#Hiking
Hi Paul, another walk - you're spoiling us - love the fly through at the end - makes us appreciate the length of the walk. Great to see you out again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent.. and that virtual mapping at the end is really interesting and certainly gives a flavour of the farmland around the route and thus limited water opportunities. Cheer Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good to see you on another trail. I probably will never walk it I curious about adventure and will be watching with interest.
Take care,
Seb
Thanks for watching. Day 2 will be uploaded in a couple of days.
Thanks for another walk! For me it's the second best thing to being out there myself 😁 Never heard of the Ridgeway before and I will put it on the list of walks I should be able to do with my wife 😬 👍
Up until a couple of months ago I hadn't heard of the ridgeway myself.
Nice to see you down this end. I’m based in Dunstable and love the ivinghoe end of the walk. Just walking the icknield way myself which is the 3rd part of the greater ridgeway
it certainly different to hiking in Scotland
I can’t wait for day 2 I want it now this looks a great trail
It should be on RUclips on Friday
Great start Paul looks a decent trail 👣 👌
I was lucky to have dry weather because in places the ground would have been very muddy if it had been raining.
Looks like you had good weather for it👍
Yes, good weather but a little too hot on the second day.
Your doing well getting all these trails in
I like to get a couple of trails in each year.
Nice one that's exactly what i did on the Yorkshire wolds way with the sheep troff i undid the blue pipe from the black valve and got a good flow i filtered it and the water was clear i reckon they use springs or farm water i think the water is ok because you wouldn't give your animals dodgy water looks like a nice walk i think i will try to do it next year 🏕🌅
Yes its a great trail but finding water is a bit of fun in places.
I remember walking past that camping spot last September I had blue skies when I started too
Yes its a nice camp spot but quite popular with the locals. I had dog walkers, cyclists and some people in a land rover that came to watch the sun setting. It wasn't until 10pm that I was on my own.
Paul Willcocks you’ve really improved the editing with your videos look forward to day 2
@@DJVOutdoors Thanks. I know my filming and editing needs improving and it's nice to get feedback so I know its getting better.
Good to see you out again! Loved the trail animation at the end - what software are you using for that?
I use the ordnance survey mapping website.
Hi Paul - water isn't a challenge. There are taps along the way, you just need to know where they are
sorry for the slow reply. I tried to find as much information as possible before I started as to the whereabouts of any water sources but I didn't find much. That's why I tried to show where I found water.
@@PaulWillcocks well done Paul and thanks
Good day, I have some questions. Who are you and what is your profession? Do you plan on doing some winter wild camps as I have seen some videos you made in the past but no recent wild camps. Thank you
Hi, yes I do plan on doing more wild camps.
@@PaulWillcocks wonderful, I’m always interested to learn about you tubers professions and what they do.
Great series , loved it ..i've just bought the Os maps after seeing this..... question though....i can only save my route as a .GPX file.. how do you save it as a video file ,? , also my fly though appears foggy , how to rid myself of this ?
Thanks for your comment but I'm a little confused by your questions, I will try to answer anyway. When you download a file for the OS app it will be a .GPX file. My map fly though section of this video was recorded on my computer and I think to stop the foggy look it could be either your internet connection speed or the graphics rendering power of your computer that is lacking. Hope this helps.
@@PaulWillcocks thanks muchly for the reply Paul , just can’t figure out how to record the fly through as a video file .. my laptop is a top end gaming machine .
@@ThirdDegreeWitchExplores OK now I understand your question. If your laptop is powered with an Nvidia Geforce GPU then you can use their software to record the fly though
@@PaulWillcocks it is … I think I’ve found a way of getting it to work , thanks for the hints Paul , much appreciated .. planning on the Ridgeway yet again in the summer and wanted to copy your idea ;) .
Hi Paul. Have you started the Ridgeway from Pewsey Train Station? Or from Avebury? Cheers!
From Swindon train station I got a taxi to the start of The Ridgeway which is near to Avebury.
Hi mate as I work in this area going to try and squeeze this one during October - can you give me cost of the taxi from Swindon - cheers
It cost £32 from Swindon train station to the start of The Ridgeway.
Good video Paul. Nice scenery. Like the graphics at the end! How useful do you find the chest pack? Thought about getting one. ATB
Very useful. I keep my camera, phone and snacks in it.
Are you filming on phone or camera ?
Hi Phil. I filmed this hike on a GoPro Hero 8 but I must admit that I haven't got the setting quite right yet.
If you wish to know if water is off the mains just put your finger over the tap and see if you can stop it .if it’s off the main s you will not be able to stop it
What is the app you are using (Maps )
It's the Ordnance Survey app
