No one had ever, ever walked 22.59 miles in a day... until now! That radio voice was spot on... it made me produced a farting noise with my mouth trying to cancel a laugh, and now my socially distanced office thinks I'm even weirder than before. Earned that pizza and coke Mr Larwood! :)
I doubt my record will ever be broken. I might get a job as a DJ.
You’ve done brilliant
Thanks Lucy.
Wow, well done Marek, that sure looked hard work! You did awesome!
Longest walk was 26 miles home when my car got stuck in snow. One stop at Tesco Express for a bag full of calories and another at a pub for a couple of pints. Made it back home by 2 a.m. with some big blisters.
That sounds like an horrific journey cool dude.
Just shy of 28 miles - 45km.. doing the Black mountain challenge. I've done it 3 times in total. Up & down mountains for a whole day 😅🤘
That sounds 0% enjoyable. I like to start the walk on a hill and then stay on the hill for the rest of it.
Most ever walked was 26 miles on this very walk. Trail running shoes and a much lighter pack enabled me to do it wilding camping each night.
I am too nervous to try wild camping. 26 miles on hills is exhausting cool dude.
thanks for the walk and comedy xxx
Watching the south downs series daily has been the highlight of my mornings Marek, cheers mate.
Fab. Loving the series. I reckon you would love the Ridgeway. Similar path but with more stuff to see en route.
Yes the Ridgeway is on my list. Have done bits of it and it's great.
Thanks cool dude. Glad you've been enjoying it.
Love it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
24.5 miles Yorkshire Three Peaks. Have done it twice now both times threatening to burn my boots at the end
Get some trail running trainers!
The sky was sooo blue
Marek, the sun just shines on everything you do
I sincerely hope that song didn't plague the rest of your walk 🤣
Love this series, its been a treat to watch every day!
Thanks Gemma. I wonder how many other people's lives that song has ruined.
Personal walking record:
One day in the mid 1980s, my boss forgot to pick me up from work and take me home, so rather than bother my parents, I walked 15+ miles from Cwmcarn to my home in Pillgwenlly in Newport. In the dark in wellies and a boiler suit 😂
But I was in my teens, fit and had 50p for a bag of chips in Risca, so why the heck not, right? 😊
Then I got told off by my mum for not finding a phone box and calling her so she could send my dad to get me lol
The blisters must have been awful cool dude in the welllies.
Straight on over to day five on my rewatch. Up up up the ziganaught, lickitty split. The uphill endeavour.
Well done for breaking your own personal record! This has been the best video of your series so far. When you said' Truleigh Hill Radio Station'... I knew what was coming and it did not disappoint! I'm surprised you didn't have anything to say about the pile of skulls beneath the Meridian Point sign. I found that descent along "ocean drive" to be particularly horrible on my trek.
Looking forward to Day 6. I'm glad you didn't attempt it in for days, or there wouldn't be as many videos. ;-) All the best.
My personal record is still 30 miles along the West Mendip Way. I normally do it once a year... But haven't even thought about trying to beat it.
I wondered what those stones were there for. I was too exhausted to even open my mouth by then.
@@cdwc I didn't know at the time but the sign says something like 'Meridian West / Meidian East', which could've been a clue. Seems like a strange place for it though, not perfectly down the centre of Britain.
Epic walk mate - your feet must have been killing you after that ! Very enjoyable video. Cheers !
It was my shoulders from the heavy bag that hurt the most. Stay cool.
another great video, interesting to see the walks around brighton i haven't been on yet
Worth visiting the South Downs. You are near some of the best bits.
Not sure but possibly spoiler alerts need to inserted for *ocean drive by lighthouse family* in future videos, it's stuck in my head for about the same amount of time haha ! Great work Cool Dude ! :)
I only heard it once 15 years ago and it is still in my head.
Loving the series. I reckon you would love the Ridgeway. Similar sort of walk but with more to do en route. I hope the PayPal thingy worked.
Thanks again Steve.
Loved all the gliders. That was pretty cool. Another awesome video. That badger gets around doesn't he? Lol. Thank you for another beautiful view of your walk. Love the commentary lol you're awesome! ♡
Thanks Tina. I loved seeing the paragliders it was strangely hypnotic.
@@cdwc I can totally understand why.
I’m really enjoying these videos 👍🏻
The furthest I’ve walked in a day was 16 miles of the Test Way, Wherwell to Romsey.
I’d definitely recommend it 🦡🐑🤨
Thank you. I will put that walk on my list. Stay cool.
Best video of the series so far. I enjoyed immensely. So funny. Hope you can take some solace in the fact that you're sharing the Ocean Drive earworm. Also, congratulations on breaking your personal record. Hooray! Also also, hope you treated yourself to something wonderful after finishing the whole thing.
Ha. I treated myself to some sleep.
Really impressive mate! And always really enjoyable to watch. My record is 18 miles with only a 10kg pack and I tore my meniscus doing it, so I'm in pain at the mere thought of you having to carry on the next day after that. Fantastic job
I think my pack was 16kg when I weighed it when I got back. I don't know how these ultralight people manage to do long walks with about 5kg.
Just wondering - could you make a playlist of videos which don’t feature… *that* song?
