Thanks for all of the comments and apologies for the late or lack of replies but it’s been a crazy week this week 🍺

I've just binge-watched the 5 episodes, more or less in one go!. I got to end of episode 4 by 2 am this morning, and have just finished the last episode now! All I can say is Wow!. What an adventure Darren and that heat looks brutal !!! Absolutely loved watching this. I follow your channel as well as the pubcast and the individual guys on there too. You did a great job of editing this, and you really captured the beauty of the landscape. You got some superb photos each day that you must be really proud of. Kudos to you for completing the walk in that heat and carrying all that gear. I bet you enjoy looking back on this as a lovely record of your achievement. On a side note, I did the Shropshire Way last year, which is also a superb walk through beautiful / gorgeous / lovely / superb 🤣 countryside. But you have given me an appetite to do the Cumbria Way. I love Wales and I love Scotland, but the Lakes do have that certain something don't they?. Thanks for this series of videos Darren, I wish you did more, as they are such a good watch. All the best, Phil

A great ending to your adventure! There is no glory in heatstroke - you did the right thing. Those hills will be there in better weather if you feel you must climb them. I’ve enjoyed this trip with you very much. I’ve only seen England through films, so it’s a treat to be out like this. Thanks for sharing!

No walk of shame.... Doing the right thing under the prevailing conditions. Can see me taking the more responsible route when I get back out there. Enjoyed this episode ... (of course). Thanks for sharing Daren

No shame in making the right choice mate, no water makes your mind up for you. I am so jealous, that spot at the end. WOW! absolutely love your videos Darren. looking forward to the next adventure and plan F. 😎👌

Thanks Darren this series of video's has been the most enthrolling video's on YT, i must admit when watching the first one after 10 mins i thought why am i watching this but i was soon hooked and looked forward to every episode, this was worthy to be on any TV channel great narration and editing. Just fantastic Darren congrats superb 👍👍

[@susanfirth2279]

No walk of shame here Darren. Common sense served you better. What a brilliant end to an epic series. That stream must have been freezing. Really enjoyed your adventure and commentary along the way.

Gotta love a plan ,the more the merrier,can't have too many options just in case....& if they fail then make up some more 😁 Fabulous series Darren,topped off with a private plunge pool ....by god that looked cold 😅

[@upndown-traveling]

Absolutely beautiful👍👍👍an interesting and stunning looking place, thanks for the videos😄,best regards Up'n'Down-Traveling

[@iainmc9859]

No walk of shame there. It would have been shame if you'd gone up and had to call out the emergency services. If you'd gone up you would have missed out on that wonderful pool, which looked so much better than a shower. There's always a benefit to doing the right thing. The good walker is the adaptable walker. Its been an absolute pleasure to follow along with you on this wee adventure and I'm sure it won't be the last one.

[@annehall9427]

That was no walk of shame, that was being responsible. When we had that awful heat I didn't even go out, so you did bloomin good. Really enjoyed these video Darren. Looking forward to The next.

[@neilthacker2069]

A great ending to the series, thanks for being our guide on this adventure of yours,thouroughly enjoyed it!

[@felixcomms]

Ha Ha what a way to end the trip ... Enjoyed following your journey Daz ......

[@johnchallis4364]

Great ending to a brilliant series Darren - I think I remember you saying on the pubcast that North Wales was your favourite part of the U.K. - I get the impression that you may now have changed your mind about that ? Thanks for the laughs and smiles along the way 👍

[@heathernewman7930]

Bless you Darren you made me properly laugh at the end there getting in that pool. I was sad that you referred to the change of plan as a 'walk of shame' no-one would question the common sense of protecting yourself. Imagine if you had carried on and collapsed from heat exhaustion. It has been an absolute pleasure watching your journey. Stay safe 🙏☕

[@garystone6583]

What a goodcall on not going up the high peak mate. Sense prevailed. And what a beautiful spot to end it. Great watch and see you on the next one. Stay safe mate. 👍

[@zadokwest]

cracking set of vids..

[@GaryNormanPhoto]

I'm not sure if I've commented on your previous episodes (apologies I have been very lazy with commenting recently) but I have to say that I've really enjoyed following your adventures on this little series. Even though you didn't get as far as you'd planned, hats off to you for what you did achieve and thank you for sharing it with us all :-)

[@KarlVaughan]

You did far more than I did in that heat. I didn't even go anywhere for a walk! A wise decision to bail out. You have to be sensible in those conditions.

[@robingrant8082]

Great episode and series Darren, thank you. The final location was just magic. Best regards Robin

[@jamesobrien9045]

Loved it all. Well done.

[@heathernewman7930]

Hi Darren, I hope everything is going ok 🙏

[@davesemmens9496]

Wainwright described Catbells as "a family fell where grandmothers and infants can climb the heights together" - Well I have dragged my wife (who is a grandmother :) ) up those bloody wet rocks near the summit and I can tell you that it was not enjoyable ;)

[@colvillebri196]

Not the walk of shame, it was a sensible decision, in that heat with no water not a healthy combination.

[@greyhound0z]

We're you at ullswater today?

[@hyphenphotography]

No shame in not going with plan A, B or C in those conditions, buddy. The hills will still be there for the next time. And being told about that secret spot by a local was justification. Everything happens for a reason.
