Thanks man, I was same as a kid. Got another 3 more videos to come from the trip and will all be longer so hope you enjoy...you'll certainly see the ups and downs of the trail!
Looks a decent stroll, unfortunately like most things local the lack of a regular bus means I'd have to drive up the A6 pay for parking and then walk down to Pooley and get a bus back up. Might as well just drive through Lowther straight down there. Ironically its easier to get public transport from Lancashire where we used to live (bus, train etc) up to Penrith, than from the village I live ten miles down the A6 Enjoyed the video. Think I'll stick to Loweswater though in the Mardale👍
Pleased you enjoyed the video. The bus services in Cumbria don't make a whole lot of sense I fully agree with you there. The buses for Carlisle are all over the place if you want to head to the Lakes!
Shame you couldnt get the tents up but still a good road trip lads class scotland like i was laughing when the iron bru truck showed up and that seat is a absolute topper to have a beer on class good adventure 👍
Found this interesting to watch good vlog buddy I love anything new of this place new sub cheers for sharing that's the same as me record the notice signs then have to go back on my own vids to get the info my self hahaha 😆 cheers
RE the wind, whilst in no way is this a mountain tent, I have had mine in 45 mph gusts and it was superb and still. I ran a length of cord with loops on the ends, acoss the short pole hook -on points which stopped them popping off. I also took the guys around the poles a couple of turns prior to pegging out. Solid.....and quiet.
Thanks for the tips. Night Cat are replacing the poles for me so it certainly won't be it's last run out, I do really like the tent just won't be taking it up high this time of year again.
@@Outbound. So did I until I was looking what to watch and seen you pointing ,like wait a minute is that cuzz?! Haha yehh would be nice 🙂 just mastered the stairs but ayye 😂
That stretch to The Lion - all the videos I'd watched prior did not do it justice - mainly because it goes on and on and on with nothing worth videoing. Next year I think I'll do an E to W crossing - mind you it'll be hotel to hotel and I can walk home to Whitehaven from St Bees after. Well done on finishing with the injury.
I quite fancy doing it again someday in that direction myself, it's such a great trail...well bar the part mentioned! Caused myself the injury in hindsight trying to get that out the way so fast....thank you though, much appreciated.
I went thigh deep in one of the bogs after 9 Standards - heavens opened at Ravenseat to wash the peat off before getting into Keld. You were walking during the coronation - we walked when the Queen passed - it would have been really sad but the rail strikes got cancelled so we could all get home easier. RIP QE2
I was wondering why you'd got off the train at Whitehaven in the beginning plus I'm surprised you didn't get onto the C2C route at Moor Row. Also, The George?? Did you mean The Shepherds in Ennerdale?
The Shepherds Arms, yeah that's the one. Fantastic spot. Like I said with the route I've done it all before so went as direct into the Lakes as I knew how from the coast.
Yeah you could cycle it, you'd just be on and off your bike quite a bit with all the gates. Instead of crossing the last of the fields towards the end you could always just follow the road down to Pooley Bridge.
Good to see the duo back together again, and nice to see Kyle getting into ultralight hiking by switching out his bags for life 😉 Great video mate and a cracking spot to pitch 👍🏻
Been a fan of Tim Robson for years now since he and John used to camp together. Don’t know what happened to those two but they used to make awesome videos. Especially the cooking ideas John had . I very used to camp cooking over coals and the food tastes better than cooking at home . Anyway looking forward to your videos too . ATB Gail from Worcester Massachusetts USA 🇺🇸 ❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Welcome aboard! Yeah it's a shame they don't speak anymore the pair have done some crazy things in the outdoors. Sure you'll get more content from both, I know I'll be out with Tim at some point in the near future
Found you thru Tim Robson’s channel. I will try your channel and go from there . Cheers .ATB Gail from Worcester Massachusetts USA !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤😊❤😊❤😊
