Great video,I'm 57 and come from Ceredigion but used to live near Amroth so i know the srea,I've recently walked most of the Ceredigion coastal path and plan to do as much of the Pembrokeshire one when I have a week off in March.I am truly Blessed to live in such a beautiful area 🙏🏻🥾🎒🏴
I'm looking forward to this one. I love your hikes with your dad as well.
I walked the path over 40 years back when I was 14, I was with my mate who was 15. We carried everything including most of our dehydrated food for the two weeks lol. No mobile phones, we had to find a phone box every other day to call our parents back in Northamptonshire.
It took us 12 days wild camping most nights, we even walked the extra distance around the big firing range which I don't think is included in the paths official mileage.
I think we might still be the youngest people to if ever walked it in one go with no parental supervision 😂😂😂
That's a great pro tip with the hiking poles for wind on the MSR tent, looking forward to trying that on mine.
Its one of the best walks in Wales. Saundersfoot is one of my favourite places. ..i live an hour away from it.🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Nicely done Sam enjoying the watch , 👍
Awesome, would love to do this route one day! Looking forward to the next vid. 👍
New to your youtube site! It was the Welsh Coast path that brought me here. We have walked all of it (not in one go) at varies stages of our lives. Always holiday in South Wales, cant beat it. Looking forward to your journey! Tenby is FAB 🥰
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing Sam!
Love it i go to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path next week.
Oh wow tenby looks amazing! Thank you for taking us along with you, can't wait for the next part! Love your confidence, motivation and enthusiasm. I am inspired 😊
Great video , looking forward to the rest the series and your back catalogue (new sub)
Great idea with the trekking poles,I'll have to wait til i watch the next episode 👍
The big man with the beard is back!!! Good to see your trail adventures again mate
Aup mateeeee! Thanks for watching it, just putting the next one together, some of the beaches were insaneeee 🌅🏴
Absolutely loved this, thanks Sam...Such an informative vlog, looking forward to the next episode 😊 ...Planning on doing the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path next year and can't wait x
Top class as always 😃
Followed your progress on IG. Looks stunning, and not too far away from me. Great to start watching the full episodes. Inspiring stuff. Keep up the good work, Sam.
Hi Sam, thoroughly enjoying the short videos on facebook and now the UA-cam ones, we are doing section walks on the Pembrokeshire coast path this week and having a blast, hopefully one day do the whole path in one go!
Really enjoyed your daily posts on instagram, when you were doing this walk, never thought about looking you up on UA-cam, enjoyed part one , great footage Sam 👌
Hi, loving this. I love in pembrokeshire and I'm doing the path in sections with my partner. We're not in any rush 😊. The section from stack rocks to fresh west is occasionally open to the public, via a guided tour by the national parks authority. Obvs you need to time it right. Nice videos. Da Iawn
Great views and all the details of kit & info on the route is fab... making notes for short hikes. many thanks Sam
Great stuff, Sam. I know the area very well as my mother‘s family were from Milford Haven. Indeed, I’m off with my new partner, I am 70 she is 75, for a week staying near Tenby and I intend showing her the many wonderful beaches, my favourite being Broad Haven, Bosherston. I hope to have a day on the northside and, who knows, we may even dare to swim in the Blue Lagoon.
Ohhh nice! Milford haven was a nice stop for me in the journey ! So many beautiful places along the way! Thanks for watching 🙏
Great video. Know Pembrokeshire well from many holidays but only ever walked small chunks of the coast path. It's definitely one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.
I couldn’t believe some of the places along that coast, absolutely incredible 🏴
fab video Sam loved it and looking forward to part 2. some of those sights were amazing, I really liked the look of Tenby and the bays as you walked along the tops it looks like an amazing hike. the campsite was spot on to for £10 a night you cant fault that. really enjoying these longer videos keep up the cracking work 🙂
Tenby was lovely mate! Worth a visit… such an amazing section of coastline, I want to do it again already 😂🥾
@@Samrculley I think I'm gonna go and have a look round there myself as it really does look such a beautiful place
Beautiful part of the country ….