My sanity thanks you in advance 😁 😂
The longest I have ever walked was last weekend when I walked 17.9 miles from Southease to Eastbourne along the South Downs Way. I’ve only done that bit so far, as part of a walk from my house in Tooting (south London) to Eastbourne. I’m planning on doing the whole south Downs Way in the near future. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing you do the last 17.9 miles to Eastbourne Marek. Stay cool.
The last bit is really difficult I thought and strangely bleak, but maybe it was the weather on the day.
Love these videos! Inspired to get out and plan some short local walks here in Ireland during lockdown. Apparently I'm the first Irish member of the Cool Dudes Walking Club! # 128.
Yes make some walking videos of Ireland would love to see them.
So brave with the cows , any top tips , they scare the hell out if me , I hide it well on my videos
I don't know what you're supposed to do either, they terrify me. If they are close to you that is OK, just don't let then run at you. If anyone knows the correct behaviour when walking by cows please write it below.
Keep away from the young ones, oh and the calves
50km a day, 2 days in a row, 1000m = 3300ft per day climb, Diekirch March. Luxembourg
But, there are thousands of people and a great atmosphere so it’s totally different.
Very nice footage! Big like👍 from me! I also love hiking, fishing/hunting with my dog and make some videos. Keep on!!!
Thanks cool dude.
My record is probably 26.5 miles in a day, same as everyone else - Walk The Wight!
I must do this.
@@cdwc Are you telling me you've never done Walk The Wight?! That's next year's Cool Dudes Walking Club Official Walk sorted, then.
How many times can I join the Cool Dudes Walking Club? Can I split my soul up into pieces and use the membership cards as Horcruxes?
All the Cool Dudes members should donate as much as possible. I will draw an extra pair of cool sunglasses on your membership card.
I really enjoy your IOW walking and travel vids btw Kittikoko.
I just translated your walk into Australian. 22.6 miles is 36.4 km. That’s quite a lot. Well done. Also what are downs? I don’t know what that a down is? Are there North Ups or are they all downs? Are there east and west downs? Sounds a bit depressing if they are all down. Also why are they all downs when clearly they are ups and downs and over there’s? Don’t you think Down is a weird spelling of a word. Doone is how you say it. I say it Doun.
I agree maybe they should all be called 'Ups' it sounds much more optimistic.
Loving the Daily Doses
😄👍
Thanks Steve. Stay cool.
36.4 miles is my personal record
Maybe without a heavy backpack I could just about manage that.
@@cdwcI beat that record recently! 40.55
Your videos are brilliant mate.
I'd rather skewer my testicles with a screwdriver than listen to Ocean Drive. Furthest I have walked in a day is 63 miles (100km) for charity last year. Hoping to do the SDW next year. BTW did you see any actual badgers? Stay cool Marek. Cheers 😊
The most I have walked in one day is 26.5 miles. It was a really hot day, too. I was completely worn out afterwards.
I was lucky it was a bit cooler. Hot days are a killer.
@@cdwc It was a killer and belief me, after about 10 miles I was starting to regret it.
Although you bemoan walking at the speed you do, remember;
You are also making a film, map-reading and navigating, viewing the horizon and fighting off herds of marauding cattle. So 2.2MPH is not so bad after all. Most folk perambulate between 2.5 & 3 MPH. To go faster might mean missing something interesting and would require you to have a much faster piece of music as your mind-worm.
I love your vids, keep it up. If there was an option to PayPal I would join the prestigious Cool Dudes' Walking Club but I hate digital transfers with a passion. Give me an option and I will be there.
As for cool; me? I'm as smooth as a sack of bricks!!
Stay cool.
How in the hell can people walk 3mph. What are they carrying?
666ft the devil’s hill. Radio voice was ace 😎😆👍
Wonder how many miles you’ve covered all your walks together? I’m too lazy to do the math.
All of the walks is 8 million miles.
@@cdwc that’s a lot of shoe leather. 😳
First day back from a holiday and I got this wonderfully informative exercise video to break up the day. But now I can't unhear Ocean Drive, what kind of hell have you unleashed by climbing a 666m hill? CD#123
I feel bad I have unleashed Ocean Drive on more people. Hope the post holiday blues don't kick in.
I hope they were laughing because they recognised your comic genius. Otherwise they’ll have me to answer to.
NOW I'VE GOT "OCEAN DRIVE "IN MY HEAD!! Bah.
Could be worse, you could (be) LIFTED
@@jefyhunt6219 AAARGH! You fiend!!
You are right this is worse.
I walked 20 miles once and it felt like my knees were going to fall off.
My hips and lower back get me.
The downs of the Downs are a total downer.
Exactly cool dude.
I would have petted the hell out of those cows.
I am terrified of cows since they chased me in a field once.
@@cdwc Aw, my dad is terrified of swans for a similar reason.
I am also terrified of swans after I got chased by one for about 200m when I was about 10.
@@cdwc I can't judge. My boyfriend and I ran away from a wild turkey a couple of months ago. (Turns out it's a very friendly turkey and she was just hoping we'd give her seeds...)
I am really enjoying this walk but it looks like you aren't. You can give yourself a pat on the back but not if it adds to the 18kg weight you are already shouldering.
It was the very limits of my endurance this day. I think 23 miles would be hard, but much harder after four days of consecutive walking.
