Hi everyone, just thought I'd share my latest walk which I did in the Lake District (on Valentine's Day, which went down well๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚) starting from Crummock Water and heading up onto Whiteside, Hopegill Head, Grasmoor, Crag Hill (Eel Crag), Wandope and finishing with Whiteless Pike. Cracking walk, even if the windchill did take the temperature down to around Minus 15 Celsius!! Bit of sun, bit of snow, bit of wind, bit of a mixed bag really. Not quite as good as when I did Striding Edge a few weeks ago in perfect winter conditions but pretty close at times.

Great work, Mark! And very relaxing to watch :) My favourite shot was the 360 at 2:25. Are you filming with a GoPro4? Damn, those things are high res!

looks like a beautiful spot! Cool how you have 2 seasons in 1 hike, alot of snow at the top. Thanks for the share, looks like a fun spot

Thanks Guys, glad you enjoyed it. It's mostly on a GoPro Hero4 silver but some of the stills are taken on my DSLR so that I'm able to zoom in when I need to.
It's a beautiful place and I'm so glad it's only an hour and a half from me by car. As for the 2 seasons in one hike, it's great if you're prepared but I've seen so many people get caught out by it, thinking they can head up in shorts and trainers and then getting into trouble when the weather descends on them! I'm hoping to get over to The Lakes again in a few days so I'll probably stick another little video on. Thanks for watching and for the nice comments.

Great video mark. Very chilled feel to it! Agree with dave in that the 360 view is very dramatic. There's such a different world from base at say 0:30, to the pure white summits at 4:30. Beautiful hike.

Thanks Kevvers, I just wish I could capture what I actually see as the camera really doesn't do it justice, but I'm still pleased with how it's turned out. I should be putting another video up tomorrow of the Fairfield Horseshoe, which I did yesterday. Some pretty horrendous conditions at the top on that one!!
