The Coast to Coast - Part 1

[@Lands_Solo]

That is a tough one to do as your first solo trek, but they're all challenging in their own way, and there are always stages where you really feel it. The good news, in my experience, is that you get into a rhythm after a few days and then it becomes much easier. When you've finished you'll realise you've caught the bug and want to do more, then the fun really begins 👍

[@johnnywallaceuk]

Stumbled upon this the other day, the algorithm decided I needed to see this and... yes, yes I did. As someone who has done a lot of day trip hikes but no multi day national trails like this I'm loving seeing someone decide to go for it and will learn from the things you point out you've learned along the way. I'll be watching and enjoying all your future stuff.

[@patrickelliott5858]

Absolutely brilliant to watch. You are a natural on screen and I look forward to part 2.

[@HikesAndHijnks]

Love watching your trek! I'm doing the Coast to Coast next year, and have been watching videos to prepare. I love how honest and open you are in your videos.

[@g3mmamari353]

👏 well done you should be proud!

[@Fishy1764]

Absolutely fantasic video mate .Youve got me hooked .Im looking forward to part two.😎🤙

[@HughesHikes]

Really enjoyed that, was nice to see so much honesty about how you were feeling and the lack of experience in long distance, I’m very similar myself and really felt I was there walking with you. Great shots and editing will look forward to part 2. All the best… Day

[@marywilson641]

Wow, stunning scenery, great vid

[@alanwetherelt7155]

Very nicely put together video , you sure did stank on a bit, weather a bit warm but some great dry weather congratulations

[@jordytreks]

Exact same reason I like to film my hikes/camps, to look back on 👌Just came across your channel mate and loving the series! Really want to do this coast to coast at some point too! Just got back from BenNevis which would be another class one for you!

[@garycrowther4912]

Fab video easy to watch , admire anyone who hikes 20 miles a day and produces such quality editing/filming , looking forward to the next one 👍

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Like 👍107

[@spenny4571]

Hello mate, great video, I just done the west highland way about a month back for charity, this coast to coast hike is my next task in a month or so.... Can't beat the sunrises and sunsets with the peaks and the sounds of nature, makes it all worth while.... All the best mucka, keep em comin 😎 👌👌👍

[@brookeshaffer4377]

Great video!Thanks for sharing this🌟

[@mattjudd1239]

Finally got round to watching this after KZbin suggested it the other week. I actually met you on the first day coming round Ennerdale Water and was the hiker pitched just along from you that first night (my kids loved seeing my distant cameo as you panned the camera round haha) great video mate and looking forward to reliving the trail through the rest 🤙

[@WanderandRoam]

Was good to meet you. I probably wouldn't of camped where I did if it wasn't for you saying "you've come this far got to get to the end now!" Hope you had a good time doing it 😄

[@adrianstrand1120]

Bringing back happy memories walked in 2016, would like to do in reverse as living 4 miles from St Bees I’d be walking home. Looking forward to episode 2 👍🏻

[@kevinball4410]

Very well put together video, brought back some memories of my time doing the trail, can't wait for the next.video.

[@RyanStevenson-cr7ed]

Loved watching this. The views looked utterly sensational! I'm looking to do something similar towards the end of the year in NZ. Great inspiration

[@WanderandRoam]

I would love to visit NZ! It looks stunning

[@davesgreatescapes]

Hats off yo you mate. That looks tough but the scenery is definitely worth it. Ill check out part 2 now 👍

[@judithfaber2667]

KZbin guided me to this video & I'm so happy it did. New subscriber 😊

[@lindahartley2940]

Well Done

[@drummingriffin]

Well, you're not doing too badly for your first 'extended mileage walk' as you put it. I'm half each in the camps of 'admiration' and 'foolhardy' 🤪at you going for such a long trek without much experience. But at least you now know you can do it. I'm going to watch pt.2 now. Cheers and well done so far.

[@andrewwells3409]

Great Video, looking forward to Part 2. And the Joys of Tech when out on an adventure 😂

[@user-TonyUK]

Good Luck mate, I have completed this hike twice once in each direction carrying in 30kg. Loved every step of the way, but really sad we never had GoPros when I did it, so now being retired I watch as many others doing one of my favourite hikes. I have also completed the Pennine Way twice (once in each direction) ditto Lands End to John OGroats and John OGroats to Lands End and the Complete Coastline of mainland Great Britian (England Scotland and Wales), but I only did that in the clockwise direction. Retired from work 8 months ago and itching to get out on the trail again but I know my Knees would not survive another Hike. 4am start from St Bees end of day 1 at Black Sail YHA, overnight stay cost me £1.50, after than I wild camped most nights. Good Luck on this Hike and any others you do. Tony the Retired Hiker in Essex.

[@WanderandRoam]

Thank you for such a beautiful comment Tony. it sounds like you've been on a lot of adventures and have seen so much Great Britain has to offer.

