Great stuff Dave... I recognise bits of the walk as I have parked at Whitestone & stood at the bench then walked to the falls. A lovely lot of water there on your visit - I have been twice but never had anything like this. Love the local historical notes you have provided for this walk and I think I will download this and persuade my Newport friend to come & join me on it. Will let you know how we get on. Thanks again.

I bought a pair on offer last year, very comfy. The only issue is that I got slight lace bite. I fixed that by tightening the eyelets, but leaving the hooks relatively loose, and now they are like gloves. 900 miles is not far. My previous Craghopper Treks lasted over 1,000 miles on roads and paths before splitting. The soles were fine. Where the Scarpa beats the Craghoppers is the design. The Craghooper laces were always coming undone, and doing them up was very hard because the hooks are too close together. The Scarpa laces are easy to do up as the hooks are well spaced, and the laces stay done up. Also the Craghoopers had material round the ankle outsides, which got muddy and could not be cleaned. I’m not sure it’s worth buying posh boots from a durability point of view, I paid £70 for the Craghoppers, and I paid £110 for the Scarpa. I will probably buy Scarpa again even if they only last one year i.e. 1,000 miles because they are designed better, and I just like them!

Bought a pair of. Soloman and they were trash, karrimor held up better

Спасибо за обзор))

Great filming of this beautiful place and was so happy to see St Mary's Shrine where I scattered my late Mother and Brothers ashes last year,planted flowers there last week remembrance Sunday 2023 so hope they bloom come spring! ❤

Thanks for your video. The valleys look so peaceful and beautiful. My great great grandfather at 21 left his family farm in the Valley in 1864 and emigrated to Australia. They named a family house in my home town "Rhondda" so I guess he thought fondly of his homeland and undoubtedly missed the area as well as his family.

I walked from Los Angeles to Barnet north London in a pair of these, apart from 20 resoles and 8 new uppers they’ve been brilliant, oh and I’ve replaced the laces 15 times

Just watched all of your Cambrian Way adventure, and got to say that was fantastic and enjoyed every episode. FairPlay to you that is a long route and you made it look easy, might have to do this myself 😁 as we live in Cardiff we aren’t that far from the start of it, ATB Mark & Simon .

Another great video - thank you Dave

Fair play you changed your pronunciation at 15;32

hi, just a tip... it's not Cwm istwyth....ystwyth is pronounced like the last syllable in butter....like the word rust but without the r same applies for Aber ystwyth ...Aber (ust) wyth lots of people make this mistake....hope this helps you

Ah the fickle UK weather. I guess I hit the same yellow weather warning as you. Shame you did not get some better days. I have only been to Dartmoor once, to do a mountain marathon, and I didn't see anything for two days. Looks an interesting area with some great wild camping spots by the tors. Thanks for taking us along. Pain au Chocolat for breakfast ? That's nearly as bad as Dave Goodman taking his pajamas. Oh, and I remember you asking what I filmed on. GoPro10. No worries about it getting wet !

I thought you wanted to stay alone on your island

Even when covered by fog or mist the valleys are a magical place

Very envious to see others out walking, still not able to get out myself!

Hard weather punctuated by lovely brightness on those beautiful moors, thank you for filming it. Struck me that it's increasingly unusual to see people battling with paper maps in the wind and rain!

That looked a testing couple of days Dave. When the weather was good though glad to say you managed to capture some cracking footage of Dartmoor.. an area unfamiliar to me = think the only Tor I have visited has been Haytor - Deb & I walked up there years ago when we was on one of our away trips to Exeter. Have to say it looks bleak, but none the less beautiful. I see Jason & Andrew didn't bother with the long trousers, tough pair...lol. Good watch as always. atb Al

I recognise a few locations, being born and raised in Okehampton. Shame the weather wasn't the best, the moor can certainly be a bleak place. Great video as always.

What a pleasure on a wet Sunday afternoon to stay indoors and watch you battle the elements. I’ve just spent 3 good days camping and walking in the Peak District and now watching another of your wonderful adventures has left me wanting to get out again. All of the people I’ve camped with over recent months really just do it for the nights camping which I’ve found difficult to understand as for me like yourself it’s all about the journey. Thanks Dave for another great video. 👌👍🙏🍻😊

Thank you for sharing your epic journey with us, enjoyed every minute of it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great videos of the Lycian & really helpful as I'm doing Kas to Antalya in October. Thanks for sharing.

A fabulous adventure Dave, thanks for taking us a long. They were a full on last two days and the descent down to Conwy looks great. It will be nice to walk over those hills again. I'm about to start the second half tomorrow. I can appreciate the challenge of doing this route in one trip, but also the rewards that come with that too. Next adventure ?

Ohh well done Dave and I hugely appreciate you sharing this trip it’s been fantastic to watch. Best meal, well I agree there, we had a great night in the Red lion. I loved your stories in this final episode. Congratulations on all those 2000 ft hills in England and wales that’s an achievement. You’re certainly a keen hiker and an inspiration Dave. Although I have been over the Glyders many times the weather for us last year was very bad and the terrain up there was extremely confusing and very slippery, we could not get on the cantilever stone. This route and the cape wrath trail are my best hiking achievements with the CW being a lot tougher but the CWT raises more emotions. Thank you so much Dave and ATB 🙏🍻

Fantastic conclusion to the walk. Stunning scenery captured with a photographers eye as always. It does look like a long distance trail well worth doing. I always enjoy passing a way marker when wandering around South Wales and pondering if I'll ever do the whole trail one day.

