    Just so you know, Paul. As much as I (and presumably most others) enjoy these daily vlogs, there's no pressure to continue them. I get that today was just one of thoes days but if something serious comes up and you can't continue we wont mind.

    For a "nothing" video I think it's one of the better ones, purely because it's so relatable. The amount things I've put of for made up excuses, then regretted not just doing it the next day is insane. So well done for making yourself for your own sake and not ours

    I went for a hike today, with all the wrong gear for the weather. Undressed was is an understatement. But, just getting out, getting a little luck and getting some exercise in the peaks did me the world of good. You don't have to get the plans or organisation right everytime. Just being there for the experience is enough, whatever it is you enjoy

  • @GaryB_OutandAbout
    @GaryB_OutandAbout 2 місяці тому +7

    So true though Paul,
    It’s sometimes these little 6 minute ‘nothing videos’ as you called it, that really resonate.
    Those days where we, let’s be honest, just can’t be arsed, on the times I’ve forced myself out, even for just a 45 min walk, I feel so much better for doing it.
    Sometimes it’s the little things that matter 👍🏼
    Cheers,
    Gary B

  • @CristiNeagu

    Here is a purpose for your video.
    Guys, you know Paul goes camping to all these awesome places. Lake District, Peak District, all the districts, etc. And it's great. But look where he is now. He's taking a walk around his town. And it looks like it's a walk he takes regularly. Even him, who takes those amazing trips, takes walks in his neighbourhood. Don't sit around all day, doing nothing, thinking that you need to go out in an amazing location to put some steps in. Find a route around your neighbourhood. Walk it daily. It matters a lot. You don't need a special occasion to be healthy. Just go out there, put one foot in front of the other, and see where it takes you.

Just make things you enjoy. yeah, you might lose some fans, but you'll gain others.
