We're back! On the last August Bank Holiday of 2023, Neil pays a visit to the hidden gem of Seathwaite and, from there, embarks on a circuit, taking in Base Brown, Green Gable and Great Gable - a walk of around 5.8 miles, with 2,940 ft of ascent and descent. The return route is via Sty Head and the famous (and oft-photographed) Stockley Bridge.
On the way, there are waterfalls, cows, a Hanging Stone, some iffy route-finding and oh-so-much cloud and rain.
Check out the full route here: explore.osmaps.com/route/1823...

Hello from Florida USA. I've watched 3 of your videos, and I have to say , I absolutely love them. you do a wonderful job and I am happy to say I have subscribed to your channel and I am very excited to come along on more of your walks. I like going for walks here at home but we don't have anything nearly as beautiful as where your at. Have a wonderful day and I will see you on the next walk. Dwayne

You deserved better weather that would have enabled you to capture the outstanding view from Westmorland Cairn. The Styhead path was a packhorse route used by Irish Immigrant workers that came to work in the summer, by traders going to the costal towns and by smugglers, who, amongst other “ commodities,” smuggled the very valuable Seathwaite Wad. First ascended Great Gable in winter of 1969 from Eskdale Outward Bound School, who I owe my deep love of the lakes to and that I have shared with a son and daughter and grandchild. Remembrance Sunday on Gable is weird experience when as many as 300 people of all ages gather to join the Fell & Rock Climbing Club’s “Act of Remembrance,” in honour of their members on the memorial plaque who gave their lives in the world wars. Hope you do it again and get the view you deserve Thank you

Thank you! Will definitely be back - previously, I've done it from Wasdale, which is another great approach. Best wishes.

Every credit for braving the elements and giving us this excellent video. I really enjoyed watching. One of my favourite views in the Lakes is the one from the Westmorland Cairn on Great Gable but it would have been pointless on this rainy day with the low cloud. You still got some great scenery from Green Gable and on the way back down to Seathwaite. Really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for posting. PS I'm watching on yet another rainy day Doh!

@LakeDistrictFilms 10 месяцев назад

Thanks, David. You get what you get with Lakeland weather, don't you?! All the best

@nicmarlow6388 10 месяцев назад

absolutely delighted to have you back!! :) you have been missed! But... now, we've sorted out the "path" or "path" dialect, now we have the "plaque" or "plaque" one to resolve.....

@LakeDistrictFilms 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'll keep an eye out for other placks!

@ChrisSmith-di7un 10 месяцев назад

Great video as per your normal excellent quality. It’s great to have you back, you have been missed.

Many thanks, Chris. All the best

Great video! I was staying in the campsite at Seatoller during that Bank Holiday weekend and was also out that day, but I had elected to drive to Rydal and do the Fairfield horshoe where the cloud base was a little higher. I did Base Brown on the Sunday evening and got a few seconds of the Scafell Massif and Borrowdale before the cloud came in. Thanks for showing the scramble up to Great Gable in the detail you did, I’m going to be doing it from Honister at some point in the near future! Cheers

@LakeDistrictFilms 10 месяцев назад

Thank you - the weather that week was pretty wet, wasn't it, but hope you had a good day on the Fairfield Horseshoe, and that the wether is good for when you get to Great Gable. It seems, from circling it quite a bit this year, that Great Gable attracts the cloud, but it is definitely clear sometimes - I've seen it!

That was a very pleasant surprise. Your vlogs have been sorely missed. I hope everything with you is OK and we can look forward to more excellent content in the coming weeks. I will definitely be giving this route a go. If you are planning on doing Seathwaite Fell, head around to sprinkling tarn and ascend from there, it requires much less effort than picking your way up the side.

@LakeDistrictFilms 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! The last time I did Seathwaite Fell, I went up over Aaron Crags (on the way to Great End) which makes for quite a spectacular (but certainly not effortless!) day. All the best

@petescull371 6 месяцев назад

already looking forward to my next holidays in the Lakes - so: thank you and sorry for the rather banal comments that hopefully help you with your dealings with RU-vid

@LakeDistrictFilms 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for the engagement - always good to hear that the films are useful. All the best
