- CAUTLEY SPOUT - THE HIGHEST WATERFALL IN ENGLAND
A wild night camping out with the dog in the beautiful Howgill Fells. Bad weather allowed us to have the stunning waterfall completely to ourselves as I never saw a soul. Perfect! (Allthough I do love people)
PHDesigns - Wafer Down Trousers and Socks
Ultralight down trousers (130g) and socks (45g). Minimalist design which aims to provide the best warmth to weight ratio to add warmth for your sleep system. I was amazed that I slept comfortably in them without a sleeping bag! They will get chucked in my backpack just to add lightweight comfort to my camps and I’ll be definitely using these over winter to test their capabilities.

THE LIGHEST SLEEPING BAG IN THE WORLD
PHDesigns - Delta-Race 100 K
Testing out PHDesign’s lightest sleeping bag in the world weighing in at a massive 200g! It is designed specifically for ultralight multi-day endurance events and weight conscious backpackers and bike packers. Perfect for me! This bag utilises the best design and materials possible to maximise heat gain and minimise weight including 100% 1000 fill power European goose down. This down is the most expensive simply because of it’s rarity and it is the highest quality down available as it has the greatest loft. The bag has a typical operating temperature of 10 degrees Celsius which will accomodate for several months of the year and it packs down ridiculously small. Roll on some endurance events and adventures!

PHDesigns - Wafer Ultima K Down Jacket
Weighing in at just 185g (without hood) this jacket maximises warmth to weight ratio and will keep you warm down to freezing. Ideal to put on when you arrive at camp with a depleted body after a hard day moving. It uses the same 1000 fill power down as their sleeping bags and like all of PHDesigns gear it is made in the UK. Mine is a standard sized medium and fits me perfectly and I’m 6ft with a slim (ish) athletic build but like many of their garments you can order custom sizes to suit your body shape and size. No other compant seems to do that! It looks good, it feels good and due to it’s weight and pack size worth carrying even just for emergency situations. I’ll be wearing this a lot in all parts of my life!

you and Blue are the morecombe and wise of the camping world, what i mean by that is you give off the feelgood factor! how you only have 48.9k subs is beyond me i share your content with all my friends and hopefully they have suscribed as well, also you are a good advertisement for this beautiful country of ours and if only everyone listened to leave no trace it would be even better, thanks for the journey again 🙂
Thanks Phil and sharing my channel is exactly what I need 👊. We should do a Morcombe and Wise breakfast sketch😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE blue would have to be wise as he didn't fall in the river 😅
This
Blue is such a character. So happy. Love seeing him ❤
House up for sale Monday morning, let's kit myself out with some PH Designs 😂
😂 at least you’ll be warm and won’t need to pay for heating😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 🤣
Blue is such a lucky dog he's having the best life...your videos are always amazing and this one didn't dissapoint ..you do fantastic work thx for sharing ..
He is a lucky dog for definite but I’m also so lucky too 🥰
@BUSHMANandBLUE you realy are your the best of friends its so heartwarming to see
Tha makes me home sick! Originally from Gloucestershire but now I live in Toowoomba Australia. Very mountainous here and so much bushwalking it’s amazing. Once I’m healed from my surgery I’m going hiking!! ❤ Thankyou for showing us beautiful Yorkshire. The land of my mother ❤
You can always ignore the product advice that Al gives in these vids and go and do your own thing, but not everybody has the knowledge/experience of camping products and the best types to use in certain weather conditions. He’s been there, seen it and done it. Not sure you would find a better camping enthusiast than Al who could give you frank and honest advice about what to use. Sure, he might get benefits from advertising them, but so what! He deserves it. He’s the one who is putting up with the crap weather conditions to entertain us all when all said and done. And of course, there Blue as well. The vids would never the same without him would they!
Stunning scenery, and stunning Blue of course ❤
Awesome camp in the most amazing spot. Thank you for showing us some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. Best wishes to you and Blue; cheers from Australia.
So beautiful! Thank you. 😊
Yes Alan! Just what i need to start my Sunday! Much love x
Having a fear of heights you frighten me pitching so close to the edge 🥺🥺
Love your videos. They are really unique. The appreciation you have for the landscape you explore shines through.
