 Sometimes life is like getting 100 metres into a 42 kilometre marathon and accidentally stepping knee-high into a puddle, make it a muddy puddle and then having to complete the rest of the marathon in those shoes, I mean, could you imagine it? But I reckon some people would just laugh it off. People who see life as being a glass half full would laugh it off. But that's Cooper's knob. I'm almost, yeah, very, very close to being three miles in. I'm going to put my phone away for a decent amount of time. I'll come back with you when I've got some news. But that last mile was 22 minutes 38, so let's keep going. Hey, what's up you guys? Welcome back to another video. Today I bring you once again Banks Peninsula. I was parked right here about a week ago, taking you guys overnight in that van around the corner and up the road a wee bit. I had a fantastic time. In fact, I've taken that van overnight again, probably about four or five times. And the date is Wednesday the 5th of January 2022. So guys, I'm off once again to my favorite spot, the sign of the Bell Bird. I'm going to spend another night in the van. That's a given, but what's not a given is what I'm going to get up to tomorrow. So I'm going to try my very best to hike, slash run, slash walk, slash crawl if need be. And look, we've actually got a fellow mountain dweller right there. Anyways, guys, I'm actually going to get burned to a crisp. It's a scorcher. Well, it's not a scorcher, but as far as temperature, but as far as what the sun does to my skin. Although recently, I mean, a lot of people have said I'm looking quite brown, parts of my body anyway. Maybe not my face. I'm not sure. Anyways, guys, I'm super excited to endeavor on a 20 mile hike, slash run, slash walk, slash crawl. Like I said, a 20 mile hike around the summit of this crater along the crater rim walkway. And so I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning, bright and early, about quarter to six when the sun comes up. I'm going to make myself a nice coffee. I'm going to sit down with you guys and we're going to map out a bit of a plan. A 20 mile hike. I don't know how long it's going to take, but it is up and down. There is quite a bit of elevation, not so much in one go, but certainly going up and down at quite an angle. Anyways, guys, this is for fun. This is for entertainment purposes only. It's time to continue along to our parking spot for the night. And I'll see you soon wherever that may be. You know what, guys, I'm going to utilize some nice shade because in our eventual parking spot called the sign of the Bell Bird, there is absolutely no shade. But what I have found here is a nice, well actually, there does seem to be a gate. But I'm just going to chill here for a bit. Well, alright then. That is officially number 2016 Summit Road. So in a place like Christchurch, you can never predict the weather. Even the weatherman doesn't know when it's going to rain. It could literally be raining tonight. In fact, I do think it's going to be raining in the morning. But for now, for now, guys, this is pretty much as good as you're going to get. It's summer's day in Christchurch. I mean, you can't really see me, but hopefully you can see the colour of the sky. Have you got my? No, absolutely not. It's all good. There's not much shade along here, so... No, that's why I'm taking advantage of this. Shade is far. Good idea. Well, that's interesting. I just came across a cyclist who did the exact same thing as me. You know, it stopped in the shade for the reason that there is hardly any shade along this road. So apparently she's going from a place called Beckenham, which is on the Christchurch side, on the flat, probably about two or three k's away from the bottom of the hill. And she's gone all the way from there to the bottom of the hill, you know, cycled all the way up that road that I was on. And she's come along here and she's going to go all the way along down the hill at another spot to a place called Tytap. And I dare say that's a decent cycle. That's a decent workout. Not something I'm ready to do. But interestingly enough, she said that she can't run, unfortunately, because her knees stuffed. Or at least she can walk, she can hike. She can pretty much do anything that doesn't require... I mean, she can cycle, obviously. She can do anything that doesn't require the leg and the knee to be, you know, having that jarring impact. And so apparently after about 100 metres, her knees or her knee starts playing up. But what she can do, at obviously a pretty decent level, is cycle. So that's really interesting. You know, if I do have knee problems, then it's not all over. You know, and I like to hear that. I don't know how old she is. She's probably like 40 or something, South African woman. But you know, to me, that's reassuring. Because if I do have knee problems, that do take me out of running. Cycling wouldn't be too bad. I'm not going to lie. You can definitely access some pretty epic places. And what goes up must come down. And if you cycle up a hill, and then you can come down the other side, I'm sure that'll be heaps of fun. But that'll have to wait. Tomorrow, it's hiking. Tell you what, this is living. This is living. You can't see much, can you? Still not sure. Well, jeez. Right guys, I'm just going to finish off my snack here. Don't you just love Kettle's chips? Are they a New Zealand