Northumberland's Best Coastal Walk
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2024
- My favourite coastal walk in the whole of Northumberland! Walking past a 12 century castle, along golden sands and finishing off in a pub for a drink and a snack, which was situated almost on the beach - a perfect day out!

Thank YOU :o)
Oh no...my comment is gone. I will drop a brief comment: I am glad to know your health condition improved. You have a big smile on your face. I wonder why. You don't have to deal with gusty winds from the sea.
What those yellow/orange plants are called? They look like gems
Your next year's plan is made.. Good luck to you.
The tide breaks are very uniques along the sea shore.oh..yes, you can not forget about your bird-eye footage of the ruin/castle.hahah You mentioned fees after fees to enter parks. In the US, we need filming permit as well for National Parks. I would say $100 and above. We are hoping the new law passes to ease the cost for small YTbers.
It is pleasant hike I truly enjoyed this week and I thank YOU
What a fantastic landscape, what colors. England is full of medieval castles and one is more beautiful than the other. Located in a beautiful place, overlooking the beach, it offers a fantastic view from the air. And finally, a picturesque small village with a charming restaurant for refreshments. Great video Alan👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it and real nice of you to watch and comment, so nice of you. I had a great day in one of my favourite places, cheers Alan
Beautiful beach walk. Old castles add to the beauty of the walk. Thanks for sharing the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Carroll and always such a favourite walk of mine, especially when you get a great days weather as well. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Many happy memories of this part of the North East. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real nice of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
It is a very beautiful walk along the amazing coast. I always love time at water.The sea,a lake or a river.So much life when you got water..Hope you enjoy spring 😊😊😊 and still have beautiful weather
Agree 100% and all I had for almost 3 hours was the sound of the sea and the local wildlife, great way to start the day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Good day to you Alan a very beautiful 😍 early morning 🌄 walk .
This sure was a splendid beach ⛱️ and gorgeous coastline up in Northumberland ❤.
Thanks for sharing 👍 greetings from Simon and Beth 🔔🏴😃♥️
Glad you enjoyed it and you called it, that coastline is stunning, I never get tired of walking along it and when you get a bit of sun as well, makes it all the more better. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
What a gorgeous place there Alan! That castle must of been incredible when it was in use. Thank you for taking us along for the beautiful walk-around. I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Have a blessed week.🕊️
Glad you enjoyed it Kat and thanks very much for your good wishes. A walk I always enjoy and a perfect one to set me back on the road to fitness again, cheers Alan
Beautiful beach Alan, looked like a really low tide. So many castles nearby. Very neat little restaurant. Keep us posted on that fundraiser walk. Thanks for the beautiful walk along the beach, D&L
Thanks so much guys and will do. Such a nice beach and such a nice walk, always one of my favourites. Really appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Hello Alan, the coastal walk was so beautiful, it was lovely to see the Castle as you passed by. The beach was gorgeous, can see why the locals don’t want too many people to know about it. Great that there was a pub to pop in before your walk back. The car park charge was rather steep but you made the mistake of it. So sorry to hear you had pneumonia but pleased you are feeling so much better. Looking forward to your centre parcs video. Take care xx Julie and Tony x
Wow, so lush and green. Love to hear the bagpipes too. Had the pleasure of listing to a group during a Scottish convention in Maryville , Tennessee recently. At a pub, they all went out in the parking lot and played for us! It was fantastic:)
Glad you enjoyed it and always loved the sound of the pipes but never expected to get them over in the US. Real good of you to stop by, cheers Alan
So very very beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊. I always love that walk and anything on the Northumberland coast to be fair, so nice to get a bit of sun too. Thanks so much for watching, cheers Alan
Hello from Naples, Florida. Wow, that was awesome!! A wonderful hike and fantastic Castle. Thanks for sharing the amazing views with us, have a great weekend 👍 💯 ❤
Thank you very much! Real good of you to stop by and it was so nice to finally get a bit of that Florida weather our way. It did not stop long but while it was there, I sure enjoyed it, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, it was lovely to see the bright yellow gorse. The beach and coastline were stunning. Your drone footage was incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing your Center Parcs video. We used to go there quite a lot back in the day. Sorry to hear you've been poorly. Getting out and about and breathing in that wonderful fresh sea air is just what the doctor ordered. A very enjoyable video. Thanks for taking us along. Best wishes ~ Julie & Lucy ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it and always such a favourite walk for me, especially when it is quiet and sunny too. This was our 13th visit to Centre Parcs, we have so many happy years from the times we have stopped there and despite me looking like death warmed up, we enjoyed this one too. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, I’m glad your feeling better. Good to see you back. £9 for parking eek!
