@@BASHADweller I always welcome a Basha Dweller vid....i rate them highly sir!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I was going to say the weather just got better and better on this walk but then it changed but at least you did not get a drenching. A booked room for the night sounded a great call and it indeed look a stunner. Never been to Falling Floss before despite threatening too many times and to be fair, it looked well worth a visit. Well done on completing this, it looked real tough at times, cheers Alan

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Alan. Yeah the it was a mixed bag of weather but that's UK for you. I am an experienced enough hiker to know that and I should've prepared better for it, like listening to my gut and taking my bloody gaiters! lol. I think I got a little complacent on this one. Falling Foss was very nice as was the surrounding woodland, great little section but be advised very busy on a nice day. The cafe there was choca block. Thanks for watching and commenting, always nice to hear from you. Atb Shaun

Well done 👏

Thanks Nigel and thank you for watching my journey. Atb Shaun

[@morgs4mountains]

Congratulations on completing it. I acknowledge that you have said earlier that you didn't enjoy the walk as you thought you might. From my perspective it was lovely to see places that I know as my Great Grandmother lived in Grosmont!

[@BASHADweller]

I think it was more the experience I didn't enjoy, if you know what I mean. I had a lot of bad luck. I think that played a big part in my lack of enjoyment. Can't fault a lot, if not all, of the scenery. Grosmont is a lovely place, although I didn't record much of it I did enjoy my mini explore of the place, admittedly most of that was the pub! Lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

well done mate good on ya for sticking at it (character building). another one in the planning no doubt. take it easy.

[@BASHADweller]

Cheers mate. Got a few in mind, probably next year now though. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@WoodsmanocD86]

Good on ye mate... 👏🏽 cracking on when you’re not having much fun is something you can always draw upon I’ve found ... I’ll be following your footsteps in July👍🏽 #c2c All the best mate...... Marcus.

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Marcus. I hope you enjoy it better than I did. There are some lovely stretches but I just didn't take to the walk on the whole for some reason. Good luck on your walk, I believe I seen on Insta that you're aiming for 10 days? All the best with it, I'm sure you'll smash it. Thanks for watching. Shaun

[@WoodsmanocD86]

@@BASHADweller yeah 10 days!! that’s the plan mate 👍🏽

[@wackyswanderings3627]

Well done Shaun cracking effort. The C2C takes no prisoners at anytime of year. That being said it's a fantastic walk and definitely an achievement to be proud of. Loved the video's big thumbs up from me well done. ATB Dave 😊👍 aka wackyswanderings 👍

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Dave. It certainly is a tough one. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@BorderRambler]

Well done Shaun a tough last few days with the heat and every shop seemingly being shut , enjoyed your trip if you never lol TFS atb Dave

[@BASHADweller]

Cheers mate. Well at least someone enjoyed it! lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@simonwilliamson3068]

Nice one Shaun, great achievement and great video, as always 👌👌

[@BASHADweller]

Cheers Simon. Glad you enjoyed watching. Well done to you too for the Ambleside to Keswick challenge, sounds like a tough one. Atb Shaun

[@rialobran]

Well done, if that heat was anything like down here you have my sympathies. When you said about seeing the North Sea it got me thinking, I have only seen it once myself on a day trip to Great Yarmouth in 1985, lol. I must go see it again someday....but I'll take an easier route :)

[@BASHADweller]

I think it was somewhere between, 27-30 degrees. Far too hot for me! That's along time without going to the east coast mate and I'll be taking an easier route next time too :) Well in fact I already have, went to the beach at Beadnell on the Northumberland Coast last week, drove to the car park and had to walk maybe 200 metres with a cheeky stop at the ice cream van about halfway! lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@CampingDan85]

Well done and a great achievement. Fantastic series of videos.i really enjoyed watching your journey. Thank you for sharing. ATB Dan. 👍👍👍👍

[@acedecs]

Watch them all mate good effort for a good cause pleasure contributing to it. First leg looked a killer. Well done

