A hiking vlog, mainly in The Lake District but also in Northumberland and the Yorkshire Dales with a lot of fun, a touch of heavy metal, and the odd wild camp. I love being in the outdoors and meeting people and as well as the hiking, I also do Hotel, Gear and Castle Reviews, so check out my Playlists. I am based in Co Durham in the North of England, so if you see me, come over and say hello! I always respond back to anyone who takes the time to comment on a video - I appreciate your support :o)

First Ever Visit and Food Review at The Tan Hill Inn - Britain's Highest Inn
My first ever visit to Britain's highest Inn, Tan Hill, which stands at 1732 feet above sea level and sits on a Moor in the middle of nowhere. A place I have always wanted to visit and has a good reputation for food, so with their website boasting 3 thousand 5 star reviews, I decided to give the food a go, ordering a main and dessert off their main menu, as opposed to the smaller appetites menu. The inn was packed, despite it being mid week but the school holidays ensure a constant supply of weary travellers calling in for food and sustenance on a typically cold and gloomy Yorkshire day. Watch on for what I found.....

Glaramara & Allen Crags via Hind Gill - The Ultimate Guide!
Переглядів 3837 годин тому
Glaramara via Hind Gill and then on to Allen Crags, a walk I have been putting off for almost 18 months. Sometimes a walk gets into your head and this one had done that to me! I did not fancy Hind Gill at all, especially after a few 'experienced' walking friends had shared their experience of dropping down from Hind Gill and expressing how steep and awful the descent was. I decided that I would...
My First Every Visit to the New Wendy's at Whitby - Oh Dear!
Переглядів 3,8 тис.16 годин тому
A brand new Wendy's has opened in Whitby North Yorkshire, much to the annoyance of many local people. As I had never tired a Wendy's meal before or been inside one of their franchise, I thought I would try something from their breakfast menu, than, after a coastal walk, I would come back and try their lunch menu, to see what all the fuss was about - I was shocked at what I found out!

Low Fell, Loweswater Fell and Fellbarrow

In my opinion, this has to be The Best View in the Lake District from a Small Fell and most people do not even go there! I parked on the road side just outside the small hamlet of Thackthewaite and walked up the road to the start of the walk, signposted (Low Fell) right through the farmyard in the small hamlet. I had intended (like most people) to just do the two Wainwright Fells of Low Fell an...

I found them to be very springy, which helped cushion any impact on my knees whi...

Linton Falls & Grimwith Reservoir a UA-cam Meet Up
Hi Alan, OMGoodness, You are a brave soul You hiked there is no clear hiking markers are placed??? Did you have any doubt all the time that you may be hiking on the wrong path??? Full of arduous trails. I believe your gopro's resolution is 4K...the views are really paid off by. They are beyond extraordinary. I also enjoy your documentation as you proceed. Another exceptional Hike! Bravo! Sorry I just got back from my filming trip that left me cuts and bruises and my body is aching hahah See you next time
You always seem to be in a wind tunnel. LOL The food looks fantastic
Another great video Alan 👍 😊
We took a party of about 12 up there for a car owners club tour about 12/13 years ago. I think the landlord has changed since then. The food was OK but some of our party had finished before others had started their food. The drive from Richmond through Reeth, Gunnerside, and Keld and over the moor to the Inn was fantastic.
I do like the look of this isolated location Alan , those people that got stuck in at the Oasis tribute in the snow must have had a lovely time up here, we would have loved it 😃The food seemed great but I agree for £20 It could have done with a bit more beef, that hotpot looked delicious, just had one ourselves tonight coincidently and the dessert looked so good too. It's great that you can wildcamp as well but such a shame that people don't clean up afterwards. Good that you gave an honest review 👍~ Anna
Another lovely review Alan, if I'm not mistaken, the spoon could have been a little cleaner or is it just that kind of material!?!
If you want to support my channel, you can by: www.buymeacoffee.com/AlanMETALMAN Thank YOU :o)
Whitby can be chaotic it is not restricted to Wendy's foyer, shame your title is clickbait when the burger was good quality.
Another beautiful hike, Alan. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it, real good of you to stop by. Cheers Alan
I'm not a big Wendy's fan, but my wife is.
