    I did not know about this channel Sandy, I only knew about the knife channel. I am in awe over your feat, accomplishing this long hike with your good friend Tony. You are in incredible shape. You are an inspiration to me. Seeing you do this has inspired me to go 1000 yards from 500. I know I can do it and I will. This happens to be a second chance at life. I will take full advantage and succeed. I’ve had a long recovery and feel ready after watching this video to take the next step. Thank you very much. Tony

    Goodness; what a video. I love the camaraderie, and your knowledge of the areas in which you hike. The drone photography and music choices contributed to making this video enthralling; so well done...it will be quite a while before I am finished sharing this to everyone. In my humble opinion, this is a new standard of RUclips hiking videos. All I can say is "Thanks!". :) Greetings from Georgia, USA.

    Thanks Sandy for yet another super brilliant vid of the Ridgeway, you are such an inspiration even for us older codgers! And the twist on how we think about our endeavours at the end of the walk was just about perfect, the norm now is being at the start of a new adventure and not the end of the last one......outstanding!!

    Wow, great trek there Sandy. To have done that 4 times is an absolutely amazing accomplishment that you should be very proud of. It takes a lot of determination and dedication to fight through the steep inclines and declines and rough terrain for 87 miles. Thanks so much for taking your cameras with you to share this great experience with us. Take care my friend and enjoy those beautiful outdoors. You have some great friends there to hike with you.

    When you mentioned the pill boxes it reminds me of when I pointed one out to my wife many years ago and she honestly thought they were like some sort of old rural pharmacy which didn't have very big windows. She doesn't watch war films......

      Stephen Smith yes, we went from having regular bulk carriers for Didcot and sometimes Dracks power station to nothing, like I said, it’s hit us the pocket slightly but luckily the port always finds something to replace lost trade!
      My father was asking me the other month about Kingsnorth powers station in Medway, kent, he worked on the chimney and had to climb it free hand, a bloke he was with was killed at the top after something fell on him and they had to leave his body up there until the next day, that’s also been pulled down and he couldn’t believe it after all the effort of building the place!

Well, I bet it was nice to go back over the lay of the land and history. Certainly their was plenty of it. Good on you both and Tim for showing. Full play - All the best. Mark

Had to use wellington boots and a leather jerkin.The safety rope guy kept pulling hard on the rope it was an effort to climb downwards . Best Wishes,nice video to watch and learn from.Thankyou.