[@user-TonyUK]

@@WanderandRoam Yes you could say I have put the Miles in to see whats avaiable in the UK Scenery wise, I just wish I could still put the miles in now, but sadly it takes me well over an hour to walk the 1 mile to the nearest Supermarket, BUT I have my memories of seeing ALL of the UK to fall back on. Tony the Retired Hiker in Essex

[@user-TonyUK]

My last Long Distance (in 2012) was Coach up to Darlington then walked in the non stop rain, via the roads to Barnard Castle overnight B&B then carried on walking to MIddleton in Teesdale then followed the river to Low Force and High Force then up and over the Pennines via the Pennine Way to High Cup Nick and onto Dufton in the mist and rain for another overnight B&B before setting off for Kirkby Stephens via the roads another over night at a converted Church YHA/B&B then folllowed the back roads to Nateby, Pendragon Castle and onward to Hawes to revisit the Highest Single drop Waterfall in the UK, another overnight B&B at Hawes then a road walk to visit the Waterfalls at Bainbridge, Aysgarth then more road walking to Richmond to revisit the Falls below the Castle before catching a local bus back to Darlington to once again take the overnight coach back home to Braintree, Essex ready to start work the next day, boy oh boy was I glad to be back at work and spent most of the day sitting at a bench packaging Cosmetics and trying to explain to the women I worked with that for me a Holiday was NOT sitting on a beach in the Sunshine but a gentle Hike in some remote part of England, then with the aid of a map book I showed them my route for the last two weeks. Most just replied no wonder you are so slim, current weight was about 85KG, now wether you put that down to the hiking I have done or the 15 miles per day cycling to work then another 15 mile back home, I will leave that up to you to choose which is more effective weight loss plan, Tony in Essex a Retired Hiker.

[@sally3413]

Loving your vids. Keep them coming!

[@RichardShortland-Neal]

Got to laugh when I saw the start of your video at Crewe station as it’s a station I know well as I use it when going to the Peak District :) I walked the Coast to Coast 12 months ago and loved it and I hope you do too.

[@nobbylad7598]

cracking vid pal. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to part 2 👏👏👏💪

[@WanderandRoam]

Thank you 😊 Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 was uploaded today it's your lucky day 😂

[@touring3604]

Enjoyed this film a lot, hoping to do the coast to coast next year so good to get tips!

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Well done, and nice video. Nice long hike. Have a great week.

[@user-TonyUK]

It was nice to see the NEW Tree Plantation just after you crossed over the M6, that used to be so open and monotonous. It was a case of head down and trudge on.

[@user-TonyUK]

As for you lack of pre-plannning, I always carry enough dried food to last me 5 EXTRA days when out on mega Hikes like this. I guess you can put that down to pre planning for emergencies, always carry enough food and at least 2 litres of water at all times.

[@Chilternwildcamper]

I'm new to thru hiking and I like your honesty about aches and pains at the start. I only do about 12 miles a day haha I wonder if I could do this gorgeous looking hike, maybe the western half. Great vid thanks you have a relaxed genuine delivery.

[@bilbobaggins7340]

HI there mate - thanks for your vid - enjoyed the journey with you - all the way from Vietnam :)

[@user-TonyUK]

Yes the Lake District can be tough, but the monotony of the Yorkshire Moors is yet to come more days of uphill and down dales until you reach the disused rail route to the Red Lion. That at least is level and easy to walk on.

[@WanderandRoam]

All three parts are out now if you want to watch the struggle 🙈 🤣

[@user-TonyUK]

@@WanderandRoam I am currently watching Part 2 and will continue to watch until RHB is reached.

[@NikkiEvernight]

Good on you, and bice video!

[@slazbury15]

Really enjoyed just subscribed. 👍

[@paulhuggan-cammack2928]

Slow down, and really absorb where you are. Probably your most important backpacking lesson. 👍

[@sclarke1221]

Thanks for sharing atb

[@davebirds5667]

Great video 👍 good drones shots, that’s what I do on my channel 😊 I’ve wanted to do C2C for a couple of yrs. Hoping to do it later this year or April/May next. Looking forward to the other parts. Just sub’d to the channel. Take care ATB Dave

[@rbreiff73]

Enjoying your videos. Just honest filming and no 'gobshite youtube personality' stuff 🙂. I did the c2c a couple of Mays ago over 6 days, and you're bringing back some great memories, thanks. Whats your sun hoodie?

[@WanderandRoam]

Thanks 😊 Hopefully I will be making some more videos soon. The sun hoodie is an Amazon purchase £20 and search Tacvasen sun protection

[@dylanwynroberts]

This popped up in my timeline and enjoyed watching it. I have done the lakes bit but need to return to finish the journey. Can I ask what did you use to film it?

[@WanderandRoam]

Main camera was the GoPro Hero 10 with a FitStill windslayer.

[@tomkelly8366]

saw this is prep for me and my dad doing the coast to coast this coming july what are your recommended essentials for it

[@WanderandRoam]

Essentials: Blister plasters, Sun cream, Electrolyte tablets, Map or phone with all trails, Trail running shoes rather than boots, Good walking socks. I should really do a kit video of all I took tbh

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

This came up as an advice to watch. 1 question, why do it so fast?

[@WanderandRoam]

Limited time off work unfortunately 😕

[@richardhunter7363]

Looking forward to the next video. Walked C2C Sep 22 (but much more sensibly - hotel2hotel with luggage transfers and a guide so you don't get lost. lol).
