You’re our Sunday night tradition now. Cuppa, biscuits and a Black Crag vlog! Definitely prefer this to the football 🙄.

I watch each and everyone of your videos from start to finish. The pauses and small breaks to take in all the beauty is what makes them special. Don't change a thing. I look forward to your videos every week. Keep up the wonderful work.

One day later. I am still here and love the walks!!! This one was amazing!!! Thank you so much! I have thoroughly enjoyed being with you. Enjoy your break! - Gaylin, Ontario Canada

Absolutely superb once again and I truly don’t think there has ever been a better series of walking vlogs ever and certainly not your Wainwright collection.Your Vlogs are superb and an inspiration and I am actually honoured to be a Patreon. Thankyou so much. Kind regards Robin

I watch all your videos and i enjoy them all. This one is probably my favourite because it includes Scafell Pike and the route you took was amazing. Look forward to you doing the Northern fells and the routes you will take.

Fantastic video as always. I really appreciate you showing exactly what the paths are like and where a slight scramble is required. As I’ve got older I’ve developed vertigo and a fear of scree so it’s helpful to see exactly which routes I could manage and which might be beyond me.

Always watch to the end, find your videos so beautiful and relaxing 😊

I did this walk in April this year and many times and my goodness the waterfall is absolutely breathtaking. Whist at the waterfall looking around its like something from Switzerland just gorgeous. everyone needs take this route up Scarfell Pike. However, I always found Scarfell Pike a boring summit and very disappointing. But the Corridor route is something very special indeed. Piers Gill is spectacular and I could spend all day just there at Piers Gill. Scarfell Pike is (definitely not) my favourite summit so disappointing. Many times I have told people heading up Scarfed Pike to go up the corridor Route as this is way better experience than Scarfed Pike summit. This is defiantly the best route buy far. and I much rather spend more time at Mickedore, Lords Rake and PiersGill these are incredible places of outstanding beauty to behold. way more spectacular than Sarfell Pikes boring summit. Outstanding video Glenn and definitely the best route up Scrfell Pike... 💗....👍👍👍

Awesome as usual . Possibly the best of the series but they are all superb 👏👏👏 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very professional video, beautiful pictures, very informative, and I love your enthusiasm 🙏👍. As a side note, The Yew Tree pub at Seatoller has reopened, thanks to the guys at Honister. All the best 👍

What a finale to end the season, think this one topped the series imho. Fantastic scenery. My old knees are happy that you have done the walk for me! Thank you. S

I reckon we need to get a petition going to rename the fell back to Scawfell Pike!

Hi Glenn, I've been waiting for this one. And it did not disappoint! Mega. I've not walked up there so was quite excited to see it , very much my kind if walk. And yes I watched and always watch all the way through. Really difficult to put a finger on my favourite so far, all good. Thankyou sir.

You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for all the walks you have taken the time to show us. The stone paths, the herdies, the views, and that smell. This all makes up this wonderful part of the uk. I hope we can all treasure this place.

Great video. I think this one and Dow crag were probably the best from this series. Looking forward to the next one.

Brilliant walking and gorgeous views

So many brilliant walks ,the best for me around the Windermere to Grasmere and surrounding areas are best for selfish reasons simply because it's the area I know best

Throughly enjoyed this and looking forward to watching all your others!

It’s a wonderful route. The first part of the walk really makes you feel your in the land that time forgot.

Don't ask to choose a favourite video, they are all amazing in there own right. Looking forward to season 5 and the Northern Fells, they are my favourites. Have an awesome wee break and see you soon. From Stephen and Lorraine in Scottish Borders

I remember doing the corridor route after watching you do it last time. Tried to follow your route off OS maps, parked at Seathwaite Farm, but ended up coming up over Base Brown and making my own route down the other side of Green Gable towards Styhead Tarn!! Dont ask me how. Anyway, after doing the rest of the route successfully, I remember getting the point after Ruddy Gill where you drop into Seathwaite and thinking the same. "Why is the car not getting any closer!" 😫😂 brilliant video as usual. Thank you!!

Hellooooo….can still hear you 👍 All the vids are great , keeps me going until I can get back up there .

Looked like a brutal one man 😮 Also unlucky with Mark, howling 😂😂

Great episode. I’ve done the corridor a number of times and your camera made it look terrifying! I glad the Mrs never watched it with me 😂

I'm still here glen, end to end. I have no particular favourite, I love em all, thank you buddy.

Still here, loving it!

Watching from Costa Rica, wishing I lived there. Great videos, love it when people are natural and naturally funny, without trying. I watch your videos, Grizzly Gaz and Life’s too short simply for that reason 👌🏼

Amazing panarama Glen what a route, many thanks for a vast amount of thrilling entertainment your as star

Still here pal right to the end but yeah i agree the Corridor is amazing but it's my second fave route up. My fave is up Piers Ghyll, Not in the Ghyll it's self as that is a death trap but up the left flank with a lovely little scramble where the ghyll dog legs back to the left

Hi Glenn, watched to the end, as always Atb

Hi Glen, absolutely brilliant superb route and superb views to finish the season off. Thank you for taking us along with you. All the best Dave

Still here! 😁 superb. Wasn’t keen on the bad step lol hate boulder fields but loved the video 😍👍

I spoke to you on your way down to Esk Hause. I told you I watched your videos. 😊

Great route. I’ve done loads of times but always the other way round. Age and knackered knees mean I’m unlikely to get a chance to do it this way. But almost feel like I have through the video. 👍👍

I've been up Scafell Pike once and this was the route I took, look forward to seeing your take on it. :) BTW is your pronunciation of "Skidda" due to another previous misspelling on a map?

