Weight loss journey episode14. My Wildest Adventure yet ! Part 1
In this episode I attempt to take on the first 20 miles of the Pennine Way over the next 3 days and 2 nights.
The weather was due to be a mixed bag of sunshine, cloud and rain with a max of 20mph winds.
But as you know the weather has a way of changing its mind quite quickly, in this case, the wind certainly did.
Come join me on this adventure where the weather really told me who was boss and that I should ALWAYS respect mother nature!!!

In fact, I have been thinking of doing a UA-cam channel with a similar idea, only mine is due to having cancer for the second time. I have always loved the outdoors, but chemotherapy really knocks it out of you. I have all the gear as I planned on doing the Pennine Way on my 50th, but ended up being diagnosed with stage 4 Lymphoma, so that put a stop to my plans. I was given 2 months to live if I didn't have treatment, I obviously did, but ten years have now passed and I now have Leukemia. Anyway, I am planning to get out there in the new year and use that gear. Some people say I should sell it, but if I do that, I have given up on my dream. The Pennine Way might not be achievable in my condition, but what you do very well might be. Thanks for everything you are doing and congratulations on your achievement. Stay safe and keep warm.

    Great content, nice to see someone starting out with Hammock camping. Try and pitch the hammock a little higher so you can sit in it with knees bent like a chair, perfect for a cuppa and no need to "Roll Out" 😮 also google tarp prusik knots to have the tarp tight across the Ridgeline, this wil give you more space underneath. HAPPY HAMMOCKING

    Can not believe the tent was only 50q .. I seen more expensive tents, do a lot worse, in that kind of wind... I tell ya , it always hair rasing when people show up in the middle of the night... But to be honest, I'm always a bit more nervous, when it just a person, and their not making any sound 😮 Again really enjoyed the video/ show, as always.. I'll stop waffling/ Rambling on ... Take care, and GOD BLESS!! Oh , you already don't look like you did in the first video/ show .. Already look like two different people, I'm sure you already feel different as well... Keep up the Great work... Ok I'll really stop waffling/ Rambling this time... Again, take care and, GOD BLESS!

      Hey there Lee, don't apologies for waffling lol. It's always really nice to hear from you. Yes mate the weight loss has made a huge difference already. I feel lighter, I can move better, I can walk longer, my knees hurt less than before and of course I am starting to look a little like the old me again :). Glad you enjoyed this episode, take care, best wishes.

    Great news. Most steaks 🥩 I see cooked on or near camp fires are burnt to a crisp or raw. Maybe cooking the steak in some foil in the embers of a fire might be the way to go. After all you don’t want a blazing fire at night if you’re wild camping as you’ll probably have unwanted visitors. Looking forward to the weigh in Saturday. Best wishes. Charlie.
