@juliesecker9405 3 ай бұрын

I agree this should be a tv series. The fells look absolutely stunning with the snow on them. The sheep as well, which goes with the scenery. Glen, you just have that voice which calms you down on a Sunday evening. Look so forward to your walks. Thank you. ❤

The 360 degree footage is world class. The music matches perfectly and the shots of Sca fell & Scafell Pike are absolutely unreal. Exposed rocks / crags plus snow with the light rolling over make the best views of the mountains. Some day!

Brilliant example! I was wowed by this video. The magnificence and splendour came across. Me personally as a 49 year old man, I ain’t going up any high fells in winter or Snow! Grateful for your wonderful efforts and your interning commentary

Oh Glenn, that was a good one. Makes me nervous watching you walk in the snow , never mind walking it my self. Well done. Mega.

What came out on the camera? Beauty. Loveliness and views that took my breath away. A Sunday without a marvelous Black Crag video is not really a Sunday I want to experience. So, imagine my joy when I saw this beauty on KZfaq this Sunday. I've been a fan now for over a year and one day, I hope to be able to become a member of the Black Clan. Grizzley Gaz recommended your channel to me. I am so glad I clicked on it. From the very first video of yours I was hooked.

@davidburgess9058 3 ай бұрын

What a day indeed! That 360 at the top of Bowfell was wonderful. An epic piece of film in a winter wonderland of Lakeland beauty. You're blessed to have caught it on an amazing day in what looked like almost perfect conditions in true fell walking country. Thanks for sharing

@ac9110 3 ай бұрын

Another visual treat. A real KZfaq weekly highlight for me now. Take care though Glen, I shouldn't think a broken ankle up there on your own would be any type of fun.

You picked a beautiful day for your walk. The second and last time I attempted to summit Bow Fell was in September 2022. We started off from the car park in shorts and tee shirts but as soon as we got below Three Tarns the heavens opened and we were beaten back despite donning our wet weather gear. There will be another time!

@phillewis3108 3 ай бұрын

Finally completed a lifetime ambition, and over to Cumbria 3 weeks ago. I'm guessing that around when this was filmed, because a few days after we arrived, there was a run of 2-3 days of this weather. The snow covered fells (especially Skiddaw from where we are) were just magnificent. I'd planned to get out for my first proper walk today, but I've had a bit of a fever all day. At least I know they're now only a few minutes away 😊

I have never had that experience before . Thank you.

Terrific video Glenn. Funny enough my wife and I were hoping to climb Crinkle Crags and Bowfell on Sunday. Unfortunately many others had a similar idea and when we arrived at the car parks around 10am they were all full. We headed back to Ambleside and walked the Fairfield Horseshoe which was great. One day I’ll get up Bowfell. Keep up the good work 👍

@DAoutdoors 3 ай бұрын

Hi there Glenn. Absolutely wonderful video mate. I’ve done that exact same walk in the summer, although I didn’t do Rossett Pike. I did make it over the climbers traverse and up the great slab though. It’s a pity you couldn’t get up that way this time but you did the right thing. Thank you as always for sharing your amazing adventure. I hope the Finnmeister is doing ok. All the best Dave 😀🥾⛰

WOW!!! This is just absolutely mind blowing beautiful.. Bowfell has stunning views... About week ago, I did Pillar from Seathwaite, starting from up Seathwaite slabs and waterfall, up- Base Brown , on to Green Gable, along side Kirk fell , then up Pillar, down the side of Pillar hard way, through woodlands trail, down onto Valley bottom, along wooden foot bridge, up through woodlands, then on to Haystacks, past Fleetworth Pike, down from slate mines, back down Honester pass road, back to Seathwaite, and a pint ... stunning walk indeed. I love this channel with a passion incredible Scenery, Camera footage and superb Narrative throughout the video. Beautiful video Black Crag very much appreciated..... 👍👍👍 Black crag what spikes do you use on your boots (link to the spikes please! ) I need a new set of spikes .to use with my Salewa Rapace gtx boots...

Absolutely amazing. Nice sound. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and the view point from place.Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower.

Interestingly if you took any one of those so called “ hills” and put it down in the middle of my state here in Alabama…it would be the tourist attraction of the whole state ….and it would indeed be categorized as a legit mountain! I mean I could definitely think this was in the Colorado Rocky Mountains! Spectacular and beautiful MOUNTAINS! 🏔️

There's more snow in the Lake District than there is in Ottawa, Canada. Granted, it's about 600m higher there, but all winter we've only had about 100cm of snow which isn't a lot and it's been gone for about 3 weeks now.