Clinging on bud.Great stuff

Watched till the very end, despite the technical issues. Loved the whole season. The Blea Tarn, Lingmoor Fell, Side Pike video was my particular favourite. Such a great walk! Thanks for sharing.

Defo interested in the guff....so many videos that show the.f. forward version I would love to get in those falls on your way up... I've always used Stockleigh Bridge and up the main path, but i may just try yours on my next one 💪👍

Great video, Awesome scenery, This is the first of yours I've seen, I'll see more.

Once more I salute you for the beautiful videos you make. Thank you for raising my spirits. My birthday is in July, which makes me a Cancerian--a water sign. There were SO MANY beautiful water falls in this episode! I will look forward to and count the days until your next season begins.

Just a sublime video Thanks for sharing

Still here!! 😊

Nowadays, my knees are screaming for mercy whilst just watching. Brilliant memories though. What was the black lens please, Glenn? Atb.

Fantastic vid once again, no clear favourite but I've been trying to choose a route for a charity walk planned for next year and the one with black sails in is my preferred choice atm 👌👍

You are too hard on yourself Glenn ( like when you realised the mic was off ). Us die hards would stick around even if you sat in a cloud for an hour with no sound or visibility😂🙌. Another belter of a video. I’ve done Scafell Pike but not the corridor route. I wondered whether it would be as good as the hype, its dayam pretty aint it!! I too an like you, 5 hour walk turns into 10 hrs if the light is good. I just stand there with my jaw on the floor on my walks lol. Im a member of the clan so will watch on Patreon too but like to support you here also. Thank you so much again for all your efforts and showing me a little slice of your world. Sundays are my fave day when I get a notification for your vids. Cheers🎉. Ange😃

That descent down to Stockley Bridge goes on for ever and ever! 😭

So excited for this 😃

Incredible Season of Videos, Beautiful Scenery all Round, Natures Perfection, and Brilliant Ending. Where’s The Spinoffs Taking Us, Highlands or Lowlands

The corridor route has been on my must do list for a couple of years now. Shows it off superbly in this video, looks so much more interesting than plodding up scafell pike from Wasdale. Views down those gullies off Lingmell remind me of looking down the gullies off the summit of ben Nevis north face, on a smaller scale.

I am still here wow! Such a beautiful wild walk ……I love all the walks you’ve done so can’t think of a favourite……hehe! 👌✨🌸🤩

Hi Glen, did the same route 2 years ago past Taylorgill Force loved it. Met thick cloud at Sty Head and beyond to Scafell Pike. Still a fantastic route. Nice to see it in full light. Lucky beggar.

Your best video, Glen. Your very best. In my opinion. Loved it. The views from Lingmell are stunning. Many many thanks. Xx

Top work Glen, I did this route last September. No Lingmell or Great End , 8 hrs. Hard going across the boulder fields and ruddy gill. Happy memories, thanks John.

My weekly dose of wonderment. Scafell is definitely my fave for views (and waffelage).❤

Fabulous yet again. I’ve loved all of this series (and all other series too 😄). I’ve done the walk up to Sty Head Tarn & Sprinkling Tarn which I absolutely loved. The trudge down Ruddy Gill & Grains Gill was exactly that…a long trudge down. Looking forward to your next series 😊

I watched it to the end Glen. It’s a fantastic walk and one I’ve done a couple of times. I’m looking forward to what you’ll bring us over the next few weeks. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I walked the Herriot Way through the Dales; we were both surprised how much we enjoyed it. The stretch along the River Swale between Keld and Reeth is gorgeous. Anyway keep up the good work and also what’s the name of the bar you visited at the end of the vid?

Got internet working . Cracking that . Stopping at Mary mount next weekend to swim in the lakes with friends and hopeful going to see and pick a new puppy whilst we are there to start new adventures 🐶

Great route of which I think is stunning. Just done this route Saturday 1.30am adventure and we loved it. Your vlogs are a joy to watch. Big up Glen!

Another great video, thanks for sharing this beauty. We did the route in reverse in bonkers heat 🥵 and when you looked back at Broad Crag col and said "soul crushing view" that was my thoughts exactly 😫. Especially after having trudged across what seemed like miles of boulder fields, then seeing the drop down.

