For Heather's latest challenge she takes on a North to South route across the national park - could she do it?

Marvellous. Sometimes we get so caught up in the data; we forget the simple pleasure of where running can take us. More content like this please GTN. Well done Heather đđŒ
Thanks Allan, it was refreshing to just run too.
The piano music behind the pony encounter... haha why are you playing with my emotions like this GTN?!
Thank you for taking us with you through that amazing journey full of awesome scenery , hope one day can see it myself . Cheers from Mexico
More like these please! These are so fun to watch and so motivating. Great job Heather!
You just took your badassness to another level Heather... and what a beautiful and hard place to pull this one off. Great job!!!
Great work Heather!
Why have I never thought of using my bike computer on long trail runs for navigation... briliant! Better nav display than watch, and don't waste phone battery.
It works well.
Such a great landscape. I hope to get over from the US someday to run through Dartmoor
Can u guys just appreciate the image stabilization, that's amazing! Good job heather
Great run Heather! More "Epic Runs" like this please. What a beautiful part of a beautiful country. Backpacking run videos if that's possible to do and if the weather permits.
Heather, good job. For your next such adventure, please pack a few survival items (emergency blanket, etc) in case you find yourself stranded in the wilds for the night. Prepare for the worst - excrement occurs.
Excrement occurs, thusly, one expires
You are an inspiration Heather! Congrats! Please talk about your waist pack and the gear you chose.
Maybe another video in that.
Beloved Heather, thanks for such great raw moments with you. We need more of those challenges from you guys at GTN. You guys rock đđ»
Thanks, you'll be pleased to hear there are a few more in the pipeline!
when i started to watch, i realized i watched it already... then i decided to watch it all the way again ! Such a great video, thanks Heather.
Impressive, well done! I know Dartmoor very well, having completed the 35, 45, and 55 mile Ten Tors challenges and last summer I walked North to South with some friends. Such a beautiful place.
Thatâs cool. I did 45miler when at school too.
Awesome! Ten Tors is such a great event! đ
Wow, what scenery. I would love to fly over and do the same route asap.
You should!
Congratulations on completing! The channel should have a Challenges playlist. I enjoy this type of content and love the scenery shots.
Great job Heather. You handled the water crossings magnificently. I so enjoyed listening to your comments and observations as you ran. I hope that lonely pony is okay. Thank you!
Me too!
This felt so real to me. Thank you Heather for doing this. You are an inspiration. You don't rest on your laurels and god knows how much you deserve all the good things coming your way. Wishing you all the best.
Great story. Great photography. Great editing. Well done all the way around!
Thanks Tom
Rule number one of the survivors: Never ever stand in the middle of a sacred circle in the wilderness!
Congratulations Heather, it was inspiring.
Celtic music fit the pictures very well, Iâm sorry it didnât go under it all the way through.
Although this environment was very barren to my eyes. Here in Hungary, you can do the same distance without even stepping out of the forest.
And in the long run, itâs always worth going with company. :-)
That was awesome Heather. Thanks for taking us on that fantastic journey. And congratulations on ticking off an item from your bucket list.
Thanks âșïž
At the time of this upload I was emerging from a very difficult time, so Iâm a little late to comment. I just want to say how impressed at the lovely Heatherâs sense of adventure; not sticking with triathlon based events!
Awesome effort Heather. Lovely to be taken on your journey, brilliantly narrated. Making me feel homesick from here in Shanghai. Giving me extra motivation though to get up for my long ride in the morning. Loving your work even if it was âfrickin freezingâđ. All the best, Mark
Oh I'm glad you appreciated the effort. Some videos from the Kelly pool might help too then :)
âSome old stone circles...I should say old. Medieval.â Such an awesome route to take you past such things.
Lovely circle, a bit earlier than medieval, Bronze Age? Probably about a 2000 years earlier, lovely all the sameđ
It was a nice surprise
Looks like great route, lovely part of the world, Iâm sure it could be pretty wild in bad weather.
Grey weathers I think? Pretty cool! There's so many awesome ancient features to run past on dartmoor.
@@martinhollamby3532 There really are some ancient features and can be very grey weather.
Hi Hearher, great video again.
a tip; i use my watch (garmin fenix 6) for navigation (in color and full map) It's on the wrist, last very long and you actualy feel the watch when you have to make a turn...
It looks like it would be a little bit more relaxing, especialy with this kind of routes...
Very cool Heather! Loved the scenery. Thanks for sharing this adventure and well done!
