'... I am the way I am cos of my mam' ..well you've done her proud Helen. You're terrific! Always a smile and very positive 😊.

I think Helen is a mountain goat she goes up there with no huffing and puffing omg what a climb well done

Well done the both of you. Yes you are right James, some of us are not able to get up those beautiful mountains anymore. Thank you for taking us with you.

Hay-up, thank you for doing that walk for my Wife and I because there's no bloody way I could do what you two have just done. Love to you both. Xx

I feel for you . Losing a mum is so heartbreaking. You have good support xx

Oh well bloody done on that challenging hike! How many times james did you wish there was a pub round the corner lol Your just two gorgeous people who value the world around you Absolutley wonderful to watch and very inspiring for me personally to go out and challenge myself, my heads not in a good place at the moment but you two have lifted my heart just watching you Thankyou so much ❤xx

A wonderful video iam pretty much house bound as ive got heart disease theres no way on earth i could attempt such a walk so thanks for taking me along what stunning views and a touching tribute to helens mum best wishes Phil,,, 🙏👍

You can tell Helen loves walking in the hills. James.....probably likes the idea of it 😅. Thanks for sharing. Bless Helens Mum ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I feel exhausted just watching that video.. Big hugs Helen..losing your mum is so painful.. ❤..xx

My son gets e climbing up hills. It absolutely crazes me! I'm a year off 70 and he has not a clue how it jiggers my back up! Hats off to you two fitties! Thank you for your lovely videos.

Since I've had my half-time orange and a tad more, there's no way I could do that. It's beautiful. Thank you hugely for taking us all with you. Well done lovely people. 🍺🍷😊

Brought back many fond memories, I was a regular hiker in that area some 40 years ago and have camped in the Borrowdale valley so many times. Ill health stops me now , so you two have been my eyes , apart from some of the tracks been built up with stones its same as it ever was . Cheers

Brought a tear to my eye Helen ❤ lost me gran 2019 dad last year n me mum last month. Took dads and my grandmas ashes to the great orm in Llandudno to be with me grandad and uncle. Lots of love Helen xxx James kudos to you, you looked chuffed at the summit ok the pike! Absolutely fantastic. Dont wanna interfere but it might be any idea to carry afew more tactical items doing the more higher terrains ❤ id hate for you to fall or miss judge footing etc. X

Ahh bless you Helen, your mum would and is proud of you x great vid guys thnx for sharing x

Your both bloody fantastic well done I don’t it 42 years ago with a 56 pound backpack never again 😂😂

My eyes light up every time I see your notification. Another great video but by the end I felt your pain. I’ve done it myself in the past up Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons. cracking video as always guys!! …. Smithy

Glad you are doing the Lakes. Incredible we have that amazing place. If your joints and blisters trouble you, just tell yourself you are taking one for the team...

Wow what a great walk! Respect to Helen doing that, then getting up for work the next morning. These days if I do a long, hard walk like that It impacts my next couple of days (my hangovers are the same!) I'm totally knackered!, must be a sign of getting older. Hats off to the both of you. I had some of those sticks James, used em once then ended up just stored in the boot of my car, I also found they made things harder than a help.👣👣

Another fantastic video, thank you! I am a Yorkshireman in my 50's and have been living in Cornwall for 27 years, but the lakes are my favourite place. I hiked up Helvellyn alone in the winter of 2002 when all the mountains were snow covered. It was amazing. I have taken my Cornish partner and kids there a few times and they love it too. I went on several school trips in the 80's and always stayed at Patterdale YHA. These were the best times of my life. I also used to ride up there many times in the summer on my motorbike with friends in the 90's.

What can I say, James this channel is working you really connected with the audience, Helen lot of loving thoughts were with you at the bridge ❤. Be proud you both are lovely people.

Made me laugh when you said the "chit chat stops towads the end of the walk", spot on is that 😆

OMG Helen is like a mountain goat she makes it look so easy but its bloody hard been up there when I was about 30 years old amazing views as I am 60 today was lovely you sharing this video I am in Cumbria at the moment at Cockermouth but my climbing days are over at the moment at Gin distillery doing some Gin testing near Keswick you did so well James getting up there well done..