Great video Sam. Lots of info, pointing out campsites etc on the way. looking forward to the next part :)
Great video Sam! Thanks! Excited to watch the whole series!
Thanks James 🙏👍
This is great, thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the other parts :D
Loved the video Sam, I'm looking forward to part 2. Watching your trip is definitely giving me the insensitive to try a solo caming trip🙈
Thanks Tracy! The solo camping life becomes a habit! Once you start you can’t stop 🥾🏴 🏕️
Loving it Sam - your enthusiasm is GREAT! I can see so much of me in you. My kit was a lot different, as I didn't camp. Also, I wore proper boots (but looking at yours, I wish I'd had them!). Looking forward today two
Thanks matey! I tell you what, making a few changes and getting my kit so much lighter made the world of difference compared to some of the hikes I’ve done in the past! Did you manage to hostel / bnb it the whole way?
@@Samrculleyyes, no camping, all hostels/B&B. I did stay in St David's, lovely little hostel 👍
cracking video ,thanks for taking us along.
I was following this on your Instagram and have been looking forward to the videos. Great start and looking forward to the rest.
Thanks so much!
Love it 🎉
I've really enjoyed following your adventure on Instagram and it's great to see a bit more. I've just finished my first multi-day hike in Anglesey and I'm considering doing my next one in Pembrokeshire so really enjoying all your tips!
Honestly mate you should do some if not all of that coastline you’ll love it!
Love this Sam. Watching you do this journey on Instagram has inspired me to try. Did my first walk to try and get going the other day and managed 6 miles. Was buzzing with myself and then realised watching this video that youre doing just under 20 a day 🤦🏻😂. Suppose we all need to start somewhere. Inspirational stuff mate 👍🏻
Don’t worry about the miles! My first walk was about 2 miles, just enjoy it mate! Being out in nature is sooooo good for us isn’t it! Keep it up buddy, I’ll be watching your UA-cam videos soon 👏🥾
@@Samrculley Thanks mate. It really is good being out there, good for the old noggin too. Also love that you reference all your kit which is really helpful to us newcomers. 👍🏻
Great video Sam! I watched your TikTok videos of this walk and I was looking forward to the UA-cam ones. When can we expect part 2??
Thanks a lot! Part 2 around 6pm this evening! Just on it now ☺️🥾
I would love to something like this but with my dog.
Gutted for you that the tunnels at wisemans bridge are still closed
Amazing trip great videos. What was the date you did this? I've done several sections over the years looking at doing some big chunks this autumn to try to finish it
Amazing video just found channel
The scenery looks fantastic.
You showed your shoes, which look more like trainers, do they have the same grip and support as hiking boots. Or are they more like barefoot shoes?
One question about the shoes. I have duff feet and need a soft inside. Almost cushioned. Are they really comfy? I still haven't found that one type of shoe that works for my fallen arches and hammer toes. Bit of a crip this end.😂
Hi mate, I find them to be the comfiest I’ve had so far, nice wide toe box so plenty of room for my feet even when swollen! But it’s one of those things you never know until you’ve tried them on yourself! 😅
I’m laying on a bed kicking back after finishing the trail today, July 1. When did you start the trail?
I did this a few weeks ago now early June! Amazing isn’t it!
@@Samrculley Yes it was an amazing experience. We started June 12 in Pembroke dock. Milford Haven to Dale was our second day in hurricane winds, torrential rain, late low tides and uncut grass. It really tested the perseverance. When we got to Cardigan we took bus back to beginning to met our daughter and do Amroth to Pembroke Dock.
Big man where are those shades from?!
You know what I bought them in a souvenir shop in France 😂 I wish I could tell you where to find them but I have no idea!
@@Samrculley always the way man!
What editing program do you use for the youtube videos?
I use CapCut pro on my laptop ☺️
@ thank you. I downloaded cap cut earlier today to try out on my latest video. Thanks. Love the content you create
