Doors in walls? That had me laughing! (Surely you've heard of a gate?)
😂 Yeah WTF 🤷♂️😂
Love Liam's video!
Although all I could think each time we saw him walking toward or away from the camera, was that he had to walk extra steps to set up or retrieve the camera once he'd filmed it!
Just what I was thinking! And all those drone shots must have taken some time.
Here in England we have a quaint old word for the doors in the walls, we call them gates; crazy, I know. 😉
And the ones that aren't actually full gates are called stiles (an arrangement of steps that allows people but not animals to climb over a fence or wall)
Thanks James. The big problem here...is that most of the world speaks American English...have done for many years now. ' English' English is...as you said ...quaint.
@@almamunrowhere did you get the idea that most of the world speaks American English?
As far as I’m aware English (British English) is the most common form of English taught as a 2nd language in all of the former British Empire, and current Commonwealth countries (there are currently 54 commonwealth countries).
British English is also the most common 2nd language in Europe.
British English is the form of English used in China as well.
Of the former British colonies that remained majority English speaking. They all speak a form of English that was directly derived from British English.
And spelling and word usage in Australian English, New Zealand English, South African English, even Indian English. Is much more similar to British English than American English.
Also they use the word gate in American English as well.
@@almamunrogain as far as I knew. American English is the type of English preferred obviously in the US. But also Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
But the rest of the world is taught British English. Most of Africa, Europe, Caribbean, half of Asia.
Or has their own form of English directly derived from British English.
*Canadian English does have a lot of American English influence.
Strangely, so many people DON'T know just how many types of 'gap, gate or stile' exist in the UK or that they must follow and comply with legal specifications (BSi Standards). From an official 'gap' in a hedge to a KCG (or Kent Carriage Gap); to a 'horse stile', 'a 'dog gate', a kissing gate', a 'bridal gate'; even 'extra tall versions' of those mentioned (to control the passage of certain animals, E.G. 'high' jumping deer) or to those controlled by up-to-date RADAR locks (for use by disabled people). Obviously, through use, these obstacles can get worn and need to be checked and maintained; but some very old versions have needed to be 'enlarged' to allow easy access for the increasing size of the average Brit and overseas visitors!
I personally have completed this Hike twice both averaging 18 to 20 miles a day carying 30 to 40 pounds in weight with spare clothes, food and tent sleeping back and cooking equiptment camping most night in the middle of no where. Loved every minute of it.
I must say, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this lovely video, and what a genuinely nice guy ❤
His accent is softer than Yorkshire so generally speaking you would plump for Lancashire in order not to offend (remember the Wars of the Roses?) 🤣
03:18 scenes like that and throughout the video exist all over the UK and Ireland.
Watched this on the Natasha and Debbie show channel the other day Great Video! Couple of questions! who flew the drone as we see him walking down a path and the drone flies over! and all the walking away from the Camera does he do that then have to walk back and pick it up?
@@rebeccat94 Must be tiring keep going back to collect the Camera lol Oh yeah re looked at the drone Footage and the guy walking down has a green top not a green Back Pack! Thanks for replying have a great week!
It's an amazing long distance trail. It crosses three National Parks across the North of England. Each of the National Parks, quite different. All three, very beautiful.
I’ve been to Robin Hoods Bay, but I drove. I also had scampi and chips for the first time in Whitby. Loved that part of the country.
Loved this ! Thanks for sharing 👍✨. I can see you doing this walk maybe, with a friend or a group?
Robin Hood's Bay is a good childhood memory. We often did this as a day trip from Scarborough where we kept a caravan for holidays and to rent out to others.
Ancient right of way , all farmers are responsible for to maintain the gates and trail making sure the assess is clear for walkers BUT walkers are also responsible not to deviate from the path and not destroy or change anything each side of the path / walkway THIS IS RESPECTED BY BOTH PARTIES AND ALL ARE HAPPY LITTLE VEGIMITES
🤣👏👍🤷♀️
Nice video, really enjoyed. His accent sounds Manchester or Lancashire.
