- WINTER CAMPING ON FAIRFIELD
A special day out in the sunny mountains although the wind definitely takes It out of you. Pitched up on a cliff edge to try get out of the wind but until 9pm suffered. After that It was perfection with not a breath enjoying the morning views down the valley. Definitely my happy place 😬
Enjoy
Al and Blue

Ah that's me Sunday afternoon teatime sorted. Feet up, warm fire, cheese and pickle sarnies, pot of tea and a chocolate eclair for after .... all watching my favourite man and his dog off on their adventures! 😃
😂 you might need the fire as it’s a cold one
Sounds great!
You lucky bugger. If I even look at a cake, i put weight back on 😬
I know wouldn’t kick him outta bed for farting 😂😂😂
I'm fast getting engrossed with having a cuppa, making my stir fry, with the stories of these 2 on the go.
Subbed and belled guys and gals... 😊
That clip of Blue on the ridge 🤗 Simply stunning.
He’s a good model 😎
First time I've seen you use trekking poles 🙂 I couldn't go anywhere without mine ...
Yes I got them for ultra running really but they are great in slippy conditions too👌
I apologise i spoke too soon, i was so excited to see the video that i commented before i watched to the end where i see you obviously have a new drone. And how beautiful the footage is. Wonderful video
This is always a 'Happy Place' for us mate. Stunning views of the scenery and you both. Bet that stillness in the morning felt amazing after a gusty one.
Awwww that’s nice 😊. The morning was pretty special 😬
Stunning scenery. Said it before, your filming/ editing looks to me of a very high quality. Cheers Al and TBB 🐐 🐶 ❤️
I’m learning all the time as I started as a complete novice. I enjoy making vids though😬. Thanks.
Yay. Brilliant timing for a video on a lazy Sunday.
Thank you both!
Just beautiful 🏔️
Great camp Al. Your patience and tolerance with the severe wind paid off. Those views in the morning were incredible. What a reward. No wonder you didn’t want to leave in the morning. You make it look easy, when we all know, it really isn’t. Brilliant video.
I really didn’t want to leave. I kept procrastinating to keep me there 😂
Çok güzel, harika bir video olmuş. ❤
Another awesome video and adventure my friend! Those views from the tent were absolutely epic! Sure doesn't get much better than being in the wild 👍 Thanks as always for sharing the experience mate! Cheers.....
Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Definitely epic days in the mountains😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Absolutely 100% brother. Certainly doesn't get much better than that man 👍
Hello brother, we watch your videos with love and appreciation, you make very good videos, we wish you continued success Greetings from Turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Fantastic! How clear was that, colours are so vivid. Felt like I was there, could even feel the cold. 😂 Excellent again Al.
Thanks for joining me mate. It was one of my most favourite camps😬
Great video and nature 👍🙂
Was a bit scared to how close you were to the edge of that cliff, but you survived and what a beautiful day, with stunning views. Blue as always was gorgeous, nothing beats the companionship of a well trained dog, wouldn't be without mine.
Dogs are ace! Well trained dogs are ace and easier😉👍
Yet another beauty video Allen and Blue, thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and route choice. Solid work boys 💪👏
It was bliss mate! One of those days 😬😬😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUE amazing mate 👌👌👌
Great Al, just love it! Makes me want to get straight out there! This bloody work business gets right in the way of play time! Very inconvenient 😂 Love to Blue ❤
😂 yes work sucks. Whoever invented a 2 day weekend wants to have a word with themselves 😂
Your filming and the snow make the views of the fells even more stunning than usual.
Keep an eye on that drone.
😂 it was pretty special up there that day.
Thank you so much for showing, dear Allan and beautiful Blue! Viola from Germany
❤️Love seeing your videos come up! Keep doing what you do best, and we'll all live vicariously through your adventures.... 🙏❤️ From New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
😬 I best keep making them then😉
@@BUSHMANandBLUE NO arguments here! Lol
👍👏
I always enjoy watching your adventure! Thanks! 🤩
Cheers Al…. Another top Vlog…. Still the best by far, did my first descent hike yesterday up Kinder Scout first outing in just over 3 years and the knee held up to the days hike … great result …. This year I’ll be back back packing and up in the lakes
Brilliant mate👊. Hopefully your knee holds up. Just don’t overdo it so you can keep adventuring.
