Great video and lots of useful information, thanks!

Jake2009leeds: Glad it was of use. Thanks for watching.

Great video. Very well put together and highly watchable. Glad you showed places of historical interest instead of just blasting through with your face buried in the selfie camera like a few others have done. Thanks for sharing .

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@bangyai3194 : really glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking time out to comment. I do try and do things slightly different to other content out there. So really happy that is striking a chord. Thanks again for watching.

Brilliant editing my friend, you definitely know how to capture atmosphere.

That’s very kind of you to say. Thank you. And thank you for taking the time watch and comment.

I’ve just discovered your channel, it’s great to watch your videos, really well edited! I live on the South Downs and love running along them

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Gez Man: Thank you for stumbling across my content. Always nice to hear that the efforts are appreciated. I can’t say I’d be running the South Downs anytime soon! The ground didn’t do my ankles any good at all lol! Thanks again.

[@MikeSmith777]

Really dont know why I didn't subscribe after your CtoC video, (rectified that now), came across this, due to my intention of completing this walk in May 2023, and knew that it would be worth watching, it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to watching your future adventures, Atb.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Mike Smith: Thanks for returning! And thank you for subscribing. It is very much appreciated. I hope the video was of some use of you plan to do this in May. (Good luck on that trip). I am just editing my NC500 trip which should be ready soon. I do plan on doing another long walk around the same time you are on the downs. Thank you once again.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@stewarthollingsworth200 : Really glad that my Video was of some use to you. I had a blast. Even though the weather wasn’t the greatest. It’s always good when people find some value in my trips. You seem to be a decent walker yourself. The SWC path is something on my list. Not sure if I will get it done this year. But it’s a definite one for me to tick off. Thanks again for watching.And good luck with your trips.

[@MarionDawe]

Thanks for telling us the path conditions under foot....very usefull..hardly anyone does that.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@MarionDawe Thank you for watching and taking time out to comment. Really appreciated. I try to be as helpful as I can when I’m out doing these walks. So I’m really happy that you have got some use from the content.

[@andrewrawlance6651]

Many thanks for sharing your video with us, shame the weather was not kinder to you. Well done.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Andrew Rawlance: whilst it rained on me every day (and ridiculous rain at that)! There were moments as you saw when the weather was out of this world. I had an absolute blast doing the walk. And may in the future do it again …. But this time in glorious sunshine! My next long distance walk will be back in Scotland no doubt. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.

[@seancashin6135]

New subscriber here. Just watched your SDW vid and loved it. Thanks mate. I did the walk many years ago and stopped in b&bs in the villages, mainly because of my penchant for a country pub! Looking forward to the C2C vid next.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@seancashin6135 : Thanks for watching and thank you for the sub. Really glad you enjoyed the SDW. I hope the C2C is as pleasing. I’m currently editing both my west highland way and Hebridean way trips. So they should be out at some point. Thanks again.

[@leegripton5049]

Thanks mate I enjoyed that with a large G n T. Looks like a cracking part of the country

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Cheers Lee. Thanks for your support. It was a great experience…… rain and all!

[@callanist]

Really enjoyed this video record of your epic walk along the South Downs - a great shame the weather wasn't more kind, but you made the most. Thank you for sharing your experience & insights, the W3W references were very useful, and your whole outlook refreshing - looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Clive Abraham: thank you for watching and taking time out to comment. Really glad that my account was useful. With regards the weather. Of course I would have loved the same experience as the coast to coast I did. But each walk I do should be different in some way. It was still massively enjoyable. Many more adventures to come! Thanks again. 🤗

[@bethiakittify]

Excellent vlog, as always. Such a shame you had so much rain, but the beauty of the landscape shone through. Good to see the What Three Words locations throughout. You are inspirational - carry on walking!

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Katy Jordan: such kind words. I do my best and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Just trying out some new bits with the w3w. So if it is useful I shall carry in with it. Thank you again for watching. I have my NC500 trip waiting to be edited. So hopefully that will be uploaded soon.

[@grahamparsons2642]

Very well done, loved this video. Im doing the South Downs on 22nd May and you have aided my conquest.

Graham Parsons: Glad you liked the video. Really happy it’s helped you in some way. Hope you have glorious time on the walk. Let me know how it goes!

That’s very kind of you to say! Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to make contact. Really appreciated.

