hello and thanks for the video ! would you recommend the island for a few days ? Been to Kapas, Perenthian, Penang, Langkawi and loads of many islands in other SE countries ( thailand, indonesia, the philipines ) .
@TravelTrekRunАй бұрын
We really enjoyed our time there, but if you have done other islands, especially in Thailand then there will be nothing that stands out about Pankor Island.

A well-made film and you seem to be an affable chap but that inane music served no purpose for me.I switched off after eight minutes. I've now returned and watched it with the sound muted ! I love it.
@TravelTrekRun2 ай бұрын
Glad you watched the video in the end! As a hobby this channel makes me no money, so I only use free music from the KZbin Audio library and I'm not a musical person, so choosing the soundtrack is not my strong point. I find watching videos without music can be a little boring. The mute button may be your friend with my videos!

Hi Richard, thanks for your comments & thanks for watching my video! I get more fun from pushing myself than making life easy! I also prefer running in the mountains, and the first few days on the Pennine Way are more countryside (with lots of fields and styles). So, as I could not make the challenge about being self-sufficient it would have just turned into a countryside run (albeit a beautiful one); and that's why I decided to call it a day.

Yo, I can't belive the distance you covered in these two videos great effort!. I'm doing the Pennine way solo this year in July. Plan is 13 days to a potential 2 rest days. making use of campsites and a around 5 wild camps along the journey. About 10 years ago I attempted it with my dad but we abandoned after the second day as he got severely dehydrated and had to get the ambulance out after he passed out into his own dinner in a pub. Spent half the night at a&e whilst dad was on a drip getting rehydrated and then at 2am after hospital kicked us out we had to find somewhere to sleep. Ended up sleeping in a asda carpark, untill it opened lol fantastic unforgettable holiday! cant wait to attempt it again

Which sleeping pad was that? In the video you said Thermarest i think,but when i looked at the lighterpack it says it's a Lighttour. Is the Lighttour the one that has like a built in pillow? How comfortable is it for you?
@TravelTrekRun Жыл бұрын
It was an old 3/4 length thermarest sleeping pad (514g) in the video, but I have since changed it. I now use a cheap Light Tour pad (295g) from Aliexpress (www.aliexpress.com/item/4001223973136.html). It packs down really small, it's probably not the best quality but for spring, summer and autumn adventures I love it. At £25 / $30 it's an affordable option. Only used it about 10 nights but so far so good!

Why "kilometres?" We use "miles." Maybe you could use miles on your next attempt, and show "Kilometres" on screen for none UK watchers? Just a thought. I'm not trying to be "passive aggressive," and wish you well, pun intended, in your next attempt. A little advice, take in more fats, and not sugars, and or carbs, that will just give you spikes and troughs. NOT medical advise. 👍😎👍m-E-m
