Brilliant! Thank you for taking this old lady with arthritic knees along on your adventure. I loved the scenery and am very impressed that you never quit.
Having recently walked 106K around the Isle of Wight in a day, I know how hilly some of the area is. Well done for being persistent and finishing the coastal path. There has been significant erosion on the coast, and parts of the coastline are quite muddy, particularly this year. I am one of those old ladies ( in my 60's😂) but an ultra marathon individual. Age just being a number 😂
Congratulations from two years in the future! I was having a poo evening but watching your epic (never before done) walk has really cheered me up and turned it all around. Cheers cool dude.
Thanks Dude that was a thoroughly amusing experience and a breath of fresh air. I am now officially inspired to emulate your incredibly courageous and unique example. This April I hope to become only the 2nd man ever to walk the IOW path in less than One week.
omg laughing so much when your parents overtook you and your face, crying with laughter had to get my partner to watch it brilliant, had to pause and comment.
This is comedy gold! Your videos are now going international. I'm watching from work in Norway (but live in Brighstone). I must have watched your video 5 times in the last 6 months! Makes me laugh every time!! Keep them coming dude.
love the isle of wight, we used to bring our kids on holiday when they were young, now they are all grown up with kids of there own. we are coming back this year to do all the things we couldn't do whilst entertaining the kids. so i am very interested in your vlogs because i would love to do some of your walks@@cdwc
Loved your sense of humour 😂. It was really nice because it reminded me of iow when I went in February, especially the coastal walks, I may do the whole walk round… one day 😂.
Dad born in Bembridge, also my older brother. Our young brother and I were born Newport. We lived in West Cowes until we moved to Australia in 1957. Will try and visit the island in the future
You most certainly are a Walker . Hope to do it one day, meanwhile I’m content to be a proud member of the club. Keep on schlepping and making us smile. Thank you
Marek proud to have you as a fellow Islander/Caulkhead, Your comical take along the journey was Brilliant! The Island is a Beautiful place and you showed it in all its Glory, Thankyou for all your Stints on TV you should be in Big Movies as you are Talented! 🤘😎🤘
I’m running this route in April. I thought I’ll see what the route is like. At the start with the birthday letter I thought This is going to be weird. By the time you say hi to the swans I think your a legend. I’m settling in for the next 20 mins now. Looking forward to this!
This has brought back memories of when I was on holiday in the Isle of Wight in 2011, always remember thinking that there was so much and so many varied things to do in such a small geographical area and watching this has brought back a lot of good memories (will need to look on my backup drive for the photos now). Got me thinking this is needing a revisit in the next few years as my photo skills and camera have improved. How much did it cost you to hire the red arrows? 9 Sausage baps perchance?
I hope there will be more walks. Do the right thing and see this as a first step on a real voyage of discovery. Walking. It gets easier and easier, and these isles have soooo much to offer a hardy soul who likes a walk. The potential is life-changing.
@@cdwc It was absolutely brilliant. Who knows, perhaps we'll do it again, too. Clockwise and finish just after The Needles, so that we get a grand finale.
One of my favourite Marek videos! Due to my complete incompetence, I have spent the past half a year casually wondering where the Marek walking videos had gone ... then found your walking channel! Never done the whole route but covered a good 75% of it in smaller walks. Loved the way you slated Ryde to Cowes! Diced with death myself between Brighstone and Atherfield! It is mandatory for it to rain between Blackgang and Niton! Fisherman's Cottage is a great location for a jolly summer's evening! Top work and a hilarious watch!
@@cdwc It's arguably been the highlight, and most productive thing from my 'self-isolation'! I've even developed an obsessive-compulsive need to investigate the living daylight out of every quaint village you visit on google maps, as I work my way through a cool dudes walking video.
Enjoyed watching this and so amusing. Well done! I recently started exploring the Isle of Wight, (lived in Portsmouth 20yrs but never really been over there properly before). Am working round it in sections and filming too. It was fun to see your stretch from Freshwater to Ventnor which we did a few weeks ago - lots of familiar sights - even the tame rabbit on the edge of Ventnor! I also stopped for dinner at the Mouse Inn. Great stuff 😀
Excellent. I have just subscribed. It looks as though the cliff has eroded much more than when I did it The dinosaur footprints are incredible aren't they. Stay cool. The packs looked heavy. Great videos. Look forward to watching more of them.
@@cdwc Thanks! I was going to be heading over there again today but unforseen circumstances have meant a postponement 😭 Forming a plan for a couple of weeks time though. Wishing I could retire and just go walking all the time! Am subscribed - you're getting so much walking into your life, very cool 👍😎
Well done. You did a fantastic job. I can sympathise with you, as I celebrated my 40th birthday by walking 97 miles over 7 days, doing the full length of The Kennet and Avon Canal. I too, had blisters, hit that imaginary brick wall and at the end, except for sore feet and leg muscles, felt like I had not done the walk. I also did most of the walk on my own. I think you have given me my next hike, as I will now add IOW to my list to do next year. Regards Peggy 💜💜💜
There are still loads of these vids that I haven't got around to watching. So I've decided to start watching them from the beginning. Oh bloody hell, blisters are horrible so to plough through and do 70 miles was amazing! My chiropodist told me years ago to put surgical spirit on the parts of my feet where I'm prone to them before a long walk. It helps a bit. My son really wants to visit i.o.w because one of his fave youtubers did a vlog from there recently. I went once years ago to visit my mate who lives in Ryde but it was only a flying visit. We'll have to have a hol there at some point.🙂
Good luck with the South Downs Way, make sure you pack those trekking poles and always walk in the grass in the middle of the paths to save your feet. They are my top tips, but you probably know them, already. Good luck I hope you enjoy it.
This was the first of your videos I watched and as i too enjoy walking I decided to take my old buddies on a walking holiday to the Isle of Wight this spring. I've done a variation of your Alton loop but as I live in Bristol getting down to the south coast doesn't happen too often. Keep up the good work and keep making the vids.
