2 Fat Lads Video Diary 1

Day 7

Another great night in our Trisar 2 XL tent by Wild Country. If you're looking for a decent, light and affordable tent I couldn't recommend it enough.

We've passed the border into Cornwall!

After an intense 6 days we've gained some serious ground and have crossed over from North Devon into Cornwall. Today was really hard between Hartland Quay and Bude but we've made it to the campsite while the sun is still up. Onwards!

Day 3

So it's bright and early on day 3, we've made excellent progress so far so we're hoping to reach Woolacombe today or even Croyde Bay if we find the extra strength to push on.

So far it's been a bit of a shell shock to the system - this path is a very hard one, especially when you are a fat lad with a further 25kg on your back. Because of this we've been a little lazy in the evenings as far as uploading pictures and blogs etc, so we apologise for that. Hopefully we'll get a bit more disciplined from now on.

ONWARDS!!

2 days to go

With only two days to go we've both got really itchy feet - we are looking forward to starting this mammoth trek. All we can do now is try and pack sensibly to keep our backpack weight as low as possible.

6 days to go - soaking in as much of my little one as possible
