  • The journey continues on the Find Penguins blog here but this is where the road ends for the RUclips PCT series. findpenguins.c...
    It’s been a blast and thank you so much for following along. Creating videos whilst on trail is challenging and I take my hat off to those who record the whole 6 months. Good luck to everyone who continues their journey North. Hike well my friends

    I had to watch the last one to find out if you made it to the end and you caught your flight! Well, sounds like you took the sensible option given the state of your feet and the trail magic was great payback. Loved the book of pictures/memories you made, that was real cool and brilliant photo at the end, cheers Alan

      I took an extra week of trail angeling back to San Diego and it was a good way to decompress and prepare myself for coming home. Thanks for following along.

    Hi Julia Jukebox! What an amazing adventure! I found your channel completely by chance when looking at reviews for the flextail pump and fell in love with your videos - stayed up to nearly 2am finishing this PCT series. To top it all off I grew up in Milton Keynes, so was so shocked to discover how nearby you're based! Wish you all the best and looking forward to all your future adventures on the channel :)

      I didn’t even notice that I say that until someone pointed it out. 😂 I do say peeps a lot and someone suggested that as a trail name! (But I’d already accepted Jukebox)

    Trail magic seems great! Does happen here in the UK, I guess we dont really have long enough trails and routes to make it worth it! Nice video 😊

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад +1

      I think that the trails close to towns in the UK, with exception to perhaps a few in Scotland. It’s such a lovely thing to do though. Perhaps we should start trail magic in the UK!

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад

      Yes I am! I have a walk-in guide business back home so need to be sensible. I was only planning a section hike from Campo to KM, so I was 50 miles short of my goal 😞

    @paulinew8680 Год назад

    Hi Julia what an amazing end to your walk. Sad that you couldn’t complete it with your trail family but so rewarding to help them all out. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Can I ask how you got printed photos while on trail for your trail diary?

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад

      Thanks for following along.
      The printer is a Polaroid Zip and I use TheuNotes book (waterproof and tear proof). I do it for all my trips as they are such good memories of the people.

      If i'm honest, I am still processing stuff from the PCT. I made some life changing decisions when I returned which i'm not ready to share with the world just yet, but it will come. Thanks for following along.

    • @TheAdventureGeek

    I’m loving this as well. Keep showing what you have been doing. I love that you can be a trail angel now such a different perspective. Also I don’t you have had trouble with shin splints but is that what took you off trail you haven’t really explained it.

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад

      Ah! It was my achillies more than anything. I have a day job in the UK as a walking guide and couldn’t risk rupturing the tendons. Sorry for not explaining it in more detail. I had the shin splints under control with stretching, resting, tape and rubbing them. It was working ok.

    Wow I clicked on this right after you posted! I’ve loved following your journey. Good for you being a trail angel as you travel to SD. I’ll read the rest on FindPenguins. Congratulations- great job! Good look with your feet 💗

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад

      @@TheAdventureGeek what a fantastic way to end your adventure- being a trail angel. What a great way to turn around what could’ve been a less happy ending (are those the right words?) into a very special one. I started following your Hadrian’s Wall videos, because we’re doing that beginning June 24, and then I just couldn’t stop watch your Camino’s, etc. What a delightful human you are. Thanks for the work your doing for Shout and everything else. I’ll continue to follow 💗

      No. She was quite a few days behind me and when I was doing trail magic she was in the middle of nowhere. 😢

      Disco Daddy has a blog which is very detailed. The Royals are on Instagram instagram.com/thetraveleweds_the_royals

    Thank you for sharing your amazing adventure. I hope it's not too much of a blow to have to stop - I know that feeling! What a wonderful thing to do to pay it forward - it made you, all those hikers and your audience happy, everyone wins. Do you think you'll ever pick up from Kennedy Meadows? Either way I will be watching and enjoying whatever comes next.

    Will miss your vids Miss Julia. Probably homesick by now, but kinda surprised some Angel didn't offer to put you up for a few weeks for healing-feet? Seems a shame to fly all that way back home, when the Sierra's kinda rough this month anyway? Another month and Sierra might be more approachable? And feet might heal? Glad to see you rented a car and heading to the much safer San Diego anyway. Safe-travels.

    • @TheAdventureGeek
      @TheAdventureGeek  Год назад +4

      I only had two months off work, so it was always going to be a long section hike for me. Campo to Kennedy Meadows was my goal. I’ll return at some point in the future to continue the journey. Thanks for following.

      DinkyDi took some time out and went to LA so she’s a while behind the group now she did see a bear though which was rather cool!
