Omwordy, that looks worse than striding edge, a friend of mine used to ice climb it, no way hosey!!!

[@nolavout3025]

Hope there were no horseflies, horrendous in NE at the minute, hubby got bitten to bits

[@patrizzo677]

Bu tee ful Blue and you!! Glad u enjoyed the dip in the lake!! Sound of silence is bu tee ful too. Great video as always😊😊

[@jim_glasgow]

I slept on a ledge on Ben Arthur last night. I would never consider that sport as potentially appropriate before I found your channel. Thank you Al? I'm ex RAF, part-time mountain rescue and super safety conscious. Sometimes your video's scare the sh#t out of me. But, Oftentimes- you have reintroduced me to personal choice V Risk. I'm now less Betty and more Jim (Betty was an extreme freak!) I have actually camped "near" some (= < 12 of your spots). Because we are all different and often, want a different view, or airflow through my tent. I thank you. For encouraging me and sometines mine to leave the couch behind and Get Out There! My job would be much more difficult if we hadn't seen your vids! GOD Bless you Sir and your amazing Blue xxx

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Well that’s brilliant mate. I’m really glad I can assist in your adventures. Keep getting out there. I always respect the people who push over the first biggest hurdle and get out of the door👊👊👊

[@lizkent2624]

Great video, Sharp Edge looked really interesting and what a lovely place to camp!

[@hel9541]

Your videos are amazing we love them and we can’t get enough of blue.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

☺️ thanks

[@mrlodwick]

I Like to see the mighty Blue have his dinner.

[@maurice5992]

Just one word for that crossing of Sharp Edge, EPIC!!!! Great film, sublime spot for a wild camp.

[@phillipwilliams5246]

Well done All.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@matthewcollis6259]

What a day for sharp edge - absolute belter. Enjoyed that one Al and looked like the real star of the show enjoyed himself too!

[@jamieb741]

Allan , thank you so much for this glorious video. That tent position is just perfect to reflect on life and take it all in.... 👍👍👍

[@PabzAbdabz]

Great film. Really enjoyed watching that.Thanks for putting it together. Great fitness and such a well trained lovely dog. Glad to be a subscriber.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks Paul. I always try my best😬👊

[@janewhapples9214]

the best videos I've seen on youtube very inspiring thankyou to you and blue

[@timhopkins9659]

Simply Stunning. I have this in my Bucket List. Thank You :)

[@Martycycleman]

Best thing to do after a run or cycle a nice ice bath, restoring.😊

[@coops1964]

Great video, 15:35 Bluey is thinking that’s bloody high up!

[@seanr2968]

Seriously Allen - I think this is possibly one of your best videos yet. I've been a subscriber for a while now (2 years?) and I think I've seen them all now - but this is epic stuff. You've inspired me to get out more with my boys - so we're all winners. Look forward to your videos hitting the screen each week - top job mate!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate and definitely get those lads out as they need it! Keep watching👊

[@draiocht79mf]

So glad I found you and Blue around 6 months ago. Living in Abu Dhabi and your vids keep us going until we get home to some irish greenery. Super stuff pal, keep it up 👍

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m glad I can help fill the green void for you😂

[@georginabastien49]

Wow what an amazing hike and view! You are mos def blessed to live so close to those lovely mountains. I’m enjoying all the snow challenging vids!

[@TheFairway8]

I was recommended your channel when I asked someone in another video if it would be possible to hike up Scafell Pike with a dog this video has proved it would not only be possible but my dog would love it. The lakes are such a beautifully breathtaking place totally magical. Have done quite a few hikes in the area nothing as treacherous as in this video however. Would love to do some wild camping, I like that you’ve included all the kit you used, and given a quick review. Some of the gear it has to be said is quite expensive but as the saying goes ‘buy cheap buy twice’ . Will defo use your affiliate links for any purchases. New subscriber all the best to you and Blue. Phil

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Welcome mate. Definitely get your dog out there. They are quite resilient but just build up their experience and fitness like you would your own. Enjoy 👍👍👍👍

[@rogerhowis]

Brilliant video as ever. You made something that is difficult look easy. I did Sharp Edge in about 1986 and loved it. I am now 63 and it looks terrifying ha ha

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 at least you can say you’ve done it👊

[@steveproud2893]

Great vid Al one of your best, but then again you have made a lot of great ones,👍🙂

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I keep trying 😬. Thanks Steve

[@Collected1]

Another wonderful video. Thank you. I'd have a word with Blue... he watched that drone crash and didn't say a word!! 🤣

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂 oh yeah!

