2nd day on DALES WAY hits 41° 🔥 

If anyone's interested, the thermometer is a kestrel drop. When you asked me if I'd checked it, if I remember right, I think the first words out of my mouth were definitely best cut out of the video 😂 How people do backpacking on the continent in that heat & sun my pasty Yorkshire bod cannot contemplate. Locally, the little field-corner barns are called a cow house or "coohoos".

This is the best walking channel on RU-vid. In my opinion.

The rest of us love “ Hey Herdy “……..and the opening / closing of gates 👍

Oh my, I can't even explain how buzzing I was to bump in to you at Kettlewell! (Yumove lady!) Also absolutely livid with ourselves for not asking for a pic!! We talked about you all the way Home! You made my holiday, you really did! It was my first solo holiday to force me out of my comfort zone. I hiked solo every day & even went out for an evening meal. My ex hubby who was with me is my biggest supporter & best friend, he pushes me to go out & live! I've followed you for so long & it's one of my fave channels to watch....you most certainly inspire me to do so much more! Thank you for putting up such great content & keep putting the gate shots & hey Herdy's in there....we LOVE them! Debbie & James 😊

Please keep the 'hey herdy'. It wouldn't be the same without them 😊. Loved this section and very tempted to do at least part of the walk if we don't have time for all of it. Thanks for another great commentary.

I love that there’s an annoyed gate man and now a herdy man at home grumbling 😀

Every morning when I drive past a field of cows on my bus route, I shout " morning moo's" nothing wrong with talking to the animals

We love 'Hey Herdy' 🐑🐏

Please keep saying, "Hey herdy." i am always saying it when i am walking in the Lakes. Also, let's go to the van, "Mars bar."Cup of coffee and look at it. Your walks are the best. Top man.😊

Wtf! How can someone not like Hey Herdy 🤷‍♂️ Probably the sort of person who doesn't still look for conkers, play pooh sticks or wave their hand to open automatic doors by using the force. Loving this series. Keep up the good work sir 👍

The sounds of swifts in the morning is great

Keep doing what you're doing, that's why we watch your channel 👏 👌 👍

Very true, it is the very best walking channel ever as Glen explains everything on his walk, thank you!!!! 🙏 X

Loving this series. I've walked all over the UK, except for Yorkshire for some strange reason! This series has definitely shown how beautiful a county it is and has put Yorkshire on my future walking map! Stunning 🙏

I have been watching your videos for a long time now and it seems that whatever content you put out is always first class. Just like being there with a mate. Hope you do more of these long distance adventures and, like me, continue your human/sheep conversations 😂

Hello, as a very latecomer to the party please can I congratulate you on the quality of your videos. My wife and I both watch your channel and dream of the possibilities for walks once our 2 children have flown the nest. In all reality, we may never get to achieve these hikes but they are a really useful distraction, especially as we both have elderly parents in varying degrees of health. We have found both your hikes and town explorations to be extremely entertaining and informative. Please keep up the hard work and "Hi Herdies". Best wishes

My partner and I have 'Hey Herdy!" T-Shirts and people always compliment them in the fells!

Tell them to get lost! I love the whole 'hey herdie' thing. I find myself saying it when you do your silent walks 😂😂. Loving these walks 😊

Love this grassington looked. Beautiful. Such a lovely change from lakes. Thank you

I spent every summer of my childhood in this area and took my children to visit their grandmother here too in their turn. The lakes are the most beautiful part of England, but the dales are the prettiest. Trees on the limestone plateaus are rare, it's too dry, if you do see an isolated one it often indicates a sink hole, the entrance to a cave. I mentioned the dales barn in your last video; how hay from the field was put in the loft and cows overwintered below

Keep ye hey herdy up. I've found myself doing it all the time when I'm doing my walks all over the lakes. As you say it's a bit of fun. I do plenty of silly things while I'm walking all day.