Hi guys, yes I love to watch u both hiking. But I can’t do it anymore as I’ve got arthritis in most of my joints. I never go out the house these days. But u did amazing James well done to both of ya xx ❤

I'm sort of house bound ish, due to heart disease and a cardiac arrest not long ago, but I do enjoy hiking vlogs, reminds me of what I used to be capable of, I'm only 58 lol , thank you for the upload 👍😀

That looked very dangerous at times James a big well done to you and your good lady , God Bless to Helen's Mum you will always have your memories to treasure , thank you for another great vlog keep on doing what your doing both take care and look forward to another vlog soon .

Aww what a lovely place . Well said about Helen always so happy and pleasant to be around. Well done both of you for the lovely blog ❤❤

Blimey that looked steep in parts! If I did that I'd never recover well done you two that's an achievment❤

Thank you for sharing your video, it’s always a pleasure seeing you both in your videos. I climbed it and slept on it with friends yrs ago, it brought back so many happy memories. Thank You both. Eric 😊

Thanks for sharing your lives James and Helen, inspirational.

Beautiful video, made me cry at the bridge .. keep them coming, fantastic x

My son got me lost up a welsh mountain. I slid down to the river in the valley on my bum through the ferns. I was drenched to the skin. We were lost with the mountain ponies. My foot went into a rut on ground level and jarred my old knee. I hobbled back to the car about a mile or so away. Never again will I trust his guidance along routes!

James and Helen, that was an epic hike and fantastic video thanks for cheering up my Sunday evening😊

Good video, so far! Thank you. I am 15:11 in. I needed to stop for a rest :| My COPD was playing up in the first 100 yards.

Aww my heart when you stopped for your mum Helen 😢 🫂 . Enjoyed that, beautiful scenery. I'm up in Scotland, one of the ones James was talking about that can't so it on my own now, can honestly say I'm knackered just watching you guys 😂

Well done you two for putting these beautiful parts of England on the map should put you both forward for VisitEngland Award for Excellence or happen it should be for Excellence Ambassadors for Good Beer Guides………… Not to mention Best Fish & Chips Reviews 😋 Multi talented xx

This was amazing… well done to you both, love the videos, I look out for them everyday. I also do long shifts & I don’t have the energy Helen has, respect to her xx

Wow what a video guys awesome scenery... just googled it .. think ill head for there soon....... respects to helen s mum ❤

It was so good to see you do that walk. My wife and I were last in that valley forty one years ago. It was so good to see it again. Keep up with the walking we're both loving it.

Great video, now I need to go climb that one 👍 thank you Helen for sharing that moment on the bridge, seeing love in its raw form is always a privilege, hope your legs weren't feeling like concrete for too long, take care

I so admire you both for hiking like this. I'm fubarred sadly. Damaged spine and knees so I could never hope to do this or view there so your videos are brilliant. You and Helen are so good together on video and your interaction is infectious. Thanks for bringing some proper enjoyment to youtube. Bessy regs- Kenny

Great vlog guys, ì done most of the walks in the lakes it's easy in your youth but it certainly gets a lot harder as you get older.i didn't fancy the drive back though.

Only found your channel yesterday. Enjoy your videos. Helen is a keeper for sure pal! All the best to yous both and respects to Helens mother 💙

Outstanding video !! Thankyou James & Helen for sharing your mountain hike. The scenery looks stunning and all credit to you both for taking us with you. Things like this show you how fit you actually are don’t they. Personally, I would struggle from the word go. Love to you both 💕💕💕

Hi both of you well done for getting stuck in and a memory walk for you mum , if your like your mum she must have been a beautiful soul and passed it on to you . beautiful views , your vlogs are spot on, each walk you do will make you stronger, get the mileage in before winter comes , I think your such a sweet loving couple , take care , 😘👏.XX💖💐heart and flowers are for your mum X well done you made it big hug X👏🍹fish and chips and a pint now 😅

Great to see what three words! Thank you ❤ Helen I knew exactly how you were feeling stood on that bridge with your mum. Big hugs x Great video as always from you both

Another great video you two.Always wait in anticipation for the next one!Keep them coming.

