I always do as well so I don't forget. Every video on this channel is fantastically well presented especially with the drone footage and extremely high level of climbing / camping skills !
What an absolutely gorgeous place. The drone footage is just incredible. Happy that you and Blue are having an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing it with us. Gloria USA
The levels of engineering in Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries was the very best the world has ever seen. The first tower with the slit down the centre was almost certainly used to find levels by suspending a line down the middle, setting it and then using it as a datum to set other levels in the landscape. Just love industrial archaeology in the UK.
Hi Al and the beautiful Blue. That was an amazing find. Fire was awesome too. Love going with you on this one and Thankyou both. Stay safe😊😊😊😊 how did you find your way back to the car
Went to local picture framers and had my collie with me, guy in shop says have you heard of bushman and blue? No I hadn’t, but now working my way through your back catalogue and throughly hooked,
I live in the USA, the state of Alabama to be exact; we rarely get snow and if we do, its only about 1 - 3 inches and usually the temps go up and it melts away within a few hours. I was told from my grandparents that it once snowed 14 - 16 inches back about 1960 here in Alabama, and that it shut down everything, schools, groceries, and job places for several days . We get less and less each year, probably due to warming of the earth. When I was younger, I camped out a lot with my dogs, but as you will find out, age makes you begin to camp in the cold less and less. The lowest temps here in winter rarely ever gets below 20 degrees F. I really enjoy your camping out with Blue , an look forward to your next adventure. I am subscribed by the way!
Hod on a minute, what in the absolute cultured fingered musical nylon stringed sculdugery is going on here. Is this the intro for a landscape painting class. Have I clicked the wrong feed 🤣. .. superb mate I'm commenting and I haven't even finished the intro yet 😀 Action darlings!
I’m imagining a grizzled old man emerging from the mist, squinting at you, and saying, “Bad night to be out on the moors,” before melting back into the fog.
Just caught this as a first time viewer. What a brilliant video, I absolutely love the uniqueness of this place and would love to camp myself. I am going to subscribe and have a look at some of your other videos. Keep up the great content. Give Blue an ear scratch from me, Dave
Hi from New Zealand Al, love your videos, truly inspiring ❤️ Whenever I'm walking up a hill I try to copy your bouncy style, I pretty much fail but make myself laugh trying. And my Springer Spaniel puppy is hoping to be as awesome as Blue when he grows up. Thank you 😊
Well done on the fire! Fire just takes camping to a whole other level. That’s why I bring 250lbs of mixed Hickory, Pinon, and Red Cedar for the winter camping.
Myself and my best mate bivvied on grinlow tower (Soloman's temple) near Buxton in February a few years ago, we actually camped on the top viewing platform because the wind in the lower section was like a tornado lol we had a fire log which we kept contained and disposed of the mess the next day, it was an exciting camp. Great video as usual👍🏻
Did have a previous favourite backpacking/camping channel until I discovered Bushman and Blue love all your content have watched nearly all of your videos now love it how no matter what nature throws at you and blue your both still positive and always smiling. You are a lot like myself love the extreme conditions best time to go out
Perfect, blooming perfect.! Absolutely fascinating, to think that the place on the moor ,in the hills by the res, was actually a place of work.!!. Brilliant place re_used many years later Thank's Blue for taking Alan on this historical adventure . ATVB 2U and Alan. Scott Somerset
Wanted to write a really eloquent comment on this amazing video, because WOW! doesn't seem to do the job. Loved the camera work with the drone. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Actually, it might be a good thing that the beautiful tower is hard to access, so people don't ruin such a beautiful structure. Some of the landscape was kind of eerie, though. I wouldn't have wanted to turn my back on some of those trees.
😂 the trees definitely were strange. I should have filmed a few more that I saw that were really weird! Thank you though. I’m glad you appreciated this mini adventure. 😊
I really think your channel could grow this up coming winter! You have the best winter videos where you get into problems and that’s what viewers on UA-cam like!
Concerned to see you making your way through the bracken always understood brecken to be a cancer risk because of the ptaquiloside it contains maybe it isn't active in the winter.
Cheers Paul. It ended up being one of my favourite adventures even though quite simple. Quite a magical forgotten place. If I owned it I’d turn it into a bothy 👌👍
It will slowly build it’s just getting seen. I need everyone to share my channel and tell their friends 😬. Thanks for voting for though massively appreciated 👊
I know this place well, used spend a lot of time up there when I was young not a long walk from reservoir. It's owed by swinton estate, if look round well there's remains of the railway line.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE If you go higher up, there is a green lane track, also there should be a water fall not sure if you found that. Just be careful like I say it's owned by swinton estate and they will be shooting at this time of year.
That tower was a really cool place to camp. Loved the little fireplace, it really made the place work. Couple of windows and a door, a little furniture, and bang, you’ve got yourself a cozy retreat! Of course, that was if you owned it. Still, a nice place to visit once in a while. That’s why I love your videos. The places you go and the things you do. Another great one 👍. Thanks!
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Being it’s kind of isolated, you might be able to fix it up a little. Maybe some sort of window covers and a door of some sort. Anything is possible.
What a lovely dawg! Awesome eys! Brought back memories of my beautiful Dobie girl, Lady. We used to have fun camping and at the rnage and all over the place. Brought a tear to my eye.
