Is there a good place to cross the A24, say you rode the box stuff then went over to Alfred P, how would you avoid riding on the a24? Cheers.
@bradsorour4884Ай бұрын
Yep, I simply use the pedestrian underpass on the A24. This route goes Headley Lane > Old London Rd (B2209) > A24 pedestrian underpass > Westhumble Street. Hope that helps 🤙🏼

Great video. We started skiing in La Plagne when our children were young; we've been other places but always drawn back to Belle Plagne. This year we will introduce a 7-year old grandson to our favourite slopes - am sure he'll soon outski granny, but it will be such a joy.

Thanks for uploading this vid. I'm off to Plagne 1800 with the family this coming winter (half term). My boys are 7 and 10 and this will be only their 2nd winter hol (last Feb they did 4 days of skiing in Kaprun/Zell am See as a trial to see if they liked it, and they loved it). Your video makes me think we made the right choice in La Plagne, based on quantity of nice, easy going runs that I could see. We've had a good start to the season weather wise, so hopefully that continues throughout December and Jan. Where are you heading to this winter season?
@bradsorour48848 ай бұрын
Cheers 🙂 La Plagne is really great for intermediates and novices (for all levels actually) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The girls’ favourite by far was the blue run called “Lainés”; nice and wide and perfect for intermediates. We’ve got a couple of days booked in Champery next year (also half term) but definitely can’t wait to get back to La Plagne.

Hi Brad - nice job on the filming. you did better with your iPhone than many of the other youtubers have done with camera equipment. Well done. It looks like you wild camped the entire way. Did you have any issues finding a suitable camping spot?
@bradsorour48842 жыл бұрын
Thanks Richard, appreciate the kind comments. I reckon it was 80% camping and 20% accommodation (was forced to stay in a hotel one night because of a rolled ankle). 3 of the nights were at proper campsites where I was lured in because of the hot showers. No, it wasn’t really an issue finding a suitable wild camping spot; sometimes I’d need to walk just a little further in order to find a suitable pitch. Looking back, I would’ve made more of an effort to have wild camped for the most part :) All the best

Thanks for the kind words! SanParks website is good for the Otter Trail. I had a similar issue when researching for Tsitsikamma at the time - no real definitive guide other than hiker blogs and vlogs. With the Otter Trail it’s fairly easygoing in that you finish each day around midday because of the distance. Info on this trail also seems to be more readily available compared to Tsitsikamma as it’s more popular. I would also recommend you check out the Hiking South Africa website here www.hikingsouthafrica.co.za/tsitsikamma-trail/

I had a very similar experience to you in fact - didn't get a single blister, however, the achilles issue kicked in with me around 110 miles (and only on my left foot). I do see on other forums that this appears to be an issue with the 4.5 version. If they can sort that out then I think it's the ideal through-hiking shoe.

Hi Dave, thanks for the comments it's really appreciated. Yes, I had fairly decent weather overall so can't complain. I did have some really bad weather around the Nine Standards with the wind and rain. I didn't see anyone for most of that day; so had to dig deep and also trust the GPS to avoid getting lost as it was so wet and foggy. The C2C was such a great walk and I met the most friendly people along the way. I just wish I took more footage around the Littlebeck and May beck area, which is really pretty. Had a look at some of Snowymatrix's clips - looks like you guys had good company and a decent wildcamp at the River Liza.
