Loved watching this series. Well done 🎉

Brilliant video. Brought back happy memories of my own CTC walk. I often think of doing it in reverse.

This was wonderful. I live in this area but haven't walked nearly as much of it as you did. The hill out of Grosmont deserves a medal!

Joe - What a wonderful ending to a wonderful hike. When you walked down into the water's edge I felt very happy for you. I thoroughly enjoyed watching each part, looked forward to the notification when they were posted. I plan to tell other hiking friends about this series (and the one on Hadrian's Wall). Look forward to more of your fine filming and narration. God Bless, and thanks for all you do for the hiking community!

This is brilliant. Love all the drone. What a place! The expedition food meals are amazing as well 👌🏻

ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS!!! Well done to both of you completing a challenging walk in challenging weather. ❤

Congratulations Joe and Alice, quite an achievement. You certainly had a variety of scenery, terrain and, especially weather. Thank you so much for sharing.

Brilliant series! Tried to do as many miles on my exercise bike while binge watching your journey....needless to say failed miserably! A great watch nonetheless, well done!

Thank you, yet another series of excellent films. Utilising excellent camera and drone work, then when allied to well researched historical info that really make these a collection of films special. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Joe, Thanks for taking us on the journey with you, and for bringing back the memories. I got to see more of the route through your footage than I did in person when I did it, as you had clearer weather than I. I'll keep an eye out for whatever trail you put up next, and hopefully we will meet on the trail in Norfolk (which I've planned for mid to late August at this point). Ryk.

Congratulations!!!

Let me add my humble voice to your incredible accomplishment! You have some beautiful images in this one, especially this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5LZpGppZdeNnqs with a dramatic sky as a backdrop!

Many many congratulations on your completion of the C to C. I have thoroughly enjoyed it all. Not only the lovely camera and drone footage, but also all the information, both historical and local, that you provided. It brought back so many fond memories for me of my C to C crossing from over 30 years ago. You captured parts of it that I had forgotten but your videos brought it all back to life. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You now have a new subscriber to your channel.

What an absolutely epic and amazing adventure that was, loved every second of it, well done because that was one hell of an achievement 👏 👏👏

Thanks Joe. It’s been a privilege to be able to come on this epic journey with you both. Have so enjoyed the scenery, research and storytelling, not forgetting your enthusiasm even during the very tough parts. Congratulations!

Great videos, well done, it’s a hell of a walk in tough conditions. 🥾

I have really enjoyed coming with you both on this amazing journey. Many congratulations! The photography has been stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Many thanks for the videos - so many memories. My next crossing will be E2W.

Hi buddy can you send me the gpx please

This makes want a Kayake and a Wetsuit. Plus is local to me. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Hi Joe. Another nice look at this beautiful area. While you did not have views on the last mountains, it was still an interesting look. I noticed part of this section was on the Cleveland Way. I saw a video series on this a few years ago, looks like a nice walk with a variety of scenery. Hope you all are well - lots of illness going around here. Look forward to the next/last part.☹🙂

That looked a tough one mate, well done for maximum effort. 👏👏

So felt for you both walking in that weather and especially those winds..... really tiring being blown about and battling against it.

Brings back great memories. The Coast to Coast was my first long distance walk back in 2010 at the age of 64 which was a little naive of me really but managed it over 16 days and thoroughly enjoyed it. Have done many more since then and still going at 79. Must say the C to C has been the most memorable and with the numbers doing the walk made it a most sociable occasion, meeting many of the same people each day and also many at the pub at the end of the day. Thanks for bringing those memories back.

Joe, It's days like this that really make you feel alive. I know what the wind up on those moors feels like - probably as strong as those gusts midway through your video on the day that I did Osmotherley to the Lion Inn and I also had the addition of rain at times. Loved it, as well as my stay at the Lion Inn. The next day, when I continued on through Glaisdale it was overcast but with no wind or rain (sadly), but there was a grouse shooting session going on. Oh, the memories. Ryk.

Incredible achievement, both in terms of length of walk and against such adverse climatic conditions.

O MY DAYS... You were well and truly battered by the bad weather. Well done completing the day. 👍

Awesome thanks for the info 🤠

Hi, where could you stay overnight near or in bicknacre please

Hi Joe. Very nicely done. Enjoyed the beautiful scenery, thanks to your excellent filming. While it was disappointing for you to miss the views at the end, the cloudy and misty environment was interesting to see. Look forward to the next section. God Bless!

