Congratulations from someone who did this in the 1990,s great feeling at the end
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this epic adventure beautifully shot thank you.
Did that 29 years ago and I can still remember every little bit. Wonderful walk.
Its a great walk isn't it! Created some great memories on it. What was your favourite memory of the walk?
GET TWO IT Don’t have favourite but I remember how hard it was getting up Dent, the first hill in the Lakes. I’m currently walking around the coast of Britain. I’ve walked from Teignmouth in Devon to Cromer in Norfolk in three years (short trips). Amazing experience. I’ve actually met three other people doing it on my walks!
@@pulchralutetia Wow that's an amazing challenge you've set yourself! How long do you think it will take to complete all of it?
@@GETtwoIT Years and years lol, if I ever finish! Can't go anywhere at the moment though :-(
It took two weeks just to walk the whole of the Essex coast. I thought Dorset was fantastic and really enjoyed Suffolk.
Thanks so much for this video. I’m not a walker, but have been inspired by your video to train for this walk.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! Happy to have inspired you to do this walk! It's a great cross country hike! When are you looking to do the walk?
GET TWO IT Thanks for the reply. I’m going to start training. Managed 4.4 miles yesterday on up/downhill pavement in 1hr 23m, so I guess might be possible. I’m thinking next spring and will maybe continue contact on you website to that’s okay!
@@7litres Thats a great attitude to training. Building yourself up to longer distances is definitely kinder on your body. Remember you can pretty much stretch out the Coast to Coast, so the miles are shorter each day. Yeah, of course, feel free to contact us on here, Instagram or our website 👍.
Really nice video. Doing this in a couple weeks as a post lockdown celebration. Your vid has made me even more excited.
Thanks for watching 😃. The Coast to Coast is an among walk you will love it!
Great filmphotography and info along the route with places to stay have to say one of the best video's of the coast to coast ive seen well done on your achievement of completing the walk as i'm looking at walking it myself...thank you both
Thank you very much! Appreciate you watching our video and for the feedback. Good to know my video editing skills are improving. Good luck with your coast to coast adventure 👍😁.
Excellent that guys. Thanks for sharing your experience and well done Katie with the ankle injury. I grew up in Robin Hoods Bay and saw some pretty battered hikers finishing the walk over the years. Well done.
Thanks for watching!
I bet you did 😂. We loved the trail and Katie is a trooper, nothing will stop her stop finishing a trail.
Such a lovely couple. Kate is adorable
😁 - atb Katie and Kev
brilliant video. answered lots of my questions. fair play guys
Happy that the video helped! Thanks for watching 😀
Very much enjoyed your journey! Lovely couple. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching 😊😊😊 so happy you liked our video.
Thank you for showing us some of the challenges and hardships as well as the amazing stuff. Good to see a YT hiker taking a sensible day off with an injury, good to hear about a boring stretch or an unpleasant wet/windy bit - not that you were complaining or negative about it but just to give a more realistic view of the experience for watchers who are planning their own.
I think l would have stayed in Richmond and split the two 20 mile days into three shorter days, with the four miles after Richmond included, 45 /3 sounds more comfortable!
Fantastic video well done thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😁
Amazing, I aspire to do this with my children in about 18 years or so when they're old enough
aww, what a couple of troopers, well done, especially Katie with your sore ankle. Brilliantly done.x
Thank you for watching! 😁👍
I did my C2C. just two weeks before you and the conditions were very similar. you have made a very accurate video of the terrain and paths and I'd highly recommend it for anyone wanting to research the walk. It brought back so many good memories for me watching this, so thank you. I camped as well, although my itinerary differed slightly in the middle. I had a day off in Richmond, nd di the shorter walk to Danby Wiske. I'm off to do it again in May this year, with a friend. He wants to use B&B's instead of camping and hostels, so my bag will be significantly lighter! Thanks again.
Thank you for watching and the lovely feedback 😊.
Yeah I think b&bing the C2C will be great! You can forgo any dehydrated food and have a lovely pub dinner instead!