16:08. The trails are public footpaths. Public Footpaths provide means for the ordinary public and professional people such as doctors, soldiers, police etc, to traverse (usually desolate parts) of the UK landscape between key destinations using the shortest route. Consequently, public footpaths frequently cross through/over private land, such as farms, country estates and even military land. Public footpaths have existed in the UK since about 5000 BC.
When a public footpath crosses private land such as a farm, the land owner by UK law (with the exception of certain footpaths on military land) must always allow access to the footpath 24/7 - 365 and also maintain the footpath. Equally, the people using a footpath across private land, such as a farm by UK law must stick strictly to the footpath and not trespass beyond the footpath into other areas of the private land the footpath is crossing.
@@rebeccat94 That's not remotely what I'm saying at all. I said it to highlight the fact that many footpaths going back 100s of years were not originally created just for general roaming by everybody. Many were deliberately created specifically to provide shortcut routes primarily for doctors, police officers etc, rather than specifically for the general public. So that the local doctor and police officer, etc could get to different parts of the local area quickly by taking the shortest as the crow flies routes across private land.
In the days before the motor car, the people with the most complete familiarity of all the footpaths in the local area were the local doctors and police officers using them at all times of day and night to move about the whole local area quickly. In fact, many public footpaths began life as private secure footpaths, known and accessible only to professional people such as doctors and police officers.
Why do some people just love to make something out of nothing and completely make up their own issues from that something to complain about??? 🙄 Also, why shouldn't doctors, police officers and soldiers be regarded as extraordinary? They all do a job, which is more extraordinary than most jobs.
@@rebeccat94 Not quite. A person working on a fish gutting line isn't putting their own safety in regular jeopardy like a police officer is, nor are they literally responsible for holding an unwell person's life in their hands or saving a person's life like a doctor is.
There's a channel called 9B4M The family Adventures in which a American family document the lives living in England. They recently covered the subjects of ancient trakways. Also they did a series covering English county shows the best one is in Kent. They are similar to American state fairs.
Loved this - I knew you’d say you’d love to do this (I would too, I hitchhiked from the middle of England to the Mediterranean at 20 - that was an adventure! No hotels, no powerbanks - no mobiles - no internet!), but also know how you like cleanliness at all times - would you cope? Sometimes you have to ruff it, and I’ve not even touched on toilet needs (let’s not touch on them - lol). Also, as regards time, I haven’t had a watch since the 1980’s and I soon learnt you quickly adapt to sensing the time by the light and position of the sun. Springs are a great source of fresh water - sheep’s urine adds a certain je ne sais pas. Cumbria is the wettest area of England.
Public footpaths are ancient walkways and often cross farmers fields where hedges have gone as fields have gotten larger. It’s an ongoing battle to preserve the right to use them, while landowners fight for the right to protect their land. There are also stiles and latch gates on walkways in London. I notice the sheeps’ there are docked, in the Cotswolds they keep the tails - hence the term Cotswold Lions.
Brekkie and beer - hair of the dog.
Cumbria, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors are all awesome.
That poor pebble will know no one, it’ll be all alone! haha
Thanks Joel, probably the best video you've reacted to in a while.
Probably a complete coincidence but I watched a reaction to this on the Natasha and Debbie show last night 😀
Walked this in 1996 with mates. Absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend it
Most of the trails are ancient rights of way,and most of the styles and gates are maintained by the national trust. I was in Robin Hoods Bay last week,-4 centigrade. A bit bracing!
You should also have a look at the West Highland Way which takes you through the Highlands of Scotland through towns and villages. The route is about 154km or 96 miles from end to end and you can spend the night in a bothy.
That bugger's not got a Yorkshire accent: sounds refined Birmingham to me.
His accent is from Manchester. (A Mancunian accent). It's a nice accent on the ears.
Walking The Cotswold Way is much nicer. Better weather. Greener. Not so Harsh. Lovely gentle rolling hills.
