My Hardest 100 Mile HIKE - The South Downs Way

[@IsaacS1]

Living the dream that most of us could never realistically get to live. But at least we have channels like this to give us a few moments of living the dream through a creators experience. Thank you ❤❤

[@no_soy_rubio]

Great video, there are two routes from Alfriston and I would recommend taking the opposite one to the one you took, across the Seven Sisters. It's harder work, but it's easily the most spectacular part of the whole walk

[@oceanblue1886]

Such a wonderful talent, thank you!

[@bennyhill4228]

Her Dad is proper proud And Mum ,what a wonderful creation

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Your enjoyment of the outdoors is so contagious. I'm not able to get out so thanks for the great video.

[@dontworrybehappy5139]

Looks like a very fun trip! It is great to have a partner along who provides support but also gives you space to take in the experience on your own. I always appreciate your editing in giving us a sense of the land and the animals you encounter along the trail.

[@4T-Tech]

Takes me back to my uni days about 20 years ago, hiking the South Downs with a group of friends and my then-girlfriend ... wild camping in a field, getting wet in the rain. Loved every minute of it! It's nice to be reminded of those days. Enjoy it while you can!

[@Tsuyoikaratekai1998]

Well done to you both. I aim to carry on early April 2024. I will be going from The Sustainability Centre, East Meon. I did Winchester to there in 2 days but had to pull out due to injury. Wish me luck, this local man (West Sussex) in his 50's. I liked the way you put your recordings together; thanks for sharing. All the best, K

[@atticuskilby515]

That is a beautiful hike-thanks for sharing! Darn Tough socks are Vermont's gift to the hiking world and they mean what they say when they advertise that the socks have a lifetime guarantee. I have sent worn pairs back to the company and promptly received new replacements, no questions asked.

[@benhikescamps]

I really enjoyed that Becky. I also did the SDW in April and in the same sort of time as yourself. I agree about spring being a good time to do this trail; the colours, sunshine and new life everywhere was just awesome. As I went early April, I hit that cold snap and it got very cold!! Soon warmed up though later on. Thanks for bringing back the memories for me. Great vid and new sub here - ATB, Ben (Londoner Outdoors)

[@fortsmith8200]

My dog and I walked it in 2016, same as you kipping in hedgerows etc. lovely walk, try the West Highland way, and the Coast to Coast.

[@tonybarstow9813]

I really like this girl, 16 and making her own direction in life back then! Wish I'd done it at that time, we get one life!!

[@knk-nagas8607]

Becky is back,😊😊 yeah...!!!

[@arranbailey4818]

Definitely doing this one, Thank you for the video.

[@kingrafa3938]

An amazing journey with beautiful scenery with a great couple.

[@moegardner1]

11:32 now you are in our family home area! Grandpa was from sutton sussex, noone seems to know where it is. (unless for the White Horse) Great trip!

[@bertkelly7650]

Good job Becky! Always enjoy your travels cause I'm too old to do it myself.

[@ramblinactivist]

I really enjoy the stuff you and Jake to together because I get to see the same thing from two different perspectives, and discover so much more! 🙂

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

I'm planning on doing this from Eastbourne this year 👍🏻

[@UrbanGrrl69]

Looked like a nice trail Becky,you and Jake getting serious 😃. I admire how you test yourself and keep pushing through.

[@jameswilliams5175]

So pleased to see you backpacking again, very much enjoy your wild camping/backpacking videos

[@orlandomenchaca1714]

Hi, awesome video. Way to ruck through the uncomfort and pain .... inspired. Thank you for sharing.

[@johndavidson6867]

Beautiful, and not just the country side that you hiked through. Your videos, Becky always seem to find that soft spot in my heart, making me wish I could have joined you and Jake. Hope your summer is filled with adventure, bringing much peace to you.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much John! Really appreciate it 😊 take care and hope you have a lovely summer also :)

[@claramullen]

What an amazing hike Huck wonderful scenery. Take care Becky.

[@bennyhill4228]

Don't say much most the time but yep Saw kent survival too doing +1 for you all and thank you for taking us along with you

[@lewisgardner1660]

If all people your age were like you this would be a truly wonderful country without any trouble just happiness and joy

[@michaelbennett6778]

Beautiful content and filming Becky - I ran 50 of those miles in April but it’s always beautiful to see another’s view and at a different pace. Thank you 🙏

[@robaylmer2450]

a really enjoyable hike Becky, and it's really refreshing to see you hiking in England (mostly watch US hikers). inspiring too. I'm looking forward to your next expedition 😁😁🌹🌹😊😊

[@jeffreyquinn7425]

Another beautiful video Becky. I always look forward to spending some quiet time to enjoy your journeys. Stay safe always Becky.. Say hello to Jake🌹🌹

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks, great video thanks. ✌🏻👊🏼

[@ianstewart8301]

Thanks for the update!

[@Campingandcookingfamily]

Thanks for sharing love. Great hike - you did it ❤

[@guy0725]

Great video Becky, thanks !! Take care 😀!!

