Wainwright’s coast to coast / HIKING AND WILD CAMPING IN THE LAKE DISTRICT / ultralight backpacking

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Hi again guys! Thanks once again for clicking on my video. Part two of my coast to coast trip was probably the toughest couple of days. Hope you all enjoy this one, part 3 should be ready this time next week! Have a good end to the week Ash

[@WildBeare]

Aw bless you, that's such hard going with injuries coming.. not enough support in those vibrams for a thru-hike me thinks. Swelling looks badddd 😟 I'm amazed you managed to carry on, think I actually would have cried & gone home haha. Beautiful views again (when you could see them haha) and lovely solar halo at 20:12 💜 Looking forward to part 3 :D xx

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Hey Claire... oh I didn’t even notice the solar halo lol, will have to check it out. Yeah, but of a moan fest this one, these were the worst few days for sure! Thanks as always for watching 😊 x

[@mikefaulkner10]

Hi Ash, as a Physio I've treated several patients who try to change to barefeet Vibrams or any flatfoot shoes/boots. They can cause ankle tendon/achilles problems due to no heel lift. Not really a surprise if you think how long all of us have been wearing heeled boot/shoes and then some marketing person tells us these are better... Not always, plus the toes working more independently? I commend your will power.

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Thanks Mike, yeah I’ve transitioned to them over the past 7/8 years for my running and thought I’d be conditioned to used them. The impact on the sole of the feet became too much, think that’s why the swelled up! Thanks for watching Ash

[@mrd4721]
