Excellebt series, thank you. I wondered which way you were climbing up from Grasmere as it was my favourite day of the walk I did in 2002,,,, I climbed up and webt over the top at Hawes Gap alongside a waterfall for the last section and then to look down on Grizedale Tarn. Brilliant. That hut was locked then as well.
Hi thank you! Out of Grasmere I took the route that goes left by the bridge, instead of crossing over it. In hindsight, it would’ve been a much easier path than the one I took but I was just following my GPS map on Hiiker, so the person who made that would’ve gone up the way I followed! 😂 it was tricky & grassy but at least I had it to myself, save for all those sheep 😁
Prior to your arrival at Grisdale Tarn I noticed that they had replace the gass/mud path with stone steps, that should help control the errosion that was bound to happen over the course of 10 to 20 yrs. Tony in Essex
Beautiful filming. And the way you talk to the sheep, haha, I love it! And it's a pity that I don't like camping; what a marvellous spot you got there ❣
Hi Jennifer, loving the coast to coast videos 😊 I've been planning myself Since last year . Unfortunately recently found out I've got chrons disease so not been great for a couple of months but you're videos have got me excited again and more determined to get this in order and go for it I honestly can not wait xx
Lovving the video, I did giggle when I saw you take the route up to Grisedale tarn as a lot of people do this route only to look down and see the easier route 🤣. look forward to the next episode
Just came across your vlogs by mistake whilst researching the Gritstone Trail. All i can say is i am not disappointed. You make my vlogs look amateur 😂. Excellent work at hats off to you for taking on some of your walks solo. Awaiting your next vlog on the Coast to Coast.
Thank you so much! That’s so lovely, I’m happy you came across the channel & enjoy my journeys 😁 best of luck with the Gritstone Trail, it’s brilliant. When are you thinking of hiking it?
@Orenjen will be doing it in May time. But it's not set in stone. It's basically on my doorstep, so not having to travel too far. We live in Hartington if you know where that is?? Also watched your Chamonix one. That's bought back a few memories of our stay there.
@@thegreatexaggerator9077 possibly! I’m a 5’4” ginger girl with a backpack bigger than myself if you happen to remember seeing someone matching that description 😂
Oh yeah, direct sunlight in the UK can be 50C, so count yourself self lucky it was only 30 😉 That's why it's more representative to express the temperature in terms of air temperature, which is less (...but idk why, p'raps density 🤔). I didn't know what the Scouser meant by comparing himself to a Stolly Waggon, so I disappeared down a lovely Google rabbit hole reading about a 1960s basic 6 wheel drive amphibious go anywhere military vehicle, the Alvis Stalwart. What a good idea, the Grisedale Beck sign and camera hole was, both for monitoring and engagement 🙌 Lovely campsite at Ullswater. I remember baaing echoing over improbable distances - lovely weird init!? Must have a hidden amp set-up somewhere!
Honestly I think the UK heat is different from anywhere else! No idea why, maybe density, like you said? Hiking in it uphill with a heavy bag is something else 🥵 Haha amazing 😂 I’m very familiar with getting lost in wiki/google rabbit holes 😂 I loved the walk down into the beck, it was stunning, and yeah definitely a good idea for those signs for the restoration project.
@@Orenjen Oh deffo, on the weather - we have a nasty humid climate, because most of our weather arrives after passing over thousands of miles of sea, picking up moisture. Köppen climate classification are another rabbit hole for ya, Jennifer ! 😉😁
Hi, the song is called A Thether by Kylie Dailey, I get all of my music for my videos from Epidemic Sound but I do believe this song is also on Apple Music & Spotify:)
@@OrenjenI think I mentioned I went September 2021 had no rain, I think I will try to go on these dates. Your videos are very good, lots of footage of the trail.
Looks like you took the northern route to Grizedale Tarn - most people take the southern path - it is supposed to be easier?? As we reached the steep climb section to the tarn, the heavens opened and rained until we reached the valley floor on the other side - by the time we reached The Patterdale Hotel, the weather was glorious and we sat in the beer garden, drying out our wet weather gear while we waited for our bus to take us to our overnight accommodation.
Oh I'm not sure, what path is the southern route? Was it the path that would've taken me over the bridge that I spotted up at the top? I just followed the route marked on my map, but you're right it was difficult! And that sounds like heaven. Patterdale is gorgeous. I'd love to hike the C2C again but probably B&B it! I love camping, but I think if I hike without the incredibly heavy bag I would've probably enjoyed it more due to less fatigue which I think brought on some of my anxiety.
@@Orenjen push past the sheep and over the bridge. It's a long but fairly gradual path with a short but steep kick at the end just before you go over the rise to Grizedale Tarn. I tend to walk with HF Holidays - hotel to hotel, luggage transfers and pick ups between places when you don't walk into or out of the hotel. Not cheap, but at 60 the idea of carrying a 17kg bag and sleeping on the ground does not appeal. lol
Haha fair enough, yeah I can imagine if you can afford it then go for it! I would love to do it that way in the future, and I think I just might! I've done it carrying that massive bag, so next I can do it with a day pack @@richardhunter7363
@@Orenjen try looking up Sharpavan - I think they charge about £10/move. If you look, you can get some days when you don't need to transfer as there are good bus services i.e get to Keld and then catch the bus to Richmond where you have a hotel; next morning bus back to Keld and walk to Reeth, catch bus from Reeth back to Richmond; next morning bus to Reeth and walk to Richmond etc. You can have a few days where you don't need to transfer luggage or carry a huge pack.
Given you seem to have an affinity for both pine trees and sheep, I guess you settled on Oren Jen rather than Ovis Jen because the pine trees don't run from you like every one of those Ovis Aries! PS (Patreon rather than Pateron😊)
Haha I never thought of that 😂 it’s a name I’ve had for a few handles in the past playing on the word orange (my favourite colour, hair colour etc). And omg I never noticed that typo! So embarrassing 😂 thanks for pointing it out!
@@Orenjen sorry. I noticed it 3 videos ago but didn't want to be the guy that corrected you. Did you know Oren is Hebrew for Pine as well as sounding like Orange, because that's top tier wordplay!
