Hi Guys here's my video for my solo hike of the Cotswolds Way. For me this walk was especially challenging. The many steep ascents and descents, my being overweight and walking in high temperatures with very little opportunity to replenish water and or food stocks culminated in me suffering high levels of exhaustion, dehydration, insufficient caloric uptake, a rather nasty stomach bug and badly bruised intestines and stomach, all constituting what may be termed as a very uncomfortable time :-(.

All in all I underestimated this walk dramatically and paid a high price as a result. 20 miles from the finish line I called it a day, a decision not taken lightly, resigning myself to defeat.

It's a shame, but to know when enough is enough is enough to know. Regardless of cutting things short I'm proud of my achievement and dedicate this adventure to the memory and honour of my late father-in-law. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for support. Dave AKA wackyswanderings.