[@markpunderhill]

absolutely fantastic!

[@davidhudson7590]

Fittest hiker on KZbin and Faithfull blue got be best part of uk the lakes and Northumberland keep your crowded beaches in Spain or Turkey we have the wonderful countryside and views plus rather swim in fresh clean tarn than the sea with turds bobbing 😂

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 yes these places are pretty special and clean. I’m pretty fit 😉👍

[@cathycooper5606]

Brilliant video , the mountain hike looked very scary Loved the water and your dip ☺️😉, nice scenery 😊 This was a great venture Maybe one of the best but I do love the heavy rain videos Thanks Al for sharing

[@mjojrjr6231]

I've done it after hiking Scafell pike and to be honest, it feels great and refreshing. Cold water settled after a minute in it.

[@gaylinlyons6534]

Wow!!!! Thank you for sharing. Ontario Canada

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😬

[@stevec-b6214]

I still cannot believe we did sharp edge and across Blencathra, to Keswick, on a school outing, about 15 of us, age about 13ish, one kid bottled it as I remember, that was about 1968, doubt it would be possible these days! Great vid, see ya on the next one.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I think schools should still do those adventures more often. Kids need it!

[@thejughead138]

Greetings Allen, i am new to the hiking community! Just started hiking in Lake Windermere this summer with a friend! I am looking forward to hiking Striding Edge & Swirrel Edge next summer! Love & respect bro. 🙏

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Loads of amazing walks in the lakes👌 enjoy

[@thejughead138]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE Respect bro. 🙏✊👊👍

[@charlottejet4338]

This was excellent and very enjoyable to watch. Photography is amazing with awe inspiring music. My day is complete.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks I’m glad you appreciate it. I always enjoy choosing music and making it fit👍

[@moonpie6955]

I climbed to the top of may hill in Gloucester last weekend with my son, for a woman of 50 with lipodaema and fibromyalgia I did blooming well 🙂 but all the way up I kept thinking that just getting out and trying my best was an achievement in itself. You inspired me Allen- so thank you and 🤞 I'll be able to do some more 😊😊

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Brilliant I’m proud. I always say it’s better to try and fail than not to try at all. Well done and keep giving yourself challenges 👍👍👍

[@kasturiepillay8072]

Sharp edge is absolutely scary. Had a few mini heart attacks watching you guys, make it look easy. Incredible effort. Blue, you're amazing.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂

[@markbewley4974]

Class video & content 👍

[@kevinstokes2092]

Epic camp as always!

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers Kev👍 I thoroughly enjoyed this one

[@paulpieri5114]

Outstanding drone footage!!

[@Divig]

I remember the last video I saw you post from Sharp Edge, when that poor man had fallen down. Now I need to actively remind myself that since this is edited and posted you made it over and are still alive. Scary place.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Yes I thought I’d make this video to show people the true terrain so they can judge for themselves if they are able to attempt it. Thanks👍

[@tamirew9247]

Thank you Renaissance Man and Bluey Dog!

[@davidsingleton1371]

I don't like commenting on every video, but I feel I have to, that was outstanding. Your both amazing.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers dave much appreciated 👍👍👍. Someone commented that my videos are going down hill😂😂😂

[@Davidsdigitalmemories]

Hi. Loved this video, thankyou for bringing us along for the adventure. Awesome

[@delahunty982]

Did the camera fall over or did I faint as I thought it was Daniel Craig coming out of the water in Casino Royale 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂 that made me laugh.

[@steuk26]

Brilliant video there Al, good to see you back up there in the mountains.👌

[@KieronGazza]

Great vid again mate. I’ve been up sharp edge twice now, last time I realised I was scared of heights, just happened to me once I turned 50. Never been scared before, guess it’s an age thing. But you just have to respect the edge. I’m doing it again? When I get my new knee!! It wasn’t my ACL much worse!! Do something that scares you as often as possible!! Push your limits, you believe that, I believe that, that’s why you’re my number 1 go to channel. Keep it up.

