I am Allen’s Mum and just want to say I never get bored of watching his videos. Where he got the knack of video making I shall never know but he works so hard making them I just wish more people would appreciate his skills. He was taught from a very young age to keep all his sweet papers etc in his pockets. At least he took that rule to heart and I am very happy that he is keeping the mountains tidy for everyone to enjoy. So parents do the same with your children start from a very early age and it will stick with them too. ❤

You've created a new force for life and diligence. Allen's is an unstoppable force for good. But what is so wonderful is, he is a living walking talking reminder of the importance of following a course of decency and care for people and places. Well done to you and his dad for turning him out and giving us all a sense that not all the world is falling apart.

Hi Margaret. It's lovely to read your comment after spending so much time chatting with you back in July. Alan's last video showed him lugging a tent and other gear off a mountain, before that he cleaned up Ben nevis' summit shelter, ive seen him untie a balloon off a fence one time and now this 😢. It angers and saddens me that we are in a society now where people behave like this, there are no words really to express it without properly swearing. My theory is they haven't been brought up with morals and respect like Alan and instead they have clearly been dragged up and are so self centered they don't care about anything but themselves so if they spoil the mountain for others, who cares, they're not gonna go back, they were there just on a day trip and won't return so litter won't effect them. Credit lies with Al of course for clearing up other people's crap but a lot lies with you and his father for bringing him up to be that way so thank you. I certainly appreciate his work because without his videos I wouldn't have seen the summit of scafell pike or other places he's been to, I'd still be sat at home. ❤

Blue is such a good boy bless him 🥰

Happy belated 8th birthday to Bluey dog

Remember having a go a walking up scafell pike years ago ...with my two nieces who were sat on some rocks crying cos it was too hard 🤣 we did eventually make it by ' zigzagging! Happy days 🥰

Very lovely and the tent ⛺️

Wonderful! I am the same with storms. Ever since I was little, I absolutely love being out in the rain/wind/thunder. Something so magical and wondorous!

You've inspired me to get out hiking this year. I've walked miles and miles through Eryri, but with summer over and winter on its way I want to make sure I'm prepared for the wet and cold so I can carry on enjoying my walks with Jess my Collie. Knowing what to buy on a very tight budget is a nightmare. All the stuff that looks good is very expensive, but I don't want to go too cheap and be wet and cold. I'm not an overnighter, I usually get up at the crack of dawn and do a 4-8 hour hike. I won't be going out in extreme weather or in snow and ice. I've got decent waterproof boots. So I'm guessing gloves, waterproof pants and coat with a warm jacket is the way to go for the paths peaks of Eryri.

Another great vid Allen. 👏

Local here. If you're a confident night walker, by far the best time to summit the Pike is at sunset. Great views to the Isle of Man, and you rarely have to share the experience. Do be a bit careful about the traverse from Esk Hause in winter - at times the (very extensive) boulder fields get covered in verglas. They are treacherous without spikes and tiring with them. Not very fun.

I love your wee adventures with Blue and i love the fact that you have a great appreciation for the land and pick up everyone elses litter ! Thanks for making these videos ..they are appreciated ery much 😊

I mean choosing an item what would make me more go out and when I'm out hiking I would love using it. Hunka or Maybe on very rare occasion would try sleeping under tarp.

Comments on PHD ytube videos are turned off - there is not much of experience shared regarding this bivvy. many thanks!

Well there is a big difference on price but obviously the Snowline is top banana. It’s clever as it does mange the moisture especially on multi day trips when it’s hard to dry out your gear. You can get is bespoke for size if you need it wider.

Hi Allen, absolutely love your videos. I just wanted to ask if you ever worry about the legality of wild camping and whether you’ll be moved on in the middle of the night? I know your locations are often very remote so probably don’t come into it much! I’m tempted to try it, especially after a couple of sunrise walks up to the Thirlmere and Buttermere pools and loving the solitude and unbelievable scenery. Keep up the great work and congratulations on 50k.
