Great videos! Enjoying watching your journey. I am here as I am planning to venture the southwest coastal path possibly in late April the beginning of May 25. Can I ask what camera are you using? 📸🥾

You soon get used to weight on your back too ive noticed. I did hikes with stupid weight when i started out, and even then after a couple of days was smashing it like Andy McNab on the Brecons.

Pretty good load to be honest. You need kit at the end of the day. No such thing as 'lightweight' when doing long distance walks.

Really enjoying your journey on here mate . Its getting me well in the mood fr this Saturdays start. Like how you add the graphics at the end too, very helpful as this is my first time on the SWCP, and im now 60. Ex Infantry Soldier, so have some knowledge,experience about tough long distance 'tabs' . And of course Wild Camping. A big part of these long walks is mental attitude, and i can see you have that in abundance mate. Well done..Hope you raised lots £££

Excellent informative videos of your journey mate,thanks for sharing. Hope you raised lots for mind? Mental health is do not under funded these days .., I start the SWCP on Saturday, so at 60,so i will probably be more outa breath than you were at the early stage..😅. Im aEx army Infantry Soldier, obviously not as fit now, but i know its about mental strength as well as physical. Im wild camping all of it in one go,. But not sticking to any itinerary like the 52 days plan. I give myself 3 months to complete it, thus i can relax and enjoy its beauty along the way, no presure ot time constraint to get booked hotels,campsites on time.. I also got my rucksack down to 15kg. Thats with a few days food included,and jetboil stove fr brews. So am so looking forward to getting away fr first time in 20 years, due to suffering mentally from ptsd. Sim hoping this journey eill help me in my recovery...Great videos mate..👍

I know it would of been cheating but, you must admit, that it would of been a lot faster if you just walked accross the Tor estery. Im sure the temptation was there.

Hi Andy! Thought I’d get on board to say what a lovely hike this was! 😀🚂 Always love to see the fields and countryside! Have a great week! 🌻

Glad to see you back on track Andy! Perfect way to let off some steam and certainly glad that thunderstorm didn't derail you. 😉 As always, looking forward to the next trail. 🚂💨

I bought all the books that remain as souvenirs of my walks and the HMSO publications were the old one inch to a mile OS map sections .

It’s one of the finest LDP in the UK and I started at Minehead and got to Polperro with the last stretch to Poole Harbour to be undertaken at some stage . My pal and I used to spend 2 weeks every year on the path using a small van with all supplies , camping kit etc which we would drive along in stages and using public transport and hitchhiking. We camped on ‘ official’ sites, bunk houses, h youth hostels and occasionally B& B. I can highly recommend using the Luggage Transfer Service that operates the whole coastal path and will collect and deliver your kit wherever you need it . All you do is supply the transfer company with your itinerary and they will come up with a costing . Very useful if you don’t want or need to hump all your kit every day. If you choose this option you can walk freely and easily with just a day sack .

Watched the whole thing over 2 days, fantastic! Thanks very much.

Love every minute of your walk Andy, my favourite area in England.

Great videos, really enjoyed them. Quick question, could you have gone without your cook kit? I'm setting out on the swcp this month and am in two minds whether to ditch it. Thanks again.

P:S. I started mine on 22nd October 2020.and it was tough going into the winter !!

how much weight did you carry Andy??. mine was 25kg when i started.. ?

Andy your my type of bloke (couple of pints ) Doing the clarendon way in a few weeks .How are the sings post on the walk. Des

Pronounced Polzeth. However being picky. Loving the walk.

Yay!!

You walked right through the set of Doc Martin!! LOL No one tried to stop you?

Thanks for the info! What gear did you use on the coast path? Did you have any trouble with the winds regarding your tent? I'm planning on doing part of it in june. I'm also really curious about if you find yourself warm enough at nighttime in the tent (planning on buying some new gear). :)

Brilliant video sir thank you I’m attempting this walk late April I intend to walk 20 odd miles a day ish sometimes less being ex infantry my ego probably won’t allow this with my severe traumatic injury I suffered after Afghanistan in 2011 I’m just wondering how long should it take me if every night I stay in local BnB to charge my phone n because of that is there a sat nav on my phone with map I can follow to not get lost appreciate any advice.👍

You should be a real estate agent. Even with the crappy weather, I’m tempted to move there.