I’m glad you enjoy them mate👍
loved the video x
Amazing as always
Crazy stuff! Great for all!
Great location great kit! ❤
Fantastic! Thanks for all the effort you put into filming this for us.
Nice one Al. Lovely views, beautiful waterfall, and a great fall in the water. We've all done it chap, no embarrassment 😅😅
Naaaaah there’s no point being embarrassed in life. Shit happens😉👍
Excellent bushman and blue are back happy days
What a beautiful water fall❤️ Loved watching Blue play with the drone!
Nice video 👍👍👍👍
Great video, thank you. I really enjoyed it and WOW what beautiful landscape 🥰
Oh that beautiful dog warms my heart.

Love your videos, watching you and Blue cozy in a tent is so cool - from Australia
☺️ thanks
Love your videos. You deserve more views
That was one spectacular video. A mindblowing waterfall, awesome drone footage and a great choice of music, - as always. 🎉
Thanks for sharing.
Love blue he’s so cute and love your videos 😊
Wow never knew that place existed. Another one to add to my walking list. Great video thanks 😊
Oh my goodness, did not see the tumble coming! Fantastic recovery!!!!
Really nice episode and loving the romp with Blue.❤️🇦🇺
Nice opening sound track !
Perfect accompaniment to the uber-rare late autumnal sunshine in the usually pluvial Manchester today...
I loved this video
Thanks bud I’m glad you liked it. Easy camp but a pretty special place👌
Nothing like wearing local to you Al👍nice camp in those Smurf hot pants🤣
Find these videos really relaxing,man and man’s best friend doing what they love really love to see it
Glad you enjoy it!
Mate another great little adventure and that view certainly was breathtaking 😮🇦🇺
Thanks mate. It was a great spot for a camp👌
Oh dear, oh dear. We are now into product placement big style. I think I will replay the original stuff because that was genuine, true and from your heart. Have you watched The Truman Show?
Oh dear oh dear 😂
Morning Al. This is a pleasant surprise for a Sunday morning 😺
☺️
That set up looks sweet, love that tent & the PH gear looks the dogs danglies, love the fall Into the water 😂 good job it was on the way down 🙈
Now then Flower lovely blog nice to see Blue enjoying himself
Yey, Blue is back again 🐶 ❤😅
Stunning waterfall and views
Thank you 🙏 😊
Looks like you’ve binged a good few videos. I’m glad you’re enjoying them☺️
Super nice vlog thanks very enjoyable , even an expert can have a splash 😃
😂 falling is part of it I’m just glad I caught it on camera😂
Fabulous to watch 👀👀👀 absolutely stunning views ❤️ and slipping in the water..OOPS 😂 ❤
😂 it happens to everyone but I guess it’s more about standing back up again😬
Blue in a blue tent 😊 fair play for leaving the stacked incident 😂
I’d never leave out something that would gain a laugh😂
What a wonderful place that is beautiful scenery that waterfall is something else Top Notch as usual. Take care Bushman and Blue brilliant. Cheers. All the best. B. K
Cheers BK. Definitely a special place👌
Quality camp there mate, with some great kit tested out, and yet another place to add to my list of places to visit!!!
Worth a wander up mate👌
I also enjoyed the video you with the father. Hope he is doing well too.
Really beautiful waterfall. Blue really likes the cooler weather.
He definitely prefers winter as all summer he’s too hot.
Only one thing to say, four paw drive.
Cheers great vide
Wow just wow! Never heard of this waterfall, it's stunning. Top film Al as per usual. I don't mention The Mutt often but he was in seriously Hollywood action in this one,love it. The 🐐 The 🐶 ❤
He’s such a happy dog 🥰. Thanks Mal
Amazing dramatic landscape with the weather mate. A wet backside was more than worth it 😁🙌
😂 exactly that
Now then Al. What a fitting end to such another great video, that drone footage and music. Could watch and listen to that all night. Yet again Al, nailed it. 👌
Just an easy night but thoroughly enjoyable even with a clothed dip in the stream😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE can’t beat some cold water therapy 🤣
Love. Your clips! Magic ! Keep em comming 👌💯
Some fantastic footage there mate! I've done a fair bit of wild swimming in the Yorkshire Dales so can't believe I've never heard of Cautley spout. Must visit, it looks stunning!