Excellent. Fair play to you both. Hardy lady carrying on with that twisted ankle. Nobody would have blamed you for giving up but you carried on. Well done both of you.
Thanks! Nothing was going to stop Katie from completing the coast to coast!
Very nicely done!
It is so nice to see a married couple doing something like this.
I'm impressed with how you worked through all of the challenges.
Look forward to more of your videos.
God Bless...
Enjoyable watch post nightshift. NYM my childhood stomping ground. Thanks for sharing look after those feet👣👣👣🤗
Cheers for watching! Yep feet are well looked after. We are still learning how to vlog so hopefully we will churn out more videos soon!
Super video. Very well done to you both. Continuing with such a swollen ankle was heroic, well done!! The lady is funny and you are both stars :)
Thank you very much! The missus is hard has nails lol.
Love watching your videos. Great content and production but more importantly you guys share so much positivity and joy 😊 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! It's nice to know you enjoyed them. Hopefully, we will have new videos put out soon. Take care 😃
Really enjoyed your video, it brought back memories of my three trips on the CTC, which I first walked in 1998. All the best
Fab report. Looking to do this with my wife backing next few weeks and found times distances and where you stayed really useful. A lot of you tubers leave that out. Of course we enjoy the experience without having worry about where we pitch our tent. We'll done!
Thank you very much. Happy that you found it useful. You will love the coast to coast! It's a fantastic challenge!
just come across you coast to coast blog awesum loved it .
Awesome! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the video. brings it all back. I started this walk six days after you and it rained from day one with about 2-3 dry days inbetween the 11 days. Was camping too along way but had night in The Jolly Farmers guest house in Kirkby Stephen (best experience ever !) as only campsite in town was closed because of Horse fair and Gypsies and Police all over town. I had one more night b+b at pub in Ingleby Cross as morale was at low point due to part perished map in persistent rain and wind and near trenchfoot ! Scott was a really nice bloke at New Ing Lodge in Shap and presented an excellent value quality breakfast . My Lasagne however at the Fox and Hounds in Ennersdale had unconvincing cut up beefburgers for meat inside !! Wouldn`t of changed a thing though and excellent work soldiering on with that ankle. The West Highland Way walk I did same time last year was unusually bathed in hot sunshine and blue skies nearly every day so it all balances out I suppose. Dont be fooled viewers, The traiblazer guide map book does emphasive THIS IS A TOUGH WALK !!! And it was............ Look forward to your next video.
Thank you for watching 😀👍
Our map had the same problem with the rain!
You are right the coast to coast is an amazing walk but it isn't a easy one!
Travelling to St Bees on 23rd July. Very excited! Thanks for taking the time to put your vid together.
Super excited for you! You will have a great time! Thanks for watching!
We are excited for you! The Coast to coast is a great experience. atb Katie and Kev.
Amazing achievement especially walking through an injury. Hopefully adding this one to my list for next year.
Its well worth doing! Its a great trail!
Great video, guys! I really appreciate you listing your itinerary and accommodations as well! Makes it easy to plan my own trip :)
Happy to help 😀
Hi Kevin And Katie I really enjoyed your Vlog of the Coast to Coast walk you had some gorgeous Weather at times I did this Walk over 20 years ago and had a very mix bag of Weather you are a lovely Couple and I’ve Subscribed to your Channel atb And Tfs Glenn
Thank you for watching, sub and the lovely comment 😊.
Brave Katie ... walking with bruised ankle
Hi Guys, what a great video and a big thumbs up to Katie for pushing on with an injury! Thank you for listing the places you stayed at. I am hoping to do the C2C next year as a solo adventure and though I have watched a number of vids about it, I have to say, yours has to be one of the best. Keep up the good work, I've just subscribed.
Thank you for the kind feedback and the sub! It nice to know our video helped with your planning. The C2C is a truly amazing adventure and you won't regret doing it. We have been a little quiet on the channel due to covid (suppose to be walking the PCT ☹), but are looking to get out and film more in the near future.
