    Love watching your films they are very informative. My 18 yr son is now watching them to help with woodland walks his place of work has asked him to run.
    If ever up in Scotland drop us a msg for a camp spot

    I solo backpacked and camped from milford haven to Fishguard, that part is stunning. Nipped over to Ireland for the day from Fishguard while I was there. Its amazing how much longer it takes to walk the distances from what I thought it would take, all of those ups and downs on the coast path really seem to eat into your time. I hope you have a great time, I loved it, it was fantastic once you get a short distance away from a carpark you don't see anyone.

    Hi Lewis, great video mate,I live at Barry ,so the coast and countryside of Glamorgan are well known to myself. And I do consider myself very fortunate to have such an abundance and variety of areas to explore and forage. Thanks for all the effort you make and the interesting content you put out. Keep up the good work sir 💪

    That was so lovely seeing where you camped as I have spent so much time along the Vale coastline. Where you camped at Ogmore, a couple of years ago there were about 800 geese on that stretch of the river, it was absolutely incredible watching them all take off at dusk. Thank you for sharing your adventure

    Just found your channel last week and I’m devouring your videos (when I can!). There’s many reasons I’m drawn to foraging, but only just realized (as you said) how useful this knowledge would be for supplementing one’s diet when long distance walking. It’s so overwhelming getting started with foraging, and your videos are really helping. Since you also seem knowledgeable (or at more than me) about long distance walking, I wonder if you could do any videos advising on gear (such as cooking equipment and sleeping gear)? Thanks so much, Hannah

    • @UKWILDCRAFTS
      @UKWILDCRAFTS  Рік тому

      Thanks 😊. Yes it does seem overwhelming at first. I recommend just learning 2 or 3 plants at a time and keeping adding more when comfortable with them. Actually yes I’m going to do a video on the gear I took with me, I’ve had a few people ask :)

    With your foraging skills any trip about the countryside would be an experience especially in the warmer weather, this is a very interesting channel I've been watching, make your trips even more interesting Paul Cook on UA-cam is finding a lot of great stuff, thanks again.

    I've thought of doing this too! How many miles a day did you average? And what season did you go?
