Wet and Windy Coastal Hike and Beach Camp. Norfolk Coast Path, Part 7 - Sea Palling to Caister.

[@DutchVai]

Never apologize for having to use your Go-Pro to film Simon. The fact that you're out there living your life creating/sharing with us such fantastic content is very much appreciated.

[@Darklake_Noble]

Simon thank you so much for the hiking videos. First being a Texan in the US I am interested in the English countryside, which you feature nicely with good narration. However what is the most satisfying is the view of the trail from the chest mounted GoPro, and hear your footsteps. I have been in a wheelchair for almost four years since I lost my right foot. Your videos feel like I am exploring with you and it is wonderful. ATB !!!

[@jedinightstalker]

I know most people love to go to the beach in the summer but there is something magical about the sea in winter. The seals are super cute.

[@nickmarshall8583]

What I love about your channel is that it's not just about the places you're sharing. It's about an overall respect for nature and time. That's inspiring. Keep it up!

[@spotweld]

Simon's seal of approval...👍👍

[@jamesdecross1035]

Drove up to that bit of coast the day that wet weather gave way to something much nicer. Glorious sunshine and a wonderful Wolf Moon rising in Earth's shadow over the North Sea just as the sun was setting. Amazing colours.

[@vetworker]

It’s a fantastic walk which I’d recommend to anyone. I did it a few years ago thankfully in slightly better weather. The seals were a highlight of the walk. My friends and I did cheat as we stayed in accommodation every night so full respect for braving the weather and then camping. Thanks for a great video.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I think you had the better idea - a hot radiator to dry my clothes on, a hot shower, a warm bed and a pint or two in the local sounds much nicer than sleeping in my soggy clothes in my soggy tent and waking up to frost over everything 🥶😂

@@simonablokeinthewoods but Simon you get bragging rights for weathering the weather!

[@paulbooth77]

'Nutritional yeast whatever that is' ! I love your videos, but guess you don't hang out with any vegans. Nutritional yeast aka nooch is a wonderful addition to savoury meals, adding a cheesy/nutty flavour. It looks like fish food flakes, but honestly even for a meat eater will enhance your food. Sprinkled on beans on toast or avacado on toast it's lovely. Masses of B vitamins & zinc. Loved seeing the seals in this video and your no nonsense approach to it's freezing & wet but I'll camp anyway. Keep up the good work Simon; look forward to your future escapades.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Paul! I might give that a go, I think my daughter might have some - she is a (part-time) vegan 😁

[@tuomike7023]

You’re welcome Simon. Hope you enjoyed the hot chocolate. Thank you for your hard work producing fantastic videos! I’m a big fan.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It was lovely! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@davidparr2244]

Thank you bro for a great video I really enjoyed it last night I watched you and Andy in Norway I did not comment I have not been feeling well. Is really a shot in the arm to see all the bushcrafters out there I watch hours and hours of different bushcrafters all over the world. Thank you for your efforts the filming they haven't seen and all the time it takes me it's doing this I'm getting into Bushcraft. I'm 63 I'm retired this is a whole New world is it it's a whole new adventure really I feel brand new. I watched Andy with this with his channel Kent Survival. Many many times. Is very late here in Arizona. Until then stay safe leave no Trace and I'm with you in spirit your friend Arizona Dave

[@G4RY1159]

Unsure why but got a bit of a bad vibe from Hemsby, it was super busy the day we walked through it and was expensive to park, we were just having a look around that day. On our last day before returning back to Glasgow we walked from Winterton along to Caister, went into the big caravan site and had a few beers and a cone for Kylo the dog, he loves a cone. Was a decent walk there and back along the sea edge, well most of it and it was such a nice day - 16th September. It was a bit of a culture shock when I got home, nice and peaceful down there. Massive thanks again Simon

[@JS-xs5hq]

Thanks Simon....a beautiful place to hike and good music. Lovely time. 👍👍

[@bradlafferty]

Such a delight seeing the seals! The scenery was very beautiful. Thanks, Simon, for braving the wintry weather to bring us this vid! Take care!

[@papajeff5486]

Simon, the coastal views combined with the music, HOW WONDERFUL!!!! I could go for some fish and chips right now. Thanks for sharing. Texas

[@Aby7799]

U are like early sunshine after a cold winter's night, ur videos are so wholesome it rejuvenates me. Thankyou and take care.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you!

