I've pitched on caravan sites and its been a nightmare. Tents usually segregated to near the play area. I've had football's hit my tent and the worry of broken tent poles. Some families caravaning with children are inconsiderate. On this occasion the caravan site looked quiet so perhaps OK but generally best to avoid. The rear garden of a pub is better.

If you're looking for pain free footwear, have a look at AKU boots. They don't really seem to have taken off in the UK that much, but they're the only ones I'll buy now, pain free from first wear, and never had a blister. Combined with HJ Hall Protek socks gives really comfortable walking.

Last weekend using a footpath alongside a field, I slipped and caught my inner bicep on barbed wire. It ripped through 2 layers, leaving me with puncture wounds and a huge bruise. I am checking daily and so far no infection - luckily. It ruined my Rab coat, £180 down the drain. My friend had to lift me up to get me off of it. No one should be putting up barbed wire, we're not in prison.

This is so inspiring. So much of beautiful England and it’s history to see for free as you go along. So many exciting and adventurous weekends you can have for next to nothing (apart from ones initial kit lay out) This route is a godsend as my best mate lives in Froggatt and I have another close friend who lives in Sawley just a mile or so further on from Long Eaton so I’d have a bed for the night at one end and a bed for the night at the other. I would probably reduce my daily miles and preplan my camp sites though. Give me more recuperation time between days. Great video.

This is a very nice descriptive video showing all the nicely manicured walkways and historic villages that make for an enjoyable stroll through the British countryside. Very nicely presented Paul. Its the sort of image that many of us from the Antipodes would expect to see when we venture to the mother land (Scotland for me- 5 generations back) which I hope won't be too long away. Paul a young bloke like you shouldn't be needing painkillers on such a pleasant hike your doing here. Blisters!! Mate the next time you buy a pair of hiking boots/shoes try wearing 2 pairs of heavy quality Merino woolen socks to the shop. You look quite restricted in your gait when viewed from behind. It appears your boots are far too tight and your feet need to be held in place by a couple of layers of woolen socks and not by the structure of your boots. Personal advice from over 55 years of daily work and hiking boot wear. A double layer of wool helps stop your feet sweating and becoming soft, hence blisters, but of course everyone has a different foot shape.

@twenchtowers3894 5 лет назад

Loved this! For a more enjoyable experience I recommend picking up the White Peak Loop at Rowsley and following it all the way in to Matlock - it avoids having to walk along the A6 but still passes close to the Square and Compass at Darley Bridge for beer and/or camping.
