43:29 Absolutely loved Alicja's commentary there, "Walking ten meters apart in silence." Steve turns around, "What?" Alicja: "Nothing." Steve later edits the video and includes that part. Genius!
That was me with the dog just outside Pittenweem, I thought you were still looking pretty fresh when I saw you at that point, you obviously hid the pain well! Congrats on completing the trail, it's given lots of inspiration for some more days out on the coast. Having only recently moved to Scotland, your videos have given us loads of ideas for trips out & things to see.
Ha, he's called Billy! I'm impressed, usually people remember the dog far more than me. I might have looked ok at the time but there's no way I'd have hacked walking the whole coastal path in under a week, well done guys.
Hey Steve when you and your wife passed through Lower Largo. There lived the real Robinson Crusoe his real name is Alexander Selkirk. He was thrown off his naval ship to maroon on island about 400 miles west of Chile called San Juan Fernandez. There’s a a little museum and a statue of Selkirk in the village.
I was once a hiker...not now at 80 years old. Never the less I do remember how not to get blisters. waring two pairs of socks, wool of course. The pair that's next to the skin should be thin and a snug fit. The second a little more chunky. The idea of the two pair is that when the sock chafes it's going to chafe the first pair instead of you feet. Believe me it works.
I'm so impressed with the two of you. I'm exhausted and I'm sitting here on my tuchus with my feet up. Thank goodness you're Weis enough to take good care of your blisters. those things can turn nasty fast. Way to gut it out Alicja! Can't wait for the rest. Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.
Steve - a few tips for these long-distance walks. Stop often, dry the feet, use foot powder on them, change to dry socks [Carry extras] and for inclement weather possibilities, carry at least two plastic grocery-type shopping bags per person. You wear the bags over your socks but inside the shoes to keep out rain and puddles. They are especially handy when restarting after soaking your footgear and it hasn't dried out thoroughly. Use them as a poor man's Wellington like @ 17:06, if you will. For the blisters, there are blister adhesive tape packs available [Moleskin], to shield and cushion a forming hot spot but there are differing schools of thought on opening them yourself. Let the body reabsorb the liquid or lance them carefully and blot up the fluid should they tear or burst. It's the body's way of making a temporary cushion but they certainly can be painful. I would have colored the air around me with salty language personally. Great effort you two! Here are some more great tips - www.cleverhiker.com/blog/how-to-prevent-and-treat-blisters-while-hiking www.elastoplast.co.uk/did-you-know/relief-and-care/hiking-without-blisters
Blister prevention: 1) Avoid cotton socks, or indeed socks with any % of cotton. 2) Wearing two thin pairs of socks is better than wearing one thicker pair. This allows the socks to move against each other rather than moving your flesh over your bones, which causes heat and causes blisters. 3) Pure Merino wool is the best (check they dont have a % of cotton), Failing that, get 100% synthetic. I wear polyester/nylon blend. 4) As your inner pair of socks you can buy anti blister nylon liners, or women's no show (nylon tights material) work well. 5) Carry some moleskin with you to put on any hotspots. As soon as you feel the hotspot apply the moleskin, don't wait or now its a blister.
@MGE9436 Thanks, please send all your sock centered questions to me. (Just a guy that gets blisters and has google looking for solutions. The two layers of thin socks works for me)
Its a bit OTT lol. Just tread on . Worry later were a long time dead to be thinking how much cottons in my sock 😂🦧. Feet are feet they bilster they heal but the memories last forever ⛰️⛰️🌏
@phillylarkin.s1930 It is not too hard, buy some nice socks without cotton, the info is on the label, put them on. Left foot, right foot repeat. Spend time enjoying the walk. Happy Socksgiving to you.