[@syncrosimon]

Winter walking is surprisingly satisfying, getting the distances done in the daylight is hard, and makes for long evenings. But the rewards of few other people and battling the elements makes it well worth it. Great video Simon.

[@thomhollyer4102]

Thanks for talking seal safety! I grew up on that coastline with family still there, and more and more people flock to see them every winter - not everyone cares enough or has the common sense to keep their distance, and the volunteer wardens can only do some much across that many miles. Still go camping at Waxham Sands most summers, and those dunes in Caister saw many nights of underage boozing when I was a teenager! Lovely to see it all on KZbin watched by thousands. Great video.

[@dianejacklin4338]

Gosh wet and windy Norfolk. Such a shame you got so wet. The seals were amazing. Thank you for sharing

[@gdluna7168]

Love the rainforest atmosphere you have going in the tent ! Living life large a three course meal camping!

[@gstevef]

Fantastic Simon, I adore Norfolk in all seasons. So sorry you couldn't have a little fire, but hey. And Everyone - protect the Norfolk coast path by cutting your carbon and using your vote. Norfolk needs you urgently!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Great to see the final leg of this enjoyable series. Captured in the usual atmospheric and interesting way. ATB pal - Chris

[@ihop8783]

Great video, Simon. You have the best music👍🏼

[@bubblehed738]

Once again a wonderful video. You have such a great knack of choosing the perfect music to set the mood. You are still, and have been for some time now, my favorite KZbinr. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Finishing off the path ... you might say you've sealed the deal. 😜

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

😂😂😂 Very good! Thanks again for all those mountain house meals Kimberly, the chicken and mash was spot on! 😋

[@KimberlyGreen]

@@simonablokeinthewoods You're very welcome Simon 🤗 I'm glad they've been enjoyable for you. Might be time to get you a few other brands to try, like Backpacker's Pantry or PackIt Gourmet if your M.H. cache is running down.

[@lauriebloggs8391]

Brilliant music...again! No wonder you walk so fast having to keep collecting the camera 🙂 For all the foul weather, yet again a lovely film for us sitting in the warm, thank you.

[@scottroberts7875]

Brilliant Simon .loved the seals ,sounds of crashing waves , the pup resting in the grassy verge and of course that consistent relentless companion ,La rain. looking forward to the next instalment. Thanks for sharing. ATVB2U . Scott. Somerset

[@SurvivalistChick]

Simon says, "Amazing, the wonders of a hot drink." My version: "Amazing, the wonders of a hot man." :) Thanks for another fantastic video, Simon. That coastal path is wonderful, even in winter. And the seals! I will definitely be going to Horsey Gap!

[@RickallsBushcraft01]

Even in bad weather it's always good to get out on an adventure 👍 thanks for sharing

[@MHarenArt]

So glad to see you had a proper tent instead just a little bivvy. The weather was just too awful, so having a place to sit and be comfortable for the evening was essential. Your hikes are always so interesting and informative - love the little bits of history you share. Thanks for sharing Simon Cheers!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Maggie! Yes, I was very glad of the tent on this one! 😁

[@MrTmax74]

What’s up Simon, thank you for the great distraction from the craziness of my life. Always appreciate what you put into your videos brother.

[@paulclarkson5494]

Brilliant video Simon. Real world Norfolk coast winter walking. Keep safe and warm. Paul and jilly. Sunny hunny ❤

[@paulembling6384]

Great to see you out and about again Simon. Lovely video, nice to see the seals, I was surprised to see so many, lovely. You did look cold mate, the old hands shaking whilst you was assembling the stove, that's what happens I suppose when one gets soaked through. "Beige diner" lol, that made me chuckle, lol, then you whacked a load of hot and spicy sauce on it, brilliant. looking forward to the next instalment, brilliant. Thanks for sharing Simon. Atb, Paul.

[@janwaller3585]

I love that you take us all on interesting places and sights with you . Thanks !

[@jonfisher9214]

No better feeling than spending a cold and wet day outdoors and then being able to create a warm and comfortable bed for the night while listening to it howling outside. Gives you good confidence in your kit too knowing it can cope with the conditions.

