Yes I really enjoyed this walk Mark, a bit of effort was rewarded with great views over Ennerdale Water. The wind was much more noisy as was my breathing after walking up there, I've used a high pass filter and also turned the volume down quite a bit. ATB Roo.
@@WyeExplorer I ran the soundtrack through an audio editing program called Audacity and used one of the filters to reduce the harshness of the wind noise and give a crisper sound, I lowered the volume levels too.
Yes very good views up on this side and it was easy enough to get to. Funny enough I've just watched your Bowness Knott video, really good from that side too. I love any spot around Ennerdale water, Crag Fell was my first ever fell walk and I was hooked after that.
@Roolooth its a shame they charge at Bo'ness Knott car park now, and st Smithy Beck they have erected a load of big information boards along the cut down trail ,I've not been since they closed it to cut rhe trees down and started charging. Its a good walk though
Yes, on my recent visit I parked at Bowness Knott one day and was shocked to see so many trees missing at the carpark and surrounding areas. I think there's a policy to "naturalize" the Ennerdale Water area and remove vast swathes of trees, I'd rather them thin them out and maybe plant some decidious saplings. I understand the need to cut down the larch trees if they are diseased and the fact that the forestry commission sees the evergreen trees as a crop to be harvested and managed but it would be nice if they could leave a few trees here and there. The felling of the trees at the carpark will make it easier for the council or carpark management company to have cameras that spot cars without parking tickets, if and when they decide to do that, most councils or companies do that these days. I just wonder how much longer the other carpark at Bleach Green will remain free parking or have trees. Ennerdale water is like a big magnet for me, every time I'm in Cumbria I spend a day or two walking there and exploring other trails that I've not been on before. Pick the right time and you can walk around there for hours on end and not see a soul, perfect peace and isolation, then walk to exhaustion point and return home happy.