[@michaelfk2548]

Big thumbs up guys !

[@toddt4941]

Thanks for sharing Becky! And thanks for all you do! 😊

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Todd!!

[@alancobbin]

Well done guys ,another one ticked off 👍😉💪

[@bennyhill4228]

12:08 for plant recognition watch "Danni in the woods" a wonderful soul indeed with proper healing

[@Andy-LucyGSD]

It’s a beautiful walk. I walked it in 4 days due to time constraints, would probably do it in 6 like you next time, just nice to be able to stop more often.

[@Gaz69erwilson]

So cool that you were in my neck of the woods ❤

[@Nate1975]

Lovely to see you doing the trail together

[@user-David-Alan]

It was a beautiful hike. I hope I get to see you hike the Appalachian Trail someday. Stay well enjoy that nature.

[@christianluff]

Great video, impressive determination and I love that this provides an ideal excuse to scoff pastry treats! You’re in my neck of the woods! Between the rivers Adur and Arundel. Lived here all my life and fully appreciate the location with access to the sea and the South Downs every day.

[@Laylit]

You can really feel this one. Hard but beautiful! There is nothing better but to fall flat inside your bed while everything hurts. So you know what you‘ve done! 😁 ..if the pain is not too much, that is!

[@brianwalker2201]

I just finished hiking the Appalachian Trail and I’m home and missing the outdoors already. I might do this trail next week!

[@stevetaylor8446]

We're lucky to have such lovely countryside here in the South Bex...and sounds like you did it at just the right time....got a feeling it is going to be a busy summer on the walks and trails and woodlands

[@martypemberton6970]

Well done Becky! Just finished the Coast to Coast myself! Will have to keep the South Downs Way in mind for my next hike! (Marty)

[@fengbi5653]

I thoroughly enjoy this video Becky & Jake it was just so nice to watch resulting in an resounding ASMR response. Thank you.🥰🥰🥰

[@pauledwards499]

Great video, infectious enthusiasm! I've been watching your content since the early days of you camping in the woods with your dad, you've come such a long way in a short time and it feels like I'm watching a tv production when I watch you, that's how good you are! I love Fjall Raven stuff, I have a few jackets, beanies and t shirts but I'd love to afford a tent, yours looks great. Keep on keeping on, you're amazing!

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Amazing to see the other side watched Jakes your is very different. Nice one

[@jamesellsworth9673]

You and Jake are working together more naturally on-camera these days: not easy. I also found, in my time, that backpacking was a special experience: knackered by the day's end and so grateful for even a basic shelter and a hot meal!

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Different terrain compared to say the West Highland Way or the Cape Wrath Trail but 100 miles is 100 miles regardless & takes some walking. Well done you two. Take care till next time Becks xx

[@MrLaurencebourne]

Fantastic.Well done.

[@trevorthompson6429]

Awesome job well done Becky 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@andyclough285]

Glad you like the socks😊

[@emmiebl6605]

Oooooo! The SDW! My local walk. I only have Winchester > QE Country Park left to do. My last section had me camping at the Devils Jumps (absolutely lovely place for a wild camp)

[@craigshagey9999]

Well dun both 👏 👍 👌

[@Daytona2]

Georgeous, almost home turf! Thanks for sharing, Becky! I love Downsland landscape and this is a classic, quintessential representation of southern England. The historic little villages are just beautiful. I thought that you looked fit, but I guess bike fit rather than backpacking fit then ? So pleased that you managed to find weather window as winter begrudgingly gave way to spring. It's been so slow and wet. North Downs way next ? I don't know much about that one. The Weald really intrigues me as well.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much for your comment! Take care :)

[@bennyhill4228]

Your bike ride was awesome lass btw

[@Maudongh]

I enjoy this good video:)) thank you 🙏👍

[@SoloHiker1]

Great video, Mahalo for sharing.

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Great trail you two smashed it out awsome

[@venturabushcraft5916]

Finn and Jake puffer jackets! 😂😂 I got it girl. 👌 Adventure Time hiking and camping. Best outdoor channel in the UK. You guys are awesome. 👍

[@paulhulley5969]

One of my best multi day hikes I’ve done ⛰⛺️🥾👌I agree with the chalked paths being a killer on the feet though

[@royjennison3916]

well done great result

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@graham6983]

Me and my mate are planning to cycle it 🤔good to see a video of what’s in store 👍🏻

[@GirlOutdoors]

Nice!! Will be an awesome cycle

[@bennyhill4228]

thunderstorms i only ever heard it twice in 50 years, Flash and bang same time... no gaps, no chance to react...it strikes

[@jamezday]

I've got to run the length of SDW in a couple of weeks, gulp. Looks good :)

[@gordonbarclay6106]

Awesome, well done..

[@brianmaldonado3723]

Paternal side emigrated to NYC, USA from Alfriston, GB, early 20th. Family name reflects region. Cool and ty.

