Thanks so much. It's beautiful and peaceful there.

@jakegraham5640 You are always welcome 🤗

Hey Mark, thanks for watching the vid. Yes I agree, it's great being in amongst all of it. Hopefully you have some good trips planned this year. Happy 2025!

@@jakegraham5640 A pleasure Jake - it was an awesome hike. Well, I've been injured. Hopefully, I can get back out on some trails. Peace.

@@WyeExplorer Oh sorry to hear that. I hope you get on the mend in time for spring!

thanks for the kind comment

Hi there, I'm glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to watch.

Thanks Alan. I'm guessing by your youtube name, that you are a keen walker too!

Hi there, that's interesting and also a bit worrying. we did it in September so it was probably the least snowy time of year. But i'm sure overall snow cover has reduced.

Your country is very special

Hey there. It was September time. Great time to go!

That's very kind of you to say. Just happy you enjoyed it. Jake

Hi Mary, thank you. I hope you have an amazing time. it is a great walk. Every day has o much to take in. :)

Thanks Stephen, seems like a long time ago now. Its great to see our walk still being enjoyed. It was an unforgettable journey. Its thanks to comments like yours that we can hopefully be reminded of it again and again. Many thanks for watching

Wow thankyou. That is really kind of you to say that. I am glad you enjoyed following the journey. Wales is a special place. Jake

Thankyou! that's so nice to hear. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

Thanks for watching, Hope you have an amazing trip!

Hi Marilyn, thank you so much for such a lovely message. I am glad you enjoyed. its such a beautiful country.

Thanks for watching the vid. We camped that night so didn't stay there. My grandad had stayed there in the passed and loved it! What a beautifully remote place

Hey! thanks for watching and it sounds like you have a great trip planned. In answer to your questions, I did it with my brother and loved sharing the experience, but we met many people walking long distances on their own and they seemed very happy. So I think that's a personal preference. It is obviously a bit safer doing it with someone incase you run into issues like injury, getting lost etc. I think its more important that you are well prepared and respectful of the terrain and weather. If you are, then doing it alone should be fine. We carried a small light weight stove so ate hot food every night. We usually carried 3-4 days of food that we picked up in village stores or supermarkets in larger towns. Hopefully that helps a bit and feel free to ask anything else and if I can help I will. I hope you have an amazing trip :) Jake

Thanks for the kind comment and I'm sure you would not regret it if you did it. :)

Thanks so much for watching :)

Wow thankyou for such kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it and hopefully you are enjoying some great adventures too! Jake

Thankyou Jarmila :)

Wow sounds like you have some great plans. Good luck with all of your future adventures! If you can fit everything in then your pack isn't too small. Ours were probably too big :)

Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for that very kind comment and I'm really happy you enjoyed the film without any commentary. Wales is so beautiful, it didn't need me chatting away to show that :) Thanks, Jake

Hey Fraser, that's very kind of you to say. Danny is an editor for outdoor magazines and I have set up my own wildlife friendly landscaping business. Hoping you are all good and have had a great summer!

@jakegraham5640 wow that's fantastic 👏. Great to hear you've both got pretty cool careers. Best of wishes to the two brothers of the Cape wrath 😬😁👍🏼.

@@fraserconnell21 Likewise to you too fraser!

Thanks Jeremy for the kind comment. The first week was great weather then the heavens opened on us for 2 weeks straight. All the best!

Thank you so much!

Me too!

Hey there, wow what a beautiful commute to work that must have been. Its nice that it hasn't changed much and has still got its rural feel considering its so close to a big city. All the best, Jake

Hey, yes another TH-camr was trying to find the third part of a three part film I made 10 years ago. Not sure why it disappeared. I will be uploading another walk in the near future when I get the time to edit it. Thanks for following the channel :)

Hi there, I am glad you enjoyed it and found it relaxing. And thanks so much for watching.

Hi Mark, That's great that you watched this video, I don't get too many views on the extended videos of that trip as I made a compact video with all three parts in that people seem to prefer. I hope I never forget the atmosphere when we walked down into the Doubs Valley. It was something truly magical. I have just sent the link to your page to my brother Danny. He will find it very interesting. You must know the wye valley like no other person. You should find part 3 on my page. I hope you enjoy it! Jake

I have just re uploaded the 3rd and final part of the walk. For some reason the original upload had disappeared. Hopefully you will be able to view it. :)

@@jakegraham5640 I loved it Jake - I wasn't distracted at all. Good to hear of the Doubs Valley - it is epic from what you've shown us. Thanks for sharing the link with Danny. Yeah, I've been all over the basin - it's an amazing space. I'll be watching part 3 for sure. If you have the time don't for get about 'The Wild Irfon Way.' I want you to meet my twin. Peace.

@@jakegraham5640 Thanks Jake. I appreciate that. Have a great week ahead.