Nice one guys. Keep up the good work and keep posting your adventures !!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video….brings back lots of great memories, I’ve done the walk twice and absolutely loved it (apart from the boggy moors after Kirkby Stephen), well done on completing it👍
We appreciate you watching 👍. Yeah, we didn't quite expect how boggy it would be 🤣
InstaBlaster.
A well made informative video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching 😁
Great video guys, I really enjoyed watching. I hope to do this trail myself once the current situation is over with. It was a good little insight for me, so thanks for sharing. Atb Shaun
Thanks for watching! You looking to give the Coast to Coast a go this year?
@@GETtwoIT Depends if and when things get back to some sort of normality. Most likely outcome is I'll have to leave it until next year. We'll see I suppose. Atb Shaun
@@BASHADweller We are looking at a big walk towards the end of the summer in the UK. So hopefully campsites are open for then.
Well done. I completed the coast to coast last month, my 8th crossing.
8 times! Wow now that is impressive!
Congrats!
Enjoyed watching vid of your journey-Well done, Thanks
Thank you for for watching and the lovely comment. 😁
Congratulations to you both and especially to Katie for finding her way to the finish in spite of an injury. Great that you were able to capture and share so much through the camera but without making a video (or series of them) that would've gone on for too long. Interesting to see the North York Moors before the end - I may attempt the Cleveland Way later this year.
Thanks Olly! The Cleveland way is a tough one! Loving your south down way series. Walking in the UK is the best!
Great video....well done all types of weather....and a great smile when you got to the end.
Thank you so much for watching our video. We loved our coast 2 coast adventure and can't wait to start our PCT adventure in 2020!
@@GETtwoIT Enjoyed your video very much. Thank you! I appreciate/admire your enthusiasm and stamina! We hope to walk C2C in May 2020. We're quite a bit older and plan to divide the journey in smaller sections, stop to smell the proverbial flowers, and have one of those handy services schlep our bags while we put our sore feets up in B&Bs nightly. When in 2020 will you undertake the PCT? Ambitious!!
@@Fluffy1963 Thank you very much for the lovely feedback and watching. We walked the C2C at the end of May, and for the most part, the weather was pretty good. What we love about C2C is the many options available in how you wish to hike it. We hit the PCT on the 21st April 2020 and will be hopefully vlogging our experience. Good luck with your C2C adventure!
thank you, very entertaining, stay safe both x
😁👍
Well done,especially Katie with ankle issue...🌝
Thanks! 😊
Hi troops, very well done on your walk and what a great video, really enjoyed it. Katie is a we trooper for pushing on with a badly sprained ankle, fair play to her. Keep up the good work
Mick, Northern Ireland 👍🍻
Thanks Mick! Yeah Katie is one tough cookie carrying on where most people would of quit.
Greetings from oz down under ,Fantastic Hike Kevin and katie lovely scenery. We hope to do the c2c in the near future
Thank for watching 😁. You will love the c2c.
Great video guys, well done Katie soldiering on with that ankle, you’ve got my sub, looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
What a phenomenal video - really well done. I first walked this in the early 90s and am planning to do it again this summer - this time with my kids. I really enjoyed the memories in your video, and admired the bravery of Kate soldiering on after an ankle injury. Also you had such challenging weather, I hope it is a bit drier for us.
Really excited for the walk this summer, and will be watching some more of your vids.
Thank you so much.
Thank you very much for watching and the great feedback. Good luck with your walk this summer!
well done!
Another great video. Poor Kate. That walk looks a tough one
Outstanding effort you 2👏👏👏thoroughly enjoyed watching that👍superb!!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing!!!!!
😀👍
Great effort Folks, hopefully one day I'll do the same...
Awesome video guys, look forward to checking some of your others. sorry about your PCT plans going all pete tong! next year i hear will be better ;-) cheers for joining the group too, hope it becomes a good resource for us all! happy trailz!!
Cheers Impala for allowing us to join. It's about time the UK have a proper long-distance Facebook group. We have made peace with postponing our PCT adventure till next year now. Just focusing on what we can do in the UK this summer.
@@GETtwoIT cant belive there wasnt already one! Its just one of them things eh, it will still be there next year! Think we are all in the same boat. Whats tickling your fancy at the mo?
