Another great video. Your videos are really inspirational. Went out last Sunday for the first time in probably 6 months to the Lake District. Since having issues with my DSLR I had really lost the motivation to go out around the Lake District and the Peak District as it normally takes about 1 hour to take my first shot with my camera due to the issue I'm having with it. After watching your last video followed by various videos from your earlier series back to back I was inspired enough to go to Haweswater and up Harter Fell. Had a great day, weather was great for photography and my camera behaved itself 😀. I would like to say a big thank you for inspiring me to get back out with my camera. Keep up the great work that you do and looking forward to your next video.

Gutted I had to work last night so came home this morning at 6am and the first thing my wife said to me was we watching BlackCrag before I go to work, lol. So there we was at 6am watching our favourite show. That drone footage was amazing. Just a shame we have to wait a whole week for the next one, best day of the week and as been said Sundays are not boring anymore.

Another superb video. Such a tantalising glimpse of what I know are fantastic views around Harter Fell. I've not explored that valley yet and I've clearly been missing out! Nice chunk of history to explore too. I'm really enjoying the different circuits you're doing of what could easily be a 'standard round' like the Kentmere Horseshoe. Really nice to be given ideas of some new circuits to try and also the variety you include in your videos.

Greatly enjoy your vlogs and eccentricities (nervous of ponies for example) and happy that you have dropped the wide angle lens you used in older videos. The great bit is that its a walking video that is about the walk not the stupid fluffy stuff that main channels seem to like, plus you highlight the great photo ops and your photography is spot on. Looking forward to your future Wainwrights.

The one time I tried the Kentmere Horseshoe, having previously reached all the tops in different routes, I went this way round but in high summer conditions. I ended up coming off at Nan Bield, being well aware I'd never make the western ridge, and having run out of water despite carrying the usual 2 litre bottle. I remember the trudge down Kentmere - does this valley *ever* end? - far less happily than you, until I finally passed a house where the lady reflled my bottle and I drank half of it in one go. Harter on that walk became one of only a dozen or so fells I reached more than twice, three times in fact, each time from a different direction, as it should be.

Thanks for another cracking trip out. Weather is weather. landscapes produce different aesthetics dependent upon it. every Sunday you take our minds off the week ahead and it's drudgery. From Shipman Knotts on a clear day with binoculars you can see the Liverpool cathedrals, Anglesey and the Snowdon range. There was a video on here about the mine I remember. A seam of high quality green slate I think running to Wrengill. I think those walls in Kentmere are some of the oldest unmolested still standing in the UK, and the Yews in the churchyard predate our monarchy. There is a grounding available thereabouts which is priceless. .. and the beer!
