30 years ago, my husband walked the coast to coast 2 weeks before our wedding. To celebrate our 30th anniversary we plan to walk and wild camp it together at the end of July (lockdown permitting.) Your videos are a wonderful inspiration. They are about the landscape and the experience and you are a super narrator of your journey. You brought a tear to my eye on more than one occasion. Thank you for sharing your ‘coast to coast’ in such an honest and thoughtful way.
Congratulations Sandy, very, very, well done my friend. You have accomplished so much in your life already, this is just a small addition to it. It is actually a huge accomplishment for most, but, for you, it is much smaller in comparison to what you have already done. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Enjoy the outdoors and all of the adventures that are always welcoming you.
Many many thanks, enjoyed all three episodes....did the walk ourselves about 30 yrs ago....watching your 3 vids brought back happy memories of places seen, places we stayed at and the pubs we visited...….again.....Many thanks.
A moving end to a great trilogy. I worked that out to be about 12 miles per pint. Not a bag MPG for such a long pub craw. You definitely deserved that ice cream at the end. As I have yet to complete any of the amazing walks we have in the UK you are an inspiration to me and many others. Keep up the good work. We must catch up again soon. ATB Ant 👍🏻🙂
A beautiful series…. Thanks for uploading and one of the best on TH-cam. Truly inspiring and the part about your father friends and family at the end was lovely.
I have watched with interest your three videos on the coast to coast walk and would like to thank you for taking the viewer along with you - you made it really entertaining and the scenery is just stunning !!
That was so good, enjoyed your easy manner and definitely your company. You said in part three, walk the walk, not the talk, you certainly have dome the former. Good job. Thank you and keep safeguards there.
thanking you in advance as i’m looking forward to watching all three tonight. wild camping up the lakes in a few weeks time, a little bit of heaven on earth even when it’s ☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️☔️ 👍
Sandy. I'm lost for words. you are one extraordinary man, I salute you, doff my cap to you, Words cannot enplane how proud I am of your achievement, not just on this walk but all the walks that you have done. A real moving piece. x
Super trilogy of films, you are an inspiration. Makes me want to get out there and do some long distances with wild camping. Loved the fire rope stove. Very moving with some great cinematography of a lovely part of the world. Keep on walking mate :)
Fantastic trilogy Sand! thanks for sharing the walk and your emotion at the end there, well Wainwright apart from the ice cream! Your own journall of the North and South fells maybe or the 3 peaks, I did the 3 peaks when I was younger back in 1997 and it was a one for the diary.
What can I say Sandy, once again you have outdone yourself. Superb footage, editing, narration. insights and hindsight's, congratulation's on the trek, and the fact that you completed it. in grace, with goodwill for all. I can't walk 192 yards, let alone 192 miles but was able to enjoy every foot of the way with you, it was a joy to walk with you via the video. thank you very much for your inspiration, and the will to carry it out. 73 OM and hopefully someday, We'll CUDTL!.de Ellis :C Foley Jr (WA1RKS)
Great set of videos Sandy. Brought back fond memories of my walk in 2008. We camped at the Lion Inn, Blakey Ridge and can concur it's a fantastic pub. Thanks for the journey...
Brilliant Sandy, three lovely videos all nicely balanced. Watched the first two last night and have looked forward all day to see the third. It didn’t disappoint, a lovely emotional ending. Well done. PS A constant source of amusement in our family is that my late grandmother spent every holiday she had at Robin Hoods Bay, but she didn’t like hills 😳❤️.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful videos. Very thoughtful of you to commemorate the past and present. You deserve ice cream and Evan a pint. Thanks. Tony
I really enjoyed this video series and the narrative, very informative! I will have to add this to my bucket list. Thanks again and I look forward to move of your videos.
Hallo again !Great to connect up,lovely set of video's and your walk across England.A real nice nostalgia trip watching you, I'm ex pat so it's nice to have seen your walk.Thankyou,Be Blessed.
