A 13.25 mile monster of a hike from the Bowness Knott car park in Ennerdale up to Pillar. I was hiking with ‪@eddiecaisley5746‬ and ‪@ashleyjarnold‬ and it took us 4 hours to reach the first summit of the day Pillar. After Pillar, we took in Steeple, Scoat Fell and the final summit of the day Haycock. A hard 10.5 hours hiking with steep, rocky assents and descents, testing all of us to our limits. Sunshine and stunning scenery kept our spirits high and the sense of achievement on completing this gruelling hike was worth every aching muscle.

The colors in your video are spectacular. The greenest of the green! The evergreen trees are popp'n! Showing the other hikers in front of you climbing up really shows great perspective of depth and size of the climb. False summits, booo! LOL! Your epic music showing the amazing views never disappoints my friend. How grand the views from the top were. Makes it all worth it. You were on top of the world! Loved this video Alan! They just keep getting better and better like a fine whiskey. ~RVA~

Great day to film with a partially cloudy skies and the Shadows of the clouds moving along the mountains. Those were a lot of false summits in the beginning but the View's going up with the lake behind you were amazing! You did a lot of miles today and they weren't easy miles either! Pretty impressive Alan good job!

Fantastic video, watched on the big tv , cheers 😎🥾👍

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

I can see why there are not many video from Ennerdale Peter, its a real long walk in through the forest just to get to the base of Pillar and the paths are just about none existent to be honest, it was just trying to pick your way up through the rocks, which was real tough going. Real pleased I have done it this way mind but would not do it from Ennerdale again mind lol. Thanks very much for watching buddy, cheers Alan

@JenniferLupine 2 года назад

Hi Alan! That sure was a monster of a hike with 4 rocky summits! Congratulations! Whew, I’d want to rest up after that too. Those rocky climbs with no clear trail are pretty rough on the feet and toes. The views were amazing- you could really see far in every direction…. beautiful. Hopefully that made the climb worth the effort. That was a pretty stiff wind too, the shadows were moving quickly across the mountainsides! Great to hike with friends! Have a great weekend and happy trails! - All the best, Jennifer

Blimey what a fantastic walk. Well done Alan, well done everyone. I bet you got a great sense of achievement at the end of it. Amazing views all round. 10.5 hours up & down, covering 13.25 miles really takes some doing but you were really well rewarded. The scenery all around was stunning. Thanks for posting. Loved watching

Thanks very much David and you called it, it was a beast of a walk but we were rewarded with some awesome views and the weather turned up trumps as well.

@ronmillburn8208 Год назад

Enjoyed that :-),,,Yesterday we did the route from Bowness Knott , Lingmell , Long Crag ,Steeple , Scoat Fell, Black Crag , Pillar (in the mist) , Red Pike, Haycock, Caw Fell and back. A mental and physical test even for a local. 🙂

@AlanMETALMAN Год назад

WOW, say that again, very well done to you all, shame you got mist on Pillar, as the view from the summit on a clear day was superb. I remember this day being a challenge especially with 5 hours (round trip) added on but looking back it was such a fun day too. Thanks so much for watching and talking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan

@christophershiels786 22 дня назад

Doing pillar on Saturday mate looks a brutal hike 😂

@AlanMETALMAN 22 дня назад

If you do it from Ennerdale, like we did, it is a bit of a slog, as we walked 5 miles before we even got to the bottom of Pillar and start doing any climbing, so that was our mistake. We also did a few other Wainwrights as well that day, so by the time we got back to the car we were on over 13 miles and I am bloody knackered, especially with almost 7 hours driving (round trip) on top too. Good luck on Saturday and thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

@54DegreesNorth 2 года назад

Wow Alan it really is a slog from Ennerdale !! For mr pillar and steeple are two iconic mountains of the Lake District skyline … whether your on haystacks , crag fell great gable you can’t miss the lump that pillar is !! Look liked a really struggle upto the summit of pillar, and plenty of scree to be scrambling over to Scoat fell You say Eddie brings the sun I think I bring the wind rain and clag lol The skies just looked huge on today … I bet the trek back was just hard going after a day like that, well done You’ve got me iching to finally getting this done now but now I know how hard it’s going to be Catch you on the next one pal … really really well done you smashed this one out the park ⛰🥾❤️

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

We ended up doing 13.25 miles and it was hard going, especially as I had to get up at 04.30 to get there. The walk in through the woods was great on the morning but never ending on the way back, man was I pleased to get back to the car lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

What can I say, Alan?!! I almost need to apologise for taking you up there but then I know deep down you really enjoyed it and you've created a great memory for yourself, Eddie, Andrea and I. We actually looked like we all enjoyed it and those views at Pillar and Steeple were just superb. I will have a crack at my video shortly, forgetting the Osmo camera was a major mistake on my part, but I've seen the Powershot camera footage and there's something to work with. The photos everyone took were just brilliant. Again, it was a privilege for Andrea and I to hike with yourself and Eddie - next time, I will try and plan a shorter one! perhaps Great Gable!!! Regards, Ashley and Andrea.

I remember thinking, one day you will be as old as me and have two knackered knees too but the best of British to him, I wish I was still young and as fit as him.

