      Thank you Jen. Glad you enjoyed it. Tom was a star and it was a pleasure to hike with him today. I really appreciate him joining me in a video. He’s a natural and very inspiring to others to get out and enjoy the beautiful countryside. I look forward to seeing the photos of your big day.

    A very, very good video, Paul. As you say, 'You don't need to be a fitness instructor or a skinny minnie, take your time and one foot after another, and you have got this'. Fantastic encouragement to your viewers to get out, and enjoy the countryside,

    Derwent Edge was one of my go-to hikes in the Peaks. Been a while since I've been though. My usual route starts at Cutthroat bridge, up to Back Tor then down to Howden Dam and then one of the various routes back alongside the reservoir back to the car at Cutthroat. Between 10 and 12 miles if memory serves 😁.

    I'm a Peak District virgin, although I was born in the Midlands and was an avid walker and wild camper for the first half of my life. Work and family then took over so the opportunity for such escapades decreased in ratio with the increase in my waistline. Luckily I live on the edge of a National Park so I can be out for a walk and back in time for the cat's teatime now.

    lovely Paul. I am setting off from home in Jersey by ferry to St Malo, then on my electric velo to Redon in Brittany. Here I join the Veodysee which I hope to follow all the way down the Atlantic coast of France to Hendaye on the Spanish border. I will be bike packing most of the way and must say have taken a lot of inspiration and knowledge by watching you on your UA-cam adventures, Regards JM

    Here’s one for you: Do a collab with Kent Survival! He can’t hike as far as you, and he’s your opposite in many ways, but I’d love to see how he does on one of your trips. Don’t know if the other way around would work as well, but maybe! Cheers!

    It's a cracking walk up there. I did it a few months ago and an RAF Airbus A400M did a flypast as I was near that place where you said you getting view by deviating of the path a few metres. Good to show that you don't have to be built like an athlete to get to some amazing views. Needs a follow-up video when Tom does his first wildcamp I reckon!

    Good to see a plus sized lad getting out. Sadly they don't make gear for us fatties as much as for thinner people and probably that makes good economic sense. I like having the kit, all part of the fun of our hobby but hard to find 5XL clothing made for purpose. Do a few more of these accompanied hikes and camps, Paul. Reward your patreons.

  • @LatexMallard
    @LatexMallard 18 днів тому

    Have you ever considered taking a ‘newbie’ out wild-camping for a night Paul? Obviously they would have to ensure they have adequate kit for the night. I think it would give people confidence and it might be another income stream for you Paul!

  • @nevetsre7001
    @nevetsre7001 21 день тому

    It's a good walk up onto Derwent Edge; fairly easy from the cutthroat bridge lay-by. The edge itself is paved and generally not too tough. I must do it again earlier in the day. It was 8:20 when I got back to the car last time. Injuried again at the moment, but will be doing the prescribed physio and be up and about again late July.

    I understood him completely, clamouring over those rocks to touch the Trig point whilst so out of breath.
    Those views over the rock edge would have my vertigo kicking in.
    Good video, I enjoyed it. Best wishes to both of you.
