  • In this video (part one in a series) I will be walking along the Norfolk Coastal Footpath, a long distance trail following the beautiful, rich coastline of North Norfolk.
    Carrying everything I need and wild camping along the way, I start in the seaside town of Hunstanton, walking through salt marshes, reed beds, dunes, coastal villages and nature reserves to the village of Burnham Deepdale. I stop along the way to show you some of the features and sites of interest along this stunning and unique coastline, and give you a taste of North Norfolk. Weary after a long days walk, I set up camp in the salt marshes, have a well earned dinner and a couple of East Anglian ales before settling down for the night in my bivvy bag cocoon.
    I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

    I don't watch TV anymore, I can pick and choose what I watch, so....... I watch things like this.

    What I love is the facts you give. Not only that you've given a bus route which is fantastic. Stops and shops you've explained. Fantastic things to know. Honestly Simon. If people want to get to know the UK there should be a show for people who love camping and hiking, what spots to visit etc. You'd be a great host.

    Hello Simon,
    Glad you enjoyed my back yard! A true English gem. I work at deepdale backpackers, live in Hunstanton and often walk the coast path! (You really should have stayed with us!) It got cold that night but that weekend was beautiful. I hammocks near sandringham on Saturday! Brrrr
    Your videos have been very informative in the past and this was no exception. Thank you for the effort you put into research. You've become a trusty resource for me. If ever you want to stay with us let me know 😉

    Getting caught up on some of the trips from the past few years. I don't know why, but they are very relaxing 😎. I tried a bivy style once. I got tired of squeezing into it. I found that one person tents had a lot of room with not much more weight and that was it for me. Keep enjoying the outdoors Simon! And keep making these great videos🤠