thing? Australia slash New Zealand? I'm not sure. Anyways guys, here we are in the car park. This will be my final destination. Hang out down the road there for a good three hours actually. It was quite nice. But here we are. We've got three other neighbors. Not sure if they'll be here for the night. Most likely not. I'm not sure where they are. Because there's no one around. Tomorrow morning, the planners get a good rest, get a good rest, wake up about 5.30 in the morning, get my coffee going, get my shoes on, my hat on, my sunblock on, my Garmin smartwatch tracking device on. GPS tracking device. Which is mean because I don't have to use any apps on my phone whilst running anymore. So it doesn't drain my battery as much. So what I can do is just use my smartwatch to track the entire run. That's better. So what I can do now is just use my watch. I could literally go out for a walk or a run or a swim. Doesn't matter what it is. And I could track it directly from my watch. Where are we? I can track it directly from my watch and it's gonna log it automatically without having to have a phone connection. So what I can do now is I can utilize my entire phone battery for music rather than use its GPS capabilities and basically drain the battery because I'm using a tracking app. And I found that out. I was actually really, really lucky. It goes back to when I did my first marathon. I think my phone battery must have been at about 85% when I started the race. Literally. You couldn't get any closer than this. So I had to stop listening to music for the last, like, hour which was torture. But the reason was, and it did come in handy is because my phone battery was dying extremely quickly. And so I just crossed the finish line. I just managed to stop the activity. So I logged the marathon in Strava. I took one selfie across the finish line and then my phone was dead and I was like, holy shit, thank you. Thank you for allowing me to log that run. Because if my phone had a run out of battery like, you know, even a couple of, you know, meters before the finish line, if I just if I wasn't able to log that run, it would have really pissed me off. But it just goes to show, you know, using your GPS for an extended period of time, as well as music can and will drain your phone battery. Anyways, guys, learn from my mistakes. I won't do that again. And I won't have to because I've got this. Anyways, the plan is to take off in the morning. 20 miles, which is around about 32 kilometers. And I'm assuming it's probably going to take in the ballpark of around 6 or 7 hours. So that should be fun. Anyways, guys, I'm going to chill out, have a bit more food. Crack a crack a beverage, actually. Because I'm allowed. It's the new year, guys. That's the new year. The festive season. I'm feeling festive. You know, these long summer evenings in New Zealand special. And I'm grateful. And I'm grateful for you guys. Anyways, I'll see you soon. What's up, guys? It's me again. I'm not going to lie. Discipline needs work. Tell you what, this van is so cozy. Seriously. When you're all tucked up and you roll this way and then you wake up and it's like, oh shit, I've got to get up in a couple of hours. I'll just roll the other way and just go back to sleep. And then it's 7.30 in the morning. When you're meant to get up at 5.45, it happens. Things like this happen. Seriously, guys, would you want to get up right now? Would you? No, you wouldn't. Or maybe you would if you're crazy like me and you're going to do 20 miles on the hiking trails, which is exactly what I've got to get my shit together to go and do. So that's what we're going to get started with. Got to get my shit together. I've got to get my caffeine in. Got to put my shoes on, etc, etc. It's 7.30 in the morning. Give me a break. Let's get going. Right, guys. We're off to a good start. Teeth are done. Coffee's done. The view's fantastic. Although it's not as good as it was yesterday. So I'm glad. I'm glad I got the camera out yesterday at the very least and showed you guys what this place can look like on a really good day. This morning? Not so much. In fact, it's raining. It is fucking bitterly cold. It certainly won't be looking for any shady spots this morning. It is cold. The rain's coming through, albeit very light. But it is 7.49. I'm going to sit here, enjoy my coffee, enjoy the last 10 minutes of the view and I'm going to set it off for 8 o'clock. Once again, thank you for being here, guys. This video is not for any monetary gain. Basically, it's to set myself a challenge. I do best when I've got challenges to complete and 20 miles, guys, on the crater rim walking track is one of those challenges. So I'll give you a look at what I can see. How's that? So this, my friends, is what I look like from this angle. That's what I look like from that angle. This is what I can see. So, uh, yeah. Oh, cannot wait to drink this. But yeah, that's it, guys. You'll be getting pretty familiar with this place. I know I am. So, the plan is if I can wake up prior to leaving is, um, if I can, uh, the plan is, okay. What is the plan? Sorry to rack my brain there for a second. My plan is to leave all my camera equipment here in the car, lock it up and use my phone as my camera whilst walking. Which would be extremely useful and the picture's pretty damn good, too. So, I'll see you guys on the road. One and all. Thank you for being here