In my search for a new fitness hobby I figured I'd give cycling a go, or maybe it's a midlife crisis? With dreams of attempting a long ride like London to Paris or Land's End To John O'groats. Signing up to a cycling sportive, like this, seemed a good idea to see where my fitness was after spending the winter on the indoor turbo trainer using Zwift. Join me as I take part in The Surrey Hills Cl...
The Tas Valley Way - Hiking in Norfolk

The Tas Valley Way Join Stuart and myself as we hike & camp this little known trail through South Norfolk. No chatting nonsense in this episode, just a chilled one. A decent trail which can be broken into 2 days with a stay at Chesnuts campsite (1 or 2 miles off the route). It ended up being a bit of a church pilgrimage 🤣 Lots planned this summer, so stay tuned.

Whitedown is savage! Very well done
This video is solid gold! Looks like a great time.
Have just got back from doing this trip, it's really nice watching these videos after experiencing it in person! We got some mega thunder and lightning between Plav and Vusanje at around 2000m, so hearing the thunder in the video brought back some flashbacks. We also stopped at that house in Balqin! The woman was very friendly and welcoming
Im watching this on a sunny August morning, and feel depressed about whats coming......months of cold, overcast wet dreary days.☹️
Did they check your border pass or was it just the fee?
Planning my walk do you still recommend maps me for navigation? Pete
Any more videos planned Darren? These are the best walking vids on TH-cam.
Have really been enjoying these videos. My partner and I are doing the trail in a few weeks so its been great to see what it looks like and what to expect!
Great effort mate, you smashed it. Fantastic videos and really enjoyed watching your adventures. Subbed and looking forward to watching more. 👏⛰️
Clay or Cley? Actually it's pronounced "Haysboro"🙃
Hi Darren, great to watch this as I’ll be doing this in September. Can I ask which Rab hoody you’re wearing? Is it the Rab Sonic Hoody? Thanks
My first time on tmb I skipped all the high variants. Had to go back next year to them. Fenetre d arpette was amazing hike.
Great video thanks Are there grocery stores along the way?
Hi DC, hope you're doing well? Are you going to be releasing any new content this year ? Thanks Ben
How do they know the times to display on sign boards because people move at different paces?
Fair play, good call. Gotta harden the feet before tackling the tough trails. And dont get new shoes! Haha EPIC EFFORT mate --- thank you. Its now on my list, via low route
Wow! Wonderfully shot and edited Darren. That new shoe thing - had it on Peddars Way! March on!
You made it look relatively easy, but that was a bloody hard days walking mate! Fair play and thanks for taking us along. 👏
Where did you get the socks from mate? (The ones with the toes)
Hi DC, we really enjoy watching your walks. Any videos planned soon? Cheers, Chris
I know this was from a few years ago but just watching it in preparation of doing this walk. Good to see plenty of camping spots Cheers. Deserving of more subscribers.
Great advice
hi darren love the uploads, i live in chichester...and hail originally from middlesbrough...so i loved the coast 2 coast...however due to vast over popualation along the south coast..i find the scenery nice in some locations...mainly east sussex and kent..having walked a lot myself but its so far off anywhere the beauty of east anglia or the yorks dales/pennines/lake district...my most i enjoyed was the remoteness of the thames estuary side of the isle of grain...opposite tilbury..its has its beauty but its not a national park...i would like to do the cotswolds way or the malvern hills ets one day...but i take great enjoyment in watching yourself as a lover of these beautiful country/coastal walks..keep it up..kevin
Thanks Darren. Great series. What time of year did you do this? Looks like you avoided the midges.
It’s pronounced river year
hi Darren not much cheers this Lady up cycling ' road racing best mid life crisis to have Lovely hey despite it whilst stole so many moments with old man My beautiful mum who sadly Lost during an era where no normal services that all deserve was allowed no goodbye 😢though totally phenomenol was my mum that we all went to school my big bro ride he was good so during mum myself and a few others on catering it was actually restored to a familie and freinds day out this beautiful sportivo unites nie on all nations So Darren congrats on ya medal Surrey hills una splendida bellissimi Llieth hill a serious drag though do worth it un abbraccio a tutti voi Love cara amica Liza X ❤
When you said you'd lubed up your cheeks, I cackled out loud. Love the sense of humour!
I’m guessing this is the mountain route of the snowdonia way?
shame you didnt put in any footage of Chanctonbury Ring, it's very interesting place
yeh i came to the sustainability center and nopped out of there and walked a bit further to wild camp on butser hill. much better!
Im re watching your Ridgeway Journey in the order to use the same wild camping spots. Did you record the locations on a GPS ??
Thanks for sharing, which months do you recommend this type of loadout for?
Lots of road but would you say the off road sections are doable on most road bikes?
great video doing this in summer what book do u use
Hi Darren, great informative video. I am doing the Cape Wrath Ultra 2024. It's great to be able to follow the route on the map and see it on the video. Great help. Thank you, mate. looking forward to watching your videos on other trails.
Hi Darren Can I ask how you got from Geneva Airport to Chamonix? When and where do you book the transfer? Cheers
Hi, I used Alpybus. Very good service, nice & easy
Cheers mate.
As someone who has terrible an anxiety and has signed up to the long route this year (one month time) this has extremely helped. Thanks Darren.
Thank you! Great video. Would you have eaten at the Refugio & then camped further down? What are your suggestions?
good
I'm going to do it this Summer (July 24). However, i'm going to use what 3 words as its accurate to 10 yards as opposed to about 100 yards with a postcode. I'v eheard that some are slightly overgrown or difficult to spot. Some are a good 100+ yards from the track.
Great tips for my WHW walk in May this year 2024. Thank you. 🍻👍👍👍
Awesome. Just been watching a few of your TMB series - fantastic. You have great dulcet tones too. 👍
Planning to walk this with the dog next month, wild camping hopefully around the same spot, thanks for the video, was useful.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm doing this route as a training run/walk next weekend. Thanks for showing us around. I'd be happy with similar weather 😅
Good luck!
@@darrencurtisuk cheers 👍🏻
can you pay up front to these campsites? or do you need to book in advance and where do you do that?
I didnt book, just made sure I had enough time to find somewhere else to stay if it was fully booked. Loads of places to wildcamp once high up away from sight
Loved the series, thank you for all the work you put into making it
My pleasure!
Don't know how I missed this little gem. Looking forward to the next adventure!
I think Brownie threw a wobbly at the end. I start mine, taking 6 days though, in July 2024
I’ve been waiting until the end to properly comment on this adventure Darren. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the whole C2C series and have found it very helped up and inspiring in the build up to my bash at it this summer! Love the honesty and tips. Also, really liked the quick edits with photos thrown in. Many thanks for taking us all along and taking the time to pull it all together for the Tube! New sub here. Now need to choose another playlist of yours to binge! Cheers and ATB - Ben 🥾🥾PS: you made your gran proud. 👍
Thankyou very much. It's a brilliant adventure. Possibly my favourite. Good luck with your crossing buddy
Love it. Great first episode! Honest and to the point. New sub here after watching your C2C loadout video Darren. I’m off to do the same trail this summer so working my way through this playlist! I understand that nervous feeling. I felt a bit similar when I did the South Downs Way last year. Cheers 👍Ben
