Walking from Dover to Deal - 10 Miles Along the UK Kent Coast on my Birthday 🌊• April Daily Vlogs

[@annehayward3506]

What a lovely walk,don’t think I’d have managed the first lot of steps lol. Dani’s a very special man and it’s quite clear the affection you two have for each other. I’ve saved this for Saturday morning so I could enjoy it uninterrupted and I’m very pleased I did. Thank you for sharing your birthday with us, stay safe love and hugs xx

[@pamelabartlett6352]

What a lovely husband is Dan, saying he loves spending time with you Allie. He’s a gem. Sorry you did t feel well, never nice when out, hope you feel better soon.

[@deborahsmith2912]

You’re such a trooper to keep walking until you reached the goal and kept up your good spirits. Dan is a gem to tell you how much he loves you. Hope you feel better soon.

[@barbarah9741]

What a beautiful day! I loved seeing all of the sights on your walk ---- you and Dan have such fun together and it's always so nice of you both to share with us!

[@kellyfazekas7831]

It's so heartwarming to hear that you actually enjoy spending time together and can get talking done and issues settled as well as just talking about nothing important. I think so many couples lose that as they take each other for granted and get too used to each other. I hope and pray you continue as you are.

[@mariac4602]

So nice to see a good marriage. None are perfect but you can see the commitment you both have. Beautiful!

[@jericho1961]

So, so sorry feeling rubbish threw a cloud over part of your lovely walk. Hope you feel right as rain very soon. There were so many lovely stopping spots with gorgeous vistas, it would have taken me forever to keep moving forward. Needless to say, I'm sure there was a collective "Ahhhh" when Dan professed to be there mostly to spend time with you. Lovely video and you picked the perfect music for it. Thanks for taking us along.

[@journeysthroughknitting9830]

I struggle to think of anything better than the sound of the sea lapping against the shore! (mountain stream trickling over rocks is a very close second). That was a big hike up the cliffs! I am just starting to be able to walk again after a year of medical issues and it feels amazing being able to use my body again to do something so simple as walking. I try to never take it for granted (this isn't the first time I've had medical issues take away physical abilities). Sorry you started feeling so poorly! 10 miles is along walk - 16 km which I think is the longest hike I've ever done. You are a trooper sticking it out! Such lovely and thoughtful gifts from your girls!

[@Annascraftyamore]

Aww so sorry you were feeling poorly on your birthday walk, it was a glorious day for you with beautiful views. I loved the white cliffs of Dover and the terrace style house with the coloured fronts 🙋🏻‍♀️💞🌻

[@mickeyc3096]

The Cliffs of Dover are so beautiful! I had to chuckle as you were climbing the steps. I would have had to take many breaks going up those! Thank you for taking us on your beautiful journey. I am sorry that you became ill. Being that I am watching this on Saturday, I can guess that you are better now. Happy belated birthday!🎂🎈🎉

[@pattyomalley833]

So sorry you ended up sick on your birthday, Ali. You are to be commended for doing a 10-mile walk at all! I don't think I could even do 5 miles! Hope you are better soon. Happy Birthday!

[@charrissereynolds1509]

The paths / trails you have that go through pastures, towns, beaches facinate me! It feels like you're walking in the middle of nowhere at times...and I wonder how in the world you know you're on the right path. Bakery Bears go on these hikes as well. I always am afraid you're going to get lost. Thank-you for sharing your journey. I'm sorry you didn't feel well the whole time! :(

[@debbieraby]

So sorry you ended up with the cold but oh what a glorious walk! My husband and I regularly walk through our part of North Portland, Oregon and always solve all the problems! We mapped out a 3.6 mile route through the neighborhood which I walked 3-4 times each week during the 18 months I was on Covid furlough. I returned to my job as a church office administrator last July and have been able to do my walk once or twice each week. However, after next week I am retired and I look forward to more frequent walks in the neighborhood and in the forests near us. I hope you feel better soon - Happy Birthday! 🎉🥳💜

[@emmadunn3808]

What a beautiful walk, so sorry you felt unwell. Lovely gifts from your wonderful daughters. Thank you for sharing this loveliness

[@teresab126]

Hope you are feeling better Ali! Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎊🎁🎈 Thank you so much for taking us along on your walk! Loved Dan’s comment! Almost spit my coffee!! “I can’t believe I married this woman! Lunatic “ 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@darlenewatkins4999]

[@elisabatsmiletime7603]