Thanks đ
Very nice video Heather! What An adventure and great to be coming along with you and your emotions
Thanks, I enjoyed sharing it :)
Amazing adventure, thanks for sharing with usđ
Beautiful landscapes đż
Great adventure! Dartmoor is Brutal respect for getting across it on foot!!!
Brutal and beautiful.
Have my first trail run this Saturday through the Royal National Park south of Sydney (27km band 1350m elevation). This video is inspiring. The whole network has been a great help with both advice and motivation- particularly that I have only started to run with lockdown which hasn't been as strict. So thank you.
Good luck!
Heather, you are my favorite GTN presenter, and one of my Adventure Heroes. You inspire me to get outside of my comfort zone.
Great great content!! Very inspiring & a great example of setting a goal, planning and achieving!! Excellent!
Great video! Iâm very lucky to live 5 minutes from that track at the end. It is an old railway line locally named puffing billy.
Awesome work Heather! :D
And great editing btw :)
Much, much tougher than it appeared on this upload. Big thanks from Newquay.
You're welcome!
Great run! Love these longer vids of you guys out doing great challenges.. đđ»
Superb! What an amazing experience.
Wow, what a scenery. That is mind blowing.
Well done Heather, that was a tough route. 50k is tough enough as it is but over that ground makes it all the better an achievement.
Thanks
Amazing concept for a video! Well done!!
Nice to see YOu, You are such a inspiration for me. Go GTN Go
Amazing journey, thanks alot for sharing it đ
What a beautiful run!!!
Sincerely extremely interesting! Really enjoyed this one. Feels like I went on an adventure and now I'm motivated to go have my own adventure. Thanks for all the hard work!
Awesome. Hope youâve got one planned.
Thank you Heather and crew for another great video! It suddenly reminded me that I've actually visited Dartmoor once, in my youth, back in 1996, when I spent July in Torquay. While watching the G*N I have always thought that if I ever return to the South West England, I'd want to take my roadbike with me, but perhaps there would be other good reasons as well!
Besides, just today this video was the very kick to my bum that got me out of the door and take that 10k easy run.
That's so great to hear, I hope you keep the momentum going!
Impressive Heather, especially what with the nature of the terrain & wind ! Well done
Thanks John
Just come across this channel and your video. Really inspiring! Iâve done a couple of ultras and loved the outdoors but over the last couple of years really struggled to get motivated again. Seeing this has inspired me to get running again. Thank you đ
Massive Kudos and cracking film đ„
nicely done heather!! what a great achievement and so much fun :)
Thanks
Such a simple but well created video. Thanks!
Absolutely well done!! Loved this so much. You're awesome. Very insightful, loved the Stone circle spot. Super cool. Look forward to watching more. Glad I found this channel!!ââđđâ€
Makes you miss that moment in an un ultra when you start saying that you'll never ever join another ultra again and that this is the last one ever! Then you end up joining another event after a weeks.
Well done, very inspirational, thanks.
Some friends and I hiked basically this exact route in October over two days and I remarked on how it would be such a good one day trail run. Glad to see you agree with me, now I need to actually get on and do it!
Yes it's worth going back to do!
Really great video. Love this ultra runs on trails
Thanks. Good to see such a great looking run
So awesome, good to see some of the terrain too... Planning to do this myself in July!
Oh great, you'll love it!
Speechless and again " RESPECT " Heather
I'm a triathlete first, these day's, but I'm also a trail runner and I tip my hat to you Heather, this is was a great video and congrats on taking on this challenging and making it look easy, knowing it was not.
Thanks Len, I think the editor left out the bits of me looking even grumpier ;)
Awesome!
Ho Heather Go â„ïž So inspiring in such troubled times đ
Thank you âșïž
Great run, effort and video! Nicely done! Appreciate the effort after the lockdown... Little ideea: blur the number plate... You never know...
Thanks.
Oh and was a hire car.
Lovely Herdy in opening shot! (Herwick sheep is normally kept in Lake District)
Didnât know that.
Congrats Heather, inspiring journey!
Awesome stuff Heather! Congratulations on finishing with a smile and thank you for sharing that adventure with us. I always wonder how you get those moving shots out on the moor, does GoPro track you somehow?
Anyway, kudos for ticking that off your bucket list :-)
LOVELY JOURNEY!You are in amzing shape!Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Gabor, I took it pretty steady though as you could see!
