The encounter with the sheep was hilarious. They are usually quite timid, but if walkers feed them they lose their fear, which isn’t always a good thing.

@Off.Day.Adventures 11 месяцев назад

We were nervous, ha! They weren't scared at all!

@sirjonty18 11 месяцев назад

I walked the cotswold way 12 years ago, you guys have just made me plan for next year. We are blessed to have beautiful countryside here in the UK, many thanks guys.

Brilliant, congratulations….you managed to avoid the Bull and those killer sheep !! You’re a charming, engaging and lovely couple. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us

There's something cool about seeing your country through the eyes of tourists; things and views that you can tend to take for granted being born here (like the "every fence is different" comment!) Love the series, looking forward to more!

Rach I recognise that walk and sympathise. I've walked like that too. Once, after Day 3 of a long hike in Wales, we stayed at a very old pub. After a short lie down, I tried to walk to the bathroom, it was so hard, felt like I was walking uphill. It turned out that the floors were uneven and indeed sloped upwards from the bed to the bathroom. I fell asleep right over my supper plate that night. You guys did so well, I'm enjoying this series of yours in my home in the Cotswolds.

@Off.Day.Adventures 9 месяцев назад

Yes! It was after the 3rd day of walking that it got so hard! There were many evenings I felt like sleeping without dinner. Thanks for watching! We loved it, hope to do it again one day!

@thewealduk9802 11 месяцев назад

I want to walk the Cotswolds Way so your video's are really interesting. Also, you are a lovely couple, full of joy and genuine appreciation for another country. I look forward to seeing the rest of your adventures.

@Off.Day.Adventures 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! And thank you for saying that, we loved it. Can't wait to visit again. More videos SOON!

@nevillemason6791 7 месяцев назад

The setting sun at The Rising Sun. Now how apt is that? I think I'd tend to fall asleep before the food arrived after expending so much energy. It's being very optimistic to tackle 100+ miles of hiking without building up to it. Well done!

@kennethfishwick4061 11 месяцев назад

I'm very much enjoying your cotswold walk. I walked the Cotswold Way forty years ago, it was my first long distance walk. My friend and I had arranged a B & B in Stanton for the first night and when we arrived in our room my friend collapsed on the bed exhausted. He hadn't prepared and only lasted two and a half days so I had to complete the walk on my own. I hope you two manage better.

@Off.Day.Adventures 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for watching! We collapsed many times, ha!

Ive hiked and wild camped all over the UK. The peak district is my absolute favorite. My tips if you want them,good hiking boots make all the difference, a very thin pair of cotton socks under pure wool socks make sure your feet stand up to the miles. A cold soak for your feet in a river or stream is fabulous. Steep uphill sections very little steps will make it not such a struggle, literally one foot step overlapping another. Normal steps will hike up your heart rate and tire you out. Looking forward to seeing your next videos. Happy trails.

Very well done.I was there in september with freak temperatures in the sapping mid to high 80s.I felt sorry for Americans on trail staying in pubs and hotels with no air con.I use vaseline on my feet to prevent blisters.If that fails then on go the Compeed plasters....problem solved.That bench at the top of the steep climb sure get's some use.Hayles Fruit farm is a godsend for hikers.I camped there.Really enjoyed your vlog.

@samuelbarrett9403 6 месяцев назад

The Cotswolds in Summer quite often catches out American’s as they hear the myths about our Summers being cold and grey! Most if the time our summers down here are sunny and very warm.

Further to my post earlier today, I have four questions about your hike: How did you get to Chipping Campden? What did you shoot the videos on, and why are some images reversed? Have you ever tried geocaching? I really think you'd enjoy an adventure on a narrowboat on England's canal system - life at 4 mph and fantastic pubs! Failing that, you could have a go walking The Monarch's Way from Worcester to Shoreham - it's only 625 miles!

@Off.Day.Adventures 14 дней назад

You bet! 1) we landed in London, took a bus to Oxford, stayed there overnight, then took a taxi to Chipping Campden. 2) we filmed everything on my iPhone. Some of the shots are reversed because we used the camera on the front and back, good eye! 3) we haven’t! 4) we want to narrowboat next! We talk about doing that next in one of our recent videos! Thank you for the questions!

