Walking the South West Coastal Path - Episode 1

Documentary of Ben Brown's South West Coastal Path (SWCP) adventure. This is part one and covers the first 4 days of the trip. Ben had previously walked the SW Coast Path but had split it into 3 different trips. This time would be different as he'd be walking the route all in one go. Carrying all his camping equipment and splitting his nights between wild camps on the path, campsites nearby, and the occasional treat of some indoor accommodation. The 6 week long trip was both a test of resilience but also a wonderful break from everyday life and being lucky enough to see the best in people that he met along the way. Starting in Poole and ending in Minehead the path covers 640 miles. Most people split the journey into sections and complete the walk over multiple years or months but Ben wanted to complete it in one trip. This series of videos follows his time on the trail and shows the amazing scenery but is also an insight into some of the challenges of the adventure.