Just lovely watching u both. luv to Helen 🫶🏻xx Take care & stay safe. X

Bloody heck! there's no stopping Helen...move over or get pushed over 😆 Great show you two 👍🍻🚐👊

Fab video , thank you 🥰 love watching you two. Real decent people, funny too 😁❤️❤️xx

Thanks for posting this video, it brought back memories of when my wife and I did the same route some years ago. I remember feeling the same when we finished the hike. Probably not able to do it now so thanks again for the memories.

Lovely 😊. Knew Helen had Irish in her by her looks....from Ireland by the way. Best wishes 😊.

Well done on your hike...Can't beat it...Makes u feel alive..

I did the same route, though some years ago now. Well done guys, excellent hike and video.

James, regarding the walking poles.....I climbed up Snowdon with them and they were a bloody nuisance. Didn't stop me sliding down on my bottom as we began the descent.. And one of the poles nearly had my eye out as I tried to stop the slide. At the same time, my favourite Ian Poulter baseball cap flew off and floated away down to a field of grazing sheep. I like to think one of them might have took to wearing it. Thanks both for another great video!

Thank you for taking us with you over the fells loved it take care God bless Tom and Rosie in Westmoreland.

I had to stop the vlog at that point both ..the point that you raised a glass ( well bottle ) to mom .. lovely spot .. and I too was reminiscing ..🍻 here's to all our mom's n dad's 🙏.. I'll carry on now watching

Thanks guys this is definitely my most favourite vlog that i have seen of yours cheers .

Wow what a climb, well done to both of you. Helen you are an absolute machine, must be so fit and can't believe you can do all of that with a dodgy hip... what a star! I love the mix of hikes and social on your videos. You need to do a hiking gear review, I love all Helen's coats/waterproofs etc and rucksack plus cover.

Great video brings back memories of the walks me and my late gf did in the lakes😊

Loved this one. Well done both.

Enjoyed the walk guys thanks, beautiful views. Helen has some stamina hardly out of puff unlike some😮‍💨, probably give a mountain goat a damn good race. Just like you say James some can't do these walks and climbs myself included so it's good to see the countryside, the views and of course listen to your banter. Very enjoyable👌

Hay-up, did Scafell Pike back in June 1996 with my dad. We stayed at The New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in Langdale, we did a different route to you. The weather was a lot better. For us it was 4 hours up and 3 hours down, a great hike. Great video of you both. God bless and keep well. Xx

Wow guys that was brilliant. I did the same walk a few years ago & didn’t make it to the top, I got to Sprinkling Tarn & then back down Grains Gill. That downhill is a killer on the legs. I remember well the feeling of desperation to be back at my car haha. Done a few “thank god I’m still alive” hikes 😅

The mist shrouded mountains, the hills, the waterfalls, stunning doesn't do it justice, I would describe this amazing part of Britain as 'savagely beautiful' it's as if the area has its own consciousness which must be respected by us mere humans at all times as we are granted access to it. Thank you for taking us with you, and thank you Helen for sharing such a personal moment with us as you refelcted on your Mum, my heart goes out to you, I, and many others I suspect, have lost a parent or both parents, and life is never the same again....I'm looking forward to sharing many more adventures with you both, take care and all the best!

What an amazing woman Helen is and you did really well to reach your van alive! Lol. I’ve just subscribed.

What a beautiful place for your mam to rest in Helen, I completely understand why you do that climb , I get you ❤️

Thanks for a brilliant video of a brilliant walk - well done both of you!!

Aw Helen, I was in tears, coming up to my mums anniversary, it’s so hard isn’t it, but I know she lives on in me, as your mum does in you, take care , let’s keep doing em proud , 🤗 sending hugs x

Wow that looked tough but as Helen said 'what an achievement' ! Stunning scenery. Thanks for taking us on your walk x

Really enjoyed watching this! Well done guys

Fantastic vid guys ,the views are absolutely breathtaking ,it's like you both taking us all for a an adventerous hike ,love the vids ,you both have shining personalities 👍👍

Well done guys. I love hiking but I’ve only done Scafell Pike once as I really didn’t enjoy it. It was a proper mental/frustrating challenge for me. Did it as the 2nd peak of national 3 peaks challenge many moons ago! Keep up the good vids guys 👍🏻

Thank you both for another great video xx

Well done you two. Did that about 25 years ago with an old pal that`s no longer with us, I was knackered too, I`m 64 now, not sure if I could still make it these days.