After gate gate and herdy gate whatever next ! 😂 carryon doing what you do brilliantly, 54.2k - 2 people agree with me 😊 👍🏻

Well that brought back some good memories of the last black mass meet up. Felt for you on such a hot day but meeting such excellent company in the afternoon would have made up for that

I’m enjoying this series and the last one. I like that you camped this time

Just watched this, and it's so inspiring to watch. Please don't think it's just a route that goes on and on and on. It's certainly not to me. As years ago ( lots ) my late grandad did the dales way, and it shows me what he did and had to do, watch, look at, etc. I'm a big fat fella that would love to do what you and my late grandad did, but I wouldn't last the first 10 miles lol 🤣. But your a legend to to watch. Thanks and keep it up.

So enjoyed this... You just make the walk come to life for us to watch, a rare talent ...

I am enjoying these walks. Amazing to see your country in this way. Thank you! - Gaylin, Ontario Canada

I’m always doing the Hey Herdie… so please continue so I can keep blaming you 😉😂

My friend you were brave to walk right through those cows! Definately leveled up there. Love your videos, no fancy walk by camera work, drones etc. But you show us everything you are actually seeing instead of the flashy stuff. The chats along the way are comforting when I have grafted at work and just want to relax with a gin and lemonade in my van. Peace to you good sir.

Absolutely loving this...just like the Cumbria way series....keep up the good work! Really appreciate it...much better than the crap on telly.

Thank you for pulling back the curtains of life….. beautiful, inspiring and cathartic….. the arse kick back into life….thank you so much 🙏

Hey Herdy! I love it! Do not stop. I also love going through the gates and climbing over the styles. - Gaylin, Ontario Canada

This route is fantastic, i love Buckden, Kettlewell and Starbottom. Arncliffe over the other side is lovely, too, so is Litton I've been in the Buck Inn a couple of times. Food is delicious

Hey herdies is our favourite part of your videos and the scenery of course. I just wush we could get out but sadly injuries long covid and severe asthma have taken the sprimg out of our step a bit.

Can’t wait for the 20 miler 👍

Thank you so much for yet another awesome video that, on this occasion, saw you sweating your bal(BEEP)ox off while I was enjoying a cold shower. No video of yours is ever boring & is of an immense value, especially to those who just can't get out thru disability or circumstance. They can live & enjoy life thru you. On behalf of everyone who values your efforts, thank you for all your hard work in putting together the videos we so enjoy.

Excellent loved it what a great walk. Highly entertaining. As you say its like doing it yourself Looking forward to the next one Thank you

Pointing out pubs and cafes useful. Because if done in poor weather. Certain places to take refuge in a downpour.

I’m enjoying Glen. I stayed in Kettlewell a couple of years ago and walked that very lane into the village. Very pretty.

Keep up the 'hey herdy' i even do it myself on my Wainwright journey (1 left) 😊

Of course we're enjoying it. Loving going on the journey with you. It is rough walking in the heat though - here in Canada you often get heat plus the humidity, mosquitos, horse flies, deer flies, black flies, etc. to deal with as well. (hope no one stole your undies)

Thoroughly enjoying the long distance walks. Coast to Coast or Cape Wrath Trail next? Re clothing, have you tried wearing bamboo textiles? I find them very comfortable and they stay 'fresh'. "Hey Herdie" used to annoy me but not now...I even do it myself...I hope I'm not breaking any copyright 😂

These treks are way tougher on you then us sitting watching at home LOL. That sun was brutal.. perhaps you need a hat that would protect you better? But lack of sleep is not what you need. I do look forward to your eating pictures and love your wild camps!! That is a very nice tent. Hope you had a GREAT sleep and look forward to the next installment... God speed on the next leg.. one step at a time! Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!

Gratitude is always a good mindset 💪

Thanks for sharing again fantastic walk that , kettlewell is a hidden gem, looking forward to blencathra though, rave on ❤❤

Its interesting to be introduced into part of the country I've never been too. Also as used to Cumbrias rugged beauty. To find something quiet near and very pretty. ( At least in good weather). 😊

He's back and with cows.