Thank you. Hopefully I'll get round the Bristol area to do some walks soon. Might see you about. Thanks for watching the videos, I appreciate it, and stay cool.
Love the scenery and I felt all your pain and then your triumph. It was hilarious and an epic journey. Was that really your first video? It's brilliant. Loved it.
Thank you so much for this fun walking trip. Have you heard of the TransWight Challenge which Scouts/Guides used to do on Mid Summers Eve (Shortest Day/Longest Night) sunrise to sunset? I did it 1985, 27 miles? West to East, an achievement but not much fun in the dark. Perhaps a future 2 day excursion plus beautiful scenery.
Yes that definitely rings a bell. I was in Cubs around that time. 27 miles is a killer. I think it is the route they use for Walk the Wight. Not sure, but will be attempting it soon.
@@cdwc I can verify my blisters had blisters! Maybe the Scouts don't do this walk anymore. God bless you on your walking jouneys. So nice to see the Island, haven't been able to get home for over 2 years 😔
@@cdwc Thank you for the inspiration. You strike me as a similar soul - one who’s happy to be alone with one’s daydreams and stupid thoughts, occasionally free from the pressures of a civilisation you have accepted the obligation to exist within, but need to remove yourself from every now and then for the sake of sanity 😊 I get that same anxiety when well-meaning, perfectly decent people want to interact with me against my wishes, but I’m too polite to tell them to get lost lol. I know I’m the odd one out, not them. Or maybe I’m barking up totally the wrong hymn-sheet. Regardless, thank you 😊 The cost of half a cup of coffee per month is a tiny price to pay for the therapy and spiritual nutrition your videos afford me. Jeez, I sound like a total sycophant lol
I'm joining a group of walkers to complete the 2nd half of this challenge. They started in December 2022 and managed about 37 miles in one day, through ice and snow. Unfortunately there were some injuries due to the conditions. So the decision was made to complete the 2nd half in April 2023. All to raise money for a good cause. Fancy joing us? I've never done anything over 10 miles before and found this video entertaining and oddly motivational so it would be awesome to have you on board xxx
I would certainly like to visit the Isle of White but I very much doubt it would be a case of walking around it - congratulations for actually doing it.
Just do the Tennyson Down bit and the Needles. The South coast is the best. Or you can just go on the 2p machine in the arcade in Sandown and drink some White Lightning.
Very well done. This coastal path is somewhere along on my own list. Good to hear of the bits worth avoiding! Sounds like you possibly bumped in to David Icke with that talk of conspiracy theories... He's known to live on that island, somewhere. Probably underground. Good to also know that the super-fast overtaking lady was willing to lend you essential blister plasters. Hope you get to do some more walking this summer (now that it's possibly arrived) and all the best.
Hi Marek, I'm really enjoying watching your video - you are just like my pals who are not happy unless they have a gripe! My ancient pals and I will be on a week-long walking holiday on the IoW in May 2020 to coincide with the last couple of days of the IoW Walking Festival. As we are all into our 70's can you give us an idea who to contact to be able to perhaps join in with some of the walks? The idea of the coastal path is interesting but some of our group couldn't manage much longer that 8 - 10 miles a day. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give. Regards The Glastonbury Ferryman. P.S. We've been doing these walks for 30+ years and (as a group) have never walked on the IoW! However, I bring my family there when ever I can afford it - usually every other year.
Hello there. Glad you liked the video. You have picked an excellent location for your walking holiday. I don't have any contacts I am afraid. I used a GPS map and planned out the distances. This is a good website: www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Isle+of+Wight+Coast+Path. My advice would be to skip the Ryde to Cowes part as it is just road walking. You could even start at Yarmouth as the south part of the Island is much nicer. So you could stay in Yarmouth the first night then walk to the Needles. There are some great places to stay. One B&B I stayed at in Brighstone has loads of rooms and they even pick you up from the coastal path: westcourt-farm.co.uk/ . The B&B I stayed at in Yarmouth was also excellent: www.medlars-bnb.com/. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.
What is the IOW residents' slang for tourist? I am familiar with grockles or grockels, grocks for short, in the West Country. I recently learned of the IOW term North Island for the rest of the UK mainland.
Thank you for a lovely and entertaining video. I enjoyed it and I had some good laughs too :-) I have walked some of these beautiful stretches, and some day I will probably walk the whole path. My current aim is to walk the whole South West Coast Path. As I am living in Norway I have to do it during summer vacations so it will take a few more years. Subscribed :) Happy walking!
Thanks Torunn. So glad you enjoyed it. The South West Coastal Path is a biiiiiiggggg one. Good luck with it. You must have read 'The Salt Path' all about it. Take care and happy walking!
@@cdwc Sure, I read the Salt Path last year after finishing my 3rd section of the Cornwall part last year. Have also read "The 500 miles walkies" and others. And I am sponsor of the South West Coast Path Association. We have so far done the path from Westward Ho! to Penzance. First aim is to cover the Cornwall coastline. But we have in mind to do it all :) It is pretty stunning! You should give it a go! :-) This year's Covid-19 forced me and my friend to postpone the planned Lizard stretch this year to 2021. We are both Norwegians and living in Norway, so we had to stay home. Hoping it will be possible by 2021.
Thanks Cool dude for the walk. My feet hurt just watching you. IoW looks lovely and hope to come and visit one day soon. Will you be doing the walk anti-clockwise this year? xxx
I used to know this guy in the IOW Ramblers called Harry Peel, who would walk the same number of miles as his age each birthday along the coastal path until he was over 80. He was an e- Durham miner & when we organized rambles, he used to leave old folks (often younger than him) behind if they could not keep up, on account of them being "Tories".
You should be OK if you stock up, the South West bit is the longest without shops. Best to do it in the summer otherwise most of the tourist shops will be closed. Good luck dude.