Really enjoyed that series Glen……appreciate you putting the effort into making these videos. Your videos are a must watch on a Sunday evening (or Monday this week for me). See you finished with a pint at the Marymount hotel again, one of my favourite spots. Thanks pal 🙏

I did the corridor route and scafell a couple of years ago but it was cloudy so this was brilliant to show me what I missed. Bring on the next series. Keep up the good work dude 👍🏔️

Brilliant video Glen, dare I say your finest yet. Done Scafell Pike a few times in my day but never by the corridor route, this seems a must. Thanks again

was the route i took on my first time as i wanted the hardest walk up, no people had it to myself until i joined the main path towards the end !!!!!! fantastic video, liked and subbed

Wow, great season. Amazing walks, finished with the icing on the cake, scafell. Thanks so much. May watch that one again. 👍

Another great video Glen. I look forward to Sunday evenings and the beautiful Lake District. Thanks, Steve.

That descent down to Stockley Bridge goes on for ever and ever……. 😭

Have no clue how you did that hike in the winter time!! Excellent hike, rough terrain but AMAZING views!! Love all of your videos and hikes.. but I guess the wild camps are my fave followed by a wild camp with Super Finn LOL Thanks for sharing! Love from the USA!

Slight Side & Sca Fell episode favourite walk this series, which is why I copied it, then did your Harter Fell walk the next day. Thanks Glenn. Definitely going to do this one next 👍🏻. As you’re always saying we’re there with you, so technically that means I’ll have done them twice 😅.

Superb, thanks Glen. Brings back so many memories. For me, the best ones were Harter Fell and this one. Northern Fells with a few exceptions will be very different for certain.

Still here to the end fabulous 👌 loved every minute. I like all your videos but this area tonight I watched takes some beating. Peirs gill, great gable, lingmell. Done some of route coning down it takes age's. Amazing video absolute classic xx

Good afternoon Craig Thank you for the most beautiful walk and views and stunning scenery to looking forward to the next one i love them all what you have done have a good afternoon Craig Trace 😊

Hi Blackcrag.. Awesome video! Love the lakes and you always deliver a fantastic record. I have a passion for landscape photography and have just invested in a Canon EOS 4000D.. Could you advise what camera lens to get to bring up some incredible zoom in shots that you get. Many thanks and happy hiking! Regards, James

Brilliant! I need a way to like this a thousand times!!! Looking forward to the Northern Fells with great anticipation; some proper gems up there ❤

Interesting route up, some stunning views on this trip. Another great watch.

Glen! Thank you for sharing this amazing views!! 😍 would your ever consider to go hiking and camping at one of the challenging ones in Ind’sia 🇮🇩? You may get different experiences! Greetings! 🙏🏽

Another brilliant episode. I’m doing this route in the morning, what are people’s thoughts on adding in Scafell and Bow Fell to this route? And has anyone done the route with both Scafell’s and Bowfell?

Great video again and always love the Mary amount for a end of walk pint (or two)👍

Best route is start from Seathwaite, go up Grains Gill and get to Esk Hause- admire the view. Get to Great End and admire the view even more. Then take the path to Scafell Pike to reach the top. Come down a bit and stop at Lingmell, then descend via the Corridor Route to come to Styhead Tarn, and then return to Seathwaite. The best of your Southern Fell Wainwrights was the Bow Fell one when Bow Fell was snowed up.

Superb video sir. I’m heading to the lakes this week and am definitely going to do this route now 😍👍🏻

Really looking forward to this one 👍

What a classic route, the mighty Peirs Gill, awesome majesty! Great video mate & already got some tickets in 😂👍

Thanks, Glen, for your vlogs see you season 5👍🍺

Congratulations Glenn on another amazing series taking us along ..Your presentation and filming has to be one of the best around which really makes very enjoyable watching ...We are still on series one which hopfully finishing this year (fingers crossed) but cant wait to carry on next year after getting inspiration from your good self...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Brilliant bro, loved the southern fells every approach you chose was fantastic, best yet this one rave on ..

What a Geezer, nice route! Always done the 'tourist trail' up from the campsite, past Great Gable. Will give this a go next time. Cheers

Completely agree. By far the most enjoyable route.

Are you going to climb Scafell pike from Eskdale. A truly beautiful route.

Great video, the light conditions Monday were incredible. Was nice to meet you up on Lingmell Monday, I survived Lords Rake. 😆

Amazing views

Watched the whole video. I'm going to go for this route Saturday as such a brilliant watch. What time did you set of from seathwaite?

Ready and waiting 😜😜😜

Thanks

Bessyboot walk. Eagle cragg walk. Dow Cragg and Duddon valley walk. Harter fell walk. Pike o Brilisco walk in snow are all great. And will rewatch. Useful for research before doing walks. And if you can do it whilst holding a camera. Gives me a fighting chance without one. Could you spend a second or two longer. When you spin round showing the fell tops. Very useful. Look forward to next season. Don't take too long please.

Watching from Spain

Okay, yeah, I definitely need to see Taylor Gill Force from that side...

Awesome. The UK really shows it beauty during the hot months. Keeping an eye on EURO 2024 to

Stayed till the end as always. Great video, cant choose between the last 7 , not a fan of the bad step though! 😬

Glen me Jo and Sausage are always here

Are you going to climb Scafell via lords rake and Foxes tarn?
