- WILD CAMPING ON THE SCAFELLS
NIGHT 1 wild camping in the summit of England’s highest Mountain Scafell Pike. Hike up from Wasdale up the gulley to Mickledoor before reaching the summit late in the evening. There is literally nowhere to pitch a tent and so I risked damaging mine pitching on the rocks.
NIGHT 2 (next video) headed to Scafell summit for another wild camp along the Lord’s Rake route.
Get outside and enjoy our world!
Be safe and leave no trace!

Excellent camp 💙love watching you and blue
My days, One man and his dog at the top of the world. Fantastic. Love the drone footage. Thanks.
Cheers man!
Or woman? Just presumed
Stunning
Until I watched your videos the closest I wanted to be to camping was the Holiday Inn. I have never seen such beauty. I live near the Appalachians in the USA. I know our vistas are much different but your videos make camping there appealing to me for the first time!
Excellent mate I’m glad you’ve down graded the holiday inn😂😂😂. You’ll have to get out and have a go👍
Great Video mate ... been up to the top a few times, but to see you camping there brought back so many happy memories. Strange how Blue seems to know where to go .... maybe he can sense the smells of other hikers.... cheers !
Thanks. Yes he probably just follows the same scent all the way. He’d definitely get me down a mountain in the fog! He’s my safety blanket.
Loved that film Al, that pitch just cracked me up.. rare to have that summit to yourself!
It was brilliant pitching there but I’d never advise it. I still don’t know how I made it work!?! It’s not as relaxed though as you know you have to be packed up before anyone gets there.
Thanks Nick.
Amazing! Canny believe you pitched your tent there and it stayed put ! Scenery just awesome too , thanks great video 😊
Thanks mate! It was a last second decision and it only just worked but I wouldn’t recommend it. A bivvy maybe but it’s so busy up there you have to get up super early so people don’t know you’re there. It’s better to be away so you can relax.
Absolutely amazing Al! Can't believe you got pitched there!👏👏👏👊Beautiful views!
It was amazing but not one I’d advise. In any wind and your tent would be off with you in it!
Thanks Al.
I find your stuff great, enjoyable.
Many years I have done the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Maine, and also Vermont plus some other North Carolina Appalachian mountains.
That moment when you get a notification for a bushman and blue vid! Happy days!
LOL! Brilliant!
I was sat on the exact same spot you were having a cuppa at 25.58 back in 1990 (if I remember the year rightly) in January. The clag was swirling about - very dynamic. I had walked all the way over from Black Sail (YHA) through the saddle between Great Gable and Green Gable eventually stopping at the Pike before dropping down to Wastewater YHA. It was something else. Wish to hell the knees could do it nowadays, but we do what we can eh? I am off on a first wild camp in years in the Hampshire downs. But keep it quiet, they get arsey about it down here in't south.
I hope you enjoyed your camp mate. Definitely get back in to camping and as you say so what you can👍👍👍
Absolutely loved it this video and thank you for sharing. Keep it up mate
Thanks mate. Nice to get the drone up!
Brilliant that mate hahaha what a pitch. Loving your vids
Once again excellent 👌
nice place, we love the nature so much! You've collected some beautiful impressions here 👍😊. we wish you a lovely weekend! Best wishes Up'n'Down-Traveling
Thank you! Yes the mountains of the Lake District are stunning! Especially on a clear day.
Great channel. I've been inspired by you and Paul to get out there. Shopping list is made :)
Oh I’m so glad! Who’s Paul? I hope to inspire others to enjoy out lovely world. I hope you get out and enjoy it!
Great stuff mate. We camped at that tarn a while back. The scene of much drunken shenanigans and a mountain rescue 🤷♂️ blue when he appeared covered in “tarn water” 😂
Classic. On to part 2 now.
Can’t believe ye pitched up there like 😂 👌
Ding Dong the witch is dead! The funniest TH-cam moment ever! It was pretty awesome being up there on the summit but I wouldn’t risk it again! Enjoy!
Epic trip mate and a nice place to pitch - good thinking there pal, will catch up with part 2 tonight - ATB dude
Thanks mate. It was beyond a squeeze but I made it work some how and better than walking down in the dark to find a pitch.
Mate, that is such a sketchy pitch 😂 nice video!
Love your content Al, getting me inspired to do the same stuff! Thankyou! (Feel like I need a 4 legged friend to come with me too lol)
Excellent! Get yourself outside 😬. Dogs can be hard work though so maybe just start with a cardboard cut out of one 😂
Been subscribed for a while now, find the content captivating, especially as you have a fantastic dog in Blue.
