That's great! I hiked the same route last month with my 2 friends and we had such a great time, the landscape is awesome! Thanks for the video, it reminded me of my own journey❤
Great video Ellie, It's easy to forget how beautiful the UK is when you live in London, like 19:29 is so beautiful. I think next year when the winter passes I will try to do this walk (maybe just 1 day at first). I hope the storm didn't impact you too much :)
This stretch of the SWCP is so beautiful! 🌸Must do it soon🤞I have walked some other legs of the SWCP but this have to be my next one. You looked so happy and beeming Elli😁 so did Otto rolling in the grass.🐾
Thank you so much :) Yes, its definitely a very special part of the path with the dense, old, lush woodlands that can't be found elsewhere on the coast path. I was soooo happy :)
Another great video Elli. Thank you for reminding everyone what is such a diverse Island Britain of ever changing land and sea scapes. Some parts I’ve never visited, so an excellent introduction to them. Always impressed at your enthusiasm and energy (included Otto) It sometimes takes a fresh pair of eye to remind us what we have on our doorstep. 👍🏻🥾🥾
Oh, these lovely words really mean so much. I'm happy that you like the videos and that I can show the beautiful parts of the UK. Thank you so much :) That's one of the things I love most about hiking in the UK: There's so much variation 😍 And the sea is just something very special for me as I live near the Alps, so a loooong drive away from the sea...
what a lovely video, your smile makes me smile, chips and a baby bel cheese looks like Otto is a foodie, congrats on walking 1300 miles/ 2000 km, as always looking forward to your next adventure. 😊
Honestly! You are so excited at the beginning of the SWCP that I'm becoming excited too! I might actually have to do the SWCP myself.Mind you I do live 100metres from the path!.
omg, yes - you definitely need to walk the path :) It's incredibly stunning and my favorite trail so far. There's just something so special about it :)
It was great to see you walk this part. I walked this section last month and it's nice to relive it. It's funny that I stopped to take pictures at all the places you stopped to film. It was mostly sunny for my walk although Lynmouth to Combe Martin was extremely windy, I could barely stand on the Great Hangman. I started walking up the little hangman but had to give up as it was too windy with my pack! Such a lovely part of the path. I think the Exmoor section is my favourite. Although the SWCP is just so beautiful. The coast path is being extended all the way around England at the moment. So at some point soon I'll be able to Minehead along the coast from my house. I'm very much looking forward to that although that parts definitely not as lovely.
Thank you so much for your kind words :) That's so true - I definitely wouldn't want to walk that section in high winds 😬 It's a beautiful section and so unique on the path with the dense old woodlands :)
Great stuff Elli….thats a hell of a hike well done. Welcome back. Otto looks like he’s having a wonderful time too PS I realise I’m a bit late with my comments
Hello Elli Loving your video series. Just watched the latest video which was lovely as we know the area well. Like you, we love Porlock Weir and Lynmouth so thanks for the pictures of Lymoouth that brought back great memories. A shame that you didn't have room for some shots of Porlock village as it's a lovely place too - but you obviously can't record everything! On to Ilfracombe, one of my favorite places although I know the hills are really steep around there! Best wishes to you and a special biscuit for Otto!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot :) The coast path is so stunning! That's so true, Porlock Village is really beautiful. I went to explore it last year (loved it a lot!) and stayed at the campsite there missing a part of the Salt Marsh which is why I chose to walk to Porlock Weir directly this time :)
It's soooo beautiful, but also very hard work to get those views ;) This was the trail with (by far!) the most elevation/km on our JoGLE. There are no mountains, but climbing up a 100m high cliff from sea level 8 times a day also adds up 😂
So wonderful Elli seeing your glowing happy face enjoying your great adventure. I have noticed the weight lost but bet your body changed due to this hike . I couldn't believe when I done long distance hiking how much your body change's. What a beautiful area , can fully understand why it means alot to you . Lovely seeing Otto really enjoying himself . Wishing you both the best take care both 👍
Thank you so much :) Yes, true. Even after eating a lot more, I still kept losing a bit of weight. The last part was physically challenging - but also incredibly beautiful! It's just something else, probably even more for someone like me who's living an 8-hour-drive away from the sea :)
@@ellihikes true life makes you happy Elli 👍 hope you find away to keep doing this and still beable to live life to the full , my biggest dream too , and dreams do come true 😊
Thank you so much :) Yes, I'm already planning my next hikes in the UK next year! I've done a few of the national trails already, but definitely want to do more of them :)
Soo beautiful with the yellow gorse and purple heather, but, yes, the hills! 😮 I've noticed that you don't mind camping right next to the path, rather than hidden. 🏕 Brilliant that the tree kept your tent dry! Small victories! 😁 Perhaps Otto had an itchy back from the harness ? Often it's just pure happiness tho 😊 The coastal towns with rivers from Exmoor occasionally get hit by flash floods when the moor becomes saturated by slow moving or stationary rain fronts. Lynton & Lynmouth were flooded in 1952 and it looks like the river banks have been redesigned to cope with large volumes of water (20x?) +15:20. The Boscastle flood was more recent, in 2004. Otto's injured look, when you only gave him half the cheese 🤣😍🐾
Hahaha yes - the most elevation/km on our whole hike. The coast path is definitely strenuous on a lotof parts :) I normally don't camp that close to the path but I knew from last year that on this particular section it was basically the only spot within almost 1.5mi. The rest is either dense shrubs or really steep on both sides of the very narrow path. I think the rolling around is Otto's sign/outlet of excitement and joy as he also does it on the sofa and when we're playing :) Thank you so much :)
Lynmouth is a wonderful little place, but there is a dark day in its history when it was hit by a massive flood that claimed the lives of 34 inhabitants back in 1952. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynmouth_Flood