I like it at Lordstones, it's a nice bike ride up for me up through Helmsley and a nice meal at the end of it. It's very up market now though and quite expensive. Another great video series.
Thank you for guiding us towards achieving goals that many of us ‘are too busy to do’ . I loved every minute of your crossing and I’m sure Wainwright would approve too. You are an inspiration to all.
I have been watching several videos on the C to C as plan to come over and have a go next year, assuming possible by then! I am currently 70 and have stage 4 cancer, although in remission so will be looking to take my time and probably stay at pubs and BandBs en route. Although wild camping is something I would love to have tried. What really impressed me with this video is that the others I have watched were made by very fit young men plus the inimitable Abbie Barnes. The over riding message from all those videos seemed to be finishing it as soon as possible at whatever cost to body and mind. You are clearly no spring chicken, finished it in less time than most of them, never complaining, but seemed relaxed and enjoying the walk as well. I was beginning to think maybe I should abandon my plans after other videos saying how terrible it is to do, If they were struggling what chance do I have?. You have re-inspired me. You are also the only one to take the high road over haystacks rather than the easier route and the route I would want to take. Like you I have done Helvellyn and I think Striding edge once is enough for someone who does suffer a little from vertigo! I am surprised not to have seen anybody yet take the high path in Swaledale which was clearly one of AW's favourite parts of the walk. I have lived in Thailand for 17 years, but previously my wife and I would often do day walks from Muker down the valley to Keld and then over the top, before coming back down via Gunnerside to Muker. It is no more difficult, taking the higher path. Great video and if not being too rude how old are you?
Well done Sandy. A very enjoyable set of films. As usual you are an inspiration to us all. Kept me going through a short period of illness. I’m getting fit again now and your wee films are a big help. atb from Scotland.
Incredible!! I have spent 8 hours over the last 2 days watching along while following every step in my C2C path Trailblazer guide! Pausing the video every few seconds finding you on my map and exploring the local areas around you. Its been superb. I feel I’ve been on that journey with you. When you stealth camped I used headphones and sipped my tea quietly 😂 I am yet to do C2C myself but aim to in the next year or two. I watched Hazeoutdoors and a few others. I loved his and I love yours. Your laid back pace allowed time for the viewer to soak in the atmosphere. You’re a gent, brilliant and I’m so grateful for you documenting the walk. Very emotional at RH Bay. Proud of you as if I know you. You’ve made me so excited to know I’ll be experiencing it too. Hope to speak some day. To you and family present and departed...God bless 👍
Loved every moment of your journey. Last five minutes got us choked up but what a great way to pay respect to all those who were and are still in your life. Fantastic, simply fantastic.
Ive just watched all three episodes,, what a fantastic and lovely watch,, you have a lovely way of doing your blogs ,,not in your face ,,just really enjoyable to watch, ,nice one Sandy, keep it up, ,also watched your NW500,,i guess its been a wiltshire man night haha,, great stuff
Wow-what a fantastic journey. This is a hell of an achievement. You are Swindon's most famous adventurer and I take my hat off to you. This should be on TV. Hopefully someone @bbc sees this. Thanks again for sharing your adventure.
A fine end to a lovely adventure! I rely too much on electronic gadgets, must work on my compass and map skills. Learned a few important tidbits; beer makes you thirsty, drink more beer! Cheers from across the pond 👍
Lovely stuff mate. Very moving and brought back some great memories. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Walk Mr Haze lad:) Some lovely scenery up there for sure.
Sandy
Well done Sandy, that’s a long walk at our age, you deserve a medal 👍🇬🇧🍻
Love the sound of birds chirping on a wet lane, just what we do it for! Very mindful

This was an awesome series I loved the way you paid homage to AW, so many seem to miss so much of him out of their films.
A moving end to a great trilogy. I worked that out to be about 12 miles per pint. Not a bag MPG for such a long pub craw. You definitely deserved that ice cream at the end.

Fantastic Sandy. Well done. Loved watching these videos as well as your other content. 👍🏻
