    No one had ever, ever walked 22.59 miles in a day... until now! That radio voice was spot on... it made me produced a farting noise with my mouth trying to cancel a laugh, and now my socially distanced office thinks I'm even weirder than before. Earned that pizza and coke Mr Larwood! :)

    Longest walk was 26 miles home when my car got stuck in snow. One stop at Tesco Express for a bag full of calories and another at a pub for a couple of pints. Made it back home by 2 a.m. with some big blisters.

    Well done for breaking your own personal record! This has been the best video of your series so far. When you said' Truleigh Hill Radio Station'... I knew what was coming and it did not disappoint! I'm surprised you didn't have anything to say about the pile of skulls beneath the Meridian Point sign. I found that descent along "ocean drive" to be particularly horrible on my trek.
    Looking forward to Day 6. I'm glad you didn't attempt it in for days, or there wouldn't be as many videos. ;-) All the best.
    My personal record is still 30 miles along the West Mendip Way. I normally do it once a year... But haven't even thought about trying to beat it.

    Really impressive mate! And always really enjoyable to watch. My record is 18 miles with only a 10kg pack and I tore my meniscus doing it, so I'm in pain at the mere thought of you having to carry on the next day after that. Fantastic job

    • @cdwc

    The longest I have ever walked was last weekend when I walked 17.9 miles from Southease to Eastbourne along the South Downs Way. I’ve only done that bit so far, as part of a walk from my house in Tooting (south London) to Eastbourne. I’m planning on doing the whole south Downs Way in the near future. Anyway, I’m really looking forward to seeing you do the last 17.9 miles to Eastbourne Marek. Stay cool.

    I just translated your walk into Australian. 22.6 miles is 36.4 km. That’s quite a lot. Well done. Also what are downs? I don’t know what that a down is? Are there North Ups or are they all downs? Are there east and west downs? Sounds a bit depressing if they are all down. Also why are they all downs when clearly they are ups and downs and over there’s? Don’t you think Down is a weird spelling of a word. Doone is how you say it. I say it Doun.

    One day in the mid 1980s, my boss forgot to pick me up from work and take me home, so rather than bother my parents, I walked 15+ miles from Cwmcarn to my home in Pillgwenlly in Newport. In the dark in wellies and a boiler suit 😂
    But I was in my teens, fit and had 50p for a bag of chips in Risca, so why the heck not, right? 😊

    Although you bemoan walking at the speed you do, remember;
    You are also making a film, map-reading and navigating, viewing the horizon and fighting off herds of marauding cattle. So 2.2MPH is not so bad after all. Most folk perambulate between 2.5 & 3 MPH. To go faster might mean missing something interesting and would require you to have a much faster piece of music as your mind-worm.
    I love your vids, keep it up. If there was an option to PayPal I would join the prestigious Cool Dudes' Walking Club but I hate digital transfers with a passion. Give me an option and I will be there.