Really like this guy
It's a shame Liam didn't point out some of the landmarks on the way..For instance, I don't think Joel realised or noticed the Bronze Age burial mound, which Liam only pointed his camera at and didn't give us time to read all the plaque's script..So Joel missed it and a couple of other interesting landmarks as well..
There's a village beneath the water at Haweswater!
"It was the peak of the English springtime. Flowers and trees were as green as ever..........." 30 seconds later, camera pans to a deciduous forest, prior to the trees coming into leaf. As ever, these reactions can't make up for poor source material...........
edit: Having watched the whole video, he's only a young lad, it was quite enjoyable, and his narration can only get better.
i walked the coast to coast back in 2000, absolutely stunning and probably the best thing i,ve ever achieved
How do you confuse a geologist in 2000 years? Chuck a pebble from the East coast into the North Sea!
I don’t know why, but Liam reminds me of Cillian Murphy.
Can't wait for you to come back to us and take a similar walk x
We have the Right to Roam going through farms we keep to the paths or near them if they are not walkable stiles and gates the sheep and cattle cannot manage are usually laid on if you keep to the correct route. If you cannot the agreement is you must lock all gates behind you. The farmers are fantastic.
27:10 His accent is more Lancashire than Yorkshire, to my ears.
In ENGLAND and WALES they have designated "rights of way" across private land. Lots of them. Here in SCOTLAND you have the "right to roam" anywhere, within reason. Scottish Law is quite different. Quite a nice video but he didn't film the best highlights of the Coast to Coast walk and didnt do it justice, I feel. He had a very nice manner though.
Really enjoyed that one even though im in the UK i like to see parts ive not been too, a bit further he could go for fish n chips in whitby ..i would.
Funny how a lot of RUclipsrs seem to " react" to the same videos one after another !
2.40. Why the laughter !? What did he say that you found funny ?
Hiking
His accent sounds more Manchester to me.
The Right to Roam has been a right for thousands of years. In 2000, Labour put it into law, to prevent landowners from blocking paths. Those using the right to roam paths are expected to follow the rules of the countryside and respect the land / not litter etc.
Accent deffo mancunian he sounds like me.
You don't know the UK but you supposedly know what the UK is like wow
I've walked coast to coast across Scotland. It is satisfying!
Most trails are on ancient rights of way. They are preserved for walkers and it’s widely accepted that you follow the countryside way :)
www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-countryside-code/the-countryside-code-advice-for-countryside-visitors
Rights of way are a fascinating topic that'd probably be worth a video of their own. Essentially if the way is known / can be shown to be in use for longer than private land ownership, then the right of way was there first and the public maintains the right. They can be gated to prevent sheep & cattle wandering off, and can be re-routed within reason (eg to go around the edge of a field instead of through crops), but they can't be blocked. It's a great historical oddity, but a complete affront to the american take on private land ownership.
(I'm not sure all of these are rights of way though. I know there's some near us that are on private property, by agreement, and are closed one day a year to exercise that ownership and prevent them becoming rights of way.)
Absolutely love that lad Liam and his perspective on life. Finding peace and delight in the natural beauty... A truly human video.
Ah, Liam Brown, another RUclipsr to whom I have subscribed. It's fascinating watching him hike through the countryside, and the views are indeed stunning, but that's something I'll probably never do because I dislike camping or hiking. Liam is a former soldier, by the way - his oldest videos about being in the Army is why I subscribed to him in the first place. So he's probably used to roughing it - no showers, ration packs, having to dig your own toilets etc.
Thats why they call Yorkshire Gods Country
It's called the right to roam and means there are lots of private lands you can walk across as long as you stick to the correct paths
More accurately the 'right to roam' means you can walk over all the land (as long as it is not a garden, industrial premises, quarry, military training area, airport or farmland filled with livestock you might frighten or crops you could damage etc) which we have in Scotland. Some parts of England and Wales do have areas of free roaming allowed, but mostly insist you stick to 'public rights of way', i.e. marked and mapped footpaths, tracks, bridleways, which it is illegal to block or close. There are less marked and mapped footpaths in Scotland as a result, but only because you can walk almost anywhere over the land as an ancient right.
