Join me on an epic adventure as I tackle the South Downs Way, a 100-mile trail from Eastbourne to Winchester. But can I do it in cold early January in the Big Freeze? And can I do it in 7 days?
I'll be facing the challenge of winter camping and pushing myself to complete the trail in under seven days. Don't miss out on the stunning landscapes and unpredictable weather as I strive to reach my destination. Subscribe now and follow my journey!
There will be one installment a week. Art, hiking, wild camping, snow (!), ice, getting lost, random sheep and cows, The Search For The Lost Tap, it has it all.
The first day takes me from the station, along the coast (SCENIC ROUTE!) via Beachy Head, Birling Gap and to Cuckmere Haven.
Also as always long term reviews of the gear I use - the first use of the Windhike/Naturehike/Flaming Creed R5.8 mattress, and first proper outing for the Osprey Rook 65L. How will they fare?
