Thank you so much, Chris! Otto is really enjoying himself and loves exploring and getting all the treats 😍 I really love the open space, but it's also very exposed in every weather 😅

😱🤨Step off the path and you'll die. England welcomes you! P'raps the Tourist Board and the Ministry of Defence need to have a conversation. 😮I just wouldn't have expected the lack of water sources in the first 30 miles. Hoping you got through in the dry. It looks glorious, so far. Thanks for sharing.

Hahahahaha, only really noticed the sign when editing the footage 😆🤣 I think there are a couple of small water sources and some a few hundred yards of the path, but since it was so unusually dry back then, all of them (except for one but even that was only a trickle) had dried up.

once again another lovely video Elli, just wondering what was in that 1k meal you had, as always looking forward to your next adventure. 😊

It was one of those dehydrated meals, I think from Expedition Foods. They have a couple of vegan ones that have 1000kcal weighing only 180g. Thank you so much :)

More lovely scenery, thank you Elli! I'm sitting at my computer at work and, thanks to your splendid photography, it is so refreshing to be able to see the Pennine Way for a little while, and remind myself there really is a world out there to go and explore. I know you've only just started on the Pennine Way but I think that already you have added that trail to my retirement to-do list, as well as the others in previous videos. Your videos are such a great advertisement for hiking and "the great outdoors" generally. Just think: suppose your videos encourage just 100 people to walk one or more of these trails who otherwise would not have done. That is a huge boost to their health and also to the local economy; if they each spent £500 on food, accommodation etc., that's £50,000 to B&Bs, etc. Well done (hotels and other businesses should be sponsoring you!). Hot and sunny - that looks like June to me, as it's rained a lot since. If that was two months ago, you must be getting towards the end of your walk by now - keep going Elli!

Thank you so much, Nick for always taking the time to write such kind, encouraging comments! I really appreciate these so much, they always make my day 😍 I'm really happy thinking that people like my videos and find them helpful and are inspired to go out hiking themselves. The Pennine Way is really stunning and has some beautiful parts but also some parts that are a bit bleak or boring. But I guess that's all part of the trail :) I'm really glad I did it! Ps: Yes, you're right - that was in June and I'm in fact nearing the end 😅🫢

Lovely video thanks Ellie. Where are you from?

Hi Eli, I’m following with interest as I’m hiking cape wrath to Lands end but in sections. I also enjoyed camping in the Garden there. I think section to Bellingham was my favourite part of the Penine way. ATB 🍻

Thank you so much! It's really a special place the Forest View Inn, isn't it? That sounds like a great adventure too, how far you come so far?

@@ellihikes I have recently retired so I did the cape wrath trail 14 years ago and the Penine way more recently and then decided to start linking things up so apart from another 7 days on the SNT through the Cairngorms I have got as far south as my home town Leicester. I shall then use the McMillan way to north Devon but probably next year now. You take care and best wishes. 🙏👍

Hi, nice to See you again. Hope you're getting fixed the microphone! By the way: Drinking a pint after hiking so far and long is not the worst someone can do! 😊

Thoroughly enjoying your videos , you and Otto look very happy, will the different camping laws between Scotland and England affect your trip in any way ? Scotland you can wild camp because of the right to roam law but in England you need to seek permission from the land owner.

Aww, thank you so much! Yes, it was definitely a bit harder in England. But so far, I didn't have any problems when wildcamping, of course following the 'LNT' principles as well as 'pitch late, leave early'. But on bigger trails like the PW, there are a lot of inexpensive campsites, so I ended up pitching there quite often, especially if I wanted a rest and pitch the tent early :)

Good luck, I’m not far from Middleton Teasdale if you need any help or any supplies dropping off 🐕⛺️

Thank you so much for the lovely offer 😍 The video is a bit behind as I'm hiking faster than I can edit, so I've already finished the PW 😊

Hi Ellie and Otto, I know I said it last time but it's official now so welcome to England. I've been telling people I know all about you and your journey across Great Britain and they all say the same thing Wow that bloody amazing. I have to ask one thing, what is that tattoo on the bottom of your right leg I've never noticed it before but I spotted it in this video. I'm going to hazard a guess at something to do with Trekking. Keep safe and well on your travels and I'm looking forward to seeing you next video. 😜👍

Aww, that's so kind - thank you so much 🤗😊😊 this really means a lot! Yes, you're right 😅 it's a hiking tattoo showing Otto and me hiking into the mountains with our little tent pitched on the side in some woodlands 💚
