To you who are strong from vast Mother Nature... Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful scenery you've allowed. And it's absolutely fantastic. 12:23 14:02 15:23 👍👍😍😍 May God be with you..❤❤
I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views, it was great to be back hiking in the Lake District National Park. The ruined peat huts with the Haweswater reservoir backdrop were a sight to behold. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. I hope you're keeping well 👍🙂
Wooooww!!! Awesome visual production and video editing. High quality of images. So beautiful, sweet and smooth. Much inspired and talented. A real peaceful and relaxing pleasure to watch. Full of poetry and spirit. Good for the mind and the eyes. Great visit and discover. Fabulous filming. Big big big like for this fantastic perform and brighting sharing. Splendid and luminous.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the captured views. It sure was great to be back hiking in the Lake District and a super few hours out in the hills. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend, my friend 🙂👍
Paul, this was a beautiful walk! Really enjoyed seeing a different wainwright that i've not heard of before. The views over those lakes are again spectacular! Thank you for the wonderful video and the calming walk!
Hi Alessa, I'm glad you enjoyed the views I managed to capture. It was great to be out hiking in the Lake District again. The views over the Haweswater reservoir dropping down into the ruined huts were probably the highlight of the walk. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend ahead 👍🙂Paul
Like 74 Awesome footage capturing the beautiful alluring scenery, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.
Starting from the video are already amazing 👍. A lot to offer after watching this. The scenery are so incredible ❤️. You’ve got a perfect weather not too hot and not soo cloudy. Stay safe and thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing. Have a great day 👍.
This is again a very nice video of you. Looks like a great hike. It's very beautiful there. Wonderful nature and landscape. I really enjoyed watching. Many greetings 😀
Well I did say I'd be out doing some proper hiking and it was good to be back in the Lake District National Park. The highlight of the hike was probably dropping down towards the ruined huts with the Haweswater Reservoir in the background. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍Paul
Hi Paul, back to some "proper hiking!" I enjoyed seeing the waterfalls and fast-flowing streams. Interesting seeing the patches of ice at the higher elevations. Beautiful views all around and the historic ruins were very attractive. It looked like a very hermit-friendly hike! 👍😀 It wouldn't be quite so pleasant if you had the task of carrying a corpse 🤔 Thanks for taking us along - Julie & Lucy ❤
Hi Julie n Lucy, oh yeah back to the proper hermit hiking. It had rained plenty enough in the preceding days so plenty of water flow. This was the day before Good Friday so still pretty icy up there and chilly with the wind if you're not wrapped up. The best views were dropping into the ruins with those views of the reservoir and surrounding fells. I've been up to the summit of all those fells too 😂 I'm not sure I'd want to carry a coffin down there for those views tho. I hope to do the walk again one day when the sun is shining with blue skies. I'm glad you enjoyed the hermit hike. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
There were quite a few cascades on this one and I'm sure they have names. The ones dropping off the length of the mountains were spectacular with the recent rain that had been put down. Maybe I should bag all the waterfalls in the Lake District when I'm done with the Wainwrights. Then again I'm sure it runs into the 1000s 🙂
Good Morning. I'm so glad you enjoyed the captured views. I was wondering the hills on my own again. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great day ❤Paul
Wow you captured some beautiful scenery from the lake district! What a place and the ominous clouds and sky gave the video an atmosphere all of its own. I love those pillars that are darted along the hillside! It reminds me of something out of lord of the rings :) The Haweswater Reservoir looks stunning!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the captured views. It's been a while since I was in the Lake District so it was great to be back. Even with the moody skies the views down into the Haweswater reservoir were quite stunning. However I do hope to return one day when the sun is out and a blue sky. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍
I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views. It had been too long since I had been hiking in the Lake District National Park. I always film in 4k to hopefully capture those great views. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul
Such a beautiful mountain and landscape. Beautiful gloomy at The Peat Huts. Looks like the rain is coming. Have a wonderful day. See you again soon. Greetings Amie🇳🇿.
