This Snake Gave Us a Real Fright on Loughrigg Fell 🐍 | Lake District Hike

In today’s video, my sister Ruby and I head out for a beautiful sunset hike up Loughrigg Fell in the stunning Lake District National Park 🌄⛰️ What started as a peaceful evening walk soon took an unexpected turn when we came face to face with a snake on the trail... 👀🐍 Thankfully, no dramatic mountain rescue was required, but it definitely gave us a story to tell! Along the way, we enjoyed warm sunshine, incredible panoramic views across the Lake District and one of those perfect evenings that remind you why the fells are so special. As the sun began to set, the landscape was bathed in golden light, creating unforgettable views from the summit and making this one of our favourite short adventures of the year. Sometimes the best adventures happen close to home. ⛰️ Highlights: Hiking Loughrigg Fell at sunset Incredible panoramic Lake District views A surprise snake encounter on the trail 🐍 Golden hour across the fells Quality mountain time with my sister Ruby Beautiful weather and perfect hiking conditions ⚠️ Conditions: Warm and sunny throughout Excellent visibility Dry trails underfoot Light breeze on higher ground Ideal evening hiking conditions 🎒 Gear Used: Hiking boots Lightweight layers Plenty of water Snacks Camera gear GPS / navigation tools 🚗 Useful Info: Popular Lake District fell with several route options Fantastic choice for a sunset hike Suitable for most fitness levels Panoramic views despite its modest height Leave no trace & respect the landscape 🍿 Coming Up Next: A misty morning mountain adventure More Lake District sunset hikes Hidden gems, wild swimming & wild camping adventures Exploring new fells with Penny 🐶 👇 You may also like: Blencathra at Sunset – Cooking Tea on the Summit & Descending in Darkness    • SUNSET, Summit Cooking & a DARK Descent | ...   Hiking Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) at Sunset    • I Hiked SNOWDON at SUNSET in the SNOW… The...   A Haunted Bothy Stay in Scotland    • I Hiked 20 MILES to Stay in Scotland’s Mos...   📱 Follow my journey: Instagram / Facebook / TikTok: @sophie.on.a.summit 🌲 Linktree: Sophie on a Summit (https://linktr.ee/sophie.on.a.summit) Who am I?