Yes some places do get overlooked even being this magnificent. Worth a visit👌
Wow beautiful location. PHD do make some fantastic top end stuff. You even managed to sack it with grace which is unlike me, I tend to bash something and bust me glasses. Many thank for the hardwork to show your adventures.
Yes the PHD gear is next level and I’m amazed every time I pick up that jacket because it’s ridiculously lightweight. I definitely luckily fell well😂
Thank you - now had me morning chuckle 😂😂
I could so hug and fuss that Blue! Give him a tummy rub from me please 💞
At my expense when I fell😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE that was a bonus 😇
Nice. And that was lightweight 😮
Hi Al, I was there myself on Christmas day two years ago, amazing place, keep getting out there mate👍
Great Christmas 👌😬
Stoped for a night on the calf. On way from South Yorkshire to lakes lovely quiet place up there. The tent looks bang on 👍🏻
Great tent for two but too heavy for one really. Top quality though!
That PHD gear looks the bizz - I have been looking at a few cheaper alternates maybe Naturehike - I am also lucky to have the Montane Outlet store not too far away and they occasionally have these down tops and bottoms in. Another great video - stay safe guys.
PHD is definitely the best for warmth to weight ratio but yes it does cost. Just checkout the sales as there are always bargains to be had. Rab have an outlet store which is a good shout called mountain outfitters in Alfreton. 👌
Blue’s eyes are the best. It’s always a nice surprise when something you think will be horrid, turns out ok (tea)
Yes I agree and it was easy to make
really love the idea of down suit, i'm trying to get a lighter warmer sleeping bag and the thought of getting it wrong, i've been very cold before its pretty horrible. so the down suit sounds like a brilliant way to go.
There are different ways to add to the warmth. If you already have a good quality sleeping bag you could consider a down quilt to go over the top of it maybe? For all year round generally you’ll need 2 sleeping bags or sleep systems 👍👍
I watch your videos for what they are, and love them. the wife watches for Blue, She says it must be a happy dog as it never barks. Love that area, sedbergh,Dent and Hawes. Fab. Keep them coming.
He does bark occasionally but he’s more about giving the love🥰. Cheers Steve 👍
Another top notch video. That pitch was in a great position and the down Michelin man kit looked toasty. Nice of you to fall in the waterfall deliberately for our viewing pleasure!
😂 luckily I fell well
Good stuff my friend! We’re the ones that ran into you and Blue at Skafell Pike 👍🏻
Will be following your adventures
Well done mate enjoy some of our adventures 👊
Great video man . Lovely shots .
Last Christmas i went camping , had tge tent lovely , woke up at 4am for a pee and nearly froze to death iin 40 seconds .
This made me shift to padded clothes in the sleeping bag . . Now i feel great even if i have to get out .
Love your gear , perfect for the heights you achieve .
Cheers for making me jealous
Owen
😂 yes I agree with how quickly you can lose your body heat especially in winter. It can then take hours to get warm again. Great shout having down gear👌
Oh wow just 10 minutes from my house, its lovely up there ❤
Great place for a walk out😉👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE it sure is mate, another good one 10 mins away, is wild boar fell, there’s a lovely tarn on the top with amazing views ❤️
Down from head to toe, and a massive vestibule to boot?? that's glamping is that. Blue just needs a cape to keep the rain off him. Nice set up, Al.👍
😂 it was glamping😂
Nice one AL, enjoyed this one. It's a really nice area and cautley spout is amazing. New kit looked spot on and love the tent, that is a tank eh
It’s a beast of a tent but definitely for two people to carry. The Howgills are seriously quiet👌
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yeah they are super quiet aren't they 👌. Aye it would be orite for me to carry 🤣
I went for a walk up Cautley Spout back in March, there was a little bit snow down and parts of the waterfall were frozen, stunning scenery. I then walked up onto Great Dummacks, Calders, Bram Rigg, The Calf and then dropped down to Bowderdale Beck and up onto Yarlside. Fantastic walk. Great video Al
It’s a lovely area and not many people visit👍
Brilliant adventure tent looks really good too, unfortunate you had a slip into the water but it happens , Great content nice footage from the drone too , Also can I ask what is your blue and grey jacket your wearing? I like it also big like left mate, safe camping
Thanks for showing us the new kit Al. I find your reviews helpful. Your down jacket seemed to loft really well. Gram counting isn’t for everyone but it makes such a difference on multi-day thru hikes - often worth the extra £ in my opinion. Good to support UK businesses if you can afford to. Atb
Yes gram counting is necessary but everyone has their limit to suit their needs. I’m going to test some of this kit where it will be needed. I might have to do a multi day ultra😉
Lovely - I was just saying to my self "take care on the stream crossing" and whoops!