A lovely walk, love the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. 😊
Absolutely, always enjoy that walk and the fact there is a pub at the turn around pint is purely incidental lol. I still have not got over paying £9 to park :o(. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
What an amazing place for a castle! Wow! Your drone video really shows it well! Walking along a quiet beach is so relaxing - happy to see you and the whole place to yourself, king for a day! lol. Gives it a nice mood to have the sun come in and out of the clouds. Beautiful! Great to hear you’re feeling much better. We love the bagpipes too, nothing quite like hearing them live!! Cheers, Jen
Glad you enjoyed it and one of my favourite coastal walks, always such a joy to go up there, especially when you are the only one there at first. The pub is always a nice turn around stop, after a nice bit of food and drink first of course. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Have a great day
Thanks Dave buddy, real nice of you and the same right back at you too, cheers Alan
Man,that has to be the greenest grass I've ever seen! Great hike man.
We have had the wettest start to the year on record Jim, so you may well be right lol. Lovely place to visit and what a fantastic walk that is, so quiet too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Wow the parking was expensive! But the walk was lovely and the views over the water were gorgeous. The drone footage was awesome, a great way to see the ruins. The beach is fabulous too. What a lovely area.
Thanks so much! I love doing that walk, always a job and despite me moaning about the price to park, nothing was going to spoil my day. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Great beach walk. The castle was pretty amazing.
Love the beach and the castle up there, always such a favourite walk for me and great to be able to have a pint at the half way mark. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
A nice coastal walk Alan. Thank you for sharing and have a fantastic day. 😊
Thanks, you too! Real good of you to stop by and take the time to leave a comment, cheers Alan
What a beach Alan, views are outstanding! 👏👏
Many thanks! A walk I always enjoy and so nice to see the sun again. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Like 32 👍 💯 ❤
Big thanks :o)
Lovely time of year for the gorse flowers - they like the sea air there by the look of it. The only footprints on the beach! A nice toastie to keep you going. Great coastal walk Alan.
Many thanks, real good of you to watch and one of my favourite coastal walks, especially when you gt there nice and early, cheers Alan
Great vid.
I'm with you £9 is a bit steep.
Beautiful beach, glad no mess on it. Some people are idiots with no care or thought.
Great drone views over the castle.
Near year sounds good to finish them for your 70.
Good walk and watch👏👏👍
Yep, I do not mind paying for parking but a minute after 3 hours and it goes up to £9, which I think it way too much. Always one of my favourite walks and never get sick of doing it either. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Beautiful views, Alan. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great week.
Many thanks for stopping by John, appreciate it buddy, cheers Alan
Hi Alan. 70 years soon...I would never say. I thought you were in the late 50s rather than the 70s. Young geniuses. I can say you took us on a wonderful walk, but I hope they didn't bother you for flying around the castle with a drone. If I come across the beer you recommended, we'll try it. I like the old Pub in the place. The Pub just has some flair. We really enjoyed walking with you and have a nice weekend.🍻 Sretana and Zac.
Yes, 70 next year, cannot believe it but so far I have been blessed with good health, something I always appreciate and never take for granted. I love doing this walk, so quiet and so relaxing and the pub makes it just perfect. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Lovely looking walk that Alan. Great shots of the castle. What a stunning beach. No wonder the locals want it kept secret. Like the look of the pub too. Very enjoyable following along. Have a good week mate. 🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it and such a fabulous place to visit, never, ever get sick of going there, especially early doors when it is so quiet. The pub is always an additional bonus when you do this walk too, thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Beautiful coastal walk, one of my favourites. Usually park in Embleton village (free 😂) and walk either up to Beadnell or down to Craister. Loved the drone footage of castle.Pleased your feeling better.
Thanks for the tip, lol, I will remember that for next time and thanks very much for the good wishes too, real good of you. A real favourite walk of mine, never get sick of doing it. Good of you to watch, cheers Alan
NINE QUID!! That is ridiculous Alan
🤣🤣🤣 re the drone cover.
We love that walk Alan. It’s a stunner.