I bet when he called the sheep ugly. I wonder if the sheep were thinking "look who's talking".
I loved that. It was excellent. As it wasn’t over the top with editing, it felt very authentic and made you really believe you were walking with him (if that makes any sense). You should react to more of his walking videos - he has loads.
I could just see you walking with Liam, Joel. You'd make good travelling partners!
Have a look a UK Walking trails,it will show the that the uk is covered, and I mean covered with public right of ways.
As you can see the whole of England is totally overpopulated - where do these crazy notions come from! In our teens a group of 8 - 10 of us used to go hiking in the Lake District, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire National Park etc. We would camp or stay in Youth Hostels. The walks were carefully planned to land on a pub around lunchtime where we would have a decent lunch along with 3 - 4 pints of beer. We would then walk it off, land in a place near another pub in the evening and have a proper drinking session - 8 - 10 pints! Next day we would get up fresh as daisies and repeat daily for a week or two. If I drank like that now I'd be in a coma after the first day. The detox abilities of the young human body is mind-blowing 😂
@uutthyu We are literally one of the most populated countries per square mile in the world..🤷♂️
See this already was reacted by Natasha & Debbie reaction channel on sunday
Fantastic video & reaction. Have not done the coast to coast trail but have visited all three of those National Parks. The North York Moors look better in Summer when the Heather is in flower. They look like they have been covered in a purple blanket then. Whitby is really worth a visit. Very picturesque seaside town with a lot of history. Famous for being one of the settings for Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula".
Some nice places there. Joel, you should check out GeoWizard's channel. He does a lot of 'wacky' attempts. Like crossing the country in a straight line, or kicking a foot ball across the country. He's helped spur on a lot of other people to compete in the challenges.
I watched this video on another reaction channel. I was so impressed with it that I've started watching Liam's other videos, well worth subscribing to!
Hiya Steve, was it Natasha and Debbie show
My guess on his accent would be lancastrian, maybe round Manchester area.
To be fair, you'd want to walk the North Yorkshire Moors in summer, when all the heather is flowering, just a blanket of purple.
Footpaths all over Britain some go back at Least 5000 years, When Madonna lived in Britain she bought a property with alot of Land and went to the High Court to get a Footpath which crossed her land closed, The court said no .Its an ancient right of way. Bet she wasn't happy. Money and fame are not everything in Britain.
In the fairness of the channel, you should do a coast to coast walk in the US 😂
😂
Joel should walk from Alaska to Florida and see how long it takes
@@paulguise698 would probably get shot on the way😂
Glad you enjoyed the video Joel, I really hope you make it back to the UK this summer 💕
Liam's accent is more Mancunian (Manchester), not Yorkshire. In Scotland there is an established Right to Roam so you can walk and camp nearly anywhere. In England and Wales there are numerous public footpaths marked on maps and usually signposted. Legal rights are enshrined in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW). Footpaths, bridges, stiles, signage etc is supposed to be maintained by County Councils who employ CROW officers, and farmers are also supposed to help keep them up and keep them open. It is fantastic to get lost in the countryside away from it all! I should add that most of these rights of way had existed for decades but were clarified, tidied up and brought together under a single piece of legislation.
I agree with you, @RevBen F, to my ears Liam's accent is more Manc or Lancashire than Yorkshire. As I currently live in East Lancashire but have also lived in Manchester his accent sounds like he's from either of those two places rather than from across the Pennines in Yorkshire.
Yes I agree about the accent, I live in the area and I would place that accent as Manchester, possibly Salford.
As a Yorkshireman,I can definitely tell you that this fella is not from Yorkshire.
