  • This one's been on the list for a while, but we've never had the time.
    To be honest, we still didn't, but gave it a go anyway...
    Welcome to our Fife Coastal Path adventure.
    This is the first half and will take us from Kincardine to Crail over 3 days.
    The next bit will follow soon, revealing how far we got in the end!
    Day 1: Kincardine - Burntisland (28 miles/45km)
    Day 2: Burntisland - Leven (17 miles/27km)
    Day 3: Leven - Crail (20 miles/32km)
    Part One filmed Friday 10th - Sunday 12th June 2022
    Part Two filmed Monday 13th - Wednesday 15th June 2022 (maybe) ;)

    43:29 Absolutely loved Alicja's commentary there, "Walking ten meters apart in silence." Steve turns around, "What?" Alicja: "Nothing." Steve later edits the video and includes that part. Genius!

    Blister prevention: 1) Avoid cotton socks, or indeed socks with any % of cotton. 2) Wearing two thin pairs of socks is better than wearing one thicker pair. This allows the socks to move against each other rather than moving your flesh over your bones, which causes heat and causes blisters. 3) Pure Merino wool is the best (check they dont have a % of cotton), Failing that, get 100% synthetic. I wear polyester/nylon blend. 4) As your inner pair of socks you can buy anti blister nylon liners, or women's no show (nylon tights material) work well. 5) Carry some moleskin with you to put on any hotspots. As soon as you feel the hotspot apply the moleskin, don't wait or now its a blister.

    • @David_Avidmind
      @David_Avidmind Před 8 měsíci +5

      @phillylarkin.s1930 It is not too hard, buy some nice socks without cotton, the info is on the label, put them on. Left foot, right foot repeat. Spend time enjoying the walk. Happy Socksgiving to you.

      Steve - a few tips for these long-distance walks. Stop often, dry the feet, use foot powder on them, change to dry socks [Carry extras] and for inclement weather possibilities, carry at least two plastic grocery-type shopping bags per person. You wear the bags over your socks but inside the shoes to keep out rain and puddles. They are especially handy when restarting after soaking your footgear and it hasn't dried out thoroughly. Use them as a poor man's Wellington like @ 17:06, if you will.
      For the blisters, there are blister adhesive tape packs available [Moleskin], to shield and cushion a forming hot spot but there are differing schools of thought on opening them yourself. Let the body reabsorb the liquid or lance them carefully and blot up the fluid should they tear or burst. It's the body's way of making a temporary cushion but they certainly can be painful. I would have colored the air around me with salty language personally. Great effort you two!

    We been taught that the Locals prononce Anstruther as ‘Enster’!
    MOD base and the Dockyard does get right in the way in West Fife.
    Preston Island lagoons caused by residue from now demolished Longannet Power Station being currently capped from local decommissioned opencast mine. Preston Island will hopefully as planned be converted back fully to the wild. Good few deer to be found as it is.

    My god guys....what an absolutely amazing video! I'm now convinced that you are both crazy....walked 28 miles first day!!!!! Poor Alicja....that girl must really love you, anyone else would have have said "on your bike, I'm getting the bus" but despite the blisters and pain she kept going on! What a girl, and well done to you for doing it all on foot! Only thing that worried me on this epic journey is that you didn't treat Alicja to a fish supper in Anstruther which is world famous for it's "best fish and chips in the world"....maybe next time eh! You guys are epic....I take my hat off to you both....the mileage you've covered on foot is just amazing. What an incredible video.....amazeballs! 😎😎😎👍

    • @steve-marsh

      Thanks so much mate! haha I must admit it felt surreal in Anstruther to see people going about their normal lives, eating ice cream, fish and chips, as we stumbled through in another dimension :D Must set the record straight though - Alicja has been treated to that very meal a while back, and even a wee poke of sweeties after :)

    @amycole8974 Před rokem +1

    I was once a hiker...not now at 80 years old. Never the less I do remember how not to get blisters. waring two pairs of socks, wool of course. The pair that's next to the skin should be thin and a snug fit. The second a little more chunky. The idea of the two pair is that when the sock chafes it's going to chafe the first pair instead of you feet. Believe me it works.

    You need well broken in walking boots with two pairs of this socks to hike long distances. I used that system for the Great Glen Way. Both from Fort William to Inverness and return a few years ago. No hotels just campsites but we had to carry a tent, cooking equipment, utensils and food so as we moved along the route it got lighter by the day.