[@MyVikinglife]

That looked a very bleak, wet and chilly old walk.

[@aramarsh]

I spent many a summer holiday with my family back in the seventies clambering over the Winterton dunes and swimming in the North Sea, fish 'n' chips at Martham on the way home, happy days, thanks for sharing Simon.

[@dianevillemaire8286]

Seals are awesome. Beautiful country side you have

[@steveroberts1422]

Excellent video Simon. Can't wait for part 2, I remember many fantastic family holidays in Great Yarmouth. Such a beautiful part of our magnificent country.

[@gregalbee9725]

Thank you for inspiring me to get outdoors even when the weather doesn't cooperate!

[@robengland7495]

Thank you for another amazing video Simon, my wife and two children love exploring that part of the coast.

[@malcolmT]

No hanging about on this one that was like a Royal Marine pace 😳 looking forward to part 2 😁

[@kitty320]

Thank you Simon, I find your videos really therapeutic, you bring my beloved Norfolk closer to me, now that I live 250 miles North East of it. Please would you do a walking video one day, that incorporates the village of Sedgeford, I would be so grateful.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you Kitty! I walked very close to Sedgeford during my Peddars Way walk - lovely area!

[@JanetOutdoors]

Thank you Simon your walks gave me the inspiration to start walking 🚶‍♀️

[@letsramblewithrebecca7071]

Fabulous walk! Love those areas, especially the Winterton Valley. So beautiful at any time of the year. 🥰

[@juliegogo2941]

My parents really enjoyed the UK Wales they liked the best. In the EU their fave was Portugal. Thanks for your walkabout. Yes I opened the door wide on our below zero super windy day while shoveling to blow out the bad HOPEFULLY. Awe so wonderful they are so wiggly cute...

[@MrMunkeeboy2]

Another crackin video Simon. Your a brave man camping on the beach this time of year, I live in Caister... 10 mins from the beach. I would have put the kettle on if I knew you were coming lol

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

That would have been very welcome I can tell you!! 🥶💦😂

[@thomhollyer4102]

Hi Terry, small world, I grew up in Caister too, near the Haven!

[@suffolkairadventures]

Hello Simon.I've been watching your videos for a long time and they inspired me to start my own channel. It's had such a positive impact on me and my wellbeing I wanted to say a big thank you! How you manage to keep your content at such a high standard is amazing. I think most people recognise it's just you and not a full crew, so this makes it even more impressive what you produce. So thanks once more for the content and giving me the push to have a go myself. Cheers from South of the border. SAA

[@mountaingator001]

WHAT A GREAT ADVENTURE…THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WITH US 👍🙏❤️

[@jimrogers1853]

Lovely part of the world Simon. My wife is from Norfolk so we have spent many a holiday on that lovely coast. Loved the vid.

[@tracyl1368]

Great vlog as always with magnificent scenery......thank you SO much.....

[@longrider42]

That was a great video. The wind and the surf and your foot steps. I could listen to the surf all day. I am looking forward to part two.

[@WyeExplorer]

That was a real pleasure to watch Simon end to end. I've been meaning to make it over - glad I did. Only a few things to say. Hey, I carry a light weight brolly on my hikes. For those who feel that way it's no good for the image but for the practical types it's a real game changer. When the winds are favorable and its pissing down I'm happy as Larry under there and I prolong my gear. I have a video called: 5 Advantages of Using an Umbrella Backpacking - it's a good one. Well, them seals were awesome to see. I never knew Norfolk had so many. Fantastic hike - I look forward to part 2 now. Peace. Mark

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

So interesting to see the coastline. Thanks for sharing!

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

Can’t for you to get safely home. We miss seeing Maggie on your adventures. Interesting breakwaters.

[@Trees45]

Simon, another great vlog! A theme you carry through most of your videos was taught to me over 40 years ago. If you want to hook someone on the great outdoors entice them with smell and sounds of good food. Yup you did it even from a pouch! Oh and the pressure cooker lamb stew in a previous was out of this world.

