Climbing into the TALLEST Waterfall in The Lake District

Scale Force is the heighest waterfall in The Lake District. Today we decided to adventure to the waterfall and see if we could get close with a super market umbrella!
If you would like to see Em's TikTok you can here! / emmanelles31 Remember to come back and leave her a comment on this video so she knows you've been! :D

[@UrbanGhostStories]

That was a great video. It looked so much fun! You are both lucky to have found someone mad enough to share these adventures. Memories to last a lifetime ❤️

[@jackasnacks]

Thanks Urban we appreciate the kind words mate. Me and Em have a ton of memeories exploring the Outdoors, we just didn't film anything back in the day but plenty of stories to be told on our new advnetures!

[@steve15]

Completely bonkers and exactly my sort of mad hike. Thank you for sharing it and have a great weekend.

[@jackasnacks]

Nice one Steven can't beat the high feeling after doing something adventurous like this. We will be back out doing god knows what next! Enjoy your Sunday!

[@JURASSICDIVERUK]

Beautiful location and great to see people enjoying the outdoors. The banter makes for a fun video.

[@thewhofan1964]

Great video. They are not blueberries mate, they are Sloe berries from the blackthorn bush. You can make Sloe gin from them. They are not harmful eaten raw but they are very bitter and can dry your mouth out. They are usually harvested after the first frost in October.

[@jackasnacks]

Cheers Whofan Em is going to go harvest some to make some Gin :)

[@thewhofan1964]

@@jackasnacks Would be interested to know how it turns out. 👍

[@Sally4th_]

Freeze them overnight if you can't wait for a frost.

[@gilliankoivu9145]

I never knew why sloe gin was called that. ☺

[@georgea7336]

I most certainly always did wonder where sloe gin was derived

[@pirispice]

To add on to the comments about the sloe; here in Sweden we make jam and syrup with them as well (though I’m starting to suspect make jam out of everything we can get our hands on, including things that maybe shouldn’t be jam… looking at you, pine and moss).

[@rickfearman6827]

What a grand adventure that you and M had that day truly wonderful enjoyed the whole video,,,,thank you so much for sharing with all of us

[@jackasnacks]

Cheers Rick will look out for you on the next one :D

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Absolute nutters 😂😂😂. Great Drone footage and loved the experiment. Great vlog, loved it. Em was a star, thought she might have had issue with the climb but she was ace. Thanks for the upload Jack.

[@jackasnacks]

I didn’t think she would climb it either but she was all for it!

[@emmanelles8537]

Thanks Chris! ☺️

[@g79089]

Always great to tune into your videos. Great entertainment and very inspiring!

[@jojomillward675]

The brolly stuff was hilarious. Great job guys. 😂😂

[@davidberlanny3308]

What an amazing place!! You didnt look too cold at the end but I bet you were. If I were you I would have put a flask of hot teat in my rucksack ....... or something much stronger. Well done to Emma for climbing up to the base of the waterfall, looked ok going up but coming down much more complicated I think. I would think it wise to be totally sure about the weather before venturing in, imagine what that place would be like in full flow. Great to see the valley which you showed us from the Bothy, some great drone clips in the video as well. I havent a clue how old Emma is so I wont hazard a guess, she has got a lovely smile though and you both look really happy out on these adventures. I had a look at her postings on the program you mentioned, first time Ive had a look on there. My nephew uses it to promote his fish and chip shop in Ringwood. Brollys are known as Brollys down south and even further south they are known as paraguas!! (literally for water!!). Good luck from Spain!!

[@emmanelles8537]

We actually ventured here about a month ago so knew it was okay to climb and had an idea of the water depth up there 😊 It was very clear compared to last time too so that was good! Surprisingly grippy to climb too! Good idea about the flask though I should have thought 😄

[@belinda7073]

Just stumbled across your channel. Love the videos with both you and em in them, true Cumbrians and great easy watching content. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@mattknowsnothing]

Hi thanks for the video, what an adventure, looks like you both had a laugh:) For your reference and possible intoxication, the berrys are Sloe Berry's, which can be used by adding sloes and sugar to gin, to make Sloe gin;) The mushrooms were fly agaric, which are poisonous. They are known to be psychoactive, once thought to be used by shamans in the northern hemisphere. Lol I'm not totally sure, but think that Labrador was actually a fat long haired retriever. Think that's what the woman's bemused expression was about;) Thanks, looking forward to your next adventure:)

[@jackasnacks]

Nice one Matt Em will be back out there soon now she knows you can make gin with them 😂 I can’t identify wild plants so I’d probably not risk it but I’d never seen a mushroom look as bright red I usually only see white brown or yellow ones!

