 The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales. The total walking distance is 23 miles, 37 kilometres and the total ascent is 3,064 metres, 10,052 feet. The total driving distance is 462 miles. The three mountains are Ben Nevis in Scotland at 1,345 metres, Scarfield Pike in England at 978 metres and Snowden in Wales at 1,885 metres. I'm going to attempt to climb each mountain barefoot for the charity Carme, which is the campaign against living miserably. And this hike is in memory of Paul Wobbitton, resting piece. Let's go. How do you feel, Joseph? I feel worried. I've got trepidation. Worryed? Trepidation. Nervous? Nervous. Yeah. Unprepared? Unprepared. All the sort of things you want to feel before you do something like the Three Peaks Challenge when you've got a mate with no shoes on. Yeah, and that's coming from my support crew there, so... Let's go. And now we've finished earloves. Come on, we're going. Right, let's see. Let's see if we can just do one mountain barefoot. I don't even think I'll get half, we're TBH, because just a backstory. I've just finished the Cape Rath Trail, and I did have some good calluses on my feet, but they've all come off because my feet were so wet throughout the whole trail that the big lumps of skin came off. So my feet are a bit tender, but... I'll give it my best shot. You're doing it right. Let's do it. Come on. Come on. I should stay off grass. I should use this bit to warm up, actually. But look at how beautiful it is as well. Bonnie Scotland. Yeah, this is not raining. Yeah, it's not raining. Welcome back to Bonnie Scotland. Right, we're... We've done it. We're at top of... First bit. Snowden. This is Snowden. The battery cut out for the rest of it, but trust me, we did it. Thanks for the support. We're half an hour in. Feet check. So far, so dusty. There's no rouge. Just dusty, no blood, so we're all right. So we're just... The terrain at the moment is this, this... like a gravelly path, which... is good sort of warming up to warm up on, and then you get the delights of these bigger stones and... just a mixed bag. Green power ranger. So... Just found this. Probably not gonna forage it like this. There's no need, but look at that. It's a good photo, is that? In fact, yeah, it is a good photo. At least we've got to see... views like this as he crumbles underfoot. Look how it bounces in the lake. Oh, absolutely stunning, man. Oh, yes. Oh. Joy. The joy of the steps. We're doing it the other half way. We're doing it. We know we're near over half way when you think about it, though, eh? Yeah. Well, over half way now, we're just getting slowly enveloped by these clouds. So we've stopped for a flapjack break. Feet look okay. So far, so good. The game has changed. These, uh... there's been a lot more angular these stones for the last while, and they hit different. They don't half stick into the bottoms. They'll be feet in between the heel and the body foot. We on we go. Real talk. It's getting hard now. Guy's really difficult on feet. Feet are hurting. It's been this sharp stuff for a long time, and it is like getting combed in bottom of feet by miniature Mike Tyson with sharpened fists. In the killer instinct. Like E Honda just going at it. E Honda going at it like that. Right, here we are, Lollipop lad. Lollipop lad. Checking in. I'm struggling. I'm struggling, guys. It's stunning views, regarding, but I'm afraid... It's just this scree. It's just kicking the living dicks out in the middle of my feet. And, a real talk, don't think I'm going to be able to do three peaks, I don't think. I'm going to do everything in my power to get to the top of this one without tapping out, and then put shoes back on to run back down, get to the scaffold, see how we feel, but the only thing I'm going to try and do is do Ben Nevis barefoot. I'll try and do that to make your donations worth it. How are you feeling, Joseph? So far, all right. I don't want to jinx it, mate. I don't want to jinx it, but so far, all right. There's still a way to go, so I'm just going to neck a couple of ibuprofen, have some water and then we'll crack on. Deployed. Deployed Joey's pressure off of the feet, and it's helping with balance a little bit. But still, it hurts, lads and lasses. I know a mistake about it. Off the back of our paintful, and how this is, everyone, can I just do this? Are we having this? Can I just do the highest mountain in the UK barefoot, and he's doing it, and I've done it, if I get to the top? Because I can't do all three, guys. It's been too soon after Kate Raff, and it's knackered feet up. I've bitten off more than I can chew, and it's not, you know, I'm not afraid to admit defeat. I am. I don't like admitting defeat, but a good friend of mine said it might do me well to admit defeat once, you know what I mean? I just, finally, just accept defeat, mate. Accept defeat. I quit him. Yeah? He's having that look. He's smiling. I'm having it. We've found a patch of moss, probably only moss. Oh my God. So nice. I could cry. I could feel that all through my body. This is the summit of Ben Nevis. I can't believe it. I've done it, guys. I'd just like to thank everyone for sponsoring me. It's been an absolutely epic journey. I've struggled at times, but I've come through it. And here we are, the