[@charliewilson4670]

Cracking video Simon always a pleasure watching your video's, excellent mate 👍

[@AncientHermit]

Impressive stuff young sir!😀 Hope you had a good night.🤔 Catch up with you next week.😉 Be well Simon.😊

[@thizizliz]

How exciting to see the seals. Good call to keep a safe distance- they are strong, faster than we'd ever expected & protective! Gosh, so much rain!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Proper soggy! 💦💦💦

[@outsideedgebushcraft3017]

Wow! that took me back, as a boy we lived in Heacham, i'll always remember the bleak, desolate and as you said almost 'apocalyptic' nature of the winter 'off season' also the wind, sand and sideways rain lol, great job thanks. ATB Pete

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Desolate and bleak, but breathtakingly beautiful at the same time! My family come from around that area - Heacham and Docking 👍

[@outsideedgebushcraft3017]

Oh! absolutely beautiful during the summer we're there whenever possible, many happy holidays along that coastline. ATB Pete

[@garyrodriguez7078]

Hello Simon, I know Waxham Sands/Horsey very well. Visited many many times when I had my Campervan. Also rented holiday homes in Sea Palling before that. Was visiting that area with my Girlfriend only a few mths back, after Yarmouth. Nice to see you got the seals on the beach in the video. Right time of the year. 👍👍🙂 Best, Gaz.

[@markuk7860]

I use to live in Caister-on-Sea not far from the Never Turn Back pub 30 years ago. I use to walk from Gt Yarmouth to Hemsby a lot. Brought back memories.

East coast beaches in winter .....yep been there(a lot ) . Two day camping trip in the pouring rain ...almost bloody heroic !

Brrrrr, about caught a cold just watching 🥴 Enjoyed this Looking forward to part 2

[@StevenKeery]

Loved seeing all the seals in the video, they were beautiful. Couldn't help but think of all the extra work involved in those walk-past shots and low angles. The music for your vids is always great too. All the best, take care of yourself, looking forward to the next installment.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Steven! The extra walking keeps me fit (and warm! 😂) 👍

[@Lukegrego]

Thank you Simon for this amazing video. We have always watched you as a family, but this was a special one for us. We are annual visitors to this area for our holiday, but have missed the last couple of years due to the pandemic, so to see the familiar sights we have missed was strangely emotional. We have our fingers crossed to come back this year.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you Luke! I hope you are able to come back this year - looks like things should be heading back to normality 👍

[@Andyoandy1122]

What's fun about some one getting wet through and getting in a sleeping bag 😂😂

[@sjwillis1137]

Long walk ! I've done Hemsby to Caister . Along the beach . Also Hemsby to Winterton along the beach. A bit bleak in that Wintery weather . I think I know the crackers you had there . We like the black pepper and sea salt ones . The rosemary ones are nice too . I didn't know that about the marram grass . 👍👍👍 A complex root system 🤔.

[@mickbutler9407]

Thanks Simon been waiting for u to finish the walk it's been very interesting learning about different things along the route looking forward to the last leg

[@deetrvl4life875]

Aww, the seals were so sweet and gentle looking. They remind me of dogs when they look at you. I did hate to see you cold and wet tho, but that Honey stove is a honey!! ;). It’s lovely to see areas that are kept up and respected, not littered with trash or left to rot. You make me love England!! But that’s exactly what the weather is like here in Tennessee right now.

[@stephengomme777]

Thank you Simon interesting great video as always an eye opener to the beauty of nature & escapism looking forward to part 2 can’t wait.

[@troymadison7082]

Awesome and amazing video!

[@stevenbrennan9711]

Go on Simon, hard as nails mate. Best thing is I can see how much you love doing what you do, I don't have much interest in camping but I love watching your vids regardless.

[@rickbartley9255]

Very nice filming. Nice to have a beautiful stretch of beach mostly to yourself!

[@thomascraig7230]

Good to see you again sir. That was a great video. Sometimes the best trips happen in the worst weather.

nice to see how thickly the beach grasses grow.

[@treksntarps]

Lovely looking stretch of coastline there, despite the weather . Nice to see the seals. Nice camp spot and I bet those fish and chips hit the spot . Nice one . Take care 👍

[@claramullen]

That was a real wet and dreary beach camp but very entertaining good to see you on any occasion take care Simon.

[@Rogar0]

Very enjoyable Simon! A little different from the Woods, but as you say the Seals are awesome!
