Blue is such a good dog. Being a border collie he would naturally want to herd those sheep but he listens to Daddy and won’t do anything without permission. :-) love it ❤

That was a remarkable act of kindness. This world is a better place for people like you

This episode feels like it is all about life. Life once upon a time, life that once was, and life that is and is here to be enjoyed.

What amazes me on all your videos is how you get through mountains, fields, rivers and valleys under sunny skies or polar storms; all without losing your way, the trail. It is a mystery to be. I will not find my way back.

Blue is so smart..he knows exactly what to do..I bit most my nails off watching..lol..scenery was so beautiful..thanks for bringing us along!!!

Nice one Al. I was a bit worried after watching the last video of you and Blue parked up on the side of the road opposite Blea Tarn. Realise things didn't go to plan from the off on that one where no band turned up at the Old Dungeon Inn, ended up being a little drab! Back with a bang with this one though!! Excellent footage and commentary and great to see the Pikes again. Good on you pal for helping that family out too. You've got what it takes when most other people would have carried on their merry way. All the best to you and Blue. Cheers, Ozzy.

Another great video, Al. Loved the pre-historic axe factory AND thank you for helping my fellow countrymen(and women) up the pitch…

I’m a huge history fan, I subscribed to ‘History Hit’ app and listen to several history podcasts. All the ancient history in the places we go, it’s mind blowing getting to know details and how old. I was in Egypt and saw the brushstrokes and even loose brush hair on a tomb painting, and I knew that the person painting it, probably moaned about the hairs coming out the cheap brushes, just like I do 😂 That’s a lovely story about dad wanting to be laid to rest at the Pike of Stickle 😎

Great video, Al, with a word of caution for those with dogs, and of course, a poignant moment on the subject of life and mortality, and an unfettered kindness. It costs nothing, but rewards greatly for all touched by it. I'm thinking I'd like my ashes scattered atop of Pendle Hill. It was my back yard when I was a nipper back in the 60's.

Lovely video Al! Great place to camp. The bit about the family scattering their dads/husbands ashes bought a lump to my throat, probably because we've just lost my cousin. I've given my kids orders to scatter my ashes at the top of every Clough on kinder scout and a couple of my favourite camp spots.... they make out like they hate the idea....but I know they'll enjoy the hike lol.

I had a tent similar to that about thirty years ago. Used it when I was winter cycling around Europe and it's the best tent I EVER had. I think it weighed around 2kg, so still light enough, especially on the bike. It stood up well to a ten day thunderstorm on the Iberian peninsula and didn't move an inch in 70mph winds in the Austrian mountains. I only wish I could remember the manufacturer's name. I know they made stuff for Arctic expeditions but that's all I can remember. Anyway,thanks for the upload, or whatever they are called, and I look forward to watching a few more.

Good to see blue just what I needed I’m off next week now.

Absolutely love your videos (even though the majority of the time you scare the living sh*t out of me!!) and this one in particular is very touching. It's life at its best and how wonderful that that family, with your help, were able to fulfil their father/husbands last wish. Blue is the best boy in the world and isn't he a delicate eater! There's no diving in and hoovering it up. I live vicariously through you as I'm now 71 and arthritis is almost everywhere so I could never get up those mountains to experience the incredible views. It's difficult because I was always so active but at least you and Blue bring the beauty to me although some of those with the wind, rain and snow makes me very nervous! I've no idea how my heart survived watching you both navigate Sharp Edge. That was terrifying! Anyway, thank you for all you do.

Amazing pitch there Al, nice to see the star of the show back out as well 😂😉 I love Langdale and it is also my wish to be scattered off the top (but hopefully not for a while yet!) I'm with you on boots - after 20 odd years of playing rugby (badly) and then being run over (a tale for the pub.....trust me) I went fully into max support for my ankle (knackered) and knees (semi knackered) but found my issues were not getting better, and probably getting worse I did a lot of reading and watching vid's on the barefoot idea and have been wearing them in my every day life for 6 months now. They are my go to shoes for every day and light/medium hikes and I can honestly say the difference in my ankle and knee strength and posture is just amazing. I no longer go over on my ankle when walking and my foot/lower limb strength is really good now, they have been a bit of a life changer. When I wear my old stiff/supportive boots I get more foot pain than when I wear a zero drop trail shoe (which I do now) but I am looking for something for Autumn and might have a try of those mid height's. I will still wear a proper boot in winter for warmth and the ability to kick steps in snow but I am searching for a decent Autumn pair - are those a zero drop or not? I really want to keep with that as once you are used to it walking is just weird in any other shoes!!

Well Al, I've been to the Langdales for many years and never knew about the axe cave. You live and learn 👍. Great vid
