Beal Campsite to Berwick Upon Tweed along the East Coast Path

After walking the St Cuthbert's way I needed to catch the train home from Berwick-Upon-tweed. I decided to walk along the relatively newly formed English Coastal Path section between Holy Island and Berwick.
It is about ten miles and was a very rewarding walk. Starting fairly early in the morning the sun enhanced the features of the route in it's early light, and to be with nature as it wakened to a new day was inspiring.
The highlight of the walk was seeing a pod of dolphins out to sea, leaping in the air doing summersaults and seeming enjoying life at sea.
Unfortunately my camera didn't seem to cope too well with the early morning sunlight, so I apologies for some of the camera work.
It w...

This was a real mixture of a day. I had to wait for the tides to be right to cross over to Holy Island via the Pilgrims Path, which wasn't until mid afternoon. So I spent the morning hanging around the camp site which after a few hours became a little tedious, I just wanted to get on with the walk. Finally around three I started walking across the sands, it was an amazing experience, I found it...

This was a great days walking and I had the pleasure of sharing some of it with fellow pilgrims along the way. The landscape was different again fields of crops and cattle less wild than the previous two days. It was also exciting to see the goal of my walk in the last few miles of my walk the sea beckoned with a sense of anticipation holding the island in it's waves.

This is a very short video, but then it was a short walking day. Only about eight miles to the town of Wooler. It was though one of my favourite days, I was all alone with amazing views walking across the hills, it was a fine morning it all felt super chilled out. Also I must admit I was looking forward to arriving at the hostel and having a clean up and a proper bed. I arrived at Wooler a bit ...

One of the highlights of my walk was walking over the Cheviot hills. They are so wild and lonesome. When you are in the midst of them there is not a single road or building to be seen, and I don't think I met a single person. Arriving at Kirk Yetholme was special, it is where the Pennine way finishes which I completed in 2014. It brought back many memories of sore feet, a welcome relief and sen...

On the second day of my walk the landscape evolved from woods and rivers, into rolling hills and fields of ripening wheat as I headed towards the Cheviots. It was another inspiring day immersed in the beauty of the land I felt somewhat reclusive in my own world of pleasure and imagery of the monks who used this trail in there life of devotion. My aim in doing these videos is to create memories ...

I have been wanting to walk St Cuthbert's Way since 2016, don't ask me why it has taken me so long to do it because I don't know ! Officially it is a 62.5 mile hike, but with detours to camp sites etc I think it ends up being more like 70 miles. It is one of the most beautiful walks I have ever done, the scenery is stunning and very varied, woods, rivers, hills and fields of wheat. Walking acro...

Day six was my final day walking the coastal path. It seemed to go by faster than the others and I reached Cowes a little after midday. Sorry about the wobbly videoing maybe it was last day fatigue or that nearing the finish feeling !

Days four and five are probably my favourite days walking. I loved walking along the cliffs after Chale and along Compton Down and Tennyson Down. The sea, sand and cliffs were majestic in a bright blue sky, I felt a great sense of freedom and life.

Isle of Wight Coastal Path Part 2

After a pretty good nights sleep (eventually) I walked from the heights of the Bembridge Downs down to Sandown and on to Shanklin and Ventnor finishing at Saint Catharine's Head the most southerly tip of the Isle of Wight. It was an enjoyable but demanding walk at times because this was the stretch where I encountered the most diversions due to cliff erosion.

When I was a teenager I used to camp on the Isle of Wight each year with the Boys Brigade near White Cliff Bay. I have many great memories of these camps and have often thought of re visiting the island. The Isle of Wight coastal path is between 68 and 70 miles around the circumference of the island hugging the the coast line as much as possible. Unfortunately over the past few years there has ...

I was invited to join some hardy adventurers doing the Zip Line Adventure over the Penrhryn Quarry in Snowdonia in aid of Rainbows Hospice in Loughborough. It was a sponsored challenge to raise money for Rainbows which is a charity that provides support and palliative care for children and young people and their families. The real hero of the day was Iris who at 84 years old showed us that you ...

Continuing my exploration of the Cotswolds we set off from Ablington to walk about 8/9 miles on a circular walk that would take in three or four small villages. I particularly wanted to see Arlington Row, a row of cottages in Bibury built in 1380 as a monastic wool store but later converted into weavers cottages in the 17th centuary. It is one of the most photographed locations in the Cotswolds...

The final length of my walk. It is always an odd day there is the reward of completing your goal but the sense of loss that the adventure is coming to an end. Even so I enjoyed the day and spent a good portion of it reflecting upon the Cleveland Way Trail and it's highlights. The big question now is where next? Once you have been bitten by the trail bug it is hard to stop, and there is so much ...
