- Wainwright’s coast to coast / HIKING AND WILD CAMPING IN THE YORKSHIRE DALES/ ultralight backpacking
Hi again guys! And once again thanks for clicking on my video. A little less moaning in this one lol
A campsite, a front garden and a wicked spot by the river provided my accommodation for the next few nights of my trip. I had a well needed couple of days off to let the swelling on my feet go down and have a little chill time, just what I needed to make the final push.
Part 4, the final part should be out next Thursday so keep an eye out.
Hope you enjoy this instalment, and thanks again for all your support
Special thanks to Claire, @wildbeare who lent me her tent and water filter and also took me to get some boots! Legend! 😊 x
I did this walk to help raise money for a local charity, STARS, who offer support and counselling for children who have suffered a loss.
It’s a great charity and I’ll leave a link to their website below. I’ll also leave a link to the virgin giving page if you’d like to support them, and finally a link to my video explaining why I chose Stars to support
Hope you enjoy
Much love.
Ash

Hey mate wot cracking trip so far mate u can see y I sold my zpacks ages ago now lol plastic bag lol although it’s was a newer version lol I thought it may have been better lol obviously not haha sorry I’ve not wots he’s any of the videos till now mate but I like to binge watch things especially if there only 20 30 mins a peace need a few. To sit and watch in sequence lol. I hope the merrels boots do u well on the rest of the adventure. And I’ll watch it once the last video Is posted mate Welldone so far my friend you done good 👍
How awesome, half way! That's some impressive scenery there.. deffo not just a walk is it 😄 lovely kindness of strangers too. Awesome episode, can't wait for the next one, those cows wanted a piece of Ash 🐮 Bet you're glad to see the back of the Vibrams and the tesco bag hahaha! ps. It's surely pronounced scones. As in bones Xx
Thanks Claire, yeah was so relieved to have a break! Just what I needed 😅
Yeah, that high route was rough, especially so late in the day with a broken body 😂
Thanks again for helping me out up there, much appreciated 😊 xx
Well my granny who hailed from Sheffield always called them scons to rhyme with cons. Think scones like road cones is more of a southern softie thing.
Another good watch 😎👌what don’t kill ya can only make you stronger keep up the good work 😎👌⛺️🙏stay safe keep the faith 😎👌⛺️🥰
Hey mate! Exactly, I learnt a lot from this trip so has definitely made me stronger!
Thanks again for watching
Ash
Beautiful locations. Hoping your feet are better now.. 💯❤👍
Hey Arielle, yes they’re all good now thanks, took a few days to recover once I got back.
Hope you’re well!
Ash
A great film again. Really the adventure!
Thanks so much buddy
Ash
shame you missed Keld. Has a lovely campsite there and super peaceful village!
Superb mate!! Many thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching
Ash
Fair play, your feet looked bad! Well done for keeping going. Nice to see the kindness of strangers, bet that was a great morale boost! Gunnerside is the only place Ive been to, along the the route, quite a unique landscape! Enjoyed this one too, atb Joss
Hi joss mate, glad you enjoyed them mate. Yeah, loved gunnerside, I think if my feet weren’t so bad I would have camped there. Maybe I’ll go back at some point
Thanks for watching
Ash
Nice one Ash good to see you fighting the pain and cracking on mate new footwear and tent and a smile on ya face good stuff mate atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Thanks jimmy mate, definitely what the dr ordered!
Hope your all good mate
Ash
Done the right thing mate, its bloody hard going on dodgy trotters
Yeah man, bloody vibrams! Lol, such an epic walk tho, actually thinking about doing it again in a few years 😂
Awesome 3
Thanks 3 😅😉
Nice one Ash, I`m sure you were ready for that break pal !
Cheers Martin! Yes… definitely, it made all the difference 👍🏼
Glad you managed to get some better footwear, I think you'd have struggled to finish on the vibrams. Looking forward to the next part 🙂
Thanks Ed, yeah definitely wouldn’t have been able to. Couldn’t even get the bloody things on 😂 thanks for watching mate
Ash
Hi mate found your channel was us you met at Ravenseat farm ,you had a problem with your knee then we met you again in the beer garden when your feet were swollen,bet your really glad you did not see us again lol
Hello Raymond! Was nice chatting with you guys! How did the rest of your trip go? I had another day off after we saw you in the pub then got some decent boots for the remainder
Nice to meet you and your wife on the way
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK Rest of the trip went well Kath's knee held up we had a rest day in Whitby before going back to Grosmont. Really enjoying your films and was great to meet you .
