Thanks for the visit. Cheers, Nigel

I use the HiiKER app the most. In terms of originally decided which trails to do, quite often I will come across trails signs for other trails when following a particular trail. Will then do follow up research when I return home, the LDWA website is good for this and do have a database for nearly all the trails in the UK. Hope that helps and happy to help with any further questions. Cheers, Nigel

Hi Susan, just to let you know I’m thinking on this question, and will come back to you with a considered response😁

Hi Susan, had a bit more time to consider your enquiry but first of all just want to say thanks for reaching out from the West Coat of the US. This is one of the things I enjoy about UT, the fact that we can share our love of hiking the world over. As it happens, I have visited your corner of the world and done some hiking but before my time of videoing my journeys. You may know from my channel I've also done Offa's Dyke and the Cotswold Way and can totally understand your love of those hikes. I think you will enjoy the Coast to Coast even more and in fact it is that part of the world I would have recommended for your hub and spoke adventures. On the west end of the C2C the Lake District offers numerous places where this is easily possible. Glenridding, Coniston are a couple of examples and Grassmere itself is actually on the C2C route. After you have visited the Lake District on the C2C you come across the next National Park which is the Yorkshire Dales. Less mountainous than the Lakes but just as beautiful and a little less touristy. Settle is a historical market town which again would be ideal for what you describe. if it's a place on the C2C in a similar area then I think it would be Richmond. Hope this is helpful. I will also post your query on my Community page on my UT Channel Page, so keep an eye on that and you may get other suggestions as well. Best of luck with your adventure. Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoy it 😁👍🏼🥾 Cheers, Nigel

Thanks for your constant support and encouragement. Cheers, Nigel

My pleasure! Strangely my todo list keeps growing as well, as I get lots of suggestions. Thanks for watching and your continued support. ATB, Nigel

The moors are certainly bleak in winter and I can understand a lack of enthusiasm for such environments. But I certainly enjoy the solitude and misty moments, very unique to our landscape. Good point about the gates, no stiles. Thanks for watching Alan and I do appreciate the comment. Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed the film. Thks, Nigel

Hi Ryk, yes I was lucky with the weather window. There was a bit of snow and it tends to arrive quickly and leave quickly as it’s not that high around those parts. Yes, I think the great thing about the Bridleway is the underfoot conditions are going to be good most of the year and I was impressed with the variety of scenery and now looking forward to attempting the whole trail. Cheers, Nigel

Thanks for a very satisfying video and walk across interesting country. I always appreciate a board on hilltops pointing out what you can see in all directions (when you can see it). The music for this one was just right somehow for all the mist and rain, and then lifted with the cloud at the end - editing salute to you. The views as the cloud began to clear were quite something and really beautiful.

Thanks Catherine, it’s great to have the editing appreciated as well. Cheers, Nigel

Your welcome 😁🧦

Wow, thank you 🙂, really appreciate the comment. Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Cheers, Nigel

You are welcome! Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed! 😁👍🏼

Glad you found it interesting 👍🏼

You’re welcome Paul 😁, thanks for watching.

Well done, that’s a great walk. Enjoy the pint(s) you deserve it😁👍🏼🍺

Glad you're enjoying the videos. I actually do a bit of trail running myself to keep fit for hiking. Thanks to Offa's Dyke I now know the area you in and can appreciate the beauty of the countryside for your race and caravan. Best of luck for the race. Cheers, Nigel

Not sure yet, but I do want to consider another long distance National Trail. Thanks for watching and I do appreciate the comment. Cheers, Nigel

That is awesome! Glad you're enjoying the videos. ATB, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed it. It's a small hill called Turton Heights near Egerton, Bolton. ATB, Nigel

You should! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. ATB Nigel

Wow that is a lot of snow! Hope it all works out and your son returns to good health. Enjoy the memories and stay safe. ATB, Nigel

My pleasure, glad you appreciated it. Cheers, Nigel

Too true! Yes it’s just to flat for the last few miles, but it was one of those that kept scratching my brain to be done. Thanks for watching and I did enjoy your comment. Cheers, Nigel

Yes it was! Thanks for the watch and comment. Cheers, Nigel

Thanks Paul, appreciate the insight. Cheers, Nigel

Agreed. And regularly wearing a lightweight waterproof as a windstopper reduces its life (especially if rubbing against a backpack). A dedicated windproof is cheaper to replace than many waterproofs. Thank you for the video Nigel.

@patrickgiles4800 thanks, definitely something for me to think about. Cheers, Nigel

All good points. I forgot about having zips on my winter trousers, I’ve actually been using them over the last two days whilst walking over the moors (hopefully next weeks video). Know what you mean re the mitts, I need to look out for a pair. Thanks for watching Alan, ATB Nigel

Winter Hill, had to be Lancashire Tea 😂

Hi Sue, thought you might enjoy the views. ATB, Nigel

Thanks for watching! And I’m glad your fan of leather boots in winter, I think a lot of hikers don’t appreciate their value. Cheers, Nigel

Thank you so much 🙂

Thanks Alan I enjoyed the read, and all valid points. I’m certainly with you re the down jacket and have one virtually for every season. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed Winter Hill as well. Cheers, Nigel

Sorry to hear that, must be a real pain. I’m currently testing Core clothing from OMM which might help but it’s terribly expensive . Let me know if you find anything that works. Cheers, Nigel

Richard, I'm with you. I tend to wear only cargo shorts and a hiking tee no matter what the temperature (although, to date, I've never hiked the U.K. in winter), and only put on the waterproofs when it rains - but when wearing waterproofs I sweat inside them, get damp, then think that they are leaking (which I doubt they are). Ryk.

@rykskelton2066 Hi Ryk, will be an interesting experiment, not sure I’ve seen anyone hiking in the UK, with just a Tee and shorts, unless they are fell runner! Cheers, Nigel

​shorts and T shirt whilst moving - that ssid, never hiked in snow. Next level. @@AmblingTrails

@mozdickson to become a stunt double you have to hike in snow!! Cheers, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for the watch and comment. Cheers, Nigel

Know exactly where you mean, although never had the opportunity to watch the sunset from there, did see a rainbow once that kind of arched over Manchester. Glad it brought you back to your spiritual home. Thanks for the watch and appreciate the comment. Cheers, Nigel

😂 Thanks for the kind offer, and I’m sure you’re appropriately qualified to bathe in the mud! Maybe better if I visit NZ. Thanks for the excellent comment. ATB, Nigel

Glad you enjoyed it. ATB, Nigel

Ha, your so right 😂

Lovely part of the UK to live and Chester is one of my favourite cities in the world! Hope you get the opportunity to see it for real. ATB, Nigel

Hope you enjoy 2 as well, thanks for the watch and comment. Cheers, Nigel

Thanks, the ducks appreciate your watch and comment :) ATB, Nigel