Hi Andy! Just caught the end of the premiere! This looks like a lovely walk, I always enjoy looking around the English villages and countryside! Hope you get some nice sunny weather soon! 😀☀️

Hi Andy, thanks for the video info. I'm thinking of doing this the same time you did and for roughly the same amount of time and with campsites/b&bs etc, carrying my backpack. The only difference is I'd be doing it with my dog (spaniel). Would you foresee any problems with this? I've thought of some logistical challenges with this but wondered what your take on it may be? or others that may have done it with a dog? Many Thanks

Hi Andy, I have just recently discovered your channel and I’m very pleased I have, watched this journey over the last couple of days and it’s brilliant. Well done on completing it mate, that was a great achievement 👍. Looking forward to viewing your back catalog and to any new ones. Cheers Glyn.

There’s no easy sections on the path depends on age and fitness. ☝️💚☘️

Coverack from the lizard is tough going.

How do you make that camera stick invisible? My wife and I were debating whether you edited it out later or does the camera have a setting on it that hides the stick. Pretty neat however it’s done.

Perhaps you will bump into Dorset Rambler 😅

Loved watching all your coastal walk congratulations on your completed it and thanks for sharing with us all . Thanks Andy 👍 really enjoyed it all

Hi Andy have you walked the Isle of Wight Coastal paths Yet, as a Caulkhead I fully recommend it 👍

Amazing video! Thank you for showing me the English landscape! I am sending a big "Hello" from here in Hungary.

Hi Andy 🏃‍♂️⛺️Stewart from Devizes Wiltshire,,that’s Brilliant you can do those one days out walking on the Coastal path does not cost anything great ,,yes also I agree with a lot you said about meeting people on the pathway or coastal route,,I myself live in a village called Esterton ,nr Devizes even though I am a avid walker like you we get droves off as we say the new in take ,buying up the Villages coming from the Home Counties,,you meat them on your walk sometimes four abreast they won’t even move out of the way ,,they would just walk right through you if did not move or stop to let the past ,,I had last week about four adults and six children coming towards me on a country lane ,,not one off the would stop ,they just looked at me as I was dirt 😀can’t wait to get back to my part 2 return to the SWPath in June a bit of piece all the best Andy 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️⛺️Stewart Wiltshire

Hi, love that part of England.used to go camping with my children down there years ago.nice one👍

Nice one Andy . Looking forward to your spring walks.

Hi love your videos, makes me miss the uk . 👍

Happy New Year Andy! 🎉 Enjoyed the scenery on this walk as always! Glad your beanie didn’t unravel on the brambles! Are you planning any longer hikes or another trip to the SWCP this year? 😊🌻

All in a day's work Andy! That was some control walking past the Cricketers. Good luck with Dry January. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Cheers to February! Thanks for the laughs!

Great Walk. You made the right decision!! No need to beat yourself up over it!!

Great stuff, thanks. Just the information I was looking for.

Voluntarily going back to those steps at St Aldems head is abit mad

I'm sure that sign depicted a hot chocolate with marshmallow... 😉 Another well deserved pint Andy. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk. All the best.

Great video Andy! Love looking around the pretty English villages! 😺

Fabulous walk. Thanks for taking us along with you

Thanks Andy. Very informative!

Did you lose any weight doing the walk Andy (despite the beer LOL)?

Congratulations Andy on completing such an epic walk. I've watched this whole series and found it very enjoyable. Maybe one day I can attempt this walk myself?

Hey Andy, I'm in the early stages of planning my Southwest Coast Path hike (doing the whole thing) for around May/June next year and just came across your videos - they're super helpful, thank you so much! I have quite some experience hiking (with backpack, too) but have mostly stayed in B&Bs/Hostels/Glamping Pods on Campsites so far and have little experience with UK temperatures since I'm from mainland Europe. I would like to take my tent to stay at campsites this time - could you give a rough indication what a "good" sleeping bag temperature rating might be in May/June for someone who likes to stay warm (or what yours was)?

New drinking game Drink every time Andy says he's not slept well and see if you can make it through a video without passing out 😂