😂😂😂
We’ve hiked up to Cautley spout, amazing place, we carried on up to the trig point at cow/calf crag (can’t remember which) as well that day. 😊
Steep ascent but very quiet (I didn’t see a soul).
@@BUSHMANandBLUE it was extremely quiet the day we were there. The interesting thing was, when we got back to the lay-by next to the pub, we got chatting with a local who said there was a lady buried underneath the dining room in the pub. She was apparently a single mother back in the 1700s, who died of malnutrition. It’s amazing what you learn from locals.
Beautiful scenery yet again Al.
You managed to get good weather. I’m off work this week and it’s fog in the Lake District mountains, Fog in the Yorkshire Dale’s. Not the safest weather for my activities and you can’t see nout due to fog and visibility. Don’t want waste my days off work so little disappointed looks like beaches and caves. Your videos are always special and your camera work is amazing and you always capture the best nature has to offer.
Kindest regards mate.
Yes the weather hasn’t been that good for a long while up north. Just do whatever adventures you can that will still be enjoyable 👍👍👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Thanks Al mate . Toddy the smell of the Autumn woodlands is absolutely divine, whist heading through for higher ground and mountains… Autumn 🍂 is so gorgeous.
Kindest regards Al mate…. 👍👍👍
Back in the flirting with the sketchy stuff game Al.......love to see it 😂
Hope you and the family are well.
Adge
Winter is coming😂😂😂😂😂
Its been awhile i missed Blue. Oh yes and you a bit. :). Stay safe my friend
😂 I don’t get a look in with Blue around 😂
Yorkshire Dale's is awesome. That waterfall has six or seven tiers to it. England is epic for its size.🇬🇧🇺🇸🍺
There are some amazing places👌
A man and his dog in the fells good to see
Great place for it too👌
Love the videos
I only ever buy kit that is made in the uk or army surplus
Yes PHD is all made in the UK and therefore can be custom made to fit! Awesome stuff and a service you won’t get from other outdoor brands👌👌👌
Such fantastic views. I guess if no one knew you went up there and something bad happened you wouldn't be discovered for months eep!
I always let someone know roughly where I’m going but it’s too safe inside for me😂😂
Al, only two things would get me up while it was still dark outside on a weekend morning--your new video or the house being on fire. Fortunately it was the former, and worth being awake for! Loved the waterfall and the views. Sorry about the slip, though. Must have been cold walking back down after that.
😂 well hopefully both would give you a little warmth😂. It wasn’t too cold walking but stood still with the drone I felt it. Better on the way back though👍
Wow only just found your channel absolutely superb. Thank you.
Have you done a video showing slight more affordable kit at all ? I’d love to see your opinion on kit for us minions lol ! Thanks again
Welcome! I just show the kit I have and use but mainly trust. I wouldn’t want to show kit that might end up failing and putting you in danger. I think it’s often about picking good weather👍
🥶🥶 I was born In Llandudno, It’s a great place to visit 🥶🥶
Cautley Spout my local walk. Been up there at night in a full moon. Saw my first 'moonbow' in the waterfall spray.
If you haven't already, try Wildboar Fell near Kirkby Stephen just up the road. 703m high. Now that's another great walk with spectacular views across the Howgills and Yorkshire Dales. Hell of a wild place in the snow.
