90 MILE HIKING BACKPACKING AND WILD CAMPING TRIP | THE RIDGEWAY

This is the 4th time I have walked the Ridgeway and successfully completed it. I will do it just once more with my friend Tim when he is ready! Then, thats it :) Other long distance hikes beckon me now!
Watch this space!

[@EdwinFeliu]

What an avid fellow outdoorsman and admirably to be emulated!

[@oscartravis5740]

Joe's spread though, that was something else! Great journey as ever, it's a pleasure to tag along from the armchair

[@MeT2338]

An admirable sojourn and very much enjoyed. Shows what a beautiful country in which we are fortunate to live. Thank you for the excellent film and commentary. Tremendous !

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

Lovely walk thanks for sharing

[@tonypatey5669]

I did not know about this channel Sandy, I only knew about the knife channel. I am in awe over your feat, accomplishing this long hike with your good friend Tony. You are in incredible shape. You are an inspiration to me. Seeing you do this has inspired me to go 1000 yards from 500. I know I can do it and I will. This happens to be a second chance at life. I will take full advantage and succeed. I’ve had a long recovery and feel ready after watching this video to take the next step. Thank you very much. Tony

[@WiltshireMan]

Good on you Tony

[@charlottejpriestley8934]

Your new nickname is 5 star Sandy! Thanks for sharing the trip with us! Great job putting this together, so professional! Your more fun than Sir Richard Attenborough. lol.

[@007vauxhall]

Enjoyed that, great walking, views, and camping....well done on the 4th time Sandy :-)

[@alisdar1234]

What a lovely film. I have been having a bad time of it recently and this has put a warm smile on my face.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hope things get better for you soon

[@createdezign1840]

Although I don't know Sandy personally. What a nice guy.... I really like him.

[@Standswithabeer]

Goodness; what a video. I love the camaraderie, and your knowledge of the areas in which you hike. The drone photography and music choices contributed to making this video enthralling; so well done...it will be quite a while before I am finished sharing this to everyone. In my humble opinion, this is a new standard of KZbin hiking videos. All I can say is "Thanks!". :) Greetings from Georgia, USA.

[@williamreeder3660]

Great video..... thank you for it.

[@choccysprinklies6030]

Just finished watching...loved this video...these and your wild camping adventures are my favourites... thanks for sharing 😀

[@happyhermit2022]

Really good well done 🤗

[@pshearduk]

Who the hell thumbs down quality like this?? It’s beyond me. Thank you for bringing me on your journey Sandy. Brilliant video 😎 atb

[@RDPproject]

Loved the video Sandy. I watched it on the big screen tv in the living room while having dinner.

[@hackneeey]

Nice film , you're one of nature's gentlemen it's always a pleasure to see you enjoying one of your many hobbies

[@petertrafford7677]

Yet another great video Sandy.... cheers from Canada

[@philipgeorge2989]

Philip here, fellow hiker and wild camper. Just watched your vid, love the way you all get on together. Can I recommend Sole-Mates liquid gel insoles to you. I've worn them in my boots on all my hikes and never had foot troubles or aching feet at the end of the day. They gently massage my feet with every step so aiding blood circulation. Regards Philip.

[@clivenewton7609]

Thanks Sandy for yet another super brilliant vid of the Ridgeway, you are such an inspiration even for us older codgers! And the twist on how we think about our endeavours at the end of the walk was just about perfect, the norm now is being at the start of a new adventure and not the end of the last one......outstanding!! Regards Clive

[@campbellwilliams46]

You have a really great web site. I am a virtual rookie { even at my advanced age } and learn a great deal from you. Really entertaining!

[@jeffreywinter2660]

Just fantastic, loved it.

[@jonathanmellish4439]

Gives a lovely flavour of the walk. A shame about the lack of water. It’s on my bucket list.

[@michaeljones5395]

Awesome accomplishment.... Again! Congratulations!