Great video! It brought back memories, I walked the coast to coast about 20 years ago! I really enjoyed it but got lost here and there, which it seems like everybody does! I used a baggage service and stayed in B & B's, which is very nice. My biggest regret is I did it to fast, I had 3-4 days of 20+ miles days and one day of like 26 miles! I would like to maybe hike this walk again. I loved the Lakes district area of the walk.
Wow, you did the C2C quick! Trying it again at a slower pace will allow you to take in the scenery
Weldone to the 2 of you. Just completed it myself last month. 12days solo camping.
😁 congrats on completing the coast to coast! Its a great walk!
Totally agree it is a wonderful walk.
Fair play guys, it's a great walk. I completed it a couple of weeks before you. Right move skipping kitsy pike on that ankle the route down to Haweswater is brutal on the ankles.
Tell me about it! My knees were shot getting down to Haweswater. On the way down I was thinking good job Katie skipped this bit. We will be back at some point in the future to day hike it.
Lovely video, great narrative 👍 came across your channel when researching c2c , your videos gives lots of tips and advice, great insight, thank you 👍
Awesome, thank you! Thanks for watching our videos and the lovely feedback! 😀
Great footage u two...really enjoyed it hopefully be doing it in may...12 days like u guys 👍
Thanks for watching! You will love it! 12 days is a great amount of time to do it in. You have time to take in it all in.
Great video, hour on the treadmill flew by. The trail didn't look that busy..or did you only shoot when no one was around? I felt so happy to see you both make it to rhb and throw your stones into the sea.
You started two days ahead of us and kept a faster pace. We also enjoyed our trip a lot - it was a very special experience and the thinking back I could set off again right now. We also stayed a Fletcher House 😁 Thanks for sharing 👍 Cheers from Berlin
We could do it all again too! You are right the Coast to Coast is a very special experience and one not to forget!
What did you think of Fletcher House?
@@GETtwoIT They are a sweet couple and go out of their way to get everything right. My wife had a bath in that wonderful bathroom with the 100 soaps and shampoos 😂
We were lazy and only stayed in B&Bs - all, but one were wonderful. The best was Frith Lodge, 2 m off Keld, second best Grosmont B&B (not the hotel). But many others were also good. In the end we spent three nights in the Bay Hotel - that was a bit below standard, but the location and view from the room made up for it 😁
Great video guys enjoyed viewing
Very enjoyable vlogs.....keep them up!
Thank you! Will do!
Enjoyed the video, guys. I have split the C2C into three sections; walked St Bees to Bampton in May 2018 and Bampton to Richmond two weeks before you (not a drop of rain for 5 days, sorry!). Also stayed at Fletcher House. Good to have had a view of the way ahead for next May.
Thanks for watching! You will love you last section of the C2C. Satisfying when you reach the coast!
Keep on hiking!
This a great video, you two seem like a great down to earth couple and well done for completing the trail. I'm all geared up to do it this summer after the lockdown hopefully. Great inspiration.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully, our videography was okay. We are always learning and hopefully improving with each new video we release.
We feel your pain! On the 17th April we are meant to be starting our big Pacific Crest trail adventure, but it looks like we will be cancelling it now.
Are you camping the coast to coast?
@@GETtwoIT That sounds great hope you can do it. Ye just got all the gear to camp along the way, Lanshan 1 pro, osprey bag, lightweight matrass etc. Gutted I can't use yet.
@@jamesaphotography1286 We hope so too 🙏. You have all the gear now, so its just a case of waiting till this all blows over. 😁
Lovely video. I have been visiting the North Yorkshire Moors since childhood. I love that part of the world.
I feel inspired to try the whole walk before I get too old. (60 in March). It's a toss up between the coast to coast or the Hadrian's Wall walk from your earlier film. Just need to convince the wife. Your video should help, many thanks.
Thank you very much! You're not too old to do the coast to coast! It's a great trek with multiple options on how fast and long you want to do it in.