and let's get this shit underway. I start moving. Fuck, it's cold. They call these windbreakers. Ain't breakin' nothin'. But I have been enjoying my little, uh, hood here when need be. It sits right on the edge of a cap and I absolutely love it. So, we'll do this up. Not sure how I'm gonna get my headphones on now. But that's all right. Packin' the bag. I'm not gonna go completely empty-handed. That would be silly. What we're gonna take in the form of food is one, one square meal bar in there. I've got an apple. I've got a berry smoothie drink. I've got a 1.5 liter of water. We'll get that apple out. Actually, you know what? We're gonna leave that here. Fuck that. I don't want that. I don't particularly want to be taking enough at all. But I will. All right, so we've got the water. We've got the one square meal bar. One apple. One plum. I'm gonna take some chips. I reckon that's about it. I reckon 1.5 liter of water for now will be okay. Well, actually, let's make it three. Let's make it three. So this is probably, I don't know, ooh, yeah, it's got a bit of weight to it. It's probably gonna be about, I don't know, 12 pounds. Something like that. So, it's not gonna be as light as the first time I did it, but we are hiking and, you know, people hike through the trails and the, well, people hike through life, metaphorically, with a big backpack on their back. But not just metaphorically. People do, do things like this for miles and miles and days and days on end with their entire camp on their back. There's no Sherpas around here. We're in Christchurch. Wouldn't mind a Sherpa though. Alright. Yeah. Oh no, it's not too bad. That'll be fine. That'll be absolutely fine. Oh. Can't forget that. Sunblock. In fact, I'd probably be best, believe it or not, just to put a little bit on, which I'll use the camera for, on my face. Oh wow, we've gone heavy. I'm not playing football. I'm going hiking. Jeepers. Jeepers, creepers. That was yeah, a little, a little too liberal. Sunglasses. Good time at 7.58. Put this back on. Drink this. I'm going to need one more of these. Not going to lie. Ah fuck, did it again. Alright my friends, the time has come. It's time to lock the van and head up that way. So I'll see you guys at mile number 1. Let's go. Alright guys, I'm not, I'm not saying I'm going to give this much detail every single mile, but for the first mile, I feel like it's about to tick over just over 18 minutes. There we go. 18.12. I'll take it. This is where we're at. It's well, it looks as if I'm in Kansas. Does it? Or doesn't it? I'm not sure. Anyways guys, here we go. Just over 18 minutes. 18 minutes 12. Mile number 1. I've basically been just taking it relatively easy, keeping my heart rate around about 120. Maximum. I've jogged a couple of the downwards sloped areas and here we go. Look at this shit. I mean, credit to the track builder, because it's pretty obvious, but yeah, not in Kansas anymore. So I'll continue up to the top. We're 1.7Ks now. Sitting at about a solid 12.5 minute pace per kilometer going uphill, which is probably around about 5Ks per hour. So I'll catch you later. I'm thinking we're closing in on mile 2 which should be in 16 minutes and something, possibly 17. Just. 16 minutes 14 seconds. That is the fastest mile so far. All good. What's up guys? We're on our way. 3.6Ks, which is just over 2 miles. The views well, it looks like we're still in Kansas on that side, but on this side it is pretty cloudy but it still looks cool. Anyways, what I wanted to talk to you about was in the distance on top of that hill is a marker and I believe they have markers like these to signal the peak of the mountain or possibly even a mountain range. I'll have to check that, but what we're going to do is head right up the top. We're going to touch that and continue on our way because I think it's out of our way, so to speak. It's called Cooper's Knob and I'll see you at the top. There she is. Careful up here. There's no one to save me. Gotcha. Cooper's Knob. What a sight. Well, oh shit. It's pretty windy. I'm not sure if you can hear me, but maybe that's Cooper's Knob. I don't know about you, but the mountain and the distance looks a little bit more like a knob. In fact, there's a few knobs around these parts. I never actually knew how many there were. But what I'm going to do, shit, I'm just going to try and hide from the wind here. I've got a couple of things to look up. I'll be back with you in just a minute. Alright guys, two pieces of information. You learn something new every day and today I've learned two things. Number one, we are 573 meters above sea level, which is over 15, 1600 feet, which is far cool to be fair. But anyways, that's number one. Number two, that marker that we see at the top here is to coincide with maps. And on a map, obviously you see the summit, you see a marker at the summit. If you reach the marker, you're effectively at that point on the map. And that makes a whole lot of sense. So these are these would be extremely useful, especially in places where there's no reception and you're all on your own. Now I am all on my own, but I do have reception thankfully. Makes you want to get out there. It really does. Anyways, 573 meters above sea level and we continue. We are we're in rainforest, or at least it feels like it. Well, we were. But what beautiful surroundings. It's just a pissy. That once again, my choice