Joe, I love those misty atmospheric days on the moors, they lift the heart and get the imagination going, and I'm happy you captured that on video. My C2C day doing this stretch (which took me as far as the Lion Inn) was wetter and windier (I was worried about the rain cover on my pack being ripped off, so certainly a day to remember) than what you've experienced here, although you've alluded to more wind to come in your next section, which would have been the second half of my day. I had done the Cleveland Way the year prior and had no rain or mist, so I've experienced those moors in two different types of weather and enjoyed them a great deal both times. Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, As you mention the Vale of Mowbray is considered by some to be the most boring part of the C2C, however I hardly saw it as the day was obscured by rain once again and I kept my head down. My boot's waterproofing was compromised so, when possible, I took some road routes as opposed to the fields. Nice to see parts of the trail I detoured around (all of the part South of the Swale River making up the first half of your video, which looked quite interesting) and the parts that were obscured by the weather when I walked it. You could forgive the monotony of much of this stage when it is followed by one of the best sections, up on the Cleveland Hills. Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, Again, it is nice to see parts of the route I missed. Full disclosure, I walked 'my' C2C for this section, not Wainwright's. On the day that I walked this leg it bucketed down and the long sodden grass made the top of my socks get very wet and siphoned down into my boots, so early in the day I chose to stick to the roads the rest of the way to Richmond. Then in keeping with avoiding Wainwright's route, I continued on the North side of the Swale river past Easby Abbey and on to Brompton-on-Swale where I stopped for the night. So, it is nice to see what I couldn't and didn't see, and what I avoided, but I do like the look of that short walk through Wickcliffe Wood (from your brief shot of it). Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, Having already walked this section from Reeth to Keld about 5 weeks prior it was interesting for me covering the same ground again but in reverse during my C2C. At the time I walked it the C2C wasn't yet a National trail, so I notice newer signage and other trail upgrades throughout your video series. Either you must have a good memory and sense of direction/place, or you do a fair amount of research just prior to filming to add the factual info that you do. When I return to the U.K. for a walking holiday later this year I intend to do both the Herriot Way and the Swale Way and I am conflicted as whether to walk this section for a third time as part of those or to walk an alternate route. Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, Because of the time of year, the rain and dense fog/mist during that part of the day, the condition of the bog, an early start and a long daily distance, I took the low/green route and did not see the Nine Standards, so it was good to see footage of what I missed out on / was unable to see. You must have had a late start, as on my day of walking I passed Ravenseat farmhouse at 10 a.m., and it was closed but, if it was open, and my stages were planned differently to allow an overnight there, I would have liked to stay in the Shepherd's hut they used to rent out back then. Cheers, Ryk.

Joe, Although I walked the C2C just over 5 years ago, my memories of this stage were vague until watching your video, which is strange for a couple of reasons - one of which is that it is within this section that the C2C crosses two of my favourite U.K. trails: the Dales High Way, and Lady Annes Way. I suspect that for many they would find this stage boring, but for me it was debatably the most enjoyable day walking on the C2C, and the Yorkshire Dales is one of my favourite areas within the U.K. Sadly, I do not recall seeing those stone circles, which is a shame as I find them most intriguing. If I am ever in this area in the future I might just have to walk this part again. Ryk.

Joe, this video brought back some mixed memories. It would have been one of the few stages during my C2C walk where it didn't rain. Like you, I find temperatures above 20 degrees uncomfortable for walking, and unfortunately in NZ where I live the summers are much hotter than that - last summer I experienced many days with highs of 35, but this summer is thankfully more tolerable. Hawes Water is probably the point at which I started to enjoy my C2C walk, so I look forward to the videos to follow.

That is the problem walking in the UK as our weather can never be relied upon! We can have amazing days and equally awful days. But the walking is always good.😀

Our hearts skipped a beat as we looked NE from Scarf Wood moor and saw the North Sea for the first time - the excitement quickly abated though, when we realised that we still had 4 days walking to reach it.

First ! 😂 Did this as part of my Cleveland Way in 2023. Lovely

Stunning views and photography Joe. Happy New Year.

Loved watching this as just stunning visuals. What a great year in images. Thank you for sharing.

Well done Joe!! You are very inspiring to me! Your photography is first class! All the best to you from Massachusetts!😊🌲

Absolutely awesome Joe, it's been a pleasure watching 👏

Splendid! Belongs in the National Geographic Society....congratulations on a great year and the promise of a new one!

I hope next year is just as much fun. 😀😀

Wonderful photography!!!

This section has strong memories for me - not so much the landscape we walked through, but the date 8/9/22 - the day QE2 passed away - we heard as we approached the A1 crossing point - such a sad day. Great videos, really enjoying the pace and the additional info about the areas passed.

That's a beautiful production friend. I'm in Sudbury so I'll definitely be checking this walk out in the early Spring or a nice day soon.

Hi Joe. Another nice video on this wonderful walk/path. I like the diversity of scenery, I'm sure a good "physical" break from the ups and downs of other sections as well. As always, great photography and narration! As info, I have something like this coming up on the AT. I'm in southern Pennsylvania and am not far from the Cumberland Valley. It's around 16 miles of walking through and around farmlands before climbing up another mountain range. Look forward to the next section of this great trail. Thanks for this series!
