Welcome back to another Lake District Hike! This week I'm in Borrowdale, one of my favourite places in the Lakes and I head up to Glaramara, a Lake District mountain that I have never summited. Another mega day in the Lakes!
I hope you enjoy the video and feel free to leave a like, subscribe and comment, it'll really help support the growth of my channel :)

That was a very interesting Lake District episode, a part of the Lakes I have not seen before. Excellent filming and some very pertinent tips for winter mountain hiking that are spot on. Looks like you had a great trip! Great to see some snow too 👍 Loved it 😁

Glaramara was one of the first fells i climbed as was Rothswaite met some friends from Plymouth on that day in 2008 the weather was very pleasant and the views were lovely . The following day i did Castle Crag with my Rough Collie Lady ,she is a typical hardy Scottish breed and everyone kept calling her Lassie ,visited the memorial at the summit and i placed a letterbox on the Crag before the summit for people to visit . I had several visitors when i went back in 2010 when I also visited Mullicans Cave ,cant believe someone lived there at one time . Great video as always .My favorite fell in the Lakes must be Bow fell ,when i did the Crinkle Crags from the Langdales so much to see ,ended up going to Great end and ended up in Seathwaite a brilliant Ridge walk if you get dropped off and picked up .Lady loved it .

Thank you for sharing such a lovely story! I think Bow Fell and Crinkle crags might be my favourite also. I spent yesterday on the other side of the Langdale Valley, stood on Pike of Stickle looking over to a snow topped Crinkle Crags and Bow fell, stunning! Thanks again 😊

Love your Lakes vlogs , Glaramara is always a boggy challenge with sketchy footpaths, we are currently on 135 so you’ve overtaken us 👏👏👏

Thank you so much 😊 you’re making awesome progress, gets a little harder towards the end doesn’t it, begin to run low on the routes where you can bag a load in one go. Hope you enjoy the remaining summits 😊👍

Great job. Out of interest, what were your layers beneath the hard shell? Didn't you over heat or is the shell well ventilated through pit zips etc?

@alexcripps.outdoors 4 ай бұрын

Thank you. I was wearing a base layer, mid layer and alternating between a soft shell and hard shell throughout the walk. Added a synthetic insulated jacket at the top. I was a little warm but the temperatures were sub zero with the wind chill, would rather be a little warmer than cold. Hope that helps. I just recently uploaded a video on what I wear for winter hiking which might be of interest to you, cheers 😊👍