That Folly you spent the night is was incredible. Not a lot of write up on its specific history online sadly, whoever built it did some incredibly good dry brickwork on a really well done foundation.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Agreed for sure. Now that first tower, that one is for sure a Grade 2 Listed structure, but this one I didn't see any information on the English Heritage web site for status (but I am no expert on navigating their information). If it isn't it should be!
Hi Allen nice drone shots the tower had me scanning it for details the tower is very nice as shell a blizzard be a good test of plenty of brush to cover window collect plenty wood use it as chum place your tent inside nice plenty room for you blue nice history oh how to turn it into snow shelter wrap a tarp around it cut wind out once that stone heats place is warm excellent find
Maybe a controversial point. In my opinion your best ever film and can't stop watching it! Of course I love the mountain stuff, don't stop, but this has so so much content. Those structures are amazing as was the drone footage. Absolutely love the humour in this too. Pure class this one, ta.
I would love to visit there, I have traced my family name back to there in the 1600s Thomas Gabriel Branham. Somewhere around Yorkshire West Riding, England, United Kingdom
Great to see you light that fire in the lost fireplace. Wonderful drone footage through the tower too, totally unexpected when starting from a reservoir. Good you both escaped from the pea soup bracken in one piece! 😋
Interesting adventure, really enjoyed the drone footage (as always) and the fire / overnight in the tower. Looking forward to the design and make project!
Ahh I love you two, love yours and Blues adventures it really brightens my day. Your bond is so special. Keep doing what you're doing. My husband and I love watching you both, so inspiring we love the great outdoors. You're inspiring us to bit camping, bit older than you, think we're going to give it a try. Been looking at tents tonight thanks for the inspiration 🥰❤️
You do have such an amazing friend in Blue. The love sparkles in his eyes. Your Country side is stunning as is your drone footage. Awesome that yobos are too lazy to go hiking. 😂. Horrible seeing these beautiful structures get graffitied and worse. Love your content.
Lovely film, as always Al. I really like the grey misty shots (I must be slightly unhinged!). Beautiful drone footage and music to accompany it. Looking forward to hearing more about your project too. Have a lovely week, liz
Another lovely video with great drone footage and interesting details. I had to go on tangents and look up 'Bushwhacker', an Australian comic from the late fifties (not the later Marvel one) I instantly remembered and ofcourse the Arngill Tower.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE So You look like a big skateboard with a sail on it, do You? I'd never thought. I'm just kidding. But Brackenwhacker doesn't sound bad either.
Strangely in all my time of outdoor adventure and a few summers of grouse beating as a kid I have never had a tick! I once saw a couple crawling on my leg when I was doing a mountain bike tour in the French mountains but that is it. Blue occasionally gets one.
Really nice video, great footage and an interesting adventure. I can empathise with the type 2 bracken bashing fun. There is loads of it over where I live, really hard work getting anywhere off the path. Its harder than walking uphill 🙂
Loved this one. What a high class both y that would make!once walked through a field of rapeseed to reach a small lake thought i had walked 10miles nightmare😂
Very interesting and enjoyable 👍 Talking about old structures,have you ever been to Thornborough Henge nr Ripon. It's only about 5 thousand years old and you can still see stone covered in limewash or whatever white "paint" they used. There are three circles set out to mirror the belt of Orion,like the Giza pyramids.
Got my tent for my trip to the lake district later this month. Its the regatta montegra 2 person backpacking tent. I think it's the same as what u have used. That's what I based it on anyway. Will let you know how it goes. My partner moved to the UK a few months back. I will be joining her next year. She took the dogs but I csnt wait to bring my kacie with me. Just me and her as man and dog, best friends exploring the beauty of nature
@@BUSHMANandBLUE yes lol, I'd love to do the cairngorms walks etc i live about an hour away from there . Plenty trails in Scotland west highland way is one id like to try.
Loved that video I need to catch up with your adventures I lost my collie dog last October & just adopted another collie in August he was originally called bilbo by the Irish shelter he came from but that just didn't roll off the tongue very well so being as he's got one blue eye I've renamed him blue so taken up a lot of spare time training him. Need a weekend bushman & blue binge 😊
Awesome video what a location magnificent structures some brilliant stonework around these Water Authorities places. Anyhow all the best Cheers Take Care. Blue likes the fireside Brilliant BK
wonderful, every aspect of this was wonderful. ps. you should have a look at the dji avata drone, its endorsed by all fpv drone pilots as good enough for anybody to fly without training or even practise.
Wow really cool one that AL, I bet that tower is pretty much inaccessible in summer with the bracken, it was high enough still now, it would be tick city in there too 🙈. The tower was class and loved you being able to have a fire, is there any better feeling than sat in front of a fire ☺️. My old mate blue was class act as always. Keep em coming pal 🤙
Cheers Si 👊. It was quite a special place having a fire place too. I really enjoyed it especially because it was unexpected staying in there. Saved drying my tent out😂
That was a bit different Al and I approve. Bloody brilliant night out that matey. Fantastic flying aswell you big show off going through doors etc🤣. Stunning footage pal. I noticed how low the reservoirs were going over the m62 , Booth wood and Scammondon. Keep up the good work fella . Take care Al and look forward to the next adventure.
Superb Al I forgot how good your editing was great video I new you was going to take the drone through those gaps in the tower 😅I said wow 😯 out loud cracking spot to with a fire 🔥 place too