What a lovely vlog . Enjoyed every minute of it seeing beautiful country side through the eyes of a lovely couple 😊. I was last in Dover in the 70s catching the hover craft to France ,it was nice to see it again. Love all your vlogs your girls are so lovely. I’m originally from Hammersmith ,I’ve been living in Australia for over 40 years and raised 5 daughters . Watching you feels like home 😊. Keep up the good work 😊. Happy Birthday Ali get well soon . Love from Oz 🇦🇺

[@megcarr3126]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful coast as you did your walk. I hope that you are feeling much better soon. I think that Dan may have also been right about the water as well as your cold. We need to keep up our water intake, myself included! Happy birthday Ali, hope that you had a lovely day, in spite of the rubbish cold. 🎂🎁🎉

[@keerichards7294]

Thank you Allie and Dan, for taking us along your beautiful walk! Hope you are feeling better now Allie🤞❤️

[@suedale1865]

Sad to hear you felt out of sorts on your beautiful walk hope by now 21st you are feeling better 👍 Thank you both for what filming you did for us all to enjoy I would have flagged at the first set of Dover cliffs steps my breathing ( chestiticals ) my family call my lungs would have struggled so full of admiration & gratitude to you for filming I think you have been fighting off ( immune system ) for good week why you felt peaky Like the squish mallow chicken & Lilia’s spell bottle to rid of anxiety Big virtual hug 🥰

[@mrsgmakes]

Oh what a shame! But I so enjoyed this video, everything about it. Walking is such a lovely thing to do as a couple. And those gifts from the children, so very thoughtful. Happy birthday Ali, hope you feel better soon 💜

[@knittingpunk]

What a lovely reason to walk! I understand how you feel, I can no longer walk more than a few steps but if I am every able to walk again I will walk everywhere I can!

[@suebrown436]

Looks like a fabulous walk. Hope the cold didn't spoil it too much - a walk like that, in fantastic weather, is a great way to spend a birthday!

[@jenniferoden9343]

Thank you for sharing your lovely birthday walk with all of us. I wish you a speedy recovery from your cold!

[@EvieO1950]

Such a wonderful way to spend your birthday and so appreciate you taking us along!! Excited to see the White Cliffs of Dover that I’ve heard and read about. Amazing views and scenery. Quite spectacular to hike somewhere with so much history. I was hollering at you when you said you didn’t feel well and were motion sick - “Quit filming and looking at everything through a view finder.” And the Momma in me was disappointed you started such a hike with no water. 😣. That’s dangerous business the places we hike here in the US. So glad it was a good birthday and I truly enjoyed your filming efforts!!! Beautiful views!!!!

[@joannemorrall4171]

Hi Ali, Oh what a shame you fell unwell on this walk. There is nothing worse than feeling off when out and about. The walk however was absolutely beautiful. I never realised Dover was so stunning and you had such beautiful weather. I really enjoyed this vlog. I do hope you feel better very soon. xx

[@cherylcarlson3315]

clapping for this video. Thank you for touching the stone for me and walking up those steep hills, you did better than I could now and it helped to hear that once medical stuff got sorted you can usually do stuff again. Before I got the med for MG was only able to walk about 300 ft and was totally in pain out of breath and after a year I walked about 1000ft this am but was having blues about isn't what I want to do. Felt like you were talking straight to me, sitting with English rose tea watching you on the big monitor. Hope you feel lots better really soon.

[@alicemerray]

Aww, someone else who kisses when traversing a kissing gate :) We do that too. Your phones'll be charging you for roaming next! Lovely walk, thanks for posting.

[@dianeschnebli692]

Solvitur Ambulando - it is solved by walking . What a wonderful birthday walk . Happy Birthday and I hope you feel better .

[@marionhandsley7959]

The walk looked amazing Ali so beautiful and gorgeous weather. So sorry you was feeling poorly whilst you was out. Hope you are soon feeling better. Love Marion xxx

[@catherinecrochets]

Thanks for taking us along with you on this beautiful walk. So sorry to hear you were feeling unwell though. I hope you’re feeling better now and the Thai curry was as good as it sounded! X

[@patwagner9308]

How lovely ! Thank you for taking us along. Yeah, very important to keep drinking water. Dan's right. I'm sorry you caught a cold but relieved it isn't the dreaded you-know-what. This video will be so nice for your girls to watch.....their mum & dad , just the two of them, walking 10 miles....very special !

