Good luck, wish you all the best!

Glad it helped...are you doing it?

Time on feet, I'm not the fastest, but consistency is key. Start with smaller challenges and work up. Slow and steady works for me. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

We really enjoyed our time there, but if you have done other islands, especially in Thailand then there will be nothing that stands out about Pankor Island.

Glad you watched the video in the end! As a hobby this channel makes me no money, so I only use free music from the TH-cam Audio library and I'm not a musical person, so choosing the soundtrack is not my strong point. I find watching videos without music can be a little boring. The mute button may be your friend with my videos!

@@TravelTrekRun I did watch it with the mute button.That’s a shame because I like hearing your commentary and the sound of the wind. It certainly would not be boring without that music. Keep up the good work. Dave.

It’s incredible to see how places evolve over time. The transformation from a fisherman's village to what it is now must be quite something. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching and for the update. I have now moved to the highlands of Scotland, so it's quite a way for a new video!

Wishing you all the best as you return to complete your Pennine Way adventure. It may be 28 years before I return to complete it!

Yes, it's a shame; Sycamore gap was the highlight of the trek.

Yes, Sycamore gap was the highlight of my trip, glad I got to see it before it was chopped down.

Nothing beats the Lakes in nice weather!

It's a great race. Well organised and very scenic.

This time the idea was just to get the km's in and complete the route. Four days down, something to come back and do at a later date.

It was all or nothing (unsupported or nothing!). Thanks for watching.

Good luck, it's a scenic route and well worth doing!

Thanks for watching my vídeo and good luck with your races in 2024!

Thanks for your comments. I think the Cheviots would have been my favourite part had I made it that far!

That was way back in 2011. Didn't see the spectator (cheat) bus, too busy trying not to cramp up, concentrat8ng on the trail ahead!

@@TravelTrekRunI’d really love to do a Marathon but I completed Reading Half Marathon last year(my first half)in a really awful 3hrs and for the last two miles my legs were really cramping up😢I don’t really get it as my longest training run was 11 miles so it’s kind of put me off of a full Marathon!

Just build up gradually and well in advance, make running part of your daily/weekly life and you'll get there! Good luck with your next race, whatever it is.

Thank you! Just watched your Hadrian's Wall teaser, excellent!

Ah, thanks! Yes, I love making those trailers, I watch them often. That one with the song ‘Some Stories’ was written, sung and played by my friend who lives round the corner. It’s a cracker I reckon 👍

Good luck with your race! Hopefully I will be there this year, just doing a bit more training to see if I will be fit enough!

@@TravelTrekRun managed to complete this years marathon in a time off 4 hours 51 mins. hit the wall half way so was agonising the rest of the way but pushed on to the finish.

Great effort @micky1311! I also ran this year & knocked over 20 minutes off last year's time; so finished in just a tad over 4 hours. More training and I'll and try for a sub 4 hours next year! In both my races my legs have started to cramp up a few KM's from the finish. Will you be there next year?

It really is! Really enjoyed spending a christmas there

Hi John D, no, I'm not going to delete any vídeos. New vídeos about running and my adventures in Scotland will be on the new channel. If I do a non Scotland vídeo, it will be on this, my old channel.

@@TravelTrekRun Awesome! Perhaps you could also do some videos on the gear you are using?

Yes, I plan to do updated videos on the gear I use, but these will be on the new channel, and will probably include midge nets and midge repellent!

@@TravelTrekRun And raingear!😉

Thanks for watching, glad it was useful. Good luck in the race!

Hi Richard, thanks for your comments & thanks for watching my video! I get more fun from pushing myself than making life easy! I also prefer running in the mountains, and the first few days on the Pennine Way are more countryside (with lots of fields and styles). So, as I could not make the challenge about being self-sufficient it would have just turned into a countryside run (albeit a beautiful one); and that's why I decided to call it a day.

Thanks for your comments & good luck with your trip this July!

It was an old 3/4 length thermarest sleeping pad (514g) in the video, but I have since changed it. I now use a cheap Light Tour pad (295g) from Aliexpress (www.aliexpress.com/item/4001223973136.html). It packs down really small, it's probably not the best quality but for spring, summer and autumn adventures I love it. At £25 / $30 it's an affordable option. Only used it about 10 nights but so far so good!

Hi, it is the Lanshan 1 Pro, I purchased it in July 2020, it would have been the most up to date model at that time. It's NOT the Lanshan 1 Plus

@@TravelTrekRun Thank you

@@TravelTrekRun do you think i need seal this model using silicone?

All 3F UL Lanshans that are double sided silicon coated (silnylon) need to have their seams silicon sealed in order to be waterproof. A slightly messy but simple process you can do yourself, just buy a small tube of silicon sealer designed for silnylon like 'Gear Aid Seam Grip+ SIL Silicone Tent Sealant' or equilivent

@@TravelTrekRun thank you i found one on amazon.

It was one of those prefect winter days; no clouds, no wind and the sun was out... a pleasure to run in.

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed them.

Great to hear you have done the walk yourself; thanks for watching my attempt!

It's an amazing race; there's also a half marathon, 10k and run bike run.

@@TravelTrekRun looks like it’s a tough one from your video

The company is called 'Phi Phi Local Tour' it was the Early Bird snorkeling trip. If they haven't changed, then these are their phone numbers: 096 895 2318 / 087 885 3467.

Thank you very much!

Thanks, enjoy the island!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
