I lived in Leicestershire for years and have walked parts of the route, myself and a friend are now considering walking it in stages so this is useful thanks
Looks like you had a lot of fun filming this one and I get your reasons for wanting to walk such a local trail - many, many people make the mistake of travelling too far for a "good" walk. I regularly have a bit of 'golf course anxiety' and try to avoid those places where possible... I've found that National Trails are clearly signposted but, even on a quiet day, regular footpaths are rarely any more obvious than your trek across that muddy field. I've been known to wander past displeased golfers! I sometimes find the GPS on OS Maps to be less reliable with a downloaded route. This may be an Android issue... But I often have to connect to mobile data to get it going again, even with the downloaded map open. Looking forward to the second leg. :-)
Walks With Olly Yes it was great fun! And a great example of why you don’t have to go too far for a great day out. Golf courses are terrifying aren’t they 😂 That ‘shhhh - THWACK’ makes me instantly picture black eyes and lost teeth! I’m sad to hear you have GPS issues with OS Maps! I have found it to be much more reliable on iPhone than Android so yours is probably a fair assessment. Hoping to be able to pop out for leg 2 one weekend soon! 😁
Whitwick resident here. I've started to explore our local area and further afield. It's an amazing area. Lived here my whole life and only today explored Charnwood forest on foot! Subbed.
That sounds fab! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm slowly working my way up to heading back out to carry on the rest of the hike after the whole, yanno, virus thing - really looking forward to exploring the rest!
Thanks for your video. I am planning to run the L round this summer ( over a few days ) so it’s great to see your experience before I set off ( probably in May ).
I used this as the warm up to my effort today. Not sure if you will see this as you have unfortunately decided to effectively end your channel. Any chance of a reboot, I'm sure it was destined to become quite big! 👍😉
Brilliant, just this weekend finished the first leg. will certainly watch the remainder for help and guidance , many thanks

That sounds ace! I'm hoping to have done a good few more of the legs by then so I will try to point out any details that might help you. 😉