summit of Ben Nevis. For Instagram. I've made shoes on. We're off, back down. Pantits. Summit. The sun is now fully disappeared. But it's still giving us a little bit of a warm orange glow. And that, down there, clippity, clopperty, clankity coming up the hill. Here's Mr. Hayes out doors. Somehow still managing to put one foot in front of the other. Look at this. Is the summit of Ben Nevis everybody? I've done it. I've made it. This is jokes, mate. Probably steepest bit we've had for a while there. Hardest bit this, man. Temperatures dropped practically now. The sun's gone behind the clouds. It's not quite jacket weather though, because the pain keeps you hot. It keeps you sweaty. A day to dream, guys. It's another false summit though. There's your dreams. Looks like it's going to be dark by the time you get to the top. Mate, you just keep going. That little black sort of dot over there is the top. I'm going to do it. We're going to do it. We're going to make it. I'll be honest, there was time back there where I thought I wasn't going to make it and it's still jagged rock, isn't it? It's pretty crazy underfoot. I'm going to do this one. That's the goal, is just to get to the summit of Ben Nevis barefoot and then we're going to try to get to the three peaks however it comes, even with shoes on. Are we at the top yet? On a pain scale is it the most painful thing you've ever done? No. I think it's up there for sure. But it's not like breaking a bone or something like that. As far as consistent pain. Yeah, this is up there like because all these stones are so jagged that I can't explain it man, I feel like I'm going delirious. I'm going absolutely delirious with it. Once we get there that's an achievement unlocked, isn't it? Don't get loaded by that moss in that crevice look. Man, there's a bit of moss I'm off. The sweet relief of tumbling off a cliff off a mountain. I'll take it, I'll take it. That little bit where I'm not walking on jagged stones before, I eat jagged stones at bottom, look at these. Ah, loads of cairns. Why are you in cairn? Let's have a quick look at quick look at way down. Don't go too near. Come back away from there. That is a nasty fall mate. Wow. That's log off, password, delete, all that. Just milling around on the summit of the highest mountain in the UK, half ten with no shoes on, what are you up to? He's laughing at that one. Yeah. Positive mental attitude. You've still got jokes. You've still got jokes. PMA. You'll get your snow far but then at some point you have to admit defeat and that's, to be honest, guys, I'm not going to get this is my limit I think. Climbing this mountain barefoot is me done. For anyone who's watching, I'm going to leave a little link in the top of the screen now to watch a video where me and Northermunk came and brewed a beer on the top of Ben Nevis. Sounds mad but it happened. Click on that if you want to see us brewing a beer at the top of Ben Nevis. Shoes on a lot. Delightful. I've done some stuff like but this rate's up there. It's quite interesting up here. All sorts of wacky stuff. Wacky memorials and that hut's brilliant to have a look in. Stub my toe on this bit. In your face. Thank you everybody. Thank you. I'm just going to stay here. Enjoy it. Nice mate. Nice effort. That's one done. Ben Nevis. Highest of the three peaks done barefoot. I just want to shout out it's in memory of Paul Warburton resting piece. This one was for you mate. Rest in peace brother. Salute. Let's get back down. Can you see us? It's just light. We're just a couple of lights now. Rikibarton. There we are Rikibarton. Is it moon behind me? La moon. La moon. We've just got past the half way mark. Making good time down. We're not doing too many updates on the way back because we're just smashing it to try and get back to truck and get off to Lake District so we'll update you in a bit. On our way to Scarfield we've got a few miles under our tyres. We're covered in mid-bites it's foggy and it's very early in the morning. So we're going to try and find some coffee try and give ourselves a little bit of a boost for heading to the Lake District. Damage report is not too bad. The bottom of my right foot hurts a little bit. Nothing else to report really as far as pain goes. What about you? So far I don't feel too bad actually. I don't feel too stiff which I was worried about. The truth will kick in when we start ascending again. We're cattle grade we're officially in 8. We're tired. We're tired but we're in the Lake District and we're 10 minutes away from where we want to be from the bottom of Scarfield Pike and the weather looks delightful. Here we are at the start of Scarfield Pike. It hurts. It hurts after Ben Nevis just getting back on horse. No expectations on this one though guys I didn't even think I would get to the top of Ben Nevis to be honest I'm just going to try and get halfway up this one and see how we get on not putting too much pressure on myself. I'll give it my best shot. Filming me bantering. My banter. Why are you laughing at it then? Why is everyone laughing at it so much? I'm laughing at you mate. I've got the best banter on this mountain. Mountain banter. Look at him. Feeling a little bit sick but we're doing it. That's Lake at the Lake at Thou. Lake at Thou. It's ruining