Hiking London to the South Coast of England - 7 days - Westminster Bridge to Portsmouth [4k film]

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Hi people. Last year I hiked from Westminster Bridge in London to Portsmouth over 7 days. It was a brilliant adventure through 4 counties and was around 110 miles long. This is a 4k narrated video of the adventure. I don't often narrate my videos but want to do them more going forward, so hope you like it :)
The route initially went via the River Thames path via Battersea, Hammersmith, Richmond, Kingston-upon-Thames, Hampton, Walton-upon-Thames, then to Weybridge. I then followed the River Wey Navigation to Guildford, took a little detour along the North Downs Way before going back alongside the River Wey to Godalming. After this I went via Thursley Common to Hazlemere, then via Blackdown, Midhurst, South Downs Way for a bit, Havant, Langstone, and onto Hayling Island and along the coast to Portsmouth. I planned the route online and thought it looked promising and would be a scenic route to the coast which is why I went for it.
The next episode will hopefully be from Cherbourg to Caen this summer if all goes to plan. Then I will do another segment of Caen to Paris at some point. Finishing hopefully a London to Paris hike. If interested in following my adventures then feel free to subscribe.

Thank you !
Great video. You have done the walk justice. I have been lucky to spend most of my life living along your route. Weybridge, Pyrford, Guildford, Hindhead, Midhurst and Hayling Island. I did the 12 mile walk from Weybridge to Guildford a few years ago and hardly saw anyone. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks buddy 👍 I really appreciate the nice comment. Some great places you've lived in. Yeah the river wey navigation was very calming and peaceful, didn't see many people either. Have a great week.
I love that your dad joined you on part of your adventures. Beautiful hike. We will definitely do this one. Always love hearing from you. :)
Thank you Deanna for the nice comment 👍 was good that my dad joined me. ATB
thanks, I used to live in London and now live in Portsmouth so it was nice to see some familiar places. Now thinking of doing a similar route in reverse.
Cheers Jonathan 👍 That would be cool to do the route in reverse, best of luck if you decide to do that! ATB
Top video mate , really well put together, well filmed , you got some cracking footage, nice wildlife shots too, i like the way you add all the interesting looking buildings, churches too, cracking video mate 👍 atb
Cheers Gaz , I really appreciate the nice comment mate 👍 my favourite video I've made , going to try and do commentary more often in my vids and glad you liked the video. Have a good week buddy. ATB.
Really enjoyed your video. I am originally from Addiscombe, in Croydon but I have lived in Portsmouth most of my life. I live in a town called Waterlooville, and if I travel by car South, I can be by the sea in 10 minutes, and if I travel 10 minutes North !!! I am in the country. Hayling Island is a must. You have got my juices flowing now .. Time to get out my walking gear. Good luck with your next adventure.
Cheers David. That's sounds a nice location to live in - that you can sea the and countryside so easily. Glad I could motivate you. I look forward to hiking in France. All the best 👍
Brilliant video and beautiful scenery
Thank you Peter 😀 👍
Nice...looking forward to the trips this year
Thanks a lot 👍 looking forward to hiking in France 😀
I enjoyed your trip especially as I used to live in Godalming and now am on Hayling Island! I also know St Martha's on the hill .. some beautiful countryside. Enjoy France I would be interested in seeing the D-Day beaches.
Thanks a lot Linda for the nice comment 👍Godalming was a nice town and I really liked hiking the Hayling Island coast. Cheers :) - looking forward to France. ATB
Really enjoyed this as my late dad used to have a boat moored on the Thames and we used to have lots of holidays on it. How I would love for him to join us in a hike! W have subbed to your channel as the content looks great! Elaine, Mike, Samuel and Thomas 😍😎👬
Thank you for the nice comment and glad you enjoyed my video 👍. The Thames path really is a great one to hike down. Cheers and all the best.
Great video, all the best in France
Cheers Lee 😄 looking to hiking in france. ATB 👍
What a great hike!
Very beautiful places there😁
Cheers mate 👍
Good effort, I live in the Langstone area so i'm familiar with the latter stages of your walk, hope you enjoyed our countryside, I can recommend the South Downs Way (that's another 110 miles), although it's been ten years since I completed it.
Cheers buddy. Yeah thought Langstone was a really nice point to reach the coast at, nice area and enjoyed hiking along the haying island coast, and seeing the countryside around south downs national park. Will have to try out the south downs way one day. Cheers for the recommendation. ATB 👍
Loved watching this one Robbie, It almost was like being there. Now it took 7 days, so where did you stay at nights? Did you camp or stay at hostels? It was interesting seeing those deer in the field.
Cheers Ian 👍 First three days I got the train home each night, as ended at railway stations. Guildford to Portsmouth took four days - was planning on staying in hotels had them all planned out and everything but they would have been a bit pricey. And my dad wanted a trip away so he got a caravan at a holiday park in Chichester and took me to and from the end points/start points each day which was nice of him. He joined me at different points of the walk and did his own thing. Next year I'm planning on bivvying in Normandy, got a lightweight bivvy bag which shouldn't be too bad for my back. Thanks and hope all is well.
Wow. beautiful place. I love your video. Best of luck...