Would love to do a spot of wild camping myself but with four dogs my tent wouldn't really be ultralight and my set-up far from stealthy!
I wasn't prepared for your description of the flapping tent - absolutely priceless!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂 oh yeah i forgot that😂. Just take one dog at a time😉
Great vid. Dunno what made me laugh the hardest, the skeleton joke, or the fact you lost your spoon (like me) on Dollywagon. Keep em coming.
I’ll never be a comedian but I’ll I can try 😂 I edited the spoon… honestly I looked for about 10 mins and it vanished. Maybe I should be a magician instead. 😂
Great video mate, you made Scafell look better than i thought it was👍..Lords Rake looked pretty good too😁🤘
Cheers Paul. I definitely prefer Scafell to Scafell Pike especially because quieter.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Scafell certainly looks quieter, and more dynamic too😃..you did a top job with the videos mate🤘
Thanks man! I just love adventure! Filming it isn’t much more effort.
I love Blue !
good vid, keeps me going till my next one next saturday night
Enjoy your camp out!
Gosh, that's brave, on the cairn, and at the mercy of midnight early morning 3 peakers! Remember doing a 24hr survey in may and we has 500 people between the hours of 12pm anf 5am ... and to think it goes on like that through much of the summer. What size is Blues approach pack? .. I've often thought about one as the volume of dry kibble over a multi day walk is rather remarkable!
Over night no one came. Last person was 11pm and then 4.30am so didn’t get much sleep. The approach pack is awesome. This is a size small and plenty of space for two nights out of food and his sleeping mat I made him.
You've got drone shots already, great! Also, cool mug holder :)
Yes the drone was on its maiden flight. I’ll get better with it!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yes we will master the art of flying soon :)
Just knowing that you’re higher than “ Everyone” in England, is really, really cool!
Do you know who built all of the cobbled pathways? Thanks ..
Really want to go there !
Mad Bastxxd. Going up there 2mrw, it's going to be a cracking day, Seathwaite, corridor Route, Lords Rake, Scafell, Scafell Pike, Great End, wild Swim in Sprinkling Tarn then back to the motor. Can't wait.
My dream day! I wish I could join you.
Enjoy it and be safe.
Most enjoyable content and wowwww how you pitched using just rocks! Ill never be able to look at a biscuit tin without giggling again 🤣🤣
😂I’m glad you’re enjoying my channel! There is always a way to pitch your tent. Necessity is the mother of invention!!!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE We have some cracking tent pegs but not any that go thru rock 🤣🤣 After spending 4 days camping & hiking in the dark peaks this last week, our new pegs passed very highly! Big strong yellow v pegs plus we had the yellow anchors, in case we had high winds forecast but, i think the ones we used, would have held upto anything! Were 71 & 72 & only hiked mountains since June but, lost count of how many times we've clmbed! We trained on hills and 500 metre mountains for 4 months, before going up Snowdon twice in one week, at the end of July! Since then, we do at least 2 each week and this last 4 days we hiked 35 miles on 3 of them and a 6 mile walk on the first day, after pitching on camp!
Well it’s lovely to know there are some real adventurers still pounding out the mountains at your age! Totally respect to you. Keep it going my friends. 👊🏼
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Thank you! Its been a hard few months getting to where we are and i have muscles i never knew existed, popping up everywhere 🤣🤣! I missed my youth, due to being ten stone heavier but, now, I'm much more than half my old weight, I'm getting what I've missed and more and the time my hubby and kids say well done, shows me how they notice changes! I could never get through or climb styles before but now, this last few days, i'm lugging my heavy, all weather backpack, up and over the most awful dry stone styles ever imaginable and hubby just keeps saying " well done Maggi!" He's kinda scared that I'll fall because i am trying to conquer a big fear, that i've always had of falling head first, due to my dad, when i was little, coming up behind me on steep cliffs, picking me up, pushing me with his arms, until i was free hanging over the cliffs. He had a tight hold of me but it scarred me for life! Plus at 4, i was pushed head first off a big climbing frame and split my head wide open and was unconscious and carried across town by the nursery teacher in the early 50s, to the clinic, where i eventually came round!
It’s amazing how childhood trauma becomes a true scar in you. Even just the fun things still give you fears. I’m truly happy for you getting out and making the most of it! Keep going as it’s always worth it for both body and mind! A well done from me.
Love the pitch,👍
It was pretty awesome but sort of impossible but I made it happen. 🤷🏻♂️😂
Leave no trace. Then builds a cairn on most places you visit! I dunno, maybe it's just me. I don't agree with cairn building. However I'm enjoying the videos 👍. Enjoy being with your dog, in the blink of an eye they get old and can't go more than a kilometre. Enjoy every moment👍
Thanks mate I do love my dog! Re-building a cairn is positive surely. I’m sure many people will appreciate it when they climb up to it.