perfectly good b-roll there mate. Lake at that making it better. To the top honey. You're a walker honey. You were a walker. You're a wanker honey. You're cooking egg on these rocks. Latching locks. This is a nice latching lock still in the bit. In the depths of this pain I still bring you this wonderful shutting system which is a natural rock attached to the chain. Does the job for you. Beautiful stuff. Foot report. Just raw. Red raw and bruised this dog. Just ligament damage really. The skin isn't broke. As long as the skin isn't broke. Over my eye. And that's toxic masculinity for you. It's deep. Fits swarming a bit around ankles and that. Caught sun. Bit raw. Feels good though. Churchill McVanta Wagon has left the building and it's just replaced with me. A husk of a man. Just trying to get to the top of his heel with her shoes on like an absolute donut weapon. Smaller than I can chew again. Just too much. Too much guys. After the kerb graph drill and Ben Nevis is just too much. Feet are hurting man. Yeah even my feet are hurting now. Summit of Scaffold Pike. It's very slow people. Summit. Summit to do with maths. Geometry. Tickle of the eye. Just tell me what you think of this grass mate. This grass has been a godsend this bit. It's still at the old stone but it's nothing compared to the main path mate. Do you feel like there's a chance you might do this mountain? Yeah. If I'm being honest with you. Oh he's let that positivity creep in. Has he let it creep in a little bit early? Yeah I know. I think I'm gonna fail miserably. But his face doesn't say that. What I think is I've come too far to quit. And if Sarah sees me quit. I'm done for. So this is for Sarah. The pure shame of it was just. The shame of it just inspired me for this last little bit because she said I was like I think I might quit at some point. She's like well you can't. She said you won't. She said you'll do it. You will do it yeah. She was very encouraging and positive and it's rubbed off on me. Let's take some of that and use it. Let's go. This is Sarah. She's doing a hundred consecutive scents of Scarfell Pike and she was a legend and she inspired me so go follow her on Instagram and if you're still doing it please support. Thanks Sarah if you're watching you're a legend. Thanks. Yeah you got this mate. I've run out of grass to walk on. Let's look at this. Hard, loose, sharp. Ouch. This is what is to come. Seems like it has saved the best till last. Or the worst if you've got no shoes on. There is no easy way now. It's just over the sharp rock. It's either over the sharp rock or you go up or you stop. That's it now. Under my palms I started sweating like they were on Ben Nevis. It's like my body is just telling me to stop. It's like sweating and saying wah, guah, brother. I thought we'd learn that lesson after Kate Raft trail. I thought we were going to have an holiday. I thought we were going to have a break. Well no. Nobody, we're not. No feet, we're not. This is just like a comparable maze and no way is the right way. There's a lot of loose stuff in there. Yeah. A lot of sharp stuff. You don't want to have a tumble. I'll just put the foot wrong. So it does take a lot of mental it takes a lot of mental concentration and it saps you in that way too. It's these medium ones that are the low bandics. You can see it now mate. Oh my god we're nearly there. Enjoy a deal of account for how down and out I was yesterday we were like no way we're going to get that done. Because the pain I can't believe I'm backing that zone now. There we are. Here we are again. There's the top. Oh my god, I feel a bit emotional. No, no, no. Save it. Save it. It's because of having no sleep and that. Do it. Oh my god. There you go. Yes mate. Another one for your brother. Treat him to a 360. Give him a 360. They deserve it. If you're sticking with us this long. Can we get some shoes on mate? Get my shoes on brother. Wow. This is the top of Scarf L mounting number two. We're just going to have a little foot inspection for all you foot fetishers out there. I've got lovely high arches. What do you think of them? They look like I don't know. They're two and car moons feet or something. Yeah, let's see the other one. I think it's just a similar story. They're two and car moons feet. Yeah, just sore man. Real sore. No blood. Not broke my skin. The toes are breaking up. So that's peak number two done. We've just come off the summit. Midges are getting us. Joe's just lathering himself up. There's my support team. He's looking after me. He's doing the filming. He's doing good for me. He's our Joseph. He's surviving. He's basically just surviving. That's it. But we saw a little plunge pool, didn't we, on the way up. And we said if we make it, we'll get down and we'll sit and we'll just sit in there for 10 minutes, 15 minutes. And cool our burns. It's finished. It feels so good on the feet. All on the legs and all. Yes brother. Get in here. Doing all nature's stuff. You know what I mean? Grounding ourselves. Grounding cold water therapy. All trendy shit. I've just stood on a fizzle. I don't know if that matters anymore. Slide down here. Nice one sliding. There you go. Come in here. He's got your little waterfall there. We've been sat in there. And it's just a natural massage. That's