The wild idea, overconfidence, and the reality check

Season 2 · Episode 1

mardi 28 octobre 2025Duration 15:55

Welcome back! For our second series, we took on a wild challenge: through-hiking the entire South Downs Way to celebrate a 40th birthday. It sounded simple enough, we're an active family of five. We quickly learned that being generally 'fit' is not the same as being 'multi-day hike fit.'

In this episode, we introduce the full crew, including the tiny star of the show, buddy the chihuahua, and confess our massive initial mistake: overestimating our endurance and underestimating the time everything would take. If you've ever thought about trading a resort for a real challenge, this is where you learn what not to assume!

What do you do when the kids hit the wall halfway through the South Downs Way? This episode dives into the unexpected simplicity of family adventure.