One day👊
Thank you for that honest bit--I knew you're not perfect :). You're close to being that, but we are all imperfect humans after all. Love to see a vd on how you train Blue. Keep up the great work!
😂 far from perfect but we all have to keep going in life👍👍👍
Stunning place that Al but yeah, gotta have your wits about you.. That gear you wore was top notch and pack size is unbelievable.. Great mix again and so glad the drone got a outing with some stunning footage matey. I promise I didn't laugh at your little stumble, and after all that your walk of shame back to get your camera😂. Keep up the good work fella , enjoyable watch again.
Thanks Andy as always. I’d be upset if you didn’t laugh😂
Great video, Blue thought about coming to the rescue 🙂I did a similar thing and injured my wrist for weeks, not broken though.
Yes I was lucky to fall by well
Really enjoyed watching this one, and Blue was in his element as always.
Laughed at your fully clothed attempt at a mountain 'swim'😂. Personally, I wouldn't have resisted stripping off naked and took a cold shower 🚿 beneath a section of the falls. 💦
😂 it was pretty cold that day though. It would definitely have been refreshing 😂
I didn't blink, not once. Thoroughly enjoyed every second. I admit that I've NOT looked to see how much any pieces of your kit cost. The drone footage of the waterfall was the crowning touch. I was having trouble keeping my feet warm at night inside my sleeping bag until I bought a pair of 100% overfilled Goosefeet brand of down booties, now my feet stay toasty warm all night.
I was somewhat surprised, considering the windy conditions that you didn't feel the need to put any big heavy rocks atop any tent stake.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
With that tent it comes with some pretty long robust pegs which were well sufficient that night. Some down socks definitely make a massive difference. I have some Primaloft ones but these are supreme👍. Thanks Bill as always
I like to use a down suit too. Because i use a quilt, i also pack a down hood.
That’s the perfect use for it with a quilt 👌👍
Hi really enjoy your videos, And after seeing you camping in extremes splashed out on a Fjällräven dome2 keb tent. So am interested to see you put it through its paces. Steve
The fjallraven tents are great quality. I’d always advise them👌
Great walk, pretty waterfall, awesome pitch location with stunning view. Nice.
Spacious storm proof tent with the double vestibule, plenty of room for a dog-bedroom and a kitchen indeed.
Regarding temps of 5°C, perhaps a decent silk liner for the sleeping bag would suffice.
Adds about 5°C and weighs about 130 grams (I'm 1.88m.)
It doesn't allow you to walk around camp comfy easily though. It's pretty hard actually. 😉.
But it's a great option to increase the comfort rating of your available sleeping bag.
Yes I think liners are great and I have a few but don’t often use them. I generally just wear leggings etc. Thanks mate👍
Top draw as always
Every evening the Post Office plane flies fairly low over Sedbergh on it's way to Carlisle. (I used to live there). I reckon that's what we heard when you were talking pants
That’s interesting mate. It was quite a strong sound running through from that plane.
It's a turboprop which always sound amazing@@BUSHMANandBLUE
Evening, have you considered carrying a UCO survival lantern, but use a bee's wax candle, they give a nice glow and a bit of warmth, enough to take the chill off, I use on both out on the hills and in my fishing bivvy.
I’ve not used one so might have a look👍. Cheers
I take it you got the tent fixed.I’m sure a zip or something went wrong with it the first time you where out in it.👍
Yes I had a new zipper put on after I bust the last one.
Really enjoyed the video, as always, a totally new place that I’ve never seen before. Great drone footage too and of course the irrepressible Blue ❤ I’ll check out the PHD gear, I’m looking for a new 3 season sleeping bag. This is not a grumble but it would be good to know if gear is a) bought by you, b) given by the manufacture, but not a sponsorship, or c) fully sponsored. I don’t mind either way, it just helps me as a viewer/gear buyer if there’s transparency. Cheers and all the best 🍻
Well just know that I only accept things that I need, will use and that I believe in. There are too many dangers out there to promote cheap rubbish kit that has a higher chance of catastrophic failure. Cheers bud👍👍👍
