Wild Camp Cautley Spout 21st April 2022

[@rivit90]

Cracking video mate , really brought home some great memories from my school days , Our school had its own cottage in dent ( white heart house) I had the pleasure of visiting the place a good few times . My final visit before leaving school included a long days walking back to dent from the top of cautley spout, After being told in no uncertain terms not to attempt to climb the waterfall, but stick to the path up the side of it . One of the lads decided he would climb it anyway. He probably reached around 60 foot up before he froze , scared stiff. Teacher had to go up after him ( after making sure we all stayed put) I don't think I've ever seen a lad hit so hard by a teacher after he got him down ( eventually) At the time we didn't see the gravity of the situation the idiot put us all in . On the way back down , we were advised under no circumstances run, Walk sideways and Go as slow as possible, Then a lad decided he will trot down , Within seconds we could hear him like a steam train , Full throttle doing his best to avoid big rocks . Teacher just managed to trip him up as he was about to pass. He ended up with a broken arm. At this point teacher had had enough, We were marched to the road, Given directions back to dent whilst he found the nearest emergency hospital with The unfortunate arm breaker and the waterfall climber . It took us hours to get back to dent, both lads parents were asked to come and collect them , All in all a great experience that taught us all about the danger's in certain situations away from home . I seen the long walk back as a great little adventure. ATB tony n

Head to the hills, many say here...even if not going to the hills but explains all type of getting outside, whether camping or not. For me, I just enjoy seeing the absolute joy that Otis displays any time we get outside, any where, for any length of time. Love your site and those rock walls. Awesome! Take good care and hope your weekend is going well! Bruce and Otis
