England's Coast to Coast Day 7, Keld to Reeth

[@andrewmcfarlane5040]

Beautiful landscape and lovely weather. Thanks for sharing.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!

New sub here hare here, well, where do I start, thought I would comment at just over your half way point, it has been a wonderful watch so far, the narration and observations are both gleeful and interesting, Molly`s precis at the start and end of each video are really professionally delivered. (Maybe a career in the media sector awaits) You truly have had some fine weather conditions on the trail (hope i don`t jinx it ) and your family interactions are both funny and heartwarming. A great enjoyable watch thus far. Thanks for sharing your epic adventure. ps, Hello from Liverpool.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Hello to Liverpool and welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the trek.

Have you guys considered doing the St Cuthbert's Way? It is a sort of pilgrims route from Melrose Abbey in Scotland to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) in England. It takes about four days to walk and passes an Anglo-Saxon museum in Wooler and a Large cave the monks would take shelter in.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

We haven’t but I’m going to add it to my list to research. Thanks!

[@ianpark1805]

Really enjoying your videos. It’s a long time since I did the C2C and on this stage we went ‘over the top’ to Reeth. The first bit on the top is like the surface of the moon! The rest is more interesting if you are into industrial archaeology. You are also not the first to discover you can’t get back to the C2C from Muker unless you retrace your steps - or cross the river. See also YT-er ‘Haze Outdoors’ find out the hard way (Herriot Way part 2) - it’s very funny! Interestingly he calls it ‘Mucker’ as opposed to ‘Myoo-ker’ as I was taught. And we’re both from Yorkshire, so I guess there’s no ‘right’ way!

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Yeah. I wish Pablo had watched that other video before navigating us that way. The rocks were very slippery, and I wasn't at the top of my game. It wasn't a good combination. I think that in the town, they were saying it like Myoo-ker, but I can't remember for sure.

[@ianpark1805]

@@staceyandmollypilgrims I knew I was brought up proper! While Hazey didn’t, to use his own vernacular, ‘stack it’ in the Swale, he most certainly does in an epically damp and rainy Lake District flooded beck in a recent video, the sort that you need to towel off having only watched it. Looking forward to your next episode, which takes you through to Danby Wiske, yes? That was the day we doubled up, going from Catterick Bridge (we ploughed on through Richmond) camping on the lawn of the Bluebell pub at Ingleborough Arncliffe (several excellent tales from/about fellow C2C-ers there, seemed to attract eccentrics - not us obviously!) Like I said, looking forward to your next installment!

[@ianpark1805]

That should be Ingleby….. I need to get a Yorkshire specific auto correct! Although Ingleborough also is in Yorkshire, so may be it is already…..

0:53 A tea house. I heard "atijas" first time. Blessed Annunciation Feast, and Name's Day (among others) to Molly!

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Thank you, and a blessed Feast to you!

@@staceyandmollypilgrims thank you!

Pennine way is said pen then nine not neen. Pennines the backbone of England. Very great walk. Pennine way 278 miles from Derbyshire to Scotland.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Thanks for the pronunciation correction. It sounds like a great hike. I would love to walk that and insert the days that we missed of the Coast to Coast. Hmmm….

[@GaryThomas-gx2jm]

@@staceyandmollypilgrims yeah pennine way a great walk basically covering the northern part of england. Some premier hills along it also.

[@johneikenmeyer8100]

new sub. Where in the states are you all from? Take a look at the Cotswold walk which is 102 miles , but is one of the best in terms of not just the scenary but all the small towns you get to stay in.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

We live in Houston. You are the second person to recommend that walk to us. I will put it on our list. Are the stops open in winter?

[@johneikenmeyer8100]

@@staceyandmollypilgrims I believe its about half and half. You generally will go thru a small town every 10 miles or even less. Place is quitessentially english cute. We also did the great glen way which was surprisingly nice as well. Good luck.

[@richardhunter7363]

I walked the route in Sep 22 - unlike you, I found my blistered feet gave me no trouble while walking but.....on reaching each hotel and changing into my sandals, I was crippled and shuffled about, hardly about to take a step.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

I always get blisters when I walk the long walks. The skin on my feet is very soft, and my feet swell when I walk so much. It isn't a good combination. The difference with this walk is that I got a really bad few on the front, bottom of my left foot. The location was really frustrating, because no amount of bandaging really helped. That area ended up getting infected later. I hope that I have learned some lessons that I can use to prevent it from happening again.

[@hglundahl]

9:03 Wet socks are not ideal for blisters, I'm afraid. Hope you got better soon!

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

I tried to get better, but in the end, the blisters ended up getting me. You'll see when we show the West Highland Way videos.

[@hglundahl]

@@staceyandmollypilgrims Ouch!

[@hglundahl]

15:25 Richmond Virginia? Oh, wait, cities in the US have a little knack of being named for cities elsewhere that are older ... _"Richmond est une ville située dans le Yorkshire du Nord en Angleterre, au Royaume-Uni. Elle est rattachée administrativement au district du Yorkshire du Nord."_ Yeah, this one.

[@staceyandmollypilgrims]

Yep. That's the way we do it. We either name our cities after other cities or historical people. I don't know where the names of the original places came from.

[@hglundahl]

@@staceyandmollypilgrims // The town of Richemont, in Normandy (now in the Seine-Maritime département of the Upper Normandy region), was the origin of the place name Richmond. It is the most duplicated UK place name, with 56 occurrences worldwide.[4] Richmond in North Yorkshire was the Honour of Richmond of the Earls of Richmond (or comtes de Richemont), a dignity also held by the Duke of Brittany from 1136 to 1399.[5] // The name means Rich Mountain. Did you know that Disney is also from a French place? d'Isigny. Boston is from an English one, Botulfestun, after the monk, exorcist and saint who exorcised Iccanhoe and made it inhabitable.
