Catbells is one of the most accessible fells in the Lake District National Park. At 451m above sea level it offers grand views out over Derwent Water, Keswick, and Skiddaw. This little circular walk is not to be missed, especially during springtime!

Thank you for another lovely walk. So glad you didn’t do the full round as you did a route I first did many years ago and repeated many times. I am unable do much now and am not only grateful for the many memories I have but also that you share your experiences and take me to places I cannot currently access. I hope to see many more! Thanks for sharing.

Catbells ... as you get older you appreciate it more, great episode Abbie you captured the views beautifully. It's not really tranquil, but its a shared experience with folks who wouldn't otherwise go into the fells and hopefully gives people a feel for the passion the outdoors invokes for walkers and climbers.

I've suffered from depression now for nearly forty years and my happy pill is walking next to water lakes rivers canals or the ocean but talking about it makes me depressed so I've watched your videos nearly from the beginning but I have to confess I only watch the hiking videos but keep up your good work you do a lot of good 👍🖖

I think so!

@SarahKCrowe Жыл бұрын

I always enjoy the Cumbrian way route along Derwent Water, never get bored in summer as always good for botanising with the little streams and craggy sections. The only bit I don't like is the heavily eroded sections of exposed tree roots that seems to always be super busy with groups. I did as a student in my 20s as far as Dale Tarn from Catbells and then dropped into Newlands Valley. It took much longer to do just that ridge section, i remember missing the last launch and having the extended walk back into Keswick. I've done other bits of the round separately but over time the need to do it in one, evaporated i think its knowing that the later part is always against the clock somehow unless you start really early.

One of my fave’s but them blooming steps are killer on my poor knees, we always drop down the rear side and avoid the killer steps👍

@AbbieBarnesWILD 10 ай бұрын

Haha that's fair enough! Try to stick to the paths as they are though as this helps to reduce erosion. Enjoy your hikes!

@@AbbieBarnesWILD there is a path that runs along the rear, agree completely we always stick to the paths👍

I've a bit of a block when it comes to getting any further than Catbells on this one too. I've done all the obvious routes up Catbells so I'm getting bored of that bit now, even considering using sheep tracks to spice it up! Either I set off too late in the day and realise I'm losing the race against the sun or I'm with someone who doesn't fancy going any further! Only really want to go as far as Dale Head tarn and then down by the waterfalls in to Newlands. I've walked to those waterfalls through that beautiful valley so I've even already done that bit, but can never seem to get as far as Maiden Moor never mind High Spy. Don't fancy the steep rock faces of Robinson from descriptions of including it, were you going to tackle that on this round Abbie?

@johnnywallaceuk Жыл бұрын

After watching a video of going up Robinson the High Snab Bank way I reckon I could make it up that way ok so I think like you I'm approaching this one from the wrong direction that's the problem! 😇

@Drdee1 Жыл бұрын

Walking is what you make of it and what you want it to be and you have the freedom to replan and take a different path. There shouldn't be any rules or judgement about this