We walked from Beadnell to Newton and that Ship is brilliant! But gosh it was busier when we were there.
Loved this one mate.
Glad you enjoyed it and yes it was so good to get there nice and early, take my time and just chill out, on a sunny day and a beach like that, it does not get much better. Thanks so much for watching, cheers Alan
Morning Alan, I do love the Northumberland coastline line, it’s just stunning mile after mile after mile!
All the best mate
Dave
Thanks, you too and you are so right, another place I could happily move too and do a walk this this every morning - just wish my lucky numbers would come up! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Alan, gotta love an early morning walk on a week day. It's probably the best time to avoid any crowds. Those old castle ruins are super cool. 14th century? I just am blown away by how long your history goes back. I'm glad you're back out on a walk after the chest-infection and happy you're feeling better now. Golfers right by the trail, that's interesting. The castle made a nice backdrop by the beach and the sea. Finishing the day off in the pub was a great idea! Thanks for the video .
I had to stop while a golfer took a shot to the green, he sliced it, it, hit a rock and went at a 90 degree angle towards the sea missing me by about 8 foot. Yu sure have to be careful and fast getting passed the bit of the walk lol. Real good of you to stop my, appreciate it, cheers Alan
Good you remembered take off the camera protection on the drone. So wonderful views from those clips.
And I do love all type of sounds from water. So lovely have the beach for yourself.
And hopefully you take it easy in future when you are not 100% well. We all learn some lessons the hard way.
Wish Mrs Metalman and you a good start of next week.
Stay safe and cheers 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, I am trying to take things a bit slower now as the doctor said, even when you feel better it will take 4 to 6 weeks before you fully recover. Yes that plastic cover was the first thing that came off lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Another cracking video Alan, lovely walk and one of our favorite beaches too.
We remember seeing a pod of dolphins last time we were there.
Pleased you’re back to yourself and look forward to the center parks video. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and man I would have loved to have seen those dolphins. I was up Rannerdale Knotts with my son yesterday and could not believe how much I was blowing, still way off my normal fitness yet unfortunately. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Awesome hike beautiful beach and praying for your buddy with blood cancer
Appreciate you stopping by and those very kind words about my brother in law, cheers Alan
£9 for parking? 😱 lovely skylarks chirping up. Expensive Castle too? Look forward to the Center Parcs review and glad your fully recovered. Lovely stretch of coastline. Finishing the Wainwrights for your 70th seems very fitting 👍 world naked hiking day? Thank goodness we are working that day! Great news about your brother in law and his worthy campaign. Great question Steven!
I still have not got over the shock of that £9 but there is no other parking in Craster unless you live there or holidaying so they have you by the short and curlies. Never seen a beach as nice as this one and when you get it all to yourself and the sun comes out it makes the day even better than it already was. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMANloved it Alan, cracking video and a brilliant beach. Id still be furious about that £9 too!
I can see why that is one of your favorite walks. Beautiful trail along the coast. The views of the castle are quite impressive. I agree that there would not be much benefit gained by paying the entry fee as much is in view from the trail. I agree about those dog baggies. I would rather see a dog crap on the trail than those baggies. So frustrating about inconsiderate dog owners. I'm surprised there were not more people along the beach having fun in the surf. I'm sure they will all be there for naked day. LOL. Nice walk and video highlighting the beauty of it. Have a great day.
Always quiet up there on the coast and it was early and mid week too, which helped and made it really enjoyable for me too. Nothing against dogs but man, some of their owners are so inconsiderate, which makes my blood boil but nothing (even the £9 parking fee) was going so spoil my day up there. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan
Awesome dear Friend
Have a wonderful time
Thank you! You too! appreciate you stopping by, real good of you, cheers Alan
I absolutely love the vibrancy of your videos! That yellow at the start! ❤ We were at craster a week or so ago but didn't really stop. Will have to head back again to explore. The castle looks impressive with the drone 😃👍
Love it there and really enjoy this walk, the fact that there is a pub at the turn around point is purely incidental lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Enjoyed every minute ❤
Thanks very much, real good of you to watch and one of my favourite coastal walks, always a joy to do it, cheers Alan
Alan nice to see you back out, guessing you're feeling fully better now👍 This would be a perfect walk for us, coastal and with interesting history. Never been there but it looks gorgeous. Oo £9 is a lot to park, we walk miles out to get free parking ! Loved the drone footage over the 14th century castle ruins, and it seems like you have quite a few more around there. That yellow gorse was so pretty. Gorgeous beach and sounds of the waves rolling in and nice to have the sun out. So good how much your brother in law has raised, that's such a worthwhile cause. That looked brilliant and nice to end up at the lovely Ship Inn, your footage/ filming is always so good 👏👍~ Anna
I was out on a small climb in the lakes yesterday with my son and really blowing so a bit to go yet. The doctor said it would take between 4 to 6 weeks before I was fully over t but compared to my brother in law I have nothing to worry about at all and he is doing a great job. Such a lovely days walking and never saw anyone until I got close to Newton by the Sea and even then it was still pretty quiet. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
When I have to pay about $11.00 to park my car it is time to find another spot to hike. Walk about a mile in that sand and it feels like 3 miles... Love the castle as well.. Be safe and well my friend.