Very wise to miss a day with a twisted ankle and one hell of an effort to jump back in and complete the walk, really enjoyed the watch, regards Matt👍
(PS i bet it was a train spotter who gave you the thumbs down for calling them geeks LOL 😂
Thank you Matt for watching! Katie is a trooper, it was extremely hard for her to miss a day but we think it was a right decision.
Lol yeah maybe I shouldn't used that word and instead used enthusiast.
Thanks for the itinerary will use it when I do it next May!
Happy to help! 👍
Nothing worse than blisters.....The altras are great trainers! We suggest that you change the altra insoles for superfeet insoles for added comfort. Love to to Offa's dyke one day, enjoy your walk!
Hi could i possibly get the same itinerary, me and my partner are walking WHW in Sept so needs to get are pack weight down.
@@weewheels6494 hey buddy which iteneeary do you need? WHW or coast to coast? The iteneraies for both can be found in the video description box or at the end of the video 😁👍
Great video, lovely couple, just earned yourself a subscriber I hope you get to 1k soon it’s more than deserved!
Awww, thank you for the lovely comment. Happy you enjoyed the video! I think we are still a bit of 1k subscribers mainly down to our video upload frequency. Check out our website for our hiking blogs and review for more of us 😁
great video.Like the fact that you mentioned where you stayed. My wife and me were hoping to do it this year. I did it with a friend 10 years ago . I'm now 65 so will have to get our pack weight down thats for sure. Like the look of your tent for 2. My wife would want the occasional b and b so your stop looked great. You really seemed to enjoy the walk and from memory the Lion is a great nights stay. Keep safe and dream about you next adventure.Regards
Happy that you found it helpful! The coast 2 coast is a great adventure and we really enjoyed it. The accommodation options on the C2C are so varied, it allows you to do it the way you want to.
Base weight is important if you want to enjoy the walk, saying that we still like our comforts and were far from UL.
Check out Katie's gear vid on what she takes on trips like the C2C: ruclips.net/video/VODpX2S0G8A/видео.html.
Hopefully, you two will still be able to the walk this year. All the best - GetTwoIt
Just discovered your channel and the C2C video. Really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for putting it together.... I am doing the C2C this year and this has helped me with my planning..... I am defo going to try and use Packhorse and defo going to increase my training!
Thanks for watching! So happy that out video helped. Yeah the Pack horse service is great. Leave your car in their secure carpark in Kirby Stephens. Then they take you to the start and pick you up at the end at take you back to your car.
We have more info on our C2C on out website: www.Get-two-it.com
You will love the C2C. Left us know how you get on.
Atb Katie and Kev.
Well done you two,I'm hoping to do this in August this year!
Thanks for watching! August would be a great time to walk it. 😀
Well done guys 👍
😁👍
Thank you, I really enjoyed that video. You’re a lovely couple and The Coast to Coast is a great path. What more could I ask for?
😊 Thank you very much for watching!
Enjoyed watching your video. I did the coast to coast walk in May this year and had fantastic weather. It was my 9th crossing and the last two crossings I used the packhorse baggage service. I would like to do the walk again, but camping all the way. Although I might use the baggage transfer service again.
Congratulations on completing your latest C2C! The packhorse service was super convenient for getting us to and from our car. Camping is an excellent way to experience the trial. All the best!
very good video, well done, atb Hans Peter
Thanks for watching!
Loved the video. My sister and I are planning to do the walk in May next year so your tips and journey has been invaluable. I so enjoyed your company. Well done and thanks so much. Your video was better than the others as others play far too much music. What's next????
Thank you. May is an excellent time of year to walk the C2C. Let's hope the weather is right for you two next year. We haven't got any long walks planned this year due to work commitments. 2020 is going to be a big year for us as we are going to walk the Pacific crest trail!
great vid great adventure where to next, hope to fullfill my dream of walking c2c in the next few years ps know how tough the stretch from where c2c meets Cleveland way I stopped at clay bank so hats off for doing many more miles after clay bank nigel
Thank you for watching! The c2c is a amazing walk! The stretch before you reach Clay bank top is tough, we were glad to see the last climb!!
