    stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat

    Great to hear about your latest venture Alex. You have our great admiration for a 26mile hike. I know when you do it though you will be well prepared and make your mum proud. It's a really wonderful cause which we'd like to donate too. Let us know how we can do that Alex. Good luck with your preparations. Xx

    Hello Alex, I appreciated your video. Wish I could be know Belper Town one day. Greetings from Brazil.

    What a great cause Alex. I’m sure your mum would be very proud. I’ll pop a donation on for you 👍. I made mistakes on the Cleveland Way with food, in that I just didn’t take enough on board so I was flagging energy wise as the week unfolded. I think the trick is to eat little but often and the right kind of stuff rather than my usual approach which is to snack on crap like chocolate! Best of luck with the challenge 🙂

    • @alexcripps.outdoors
      @alexcripps.outdoors  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you so much for the donation Anthony! That really means a lot 👍 Thank you for the tips, I’ll definitely try pack enough food and water for sure and yes completely agree with little and often, that’s where I’ve gone wrong in the past. Thanks again Anthony, really appreciate it 😊

    That is such a good cause Alex, and one that is also close to my heart. I lost my dear Mum because of cancer when I was 17. I am so sorry to hear that you lost your Mum due to cancer as well, I know how hard that is. Preparation is definitely key for such a long endurance walk, but it looks like you are well on the way to building up to it. Pay day is only a few days away and I will be proud to donate to the cause. Well done and all the best for your preparations. And great to hear that you’ll be up in the Peaks once more as that means a lot more videos to enjoy as I pine for my next Peak District visit 😃 I hope to bump into you at some point out in the PD.

      Thank you so much for the kind words Greg, and so sorry to hear you lost your mum also, it has been a very tough year for sure. And thank you so much for wanting to donate it really means a lot! Yes got lots of training walks planned in the Peaks and can’t wait to get back there next week, plenty of Peak District videos coming to the channel! Thanks again Greg for the kind words means a lot! Take care 👍😁

    Great cause mate. Lost my aunt in extremely similar circumstances. Didn’t see it coming. I think the hike is now full from what I’ve seen by would be great to plan where you’ll be and I’ll come out for a few miles etc! Drop me a message and we can figure that out neater the time.

      @alexcripps.outdoors  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much for the donation mate! Really appreciate that. Sorry to hear about your Aunt, yeah it’s a horrible thing to happen isn’t it. If you’re wanting to do the hike there’s a waiting list, worth putting your name down as that’s how I got in. And mate I’d love it if you joined for a few miles! I’ll drop you a message nearer the time and we can sort something. Top man. Thanks again for the donation, really means a lot! I’ll message you soon when I’m up your way and we’ll smash out a big walk 👍👍

    Your mum would be so proud of you ♥️ Really hope it goes well and we look forward to seeing you prepare and meet the challenge. We have learnt we last much longer with enough water and snacks, usually naked bars. But the adrenaline will get you through I'm sure! 🙆🏼‍♀️ Maybe see you around in Derbyshire or the Peaks from next week 🥳

    • @alexcripps.outdoors
      @alexcripps.outdoors  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes I sometimes struggle with drinking enough water so that’s definitely something I need to improve on and I love Naked bars! They’ll definitely keep me going 😁 Yes I’ll look to the skies in search of your drone 😁 can’t wait to get back! Thanks again 👍👍😊

    Hello Alex , I'm looking to do the Mighty Hike this year 26.miles...looking back are there more tips you advice other than what's mentioned in your vidoe ? What pace do you need to walk to complete 26miles ?
