Solo Coast to Coast hike | 200 miles | 11 days | PART 1

The Coast To Coast hike is just under 200 miles across England, starting at St Bees head in the Lake District over to Robin hoods bay in Yorkshire!
The route is incredible and takes in the lake District national park, Yorkshire dales and North York moors...
I took a few detours on mine to add to the experience, staying in wharnscale bothy and checking out some extra waterfalls, you can really make this route your own which is part of the adventure !
This video is part 1 I will be uploading the rest once the video is complete!
I'll also do a kit list video incase you wondered exactly what I took with me! look out for that 😊
I’v tried to add as much of the gear i use on my amazon storefront below if you need some inspiration….

Day 1 for me was as a passenger from Essex to the Start as I am not a driver, arrived St Bees at 4.30am and started to walk. Dent was my first serious climb since I tackled the Pennine Way the previous year, then downward to Ennerdale, arrive at 4pm, had a drink at the Pub and carried on to Black Sail on the Southern side of Ennerdale Water. First nights B&B for more than 10 yrs £3.00 including evening meal and breakfast. Day 2 just a short one, but a very steep and muddy track from Black Sail over to Borrowdale and Stonetwaite and my first campsite. I never bothered to filter any of the water in the Lake District or in the York Moors area, so long as the stream is fast flowing its drinkable, just check upstream for dead animals. Finally for this segment my pack weighed in at 35kg, but I did carry all my food supplies via Army compo rations and and 6 litres of water. Day 2 was Stonetwaite to Angle Tarn.

I love Sam’s videos . Good quality from limited resources but so spot on with what you really want to see and hear …with some added humour.

[@stevebee5840]

Great video and so nice to watch without the background ....doing the C2C in June what advice do u have in terms of navigation didn't see u refer to a map or phone....is the path easy to follow? Thanks really enjoyed your video

[@ianhaughey]

Smashed it mate. 👊

[@madcat1007]

Brilliant video. Thanks for posting. Do you mind sharing the grid reference of where you took a dip at 5.07? Cheers.

[@nazminnarine7901]

You look great. Lovely outdoors. Excellent greenry. Hello from Trinidad in the Caribbean. I love your country. It so lovely and breathtaking. You have a great physique!

[@anthonyrobinson5694]

It is always nice to see anothers viewpoint on C2C. I have done it twice and loved every mile of it. Backpacking both times so my rucksack was approx 25kg. Day 1 for me was St Bees to Black Sail stopping along the way to take photograps.

[@Samrculley]

Hey, thanks for watching ! Yeah it's it's a fantastic route and experience, a nice solid mixture of different terrain and surroundings! I've always wanted to stay at black sail YHA but have never had the chance "yet" Carrying 25kg is a good solid effort! Amazing how much stronger it makes you over the journey isn't it 👍

[@anthonyrobinson5694]

@@Samrculley The second time I did it East to West and the Lake District was (or seemed to be) much tougher than my first West to East crossing. I would love to get back there next year, but more for photography reasons than just completing it again. So what is next on your List of Mega Hikes?

[@Samrculley]

I've just completed JOGLE so I'm taking a little rest, but I'm definitely interested in doing some abroad, maybe something along the lines of the "King's trail" in Sweden or something a little different I guess! What about yourself ?

[@LLLL-ld5wh]

Kia ora Sam Thank you for the time you put into these. I know its probably not your intention but i find your videos so relaxing. ❤Solvitur Ambulando❤

[@ellagoesexploring3472]

Hope your gonads made it 😂 look forward to part 2!!

[@jakedarnley426]

I know this was a long time ago! But, when you go for a dip mid walk, do you keep the shorts on that you had on for the swim? Also, do you swim in underwear too? Personal questions so sorry but just planning for walks with potential wild swims in the future. Thanks in advance!

[@hikingwithben3695]

Loved it mate. Nice without the music too. Few pointers, are you still a man? And now I’m wanting a coffee and a bap 😂😂