My first ever visit and to be fair the burger was great not keen on the rest, far too salty for my taste. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
I love the effect of the rain on the stream but definitely would be slippy with the rain. Good advice about avoiding going down that path. So many rocks along the side and definitely looks steep Alan! Definitely feeling lazy as i sit here while you climb! Im not great with a map and compass, im trying to get better but i do suck lol
The other side of the valley was bathed in sunshine but I did nit get any sun till I was almost at the top and man, was that a steep climb up. A climb I had not been looking forward too but real pleased I have eventually done it and it is behind me now. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nice one Alan I did woof cave just below glaramara a while back wish I did the peak first now putting it on the never ending list
I'll be honest it was a lot harder than I was expecting but real pleased I did it and it is behind me now. Two of the list but still got another 35 of them to go. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Nearly the big 70 I take my hat off to ya alan your a living legend marra well done for taking on the route of doom you smashed it and i totally agree the mighty gable is my favourite mountain too I could change my mind like as I'm working my way around them but up to now and some others I've seen it's the dogs bolls like what a day you had here buddy clear sky's windy but clear yess we will take that good job alan love it the glara pub next hahaha😂 got to add I think the same am I boring folk keep showing the views but when your up there you just can't help but keep showing it off and looking yourself as it's amazing and cameras just don't give it's real viewing. As I keep saying you have to get up there and do the walking not watching and talking 😂good stuff mate love it
Agree with that, it may look good on the TV but when you do it and see it, it is so much better. Yeah been putting this one off for awhile but there was one nice, rain free day that week, so I thought sod it, I am going for it no matter what. It was a steep up, a very steep up but so pleased I have got that one in the bag now. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@AlanMETALMAN alan I feel exactly the same about skiddaw I've been putting it off and off I've done higher ones but it's just got that vibe and I need to shake it off marra hahaha but yeah you bagged them and moved on to a new bunch class
Congrats on 300 new subscribers! Beautiful area again Alan - but wow - that looks like a trek!! The colors in your area are so spectacular it is always such a treat to watch your treks!
Thank you kindly for the good wishes and to be honest I am a little surprised, I am still putting out the same old same old and just as badly too but I will take it, no problem at all. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow, what a favourable day for hiking ! The sky is so clear . I can see why nobody was following you. Your path is really hard and steep but oh my totally worth it ,the views from up there are truly amazing! I would stop too and take in that wonderful view at 16:27 . What a fabulous drone footage 19:55 . And the refreshing view at 30:55 . This is absolutely a wonderful experience for you Alan though you made a wrong choice of your way. 😃Well done!
A walk, if I am honest I have been putting off for a while and it was steep going up, very steep but the views from the top made it all worthwhile, I loved them. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
We visited this outlet last weekend - wasn’t impressed. The restaurant was filthy, the staff was rude and the worst burger we’ve ever had. We’ve visited all the ones in Hull and never had a bad experience. The Whitby one has to seriously up their game if they want to stay in the town
I first ever visit to any Wendy's before, so unsure what to expect but have to say I was disappointed. next time I am back in Whitby, I will be back to my favourite fish n chips shop again. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Wow, that was a challenging hike. 9:50 Hahaha, with your take on a map & compass. Definitely hard to use. Digital maps now a days are super helpful. I almost exclusively use digital maps on my smartphone but sometimes pack a map in areas where the cell reception sucks. I always have a compass in my pack though.
I wish I could use a map and compass, even for just a back up but tried a few times and always give it, so dam frustrating for me, so always head back for my smartphone and OS Maps. A real steep climb up but man were them views magical, worth the hard work. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow Alan!! That climb up looked brutal! I am yet to do Glaramara and I must say I was knackered watching! Glorious views from the top mind but still alot of ups and downs I see. I can't believe people have commented on your pace.... most 20 year olds couldnt do what you do. Great vid as always 😊
Thanks very much for watching and your kind words, aye it was canny brutal going up and I would hate to think I had to come down that way but the views from the top made up for everything but man, I was pleased to get back to that farm again lol, cheers Alan
1:23 weezy chest? "Man colds" are just more severe than how colds hit other people! It's a fact.
Took just over two weeks but finally over it now - thank goodness lol :o)
Hey Allan! What a backdrop, gorgeous, perfect mix of blue sky and cloud. Way to rock it with your wheezy chest too! Ha, way to take it easy, you can soak that beauty in more. Glaramara seems like a real gem!
Thank you kindly, really appreciate you stopping by. That was a steep climb up, very steep and so pleased when I hit the top, which did make all the hard work so worthwhile, cheers Alan
Great video once again Alan . Glaramara is one of those fells you have to work for . Well worth it though if a nice day.