It turned out to be an 8 mile out and back Max but I just took my time and really chilled out, always love doing this walk, especially when it is so quiet as it was when I was there this time. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Hi Alan,
Caught up with this on the telly last night. Ah love a coastal walk! This one was way belter too! ⛱️. Stunning scenery, accompanied by the sound of the sea 🌊❤. £9 to park though 😮, such a shame when people are expected to pay that extortionate amount for such a lovely walk otherwise. Very glad to hear you are feeling better now, after being so ill. The wainwright's are always there, better to enjoy every one, and as you say, what better way to celebrate your 70th than completing all of them next year 🎉. Ooh the ship in looked great, a beer and a toastie, nice treat 🥪🍺👌. Big thumbs up from us as always, thanks for taking us along!
Hope you have a great0 Bank Holiday weekend,
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks very much for watching and a walk I do as many times as I can as I absolutely love it, especially mod week, when it is just so quiet. The Ship Inn is the perfect turn around point and a place I always take full advantage of too lol, cheers Alan
Alan METALMAN - Outdoors wonderfully phenomenal excellence superlative rivetingly spellbinding marvellous stellar brilliance
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Great video Alan really enjoyed that hope you are back to feeling 100% soon and continue to smash the wainwrights , and best wishes to the guy that is battling blood cancer home he gets to do some Wainwrights 👍
Thanks very much for watching and I really appreciate your kind words too. So nice to get back out again and see that sun too, did not last long but I enjoyed it while it was there, cheers Alan
Another fab film Alan, great views!! We’ve always said the beaches on the east coast are much cleaner than the west …coming from near Southport we put it down to the prevailing winds..
Bamburgh Castle is simply beautiful with fabulous history..
The Ship Inn looks a great place for a well earned pint after a good walk.
It’s a good idea not to rush your final Wainwrights… enjoy them and relish every moment among the beautiful landscapes you put yourself in.
Keep it up , we really enjoy what you do 👍🏻
PS.. fabulous drone footage 👍🏻
Thanks so much for watching and your kind comments, which I appreciate. Always enjoy a walk in any of the Northumberland beaches and they are all so nice and quiet as well. The Ship Inn is always a perfect turn around point and well worth an extended stop too, always a friendly welcome. Enjoy the weekend, cheers Alan
Good to see you back out. I am taking your advice and taking a rest. Had surgery and discharged after a week. I thought I had been hit by a bus, 4 days so far at home and am like an old biddy😢. Cancelled all my walks for May and June.
Hope to be at Newbiggin by the Sea come August
I remember being in and out of hospital the same day after a hernia operation about 4 years ago but could not believe how tired and weak I felt for a couple of weeks afterwards so you do well to rest up. The doctor told be even after I felt better after this walking pneumonia it will take another 4 to 6 weeks before I am fully over it, so a bit to go yet. Fingers crossed you are felling like your old self a bit sooner Julie and you are out enjoying the beach and fells sooner rather than later. Take care and thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@AlanMETALMAN thank you Alan. Am sprt of glad you moved final Wainwright to next year!
Hi Alan, would never tire of that coastal walk and castles, 9 pound for parking ouch, loving the drone footage and nice to hear your well again, funny how a welcoming pub open adds to the walk, good your not pushing to finish the wainwrights this year will be fitting next, anyways superb vid cheers nigel
Thanks very much for watching Nigel and yes, I was feeling real pushed to finish and really needed to take it easy after being ill, so real pleased I have said next year now. Agree with you on that coastline, absolutely glorious up there, cheers Alan
1:05 Alright ... Here we go ........ 2:15 That look's great ...... 3:20 Just listen to that ...... 9:18 Your WISH is MY COMMAND !!!!! ....... 12:00 That look's like an entirely different planet ..... 16:37 I'll join you .... 17:20 HERE WE GO !!!!!