@@raymondwraith7681 good to hear mate, we’ll done to you guys for completion it, such a fantastic walk isn’t it!
Pleasure meeting you both too! Say hi to Kath for me
Ash
About time you turfed those silly ninja shoes, I have a pair of Merrels and they have been aces. Another great film mate.
Yer never gonna get laid wearing Merrels...... but super comfy and well designed/constructed 😊👍
I love them mate! Saved the trip for me really
You were talking about solitude & absolute silence..... just as the curlew started calling in the background 😉. It did look proper boggy in some spots there. 😬‼️Farknell!!! Looks like you used the air line at the petrol station and over-inflated your feet😱‼️😍. Nice new footwear!! They make very well made, comfy footwear. Stopping was a no-brainer, no good screwing yourself up for weeks to come. Nice that them folks had you over & fed you too😊👍. Y'got balls bigger than King Kong!!
Thanks Billy! Yes, the rest days were definitely in order!
Thanks as always mate
Ash
Nice one man , looked like you needed that chill time awesome adventure. Looking forward to next one 👍 scone, fastest cake in the world 🤪 anyway well done .
Lol, thanks mate! Definitely needed the rest time!
Thanks again for watching
Ash
Showing some real grit! Good man! And barely moaned at all 😜 Ever looked at Vivobarefoot shoes instead of Vibrams, I love mine. Keep gooinngg!!
Cheers buddy! Yeah I have vivos but get bad blisters on them, thought I’d try the vibrams, paid the price lol!
Thanks for watching
Ash
Your feet mate 😲😲 You can't beat Merrell boots... It's all I wear, last forever and when they start to go, use them for work👍 Good shout to get a mate to drop off a decent tent 😉 Mate you need to watch out for cows, especially if they have babies with them, a guy in the village next to me was trampled to death last year and his dog too.... he'd been walking through that field for years but you can't trust them cows... you had a lucky escape. Enjoying this series Ash, see ya soon 👍
Mate, I hated cows anyway, this has just confirmed that fact! Yeah, the tent situation was a pain in the bum, thanks to the wild one for sorting me out 😉 have a good weekend dude x
Buy an air horn off Amazon works a treat
Good going Ash.
Sometimes you need a bit of luck, like someone letting you camp in there garden.
Grub looked good n all.
Hi Gary! Yes mate, was a right touch lol, some good people out there!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Glad your feet are on the mend.
Thanks mate,
Looks like deserved and earnt that one night of luxury. Good to see you were able to keep going, where others might've given up to return another day.
Looking forward to the next. Thanks again for sharing and all the best.
Thanks olly mate, was glad of the rest I must admit!
Thanks again mate
Ash
I take my hat off to ya mate👍
Cheers buddy
That was a tough watch, i could see the struggle.
Humans can be so nice sometimes, the nice chat when you was eating and then the garden camp site, lovely moments to remember in a life.
Fair play for keeping going xx
Sure is mate, I take it all back what I say about people 😂 thanks for watching sir! Have a great weekend x
Looks absolutely awesome and well done for battling through! Your poor old feet!! Can’t wait for the next one!!! 😍
Thanks Karen! Lol, yeah they were battered weren’t they 😖 thanks again for watching
Ash
Laurence & Hilda, you are absolute legends 🙌
They sure are 🤙🏼
Great hike.
That was nice of them to let you camp in their garden.
I hope you get some rest and repair/recover time.
It was so good of them! Yes, the rest was needed! Thanks for watching
Ash
Loving your trip, so much so I went along to Reeth and Muker yesterday!
Ah I love reeth! Some fond memories from their now! Hope you enjoyed it?
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK yes, and I did shout “MEDIC!!” 🤣😆
Stunning . I walked that solo about twenty years ago , it was one of the happiest times of my life .
It’s an amazing walk isn’t it
I’m sure I’ll do it again some day! Thanks for watching
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK it was great , I was on a right downer leading up to it and the isolation was a god send . Crappy old Millets , heavy arse equipment and a pair of old paratrooper boots made it tough going .
I did the the Freedom trail across the Pyrenees a few months later on the back of it all youthful and inspired .
Besides the scenery , the video theirselves were great , brilliantly filmed , cut and entertaining mate .
