Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk PART ONE by Wiltshire Man
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2024
- I backpacked and camped all 192 miles of the unofficial Wainwright coast to coast path.
The path starts on the Irish sea at St Bee's and ends 192 miles away at Robin hoods bay. It links 3 national parks and takes in some of the most scenic and rugged landscape this island has to offer.
The walk is graded as "Hard" and a good level of fitness is required and proper clothing too.
I walked the route in July and was very fortunate with the weather only experiencing on bout or rain and very heavy rain too.
Thank you Sandy for let us join your walk and for not laying music on.....the big trend in the videos with music is often more irritating than enyoy able! BarbroSweden
im glad of no music ...ive lately been un following the sites with music as im here to watch the views and hear the wind/birds etc .. good effort
The B role is good but some videos do tend to have to much. It's getting the balance right. I sometimes use drone shots in my videos. You've gotta have music to that
Yeah I like the sound of nature compared to someone else’s crappy play list. Great video.
Genuinly, hand on heart, the best video ive watched in a very long time, brilliantly done. Having no music was a great idea, the sounds of the water, insects, birds, wind, footsteps, etc etc made it feel so much more natural, almost as if veiwers were actually there. I loved every second of it. I do admire your range of interests and general zest for life . keep them coming. Thanks for sharing and take care
Thanks Tony:)
Wainwright’s Last Words:
‘I am the last person qualified to preach to others, but I offer to readers three injunctions for their future visits to Lakeland where I hope they will find the pleasures I found: to avoid accidents and always to watch where you are putting your feet; to be kind to animals and respect their dignity; and, third, to stop griping and to count your blessings every night at the close of every day.
From a slippered retirement, goodbye.’
Wainwright in the Valleys of Lakeland, Introduction.
We truly have some lovely countryside, thanks for taking us, Sandy.
Absolutely love the footage of the coastline. So much to see and things to hear. A pint can go a long way. Thanks for sharing. Tony
Wonderful Saturday night entertainment. So chuffed when the notification popped up. Another cracking video. Looking forward to the next one
Same here, but this morning. Always enjoyable. Thanks sandy!
What a beautiful video Sandy. You really are a true gent.
Thanks Paul. Its a great walk. Really enjoyed it. Wish I was back out there again now:)
Congratulations on your achievement. Beautiful scenery. I don’t think I’ll attempt walking coast to coast in Australia as it’s 4000 kilometres
thank you so much, the sound of the breeze and the beauty of the journey.. is "music enough" thanks again for sharing
Brilliant! Brought back fond memories. I really like your style of videos....no ego, just natural. Thanks for all your efforts.
Thanks Jeff
Lovely video as usual Sandy enjoyed not having music. Love the sound of the sea and breeze. Fantastic effort too you are an amazing man. Stay healthy all the very best looking forward to more!!!!!. Tony
Simply wonderful. Thanks for taking us along on another adventure.
You have to admire a man who gets excited by a squirrel, especially given the beautiful scenery that surrounds him.
Fish ’n Chips sounds like a grand idea right now.
Your one very interesting man! Really enjoy all you videos.........thanks👍
Brilliant video Sandy, thank you for showing us all the beautiful countryside up north, you must be as tough as old boots to walk that terrain, I take my hat off to you. 👍🇬🇧
Fantastic effort Sandy, enjoying the vid with your chat & the sounds of Nature (No music) Off to Part Two. Cheers...Les
It was a privilege for you to be there Sandy and a privilege for me to watch. That was great. You know how to relax! Looking forward to part 2 now and the Red Squirrel, which was the one animal my Paul wanted to see out of all animals in nature. Good going. Mark.
I couldn't believe my luck. I so wanted to see this creature. I've only ever seen them in books. Squirrel nutkin does really exist:)
@@WiltshireMan Ha ha yeah, I'm sure it does. Beautiful!
Excellent. Wow 19 miles on the first day. That was good mileage. Your pack looks very neat and compact. Would be great to see a video on what was in your pack. Thanks for sharing
Watching on my big tv, very enjoyable, I live 4 miles from St Bees & walked the coast to coast in 2014, we had great weather.
Thanks Adrian. Your lucky to live in a nice part of the country
Wiltshire Man Loving the Himalayan videos too, I’m thinking of getting one as I have a dealer fairly close, currently riding a Honda CRF 250 l
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 RUclips. It was a good decision to preserve the soundtrack. There were many wonderful sounds. May this be a good example for other RUclipsrs. 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.
Thanks for taking us along with you Sandy.
Good call not adding music and allowing this beautiful land speak for itself!
