Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 8/10
Fatigue: 4/10 - I know I’m tired before I even start walking!!
Ease of terrain: 4/10 surprisingly found some of the uphill sections tough going.
⭐️Highlights: new walk. New challenge. No pressure re distances and time. Walking with Gemma again (make sure to check out the vlogs from the coast to coast). Setting up the tents when it was dry before it started raining again.
🏔️Challenges: the weather 🌧️. Stomach issues (had some gluten/wheat food over the weekend. Stomach is still not happy), super tired 🥱 (I think I’m anaemia- I’ve got a blood test next week to check). Period 🩸 it’s all going on! Ahhhhh 😫😩 plus add in the hills…
💭Thoughts: although it rained on and off all day. It’s been fun! Plus I took an umbrella ☂️ which has been a game changer. I love it!! Big fan!! Do you hike with an umbrella?!

Welcome back! Good to see you!😊
thank you so much! apologies for taking so long to get new vlogs uploaded - I wish I could promise that I will be more consistent - but I'm not sure it's going to happen until October this year - but then I will be on it with the editing!! Expect vlogs from the South West Coast Path and the New Zealand vlogs to come out!! Something to look forward to - thanks again for supporting!
Thank you, thank you dear Sarah!! Glad to see your full-length videos again!!
glad to have some video content coming out again!!! ENJOY!! New episodes every Wednesday and Friday x
@@toughgirlchallenges Great!! However, I am still watching all your videos from the very beginning of your activities on CZcams! I'll get to these episodes in a few months! :) Good health to you!
@@warvaralynx7955 oh wow!!! that's epic - thank you!!!!
Good health to you!!!!
@@toughgirlchallenges Thank you!!
This should be good, always enjoy your videos. When you was walking in Anglesey you walked through a field with a Lot of cows. You said it’s ok I don’t mind cows. What as happened since then.
thanks so much - I've got a few vlogs coming out and hopefully a lot more to come. Just need to find the time to edit them lol!! The reason for not liking cows anymore.......I got chased by them - it massively Changes your perspective - it's a really scary thing when you think you are going to be pushed off a cliff by the cows running towards you. When it's never happened to you - it's so hard to explain - there is now just a fear and I keep hearing more and more stories about accidents which happened with cows and how dangerous they can be. They can be scary animals!!
I belive i have got good will power and i dedication to stick to a plan. But if i am struggling i watch your short video on the Appalachian Trail really motivates me. I know about cows specifically on the costal path like you say its either a cliff one side her the herd the other. Most of the time they be ok. But if one will come they all bloody come.
