South West Coastal Path | A Walk From Stonebarrow Hill to Golden Cap

[@craigmorris7140]

Your enthusiasm is highly infectious...I'm watching this on a Monday night at 2100 and you STILL have me wanting to go out walking for a few hours, another great video.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

The question is, did you go? ;) Thanks for watching!

[@craigmorris7140]

I admit...I did not. I am going for an 11 mile walk on Sunday though with 2 friends as we start our epic quest of walking The Hertfordshire Way this year.

[@andrewshaw650]

One of my favourite Abbie vids, love that bit where your at the top of Golden Cap with the sunset ahead, and you are just lost for words and all you can do is shake your head with the excitement, love it!

[@garyhertswildcamper8958]

Abbie: You are without a doubt the happiest person on youtube for sure. we love your enthusiasm , for the last 2 years we've walked bits of the coast path in Cornwall in the Perranporth area. At the age of 5 it managed to hold my daughters attention span all afternoon. Trust me, this is rare for her. This year we're going for an 11 mile walk on some of the same bits of the path. roughly double last years hike. My father was fond of saying, "the best things in life are free". This is one bit of wisdom i'd like to pass on to her. thank you for sharing all your wonderful films. Gary.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hi Gary, thanks for this message and watching! So great your daughter enjoyed this too! Keep getting out - stay wild! Abbie

[@PaulOutdoors]

A truly wonderful watch and listen Abbie. Your enthusiasm and zest for life and the great outdoors is infectious. We often put off getting out but never, ever regret it when we do. Happy Wandering. Paul :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Wise words right there. Cheers Paul!

Awsesome views. Will do the Jurassic Coast next year. Can’t wait. Your country is just beautiful and a pleasure to walk it. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@jackiehawkins830]

How amazing was your video, the sights were so beautiful. Everyone should be as happy as you are. I came across your video while searching for golden cap. We aim to visit there next year. Yesterday we done the westbay to seatown and back. It was tiring at the ripe old age of 57. Enjoyed all the views . Actually didn't ache very much today. Happy walking :) thank you for sharing your adventures. Jackie .

[@walkandcamp]

Thanks for the latest video Abbie. I've watched most of your vids about 5 times! Your enthusiasm is awesome. You've certainly motivated me to get out more.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for watching!!

[@stevesmith3990]

'Sunny Inside' - that's how hiking makes me feel too, I hope to get to Golden Cap later this year :)

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Enjoy it!!

[@michaelpilling9659]

A wonderful walk Abbie. Done it many times. Every time you do it, you see something different. Your film was excellent. Full of information based on local knowledge. Thanks for taking me along

[@thetrailhunter4469]

Absolute pleasure watching your walks, Abbie. I like how your enthusiasm for walking comes out in your videos. I'll take some inspiration from you for my videos in the future. Keep sharing! Russ

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks Russ!!

[@tbotheman]

Your enthusiasm so shines through in this video Abbie and know where you're coming from with the beauty of all that's around us. I've walked the SWCP anti clockwise and clockwise these last two years and love it soooo much I'm starting at Minehead again in May this year to do it all again! Love the like minded people I come across and the sights I see. Blessed! Keep up the good work Abbie!!

[@eloisebrynlee]

Walking in winter is great - and especially when the sky is clear and the sun throws the light about like this! 🌞 You also have the twilight at this latitude which makes it even more spectacular! Thanks for sharing! Cheers. 🇦🇺

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Sure was pretty cool. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Balu86]

Hey, I just recently found your KZbin Channel, but since then I cannot stop watching your Videos! I really enjoy the hiking videos and like Tent reviews! Keep on making such great videos to show the world the great countryside of the uk! Best regards from Germany Ralf

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Fab, thanks for watching! So glad you're enjoying the films!

[@patrickmoore2031]

Good lord, that was great. I enjoyed that. You’re a bit wound up there. It’s great to see you enjoy your own country so much. I would just about pay money to have a chat with you. You’re right, sometimes you have to just get out there and do that thing you think, for whatever reason, you can’t do. Visiting your country last year was one of those things for me and I absolutely would not trade the experience for anything. Anyway, sorry for carrying on, take care and keep on with what you’re doing.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for watching and commenting! I was pretty wired but really dont think you can be over enthusiastic about the wonder of the natural world, it's pretty amazing out there. Stay wild, Abbie

[@WWCLife]

My first big walk when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing a beautiful walk. We’re slowly going through ALL your vids. Who needs a TV licence eh? Haha! Your channel is awesome!