You've inspired me, next year I will repeat The Cumbria Way, the best bits - Coniston to Caldbeck then back to Keswick via t'other path i June and might think of walking The Dales Way later in 2025.

Definitely helps love it 😀

Love this series, as well as the Cumbria Way. I attempted the Dales Way in April this year, but bailed out at Sedbergh due to the rubbish weather conditions. It was so wet and wild. It even snowed! So it's great to relive it all in better conditions. I recognise all the stiles gates and paths. Looking forward to the rest of the series and your next trips.

The whole family are watching today! The loved the cows!!!

Looks like a great walk. I did the Dales High Way in July and this tempts me to give this route a go as well to see more of the Yorkshire Dales 👍 If you’ve not done the Dales High Way you should have a look !

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Buckden ,the campsite belongs to my sister & brother in law ! a lovely site but the weather you had can’t be guaranteed 😅

Another fantastic video! And I can certainly say your enthusiasm for walking/hiking is rubbing off on me so keep up the great work. I went for a 13mile walk in the Peak District again this morning up Jacobs Ladder (powered by Mars bars and haribo tangfastics), I now seem to have to talk to every sheep (and cow) I pass and get excited about light patches and shafts of light around the landscape, and I’ve never looked behind me at the view so much in my life😂.

What a great vlog , I love this area (minus cows 😂 ) a smile from the bar lady would have been nice , smiles don’t cost money but always make someone’s day 😊 . Not sure how many styles you went over in that heat 😮 keep up the walking 🚶 luv watching 👀👍

Who’s the handsome chap at the end that you look like? Sensational video, showcasing Yorkshire at its finest. I feel for you on day 3 but I have a feeling it has a happy ending.

Keep the sheep greeting up. There is a small flock across from my house and it's become my morning greeting. I'm a firm Hey Hurdy fan!

Very nice. Thats warm..

Love the videos Glen, always look forwards to your next episodes, many Thanks. 😊

I'm really enjoying these 'Ways' series. If you do another perhaps something down south like the South downs way or part of the south west coast path?

Great vlogs Keep’em coming shows us great places to visit 👍

Addicted to your videos, so great!

Another great video. You made walking in that heat look easy! I am stressing about your food for day 3 though - I couldn’t do it without tea and food!!

Inspired by your vids mate. Out hiking every other weekend. With a camera 📸 and now own a vaaayn! Also, i too walk by sheep and say hello. You're not crazy. Or maybe we both are 😂

Excellent instalment of a wonderful walk.

Woop woop! Uploaded 4 minutes ago. 😆 Let's see what your 2nd day brings. Love the relaxing vibes of your vids.

You walked past my house in grassington!

That's my tent for cold weather.... love it

Decided to watch this earlier on a Sunday night otherwise I end up with my glasses on the end of my nose giving it zzzzzz 😂 no reflection on your video I love them it must be all that fresh air you bring into my living room 😊

It definitely is worth doing this. You doing this for us is fabulous because I certainly wouldn’t be able to and you are kind enough to do it so then we can see it through you.

Love that part of the world, hiked there many times. Also have bagged all the Wainwrights. Found your videos a couple of weeks ago, now can't stop watching them! Now retired to the Isle of Man.

Ahh nothing better than a Sunday evening BC Binge. Currently staying in Wasdale and there’s signal! Weathers awful so keeping the walks low down this weekend. Mountain Rescue are busy enough!

The icebreaker merino wool baselayer is one of the greatest items of outerwear ever created. They are mega 🙌🫡

Wow! You’re getting the summer hiking weather we have in the States. On longer trips there are many days where we (long distance backpackers) are up just as it starts to get light, hike 12 miles, stop and nap/rest/eat/sit in a creek, whatever, for several hours and then hike the last 6 or 8 miles in late aft to dusk. You have to make adjustments here where we get heat like that for weeks at a time, all summer long.