I certainly put a shift in on this one I can tell you, not many miles walked but like you say, had to work for each one of them. Pleased it is behind me now lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Challenging is the word! Some very steep and rocky terrain, we can see why you put this one off for so long! Mind you, those views from the top were spectacular!🤩🙌. Worth the steep climb up. We think those are our favourite drone shots so far, absolutely stunning! We have not climbed Glaramara, if we do go future we shall definitely be taking your advice and avoid coming down via the Hind Gill route, that would be very sketchy in the wet😮. We totally agree with you Alan, it isn't a race, days like this in the fells are to be enjoyed, with plenty of stops to take in the views, we never rush either! Well done for completing this challenge, another two in the bag 😊👍 Thanks for taking us along as always, Have a great week, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks very much for watching and I was pleased to put this one behind me, stunning views from the top mind but I was disappointed that I missed out on a nice easy ridge walk between the two summits, that was a lot harder than I was expecting, cheers Alan
Hi Al, absolutely brilliant mate, well done, and what a stunning day you had for it. I've done Allen crags but not yet Glaramara. Can't wait to do it. All the best mate, enjoy your week.
A few ways you can do it only thing I would say is do not go down Hind Gill, it was bad enough (for me) going up and I would dread it in any weather going down that route. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Paid parking at Seathwaite? 🧐 does look a slippery and overgrown ascent, would not like to descend that way. I want to be still doing these mountains forever! I have OS maps it’s invaluable, Jill still manages to get us lost on it! Glare area has some questionable routes! With all that slippy grass it looks hazardous. Wouldn’t be an Alan Metalman video without a bit of danger, too much salt on those Wendy’s chips last week! 😂 just kidding that was definitely dangerous, excited for the Popeyes review although I don’t know where our nearest one is. Amazing drone shots, not a bird in sight, im still getting attacked on all my coastal attempts. It’s hard filming with two poles. We love the poles, essential for prolonged descents. I’m hoping we get away with sneaking them in our hand luggage to the Dolomites, if we don’t we will buy a set over there. There must be a route saved on OS by someone that has done this walk? Now thats a nice path. Stunning tarn. Ah the lovely ice cream box (rescue shed) I remember seeing that coming down from Great Gable. Lovely looking cattle. Looks like a great day out 👍
You can get free parking on the roadside to the farm but tractors pulling trailers run up and down to the farm all day and over the years some have come back to their car with half the door off, so I would rather pay £5 for safety. It was a steep up, very steep and very slippery, so real pleased when I (eventually) hit the top and still be lucky (for far) with birds and my drone, still nervous sending it up and still relived when it is safely tucked back up in it's case again lol. Real pleased those cattle were as tired as me at the end. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMANgosh that’s a fair point about the tractors I suppose! The beast needs all its doors! Yes I’m very nervous with the drone. I want one drone shot for a video coming out next week and I’m very apprehensive about getting it. Seagulls seem to appear out of nowhere around these parts!
Hi Alan, I always use a gpx file for my routes. You do need some kind of backup in case you loose your phone... Could you not film with a smartphone when you forgot your gopro. It sure looked like an epic walk! Well done! Have a great day! Kaat
I did think of filming with my phone as I use a Google Pixel phone, which is very good but as it was a warm day, I did not both with a power bank, so worried about getting a flat battery, filming and using OS maps at the same time. Lesson learned there I think. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
OMG that looked so difficult!
It was and I was expecting it to be steep going up but that was another level :o)
Hi Alan, glad you found the correct gate in the end! 😂 The climb was so steep and slippery. You were very brave to attempt it, particularly on your own. Well done on reaching the summit. The views from the top were spectacular! It was scary that the path disappeared. You must have been so relieved to pick up the path again. Oh dear, you won't make the mistake of not re-checking the map again for a while! 😅 Thanks for a very entertaining video. Take care and get back to full fitness soon ~ Julie & Lucy ❤❤
A walk I had been putting off and making so many excuses to put off, so so pleased it is finally done and I can put it behind me now. One thing for sure, I will never climb up Hind Gill again, man was that steep. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Great video Alan this is one tough route I too thought a nice ridge walk to Allen Crags 😮 great views of the Langdales though even coming the easy way down Grains gill is no picnic with all that tough walking in your legs Well done my friend
I was real surprised with the 2 miles over the Allen Crags, I was expecting a nice stroll after all the hard work had been done - wrong lol! Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
It's a tough walk, good stuff Alan.