of shoe isn't very waterproof. But you know, you live and live. I'm really enjoying this. Really, really enjoying this. My legs are feeling, you know, pretty damn good. Surprisingly. I mean it's early days and obviously I'm taking my time to talk about heart rate. Yeah, you got to be careful. I should put my phone away, but I don't want to. Yeah. Choice of shoe on a dry day. Okay. On a wet day. No. But I complained honestly. I've already thought of this. I've had time nearly being on the road for 55 minutes. The last time I came out I got disheartened because my feet got wet and I turned around. Right. And on my way back I actually forgot about my feet because I was feeling so good. And when I got back to the car I was like what the fuck I could have kept going. I'm like I'm not even feeling it. Obviously it's something you just got to get used to. And on things like marathons, ultramarathons, hikes. I'm going to come up against some adversity and it's all about poshing on. And so today my feet are soaked again. But there's no way I'm going to turn back because you've just got to deal with it. And that's a lesson I learnt the last time I did this. I mean I'm no pussy. But I thought do I really have to deal with wet shoes, wet socks? Yeah, sometimes you do. Sometimes life is like getting 100 metres into a 42 kilometre marathon and accidentally stepping knee-high into a puddle. Make it a muddy puddle and then having to complete the rest of the marathon in those shoes. I mean, could you imagine it? But I reckon some people would just laugh it off. People who see life as being a glass half full would laugh it off. I'm not going to say I'm I'm not going to guarantee anything. It's dependent on food for me. But that's Cooper's knob. I'm almost very very close to being three miles in. I'm going to put my phone away for a decent amount of time. I'll come back with you when I've got some news. But that last mile was 22 minutes 38, so let's keep going. I tell a lie well, this is some news it's a freaking call. This is a forest. This is sick. By the way, if anyone was wondering I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm not going to hold my breath for you guys to even still be here, but for those who are if you're wondering how I'm passing the time for this first part of it I'm listening to our old mate Joe Rogan and it's his latest podcast well, one of his latest ones and it's with Tim Dillon and as a lot of conversations go, not only on Joe Rogan's podcast but in my life too the first thing you talk about or if not the first, definitely the second is the virus and differing opinions and majority versus minority and look it's definitely people and I'm going to admit for the first time basically I'm going to admit to myself, I'm going to admit to you guys it's finally caught up with me the whole situation, COVID not being in control affecting plans certainly affected my plans and something I've been well, a doll that I've had in my head for a long time but seriously oh shit now where do we go down here we're on the road guys I couldn't be completely sure if we're on the right track or not I hope we are I feel like we are if we're not then we're stuck in the labyrinth that's the vibes I get but the cool thing is guys the best thing is the fact that we're up we're up and at it it's only nine in the morning, we've already been hiking for an hour we've seen so many things we've learnt two new facts life is good right, life is good the only thing missing is sharing this with someone but that'll come in time anyways, back to my plans being affected by COVID the whole thing's finally caught up with me I'm feeling frustrated, depressed stuck at the mercy of certain select governments being New Zealand and the United States so that is what it is guys anyways, I'll see you I'll see you a bit later on because something like that could happen I could have just hung myself there that wouldn't have been good alright guys so it was the correct route that's the fence, it continues all the way up to the top of there the path is pretty much non-existent if I just woke up from a coma not that that's a laughing matter but let's say it's a self-induced alcohol, coma toast state and I woke up in the middle of this tear field I wouldn't know how the hell I got here there's literally hardly any path I'm going to turn around now we're at about three and a half miles I'm going to turn around now, this is the end of this path I'm going to continue trying to I'm no track maker put it that way but we've made it a fair way that's actually, I haven't really looked back since leaving and these are the moments aren't they where you turn around and you admire just how far you've come in life and from Cooper's knob anyways guys look I am turning around should I? jeez, you know what if it wasn't for you guys being here I would certainly be turning around but for some reason I want to get up to the top come with me come with me, let's see what the track's like maybe it just hasn't been walked on for a while I tend to think that the top of it's closed that's what I was thinking maybe that's just wishful thinking negative thinking though can't be doing that so we will continue thanks to your guys support so thanks in advance alright, that's about enough fuck getting to the top there's been about 3 or 4 spots that I literally have not known where to go I am indeed