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Chris, it certainly wasn't easy but definitely worth the effort to raise money for SSAFA. Many thanks for you contribution, very much appreciated. Atb Shaun

[@snowymatrix]

Nice one Shaun well done mate! Yeah that petrol station was open when I passed it but the builders were there so it must have closed soon after. atb :-)

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Snowy. Yeah I was gutted when I got there, was banking on that. I was starving by the time I got to the Lord Stones, I was forced to have a huge meal and a few pints! :) lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@LezleysAdventures]

well done

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Lezley. Atb Shaun

[@hackneeey]

Well done Shaun,a great achievement you showed great perseverance .A walk of contrasts from too much water to not enough , regards Mick

[@BASHADweller]

Cheers Mick. Never looked at it like that, funny in a way. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@WyeExplorer]

How did that 5 miles stretch without your water filter go Shaun? I presume it was OK. I mean there was a shop at the end of it. Well, that was a good series. I think that stone was probably the culprit. To much weight. Ha ha! Mark

[@BASHADweller]

It was bloody thirsty! The shop in Glaisdale was shut, it was the shop an additional 3 miles after that which was open in Grosmont. The pub in Glaisdale was shut also but they had a water tap out back which was very much appreciated, I don't think I could've made it to Grosmont without it as I was very parched by then. Glad you enjoyed the series. I think you may be on to something, that pebble was deceitfully heavy! lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@normanscout1148]

A huge congratulations mate to me you've just completed the hardest walk of the listed walks in (my opinion) i think that last 3 mile felt like 30 into the north Sea ahh cold water lol well done again mate 👍♠️

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Norman. I did struggle at times, many ups and downs straight after each other and the weather didn't help either. I am glad I finished even though I didn't enjoy a lot of it at the time, I think I'll look back on it more fondly. I wasn't best pleased after getting to the end at Robin Hoods Bay when the realisation hit me that I had to walk back up that steep hill to my pick up point! lol. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@richardhunter7363]

Thanks for the videos - finished the C2C 6 days ago so reliving the experience - luckily nowhere near as hot as your crossing

[@BASHADweller]

Hi Richard, apologies for the late reply. I hope you enjoyed reliving it. What’s the next big walk planned for you? Think I’ll tackle on in Scotland and not at that time of year, as that was a hot one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to commit. Atb Shaun

[@richardhunter7363]

@@BASHADweller I walk in a "holiday" company normally - no planning and as hotel to hotel, it makes life easier than some crossings. Already booked next year to walk the Dales Highway June 23 (Saltaire to Appleby) and thinking about doing a solo reverse C2C - I only live 6 miles or so from St Bees so I can walk back home. I've avoided Scotland - great as long as you time it to miss the midges. Done Hadrian's Wall (2021) - possibly Cumbria Way in 2023???

[@BASHADweller]

@@richardhunter7363 I enjoyed Hadrians Wall but I knew I would as I love history. I also walked the Antonine Wall north of the border, that’s only about 40 miles ish. I have done a small portion of the Cumbrian Way earlier this year but I didn’t have time to do the lot. Whatever you chose, I hope you enjoy it. Must be nice living near St.Bees? Lovely neck of the woods.

[@richardhunter7363]

@@BASHADweller one of my fav walks is to walk down into Whitehaven, over the cliff to St Bees, along by the railway line until it meets the C2C, along the C2C to Moor Row (the walker statue) and then back to W/haven. Or round Ennerdale which is only 6 miles from home. When we did the C2C, the company provided a guide but for the first 2 days, I knew the route better than they did!

[@jonm4989]

Well done, top effort. Out of interest did you enjoy the walk as much as you expected? At one point I recall you saying you preferred the Pennine Way.