Hi Amie, I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views from the hike. It was still a beautiful view from the peat huts despite the moody weather. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend 🙂👍Paul
It was good to be back in the Lake District hiking again. I'm glad you enjoyed the views I captured. Thank you very much for taking time to watch and the 👍Have a great week, my friend 👍🙂
That pass looked quite a walk up . Nice looking weather for a hike . some nice views on the way to the top. well done reaching Artle crag and the summit point pillar. Nice Reservoir views . Cool looking old Ruins of the Stone houses what a place to stay definitely make a good Hermit hut . Well spotted waterfall shame the rain came at the end . Thanks for taking us along with you Hermit good video 📹 👍
The walk up the pass was a shock to the system. I've not been hiking proper for too long. However I was rewarded with some great views on a moody day. The drop down into the old ruined huts had the best views. Nice place for a hermit hut I'd say. Some smashing waterfalls along with the way with all the rain that had fallen. Thank you for very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
Beautiful place!! Loved seeing the cascading waterfalls and the icy patches on this epic hike! The clouds and the winds were putting on quite the show; Very dramatic! Your hike seemed relaxing to me (no bodies around..lol) even though it was a good climb and a little chilly! Always a pleasure Joking Hermit! 🥾
Hi Tracy, I was back in the Lake District where my channel all started from. It was great to be back bagging the Wainwrights. This one was a relatively short hike but very hermit friendly. I barely saw anyone except at the car park. The wind was pretty blustery but I was wrapped up well so all good. I'm glad you enjoyed the views from this hermit hike. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍The Joking Hermit
Good to see you back in Blighty Paul! A cracking day out in the Lakes. Weird seeing snow on the tops still, winter feels like a distant memory here 😂 the Peat Huts look a decent spot for a cheeky camp. That walk covred a heck of a lot in only a few hours!
Hi Matt, well I had to come back one day, I have those Wainwrights to finish off. This was the day before Good Friday so it still gets chilly up in the Lake District fells especially with that wind. The higher fells had more than a dusting of snow too. The peat huts did look a great spot for a camp and those barrels could come in handy for a fire. It was a pretty short walk but had some awesome views over the Haweswater reservoir. Thanks for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
A perfect hiking experience for me to watch with morning coffee. It has a quite a refreshing atmosphere, creeks and bogs, snow, quite an experience. Pillars and cairns are nice features at the summit points. The Old Corpse Road is really something! Thanks for another great hiking experience shared. 👍⛰📽
It was great to be back hiking in the Lake District. I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views from the hike whilst drinking your coffee. There were one or two unique feature for sure on this hike. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're having a great weekend 🙂👍Paul
How good it is to see you doing some proper hiking 😃 (No catching the train to the top here !) Great to hear you're ticking off the Wainwrights again & yes I remember how much you loved conquering those Birketts with me 🤔🤣It was an excellent choice to do these two on a Bank holiday weekend, the weather was kind and it looked Hermit friendly away from the Easter crowds. You got the ideal time plus some fabulous views 😎 That pillar trig is really intriguing & you got some brilliant shots worth climbing the fence for. There's been very few decent hiking days this winter with sooo much rain & strong winds & in fact I did a circuit of Hawswater this last weekend & even at that low level was difficult to keep upright. However lots of rain means the waterfalls are spectacular and the reservoir full which is good news for all the thirsty people in Manchester 😊 That corpse road is wonderful & a favourite path for me with the peat huts setting off the view superbly. I have to say I was really concerned for your mental state at one point but realised I had misheard you saying Wi-Fi not wifey 😨😃 so all is well 😅 Great video Paul to get you back in the swing of things - hope to see more like this very soon 😊
I know back proper hiking and no trains or cable cars to catch...damn! Those fells weren't even Birketts anyway but they were good ones to bag. I did a few hikes over Easter and it was not that busy or not as busy as I expected. I mean I got free parking at 10.30 in the morning on one of the days! No £8 at Whinlatter for me 😂 It was pretty windy high up all weekend but not horrendous. I got lucky...with the weather. The views dropping down into the peat huts on the old corpse road were spectacular even on a moody day. I hope to go back one day when it's a sunny day and blue skies. Don't be daft with the wifey business. I might be daft but I'm not that daft ha ha. I'm glad you enjoyed the hermit back in the lakes. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍Paul
Hello my friend Sir Paul, wow! This is so an amazing the ambience and atmosphere are incomparable you can definitely spend a few hours here and feel the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful nature's. Enjoy hiking adventure and have a wonderful day!
