5 Days Hiking

[redandshane]

Really enjoyed that; you write very well indeed
Well done. Those blisters look bad
I empathized strongly with your difficulties getting water.Its worth thinking about other opportunities to grab some H20
I don't use a filter but I do have plan of where I will be able to get water on route and always camp near a supply of some kind
Whats your next hike ?

Thanks glad you liked the write up . Yeah water was a pain in a way, maps can only tell so much. Some of the sources marked on the OS were the worst I used and some I just came across were the best .
My next trip I'm not sure but I'd love to do the Dales Way or the Cleveland Way next year.

Looks like a great trip. Tanks for sharing.

I liked the critique on your kit, you seemed to have had a good balance of kit. Also you used most of what you took so not so much dead wood wood in there. Was there anything that you dumped off the first kit list that you regret not taking?

The only thing I really missed was the hand sanitiser, but that's only due to the lack of water at times. Also I only took one pole in the end should of taken the pair I think, would have been a help on some of the steeper sections.

Oh Sudocrem is special stuff! It's useful for just about everything from burns to cuts, spots, rashes, grazes (running out of ailments here). But it's dead handy as it's both antiseptic and very soothing.

Neat! On the list

Hindsights a wonderful thing But I pack Compeed on all my hillwalks and think it has saved me dozens of times if not more.

May be try and take some, try some another time

Great post thoroughly enjoyed reading it

 

[MikeLA]

Hope you enjoy a lot more. Just been up the cheviots with the oldest boy for a couple of days and realised how much i miss being outdoors

thanks for the write up. An inspiring and entertaining read for me. Brave to do such things alone!

 

[Teepee]

Brilliant stuff mate, loved the TR. Glad the kit worked out for you too. Thanks for taking us along

Blisters always make me wince and those look proper.:yikes:

Thanks , yeah I'd taken some generic blister plasters but maybe compeed would be worth the extra next time!

You should have given me a shout I would have gladly joined you. Got my Sil-MinPeak coming next week and working on nice lightweight kit so if yo have anywhere in mind and would like the company you know where I am

 

[GordonM]

Very well done, copper_head! Excellent after action review; thanks for sharing the trip with us. You have some great photos along the way. The pints and the steak pictures are well earned rewards. Again, nice job!

Cheers Gordon. Glad you enjoyed the report. Hehe well we do this for enjoyment after all, a few luxuries along the way were very welcome

 

[Druss]

Great report mate and some truly great pictures. Looks like a great way to spend 5 days, although i could almost feel those blisters, ouch. Hope your feet made a full recovery. I never heard of this walk until now but is something I think I would like to take on in the future. Thanks for sharing with us been a very entertaining read.
