Great hike that Alan mate, what stunning views Thanks for sharing mate, have a great weekend Ash

An excursion with really great moments, Alan! an impressive climb ... the views from the summit are spectacular it was nice to observe such a wonderful nature. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! 👌 👍105👌🥀🌷 ♫. Big hugs, Patrizia ♡♡♡

Incredible hike! That loose shale would do me in! Brilliant!

This is what I need to to for exercise is take up hiking and going into the country side! Absolutely beautiful! Love it there! I would love to go to see that in person! Gorgeous views!

Those views were amazing beautiful terrain and a fantastic hike. Great video

Awesome hike that Al and the quality of the vid is something else.....one of the best I've seen on the tube, well done really enjoyed it looking forward to the next one...cheers Mike

the small waterfall is so pretty with the river and the water so clear.

Epic walk with stunning scenery. Thanks for sharing with us.🙂🙂

Outstanding Alan! The things we do to avoid the crowds...LOL Amazingly beautiful!! At the summit you found the crowd ...LOL Awesome summit and video Alan!

You have an awesome channel my friend glad you came by I'd never have found you and I love your content! Subscribed!

Lovely cascade, beautiful views, fantastic hike. It looked like a tough one though.

I keep telling myself I'll get my backside up Scafell Pike one day. Great video as always mate 😊

Wow! what a beauty, what a landscape, what a way to get in touch with nature . Congratulations on giving you moments like this friend. Thanks for sharing😀👍

Oh the memories are flooding back! We started in Wasdale too and I remember the drive to the carpark being a very narrow but beautiful road. The crossing at 1:23 was tricky when we did it (in March) and I have a photo of my Englishman walking up the hill to see if there was a better spot, but in the end .... thanks to my poles.... we made it with almost dry feet LOL. We had snow at the top so it was a challenge to find the route (the normal one as we didn't feel Mickeldore would have been safe in the snow). As you mentioned, it is a bit bouldery getting to the top and that was difficult as one never knew what was hiding under the snow. But that looks like a very exciting yet exhausting route with all the scree. Well done Alan .. also on the early wake up LOL!! And you are right, film never can convey the beautiful of it in real life! Glad the weather held up for you but the clouds on the way down looked very mystical. Thanks for sharing and Cheers :)))

Hi Alan, that's a great hike up Scafell Pike, well done for doing it alone, especially on little sleep! We did Scafell Pike way back in 2008 and I remember it too being very "scrambly" to hike especially near the end! We've recently come back from the Lakes having staying in Ullswater, looking forward to sharing our hikes in coming weeks! Cheers, Simon😎👍

Looks like the perfect day for it 😁 the sky is just so gorgeous! Wow that’s a very early wake up 😅 Awww I hate getting wet feet puts a damper on things 😂 Some beautiful sights looks like a magical valley 😍🏞🌄 Oooh what a scramble 😬 Nice dramatic music haha 😁 Great snaps from the top 😊 Love your banter all the way through 😅 Wow never seen mist quite like that 🤗

Great footage. There were some really pretty views along the way on this one. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see you out again. Awesome hike up the rugged rocks pretty cool. Those views from those high points were pretty awesome. Take care and see you in the next one 👍😃

Well done Alan , that must have been a long but satisfying day ; ) Thanks for taking us along with you Tale care :D Teddy

Epic scenery in this video mate, looked a great hike, nice bit of scrambling too, another great vid mate, take care ATB 👍

Nice one Alan great upload from you again mate beautiful spots

That looked like a proper solo adventure. Loved the atmospheric shots as you were coming down with the mist drifting across those views. Can't believe that you've not been up Skiddaw yet. You are on course for doing England's 3,000ers... get Skiddaw and Crossfell done and you will have completed all four of England's P600s. Take care. Alice

Absolutely beautiful!!

Wow, such a trip! It's a feat, I admire you. Super video.🎥❤👍🏻

Great upload Alan - looks like you had a fantastic day - like 57 with a full view as always from us

You really were rewarded with some amazing views weren't you! Great climb up Alan!

