How fortunate is Otto to have someone like you ; taking into account his every need and looking after him so lovingly - it's a beautiful relationship. I'm betting that before you put his little boots on, you check for creepy crawlies and tiny stones !
Hey Elli, one of your subscribers rightly told me off when I asked for more timeous coverage. He or she was right. It's up to you what you post. Glad you and Otto are doing well.
Thanks very much for answering my questions. Really enjoyed this. I live close to The Lake District and very much recommend it. Not only a fantastic place but the whole culture is geared towards people like you. A true celebration of the great outdoors. And, plenty of wonderful food places.
Hi Elli, a very, very interesting and informative feature. Obviously you've invested a lot of work in the preparing and planing your hikes. Not everything can't be planed, but without planing everything is nothing. Good luck, stay on an keep tough, you and your little rescue dog😊
Thanks for answering my questions Elli, it's really interesting to hear your perspectives 👍 I'm British but hadn't realised how strong the hiking culture is. I guess that it's been a widespread cultural pursuit since the 1930s economic depression. It's always more popular when the economy is bad. When you're young, you can get away without stretching, but, with the benefit of hindsight, it isn't sensible. Now I'm 50 I seize up and I have to stretch. Since I had PF when I was ~35 I've always done Gastroc & Soleus stretches. I've just been reading up about using balls - I hadn't really understood why they're used. "Moderate" British landscape 😁 Britain is known for it's moderation ...in just about everything 😁
Great vlog, do think your resupply parcels are a stroke of genius, its something i have never thought to have done and a really good idea! Really enjoying this journey of your vlogs on the lenght of uk, they are excellent as is your english (albeit i'm very late and only found your vlogs from the lakes due to the youtube formula). Cape wraith is really enjoyable, i'd also add the Hebridean way, 250km if you do it direct, although its easy to add another 100km to this with exploring. Some stunning scenery, and the little ferries along the way add to the journey. Some of the beaches are literally the most stunning in Scotland. Lastly , Otto's blanket and his little jumper, too cute when hes in the tent ready for bed in your vlogs. Hope you and otto keep injury free and are enjoying whatever trails your currently on.
Hi Ellie. Really enjoying your journey with Otto. I think you should deffinitely see the lake district. I think it is the most beautiful part of Britain.
Very informative Elli but where was Otto 💤? 😆 I think you and Otto should get on the bike next. I think he would love sitting up the front with his cycling goggles on. 😝
Great video 😊 You are an inspiration for me. I hope I can do a longer hike with my dog in the UK in the future (she is still a puppy, so has some growing up to do). So I am loving your videos and posts. Thank you for sharing some of it with us and have fun. And of course a big hug (and extra cookie) for Otto ❤
If you're going to do the coast to coast, try the Cumbria Way too while you're in the area - it's a walk from the south of the lake district to the north and only a few days. Also, having seen how much you love the South West Coast Path, maybe you should also try the Wales Coast Path - I haven't walked it but that coastline is just as beautiful and dramatic as Cornwall!
As I've never been to the Lake District, actually thought of doing the Cumbria Way this year too. Would love to do it to see a bit more of the area :) As for the Wales Coast Path: Definitely on the list too, I love walking along the sea :)
Love your channel, Elli, it gives me lots of inspiration. We will hike in Norway this summer. Will you and Otto also consider hiking in Scandinavia? Thanks for the video’s
Und ich dachte mit Rescue Dog wäre Rettungshund gemeint, 😄. Deswegen kam auch meine Frage, was für einer er denn wäre, denn zb Lawinen oder Wasser konnte ich mir nicht so recht vorstellen. Dabei meinst du damit ja 'geretteter' Hund. Oder ich hab das 'd' am Ende immer überhört, bei rescued. Dann würde es ja passen.
Aaaaaaaah, klassisches Missverständnis 🙈🙈 sorry! Die Engländer benutzen tatsächlich auch rescue dog für Hunde aus dem Tierschutz, hab ich dann auch so übernommen und gar nicht an die andere Bedeutung gedacht 🤣🙈
You can't get fined for wild camping in the U.K. even if you refuse to move on as it is , as you correctly said a civil offence. However if in the unlikely event of the landowner getting the police to attend the scene and you did refuse to move the police could charge you criminally with an obstruction charge. The police will usually only attend mass trespass events and that is not often. Of course most people would want to move on if they are asked to as it is uncomfortable to feel so unwelcome.
@@ellihikes I guess it's technically possible to get "fined" in the UK. A local authority could have a byelaw, or a landowner could have an implied contract, as was used to justify clamping cars on private land & charging a fee to remove the clamp. Both would require signage to tell you you'd be liable for a fine. As mentioned, you're more likely to get asked to leave as a trespasser, which could become the criminal offence of aggravated trespass if the police were involved & you still didn't leave.

Oh you will love the Lakes! It's a really special place
It looks incredible on all the pictures 😊 can't wait to explore it 😍

All good! Trying my best to edit and upload as often as I can. Once I'm done with the hike and back home, I'll catch up quickly :)

That sounds wonderful! The Lake District is definitely very high up our list of next possible adventures 🥰

Aw :D thanks for answering my question! Amazing to hear you are 2/3 through, enjoying following along with your journey :)
Aww, that means a lot! Thank you :)

Thank you so much! Yes, I realized now, how important it is to stretch- better late than never 🤣🙈

The witches trail sounds wonderful! ❤
I have yet to do it, but heard so many good things about it :)
thanks for replying to my question and it the the first one lol hope you and otto are well
Thank you so much!
Hi Ellie. Really enjoying your journey with Otto. I think you should deffinitely see the lake district. I think it is the most beautiful part of Britain.
Thank you so much! Absolutely, the Cumbria Way as well as the Coast to Coast are both planned for next year :)
Very informative Elli but where was Otto 💤? 😆 I think you and Otto should get on the bike next. I think he would love sitting up the front with his cycling goggles on. 😝
Just picturing this made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣 who knows? Maybe we'll do a bike trip when he is too old to walk longer distances :)
Great video thanks. I also think you (both!) would enjoy the Lake District.
Thank you :) can't wait to go after hearing so many great things 🥰
Great video 😊 You are an inspiration for me. I hope I can do a longer hike with my dog in the UK in the future (she is still a puppy, so has some growing up to do).

Awww, that means so much! Thank you for your kind words :) hiking with a dog is really amazing 🥰
@@ellihikes yes, hiking is much better with a dog 😊 Truth be told, hiking without a dog feels like hiking naked 🙈
If you're going to do the coast to coast, try the Cumbria Way too while you're in the area - it's a walk from the south of the lake district to the north and only a few days.

The Alpe Adria goes from Austria though Slovenia and Italy for 700KM or so. I did it in 2019 solo at 59.
I've walked a bit of it a few years back, that's definitely on my list too 😊
💜
Love your channel, Elli, it gives me lots of inspiration. We will hike in Norway this summer. Will you and Otto also consider hiking in Scandinavia? Thanks for the video’s
Aww, that's very kind. Thank you so so much! Yes, I definitely would want to hike in Scandinavia too :) definitely on the list as well 🥰

Yes, true! I think the question came from one of my German followers where getting fined for wildcamping is a real thing and can happen....
