  • The weather was looking good 🌄
    I had the week off work 🍻
    But sadly my friends are busy 😮‍💨
    I decided it Time....
    Time to face my fears and attempt my first solo hike and wild camp.
    Wild camping and hiking alone both make me very anxious, but I feel ready.
    So, Monday morning I drove to Padstow, Cornwall, to take on the Saints Way.
    The Saints' Way Trail crosses mid-Cornwall from coast to coast. It covers approximately 30 miles/48 Km from the northern harbour town of Padstow to the southern port of Fowey.
    The route starts at Padstow Church and heads south through Little Petherick, St Breock Downs and Lanivet. The trail then joins the Fowey River near Lostwithiel. You can then walk along the river before reaching Fowey. A shorter route is available approximately 11 miles long. This passes through the Tywardreath site of a medieval monastic settlement.
    On this episode, I walk from Padstow to Lanlivery. Roughly 24.5 miles.
    Join me on my journey, the highs, and the lows. The aches, the pains.

    My sleepingbag, rollmat and waterproofs are more bulky and weigh more than most people's whole packs!
    I have bought a reasonably lightweight tent, 1.3kg, and that is as long as my daysack rucksack . . . which doesn't have straps at the bottom to hang it off!
    You are not alone!

    Hi there, i enjoy to look at the video, reminds me , when i decide to start hikking 3 years ago , like i had a 20 kg bag ... now i have a 10 kg bag in a 35 litres bag ... i will suggest 2 tricks to light it up your bag ... #1 if you put an item in your bag and you says " i take this in case of " ... you don t take it , you will find something else to use ... and #2 take muti purease material...
    I hope that will help you ... keep doing it , you did a great job and i hope to see more long distance video of you !!!
    Sincerely yours Luc from south of France !!!

    you certainly did some miles, I remember walking down that hill and seeing the church tower knowing the campsite isn't far off now. The reason I first started wild camping was because I was finding on some trails there simply weren't any campsites where i wanted to stop lol