Looking forward to part 2 of your awesome adventure. ATVB. Take care mate, Steve. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing another great video look forward to next one
So glad I discovered your channel today. No music, what a refreshing change. I have done the C2C twice and hope to be doing it again next year. There's something magic about it that keeps calling me back! Thanks for the upload, I look forward to seeing more.
No music is the perfect and correct way to enjoy nature. Thank you for a good video. I turned off three others because of the music and I’m now enjoying your series.
Hiking and sharing stories - I felt like we were just on a jolly stroll. I'm very much enjoying joining you in your adventures. The scenery is so beautiful.
Oh, boy, am I glad I've subscribed to your channel Sandy, this was quite simply STUNNING I love the paramotoring (as a pilot, of course, I would) but this video has just blown me away - awesome!!
Thanks for sharing. I did the coast to coast back in 1987, I too backpacked and camped all the way. Its a tough old walk. Wainwright sure liked his hills. 👍
Lucky a man who has such deep feelings to the beauties of his native country. Very precious video. Thank you very much!
Thankyou Hans
Absolutely speechless Sandy. Fantastic upload and so so inspiring. Cant wait for episode two. Thankyou for your upload Sandy.
Undoubtably this is the best set of videos about the coast to coast walk, nice one.
Ps Liked and subbed.
Thankyou, It is a great hike for sure
what a great scenery, love britain. I have a wild red squirrel 🐿 in my garding, i think because i love a wild piece of nature behind my house.
What marvellous adventures you have Sandy.
What a wonderful trip Sandy. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you, the landscapes are so beautiful if you have the luck to see lovely sunny summer weather like you did!
Years ago I climbed Scafell Pike solo and it rained all day with no views anywhere through the mists. Fortunately I met up with a walker with a GPS Garmin device which allowed us to safely come off the mountain. Can't wait for the next installments! Thanks for posting and best wishes.
Great video - looking forward to the rest of the walk. I did the C2C solo over 25 years ago! I hope everyone realises how much effort you put into your videos, especially the "walk in to/out of" camera shots. Must add quite a few extra steps every time.
What an absolutely beautiful setting! Thanks for sharing Sandy!
Great video. Brings me back to my holidays in the beautiful Lake District in the 80s. Thank you and take care!
Brilliant video Sandy.
Considering the Lake District is the wettest area in the country, you struck some fantastic weather.
I remember the Fish & Chips at Shap!
Walk on man!
Noel
By the way - Did you know that 'Inominate Tarn' is just a posh way of saying 'The Tarn Without a Name!'
Ah No I didn't know that Noel. Now I do. Your going to get a mention in part two:)
As for the weather, I was fortunate indeed as it was dry mostly apart from the very last day when it absolutely lagged it down!
Brilliant video Sandy. We were in and around Buttermere last month. Awesome scenery. Love the raw video with no music. Looking forward to the next part.
Superb documentary of your walk Sandy, so much to see, lots of people met and more memories made. Loved the feel of the filming and really looking forward to part two and more.
sandy love watching you in wiltshire wich is not a million miles from bordon in hampshire where i live but watching you in lakeland is fantastic having been born and bread in kendal cumbria
Very enjoyable trip there Sandy. It was a pleasant video without any music blasting in the background. Beautiful scenery and very interesting to see the sights with you. I am very much looking forward to the next part. As always, thanks for taking your camera along and sharing your adventure with us my friend. All the best to you and your family.
Hi Sandy, great accomplishment!! Love the views, breathtaking! Thank you for taking us along with you...Excellent video! 👍
I really enjoyed this , I’ve haven’t be that area since my teens. We do love your videos, never mind the posh ones not walking with you.
I like the videos that you do hiking/camping on your own where you just chat to the camera. You're a mine of information,keep up the good work in 2020!
I think this may be my favorite walk that I’ve watched you take. What gorgeous scenery! Thank you so much for sharing.
Inspirational as always Sandy.
I prefer Chum to Pal and both to Whiskas
Butcher tripe heated over a camp fire and wolfed down would certainly keep you going...but not in a good way:)
Thanks for putting the grid references on for your wild camp spots, I will try to camp at these spots when I do the C2C later this year.
What a delightful video Sandy and looks a fantastic walk with lots of hills to keep the heart pumping. Well done. That campsite in Shap looked a handy one for a good night with a few pints and easy to roll home.
A very beautiful place the Lake district I spent many happy days and weeks there I'm looking forward to seeing part 2. And excellent photography work Sandy 👍
Great video Sandy. It is certainly a gorgeous bit of country. Am also greatly impressed with the level of fitness you must have to take on those hills.
Hi Sandy, I really enjoy watching your videos and your honest unbiased narration, (quite a nice touch adding your camping grid references). This trails looks truely amazing with some fantastic scenery! After years away from hiking, and after watching many of your videos, you have inspired me to rekindle my love of walking and wild camping, and so later this year, I intend to walk the Cotswold Way, so please keep the videos coming!
