sorry it has taken me a year to reply but I have just seen this today. I hope you are well and keeping healthy, take care, cheers Alan
Continued... That's some absolutely smashing hills and mountains, those views really open up. Those moody clouds really make it picturesque at the end. Glad you managed to get rescued... Will check out Eric's channel for sure. Thanks for sharing this Alan.
Summit Or Nothing - he is a real canny lad and I have watched dozens of his videos, getting much information and ideas from him. Thanks for watching lads. Cheers Alan

Plenty of stops to rest and look and plod along thats all you need to do , i'm the same , i always get to the same spot as the fitter faster blokes get too lol. Your a good watch Alan , take care.

Scots Wildcamper - Thanks very much Eddie, I was disappointed I did not get last Tuesday and I remember you saying, in one of your last videos, about the need to do your 'tent time' but the thought of heavy rain all night..Agggh lol. Eric is a great lad, very knowledgeable and produces great guided walking videos. Cheers Alan

mark butler - Thanks Mark, it was a brilliant day, bit longer than I intended lol but real nice and great to bump into Eric. Cheers Alan
aye,been for a walk up silver howe with Eric,he`s a top fella,lotta knowledge that one Alan
I am going to have to stop watching your Video's Alan, You always manage to get my feet itching to get out there in the lakes and most of the time I know I can't as it's so far away from me here in the South East :-(. Nothing wrong with stopping for plenty of breathers Mate because as we all know, the day will come we will no longer get that chance to breath again ( oh that's a bit morbid, Sorry). Anyway it's all about the views and you will miss them if you rush. I envy your meeting with Eric. As you know i have been following his Channel for a while and I have chosen many a area to visit based on his great video's. I must say mate, you have some fantastic Pictures there, are they taken on a phone or pro camera, i think they are stunning. Keep up the great work mate, Love watching your adventures. ATB Jim
Cheers Jim mate and I use my Nexus 5X smartphone for all my still photos, it has a fantastic camera, much better that the 'proper' camera I bought a couple of years back. It was brilliant meeting Eric, a true gent and just like you, me and the missus have watched dozens of his videos and done walks based on his recommendations. ATB Jim, cheers Alan
Great film Alan, do you have any plans to head up Jacks rake ? Also I can't believe you got to meet Eric, great stuff.
ATB
Christian
Christian Rouse - thanks Christian and I would like to do Jack's Rake but not by myself. Eric was brilliant, it was an absolute pleasure to meet him. Thanks for watching, cheers Alan
Im Planning on doing it again this year (for the 5th time) with a friend who hasn't done it before, you'd be more than welcome along.
Just watched this again Alan... At the end of March, I'm doing my first ever wild camp, solo as well and for three nights/4 days... I'm thinking of walking to Codale for one night camp then head to the other Angle Tarn 2nd night at Keswick side... And then down and up to Stickle for my last night. I will be carrying some weight about 15-16 kilos, do you think its a good plan... Never done anything like this before... I will be taking my time as not super fit at all, and I am 60... Your advice would be appreciated...
Well I am 64 on Tuesday, so if I can, you can and two ideal spots foe a wildcamp, with Codale tarn being the quieter of the two. Bit of a pull for Easdale Tarn to Codale Tarn, so if Easdale tarn is quite, that is a great spot as well. Hope you get the weather buddy, cheers Alan
another canny yomp alan.is coledale tarn on your list for a wild camp ?. its been on mine for a while. atb geordie.
thegeordiefellwalker - to be honest at almost 63, I would never make Coledale Tarn with with my camping pack but Easdale Tarn definitely is, although a lot more popular. Thanks very much for watching buddy. Cheers Alan