[@Tracyscraftingcorner]

A late but heart felt happy birthday Ali. So sorry your walk was ruined by ill health, nothing worse than a nasty cold, I hope you’re feeling better now. I’m with phoebe and agree that you are both mad to even want to walk 10 miles but vicariously I’m glad you did because I super enjoyed it. I’m glad you’ve found something you really enjoy after years of ill health, I don’t far from dover and can say seeing through someone else’s eyes is interesting, like someone reading the same poem but picking up different things from it. Anyway, thanks for an amazing vlog. Oooo and isn’t Dan just the cutest. I loved his reasons for enjoying his walking. You know I think he’s earned those knitting lesson hun 😜. #teachdantoknit

[@heathertucker7056]

I saved this video to watch in bed on Sunday morning especially! I love your walks but very sorry you were poorly in this one though! The walk was beautiful and I so enjoyed watching. I hope you and Dan will do another one in the future. Take care x

[@tinytrekkervlogs]

Stunning scenery captured beautifully 😍. Xxx

[@jeansuk1]

Thankyou Ali and Dan for sharing your amazing walk adventure, it looked amazing. You have a beautiful area to go too. Stay well Ali all the best jeane xx

[@rossiej100]

What a beautiful walk even if you did not feel well for some of it. Thanks for sharing your Birthday walk. xx

[@nancyhollingworth7729]

I'm watching this a long time later than the op but just had to say listen to all those skylarks!!

[@lisahessberg8422]

Happy belated birthday! What a wonderful way to spend your day, but I am SO sorry you didn't feel well. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. If I ever get to England, I would love to do some of that walk and see the cliffs. Thank you for taking us along!!

[@cynthiaspear-duncan7661]

What a stunning hike! always take water. with no large intestine... Much more prone to dehydration

[@suenicholls5446]

😀💕xx thanks both for a lovely vlog. Me and my hubby walk about 5 afternoons each week all year, and love it. Great for our physical and mental health, we are lucky to be retired. A very happy birthday Ali. SO sorry you were feeling unwell. Did you have enough food? I always feel hungry when on a long walk!

[@victoriasmith9334]

What beautiful stunning seas !!! It looks a beautiful walk, what a shame you ended up feeling unwell. Hope it didn't spoil your day too much xx

[@jacquelineglen8985]

What a lovely walk 😀 I am going to miss these daily blogs x

[@yarnhoarder]

How beautiful you look!!! So sorry you weren’t feeling well. Thanks for sharing your walk with us. I would love to copy you guys😊

[@mzmarihudson8013]

what an awesome awesome walk.we do have some national seashore parks here in the US but if that was here by now they wpuld have built up tons of private and vacation rental homes around the war memorials , we used to enjoy the outer banks where my husband had family but now its wall to wall big houses. i think visiting that dover walk is going to have to be included n my wish list, i miss the ocean! Thanks for sharing! I'm shocked you brought no water! our first hiking rule, hydrate hydrate hydrate. kindof drummed into us in kids scouts lol.

[@carolewinstead8270]

It's the Salt Path. Well done!

[@christinephillips2069]

It was a lovely vlog thank you for showing us ,must say I’m glad to see there are still hop gardens in Kent

[@miriamkastwhite1548]

That was a long walk. Good for you and thanks for sharing the beautiful English sights!

[@savyjett]

Awwwwwww. 🥰🥰🥰

[@carolinemartin6196]

Views were fantastic what a beautiful walk

[@deborahking7873]

Happy birthday, I have been looking forward to this video. This is one of my favorite walks when I visit the UK. Oh my I feel so homesick now.☹️

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

What a shame you felt poorly. Well done for finishing the walk, what a trooper. Beautiful views and scenery. I think those underground tunnels featured in a recent Kate Humble walking programme around that bit of coast

[@margaretlaurie4993]

Thanks for sharing your walk Ali. Hope you're feeling better soon. xx

[@belindasbaubles]

Thanks for sharing, the Cliffs of Dover & British Isles in general on my bucket list. Hope you feel better.

[@debguess5533]

Beautiful way to spend your Birthday, hope you are feeling better

[@SallysBackyard]

Lovely vlog! Thank you for sharing the beautiful scenery. Hope you’re feeling better. 😊

[@nicolawood1066]

I really enjoyed this vlog. It’s a shame you felt so unwell. I hope your cold is on the mind and I’m looking forward to the birthday haul. X

[@mandyofmarymac]

I enjoyed your birthday walk, mostly, that is until you felt ill. I hope you are on the mend. I have family living in Surrey. I wonder if they take any long walks. I know I would. Feel better dear Ali. PS...you have such a cool hiking buddy. (No #'s, you're not well enough right now.) xx

[@jillipepper5353]

