I am lucky enough to be widely travelled and I have to say though I have never been anywhere that is more beautiful and more memorable than the Lake District and you really do the scenery justice by the clarity of your filming - it's like I'm walking along with you - magnificent.

Did this yesterday and it was bloody lovely. As there wasn't a soul around I stayed at the car for a bit and made sure I got properly relaxed before heading out for a slow bumble on the first half. And then took advantage of passing the car again to get extra specially relaxed for the latter half ;) In good weather, this might just be the perfect walk to introduce people to hiking in the Lakes; not too strenuous, enough to get a taster, and the big stuff in the background all day to inspire you.

Hi, love all your videos (and obvs your photography) so thanks. I liked the new style vid. I know you have streamlined your approach but for me its still a great watch. New bag sir? You cant brandish new kit without explanations. I'm sure its against KZfaq policy... Nonsense aside, i'm looking forward to your Wainwright journey. I'm slowly working through them myself so will be keeping an eye on your routes for inspiration 😁 Also really liked the extra photography stuff. You talked about composition, photo oppurtunities etc. All great insight. I like the fell shots with signposting too, would love to see more of that. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Really enjoying the new format, in my opinion it's better, great in assessing the hike and if it's something I could manage and enjoy. Also a great idea to do all the Wainwright's, obviously some of the main ones are covered pretty well on KZfaq, but there are many like these two which have plenty to offer, are less crowded and get no coverage. Well done!

Hey Glenn, glad to see you back out on the Fells. Love that you’ll be bagging the Wainwrights and that you’ll work through the books in turn. Liking the new unfussy production (esp. if it means we get more Fell action 😋) but do hope that you’ll find time to get the drone out just occasionally. Appreciate it’s a ball-ache but the footage is always SOOOOO good. All the best and keep up the great work. 👏👏👏

Hi Glenn. Love, love, love - the content, the format (not that I didn’t love your previous format) the views, the waffle, the routes, the Wainwright series to be….Thanks for your efforts and for sharing. Keep them coming; we’re 100 Wainwrights in and so are looking forward to you covering the ones we are yet to do. All the best, Yvette and Mark. PS, a bit of your amazing drone footage every now and then would always be welcome 🙏

Really enjoyed this one. I enjoy all your videos but this has got me interested because I’m doing all the Wainwrights too! I’m up to 83 so far. I intend to finish with the biggest, Scafell Pike and have a celebration on the top. Looking forward to following your adventure as I complete my own. Maybe see you out on a hill one day. Good luck 👍🏻

I don't even bother going out in these conditions. My Viking DNA melts within 2 seconds. 😞

Love the 'stripped back' vlogg. Just as enjoyable and I imagine alot less time to shoot/prepare? Looking forward to joining you at the remaining Wainwrights 😀

Happy you’re back mate, great little walk this. Been to the top of little on one of my Ullswater Way walks, never done Great. I’ve got about 8-9 to do in the Far Eastern fells before I focus on the Eastern. Summited 35 in total so far. Enjoy and stay safe mate.

Great to have you back Glenn. This series is just what I need. I too am completing the Wainwrights, also for the views and not just bagging for the sake of it. To be honest you set me on this voyage when I started watching your channel during lockdowns, so thanks a bunch pal. Will be up in Keswick in a few weeks to do a Coledale horseshoe. You are right though. Was on little Binsey a couple of months ago and the views were very dramatic, so big is not always beautiful. Keep em coming Glenn, it’s very addictive viewing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