Never saw one person for almost 3 hours and I sure could have been on a different planet. I would love to own on of the small cottages in the small village there and get up every morning and do that walk. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Haloooo Alan long time no seeee.. so happy to see you still hiking
Hello there, nice to hear from you again :o). Yes, still hiking, still loving life and so for grateful for the health to be able to keep in doing it. I hope you are well :o). Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
great video my friend
Thanks for the visit John, nice to get back out on the coast again. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Great. I like it so much! Best wishes to you.
Greetings. ~ Milan
Thank you very much! Real good of you to watch and take the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan
Sangat indah kawan
Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Other than the parking fee, it looks like a perfect walk! I'm glad you're feeling better after getting pneumonia! I got sick also after I came home from Yosemite because the trails kept going from cold to hot constantly, and it messed me up.I lost my voice and everything. But I'm feeling a lot better now, too! Amazing drone shots of the castle and the beach! Wow, just wow! I'm happy to hear that the beach is a lot cleaner than it was during Covid.
I hate being ill, so frustrating and always such a waste of time I could be doing so many other things but this sure kicked my butt! Good to hear you are also on the mend now too. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
Beautiful opening shot there Alan, reminded me of Stonehaven in Scotland. 70 next year!!! I look older than you and I've got 13 years to get to 70 😮 Can you do a video on your skincare regime 😂 Moody sky's over that sea I like 👍 Dog poo bags left anywhere other than a bin is disgusting makes my blood boil when I see them hanging in trees especially. Enjoyed your walk. Lee
Haha, it's you all night raves that are hammering you lol. Funny enough, the last time I did this walk (about 3 years ago) it was when you were doing your 'Leave No Trace' video, which I also tagged in with and it was then I saw all those dog bags. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Class podcast I v done that walk a couple of times fantastic on a sunny
Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, real good of you and very much appreciated, cheers Alan
This is the direction Nova Scotia should have gone in developing coastal walks. Too much taken with private waterfront property. Pretty spectacular coast line for sure!!
One of the biggest counties in England yet one of the quietest as well and I love it that way too, over development always kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Beautiful part of the coast, 70 next year😮 looking good brother, did do the coast around Bamburgh and Alnwick a few years ago now, and I will have to visit again. I'm glad you're on the mend, mate.
All the best.
Appreciate you watching and your good wishes, so nice to get out again and start to feel normal again too. Love the Northumberland coast, so much of it and it is all awesome, cheers Alan
Great video! Due to go on our first visit to that area in September. Looking forward to it even more.
Have fun and fingers crossed you get the good weather too, I love the coast there and so many brilliant castles too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Looks great Alan...we are currently planning a 3 day walk up there From Cresswell to Seahouses, with overnight stops at Warkworth, a village just outside Craster and Seahouses...returning on the bus...can't wait.
Oh nice one, I had set myself a goal of doing the Northumberland Costal Route myself this year Cresswell to Berwick-upon-Tweed but we had such a bad start to the year with the weather, them Mrs Metalman was ill, then I was ill so it all just fell apart but what you are doing sounds the best part of the trail anyway. I was 99% sure it was you that asked that question I answered in this video....Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
World naked hiking day lol! 😂 I’d be worried about ticks getting in the bits!