My god guys....what an absolutely amazing video! I'm now convinced that you are both crazy....walked 28 miles first day!!!!! Poor Alicja....that girl must really love you, anyone else would have have said "on your bike, I'm getting the bus" but despite the blisters and pain she kept going on! What a girl, and well done to you for doing it all on foot! Only thing that worried me on this epic journey is that you didn't treat Alicja to a fish supper in Anstruther which is world famous for it's "best fish and chips in the world"....maybe next time eh! You guys are epic....I take my hat off to you both....the mileage you've covered on foot is just amazing. What an incredible video.....amazeballs! 😎😎😎👍
Thanks so much mate! haha I must admit it felt surreal in Anstruther to see people going about their normal lives, eating ice cream, fish and chips, as we stumbled through in another dimension :D Must set the record straight though - Alicja has been treated to that very meal a while back, and even a wee poke of sweeties after :)
Thank you for the memories, particularly Culross and St Monans. My mum and sister and I spent week in fife many years ago…wearther was like you experienced…so cold, we had ice creams at Kirkcaldy and Anstruther.. wonderful memories. Thanks…🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hi Steve, that was an incredible watch. No mere trip report but another adventure with you both. You really like to suffer but poor Alicja really felt it. Can't wait for part 2 to see if you can make it. Great to see all the little villages along the coast, which are so lovely. Keep on walking! Allan.
We been taught that the Locals prononce Anstruther as ‘Enster’! MOD base and the Dockyard does get right in the way in West Fife. Preston Island lagoons caused by residue from now demolished Longannet Power Station being currently capped from local decommissioned opencast mine. Preston Island will hopefully as planned be converted back fully to the wild. Good few deer to be found as it is. Loving your videos as usual.
When I was a kid, I read "Kidnapped" four or five times - it's one of the books that kindled my interest in my ancestors' native land. So I kept getting little thrills watching this video: "North Queensferry - that's where David Balfour went looking for Mr. Rankellior the lawyer! Dysart - that was the Covenant's home port, where Captain Hoseason's mother lived!" Also, never forget the most important skill in long-distance walking - knowing when to say "Sod it" and jump on the bus.
Thanks for the memories, As a wee lad my parents holidayed in Crail and Anster. Knocked about the area by car (a TR3 open top) 50 years ago. Your walk gives me a brand new perspective. Have an Aunt, cousin, and my sister settle in Anster. Another cousin in Crail, indeed I bought a fisherman's row house in Anster as a future retirement home. Ended up on Phuket Island Thailand and never came back. Sold that house for a very big profit 30 years later.
Thanks for suffering to bring us the pleasure of this walk! My favourite scenes - 10.08, north Queensferry; 34.12, Robinson Crusoe’s statue - saw this when we went to Elie in 1950’s; and 36.40, Elie, where my father owned the bakery in late 1940’s - early 1950’s. Cheers from Australia.
That was awesome. Poor Alicja's feet 😕 That was a trip down memory lane for me, back in the 80's I did the awful long haul Stagecoach from London, to stay at a friends house in Largo, I remember Robinson Crusoe! Pretty sure her house was right on the seafront, sadly she sold it. Gonna send her a link to this video! Lovely one again guys x
Great video Steve, with my wife’s mother coming from Fife we have visited the East Neuk from Lincolnshire for over 50 years and always enjoy your experiences. Great quality, informative and fun.
Absolutely brilliant vlog. Fife really has lots of beautiful quaint little towns and villages. I did feel for Alicja though 🤗. Nothing worse than trying to walk with blisters 😩. Really looking forward to part 2. We thoroughly enjoy all your videos which inspire us to get out more. Thank so much for sharing them all with us. 👍
Great to see this. Childhood memories of holidays in Fife in the 1960s. The ferry journey across the Forth , the smell of linoleum manufacturing in Kirkcaldy and the rush of excitement in Lundin Links as we saw the sea after being inland for a portion. Then at long last arriving in Elie with its wonderful long golden beach. Happy days indeed.
We have been enjoying your videos and the travels you share ,You are a cute couple too ..God bless you both * We are fom up North Michigan .when we were younger we hiked alot too .42 years here together we still get out n about ....
