Feeling the Pain: The Dales Way tries to break us on Day 3
Вставка

- The Dales Way - 81 Miles from Ilkley to Bowness-on-windermere.
On Day 3 of our Dales Way hiking challenge, we covered 30km from Cowgill to Lambrigg, with plenty of interesting sights and experiences along the way. We may have left our campsite without paying (don't worry, we settled up later!), but we were soon on our way, walking through the fields and enjoying the sound of lambs playing in the spring sunshine.
Our first stop of the day was in Dent, where we found a welcoming café to recharge our batteries with bacon and sausage baps. After that, we continued on, crossing bridges and taking in some stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Did you know that Dent is the highest village in England, and is famous for its cobbled streets and whitewashed houses?
In Sedburgh, we stopped for a pint and some food before setting off again and finding a place to dry out our tents and have some lunch. We then followed the river to the M6, where we finally entered the Lake District. Sedburgh is known for its bookshops and is home to one of the UK's largest second-hand bookstores and is a good little place to come back and visit another day.
As we pitched our tents for the night next to a train line and a small stream, we reflected on the amazing scenery we had encountered so far on the Dales Way. Join us on our journey and watch for yourself to see some of the cool places we visited!
Hope you enjoy the video.

busting the miles guys a little bit of karma with the breakfast price i think maybe she was gonna give it to the campsite owner 😂😂 another great day kris atb daz
Haha aww I know. To be fair we pitched really late and left early and only used the grass which was literally on the trail anyway and nobody was there at night or morning to pay if we wanted to
Love that cafe in Dent. I was in Dent 4 weeks ago as part of the Dales Highway. There's a great bakery in Sedbergh that does a millionaires shortbread that must be 2 inch thick - scrumptious. You don't cross the M6 into Cumbria (or Westmorland and Furness as that county is now called as Cumbria is no more) - you were in W&F and not Yorkshire all day.
How did you find the Dales Highway, did you walk the full route or just a section? I enjoyed the Dales Way a few months ago, although we didn’t take the high route for that one.
Haha I think I need to get to that bakery, that sounds awesome 😂
@@krisgleave I trail walk with HF Holidays mostly (let someone else sort out the logistics). They have hotels near Malham and in Sedbergh so these were the bases for our stay, getting bused to start/finish points. Did the full route June 23.
You should have left the broccoli and bought some mint sauce for them lambs
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
Nice video. Makes me want to add this one to my ever growing list of multi days.
Probably should have paid for that campsite though 😂
It’s a great hike. The week after I did the Cumbria Way too but solo, that’s another cracker and will share that this week. Yeah we were there late and left early 😋
@@krisgleave how much training do you do for this hikes? Certainly before the first one you tried
@@robmorpeth I didn’t train. I was made redundant all of a sudden 2 days before and decided I didn’t want to sit at home festering so contacted Iain and asked if he fancied it. So basically just booked a train and went.
@@krisgleave impressive 👏
Is it safe to drink stream water?
I take a water filter with me to purify the water so always good. Although in fast flowing clear water it’s probably okay. I’d always use a filter though
Mint pal. Really love your little speech about how life should be and I totally agree. Saying that Im very lucky to have a job I I love that let’s me travel the country and the world.
I’m up in Shap at the moment and was quite surprised to pop in a pub to see a sign saying ‘Camping available’ ‘Filling water bottles and charging equipment will be charged’ 🙄
Aah thanks for that. Just speaking from the heart and definitely how it should be. Sounds like a great job if you have travel I’d love that. Ooh they charge? That’s bad isn’t it. Which pub is it? I’ve been through there before on the C2C
@@krisgleave the Crown Inn just down the road from the Greyhound. Very disappointing considering they make a mint from food and accommodation.
I can’t believe they charge for that. Food is ace in there though and they’re really hospitable too I found. I stayed in the Greyhound on the coast to coast but ate in there
Congratulations on getting this boxed off! Next on my list having just completed the WHW.
Hope things improve on the back of the redundancy :)
Adge.
Thanks so much. I fancy the WHW when the weather is right for it, how was it? I did the Cumbria Way the week after the Dales Way, that’s another cracker. That’ll be out a week on Wednesday. Thanks for that
Work online mate and you become your own master - i have been working online for 4-5 years now and if i want to take one week off its fine :)
I’d love to get in that position at some stage that would be ideal. What is it you do online?
@@krisgleave I teach English online for non-native ESL learners and IELTS exam prep work - i can work 3-4000 usd from the comfort of home and not have to deal with silly bosses and jobs that i dont really like. I can manage my own time and if i dont feel like teaching, take a few days off :)
Not sure how you have less than 1000 subscribers? No
Really good videos, initially found you looking for coast to coast vids.
Love your content mate.
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks for that, that’s a really nice comment I appreciate it 🫶🏼. I guess it’s hard to get your videos out there and if you’re not doing all the gear reviews and things and click bait titles and other things you don’t really get recommended by UA-cam but just trying to stick filming what I love and that’s out hiking. I think I’ve literally watched all the Coast to Coast videos on UA-cam I love following peoples hikes for all sorts of trails as gets you excited about doing them yourself. Thank you
❤ great video..
Them ducks 😂😂
😂😂😂
Quack quack 😂
@@blackmountainadventures 🤣
@@yorkshiretrailblazer just jumped on your UA-cam channel dude 👍 Great work and excellent hiking entertainment from you both 🙌
@@blackmountainadventures 😂😂
One of the best vids I've seen for a while. Keep up the monologues and life philosophy. Who knows, UA-cam could be your future employer? Really enjoyed it and have subscribed.
Thank you so much I really do appreciate that feedback it means a lot. I know I’m definitely a talker as just feels natural to me to talk more through my hikes and know that might not be for everyone so it’s nice to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks so much. A week on Wednesday I’ve got another good adventure coming out where a week after the Dales Way I did the Cumbria away solo over 3 days. That was a tough walk 🫠. Thank you 🫶🏼
@@krisgleave doing my first ever wild camp tomorrow and will be filming that. Scared!
@@CampingSecretsUK Aah brilliant, I’m sure you’ll be fine. What area are you going for your wild camp? Just make sure you take the right gear and are warm enough and you’ll be fine. Don’t worry about over packing slightly for your first one. As long as you have a good sleep mat, sleeping bag, pillow and tent and pegs that’s the minimum you need and will be fine
Another brilliant episode Kris the duomid looks ace hope you enjoyed that cow piss !!
It’s a Durston XMid 1P this tent, not the duomid. It’s a great tent. Haha cow piss went down a treat and drank it again the next morning 😂
@@krisgleave always get them mixed up it's the D's !! No energy drink like it 🤪
great vid mate - keep banging em out as you have been doing - keep up the positive attitude !
Thank you and will do. Just editing my Cumbria way too which should be out a week on Wednesday. Delaying it a week as but too much doing 2 weeks worth of daily vids back to back on the channel but really enjoyed that hike solo it was ace
@@krisgleave ok mate no probs - waiting for your next vid - i liked the idea of group hikes - i would pay you to go on a group hike of the pennine way or other such long distance walks but give me until next week year when im coming back to the uk with my family.
@@bilbobaggins7340 Aah yes thanks for that. Yeah the Pennine Way is certainly a tough one and a slog. Haven’t done that yet. Not sure I’d do such a long was a guided hike as I’d find that one tough myself although who knows next year.
