Once again a great video Marek. Just one thing, that is the M3 at the beginning part when they cut through Twyford Down to make that motorway. I remember it so well as there was a guy called Swampy who refused to come down out of this tree thus blocking the contractors way. It made the local news and went on for weeks and weeks.

He's only gone and started it! Yes Marek! As soon as you said a storm was coming I hovered over a random part of the time bar at the base of the screen - toward the end, hoping to see black skies and a disgruntled Marek... I was not disappointed: 6:10 selected and there's Marek with a screwed up face in his waterproof. Perfect bait for me to look forward to later in the video! Anyone who's watched a few cool dudes videos before will know a 2.25 mph walking speed is a lofty achievement for Marek... the overtake was therefore an inevitability!

@cdwc

I downloaded a GPX file and bought a Viewranger App. It cost £20 for the year but definitely worth it. You just import the files and then on your phone screen you can zoom in on the map, there's an arrow which points in the direction you need to walk. I think it's brilliant. I think Ordinance Survey also do one.

Interesting that someone suggested you have some sort of lifetime walking limit.
