Cheers Mark and yeah you’re spot on. It’s good to push when you can and be able to walk at your own pace but even stop when you like too. No pressure on either person then as you get to do it yourself but then always meet up. The Apex was brilliant too, great bunch of lads and had a brilliant time. I pushed to complete the TMB earlier as completing in 5 days meant I had a few days rest before doing the Apex Challenge. As I did this 3 days after getting back from this trip.

Well, Kris , that was a beautiful hike with some epic views and you finished it so quick. I know that's your thing , but moving so quickly, do you ever feel like you missed things? Just curious because I like to take my time and see as much as possible on the trails I've done. Dwayne
@krisgleave
@krisgleave 8 сағат бұрын
It’s a great question Dwayne. Looking back I was really happy with the pace and what I did but I probably agree you do miss stopping and taking in the views. As I was pushing and enjoying the hike and then in addition filming when could…the only downside is I didn’t really take many pictures which is a shame. And I’m a photographer 😂. Still got everything out of the hike but guess I’ll be more mindful next time to take pics especially when putting the miles in

Thanks Howard. I’d love to see it in the snow I bet it’s epic! Really great question. Physically it should’ve been tougher….way tougher with the elevation….but I actually found this alright. I honestly put it down to the trail runners which were a massive help. Not sure if you watched my C2C on here but I struggled with my knees after Shap but my heels made it really tough. They hurt for a good 6-8 weeks after getting back. I put it down to footwear. So to this day I’ll say C2C was my hardest but all because of that. Elevation wise it should’ve been this one. Hope that helps.

Excellent series. As you said, you showed the TMB how it really is, not all Sound of Music meadows but lots of grinding ascents in forests too. Weather - yup, nothing you can do, just got to plan and take the lower variants. It was interesting to hear about your motivation, your recovery from a difficult time, and how you pushed yourself to surpass your targets. Of course, not everyone will want to (or could) hike it this way - most people relax more and enjoy the scenery. But you had your reasons, and it was cool to see what a fit and driven hiker could achieve, on a limited budget. Superb effort to do it in 5 days! 👍

Thank you, really great way to summarise that. Totally agree it’s not all sound of music and as long as people understand than then they know what they’re taking on. Then when you hit the vistas it’s amazing. It’s really helped me this hike and so glad I did it. Feel alive and myself again…literally the best thing I could’ve done.
