Thanks so my and glad you enjoyed them. I need to get back on my long distance hikes as really miss them and as I’ve had a 4mth break from hiking and YT I need to start them again quickly whilst the weather should be good

Great effort Kris. The challenge is now in to do it in 2 days. Boom 💥 lol

Haha thank you but trust me…3 days was waaaaaay too quick as it is 😂😂

The daily release is perfect. Absolutely agree that it's better to watch them daily. I think most people do them weekly simply because of the amount of editing.

Thanks for filming your adventure, I’m hoping to do this route this summer so I’m watching quite a lot of these videos at the moment and yours is one of the best. Your energy and humour really comes through the camera and you make it very watchable I have subscribed and will be watching your coast to coast series also!😊

Aah brilliant cheers for that Josh really glad you liked the video. It was tough over that many days but it’s a great hike and really enjoyed this one you’ll love it, well worth doing. The coast to coast too is a brilliant hike, my fave to date. I fancy doing it again maybe this year myself if I get the chance as it’s a cracker

Excellent series Kris! Just finished watching it after your recommendation 👍 Definitely on my to do list, but certainly won't be doing it in three days! 😂

Glad you enjoyed it Adam. Honestly it’s a cracking route I really recommend it. 4-5 days would be ideal for this. Let me know if you decide to tackle it. If you find me on Strava I have the route plotted on there if you want it. On my main Strava this will be 9&3 route for each day. But…search for my name as I have a 2nd Strava just for my long distance hikes…only a few on there but will be a lot more. Basically I merge them into one so you have w the full route as one. You’ll find that, the dales way and also the coast to coast on there.

Just binge watched this and the Dales Way. I'm off on the Dales Way next week. Thanks for the entertainment! There's a mass of content on hiking and outdoors. You have a great manner that makes you want to watch, with right amount of humour. Good luck with the channel 👍

Walked this 25 years ago! Thoroughly enjoyed your vlogs, relived memories, great fun watching as joints don't entertain that much use these days. Thanks for your time in putting these vlogs together and I hope you find a job soon. Good luck! ❤

Brilliant. These vids were up there with the Coast to Coast ones, if not better. You look like you have lost quite a bit of weight since I last saw you, which isn't surprising doing 40-50k walks in a day! The vids are getting more polished as well.

@jonathanhaynes6542 It’s a great think to have the huts then isn’t it as sounds like it really helped. It was really windy when I was up there too although weather wise quite nice. Imagine it gets quite brutal. Thanks about the C2C too. It was my first ever long distance hike and certainly was tough but honestly I have really fond memories of the hike. I’d recommend it to anyone it’s awesome. It’s my favourite hike I’ve done and that even includes Kilimanjaro. If you did ever decide to do it, my only advice is take your time. Everyone asks how quick you’ve done it but anyone who’s done the C2C like me knows it’s not about that. I would say 13-14 days is ideal and gives you time to appreciate the hike and actually enjoy it.

Great achievement doing in in 3 days, we plan to do it next May, but we plan a few more days to do it ;). Wanda & Erik from Belgium.

Just found your channel Kris. Well done mate! Cracking effort. Did it in 4 earlier this month with 2 wild camps and the Caldbeck campsite.
