      Thank you. Yes we were both struggling quite a bit on this day.
      Warren had some problems with his feet, and had to nurse himself along. We went pretty slow, but mile after mile we got closer.
      one more day to go.. get you're wine ready!

    I didn’t . do Seven Sitters because I was on my bike, think I may have to go back so I can walk them. Great walking

    Seriously fair play to you both for pushing on all the way to the start of the Seven Sisters cliffs - and with an injury. I remember that lovely view of the Cuckmere river after those long stairs and getting over that wall. Lovely. Both doing so well. Can't wait for the final episode. 👍

      Thank you. That was one of the hardest days, we were both struggling quite a bit.

      We both struggled on this day.. after the day before distance both of us were really struggling. close to the end now though, no stopping me by this point.

    No pain no gain .. obviously you both gained a lot these past couple of days. Scenic countryside typical farmers working long hours while ever there's daylight. Great milestone reached shorter day coming that's the good news. Well done guys. Bushyboy Oz.

    Fantastic day we had before and, today in this video, we pushed on to a lovely camping spot. We did well mate, and yes, we did, just get on with it! :)

    God those stairs at seven sisters. Did those about 7 years ago with my wife and our dearly departed faithful dog Yorkie, who died far too young. He was always such a great hiking companion and i miss him loads every day still. I remember those steps so well as i was poorly for months at the time and iagnosed the following week with double pneumonia! Never been able to face those steps again!!! Really loved this series. Just 6 years from retirement and the south downs is a target in my first year of freedom 😂 thank you for allowing us to accompany you on your journey!

      I didn't know your furry friend but I know the emotional attachment you enjoyed and the loss you felt. One of the greatest joys known to man and pain suffered. The good always outweighs the bad on reflection. Peace my friend.

      I knew they were coming, having walked down them the previous year.. but they were still extremely unpleasant!
      I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I had a similar experience with my very first Boxer. it takes a long time to get over.
      Thank you for watching, I'm glad you have been enjoying this series.. one more part to go!
      I hope you get to walk this downs once you have the time. I truly loved being out walking like this. it has been my first long distance trail and I have already started thinking about another one.

    Watched them all. Thank you. I cycled down there from Liverpool with my brother in 1980 aged 15 and stayed in YHA all the way. Double Denim and Embassy Regal. Kids today aren't allowed to live.

    It was agonizing watching you push through the pain and carry on Dan, been there, done that! You're a beast to keep going but with the finish in sight I know you'll make it and will have achieved another bucket list adventure. It looked at times that Warren might have been struggling a tad bit, maybe just the camera angle but hope no issues for him. See you for the final push and celebration.

    Darn that sucks about your ankle. Too bad there wasn't any Epsom salts. That would help bring the swelling down. You might want to keep things like the elastic sport bandage. Maybe soak your ankle in a creek along the way. Take care man 😮

    Firle becon is a bitch of a hill even worse if u have an ankle injury ok when at the top
    Iv done the 7 sisters a few times awesome walk but constantly going up and down all the way to Eastbourne
    Doing the sdw is on my bucket list hopefully do it in the next few years

    • @CampLifeBushcraft
      @CampLifeBushcraft  2 місяці тому

      it had been on my list for a year or two. I've walked little bits of it. nothing compares to doing it in one go though.
      Get planning Kev.

    I'd hate to be your doctor 😂 Mavis: "Mr CLB is on the phone again Dr Proctor"
    Dr Proctor: "Covid? Some sort of cough? A germ? Hangover?" Mavis: "No Doctor he's got a hurty ankle ... and get this doc, he's put a see through bandage on it" "Dr Proctor 😂😂😂 Tell him to man up and get on with it"

    Brave soldiers both of you. Thoroughly enjoying ❤
