Lake District Walks | the Buttermere Fells aka Buttermere Edge: Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag 

What a great video, well produced, on a wonderful day, selling some of the very best the Lakes has to offer. Thank you Neil.

Just found you. Fantastic video

The best medicine on the planet is the beautiful Lake District, another good video, always enjoy watching them.

Great video We really enjoyed climbing with you ,wonderful scenery and good weather -thank you

Enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing 😊

Amazing video, as always. I haven't ventured onto the Buttermere fells yet, but they do look stunning. I'm working through the AW guidebooks in order, and am nearly finished the central fells. Keep up the good work.

Pass or pass; path or path Let’s call the whole thing off 😜 Some wonderful footage & breathtaking landscape!

Fantastic video as always, thanks. Loved it, watched in 4k, looked amazing!

Neil, tough walk but lovely scenery and once again, beautifully shot. Thanks for sharing. Regards Kevin.

Fantastic channel. I particularly enjoyed this film. Keep up the great work.

What a great YT, properly broken in boots, commentary is knowledagable and clear, the video is great, an excellent job, channel subscribed. As an aside I first did this route in 1973 and have continued to revisit it over the years. The most memorable was in 1993 as I was walking between High Stile and High Crag and saw the weather coming over from Pillar, I reckoned I could beat it so kept going, as the thunder approached the next thing I knew was ears ringing, seeing stars lying flat on my face, I was very close to a lightning strike on the ridge (It can't have hit me as I'm here to recount the tale), I crawled my way onto my feet and made the most rapid descent of Gamlin end I reckon there's ever been. Once I got back to the car and took my boots and socks off my feet were black with bruising from the ankle to my toes - and they stayed that way for 3 weeks.

Great walk and good weather Will definitely be going here next month. Thanks Neil

re-living that exact walk we did in Aug 2020 (was blooming hot then too!) :) thanks Neil

Brilliant video, wonderful weather and views. I did the same route 2 years ago in wet and misty conditions so you've inspired me to consider doing it again! Buttermere looked majestic. Regards, Ashley

Brilliant video. I did the same walk in spring 2022 and it's nice to see you not sugar coating the effort needed to reach Red Pike. Another great video as always. Thanks 👍

Hi Neil, superb video again! The quality of your photography is fantastic. Been to Buttermere a few times and the scenery is stunning especially in the sunshine!

Another great video there. Just love them

Great video, the views were stunning. 👍

Great video! Keep up the good work!

Excellent walk and video

Hi Neil. Wonderful mate. I did that route last year on the hottest day of the year. Although I did Hay stacks, the video is on my channel. Thanks for sharing your adventure as always 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Top section of Red Pike is horrendous walking, comparable , almost, with Little Hell Gate on Gable. Though I did walk, slide and slither UP Red Gill on Grasmoor. You’re absolutely right though, going up is preferable to going down although the thrill seeking scree runners might disagree Worth mentioning that Buttermere Red Pike is the only summit from which it is possible to see five of the lakes at once as well as the Isle of Man on a clear day. I wouldn’t be dogmatic but I’m almost sure that it is JUST possible to see the tip of Northern Ireland as well. A really lovely circular walk with a stop at the unbeatable Croft Farm Coffee shop if you finish on time. Anyone confirm that Croft Farm Coffee shop was operational in 1974? I’m certain I had coffee there then, but even the staff don’t know. For any who’ve not ventured to Buttermere by road the choices are a hair raising drive from Seatoller, over the ALL the way down Honister Pass or from Newlands Valley which is steep, narrow and winding especially down from Buttermere Hause. The other approach from the east is the more sedate Braithwaite, Whinlatter, Lorton, narrow road. Don’t know the other roads from the west that lead to Lorton. Another alternative if you are in Keswick is the bus. One route is clockwise via Honister, the other is anti clockwise via Whinlatter. Your timing must be right because the last bus is early evening and is sometimes overcrowded and unable to pick up everyone that’s waiting so it’s an expensive taxi ride back!! Thanks for another video filled with many pleasant memories

Great music by the way

I love this ridge walk in one of my favourite places in the Lakes too. The last time I was up there a lady had got as far as Bleaberry Tarn, looked up at Red Pike and decided she couldn't go any further before heading back down again. I felt ever so sorry for her. I remember the disappointed look on her husbands face. It's an unrelenting pull up mind and that last bit where you said two steps forward and one step back is spot on. Did you not fancy walking across to Dodd? I think the view from there is better than Red Pike but that's just my opinion. The views you captured were really amazing. Terrific scenery and brilliant narration. Well done sir! I haven't come down the steep route you mentioned. Coming down the way you did is steep enough for me! Cheers for a cracking video.

Another great film, please don't tell me that they were filing even more Mission impossible footage!. The best part of all your films is at the end when you doubt that anyone is still watching :) of course we are.

Did this climb in airforces I did not come prepared but I didn't stop

This is incredible. How long was the hike? And how much time did it take you?

Are you sure about dodd not being a wainwright? I'm certain it is
