It's been great watching the first three videos straight through: one gets a real sense of a journey. Highly compacted, of course, but it brings out the contrasts in landscapes. Alan's piece to camera was very good, but also brought home how remarkable it is that he's been able to do this. A fine thing indeed. (Simon, LDWA)
Thank you for. Your feedback Simon. You know that I respect and admire your creativity. We've really tried to encapsulate and highlight that life can go on after such a traumatic experience for those who are lucky to survive.
Great video folks - well done on the journey so far. I was always told there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing/preparation.....I also enjoyed the busted moment. It hasn't happened to me so far, but I live in fear!
Cheers Stuart. Isn't that the truth regarding the clothing! The variations in weather have made the journey memorable and the way that we have had to manage our wet equipment and clothing is something that we're proud of. Yep, being busted in hindsight was ok. It could have been a lot worse!!
I am on catch up here sorry.. I actually watched this at the time but for some reason did not make comment... so I have watched again (get that viewing time up) and will now make sure to leave a comment...lol. One of the things I have wondered Dave is knowing how much walking you actually do arouind the country and abroad but how much of this trail was new to yourself - I am sure there were bits you had covetred on 100s or trail walking but surely there must have been sections new I expect? Anyway, lovely to see parts of the country I will probably never visit - was interested how many standing stones you came across on parts of this video. atb Al
In Cornwall, we saw many standing stones and it reminded me of Pembrokeshire in that regard. All of the route until Warminster was new to me. I'd walked the Ridgeway National Trail before and some of the Icknield Way. I'd been to the Knettishsll Heath area but a lot of this route was new to me.

Apologies for the error relating to the crossing of the M4. The text said M5 and I missed that when checking the video!!
