The Tas Valley Way Join Stuart and myself as we hike & camp this little known trail through South Norfolk. No chatting nonsense in this episode, just a chilled one. A decent trail which can be broken into 2 days with a stay at Chesnuts campsite (1 or 2 miles off the route). It ended up being a bit of a church pilgrimage 🤣 Lots planned this summer, so stay tuned.

    Hey man, planning on doing the C2C summer this year. Looks like a nice kit I'll certainly be heavier! That app looks great for finding shops etc. I did the Cumbria way and took food with me which weighed me down a lot.

    How is the guide book relative to the route? And the water situation? Did you filter water or just buy/tap?

    Wonderful video and finally the first where you stay in guest accommodations. I am doing this in June 2025. What time of year was this? Did you always pre book rooms ahead of time? How was cell service? Do most places take a credit card or mainly cash? Moving on to your part 2.

    Of all the Cape Wrath series I've seen, this is by far the best and perhaps the only one that accurately portrays just how hard this trail is. It's a pity you have to take the bog route to view that waterfall.

    Great video I watched this before booking the 2025 edition - thanks! By the way Darren - you might want to check your HR zones. All your stats are skewed much higher than normal. 1hr in zone 5 and 2.5hr in zone 4 is extremely rare if not impossible for anyone but top level athletes (no disrespect to you).

    😃 You went on one of the best hikings trails in europe, you need to be healty and also a little bite fit to can do it. But its a huge experience and you grow there! I know to find fruits and food, i have a good knowledge in the mountains and forrest, but im not a guide. Its a rough teritory and you believe or not, you beed calmness and patience in this area! You have to become one with the surrounding and everything opens up, you start understanding everything. 😊

    I like your videos and a great load out video but as a RUclips influencer I think it’s irresponsible to be carrying so little safety equipment you could easily get into trouble if you hurt yourself or the weather turned bad, I’m a very experienced mountain leader and and it seems to much emphasis is placed of light weight instead of safety, rant over

We got some mega thunder and lightning between Plav and Vusanje at around 2000m, so hearing the thunder in the video brought back some flashbacks. We also stopped at that house in Balqin! The woman was very friendly and welcoming