Aw, that sucked that you felt poorly on your birthday , since my Covid jabs I seem to get motion sickness easily, even watching some videos, definitely every car journey. I keep ginger tablets close at hand when I go in the car. Strange because I never got carsick before that. Thank you for taking us along on your birthday trek, I enjoyed seeing the originals of places with the same name here, Dover and St. Margrets Bay. Our Province has many places named after places in UK, and also some from France since the English and France fought over it for ages, sometimes the English won and took over then the French. Nova Scotia is New Scotland which I guess was decided by whoever held the throne in the UK at the time. There are some row houses painted different colours here as well. Anyway enough blathering, hope you feel better soon and belated Happy Birthday 🎂🙋🏼‍♀️

[@jowatson2607]

I once walked up the White Cliffs of Dover & I thought I was going to die! So steep! I hope you’re feeling better today. Thank you for sharing your day with us x

[@pattyprovost6516]

How wonderful…..

[@carolinecobbold2378]

Dover to me is long journeys from up north squished in the middle seat between my two big brothers on our way to the south of France!

[@alishacooper9423]

Happy birthday Ali! 🥳 Thanks for sharing your lovely walk with us. I love that you and Dan kissed at the kissing gate! I hope you feel much better soon, nothing worse than feeling ill when you've still got further to walk! We also love visiting St Margaret's and Deal (we have family there). Really enjoying all your April vlogs, my 11 year old enjoys watching them too x

[@migdaliasantiago9870]

[@emmaclark2271]

Oh Ali, get well soon. Thank you for taking us on a little day-holiday along those gorgeous white cliffs by the seaside. 💕 Happy Birthday and rest up xxxxxx

[@iceflowercrochet8717]

The whole first half of the walk I was thinking how wonderful, how amazing (I'd collapse on those steps up to the cliff!!!) and then when you began to feel yuck I was really worried for you! I'm so glad you got back safely. It must have been the combination of dehydration and the cold starting in on you. Your birthday presents from your girls were so touching. The sweet squishmallow and then Lillia's so very kind and caring present. That brought a little tear to my eye, I must say. You have lovely lovely people for daughters. Oh, and I'm glad to see you do kissing gates properly!!

[@suzannes1625]

You two are such a gorgeous couple. Happy Birthday Ali. 🌺Thanks for taking us on your walk.

[@NNYDebbie]

What a wonderful way to spend your birthday. Sorry about you feeling unwell. I’m with Dan on the dehydration but could have also been a combination with the start of a cold. Hope you feel better soon. My hubby and I walk almost everyday (we are mostly retired) and it is such a balm for both of us. So much talking and sharing and enjoying the natural world around us.

[@imkristinmakes2772]

Loved this! Hope you feel better!!!

[@wendyluvsbooks1580]

What a beautiful walk … thank you for taking us with you 😘 and happy birthday 🥳… and I hope you feel better soon 💞…. And look forward to seeing what you got for your birthday 🥳…….📚💞📚

[@katana164]

What a terrific and picturesque walk. You both did well and I'm so sorry you felt unwell Ali but you pushed through. Isn't always the way when you've got some days off you fall ill. Feel better soon. 😃🚶‍♂🚶‍♀

[@lesleyjackson19]

I hope you enjoyed your birthday despite feeling unwell on your walk. The weather and scenery were beautiful. Me and my husband love walking too, you can't beat fresh air and exercise for lifting the mood. I hope you feel better today. xx

[@traceywithane8489]

What a lovely walk, shame you felt unwell, especially on your birthday. Hope you're feeling better today. Thanks for sharing your day xx

[@ericallerton809]

Happy birthday!!!what a perfect weather day!!!and scenery,,,,Loved every minute!,, So🏝🗻🏞sorry u felt unwell half way through!!,! Feel better soon,Ali,,, Elaine 🏡🏡🏡🏡

[@janettehinchliffe]

Happy birthday Ali. It was so lovely to come along with you. I miss walking, I need a wheelchair now so routes like that are not available to me, if I ever recover I would love to take it up again. Dan's comments about your marriage were beautiful and he showed us how much he loves you. I'm sorry you started to feel unwell, I hope you are better today xxx

[@Kiltsnquilts]

I totally agree with Dan, that sounds like dehydration to me (not a doctor, speaking from experience 😉) Loved your walk, thanks for taking us along and hope you feel better soon. Your gifts were delightful and so thoughtful.

[@TheCatlady63]

Happy Birthday Ali. Not surprising you feel a bit off far to many steps! just after lunch. I can walk forever but steps do me in. Hope you lurgie doesn't take too much out of you. Take care. x

[@lorengaffin4469]

Happy Birthday!🎂
