[@Quid2005]

Thank you, Kind Sirs, for addressing mental health and the restorative properties of “just getting out there”. I have been in a 14 year battle following my husband’s suicide. The first six months were spent as a motionless lump on the sofa and, if not for the insistence of one of my pups, I’d likely still be there. I spent the next 10 years successfully functioning in life but feeding my emotions until I gained seven additional stones (about 100 pounds). I often extol the vast array of skills taught to me by my father and the confidence brought out in me by my husband, but I somehow chose to dishonor those gifts by abandoning them in my grief. Three years ago, I said ‘enough!’ and, like Si suggested, I started out with a simple walk, then day hikes, then long weekends, and along the trails, I came across my better self, asking me where the heck I’d been. I’m not healed, (and I certainly don’t expect to ever be) but I am repaired. Six stones lost with one more to go, training and competing in agility with my pups, and recently retired after 39 years in the aerospace industry, I am enjoying life with a renewed outlook. I have one more major step to take on this new path I’m on- a 100 mile solo hike so that I can once again honor, through use, the gifts given to me by two extraordinary men. The first step of that hike- whether I finish or not- will be the culmination of an effort unknowingly supported by a man and his dog on the other side of the world, among others, and will be a nod to the men who gave me the abilities to save myself… long before they ever knew that I’d need them. Apologies for the long and personal post but the video’s topic spoke to me this morning and I felt that it deserved more than just a “hell, yeah.” And watch out about those comments of getting older and slower in your 50s… those of us in our 60s will have to come over and show you how it’s done!

[@SnoopyLulu]

Sorry for your loss," repaired but not healed", that's incredible. All the best on your hike 👍

[@Biggo_and_Archie_in_the_Fells]

Wow that's an amazing post, I'm so sorry at what you've been through but so happy and inspired the way you've come through it with time to where you are now. The healing power of the outdoors is amazing so well done you and thankyou for sharing such a personal story. Much love

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m completely proud of you! Life can be hard but for me I’m just maintaining my happiness using positivity. You are a complete inspiration to all to overcome your pain and drag yourself to a better place. I can’t even imagine how hard that would be! People like yourself truly give hope to others that have suffered similar pain. You get all my respect. Even if you don’t make the 100 mile hike you’ve already hiked hundreds of thousands of miles to get here! All love Al

[@Biggo_and_Archie_in_the_Fells]

Was a cracking evening mate, really enjoyed taking you on a route you hadn't been on before and meeting you and the awesome blue. Just positive energy all the way and love the way all the footage is edited. Cheers Al 🤙

[@burrianaUK]

It made an interesting change to have a third person/dog there. At the beginning it was a bit, ooh, aye up, how’s this going to work out… but the more you chatted the more everything became relaxed… could be something to do with 9% beer mind… but the dynamic worked well. Top video guys 🍻

[@gordon7470]

One of your best vlogs ever Alan. Seemed like you and Si had known each other for years. Be good to see him in another vlog sometime? Thanks for all you do for us disabled and unable to partake! You make my days👌👌👌

Yes we got on well considering we had just met👍. A truly awesome fella.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

I sold something on ebay to a bloke named Erik 10 years ago. We started talking online and then on the phone, we just clicked! I went to meet him and took my bestie, that I’ve known all of my life. The minute we all met, we felt as if we knew each other forever. We all became best friends and just love the chap. We’ve been the 3 stooges since... Sometimes friendship is just that easy!

[@hikingandbackpackingadventures]

Great video. The poor dog trying so hard to get attention. He was the main part of the video. Hope you will be hiking and camping a very long time. I'm 70 yrs. old and still hike into nature to renew my life. Awesome feeling but I feel a little down when I return to town. People are animals and my wife and I go out at least once a week for up to a 5 mile (8 Km) hike to feel nature around us.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I am the same. You get such a happy feeling being out in nature and it can last a couple of days. Towns and cities soon pull it out of you though. Keep going old boy😉👍

[@MattGriffiths81]

Nice adventure. Thanks for taking us along.

