@HikingWithMartin 3 года назад

this is definitely some of the nicest scenery for walking in ive seen in a while, i cant wait to have a go at this, seems much quieter than the south downs as well, i love all the forest walking and then the views are looking more interesting less farmland etc

@cdwc 3 года назад

I think this is a good alternative to summer hiking the South Downs. Only bad side is there are not any water taps.

@grahamcope2196 3 года назад

Well done on completing this stage with the wonky knee, that beer was well deserved. Glad you didn't get your lardie stuck in the kissing gate although that would have made for an excellent episode in itself. Cheers CD#247

I would probably still be there now. Although I may have lost enough weight to squeeze through.

@evegasse6999 3 года назад

Hey now! Those birds at the start were just expressing themselves! Sorry you hurt your knee! My new job is very physical and it's really taking a toll on my walks because I'm always extremely sore and since I work night shifts, I wake up at noon and by that time the trails are full of people (I like walking early in the morning!) Also I talk to birds in front of people all the time and if it means strangers will think I'm crazy and not talk to me, I consider it a bonus!

@cdwc 3 года назад

That is a shame about the night shifts. I used to do them in twenties for a while. I found them exhausting.

Thanks Marek, this is a great little series! Your editing is getting very swish. The Attenborough's and Packham's of this world would never pepper their docs with funny place names or interactive games featuring naive art, and perhaps that will be their downfall.

Nooo. I’m finally out of the Serpent Challenge as I chose the yummy, and seemingly harmless, pink marshmallow snake. Still, this is a brilliant mini series and I’m looking forward to the finale. Petworth looks stunning but those tiny Kissing Gates are bound to entrap me for eternity if I tried to pass through them

@cdwc 3 года назад

Over one million people die each year at those Petworth kissing gates.

Black Down is probably the most scenic, but Tullecombe Forest was great as was Midhurst Common on the last day.

I’m sorry about your knee. That’s miserable. Get some massage cream called fisiocrem. Pronounced physio cream. It has arnica in it which numbs it and the pain will go away. 🙂

@petergilbert7106 3 года назад

I've only watched 2:34 of this so far, but I'm concerned about the knee injury, the concentration of ghosts in Petworth and the fact that Marek didn't say "Good luck cool dudes, especially me" before he started. I can only conclude that this video is going to end up being the preview of the Blair Witch Project 2; Too blairy, too witchy.

@BeatTheFlash 3 года назад

Re. Knee, it strikes me that the female (grey) part of the adjustable across chest strap of your rucksack has an integrated whistle; are you aware of the international whistle calling distress signals being to blow three times and the rescue team's response usually being six blows? You can blow three times for three seconds each: while you’re blowing, it is suggested you count to three in your head during each blast so it lasts approximately three seconds, then take a breath or two between each blast to give the sound time to travel and catch your breath, then repeat. Give yourself a few seconds after you’ve completed the three blast pattern, and then repeat as long as you can to give yourself the best chance of being heard and located using direction of your whistle. You never know, might be handy if your leg falls off at the knee in darkest Hampshire.

@cdwc 3 года назад

This is excellent advice. Thank you cool dude. Yes that is a whistle on the chest strap. Osprey bags are great and all have them. The worry about injuries is why I bought my Fenix watch which sends an email to three people if you are stranded and gives your exact location.

I had some i-t band pain during long walks a while back. It's not nice at all. Fixed it by wearing a knee support brace while out walking for a while, until my legs got sufficiently strong to cope with 20+ miles on a regular basis. Had no trouble with it since, and therefore remain cool at all times.
