Hi there. Great watching yr walk along the SWCP. I did it in 2007. I had to do this stage in two parts. Collapsed with 5 miles to go and only the amazing generosity of someone I met who put me up for the night helped me recover properly. So many great memories lol well in hindsight. Cheers David

Thanks. Its always better in hindsight. Really enjoyed it and looking forward to getting back there.

I am watching this again and loving it. Sitting here in Norway longing for the South West Coast Path. This stretch was one of our walks in 2017. The goal this year was the path around the Lizard. Had to postpone it to June 2021. Hopefully we will be able to do it then 😊 Your videos are great 😊

Definitely one of the toughest sections. Thanks for commenting.

Sorry to correct ya but you missed out hill no. 5. You went from 1-4 then 6 onwards. So there are 8 altogether. Still you made it and thats a celebration in its self

Hi, I have enjoyed your videos very much, and have watched all of your south west coastal path ones. Which hiking stick do you recommend to take along? I'll be 61 in June when I attempt this part of the path, so feel I need a bit of help lol

Thanks for watching glad you have enjoyed them more to come this summer. I don't claim to be an expert on poles watch a few you tube vids of reviews... Ultimately a cheap one does the same jobs as an expensive one you start paying more for the following features: 1. Materials: aluminium is lighter and strong. Carbon fibre is lighter still but often shatters if you take a spill. 2. Locking mechanisms; standard is the unscrew method. Can be tricky in the wet or if your grip is not great. Locking clips cost a bit more but make life easier. 3. Foldability; do you want the 3 section poles that fold up smaller to go in a bag or side pocket? 4. Grips. Lots prefer the feel of a cork grip over a plastic grip. Brands; the big ones like lekki or black diamond are expensive but offer life time warranties. If you do a lot of walking this can work out cheaper in the long term as some companies will replace tips for free when they wear out. Lenght; are you really tall or using it as part of a tent/tarp set up? If so you may want an extra long pole. Happy hiking!
