That’s is sunny though can’t help the summer

There some good reads they are

Really enjoyed this, a really helpful and interesting video, thank you.

Hi Jonathan, have just completed (except for the Sutton Scotney loop) the Watercress Way. Walking (anti-clockwise) over a couple of days I really enjoyed it although I did have some issues with the very wet water meadow near Itchen Stoke which ended up in need of some of the dreaded road walking. The longer ‘no navigation required’ stretches were just brilliant. Overall a good walk with some stunning views. Thanks for taking the time to video your walk it was so useful in preparing for my outing.

It’s pronounced Por-lev-en not Port-leeven , I know because I live there 👍🏻

Very enjoyable watch, thanks Jonathan - looking forward to the next one 👍

Thanks. I so enjoy your adventures. It’s great to be able to experience the SWCP vicariously through you. Am looking forward to the next episode. Take care

what was the issue with the ferry, weren't you asked to pay?

TBH cows on popular paths don't cause trouble. it's the herds of less trodden paths that are spooked easily

Thank you. It may inspire me to follow your tracks(correct word?) ,next time I come to England.

Hi. I’m not really into walking long distances or hiking, but have walked a few miles of the Offa’s Dyke path over the years as I live in Tutshill (Chepstow). Just wondering why walkers like yourself use hiking/walking poles on flat, level easy going ground?

Very nice video about the trail. And what I particularly liked is the final section over Cow Hill. I want to do that too. I've seen so many videos of the WHW where people complain at the end about the long walk along the road towards Fort Williams, but so far no one has taken the alternative route. It looks really good :-) Thanks for the video!

Yet another great video. I think everyone has their own natural walking pace and it's quite difficult to adjust that overnight (not literally 😊). Cheers Chris

Thanks Jonathan, am also pleased you’re back out again. Really enjoy your approach to walking, the outdoors and sharing your experience.

Nice to see another of your videos. Having time to stop for coffee is surely important. Looking forward to the South West Coast Path if you decide to film it.

I enjoyed this video, peaceful, relaxing spots and wild flowers and streams, thank you for sharing the beauty, a great hike for sure, like 10 and sub🙂

On the SWCP I found that long lunch stops, if you manage to make it to a town, worked for me -- fish & chips and ice cream will make the day far more pleasant and fuel you for those big climbs.

Good to see you out and about again. I think you have the right idea, enjoy the walk and the experiences the more relaxed approach brings, save the bigger mileage for the days you need it and have the time to take pleasure in the journey when you can as well as reaching the destination when you need to do so.

Its always a dilemma knowing how far to go whilst on a long distance walk, that's the beauty of wild camping. Enjoyed seeing another one of your videos. Thanks Phill

Hi WWJ, will there be any videos coming this summer for us to enjoy? Cheers Chris

You really was pushing out the miles daily Jonathon .I can t do those milages nowadays , I m too old . You must have been pretty exhausted to do it in under 5 days .Probably the fastest I ve seen on these vids although one bloke has done it in 3 days which is bonkers

Skelton is the very last place to stock up if you missed the big Sainsbury s .Theres a Co Op on the High Street very close to the path. I always make sure to grab a couple of 500 gr pkts boiled sweets as basic carbs which are well needed . Next water source is either ask at a property in Kildale , Kildale camping barn or the station at Kildale which has toilets and a small sink .Next one after that is Lordstones Cafe .No where to filter

Just finished a similar 67 hour Ridgeway walk this week. Worth noting St Botolph's Church, Swyncombe and church at Nuffield. Both with water taps and also when open they both have tea/coffee making facilities and cake/biscuits for a donation. Such lovely churches (many on the route) and wonderful trust and generosity.

Thank you for making this video Jonathan. I'm due to walk the Ridgeway myself this Summer, it being my first national trail and your video has been nothing less than inspirational.

Good tips. Thanks. I just got this tent

I've enjoyed your video & will take onboard the lack of water in parts. I have already completed half the walk from Goring to Ivinghoe & will be taking on the second half later this year... I'm comfortable with filtering water so I'll keep my eye open for animal troughs... Did you plan your wild camp spots or just free style along the way ??

Thank you. Your exper and observations match mine with the Lunar Solo. Used it on the CDT in the USA. Thanks again.

Is there a water tap on the trail

Thanks again Jonathan, really enjoy your laconic informative style. 😊

Thanks Jonathan. I really enjoy your videos, thoughts and tips and them invaluable when planning trips. Partly walked the Itchen Way where it is coincident with the St. James’ Way last year; hope to do the rest later this year. Keep walking, filming and posting.

Really helpful video thanks.

Thanks Jonathan, really enjoy your videos. Very useful when planning trips. Did the St Swithun’s Way last year but was scuppered by flooding so hope to return to complete it this year. Also planning to do the North Downs Way in April and September.

Not sure of your white horse date 1827 thought the one near the Ridgeway dated from the late Bronze Age

Im planning to do this the end of july over 4 maybe 5 nights of wild camping, where where did you camp?

'Fast becoming my favorite.' I like that Jonathan - and you were at one of my favorite local spots just below the Hay Bluff. A fantastic trail with you so far - glad you could make it back. Yeah it's rolling and gets deep outback. I noticed you stopped and admired the Radnor Forest before Kington. It's a great area to explore. You had some good pitches and stays. For sure the Black Mountains are a beast in fierce weather it's that open. Well, good to see you finally enjoy the lower Wye. Good going. All the best for 2024. Mark

Be wary of strangers bearing gifts . I know out in the countryside everyone is usually friendly , helpful and kind but I come from a crime riddled place and I'd never accept a drink or food off somebody I'd be worried it was laced with something , Especially when you're saying after eating it you feel perky and full of energy lol Maybe I'm just paranoid and thats why I love walking and hiking so much it gets me away from the bad place I live in

Hi Jonathan excellent video the castle on the hill is Dinas Bran. Wonderful views lovely walk

I enjoyed this one. Btw Is that a Z Packs Duplex tent by any chance?

single wall double wall in the same conditions both will have exactly the same condensation ( it comes from ground and your breath) but you just don't notice it with double wall and less likely to touch the outer sheet. pitching into wind is the only solution with this. But if no wind then condensation for sure.

I personally knew that girl and , she , Offa really loved her😮😆

Yes, you are brittish, ha ha.

your my hero 💗

Hi Jonathan I see you are ok with camping in the woods at night . I was always told not to in case a branch fell off and hit your tent at night?

Hi do you remember the water points

Interesting to see the finish. I walked part of the St Swithuns Way from Farnham to Alton last week - lots of lane walking and road noise - but I was blessed by 3 nice American ladies doing the Pilgrims Way en route.

Really doing it justice. Thanks for upload. Subbed.

Hi Jonathan Can you say if the ridgeway is well signposted as i hate getting lost and having to walk back a mile our two Des

Jonathan nice vids you make, and very informative. Curious about the brolly where did you get that from. It looks lightweight and gives sun protection. Thanks John M

Well worth waiting for. Glad the weather was better. Lots of bluebells; just wondering if the wild garlic was around?

Rain, rain go away. ☔️
