I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the inspirational content. I have been outdoors all my life until illness put me on the couch for a few years. Your channel and a few others have helped me get back to it immensely. I did 15 miles in the showers yesterday and tested my new Rab Kinetic Alpine 2.0. jacket. I enjoyed every step, largely thanks to you and Blue. Cheers.

Sub-Aqua dived in Hodge Close many many times. What's incredibly impressing is that the water is over 32 metres deep, crystal clear and had a couple of cars/vans on the bottom as I recall. Interestingly there are extensive tunnel entrances in the underwater cliff faces at around 20 metres I think. Never went in them as there had been fatalities in there when divers had gone in without trailing lines to find their way back out, kicked up silt and ran out of air trying to get out. It's very commiting place, probably off limits now, certainly regarded as an extreme dive site as it's also at altitude and requires possible decompression stops. I've also fallen off that ladder trying to climb down in full kit holding my camera in one hand - Doh! That puddle behind you when you were on the crane is in fact another tunnel entrance but you have to have full kit on to duck under the ledge and surface a few metres away in another cavern. Thanks for the video and sorry about the drone! Blue is fantastic.

We have recently been on a camp where a herd of around 17 cows decided to investigate our tents, meanwhile we are inside terrified of being trampled, they were licking, scratching and tripping over our guy lines. We made an escape leaving our other fellow camper in his tent alone surrounded by cows... our tent became unpegged and now has a snapped pole and ripped fly sheet (fjall raven abjsko dome 2) so that will also cost us a packet but at least we weren't injured and can live to tell the tale of an incredible experience that has created a very meamorable memorie!

I live about 500 feet from a large gravel pit here in Southwest Michigan and have spent a few nights sleeping in it with just a blanket and an old fashioned kerosene lantern. Unfortunately, the gravel pit runs parallel with a major highway, so its noisy all night. But it was fun watching the deer wandering all over and the coyotes howling. I think I'm going to get back in to my favorite pastime of flying box kites. I used to be the only child in my neighborhood that could fly a box kite. Also, I absolutely adore Blue, he reminds me of my dog that I had in my youth. Good old Fred, the English Beagle... I'm 64 years old now and still dream about him and he died in 1978. I so enjoy your videos, the more violent the weather the better! Anytime I have a chance to sit out during a storm I'm in it! My wife and I were Traveling Nurses as well as amateur storm chasers. Cheers.

Hello Bushman. This takes me back. Have you ever heard of the 'rave in the cave'? This was just above Hodge Close. Back in the late 80's /early 90's, folk used to mock to Hodge Close after the rave clubs in the NW of England shut and ravers would dance into the morning Sun. There would be hoards of folk tearing up the M6 at stupid o'clock in the morning just to get there. In the end, the cave was blown up due to H&S concerns. That was at the top end of Hodge Close. Probably a good idea come to think of it. Anyway, hope you and Blue are keeping well. Happy NY.

Boy o Boy what a cracking Video two brilliant places I’ve done them quite a lot over the years. Its amazing just how much warmer it gets inside the caves. I gasp in awe when you look at the graft those old timers must have done in those quarries really hard and cold long days. They were men them days. What a shame about the drone hope you can get it fixed. Anyhow Allen as usual a Top Notch video. All the best Take Care B. K. Cheers

Yes the temperature change was unreal. This is why ground source heat pumps work. I need to build a bunker to live in next 😬

Love Hodge! Just spent another week up there at the cottage you walk passed on the way down to the cave. Unfortunately it got abused during covid with locals being attacked by some of the people that turned up. Please to see its getting better but I think the warden and police still visit at peak times.

6:23 face in the rocks. 😁 Great place to explore Al, never mind for the kids. Love old quarries and caves. Nice bivvy camp too, I probably would have just slept in the motor. 😆

It’s a well known reflection as it looks like a skull if you get it right. Definitely awesome exploring old mines👌

Enjoyed this, one of my favourite areas of the lakes. Hope the drones fixable, the bivvy spot was where I recognised, camped there a few times the view to langdale is spectacular. Atb for 2023 explores will definitely be watching

I suppose a good bivvy would hold up better than a good tent in serious storm winds, rain could be a problem with staying dry though I suppose getting changed etc.

Definitely better in high winds but if it was snowy I’d stay away from any edges as it makes a great sledge😂
