Thanks for watching 😊 Please consider supporting the channel by becoming a member of The Black Clan www.patreon.com/theblackclan

I want to share with you how much your wonderfully beautiful videos (and this one is a favorite now) have shored me up during the last eight months of my now deceased husband's life. He passed away, without pain, on Friday June 7, 2024. And Glory be to God, I had this wonderful video waiting for me on Sunday. I can not begin to thank you enough. Looking forward to the next hike with you

I fell in love with The Lakes when I was a kid. It was always my intention to move there in later life, but that never happened, which is why these episodes bring such joy and comfort all these years later. Thanks so much for putting these out on a regular basis, they really are wonderful to watch.

I absolutely love your enthusiasm for The Lake District and walking the fells, you're like a child in a sweetshop which is exactly how I feel when I'm out. 😊

Stunning Glenn. The landscape in his video was very special and interesting. Not done the route and was very amazing by this place. I will do this Route very soon and take my time to fully enjoy the incredible landscape.... WOW!!! I could walk the Wainwright's forever with you, and never want series videos to end. I have done so many of your routes after seeing your videos and all is very special indeed. You will look back at all this videos in years to come with such fondness and the greatest of memories to keep forever. its like saving your life on video, and many other people will watch these videos for decades to come... Kindest regards... 👍👍👍 Your videos are like a video diary for yourself to look back upon when you're old with the fondest of memories..... ❤ You put so much into these videos capturing the best nature has to offer for that we are all truly grateful and thankful.

By far the best walk of all,magnificent landscapes,even more beautiful with the right amount of light ❤

Wonderful walk. Wonderful wittering. If you could bottle your enthusiasm, you'd make a fortune. Can't wait for Scafell. ❤❤

I always love the close up of the Mars bar, Survival.

Nice one Black Crag. Got to agree with you there, my favourite place in the world. Not a fan of summer walking, hot and sweaty, running out of water and the amount of people about. Been staying in the valley early December for the last 5 years on our boys winter walking weekend. Got caught in the snow bomb which hit last December. Absolute carnage. We couldn't get up high as it was blizzard conditions in the valley alone. We just did a big loop down the valley and back. We left our lodge at about 09-30 with about 3 inches of snow on the deck. By the time we got back at about 15-00 we measured 14 inches outside our lodge front door. At least the pub was open, so it was in there for us till closing time!!

Where is cutie pie Finn ❤ The clouds and water, rocks... all dramatic... stunning !

Absolutely tremendous! Great footage mate, I've got to agree, it's some of the best & 'secret' scenery in the Lakes. Excellent sheep shooting BUT my FAVOURITE bit was the demon cow at the start, I've never seen a more laid back, lounge lizard of a cow in my life 🦎🐮😂 - Totally loved it 👍😀

Beautiful walk,weathers gone mad but better down here. Thanks for taking me. S

Did this walk a couple of days ago.....absolutely stunning, the last bit by the river is gorgeous. I tagged on the old man of Coniston and Brim fell. Thanks Glenn must include the pub next time though

Wonderful walk.

Inspiring! I'm doing that walk for sure. The light being captured in your images is superb. You certainly have an eye for it.

Talking about winter, in Vermont, Jay Peak is opening up for skiers and snowboarders for summer solstice🇬🇧🇺🇸🍺

I used to dislike Mars, was more of a Snickers guy. A few weeks ago I thought, why not give it another try and I loved it! It’s my new go-to snack, when I have a tough day at work. And it makes me smile every time… Keep on waffling 😉

Great walk, agree it’s got all that’s special about the Lake District condensed into one outing. Beautifully captured as always.

Wow, wow, wow! Bravo for filming in these 50-50 conditions and for showing the summits half in and half out of the cloud.

Simply stunning from the first step to the first pint - outstanding route Glen !!!