@@RootsLion yes I think it needs saving. I might have a word with the land owner and see.
hi allen just watching yr video sitting at fire it looks absolutely beautiful ❤
That landscape looks so different from my home. Wild, yet manicured.
Am i the only one that clicks like even before watching it because i know it's going to be amazing?
Me too because we know he will deserve it :)
I always do as well so I don't forget. Every video on this channel is fantastically well presented especially with the drone footage and extremely high level of climbing / camping skills !

By the way, you are very tough; I have never had to endure the severe cold an wind that you do on the mountains.
Thank you Terry. I don’t feel we get as much snow here as we did when we were kids. I love getting out and camping in the snow. It’s my favourite 😬

Yes I love surprises like that. Worked out perfectly 👍
Really enjoyed this one Al, great film. That looked like a tough walk out!! 😃👍🏻
Cheers Nick. 👊
What is it about an open fire that is just so satisfying. Love all your videos etc and Blue is just adorable.
I was brought up with fires every night so I just love them😊
Awesome, thanks Al. Really interesting place. Great drone piloting! I actually ducked when you went through the second window!
I would love to visit there, I have traced my family name back to there in the 1600s Thomas Gabriel Branham. Somewhere around Yorkshire West Riding, England, United Kingdom
My mum has fond similar. Always interesting 😬
What a fantastic place to camp!
Little carpet and a couple of nice curtains boom home sweet home ! 😄👌 beautiful country side and beautiful filming and music , good job ! 👍
Literally that is it! Simple but who needs more😉👍

Simple but interesting 👍👍👍
Great to see you light that fire in the lost fireplace. Wonderful drone footage through the tower too, totally unexpected when starting from a reservoir. Good you both escaped from the pea soup bracken in one piece! 😋
Thanks Mike. It was lovely having that fire. A real home from home.
Fun little hike Al. The little building you stayed in reminded me of a giant Rook from the game of chess lol. Be safe my friend ✌️
😂 wow it actually is👍
I've never wanted a fire to light more in my whole life 🤣
It was perfect on that grey day👌😂
Brilliant video, scenery, history, engineering you n blue! It's got it all 👍🙂
Thanks bud. I like exploring these forgotten places. 😬
Interesting adventure, really enjoyed the drone footage (as always) and the fire / overnight in the tower. Looking forward to the design and make project!
Thanks Liz. I’m going to get back to making some cool stuff😬
Superb video Al, very interesting, great place to camp as well. It looked super snug for you and Blue once the fire was going.
Fires always help😬. It was ace😉

Another great video Al always a pleasure to watch and what an absolutely amazing place you found keep up the great work 🧡🧡🧡🏕️
Excellent video work! Fascinating history of the area.
Thanks Bill. Loads of history in the area👌
The drone footage with that music is truly beautiful :)
Thanks. There isn’t much choice in music off UA-cam but I try make it work. 👍
Hi Al &Blue .. I Love all your uploads. All 10.out 10 . But this one was a 10 pluss Loved it . All the best from Tommy Yorkshire 🤗👍
Wow thank you Tommy boy. Greatly appreciated. I really enjoyed this one 😬
Another lovely video with great drone footage and interesting details. I had to go on tangents and look up 'Bushwhacker', an Australian comic from the late fifties (not the later Marvel one) I instantly remembered and ofcourse the Arngill Tower.
I’ve been nicknamed Bush Whacker at times over the years 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE
So You look like a big skateboard with a sail on it, do You? I'd never thought.

But Brackenwhacker doesn't sound bad either.
Hope that you checked Blue and yourself for ticks after going through the gorse n heather.

