#backpacking #hiking
Massive thanks to everyone who's followed so far! The 4th and final part will be out next Sunday mate. Do you guys have any decent hikes you'd like to see me attempt? Thanks again, I really do appreciate you watching.
Will you do any munros in Scotland mate? Can imagine the sunsets/sunrises! Few medics as well
the early part of the Downs, westside, there is trails about 5/10 mile north of that official way, that are much more in woodland and so forth, might not be fastest but less rambling through arable fields and so on.
Pennine Way and South west coast path (all of it from Poole to Minehead)
I read the ‘salt path’. Would love to see you walk the north Devon and Cornwall coast path.
The South West Coast Path. I did it in six years, a week off work every year. You could do the same, week off when you can
you are an inspiration and you have inspired me more than you know. I’ve been watching your videos for around 6 months now, and I am now obsessed with camping. The only problem is, I now don’t enjoy siting at home and watching Netflix. Thank you for inspiring me and others, if I never watched your videos, I wouldn’t have woke up. You have reminded people to connect to theirs true nature. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 😊😊
Its beautiful down south, but I still like the heather and dry stone walls x
Always get that sunscreen on your ears! So many times people who work outside end up avoiding their ears and have challenges with skin cancer. Make sure you take care of your cute ears!
Love the video mate, give yourself a "pat on the back" 🤪😂
I’m been planning to do this route soon, as I grew up in worthing just of South Downs route and visit my old home.
I remember doing the South Downs Way with my 2 cousins in 2010. Turned into a 100 mile pub crawl 😂 awesome memories. Top job mate!
Ey up me duck.
As per, really enjoyed this me owd cocka and those guys were legends 👣🤙
Was doing the Nibelungen Trail near to my home town in Germany during same heat wave and wearing a straw hat. And that was a game changer for me. Will never forget the first night out and staring for hours at stars and thousands of fireflies around me. Never seen so many at once in my life
Brilliant stuff. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us while doing all this.
Cracking vid mate
Legend mate! Thank you!
Neck oil..one of my favourites. 🍺
Forget your ipas and your ales mate an ice cold lagers what you want. Next stop ....6 pack of Neck Oil IPA please Landlord 😂🤣😂🤣 🍻. As it's hot you can't do me for it though ..mate !
Big Up Haze ya a walkin Warrior Jah Bless stay Ital Salut de France 🇫🇷 🇪🇹 🇯🇲
Forget a roast with Yorkshire puddings….this is what Sundays are all about 😊
Very debatble 😋
Pat On The Back lol
Oh my god. I didn't realise how invested I was until I saw that IPA and realised my mouth was watering for you 😂
Looking forward to tomorrow's coffee, thanks for the spoiler during map-time! ;)
For a grown man I laughed way too much at the cow that'd been shat on 🤣, great video as always Hazey
You never disappoint, always great to watch. Looking forward to next week already
Classic
Humaa.... You are forgiven...heatstroke...hee..hee..hee..Your do,ing brill..always fantastic to watch..Sid
Cheers sid
Great adventure, beautiful landscapes and views, I recently started documenting my adventures myself, I love this direction. Good luck on your adventures. Greetings from a Belarusian tourist!
Thanks mate
Nice bud it’s still fighting the good fight pal.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
How so nice weather!! :D Stuck in rain and wind all week in Ireland..... arghhh
Going great so far,well done. See you next week for part 4. Take care.
Love a sunday night when haze comes on, my go to just before kip ready for work in morning,keep it up mate your doing great 👍🏻
Loving watching your sub count raise slowly but surely, dude. I’m guessing your dedication to these hikes is helping a lot. 💪
Cheers my man!
Mooooyouoooo - Ghost cows 👻 🐄 🐄 made me laugh. Thanks Hazy, great video as usual.
Epic...... "legend"..... nuff said lad 👊
Mad how this was ten minutes ago and BAM we're in Autumn 👊
Walked the Pennine Way this summer, planning to walk the SDW sometime next year, so I'm really enjoying watching this series of films. I can highly recommend the PW, tough going in places but sublime scenery. Great vlog as always, Hazey, looking forward to the final part.
For anyone not familiar with Yorkshire/British "see you later" is not a literal promise, it means Goodbye.
loving this series fella! such entertaining craic and inspiring to get me arse outdoors in my spare time, cheers!