Wow, you guys are awesome. Thank you for bringing us on your journey. I can relate to the pain and blisters. Last October me and my ex-husband did a 90 mile walk on our own just with white sticks to raise money for 90 years of Guide Dogs. We did about 30 miles each day give or take, some longer than others. We raised almost £6000 and named a puppy, so it was definitely worth every blister and ache. This is a must on my bucket list. Keep up the great videos guys. X.
In June this year we stayed at a caravan site at Upper Largo. This was our first visit to Scotland as our son lives near St Andrews. We had a fabulous time exploring the area - it really is beautiful. From our caravan window we had views over the Firth of Fourth and your video brought back happy memories of our holiday. Can't wait to go back next year.
As I watch all the towns you go through all the houses and locations - your helping me to work out where I want to live when I move back to Scotland. Too many choices just in this one video today.
Poor Alicja but bravely battling on thanks so much to both of you what a beautiful place Scotland is you both having a strong love for the country and we're so happy to be travelling with you both, I'm a bit behind due to our travel to our family in Thailand for the first time in three years but happy to see some cool down conditions of Scotland 😀 travel safely and hope you're not have to much trouble with blisters thanks again love your presentation
Nice walk m8s, loved all of this wall particularly the beach bits. Don't stop now! Keep up the good walk, stay vertical, except when ya layin down sleepin! 😉😉 Doin well!
I’ve been waiting a long time for this video team, knew it would happen one day. (Koorus). I did it years ago inc South Queens to Largo in 1 day and loved it. Wish I’d known I could have provided support at Buckhaven. 10/10 and well done. Can’t wait for part 2. ps mum grew up in Lower Largo. Spent my first summers on that beach.
Thanks for painting the Dinosaurs for us at Buckhaven John! But less of the rain please. What a beautiful coastline you have there, working on part 2 now :)
Hello Steve Marsh, Im Early👋 I hope you keep posting this amazing content, my Day Couldn't be any better and your videos Lift me up and i have to say your my favourite youtuber :D 🙌
Oh fantastic video you walked past my house just past the dinosaur painting at Buckhaven wish I had seen you both enjoy your videos keep up the good work 👍
My family and I have lived in Dalgety Bay for 20 years and have unbelievably never visited Dysart ! After watching your video we finally made it there on a rare sunny day today. We parked the car in Kirkcaldy and walked along the beautiful coastal path, it was wonderful. Far too old to hike like you two, but thoroughly enjoy an easy stroll by the sea. We love seeing all the places you visit, your videos are always so varied and interesting and you are both a pleasure to watch 😌Well done on this long trek, I was wincing at very painful step.
Hi Steve and Alijca, what can be said about your fantastic journey and the pain physically and mentally on such a long path. You certainly go above and beyond for your followers. You never ever disappoint with the content, the beauty of all Scotland has to offer well done the two of you. Looking forward to seeing part 2. Safe travels
Love your walks. Great to see you visit Lower Largo and hear your nice comments. My Grandfather left their in 1913 with his wife and four daughters to settle in Australia. I remember him telling us often about Alexander Selkirk.Cheers from Sydney.
I'm only 11 minutes in and I'm loving it. So much to see. Bravo to you both for taking this adventure on. Can't wait to continue watching. Oh and Limekilns Primary School...my first ever school - I was 5 and lived just outside of Dumfirmline at a farm called Gallowridge Hill Farm....purportedly the location of...hmm gallows for hanging the crims!
Absolutely brilliant Steve. I have walked the Fife Coastal Path on numerous occasions, but only in stages and not day after day!!! My favourite part is St Monans to Crail. Was great seeing all the places I know so well. Excellent content. Iain P
Cheers Iain! Spectacular coastline eh, and couldn't agree more re the St Monans - Crail section (although I was struggling towards the end on that one!) :)
Very brave taking on this length of walk with feet that will blister. I live in Fife and prefer driving through these villages with the open top down. That Burntisland high tide route is most definitely not flat!
This one is amazing? I couldn't walk that much in a day.. what a pace! I love this channel since I found it a few weeks ago. I like doing wee adventures on Scotland and you're very inspiring. I'm definitely going to Lower Largo I tell you that. Good luck!