making my own path now and if I don't stop soon I may bite off a little more than I could chew just jokes anyway time to go back down my own path we'll call it Jacob's path there's already Jacob's ladder Jacob's path I had Jacob's beach when I was a kid that was pretty cool but yeah, we're going to make our way all the way along that fence line along the ridge line and not go up to Cooper's we're going to stop about there and continue all the way down to the car and on now what guys this may be obvious this may be obvious but what I've just done could be one of the stupidest things I've done in a while I could have just stuck to the side here I could have just stuck to the fence line the entire time I've literally gone this way that way like this roundabout couple of circles and then finally made my way up here by the looks of things I could quite easily just hit up the fence line and finally make it to the top you see that that is a metaphor if I ever did see one for perspective being down there looking up I couldn't see that for some reason I just simply couldn't see that didn't make sense to do that for me but now being up here looking back knowing what I went through and from this perspective the path is clear the route is obvious whatever this metaphor means for you guys take it put it in your pocket and save it for a rainy day can you guys can you see anything what do you reckon worth it is it I don't know yes it is every time I put the camera away oh man no there's a massive prickle bush where am I going it's time guys it is time what's up guys we're taking a break the first break of the hike we covered exactly 11km it's been up and down as you guys know I'm just having a wee snack I had my plum I'm going to have my apple now get some water on board and then we'll continue the other way right my friends we continue the journey 11.1km into it of an eventual 32 which seems like a daunting task but there's only one thing to do and that's to do what this guy is doing and get into it so yeah let's go let's do it that's where I went before this is where I'm going now oh shit oh good oh can't be front there he goes a man in his natural habitat if I ever did see it anyways guys I'm going to follow him believe it or not I've actually reached the exact spot that I pulled up at yesterday afternoon it was right there and there was a car parked here for a wee walk and obviously they've gone for a walk up there so not only is it the spot that I parked at yesterday but it's also it's also my glimpse of a wild animal and there she is she he I couldn't even be sure but they are sheep New Zealand's well known for its sheep farming lamb wool and all the rest of it anyway I'm just trying to work out which is the way to go and I'm thinking it's over here so it was four and a half K's from the sign of the bell bird to the sign of the kiwi so we must have done around about three kilometres let's keep going so we're crossing Diaz Pass Road which is the road that goes over the hill and it's the road that I took to get up here and that building up there is called the sign of the kiwi and what we're going to do is cross the road and continue along the crater rim walkway for another five kilometres then I'm going to turn around come back and by the time I get back to the car it should be around about 32 kilometres or in other words 20 miles what's up guys I couldn't lie to you that's not what this channel is about I decided to turn back 20 miles is indeed biting off just a little bit more than well not my lungs but certainly my legs can handle can't handle 20 miles on the trails certainly not these ones they're pretty rugged man I'm not sure what kind of racing especially the route that we did first I'm not sure what kind of difficulty there is or even if there is one there's got to be one but surely that's like at least intermediate couple of shaky moments couple of sketchy steps on the wrong thing at the wrong time almost fell haven't fallen touch wood but I think we're about like 200 metres away from the car and we've just walked over 20 kilometres, 4 hours, 20 km you know my my legs are feeling it I brought my massage gun which I've just bought I brought it with me and I bought it online so I'm going to get that out and give it a go, especially my calves my hamstrings and my glutes and my quads everything so thank you once again the cloud has gone somewhat so if I turn you round here we can again see the harbour so I'll see you back at the car right guys, we're back on the good camera I like this better even if the picture is not as sharp I just like the aspect anyways, in other news I'm absolutely starving it's um well actually put that down there I just stopped my watch, I forgot to stop it when I got back which pissed me off but all in all 4 hours 15 minutes 20.47 km averaging 12 and a half minute which is pretty damn slow but we are hiking and what's that, 2,273 calories jeepers that's not bad by the way don't go past a chip sandwich seriously, get your favourite flavour chip butter your bread up nice and thick and give it a go yourself could be because I just burnt two and a half thousand calories and I'm extremely hungry or it could be because it tastes delicious either way, that's lunch and just like that with the power of YouTube and the power of editing and also the power of the internet because if you or I didn't have the internet you