[@TheWalkingKev]

Great video as usual. Looks a good trail this one with lots of facilities along the way. Shame the weather was pretty grim at times, but that heightens the good days.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@TheWalkingKev : In all honesty. I actually loved this walk. Despite my protestations! It’s one I’d do again. I’m currently uploading my West Highland Way at the moment. But it’s taking some time. Spookily enough I was actually watching your channel a few days ago. I’ve subscribed.

[@TheWalkingKev]

@@thecowboycamper1195 random! I was going to ask what walks you were currently editing. I've got a bit of a project burning away in the background, but it's going to take until mid next year to complete. I'd like to do more long hikes.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@TheWalkingKev : west highland way which right now is 50% uploaded. And in the next few weeks I hope to have edited my Hebridean way walk. That one was epic!

[@TheWalkingKev]

@@thecowboycamper1195 sounds good I look forward to watching them.

Beautifully done! Really nice. Heading out in a few weeks to complete this!

Melanie Garden: Really glad you enjoyed it thank you. Hope you have better weather than I did. But even if you don’t. Make sure you enjoy the experience.

[@mattwu7884]

Walked it last summer. Was supper hot. Some parts of the route are beautiful. However quite a large part of it was just grinding. Love the pink pit stop on the way for a break for coffee. 😄

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@mattwu7884 : glad you had better weather! In truth I loved the whole experience. Who knows?! I might do it again. Thanks for watching.

[@mattwu7884]

@@thecowboycamper1195 I think it was too hot to be honest. Remember it was like 34 something degree and need to walk that for 8 hours +a day. Tried Cleveland way. I did part of it few weeks ago. Way more beautiful.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@mattwu7884 : I shall try the Cleveland way in the future. I’m just editing my west highland way and Hebridean way vids. Both great walks.

[@stuartb9194]

I just finished the trail, lucky to have had better weather though. Great video, something a bit different and calm vibe 👍

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@stuartb9194. Thanks for watching. And thank you for you comments. Congrats on completing your walk. I will soon be putting out my West highland way walk. Haven’t got round to editing yet! I’m going to attempt the Hebridean way in a couple of weeks so should be epic.

[@MsCheesemonster13]

Your videos are absolutely stunning - real works of art. I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel 😅

[@kamon830]

Just finished the south downs walk over a few weekends and enjoyed your video you captured all the good bits , its a great walk i have done a coast to coast myself a little bit different to yours east to west from Ramsgate along the pilgrims way to Winchester then onto Salisbury, Stonehenge , Glastonbury , Mendip way , Western Super mare , i did this over sections and one you might enjoy ....

[@thecowboycamper1195]

Kamon830: congratulations on completing your walk. Doing a section walk is a good way of doing it. It’s something I may think about on some of the longer trips I have in mind. I’ve not thought about the pilgrims way. So that’s something I will look at. Thank-you for the idea. And thanks for watching and commenting.

[@kamon830]

@@thecowboycamper1195 Thank you and the same to you . There are some great walks and hills on the pilgrims way , North downs is part of it similar to the south but different views lots of history along the way . i shall watch a few more of your vids .

[@sinbadwilmot417]

Nice video! I am in the process of walking this in stages, sadly I don't get enough time to do a through hike at the moment. I recommend the Cotswold Way, Ridgeway and Hadrian's wall path too. And if you make it to my neck of the woods, the Wicklow Way.

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@sinbadwilmot417 : Thank you for your recommendations. I do plan to do the Cotswolds way at some point this year. Along with some other projects. Doing a walk in stages is a good thing to do. Especially if time is an issue. Cheers for watching and taking time to comment.

[@damien2655]

Hi how long did it take from Winchester to Exton

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@damien2655 : I honestly cant remember. However I walk at a pace of 3mph at my quickest. The distance to Exton I believe is about 10-11miles so it would have taken me around 4hrs to 4.5hrs with stops. It all depends on what your personal pace is.

[@steveparkinson8887]

When u put info on screen, maybe keep it there a wee bit longer, loved ur vid but a bit too fast at times, all the best

[@thecowboycamper1195]

@steveparkinson8887 thanks for the comments. All taken on board and fully appreciated. These videos are a learning process for me as I’m self taught. Really happy to hear any critique that will make the content better. Glad you enjoyed it.