Nice one
Great series of videos, definitely a tough trek! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Liz! And thanks for watching
Ash
Well done Ash. Already looking forward to part 4... 👍👍
Thanks Darren! And thanks for watching
Ash
Good going Ash! I bet you was glad to have some refuge near the end of this one. Nice people do still exist in this world 🙌 I don't blame you for taking 2 days out to get yourself sorted. Enjoyed this all so far 👍
Thanks again buddy, glad you’re enjoying them steve
Ash
That hotel room must have felt like heaven and so nice those people gave you food and the beer at their house! Great drone shot of you stone skimming. Great video Ash. Ben
It did mate, really needed the rest! Thanks for watching, Ben
Ash
Nice one Ash, back on track and all sorted. Swaledale is stunning and I had 2 weeks in Reeth in 94 one my favourite holidays.
Cheers.
👍❤⛺🌞🍻
Thanks Dave, yes reeth is so nice! Was a great couple of days I had there
Thanks so much for watching
Ash
Can't wait for part 4 Ash. Proper adventure with highs (and lows) this.
ATB Pete Great achievement

Ash
Great story. I admire your down to earth style. Really look forward to your kit review at the end if it all which will help those of us who hope to follow in your footsteps :)
Thanks mate! Much appreciated. Yes, already filmed the kit rundown
Few weeks before I put it out yet 🤙🏼
Well done man.

How nice were those people to let you camp on their lawn and feed you..so nice
I like how you broke this adventure into parts with previews..take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Thanks sue, yes was super kind of them! Some great people out there!
Thanks again for watching
Ash
Those feet didn't look like they had any more miles in them. Very good call to take a couple of days rest.
And nice strangers are a total win!
It all worked out perfectly to be honest mate! Luckily for me lol
Thanks for watching
Ash
Mate
Beautiful scenery,,
Ur doing well,,
Glad u got some support boots,,,
Don’t mean to bang on about ya feet,,
I been there but in me 50’s and I’m paying the price of those days
Lol
Well done bud
👍💪
Thanks mate, yeah so glad I got some proper boots lol
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Good to see you upbeat mate. Those 'plates of meat' definitely looked like they needed a couple of days off. No point rushing it, getting injured, and having to abort before you finish, it ain't a race, enjoy. Looking forwards to the next one. (Cows, man I bloody hate cows...!)
Thanks mate! Lol, yeah the cows put me on edge too 😂 thanks again pal
Ash
Beast 💪
Lol wounded beast 😂
Wow!!!.....Fantastic effort your doing with those badly swollen feet😯...... Loving this series, huge respect to you sir💪💪💪💪...... All the best 🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺
Thank you buddy! Really needed the little rest, so glad I swapped the boots and tent lol
Thanks for watching
Ash
Looks brutal but absolutely stunning. I can imagine when tired and aching its hard to appreciate it, but you must now look back and think what an experience. Amazing mate.👏🏻
Thanks mate, yeah I loved looking back at all the footage, in did take it all in there too. That’s why I like making the videos to be able to look back on
Thanks for watching
Ash
You were noticeably relieved Ash after the couple/garden, rest and Merrells. Good going. Mark
Thanks mark! Really needed to rest, and definitely needed the boots. Thanks for watching mate
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK A pleasure. Full view sat back with a brew.
Kämpa på! (Keep fighting!) Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Good morning from the U.K. 🇬🇧 hope you are well
Ash
Well done Ash. Looks like those rest days were just what the doctor ordered. Great to see you back in good spirits with a new pair of boots. Those cows looked a bit fearsome at the end. Look forward to watching part 4 to see how that unfolded 🙈 🐄
Thanks mate! Yeah the boots saved my butt for the rest of the trip lol
Thanks again for watching
Ash
Well done mate, strong mental attitude & glad you doing well, almost there. Keep strong, the reward will be amazing feeling once at the end 👍👏
Sure was buddy! And thanks so much for watching
Ash
Another amazing episode. How you kept going with your feet so swollen is impressive! Hope the boots do the job for you. Good luck and looking forward to the next part. Great job Ash!
Thank you 🙏🏼 the boots made all the difference
Thanks again for watching
Ash
Wow well done Ash how you've made it that far with your feet like that I dont know but good on you
Great video yet again mate cant wait for the final push ,I feel your pain with the knee 💪💪👍🏴
Thanks mate, yes, through the toughest part now, was slightly easier in part 4
Thanks for watching
Ash
Finally getting a chance to catch up, your poor feet! I'm glad you took some proper rest time, that little camping spot looked a perfect place to just chill out and rest, hopefully you were able to enjoy the rest of the walk with some supportive boots. Well done for never giving up! I am off to watch part 4 :)
Thanks mate, yeah the feet sure took some abuse 😅 glad you liked the vids buddy
Ash
Hi Ash great video glad you got your Boots 🥾 mate. Cheers Jc.