Pure awesomeness with that morning… Thank you for sharing this video.
superb adventure as always.. Well done to you both..👍
what a mood raiser to watch on monday moning, cheers Al and Blue.
Your winter camps are incredible….it’s almost as if you’re in the Himalaya’s.
Wow what beautiful scenery 😊 Once again another fantastic video.. Thanks for sharing ☺️
I almost didn't watch because I thought Solo meant no Blue. Love watching your adventures with Blue. I have a Jack Russell. He does NOT do well off leash as he can always find something he NEEDS to chase.
😂 you can’t change instinct in a dog. Jack Russells love it too👍👍👍
Lake District at its best!!another cracking video. Thank you for sharing with us all. Liz 🏃🏻♀️and Coco 🐶
wow what an awesome camp , the views are epic 👏
The scenery!!! Love it!!!
Nice one Al. Gorgeous views with the drone. You have had good use out of that tent. And lovely sunshine in the morning.
Wow what a place , cracking footage and editing . Thanks for sharing your epic adventures again 👍
I always enjoy watching you. Always fun and exciting….. always windy. You take care and God Bless you and Blue. 🙋🏻♀️
Awesome Al.
Another stunning vid totally loved it.
Cheers Graham
Wonderful video as usual AL! Thank you for being you!
😊 thanks
Heyup Bushman. Once again your video amazes me. It's almost comical now to me when you are camped in these gale-situations and it looks like the tent is about to collapse! However, it never does and you never seem really phased by it. With a smile on your face and a glass half full attitude, you continue to do all the things in the LD that I'm envious of. Absolutely splendid Sir. Oh, and what a fantastic dog is Blue! I watch several of these outdoor camping vidoes and I take my hat off to all those that do it. However, yours is the best by a country mile! When are you getting on TV?! NB: That drone footage was absolute class, never really appreciated it until now!
Thanks Geoff for your kind words. I’m just trying to enjoy my life as much as I can. Camping is definitely a happy thing for me to do😬. TV would be funny😂
Just beautiful as always. ❤
The view from st Sunday crag looking over towards helvellyn is just something else in the snow aswell 😍😍😍
Waow, what a reward for enduring the winds from the night before. Stunning!
Another amazing video al n blue love watching your adventures thanks for doing what you do and aways look forward to the next one 🧡💪💪🧡
Easily the best styled outdoor channel on UA-cam. You and Blue always look a hundred percent 👍
Thanks 👍. I’m trying 😬
Wonderful. A few planes racing in the blue sky.😎
Lovely stroll in the Lake Dis. hills Al. LoL! A bit nippy for me mate. Cheers , & keep on adventuring you two.
Wonderful views. Hard to believe you are in the UK. Looking forward to the next Al and Blue adventure.
I absolutely love your crazy wind videos. Can’t get enough of them. What a treat to watch, especially Sunday evening with a roaring fire on. Brilliant. Looking forward to more and more.
Thanks Lee. I just want a calm night😂😂😂
Love the video , bright blue sky and fresh air on top the mountain s very inspirational and warm felt to watch thanks x
It was perfect and much needed after some recent stormy camps. Thanks 😊
Fantastic views absolutely stunning
One of the best yet 👌👍
It’s the dogs that make these videos for me. Blue and Boomer.
Thanks Al, another cracking video 🐶 🏔️ ⛺️
The absolute best British wild camping channel I've come across. I really want to start wild camping myself, I've got a bit of kit together, and needed that extra little bit of encouragement. You and especially blue, have given me that 😎👍
Excellent! Just plan for some warmer weather camps as it’s a lot easier and safer. 👍👍👍
Cracking vid mate. Walked those fells lots many moon’s ago. Making me quite envious of a glorious chilly winters day in Cumbria whilst I’m slow melting in a Queensland summer.
Beautiful!
Another windy adventure lol always beautiful Al. The best thing there was nobody else around just you n Blue. Be safe my friend ✌️
Yes I only saw a few people all day. Beautiful place to spend the night😬
Brilliant as usual 👏
Great video! I’m enjoying your adventures and walks I love ❤️ the scenery mountains 🏔 and snow thank you 🙏 for sharing!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos😬. I love being out there feeling it all and increasing my happiness 👍
Stunning light and colours!! How lucky we all are having this environment 👏🏻😎
Definitely! So much to see out there 👌
I love your videos. Brilliant .cant wait for some more sea kayak trips.when the weather gets better
Me too😉
Great video Al 👌🏻
You’re still inspiring me to get out my door and enjoy our wonderful planet.