[@stephensmith4480]

Some lovely Scenery, our country is amazing. I had a laugh when he pointed out Didcot Power Station. I work on the Railway and we used to load Coal in Bulk, at Liverpool Docks for Didcot, back in the day.

[@PillSharks]

Same for me, I work at Royal Portbury and the bulkers carrying the coal for Didcot payed us well...all gone now unfortunately!

[@stephensmith4480]

@@PillSharks Your right there mate. Fiddlers Ferry is getting knocked down, this year or early next. When I think how busy it used to be.

[@PillSharks]

Stephen Smith yes, we went from having regular bulk carriers for Didcot and sometimes Dracks power station to nothing, like I said, it’s hit us the pocket slightly but luckily the port always finds something to replace lost trade! My father was asking me the other month about Kingsnorth powers station in Medway, kent, he worked on the chimney and had to climb it free hand, a bloke he was with was killed at the top after something fell on him and they had to leave his body up there until the next day, that’s also been pulled down and he couldn’t believe it after all the effort of building the place!

[@hutchinsonsadventures4678]

Well done guys.... brilliant!

[@abefrohman1759]

Thanks Sandy. Wonderful scenery. Very inspirational.

[@spijkerpoes]

This has been a very enjoyable film! I got so many things to comment upon that I just don't.. ..except that I have a cat, that's normally very lovable, except when you pick her up.. ..she turns into something that looks just like that chinook. Cheers, I'm looking forward to more of your adventures..

[@paulmatt7131]

[@dazinthesticks]

Epic hike Sandy , fair play to you all. Excellent video . Might have to give your area a try. Thanks for sharing. Atb from Darren in Gloucestershire.

[@campfire52]

Wow, great trek there Sandy. To have done that 4 times is an absolutely amazing accomplishment that you should be very proud of. It takes a lot of determination and dedication to fight through the steep inclines and declines and rough terrain for 87 miles. Thanks so much for taking your cameras with you to share this great experience with us. Take care my friend and enjoy those beautiful outdoors. You have some great friends there to hike with you.

[@modestadventurers]

Enjoyed your adventure Sandy so thanks for taking us along. Tim did the right thing abandoning the walk and has done unbelievably well losing all that weight. You can barely see him now lol. Atb

[@mischatytel9606]

Hey Sandy. Thank you for sharing. You have inspired me to follow your journey later this year

[@peteswright]

Very Interesting and entertaining vid Sandy. Very well done!!! You seem to be in good spirits and looking spritely. Good to see. Pete.

[@underwaterdick]

Only just caught up with this video. Looks like a great trip Sandy. Its nice to see a network of people willing to support you guys with food, water and supplies!

[@williamreeder4902]

[@erinthetraveler6168]

That was wonderful! Beautiful footage, too. I loved the dew covered spider's web and the misty morning on the last day.

[@miffyonabike]

Great video as always. It says a great deal about you that you have such fantastic friends. Looking forward to seeing Tim complete the Ridgeway. I am confident he will with your support.

[@MarkN67]

Awesome Sandy, I really admire your enthusiasm and get up and go. You're an inspiration.

[@pondguru]

That video clip at 17:30 - classic, lol When you mentioned the pill boxes it reminds me of when I pointed one out to my wife many years ago and she honestly thought they were like some sort of old rural pharmacy which didn't have very big windows. She doesn't watch war films...... Its great you have water taps along the route for walkers. Groovy.

[@coocookachoo2806]

Always enjoy your videos Sandy, Thanks for sharing with us. ATB

Great viewing Sandy, your videos are helping me plan my retirement and maybe some adventures before! Thank you for posting.

[@Tyddewi16]

Great video Sandy!!! Its very motivating, we have so much to see in this greenland we drive past everyday. I will walk The Ridgeway one day, hopefully 😁. Was rooting for Tim, hopefully he can walk the route next time, something to complete his weight loss journey. Much respect to him!! What a morale boost Joe must of been, put a smile on my face and I was just watching.