I believe hes from cheshire, from watching his videos thats where his parents house is
@@MollyCooper-zu9ks that was my guess too
you sometimes in summer see groups of teens hiking for many hours during the day across the countryside as they do there DoFe, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. they have to walk so many miles per day with no phones on. only maps and compass fending for themselves with food brought with them and no café stops along the way.
Liam, sounds like he’s from Warrington. You can hear hints of Liverpool and Manchester in his accent, that and I spent a lot of time in Warrington. Love his videos
lol, just saw this same one on Natasha and Debbie show
The gateways, gaps and stiles are in many cases older than the farms they are on, since they form part of the infrastructure of the ancient Public Right of Way system in the UK. These are enshrined in law, and any landowner who attempts to do away with them will be prosecuted. So, less an agreement with the hikers, more an 'agreement' with the government! At one point you commented how 'desolate' the scenery was, and I was surprised. To me, it looked peaceful and natural, undisturbed, rather than bleak or lonely. It just shows that what your eyes are used to affects your response.
Did the pennine way in 83 280 miles mozzies were a bstrd
that was a great video Joel, i reckon we all pretty much enjoyed it too. Liam did a good job on this. thanks for bringing it to us
I watched an American couple watch this same video they were in awe of the beauty of our countryside but the one thing I couldn't stop thinking of how many times he had to double back to retrieve his camera out more steps on his journey and carrying his drone as well hats off to him.
Natasha and Debbie show
@@paulguise698 yes 😁
In awe...
I watched this on Natasha and Debbies channel too... been watching most of Liams videos since!
@@anncopson6615 predictive text 😁
How beautiful is that? It is the responsibility of the landowners to preserve the public right of way, including gates etc.
I had to chuckle, his journey could have taken half the time if he didn't have to keep back tracking to pick up his camera. Great video though. It's a shame he didn't vlog his time in Whitby which is a place you should definitely consider visiting the next time you're in the UK.
Nobody knows how old the Footpaths and Ways are; possibly 10,000 years. They were established by public use, and they were there before farming was invented by mankind and the land was turned into farms by clearing the scrub and digging seaweed and charcoal into the soil over hundreds of generations. So farmers would really have no right to obstruct the Ways.
It's called Public Footpaths. They are part of the Right to Roam which had to be fought for in the 1930s by working class hikers doing mass trespasses to highlight the issue for parliament and clog up the courts with trespassing cases. It was a class issue at the time bcause walking in the country was one of the few forms of holidaying and recreation available to urban workers. Essentially a public footpath is established when hikers take a certain route across fences and walls and fields enough times that it can be registered with the local authority, usually a county council, and the Ordinance Survey maps can be updated. Then the parks department or the National Trust, whoever does conservation work, sets up marker posts, stiles and extra gates along the route so that subsequent hikers don't stray off it. There's always a certain amount of Nimbyism with it, and some landowners wanting to close them off and shouting at walkers, but it's generally peacefully resolved. But it's one of those things that's a moving target and an ongoing struggle between private property and the people. The other side of the deal is that walkers have to obey the Countryside Code, which is a literal rulebook like the Highway Code book is for drivers, that tells you have to control any dogs you bring with you, take adequate precautions against getting stuck out in the open overnight, never harm livestock, shut gates again behind you, not light fires or litter - stuff like that.
He's mad, Yorkshire is gorgeous, and I'm from Lancashire so I shouldn't be saying that
Wales needs some love! We have a stunning 870-mile long coastal path that covers the whole of the country! (We were the first country in the world to achieve this.) 'Rough Guide' have an excellent 10-minute video on 'Walking the Wales Coast Path', and 'Matt Walk Wild' gives an insight into what it's like to wild camp along just a part of it in his 'Solo Hike of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path' videos, of which I would probably recommend 'Week 2' over 'Week 1'. (They're both 10 minutes long.)
There's the Offa's Dyke walk too - so you can encompass the whole country.
@@ruthholbrook Indeed! How cool is that! 🏴
How about the Long Mynd in Shropshire on the Welsh border?