Oh God, I never thought of that :o(
Great to see you back out and about ❤ walking pneumonia is no joke omg glad the antibiotics did the trick. parking is shocking 😲 £9!! Love the location of the ruins and views. The beacj looks gorgeous too :) look forward to centre parks review. I went once years ago and was so ill with flu i never really experienced it properly
Thanks very much for watching and your kind words, which I appreciate. Still not 100% but got told even after all my symptoms went it would take 4 to 6 weeks to be back to where I was, so just happy to be feeling normal again. Nothing worse being ill when you are not in your own bed, so that must have been a mare for you. Cheers Alan
Great to see you back out again Alan & looking so well. That's also a favourite seaside walk of mine though it's only ever been a short one from the village as far as the castle. Perhaps I've been running back before my 3 hours was up 🤣 Did you say how much the car park was? I must have missed it 😃😅 .... only teasing but that really is scandalous ! Ive never paid to look inside the castle either so great use of the drone today. The pub looks lovely so one to add to the list. That beach looks fantastic &, must be a special moment having it all to yourself. I'm so pleased to hear you say you're going to take your time and enjoy doing the Wainwrights ... hopefully I'll be able to join you.on High Rigg & might even bump into you on the hills again sometime before ... think I'll stay home on 21st June
though haha Thanks for the heads up for Rannerdale ... we got parked at Lanthwaite Green.. Pleased to hear your brother in law is doing ok & wish him well in his efforts to raise funds ... I'll be looking out for the link. I love seeing your videos, but most importantly get back to 100% & take your time Take care
Appreciate you watch and your very kind words, never felt so ill in a long time and despite enjoying Rannerdale Knot's with my son, it was only 2 years ago I came down from there and then went straight up Whiteless Pike, could not have done that last week. I was told it would take 4 - 6 weeks before I would feel like my old self again and t cannot come quick enough for me. Such a lovely walk in Northumberland and the Ship Inn is always a great stop, just when you are feeling hungry and need a drink, a walk I never get sick of, cheers Alan
Hi Alan, what a beautiful walk with stunning coastline, beach and castle. I wont mention the parking charges LOL. So nice going early so there are far less people about especially on that beach and almost having it to yourself. Sorry to hear that you have been poorly, good decision about puttin back completing the Wainwrights a bit, I think you will enjoy doing them more rather than rushing them mate. Looking forward to your Center Parks review. Take care
Thanks very much for watching and good to be back out again but still not 100% yet but that will come in time. Always love this walk, especially early doors and getting the sun for a bit was such a bonus too. Cheers Alan
Great video as usual. I love the drone shots. That coast is beautiful. The Northumberland coast has been on my Radar for a while. I'm a quarter Scottish myself. I did one of those ancestry DNA it says I'm English Scottish Irish Welsh and 2 percent of Sweden and Denmark. Think it's why I love Britain so much
Funny, I have often though about doing one of those DNA tests myself and who knows what it may through up. I hope after your Australian trip next year you come back and explore Northumberland. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN I mainly did the test to try to figure out who my dad was, which I did. I don't even carry my real surname. My mom gave me her ex-husband's name. Her maiden name was Buckingham. Turns out I actually lived with my dad as a small kid. I remember living there. My real surname should be Sweeney. And as for the Australian trip, we're already talking about going to England instead. Who knows. We're hoping if we come there enough that we can just stay lol
Was up there in Feb bit of a
shock the carpark fee but at least the walk made up for it. There is free parking by the golf course. Just past the castle off the coastal path
Thanks for the heads up and funny enough we were there about 6 yeas ago in February and it was one of the hottest Feb days on record, I was down to shorts and a T Shirt. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
This really is a great route. I love stopping at the The Ship Inn too when im in the area. Fantastic video mate. 😄
Glad you enjoyed it and I always have a stop at the Ship Inn when I do this walk and always a nice warn welcome there when I go in too. Love doing this walk and to be fair any walk on the Northumberland coast, such an amazing place to visit. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN Yep i agree, we are lucky to have such amazing coast line.
Yes I hit the liked button so giving you a big thumbs up👍 Great video Alan from a spectacular coast, the weather most certainly helped I have to say. Some scenic drone shots and a good Q&A (who is that Tramp in the Hills person?). £9 for a days parking! Luxury old boy, I paid £12 for a day’s parking At Ullswater Steamers car park 3 days ago😡 Have been staying at Sykeside and Premier Inn at Cockermouth for the past week. Had good weather throughout. Cheers Mike.
Thing is, I do not mind paying for parking but anything more than £6 for a day is (imo) a rip off and £12 you say - wow, that's come up mind. You have struck lucky with the weather the last week mind and I was in the lakes with my son climbing Rannerdale Knotts and it was 25C, I hate to say it but too hot for me lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
I love this walk but 5am is too early for anyone isnt it? 😂 £9 for parking is ridiculous tbh. I have always wanted to stealth camp the castle! Drone footage was spot on Alan, really lovely. I think you have made the right decision about the wainwrights, would be great to finish on your 70th. Lovely on the beach when there is no one there. I also love The Ship Inn... feels like you step back in time. Great vid Alan
I am a morning person, always wake up between 04.00 and 00.500, so no problem for me getting up and it is so nice to get to a place and be the first person in the car park and walk for hours and see nobody else. Always enjoy that walk and a perfect recovery walk as well, especially with a canny stop at The Ship Inn at the turn around point. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Ssshhhh, Alan. There is nothing to see in Northumberland. It's grim up North everyone. 😂
That's the quietest I've seen Craster and Dunstanburgh. That car park, though, is a licence to print money, and there isn't any other option in Craster.