😊 I’m glad mate! Keep getting out there.
When cooking your noodles take a chicken cup a soup. Chuck it in and it's a taste sensation! Once you try it you will never go back to just noodles
Sounds good! 😬
Brilliant as ever!!!
Love it al when it’s a bit rough for you helps me sleep thinking about it selfish I know hay ho great vid mate cheers
What an absolute belting video, it looks amazing from St Sunday cragg snowy mountains one way and green mountains the other 😲😲👊 Thanks Al 💙
It was pretty special up there and I loved every min😬. Thanks bud
That was a smashing hike and camp All. Thank you. We finally got well enough to have a 7 mile hike up and around the Roaches and Gradbach on Friday and a local 5 miler yesterday. Hoping for another hike tomorrow, too. Lovely getting out again after being ill. 👌
Oh good make the most of the weather. Thanks 👍
@BUSHMAN and BLUE we are. Our first hike last week was a wonderful -5 in snow-covered Gradbach. Amazing adventure.
Nice one Al..blue .great watch as usual..watching blue makes me realise how much I miss my little dog Annie and all the times we spent together great memories..👍🏼👍🏼
They are so lovely companions and I’m sure you do miss her😊
Great video, realy inspiring, just makes me want to get out in the mountains. Do well to get all the kit in that bag! Keep the content coming.
It’s an art form picking that bag😂. Thanks James👍
Stunning. I’m hoping to head up there this weekend. Love all of your videos. Truly inspired me to get out with the tent. Keep them coming 👍👍
Good stuff buddy 👊. Definitely get back out there
So glad you’re back on your feet! Covid took me out for two full weeks last summer and I understand exactly what you’ve been through. Your words of wisdom also rung so true. ❤ Totally enjoyed the video! Just stunning. As always, thank you and the stunningly, beautiful Blue. Much love from Montréal, Canada!
Thanks Annie. I’m definitely feeling better now so enjoying being out again 😬
Wonderful view 👍🏼
I’m loving the music your using lately, great filming as usual, love that you put your jacket over Blue ….dear of im ✌️
Yah very nice dog 🐕🎉
He is a lovely dog and my best friend. 🥰
The look on your face when the gales were battering the tent was a picture.
Great content again, cheers Al and Blue
It was pretty wild. I’m not even sure the video showed it that well😂
Fantastic as ever Al. Need to revisit St Sunday when I can see something 😀
Yet another great adventure mate 👍
thanks for posting
You always provide us with some amazing adventures. Apart from the wind you had some fabulous weather to show of the Lake District. Hope the park run went well the other weekend. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thanks Barry. You’re the guy I met at the car? If so I loved my Eccles cake 👌 thank you.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yes I was just sorry I didn't have something more rewarding to offer. It was a pleasure to meet you. Seen a notice at National Trust car park at the Langdales inviting motor homes to park over night and that wild campers are welcome to leave their cars. Wild campers are expected to be above 1600 feet. So good to see NT doing this might apply to all their car parks.
Very interesting 👌. Great chatting to you too mate👍👍👍
Wow that wind is relentless. Your very brave to pitch your tent so close to the edge of the mountain. Take care.
It was a constant drain but the c,ear views made up for it😬😬😬
Absolutely amazing video as always! Really love watching all your videos! You always make them entertaining and exciting to watch and I always look forward to every new upload you do on here! Hopefully one day our paths will cross and we get to meet as your a sound dude and Blue is also just absolutely amazing too! I’ve never seen a dog so agile and able to take on the those missions on the mountains with ease! You both take care and best wishes to you and your lovely family! Say hi to everyone from me and I look forward to seeing some more amazing content throughout the coming months! Thanks once again dude! ❤😂😊😮
Thanks you for your kind words😊. We will keep getting out and making the vids so you’ll always have one to look forward to 😬👍
That was like being in a hurricane in the middle of winter! Just watching from this distance made me think fond thoughts of a crackling fire and a hot cup of tea. But seeing those views, even if they were just on a screen, started to unwind that snarled ball of stress in the middle of the chest that I think a lot of people carry around with them daily. Being out like that is really the best medicine, isn't it? Thank you for sharing it all with us.