They already invented the alcoholic slushy , its called a daquari. They do them in any flavour you can think of bud . Lol M
Happy? Consider the Offas Dyke Path (Wales)
Funnily enough I cracked the same moo joke
A while back like
Those 2 cans hit the spot no doubt. Great trek Hazy!
I could have had more! They really did hit the spot
Love this walk mate! Epic!
I am in the US but I love watching your videos. I hope to do a walking holiday in the UK some time. I have done three treks at Philmont in the US. It is a Boy Scouts camp in the mountains of northern New Mexico. You want hot? Go there. Indian Writings camp (been there three times) has always been well over 100 F! I live near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Here, lack of water is not the issue, it is humidity and rain. But I love hiking. Love getting out there. Love your content. One day I will hope a jet and hike in the UK.
I love walking down south, it’s beautiful! And that’s coming from a Derbyshire girl x
Excellent Hike True Beast in all the Heat Enjoying all your trips this summer and getting to see all the Beautiful UK Countryside Thanks for sharing Keep On Keeping On All the Best To you Mate👍👍
Thanks mate
Aye hazey try the(goatfell) in arran wee island get the ferry from ardrossan 1 hour fae glasgow 1 hour oan ferry wee walk tae goatfell is a corbert just shy of a munro good 3 hours to the top great views if nice mate atb
About time, been waiting for this 🙄😂
Brilliant !! Just up the road from me , hitting it tomorrow for a few days , cracking viddy with some stunning views 👍👍
Hey mate - I love the circular walks - Anglesey or Arran are good.
Hazy epic as always. You couldn’t do it in one go but the Welsh coastal path you would love. You could break into sections. Beautiful scenery, great pubs and loads of stunning beaches for dunking and sleeping.
Should have said "pat on the back" though 🤣
Get a brake cable and use that to make gaiter "straps"...leave the coating on, take it off...depends on you.
I used that to hold gaiters on my big mountain boots...worked a treat.
The chickens were Guinea Fowl 😊👍🏼
His last words before collapsing in a babbling heap were: "How goo Mrs. Ghost Cow, do you know where I can get mi'sen a sludge puppy...medic!"
It’s how I want to go 😊
@@HazeOutdoors 🤣👍
Really useful to see these heatwave hiking series. I'm off to wildcamp the Lycian Way in Turkey through Oct and will be 30+. Lots of tips here but any more from anyone much appreciated...
I ❤️ map time 🤣
Anyone want to listen to my idea for a Haze board game? Pick your haze board game piece (haze with poles, haze with lollipop lady hat on, haze in his duds, haze on an electric bike). Roll the dice to move round the board. Various trails leading across rivers, up hills or through the snow. Land on a Medic! Square and you have to pick up a Medic! Card, revealing potential hazards like camping on a cliff edge which initially seems ideal but in the middle of the night you nearly get blown off - move back 2 spaces. Every 4th square is a pub - grab a Northern Monk (the players literally have to drink a can of Faith). Once you go around the board you have to pick up a Map Damon card. First player to collect 4 Map Damon cards wins!
Best comment award goes to you mate! Take a bow my friend x
@@HazeOutdoors we can talk royalties later 😂😂😂
Love this idea 😀👍🏼
:-) *
You have no idea mate, but you do me the world of good- thanks pal.
Well done mate,I'm homeless and have been living out 33yrs,I'm impressed with ya kit bag,tarp and bivvy is the one,I've got army basher,heavy but never let me down,winter challenges the soul but I never complained my home's on ma back,rain macks always pose a problem but thats an ongoing hassle,sawyer squeeze and twig stove has made life easier,anyway woffling on ,keep vids coming,cheers!!!.🌈🤸🤸🌞🌜🇬🇧
Hi Hazy, I’d love to see you walk The Camino from Saint Jean Pied de Porte over the Pyrenees to Finisterre then North to Muxia and back to finish in Santiago. I struggled over it in 2018 but you’d piss it 👍
Did the SDW in 1982. With a pack pony carrying all my gear. Happy memories! Thank you for these cracking videos - makes me want to do another hike - carrying my gear myself!
👍🏻🙂
Paul, I love your content, you are an inspiration. thanks for giving your time.
Pemblokeshire Coastal Path (see what I did there Hazo) has your name all over it - 186 miles of coastal beauty and we know you like a nice coast!! Sound effort on the SDW - so far!!
