The South Downs Way is a long distance footpath and bridleway running along the South Downs in southern England. The trail runs for 100 miles (160 km) from Winchester in Hampshire to Eastbourne in East Sussex, with about 4,150 meters of ascent and descent. Join me as I witness some beautiful skies, meet some inspirational people and try to navigate yet another heatwave.

    Another brilliant series Hazey. It looks like you were on the cycle route and not the walking route towards the end as you missed by far the most stunning part of the walk - the Seven Sisters Country Park, which is the last 8-10 miles to Eastbourne from memory. You'll have to do it again, if you get those sunsets over the Seven Sisters it’s as good as anything you will see in a Yorkshire 😉

Each one I crawled up i counted and got to 7 and there were a few more I was like what the hell! lol but the scenery and the sunset was absolutely stunning so all was good.. Agree with Mr Haze himself, the SDW grew on me and got better and better as I reached Eastbourne.. pushed myself a little hard doing it in 4 days but enjoyed the challenge despite my ‘trotters’ feeling otherwise.. cycling it must be really cool too..

My noggin is absolutely smashed to pieces and you’re helping put it back together, into perspective and making me realise what I need to do to fix myself. Now I have this freedom to get out there and do what I love, your videos have made me realise days and weeks in the hills and mountains will help me find inner peace.

I discovered and settled in East Sussex 3-4 years ago, (don't know why it took me so long!) and the scenery, dare I say it, packs a punch to rival that of the moors. Even more so if you head north a bit to the High Weald which I live in/on. Love your observational humour and amazing down to earth warm nature. Top man, never stop, your tribe loves you.
