[@kenwbrenner]

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.

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.

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the series :)

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.

It sounds like you had some terrible weather on your coast to coast! Our day from Clay Bank Top to Glaisdale was terrible and by far the worst day with 60mph winds and hail for most of the day - you may see some of it when the video comes out!

[@rykskelton2066]

​@@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson It rained on at least 7 of my 11 days on the C2C, so I had 'wet' weather a lot of the time, but I enjoy the rain so I wouldn't use the term terrible.

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.

@@davidryan4454 Hi David, yes we did it over 4 separate trips, the longest being 6 days which was the middle section from Kirkby Stephen to Clay Bank Top. Ive not made a video on the kit, logistics etc but sure could do! We camped most of it to keep costs down but had 2 cars which meant we could stay in 1 campsite for several days.

[@davidryan4454]

Thanks for replying Joe 👍🏻 Makes perfect sense with the change of weather & seasons. I think that others might also be interested in the planning, logistics and kit. Your method makes sense if travelling with one or more companions & means pack weights can be kept low. Camping keeps it affordable too of course. 🙂

PS- are you still at your old job ?

[@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson]

@davidryan4454 absolutely! Still in West Suffolk :)