🤣🤣🤣 absolutely decked at the cow pat and ghost cows moooowahhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
northern monk in morisson ,,a good or bad thing ? haze said he drinks this coz it's not in supermarkets ,,
Another cracking video as always. Solution to the gator problem I learnt some years ago doing my ML, replace them with curtain wires/springs, you know, like your mum used to hang the net curtains on. 😉
38 miles?
If I cycle 38 miles I think I ve done well 😄
I had a bad experience in the 1970s with Mugwort! While I was asleep a few plants surrounded me and threatened me to grow an Agamemnon beard or I would be for it! Sometimes I shave it off in summer, but tend to keep away from Daisy fields, until it has grown back!
Good job you didn't swim in our river it's nasty, about 7ft deep straight off bank, tidal and just up from Upper Beeding is sewage works, paddle in it sometimes ,it's got a right tidal flow😂
The ghosts of cows joke was actually 10/10 laugh out loud
I think the birds (posh chickens!) were guinea fowl - the term came to mind so I googled it and they look right.
Another great one as always. Needed this today. Thank you my friend.
Eh up Hazy, that's funny you went past my bivi tree😁✌🍻 all best Willston Velo
The sun always shines down here in t'south, Hazey lad. That's why the beer is so bloody expensive, to keep the rabble away 😁
Not many streams or ponds on the downs, due to them being made of porous chalk. The ones there are, generally dry out in summer.
Crack on!
How about the Southern Upland Way in Scottishland! It's epic af and nowhere near as busy as the others in Scotland. Basically a coast to coast walk through hills and forests
This!
Super deee duper as always…. Have you looked at the ‘Southern Upland Way’ 200 miles coast to coast just over the border in scottyland….
Nothing wrong with low hanging comedy fruit Lol. Pretty sure the cow was thinking outside the box. Great Vlog, thanks.
Medic! few electrolites and perhaps a cuddle - that'll sort 'em out! 🤣🤣🤣 Total classic Hazy! 👨⚕🐍
Gaiter straps breaking. I had this issue for a while until I started using my Swazi puttys, they don't have a strap at all but still stay in place, I do wear boots though so that may help. I noticed the Swazi Ali Gaitors use a steel cable but they're a bit brutal looking, maybe somewhere on tinternet there's steel gaiter straps. Hope this helps you or someone out.
👍
Awesome mate. Sleeping under the stars on glorious summer nights 👌🏻. I was right there with ya!….in a separate sleeping bag of course 😅
Bramble vodka slushy... Great video again thanks for sharing 👍😀
Great stuff, Devi’s dyke is my favourite an the WHA on Truly hill.. been their many a time….)
Just found your channel loving it buddy...have a look for gator straps on ebay genuine army ones arebthe beat..
Man from your steak challenge however long ago that was iv been watching you man. Just wanted u to know man . From your northern mounk drip till you're east to west trip man . You have NO idea how much you and your challenge means to me man. Thank you man. 🤙
Much love mate 🥰
@@HazeOutdoors 🤙
Them birds not the hiking ones the chicken type were guinea fowl 🍻
Your small knife looks fine...better than Amazon. It has an MC logo. I'm off to search it out!
Joey D would have said Pat on the back.......Just saying
Just replace those gaiter straps with a bit of dyneema cord. I use the same gaiters but with dyneema, it lasts ages even over sharp rocks.
There're so many places down south that look like yorkshire or even scotland! I won't stand for this southern slander 😤
Howl goo! Another superb vid mate, definitely cant do you for it.
Re gaiters ... Have you tried the steel stranded dyneema used on hammocks
Man-your really struggling in the heat with cow poo jokes….
If you are saying the south is as good as Yorkshire you need a few pints of Northern Monk.
This was a epic watch love the cow jokes and them charity people are ace hope they made it
Much love ❤️ from Wigan Hazey, therapeutic as ever,can’t wait for the next one.👍
And much more love from Wigan here too
I know you joked about having a wee umbrella on your hat.. it would look a bit floaty granted but not a terrible plan. Not saying folk are trying to pee on you.
❤️😎👍
❤️
Have one 🍺
Have one 🍺
You are a legend ❤
Would love to do this! Probably too cold now
Still plenty warm enough down south if you go now. Wet though.
@@ashmaybe9634 Gearing up for June this year, just got my lone peak 7's can't wait
15:11 thats how i feel here, not bothered about the real ale, down to the local beach in Los Cristianos for a large local lager in a frozen glass for €1.50
Have you tried a coffee Guinness yet Hazey ? Good stuff.