all. There's joy, do you look? Looks like Jesus. But it's nice just to get that level of grit and sweat off you. Soothe the feet. I don't want to be letting my feet get too wet because that'll maybe weaken the bottom of them, but nice to have a wash. This is the reward for getting to the top of Scarf Hill Pike. What a lovely swim that was. Delightful. We're walking back down in undies. And now I'm going to put my underpants. So yeah, let's talk about magic or tragic happens. We shall see thee in Wales. How's your knee holding up? That seems to do a lot of good for it. It was beginning to swell after that descent again. It's all the descent. Yeah. It's okay. So along the Lake District, the English Lake District of the beauty falloweels. Beauty falloweels. Are you feeling confident about my number three? No. Because confidence is the killer that I'll do you. I don't feel too confident. Just a little bit quietly optimistic. Yeah. Quietly optimistic. Well, two were in the bag. Because today wasn't on the cards. Today wasn't supposed to go down how it went down. No. I'd say it went down better than any of us thought. Chums. Chums. Little bridge because it's the littlest bridge. It's famous. Little. We're about to do Snowden. Joe's just putting his CBD muscle rub on his knee. And that was kindly donated to us. Smells amazing. So smell. That is nice. Got sweet almond oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, shea butter, beeswax, and lavender. Perfect. And that was kindly sent to us. Can I just take that? Kindly sent to us with some CBD oil and some CBD patches and some other bits and pieces from Kent CBD. It's an independent company. They've kindly given me a discount code for you guys. If you want to get into your CBD oils put a little bit under your tongue. It's good for sleep. They've given us a discount code. So yeah, I'll leave it downstairs. Kent CBD. Morali's low. Morali's low for me. Just my feet more than I thought they would. I thought you'd never see it. There's outdoors on bus. Buster eyes. Bottom of Snowden. The final of the three peaks. Some pinkers. I'm going to don the shirt. Which we'll talk about. When we get to the top because my feet hurt in Morali's pretty low because I thought it was going to be easy yesterday when I was on one but my feet are killing sir. It's going to be another tough day. Well this is what we're doing it for. So we're going to grit our teeth. So the bottoms of my feet are too bad. Quite seasoned in. Bit salt middle. The tops of my feet my ankles are all very swollen. My ankles and feet don't normally look like that sir. Hopefully we can hold out. The jaggy bits that grow out of the ground. Look at them. They're no fun. Yeah we're serious now. We have to finish because the calm vest is on. Campaign against living miserably. It's got serious. Yeah I'm not going to do much jokes because I've got to dig deep for this one but I'm going to leave a link below to the charity support if you can. Thank you. Bebe keep calm bebe. So there's these bits which there is no nice where to get up and rid of the ah. But looks like we might be doing it. We might get to the top I think. All barefoot. Yeah all barefoot yeah. Fair play to you jockey. Well this is the last of the free peaks mate sir. Yeah we're running on minimal sleep. And there we are. That's our destination. That's the goal. Swimming in there on the way back. Oh well. What charity? It's calm. Campaign against living miserably. It's like a mental health charity. That's amazing. It's a nice peak is it? Yeah. This is a tough section. I think it's so slippy. Ah. A twist or a fall on this bit. It's the worst thing. Right it's been hard. This is the toughest beginning to all of them. But we've just hit these steps which will get us up pretty quick and it's not too sharp. But yeah ankles are starting to go. The point is to keep thinking I'm going to be the next medic. At least people have to walk past me and just be like that. Medic! And then just upload it to the youtube channel. That's me. Full circle. Full circle medic. You're getting your ankle wedged between these bits. My word. Calm mate. Keep calm. Carry on. Campaign against living miserably. Linking bio. We'll talk about that in a bit. Is this the third of the three peaks? This is the last. The last mountain. Barefoot? Yeah. That's torturous. I'll tell you anything. I'll tell you anything. So how far we got to go is it? What do you get as far as you can see there? Is there much of the nightmare after that? No. It's like this all the way really to that bit there. Oh good. And then it's not that bad along that top bit. I've got to say that. Oh it's just the charity. I'm just doing the three peaks. This is the last one. So once I get to there I can put my shoes on and we're done. Oh my god. That's just made me go. What are we doing? Campaign against it. Good effort. Oh my god. I've gone over. We did go fell pike last week. The top of that one was tough. It was a bit jaggedy. Very jaggedy up there. My feet are swollen. They're swollen compared to mine. My ankles are swollen but there's only pain in it. Oh well done. Oh that's proper made me go all. I thought you were just enough to go. Now we know you really are. There's all these work up battlefields and none of it in the