    The noise you heard and weren't sure what it was, was a pheasant calling! Just finished the Cotswold Way three weeks ago and we did it in nine days like you - It is so lovely watching you go through the landscape and to compare your experiences to ours - not too different, but we are twice your age and carried our own bags, so it was a bit tougher on the feet :-)). Well done guys! xxx

    Like many others, I came across your ‘Day 1’ quite by chance & watched your first 6 days thereafter. The videos are so well put together with a great balance of the physical efforts of the trail, the ever changing scenery, the atmosphere & culture you absorb so readily. Your videos are joy to watch so & you are a great couple. Awaiting Days 8&9 now. Best wishes from Cheshire.

    Enjoying your videos. I may do this walk now. If you enjoyed this walk then I heartily recommend Wainwright's Coast to Coast ( with rest days!). It chimed with me when you said 'it reset your soul' as I have always found long distance walks wonderfully focus you in the 'now' and make you forget other less important stuff.

    Thanks for walking the beautiful Cotswold way, saves me doing it🫢 I am surprised you haven't used a pair of hiking poles. They would of have spread the load and impacted less on your hips and knees.

      I hate hiking poles. I carried a pair all the way up Kilimanjaro and down again having used them for about an hour. I prefer my hands free. I've trekked in many places in the world, and you don't see locals using them in the Himalayas, Ethiopia, Cost Rica, Turkey, Andes in some very mountainous places. Only in a few places in Europe do some locals use them. You don't carry your load on the arms, the legs do 95% of that. Balance is maybe the only reason.
