Greetings from Melbourne. Thank you for this great presentation. I enjoyed it very much. Last year I came to Britian to walk parts of the South West Coast around Penzance and to walk the Two Moors Way from Ivybridge to Lynmouth. I absolutely loved it! Trail walking is much different here in Australia with greater distances between towns. I plan to return to England in to walk the pilgrimage route from Bury St Edmund to Walsingham.
Tea, cake and good company what a great way to spend a week, not to mention beer and pub grub. Thanks fella, I have added this to my list of walks for next year.
I’ve walked the South Downs Way myself a couple of times. Each time from Winchester. I made roughly the same stops as you but wasn’t carrying camping gear, so well done. The last time I did it with my best mate from Canada. We grew up together in Woodingdean, up on the Downs outside Brighton, so doing it together was a bit of a pilgrimage. I really enjoyed seeing you three sharing such a magical time in such a beautiful place. Thanks. Tony Lenton
Thanks Tony I really enjoed the Southdwons way, I can still remember one section that was really steep going, well several actually. There's no doubt it is a walk through time almost
Absolutely stunning 😲 I know the South Downs well even though I’ve never lived there. All my relatives live down that way and spent a lot of my childhood down that way. Does the beginning of the walk start at princes park end. Great video, might see you one one of your walks as I walk the Marlborough downs regularly. Take it easy 👍
Been to the UK three times... Never had the opportunity to see the countryside via a walk. Thanks so much for sharing your trek with me. So much beautiful countryside to see. Thank you!
That was really excellent thank you. I live in Spain now with no possibility of returning..South Downs was my home turf and so good to see it again. Fantastic
Really enjoyed this Sandy. Great video and company. Feeling inspired. I’ve camped at odd spots in the SDW but never walked it in it’s entirety. Thinking about it for 2023. Thanks again - Ben 👍
Wonderful Sandy. A delight to watch you walk through the land of my birth. So many familiar places. At Amberley you were very close to my all time favourite camping spot. I'll leave you with this. If I ever become a rich man, Or if I ever grow to be old, I will build a house with a deep thatch, To shelter me from the cold, And there shall the Sussex songs be sung, And the story of Sussex be told. I will hold my house in the high wood, Within a walk of the sea, And the men who were boys when I was a boy, Shall sit and drink with me. Best wishes Al P.S. also, you were fairly close to the source of my name.
Great video but also sad. Unfortunately, due to massive claudication of the Aorta, I can only walk 20 feet - let alone 100 miles. However, as an ex-army officer and Falklands vet, I have previously done my share of walking. I really envied your trip. I would love to do myself. Best of luck, Sandy. Ian Swindon Subscriber.
Sandy, you are an inspiration to me. Watching you take short and long walks have made me work harder and to try to walk with my crutches further. I may have to use them permanently but they help me get from A to B. You have some great trails to hike. I like the small towns you come across and the stories they have to tell. So very cool indeed. Thanks for sharing. Tony
Wow ever so Inspiring you three guys. It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos sandy takes me back to when I was a child without a care in the world. Thank you 😎
very nice Sandy , , , very nice , , , enjoyed immensely , , , beautiful weather , beautiful country / views , , , pleasantly surprised at the very clean condition of the trail , , not one speck of trash.. .
Currently quarantined and missing the outdoors. As soon as this curfew is lifted I'm either going to walk or cycle South downs. This has really inspired me. Thank you for your video, I've enjoyed many of your outings and have learnt a lot. Time to put some of your teaching into practice. Please keep making the content it's very much appreciated.
Beautiful scenery and villages. Congrats on completing that Sandy, great achievement. And congrats to the others for putting up with you for a whole week too, a bigger achievement ;)
I felt a bit worried for the chap using the tarp .Im just glad you had good weather .I did the Southdowns way with my brother a few years back .Thanks, great memories but don't remember all those pubs
Hi Sandy, cracking video and walk well done to one and all, Chanctonbury ring is an iron age hill fort, I have spent many a night up there wild camping with friends. Never came across any ghost, goolies or witches mind you! A really beautiful place to spend the night, even if you do need to keep an eye open for Caesar's lost legion, " or so they say"! If you look directly south you will another hill fort called Cissbury ring just north of Worthing, also another lovely place for a wild camp. All the very best to you and your wondering buddy's. Great video.
Beautiful scenery and the video work was great. I enjoyed watching that walk, what an awesome amount of trails and tracks you have traversing the country side. Congratulations on completing the journey with your friends, it looks as if you had a great time. Cheers from Australia
Epic video and what beautiful scenery , im from the North of England so its a treat for me to see the other end of our country in such a spectacular way Thank You . All the best . Darren (:
One of your very best Sandy, that Amberly one of prettiest villages I have ever seen. Always half expecting to see Tom Barnaby or Inspector Morse come whizzing round bend in those sleepy little English villages though. Thanks for sharing.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching our experience sat on the sofa with the family. Happy days indeed. Many thanks to you and Tony for being my walking companions. Hope it won’t be too long before we can do something similar. ATB. Bill.
Anytime you want to do a hike Bill just let me know. Always up for an adventure. Really enjoyed it. 100% worth the effort and the company was top notch:) Sandy
Great video Sandy, good to see the 3 of you doing the walk, I did it a few years ago with my grandson he was 9 at the time he is now 19, we did it over 7 days I think it was, took it easy and really enjoyed it, your video brought back some good memories, thanks for sharing it👍
It was emotional to see the Poppies on Joseph Oestermanns grave,.. there IS decency in ALL of us, its just good to see it shown now and again. Well done for showing it to us, it warmed my heart. PS . Joseph died in 1940 at the height of the Battle of Britain, .. NOT 1948!.
Lovely weather for the whole length of the trip, that's really lucky 👍😊 And those fantastic vistas and morning mists! 😳😳😳 What a great way to spend the days! It really was a pleasure to watch (what a great way to spend 43 minutes in the late evening), thank you 😊
Very enjoyable video Sandy and looked a great walk so well done to all three of you! Weather appeared very kind to you and some lovely camp sites. Thanks for sharing.
What a great video and what a great crew to take along with you Sandy. It looks like you all had a wonderful and memorable time out there. I am sure that the feet were sore and the body very tired but no doubt worth it all. So nice of you to take the camera with you in order to allow us to see the experience too. Thank you for doing that. Stay healthy, stay safe, and enjoy the outdoors. See you on the next one my friend.
Well done guys. You had fantastic weather throughout! I would love to do just a short bit of that and a camp. My feet would never last all of it. Thanks Sandy for the guided tour ;)
Lovely. After a hard week at work watching this is exactly what I need. I live in the South of England not so far from Winchester and love the rolling chalk downlands. Great video. Thanks!
Wow, Sandy! What can I say! Well done on such an amazing experience. And with amazing videos like this who needs a TV. Very inspirational, I need to get myself some backpack gear! All the best my friend. 73s

