  • JACK’S RAKE - A GRADE 1 SCRAMBLE
    Jack’s Rake is a challenge not for the faint hearted! It is dangerous due to its exposure with the possibility of a long fall in several places. Once committed the climb back down is equally as hard as the climb to the summit. A place to take serious care and caution and I wouldn’t advise doing it with a dog as risks will increase for you both. It is an epic route and in good dry conditions with some solid scrambling experience, an amazing challenge.
    Adventure hard but take care

    Took me back 30+ years to when I did the Rake with some army mates. So familiar!
    We met some ill-equipped and ill-prepared civies trying to come down it! One was cragfast on the main pitch
    Luckily, we managed to persuade them up was the only achievable route for them, and with the aid of the trusty rope we always had stowed,got them through the tricky bits.
    Great memories and a great place. So picturesque!

  • @MattGriffiths81
    @MattGriffiths81 Год назад +2

    Oh my lord Blue's face when you put the pan on the mat. I could see the internal dialogue:
    "Oh yeah food time... oh no, maybe water? oh right no he's just showing the camera the water thing... wait a pan? I'm eating from the pan? Why's it on your knee? wait.... that's MY plate, why are YOU eating it????!!!?!?" 🤣🤣
    What a great adventure. It's awesome to watch you doing the things you do, and managing to do it with Blue, and with a smile on your face. Amazing.
    Oh, and FYI the "glove loops" on the jacket (and the loop on the back of your neck) are used to attach it to a compatible waterproof shell so when you pull your arms out they stay inside the shell 😉

    Wow, what an epic rollercoaster of a ride, I felt almost a sense of shame and guilt watching this unfold from the safety and comfort of my armchair, Blue definitely has a sense of unique doggy telepathy to understand the rules of the mountain and what is required to work as a team, at certain traverses it was almost like Blue was showing you the safest way up the rake. I totally loved this one as we did Jacks rake around 10 years ago and I just could not imagine having the responsibility of a dog at the same time as the scrambling especially as I remember once you start climbing up you cannot change your mind half way up and decide to go down as it becomes a far more perilous challenge, akin to cat / tree theory. The sense of elation when arriving at the top is a feeling I wont forget and we all said we would do it again in a heartbeat. Cap tipped and doffed in your direction for this adventure. Ps, superb drone work,....spectacular.

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE

    Does Bluey ever show any signs of fear or doubt? He seems so confident, but I think that's because he trusts you. This is incredible to watch. We scrambled up there a few years ago and found it difficult, especially while carrying our camping gear. Great to see it from these perspectives. Thanks for sharing Al

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE
      @BUSHMANandBLUE  Год назад +7

      I think the main thing with a dog (and humans) is to be calm yourself. Luckily it’s my nature to keep calm so Blue feeds off that. He’s obviously well practiced at mountain adventure but also our bond and experience together helps massively. Well done for making it up the Rake. It’s definitely a tough one.

    Awesome video Al 👍 I did Jake's rake 17 years ago with my three boys, an epic day! Just had a day pack though, nice and dry conditions and I left my chocolate lab at home. And I certainly didn't carry a full steak diner and beers! 😂 Blue is fantastic, you can tell that he loves every minute of it. You are certainly giving him the best life 😊 I took my dog on all of my ventures into the fells but there was no way she could have done that, the only other one that I left her behind was sharp edge. Looking forward to your next video, I'm running out of ones to watch on your channel by the way 😁

    Blue, bless him, he's a dog n a half! A heart like a horse, in fact he's all heart. When you have made that kind of connection with your dog, his nobility love and loyalty shine through. All dogs are happiest when they have a job, and Blue's self appointed job is to be your companion in every adventure he can share with you. Take care of him boy, he's golden through n through and worth every moment of the time you spend together, and worth every ounce of care and love you can give him.
    Always find your way home safe and renewed by your days together, good luck n God bless you both.