[@BASHADweller]

Thanks Jon. This trail is the reason I started doing long distance walks. I watched a documentary on the TV many years ago and thought to myself I'm going to do that. So I thought I would love it, but parts of it I would go as far as to say I hated. Don't get me wrong, some lovely stretches and views to die for but I just didn't enjoy myself even half as much as I did on the Pennine Way. I think things may have been different if I had better luck. There was quite a few things that went wrong for me on this walk like my phone (and me) getting water damaged, my water filter breaking, planned refill stops being either shut due to Covid-19 or renovations, all of these just seemed to come one after another throughout the trip. Some of which was my own fault and some which wasn't. So maybe I am being a bit unfair, I may tackle it again in the future and will hopefully have a much more pleasant experience. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Atb Shaun

[@jonm4989]

BASHA Dweller sounds like you were just a little unlucky with your timing on this one Shaun. It’s been on my bucket list for years so I’d like to give it a go. Fair play that you completed it though despite things conspiring against you and well done for completing the Pennine Way. Many thanks for taking the time to reply.

[@BASHADweller]

@@jonm4989 Well don't let my moaning put you off. With hindsight a little more planning on my part would've probably made for a better experience. I did enjoy parts. I usually do my trails in either early April or late September so I'm not used to the trail in sunny weather and made mistakes because of that. I think I will do it again sometime, maybe the opposite direction. I hope you enjoy it when you do it. Good luck 👍Atb Shaun

[@jonm4989]

BASHA Dweller Thanks Shaun, all the best.

[@dazbass007]

Super shaun just watched this again 👏👏 I remember thinking about not finishing the cumbrria way because of the weather so glad I completed that and super excited about getting on trail myself. I've got a hike pencilled in for Easter and then c2c .nice one atb daz

[@BASHADweller]

Awesome mate, I hope this year is better than last and your plans aren't scuppered. I'm hoping to do a trail or two myself this year also. Thank for watching. Atb Shaun

[@thegroove2000]

Fella for me I wear a shirt so can regulate the heat and airflow. I have all kinds of tops, but that method works for me. Check this out. I was wild camping weekend gone at Whitby and you know St Marys church at the top of the 199 steps?. I pitched behind the graveyard wall on the cliff and fuck me, the wind was howling all night. I couldn't sleep because of the noise. My tent was non-stop rattling, and it peed it down for a while. I had a bottle of gin so drank half of that and with the lack of sleep and that in the morning I was rough and knackered. Sunday I looked for some woods and found a place and drank the rest of the gin and slept really well. I had a nytol sleeping tablet. I might have to do this walk that your doing next time down to robin hoods bay. By the way friday I started off at scare borough and camped across from the seas on the north side, and then Saturday caught the bus to Whitby. Crazy fucking weekend. It was blooming hot, and the weather was lovely. I like Whitby. I had to get fish and chips on saturday and Sunday ha ha. I know how you feel been knackered. I wear these trainers instead of boots as they are kinder on my feet and I can walk faster. Man enjoy. We are very lucky to get out.

[@thegroove2000]

In fact the cleveland way I am sure it starts from the abbey were I pitched. Its that long path.

[@thegroove2000]

Well done.

[@thegroove2000]

I need a decent camera as I may have to start a channel at some point of my adventures.

[@BASHADweller]

@@thegroove2000 Sounds like you had an eventful weekend and yeah fish and chips are a must when in Whitby! :) I do have trail shoes/trainers but I prefer boots. I'm not too bothered about walking quicker as I like to admire the scenery. You should start a channel mate, I think its an enjoyable process and good to look back on. Thanks for watching. Atb Shaun

[@thegroove2000]

@@BASHADweller Thanks for replying. Keep.on with the adventures. We are very lucky to be able to get out.

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Come on, you don't like the Cleveland trail because of your past failure !!! that's down to you mate. Filter broken, not good but it was designed to fail, invest in a hand pump style, robust and fully strippable for drying and cleaning and replaceable filters. Nice hike mate, good effort.

[@BASHADweller]

I am completely aware that the Cleveland Way failure was down to me, I admitted as much in that video.It doesn't mean I don't have the right to not like it. Yeah not a fan at all, I do have much better one the LifeSaver Liberty, but I opted for the MSR Trailshot due to it's compactness. Wish I hadn't, more or less fell apart in my hands! lol.