[@backpacksandbruises]

You could not have timed that better! What a wonderful sunset. It was great to share your joy. Thanks for sharing, sue 👍🏻

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for watching!

[@WyeExplorer]

Really enthralled by your enthusiasm Abbie. Wow! Where to begin on the many issues you spoke about. I guess Eleanor Roosevelt springs to mind who said, 'Do one thing every day that scares you.' Darn right! This area sounds spectacular. An activity for everyone...hey what about the swimmers?I'm sure they're there somewhere amid the hikers and surfers and more besides. How amazing is our planet? Awesome amazing! Good going. Mark

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Yes Mark! Our planet is amazing!!!

[@WyeExplorer]

Sure is!

[@tomcook7676]

I have a plaque hanging on the wall in my apartment entry reading "LIVING MY DREAM." I do just that, it is how I live my retirement years. I struggle with the effects winter months have on me, I know the inclines will be brutal at first. I feel myself slowing down, just have to keep doing.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Yes, keep going!! And enjoy every step of the way, not matter how far the 'way' is.

[@Dorset_Phil]

What great words, so true. I think that we are so fortunate to live on this amazing coastline. If you ever want to do a Portland walk we live right on the SW coastal path. You are more than welcome to park up on our drive as we have plenty of room. ATB Phil

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Many thanks Phil!

[@kenhenley7599]

Lovely walk, great commentary and an excellent video. Thank you.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for watching!

[@plumjam]

Another lovely video, Abbie.

[@stephenpinder1903]

wonderful message - you're on the right trek

[@WiltshireMan]

Looks like a wonderful walk Abbie. I have been to the Jurassic coast before but it was a long while ago. You have wetted my appetite to return:) Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Sandy

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

This is the year for your return I feel :)

[@davidfarquhar3917]

Another great video. Really enjoy your love of the British outdoors and your discussions on physical and mental health. Today I only get to exercise on my indoor bike but watching this was a great motivator

[@terrystephenson7639]

Nice video ..and your smile is contagious

[@trevorwright6165]

[@gonewild1220]

[@MrOj53]

Stay Wild!!

[@deanmc178]

ive stayed at eype,, and did a coastal walk to seaton..i remember going into the clouds on the high points of the cliffs and back out of them again ..a truely exciting adventure

[@DavidWiseCoaching]

Loving your videos and your enthusiasm for neing outside in Nature, Abbie. I live in Purbeck (near the pub with the dog on the roof!! 😀 ) and haven't done Golden Cap yet, so now definitely on my list! Just trying to follow your walk against an OS map and got a bit confused the route uou took from Stonebarrow Hill to Langdon hill. Was that down chardown hill, through Upcot, then up Muddyford Lane (the long hill climb)? Thanks, you're awesome, keep up the great inspiring work!

[@circa77]

Wow, amazing views, I didn't realize the southwest coast path was so big, I live in North Devon and go on the southwest coast path often. Would love to join you on a walk sometime, could do with some good knowledge and advice with hiking the path. Thanks for the video.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks for watching and the comment! Keep an eye on my Facebook page as this year I will be running a few meet up walks for folks to join :)

[@circa77]

Abbie Barnes | Song Thrush Productions thank you, will do.

[@neilsmith2009]

nice

[@desrynne2720]

Can you wild camp on the southwest path as you walk it

[@gavclarke6435]

Legally no. But as long as you pitch up late and pack up early, while leaving no trace and in a sensible place with no fire, people tend to tolerate it.

[@michaelvandromme]

Did you go to Holyrood School? I had a Matthew Barnes in my year. My surname isn’t Saxman but Vandromme.

[@michaelvandromme]

Sorry nice videos by the way. Lol!

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hiya, no I didnt I'm afraid! But thanks for commenting all the same!

[@stephenpinder1903]

you sound medicated - is it the audio?

[@stephenpinder1903]

could be my computer

[@stephenpinder1903]

must be slowed down video/audio once edited

[@stephenpinder1903]

It's my computer - sorry

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thanks Stephen, glad it worked in the end :)
