- A circular walk in the Lake District covering five Wainwright Fells.
The walk starts from the village of Mungrisdale in the Northern Lake District and first heads up to Souther Fell (522m) before heading to Scales Tarn and then up to Blencathra (868m) After enjoying the fantastic views from Blencathra we then head over to Mungrisdale Common (633m) We then follow the grassy path to Bannerdale Crags (683m) The views from Bannerdale Crags are superb. Our final fell is Bowscale Fell (702m) From Bowscale Fell we follow the ridge back down to the village of Mungrisdale with a view down to Bowscale Tarn as we head down.
Distance is around 11 miles.
Great film, Blencathra is one of my favorites
Thanks. This was a great walk with some great views. Blencathra is also up there as one of my favourites, the views are superb, and a number of different routes up. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Beaten to the summit by a sheep 🐑 ha ha.... love the arrows showing the way down!
Hi Vince, not sure what time the sheep set off from Mungrisdale, but he/she was waiting at the summit of Souther Fell for us, ha, ha! ! We both enjoyed this walk with Blencathra being the highlight. Great views from Blencathra and throughout the walk. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Love the content of all your walks, Great Depression busters.
Hi Paul, thanks for the positive comments, really appreciate it. We have been doing a lot of walking in the Cheviots in recent weeks but not been filming, I intend to get some videoing done on the walks in the coming weeks. Are you Paul I know from RM, really good to hear from you if it is. Hope all is well with you? Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
What a magnificent view of Blencathra from Bannerdale Crags. Hoping to get up there soon, nice clear paths, looks like a good one. Thanks for posting another walk, all the best to you both.
Thanks Peter, yes I agree it is a great view looking to Blencathra from Bannerdale Crags. We both really enjoyed this walk, great views all the way. It is definitely a walk we would do again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes from both of us.
Awesome route and on the back of this excellent guide I'll be heading to the lakes tomorrow to do it and to wild camp somewhere along the way. Thanks so much for the content Eddie.
Adge.
Thanks Adge. It is a really good walk with some great views. Quite a long day, but well worth the effort. Thanks again for watching and commenting and for the positive feedback, it is much appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Taking a few minutes off work to watch this Eddie 😆. Awesome 💚 super relaxing music in the background & brilliant Tour information as always ⛰ 🙏
Thanks Andy. We both really enjoyed this walk and had a great day. Great views throughout the walk. Not sure what Wainwright was thinking when he added Mungrisdale Common to his list though! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Did this about 6 weeks ago my 1st big hike, on my own with the dog. Weather was stunning. I just did Blencathra only I absolutely loved it.
Hi Julie. That's great, sounds like you and your four legged friend had a great day. Blencathra is a great fell with superb views. I bet your dog loved it as much as you did! Pleased you had great weather, it makes such a difference. Great to hear you have done Blencathra on your own with your dog. Thanks for watching & telling me about your adventure. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie
Cracking hike that Eddie, that's tough going 11 mile climbing mountains n fells🏔🏔, as always love how you describe the route in good detail, some epic views,in a beautiful part of the lakes, love it, atb Mick 👍
Thanks Mick. It was a great walk with some great views. We both enjoyed the day. Apart from seeing a few people on Blencathra, we hardly saw anyone all day. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Another great hike and video Eddie, you always seem to have good weather and amazing views on your hikes 🙂Planning this route for next weekend but in the opposite direction hopefully the weather will be kind 🤞Thanks again for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them with us, always appreciated. 👍
Thanks Karl. It was a cracking day with superb views throughout the walk. The weather certainly helped make it even better! Fingers crossed for good weather when you do these fells. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Your usual high standard of video and concise commentary Eddie, most useful for those who want to tackle the route.......tremendous views throughout.......you were right about the views to Blencathra from Bannerdale, gives a cracking perspective. We wont mention the weather lol.......cracking video Eddie, well done to you both....ATB.....Stu.....👌👍.
Thanks Stu. This was a cracking walk with really good views throughout the walk. The weather certainly helped make the day even better, lol! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Superb hike again Eddie, and great weather as per! Love the views of Blencathra from Bannerdale, wish I had your energy to hike that sort of distance👍👍
Thanks Anthony. It was a great day and the weather certainly helped. I agree with you, the view of Blencathra from Bannerdale Crags was really good and you don't normally see it from that angle. Hope you are keeping well. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie, I did the same walk but in reverse last September - stunning.
Hi David, thanks. Yes it is a really good walk with some cracking views. We both had a great day and it is a walk we would definitely do again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Cracking fell...a superb day out....Nice to hear someone pronouce Souther fell correctly
Thanks Steven. We both really enjoyed this walk, great views from Blencathra and throughout the walk. We had a great day. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Hi Eddie. I did this walk the other way around minus Blencathra back in June. I thought the view from Bowscale Fell looking to Bannerdale Crags & Blencathra was superb & had me humming the theme tune to 'The Big Country' for some reason. Also loved the detour to Mungrisedale common - even on a warm summers day there was no-one else there. Great video.