Bloody amazing, I'm surprised you managed to get it on ... I might try that with my Berghaus Grampian 2 it would sit on there nicely 🙂👍 ...love some of your sayings jeeeeees had me in stitches 🤣😂what drone you using and what editing software do you use ... ?
Thanks man! Not worth pitching there though. It was rough and risking tearing my tent at any point. I prefer Scafell instead!
Yes mate love it man iv been waiting all week for this
same pal
Haha I only live down the road from scarfell n Coniston he has give me the push to get out like... Just need the gear
😂 I’m glad my videos are desired! You’ll definitely have to get some kit together and get out for a camp especially if you live there!
Mate I live in Askam I can see it from my front room haha
Pick some perfect weather then you don’t need much kit and get outside!!! You’ll love it.
Epic.
It was!!!!
Nice 1 mate good effort 👍🏽
Atb
Thanks it was a decent night out. Just not enough sleep having to get the tent down so early.
Another great video thanks, cool to be (briefly) the highest man AND dog in England..I like the time lapse while you were hiking I assume you used your GoPro and what interval did you use? Two seconds?
I filmed all that on my phone. Not sure if the interval as it’s a hyper lapse. Thanks mate👍
Wast water may be the deepest lake in England but loch Morar in Scotland is 3 1/2 times deeper but the most impressive for me is the capacity of Loch Ness, it holds more fresh water than all off the Lakes and rivers in England combined with 7.3 cubic km of water.
Strangely whilst in Scotland in summer we learnt that and I was gob smacked too! Thanks Steve.
Nice vid mate. Was up there couple weeks back doing nation three peaks. Do love it up there. Tent looked like it held up well 👍
Good challenge doing the 3 peaks. I’ve been up them all a few times but not in 24 hours. Well done mate!
Thanks Steve.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE thanks very much. Ye managed it in 22 hours. Have fun on ur ventures with blue. Ile be wild camping this weekend in the peak district were I live. Cant beat being out. 😁👍
Well done! I’d run the mountains quickly but it’s the driving that can slow you down. I ran Ben Nevis last summer from the youth hostel to the summit and back in 1hr 40. But to go do the next two would be hard.
Enjoy your camp. 👍
@@BUSHMANandBLUE thanks. wow thats a right good time that. Dont know how u manage to do that fell running. Tried a bit but it's a killer. Specialy in this heat 😆
I love fell running but usually it’s only up to an hour. Last Saturday I just ran my first ultra marathon which was 38 miles off road. I only just can walk properly 😂😂😂
nice video mate. will be doing wild camping in scafell tomorrow, just wondering how many kilos your bag is?thanks and continue making these cool videos.
In summer between 6 and 12kg. Winter 12-17kg👍
Loving all the videos so far, you’re a natural it seems, what cook kit do use out of interest?
I’ve gone through it in other videos but it’s the GSI soloist I think. It’s pretty awesome but like usual slightly adapted adding a couple bits. It’s the best I’ve come across this far (for me).
Hey great video and very brave of you to trust that tent up there. I'm after one of these and wanted your thoughts if you don't mind. I've had dozens of tents over the years and probably have a dozen left lol. I was after something for the dog and myself and occasionally the wife. I just had a night in my Abisko 1 with the dog but it proved to be too small for us. Looking forward and best wishes Andy.
The view 2 is more my summer tent which you can open up and take in the view. I like it a lot but like every tents it’s not perfect. Loads of space for two though!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE super quick response much appreciated. I've just had a chat with Fjallraven and they say head or toe into the wind for this tent which I think would compromise the zipper storm flaps and let water in any experience of this or thoughts?
I’ve had no issues and wind direction often changes anyway. I just like that you can open up both sides completely.
Which Tent are you using? You may have said and i missed it, some amazing views, shame i live about 200 miles away from the Lake District
That one is the Fjallraven View 2. It’s quite expensive but I love their quality and environmental ethos. Not really light enough for backpacking and nearly twice the pack size of my Abisko lite 1 but great for summer opening it all up.