Great vlog. I walked the FCP last year. I agree with you some of the urban bits are dull but the rest makes up for it in spades. The villages are brilliant, my favourite, but only just, being Lower Largo.
Steve, you walked right by our old house in Culross (COO-russ), when you said the last time you'd been there you were a kid. I'm glad to see you two doing this route! ☺️
Been to all these places, but never walked them all in one go. Nice to see the bits inbetween. Looking forward to pt2, which should take you past my house.
A few years ago I cycled from Cramond over the Forth Road Bridge and along the Fife Trail as far as St Monans and back. The East Neuk with its wonderful villages is spectacular and so picturesque. I'm coming back to Scotland ( my daughters graduation) in a weeks time, can't wait to see the Auld Country ! Well done guys and thank goodness for Compeed !! 👍
Great hike Steve and , feel your pain. When in Scotland, we are going to similar route from east to west. Here in Australia, we do what you do and, guess what? Our feet and bodies feel like yours on this trip. Keep it up you two, it keeps us inspired. 🇦🇺
Well, apart from a night in a Glenrothes hotel that my wife was convinced was haunted, I've only ever passed through Fife going north or south. After watching this, I'm going to have to right that wrong: it's beautiful!
Catching up on your older vids. Was very suprised you stayed at the bank house in burntisland rather than the sands. Its used by travelling workers these days. Its a shame cause back in the day it was an amazing pub, great food and a secure beer garden. Sad what it is now
Well done you guys. Alicya hope you recover totally, I appreciate your dedication. This is what watching this so worth while , you guys have all the stamina and dedication to encourage us to watch more of your channel 👍😇
I don't know how old you are but we moved to Dalgety Bay in 1966 (one of the first residents). I went to the old school in Aberdour. The airfield was still there Donibristle House was there.
Wow! Well done to both of you for walking all those miles. I`m exhausted just watching you. No one can say you don`t do your bit for your subscribers. Looking forward to part 2 - hope the feet have healed.
I'm over kincardine quite a lot, Culross is an absolutely lovely place especially in the summer when the flowers 💐 are all blooming in the village it also has a nice pub/restaurant, Limekilns has fantastic views over the Water to blackness/Bo'ness on a sunny 🌞 day it also has a nice pub to sit outside, if you can get a seat, Inverkeithing is lovely but does not have a great deal of amenities, Aberdour is a lovely wee village and the extra sensory garden is always worth a visit, Aberdour silver sands is lovely on a nice day and can get really busy, Burntisland is always popular with memories in our youth.
I would love a challenge like this, walking 116 miles. Good choice to stay in hotels. The views so far of the ocean are lovely. Good luck on your challenge from South Carolina, USA and safe teavels.
43:29 Absolutely loved Alicja's commentary there, "Walking ten meters apart in silence." Steve turns around, "What?" Alicja: "Nothing." Steve later edits the video and includes that part. Genius!
Having lived in Fife all my life, I had no idea about the cool things you'd see walking from one end to the other. Cheers Steve!
Epic!! Loved every step of that, total respect to Alicja, that girl has grit. You too Steve.
Fife is full of little gems. Well worh exploring.
That was me with the dog just outside Pittenweem, I thought you were still looking pretty fresh when I saw you at that point, you obviously hid the pain well!

BUT WHAT'S YOUR DOG'S NAME??? :D Cheers George, was great to meet you! Keep up the awesome running, you looked a bit fitter than us :D
Ha, he's called Billy! I'm impressed, usually people remember the dog far more than me.
I might have looked ok at the time but there's no way I'd have hacked walking the whole coastal path in under a week, well done guys.

I think you must have a uni degree in socks. This is amazing information. 😂

Thanks so much Brian! It's you guys who keep us going, the best motivation out there!
As someone that lives in Pittenweem i can say the coastal path is hard going so well done!!
I'm so jealous!!! Cheers
Hi guys, loving your content, I live in Lower largo and gutted I missed you folks in the village.
Great video guys!! Walking alone is tough but holding the camera makes it even more exhausting. Poor Alicja!!