These vidoes are getting me through some really hard times. Thank you. :)
Aww, thank you so much! That makes me so happy that I can brighten your day a bit :) sending positive vibes 😊
Dear Elli ,just like to say how much I have enjoyed watching you on your epic journey. Your jolly smiling attitude is so refreshing .
That means so much, thank you for the lovely words :) I was so happy, to walk the SWCP again :)
That's great! I hiked the same route last month with my 2 friends and we had such a great time, the landscape is awesome! Thanks for the video, it reminded me of my own journey❤

He really is - hahaha ;) Chips and cheese are his favorite food for sure! Thank you so much for your continued support :)
I wonder how Otto will adapt after his epic walk. He will be really bonded to being with you 24/7. What an adventure you two have experienced!
Yes, it definitely brought us together even more :) He adapted well and after a few days of rest he was ready to go again ;)
Honestly! You are so excited at the beginning of the SWCP that I'm becoming excited too! I might actually have to do the SWCP myself.Mind you I do live 100metres from the path!.

You had me smiling all the way through 😁 thanks Elli 👍🍻

Great to see you back on the SWCP (I know this was a few months ago). Brings back some happy memories.
Thank you so much, Paul :) I'm sure that's the same for you: Editing the videos is so nice to relive the hike :) I love editing these last videos :)
Great stuff Elli….thats a hell of a hike well done. Welcome back. Otto looks like he’s having a wonderful time too
PS I realise I’m a bit late with my comments
Been waiting for this one for a while
the SWCP is really special, isn't it?

HI Elli and Otto.
Wow there was a couple of steep hills in this one and some very narrow paths. But very beautiful views again.
😋✌️
It's soooo beautiful, but also very hard work to get those views ;) This was the trail with (by far!) the most elevation/km on our JoGLE. There are no mountains, but climbing up a 100m high cliff from sea level 8 times a day also adds up 😂

Hi Eli. Otto deffinitely landed on his feet when you found each other. Didn't he?
hahaha, yes! He sure did :)
Soo beautiful with the yellow gorse and purple heather, but, yes, the hills! 😮
I've noticed that you don't mind camping right next to the path, rather than hidden. 🏕
Brilliant that the tree kept your tent dry! Small victories! 😁

@@ellihikes 😮😮I never realised that about the elevation/km! That's really saying something. I bet a lot of people are surprised by it.
