Catstye Cam & Birkhouse Moor. Lake District. 20th April 2023

50% 1

A walk up to two Wainwright Fells in the Lake District, Birkhouse Moor (718m) and Catstye Cam (890m)
The walk starts from the Pay and Display Car park in Glenridding next to Ullswater and follows the path which runs beside Mires Beck up to the North Top of Birkhouse Moor before following the wall to the highest point of the fell at 718m. From Birkhouse Moor we follow the path to the " hole in the wall" before heading to Red Tarn. We take a well earned break at the Tarn before the climb up to the superb summit of Catstye Cam( 890m)
The views from Catstye Cam are really good.
From Catstye Cam we descend to the path which runs beside Red Tarn Beck and follow this back to Glenridding. Distance is around 7 miles.

Another cracking video Eddie. I love the views of Helvellyn, Red Tarn and the surrounding fells from Catsye Cam. Simply breathtaking. Thanks for posting. Really enjoyed it.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Thanks David, it is a great walk with stunning views all the way. I agree with you about the view looking back to Helvellyn etc from Catstye Cam, it is superb! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Fabulous Eddie. Put a big smile on my face. Great video as always and beautiful weather. My son was over from Denmark last year and we did 2 walks in the Lakes. This was one of them! The only difference was that we ended by sitting outside the Travellers Rest having a pint in the glorious sunshine! Memories that will be with me till my dying day. Thanks for posting.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Thanks Alan. It is a great walk with stunning views. Pleased you did this with your son, as you say, memories to treasure. The Travellers Rest is an ideal place after this walk to have some liquid refreshment! This is definitely a walk we will be doing again sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Thanks so so much Eddie, these videos really lift up the spirits of an old (can no longer even think about fell walking nowadays) man. Cheers

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi David, thanks. It is good to know that the videos are of some help in lifting your spirits. I try to capture the views we encounter throughout the walks. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes. Eddie.

What a fantastic walk and in the best weather too …we always have a coffee in our “local” Helvellyn country kitchen in Glenridding 👌👌

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Neal, it is a really good walk with stunning views all the way. We both had a great day. We will have to try Helvellyn Country Kitchen next time we are in Glenridding, it sounds ideal after a walk like this one. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@davedyer9925 Год назад

Well done Eddie another great video. I remember climbing Castye Cam a few years ago and I left my sunglasses on the summit! Found myself checking your video to see if they are still there ... sadly not. Great to meet up with you and Carol for our pub meal in the evening. Must do it again sometime.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Dave, thanks. I'm afraid we didn't come across your sunglasses on the summit of Catstye Cam, although we did see a cool looking Sheep with shades on, as we headed down, ha! This was a cracking walk topped off by a really nice evening with you and Pat. We will definitely have to do it again sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care & Best Wishes. Eddie & Carol

@TheHikingHermit Год назад

Looked like you got a cracker of a day for it. Love the views off both of those tops.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Thanks, it was a great day. The views were superb. We both really enjoyed this walk and it is definitely one we will be doing again sometime. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@andypalmer959 Год назад

Great video Eddie. Looks a great alternative to Helvellyn. Ill deffo be giving it a go. Thanks for sharing.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Andy, thanks. It is a fantastic walk and definitely a great alternative to Helvellyn. There was a constant stream of people heading to Striding Edge while we took the quieter route to Red Tarn & Catstye Cam. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

I did it last summer, at the weekend forgetting until I got there it was a Bank Holiday weekend! I went up via Landy's Tarn but ended up on the main track, which I wanted to avoid with all the day-tripper's. Lovely weather for a hike and nice to still see a bit of snow on Helvellyn and I found it a nice walk to Catstye Cam a with a quieter and (imo) better summit view than Helvellyn too. Nice walk and a nice meet up for a drink and meal to finish off a great day, cheers Alan

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Alan, I can just imagine how busy it would have been when you went on the Bank Holiday. It is a really nice walk with superb views all the way. Catstye Cam is a great summit with stunning views. We both agreed it is a walk we will be doing again as we both really enjoyed the day. We met Dave & Pat purely by chance the previous evening and agreed to meet up for a meal. A nice evening to round off a great day. Thanks for watching & commenting Alan it is always appreciated. Take Care. Cheers. Eddie. ( We were on Windy Gyle in the Cheviots this morning, never saw anyone until we got to the summit) Another really nice walk.

