Adventurer takes on Britain's rudest walk

There are many reasons to undertake a long distance walk. But with 39-year-old James Forrest living in the town of Cockermouth, and his brother living in Lickey End, it seemed only right that he should walk from one to the other, adding as many rude names to the route as possible.

James undertook 11 marathons in 11 days during his innuendo-fueled hilarious hike, summiting peaks such as Great Cockup, Little Cockup and Andrew’s Knob, reports the Mirror.

He also visited woodland labelled Nanny’s Breast, a nature reserve called Nob End, and a waterway titled Bottoms Reservoir in his pursuit of pun-filled places.

And he visited crudely named streets in Cumbria, Staffordshire and the West Midlands, such as Bell End, Cocking Yard, Ten Butts Crescent, and Number 2 Passage.

“There was a certain poetry to it, with me living in Cockermouth and my brother moving to near Lickey End – and some silly banter led to a bet that I wouldn’t do it," said James.

“I hate losing so I ended up going for it, just to prove my brother wrong. 526km later and I reckon I might just have completed the UK’s rudest hike!”

The 526km journey took him from Cumbria in the north-west of England to Worcestershire in the West Midlands and included the likes of Bell End and a sculpture called Gloryhole.

“I was wandering around Bilston trying to find this sculpture,” he told the Mirror. “I didn’t want to say to someone, 'excuse me, do you know where the Gloryhole is?'”.

As well as giving people (and himself) a giggle with the challenge, he also did the walk to raise money for testicular cancer charity Baggy Trousers UK.

Adventurer James, a freelance writer who has a large Instagram following, said he came up with the hilarious idea after his brother moved home and then challenged him to take on the epic journey.

And he said his incredible trek was a fun-filled celebration of “British eccentricity and quirkiness".