Good for you Mark. Get out there and enjoy some hiking and camping.
Thanks a lot for taking me with you and best wishes from Kassel, Germany!
Hi sandy what a great video. Looking forward to the next video. Sandy you are a millionaire your spirit and determination is outstanding you don't need money to be rich it's you. Keep living in the NOW. Regards Colin
Take no notice sandy as we all know it costs nothing to be nice really enjoying your videos thankyou for sharing im new to you channel ive got a bit of catching up to do very relaxing thanks again
Beautiful countryside impressed with your rope burner will have to give that a go, take care bud
Thanks so much for sharing this adventure, lovely to be able to enjoy the fabulous scenery, leaving the music out was a great decision, really looking forward to part 2, great to see you looking well and blister free so far ! All the best, John
Some of the morning views were spectacular, it's no wonder writers and artists have fell in love with the place
There are some really stunning views on this walk Oscar
Really enjoyed watching your journey the scenery is absolutely beautiful! Me thinks I going to start planning this walk for next year, thank you for sharing this with us!
Hi Jim,
Go for it. It won't be easy but good things never are:)
Wonderful video and great views, thanks for sharing your adventure, looking forward to part 2. Good luck for making it.
Jolly good show my dear chap , i will be following you all the way your coast to coast walk :-)
Wow, scenery overload.. thanks for taking us along Sandy. I'd love to do that walk one day. 👍🏻
Thank you for showing such an amazing and beautiful journey.
We're getting to share (if only by my iPhone from my NYC apartment) your great adventures.
Glad the weather is so far on your side. Glad too you haven't run into any fierce animals, but somehow I think the spirit guides are with you and will protect you.
Thanks again Sandy for those amazing views and real nature sounds!
LOL its a small world. Modern tech really does shrink the world (almost)
Couldn't wait for this and it hasn't disappointed at all, far surpassed my expectations. Many congratulations to you Sandy!
Beautiful countryside, I am so jealous! Looking forward to the rest of your journey 👍
Fantastic Sandy. I was watching your progress via Instagram the whole time. Can’t believe how beautiful the place is with fells & lakes or should I say waters. An old school friend & I camped out last night & he produced some wainwright’s ales. We had a toast to your success as conversation quickly moved to your journey. ATB Andy
Ah Thanks Andy and a success it was too.
Sandy
Well done sandy, great to watch and glad you made it through the fells safe. Will be keeping an I out for part 2
I love the honesty and simplicity of your videos, I have many happy memories of the lake district and thank you for sharing...your burners are complicated...I prefer GAZ...:)
Lovely video Sandy, thank you for sharing.
It was a pleasure to meet you along the way.
We made it to Robin Hood’s Bay in one piece yesterday afternoon. Your video brings back a lot of memories of the sights and sounds of the last two weeks!
All the best mate, Gary.
Yo thanks Gary and Tonya:)
Thank you, a fantastic journey and beautiful scenery, looking forward to seeing the rest.
Thank you for sharing your adventure with us all. Top bloke👍
Great stuff Sandy. Very immersive. Thanks for filming and looking forward to part 2. I've been thinking about this one for a while and maybe I'll have a go next year after seeing this.
ATB from MCM Outdoor Show
It's a great walk taking in some stunning scenery. You'll love it.
Brilliant vid. Really enjoyed it. So much better without the music. The natural sounds add to the visual beauty of the places and landscapes your passing through. Well done. Looking forward to the next instalment. ATB. Take care.
Looking forward to Part 2 😀 Agree with the comments about not having music. The natural sounds & Your comentary are what I like. All the Best from Daz
Wow such fantastic views, jealous sat here after watching this on me big screen!! So looking forward to the next part!!
Very nice walk Sandy...lovely views.
A really lovely film Sandy and great to see you relaxed and enjoying yourself so much, great viewing. Atb, Harry
A very nice part one, and look forward to part two now....great job Sandy :-)
Great views and commentary, I'm really pleased you showed us stone walls :) Looking forward to part 2
Well done Sandy and thanks for taking us all along.
Hi Sandy.. Wonderful video yet again. so pleased no music.. just nature. You are now entering my beautiful county of Yorkshire.. hope you enjoyed Robin Hoods.. bay..wish I knew.. would have loved to have met you...who wouldn't want to walk with you.. their loss not yours!! Thank you.
Great vid Sandy. Absolutely stunning views and interesting how the lack of music added to the realism. Looking forward to part 2.
I believe Angel Tarn is the tarn we walked past on the last day of our wet three dayer... And the start of me being known as ‘The Jinx’.
