The South Downs Way National Trail in Three Minutes

[@PaulOutdoors]

Marvellous Abbie and....what a great feeling it is to witness the world rushing to school and work under your feet on a Monday morning when you don't have to 😊👍

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Exactly! Thanks Paul!

[@mozdickson]

Agree - one of THE best parts of any holiday!

[@Jason-Peters]

I grew up on the South Downs Way ... It went through our farm, passed our garden gate, but I've still not walked it ... I will one day ... You've inspired me again Abbie!! :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

No way!!! That's so cool!

[@janinebarrett4299]

This brought back memories of when I solo walked the SDW in June. I want to do another longer walk and your videos are a true inspiration :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thank you! Enjoy your next walk, wherever you land up!

[@shanethetrain8132]

@@AbbieBarnesWILD where did you sleep? I want to do the walk but holiday firms are asking upwards of 700 quid!

[@maggiedoor6093]

Great, we watched your full version too. It's on my list for when I retire in two years. We visit UK every year and the South East is home, but time is taken up with looking in on family and short walks. I look at your smiling face in the video and it echoes my emotions when I am walking. Nothing beats it, especially when I can see the sea!

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Enjoy it! Short walks can be good too but they are definitely different. Stay WILD! Abbie

[@nigelmiller407]

I was lucky enough to retrace some of the S.D.W. this year, which I walked the full length over 20 years ago, thanks Abbie for your shortened version this time, it reminded me of some happy memories.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Glad you enjoyed the trail when you walked it. Sure is great :)

[@kenhenley7599]

Nice one! Can't wait for the better weather.

[@stevesmith3990]

Thanks so much Abbie, I really needed that this Monday morning!

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks Steve!

[@andyhill9562]

Finished it in October,enjoyed it from start to finish

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Congrats!!

[@zennor_man]

Great start to my week.....

[@mozdickson]

Thanks Abbie. Think I'll do that one, bit open, but nice to finish on coast and then celebrate in Mod's Town.

[@jimbobharry2003]

Walking the SDW was the best thing i ever did. It got me over a terrible time in my life :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Yes! Thats so great to hear!

[@anthonylangford8575]

I walked it last year with a mate. Absolutely wonderful. We are walking her big sister this year (north Downs way)and hopefully the big one in Spain in a couple of years time.

[@macbitz]

Great job! I live very near the South Downs Way and have been privileged to walk many parts of it, but never the whole thing. Maybe it's about time I did.

[@onenation9510]

I can't wait to experience the South Downs Ways on my bike as I'm moving down to Sussex this summer! Great video!

[@andreamolloy6254]

Great video thank you

[@WalksWithOlly]

Really nice, Abbie. I remember your full length video and I look forward to walking this trail next year. Still deliberating over east to west or west to east... :-)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Oh cool, hope you enjoy it!

[@jde9095]

Awesome :-)

[@minecraftr298]

pretty crazy coinsidense, i was out at butser hill yesterday, the gate to it was there, today its gone! lol

[@bookofnahum445]

Tried it this year.Had to give up .Bit so many times by horseflies .Unbelievable amount of horseflies.

[@aharonlerer6354]

Amazing, yet again. Just wondering how many days would you say it takes to complete the sdw

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

It varies really - between 4 and.6 I guess?!

[@TimAtkinson-q5z]

Planning to do South Downs Way this year. I've done few and I love The Cotswold Way but which is your favourite national trail Abbie?

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hmmmmm.. I love them all for different reasons! But the SWCP is epic 😎

[@BriansVlog]

how do you pick your walks and know how hard or easy they are and do you have to walk all the way back (prob a silly question)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

I pick them based on places on interest and amount of things to share, and how far they are away etc. A lot of them are walks I do all the time anyway :) Usually I don't know how far they are, but if my car is somewhere and I am some where else, I just have to keep going!!

[@moustaphabaya7887]

is wild camping accepted on the trail? love the short videos btw

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Not really around this area. It quite urban. Although you could probably get away with bivying!

Abbie knocks spots off Julia Bradbury.