Lovely walk, although it would take me all day as I'd be clicking away with the camera.
Glad you're feeling better.
Haha, I knew I would be in trouble again lol. Yes that bloody car park, if you wanted on minute after 3 hours it was £9, not sure if I mentioned the price of not.....Still, I had a cracking day out, really enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
@@AlanMETALMAN come to think about it, I think you might have mentioned it was £9. 😀
Great video alan. Would love to visit Northumberland to see bamburg Castle. With being a massive last kingdom fan .
We both absolutely loved The Last Kingdome and such a shame they did not make more of them. I also ready all the books as well, which were also excellent. Fingers crossed you do get up to visit one day Peter. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
You look pretty healthy for almost seventy. Looks like another spectacular place to check out. I’ll have to pass on the naked hiking day. I’ll donate , when that video goes up. Day 90 of chemo for me. My brain tumor is an oligodendroglioma(14 fighter). 🤙
Wow, now that is a rare type, so also real good to hear you are always fighting the good fight too. I have been lucky with my health so far but I know that could change tomorrow and there is not a day goes by that I do not give thanks for good health, something that sure is a blessing. Take care brother and thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan
What really saved me was being bullied, until about thirteen for being very fat. Around 1979, I started training in kung fu. That passion also gave me the knowledge to push myself to walk again. The Chinese have a very true saying. ‘One must eat bitter, to taste sweet. 🤙
Nice to see you out fit and healthy again, Alan. Was expecting you to go in for a dip but I suppose you had your boots on!! I like a good rant - car parking charges annoy me too - we've got an issue locally as all the car parks are now "Just Park" and there are hidden charges if you don't turn off notifications etc.. I think your decision on the Wainwrights is right, take your time and enjoy every one to the full. Next year is a great idea, as long as it's not February. Loved the question about the bagpipes, I can just see you puffing out a good tune, though you might frighten a few subscribers. Not sure if you've answered this question before but what is your favourite Tarn in the Lake District? All the best, Ashley
Yes, you did ask that before and it is on my list and I answered a question from Andrea when I was on Rannerdale Knotts with my son. To be honest, I was really surprised at how much I was blowing yesterday and that was my limit as well, last time I did this climb, I came down and went straight up Whiteless Pike and that was only 2 years ago, not a chance of doing that yesterday but I was told it would take 4 to 6 weeks before I get over this. Don't get me stated on car parking charges lol! Thanks every much for watching, cheers Alan
Thanks for another great video. My top beach walk also. Seem to remember the golf course club house does decent food and drink as an alternative to the Ship. Glad you are feeling better and have rescheduled the Wainwrights to ensure you make it to 70😂. Touched by your brother in laws resilience. Been under similar treatment for metastatic melanoma for last two years. Whilst that has curtailed my walking activities I have been able to do many of my favourite hikes as a sidekick to you and other great content creators…..you have all kept me going and I just tackled my first short outing last week between Elterwater and Skelwith Bridge. Thanks again Alan. One question though, when did first develop an interest in hiking and why. Regards Derek.
So sorry to hear that Derek and sending my very best of wishes to you. We will be doing that walk with my brother in law at some point this weekend and he is such an inspiration, always so positive and wanting to not only raise awareness but also money to help fight this awful disease. Walks this on from Craster are such a health benefit for me, I always feel relaxed and contented at the end of end, although, £9 to park had my high bloody pressure rising mind....Thanks for watching and good to hear you are still getting out, take care, cheers Alan
How much was the parking again? 👀
Dam, I mention it - it was nice quid lol! Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan
Fantastic video as always 👍
I always like to travel along almost any coast..and this one would be one of my top ones if I would hiked there LOL.. NIce Alan.
Glad you enjoyed it and always enjoy a coastal walk, especially up in Northumberland, always such a joy. Real good of you to take the time to watch, cheers Alan