Hey it's the UK 😄 You can tell by the weather! Looks like a good hike. Those peat huts would make for some great photos with Haweswater in the background. Great video Paul.
Hi Andy, ah yes back in the UK and back in the Lake District no less. I did snap a few photos at the peat huts. The views to the Haweswater reservoir were stunning. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
Hi Morgs Jo n Boo, it was great to be back hiking in the Lakes. I'm glad you enjoyed the views I captured from the hike. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're having a good week too 🙂👍Paul
Great way to start with a rushing stream and a gate The clouds are heavenly It amazes me how they looks like hills but also appears to be some good elevation gain I had to google it but can say they are nice looking Crags I would enjoy making one of the the dry rock pile pillars - impressive point The old rock house amazing Incredible to be in such a wide open space with little to no other people Well done Hiking hermit. Cheers👍
Hi Mike, the weather changes pretty quickly in the big hills and even more so in Scotland. The good, or bad thing about it you see it coming in so at least you can prepare. The camera doesn't really tend to give the elevation the right perspective but this one was a fairly moderate 2000 feet of ascent. You could say this hike was going back to my roots with a solo hike with no one for miles around. I think the best bit of the hike was dropping down into those old ruined peat huts with the Haweswater Reservoir view behind them. Those rock piles must have taken some building and some patience, no doubt. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great weekend 🙂👍 Paul
I did these last summer and really enjoyed them, especially as I was in good company too. Sounded blustery, the same as we had but I loved those moody clouds and what a great reminder of the fantastic scenery there. That road walk back to the car was the only part of the walk I did not enjoy, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, it sure was great to be back in the lakes. A bit blustery on the tops but it can be expected. Still got some super views despite the moody day. I'd like to do it again one day when the sun is out and a blue sky. At least the road part was downhill all the way. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Wow, I'm completely mesmerized by everything you do, I don't know how but it always turns out so seamlessly, thank you for sharing, fully watched every moment!
Some lovely fells there Paul...been years since i have been up there...i remember we ducked down to spend the night in Mosedale bothy below selside...thanks for bringing back a few memories.
