JoGLE ep. 33: Crossing the Severn Bridge | detours, dead ends and dangerous roads

Follow along for Days 83 and 84 of our End-to-End hike across the UK where we crossed the famous Severn Bridge back into England and made our way to Bristol. We explored the city and had a good rest before continuing to Bath.
Hiking to Bristol turned out to be a lot harder than expected and for the first time on this hike I was seriously tempted to call an Uber (but pushed through and didn't!). Numerous footpath closures and dangerous road walking made for one of our longest days and it was one of the toughest mentally for me.
But that's the reality of a thru-hike, not everything is always great and this was just one of those day where NOTHING did go as planned. In the end, I was happy that I pushed through and walked every bit of it :)

Route:
Chepstow-Bristol (21.7mi/35km)
Bristol-Bath (15.5mi/25km)

-- In April 2023, I set off on my biggest adventure so far: A 1600mile long hike all across Britain from Dunnet Head in Scotland to Lizard Point in Cornwall. I'm going solo with my rescue dog Otto, (wild) camping along the way. --

My dream is to make a living out of my passion for being outdoors, hiking and creating videos that brighten your day! If you enjoy the videos and want to support our adventure with a treat for Otto and a coffee for me:

Your support means the world and I’m really grateful!

I’m a bit behind on posting these videos (filming and editing while on trail is quite a task!) but I'm uploading new videos every Sunday and Wednesday now so that I can catch up quickly and be more up-to-date.
Please subscribe (it’s free :)) if you want to stay up to date and support my work. That would really mean a lot!

Thank you so much!
Elli and Otto