Love your walks. Great to see you visit Lower Largo and hear your nice comments. My Grandfather left their in 1913 with his wife and four daughters to settle in Australia. I remember him telling us often about Alexander Selkirk.Cheers from Sydney.
I love walking - my exercise of choice - so watching you two walking is so enjoyable.
I'm only 11 minutes in and I'm loving it. So much to see. Bravo to you both for taking this adventure on. Can't wait to continue watching. Oh and Limekilns Primary School...my first ever school - I was 5 and lived just outside of Dumfirmline at a farm called Gallowridge Hill Farm....purportedly the location of...hmm gallows for hanging the crims!
Haha thanks Tudor! Glad to bring you some very familiar places! :)
Absolutely brilliant Steve. I have walked the Fife Coastal Path on numerous occasions, but only in stages and not day after day!!! My favourite part is St Monans to Crail. Was great seeing all the places I know so well. Excellent content. Iain P
Cheers Iain! Spectacular coastline eh, and couldn't agree more re the St Monans - Crail section (although I was struggling towards the end on that one!) :)
Love the videos with your glamorous assistant the most!! Dysart is pronounced Diss art👍🏻
Very brave taking on this length of walk with feet that will blister. I live in Fife and prefer driving through these villages with the open top down. That Burntisland high tide route is most definitely not flat!
This one is amazing? I couldn't walk that much in a day.. what a pace! I love this channel since I found it a few weeks ago. I like doing wee adventures on Scotland and you're very inspiring. I'm definitely going to Lower Largo I tell you that. Good luck!
Great vlog. I walked the FCP last year. I agree with you some of the urban bits are dull but the rest makes up for it in spades. The villages are brilliant, my favourite, but only just, being Lower Largo.
Hard to disagree John, cracking wee place! And hey, well done for doing the walk too!
Great video. Excellent videography. Thanks for sharing. Stay blessed and connected.
Thanks again Steve and Alicja. What a beautiful route. But at the end of the film, I also have big blisters on my feet...... 😉
Haha nice feeling eh? :)
@@steve-marsh 😂😂😂
Steve, you walked right by our old house in Culross (COO-russ), when you said the last time you'd been there you were a kid. I'm glad to see you two doing this route! ☺️
I remember using white spirit to toughen up the feet before long hikes. Enjoyed the vlog , keep smiling.
A walk of contrasts
Been to all these places, but never walked them all in one go. Nice to see the bits inbetween. Looking forward to pt2, which should take you past my house.
What a good challenge for both of you to try this long journey. Love to see the scenery along the coast. Well done, Steve and Alicja.
Thanks so much Jacky!
really enjoyable I'm thinking of doing backpacking britan from john o groats to lands end this has gave me some extra inspiration
Nothing but respect for you!
Loving all your videos.Brings us so much joy and information
Cheers Paul from us both!
Absolutely loved that video Steve the the Fife is stunning thanks to use both cheers 🍻🍺.love the longer videos.🍻👍ps i think that walk took its toll.
Haha it sure did!
Really looking forward to watching this Steve! Thanks for your hard work as always
Cheers Craig! Hope you enjoyed it :)
A marathon walk and a marathon video. I was thinking about doing this walk during the summer. Thanks for showing the walk in all its glory!
Cheers Scott! I'm patiently waiting to see if you get back from Paris! :D
A few years ago I cycled from Cramond over the Forth Road Bridge and along the Fife Trail as far as St Monans and back.
The East Neuk with its wonderful villages is spectacular and so picturesque.
I'm coming back to Scotland ( my daughters graduation) in a weeks time, can't wait to see the Auld Country !
Well done guys and thank goodness for Compeed !! 👍
Hey Richard that's a good push, especially having to come back again! All the best for the graduation and congrats to your daughter!
Another great journey Steve and Alicja, the railway track through Culross sometimes sees the odd excursions by the Flying Scotsman.
Brilliant video love the Fife coast 👍 thanks Steve and Alicjia
Thanks Steve for doing this walk and filming it, great scenery and I hope you are both recovered now.