Great upload Alan like 153 with a full view as always - stunning views as always

Hiya, Alan. This one appeared on my timeline when I was having me tea! Cracking video, and a long day for you. I've climbed Scafell Pike many times, but never gone up the Mickledore path yet. You got some really nice photos as well. Take care.

Great video Alan, I’m pretty much watching these on a loop now 😀👍

Well Done Alan that was a great hike although I don't envy you on the scree path...think if I do it I'll take the popular path. Gorgeous views and well worth stopping for a few breaks to enjoy them.ATB Ana

Super randonnée ❤️

Hi Alan, we both watched this last night. Looks like you had a great day. Love the views from the summit, I will have to try that route up sometime, it looks really good. Great stuff! Cheers. Eddie.

Glad you had the views at the top Alan it makes the day. I think I saw a glimpse of the lords rake at 819 in the top left hand corner, it’s a vertical channel. It’s like an illusion that you can’t see until you know it’s there, It’s very challenging but an incredible cut threw to Scafell well worth the effort. What a great day out, hope you had a cider to celebrate. Regards.

Nice one Alan, looked very moody up top. The scree looked hard going but great achievement to reach the top, well done ATB Phil 👍

Well done! And what stunning views!

Well done, nice video, looks beautiful at the top 👍🏼

Well done Alan! Very envious, not sure if you saw my version of exactly this route - but you had considerably better weather than I did!! Good for you for getting up so early and getting up there... I know you said you were buzzing, but I bet you were knackered by the time you got home!! Well worth it though - Brilliant! All the best - Adam

Nothing like a bit of low cloud to add to the atmosphere . Definitely a better route up and it looked like your knees doing well 👍Great stuff mate.

Some stunning views to be had this is one hill that I need to tick off.

Brilliant video Alan and great to see Mickledore - I love it. You’re going at it at the moment matey, Helvellyn, Scafell Pike and on fb, looks like you’ve just done Skiddaw too. Wow 😊. Never ever have “a last time” buddy 😁👍🏻

Absolutely superb! Thank you so much for sharing, I hope I’m brave/fit/strong enough to do this via the regular route one day soon. 💖

Some cracking photography on that one Alan

I'm heading up to scafell pike this weekend coming; with the eldest in tow - been a little over 10 years since I was last up scafell pike which I did on my own and went the normal route. The boy has specifically requested some scrambling though, as he enjoyed it at snowdon last year (via watkins) and I had to do some digging around, and realised we could have a little more of a challenge going via mickledore, which is how I've ended up here on your video :) looks like a fun route, here's hoping we have some decent weather! Great vid, definitely agree with you re: going on your own, sometimes it's nice to just have the time to do things at your own pace and take it all in

Well done and brilliant VLog Alan. We stayed at the NT Campsite (booked a few weeks ago when restrictions first lifted) and by the sound of it set off about an hour behind you, same route ascending Mickledore. I just noticed when you was on the summit, the guy with the Parsons Jack Russell met us at the top of Mickledore and was going to climb down it. But the clouds rolled in so he returned to the normal route

Very nice video content of your walk to the Scafell Pike and the sceneries on the way,we were here a week ago.Well done,for making it to the summit.

small stream from the top to the bottom so pretty.. must be amazing flying drone there

am so proud of you alan 80% of people up fist route you did it hard core one mate i did that rote with full over night pack on befour you tube my hat offf to you tfs atb bryan

Another fantastic and informative video Alan, I hope to do Scafell Pike. Hopefully next week

That was a great hike Alan! It must be hard to climb up with those loose rocks and not to mention the dark clouds covering you guys. It’s worth it though , the view from the summit is spectacular!

11:08 That is awesome, bro.