Must catch up soon. ATB, Ant 👍🏻😉
I think it was Ant. I can remember it. We had a swig of Laphroaig if I remembered right?
Wiltshire Man - we did indeed as I believe that was a shot of me that you put at the end of the vid as a thank-you 👍🏻😉
Another great enjoyable watch , really enjoy your approach
Thanks Alan, it was a good walk.
Thank you for taking us along rely enjoying this .Darren
Ps good advice i will stay off the Dog food :)
Thanks for the video Sandy. The mountains views are stunning.
Loving the wainwright route. Like the format too. Terrific and inspiring. Thanks.
Seeing the chap on the hill after a total knee replacement gives me a challenge to get mine fit for some hardcore hiking next spring. Cheers Sandy.
That was a pleasure to watch, glad to see the beauty of the English countryside.
Fantastic video of your journey sandy and cannot wait for part 2 👍
Great video Sandy and my hats off to the chap walking with the knee replacement I had both at the same time four years ago and the restriction of movement makes uneven ground very hard work.
Annother great adventure,
Of I may suggest annother nice coast to coast walking trip "Hadrians wall" love to see how you would do it.
Greetings from the Netherlands
enjoyed it Sandy , , , splendid walk through beautiful country , and fish&chips as well , a great holiday so far , , yep , , take care of the feet : - )
Thank You so much, Sandy. I really enjoyed that and can't wait for part 2. 👍🙂🍺
Really enjoyed the views sandy .I was talking to an interesting father and son walking the coast to coast while having breakfast at the famous patterdale post office a couple of weeks ago while in the lakes .did the most amazing Cumberland sausage in a French stick .look forward to part two.your fish and chips looked nice .you have inspired me to walk the coast to coast !
Hurray! A wiltshire man trekking series! I particularly like your music choices in videos, but still enjoying this..
Dammit we were really enjoying that.. roll on part 2! what a great way to spend your holiday and hoping it was everything you wished for. the absence of music was a delight.. may it long continue and dare i say it.. become viral! ATB
Wonderful as ever Sandy stunning views hope you enjoyed your fish and chips it looked good and I must remember not to eat dog food hahaha classic comment cant wait for part 2 take care stay safe and god bless.
Thanks again for letting us be taken along Sandy!
I hope you had a comfy seat whilst viewing this video Cam:)
Wiltshire Man very comfy indeed and no interruptions lol!
Nice video mate. Its helping me plan for my walk 👍
Lovely video Sandy & commentary!
My home is in the NE Lakes just inside the National Park Boundary. I have wandered the Fell with my Collies almost daily over the years. They knew the ground better than me of course. Together we walked all of The Fells time and again & never grew tired of them. I was a MRT Member. We had planned to walk the Wainwright’s Coast to Coast path but sadly never did and never will together as both my Collies, Jack & Keld have now gone. Doing the walk without them would not seem right somehow.
Since I lost dear Keld (Meaning: A well fed by a Mountain Stream) Jan 23 2018 18:30, he died in my arms & I felt his final breath on my cheek, I have not really felt like walking The Fell again. It just isn’t the same. Their Ashes were scattered locally up on The Fell as mine will be. Scattering Keld’s ashes last year was the last time I set foot on The Fell even though I live here.
I will follow your walk with great interest as I also love The Dales which we also explored together for years.
Perhaps I may help with some local dialect:
Lakes - only one - Bassenthwaite.
All the others are either Waters, Tarns or Mere’s.
Examples: WinderMERE. Red TARN. Wast WATER. A clearing is a Thwaite & small rivers are Becks.
Anyway Sandy, I’m guessing you are back now so It would be pointless to wish you luck but am looking forward to watching all videos along the walk.
Thanks & all the best. Nick, Jack & Keld.
That was a touching comment Nick Thank You. I too am fond of my two little dogs, both terriers and old one's now but for me the walking must continue even though the dogs can't go far now, I still can.
Get yourself another collie. It won't be Keld but it will be it's own character just as Keld was his and you are yours.
Wiltshire Man
Maybe one day Sandy, but not ready yet. Thanks.
A well deserved pint mate, amazing views, truly wonderful Countryside.
Hi Sandy ! You were right when you identified the Isle of Mann from the clifftop. It was a very clear day, it's not usually that good. A great video and can't wait to see part 2. Glad to see you are taking it "easy" today after your long walk and return trip. All the best, Pete
Thanks Pete,
Glad you was around to help me. The breakfast really kicked the walk off to a great start:). Just don't start baking cakes:))
@@WiltshireMan It was my pleasure. And I'll have you know I studied at the King Alfred School of Cookery. :))