[@danbradley1534]

Great trip again Al. I spent 6 weeks every year exploring the Lake District now at almost 80 I have hang my boots up. walked the C2C 4 times and many other long walks. Every time I see you and Blue in the Fells it bring tears to my eyes as I see what I am missing. Your chat with Si hit some chords close to my heart. In my day it was Youth Hostels and a drive out for a fell walk, park up and walk 10 or 15 miles back to Hostel for a hearty meal. Wild camping was not the norm but had a few nights in some sheltered places. keep up the videos I never miss one, thank Al, regards old man

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Brilliant my friend! You’re an inspiration as not many will have done the coast to coast more than once. I’ll keep taking you on these adventures 👍👍👍

I’ve always loved the outside nothing like it I love seeing the beauty of the country side, seaside, mountains, our beautiful country has so much stunning scenery. Getting out helps depression , anxiety, stress just about everything you cannot beat the outside. Thank you for this amazing video loved it big hugs for the gorgeous blue. ❤️❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

The outdoors and exercise should be the first thing prescribed by a doctor in most cases😉

[@petelashley]

Absolutely top video and a great conversation lads. I think this last two and a half years is a lesson that corrupt governments around the world want us (particularly the younger generation) stuck inside glued to their phones and plugged into their matrix as opposed to discovering individual joy through being out in nature all day or up on the fells. Never has the phrase 'Stay Safe' been so twisted. Keep up the fantastic work!!

Just wanted to let you know that you did inspire me to get out and do something. I live in the most beautiful area of BC Canada and for the 20 years I have lived here I have looked from afar always having an excuse not to get out whether it be work or something mundane. I have always been a motorcyclist so I bought a capable bike and pushed off into the mountains just me and my tent (and an SOS beacon...) I have seen some wonderful things and the peace is difficult to describe. We appreciate things differently when we are older and I am glad I found your channel. All the best keep em coming

In my opinion, that discussion with Si has to make it a top ‘must watch’, not just your channel but right across the forums. What a top bloke. No need to be concerned about size - I’m 6’6” & 118kg, it’s not an issue. My dog is 40kg and I’m confident if push came to shove I’ld be able to carry him back down. I’ve really cut down on who I watch; you and Blue, Andrew Parks, Haze, Daley, Paul M, Claire from wildbeare. All top people, who are real.

As a child, we all played with others while playing in dirt after school. Which is why I believe I've always had a strong immune system. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

It definitely helps. Kids are too clean now a days. Cheers Bill.

Another great watch! Can’t get enough! I’m not looking forward to the day I have to go more than a week without a new video 😁 they are definitely an inspiration to get outside and should be the only tv people shouldn’t watch more of to get ideas and inspiration. I’m quite surprised I haven’t seen any of the KZbinrs I follow use dried milk/cream (like Nido) instead of lugging heavy milk. I put granola in a zip lock with a few nuts and sultanas then a few tablespoons of powder and then when I want to have it I just put it in my bowl and add freshly filtered cold water and it tastes great without the weight. I know milk powder isn’t as good as cream powder though. Maybe give it a try!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I have some cereal packs similar with dried milk. It’s a great idea and waaaaaay lighter. I might use some next time😉👍

👍 Great video mental health is so important specifically over the last few years. Getting out enjoying ourselves is the best medicine. Also limiting the time spent on social media would help in such a big way. Peoples spend more time looking at peoples that isn’t real just dressed up fancy clothing make up and sooooo many filters. Thanks for sharing:)

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 no filters with me although I filter my language when my camera plays up😂😂😂

Did the hike over pike o blisco crinkle crags and bowfell on weds you're right Alan one of the rockiest hikes I've done over the lakes .. quality as always ⛰️👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Not blisko. Great walk though. Cheers👍

[@eastyorkshiremamil]

I'm getting later and later at watching your videos Al 😫. Good to hear you both having a chin wag, I'm the same in terms of never wanting to take the easy route, be different, take on the challenge of pushing yourself, but always have a sense of self preservation and sometimes you just have to concede defeat, but never do that without giving everything first!💪 #no1youtuber

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely! I always put that effort in so even if you fail you still feel that you’ve accomplished 👌

[@egdop]

just got back from a night on crinkle crags sun blazing and not a drop of wind

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Perfect night!

[@joinmeoutdoors]

Another beaut of a spot 👌 And I think you've found a dogsitter there if you ever need one! Top vid, as ever 👏

[@Biggo_and_Archie_in_the_Fells]

😂😂 He certainly has 👌

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Blue would leave me in a second for the person that throws the stones for him😂😂😂

[@joinmeoutdoors]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE Haha let's pretend that's not true 😂😬

[@davidrichardson6872]

Reminds me of my youth hosteling days with the school. Unfortunately one of our teachers made me enter a fell run at Buttermere, in full fell walking kit. As a punishment for naively throwing a stone from striding edge. I came 6th in the race.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 that should be used as punishment every time. We will be a fitter nation😂. Good result too😉

[@davidrichardson6872]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE incidentally. I was going back to 1978 with my fell run punishment. Lol.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Better than the cane😂😂😂

[@davidrichardson6872]

Really!!! Cane would of hurt once. The fell run nearly killed me 😂😂

[@brkr85]

Loved this video Al, two absolutely fantastic blokes just enjoying life. Your channel really does help with mental health mate I can vouch for that, and Si was a great addition to the video. What a top guy 👏