Walked the first half of this 4 years ago. Regardless of terrain or weather, pace was about 2.5 mph.
Hi.
Enjoyed watching this a second time.
I' impressed with the open views and scenery, and how well you did working through all of the challenges.
Question: Do you plan to do the Pennine Way?
I've watched another video series on that and it looks interesting.
Thanks, and God Bless.
Hey there Ken!
The coast to coast is an amazing hike and definitely keeps you on your toes.
We would love to do the Pennine Way! Need to get enough time off from work. The hike would take us around three weeks.
Hopefully soon we will have our Tour Du Mont Blanc video upload for you to watch next.
@@GETtwoIT Thank you for your replies. I enjoy your videos and the wonderful scenery from the country I once lived in (1963-1966). I plan to watch your other videos and will be looking forward to your Mount Blanc video.
Understand about 3 weeks off problem!
I've been section-hiking the AT (Appalachian Trail) since Feb. 1992. Am now near the 1100-mile point in Pennsylvania. Originally, I was only doing a few days at a time, then expanded to 2, 1-week hikes.
Because of work and family, some years I didn't do any new trail, hence the long time it has taken me.
Now, I'm retired (age 70) but plan to continue on north, probably doing 10-15 days at a time.
Might only get to the 1500 mile point in northwest Connecticut, but that would be fine.
Have seen so many wonderful things in the Lord's beautiful Creation.
Since your hikes are normally in open areas, wanted to share one video of mine showing one of my favorite parts of the AT thus far - Virginia Highlands.
It is high and open with views.
Here's the address for that video: ruclips.net/video/bI4AB5R3IvQ/видео.html
I hope you both are well and are very blessed as a couple and individuals in the coming year.
I appreciate your fine channel and consider it very good and wholesome to watch.
God Bless!
Pocket rocket II great light bit of kit, use it on all my walks.
Its a great piece of kit!
Yes great video well done what walking footwear did you use 👍
Thanks for watching!
We walked in Topo ultraadventures
Hi, just come across your Coast to Coast video. Excellent and well done to you both, it was very enjoyable to watch. Would you recommend the injinji socks you use as I do tend to suffer from blisters on my little toe.
Thanks! Katie would highly recommend the injinji socks and doesn't wear any other socks for hiking now. She particularly likes the nuwool one's
great job this c2c. Congratulations. Nice video. And walking on a sore ankle is special! I was wondering which map you used. I want to walk the c2c this year.On several moments It seems a bit like the pennine way. Is that correct? Did that trail also. That was an incredible experience too. But incomparable with the walk to Santiago (2400 km) and Rome (2200 km) So each time three months from home.
We used the cicerone map. We haven't walked the opening way but I imagine some of the landscape will be similar. Sounds like you are an experienced hiker with some fabulous walks under your belt!
Hi
Really enjoyed your take on the C2C. At 66, if I don’t do it now I probably won’t. Camping at pubs was a great idea. It means I could do shorter sections. Do you think you could have done it with less gear? I am thinking that would be too heavy for me
Hey there Kenneth!
You don't even have to camp it. You can b&b it if you wanted. There are even companies like packhorse who will take you main kit place to place so you can just take a daysack.
We could of gone lighter, we are always learning what we need, what works and what we don't. We like to be comfortable, so I don't think we will ever be "ultralight" hikers. We are comfortable with being in the "lightweight" zone of hiking.
@@GETtwoIT thanks
Loved the video. I was planning to do the C2C prior to lock down, will now have to put on hold till next year :((
See that you were using the Big Agnes tent , love that tent it will stand up to lots of punishment and is sooooo light, looks like you have the same as me but mine is bright orange. Had a quick look at you website and see that you are planning to do the PCT are you going to do it north or south ? LDT's are addictive lol
Thanks for watching and checking out our website! 😁👍
Yeah, we love the BA Copper Spur UL3! It stands up really well against the British weather and it's super roomy for the 2 of us.
We were planning to do the PCT NOBO this year but had to postpone till 2021 due to the pandemic 😔.
A brilliant adventure and well done to you both !! I was curious about what camera gear you used for your trip as the video looked great.
