The weather is good enough and hiking season is back! After last year’s aborted ascent due to dangerous winds I was glad to get the right weather to summit Helvellyn. Please like and subscribe to me on YouTube.

Vlog:Grisedale Pike – Abandoned!
At the weekend I attempted to hike Grisedale Pike. Sadly winds became so dangerous that they lifted my companion off the ground. Clearly it was time to abandon the climb! We will get here in the summer.
Even though we didn’t reach the summit it was still a great day o climbing and hiking.
Vlog:Hiking The Old Man of Coniston
Today was the first hike I have been able to do for ages so I went up to Cumbria and climbed The Old Man of Coniston. Considering the time of year it was glorious weather and a great climb.
Bolton Abbey Trail
Yesterday was not so much a hike as a gentle stroll over to Bolton Abbey and it’s infamously dangerous water course, the Strid. For some reason there was a long conversation about the eighties. The outdoors not only takes you to new places, it also takes you mentally to new places.
International Dog Day – Barkley’s First Hike!
As today is International Dog Day I decided to share Barkley’s first hike. Barkley is my four month old border collie puppy who will be travelling with me over fells, mountains and wherever else he can go. Yesterday it was a gentle start over on Thieveley Pike in Lancashire and he had a whale of a time. The vlog is below. Please like and subscribe.
Climbing Skiddaw Vlog
Skiddaw in Cumbria is known as a gentle giant. Unlike Helvellyn there are no tough edges or treacherous passes, but it is a huge Lakeland fell nonetheless. I aimed to camp there yesterday. Check out the vlog to see how I got on.
Never Hike on Friday 13th!
Yesterday I set out to traverse Striding Edge in order to summit Helvellyn in the Lake District, Cumbria. What transpired is a lesson: never hike on Friday 13th!
Bronte Waterfall Loop
The eponymous Bronte Way is where the famous sisters used to live and hang out. If you have read Wuthering Heights then hiking this moor allows you to see easily where Emily found inspiration for the opening scenes with Lockwood trapped in the snowstorm and lost on the Moors.
Yesterday I intended to go all of the way to the large waterfall but time got the better of things, however it is was a good hike with great scenery and plenty to appreciate.

Yorkshire Three Peaks in a Storm
Roughly a year after it became my first YouTube video I once again hiked the Yorkshire Three Peaks. This time I did not get sunburnt. Instead it was a storm that, at the top of the mountings, often resembled a hurricane.
Climbing Scafell Pike
Recently I ascended the highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike the Lake District. This was a fantastic day and a great climb. Below is my vlog from the day.
Big thanks to Editor’s Keys who gave away a pack of five LUTS, one of which (Forest) is used in his video. Please support them.