@DAoutdoors Год назад

Hi Eddie, hi Carol, wonderful video, you had very similar weather to what I had when I did Helvellyn and Catstye Cam. Thank you so much for sharing your day as always. I'm off to to Illgill Head and Whin Rigg tomorrow from Miterdale via Burnmoor Lodge. Hopefully I get similar weather to what you had on this one. Cheers Dave

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Dave, it was a cracking day and the weather certainly helped make it even better! The views were stunning throughout the walk. Fingers crossed you have good weather for your walk tomorrow. Illgill head & Whin Rigg is another great walk. The views looking down to Wast Water are great. Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie & Carol.

@peterh8970 Год назад

Many thanks Eddie. Fantastic weather, fantastic views all around. Really enjoyed your video. Birkhouse Moor is another one for the "must-do list" I think. A bit of a sad looking summit with such an untidy pile of stones! But the views sure make up for it. Last time I was in that area, I was informed by a lady walker familiar with the area that the correct pronunciation is Catst-i Cam (short 'i') not Catst-eye Cam. I don't know if she was right or not. But I'll stick with Catst-eye Cam. All the best.

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Peter, it is a great walk with stunning views all the way. I agree with your description of Birkhouse Moor Summit, but as you have said, the views make up for it. Like you, I have heard Catstye Cam pronounced a couple of different ways and I am still not sure on the correct way to pronounce it, either way, it is a superb vantage point with stunning views. Thanks for watching & commenting Peter, it is always appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@sidhorn7118 Год назад

Thanks for that Eddie. You showed my what I missed when I did exactly the same walk 3 days previous to you, which was mostly in clag, which was meant to clear but it never did 😢

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Sid, it is a really good walk with stunning views. We were really lucky with the weather and it just made the day even better. You will have to do it again sometime in better weather. Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Another great video Eddie ...Dunno how you do it with the weather...Last time I did that walk it was in the snow the views were amazing .

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Ian, thanks. It is a cracking walk with superb views all the way. It would be great to see the views in the snow like you did, although the views in " Caisley Weather" were not too bad either! Thanks again for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@SilvoTours Год назад

@Eddie Caisley yes looks very nice when it's white . Next time I do it I wait Caisley weather though . Living quite close I usually avoid the bad weather .

@ashleyjarnold Год назад

Great video, Eddie, and you got your usual weather too! Everything looks great in the sunshine but great visibility is another bonus. I know I'm irish but "The hole in the wall" didn't seem to have a hole!! I wondered when you started up the edge of Catstye Cam were you tempted to do Swirrel edge? I think the way Carol was ascending she was definitely not thinking that way!! Great route and a lovely way to end the day too. Regards, Ashley

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Thanks Ashley, the actual "Hole in the wall" was just up the rocky bit next to the Stile. It is often mentioned as the start of the route to Striding Edge. I was tempted to continue along Swirral Edge and up to Helvellyn, but will save that for another day. Carol was definitely on a mission heading up the final section to Catstye Cam, I stopped to change batteries in the camera and when I turned around, she was half way up! A great route we both said we would do again. Thanks again for watching & commenting Ashley, it is appreciated. ( It is getting closer for your trip to the Lakes) Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@ashleyjarnold Год назад

@@eddiecaisley5746 Great route indeed. I have a spreadsheet that I must email to you. Its a working plan that can be totally flexible. You can advise if the routes are viable! I did a short recorded walk yesterday so will blitz a video out at the weekend. We are off on sat week on a Baltic Cruise for 12 days so there will be a mountain of footage from that. Ashley

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

@@ashleyjarnold Hi Ashley, I would certainly be interested in seeing see your planned routes. Have a fab time on your Baltic Cruise, I will look forward to seeing the footage. Cheers. Eddie.

@chrisk3488 Год назад

Must be one of the first walks I ever did: Armed only with a imitation plastic army water bottle, acan of McEwans Export and a meat and potato pie...I need sherpas these days

@eddiecaisley5746 Год назад

Hi Chris, it is a great walk with cracking views. A can of McEwans & a meat and potato pie, sounds perfect, ha! Thanks for watching & commenting, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

Hi, I am hoping to do this on Monday, weather permitting. When you mention the hole in the wall, do you go through it so that the wall is on your right or do you stay on the path and keep it to your left. I have plotted the map, not entirely sure if you went to the other side of the wall. I was hoping to pop down to the tarn, and let the dog have a swim too

@eddiecaisley5746 21 день назад

Hi, you don't need to cross the stile. Stay on the path and keep the wall & stile to your left. We just crossed over the wall to take some photos etc. We then crossed back over the wall on to the path to continue the route. The path down to the tarn is really good and easy to follow, your dog should enjoy swimming in the tarn. Thanks for watching, it is appreciated. Take care. Cheers. Eddie.

@Muddipaws1308 21 день назад

@eddiecaisley5746 thank you Eddie I appreciate that.
