I learned three important things last week:
- When you go on a multiple day hike, ALWAYS take an extra pair of shoelaces with you. I didn’t and both of my shoelaces broke before I even was halfway.
- NEVER take a train in England. They are incredibly expensive!
- Getting soaked is not that bad when you know there’s a hot shower, a meal and a pint waiting for you in a pub.
Taking pictures is one of the things I really love, so I took loads again! Yesterday’s photo was a little preview; here are several more. The first two days were very rainy, windy and wet, so I don’t have a lot of photos of that part of the walk. No worries though, the best (and by far the most strenuous) part was on the third and the fourth day.
Monday: wet, wetter, wettest
Tuesday: floods, fields and sore legs
Wednesday: sun, spectacular views and ruins

You have really captured the English countryside in your images Bram. Crazy weather, rolling hills and cosy pubs.
I remember my parents always telling me there was a hot chocolate waiting for me at the end of a walk.
Once they lied and told me there was a cafe at the top of Ben Nevis, I spent the whole hike, being just 7 at the time, dreaming about hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Obvs I was less than pleased when reaching the summit and realising there was nothing but snow!!

An incredible hike...and you're right...it's a lot easier to bear some things when you know there's a pint waiting at the end:)

It was incredible! And English pubs really are something to look forward to while hiking. They're so cosy, it's like coming home every night.
