As the walk progresses I leave behind the lakes and move into the Yorkshire Dales. A different landscape and farming practices. I get to see my first red squirrel.

Just completed your video trilogy. I really enjoyed it and your perception and commentary. Wonderful scenery and the feet-on-the-ground experience was well conveyed. Thanks for letting us hear all the sounds. I like music but it is seldom relevant in most of the videos on KZbin. It was a good decision to preserve the soundtrack. There were many wonderful sounds. May this be a good example for other KZbinrs. Congratulations on the completion. I hope and trust your shoes treated your feet well and that you are in better shape for having walked 192 miles. I am sure your soul is. You are a good man.

I organised six groups of students and staff running the C to C a few years ago and had to plan six ten mile legs every day for fourish days. It took ages to provide maps and route directions for every leg but only one group got lost and they were led by an ex marine who should be able to navigate! Of course I chose to run the easier legs but still carried my pebble all the way. Well done to you Sandy, great effort and a great film.

Looked like you enjoyed that pint Sandy.seemed like a couple might have been manageable. When you filmed that road the absence of music seemed to make the godawful traffic noise absolutely roar. It really brought home the horror of urban racket and the total din modern civilisation inflicts upon us . As for your meditation on contentment ... can't agree more . Strive as much as we want, aspire as much as we want , but in the end tally we only get one crack at this life thing , of which we are aware. Life isn't a rehearsal, so we musy enjoy the one we make for ourselves and those you care for. You're doing well , keep flying the flag for us ' older 'uns ' .

A description of the beer would make many of us happy :-) 2) When you mentioned Gunneside you got my attention..... 3) St Edmund the Martyr. He went over the top. RIP Edmund. Lest We Forget. 4) Yes Sandy. Every hobby has its magazine. Can you believe there's one for walking ??? Imagine that for a moment.... a magazine for people who put one foot in front of the other. 5) At 21:40 - for all those who read my droll comments - This is how Traktor Eggs are created. The big question is, Did the traktor come before the egg or the other way around ? 6) At 23:40 - What is the beer ? What name, style and description please good yeoman. 7) Swiss Army Knife !!!! So uncool that it's cool. They are great tools. I recommend The Camper, The Climber, The Farmer and or The Ranger. And if you turn up at a party and there's a bottle of wine with a cork - YOU will be the hero. 8) Sandy my friend..... you don't want a huge mansion. Never ending cleaning and maintenance. As an ex chimney sweep myself I can tell you how much hard work it is. A wood cabin in the forest far from civilisation is what you really yearn for...... 9) To quote Austin Powers - "Aaand, I'm done !
