I feel you’re in a great place with your channel and unless I’m mistaken, your subscriber numbers seem to have really started to motor. I’m so pleased you’ve stuck at it Glenn, because it really feels like your efforts are paying dividends. Well done mate.

I am new to your channel but have binged watched s1 and 2 of walking the Wainwrights and a few others, so glad we are now on S3. What I also like is how you describe a good photograph. I have a camera and a few bits of gear to go with it but no idea! 😏 I now though find myself looking at trees, walls and gates and although I see the fells, I now really see the fells, so thanks for that. Your videos are informative and fun to watch, I think you now have yourself a new fanclub member. 🤣

Hi Glen ,this superb video has everything one could wish for....sublime!.... You are truly the modern day " Wainwright " that follows in the great mans footsteps. Keep up the good work for you bring comfort and joy into peoples lives who are afflicted / housebound and no longer able to roam the beautiful breathtaking landscapes we all know affectionately as the " Lake District ".....Alas. I to have succumbed to the ravages of time, but would attempt this hike with vigour and zest accompanied by my loyal German Shepherd dog ( " Princess ") and hopefully my sons ( " David " and " Matthew ") to render assistance as necessary to an old "crock".I wish you good health and fortune in your quest for solitude and inner peace .

Hi Glenn, love your videos. Watching from Aus here so the first couple videos I had no idea what you were talking about (language barrier) but was completely blown away with the Majestic scenery. I've now watched quite a few and researched all the place types, Fell, Pike, Crag, etc. Also seems like in the UK they name every bump or niche in the landscape. Very fascinating and lovely to watch. Your energy is so captivating. Nice and relaxing after a hard days work. Love them and will keep watching. Just wanted to say thank so much, for the lessons and hard work you've put into them. My partner even stops by the couch to watch multiple full episodes with me. He's just as captivated now as well. :)

We did this hike a couple of years ago and it was lovely! Came back the Eastern valley side which wasn't too bad actually after very slippy decent to church/ hostel! Saw a young deer on the top. Shame about all the fallen trees, so many it was heartbreaking to witness. Great video as always!

This is an area that always grabs me. Every time I drive through it I’m always rubber necking out the car window. Never know where to walk though. That part you’re on was spewing water off it a few weeks ago. I shall have to get up there. In fact, I stopped for a pint in Threkeld on Saturday and drove back through St Johns, looking up along there as I did. Little did I know you’d filmed along it.

Another great video, really enjoying these series on the Wainwrights. I usually go walking with my 68kg Newfoundland, I can just about manhandle him over normal styles, but ladder styles are obviously a no go, he’s also too big for the gaps with a vertical plank that can be raised to let dogs through. I’ve had a few walks spoilt by having to reroute due to these as I believe there’s no reference material on where styles are located when planning walks? Wondered if it’d be possible to point any out on future vids, or just mention that there are some on relevant walk? Be a massive help to all of us with big dogs as I don’t think anyone else points them out? Keep up the great work 👍🏻

I’m currently waiting for a knee operation and struggle doing much more than 5miles - most recent was Hartsopp Dodd and Caudale Moor which was incredible! But it killed me on the way down. I think this will be my next ahead of the op in September or October. Thanks again and keep doing your thing! Cheers.