Thanks john, yes, boots made such a difference
Thanks for watching pal
Ash
The feet look battered mate, good effort keeping going. Would have been tempted to jump ship. Looked refreshed after the rest, cheers, Si
Hi mate, yeah I was close… rest day came at the perfect time lol.
Hope you’re good buddy
Ash
Omg Ash.
You should be super proud of yourself to keep pushing when you are in so much pain .
Great vid mate
ATB Graham
Thanks Graham, was such a great trip, dispute the moans 😅
Great progress Ash, super good. You have done so well. The break was a top idea. Really looking forward to the next part. Cheers, W :)
Thanks mate, yeah it did me the world of good. Last video of it next week, a bit sad really
Thanks for watching
Ash
Ewh, you could use a trip to the nail salon... hello, I could smell those monsters from here! lol Love the Get up and go, but we are getting older Ash... take it easy and don't hurt yourself! Great Stuff though, lol the Cows are acting like it's feeding time.
Lol, they weren’t a pretty sight were they lol!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Great video again 😊 Your poor feet though!! Was it Ravenseat Farm from Our Yorkshire Farm? It’s actually one of the only programs I enjoy!
Yes!!! That’s the one! I need to find the program and watch it 👍🏼
@@AshOutdoorsUK they seem like a great family. Think it’s on the 5th series now, their kids characters have grown and they are the stars of the show really 😊
Lol, you're having a bit of a toughy Ash. Did the couple find you on here BTW? 7:30 that's looks a rough section mate. 😬 Can't believe how lucky you got pitching in the garden and getting fed and watered, but no shame in using campsites either, it's more about completing the trail. Fook Insta. 🤣
Hey mate! Yeah, he fond me and has commented, and yes, was really lucky with the garden, I was ready to pitch up on the park bench 😆
Thanks again for watching mate
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK nice one mate. 😁
Cracking little series so far Ash, really enjoying it mate, your smashing it as well…looking forward to the next part, was definitely a well deserved rest haha, cheers, ATB, Luke
Hi Luke! Thanks mate, yeah really enjoyed it buddy, and the break sure was in need!
Thanks for watching
Ash
Fastest cake in the world.... S...gone (pronounced skon Oop north 🤣🤣) I recently did crackpot hall, and plan to return to Gunnerside Gill very soon pal 👍 could definitely tell your batteries were running low, I definitely plan on getting a trekking pole tent, probably the Lanshan 2, but I reckon they are not best used in all conditions, the msr will definitely serve you better. One day I may be up to a challenge of this calibre, might be a while though, just done Helvellyn and literally can't move off the sofa #middleagesucks 🤣 keep up the awesome work buddy, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Hey Paul mate! See your photos on Facebook, looked amazing!
Yeah, I’m never taking a trekking pole tent up high again lol, msr all the way for mountains.
Skons from ooop north 😂 love it… I’m still one the fence with this one
Have a good day mate, and thanks for watching
Ash
I'm new to the channel, loving this series - I've seen other videos of this walk (by the chap who shouts at dead animals, nice homage btw) and it looks brutal. I wish I was fit enough to have a go myself but I'd need a year to train, so thanks for taking me along via your camera.
Hi Jon! Welcome to my channel, and glad your enjoying these videos, I loved the trip so much (my feet didn’t) 😅
Are you referring to haze!?? 😅 MEDIC ??
Have a great Christmas mate
Ash
Loving this series mate. Great effort so far. Good couple of days rest seems to of got your mental spirits up. So good on you bud.
Looking forward to the next one
ATB Adam 👍👍
Thanks adam! Definitely needed the R&R
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
We say 'Sconn' here in Oz for the scone baked goods....but 🙃...the place name of Scone here is pronounced 'Scoan' 🤔😆, that's Aussie for ya...!
Lol, I’m still undecided on which one it is lol!
Hope you’re well Kaz?

Well done again Ash 😎 and so glad you ditched the hobbit foot wear 😂😂😂
Lol, me too! Thanks buddy

Awesome content and achievement, you should be so proud of yourself mate doing this walk, brilliant mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍⛺️🏕👍❤️
@@stuartchester6899 Ash’s channel if different to Abbies it’s not meant to be like her channel, Ash does his own thing as do other channels. You watch and follow Ash because you like his content and style of content not because he should be like some one else. He’s out there giving it a go, getting on with it and doing a difficult, long hike which is probably a lot more than you do, it’s always easy to criticise than do !