bedroom. That was one of the hardest sections of so far on your feet and that. Really difficult but and that guy just said 30 minutes for civilians. Only 15 minutes for a power ranger X power ranger like myself. Like I've always said I'm a fighter, not a lover. Sharp bits. These would end the civilians. Most civilians this bit would be where you'd be celebrating the end because you're going back down. Not me. Not the rainbow warrior. The rainbow power ranger. That's how I dance. They're all there in single coloured uniforms. Me, rainbow. You'll be right mate, we're there. The final push to the summit and far any serious injury I think we're going to get to the top. We're going to get to the top. And this is for the bay, your soul and heal. This is what this journey is called because it's a bear, your soul and heal. Spelt like this I'll put it on the screen and that's to encourage you to talk to anyone. You don't have to suffer on your own, you don't have to suffer in silence. I'll leave some numbers below to people that you can talk to if you want. Talk to your friends, talk to your family create a little sock puppet with little button eyes on it and talk to that you don't have to get carried away to the funny farm. But just talk open up, bear your soul and heal. He's quite sharp on the foot on here but he's got these big slabs that you can get on. Slabber for Christy. Not really. I wasn't going to put it back fired. Yeah, anyone going up hill's got it on. You know, right away and he was like he didn't want to move. I thought that backfired because he's looking at me like he's going to go for me. This rugby tack is off edge. I was going to go mate. I feel like that tumour and that mountain light and he could go. I did not see this in my stars when we got to the top of Ben Nevis. Break your leg up that little bit there. There you go. Three peaks barefoot. Four. Have it. Have it. Marty McFly. Well done mate. Yes mate. Well done mate. Support team. Amazing effort. Nice one. Quick cue though. Alton Towers. Let's be having your Marty McFly. Loads of Marty McFly's. There you go. Three peaks barefoot. Didn't think it would happen. With many a time I thought that wasn't going to happen. It has happened. Couldn't be happier. Joey Deaves done a sterling effort. Support team and cameraman with finally foot report. Dusty. Just looks like some sort of dusty spring field. Caveman sort of. Whatever it is. Let's get down. Let's get down, get shoes back on. These flies are a bit annoying. There's no point in me barefooting any more of this look. We are done. Whoa. Yes. Fly's a monelly. Flouch. Right. Here we go. So. He's flying, hence whatever they are. Right we're going to just get shoes on. We're going to get down this path. This is where we came all the way up here. But we're going to go the miners track. We're going to go for a proper swim. And that will be our reward for doing that. Just swirling. And just bruised really. That's all in between tours. Starting to cut up a little bit. Too bad. Right that's it. We're going to leave it here. We've come down. This is the last body of water before we finish. Shows you knuckle Joey Dees. Big up Joey Dees. That was a right effort. Thank you very much. Thank you to everybody you've sponsored. I'm just going to give you a quick background as to how this came about. It's called the bare your soul and heal challenge. There's a play on the words there, you'll get it. And it's just to encourage seagulls. It's to encourage mainly men but just anybody. If you're feeling a bit alone or a bit disbond and anything like that. If you've got any problems whatsoever bare your soul. Talk to somebody. I'll leave some links below for the Samaritans or whatever it is downstairs. Just use that. If you've got no one else to talk to use that. If you do talk to your wife, talk to your family, talk to your friends. Break the stigma. There shouldn't be a stigma around talking about mental health especially in men. All those burly men. They watch my videos of a guy so if you're listening guys and you're struggling, don't struggle in silence. The other reason I'm doing this is a couple of people reached out to me a couple of girls reached out to me and told me about their dad, Paul Warburton is his name who was a fan of my channel and used to go out in the woods and they sent me pictures of him and he had one of my t-shirts on and stuff and they told me that he sadly passed away. This was a while ago, this was before lockdown before the first lockdown they told me he passed away and they said that at the funeral they wanted to collect some money and put it towards something and they asked me if they could give it to a charity of my choice or something like that because he was a fan. So this is for this is for that and everybody at the funeral who was giving my just giving page and who sponsored me this is for you and this is in memory the whole video is in memory of Paul Warburton so resting peace brother. Sorry it's taking so long to everyone who sponsored me Covid happened I was training then Covid happened and we couldn't get out and I had a lot on so this is the first chance I've got and we did it I didn't think I was going to do it but we did it and we're here Namaste, thanks for watching Ah yes, fade to black