[@KieronGazza]

Ps and I love dogs, and you have one hell of a best mate there. The more people I meet, the more time I want to spend with my dogs❤️

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks mate and I agree as I enjoy the buzz of challenges. This isn’t much of a challenge for us but still love it and do things whilst you can. 👊

[@David-uf8ex]

What a beautiful spot 😎

[@richardwright9563]

Been checking my notifications every day for your next vid, yours and blues adventures are just awesome 👍

[@danexitsstreetview3273]

An epic climb but happy to be experiencing it from my computer. Very well done.

[@annerand8155]

Headed for the whiskey on this one. Heart in mouth. Brilliant

[@philpoole5670]

Sharp Edge bit to risky for me not a flexible as I was …. And what a cracking spot to camp and fantastic scenery and sun shine to wake up to 👍

[@bullerboy22]

Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!

[@paulross2914]

Cheers Al for taking me places I ain't gonna get to realistically anymore. Amazed by the energy and enthusiasm you and the beautiful Blue have ❤

[@Peter-Lindsay]

Excellent pitch Alan. Looks like you’re in the same place I pitched when I camped there. My profile picture is taken in that spot. The drone footage of Sharp Edge is awesome.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s not a bad place to pitch. Could do with a spade to make it a bit flatter😬👍

[@samappleby1297]

Wow,thankyou . That was my whole evening. God bless you

[@MendhiArtBySonya]

Best video by far! ❤️

[@Phil-earnshaw]

just awesome, the only thing i can think of describing this video, not sure i would be brave enough to do sharp edge even without a selfie stick and drone but once again thanks for sharing 🙂

[@alisonmcarthur]

Really scare me Bushy when you do these types of climb and so pleased when your get back to a safe spot. Beautiful Bluey as gorgeous as ever and thanks for the ‘Hot Hot Hot’ footage for us ladies when your taking a dip!! Thanks again for all the beautiful footage and I’m so pleased you got the drone back. ❤ Until the next one…….

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂😂😂 cold cold cold! Thanks Ali

[@valchapman527]

excellent vid! you and Blue makes it look easy

[@liamahern8527]

Fantastic video Al, Sharp Edge looks a bit scary. Blue was brilliant. Loved the music.Really enjoyed the video 👍

[@agnesmolnar7076]

I got dizzy just by watching you walk through the Sharp Edge. Such a beautiful place. It reminds me a lot of the One Man's Pass on Slieve League. And the drone footage was epic. Thanks Al and Blue for takig us again.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks 😬

[@azclaimjumper]

"The KING's Chair" aka Thermarest Trekker Chair that wraps around an air mattress to provide a hiker with insulated from the ground back supported chair. My Trekker Chair is wrapped around my Thermarest XTherm with an R6.9 rating. Your hike up Sharp Edge is outside my comfort zone. It was really enjoyable watching you scramble up. 35:50 Beautiful view. You have & eat Broccoli like I have & eat bacon. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s okay Bill your comfort zone at your age is larger than anyone’s 👍👍👍

[@maggi666]

Great one All. The daredevil is back 😉😍

[@charlesperry1051]

Not sure I want to do that knife edge hike but I would LOVE to camp near that lake.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

There are loads of nice tarns to camp by😉👌

[@Annies_Ink]

Fabulous! Loved every minute. Many thanks Al and Blue! ❤️💙

[@stevenwood5595]

Awesome video I was quite amazed how blue found it so easy

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

It’s pretty straightforward for him. I don’t need to give him a command he will just do it. 👌

[@TheMadmacs]

great stuff, i love when i get away and to begin with i'm not even sure if i'm gonna come straight home, then disasters like getting soaked thru putting up the tent puts me into focus mode, and all the other the doubts melt away, then 10 hours sleep and wake up dry, in ''lets do this mode''

[@ragingbull9940]

Another very instructive lesson for novices So entertaining much appreciated

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I thought I’d just show more what it’s like so people can make a better decision on wether it’s for them. Thanks👍👍👍

[@Christine-il8nm]

Brilliant video but then all your videos are realy good .just love blue hes amazing ...

[@SarahLee220]

That place looks stunning 😍 that sea looks beautiful, better than me swimming in Whitley bay sea at the weekend with all the rocks. Look forward to part two.

