I'm a half century old and just today I learned that England has mountains, and beautiful ones at that. I live in an area of Canada blessed with more lakes and nature than one man will ever explore (trust me I'm trying) but nothing quite like this. Cheers

Did this Monday just gone, including a trek up to the top of Catstye Cam, and had similar conditions. Your reference to the video game is exactly what we said. For me, the cloud cover made it easier to deal with the height, but was frustrated to not be able to see where we were going. One of the best walks I've ever done. So many different parts to it, really fun :)

Loved the sound editing - those low string nightmare sounds... chilling!

Great video. I remember going up Hellvelyn back in 1965 with 2 blokes from a pub I knew at Newby Bridge called the Swan one called Arthur the other I just cant recall his name Mick I think it was and he was fit as a flea ,we decided the night before after a few beers as you do , why dont we climb Hellvelyn in the morning. So after leaving the pub at 11pm all the merrier we met up at 6 the next day drove up climbed it from the Thirlmere side. It was a long hike up there ,we had little by way of supplies ,walking gear was basic Arthur was wearing his builders boots the other lad his farming wear. On reaching the summit we went down along Swirrel and back up Striding. It was misty going up but the skies opened up and we had sun the rest of the walk. Got back to Grasmere early afternoon as we were starving and found the first cafe for some decent grub then later on back inthe pub to reminisce in the evening. A grand day out it was ,onevto remember. Arthur sadly no longer with us I lost track of the other lad ,Happy days😊.

Love these videos you inspire me, to fight my MS and continue living.

Thank you for another great video. Well done for the climb in those conditions. Hills make you stronger, that’s for sure!

Most enjoyable. And a good advert for getting out and getting up. Thought it worth mentioning that aviator Bert Hinkler was, like yourself Harry, a one time resident of Southampton. No idea if he did parkrun or not.

I've climbed Helvellyn twice, first time was on a route that covered Sheffield Pike, Hartside, Raise and White Side before reaching Helvellyn. I was due to return via Swirral Edge but a thunderstorm came in a few hours earlier than I expected, so retraced my steps to Stick pass and descended via that more gentle path. The following day I took Swirral Edge up Helvellyn as I didn't fancy Striding Edge lol

Done that route last week ,weather was beautiful, you need to go back on a better day to see the amazing view ..Great vid 👍👍👍👍👍

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch, well narrated with humour . I took the same path last year in November, it was cold but luckily it was a very clear day so thr views were just awesome ! I'm definitely going back

With all of these hikes and adventures, you could get some great photography!

A perfect video for a Friday Evening. Thank you Harry 🧡

Striding Edge always looks scary as hell!! I’ve done Scafell Pike, but these ridges look too hardcore for me! Well done 👏

Loved the video Harry! Definitely going to use that banana break technique. We had a jet experience in Snowdonia earlier this year, they flew right past us as we reached the top of Gallt yr Ogof. Just came from out of nowhere. It was absolutely amazing (and loud).

Great video! Explained the route really well. Came here from the recommended videos from the Outside Your Zone video of striding edge. Love this.

Best Lakes walking video I've seen, loved it. Will be watching more. Halls Fell ridge has been my favourite so far, hoping to tackle this next summer. Too scared for winter 😂

Just got back from Helvellyn. What a great day . Highly recommend it to anyone and everyone

Epic … did this yesterday and it was a challenge.. the shoulder was the hardest part

Great footage, commentary, editing again Harry! I really want to plan in this route next year now!

I did it last year supping 6 tinnies of Stella on the way up and a 17 year old Staffie that needed carrying most of the way. Was windy! Snow and ice on the top! Not going lie was probably the most scariest thing I've ever done. Everyone was turning back at the start of striding edge. There was 5 of us, our lass was only wearing 3 quarter jeans and trainers 🤣💪

Great film. So well narrated. 👍

Nice! Striding Edge is still on my to do list.

enjoyable vid. I did this route up last week, the weather was beautiful - really warm. None of the running water off the hills, bone dry in the lakes at the moment, I walked up with my little dog and must admit, 'striding edge' was a little scary. It did put a different perspective on things when I met an outbound course of kids (probably about 14/15 y o) with their teachers, lapping it up.

Causey pike is my favourite, great vid.

I've seen loads of aircraft in the Lakes, highlights were seeing a Lancaster bomber flying down Thirlmere and coming around the shoulder of Lonscale Fell to see an Rescue Helicopter fly low overhead

I lost a pork pie on Striding edge! and my friends and I were trying to find it. But to tell the truth I didn't find it in anyway difficult. The Anoch Eager ridge is the hardest I've done :-)

Great video Harry! If you want to push yourself further, go up when it’s snowed. You will need crampons, but it is a brilliant challenge! Keep up the content (I’m binging the old vids)

Reminds me of the first time i did Striding Edge very atmospheric in the clouds .What's next, Sharp Edge up to Blencathra .

You missed the memorial stone to the dog who would leave this mountain!

This is fine; I'll grow here! 😂

Is this a short film entry for a mountain film festival?

What is the best food and drink when you climbing mountain?

Ruddy nora some of that looked ify in that weather.

“But there was a problem, we weren’t certain where the entrance to Swirral Edge was.” Been there, done that:/

What car park was that? Charging fee?

I’m climbing it on Tuesday with my father in law (71), his friend (62) and another friend (56). I’m 46. Are we going to survive?! Temperature at the top on Tuesday says: ‘Feels like minus 10.’ With 30mph winds 😳

Dear me! Too much jeopardy before bed! I keep wanting to say be careful or be mindful!

Which is the scariest, Crib or Striding ?

Enjoyed the video but, not for me and definitely not in that weather.