Agra any people message to say that my videos (even in a storm) calm them down. This camp out was one of my favourites though with the views and sunshine😬. Thanks Jan
I lov your vodeo
Brilliant Al. I am up in the Lakes in a couple of weeks and will try and take in St Sunday Crag; hopefully with a little snow if there is any left. Can't wait for the next one and abroad adventures sound exciting too!
Great place to walk but like all mountains a long slog up. Enjoy your break in the lakes👍👍👍
Fantastic video Blue, nice to let Al appear in it lol. Serious, great video mate. I love every one of yours.
😂thanks mate
Another great camp Al and stunning backdrop. I love that snow on the ranges. Never camped in it but I will one day when I get a 4season bag. As always, brilliant footage and very inspirational to get people out there and enjoy our stunning outdoors. That drone footage aswell, bloody brilliant mate. It's that still the mighty mini 2. Keep up the good work both and take care
It’s a new mini 2 but it’s getting some good footage😬. Thank Andy as always. Oh and get that 4 season bag in the sales 👍
Koka noodles, cant beat them! Soba are nice too. Absolutely fantastic video, as usual 😊 🍺 🍻
Had three days off work ... needed some chill time so watched numerous of your (and Blue) videos back-to-back! Best indoor entertainment ever ! Thank you so much ... keep them coming! Subscribe and "thumbs up" EVERY video folks ....
😂😂😂 thanks. You’ll get bored of my waffle 😂😂😂
I really do enjoy watching your channel and adventures. Especially how Blue enjoys what ever the weather. You are very caring for your dog.
The chance of me being able to do what you do is highly unlikely with my joints.
Please keep bringing these videos, that are so breathtaking, especially this one with the drone views of the mountains. Till the next enjoyable adventure.
Thanks mate. I do love giving Blue a good life full of adventure 👍👍
Brilliant video as ever. As an ex-pat I miss the old stomping grounds but you and blue allow me to enjoy these places vicariously, between visits to the UK.
A bit of advice for snow melting: start of with a small amount in the pot (I usually keep half a splash of water in my bottle), bring it to boiling point and then start dropping snow balls in (allowing each to melt in turn) until you have the desired amount. It's a much more efficient way, you'll save a ton of gas . I also fill a plastic bag or pack liner with snow to keep in the tent. Happy trails Al.
I’d love to do a side by side test to see the most efficient way. Definitely interesting mate👍👍👍
When you stand and say that’s striding edge over there and helvellyn, on screen it just looks like a little hill. It’s only when you’re actually climbing them the true size and terrain can be appreciated…. It fascinates me! The videos and photography are just stunning and the landscape looked like from another planet. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this escapade, love watching you and Blue on your adventures 💙
The mountains look so different from all the different angles. Striding edge is definitely one that looks a breeze from a distance 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE I know! Until I watched you and Blue on it 😂😂😅sheesh!
Brilliant 👏
Can’t beat some comfort food while in a tent being battered by the weather. Eccles cakes for me.
Stunning video Al, I was lucky enough to be up Fairfield a couple of weeks ago and experienced some of the best views I’ve seen
Yes it’s a fantastic walk. Worth taking advantage if that weather👌
I adore your videos with Blue , I'm a Geordie watching from Egypt
😂 a long way from home
Hi. GREAT. CAMPING.
Seems freezing up there, keep up the content👍
Te felicito cuidate mucho sos muy valiente cuida a tu hermoso perro 😘 sos genial me encanta verte feliz difrutar de la vida de la naturaleza me encanta la nieve bendiciones 🙏🙏🙏❤️ desde argentina marqueza te saluda
Thank you🥰
At last something decent to watch on UA-cam as usual great video
Thanks mate I’m glad you enjoyed it👍👍👍
Great vid Al, awesome pitch. I would get out of tent to use bathroom forget where i was and roll down the hill in middle of night 😂. I was up Hart Crag / Dove Crag on Thursday snow had gone by then but still Baltic in wind. Spent awhile scrambling around looking for Priests hole cave. Never found it :)
Not a place for a few beers 😂😂😂
Stunning views Al, sat watching the video in my campervan in my woodland green Bushman hoodie! I've never been to the lake district, but I can't help wondering how the names of some of those peaks came about! Thanks again for the great content and the awesome merch!
I’m glad you like the merch 👊. Yes there are some funny names like dollywagon pike🤷🏻♂️😂.
Al you love and high wind pitch don’t you 😂 another sleepless night no doubt. Well done great vid again. 👏👏
The wind stopped so I slept well😬😬😬
