WALKING AND WILD CAMPING ON THE SOUTH DOWNS WAY | PART 1: WINCHESTER TO EXTON

[@loulou-783]

Back to your old style videos. I had missed them, back on form, thank you.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Glad you like them! Still going to be filming silent videos too cos I like both personally, plus the silent ones are easier to edit. These talking ones take ages to edit and I have a full time job.

[@DawnTalbot-pf5te]

Fair point.

[@1stclassadventures]

Great video Tom

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Thanks 👍

[@davidbrown8947]

I'm so glad you're back. Wild camping, beer, and history. If I watch another video about this, camping gear is better than that camping gear. I'll scream. Thank you again for keeping me entertained 👍

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

I never went anywhere! 🤣 I agree, gear wankers. Cheers mate.

[@GodAtum]

nice i camped in the woodland behind the Beacon Hill trig point too! brilliant views

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

it was better than nothing but further away from the path would have been better, not anyone seemed to care that saw us. can't wait for the next section now.

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

[@Kg51Edelweiss]

Great start to the walk and loved the history

[@bartonianoutdoors]

Am just researching the SDW, a mate and I plan to walk from Eastbourne to Winchester so we'll have to collect the dole from the Hospital of St Cross on my way home ....about 300m further on!

[@hambo8851]

Nice one brother Tom - Godspeed! ✝🙏

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

[@louis6322]

Great video Tom love how you explain the history of the area to. Look forward to seeing the next one. 👊🏻

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Cheers for watching. Yes love history.

[@maurice5992]

Great film as always Tom. I've just completed the SDW in the last couple of weeks walking east to west, pretty sure you and possibly Mike walked past me en route a few miles east of Cocking. It was Saturday 10th June, lots of runners competing in the 'Centurian' 36 hour challenge. Blisteringly hot afternoon . Wasn't sure it was you at the time, but now I know you're filming the walk I'm convinced it was. If so, sorry I didn't say hello!! All the best to you on completing the walk. Looking forward to watching the rest of the filming. Great history content BTW.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Wasn't me mate we did this way back in April, plus we're nowhere near to Cocking, we only did to Exton.

[@davidkirby4367]

Enjoyed the video very much Tom. I have watched the North Downs way videos loads, and should have walked the North Downs way last year, but had to put it off because of work, so 1 May I am setting off again on the North Downs Way,with Bivy and tarp then St Swithuns way to Winchester, and then straight onto the South Downs way, so hopefully may bump into you, would be great to say hello. Good luck on your South Downs way venture , and look forward to the videos 🙂👍

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

awesome thanks for the views mate and wow that's some undertaking, best of luck with that! that'd be great, i should have it finished by autumn this year. message me on my socials and we can arrange to pass each other and maybe camp, schedules permitting!

[@davidkirby4367]

@@TOM_OUTDOORS It’s going to be tough Tom, and my birthday on the 13th of May (66 )but hopefully the ole body will put up with the punishment. I want to do a camp on Wye Crown, as I grew up near Wye. Now in Tonbridge, hopefully our paths will cross on the South Downs, and I will carry a Rosie’s pig Rhubarb Cider, just in case 😃 Good luck 👍👍👍

[@leewillson100]

Looking forward to this series Tom ,great content

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Thanks 👍

[@G4RY1159]

Thanks again fella I keep hoping that one of these days the beverage of choice will be a few swigs of Buckfast Tonic wine, right out the bottle.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

I'll look into it mate. Unless you want to send me a bottle of it and I'll review it in a video.

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

Nice one Tom and Mike 👍… I’ve often thought it would be good to visit a Monastery, they appear to be so restful 😌🙂. Shame about those keys Tom 🤣😜. I’d love to see some footage of yours and Dawn’s B&B type trip … nice to have a bit of luxury 😁

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

ok i'll see what i can do, definitely want to post the stonehenge video!

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

@@TOM_OUTDOORS Woo hoo: Stonehenge would be cool 👍… if I see garden gnomes and a pond I’ll know you filmed it in your back garden 😉

[@donaldmiller8767]

LOL cool intro man

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

cheers mate!

[@paulroossien5322]

Nice one tom i know you have been wanting to do the south downs way looking forward to the rest of the 100 miles cheers

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Thanks 👍

[@ianbell5611]

Thanks Tom Great video as always. Beautiful scenery and history. Keys left in Mike's car...bugger, Iv'e done the same thing Tom. How good is the porters lodge Very cool. Cheers

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Thanks 👍

[@markshaw9342]

Great entertainment. Thank you. Just for curiosity, is there a problem camping along the route like you did? I was wondering why you mentioned the people who spotted you, as if it was an illegal act or something.

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

do you live in the UK? our laws state that it's classed as civil trespass.

[@markshaw9342]

@@TOM_OUTDOORS Thank you for the info. I'm English but living abroad right now. When I return, I want to do the South Downs way. All the best!

[@TheBridget1953]

Would you know if there are any web sites where you could talk to other long distance walking enthusiast

[@TOM_OUTDOORS]

Facebook has loads of outdoors groups on there. 👍