[@ryanbrummitt2992]

Convinced I saw you in Pately Bridge last week but was to unsure to say hello!!! Keep up the good work.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

You definitely did and you definitely should have said hello👊👍

[@Morphaplasm]

That's a scary ascent round Sharp Edge Al. Blue made it look all to easy. Great vid and stunning scenery. I hope the drone survived to fly another day. I have the Flextail Mini Repel and I have it hanging outside under my tarp in the woods. Does really make a different, especially with the outside setting on. I'm really pleased with mine. I hate going to bed with mosquito repellent on, bloody stinks! Look forward to the next one mate. Loved the music in this too.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I’m not sure if the Tony repel yet. It will get more testing. Drone survived luckily as they are my favourite parts to film and edit😬

[@Morphaplasm]

@@BUSHMANandBLUE I always replace the pads every time I use it with fresh pads. Seems to help sat outside in the dark. Look forward to next vid! Love how Blue follows your commands. Well trained and beautiful dog. Love your channel, oh, and Wildbear too! 💕

[@lyndamarland9405]

Omg 😆 lol 😂 you are like the bionic man!! And Blue bionic dog woweee what an awesome team you both are! I was glued to the tv with you both on that edge praying 🙏 lol you would get down safely!!……hats off to you seriously amazing vlog no way could I ever go up that high and I’ve walked up a few mountains when I was younger! But this was like a knife edge! Thank you for this great content. 🩵🐾🐾

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Not quite bionic 😂. It’s definitely a challenging walk but we love it😊

[@NadiaShannon]

Find your videos so inspiring and bizarrely I did my first solo camp exactly where you camped here at Scales Tarn a couple nights ago.. then I see this video drop! Bonkers 😆

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Excellent! I’m sure you loved it. On to the next one👊

[@lifesahobby]

You're a legend

[@therossendalerambler-mikei7294]

Brilliant vlog and epic drone shots. My only visit to Sharp Edge was by accident in my scouting days. Thick cloud in January ice everywhere biting wind and we found ourselves coming down it 😢. Anyway we survived with no mishaps just glad we couldn’t see the bottom but VERY scary. I will go back and do it again tho in good conditions.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Good memories though😉.

[@andrewstennett3186]

Eh up matey, that was a great one. Blencathra is a great looking mountain and it does spend a lot of its time in the clouds. Some brave drone footage there fella along with caution and respect to Sharp Edge. It is scarier that Striding edge that's for sure. Lovely camp there at Skales tarn. I want to do that one myself and red tarn at helvelyn. That trekker chair is brilliant and wondering if it would work with any sleeping matt. Keep up the good work Al lad and Bluey. Brilliant video. Enjoyed that. Atb fella.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

The chair comes in two widths and would work with any mat. I definitely like using it more so when it’s dry. Thanks mate 👍👍👍

[@thewiltshirewomble]

Awesome adventure… fantastic ! Thank you for sharing bud 👍

[@INSOLESandLACES]

Great video, sharp edge looks fantastic and Blue made a grade 1 look so easy. Drone footage before the crash looked like the opening scene from an action movie. That tent reminds me of my old TN Solar but the Fally had more features. Nice video to watch after two long hill days here in Snowdonia. Many thanks for sharing Al and give Blue dog a hug from me ❤

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

I should make an action movie😂

[@Terrylyon1979]

As always al brilliant just after I come back from the lakes again went up raven crag brilliant veiws for a very short but steep accent

[@crowtheri]

Brilliant, Allen! What an idyllic setting. I can see the stresses of your week ebb away via exercise and chilling out with your Kenko! Blue is such a wonderful dawg. It's easy to see how man and dog coexist as one. Blue is super agile, too - great to see him legging it off in front of you up Sharp Edge! ("Come on, Dad, hurry up!!"). Wonderful film, I really enjoyed it. Thanks again for taking us along! All the best - Ian

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Cheers Ian. It’s always a place of no stress when out. No hassle from anyone😬👌

[@MrFloris]

😮😮. Wow. Oopsy daisy moment. 😮😮. Glad it was the drone and not you. ❤stay safe

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Definitely 😂👍

[@MrBrianc1975]

I can see why they call it sharp edge! That was an awesome video. Waking up beside that tarn must be better than any hotel. Thanks for another perfect sunday viewing.

