Day Four - South Downs Way - Amberley to St Botolphs | Cool Dudes Walking Club

[@-aquariuscyclingadventures2325]

Love watching your daily videos, thankyou! Great background music too!

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude.

[@debbief9861]

Crying with laughter!

[@squalloogal]

The misery was as thick as a hefty bag this episode. Weary winds. Fairy curses. Still loved every moment. Thanks Marek.

[@cdwc]

I loved the Chanctonbury Ring though.

[@anthonyhatter196]

Not sure which I laughed at more, the sight of your visage after a night's camping or the discussion with the devil about his, well, let's leave it there. Is a lovely stretch of the South Downs Way when less breezy, I promise. Thanks for brightening up the last day of week's holiday. CD#123

[@cdwc]

Thanks Anthony. Hope you had a good holiday.

[@Andy-LucyGSD]

Love these videos. I did this walk a couple of weeks before you and loved it. I was told it’s an easy walk, I disagree with this comment😕 Some tough sections but still one of my favourites. I roughed it and wild camped all four nights. Keep up the good work sir!

[@squalloogal]

Straight on to day four of the binge rewatchathon. Camping boo, glamping is more acceptable. I’d hate to be tired on a walk like this. I think I’d have to do a B&B. Have to laugh at Marek blending in with the crowd of sheep by chewing. 😆👍

[@jenniferburk7965]

Loving these...great way to spend a snowstorm, watching daily Marek videos.

[@cdwc]

A snow storm!!!!

[@jenniferburk7965]

@@cdwc Not that bad, we only got 4 more inches.

[@WalksWithOlly]

In all the places I've walked, I've never been anywhere with so many pigs in one location. It almost deserves a designation on the map. I think I said a passing 'hello' to the farmer there but disappointingly, he didn't have a farmer's accent. I also meant to add yesterday that I was reading an article about walking poles and how, among other benefits, their help you to burn 20% more calories than walking without! Good to see you crossing the halfway point. A good night's sleep is a rare thing in any camping experience! All the best and looking out for part five tomorrow.

[@cdwc]

I say good night's sleep. I reckon maybe six hours. Mainly from exhaustion I reckon.

[@WalksWithOlly]

@@cdwc I'm a long term insomniac. Six hours would be a dream... Good or bad, as long as I didn't wake up in that time!

[@oz25]

I had wondered where those pants had got to, Marek. On a day like that, I can see a lot of people wanting soup. I hope you still have your soul. Thanks for the walk and film, Dude xxx

[@cdwc]

I had already sold my soul doing some tv shows.

[@oz25]

@@cdwc So you missed out on the soup then. xxx

[@VietnamWalkingTV]

So beautiful place. Thanks my friend

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude.

[@RossRoams]

Have to visit the South Downs someday..!! Nice video Marek

[@cdwc]

Worth a visit especially the second half of it.

[@puddindancer]

Love how the subtitles think you're saying "...touch my clankton betties." Possibly my favourite sentence in existence. Another great video! I feel for your windy sufferings.

[@cdwc]

The subtitles are regularly funnier than what I actually say. Ha.

[@puddindancer]

@@cdwc Nooooo not regularly. Just the odd occasion. Hah.

[@georgec2894]

The pants are a celebratory flag for those who are past half-way! Endurance over speed any day in that wind, although you may develop a prevailing lean battling that wind for days on end! Well earned B&B!

[@cdwc]

From now on when I get to the halfway point of any walk I am going to leave pants hanging to the nearest barbed wire fence.

[@WeaponCollector]

Really enjoying this Marek, to be honest mate if you are anything like me (not a fan of the heat and sun) i reckon you did this in the perfect time of year, imagine having to do this walking in the baking bloody sun, i reckon that would be hell. Bowl of soup for my soul! - no way, Booze maybe, but soup can get lost!

[@cdwc]

I agree soup is a bad exchange for the soul. Maybe soup was nicer in the olden days. I agree about the weather, I don't think I could have done some of the longer days in the summer with a heavy pack.

[@SoloHiker]

You always manage to make me chuckle, Thanks. ATB

[@cdwc]

Thank you.

[@michaelwhite8031]

I admire your resilience Marek. It is a beautiful area though, it has so much history connected to 1066. There are some amazing churches with interesting history in that area. There is a chap called Richard Vobes who does alot of walking in that area , you should check out some of his vids for ideas. I really enjoy your stuff and wish there was more of it.

[@cdwc]

I hope Richard Vobes' channel is called 'Good Vobes'.

[@michaelwhite8031]

@@cdwc Lol

[@evegasse6999]

The pigs were definitely the highlight. I mean, the video is great, but those pigs!!

[@kek23k]

Remember folks, every time you see Marek walking artfully into the distance, he has to walk back and pick his camera up again! :)

[@cdwc]

My camera walks to me.

[@kek23k]

@@cdwc haha, good luck for the rest of the trip! Some impressive mileage you've been covering :).

[@kieranbaker3679]

Pretty sure Alesteir Crowley and Victor Neuburg, big fans of Chanctonbury Ring, woulda given up on Thelema if they had the option of joining the club and staying cool.

[@MrTomb789]

Now I know where I've seen those eyes before, Tom Baker..!!

[@ColanTonkin]

Mareks not lying joining The Cool Dudes walking club has increased my height by 2 inches but lowered my average walking speed to 2mph.

[@cdwc]

Walking slow is a real skill.

[@DavidEarlDetects]

moreeeeeeee

[@cdwc]

Editing takes longer than doing the walk itself. Don't worry episode five is out at 11 tmw.

[@shimmeister1062]

I think you will find that those pants belonged to 'The Badger'.

[@cdwc]

Of course. He wouldn't need to wear pants with all the sheep action he was getting.

[@ChocolateChipGamer]

chanctonbury ring! love that place did a whole project about it for uni, don't think i got a good grade for it

[@cdwc]

It is great up there. When I sat down for lunch I felt exhausted, but after I sat there for 20 minutes I felt oddly re-energised. The magic of the Chanctonbury Ring. Unfortunately I can only say it correctly 50% of the time.

[@Finchley]

Dear Marek, how do you go to the toilet when walking? Number 2 preferably

[@cdwc]

You have to take a trowel with you. Luckily all the places I stayed had facilities for your business.

[@Finchley]

@@cdwc you must have very good control

[@veronicavoehl]

I'd worry a bit seeing pants next to a field of sheep. 🐑

[@cdwc]

They were the badger's pants.

[@garrymartin6474]

I'm surprised Burpham wasn't a contender in the place names contest especially as you can say it whist burping !

[@kieranbaker3679]

High Titten another contender!

[@janecarter6994]

Minestrone - the devils soup

[@cdwc]

Ha. I agree.

[@PaintballMagazine]

PIGGIES!

[@cdwc]

They are probably all dead by now. Sadly

[@PaintballMagazine]

@@cdwc I guess bacon is OK...

[@Vurtonable]

To be fair I’ve climbed a few hills then lost my under pants. It was a real problem till I discovered not wearing underwear.

[@cdwc]

Bushrangers wear two pairs of pants.

[@Vurtonable]

@@cdwc or I could trick the wind by wearing one pair on my head. That pair blows away and then I run away really fast.