🥰the way you say hi to the 🐑, 🥰the series, 🥰the 🏘️, 🥰🏕️, 🥰🏰🇬🇧

Hi,really enjoying your walk mate,I did Dales way back in the 90’s,it’s one of my favourites,a walk that’s possible for all abilities don’t you agree?,looking forward to the coming days,atb Colin P,

Those holes could be bank voles, mice, or yellow necked mice. Hopefully, not a snake.🇬🇧🇺🇲🍻

Good morning crag And thank you for a lovely walk I like how you talk to the sheep’s so carry on I say what you say now to them looking forward to the next one have a gd day crag x😊

I love these walking videos so much. We are heading to the UK next year and have added some places to the itinerary solely based on your walks. I've got to say though...I hope the people behind the counters aren't as grumpy when we're there as they seem to be when they serve you. 🤣🤣🤣 Don't seem to smile much or say "goodmorning". 😆

Love your videos! Always look forward to a new one dropping. I find them incredibly relaxing, especially after a long day at work.

I'm enjoying your multi day hiking videos, and I think you should do them Foreverrrrrrrrrrr and ever. I do miss Finn though 😍

The dalesway so far looks amazing, it's not been on my radar but it is now. Love it!

So happy. Been waiting for this. Brew & Black Crag. Dales part 2. Cracking start with the brekkie. 👍👍

Another great walk and beautiful area,you have the best job in the world

Look forward to your videos , thanks for taking us all with you

Loved your philosophical chatter today. I do miss 'Hey Herdy' though, how about 'Hey Swaley'?

Well done Glenn, it was a hot one. I love all these wonderful Dales villages, I've spent so much time going up and down here. It was a bit of a gate challenge but you did so well. Really great, Thank you. 🥵👌

Another brilliant video, you had a really great day for it, too. I can't wait.for the next one 😊

Really loving these vlogs - those baps looked fab! If you brought your 'smelly pit' t.shirts from Nepal then I doubt very much they're the real deal, which is probably why they were smelly... Love the vlogs - more please!

41! That must be Fahrenheit! This is Yorkshire.

Loving this walk...we remember sitting outside of the pub in Buckden after a long hot day watching a Thunderstorm👍🏻😁👍🏻.....im also complaining about the 'hey herdie' only because its so addictive to say when you see 1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Super blog as always - great insight into the dales way and straight onto the bucket list.☀️☀️✔️

Great video 👍 I hate smelly synthetic baselayers. I use Basefresh by Nikwax or laundry cleanser by Dettol or Astonish. Works a treat 😊

Hi glen, Great set of videos realy enjpyed watching. The links for the route on os as dead for some reason.

Hi Glen, I hope you read this 🙏 Could you upload the gear footage from the hotel room as I'm planning the Cumbria Way walk in the next few weeks and trust you were well organised... I'm also doing Carlisle to Ulverston and any advice on maps, apps etc would be greatly appreciated... Keep up the great content 🙌💙👍

Loved the video looking forward to part 3

Loving these videos as usual glen just great as i havent done much walking ang camping this year like you said wheres the year gone to aready

No wonder there is no shade, all the trees have been cut down to make all those little gates! 🤣 Another great day and it does appear you are getting braver with the cows! Really looking forward to next weeks video already.

I really enjoy these trail vids. I wouldn’t fancy walking from Buckden to Dent with a heavy pack and in hot weather, but fair play if you made it. Last year when I walked the Dales Way, I walked from the Lion at Cray to the Station Inn at Ribblehead (and that was enough). Looking forward to part 3.

Hi Glenn, been waiting for day 2 with baited breath and it finally arrived. Stunning video and commentary of your journey. - Your camera work is brilliant and is not a surprise to learn you are a professional photographer - you have an artists eye. Watched all the Cumbia Way videos and many others.. Really feels like you had taken us on the journey with you and you have a great tone to your voice that has a depth that draws one in. Anyway, my gratitude for your videos. Have subscribed and checked out you website - and will place an order soon - once I can choose a few - as each are so appealing.