It's certainly a lovely area of the Lake District and some cracking views over the Haweswater reservoir. I'm glad it brought back some happy memories 🙂
Its so beautiful all around here Paul and your footage as always was lovely. The views just go on and on and are stunning. Love those old stone house ruins and the view of the lake from there would be nice to wake up at especially with the sound of the waterfall. Hehe you would need wifi though like you said 😃 ~ Anna 👍
Hi Anna, I'm glad you enjoyed the captured footage even tho I had some technical issues microphone wise. I was a bit rusty at filming. The stone houses with the reservoir as the backdrop were the best bit for me. I will certainly have to return one day on a sunny day. Plenty of waterfalls to be seen on this one and those huts could with wifi 🙂Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Some people see piles of stones, I see stories. What a lovely intro. Oh what a stunning hike. Those views ( I know I repeat myself at all the video comments) are so amazing. The wind sounded cold, if a wind can do that? I'm so glad you make videos like this. It is a pure joy to watch you go places I'll never see. Happy hiking Paul. Greetings still from New Zealand. 👌🇳🇿🙋♀🥝
Hi Anita, this one was first time back in the Lake District for over a year and it didn't disappoint. It was tad cold on the day especially with that wind but I was wrapped up well and warm. I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views from the hike. I do hope to do it again one day with blue skies and sun. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. I hope you're keeping well 🙂👍Paul
Hello Paul. Nice well maintained gravel path. Excellent views of the waterfalls/ cascades, various trig points and reservoir. So true that it looked challenging but very rewarding. Excellent share friend
This one had plenty waterfalls and it was great to be back hiking in the Lake District. I'm glad you enjoyed the views captured. Thank you very much for watching 🙂👍Paul
Hi Paul! That was a great looking hike. It looked a bit on the windy side for you, but I am always amazed by those treeless hills that you have in the Lake District. The views are always amazing. I need to visit that part of the world someday. I hope you are having a great weekend! ~ Anita 😊👍
Hi Anita, it sure was great to be back hiking in the Lake District. I was a tad windy along the tops for sure. Most of the trees were felled years ago in a lot of parts of Britain. I'm glad you enjoyed the views I captured from the hike. If you're ever in this part of the world let me know. Thank you very much for watching. Hope you're having a great weekend 👍🙂Paul
Hi Christine, it was great to be back in the Lake District doing hermit hikes 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the views I managed to capture. I hope to do it again one day when the sky is blue and the sun is out. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend 🙂👍Paul
I'm glad you enjoyed the captured views. I was wearing waterproof boots so all good as long as you don't sink too much. The drop down into the ruins were probably the best bit with the view over the Haweswater reservoir. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're both keeping well 🙂👍Paul
God to see you back out in the Lakes mate. Lovely area - always pretty quiet on those two. Good way to avoid the crowds. Everywhere is so wet!! And interesting to see the Snow. I always thought those structures up there are impressive. Congrats on the 150 mate? 👏👏👏. Not too far to go to complete the lot!! Love those views across Mardale from there. I reckon those Eastern fells are the best in the Lakes.
Hi Dave, it sure was great to be back tho I did love my trip to Germany and Austria. This was the day before Good Friday so pretty hermit friendly for a hike. Then again I hiked all over Easter and it was pretty quiet! There was still more than a smattering of snow on the higher fells. I was on 149 after this hike but add to that in the days after. I hope to do this hike again one day when it's sunny and blue skies. Those views into the Haweswater reservoir are outstanding. Thank you very much for watching. I hope you're both keeping well. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
This was a hermit friendly walk with a hermit hut. Could have done with a roof and wifi tho ha ha. I'm glad you enjoyed the views from the hike. Thank you very much for watching 👍🙂Paul
I don't tend to hang around when out walking. It was good to be back in the Lake District. Thank you very much for the support. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
awesome you're back on the wainrights! this was a gorgeous hike, paul! can't believe it's been more than a year. love the 360s. old corpse road...quite a descriptive name. sorry for the technical issues! amazing how the peat huts are still there, but i wish the barrels were removed. any idea why were they left? you're right. those reservoir views are quite beautiful on a grey and overcast day. cheers! 🛴❤
Ah you have to go back quite a long way to remember my last Wainwright video but fear not I have some more to come. It's marked the old corpse road on the map as they used to carry the dead over the path around 300+ years ago. That's quite recent in the terms of UK history. My technical issues were with the mic and meant I couldn't go on camera without me sounding muffled. Me not being on camera could be a good thing 😂 All fixed for the next outing when I will show my mug shot 🙂 I'm not sure what the barrels were for or who left them but the views from there were pretty awesome even on moody day. I hope to go back one day to hike it again on a sunny day with blue skies. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Superb hike this Paul not done this one! We do miss the Lakes not sure we’ll get chance to get over there much this year! The survey pillar was interesting! Lovely views! What mic did you say you use with the 12 as this isn’t bad at all you were really clear and only slight wind noise that would have been awful with the media mod! Have a great week 👍
This hike had some awesome views and sure will hope to do it again one day when it's nice and sunny. This was my first time in the Lakes for over a year myself! The mic I'm using is the media mod one with the GoPro 11. It performed better than I expected in the wind but it meant I couldn't go on camera because on the GoPro 11 it doesn't automatically go from front to back mic which means it sounds muffled when I'm on camera. The wireless mic I have been using said there was no charge in the receiver even tho I had charged it which is why I was using the media mod mic. Anyway fixed that for the next video, as I did 4 days of hiking in a row over Easter. I still have some wind noise on the wireless, even with a dead cat on the mic, but it was even more windy than here in parts. Maybe you can let me know what you think after the next video. Thank you very much for taking time to watch. Have a great week 👍🙂Paul
Nice to see you back in the fields and mountains, although that first summit barely feels like a summit. Hard to tell the highest point without that mark in the middle. After you mentioning it, I paid a bit more attention to it, and I agree, we are spoiled in Switzerland for hiking paths. There is really nothing available that I could spot, and the path is not alwazs as obvious to spot.
