  • On the1st of July 2020 I set out from Minehead to complete a long distance walk following the longest continuous footpath in the UK.
    The journey took nearly two months and ended 630 miles later in Poole Dorset.
    It was another excellent adventure.

    Great trek, I walked it back in the mid eighties with a couple of school mates, young and dumb as we were we did it in 28 days. I've come to appreciate a slower pace as the years have gone by. It's nice to see there's still a good deal of beauty to be found down there.

    I got goosebumps when I saw the beautiful coastline of UK in this video, and feel to desire to walk there. Thanks uploading.

    Thank you for your wonderful journey pictured in this video! The nature in the UK is just bewitching, even the rain has its charm. I live in the northwest of Russia, the forests and lakes here also have their beauty, but still they can't beat the fascination of the British Isles! Also thaks for such a wonderful soundtrack, it was good to recognize some of my favourite songs :)

    Brilliant video. After watching this many times I walked the whole path in April-May 2022. 45 days and raised £1500 for the SWCPA. This video really inspired me.

    Another great video, Jon. You have a real talent for the editing ( and the walking, of course )I think we're inclined to forget, sometimes, what fantastic scenery we have in this country, and how cheaply we can have a real adventure.
    I think you, probably, walked a good deal farther than 630 miles, if you count all the times you has to go back for your camera.

    Wow, what a journey. This route has been ' following' me for over three months now. Calling my name. You've just inspired me to start planning for my own long distance hike along the coastal path. Not sure how to start planning what to bring with me but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

    Hi there! I done last summer part of this, from St. Ives to Penzance and this video was a great flashback of memories! I'm planning in August start from Minehead to Barnstaple. Do what you want but I suggest use waterproof socks. I used last time great combo of running socks injinji with 5 toes plus waterproof socks from sealskinz. Whole day hike in the rain and my feet was dry, warm and no blisters. Really recommending to try. Take care! Tom

    Beautifully shot - the amount of work that went into a film so short, well, its almost criminal. I've only walked the Devon element of this walk, parts of which I found gruelling, I had always wanted to tackle the Cornwall segment next, hearing you say the Devon walks are flatter/kinder fills me with nerves and wonder!

    Hi Jon.
    Very much enjoyed your video of this trail - well done!
    I was impressed by your working through the weather difficulties, but keeping a good attitude.
    I am a section-hiker on the Appachian Trail, having completed the first 1025 miles. Hoping to finish one day.
    As info, I lived in the UK for 3 years (1963-1966) in what was then called Huntingdonshire. Lived in the towns of St. Ives and Warboys. When I saw you enter the town of St. Ives on the trail, I remembered there were two towns by that name.
    Will review your video list on your channel for more trail videos.
    Thanks for providing this great video!
    God Bless...
