Cheers for this. Will watch the whole series and relive my crossing of Sep 22. I only live a few miles from St Bees so this is very familiar to me - word of warning to anyone making the trip - the shop at Cleator mentioned in the video is the only shop en route for this day (and then it's 50 or so meters down the road) - the only other places for food would be Spar (about 1/3 mile south from where you would cross the A595) or possibly a small bakery in Moor Row (easiest to find by passing the walking man statue and following the road into Moor Row - avoid the cycle path - bakery on the left).
Hey! Just got home & my day is done; what a delight to find your new video, and what great views! Thanks for the info on the stone circle; yet another one to find!
What a beautiful video! I did the C2C in September 2023, staying in B&B/inns, so it’s nice to see a video that doesn’t focus on trekking/camping. Our Day 1 was very wet, and Dent was a tough climb in fog and driving rain; visibility was barely 100 feet (when you dared raise your head to face the rain). Someday I hope to get back and do an out-and-back to Dent from Ennerdale Bridge. I had no idea we also missed a stone circle, too, so now I, even more keen to go back. BTW, the maps are very helpful.
Joe, During a lengthy U.K. walking holiday in 2019 I walked the C2C over 11 days (my walking speed is faster than most), so this has brought back some memories. The C2C is likely my least favourite long distance trail, but your video brought back memories and with that filter of reminiscence the trail gains an added quality - almost to the point where I would consider walking it again (although there are far too many trails yet to be walked on my growing list). Whilst I appreciate the video footage from the trail I found the drone footage, although dramatic, a bit jarring - as it didn't correlate with the ground-level sights I experienced along the way. Now, off to watch the other parts of this walk that you've put up on YT to assist in remembering the better parts of this walk. Cheers, Ryk.
@@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson That is just the speed that I walk - totally unintentional. I don't find it fast myself, but others seem to be slow in comparison. I still enjoy the views just as much. although I could see cycling being much less enjoyable as the views whip by before you could take them in.
Wow this video brought back some great memories. 34 years ago back in May 1990 my late pal and I picked up a stone from the beach at St. Bees Head and made our way to Robin Hood's Bay. Unfortunately my pal fell on the ridge from Red Pike and only lasted 3 more days before we had to give up. All the best, Peter.
Thanks, yes my pal and I went on to do about 7 more long distance walks. We had talked about doing the C2C from the other direction but never got to do it. Notice that the present decent from Dent is longer and twistier than when we walked. We went right over the 283m contour. All the best, Peter.

Another great video. Thanks for sharing my
I did the C2C in August. Great to re-live the memories. Great video

@@rykskelton2066 11 days is pretty speedy! I dont think I would have enjoyed it quite as much do that many miles each day!

@petercutler7773 sounds a great adventure but I hope your friend was Ok!