Haha, yep and a lot harder than I was expecting, so pleased Hind Gill is behind me now. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Awsome nature you got there. You always find some really beautiful places for your hikes😊😊😊
Yes, thank you, totally agree with you and something I always enjoy, although this one was a lot harder than my normal videos. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Great views but looked like a really hard hike this time. Be carefully Alan when you are on your own. Can understand Mrs Metalman there. Myself shouldn't walk there. I injured both ankles really bad in a fall some years ago. So I don't risk doing that again or even worser. But you did it! You are amazing... Enjoy the new week. Wish you and Mrs Metalman a fabulous week. 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Mrs Metalman hates me going out by myself, especially on climbs like this one, a climb I had been putting off for at least 18 months. So pleased this is behind me now and I can looked to something smaller and less of a risk. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
That’s a crazy climb!
It sure was, I was expecting steep but not that steep. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
Where's the path!! I'd be screaming that "The Sound of Music" style with "The hills are alive"...although I'm sure that no one would like my choice of words! LOL LOL Indeed, you do only live once, but I'd like to be able to enjoy several more experiences in the future! LOL You have survived to yet conquer another day! I am always amazed by those views!! Hope you now have a more relaxed week ahead.
Haha, yes, I kept say when is this path too, it was nightmare getting up but so pleased I did and so pleased I can finally put this one behind me. Thanks very much for watching, real good, cheers Alan
8:40 That look's awesome .... 16:20 Amazing rock formation ..... 17:30 WOW ....... 19:00 I love it ..... 19:35 That look's incredible .... 21:10 A beautiful planet .... 26:45 You look like you're in ecstasy.
It's a walk I have been putting off and putting off, so when I finally realised it was done I would never have to climb it again, so ecstatic was an understatement lol. A real tiring day but still an awesome day. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
I felt your pain, Alan, you suffered throughout yet you had the sunshine and the views. That route up to Glaramara didn't look good at all. I've no experience of it but I don't think I want any either!! OS maps are great but I don't think they are always right. The stretcher box brought back great memories! I'm still smarting from the fact you got to the top of Great Gable before us!! Andrea still talks about that day. You still sounded a bit out of puff but to do those two fell s and the detours means you're definitely improving. Well done, regards, Ashley
I was blowing hard on this one and the amount of footage spoilt by me coughing but that goodness I am feeling so much better this week but typically the weather has turned and it is wet all this week and most of nest too :o(. I have very fond memories of that Kirk Fell/Great Gable day out - tired memories but still, very fond memories. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I always feel when watching your videos I have to breathe for you to help you.
Haha, I could have done with an extra breath or two on this hike and man that route up Hind Gill was steep, real steep, I just hope the people who I met and said they were going down that way go down okay. Thanks very much for watching, real good of you, cheers Alan
@AlanMETALMAN I really enjoy watching you and you give good information on different place's. Thank-you xx
Outstanding ❤. I'll follow you from my comfy chair 😂 300 new subscribers? Totally understandable 😃 Well done! 👍
Thanks very much, still puzzled about that as I am still just knocking out the same old rubbish... Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
As always this is a well made video of you with awesome footage. It's very beautiful there. Wonderful nature and landscape. Have a great day 😀
Glad you enjoyed it and really appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment, real good of you, cheers Alan
Enjoyed that made...lots of great view...lots of gigles
I always like having a bit of a laugh on a hike, although there were few laughs going up Hind Gill, man was that steep! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awesome video, Alan. Keep sharing and have an awesome day! 💯🙏🏻.