Hi Glenn fabulous vlog as usual and agree! The best hike glad you put it out there just stunning area, (be that my knee’s went to jelly) when you showed the shot of your feet coming down the rocks! And the sheer drops!…….lol 🤣🤣to your remark/humour “that you should really reign it in” my friend and I had tears of laughter 😂 running down our face. Thank you for sharing you really are a great photographer and Ray of sunshine 🌞 so need right now in the uk xx 💙

I'm kneading bread watching the video for the 3rd time since yesterday lol. There's so much to see within the video esp the light changing, it's fantastic ❤👍🏼

Excellent episode and what a great route. Love those gulleys on Doe Crag 👍

Love the woodland part 👍

Loving adding some of the days photos into the vlog....more of that would be ace!

Wow what a beautiful walk. Thanks for putting this on my radar, I would have never of known about it otherwise.

fantastic again makes me feel home sick

Not getting much of a summer yet in the Lakes! Great video.

Good afternoon crag And thank you for another beautiful fantastic walk from my sofa witch I’ve taken some pictures looking forward to the next one crag cheers 😊

i fell in love with the lake district last year on holiday and was back last week love the place and these videos !

Best ealk in The Lake District, Glenn? I don't know, I couldn't say as I haven't walked it. Been in Dow/Doe Crags many times but haven't walked your route. There, you've gone and done, another addition to my ever-lengthening to-do list. 😁😆

Fantastic video, great commentary and an enthusiastic host, very inspiring, thanks for sharing 👌

Did Dow crag from Walna Scar / Coniston on a very similar day , probably a bit more clagged in, brought back memories i'd nearly forgotten i had done that one..

What alovely summit, them views of the scafells was brill, this as been the best so far, thanks for sharing, ❤❤

I haven't been up along that ridge for years. It was winter and there was snow, but the light was fantastic and I got some great shots looking back with the sun turning the Duddon Estuary gold. I might have enhanced that just ever so slightly in processing. I do wonder whether Dow Crag might have been an Ordnance Survey mis-hearing/misspelling of 'Doe Crag'. It would fit better with Buck Pike. Edit: Note to self, watch video to the end before commenting.

Your storytelling makes each hike so engaging. I feel like I’m exploring alongside you! Thanks for sharing. sub & Like 👍

Awesome on my bucket list

Brilliant 👍

Amazing walk ...And if your only hitting 1 wainwright that a great summit to hit 👍🏻

‘Don’t look up, don’t look at what’s above you…. LOOK AT IT!’ 😂 Gorgeous and unspoiled, will give this a try and keep it off Insta!

Nice one Crag lad, brilliant walk. Done the route up to Dow crag and beyond, but not the return via the Duddon valley ... one to do now!

Great place. Had a lovely camp at Turner Hall campsite and a walk around the Duddon Valley a few years ago. My partner hated it so we never went back. Think I'll be going on my own next time! :D

Oh WOW! What an amazing piece of video film. Absolute stunning scenery in every direction. What a day you had. I could sense your excitement right from the start and no wonder. What a very special walk this is. One of your best me thinks. Utterly superb. I loved it. Thanks for sharing this hour long epic of pure joy. WONDERFUL!

I keep thinking you can't take a prettier walk and then you do. WOW

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this walk. We did the mini version back in April, hiking up to Seathwaite Tarn via the service road then followed the same route as yourself back to the main road. Heat and tiredness with some of the group we followed the road back to the church hall. We could see people hike up to Doe Crag and beyond. Now I know what to expect next time. What views. And the river walk, stunning. ⛰️🥾👍🏼🍻

I love it when you show us your photographs, more please... lovely walk but I won't tell anyone !!

That's the way I was going to do the Old man via Dow/ Doe crag and make Old man the last fell of the day. Weather even down here in Essex today and the next few days a high of 14c, unbelievable for this time of year. -8 windchill in June is crazy. As always, I have had a most enjoyable couple of hours watching your videos tonight. Thank you to the saviour from a flat Essex. Always feel like I'm back there when I watch your videos.

Bloody nice one. My favourite go to walk it walking up past seathwaite tarn, up on to Grey Friar, Swirl How, Dow crag etc & back down Walna Scar Road. Always quite even in the height of summer. Love it. Great video thanks.