Thank you! We used the Dji Osmo pocket and our samsung galaxy 8 phones for the video.
@@GETtwoIT amazing quality for a phone ! Looking forward to your next adventure
A cow with udders is not a he;)
🤣👍
Thank you for all the info. I have just started planning my walk with my dog. Wondering if there was a reason you didn't camp in Patterdale? Thanks very much
Hope the planning is going well 😀 There wasn't any particular reason, we just decided to push on which fitted with our itinerary better. Happy hiking 👣
Great video guys! How did the Altras hold up in the boggy bits?
Thanks! The altras got soaked in the boggy bits but we knew it would. Coupled with darn tough soaks, they were still comfortable and no blisters even with wet feet. They dry quick and let our feet breath, a worth while sacrifice for unsore feet.
Hi guys. I seem to be commenting a lot on your videos recently. You said on this one that 5 mile took 2 hours. I use 5 mile as my gauge cos its the distance to work and takes me an hour. Can I ask if your longer time was due to weather or terrain ? looks like you got a good share of both . Im thinking more terrain than weather. The weather you had on this is more like what I had for West highland way and stepping into a bog got dirty water into my boots. feet dried but left behind sandy grid in my socks which was uncomfortable. would have been better with wet feet for the day. not sure wot you guys do for blister treatment and protection so will share some of my tips. some people suggest vaseline to reduce friction. no, as its a grease it will make dirt stick and rub I prefer talc. put it on before and after your day walk. its cheaper than compeed and hope save you needing them. if you do get a blister just drain it. idea is keep the skin intact. I have a surgical needle and syringe in my first aid kit for that. I learned that from mountain rescue so its top tip for me. I will shut up now and watch the rest of your video with a few videos. All the best.
Great video, whetted the appetite to make the effort. Just one question, how did you get to the start and then from Robin Hood Bay i.e. would you recommend train, bus etc.
Hey there Robert! Happy New Year!
We took the train from Newcastle to Carlisle. On the day, the bus didn't fit our plans, so we took a taxi (Cost then est 30-40quid).
at 7 minutes and 10 seconds of video appears a small house, is it a restaurant or a hotel? What is the name of this city?
It's the Black Sail hostel. Not only is it not in a city, it's actually in the middle of nowhere and accessible only by foot.
Thank you
@@seamusslowey5222 It really is in the middle of nowhere!
Well done, good video. We are doing the walk next May. what camera did you use. how did you charge it.
Thank you very much! We used the DJI Osmo pocket to film our walk and charged it via a Anker 21000mah battery pack. Enjoy your adventure in May!
Hi guys. I'm very much enjoying your films. I have a question if you don''t mind: I'll be coming to the UK in May (2020) and would like to do a trek. If you could repeat one, which would it be? What was your favourite? I've done a number of treks here in NZ and in Nepal in the past and my fitness level is currently OK. Retired so no real time limit. Many thanks.
Hey there! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch our videos. My favourite would be the West Highland Way for it's beautiful changing landscapes.
Many thanks for the reply. I look forward to it!
Just wondering how much gas you carried with you for the trip I.e. how many canisters for the pocket rocket? Did you end up with the right amount?
Hey there! We both carried a 110g gas canister, and they lasted us the whole trip (Boiling water for dinner and coffee). A gas canister typically lasts us around 12-15 boils of water (2 cups). If you are only boiling water once a day, it will last you the entire coast to coast trip. Hope that helps.
Serious question... how many pairs of socks? I'm doing a 5 day walk and really want a fresh pair every day - but they all take up space.
I take three pairs of Darn tough 1\4 socks. I had one for walking, a dry pair\spare and pair for sleeping. I love fresh socks, I compromise with three, knowing I could have fresh socks at least three of the days I walk.
What's your kit list? Me and wife are going to attempt this next year! Awesome video also
Check out get-two-it.com we have out kit lists on there 😊
Aye just spotted that haha! Do you recommend any apps / software for planning the route? We are likely to aim for the same 11/13 days you both did.
@@SilentKyrne The Hiiker app is really useful and the cicerone walking book for the coast to coast is really good.