Thanks for the comment mate, much appreciated
And sorry about the troll, he’s been all over this video like a rash so is now blocked.
Thanks for watching and your support buddy
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK welcome mate, no need to apologise for some dickhead. Great videos off this hike mate, enjoying watching you go through hell but also chuffed when you battle through and stuff, changing footwear was a definite improvement the look on your face afterwards 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻🏕⛺️😀
Aye, I did the Kirkby Stephen to Keld section last September, and I got some funny looks wearing trail runners so God knows what people were looking at you like in your shoes. Nowt'd help stopping water getting in on that bit after nine standards. I was up to my knees a couple of times.
Mate, those shoes were the biggest regret of that trip! The mullered my feet, and yes, a fair few funny looks and comments! Lol
Such an awesome trail though!
Thanks for watching, Andy
Ash 🏕
Scones. Not Scoans! 😁
That looked a dicey old path just after the 7 minute mark (Gunnerside), Ash 😮
Hat off to Lawrence and Hilda 🤩
Robbing baskets at the hotel 🚔
I know you have done it, but I’m still talking to the screen egging you on 😂
Lol, thanks Tim! Was a wicked adventure
Thanks as always buddy!
If you was a horse Ash they would put you down 🤣 well done kid for pushing through been a great set of vids so far 👌 atb daz
😂 thanks Daz! Yeah I actually think you’re right lol (glad I’m not a horse) 😆
Bloody hell Ash , looks like your breaking them feet in for a hobbit . Great vid though pal , glad to see you getting your mojo back . Keep up the good work
Thanks grant mate
You looked like a broken man in the first half of the video, but after that rest you seemed like a new man 💪🏻 great video mate, looking forward to the next one👍🏻
Thanks George, yeah I really was broken! Lol, goes to show how important footwear is
Thanks as always buddy
Ash
Loving your adventure mate. I was gutted you went wrong near Keld as was hoping you would walk through Muker and Gunnerside where I holiday. They also both have a pub!!. Fair play for continuing on with your feet. Without meaning to sound critical I was genuinely surprised when I saw your footwear for the Journey but glad you managed to sort some boots!!
Thanks mate, yeah I’m a stubborn git, if someone tells me I can’t do something then I try my best to prove them wrong… I failed on this occasion 😂
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Good evening sir with the cows you jumped a fence did you have to get back into the field or did you find another way to escape these beasts. Thank you sir for answering my question another very enjoyable segment of the coast to coast video series.
Hi Tom! No, I had to walk round the field lol
Thanks again for watching mate
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK thank you sir for answering my question
Well done mate… cracking on with feet like that.. fair play 👏🏽
Bloody hate walking through cow fields 😬 🐮
Took a couple of notes again 📝 👍🏽

@@stuartchester6899 yeah cheers for that🐮😘🐮… love Woodsman x
Amazing mate, what a machine!
Lol, thanks Rob! Loved it, my sort of thing… stubborn gut that I am 😂
@@stuartchester6899 having watched the entire video I understood it he took the high route to avoid the boggy wet muddy low routes.
@@stuartchester6899 he's doing the walk for a children's charity so yes he's pushed on perhaps when the rest of us would have had a break hence my "machine" comment. As a novice hillwalker myself I understand exactly what you mean about weight and climb am also unfortunate enough to suffer with cartilage issues in my knees so I know when to stop. You obviously know what you're talking about when it comes to walking , perhaps you can upload on your channel a " how to" type video? I would love to see your take on how to do it? Maybe you can do it like ash did for a charity? I would gladly support your efforts.
@stuart Webb where did u go chap , for a experienced hill walk 😂
@@WildCamper I blocked him mate, was being a twat in the comments 🙄 bloody know it all 😅
Wow you gave your self hobbit feet they looked pain full cool vid
Lol, they weren’t really painful, just fat 😂
Forgive my spelling
Had a pint in the Black Bull on Monday,the sign is still upside down.
Lol, didn’t even notice 😂
Another great one Ash, perfect uploading time as well.
