NORTH DOWNS WAY: Day 4 - Oxted to Otford
ฝัง

- The walk on the North Downs Way from Oxted to Otford was not my favorite 12 miles of the trail because of the farmland walking, but it still held some gorgeous hidden gems. The joy of hiking such a wooded trail in October is that I was surrounded by the gorgeous colors of autumn almost the whole way, and the golden colors almost made up for the lack of golden sun.
The Oxted to Otford section has the most awkward end to beginning public transport links and to save money I went via Tonbridge vs going into London and back out again.

Keep the videos coming and you'll soon be hitting 2k! Stay safe and well, Ceri and Kat ❤👍🌞☕🏆
Thanks guys. Appreciate it. You guys will get there...sooner rather than later I hope; more fun to watch than most channels out there :-) Can't wait to see some of your longer camping videos.
I'm so glad I waited until I had time to watch all of this series so far in one go, I love autumn, it's my favourite time of year, it's not just the colours, the smells of autumn bring me real joy, I can't wait for the 5th one
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying them. I haven't finished the NDW yet so the fifth one is the last for now. Lookong forward to finishing it though
@@WilderhopeAdventures I bet you are glad you aren't out there finishing it this wk, it's a tad windy and not ideal for being out in the trees lol
@@MetallicrealitE No...but I'm in Wales trying not to get blown off cliff tops!
@@WilderhopeAdventures lmao! Sounds perfect 🤣 my dad was from south Wales, he used to climb one of the mountains and it was so windy he cud lean all the way forward into it without falling down 💖
Thanks, CJ. Love your dogs. 👍🙂🐶🐶
Thank you...I think they bring in the viewers...I'll pass on your compliments to them :-)
Wow loving this place
Agreed...I love the trees here so much
More beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing - while I probably won't do this walk, it's lovely to see it anyway.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
Gorgeous walk as always. The pups are looking great also. Have a great bank holiday 😀, Brian and Sah
Thanks. They are doing great and loving life on this adventure in Wales
Another lovely walk & video. Had to laugh as I was admiring the quality of trails when you said they were difficult. Come to Dartmoor and you’ll love the Downs trails. 👍👍👍👍👍
Ha ha....they really aren't that difficult. I'm done some pretty tough trails in the US...just makes me feel a little better to complain about thr uphills when doing them...gives me more oomphs
For Autumn colours (colors), your timing was pretty good. Some really awkward looking gates on that trail though.
Well done on hitting ten ton.
Yeah, definitely. Love Autumn for colors, just like spring. Other than mud season (winter) there is something I love about walking in all seasons.
And thank you :-) It's been a great experience already and hoping for much more
Love these vids ! I’m packing at moment in London to get back on North Downs Way . Was on it a few days ago , Will now rejoin it from Dorking heading to Rochester . Got to go , see you soon !
Enjoy; hope the mud isn't too bad
You passed near my nearest NDW point to home. I know that stretch between Chestnut Avenue and Knockholt very well . There is a beautiful loop that you would have past called the Chevening Circular that takes you off the NDW down a stunning valley footpath and turns past Chevening House where the Foreign Office Ministers country retreat is and then back up onto the NDW ...worth a look 👀
I'll have to bear that in mind for future walks, but also good to know for anyone else watching and looking for recommendations
Just awesome titsey hill can be a very beautiful place in summer I actually spent the night at the top few years ago and I’ve always planned to go back for another but never got round to it fingers crossed for this year great video nice one for pointing out the dodgy turn at the hotel to see u in part 5
Paul
Thanks Paul. It really is a gorgeous trail...I much prefer it to the SDW
Hmm, clay and chalk - neither a great prospect when drenched! While walking in autumn is often spectacularly coloured it always makes me a bit melancholy. Walking in winter doesn’t because there’s the promise of better days ahead, but there’s a definite ‘that’s all for now folks!’ feel about some autumn days out. The colours of the dead leaves always make me wish I had one iota of the talent of Andy Goldsworthy!
Ha ha...I kinda get what you mean. I do love Autumn as a season though, and it's a bit different here than in the US where we have the beautiful garb of winter to enjoy (which gets very old, very quick).
Hi Cj, I am hoping to do the NDW in July in the car camper. I would be interested to know where you camp each day and how youi get back to the car at the end of each walk.
The NDW is great for this due to the easy access of public transport along the route. This website is awesome in helping to plan how to get back to the car each day. www.northdownsway.co.uk
Feel free to email me and I can share some park-ups (not to be shared on the overnight parking apps please) and how I broke things up and got back each day
Thank you. The website looks good.👍
@@davidgentry7103 Most of the publc transport info is up to date. The only really difficult section to get to and from was Etchinghill
Does the peak of your cap act like an air scoop in windy conditions? How do you stop it blowing off?
Ha ha...it can. I've only ever lost it at a gallop on a horse, or on one very insanely windy day. It fits me pretty good
