  • The South Downs Way is a long distance footpath and bridleway running along the South Downs in southern England. The trail runs for 100 miles (160 km) from Winchester in Hampshire to Eastbourne in East Sussex, with about 4,150 meters of ascent and descent. Join me as I witness some beautiful skies, meet some inspirational people and try to navigate yet another heatwave. Part 3 will be out soon so if you're not already subscribed please consider subscribing and hitting the bell icon to receive updates on future uploads. Or don't mate, I'll still be here for you regardless and I send you nowt but love! Namastay hydrated and be kind to yourself.

    Blimey! An influx of Mr Haze this past week. Marvelous.
    One of my favourite things about hiking is the fact that I get to live in my head for a large portion of my time doing it. It's a fabulous way of exorcising some mental demons I think. I call it fly tipping my internal garbage.
    You do you when you walk, brother. You're generous enough to take us with you on your adventures. You don't have to verbally entertain us; to your detriment, too. We're just happy to be there for the ride. ✊✊✌

    I’m a local dude, you were right: you camped near that road, Houghton Forest/ Whiteways.
    I have a couple of regular spots in there but you need to be careful as it’s a busy place 😬 riddled with mtb trails and family walking trails. I’ve been disturbed by poachers in that spot of beech woods you saw that person go into too, which has trails down either side of it but nice broken sight lines and wilder space in the middle. And 1/4 mile away from from your sleep spot a car park and snack kiosk/bogs where all the motorbikes like to hang out on weekends!

    Great video as always! Little tip for finding where you were, when you’ve forgotten. It relies on you having taken a photo (or video) on your phone. Assuming you have location enabled for your photos, each one will show the location it was taken on a map, and in the meta data. I find it often comes in handy! Once you have the pin, you can find it on your OS/Harvey map.

      @@HazeOutdoors you echo the ebb and flow, the yin and yang, the ups and downs we all have in life. Can be having a great day until a memory pops in’t owd noggin about the past and tries to ruin it. What you showed in this video is attrition, plodding through, making the most of it. Was great mate.

    Oí I’ve got a bone to pick with you, you inspired me to do the trail in 4 days instead of 5 and it almost killed me! Only joking mate, it was amazing and I absolutely loved the challenge! I love all of your vids, your honesty humour and humility are most appreciated..
    can’t wait to see your 3rd and final part of the trail..
    Btw I hope the Cotswold is on your list, did it just before this one and it’s just as brilliant! Take care mate peace out ✌️
