    "I've just done a big one... hill, that is..." - found that far to funny! The hut with steps is clearly a lifeguard lookout for when sea levels rise - the downs being a great place to look out over the south east UK sea! Enjoying the series

    Nothing like an epic walk for sense of achievement and pride in your stamina. I did easy versions, along canals. Perfect for avoiding hills! Beautiful glimpse into the route - Thanks for sharing Marek and clear to see why you are the leader of the Cool Dudes Walking Club!

    Hi there, im really enjoying this series, going to watch all of them as im planning to do this walk once things open up. BUT I want to pick out one thing you said I think in the first video that you are 44 and have about 10 years left to hike. Unless you have a specific health issue this isnt true. I know many hikers and can tell you there are people in their late 70s tearing up and down the most brutal mountains in scotland and smashing out some serious mileages. Im about the same age as you but speaking to much older hikers they basically tell me the same thing, what you do in your 40s will be what carries with you through the next 30 years. So the goal is to spend your 40s becoming a hiker and then dont stop. One thing I noticed among older people that hike regularly and well is that no one ever told them to slow down so they never did. Anyway all the best and looking forward to more videos from you, about to subscribe, sorry for long comment but I dont think you should just let society dictate what you become.

    • @cdwc
      @cdwc  3 года назад +1

      Thanks dude. I was just being pessimistic. Hopefully I will be able to hike until I am 56. Stay cool and good luck with the hikes.

    Really enjoying these mate, I feel your pain with that heavy pack

    • @cdwc
      @cdwc  4 года назад +1

      I used everything in my pack so I don't know how these people get it so light. I suppose my camera stuff weighs about 750g. But the ultra ultra light stuff costs about a million pounds.

    • @Deketh
      @Deketh 4 года назад

      @@cdwc Yeah it is expensive, also it's pretty flimsy sometimes so definitely doubts on longevity too. I get mine to around 12-13kg, that's with no camera gear though. Having a water filter helps so you don't have to carry too much water with you but lowland water sources can be too grim for that

    Sticking Spit Bottom, I believe, is what occurs after multiple nights of dining on camping meals!
    I remember that hill from the very start - the South Downs love those! Seems like you were enjoying the walk more by this point, even with the heavier pack.
    Looking forward to Part 4. All the best.

    Such beautiful views all the way around! The breath of fresh air (except when you're walking up a hill)...lol. There would definitely have to be a couple more benches because, if I sat on the ground to take a break, I'd never get back up again lol. Just tie me to a sheep and have it drag me up a hill and then give me a swift push to roll me down the other side lol.