Watching this guy walk around is weirdly entertaining... Great job man
The Red Arrows celebrating your return! 🤣🤣 so funny Cool Dude!
love nan at the end

Good luck on your adventure cool dude. I hope the weather is good for you and you survive this almost impossible expedition.
The bit around the cliffs with the wildflowers is so gorgeous! Well done on the cool long walk, Marek!
Thanks dude. I would thoroughly recommend a very long walk.
omg laughing so much when your parents overtook you and your face, crying with laughter had to get my partner to watch it brilliant, had to pause and comment.

Cool! I'm from Newchurch and work in Bergen! One of my favourite Marek videos.
Great fun. Thank you. M.
Thanks for watching it dude.
Thanks for the video, I think you have made an excellent film that captures the highs and lows of the coastal path.
Nice one. Thanks cool dude.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful walk - absolutely loved the video!
Thanks cool dude. Glad you liked it.
This is class, nice one
I finished the IOW coastal path on Friday!
Somehow I managed to turn it into 83 miles(!?)
Thank you for the comedy and inspiration! ❤️
Fantastic. Congratulations. How did you manage to add those extra miles? You must be exhausted. Hope you enjoyed it.
Great, bought back loads of happy memories of the island, love the place.
Thank you and mainly thanks to the Isle of Wight.
bloody excellant
Great Content, Thank you!👍👍👍

An excellent video as always and yes the cowes to ryde section is total pants. So is across the middle 😂 The rest tho is sublime :)
I think rich people must have bought up all the beach fronts between Ryde and Cowes which is a shame.
@@cdwc - Agreed, and I know one of them unfortunately 😂😂 Oh to be a rich dude 👍

Got me thinking this is needing a revisit in the next few years as my photo skills and camera have improved. How much did it cost you to hire the red arrows? 9 Sausage baps perchance?

I am going to become an Olympic standard walker by 2020. And yes there will be more walks shortly.
Watched your video again , researching for my plans to complete the path , very funny and informative 😀
Thanks Lisa. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. x
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching.

