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!
