Good to see that The White Lion is stil there. Some fond memory's of years ago !! (Hellvellyn via Striding Edge)

I'm so happy that you got gingerbread!

Prior to the Hut at 18 minutes I detoured to the top of Helvellyn and back down again, leaving my rucksack with friends I had made that morning.

This is stunning! Great hike, looking forward to the next part.

Just a lovely video. The sheep are very different to the sheep we have in New Zealand.

Superb camera work in some of the most beautiful places anyone can ever visit.

Excellebt series, thank you. I wondered which way you were climbing up from Grasmere as it was my favourite day of the walk I did in 2002,,,, I climbed up and webt over the top at Hawes Gap alongside a waterfall for the last section and then to look down on Grizedale Tarn. Brilliant. That hut was locked then as well.

Hi thank you! Out of Grasmere I took the route that goes left by the bridge, instead of crossing over it. In hindsight, it would’ve been a much easier path than the one I took but I was just following my GPS map on Hiiker, so the person who made that would’ve gone up the way I followed! 😂 it was tricky & grassy but at least I had it to myself, save for all those sheep 😁

Prior to your arrival at Grisdale Tarn I noticed that they had replace the gass/mud path with stone steps, that should help control the errosion that was bound to happen over the course of 10 to 20 yrs. Tony in Essex

Did the C2C late May last year! Great hike, brings back nice memories

Oh yeah, direct sunlight in the UK can be 50C, so count yourself self lucky it was only 30 😉 That's why it's more representative to express the temperature in terms of air temperature, which is less (...but idk why, p'raps density 🤔). I didn't know what the Scouser meant by comparing himself to a Stolly Waggon, so I disappeared down a lovely Google rabbit hole reading about a 1960s basic 6 wheel drive amphibious go anywhere military vehicle, the Alvis Stalwart. What a good idea, the Grisedale Beck sign and camera hole was, both for monitoring and engagement 🙌 Lovely campsite at Ullswater. I remember baaing echoing over improbable distances - lovely weird init!? Must have a hidden amp set-up somewhere!

Honestly I think the UK heat is different from anywhere else! No idea why, maybe density, like you said? Hiking in it uphill with a heavy bag is something else 🥵 Haha amazing 😂 I’m very familiar with getting lost in wiki/google rabbit holes 😂 I loved the walk down into the beck, it was stunning, and yeah definitely a good idea for those signs for the restoration project.

Hi, the song is called A Thether by Kylie Dailey, I get all of my music for my videos from Epidemic Sound but I do believe this song is also on Apple Music & Spotify:)

Looks like you took the northern route to Grizedale Tarn - most people take the southern path - it is supposed to be easier?? As we reached the steep climb section to the tarn, the heavens opened and rained until we reached the valley floor on the other side - by the time we reached The Patterdale Hotel, the weather was glorious and we sat in the beer garden, drying out our wet weather gear while we waited for our bus to take us to our overnight accommodation.

@Orenjen

Oh I'm not sure, what path is the southern route? Was it the path that would've taken me over the bridge that I spotted up at the top? I just followed the route marked on my map, but you're right it was difficult! And that sounds like heaven. Patterdale is gorgeous. I'd love to hike the C2C again but probably B&B it! I love camping, but I think if I hike without the incredibly heavy bag I would've probably enjoyed it more due to less fatigue which I think brought on some of my anxiety.

@@Orenjen push past the sheep and over the bridge. It's a long but fairly gradual path with a short but steep kick at the end just before you go over the rise to Grizedale Tarn. I tend to walk with HF Holidays - hotel to hotel, luggage transfers and pick ups between places when you don't walk into or out of the hotel. Not cheap, but at 60 the idea of carrying a 17kg bag and sleeping on the ground does not appeal. lol

@@Orenjen try looking up Sharpavan - I think they charge about £10/move. If you look, you can get some days when you don't need to transfer as there are good bus services i.e get to Keld and then catch the bus to Richmond where you have a hotel; next morning bus back to Keld and walk to Reeth, catch bus from Reeth back to Richmond; next morning bus to Reeth and walk to Richmond etc. You can have a few days where you don't need to transfer luggage or carry a huge pack.
