Yayyyy!! My husband and I just hiked the SNT as well from April 19 - May 30. Ben just retired 2 weeks before we left so we didn't have time limitations. We are lazy hikers getting up late, taking as many zeros as we want and did a lot of touristy stuff. Hehe. I enjoy hiking in the UK so much more than in the US honestly. Great videos! Thank you for sharing
Amazing! Actually we watched many of your videos since you were posting your journey as we were preparing to leave for ours! How fun to have you then watch ours! 😀
@@geekbaggers hah...really? Thats soo cool!! I searched for SNT and your videos came up. :) What was your start date? You must have had more midgies than we did.
@hikersheep we started on the Pennine Way actually for about 60 miles first on June 26. The midges were actually really mild because of the breeze. We only got annoyed like twice...they aren't pleasant but we find mosquitos to be worse. The horseflies on the other hand...they were annoying! We were 28 days and 590 miles total. We had a short time though - just off for the summer (teachers).
@@geekbaggersyes i know you guys started down south. Easier logistically. Getting to Kirk Yetholm was complicated. Thats such a late start! Im usually home already around mid June cause I miss Bobo. Hehe! I couldnt figure out what month you started. Im gonna do the Pennine Way by myself next year. Ben doesnt like hiking as much as I di but he will come later to hike some easy trail like The Cotswold Way or something then we go to Wimbledon Tennis in July. Hiking CDT in Montana would be soo nice!! I've never been
@hikersheep the Pennine should be nice! And yes easier logistics for sure. We really loved getting to see your videos before we left. School doesn't let out in Washington State until Mid June so we have to leave later. I'm super stoked about Montana. I've been trying to finish up my triple crown by section hiking the CDT and it feels like it'll take forever :). We want to alternate domestic and foreign though... so the following summer we're thinking about Japan or Bhutan for a summer hike. Ben seemed to hang in there, but too bad he's not as excited about hiking. Glad he'll get to join you for part! It could be cool to have an off trail support system too!
How cool, another brilliant video. So glad you finished intact, enjoyed it and glad to have met you along the way ❤
