Took a bit to get there for the walk but even with the mist it was worth being there and reminding myself how amazing it is.

I agree. It’s pure litter and you get find for that.

@@madmikesworld5713 I like Mylar Foil Balloons and have a collection of them but I never release them and I don't use helium. I heard many places around the world has banned balloon releases in recent years.

Yes it was a shame as it’s a great view. It did sort of clear an hour after I walked down but not a good as my 2022 PW. You just have to make the best of what you have on these type of days.

It’s the only way when people are spending money. You can only do what’s in the box review at the start but you need to try and use a product to fully truthfully review it.

That’s fantastic. If I’m going to do a review then it will be a review! I don’t mind out of the box reviews but you have to use an item to properly understand it. They got some serious hammer during the Cambrian but they got a good soaking during the Cape Wrath Trail and they never let me down.

I’m actually just completing a final part three of the long test that I’ve done on the boots that will be out soon. But they performed amazingly for myself and another walker I came across.

@@madmikesworld5713 Excellent, great to hear this - i've just bought a pair! Just found part 2 of your review but I'll look out for part 3 too. Thanks for the reply!

Part Three is out now.

Thank you for watching the warts and all journey across the country in some horrendous weather and yet I was able to meet the kindest of people.

Certainly a great sight 👍

I’m part way into the final part of the trilogy 😁

And I take the stairs rather than escalators 😀. There is no excuse if you are physically capable of walking etc. We would save so much in fuel and carbon emissions at whatever source it comes from. I’m still protecting the knee but won’t be long before I’m pushing the mileage once more.

@@madmikesworld5713 Totally agree mate, totally agree! 👍

Really hope you enjoy watching them, I admit I love making them.

Part three filmed as they are still going strong 💪.

Thinking of walking more city walks to show what’s there to see.

Excellent as always Mike , many a true word spoken 👍😊

@@Upinthills68 it’s so important that we get out even if for a short walk.

That’s the thing, everything is out there it just needs the get up and go to see it. Out on the New Forest at the moment checking in on the cows, horses and donkeys. 😀

Hi 👋

They are great boots and I’ve walked the cape wrath trail in them this year with no issues.

It certainly was. I think it may have been a dog gate.

Thank you. It’s one of those walks that keeps surprising as it’s a mix bag of styles rather than just a tow path. My knee still isn’t 100% from the tear but I still need to get out there 😁

@@madmikesworld5713 speedy recovery 👍

@Upinthills68 thank you

Thank you. Hope you enjoy them all

Certainly is different I agree but sometimes what’s on your doorstep gets missed and yet others come to your doorstep 😁

Part two will be up soon for you to enjoy and thank you for watching

lol yes they are indeed.

Really pleased you are enjoying them, spread the word.

Always best to stop before things get silly and what could have been an adventure turns into a rescue. On my Cambrian Way videos I also had to pull out with two days to go due bad weather but came back later in the year to complete. We hear so many times the mountains will be waiting and it’s so very true that they are. Next week it’s going to be very dry so would make perfect timing if you can go for it.

You mean Yr Wyddfa rather than Snowdon.

@@madmikesworld5713 diolch, sorry to be a stickler but i was a warden for many years situated at Pen Y Pass ,

Nothing wrong with being a stickler. I did wonder about using the Welsh name but I’m not sure it’s as well known as Snowdon but I’m sure it will be eventually.

@@madmikesworld5713 well that's the beauty of free speech in't it Mike , it's definitely not going to help you gain more interest with its original name , and that's a good reply from you, all the best

I walked it last weekend in what was an amazing day.

@@madmikesworld5713 Nice! We're going next weekend, hopefully the weather's nice!

Have a great adventure. It’s not as bad as people make out and because people use GoPros to film that create a distorted image the arête can look worse than what it is. The climb up what I show as not as steep as it looks is just that. It does look worse than it is but it caution is still needed but you are soon off it. It really is a great walk.

Great around Edale I must admit and was the start of my pennine way

the pristine blue lakes of snowdonia and Smokey mountains is very tempting. We do have lots of scenic places, great for walking and camping ⛺️. From the peaks to the Yorkshire Dale and valleys all the north onwards to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@shahidkhan-kt1ol have you watched my other videos? I have just finished the Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland and there is a few in the dales plus the three peaks 😁

I think it has closed now. It was a journey I maybe doing again but on a different route.

Think this week it’s been ideal for taking in the view 😊. Saying that I set off in ideal conditions but it did cloud over but cleared later.

It really is a special way to go up but only in good weather. Snow doesn’t count as that’s special in its own way but not in the rain. One day when I’m really old I might go by the train but those days I hope are a long way in the future. 😁

Another great video 🎉. If you hadn't said Mordor, I would have. No way I would have taken that path. I'd have turned round before the first scramble. The drops and heights pull at my feet just watching. It's a shame. Born in Grasmere, grown up on a mountain in alpine Bavaria, I've now lived too long in flat country 😢. So I binge watch my mountain walking favourites 😊 What I'd like to know, is the train a cogwheel train like the one up the Zugspitze? Not really important though. Just asking. When you're "too old" and if I'm still alive I'll come with you on a trainride up Snowdon. Should be fun. 😊 Take care Elvira

@medievalladybird394 yes it is a cog wheel. The heights I must admit are mesmerising but always walk safely on that ridge.

That day was hard. Beautiful without doubt but the route was brutal.

We all found ourselves having pizza and beer and all agreed, never that route again.

@@madmikesworld5713 Haha, been there, seen that, got the blisters! 🤣

😁

Yes came across Charles on his second attempt after a few days. Due to the nature of the walk and route we kept bumping into each other along the way. I mostly walked solo but at the end of the day 7 of us would stay roughly in the same location. Even at the end even though we set off at different times and took different routes we all finished at the Cape together.

I know people camp before that final path and there is a brilliant camping spot along that path with an amazing view. It’s not really tough but after a days walking it pulls on your feet due to the rough ground. I new the cafe was going to be open and I did go for it to get there with plenty of time 😁

@@madmikesworld5713 Haha, the thought of getting in to that cafe would have been great to keep you going. It’s the simple things like that on a long distance hike!

I didnt know before I set off if I would make it as it was closed the following day. Things just fell into place for the whole journey. I know how lucky I was with the weather gods. The coast to coast KZbin has a different story to tell if you watch that one.

@@madmikesworld5713 I said to Charles how lucky he was with the weather. I’ll get round to watching them mate. I did the Cumbria Way earlier this year, proper looked out with the weather the first week in May. 😃

Thank you. Hope you enjoy the other routes I’ve done in my own way.

Thank you, and everyone will stay to enjoy I hope their long lives.

I downloaded the route onto OS maps which is all I needed to use on the walk. I would recommend getting maps of areas if you are unsure.

Thank you. I did think I went on a bit lol

@@madmikesworld5713 I think it's that detail which makes the difference from 'just another' walk filmed

@@HomesteadFrance thank you

Thank you

My pleasure. It was really a surprising walk which I hope I got that over.

Always willing to help.

@@madmikesworld5713 Thank you.

Thank you. I never thought at the start when I said, warts and all it would actually be warts and all. A true roller coaster of emotions I’ll confess.

Part Two coming out soon and I’m pleased it helps in planning.

Voice not for voice overs lol 😂