It was great to be back out there in the Lake District to be honest. Some of the summits are not even marked properly. You need to be able to read a map and do some navigation on these fells, especially if the cloud/clag comes in when you can barely see 6 feet in front of you. The next day I do another hike and make a school boy error with the map reading. In Scotland the mountains tend to be even more pathless. I have done 2 munros in Scotland one time where I was pretty much the only person on the mountains and it was pretty much pathless. It all adds to the "fun" and you sure gain experience from it 🙂
You have some amazing places you hike. I need to explore the state of Michigan where I live more. We have a bunch of nice natural habitat here. So how many Wainwrights have you managed to bag?
Hi Leroy, well it would certainly help tick the exercise box for you. The Lake District is about a 90 minute drive from where I live but it had been too long since I'd last been. It was great to be back there. After this trip I'm up to 156 out of the 214 Wainwrights. This was the first day of 4 days of back to back hiking there over Easter. Thanks for popping over to visit. Have a great weekend 👍🙂 Paul
Hi Paul..oops my comment disappeared.. I like pillars and ruins highlighted at the opening. Beautiful scenery along the trail to the summits i cannot believe there is some snow still left along the hike yahoo paul..I cannot hear YOU...10:52 wow The winds are strong. There are no obstacles around the summit to avoid the winds... Your new microphone ...???? The color of those lakes are like black coals...wow 12:16 roofless stone houses/ruins stand still for quite a while, I reckon. oh no..sprinkles again...although you must enjoy being alone..I did not see another souls in your film. For my curiosity, why do you call it walk? instead of hike or trek? Nay definition among them? I am very happy to see you on the trail as I think you feel free....
Hello Ms Kayak, the pillars and the ruins certainly made the hike more interesting. Oh and the views over the Haweswater reservoir. There was plenty of waterfalls on this one. This was the day before Good Friday and still smatterings of snow but still pretty cold on these summits with ice covering the pools of water. I had some technical issues with my microphone so on this it's using the one on the media mod. It's rubbish on the GoPro 11 because you have to select the front or back microphone on the media mod. That's why I didn't go on camera very much on this one. The lake is just reflecting the sky. With blue skies the lake would look be a lovely blue colour. The second video I ever did on YT will show it with blue skies as I hike at the other side of the reservoir. The roofless stone houses will be more than a century old no doubt. I think they're old peat huts. I enjoy hiking on my own and I barely saw a soul except at the car park. The main reason I called it a walk is because "branstree and selside pike walk" is a RU-vid keyword for searching. I tend to get most of my views from search 🙂 Thank you very much for watching. Have a great week 🙂👍Paul
Hi Phil, it was great to be back out hiking in the Lake District. It was a tad cold up in the hills but I was wrapped up. The views were very clear considering it was a moody day. Thank you very much for watching. Have a great weekend ahead 🙂👍Paul
