@GCSScotland Thought we were going to get stuck but managed to get to the top going down was better as it had been treated. Saw all the snow above Pitlochry as we took the wrong turn and came back that way but it looks lovely.
@5teveArcher Blimey my gran lived in Cramlington after moving from the mining village of East Hartford in her later years. A small world. Love the la’al video 👍
@GCSScotland A fine blend! 💪
Me mam and dad are from near Wallsend - Byker and Walker. I grew up in Cramlington in Northumberland, but still struggle to completely follow the strong dialect of the shepherds in this video, which has similar melodies to Cumbrian.

@GCSScotland Yeah, understandable. Done it several times and remember Sharp Edge being really greasy when we once did it in the rain.
Hadn't heard the word "slape" before! I've obviously not spent enough time in the Lakes! 😳
@GCSScotland Those steep ridges down off Blencathra are hard on the legs!
Did the classic up Sharp Edge down Halls Fell circuit on a really roasting hot day and don't think I've ever tasted anything as refreshing as the shandies we downed in the White Horse afterwards. Fantastic!
@GCSScotland More arriving too! Although I was cursing the wet snow on wet grass combination as I involuntarily glissaded down the final slopes of Creag na Caillich. Just about managed to stay on my feet! 😂
Great effort from yourself with back to back days down in the Lakes! 💪
Four from my walk over Cat Bells (busy as usual), Maiden Moor, High Spy and Castle Crag (all quiet). Cloud built during the day and it snowed for a while. An enjoyable fell day with more memories.
@GCSScotland From Pitlochry, Loch Tummel and Loch Tay to the Trossachs, this is, for me, the part of Scotland which is most reminiscent of the Lake District.