Just came across this video, i actually remember seeing you & going past just over the bridge heading up.. Weather was lovely when i hit the summit I went the traditional route as it was my first time up

That was a superb hike Alan and the views definitely did not disappoint. Haha I feel you brother, the last three times I summited our Guadalupe Peak here in Texas I said this may be my last time. I somehow made it back and for me it had definitely become an emotional thing reaching the summit. Great video! Atb, Tony

Awesome video my friend 👍

Heading up to the Lakes in 2 weeks, want to do Scafell Pike but haven't decided the route yet, thanks for the view on Mickledore and helping me understand I don't need to decide until I hit the fork in the path.

Alan I’m always amazed by the scenery you show us, keep it coming!

Wow your an early riser!I thought there would be nobody there so early. The views are amazing from the summit.

Man it's truly beautiful from the summit brother! Looked like some good hiking to arrive to the summit but brother it looked completely worth it!

Nice work Alan, you certainly get about pal. Doesn’t matter how long it takes you, to experience those views is what it’s all about, good on you 👍, cheers Ant.

Well that brought back a lot of memories. It is many a year since I did Scafell Pike via Mickledore. My normal route is from the ODG, longer walking but not as far to drive, in fact, you can, if you get a bit of a move on, do it by bus! I do remember watching Jos Naylor run up and down it, I seem to remember it was on Channel 4, and they also mentioned it on Terry Abraham's 'Life of a Mountain'. He ran up from close to the car park, and back down again, in 47 minutes! I think I'm like you Alan, I enjoy the slower pace, plenty of stops to admire the stunning view. Thoroughly enjoyed sharing the journey via your video. Take care and stay safe. Thankyou - Eric.

nice one alan.that was a long day as you say well worth it for them views.only done it via the corridor route . no matter what route its never easy.take it easy.

Nice one Alan, I am yet to do this one but looks fantastic.

Well done dude, hope your knees are OK after that, I like how your climb up on your own had lovely weather, and you descent amongst the masses was grey and moody... It's like the weather knew lol cheers, Atb James

Can’t beat that scenery Allan! Beautiful area! Thanks for taking us along brother! 🤘🏼

Enjoyed it Alan, funny you should mention the campsite being full. We spent absoulutly ages trying to book a campsite for next week a few days ago, never knew out like it.

awesome footage Alan, here supporting with a full view, have a lovely week ahead, like 126

Well done, Alan, great achievement to get up there on your own. I liked your route, I'm fond on going up and down by different paths, so your way was interesting. The crowds were a bit scary though, hard to social distance. You slept well that night! Regards, Ashley

Ah what a great vlog! Great you got to do that walk on what was my 50th birthday too - brilliant!. Off up there in August, just not too sure yet what routes to take. Cheers

Thanks Alan for sharing this route with us. Very interesting scramble which will definitely bring me back to Scarfell Pike. Just watching by the poolside in Turkey sweating 😅 like crazy.. Made me lol “there’s a lot stupid people about these days”. ATB Mark.

I really enjoyed this video! I have yet to bag Scafell Pike but would love to do this route when I do.

Wow! such beautiful scenery and trails! loved the greenish mountain footage, all your photos and especially at 16:40 views with music! so awesome Allen!

Challengers are always attractive and wonderful. You can't hide your happy expression despite climbing a hard mountain. I sincerely hope that you will be healthy so that you can only do these happy things. 49

Quite impressive the fact you just drove 3 hours and hiked the tallest peak in England! You did a really good job filming this hike in its entirety. So beautiful in the beginning with the water coming down the mountain and the Lake in the background. When you were going up toward the sunlight it looked like you were going straight to heaven! Definitely a beautiful hike and everything looked awesome even when the clouds rolled in! Thanks for sharing your adventure Alan!

