Loved every minute of it Big G Dog. Type 2 fun all the way 😝

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks DD your company was most welcome. Easier one next year? 🤘🤘

[@dpimperton]

I think so 🤣

Cape Wrath Trail anyone? 😂

Houston, we have a negative on that trajectory. Repeat: we have a negative on that trajectory

[@themountainmen9484]

That has to be without doubt your best video yet.Graham it was a roller coaster of emotion, there was history, japery(albeit a poor dad joke) there was joy and the sadness from your dig, then the struggle of the journey, then the delight of reaching Northumberland, then finally reaching not only the causeway but crossing onto the island. That's got to be the most I have been engrossed in a video this year!!! Plus the cheese was a winner too. 100% makes me want to try it, maybe more type2 for me at times😂😂😂 But honest, what a belta, thanks for sharing

[@grahamswildcamping]

What a great comment, honestly, thank you, makes me think doing a few more videos is worthwhile 🙏 I enjoyed most of the walk but some was definitely type 2 fun 😅 it was a great joy to get across to the Island on the Pilgrims way though. Thank you again and ATVB, Graham 👍👍👍

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

13 minutes in nothing wrong with getting emotional about your dog mate be watching more on my dinner break atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Jimmy, she was with us for 15 years and a big miss 🙏

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

@@grahamswildcamping I'm still emotional about my Staff KC she passed away 7 years ago at the grand age of 17.5 years

[@grahamswildcamping]

Aye, special bond between a man and his dog mate

[@donnavansenior]

Well done lads, that's quite the achievement, even if it was type 2 achievement for a lot of the way. Cheers for the wee shout out and pleased you had a proper hot brew. Sorry to hear about your dog though. Well done on hiking across the causeway, that's a fine way to finish the walk, but I didn't realise it was that length either! atb DVS :)

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Donna, really pleased I walked it, much of it was beautiful but my boots and weather made some of it type 2 fun- I think the lads were sick of me whinging 😂 It was great to see Shaun Mc towards the end as well, gave us all a real boost. Cheers DVS, ATB, Graham 👍👍

[@macinthewild8116]

Brilliant video mate , you really captured the essence of multi day hikes. The ups and downs are an emotional rollercoaster ! Thanks again for the pint!

[@dpimperton]

Thank you for the delicious pork pie and hospitality, proper gent ❤️

[@grahamswildcamping]

Honestly mate, you provided exactly the boost I needed right at the end, not sure I could have done it without 🙏🙏👍👍

Great video. I know the land around this route really well. It never disappoints. Great stuff. For the stretch between Morebattle and Kirk Yetholm come back and do it.

[@grahamswildcamping]

We discussed that at the time- I think I will!

[@thegeordiewildcamper]

Lovely journey Graham, stunning route with such a variety of scenery. Cheers for sharing and well done

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Steven, I’ve just rewatched your video and it was great to see places I’ve just hiked again. All three of us felt that the kilometres simply weren’t adding up somehow and we recorded many more than the map said! I found it quite a tough walk in just 3 1/2 days and I would have loved to take more time over it. All the best mate, Graham 👍

[@TheGreatRaymondoOutdoors]

Great video Graham. I loved the dad joke 😂😂 some lovely seats along that hike eh? Sorry to hear about your dog they really are one of the family I still can't think about my last dog without wanting to bubble up mate. Just shows you're a good bloke in my opinion🙏

What a trek!! I totally loved the longer content. My sympathies to you and your family for your furry family member Cassie. A passing that rips ones guts apart for a lifetime. Charge up your batteries for your holiday with your lovely wife. Cheers!

Thanks Tami. She lived a good long life but we do miss our Cassie. Looking forward to the holiday now, ATB as always, Graham 🙏🙏👍👍

What a great achievement lad's I'm glad you got to the end Graham really enjoyed watching this I totally agree why push the miles take it easy and enjoy the view's of the walk have a great holiday with the wife atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Jimmy, I think that's sort of my philosophy now- to enjoy rather than endure. Looking forward to getting dome sun now. Fly tomorrow. ATB, Graham 🤘👍

[@Markwildcamp]

Great trip Graham, looked very enjoyable, one I've had on the to do list for ages. Maybe next year

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Mark, It's pretty doable, not too long with great scenary. My boots let me down a bit- not fitness (honest). I'm sure you'll do the section I missed. ATB, Graham

Loved this Graham. Viewed at the right time as just the other day, I was saying to my son that I fancied doing this.😊 Thanks

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks very much, it’s a great little adventure. If I did it again I’d do it over a longer time period to take it all in better, ATB, Graham 👍

[@garrygreen3210]

Outstanding Graham lad, loved the video. No issue with the lift, you are doing the way, the way you doing it ... not to set any conscientious records. Glad you got to Lindisfarne, and loved the Pilgrims Way crossing ... its a special place for sure. All the best mate.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks very much, appreciate the comments about doing it your own way, you're totally right. Was just pleased I got to the end however I got there ! ATB, Graham 👍👍

Hi mate, Loved the seat at the start of the walk. what an adventure, Its definitely on my bucket list.

[@grahamswildcamping]

@@thebackingpackinggeordie it’s a good walk Phil, one of the shorter long distance paths but full of history. Great seat at the beginning! All the best mate 👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks mate, that is really appreciated, it was a good little adventure! 👍

[@AlbertOutdoorsUK]

Another great video Graham, thank you for sharing it. I relived doing the same trail last year. Seeing the sea was a fantastic feeling. I’m sorry to hear that you lost your dog recently, I bet that she had a great life though and wouldn’t have wanted for anything. I’ve just bought a selfie stick and plan on filming my next wild camping trip, hopefully in the next few weeks. Thanks again Graham and atb 👍

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thank you, Cassie was a big loss. I got a real boost seeing the sea on the walk, knowing we were that bit closer to our goal. Doing a little video of your adventures is a great idea- helps to preserve those memories. Thank you again, and all the best, Graham

Really enjoyed this one Graham and brought back good memories for me. Bloody horrible losing a dog mate, the are family members. Good call taking transport when running out of time as it's precious holiday time that should be enjoyed with good memories. All the best and thanks for sharing the adventure.

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks mate, I think it was the right decision to get a lift for that little bit and it did preserve the joy of the rest of the trip. Thanks for your comment about Cassie, yes they’re definitely family. ATB, Graham 🙏

What a great vid and epic journey Graham (and pals!) Loved it. I was at Cuddies Cave in '19 as me and a pal were riding the off-road 'Sandstone way' Very moving... How good are the memories, now that you are in Pathos? Thanks for the tip regarding talcum powder. I'll stop sprinkling it on my chips🤣 #outstanding 🏆

[@milesfromanywhere.]

Nice one Graham, did this trail around 6 weeks ago. It’s a beautiful walk through some of the finest countryside I’ve witnessed. Due to a few reasons the walk wasn’t done the way I’d originally planned so I’ll be doing it again asap and I’ll certainly finish it the correct way along the pilgrims route! Well done lads. Atb Dave

[@grahamswildcamping]

Thanks Dave, it is a good route, I do wish I could have taken more time over it though, but gotta balance those family responsibilities. What was unplanned on your route? Don't have to answer!- just curious. ATB Graham 👍👍

[@garryclarke1234]

Cracking video, sorry about the dog mate.youll have to get some better boots for the next one.must try and get up there next year.

[@grahamswildcamping]

You're right about the boots! Need a wider fitting toe box. Worth the effort to get up, it's a smashing trail, ATB, Graham 👍👍