Thanks- will give that a look! Having a play around with FarOut atm
Did the packhorse provide accommodation? Thanks
Hey there! Packhorse only provided transport to and from the Coast to Coast. We booked our campsites and accommodation in advance separately. Get out our website: get-two-it.com for a full lowdown of out coast to coast hike.
Hiya great videos guys. I really enjoyed watching them especially the Coast to Coast. You two seem to walk the C to C with great ease unlike most other peoples videos that I have watched. Im attempting the C to C later on this year. Any tips would be greatly appreciated and I cant use a compass. Do you think that the map would be sufficient ? Many Thanks
We used the cicerone guide book and map which was great. The route has limited sign posting however we found it quite easy to navigate. Be careful navigating through the lake district and the nine standard riggs section (especially in bad weather). But all of the 'things to look out for' were in the guidebook. We also took our GPS just in case however we used it only a handful of times. Have a great time!
Thankyou so much for the tips. I feel that I will be ok with maps alone and of course I can ask fellow walkers for advice too. Although on all of the videos online it seems that walkers become few and far between once you leave the Lake District. So most people just walk in the Lakes and not the whole C to C route. Would you ever walk the Coast to Coast again ? It looks so beautiful all the way along !!
@@adamturner118 😃👍
There are some hiking mobile phone apps use your phones GPS that will help you navigate.
If you are okay with reading maps, in good weather you will be able just to use and be okay.
We loved the C to C! But there are so many great trails in the UK that we want to do first. So maybe in the future.
Thankyou for your kind reply guys !!Yes there are loads of beautiful walks all over the UK. I am drawn to the Coast to Coast as my first long distance walk having previously done short walks on mountains such as Snowdon. I found Snowdon very hard indeed !!The West Highland Way in Scotland appeared dangerous on some videos that I watched so I wouldn't attempt this walk until I am more experienced.Have you walked up Snowdon ? Its quite hard especially the Pig Track and the Ridgeway is quite dangerous. Im postponing my Coast to Coast walk until the coronavirus has gone.Have you got any walks planned for this year ? Regards.
@@adamturner118 We haven't done Snowdon yet know, one to tackle in the future.
The WHW is also great, not too bad in terms of difficulty we would say moderate. There are many itinerary options to support shorter days over the more difficult sections.
Yes probably a wise idea to wait until this all blows over as resupply is valuable whilst doing a long distance trail.
We were planning to do the pacific crest trail in America, but sadly this is unlikely to happen.
Great video 😊... what tent were you using ?
We are using the BIG AGNES Copper spur UL3
@@GETtwoIT looks like a nice tent 😊.
I was looking at them myself... I was stuck between the copper spur or the hubba hubba but I settled on a tent from Kuiu ( the mountain star ) . Haven’t had a chance to get out yet but I’ll be testing soon . Take care john 🙏🏽😊
Excellent video 👍
Amusing how the chap pronounces almost every landmark, place name, peak and lake incorrectly 😂😂
Did I get all of them wrong??? Oh dear 🤣
@@GETtwoIT
OK, slight exaggeration on my part! 😉 Anyway, the errors make the video more real. Keep on hiking!

Get a sense of humour!

Did any cows cause you problems?
No problems. They just look scary 😂
Great video
However, pricked the local nerves a bit on the Shap-Kirby Stephen route. Whilst you can be classed in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, technically and geographically at that point you're in the Westmoreland Dales.
Rather pedantic I know, apologies, but they do get feisty and if you check the signs they have Westmoreland Dales in prominence over Yorkshire Dales, after the original markers (showing Yorkshire Dales) were vandalised by spraying over the Yorkshire bit.
Pointless trivia, pedantry overdrive none of which spoils the enjoyment of the film. But walkers beware of informing a wild local how much you like the Yorkshire Dales whilst walking through historical Westmoreland aka Cumbria. Hahaha many a backpack seen floating down the Lune with eery banjo music to be heard for committing that "sin"😉😂
Thanks for watching! No your not being pedantic, always interested in the local nuances.