Really nice video, great footage and an interesting adventure. I can empathise with the type 2 bracken bashing fun. There is loads of it over where I live, really hard work getting anywhere off the path. Its harder than walking uphill 🙂
Thanks bud. Definitely tough going especially in the rain but always love the adventure 😬
Great adventure Al, they certainly knew how to build in those days. Watched video in front of a fire with a cuppa tea, sadly no hobnobs.
Easy adventure but into the unknown with the second tower which makes it a proper adventure 😬
Absolutely love your videos thank you 👍👍
Amazing countryside and what a great place to overnight. Very nice.
Loved this one. What a high class both y that would make!once walked through a field of rapeseed to reach a small lake thought i had walked 10miles nightmare😂
It would be an amazing bothy. I think more bothys should be made for people to use👍
Very interesting and enjoyable 👍
Talking about old structures,have you ever been to Thornborough Henge nr Ripon.
It's only about 5 thousand years old and you can still see stone covered in limewash or whatever white "paint" they used.
There are three circles set out to mirror the belt of Orion,like the Giza pyramids.
Interesting! I might have to have a look. Thanks buddy 👍👍👍
Cracking little hide away! Like your own country lodge (minus the windows and doors). Hate bracken though 😆
I need to go back and fit some windows 😬😂

What a little gem that tower is
Got my tent for my trip to the lake district later this month. Its the regatta montegra 2 person backpacking tent. I think it's the same as what u have used. That's what I based it on anyway.

Drone footage!! Unbelievable al! Engrossed! Another cracking video mate! ATB
Cheers Mark. It was a good adventure albeit a simple one. There is loads of interesting stuff out there that we never see.
As soon as I seen the fire place in the tower I thought please please have a fire , so glad you did 👍
It worked perfectly and was a pleasure to appreciate it fully that evening😊
Arnagill Tower - I went there many years ago when I lived nearby. I'm now in Western Australia and enjoying the video. Cheers.
Enjoying some better wether over there😉👍
An outstanding piece of work. A joy to watch.
Don’t care what the history books say… that first tower near Roundhill is a Stargate!
😂 it’s pretty cool for definite and film worthy.
Loved that video I need to catch up with your adventures I lost my collie dog last October & just adopted another collie in August he was originally called bilbo by the Irish shelter he came from but that just didn't roll off the tongue very well so being as he's got one blue eye I've renamed him blue so taken up a lot of spare time training him. Need a weekend bushman & blue binge 😊
Oh lovely! I’m sure you miss your old dog but Blue will keep you entertained 😬👍
Tremendous video (as per usual). Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Thanks BK. There are some hidden gems that are never really seen. I’ll have to show some more😉
I do every timed❤❤
You flew that drone like rhe red Baron through that tower 😆
😂 I’m getting better😬
Nice stone dam. Blue is a all around athlete, hahaha
😂he definitely is
wonderful, every aspect of this was wonderful. ps. you should have a look at the dji avata drone, its endorsed by all fpv drone pilots as good enough for anybody to fly without training or even practise.
Thanks buddy 👍👍👍
Wow really cool one that AL, I bet that tower is pretty much inaccessible in summer with the bracken, it was high enough still now, it would be tick city in there too 🙈. The tower was class and loved you being able to have a fire, is there any better feeling than sat in front of a fire ☺️.
My old mate blue was class act as always.
Keep em coming pal 🤙
Cheers Si 👊. It was quite a special place having a fire place too. I really enjoyed it especially because it was unexpected staying in there. Saved drying my tent out😂
Just watched it amazing vid the drone flying was top gun worthy. And the landscape in Autumn was superb fantastic mini adventure 👍😁
😂 if only. I love too gun and the new one is awesome too
@@BUSHMANandBLUE is it i darent watch it cuz i thought it wud ruin it but ill give it a watch now thanks MAVERICK ✈️😆
That was a bit different Al and I approve. Bloody brilliant night out that matey. Fantastic flying aswell you big show off going through doors etc🤣. Stunning footage pal. I noticed how low the reservoirs were going over the m62 , Booth wood and Scammondon. Keep up the good work fella . Take care Al and look forward to the next adventure.
😂 The drone definitely gets tested. Even with all this rain the reservoirs are all still really low.
Your drone skills are amazing!
I try although I have crashed it a couple times😂
Amazing vid, Great place to camp, thanks for taking us to places i can only dream of visiting in my old age, Blu is just the best
Most will never have seen that place as it’s forgotten about so nice to show it 👍👍👍
Simply brilliant as always. Soon as I saw the tower and fireplace i knew that was the 1 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 love it.
Cheers bud. It was pretty cool staying in there and very much unexpected. I thought it would be a dirty ruin. Just nice to be out as always 👊
@@BUSHMANandBLUE just goes to show plenty of gems in the most unlikely places 👌🏼
Interesting camp that one mate, always good to find some different places that have long been forgotten about. 👍👍
Cheers Kev mate👍. I’ll have to find some more