And its definitely pronounced scones, scones just sounds wrong 😉
Yes! Scones for me too mate! Lol
Thanks for watching Paul, hope you’re keeping well
You need a pair of altra lone peak 4.5 for you feet I’ve never looked back
Thanks mate, I’ll look into them for the future. Was pleased to get some proper boots for the last half of the trip
Thanks for watching and commenting

I thought you'd forgotten part 3 😁👍
Ohhhh no… here it is 😅
Awesome ash ! Bet the river was nice on the swollen feet ! Hats off to you for keeping going ! Cows horrible little fuckers ! Had a few bad experiences myself lol 😂
Yeah… was so nice dipping my feet! And the cows!! They scare me 🤣
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
Dude! Wise decision to stop to recover. Was thinking of getting some of the vibrams but don’t think I will now. Do you think you’d have had the same issues setting off with boots from the start? In any case, great vids so far and well done. I’ll sort you out some sponsorship when I get paid. 🥾🥾
Mate, I love the vibrams, but for multi day hikes, the distance and terrain in consideration they were a bad choice! If I’d have had the boots from the start I doubt I’d have had the same issue.
I just wanted to prove a point that I could use them to walk across the country in… I failed 😂
I still love them for day hikes and my runs!
Thanks for watching mate
Ash
@@AshOutdoorsUK I’ve been looking at the vivobarefoot. Perhaps they’re somewhere in between. Look forward to the next videos.
I used vivos on a 50 mile hike a couple of years back… got really bad blisters 😂 I’d say try a few good hikes out in them before a really long one 😬
Jesus pal. Them feet have took a hammering. Well done for soldering on. Be worth it I'm the end.
Thanks ant! Yes, glad I didn’t give up!
Thanks for watching
Ash
Mega again. Really inspiring. Can I ask what you use to keep charge in everything?
Thanks mate… it’s just a 20000 MA charger pack from Amazon, cheap and cheerful but lasted well, charged that up at the two pubs I stayed at 🤙🏼
Hi Ash. Do you think you did too much mileage early on and this caused the swelling?
Just wondering as I’m hoping to C2C in September…
Good vids 🖖
Hello mate, no, was solely down to the footwear. Not enough support for the terrain. Flew once I had proper boots 👍🏼
Good luck when you do it mate
@@AshOutdoorsUK 🖖
Ash I've just been watching 'wild camping in heavy rain & wind'
Can't help but notice your wearing very thin toe showing shoes..are they really that comfy you can walk all that way in them? I've looked at them a few times but thought they were for bouldering or wall climbing 🤔
Good on you btw for continuing xxx
Hi danni… I love them, they’re so comfortable but definitely not for long distance hikes over multiple days!
Would be great for bouldering and rock climbing, yeah 👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Ash
Hi Ash, from an ex-squaddie, well done for pushing through the pain barrier. I too intend to do this hike, although I will be doing it with my year old Siberian Husky. Do you have any advice regarding taking my dog mate?
Hello mate, thanks, did actually feel like giving up at one point lol
Ah that would be cool with your dog, I’d just say take it easy with the dog and allow enough time, you’ll love it though, such a great walk
Ash
Definitely sgones only posh buggers say scones
😅 well I live in Cambridge so that definitely makes me posh!?? 😆🤔
@@AshOutdoorsUK not with them shoes and that accent
That was tough Ash, I don't know how you got those swollen feet into new boots, did you buy 2 sizes bigger? I think when I attempt this I'll start off at more steady pace to get used to it for first few days.
@@stuartchester6899 I look forward to watching your video of the Coast to Coast or similar walk as it sounds like you could really help us amateurs with your tips and experience 👍😄
Hey mate, thanks for commenting and yes I get half a size bigger than I normally would 😂
Sorry about the troll, he’s been pestering a lot of my subs on this video so he’s now been shown the red card 😂
Thanks for watching
Ash
Don't know why people who do this, feel the need to do 20 plus miles per day. Little bit of advice: take a chill pill, relax, take time to smell the flowers, enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed, drink a few more beers.
Hi madcat, firstly I have children and need to work to pay my bills so time wasn’t on my side, don’t get me wrong I’d have loved to take a leisurely two weeks to complete it and smell every flower I pass. Secondly I’m very much into my health and fitness and like to challenge myself so 20 mile days are a good workout for me. My choice of footwear was my downfall on this trip. Next time I’ll prepare a little better but would still do it at the same pace, that’s the way I like to hike.
@@AshOutdoorsUK Fair do's mate.
It is scone as in own, before you eat it, once you eaten it, scon.... see what I did there?
🤣 lol I see what you did best of both worlds there lo
The scone is gone. The drone's with the bone. Isn't English weird?
😂 yep, sure is lol
Would. You. Look. At. Those. Feet.
Damn. Good on ya for pressing on!
Lol, cheers mate! Got there in the end!