wouldn't be watching this, we're back it's the next day, today's Friday the 7th yesterday was Thursday the 6th and we're back on dry land guys we're back in my my little YouTube studio editing the video I've probably put in about 3 or 4 hours already you wouldn't know that, you wouldn't know would you even when there's very low levels of editing on a video it still takes time because you've got to watch the clips back, I mean yeah you've got to make sure you don't embarrass yourself too much I just wanted to use this opportunity to close out the video to let you guys know how much I appreciate your support on the channel to let you guys know that I did indeed hike slash jog at times a total of almost 13 miles so it was 20 20.47 kilometers in a total time of 4 hours and 15 minutes but a total moving time of 3 hours and 20 minutes so 20.47k is almost 30 miles in 3 hours 23 minutes going if I didn't stop if I didn't stop and I pushed myself I reckon I could probably do 20 miles in just under 5 hours so that might be a challenge that might be our next challenge to go equipped to go prepared with both footwear, weather water was huge, water was important I probably got through about 2 litres of water on my travels, I took 3 so now I know, I was getting a dry mouth probably within about 45-50 minutes of starting and I was like shit I need to stop I'm going to take a wee rest, get my water out have a drink and you do need fuel you need fuel in the form of food, drink and mindset and I had all 3 so for any of you statheads out there you'll know how much I enjoy my stats so I'm going to run through some with you we had a total elevation change a total ascent of 1,033 metres that's over a kilometre of climbing over 3,000 feet pretty happy with that 2,273 calories burnt which is I'm going to say probably around about the amount that I burnt in my marathon late 2020 so it was a decent amount of calories really blown away and it's these times where you're sort of set out on a run or a walk or whatever and you're not thinking about calories you're literally not thinking about it you're just thinking about getting from point A to point B when you get back and you look at how many calories you've actually burnt due to your heart rate being spiked at certain times it's amazing absolutely incredible so over 2,000 calories burnt 20.5Ks, my fastest mile for anyone wondering was we had a fair few in the 15s but my fastest mile was mile 6 and it was done in 14 minutes 33 seconds mile 6 my fastest kilometre interestingly enough was 8 minutes and 18 seconds which you know is I mean it's jogging it's jogging lightly in my opinion a cruising pace for me is about 6 minutes per K on the flat you know being at 8 minutes obviously hiking going up and down it's not bad, we had 1 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 6 of the 20 kilometres were done within the 8 to 9 minute range which means that you know I'm not it's faster than a walk and when you are going up and down you do have over a thousand metres of climbing it's not bad, I mean I'm happy, how could you not be happy you've just done 20 kilometres along an extinct volcano so it was fun moving time was officially 3 hours 22 minutes 56 seconds an average pace whilst moving of just under 10 minutes per kilometre average cadence 131 steps per minute and look if anyone does want to check out my Strava please do because the cool thing with a Garmin smartwatch a Garmin GPS smartwatch is that it not only uploads the activity to the Garmin app but I've also connected it to my Strava app so all I have to do is press start and stop on here and automatically like I mentioned at the start of this video the data gets transferred over to those 2 apps and you know you can have a look at it I mean I'm not going to lie I love looking at stats I really do and it's something you can always look forward to have at the end of an activity doesn't matter where it is doesn't matter how long it is as long as you put effort into it you're going to enjoy coming back looking at your phone and looking back on your stats you're going to enjoy it you're going to get out what you put in so if you put effort into something this is the way that I get out what I put in and it's through reading my statistics and obviously don't don't get too into the stats because at the end of the day what's going to happen if you go out there and you do a 4 hour activity and the data is corrupted what's going to happen then it's not all about the stats I wish I could have gone out there without having to feel like I needed to sort of track what I was doing but that's not me, it's not the way I do things and it's never going to be so thank you whether I do a marathon next, a half marathon an ultra marathon or a hike who knows whatever it is if it's a physical activity I'll be bringing it to the channel thanks for watching guys once again thank you for the support a whole lot of fun walking around my backyard at the end of the day I'm doing this and I've mentioned this in previous videos I want to be more grateful for my surroundings I want to be more in touch with nature and with the scenery we've got around here because we are incredibly lucky to have it and it's something that until I moved away for a period of years and since come back I was never going to appreciate but I do now so thanks guys and I'll see you in the next video peace out
