Pembrokeshire Coast Path Video
Sunday 04 November 2018
In August 2018, Susan and I spent two weeks walking the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. We have created this short video to summarise our trip to this fantastic area of Wales.
Gear Review – 5 Days Backpacking the Isle of Wight Coast Path
Saturday 02 September 2017
Last month, Susan and I hiked the 65 Mile long Isle of Wight Coast Path over five days and four nights. We camped on three of the nights and stayed in a hotel for one after an equipment failure. We carried everything we needed with us and only purchased food along the trail.
Stour Valley Walk – Canterbury to Sandwich
Monday 28 August 2017
I left the Kipps hostel at around 8:00 am. The sun was already shining and it looked like it was going to be another very hot day. With another 20 miles to go to get to Sandwich, I had made sure my water bottle was full but in my rush to leave early I forgot to take my malt loaf from the fridge in the kitchen.
Stour Valley Walk – Ashford to Canterbury
Sunday 27 August 2017
I knew this would be a big day and so I made an early start and headed back to Ashford International Station and back on the Stour Valley Walk path. It followed the river briefly before having to walk along the A292 before taking an alley up and over the M20 but you eventually leave the urban area behind and hit the country lanes and fields.
Stour Valley Walk – Lenham to Ashford
Saturday 26 August 2017
Having packed my rucksack, boots and poles in my car I drove to Lenham and found a parking spot just down the road from St Mary’s Church. The weather was warm and sunny and it looked like it might be a hot day ahead.
Stour Valley Walk – Planning
Friday 25 August 2017
Susan is away this bank holiday weekend and so I am on my own. Wanting to avoid the crowds and, more importantly, the chaos and stress of the motorways and trains out of London I have opted for the Stour Valley Walk. No. I had never heard of it either but it seems possible and is in completely the opposite direction to all the chaos.
Isle of Wight Coast Path – Day Five
Tuesday 08 August 2017
After a good night’s sleep at the hotel and porridge pots for breakfast, we ventured out on to the seafront at Sandown. It was blustery and the clouds in the sky were promising rain. We only had 11.5 miles to cover today but we didn’t want all of them to be in the rain.
Isle of Wight Coast Path – Day Four
Monday 07 August 2017
After a difficult night’s sleep we awoke to a cloudier, chillier morning than the day before. My Exped sleeping mat had developed a fault the evening before which meant I had to sleep lopsided all night and there was no possibility fixing it. Over breakfast we discussed the possibility of staying the night in an hotel rather than the planned wild camp.
Isle of Wight Coast Path – Day Three
Sunday 06 August 2017
We awoke to a glorious, sunny morning and after breakfast, I headed into Freshwater to buy some lunch and dinner for the day ahead while Susan packed up the tent.