[@WhiteBeardWandering]

Nice to meet you both on the trail - I was with my mate Geoff, both had Atompacks

[@GirlOutdoors]

Great to meet you guys too!! 🙌

[@WhiteBeardWandering]

Don't feel to bad about the trail it's a total assent of 3500m which is equivalent of walking up Snowdon from Llanberis 3.6 times over 100 miles. I've done it 4 times now and each time I forget how hard it is.

[@loocuss722]

Great job gang! "Sickness and death" sounds great chop it up and make a tea, should be lovely 😂 Take care of the foots 😎👍🏻

[@joffbrown]

I so want to bike pack it, great video

[@bennyhill4228]

One of yer best like i said i don't talk much and don't hide my comments thank you Again one of yer best vids lass

[@donnawilson7486]

Great video. Loved your headband/bandana. I have some that don’t have enough stretch. Any idea on this brand?

[@kearnsey64]

2 things I've learned in 40 years of hiking. Rehydrate your meal inside your jacket if it's cold out, and don't be afraid to eat a dinner meal for breakfast.

[@dalem1140]

Great stuff🤙

[@affalaffaa]

I think the cycle route to the end was taken here, same as Hazey. The seven sisters route, for walkers, is the climax to this walk. I can't imagine you walked that part and didn't film it. No bother, easy walk to get back to. My first multi day hike and I was seriously bored of chalk and flint by the end of it. Probably will walk it again.

[@bryanking6239]

Baie mooi ! means beautiful in South Africa

[@IamBATMAN2024]

I once walked 35 miles in one day but I couldn’t walk for 2 weeks after that! 😂😂

[@wildart90]

im gonna be doing this

[@Yaketyyak21]

Well done you two…

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

I'm about to do this walk wild camping with my 12 year old son 🙂

[@deanmc178]

welcome to my neck of the woods becky ,, you walked it ,, my brother ran it under 30 hours aka the centurion run

[@simonr5171]

Great video. One minor point: A to zee!! Come on Becky we’re Brits. It’s zed. 😂

[@RobinMarshall-gu4cp]

Hi Becky, I hope you Boyfriend Jake get together and a Happy New Year 🥳!!!

[@CampWithMatt]

Hi Becky - great video - loved it! Can you let me know how many days you did it over and your rough daily mileage? I am looking to do it myself in the next month or so. M.

[@bryanbadger6841]

Hi guys. Just calling in from Nz. So many great walks you have eh.? Google what we have down here. Milford, Routeburn, and many others. A lot are up above the bush line. (Tiger country) That's a nickname for tough going. Degree of fitness has to be good. And yeah approaching my 77th summer, is a bit tough for me now. Possibly doable?? Um this rehydration subject is interesting. My dad was in the desert during ww2 and to keep rehydrated they just drank water when thirsty, not because someone in a lab coat said, and had salt tabs. As far as we know, his kidneys functioned ok. My recommendation would be to start your day with tea. Not coffee. Coffee affects your bladder. Suggested reading on the subject..."117 Days Adrift" by Maurice and Marilyn Bailey. Available water ran out, so they caught turtles and drank the blood. Of course turtles don't swim up and ask if you're thirsty. You grab when avaliable. Yeah so start your day with tea, and you'll be fine. Love your channel. Keep em coming. Maybe see you down here. Take care.

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Harder than Cape Wrath? Great video again

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I must not be the only viewer who has wondered what you are doing to maintain your former high peak of cycling fitness, along with all your other tasks and adventures.

[@greeno6064]

Hi Becky, Started watching your videos a few weeks ago with your one of your first videos, The West Highland way which I am a big fan of and have done 3 times in the ladt 3 years. Couple of questions please if you could spare the time to answer. You have done some truly amazing hikes, and i say that as someone who only started big through hikes at the age of 60, yes seriously, Firstly why was this hike the hardest 100 mile hike and... was there any issues wildcamping on this route as we all know technically wildcamping not allowed in the UK

[@ArcticExploring]

That is really a long hike you guys did there 😬

[@danaowen9014]

The scenery was so beautiful, glad you made it to the end. How did you and jake get back to your cars ?

[@darrylmeeking6839]

They literally started the vlog from the train station lol😂

[@hikenadventure]

Great video, thank you. Impressed with the weight you carried. Wait, did you say A to zee?

[@computer-ww2033]

Good 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@walterotton3350]

Good job you didn't camp overnight on Chanctonbury Ring - those that do say it's haunted

[@3rubberboats]

You have lost your muscle tone from not going up two flights of stairs when your parents moved to a single story home. At least you are getting some back by walking the South Downs Trail. And enjoying all the beautiful English country side. Thank you Becky for sharing this wonderful adventure. Take care and have an outstanding day.😊

[@filipg9950]

Just want to ask about your backpack, is it Osprey kestrell 65 l, what kind of backpack is Jake using? Best regards

[@onion_wind]

I've never seen you do a single walk with a decent pair of boots.

[@photography555]

What gps app do you use for hiking?

[@foreverirish132]

Can I ask what Osprey pack you have now? 😊