Thanks Michael. Yes I agree the view from Bowscale Fell was really good. Like yourself, we hardly saw anyone all day with the exception of one or two people on Blencathra. It was a really nice walk and one we would definitely do again. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is really appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

£2 a day parking is canny mind and a walk I have been meaning to do for a while as I have only done Blencathra there. Good to see you got better views than we got at the summit of Blencathra and I have only ever had one completely clear view from there, despite doing it numerous times. Looked a great path over the Mungrisdale Common but what a disappointing summit, if you can call it that. Looked a long walk but what a great one! Cheers Alan
Hi Alan, we had a bit of cloud on Blencthra, but can't complain as the views were still really good. It is a really good walk, but as you have mentioned Mungrisdale Common is a very poor summit. Not sure why Wainwright picked that one as part of his 214? We both enjoyed the day and it is a walk we would definitely do again. Thanks for watching & commenting Alan, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Picture perfect day again Eddie ..did the same walk last year ... lovely walk and not over run with people ..ATB Andrew ⛰️👍
Hi Andrew, yes I agree, a really nice walk and apart from one or two people on Blencathra, we hardly saw anyone all day. Definitely a walk we would do again. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Terrific video Eddie - it brought back lots of memories for us having done these summits in the past - but not all in one go! You certainly had a great day for it. All the best to Carol and yourself 👍
Thanks David. It was a cracking walk with great views. We had a great day and the weather certainly helped. Hope you are both well. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is always appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes to Sue and Yourself.
@@eddiecaisley5746 you're very welcome Eddie, always enjoy watching your videos. I've posted a new music video yesterday, I'd be interested to read your comments. All the best, David 👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi Just watched your Eve of the War cover, superb David!
Many thanks Eddie, very much appreciated 🎶🎹👍
Another cracking flog pal think them bloody sheep are to fit for us humans beat any man up the top hahaha classic views when you were coming off blencathra there good old hike too well done to you 2 nice day plenty coffee and views like that what more ould you ask for brilliant mate I'm trying to do a mental store map in my head lol from the vid mate do you think it would be a good mountain bike route within reason like 👍
Thanks again, yes I agree, we can't compete with the local sheep for speed and agility when on the fells, ha! This was another cracking walk with superb views. We both had a great day. I think some of the route could be done on a mountain bike, but that sounds like too much like hard work for me, ha! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Cheers. Eddie.
Great video Eddie. I had miserable weather when I did most of those fells so it was nice to actually see the views!! Brought back lots of great memories.
I finished the 214 recently and my next goals are the Outlying Fells and the Howgills.
Also enjoyed watching Grahams Cheviots video where you were the local guide. Brilliant stuff. So many lovely areas in the UK :-)
Thanks Eddie
Hi Alan. Congratulations on completing all 214 Wainwrights, a great achievement. This was a really nice walk with some great views, you will have to do these fells again in better weather to get the views, ha! I enjoyed walking with Graham & the rest of the gang in the Cheviots, we did some good walks. You are right, so many nice parts of the UK to explore. Thanks again Alan for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Funny enough I did a very similar walk from Mungrisdale to Blencathra a couple of months ago. I’d definitely recommend walking Blencathra from this starting point and it’s easy to cut out Souther Fell and Bowscale if you prefer less climbing and distance. Cracking video Eddie, many thanks.
Hi Jon, thanks. This was a great walk and definitely one we would do again. We had some great views throughout the walk in good weather. I agree with you, walking to Blencathra on it's own from Mungrisdale would be another good route. I will have to give it a go sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 thanks Eddie, take care.
Hi Eddie not seen you out and about for a bit so was great to watch this video of you both out enjoying yourselves. Super photos along the tops there with amazing views over Scales Tarn and along Sharp Edge. Both my children are up this weekend, they both live down south so don't get to see enough of them really. Had it planned for us copy your Fleetwith Pike/Haystacks and your Kirk Fell/Great Gable video walks but the weather looks terrible. Sod's Law eh! The weather looks like it will brighten up after Monday so I'll maybe get them to stay the week. Thanks for posting Eddie, it's always good to watch and get great ideas for different walks. All the best David
Hi David. I have had a bit of a break from CZcams. Been out walking, but not been filming. Getting back in to the videos now. This was a great walk with some brilliant views. We both had a great day. Good that your children are coming up to see you. You should ask them to stay the week so you can get the walks done, it will be great memories for you all. Thanks again for watching & commenting David, it is always appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes. Cheers. Eddie.

@@eddiecaisley5746Hi Eddie, Hi Carol, well it took a year but we finally got round to doing this route last Saturday, it was wonderful and we had similar weather to you too. My word the final bit off Raven Crag in to Mungrisdale was steep. 🤣🤣
@@DAoutdoors Hi Dave, it is a really good route with some great views. You are right about the last bit coming down at the end of the walk, I remember it being steep with loose scree/gravel. Pleased you had a good day. Take care & Best Wishes from us both.