@@jakegraham5640 Just to say Jake comments and saving is disabled.

Thankyou for watching. Wales is truly stunning :)

Eileen, thank you. You should go, you won't regret it. I hope you live out your daydream

Thanks Catherine, I am glad you liked it. :)

Hi Mark, that is a very emotional but beautiful comment. I try not to take for granted those moments in the wild and sharing it with someone that you are so in tune with. Your comment has reminded me of that, so thank you. I'm sure you and Paul had some great adventures. That walk remains the most incredible experience of my life. Jake

@@jakegraham5640 Hi Jake, I totally resonate with how profound the experience must have been for you two. Glad Paul and I could remind you of it - you never know what will happen in life. Resonating in true twin fashion I've saved the other video. Will watch soon. Peace. P.S if interested Paul is on this adventure called: 'The Wild Irfon Way,' in two parts. In your own time. Peace.

@@WyeExplorer I found the video The Wild Ifron Way and will definitely be watching it. I'm sure it will remind me a lot of my walks. I also had a look at your website which was brilliant. All the best of your adventures!

Thanks Brendan, that's very nice of you to say. It was a great walk!

70 something, thank you. And yes it felt like the real Wales, such a breathtaking place. When ever I think about where to go for a trip, my first thought is always to head west as far into Wales as I can go. Thank you again for your lovely comment

Thanks Reasons Voice!

Hello, it was an amazing walk. Wales is one of my favourite places. There were lots of places to resupply on food along the route. In some places, on a daily basis, but in others you would have to carry up to 3 days of food. So the pack weight changed depending on that. The bags were probably on average around 15kg. All the best on your adventures. Jake

Hey, thank you for your comment. I feel like I'm constantly coming across the Glyndwr Way path via other walks and it always seems to be in lovely locations. Have an amazing time :)

Hey, I bet you are excited, not too far away now. We did generally follow the route but the second half of the trip was so wet that we had to alter our route a bit and avoid some of Snowdonia's highlights. But either way, 3 weeks felt like a good pace if following the route exactly. The filming and photos did make walking a bit slower so you may be able to more miles in a day than we did. Have a great trip!

@@jakegraham5640 yes I know others will be walking in June but I always have a massive build up prior to walks as it’s part of the adventure for me. The walk is the journey, the full experience is the adventure. I’m going to post up another video today before I actually start on my true prep videos.

@@madmikesworld5713 Very true. Great I will take a look once its up!

Hey Anthony, sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for your message, and kind words. I haven't done the Beacons Way but it looks great. You are right, it is obsessive and it feels like doing the longer walks makes even more seem possible. I highly recommend the Cambrian Way, and you can pic alternative routes if you are not up for some of the peaks. We did a lot of that in Snowdonia as we had such rainy weather. Yes we (my brother and I) always use a map and compass. We have never used GPS or a mobile to navigate on any of our walks. This is just personal preference though as we like the idea of using a physical map and seeing the greater area. It makes the experience feel more authentic. Obviously it makes your pack bit heavier. The cicerone guide is also great! I would say we do these trips every couple of years but always have lots of ideas in the pipeline. I have vids from the other big walks on my channel. Good luck with the Cambrian Way if you decide to do it and ask away if there is anything else you want to know about the route . :)

Thanks for watching Dave

Hello, thank you for the kind comment. Yes I'm sure you would be able to do it if you are fairly fit. The most important thing is being able to navigate as there are a number of trackless sections. So being competent with a map and compass is important. The great thing is you can adapt the route if you feel like some of the more challenging parts are too much. There are lots of places to stay on route too ( apart from the middle section). We did around 12-14miles a day. If you want any more info then just ask. Have an amazing time if you make it out there. Thanks, Jake

Thanks for watching Jason

Hey, thanks so much for watching the video and glad you liked it. Its a fairly well trodden route. Generally you could find spots easily higher up, . Here you can find amazing spots but you are more exposed to the elements. In the more populated valleys it was a little more challenging ( if we camp, we do it discretely and respectfully so wouldn't just camp anywhere), so we did use campsites a little more than normal. It's an incredible trail and I'm sure you will love it. Thanks, Jake

Thanks Jake, much appreciated! Good luck with future hikes!

Amazing you found the video! glad you liked it. Hopefully it brought back great memories. I had to put the message in as it was an unexpected highlight!

Hey Craig, thanks for watching the vid. I think we did around 20-25 km a day depending on the terrain. Up and walking by 7.30-8am and finding a camp spot around 4-5pm. Some days were more and some less, we just made sure we did distances that meant we would enjoy the experience as much as possible. We got food from supermarkets, small stores etc. so not much more than ordinary living. we didn't eat out much and we mainly drank water which is obviously free. Hope that all helps, if you want more info jsut get in touch. Good luck with your journey, it will be the best thing you ever did! Jake

Thanks Richard, it is beautiful at that time with all of the autumn colours.
