[@krisgleave]

Thanks Gary really appreciate your support and glad you liked the videos

[@Insolesandlaces]

Great honest interview Kris and sounds like a great challenge. All four of you seem top blokes and have subscribe to you all. Maybe our paths will cross on some summit. Big respect from North Wales ❤

[@krisgleave]

Thanks for that really appreciate it. Yeah looking forward to it as should be a good challenge but also be nice to do the challenge as a group as all good lads. I definitely need to get out in the hills lots more so maybe I’ll see you up there one day for sure

[@StezStixFix]

Love this mate. Look forward to seeing your Helvellyn exploits!

[@krisgleave]

Cheers for that Ste really appreciate it bud

[@miri515]

@@krisgleave chances I just discovered both yours and Stez channel in the last month! completely independently - love the content mate very inspiring, I downloaded AllTrails and have started ticking off routes nearby, and looking to plan some hiking and wild camps this year. Godspeed

[@krisgleave]

@@miri515 haha love it! Ste and I worked for the same company for many years and since leaving and over lockdown he set up his channel and I love it. Love tinkering myself and do electronics when building drones so great to see. Good luck with the wild camping and hiking too. It’s my passion and honestly the best thing

[@seanstacey3223]

Very good that interview Kris, and what a challenge! Also what a team! I'm subscribed to all of your channels and it'll be great to see you all doing it together. I wish you all the best of luck for it 👍

[@krisgleave]

Thanks so much Sean really appreciate it. Don’t think Paul can make it now. Time to start training as I’ve had a 4mth break from YT and Hiking due to life so starting back at it again now

[@seanstacey3223]

@krisgleave OK Kris, will be good to see you back 😊👍

[@krisgleave]

@seanstacey3223 Thank you 🤙🏼

[@MancOutdoors]

Such a similar story to me did scafell then completed the 3 peaks in 6 weeks the bug hit me and I’m still excited each hike and camp the wild summit camping I watched Paul Messner and Andy beavers that was me hooked on the camping all the best top man 👍

[@krisgleave]

Love that and yes very similar as I was the same watching all the KZbinrs and still do. Really love hiking and watching others too it’s great isn’t it. I’ve had a 4mth break from everything but starting back at it again now

[@bernardscott1783]

A very honest and inspiring interview mate.👍

[@krisgleave]

Thanks Bernard really appreciate the feedback

[@Happyhiker58]

Great interview. I subscribe to all 4 of you so can't wait for those apex videos 👍

[@krisgleave]

Aww that’s brilliant, love that! Looking forward to the event

[@BooniesPeaks]

I know this is out the ordinary for you but honestly you are a natural born presenter! Brilliant listen mate e joyed it can't wait to see all the content from you alds on the apex ! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻 ATB

[@krisgleave]

That’s kind thanks for that. Yeah it’s a bit strange doing a video like this and really wasn’t sure about releasing it on here as not sure how it’d go down or fit with my other content but I thought it was a really good interview and was honest so thought it’d be good to share. The event will be tough too but something good to get my teeth stuck into. Need to get smashing out the long distance hikes this year before this.

[@BooniesPeaks]

@krisgleave I will join your for a leg of the coast to coast if your going back for round 2 !

[@krisgleave]

@BooniesPeaks 100%. I have plenty I want to to do this year…just waiting for the weather first. Would love to do the C2C again though it was such a good experience but others to do too. Next one will be the WHW I think.

[@mananddog.outdoors]

Loving this interview mate. Especially the mental health aspect, for me I don't struggle with getting out, but with having a stammer it's more of the meeting new people. Being solo (with just the dog) is great, but from time to time having a good craic on a camp would be cool. All the best with the Everest challenge, you've got a good team with Al, Paul and Andy 🤙🏼... Might look at doing this myself next year, I love all these challenges 👊🏼

[@krisgleave]

Thanks for that. Aah that’s interesting and appreciate you struggling with that, my daughter has Tourette’s which is challenging for her to meet people too but just own it 🤙🏼 I just need to get steps in place so it doesn’t keep becoming an issue. Might do a few kids for my car so I can sleep in it the night before for a hike at a location rather than always waiting to go in the morning which has been a stopper at times. Will see. Yeah lots of challenges I want to do this year. Can’t wait to start getting on the long distance hikes again very soon too.

[@mananddog.outdoors]

@@krisgleave owning it is the best way, something I'm slowly coming round to, I'd have never put myself Infront of a camera like I am now and whacking it on here! Best advice to your daughter is to not let it get in the way of being the person she wants to be. Are you still doing your group hikes? That's one reason to keep getting out if you're ever doing any in the Peaks/Snowdonia I'd be keen to join 🤙🏼

[@MancOutdoors]

Sounds a great challenge pal and with top you tubers good luck 🤞

[@krisgleave]

Thank you should be good although Paul can no longer make it but will still be good

[@steelynick]

Well done mate, enjoyed the video, good to see similar thought processes as well, look forward to seeing your Everest Video 🤙

[@krisgleave]

Cheers Nick thanks for that. Definitely need to put a bit of training in for this one haha

[@Ian_Willcock]

Different but very good video that Kris 👍🏻 it’s a good insight to how you got involved in hiking and wild camping. Will be interesting to see who out of the 4 of you does the most assents. My money is on the 4 legged Blue 😆

[@krisgleave]

Cheers Ian! Haha yeah it’ll be a good one for sure. Paul can’t make it now so need to look again the team and start training as had a 4mth break from it all so time to hit the hills.

[@Ian_Willcock]

@@krisgleave will be great to see you back out and look forward to watching your KZbin videos again 👍🏻🥾⛺️

[@AndrewPaulK80]

Not seen you on the channel for ages mate……hope you are doing ok as I know you said you struggle sometimes …..weather’s better now so get yaself out and do some filming bro, we all enjoy it 👍🏻 best wishes

[@krisgleave]

Cheers Andrew I appreciate the support. Yeah it’s been 4 mths since hiking and struggled to get out but yesterday was the first time out and I’ve missed it. Led a group of 19 guys up Snowdon for their Charity Hike and now with that commitment to get out it’s what I needed to get back on it again.

[@JoEvans1968]

Enjoyed that 👍

[@krisgleave]

Thank you 🙌🏼

[@andrewwalpole7401]

Enjoyed the video but its a very expensive event ! £400 pre person in a team or £495 as an individual wow! , Not sure I could find three other people willing to part with £1200

[@krisgleave]

Yeah it’s really expensive this one so not for everyone. It’s the first time doing one like this so thought it’d be good to do and great for content too. All catering and things provided so something different so just sharing why I’m taking part and giving it a go. Not here to really publicise it just sharing it what I’m doing really and people can check it out if they want to if that makes sense.

[@andrewwalpole7401]

I really like the idea Kris but other then food I really can't see what a team of four get for £1600! You also need to take your own tent's. I agree its not going to be for everyone. I'm only guessing but is your team getting a good discount for the free exposure of the event? @@krisgleave