Terrific video! Really enjoyed it.

Loved it glad i never had to do it though thanks for bringing us along 👌👌👌👌👌 Well done 👏👏👏👏👏

Thankyou both that was amazing, felt like I was doing the walk with you.❤

What an achievement, You should be proud, That's not just a walk in the park (excuse the pun) Perfect choice of word in the title, Mentalist, Well done the pair of you 😉👌

Quite a hike. So rewarding.

Great vlog as always so wish I could do the walks I can't walk very far at all knees don't work so it's a pleasure to watch stay safe.

Loved watching this. I feel like this is the classic Lake District experience 😂

G'day to you both, Enjoyed the video. Over here in NZ, it's the custom to put another stone on the cairn as you pass. This helps to maintain the cairn, the strong winds, snow and ice, can dislodge them. ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ ☺☺

That was absolutely fantastic wow! Right from beginning to end 🎉❤❤ ma feet are killing me 😂😂😂 no seriously it was incredible and when you got to the top it made me cry. I loved the music can you put a link for the music please? Thank you so much for sharing that. Cheers to your mum Helen ❤ the views were just stunning ❤ awww xx

Hi Big Man i loved this one , i am nearly 70 now and have been waiting on two knee replacements for a few years now and would love to do this walk , i think i may make it up but think it would be too much strain on my knees getting back down , I always think my own country of Scotland is beautiful but this was also worth seeing , Thank you to you and Helen once again , loved this so much thank you both ....

"it's not getting any nearer Helen" that comment did it for me 😂 That was hardcore. Love watching you two, well done xx 😘

You just reminded me of my lovely Dad . He always used to say "It's really black ova Bill's muvas " Helen was a mountain goat in a previous life. Thanks for sharing this adventure. I'm physically challenged these days, so I have trouble climbing stairs !! The more you vlog, the more I wish you could do travel vlogs.( At the risk of repeating myself ) Helen is full of info, and your banter is infectious. Love it, and you both. Janice 👵 xxx Be proud James - wow what a finish! So very glad you found each other x

Hi James & Helen, I'm very late to the 'By The Curb' party but getting a bit obsessed with your brilliant Vlogs 😃... Going through some old ones and this one touched my heart, it was very emotional to watch but so very well done. I lost my mum 20 years ago my son was only 4 months old as you can imagine it was hell on earth and to this day I feel so sad at times but a few words of comfort. I know if I'm smiling my mum is too, she'll be looking down on me enjoy life to the fullest with amazing people that make a positive difference to me. Just like you Helen 🕊️ Keep smiling and enjoy every single moment ❤️ ☺️ Sorry a bit deep but it really touched me and I know grieving is a painful process. Also I absolutely LOVE the Lakes been going for 25 years, to Ambleside and surrounding areas, stunninggggg views everywhere, it's a place that takes my breath away. Love & hugs Claire 🤗 🍻

Fair play. I'd need air-lifted to the pub after that!!

Ay up. Another great video. I go hiking all the time but still love watching others do it too. The monsal trail is a nice walk for miles on the flat mainly, unless you go up to monsal head. Even then its a 'stroll to the corner shop' up to scafell pike. You two are great. I watch all your videos 😊❤

Best scenic way to scafell 🙂👍

superb im loving your channel and helen is a real treasure

Areeet peeps, thanks for this one, just had a nightmare bike ride over Pennines and totally forgot how to do extreme stuff. This vid has helped my recovery❤

Enjoyed this immensely. The scenery was awe inspiring. 😸

Brilliant you made my back hurt more just watching you xx

Great video, looked hard work, id struggle with that but you did it! well done, lovely place

Really enjoyable video James. Your camera work is Excellent. Thank you both

Epic hike. Loved this and hearing the deep breathing made me feel like I was there! Helen is of course amazing. I would have worried about the dark clouds, worried about my legs, worried about work the next day.....this video says just go out there and bloomin' Do It! Thanks
