Ahh this is great! Gunna do it myself next week. Not very optimistic about this lousy weather though but at least I know to pack for rain. Just a general question tho please. Is the route clearly signposted?? I really dont want to be getting my phone map out of my pocket every 5 minutes. Thanks guys! Great video!

I wonder if ehw is worse for migdies than whw? There is no easy answer for this i know..

I mean is it exposed enough for wind ?
@perrysterАй бұрын
The midges can be bad if there's no wind. I think both trails can be both bad for them depending on what time of year you go.

Oh Katie, you poor girl. I have done miles in boots over the years until pain (from 3 different issues) forced me to admit defeat. Or should that be de-feet…… 3 years ago I got back on a bike and am loving the outdoors all over again. It is not the same as yomping up the hills in a pair of boots, but I am overjoyed to have found some freedom to get out there again (in my 60s), get wowed by amazing views, feel the wind in my face, smell the trees and the earth, and listen to the birds. Hope you have found a solution to your feet problems.

Well, I quite enjoyed that. But instead of getting the train from Inverness down to Aviemore to start the East Highland Way, you could have hiked the East Highland Trail there. Yeah, that's right, there are two footpaths with a similar name. Genius! 🙄

Hi Katie, your sleeping bag looks good for colder nights, we are doing the Cotswold way this summer, it’ll be our first self sufficient hike! We don’t know what temperature rating sleeping bag to get, would you recommend anything? I was looking at a 5deg one but wondering if that will be too cold? Any thoughts would be much appreciated, thank you 😊
@GETtwoIT Жыл бұрын
Hello, our sleeping bags have a comfort limit of -6°C, 3 seasons, lightweight and packs small(ish). I like being warm at night (and do tend to feel the cold) so I would personally take my sleeping bag during the summer months but some may find it too warm. I also tend to use a sleep liner (sea to summit, thermolite reactor) which helps to add extra warmth if needed. What you could look at is the 5°C option with a liner then you have the option to add the layer. Also depends on you and what temperature you feel comfortable at. 😁

Hi. Enjoyed watching this a second time. I' impressed with the open views and scenery, and how well you did working through all of the challenges. Question: Do you plan to do the Pennine Way? I've watched another video series on that and it looks interesting. Thanks, and God Bless.
@GETtwoIT Жыл бұрын
Hey there Ken! The coast to coast is an amazing hike and definitely keeps you on your toes. We would love to do the Pennine Way! Need to get enough time off from work. The hike would take us around three weeks. Hopefully soon we will have our Tour Du Mont Blanc video upload for you to watch next.
@kenwbrenner Жыл бұрын
@@GETtwoIT Thank you for your replies. I enjoy your videos and the wonderful scenery from the country I once lived in (1963-1966). I plan to watch your other videos and will be looking forward to your Mount Blanc video. Understand about 3 weeks off problem! I've been section-hiking the AT (Appalachian Trail) since Feb. 1992. Am now near the 1100-mile point in Pennsylvania. Originally, I was only doing a few days at a time, then expanded to 2, 1-week hikes. Because of work and family, some years I didn't do any new trail, hence the long time it has taken me. Now, I'm retired (age 70) but plan to continue on north, probably doing 10-15 days at a time. Might only get to the 1500 mile point in northwest Connecticut, but that would be fine. Have seen so many wonderful things in the Lord's beautiful Creation. Since your hikes are normally in open areas, wanted to share one video of mine showing one of my favorite parts of the AT thus far - Virginia Highlands. It is high and open with views. Here's the address for that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqXcnVrh5h8rLM I hope you both are well and are very blessed as a couple and individuals in the coming year. I appreciate your fine channel and consider it very good and wholesome to watch. God Bless!

Hi. Watched this again recently and continue to be impressed by: 1. Beautiful scenery 2. Your working through the difficulties of the weather. I didn't mention this in the previous comments, but I lived in England from May, 1963 to Jan. 1966. My Dad was stationed at RAF Alconbury (US Air Force). We lived in St. Ives and Warboys and went to American schools on base. I had good English friends, and loved being there. I was ages 10-12 so was old enough to enjoy and understand what I was experiencing. I recall seeing signs for "Public Footpaths" and even at that age, had an early desire to hike. As an adult, I started hiking in 1972 and since 1992, have been section-hiking the Appalachian Trail. I'm about half way and now at age 70, still love hiking. I look forward to viewing more of your hiking videos of the trails in the UK. My AT hikes are documented on my channel in the series "Walking in Creation, Hiking the Appalachian Trail". Hoping you have a very blessed 2023... God Bless!