Brilliant I must do this one stunning. Thank-you again for what you do much appreciated xx

Your best yet. Inspired. Thanks so much for posting.

Absolutely stellar video and route Glenn, absolutely must do this one some day 😊

high winds and rain here in north norfolk glenn,getting pissed off now !

That's one for the bucket list

A beautiful walk! Loved seeing the baby lambs (is that right?). That is a walk that I could do. Sadly though it is a bit too far from where I live. Which is why I enjoy it as you take me along, and I am quite happy to hear the history and the “waffling”. Thank you! - Gaylin, Ontario, Canada

Great video in difficult conditions. Just come back from a weekend walking the Shropshire hills and the wind chill was pretty bad even up there, was glad I had extra layers to chuck on! Yet only a month ago I got cooked on Striding edge and Helvellyn, it was scorching. Absolute craziness with the weather lately, not surprised you needed hat and gloves despite it being June!

Loved this one but certainly looked like Winter at times.

I was out the same day. On Bowfell. On my hands and knees. In the snow !!!! With no gloves. In fact I didn’t see anyone wearing gloves, and the regret was tangible 😅

I love Duddon valley too. Though I've walked extensively there I haven't been on that last third of your walk today. You're right it's gorgeous & I'll have to try & explore there. Just as well the Finnmeister wasn't with you when you passed those cows at the start. Great video

Stunning filming and don't go missing crag

I love your videos Glenn. I'd like it if you did a T Shirt with an emblem - Black Crag 'Look at it!' What do you think?

I like the way you exposed for the light of the second pic?😊

Wow. Never been this way before. I need a route for this solo Wainwright. Looks like you've solved that for me.

Doe crag sounds much better, another great walk whatever the weather!

I was up there on Sun the 8th June just gone with two buddies, I sort of know what I'm doing but the other two are not experienced 😂 They are now, it was crazy. If you want to see what we were having to put up with I've uploaded a very short vid on "Camping Guru UK". I think you'll appreciate it. Love your video and I can't wait to watch more now I've found you. Cheers.

I was up there in April and it was nice, no gloves, hat or coat.

This is great thank you, where is Finnius Maximus?

Great video Glen. How’s the toe nowadays? Cheers

Great walk. Gotta love the UK weather. Out of interest, how did you create the route animation 1m30s into the video?

Best scenery in the lakes, maybe. For best actual walk I'd want something more epic. Maybe Helvellyn via the edges. Great video though, I don't know that area well and it does look beautiful.

Stunning videos Glen 👊 we love your waffle etc 👍 the end music is Awsome, has it got a name ??

I like it you say don't mention this place on any socials and keep to ourselves and you tell 51.6K followers - but that's ok? ha, ha!?

👋🏻

Just had the hottest may, looks like June will break the record as well 😂😂😂😂

Wondering what you have your camera attached to when you have it out. - Gaylin, Ontario Canada

hi Craig, I liked your backpack. Could you give the infos about it. Thanks.

The weather has been atrocious this year in spring and early summer in the UK. That's saying something! A very comprehensive coverage of the southern fells so far Glen.

Do you create this wall for the os map app?

Did you go to the pub after ?

thank you for adding the routes but unless you have a premium account they can't be used/saved etc by free accounts ..

Another amazing walk , omg I would be talking tons of photos, scenery was amazing , can't believe you have only 50k subscribers , come on peeps subscribe #marsbar 😂

Who really created it all? 🤔

Do you / have you thought of sharing these routes?

Never believe a scientist or a politician.

What’s the walk? Poor not naming them on the video , with correct spelling. What’s the big secret….. plenty hikes all over the highlands with the name in description or video when you pronounce the name - not to mention you pronounce them wrong, so why not include the correct spelling for viewers. Can someone please tell me the walk, only one I got was White mountain.

Epic Vlog……….and leaving us hanging for Scafell Pike 😵🧗‍♀️🏔️ 🥳
