    Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Fatigue: 4/10 - I know I’m tired before I even start walking!!
    Ease of terrain: 4/10 surprisingly found some of the uphill sections tough going.
    ⭐️Highlights: new walk. New challenge. No pressure re distances and time. Walking with Gemma again (make sure to check out the vlogs from the coast to coast). Setting up the tents when it was dry before it started raining again.
    🏔️Challenges: the weather 🌧️. Stomach issues (had some gluten/wheat food over the weekend. Stomach is still not happy), super tired 🥱 (I think I’m anaemia- I’ve got a blood test next week to check). Period 🩸 it’s all going on! Ahhhhh 😫😩 plus add in the hills…
    💭Thoughts: although it rained on and off all day. It’s been fun! Plus I took an umbrella ☂️ which has been a game changer. I love it!! Big fan!! Do you hike with an umbrella?!

      thank you so much! apologies for taking so long to get new vlogs uploaded - I wish I could promise that I will be more consistent - but I'm not sure it's going to happen until October this year - but then I will be on it with the editing!! Expect vlogs from the South West Coast Path and the New Zealand vlogs to come out!! Something to look forward to - thanks again for supporting!

    This should be good, always enjoy your videos. When you was walking in Anglesey you walked through a field with a Lot of cows. You said it’s ok I don’t mind cows. What as happened since then.

      thanks so much - I've got a few vlogs coming out and hopefully a lot more to come. Just need to find the time to edit them lol!! The reason for not liking cows anymore.......I got chased by them - it massively Changes your perspective - it's a really scary thing when you think you are going to be pushed off a cliff by the cows running towards you. When it's never happened to you - it's so hard to explain - there is now just a fear and I keep hearing more and more stories about accidents which happened with cows and how dangerous they can be. They can be scary animals!!

      I belive i have got good will power and i dedication to stick to a plan. But if i am struggling i watch your short video on the Appalachian Trail really motivates me. I know about cows specifically on the costal path like you say its either a cliff one side her the herd the other. Most of the time they be ok. But if one will come they all bloody come.

    That was a perilous start Sarah. Bramble, Bad ass roads and cows. Mind you it was green to the door too and in fine British weather. Nice pitch - that's what I always look for - fields that are left fallow. Farmers c heck on livestock but not fallow fields - all good there. Well, very enjoyable - p2 now. All the best. Mark

    Oh gods. Your comment about if you'd been alone you'd have cried at the camera because of the cows, that would be me. I have bovinophobia (something I have been working on overcoming for years), and would have been in tears, with them being that close.
    I want to love them (they just look like big puppies) but my fight or flight response is heavily skewed to flight where they are concerned.

      I hear you!! I'm fine when they are behind a fence/gate. But being in an open field with them - I'm not a fan at all!!
