This is Day 2, and the terrain is already taking its toll. The poles for the trailer keep shaking loose, forcing constant stops and pushing my patience to the absolute limit. And when they finally break still 80 odd miles from the finish... well, you'll have to watch to see exactly what happens and how I handle the fallout.
Can a trailer (and me!) handle the ultimate 100-mile Dartmoor & Exmoor challenge? 🥾⛰️
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Two Moors Way, I am taking on my ultimate backpacking challenge: walking over 100 miles from Ivybridge all the way to Lynmouth.
Here is the thing—I am not a long-distance walker. Normally, I consider a 5 to 10-mile hike to be "hard," so throwing myself into a 100-plus mile trek is completely uncharted territory. To make things even more interesting, instead of a traditional backpack, I am using a specialized trekking trailer to haul all of my wild camping gear across some of the UK's toughest terrain.
Will this gear failure end the expedition early, or can I patch things up and push through?
