The Peak District hills are a great safe introduction for novice walkers before you graduate to Wales , The Wainwrights and the Scottish Munroes.

Cheers for this. Will watch the whole series and relive my crossing of Sep 22. I only live a few miles from St Bees so this is very familiar to me - word of warning to anyone making the trip - the shop at Cleator mentioned in the video is the only shop en route for this day (and then it's 50 or so meters down the road) - the only other places for food would be Spar (about 1/3 mile south from where you would cross the A595) or possibly a small bakery in Moor Row (easiest to find by passing the walking man statue and following the road into Moor Row - avoid the cycle path - bakery on the left).

Joe, Awesome weather and views. Although my memory tells me the weather you experienced was similar, but clearer, to 5 years ago when I walked this section, my photos do not show the mist, spray and rain that I remember - however I took very few photos, which is a sign the air was so damp I kept my camera buried inside my waterproofs or pack for most of the day. That new footpath would have helped, as I lost my way in the mist across the top - obviously becoming a National Trail has its benefits. I'm wondering when you walked this, as the weather, season, and views are uncannily similar to my experiences. My dates in 2019 were the last 3 days of September and then the first 8 days of October. Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, In contrast to you I find this drizzly, misty type of weather invigorating, atmospheric, and a delightful heightening of the wonderful sense of isolation. I probably had more days with weather like this on the C2C than not. Other than my diversion around the Northern side of Ennerdale Water (on the advice of my overnight host the night prior), your footage could have been of the route taken on the day I walked it (although I started my day 2 near Nannycatch Valley and ended at Honister). As my day 3 was from Honister to PatterdaleI'm looking forward to seeing how you fare over your next two parts. Ryk.

Joe, During a lengthy U.K. walking holiday in 2019 I walked the C2C over 11 days (my walking speed is faster than most), so this has brought back some memories. The C2C is likely my least favourite long distance trail, but your video brought back memories and with that filter of reminiscence the trail gains an added quality - almost to the point where I would consider walking it again (although there are far too many trails yet to be walked on my growing list). Whilst I appreciate the video footage from the trail I found the drone footage, although dramatic, a bit jarring - as it didn't correlate with the ground-level sights I experienced along the way. Now, off to watch the other parts of this walk that you've put up on YT to assist in remembering the better parts of this walk. Cheers, Ryk.

Really enjoying your series on the c2c . Yours and Pipes hikes series are by the far best on KZbin

Hi Joe. Very much enjoyed this beautiful walk with so much variety. I'm impressed with all of the different types of terrain you see on this wonderful trail. Thank you for the great job you do in showing this to us. Praying the Lord will bless you and your family in the coming year.

Brilliant video! I miss this area so much. Its such a beautiful area. Atb

I remember staying in Rosthwaite about 35 years ago and it rained non-stop for three days. Rosthwaite became an island at one point because of the flooding. That was when I learned to stop moaning about bad weather and see it as an opportunity to experience 'a different kind of awesome'. You're shots of the cascades reminds me of that time. Thanks for rekindling the memories.

Enjoying this series Joe - as i do all your content of course 🙂 Did you do this continuously or in bit sized sections as leave allowed ? Any thoughts on doing a vid on logistics ? Transport to start & from finish (or end of section) ? Kit carried ? Accommodation (you didn't appear to be camping) ? Did accommodation determine the days distances ? Average speeds (discounting filming) & things like that.

Yet another great video. Took a break with a coffee and have really enjoyed this. Love that you don't kill yourselves to put the miles behind you as some walkers do. I walk what is comfortable too as I want to enjoy it not feel rushed to get to another point on the map! Thank you. Ought to add love all the historical info too.

Really enjoying watching these videos x

Appearing in Country Life January 1981 it shows the last occupants of Crackpot Hall pictured in 1937…”one of The highest inhabited houses in England at 1500 feet. At that time house in good shape. Had been built as a hunting lodge for a noble hard in the Is. Hackers will find it difficult to imagine.”

Hi Joe. Another wonderful look at this beautiful part of God's Creation. I've been impressed with the diversity of scenery. As always, a great job of filming (from the ground and above), and very interesting narration. Look forward to part 9! (Check your channel's email for a Christmas eCard. 🙂)

Made a coffee and sat down to enjoy this next part. Wonderful photography as always. Thank you! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas 🌲🌲🌲

Stunning scenery! 🙂

Hi Joe. What a beautiful section - thank you for sharing it with us. While I always like a trail "in the open", this one had that plus views. Appreciate the great way you filmed and narrated this section. God Bless!

We have been away travelling for the past few weeks ( South America) and have so enjoyed getting back and catching up with your coast to coast walk. The photography work is stunning, thank you. Really enjoy your walks and look forward to Part 7 of the coast to coast.

Really enjoyed your video and others. They deserve a lot more likes

Nice video. I'm planning to walk it myself next year as far Castle Acre then join onto the peddars way up Hunstanton

Hi Joe. Very much enjoyed this film and the scenery provided. While I enjoy mountains, this area was equally beautiful and interesting. I'm always impressed with your films due to: 1. Quality of filming 2. The way you produce the film, combining aerial with ground-based 3. Your excellent narration and providing the details of what is being shown These combine to make for a very enjoyable film for a hiker like me, about the best I've seen. Looking forward to the next Coast to Coast film (part 7). God Bless!

Excellent job!!!

That very day (my wife’s birthday) we were on our third day of walking having done the Dodds and Clough Head the first day when we had snow on the tops and heavy rain low level. The second day was on Sheffield Pike and the weather was awful with snow making visibility very poor. So for my wife’s birthday we did High Rigg and the snow covered tops looked wonderful but it soon cleared as you said in this video. Happy days.