Hi Marek,
I'm really enjoying watching your video - you are just like my pals who are not happy unless they have a gripe!
My ancient pals and I will be on a week-long walking holiday on the IoW in May 2020 to coincide with the last couple of days of the IoW Walking Festival.
As we are all into our 70's can you give us an idea who to contact to be able to perhaps join in with some of the walks?
The idea of the coastal path is interesting but some of our group couldn't manage much longer that 8 - 10 miles a day.
I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give.
Regards
The Glastonbury Ferryman.
P.S. We've been doing these walks for 30+ years and (as a group) have never walked on the IoW!
However, I bring my family there when ever I can afford it - usually every other year.
Hello there. Glad you liked the video. You have picked an excellent location for your walking holiday. I don't have any contacts I am afraid. I used a GPS map and planned out the distances. This is a good website: www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Isle+of+Wight+Coast+Path. My advice would be to skip the Ryde to Cowes part as it is just road walking. You could even start at Yarmouth as the south part of the Island is much nicer. So you could stay in Yarmouth the first night then walk to the Needles. There are some great places to stay. One B&B I stayed at in Brighstone has loads of rooms and they even pick you up from the coastal path: westcourt-farm.co.uk/ . The B&B I stayed at in Yarmouth was also excellent: www.medlars-bnb.com/. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.
What is the IOW residents' slang for tourist? I am familiar with grockles or grockels, grocks for short, in the West Country.
I recently learned of the IOW term North Island for the rest of the UK mainland.
Yes it is pretty much the same here, tourists are grockles (I don't know the correct spelling).
Super vid buddy.... chuckled all along... really enjoyed it. 🙂👍
Thank you for a lovely and entertaining video. I enjoyed it and I had some good laughs too :-) I have walked some of these beautiful stretches, and some day I will probably walk the whole path. My current aim is to walk the whole South West Coast Path. As I am living in Norway I have to do it during summer vacations so it will take a few more years. Subscribed :) Happy walking!
Thanks Torunn. So glad you enjoyed it. The South West Coastal Path is a biiiiiiggggg one. Good luck with it. You must have read 'The Salt Path' all about it. Take care and happy walking!
@@cdwc Sure, I read the Salt Path last year after finishing my 3rd section of the Cornwall part last year. Have also read "The 500 miles walkies" and others. And I am sponsor of the South West Coast Path Association. We have so far done the path from Westward Ho! to Penzance. First aim is to cover the Cornwall coastline. But we have in mind to do it all :) It is pretty stunning! You should give it a go! :-) This year's Covid-19 forced me and my friend to postpone the planned Lizard stretch this year to 2021. We are both Norwegians and living in Norway, so we had to stay home. Hoping it will be possible by 2021.
Better start planning next years birthday walk,, how about around Stonehenge.
Thanks Cool dude for the walk. My feet hurt just watching you. IoW looks lovely and hope to come and visit one day soon. Will you be doing the walk anti-clockwise this year? xxx
No I did the South Downs Way. Videos coming soon.
If you want to spend the most possible money to travel quite short distances the Isle of Wight is the place Marek.
2:06 - Are the hovercraft still working? I used to enjoy watching those come into shore when I was a kid.
Yes. Probably still the same ones.
Great effort Marek
Thanks dude.
Well done
Amazing
Nice of the Red Arrows to celebrate Cool Dudes walking.
To be honest I was a bit underwhelmed.
They could of least put on the coloured smoke. White smoke was a slap in the face tbh.
PS you’ve inspired me to do the same 👍👍👍. What walking app do you use please?
Go for it. I use Viewranger and downloaded the GPX files.
I used to know this guy in the IOW Ramblers called Harry Peel, who would walk the same number of miles as his age each birthday along the coastal path until he was over 80. He was an e- Durham miner & when we organized rambles, he used to leave old folks (often younger than him) behind if they could not keep up, on account of them being "Tories".
Ha, ha. An excellent story cool dude.
that was enjoyable, would there be enough shops on the way for someone wild camping, particularly thinking about water?
You should be OK if you stock up, the South West bit is the longest without shops. Best to do it in the summer otherwise most of the tourist shops will be closed. Good luck dude.
@@cdwc ok thank you!
:D :D :D hilarious!!! make more!
Thanks dude. There are loads of walks on here. Stay cool.
Oh, well done, mate. xx
You have to subscribe to all my channels now you have an account dude.
Is a pity you could not get from Fisbourne and follow the cost past Barton, Osborne, Norris and along East Cowes sea front
