      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.

      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!

    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.

    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.

      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.)

      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.

    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 😂

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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!!

    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.

    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.
