Escaping the Lake District Crowds

In the very first video on the channel, we head to the far eastern fringes of the Lake District to find some peace and quiet away from the crowds. We tackle a few lesser-known hills, including Packhorse Hill, Crag Hill (Stakeley Pike), and Crookdale Crag. It’s a day of off-piste walking, beautiful vistas, and a bit of a struggle with the fells, but ultimately a perfect start to our new journey. If you'd like to support the channel and help us get going, you can buy us a coffee and a chew for a future episode with the Link below. You can also find my book, "Still Walking," a memoir about my journey into fell walking, available on Amazon with the link below. BUY ME A COFFEE https://buymeacoffee.com/walkawaywith...