@keefsmiff 10 месяцев назад

That was great ..had to laugh at you walking right at the end though 🤣

@garylancaster8612 10 месяцев назад

As beautiful as it is, long distance walking is always tough. I can relate guys. I'm amused though by two Floridians who think England is too hot. 😂 I would never have imagined that any people from Florida would be hot here!

@thegroovetube3247 9 месяцев назад

I'm guessing that they'd normally be leaving air-conditioned buildings and getting into air-conditioned cars. Not spending hours out in the sun walking up and down hills day after day.

I had no idea that America doesn't have stinging nettles! I guess you guys got all the bears, wolves, and most of the snakes instead 😂

Two more famous walks are in Yorkshire. Three Peaks (about 22 miles). The challenge is to complete it in 12 hours. The Lyke Wake Walk, on the North Yorkshire moors (around 42 miles). 24 hours is the challenge, but I'm not a very good walker and my best was around 16 hours. Enjoyed all your videos.

With stinging nettles, you can put hand sanitiser on the sting and it will take the pain away

England, spesh southern England gets warm, around 90F- 100F in summer, we endure it as we have NO AIR CON, it’s the nome but we are prepared

@samuelbarrett9403 6 месяцев назад

So true, most ignorant people never like to admit just how warm and sunny it is down here in Summer! Northern England and Scotland/Wales/Ireland is the opposite to year and. I h cooler and cloudier in Summer than Southern England.

@nevillemason6791 3 месяца назад

@@samuelbarrett9403 What utter and total nonsense (or plain wishful thinking!) to say the norm is 90 - 100F in summer in southern England. The average temperature difference in summer between Rochdale (9 miles north of Manchester) and Bath is all of 2 degrees C. Below are the average minimum/maximum temperatures (from The Met. Office): Bath: June 10.6 - 20.0C, July 12.7 - 21.8C, August 12.6 - 21.6C Rochdale: June 10.1 - 18.2C, July 11.9 - 20.0C, August 11.8 - 19.6C Sure there's occasional heat waves that reach 90+F for a few days but they affect most of the country. It can't be claimed just as a southern England occurrence.

@@nevillemason6791 I have lived in Manchester the amount of. Loud in the Summer compared to the South is mental! Don’t get butthurt over the North West’s horrendous Summers they are what they are! To say think they are anything like our Sun era down here is delusional!

@maxmoore9955 10 месяцев назад

Another outstanding walk is the Coast to Coast walk .Same thing you can get your Luggage transported to your next B&B or hotel .starting at St Bees on the West Coast ending at Robin Hoods Bay on the East Coast .It is alot more Rugged and Higher .But the scenery is fantastic. I suggest Training before you attempt.

How long does it take? We’d definitely train for that one 😅

Stinging Nettles, the enemy of the hiker (especially if you're wearing shorts!) 😂

@seanmc1351 10 месяцев назад

the stinging nettles, back in the 70's, w used to holiday in a stately home, no were not rich lol, is was a time when most people had holidays in the UK, before the holidays to europe came along, one of our friends on holiday, no top fell off a wall into a whole patch of them, also for you two guys, there is another plant looks exactly the same, i believe if it has white flowers they dont sting, if i remembe right, nest to nettles, was always said to be doc leaves, your supposed to rub the leaves on the sting, never worked, old wives tail i guess

@trevorthorley5038 9 месяцев назад

@robertknight2556 10 месяцев назад

After watching this for twelve minutes, I gave up because not once during that time did you refer to the exquisite landscape you were passing through, but just about blisters and how hot you were and shots of your wonderful selves.

@johnclements6614 10 месяцев назад

They certainly did comment on the views, maybe latter.

@AM-dz2sh 10 месяцев назад

This is their 2nd day - I bet it was tough on their feet! They certainly did talk about the views in the first video.

@thegroovetube3247 9 месяцев назад

Strange that you watched for a very specific 12 minutes ... and they mention the views in the 13th minute. It takes a special kind of curmudgeon to watch an uplifting video like this and then spend time posting a miserable comment.

@robertknight2556 9 месяцев назад

@@thegroovetube3247 ...There's no mystery to it; I just stopped at 12 minutes (whereas you actually went to the trouble of timing their praise at 13 minutes). I grant that I can be a curmudgeon (though not of any special sort) from time to time, albeit I'm not essentially miserable. Rachel (of the channel) has got back to me, and that was good.
