Tintern Abbey is so lovely! Pity about the closed paths; contractors and councils don't realise how difficult it is for walkers to suddenly find a path is closed. I remember this section well, it was here that I finally convinced my dad that walking poles were useful, after he slithered around in a load of mud! After that he was never without them.
It's great seeing how others see and appreciate our incredible countryside. The Black Mountains are about 5 miles from my back door in Herefordshire and I'm up there most weekends either hiking or Mountain biking, and if you ever get the chance again, hiring a Canoe and packing it with your camping gear for a multi day trip from the foot of the Black Mountains at Glasbury/Hay on Wye, through Herefordshire and the Wye Valley and down to Monmouth in the Summer months, is probably one of the best and most picturesque trips you can do in the UK in a canoe. 🙂
That's such a beautiful area, you're very lucky :) I've never done a camping trip with a canoe before, but that's definitely on my list - sp keeping that in mind :) Thank you so much for your feedback!
once again a very enjoyable video, nice weather for a change, Otto looked a bit weary with those horses, those chips sure looked delicious, as always looking forward to your next adventure. 😊
I really enjoy your journey through all the different landscapes you encounter on this epic walking adventure . I found your You Tube videos first when you reachedThe Pennine Way so now I got to go back to the starting point. Would be a shame to miss out on any footage. Take care🌸Greetings from Norway
Thank you so much, that means a lot and I'm so happy that you're enjoying the videos. There are more incredible landscapes coming up - probably some of my favorite parts :)
Hi Elli and Otto. Well I'm not going to say rest your back and I'm not gonna say take care, because I know you've already finished and you're probably at home with your feet up and a nice cup of coffee planning your next adventure. However another great video with some beautiful views. I'm still very impressed at how far you walked. As for that tunnel I've never seen or even heard about it before, so very interesting. ✌️😋
Thank you so much, George! Luckily, the pain just went away as sudden as it came up - although I did a lot of stretching, so that probably helped too :) Yes, I'm already planning my next hikes (in the UK, of course ;)). My trail "bucket list" just got longer this year, hahaha :)
Another great video Elli, loved the moment with Otto and the little pony, he's such a good dog. Also great to see your boyfriend spending time with you both, bet he will miss you both but also the beautiful places. Nice one toppers take care 👍
Thank you so much :) Yes, the moment with the pony was magical :) It was very young and so interested in Otto and at some point their noses touched for a second which was the sweetest thing ever 😇
You may have heard by now that they've made a film of Raynor Win's The Salt Path. She's played by Gillian Anderson. It will be coming out in April, but there's already a trailer you can find on here.
@@ellihikes Ever read Mark Wallington's 500 Mile Walkies? It's about his walking of the South West Coast Path in 1982, accompanied by a city mongrel. It's more light hearted than the Raynor Win.
Hi there Ellie I love your videos I did try to send you a Tip 2 times wasn't able to send .I thought it would be easy its not easy for me I'm not too good on computer. I will ask someone in my house later today good luck with your walking stay safe

That's so true - most of the time it's quite a bit of a hassle when a path is closed! I loved the Wye Valley and Tintern Abbey, it's so stunning :)

So pleased you got good weather for the best bit, Elli. The Wye Valley is special 😊
I was honestly so happy when it finally stopped raining :) So true, the Wye Valley is beautiful :)
once again a very enjoyable video, nice weather for a change, Otto looked a bit weary with those horses, those chips sure looked delicious, as always looking forward to your next adventure. 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words, that really means a lot :) He was interested, but got a bit anxious when they came closer :)

@@ellihikes Looking forward to your walk along The SWCP . I have walked some legs of this path and found it breathtakingly beautiful🌸