[@reasonsvoice8554]

Fly agaric (amanita muscaria) Is not actually poisonous as such They need to be prepared properly and aren't actually psychoactive either but medicinal in a few ways a really interesting species that a lot of information has been lost about over the years since people have been scared off of it by warnings of it being poisonous 👍

[@jackasnacks]

Hey Polly, no we weren't worried. We already climbed up the first time we visited so knew what to expect although i did think i was going to be able to get under it. Bit foolish of me to think it was possible but the amount of force i couldn't get any closer really. Too hard to breathe!

Brilliant video I'm from the lakes and miss the views been to the falls many times to photograph it never thought about standing in it

[@jonm4989]

Nice one Jack, I bet you were careful climbing up those rocks at the waterfall. One tip for you on the navigation, I don’t know if you use the OS app but I started using it a little over a year ago and it’s a game changer. It’s about £25 pa but makes navigation super easy, also when you’re doing your vlogs you’ll be able to identify all the fells etc. Good work you two and keep having fun.

[@jackasnacks]

Yeah I need to add it to my kit Jon I’ve seen how handy they are from people giving me directions whilst I’m out. Will really help with my fell knowledge too!

[@jonm4989]

@@jackasnacks definitely Jack. I got lost in the mist on top of Helvelyn last year and came down the wrong route. It made my mind up to get the app and I’ve used it so much since. In certain situations it could be a life saver.

[@geordieal]

Another bucket list destination/challenge added… get closer to Scale Force than Jack and Em! I think Brolly is used across the whole of the uk….there used to be a Public Information Film that was broadcast with the closing line “Wish I’d brought my brolly”… but if you said Brolly over here in Canada they wouldn’t have a clue what you were talking about!

[@emmanelles8537]

Canada is on my bucket list!

[@geordieal]

@@emmanelles8537 you’ll need a big bucket ;) west coast is the best…the mountains and ocean are spectacular! East coast a close second… more rugged but still beautiful and feels much more like the UK. The bit I’m in ( Great Lakes) is probably the least exciting…yeah, the lakes are impressive, and Niagara Falls is cool…once or twice…but nothing compared to the Lake District!

[@emmanelles8537]

@@geordieal haha I know! Some roads I’ve driven down or places I’ve been here I’ll say ‘feels like this would be in Canada’ 😅 It’s probably the same feeling either way, if you live there it can take the excitement off. There has been a few amazing places I’ve been to here but mostly I feel it’s all the same!

[@emmanelles8537]

28 is correct! I’ll take 24 though 😅

[@obsidiansuby]

Wonder if you could use the drone for walking away shots, then fly it back to you. Being from the US though, we run away from shots, duck or return fire.

The word Brolly is the slang term used for an umbrella in Australia, New Zealand, UK,

[@CodeLeeCarter]

Wikifact (If you can still trust Wikipedia,... The word Brolly is the slang term used for an umbrella in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland and even in South Africa. The origin of brolly is an alteration of (um)brell(a) dating back to around 1870-1875... and I'd say she is 24-26 years old. and be careful of those red shrooms with white dots, there fly agaric and give one hell of a LSD trip.

[@eudaenomic]

No, umbrella mostly or parasol least. I saw those in the movie hunger games those are Nightlock berries. We're going to hear the cannon go off!

[@compostjohn]

Hahahhaa NOT blueberries! They're sloes, fruit of the Blackthorn. Not poisonous but not great to eat without serious preparation! Fun vid, though.

[@robinclayton8284]

ahhh, scale force. I remember taking the kids there ~7 years ago.. explaining that the water was indeed drinkable like mineral water ( minds blown!!! )
