Striding Edge - Conquered!

Nineteen years ago, James visited the Lake District and realised that he had a debilitating fear of heights. Then in July 2022 he joined us for one of our Overcome Your Fear of Heights courses and turned all that round.

    Striding edge is easy in dry weather. The exposure isn't all that bad, and most of it can be walked over relatively easy at the crest. Even passed a young couple with their newborn baby in tow at one point. Talk about teaching them young.

    Well done, great post, and the link is really informative. Planning to ride the route this year myself, and intrigued by your choice to ride Glasgow-Inverness!?!? No one else seems to do it that way, so other than the wind direction, where there any other reasons behind this decision? Also, your choice of gravel bike is interesting. You stated that a mountain bike would be overkill, but surely with such wide tires on your bike, wasn't that just the same as a mountain bike!?!? No criticism here, just curiosity, as like I said, I'm planning to do the ride myself and haven't decided on a bike yet..haha! So obviously, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks buddy!😊👍

      Tim, really glad you've found my blog post useful. When I went over the Corrieackie Pass I was able to ride most of the way, and then pushed the bike up the zig zags with about 200m of ascent. Then ... from the top it's about 13Km of pure flowy downhill. It would have been ruined doing it the other way. As for choice of bike my MTB tyres are about 1.5 times wider than my gravel bike,and it's also about 4Kg heavier. I don't think any of it was unridable on the gravel bike and there's LOADS where you're on roads or smooth trails. A MTB would just have been a millstone round my neck. Anyway, hope you enjoy it! Will

      @@will4adventure546 Hey Will, thanks so much for your reply, and advice. I have both a mountain bike and an old gravel type bike, but the tyres I have on the latter are only 700x38c which Iv replaced recently. So they would probably be too narrow for the Badger? That would mean more new tyres for that bike, which on my limited budget would be an expense; whereas my MTB already has appropriate tyres. What are your thoughts on 38c tyres and the Badger? As I've mentioned I have limited budget, and I don't have lightweight equipment, so am a little concerned about the weight on a gravel bike!? Did you use a bike computer/nav aid? Thankyou so much for imparting your experience and advice, you don't know how much it is appreciated. Thanks Will!😊👍

      I guess that this video might make you feel uncomfortable Robert, and I get that, but as someone who knows my son (he has been climbing since the age of 2, and has completed many other grade 1 scrambles), I'd suggest that as his parent I'm not stupid. Instead I raise my children to understand and appreciate risk. They learn to recognise it, to mitigate it, and to take it. I feel strongly that we as a nation, are raising a generation of angst-ridden children who lack the confidence or self-esteem to make it through day to day life. Without risk takers in life we will be will be without the entrepreneurs, doctors, scientists and soldiers, that our society needs. More and more, people often exist in the safe mediocrity of their comfort zone, and without edging out at all, they are simply not growing. And THAT is the greater danger.

    We did this in near 10m visibility. Not advisable. We stayed on the very top for obvious reasons. I do not remember climbing down and then up that section you did near the foot off the summit. We did drop down the “chimney”, this doesn’t look like that section. We couldn’t plan ahead due to low cloud so followed some that had done it before luckily for us. I fear some of these lower paths are dangerous. The “chimney” is a straight down chute to the left. Nonetheless good effort.

    Not a good idea. The thing with kids is they stumble about and lose their footing now and then, and do careless things. They're only kids after all. I don't think it's wise to encourage kids to go up there, even if one's own kids climb like pros.

    @Super.Quasar 4 роки тому

    I’ve had Super Quasars for over 15 years and consider them to be the best 2 man tents on the market. They’re bomb-proof and spacious. The end designs mean feet will never touch the outer fabric and cause a wet sleeping bag. The pockets inside are fantastic for stowing gear, and one porch can provide storage for motorcycle boot, wet over-suits and helmets. Being a true geodesic it’s very stable and very quiet. It’s a bit heavy for one person backpacking on a long trek, but for short treks, or sharing the weight it is a great shelter. Leaving the top of the door open for ventilation has caught me out a few times with vertical dropping rain and opening from the bottom and holding with a couple of short guys works. Cooking is possible in the porch with care. It’s not seen often but with one zip undone, the porch fabric can be opened as a windbreak. Great tent, thanks for sharing.