Thanks so much! Recovered, but more pain to come in part 2 ;)
Great hike Steve and , feel your pain. When in Scotland, we are going to similar route from east to west. Here in Australia, we do what you do and, guess what? Our feet and bodies feel like yours on this trip. Keep it up you two, it keeps us inspired. 🇦🇺
What an excellent video.
Well, apart from a night in a Glenrothes hotel that my wife was convinced was haunted, I've only ever passed through Fife going north or south. After watching this, I'm going to have to right that wrong: it's beautiful!
Catching up on your older vids. Was very suprised you stayed at the bank house in burntisland rather than the sands. Its used by travelling workers these days. Its a shame cause back in the day it was an amazing pub, great food and a secure beer garden. Sad what it is now
Well done you guys.
Alicya hope you recover totally, I appreciate your dedication.
This is what watching this so worth while , you guys have all the stamina and dedication to encourage us to watch more of your channel 👍😇
Thanks so much from us both! You guys keep us going!
Absolutely gobsmacking.Thank you so much.
I’ve been wanting to run this leg of the costal path. Doesn’t look too hilly.
Great video guys.
Cheers Steven!
Hey, my feet hurt just watching you, and I'm sitting down. Bummer nuts!
Haha thanks Merry Ann! :)
Loved the prehistoric murals, alicja saw that pun coming so decided to “leve”
Aye, imagine having to listen to me for 6 days :)
I don't know how old you are but we moved to Dalgety Bay in 1966 (one of the first residents). I went to the old school in Aberdour. The airfield was still there Donibristle House was there.
I'm knackered just watching you, lol
great watch for my chicken curry n rice dinner.
Glad we didn't show our feet then mate :)
@@steve-marsh nasty all wrinkled and blistered lol.
Wow! Well done to both of you for walking all those miles. I`m exhausted just watching you. No one can say you don`t do your bit for your subscribers. Looking forward to part 2 - hope the feet have healed.
Cheers Colin! You guys all keep us going :)
Did a little bit of the costal pathway stayed in Pittenweem and visited a few of the towns you went through.
Pittenweem is gorgeous!
Really excellent Steve. Most enjoyable. Can I mention though, 'forward planning'? My lady won't even go to the local park without a medical pack!
Oh Geoff, we have short memories - it's not like we haven't had the same problems before, but we didn't remember the pain :)
Ooft that is sum walk guys take ma hat off to yas great vid nice to see a longer video
Thanks so much! And still part 2 (and more pain) to come :)
I love the Fife coastal trail. Great to walk or to cycle.
Brilliant as ever.
Thanks so much Andrew!
Omg what a trek......you two are troopers....im hooked.....gna have to watch all of them....yeha
thank you so much for the beautiful views! you guys are awesome!
I'm over kincardine quite a lot, Culross is an absolutely lovely place especially in the summer when the flowers 💐 are all blooming in the village it also has a nice pub/restaurant, Limekilns has fantastic views over the Water to blackness/Bo'ness on a sunny 🌞 day it also has a nice pub to sit outside, if you can get a seat, Inverkeithing is lovely but does not have a great deal of amenities, Aberdour is a lovely wee village and the extra sensory garden is always worth a visit, Aberdour silver sands is lovely on a nice day and can get really busy, Burntisland is always popular with memories in our youth.
Inspiring 🙏🏽 Thank you both 🏴 ❤
Thanks so much! Our subscribers like yourself keep the motivation high!
Another great journey and there’s more to come. I’m glad you are both doing the walk so I don’t have to. Well done, I look forward to part 2.
Cheers Christopher! Haha I hope you enjoy our pain in part 2 as well :)
Wow perfect timing I had literally walked part of this a few days ago from Kinghorn to Kirkcaldy
Nice one Ryan! Glad to bring you some familiar places!
I would love a challenge like this, walking 116 miles. Good choice to stay in hotels. The views so far of the ocean are lovely. Good luck on your challenge from South Carolina, USA and safe teavels.