Pretty sure her house was right on the seafront, sadly she sold it. Gonna send her a link to this video! Lovely one again guys x

Have an Aunt, cousin, and my sister settle in Anster. Another cousin in Crail, indeed I bought a fisherman's row house in Anster as a future retirement home. Ended up on Phuket Island Thailand and never came back. Sold that house for a very big profit 30 years later.

Last October me and my ex-husband did a 90 mile walk on our own just with white sticks to raise money for 90 years of Guide Dogs. We did about 30 miles each day give or take, some longer than others. We raised almost £6000 and named a puppy, so it was definitely worth every blister and ache. This is a must on my bucket list. Keep up the great videos guys. X.

    Another great journey Steve and Alicja, the railway track through Culross sometimes sees the odd excursions by the Flying Scotsman.

    Thanks for suffering to bring us the pleasure of this walk! My favourite scenes - 10.08, north Queensferry; 34.12, Robinson Crusoe’s statue - saw this when we went to Elie in 1950’s; and 36.40, Elie, where my father owned the bakery in late 1940’s - early 1950’s.
    Cheers from Australia.

    @RedHillian Před 2 lety

    That's a whole lot of walking, and I'm sure your feet felt it for days - it's lovely scenery out there though, and even when you're slogging through the storm doing 5 second bursts to camera behind fences it looks like a lovely walk.
    Looking forward to the part 2, but I would also be very up for watching through you & Alicja take afternoon tea somewhere - it's one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon and I'd love to hear where you thing are good places to go.

  • @srcarranza

    @bernicebest Před 2 lety

    This has been a Mammoth tour for you both, I was breathless by reaching first junction! I have enjoyed seeing new grounds for me and what fabulous views, there is no escaping the true to form Scottish weather is there! you and Alicja are so courageous with your passion for making remarkable interesting videos for our enjoyment, I loved seeing you in your Kilt Steve, today wouldn’t have been a good Idea though me thinks! you can hardly wear thermal long johns under them 🫣 I hope Alicja’s feet have recovered enough to continue Part 2. Even though you are broken Steve I don’t think wild horses would prevent you from carrying on! 👍

    @jonathankirton5643 Před 2 lety

    Absolutely great. My wife and I recently walked the bit from North Queensferry to Kirkcaldy when we were on holiday up there. We visit the area regularly and always walk the bits between Inverkeithing and Aberdour. The Sands at Aberdour serves great food and there's also a niche cafe near the station. On the Hope Street in Inverkeithing there is a coffee shop and the food and drink are great. The whole thing is on our list of walks to do.

    I'm only 11 minutes in and I'm loving it. So much to see. Bravo to you both for taking this adventure on. Can't wait to continue watching. Oh and Limekilns Primary School...my first ever school - I was 5 and lived just outside of Dumfirmline at a farm called Gallowridge Hill Farm....purportedly the location of...hmm gallows for hanging the crims!

    @SparkySenor Před 2 lety

    Hi guys, I watched this last weekend and have meant to comment sooner. I hope you've both rested and your feet are on the mend? I have an ankle injury from nearly 50 years which means I can't walk too far, so Alicija's struggles were all too familiar but what a trooper you are Steve, I'd have been inclined to rest together. I was really interested to watch this vlog as I visited Dysart a couple of weeks ago and I loved it. I've visited Elie, St. Monan's etc., a while back but didn't know about East/West Weymss, Aberdour even though I've been to Burntisland a few times. I have learned so much from your channel and am so inspired to cover many of your tracks, thank you doesn't seem enough but I am truly, very grateful and cannot wait for part 2. Cheers

  • @richardthomson203
    @richardthomson203 Před 2 lety

    A few years ago I cycled from Cramond over the Forth Road Bridge and along the Fife Trail as far as St Monans and back.
    The East Neuk with its wonderful villages is spectacular and so picturesque.
    I'm coming back to Scotland ( my daughters graduation) in a weeks time, can't wait to see the Auld Country !
    Well done guys and thank goodness for Compeed !! 👍

    • @steve-marsh

    Hello Steve and Alicja and I do hope that your sore feet and blisters have now healed, no pun intended, I can certainly sympathize having had painful blisters on more than one occasion, however, thanks for the trip, magnificent scenery and I am so looking forward to the next video, stay safe and good luck, cheers, Si. Loved the comment about the posh house with the outside toilet, had me laughing.

    I would love a challenge like this, walking 116 miles. Good choice to stay in hotels. The views so far of the ocean are lovely. Good luck on your challenge from South Carolina, USA and safe teavels.
