Making me jealous 😩 walking the south west coastal route. But hopefully next year in 2024

[@bryanr.3241]

Looks like a beautiful time 👌

[@alanwetherelt7155]

Another great watch, I do like the straps that make the bed mats into seats , again I feel blessed to be Cornish , we spend most Mondays babysitting in Porthleven

[@pulchralutetia]

Beautiful. I finished the SWCP in June having done it in 10 stages over four years (cos of lockdown). I really enjoyed it and enjoyed looking at your video, which brought back so many great memories.

[@BenOrford]

Congratulations that’s great news. So far we have only managed a small section maybe 250 miles but can’t wait to get back on the coast path 👍

[@adrianovery5]

@@BenOrford would love to get out in that neck of the woods someday! Keep up the quality content and craftsmanship!

[@obscure01]

Was finding food an issue?

[@debbiebaxter5768]

Great tips and comments. Thank you x

[@ollyf5088]

I’m literally heading down on Monday so perfect timing ha walking Bude to Port Isaac. Not wild camping unfortunately although I want to eventually. Enjoyed watching :D

[@tyronehale4017]

Awesome video mate!! Given me some good tips on my first camp in Cornwall after a bike ride. I'm taking the coastal path after tehidy woods way 😃

[@HooHikers]

Great Video, doing the Coastal later this year so looking forward to it.

[@BenOrford]

[@BenOrford]

Fantastic glad you like what we get up too. Many thanks cheers Ben

[@joncox9098]

Great video, really interesting. Thanks

[@warwickshireoutdoors]

That was great guys.

[@TheLuapsch]

Absolutely amazing trek.

[@thepeanutgallery1699]

Wish I knew that trough water trick when I hiked ODP and the Cotswolds Way... Those Clwydian hills can get really dry...

[@Rudecheers]

Oh wow, nice filming and editing. Great to see you both out and about. 🍀

[@thepeanutgallery1699]

how many miles did you add backtracking for shots? Lol. :-)

[@leslieharding8560]

Thinking of doing at least.part of this walk.Great insight to what I might expect to tackle. Love the inflatable chairs you have, could you put a link up from where you got them, look soooo comfy!. Thanks for a beautifully shot video, can't wait to start planning this walk. 👍👍

[@BenOrford]

Thanks a lot so pleased you enjoyed it. It’s amazing part of the coast and even if you get a few days it’s so worth it. Sure they are good chair kits that use your thermarest sleeping mat to turn into a chair. Very light and very worth carrying to rest your legs. We got them from Ultralight outdoor gear Hope that helps. cheers Ben

[@leslieharding8560]

@@BenOrford Thanks for that, such a good idea, will get myself a kit. Looking forward to your next adventures 👍🙂

[@BenOrford]

@@leslieharding8560 great stuff we just uploaded the day walk from Looe to Polperro which is a lovely walk. cheers Ben

[@nancyvaughn1853]

This is beautiful 😍

[@camerachica73]

Was that Loe Bar at 25:55? If so don't swim there ever - there is a very steep gravelly shelf below the waterline and also rapid currents.

[@omniviking]

Outstanding Trek

[@petedixon7590]

Just a note of caution with the water you collected. Just because it was coming out of a blue plastic water pipe don't just assume its connected to the mains as some comes from stored tanks and e en streams pouring into a 45 gallon drum with a pipe connector attached. It's me t for cattle so I would still filter as normal.

[@MrBlaugeist]

Awesome

[@tenzin044]

Hi there! I’m planning walk this summer from St. Ives to Penzance. Just think if I could sleep in my tent as well. Officially it’s prohibited but…Do you think guys in this distance for 4 days it’s to much time? Tom

[@joncartwright5612]

Ben would you mind letting us know what boots you were wearing as they did not look like ‘traditional’ walking boots? Thanks in advance.

[@solitudeinthewild82]

Great video, my friend! Enjoyed watching your trip, your bushcraft skills are terrific! And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, Ben, and welcome to my channel about Russian bushcraft tips and secrets! Kind regards, Yuriy!

[@stephenwilson6425]

Hey Guys!! Early nn the video Lois drew potable water from a self-filling spigot on the train. We live on the Old Fort (Road) Trail in North Carolina (USA). I would like to place one along the trail for our backpacking visitor. Can I ask you to explain how it works? Thanks! - - Stephen - - Veteran Emeritus

[@wagnerswagner496]

Hi Stephen, I’ve been section hiking the SW coast path like this fine couple. As the path walks on private land, for much of it, most of it is farming land - particularly for cows and sheep. The farmers have run water lines and link them up to trough. She opened the compartment and it works just like the inside of a toilet, minus the flushing. So if the water level gets low it will fill up and you can self manipulate the lever like she did to get water. I actually didn’t realize it was potable - I usually filter mine. There are also many streams along the coastal path - similar to the Appalachian trail (I’m American and have lived in England for ten years).

[@FernFlowerPower]

Horses were like: "OMG, they're filming! Act natural!"

[@BenOrford]

Haha love it 👍

[@timdunn7278]

Boot review time Ben?

[@anthonydeacon881]

Good to see Lois reusing a plastic bottle (about 1.45 min into the video). We demonize plastics but they are incredibly useful and have undoubtedly brought us benefits. I always try to reuse/repurpose plastic containers whenever I can do so. I can never understand why anyone would actually BUY a water bottle when we (humans) chuck away so many billions of useful plastic bottles every day!

[@nickjoel5288]

How did you get permission to camp on the path?

[@mattt6854]

Have been thinking of doing something similar: are you allowed to camp wherever or do you have to ask landowners... or is it just a case of being discreet, leaving no trace and moving on early-doors?

[@Mrwillyface69]

In england wild camping is illegal mate but be discrete and be tidy and no one will bother you but in Scotland it’s freeedom everywhere you can camp wherever you want allso drinking water is everywhere and easy to wash outside fuck England lol
