    Well done on cracking on with this challenge with all those injuries. Nice planting of 25 trees to remember. Encouraging, motivational speech to finish the challenge. Great inclusion of all these memorials for your final segment. Wouldn’t be a true finish without rain. German graves, now thats an interesting inclusion from that era. Quite a lot of graves. Watch out for sled dogs knocking you off the path! Nice T Shirt to remember that achievement. 👍

    Congratulations Chris on completing this 80km hiking challenge! I hope you taking time now to recuperate and that your head feels better as do your feet. Seeing the Commonwealth War Cemetery was very nice and I loved how well taken care of it is with so many beautiful plants. Sorry I am late on watching this video. We were on vacation for a couple of weeks in Colorado. Take care. Anita 😊👍

    Hello Chris. I admire your challenges, achievement and tributes to D-Day walk. You've done well. I do hope feeling better though and can have a good rest. At least your route appeared to be fairly straight forward, although I can understand dislike of pebble paths.

    • @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling
      @chrisbentleywalkingandrambling  6 місяців тому +2

      @CountrysideWalking I hike in hiking shoes so the Pebble paths seem to dig into the soles of my feet. Plus, I fell over several times on the slopes. They just give way. It's probably really good for the mountain bikes, though. My toe nail has stayed on, and the blisters have thankfully healed, so I'm a lot better. Thank you, Shanita. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you and Michael are having a relaxing weekend.

    what a great place, the Cemetery's all look like they are well taken care of. I'm not a big fan of walking along roads, and only do it if i really have to. Some cars have come to close to me to many times.

      I'm off to wreck my feet Saturday, Owen. I have a 22-mile hike with over 4000 feet of elevation. It will be a grueller. But it has to be done. I did a 22-mile one this time last year, too. I hope I can put into place lessons learned. I will have enforced breaks and take my cooking gear out with me. It's going to be a long and hopefully rewarding day.