Awesomeness so well done... đȘđ»đȘđ»đȘđ»đȘđ»
Thank you
Wow so beautiful! I hope that pony is ok
Me too
Great video Heather. Beautiful country. Share the homemade cookie recipe plz. Ty
Great achievement. Loved the B-roll shots. đđđđ
Epic run. Well done.
Discovered something new: watched tthe video upside down while stretching and from this angle your running technique looks like you are dancing Heather :). Thank's for yet another interesting challenge. Hope you had a fantastic day!
If only I felt like I was dancing đ
Iâm surprised that you didnât use a Garmin watch, route mapped using their course creation on connect and then synching with your phone to create activity tracking for the crew âŠ.. would have been easier than a hand held. Still a marvellous run and well filmed. GTN > TRC đđ»
Great effort Heather well doneđđ»
Great job. Awesome route and amazing scenery.
It was a lovely day out
Very nice Heather! Congrats đ
Great video thanks for sharing. I ran a similar route in August 2020 and it brought back fond memories. I cannot quite believe you kept you shoes dry till after 30km epic, pretty sure I was soggy by 10km đ
I was certainly lucky, it had been dry for a while.
Awesome run in an amazing part of the world, will have to try out at least part of it when I get back to Devon! Inspiring! Well done Heather.
Yes do!
I love ultra adventures like this - truly connecting with nature and oneself (and occasionally others)! Great video - goes to show just how good such jaunts are for mental health, demonstrated so very well by Heather chirruping contentedly to herself! :D
It was the most time I've spent alone in a while.
@@heatherfell_oly You clearly enjoyed it (but also the company at the end)! Thanks for sharing :)
Wow I used to cycle all over Dartmoor. Now I really want to run it!
Do it!
@@heatherfell_oly I shall this was as great video! I gained 6 stone over the last 2 years so I shall use this as my inspiration keep up the great content đ
@@lordbertos8124 Keep us posted!
Well done Heather, amazing đ€©
Nice film but this does seem almost identical to another film that I have seen on CZcams called Crossing Dartmoor, made quite a bit before this GTN one...I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
It's something I've always wanted to do having been brought up on Dartmoor. I hope you enjoyed the journey.
@@heatherfell_oly Oh yeah, don't get me wrong yours is a great film. Have you seen "Crossing Dartmoor" the film i was referring to ?
@@stevetipple4791 I've watched one when I was doing my research, not sure of title.
This was a great episode... LOVED IT!
Lovely!
way too awesome!!!
Brilliant đđđđđđ
Beautifully done Heather đ„° Inspiring. When GTN decides to come for 2 Oceans Ultramarathon in Cape Town let us know in advance. Iâm from Mozambique but would gladly do it again to meet you all đ€
This is unrelated but ive heard there is quite a bit of violence in Mozambique recently. Hope peace will be with your country and the people there.
Oh Iâd love to do that race!
Do come Heather and all âșïž The hole experience is amazing. One of the most beautiful cities in the world Iâm sure. The 2 Oceans meeting and Mountains.. đ„°
Yes.. Mozambique is on a delicate situation up north of the country. Sadly.. Though Maputo, the capital city, is on the south (2700km away). Here and the rest of the country thereâs no issues. You can still come visit and enjoy some of the beauties of the country like the so called Paradise Islands in Bazaruto Archipelago âșïž
Thanks for the video gives me motivation to start looking at a shorter run in the wilderness here. Although the Netherlands is a bit more packed than the UK.
Great stuff, good luck
Well done smashed it â°
Brilliant heather lets go!!
A very similar route to the âDartmoor in a Dayâ 50km run a few years back, but that was in September following weeks of rain - it was murder!
Interesting fact: to become a royal marines commando one of the final commando tests you have to do is a very similar route you did where they go from north of Dartmoor down to the south and finish near Plymouth. The route is 30 miles exactly and they do it with 40lbs and a rifle!
I've had a few friends do it, sounds tough!
Way2go Heather 50K. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.
My pleasure.
Working up a sweat! Woo!
What a great video, I loved it. Truly i sparing and it just makes me want to get my running shoes on and get out there. Well done Heather.
Oh great, go for it!
Very well done. Brava! đ
Loved this! Heather, you are an inspiration xx
Aww thank you
Wow! Well done Heather! Thank you for sharing such stunning scenery †- next stop Comrades #2? Much love from SA
Oh I'd still love to come back and get my downhill badge, one day!
Wonderful video! Watching you run is inspiring and makes me want to try an ultra. I've never tried anything longer than a marathon, so 50-60K may be my next big thing. Thanks!
Yes, do it!
Well done, Heather! :-)
