I own both of them, stainless and iron. since many years. The iron type is a bit sharper, but when you cut onions never cut an apple after. Taste is awful! In Germany the #8 is illegal too in cities, stations etc. For longer hikes, camping etc., I carry both of them. There is no need for a "big - multy purpose" swiss knife, better take a simple one.

We are giving this a huge thumbs up 👍. As we have already watched, and said, one of the best through trail videos we have watched on you tube 🙌. Full of emotion, ups and downs, and topped off with a little bit of trail magic 👌. Great idea to compile into a feature length film. We would recommend anyone to watch, whether you are planning your own coast to coast adventure, or you just want some great entertainment, perfect 😊🙌. Shell and Pete

Absolutely brilliant, well done Ben 👍

Loved watching your hike in stages as I complete it myself (one more day for me), especially since I had a very similar shin problem that I had to manage. Great work man.

Your content is so unique and simply beautiful! Brilliant work man! ⛰️⛰️

Videos like this are the exact reason I much prefer KZbin over TV. Great stuff 🤝

Great job! That was a tough one. What's next Ben?

Congratulations Ben! Absolutely incredible achievement! You are a star! Donation sent via PayPal to your just giving.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well done fella 🤜🤛

I think what you’re doing is fantastic. God bless you 🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🏕️🏕️

Ben what month was it?

Well done Ben - that’s a great achievement, and you did so well to keep going through the injuries and illnesses.

Absolutely outstanding achievement, and series Ben🙌. You dealt with everything you had thrown at you with such strength of mind and purpose, a man on a mission! This is one of the best through trail series we have watched, we felt right there with you the whole way, quite literally through all the ups and downs, and even felt emotional watching you walk your last mile and complete your epic journey🥹. You did your dad proud. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, Shell and Pete 🤗🙌

Awesomeness, amazing achievement 💪 I know it’s not easy. Many people don’t make it .

Congrats on finishing the walk. On a good day you can see the sea from when you first crest onto the open moors (about 4:30 in your video) - but then you realise there's still 3 or 4 days walking to final goal and the excitement quickly fades. Thanks for the vids. Next year I may do an E2W crossing (and then walk the 4 miles from St Bees to home at the end) - mind you, it'll be B&B to B&B - none of this camping lark.

Such a pity you missed 9SR and the bogs - great part of the adventure - I sunk thigh deep in one of the bogs - when the heavens opened at Ravenseat I didn't bother with the waterproofs and just allowed the rain to wash off the peat.

How much does it cost ???

My advice - if its wet avoid the decent from Kidsty - follow the ridge parallel to Haweswater - the decent at the end is steep but grassy so less harmful if you do slip.

As part of the adoption, I think the path is due to go on the northern side of Ennerdale. Living only 6 miles from Ennerdale and with views out across the Irish Sea, I can agree whole-heartedly - the weather can change in a few minutes - not uncommon for it to be dry at the W end of Ennerdale and phishing it down at the E end. Walked the route Sep 22. Such a pity you didn't camp at the YH - I think they have a drying room you can use.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. What a journey and it was a privilege for us to come along. Thank you Ben for all the hours of filming and editing, the highs and lows, the challenges and moments of joy along the way were wonderful to share. And this was August 😮 I can’t recall a month like it and it’s credit to your mental strength to have got through the Lake District in what I consider appalling conditions. Congratulations 🎉 That was a bit emotional watching the slipway appear. Fantastic for PCUK too. nice one Ben 👍

Really well done, mate. You should be proud of that. Really enjoyed following along. Atvb Dan

Great stuff Ben, well done, and thanks for sharing the journey with us

Well done Ben. Truly remarkable 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is on my radar for 2025 so interesting for me to see your experience. Many hikers! I completed Glyndwr’s Way (Wales) just a couple of weeks ago. It is a national trail but is the least walked. 135 miles in 9 days and I saw only 2 other hikers!

Congratulations Ben. You should be super proud of completing the journey and raising funds for a worthy cause close to your heart. Well done and see you on the next one 🙌

Well done Ben !!! atb.

👏 👏 👏 and hugely emotional. Brilliant.

Hi Ben,many congratulations on completing the C to C,you had everything thrown at you,bad weather & injury but you stuck at it,thanks for taking us along,atb Colin P.👍

Thanks for taking us along, really enjoyed that. Congrats on the crossing 💪👍

Well done. A fantastic achievement for a fantastic cause. Enjoyed following your journey and the highs and lows. I walked the Pennine Way a couple of years ago and totally relate to that final day emotion after so many days of walking. The realisation of what you’ve just achieved and that it’s about to end is very overwhelming. I recorded my journey too and it’s great to watch them back later down the line and relive the memories. You should be very proud of what you’ve just achieved 👍

Well done, fantastic effort. I’ve enjoyed watching all the episodes of this series and your challenges through physical, mental and emotional ups and downs. Hugely inspirational 👍💪👏

Well done! Really wonderful to raise so much money for a cause that is so close to your heart. Amazing videos too.

Congratulations, what an amazing achievement, I am so proud of you Ben , 192 miles of endurance, pain , happiness and kindness, you are an inspiration to others, great video buddy.

C2c is no joke completed a couple of weeks ago , day one is easy compared to the rest I did it in a storm 😢

Trail magic is a beautiful thing , glad you took some zero days off to let that leg settle down. But what a fantastic area to hike. The campsite at the end looked amazing, great video buddy.

The weather 🌦️ has not been kind to You on this trip , but fair play you just keeped going. Enjoy this video. What a fantastic 20 miles done ✔️

Your best video yet on to part 2

Epic, Ben. Great admiration. Huge Achievement.

Well done sir!

Brilliant effort. Some tough going, injuries, weather and yet you finished with a smile on your face! So pleased for you.

Massive congrats Ben. Watched the last part with some a sense of willing you over to RHB. Celebratory GoOutdoors ready meal😂. Well done. Great effort 👏👏👏. I remember the sense of achievement reaching the coastal section and pride walking down to the RHB causeway to throw the stone into the water. What’s next? 🥾🥾😂

Great achievement. Well done, mate!

Absolute incredible. The whole thing so compelling. You’ve done a fantastic job in telling the story through these films. You complete Legend.