That is a pretty epic adventure Alan! That's a big big day! 10.5 hours... I'd have died, someone would have just had to drag me down in a body bag 🤣 I'm amazed there were no nose bleeds being that high 🤣 and definitely gives you a perspective of how high you are. another fab video. have a super fantastic weekend ☺️

Hats off to you Alan that was a tuff gig m8t 🙌🏔 A long approach March though the woods I bet that sapped the energy but you pushed on (epic performance (kept it real too)) Great effort 🙏🏼🏔😊 The views though to the east where superb 🤩 Thanks for this Alan a great film 😊 Very best wishes Simon 🙏🏼😊 Have a good bank holiday 🙏🏼

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

Yes it was, although, first time it was a very nice walk in but when we eventually got down it was a never ending march (crawl) but to the cars. Pleased I did it but never again would I do Pillar from Ennerdale lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

That route looked like a cracker Alan, but a tough one, a was tired watching you lot go up there, but them views at the top are something else mate, you don't get that kind of feeling sitting on the couch watching it on tele, you have to go and experience it. Well done to you all, atb Mick 👍

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

Absolutely Mick, you got to put the hard work in and that was hard work, still a very enjoyable day but not one I would want to do every week, 13.25 miles hiking is a long day when you have a 5 hour round trip driving on top. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

So my Nick secretly has a man crush on your awesomeness, not going to lie! We just watched this on the big screen as usual! Wow Alan this hike was epic, not surprised you were delirious at the end of it! 10.5 hrs? 4 peaks all just short of 3000ft in heights! Just incredible! You rock my friend and are such an inspiration! Would love to think we could join you one day and meet your awesomeness in person! Can visualise you skipping and wave dancing with us! Just kidding….we really are not that mental…but would love to enjoy your time and knowledge at some point Xx

Superb Alan , I was planning to head up that way this summer for a camp as I done the opposite hill (red pike) last year . Might need to replan it lol …. The pull up to pillar looks brutal indeed 😂 but you had the Eddie weather and what views there was , I spotted a few possible pitches along the way . That was a long day indeed and with the drive home 😂 kudos atb Dave 😎👍

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

I was up at 04.30 Dave and did not get back home till 21.30, man was I beat but still had a fantastic day. The route we took from Ennerdale was one mighty walk in through the forest before we did any climbing at all and it was steep going up as well. Best of luck when you do it marra and thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

@malgreenley-lakedistrictvi5230 2 года назад

That was a great video, Alan. I've never done that route up to Pillar, it looks like a REAL challenge. I bet you were the only hikers going up that way? The views were phenomenal from the top, so well worth it in the end. I was just over the valley on Starling Dodd and Red Pike. Superb stuff, Alan. Keep on keepin' on!

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

There was only one couple who were following us up that way but at a distance, every time we stopped they stopped, I think they were watching which way we went up, then took the same way. There were no proper paths, it was just looking at the map and trying to find the best way up. Pleased I have done it this way but would not want to go up from Ennerdale again. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

Thanks so much for watching and that was one tough assent, especially as it was such a long walk in through the forest before we even started to climb. There was no proper path up to Pillar from this way, so I know now why most people do it from Wastwater. It was a long 10.5 hour long hike, doing 13.25 miles and I was bushed at the end of it but still enjoyed the day, cheers Alan

So nice that you met that fan too :) Such great views and nice that you did it with Eddie and Ashley . Thanks for the walk, it was great to see :)

@stevebuttery6757 2 года назад

Hi Alan, fantastic video and WOW what a walk that was. Really impressive and what an achievement mate, superb. You guys obviously get on really well and that came across very well in the film, some good banter. That was quite a hike before you actually started the walk up Pillar and there was quite a few ups and downs to each peak which makes the walk even more impressive. I would imagine you slept well that night LOL. Anyway, great film as always Alan, love your big walk films in the lakes, take care.

@stevebuttery6757 2 года назад

P.S mate, your friend in the video is spot on when he said that most of the people that go to the Lakes and just sit in coffee shops and pubs couldn't do what you did, really impressive.

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

Funny thing was Steve, I was wake awake at first light the next day, could not believe it, as I was exhausted when I got home at 21.30 the pervious night, I think it was I was still on adrenalin . It was a real tough one for me this but real pleased I managed it and in good company too, I have hiking a few times with them all now and we all get on, which makes a massive difference.

@AlanMETALMAN 2 года назад

Haha, nope not from Ennerdale again but if I had too, I would do the same route again, as the decent off Pillar back to Ennerdale would be very steep and a lot of loose scree and boulders to get over. The way we went down was never ending bit it was a gentle decent after a hard days waking, which we all appreciated. Thanks very much for watching Stuart, cheers Alan

I’m sure you’ll look back fondly that you did this monster hike. I was stunned to see the wall at 11:33… who built it-? Is it an old fort? Or, is it part of a grazing area-?

Aptly named windgap.....lots of up and downs follows, good effort mate...Epic walk Alan, you three did exceptionally well Eddie has 20yrs on you lot lol. That was well worth the effort mate, very well done to you, you'll need 3days to recover after that..........ATB......Stu/Wendy.......👌👍👍........cracking day.
