    We hiked Catbells in July. One of my mates wanted to do Blencathra but non of the guys were up for it. Catbells was challenging enough for me. ha ha. The views across Derwentwater on the way down were spectacular. Nice video

    Thank you, I really enjoyed that. I'm a road cyclist and I frequently go up there as far as the road will allow and wonder about some of those tracks.

    Truly wonderful video. Well done. The quality and choice of the images is superb. So much better than the stuff on TV where the beauty of the scenery is interuptec with long chats with local tradesmen about slatemines and kendalmint cake etc. This is what I want to see..the gorgeous countryside in all its glory from every angle. What a great job you have done. Keep up this fine work. Cant wait to get back to Keswick..its like heaven up there.

    I think this was actually filmed in September a few years back. There's enough parking for probably 15 cars so you need to get here early. Probably about 9amto stand a chance, if not earlier! It can depend on the time of year. In winter it will be free most of the time.