Brilliant guys❤💪

Did the same about 2 weeks ago, fantastic views the whole way. Well done!
Lovely video ❤
Wonderful Sandy. A delight to watch you walk through the land of my birth. So many familiar places. At Amberley you were very close to my all time favourite camping spot.
I'll leave you with this.
If I ever become a rich man,
Or if I ever grow to be old,
I will build a house with a deep thatch,
To shelter me from the cold,
And there shall the Sussex songs be sung,
And the story of Sussex be told.
I will hold my house in the high wood,
Within a walk of the sea,
And the men who were boys when I was a boy,
Shall sit and drink with me.
Best wishes
Al
P.S. also, you were fairly close to the source of my name.
That was nice Knucker. I hope you become a rich man. Sounds to me that you would be wise with those pennies.
What a lovely pub crawl ops sorry walk. Looks like you all had a great time.
I'd be pleased to make it to just one pub! 🍺 Thank You for bringing us along. So fortunate to have such a lovely countryside.
A brilliant video sandy , a round of 👏👏👏 to the three of you 👍👌🧭⛺

That was wonderful to see the journey Sandy , I’ve often wondered what it looked like. I live just outside Eastbourne.
South downs is a lovely area to walk Anne
I'm a Sussex lad living in Cumbria and you have made me so homesick ! What a great video, Sandy. Well done.
Lovely. After a hard week at work watching this is exactly what I need. I live in the South of England not so far from Winchester and love the rolling chalk downlands. Great video. Thanks!

Hi Sandy, such an inspiring video as always. As you have inspired me to get off this couch, I am going to do this is walk and others.
Awesome trip Sandy! Thank you for sharing the beautiful countryside with us and the nice chats with others along the trail.
Beautiful - the walk, filming and relaxed but informative commentary! I'm inspired to have a go at something like this....
Well done Sandy and the boys looked a great adventure this and the weather was kind. ATB Paul 👍🏻🍻
very good enjoyed it so much
Brilliant Sandy, enjoyed your sojourn tremendously! Obviously your foot has healed, but I am sure the dogs were barking!
Cracking video, loved every moment.