Another great video Eddie. Just watched it this morning and already getting my boots out to do it sometime this week. I've done most of them before but alas not in the sunshine so views have been usually grey clouds! Take care and hope to meet up with you again sometime,
Thanks John, it is a cracking walk with some great views, definitely a walk we would do again. It was good to catch up with on the Newton Tors walk and would be good to meet up with you again sometime. Hope you had a good holiday and got away with no problems. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Fantastic video, Eddie, and a big hike. As ever you got the weather, superb views, and almost all to yourselves. We did part of it and loved Scales Tarn, though it's quite a climb up from there. At the top we took your path but didn't go to Mungrisdale Common. Instead we turned right down the valley. Nice cheap car park too always helps. You took some great photos on the tops, loved the view down Sharp Edge, but don't think I could climb it. Glad you are both keeping your fitness up!! Regards, Ashley.
Hi Ashley, thanks. This was a great walk with some superb views. The weather certainly helped, although it wasn't our usual blue skies, there was a bit of cloud, ha! You are right about the climb up from Scales Tarn, it was quite steep in places. There was quite a few heading over Sharp Edge when we had our coffee at Scales Tarn. A good walk to test or fitness!! Hope you are maintaining your fitness ready for your trip over in September? Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 Did a forest walk today with a friend, not with Andrea, and did 24k so fitness work is going well. Might even get a video out of it!!
@@ashleyjarnold 24k !That sounds quite a walk Ashley. You will be running up Scafell pike at this rate! I will look out for the video. Cheers. Eddie.

Great video Ed. Was about to message you as I was wondering if all was ok, you not having posted for a while. Nice view of Cross Fell my last video. I’ve still got a sore foot after my broken toe healed. 😞
Hi Pete. Thanks. I have been having a bit of a break from CZcams. Done a few walks over the past couple of months, but did not do any filming. I will have a look at your recent adventures as I enjoy watching your videos. I bet you are gutted about your foot, that broken toe sounded painful! Thanks again Pete for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Hi Eddie, thank you for sharing your wonderful video. Beautiful views and great weather! We always enjoy watching your walks. Any idea what the total ascent was for this walk?
Hi Lynn. Thank you for the kind comments, it is appreciated. This was a great walk with stunning views from Blencathra and throughout the walk. We both had a great day. I have the total ascent for this walk as 3161ft (963m) Thanks again for watching & commenting. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
@@eddiecaisley5746 Hi Eddie, thank you so much for your quick reply and answer to my question. Looking forward to seeing and enjoying more of your walks. 😃

Great little video, really enjoyed watching 🙏🏼😁 I'm not the bestbon the world with heights and some days (normally when im tired) it just gets the better of me and I end up having to come down for a while if I can't be bothered to have the battle with anxiety 🙄 most of the time I can push through though. I have a 6 hour drive from London to get there so I'm a little concerned that should I have a bad day if there are other walks around and I could come off the ridge and just have an explor around? It looks so beautiful 🙏🏼 in other words are there other lower level walks around that range or is it just the path you have in the video? Thank you so much 🙂
Hi, thanks for the kind comments. This is a great walk with some superb views, we both enjoyed the day. There are a number of lower level walks in this area. There is a really nice walk heading through the valley up to Scales Tarn. A really nice place to spend some time. Another low level walk starting a bit further along takes you on the Cumbria Way, a nice path heading below the fells. The low level walks are well worth doing as they also give great views and plenty of interest along the way. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
Love the footage you get Eddie, I'm sure you've been asked this a thousand times but what camera are you using? Both video and still shots look cracking.
Thank you. This was a really good walk with great views. I use a GoPro Hero 8 for the video shots and a Nikon D5600 for the still shots. I use a wide angle lens on the Nikon camera. I record the Go Pro footage using a flat colour profile on the Go Pro. This allows a bit more flexibility when editing the footage to try and get a more natural look. ( I am still experimenting with the settings) I find the Go Pro standard footage tends to be over saturated and high in contrast. Sorry for the long winded reply, hope it helps. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie.
Great to see you back but could help us spread the word the lake national park is not camp site it night wild camping from 5 pm to 9 am climbing up the fell to pitch tent for the week is not wot wild camping is inthe lakes as the park authority are under pressure to stop wild camping. Because it be abused and rubbish is pile up because of these people ! Also. It is mountain it cool or freezing up the fell side this year I had 3 case lost people or dangerous equipment failure leaving people lives risk taking water protect clothing every day in these temperatures as mountain rescue is under pressure as there is I believe only one helicopter to find you when your lost or fall ! Remember the Lake District national party has become more dangerous because the lack support of the raf been stop from search for your in crisis so don’t put any pressure on the guys onthe mountain who have to pull up the slack of budget cuts by government in rescue response ! Sorry my friend it’s great to hear from you but had to be said I now carry rescue flares in my back pack this year because of my experience of the hard working mountain rescue team work with out the support of government due to government cuts it makes life difficult for them could spread the word help them as they fight to save life’s in the national park
Thank you for watching. The Lake District & the fells should be respected by all of us. It is a beautiful part of the UK.
Thanks again. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.