Another superb trek Alan, was well pleased when you decided to take the Mickledore route, know what you mean about ''being there'' as opposed to watching a vid.......you did elude to the fact that you would be back up there, so here is a challenge for next year.....try going from Seathwaite in Borrowdale, up through Grains Gill to Esk Hause and then across the boulder-field to the summit, then descend by the corridor route to Sty-head tarn and back to Seathwaite. Its a challenge but I reckon you can do it.......cracking vid Alan,loved it.......cheers....Stu.....👍👌

Beautiful hike, Alan! I almost felt your pain with that killer of a scree hike up to the summit. Well done! Glad to see you enjoying your time out in the hills and soaking it all in! Cheers, Mari

What an awesome hike and awesome views along the way! Looks like a good workout as well! 👍👍😎 ~Maverick

Definitely picked the right route up ‐ it was a motorway on the down ‐ well worth the early start! Cracking images as always, loved seeing the weather closing in ‐ Cheers Alan ‐ T 🙂

I love this one so much! Those falls are amazing! The look at the lake, gorgeous! I hope you get to camp the trust, that’d make an awesome video. The scrambles we’re so fun! It was cool to see it on the map. And the grasses are so green. I need a stick too, helps steady. Then the summit... and those stellar views💜💜💜

Great video Alan.

Nice to meet you my friend always looking to add fellow outdoor content creators

Brilliant vid Alan. I'm a bit of a stranger to Cumbria, but hoping to put that right once the lockdowns are behind us. Researching for a trip up Scafell Pike and your vid came up 😁 Might try the popular route for my first go though! All the best👍

Hi Alan watching your vid again as had to change route because my friend has decided to join me. So changed campsite so she can come and camp with one of my tents. As where i had booked there was no tents. But we will have to go up a easy route for my friend

Another great video

Love the cloud at the end ,very dramatic, great stuff 🙂

What a beautiful place! The views are stunning! Is there a cable car to the top in case I visit? 😂 Awesome hike my friend and thanks for sharing!

This is amazing! The farm here and the mountains are just soii beautiful and set the mood for this amazing adventuree❤❤❤

Beautiful

Great stuff Alan , an early start but well worth it for those views atb Dave

Getting an early start on this one! Way to skip the "traditional" way up! Beautiful views on the summit. Congrats on scaling the highest peak!

great walk weldone taking that route to.atb max

So, you chose the beastly way Alan. Well, you chose the rockers way because there was lots of rock and lots of roll. Ha ha! Well done, a really good climb. Some good breaks but you had nobody to talk to on this route. If you had imagine how long it might have taken you to get them views. Maaan, you could see off Scafell Pike but only just in time. Good going. All the best. Mark

I've been trying to learn exactly where these areas are. The names are so confusing so I map them. I've been watching a lot of England / Scotland photography channels like Thomas Heaton. I've really been learning as these areas are now on my wish list of places I want to visit - once we're allowed. I suppose the world is so big I never paid attention to anyone saying England has beautiful landscape but it certainly does. & now I know where Scafell is! Near Wasdale Head & Great Gable! Nice hike. Nice area. I actually prefer foggy day so it looked spectacular. From what I can tell flying into Manchester is the nearest hub to get to these lake districts. I'm taking notes. Rockie

great vid Alan 👍👍🤙🤙🤙

Beautiful country Alan would love to hike your country question are these trails old? Stay safe my brother good hike. Outstanding video.

Brilliant walk. I had pland to do scarfell this year but with lockdown I will have to do it next year like snowdon. But will still be able to do ben nevis at end of August

Excellent video, Alan - great achievement! The cloud moving past is awesome to see and makes for fantastic photography opportunities which you took advantage of! I think what I'm going to have to learn when I visit the mountains is that you can't rush them; allowing plenty of time for a short distance seems to be important to take care on the routes... much rockier and steeper than Dartmoor. ATB Max.

Beautiful view of the lake. I know the feeling on taking the breaks. "Gotta Beast it up there" That's awesome! That's a lot of shale rocks. I thought only we had the stupid people over here that write stupid stuff on other people's property. The views from the summit of Scafell Pike are amazing! The magical moments are what make every hike wonderful. I love how the weather can change within minutes. Thankfully you got there early and beat the crowds. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Cheers Shu.

Back where you belong, Alan. Nice to see! Excuse the lack of interaction from us, we've just come back from a lengthy break in France and are playing catch up.