@@Pluggit1953 Another iconic and beautiful area. That being said, I'm really trying to draw attention across the border into Wales proper. We're fast becoming a forgotten nation, especially when it comes to things like visiting American tourists! 😅
The national trails are the result of many years of painstaking negotiation between organisers and landowners. Some are ancient roadways and others are more modern. The National Trust is a charity that does a lot of this.
The paths were there long before the farms or ownership of land.
There is no civil trespass in UK like in USA. Footpaths cross all sorts of land. The only truly off limits areas are military type installations. Even so, you can walk across Salisbury plain, just take note of the signs warning of tanks and live training!!
The coast is no more than 72 miles from anywhere in the UK. There might be a mountain in the way, or a big city or town, but yes, only 72 miles.
Most walking trails are from ancient times before the farmers and landowners owned the land. They are protected by law. The styles or kissing gates help the farmers keep livestock contained. Something called the country code helps you understand how to do your bit to protect these places and be respectful to farmers lands. Madonna bought a home and land with a protected trail, she tried to take it to court to get it closed to the public. She failed.
Imagine shooting someone just because they walked across your field.
All around England we have public footpaths some lead right across private land
A FARMER CAN NOT BLOCK THE ROUTES THERE WAS SET UP MANY YEARS AGO ,THE GATES GET MAITAINED WHEN BROKEN.
Joel, we have a very impressive public rights-of-way PROW system that stems from ancient walking paths that are protected. He mentioned OS maps - that stands for Ordnance Survey - and all the PROW network is on these. And yes these paths do go over private land, a concept I know Americans find really weird. The Highways Authority and some National Parks are responsible for the PROW network and have maintenance agreements with contractors, landowners, volunteers etc. So, ultimately they are publicly funded footpaths and trails. We're so lucky.
do people in America generally know that robin hood was a real person?
I only watched another channel review this walk the other day and it was nice to see your opinion of it also so I watched it again. I'm glad you liked it, Joel.
there are short hike routes around robin hood bay and witby.
Great video .but don’t watch ,American wharewolf in London before holing across the moors 😂
Joel's already watched that film :)
The sun was his clock as he didn't carry a watch?what about your phone and camera?
Why this saying 9hs ago seen this last week repeated
I did Land's End at Sunset to Lowestoft (Top Gear) but missed sunrise by 20 minutes a few years ago. Really stressful actually so will give this a go in the Summer. Much more relaxing. Great choice and reaction, as ever, Joel. Thanks.
Oh, and the lad who did this video was tops. Our version of you in a way.
His smile brightens the cold gray day.
Hi Joel,another great video. When I was in my youth (quite a while ago now) I did a week walking around the lake district with a friend,we stayed in youth hostels each night. We do have some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK,hope to see you over here again this summer. Again thank you Joel x
Really enjoyed this video, Thank you. I used to love walking, especially in the country. Unfortunately it takes me all my time to cross the room nowadays. Due to old age. 85 Next week. I must watch more of these type of videos.
@@iriscollins7583 Best wishes on a Happy 85th birthday for next week x
If you open a gate you close the gate.
Brilliant walk by Liam, who sounded Lancastrian. I really appreciate your balanced comments brother. I must admit, barren moors aren't for me either. I prefer greenery, trees, valleys and lots of flower power, certainly not grey windy featureless moors. ✌️👏👍
When you visit please come to the Peak district in Derbyshire, Towns include Buxton,Castleton,Matlock,Bakewell and Matlock bath. Chatsworth house and gardens...theres lots of videos on youtube....to see Snake pass past the resovoir...and winnats pass if you get a good drive vieo youll see the stunning views.
Amazing variety of landscapes in the UK. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
I did this walk over 8 days in 1980. Wainright wrote a diary of his walk with drawings, informative text and hand drawn maps. If you can find a copy it's well worth getting. If you do the walk maps and a compass are essential. It's a beautiful walks and even now I have great memories of the walk.
He's from Cheshire
