Hiking BOWFELL & ESK PIKE | Lake District National Park

Blessed with good weather, I headed out on this beautiful 10 mile circular from Old Dungeon Ghyll along the Cumbria Way to Rossett Pike, Angle Tarn, Esk Pike and then finally Bowfell at 902m.

    Its years since I did that exact same route Christine and definately one of my favourites to date! Stunning views for miles and miles and the ascent of Esk Pike was a belting little scramble. Angle Tarn the most perfect spot for your now legendary cake haha. Didnt want to leave Bowfell summit as the views were to die for. Well done Christine and thanks for taking us along with you. Brought back super memories and maybe Ill get to do it again at some point. All The Best 🙂

    Agreed, one of my new favourites to date too, just simply incredible views throughout the route! And Bowfell is incredible for fell spotting ⛰️ I actually found the climb up to Rossett Pike the way I ascended tougher than Esk Pike but definitely a nice little scramble up to Esk! Ahah can’t be having a day out in the mountains without a beautiful cake stop! Thanks Tony, lovely to hear it brought back memories & fingers crossed you can do it again some time soon 😊

    Hi Christine, Not mentioned but a lovely looking pool at about 2:30, a tad on the cold side I suspect even for you. Cake before 3 minutes in, suppose its important to have something to soak up the coffee ☕️ Boy did that next bit look steep, good job you didn't have a camera to keep going back for. Looked quite a way to go 🚶‍♀️ in half an hour of light. Obviously you made it back OK. Cheers Graham

    Hi Graham 😊 very much agree, beautiful looking pool too! The climb up to Rossett Pike was a cracker, probably tougher going than the following two summits! Definitely needed the coffee and cake for that section! Yes made it back just in time for complete darkness & dinner at the New Dungeon Ghyll 😋 thanks for the continued support, appreciate it 🫶🏻

    Thanks Ranbir, lovely to hear you enjoyed this video too 😊 hope you enjoy the Lakes this week & weather is on your side! I’m yet to do Cadair Berwyn including Pistyll Rhaeadr but have been recommended it by friends, on the bucket list! Yes had a little nightmare with the mic for a few days due to strong winds, need to try some different options going forward, hopefully will start to get better in future videos I film 🤞🏻 all learning as I go! It was actually quite busy by midday at the Tarn but always quieter if start early 😄

    Thanks Nicola, it's one of my fave valleys in the lakes, so beautiful! Sure, in this video I am wearing the Fjallraven Keb Curved Trousers, super flexible fit & my alternative for leggings on days I need a bit more protection from the wind! I try and link all the gear I wear in videos in the description for future reference 😊
