Couldn't agree more Anthony, every walk, no matter how you decide to walk it is about the experience. I've completed a few long-distance trails, I did the entire Pennine Way staying in BnBs and youth hostels, on other walks I've stayed on camp sites, and each walk contains special memories for me. Personally, there is nothing like staying in a nice, clean room after a long day on the trail, warm shower, comfortable bed, good food. Enjoy the rest of your adventure, it's enjoyable to watch.
@AnthonyJohnson112 күн бұрын
Thanks Maurice. It’s definitely all about the adventure, whichever way we all choose to do it. If we could guarantee the weather then I’d definitely be more open to the camping route. After a long day of walking in the rain, a warm shower and bed is definitely my preference!

Hi Anthony congratulations on finally completing the Cleveland way , I’ve been binge watching your videos over the last couple of days and really enjoyed them, shame about the weather on some of the coastal sections but there’s nothing you can do about that when you’re walking for a week is there? I did this walk in day sections over a two year period back in the late 1990’s but I think I would like to do it like you. atb mate it’s a big 👍from me

Ant, I’m loving this! So glad you chose to still do a National Trail and especially this one. I’m actually on episode 3 now but felt this one needed a comment. The Cleveland Way is not a trail I had considered but after seeing this, it’s now added to my list of to dos. I feel you made the right choice going at this time of year as opposed to later in the year. I prefer it when I can take my time enough to see some of the sights around me. In saying that, 20 miles + is something to be proud of. As a backpacker I struggle with anything over 17 miles so if I did it I’d have to plan my camping areas carefully. It does look a stunning trail though and definitely worth the hard work. Thankyou for filming and giving us a look at what to expect. I always enjoy your videos and seeing your adventures. 🙂
@AnthonyJohnson118 күн бұрын
@@lucybailey6802 It’s a fab trail. Very different from the Pennine Way but still a very good challenge, particularly the second day over the moors. That day was as tough as any I did on the PW. The camping options look decent too and should allow a longer walk than the one I did. I’d prefer to ease myself in to the trail with shorter days but it’s not really an option on the first 2 days unless you’re camping. Thanks very much for watching. Look forward to hearing about your next trail when you’ve made plans

Although the C2C is fairly busy you can certainly make your own space, obviously there will be some larger groups, but they tend to be travelling at a different pace. We didn't see anyone else on Offas Dyke (April), apart from one cafe where about 5 individuals came in at different times. Having done the PW, I will probably do it again sometime, but will first make a start on the Scottish National Trail, I like the idea that it carries on from KY.
