Might be worth a watch.

Cheers for the heads up

Good spot. Set to record.

Excellent, cheers!.

Had a heads up off the M-I-L.
Should be good.
Went up it 3 times in 4 years on the 3 Peaks but not since 1999.
Shame it’s completely not worth it on the bike 😉
Would like to do it again though…maybe this year.

Looks good – Nice 1!

Stunning Beautiful place. I love the lakes.

Beautiful. Watch it again on iPlayrer.

What did we think of it? That shepherdess was straight out of Disney Productions, what a bizarre character. The image of her prancing around the fells dressed like Rob Roy just contributes to the feeling that the Lakes is a managed landscape. We didn’t see her at the Wasdale Head show – I expect she’d have been laughed out of the valley.

The rest of the film was rather bitty and mixed up, I thought. Some nice shots though.

I was a bit disappointed. I’d hoped for something with a bit more substance.

BTTW the Shepherdess isn’t from that area – she lives near Sedbergh – so not sure why she appeared at all.

It was the sort of programme that only the BBC comes up with…… ( and all the better for it ! )
Quirky, disjointed , funny mixture…… would be commercial suicide for the likes of ITV, Sky . Maybe Channel 4 would have done it, but it would have been spoilt by Advert breaks and the obligatory ” Coming Up ” phrase liberally scattered about.

Stunning scenery , beautifully filmed.

Got a real hankering to return to Wasdale but take some inflatable kayaks next time and paddle Wastwater. Stayed in our Campervan at Stanton Bridge last time and cycled to Wasdale Head and 1/2 way up to Styhead Pass

Thanks for the PSA. Will watch on iPlayer with the gf – all good to encourage her to spend a few days there this year.

I liked it, some stunning shots. I love seeing people enjoying themselves in low key, slightly crap old fashioned ways. That’s why I love fell running. Alan Hinkes, one of the top climbers in the World bumbling about on Broad Stand, marvellous. Any program with Joss Naylor has earned the license fee 🙂
