Thank you, the honesty kitchen was a godsend. As well as a physical rest and a can of cold pop it’s great to get a boost from little places in the world that exist on the kindness and trust of strangers. Nice one! ATB, Graham
Epic! Well done, G. Loved the TE20 🚜 that got a wee cameo in the middle there. Learned to drive on one of those beauts. The Issac Tea Trail is a nice 3-dayer, if you go back to long walks... Alston/Allendale-way
Ah, a woman who knows her tractors! I have thought about Isaac Tea Trail, and also St Cuthberts way. As soon as the memory of the Dales Way fades, I may think about doing another LD path 😂. Cheers Kirsty 👍
Well done Graham, hats off to you and your pals. A really well-edited video, very enjoyable and showed the ups and downs nicely. Some really good people out there looking out for the hikers, bet that lasagne on night 4 tasted amazing! What a find by your pal Mark. Great stuff. TFS :)
Thank you, there were certainly up and downs and tbh the bit I liked most was the camping (i.e. the lying down at night 🤣) I told myself I'm not doing another LD footpath but now the feet are healing and quite tempted to do a local one once the nights are lighter. Cheers Donna👍👍
Graham you are a trooper, carrying the gear to film and walk 90 miles. Been an absolute pleasure to watch this film journal of the groups hike through some of Englands nice parts😁
Well done Graham , they are tough the multi day hikes, but you always cone away from them by learning stuff and huge sense of pride. Really enjoyed the video. 👍
Thanks Shaun, It's meant to be one of Britiains easier LD walks but I did find it a bit hard going, mainly due to foot injury (wrong choice of shoes I guess). I made quite a few mistakes, but as you say, it's all learning. 👍👍
@@grahamswildcamping two things can really spoil a LD walk, 1) getting wetted out- sleeping bag and tent. 2) damaged feet, blisters etc. Everything else is bearable but those two are real killers. Did you use walking poles? They help massively.
@@macinthewild8116I didn't use walking poles, all the other guys did. I thought it would be too fiddly in my hands when I'm carrying recording equipment as well but in future I'll probably use them. The poles seemed to help the other lads I was with 👍
@@grahamswildcamping Poles were an absolute godsend for me. First time I've used them, but I'd not be without now. They really do take the strain off your knees and in a way also just encourage you to keep moving in a forwards direction.
Looked a classic coupke of days Graham, well done getting out and doing classic route. That tent looks good, but id need a curtain for thr window, too scary otherwise🤣
Cheers Mark, I really enjoyed this one after it was over. Definite type 2 fun, but I learned a few things that will help if I ever do another long distance walk 👍
Well done lads👍the add lib approach just added to the adventure 👌 you'll be back for more once the feet heal?🤕cheers.good to see the laser comp out btw.
Thanks very much- mind you, I’m not sure at all I’ll do any more LD paths 😂. The old laser comp proved a good choice, lighter than the Akto and better ventilated than the Nordisk Telemark. TFW 👍
Enjoy your account brings back nice memories of my Dales Way. Never say never , it’s a learning curve like anything. I would suggest the daily mileage was a bit ambitious. I keep to 12-14 miles as the norm. Lots of great routes out there and led me to backpacking in Sweden.
Thank you. I agree I would have enjoyed it more if the daily mileage was around 15 miles. I know I said on the video that I'd never do another LD walk but I'm changing my mind already- Hadrians Wall looks quite tempting! ATB, Graham
I've never owned an Osprey rucksack but their reputation speaks for itself. I live too close to the Montane factory shop and I bought another Montane rucksack last month- the Naukan. Time will tell! Maybe an Osprey next. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching 👍ATB, Graham
Just wow Dude. Good on you! Your fitness level is quite obviously higher than you give yourself credit for. It’s so great to find decent and caring humanity in this world of ours. Unrelated question but you’ve mentioned in the past that you work at a hospital and sometimes pull a night shift. Are you an RN? Asking because I’ve worked at the hospital for 31 yrs. I’m was not an RN though, I was a unit coordinator. Now retired!!!!
Thank you very much for your comments. It was great to find a bit of kindness and hospitality on the way. As regarding my job, I will say that’s a pretty darn good guess! 😉 congratulations on your retirement, hope you’re enjoying it 👍
Your doo-rag/skull cap that you sometimes wear gave you away. We wore them for extra protection during Covid. Here in America, masks are still required in patient rooms but it’s by choice now if you want to wear them at the nurses station. Is that how it is on your side of the pond? As for retirement, big fat YES I’m enjoying it! I just bought an SUV tent for camping. Great days ahead! I love your dead pan humor and your dad jokes. You’re one of my favorite content makers on UA-cam!
Yes, covid was a rough time for a few years. Our hospital was one of the last in the region to drop mandatory masks for staff but it’s all personal choice now. Many thanks for your kind words, it’s great to think you’re enjoying these little videos from all the way over the Atlantic!
All this expensive gear. ! Yet. You rucksack. Is probably you have jumped around water. Hear tip go buy a cheap army gear and boot s the rucksack be water proof and the best frame unlike hobby civilian gear and the boots be so waterproof you just walk through rivers trying them I’ve walk the link to holy island. Still in sea up to car rims not got wet on my foot in Austria Alpen boots ex arm of 50 pounds. You find the gear cheap basically far better than outdoor stuff at basically out rages price just because it got name on it.

Great vid, kept the mulitday-er!? to one short vid worked well. Looked like an epic, well done💪
Yup, four nights squeezed into half an hour. Thanks very much mate, I enjoyed it really 😁😁
Nice one mate, great adventure 👍
Thanks very much 👍👍
Hi Graham, lovely video this is, never done a multi day hike, perhaps one day ,scenery was nice.
Cheers Adrian
Hi Adrian, it was my first long distance way and it might be my last. My feet need a lot of healing ! Really enjoyed it though
Graham you are a trooper, carrying the gear to film and walk 90 miles.

Thanks Nick, was a cracking walk👍
Thanks for the video Graham, really inspiring, hopefully doing the way next year! =)
Thank you very much, good luck with your trip, ATB, Graham 👍
Well done pal. Well done indeed..... Glad to hear of the great humanity you experienced👏 Sadly lacking nowadays😥
Thanks very much, my first LD trail and I did make mistakes. Life is a big learning curve! Cheers 👍👍

@@markhindmarsh9994 if it wasn’t for having to carry camera equipment I’d definitely use them. I wonder if there is benefit to using just one?

Thanks for this great watch, I’m doing the dales way in July but keeping to 13-16 miles a day so hoping I will be okay.
Thank you for watching. That sounds a sensible number of daily miles and it’s a lovely part of the country, hope you enjoy it, ATB, Graham
Wow mate some trek...managing to film and carry all equipment is something to admire. Well done. thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much: doing those ‘walking past the camera shots’ was a pain lol 😂. Did a few extra km because of that 😂 TFW 👍
Well done lads👍the add lib approach just added to the adventure 👌 you'll be back for more once the feet heal?🤕cheers.good to see the laser comp out btw.

@@grahamswildcamping A nice route with plenty of interest and nice places to camp
@@mow-zr6ni I’m looking forward to it, only ever walked small sections of the wall, but, as you say, fascinating place
Well done lads . I know about bad rucksacks and I would definately advise an Osprey Exos in what size you want.
I've never owned an Osprey rucksack but their reputation speaks for itself. I live too close to the Montane factory shop and I bought another Montane rucksack last month- the Naukan. Time will tell! Maybe an Osprey next. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching 👍ATB, Graham
