Why do I love hiking in the UK? How is Otto doing?| Answering some of your questions | Mid-trail Q&A

In April 2023, I set off on my biggest adventure so far: A 1600mile long hike all across Britain from Dunnet Head in Scotland to Lizard Point in Cornwall. I'm going solo with my rescue dog Otto, (wild) camping along the way.

In this video (about 2/3 into our hike), I’m answering some questions that I got and explain a little bit about my planning process, how we’re managing the heat, other trails I would love to do and a lot more. It’s a bit on the longer side, I’ve added time stamps down below.

I also wanted to say THANK YOU for your support. I really appreciate your comments, encouragement, kind words and your support on ko-fi/buymeacoffee.
This means so much and I’m very grateful :)

I’m regular uploading new videos (though probably not always on the exact same day every week).
Please subscribe (it’s free :)) if you want to stay up to date and support my work. That would really mean a lot!

My dream is to make a living out of my passion for being outdoors, hiking and creating videos that brighten your day - and your support means the world and I’m really grateful!

On our hike we also try to raise funds for the Green Forest Fund and the WWF. Feel free to support our charity if you can: https://www.betterplace.org/de/fundra...

Thank you so much!