Great video by the way are you Ex Army if you don't mind me asking as it seems that way still you are a huge inspiration to me and countless others as I mainly do daily walks around Boxhill here in Surrey still keep up the fantastic work you do and thank you for giving us public superb videos
Awwwww thank you so much! ☺️. Honestly all I want to do is inspire others to get outside and feel some of the same as I feel. I have so much extra energy to give so I’m glad some of it is going to a good cause inspiring! I’m not ex Army I’ve just spent a lot of my life outside so these adventures are quite normal to me and glad I can share them. I guess I need a larger following to help more people get outside. I’m on it😬😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE you've been a huge inspiration to me to get back to what I enjoyed before I just like to thank you for your videos as I say you've inspired me more than ever to get back in to the wilderness so far I've conquered Boxhill 4 times now up n down the steep hills and with very beautiful sights to see
Brilliant! Just make sure you stop and take it all in at times. I love wild camping because I get those moments. If not I’ll run it all and then I don’t take time to appreciate where I am. Keep it up mate!!!
I enjoyed two different nights in my sleeping bag on top of Mt Whitney, highest in lower 48 US.
Even took half a dozen teenagers up there once.
Little lake at 23 min. reminds me of one on Maroon mountain in northern British Columbia, Canada. My wife was 7 months pregnant at the time :-). She broke her toe a couple weeks later. Her doctor said
"I told you don't hike".
But she broke it against a file cabinet in the house :-)
Perhaps the outdoors is safer????
😂 I think so. I did two nights camping in horrendous conditions with icy snowing long mountain scrambles with no problem then got home and slipped down the bottom 3 stairs and hurt my self😂
Decides to have just a cup of tea and not have a biscuit for fear of disturbing the tin's occupant.
Looks awesome man how hard is the walk up to scafell pike the plan is to do in July this year it will be the biggest achievement that I have ever done in my life doing Helvellyn in a few weeks for my birthday 🎂
If you’re fine on Helvellyn you’ll be fine up Scafell Pike. It’s just a bit longer. Just steady away pal👍
Those cobbles killed my hubby's feet, I beat him up It!!😁😁
Well done. It’s tough towards the top!
I was thirty years younger than I am now 😫
Great stuff as always. What drone do you have out of interest??
Just bought it so that was its maiden flight so can’t comment on it as yet but seems okay. It’s the dji mini.
Thanks Chap. Seems to be the brand of choice! Other gear to get first, so will await your review 😀
Haha… this is awesome. Did nobody come up during the night?
A group of about 10 came just before bed and I had a good laugh with them. Other than that snoring all the way😂
Would like to know what drone u had to make it fit in that rucksack iam in the process off buying many thanks bushman
It’s a pretty good drone in calm weather. DJI mini 2.
Mr bushman quality wot a pitch
It was amazing but I wouldn’t advice that at all. I’m not even sure how I did it!
Good job it wasn't a busy day or you're have been sharing that pitch with a few hundred tourists 😖😖🥴
Yes it’s always busy even at night when people are doing the three peaks.
Hi mate, How long did it take you to get from the bottom to the top of scafell pike, and how much weight were you carrying?
I marched up and took about 1 hr 20 and I usually carry between 10 and 15kg
@@BUSHMANandBLUE cheets buddy
15:05 What about all the people flying above you in planes haha
😂 it has a height limit in a safe zone!
Cheech & Chong? You're too young surely? Excellent video. "Skeleton having a w**k in a biscuit tin" - Ha Ha!
😂 I just remember watching some of their films on video. They are a funny duo.
So which tent is that? ultimate site !!
Fjallraven view 2. Not a bad one for 2 people camping in food weather👍
Hello mate,can you advise me on a drone that I could take out with me?
I don’t know much about them so can’t advise but check out DJI maybe.
I went up scafell a few years ago, why do you think there's so much scree?
Plant life struggles at higher altitudes because it’s colder causing more exposed rock with a few million years of water erosion with freeze thaw which causes scree… that’s my guess🤷🏻♂️😂😉
Im not too sure who's the biggest legend..yerself or your Dad💥💥.either way on balance of probs..... it deff be your Dad m8.👍👍💪
😂😂😂 I’d give it to him too!
you use GPS -the `git on` positioning system - dad jokes rule!
😂😂😂
Lol, a horny otter doing the backstroke? That’s a disturbing mental image 😂 great video as always!
😂 oh good I’m glad you caught that one.
👋
Cheers!
27:35 Is that Blue running along the track already?
You have either good eyes or a massive TV 😂. I think it was a lad I chatted to and explained the route to him so he went to the bottom to have a look up before he descended back to wasdale.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Just massive eyes 😂😂 Currently watching on a PC Monitor at work Shhhh ;-) Just seen something move but he was shifting so that's why I thought it was Blue 😂
😂😂😂 Just blame me if you get caught. I’ll talk to your boss and explain how work productivity increases with outdoor activities. Watching this is just preparing for your next adventure. 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE It sure is...This weekend with luck!!
Love your vids but you stirred with a knife 😱
😂 brilliant!
Sparrow legs
Too thick for me