Absolutely stunning scenery, what a beautiful walk in this section, great drone footage to, really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing your journeys 😎

Hi Joe. Watched this series again and very much enjoyed it - AGAIN! 🙂 I was impressed on your excellent filming skills, and the way you showed so much of the trail and its surroundings. Your skills were also seen in the narration and the unique way you finished with the arial display of you both. Nicely done, and thank you for such an excellent channel. God Bless to you both!

Amazing section today’s. So nice to revisit a walk that I last did 54 years ago and which my body wouldn’t do now. Felt like I was accompanying you. Seems like yesterday. Thank you so much.

best advice I have is on a hot day leave early and get the climbing done in the cool morning. Thanks for a nice walk. 😀😀🚶‍♂🚶‍♂

Hi Joe. What a beautiful section this is, thank you for sharing it with us. As usual, very good narration, filming, and scene composition. Also mpressed with your walking such a long ways in sometimes challenging terrain. Well done, and God Bless!

stop the music please.

Very nicely done Joe! What wonderful scenery in addition to your great filming and narration. Look forward to the next part! Thanks for this wonderful series.

Excellent videos you have a very professional approach. My husband said the same.

Shame about the weather Joe, but you managed to capture some great footage of the rivers and especially the beautiful waterfalls. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Joe. I continue to really enjoy what you are showing us on this walk and video series! If I could have come to Britian and hiked, this is the one I'd have liked to have done (or perhaps the Cleveland Way). Since I can't, I can d so with you - thank you for that. Sorry about the bad weather. Thankful you were prepared with appropriate clothing, and had the courage to get through the high waters. I am very impressed with the beauty of these mountains! I'm accustomed to the mountains along the Appalachian Trail, with rarely offer any open areas as you showed here. Prayers for you to be blessed with safety and success in your journey!

That looked like one of the most loneliest walks in recent memory...which means I can't wait to do it! Seriously, a lot I mean a LOT of water throughout; who built the stone keeps? Are they for the sheep? And what is that barren place at this part of the video...kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uqYnqNp5qMoJo Greenup Edge did you say?

Great quality film despite the weather Joe - well done 👏🏻 And remember: a bad weather day in the hills/outdoors is always better than a good weather day while in an office / in the city. Hope you & your companion kept each others spirits up a humour levels high

Very nice video mate looks damp ther looks like you are having fun there 😀Don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍👍

I completed the essex way. I am very grateful to the harwich waterfront for letting me in to eat and drink. ( marine parade harwich, within sight of the 'way. Boy oh boy oh boy. Was i a right messy state after trekking in from wrabness.

What a beautiful video! I did the C2C in September 2023, staying in B&B/inns, so it’s nice to see a video that doesn’t focus on trekking/camping. Our Day 1 was very wet, and Dent was a tough climb in fog and driving rain; visibility was barely 100 feet (when you dared raise your head to face the rain). Someday I hope to get back and do an out-and-back to Dent from Ennerdale Bridge. I had no idea we also missed a stone circle, too, so now I, even more keen to go back. BTW, the maps are very helpful.

Hi Joe - great video! Where is the location at 0:04? Thanks!

Thank you Joe. Very much enjoying this detailed look at this wonderful path. Looking forward to the next videos!

Enjoyed the shot of Pillar Rock looming above in the mist... Ennerdale to Borrowdale is one of the best ways to enter the Lake District.

Another nice video, thanks for sharing. On our leg from Ennerdale, 34 years ago, we started in sunshine, encountered a downpour just before Angler’s Crag and by the time we reached the decision point at High Gillerthwaite the sun was out again. We decided to take the high road and started the climb up to Red Pike. Half way up we endured a heavy hailstorm and had to sit it out for about 20 minutes. If we had followed your route my mate may not have fallen and perhaps we may have eventually reached Robin Hood's Bay. When we decended from Seat to Scarth Gap we looked up at Hay­ Stacks and decided that the climb might be too much for my friend’s leg and decided to continue past Black Sail Hut. Little did we realise that the climb up Loft Beck was probably worse. All the best, Peter.

Brilliant video as always Joe - looking forward to the rest of the series 👍

Really enjoyed the first 2 parts. What navigation did you use please? Pete

hello, this video is very nice. would you mind if i used some of the aerial footage of the walls in a video im gonna make about anglo-saxon burhs?

Another great video. Thanks for sharing my

We love Ickworth & are lucky enough to live on that side of Bury St Edmunds. My wife (ex nurse who once photobombed you 😂) now works there in the Welcome Team. Well done for picking a day she must not have been working !

Thank you so much for posting. I have to boast, I have walked all the Munros in Scotland, (I am now a pensioner), so have experienced a lot of hills. For a number of years I lived in Cheshire and walked Berwyn a small number of times. These lesser known hills can be the more rewarding. Indeed Berwyn belies its true height as it has the atmosphere of just one big hill. In fact a lump of useless information, in terms of size, Berwyn is the largest, the range covers a huge expanse on the map and is a fascinating not to mention enjoyable walk.

I did the C2C in August. Great to re-live the memories. Great video

Wow this video brought back some great memories. 34 years ago back in May 1990 my late pal and I picked up a stone from the beach at St. Bees Head and made our way to Robin Hood's Bay. Unfortunately my pal fell on the ridge from Red Pike and only lasted 3 more days before we had to give up. All the best, Peter.