[@williamforrester1853]

You never let us down Allen love it cheers will

[@stephenoverthrow2463]

Nice one Al, keep up the great work. Did Sharp Edge about 20 years ago on one of our winter walking trips in a December. Weather was dry ish, but as we got onto the ridge the clag came down and made the going under foot slippery as hell. Was really glad to get on to Blencathra. All the best.

[@RayPlater]

Amazing Video !! Truly spectacular, Sharp Edge looks stunning. Hopefully one day I will try it myself.

[@bmt1h]

Hi Al, that’s your best video yet. The aerial shots and music were fantastic. You’ve found another level buddy. Glad you had a good day in the hills

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Wow best yet?! Thanks 😊

[@KieCamps]

What a video 👏🏻

[@vi0205]

An another wonderful Video, Allan👍❤️

[@suedavies2157]

Just ace! 😊

[@Manda47]

Absolutely love your videos, struggled to watch you on sharp edge,I’m so terrified of heights! But I’m a cold water swimmer so I totally get your feelings having a dip. ❤

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Until you do it you’ll not quite get that feeling. It’s ace😬

[@tracymac1111]

Wow Al, the camera/drone work was so good. The views were magnificent, the feeling of being there was strong. My heart leapt a couple of times on sharp edge, I should know better as you have taken us there before, it still frightens the life out of me every time lol. The happy and well deserved contentment you experienced in that idyllic setting, was evident Alan. You are an amazing advertisement for the Lake District and the Great Outdoors. Thank you for all the hard work you do to share this beautiful world and your experiences with us.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thank you so much it’s greatly appreciated 😊. I just hope to inspire a few people to get outdoors and find those similar feelings😬

[@heathercampbell6906]

hi allen that is beautiful really beautiful and give blue a big hug love yr vibes 👍👍

[@libbybertrand9320]

Great video!😊❤️🇺🇸

[@jacksyoungest5194]

Morning Flowers.....Another great vid Al.... nice to see something a little different 10/10

[@katiebooth2031]

loved the video x

[@malcolminstone4213]

Many a year ago I got below Sharp Edge, no ta. You 6 legs make it look so easy. I know you only have one side but your Jack's Rake film was scarier to watch. Not done that either! Top film as per. The (mountain) 🐐 The( mountain)🐶 ❤

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Jacks rake is definitely a lot harder. Blue can’t do it alone like the rest of the Lakeland scrambles 👍👍👍

[@nannylinda03]

Fantastic video as always. I wish you would stay away from Sharp Edge. It's fun and challenging for you but it absolutely terrifies me! I know you take your own and Blue's safety seriously which is some comfort but for someone with a crippling fear of heights, it makes difficult watching. If it gets too bad I just look away for a few seconds 😒 I love your enthusiasm and joy in what you do. Very inspiring.

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

Thanks nanny Linda😬.

[@mikestephens5622]

Really enjoyed this one. Scales tarn is really peaceful and Sharp edge looked dangerous...I've taken the left hand path up, and that was hard too, at the top. Excellent photography, and relaxed chat. 😊

[@darrenray6934]

Awesome place for ⛺️. On my to do list. But the edge puts me off. Although done the helvellyn& striding edge 🤔think next summer may have. Go

[@petercregg7525]

Another great watch .done blencathra via halls fell ridge which was bad enough. But never had the confidence to do sharp edge 👍

[@BackInTheNewYorkGroove]

I love the fact that I always seem to be out walking and enjoying the nature around me when Al and Blue's videos drop... seems very appropriate! Can't wait to watch when I get home. ❤

[@jof1495]

Your videos are amazing, but your attitude to your adventures & to life etc., makes them even more special! Love that this one almost seemed like multiple adventures packed into one trip too. It’s easy to see where it got the name ‘Sharp Edge’ when you see your videos & drone footage…OMG! 😮 Was watching part of it (around 15:07 mins, & immediately saw what looked like the shape of a dog’s (or wolf’s) face along the top of the rock formations…so I deduced that someone must be trying to say the area is made for you & Blue to explore! 🤣

[@BUSHMANandBLUE]

😂 it’s definitely a great place for a challenging walk. Easy for Blue though😂. It’s all about positive attitude 😬

[@runthomas]

i dont like sleeping in tents but live near the moors and go out into the mud every weekend sat and sunday with dog... and this man hit the nail on the head.. when he said "how many nights to remember ... sat at home".... bingo!.. that the line right there. get out, get into the elements and be human again..... you wont be here forever.