Thanks! You too! Real nice of you to watch and leave such a positive comment - thank you! Cheers Alan
Hi Alan haha that sneeze was great, louder than Alf haha but a shame you're still struggling after the pneumonia. Another gorgeous place and not bad price for parking all day, love the coffee machine they have there. A nice quiet hike which we definitely prefer but it did seem hard and a bit precarious with it being steep and slippery and rocky, scary that there was no real path .. The ferns were really pretty though, I do love ferns and the views all around were so pretty. I loved the sun breaking through. You did have such amazing views though. You are so good when you meet people and seen to really enjoy it, they all seem to know you 😃 It must have been so good when you got on top a proper path again, that was great to see 👍~ Anna
Yes, my chest just is not as strong as it was and is so frustrating but you got to just keep plugging on. This walk turned out to be even harder than I was expecting, so real pleased I can finally put it behind me and thank goodness there was a path around those ferns lol. I always enjoy bumping into people on the trail and 99.9% of the time the people are always so friendly, always a bonus as well when someone says "hey I love watching your videos", makes all the hard work and early mornings so worthwhile. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow you weren't kidding about how beautiful the views would be 🤩 What a gorgeous hike, and great pay off. Cool to hear how you got back into hiking! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, real nice of you and very much appreciated. What a great day this turned out to be and for such a small Fell, the views were outstanding, cheers Alan
That was quite a day out all in all. About 30 odd years ago Linda and I went down Hind Gill or at least somewhere near it as it started to get dark. Long time ago so can't quite remember details. Those green dashed lines on the map mark Right of Way - doesn't mean there is really a path. It may be there but you can't rely on it. The black dashed lines are actually paths. Great video though. Cheers, Roger
It does not help with me being colour blind as well lol, to be honest it was an experience but an experience I will not be repeating. Still, it was a very enjoyable day with stunning views. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
lol your either nocturnal or have insomnia or maybe both 😂 but definitely worth it for the views 👌silly me did decend hind gill with a big pack on after camping at high house tarn 😮 anyway well done 💪
The thought of that long walk back to the farm with a camping pack on - yikes! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I add no views off Glaramara. Need to return 😉
That's a shame as on a clear day there were superb, take care buddy! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Another great hike my friend
Glad you enjoyed it John, appreciate you stopping by buddy, cheers Alan
🤣 Alan YOU Brother make my day 🥰 Drama Queen 😜 This stuff isn’t easy to bounce back from 🥴 Hey I been outta town for a few weeks and returned home to a blessing from you Sir 🤗
Awwwwww Noooooo about the GoPro 😢
Alan Metal Man ….. Man of a Bit Dangerous Adventures 🦸🏻♂️💪🏻 and Gob’s of Beautiful Countryside to enjoy seeing 😍💯🤗
Yep my chest is still not as it was this time last year but you just got to keep on plugging away. Fingers crossed you are feeling better now Donna and good to hear you came back to something nice. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Thank goodness it was okay in the end :o)
Thank countryside always blows my mind and I always give thanks that I am still able to climb and enjoy it too :o)
Very challenging and difficult hike Alan. I wouldn't dare. The views are breathtaking especially aerial. The day is beautiful for shooting, those clouds are so nice. I like the colors in your videos, always asking myself what camera you use 👍❤️
I use the GoPro Hero 10 and always shoot at 2.7K, which I am happy enough with. To be honest, my PC is quite old, so if I did film 4K footage the computer would not be able to cope with it. Yes, that was a challenging route and one I had been putting off for a while now but I knew that at some point it would have to be done - so pleased I have finally done it. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Great advice Alan....myself and mel descended that route in January what could be said foolishly with ice on the bottom ,we lost the light by the time we hit the wall ...very sketchy os route indeed ..pleased you finally cracked it ⛰️👍. ..ATB Andrew
Thanks very much for watching and for me, it was bad enough going up, so I would hate to have gone down that way and I met two really nice couples who were taking Hind Gill down, just because it was shown as a route on OS maps and had no idea at how steep it was. Good to hear you both got down safely too, cheers Alan
Hello Alan Thank you so much for sharing this video. We don't have Wendy's Burger restaurants in DK, though we have one Wendy's pit in Herning in Jylland It's about 8 hours with trains from this town I'm living in. But again, one of the reasons for that we don't have a Wendy restaurants here are that they have been talking about that they are using to much salt in their food and we have rules here, in this country (EU rules must be observed) about how much salt that would be allowed to be in the meat and potatoes chips (generally all kind of food)! So there's one of the biggest reasons for not having a Wendy's, the other one is that we already have a lots of fast foods restaurants.. McDonald's /Burger King / Sunset B / Pizza restaurants in 1000/Rib steaks house / Chinese foods /Mexicans foods / and many more..! Again thanks Alan for putting your own health on a game to check it out and do a rapport from there after 👍🏼☑️ You are so Cool my friend It could be good if you could do more videos like this one in the future ❤ Have a good new week
I do intend to do more food reviews in the future and this was my first ever visit to a Wendy's before, I had heard the name but never been in or even tried one of their burgers before, so it was an interesting experience for me. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN it was a pleasure 🌸