Congratulations. Fabulous trek.

Thank you so much for your videos of the Cambrian Way, I've enjoyed every one. I look forward to the next trek!

Fantastic trek. Really enjoyed every video.

Absolutely stunning, we are so very lucky in Wales to have such beauty on our doorstep. Thanks again David, your videos are always brilliant.

Thanks for the effort and skill to provide an excellent entertaining record of your achievements, certainly inspiring and despite being a good bit older than you, a trip i think i need to do whilst i still can. Keep up the good work, looking forward to see what comes next.

Wonderful trek and great finish 👍

Great video clip Morgs, thanks for sharing, we've spent years hiking and exploring in Wales and its always nice to see new places like this that we could visit, we've subscribed :) look forward to seeing more of your content in the future also 👍

Congratulations! Thank you for posting the inspirational videos. Look forward to seeing your next adventure.

Congratulations David! Well done. You've inspired me to take a closer look at The Cambrian Way. Maybe in sections though, I don't think I'd be able to have 3 weeks annual leave for it!

A great achievement and a wonderful route. Many thanks.

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement and a couple of days quicker than if following the suggested daily stages. Have really enjoyed watching this series and living in South Wales I am very tempted to complete at least the bottom half of this journey next year. The last couple of days had some big climbs but you seemed to be floating on air coming to the end. Enjoy your coffee's and couple of day's rest and I look forward to your next expedition. 😀

Great video Dave 😊 thank you for going to all the trouble to make it 🎉

Another great section Dave. I am looking forward to doing the Rhinogs traverse, I have done sections before but never in one go. Looked like a couple of excellent wild camps along the way but £22 is taking the mickey for a campsite. Nearest I had to that was £35 for me and Judith (one tent ) on the Scottish National Trail. Totally get your shorter day to Beddgelert. 50mph is no fun. Looking forward to the last section. 👍

16:16 Ignore the cholesterol in the food you eat; dietary cholesterol has ZERO influence on blood levels. It's yet another of many food myths that have no basis in truth or science. As for a fried breakfast (the traditional "Full English" etc.), it has been proven, time and again, to be just about the healthiest start to the day you can have. If you pile in the carbs (porridge, cereal, bread etc.) your energy levels will be all over the place, with insulin/sugar spikes and crashes. Keep the protein high, and you'll feel (and do) much better...trust me! I'm 57, I have a blended 5-egg shake (in 500ml of milk) for breakfast, then do some work (I work from home), then go to the gym...5 times a week...then, I have a steak mid-afternoon, not long after the gym. I may have some SMALL carb snacks a little later, then another 5-egg shake in the evening. I have never eaten so few carbs, and so much protein, in my life...and my weights in the gym are as high (or higher) than they were in my 20s or 30s, my recovery is faster & more complete than ever (I have never ached so little, the day after a hard workout), and my energy levels are constant all day. I never felt this good before. I also walk several miles, maybe twice a week (usually over the Gower). So, if it works for me, at 57, there must be something to it!

I’m still keeping up with how it went for you Dave. ATB 🙏🍻

Captured it really well as always. A couple of tough days on the legs but some rewarding pitches and swims. Looking forward to the final part, although I'll miss the regular content.

Your video brought back some good memories of walks I've done and searches for Gold DofE teams in the areas you were walking. I agree entirely with your assessment of The Rhinogs - hard underfoot (and dangerously slippery in some places where there is continual drainage) but a great experience all the same. Enjoyed the video very much.

Another great episode, didn’t think you sounded negative but understandably tired after a very hard day on a very long trek!

Am really enjoying following you on this awesome walk, noting the increasing wildness of the mountains, not to mention the increasing need for calories! Since Covid the backpacker rate for campsites really seems to have gone up, not everywhere but in many places; £20 is not unusual.

Great video Dave - the Teifi Pools are particularly stunning

Beautiful footage of the trek. I am looking at doing it myself soon. What did you do to get visa permits to cross all three countries? Did you use a service?

Nice campspot ! I'm looking forward to this section the most. I have many fond childhood memories of this area and I am looking forward to going back. Cadair Idris was my first ever mountain climbed aged 13 so doing a full traverse of it is high on my list. Thanks for taking us along. 👍👍

Enjoyed it so much i came back for another look. Actually, sat watching in the car whilst Deb in gaving a dexa scan in Pontypool 😊 That pitch was something else, you deserved it after doing 18 miles.. and the Welsh cake. 😂

One of the finest pitches I've seen and the kind of conditions that elevates it further. Wonderful leg this one, the mountain views and inversion, beautiful. Glad you had such cracking walking conditions for it and you were able to enjoy clear views.

Fantastic and well done👌🏕️🍻

Thanks Dave, you’re an inspiration. I’m loving following along and makes me want to get out there again. ATB 🏕️😊🙏🍻
