Hiking the Wainwrights - S4-Ep03: Black Fell to Holme Fell
Finally we return to Hiking the Wainwrights after what feels like an age! Despite having to accept that - due to my gammy toe - I'd have to do a lower walk instead of the planned Scafell Pike route, I knew this one would hit the spot. The route that takes in Tarn Hows, Black Fell, Oxen Fell, Hodge Close and Holme Fell is truly one of the most enjoyable walks to be had in the Lake District 😀
Both Finn and I NEEDED this walk!

Yes please to the smuggler’s video, Glenn 😊I loved watching this - it lifts my spirits to see little Finn hoppity skipping in front of you and your obvious love for her is just heart warming. Oh and the views ain’t half bad either 😉

Love Holme Fell. Yet to get to Black Fell without the clag beating me to it. Thrice past those Galloways and never the view 🤦🏻‍♀️

I so enjoy your hikes. So much beauty and atmosphere, lovely views, interesting stories and a cute dog-what else could you want! While I’ll never roam your area, you inspire me to get out and roam my own. But not right now…bit too cold. But once we get a warm up,I’ll be out with my own little camera! Love larch trees, too, although we call them Tamarac trees.

Yet another great video. Thanks Glenn. Enjoy every minute on the fells with Finn. I have a 16.5 year old Border Terrier called Muttley. Together, we’ve covered the Wainwright fells, wild camped and enjoyed more than a few pints in many a Lakeland pub. 🍺🍺 Never take for granted that time you have together. It’ll be gone in a flash. 😢 My old boy can now manage a two mile walk around the block, while I tackle the fells alone. It doesn’t feel right to be on the hills without my four legged mate but that’s life I suppose. He’s had a grand life and continues to do so. Enjoy your time with Finn and thank you for your videos. Stay safe.

Good to see you back with the Wainwrights! A mid-level walk in the southern fells could be Ilgill Head and Whin Rigg approaching them from either Wasdale or Miterdale. They are higher than Black Crag and Holme Fell, but they're not the slog that is the two Scafells.

Hi Glenn, bloody brilliant mate. I did that exact route last year but the other way round. Black Fell and Holme Fell might not be the biggest hills but together they make an absolute belter of a walk. Thank you for sharing, all the very best to you and the Finnmeister. All the best Dave. 😀⛰🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The way you present your vlogs is so Wainwright (said in polite terms) ok let me clarify ! Your narrative is heart felt (clearly) just as Wainwright weaves his passion and journey into his books, which portrays both a visual (Art work, maps, and routes) and an imaginative (almost poetic) story, your walk/talk to camera peaks my attention, great work! 👍

Ooh, smuggler tale, yes please! I made the same navigation error off Holme Fell last year and terrified myself on that sheer cliff. Must be a regular mistake as the path is well trod, deceptively so. Great video and I love the winter colours as much as the other seasons and the views are more open.

A great video to while away an hour on a Monday evening. Two fells I have not done before and they certainly look well worth doing. Great to see Finn again as usual. One thing I forget to say about the last, none Wainwright video...Latterbarrow is actually one of the fells in Wainwrights Outlying fells book, maybe an idea for the next video series? 🙂

Really enjoying the walks having just found the channel. As someone who 'did' the Wainwrights over 40 years ago it's really nice to revisit the big fells vicariously through your channel. I can still totter up the smaller fells and the little tarn on Holme Fell is an idyllic place in summer. Looking forward to the next video.

Very interesting walk as usual ! Your idea about Lanty would be brilliant 👍 - there have been tv attempts in the past but they didn't amount to very much ! It would be great to see where he distilled his illegal Moonshine and the trails and packhorse roads he used. I am sure you could do a great job telling and showing his story Glenn . I say "Yes Please" !!!!

Thank you so much for introducing me to these two hills. I had kind of dismissed them in my mind as being too small to be of interest, but your videos have shown me how the smaller fells can be just as interesting as the larger ones. I was up in the Lakes last weekend and did this exact route (even to the extent of -also going wrong off Holme Fell!). Cheers

New subscriber here, don't know how I've not come across your channel before !! Cumbrian born and bred and having walked in the Lake District for 35 years I never get tired of seeing the views. What a fabulous view from the bottom of Hodge Close Quarry, I've only ever seen it from the top. Yes please do the video re Lanty Slee. Strangely enough I was reading an article about him a few months ago

@martinheaton5057 6 ай бұрын

I did almost the same route, but the other way round. It was last July, in weather bad enough to keep me off the high fells, e.g. Wetherlam. It made me appreciate, possibly for the first time, the pleasure of lower level routes.

Have been enjoying your videos so much after recently discovering your channel. So much that you have inspired me to buy a pair of hiking shoes and trousers to get my butt out there. Has been a long time since I’ve done any hiking. No picturesque landscapes to traipse through locally, though the Blue Mountains aren’t too far away, maybe when I am fitter and can drag my son out. Visiting The UK is definitely on my bucket list, perhaps hiking there one day.
