- Day 2 of my week on the SWCP takes me from Porlock to Lynmouth. The weather was far from perfect and the trail challenging in places but it provided an atmospheric walk through beautiful coastal woodland.
I remember that part well, happy memories.
I find it strange thinking back to these early walks. So much time and so many miles have passed since then, everyone of them a fond memory.
Paul, been watching this video again and again, the set up, recording and music, background music is just incredible
Thanks Ant. I really enjoy putting these together so I’m glad you enjoyed it.
That knife was obviously dropped by someone, found by someone else who stuck it in the gate hoping the owner walks that path again. That's what we do round here. Great vid mate.
Yes that’s what I thought was the case.
I absolutely love this area so it was great to see the Coastpath, great vid, thanks for sharing 😃
Thanks Karen. I have just got back from another week on the SWCP, videos to start shortly.
I've walked along there and had to take my boots/socks off and roll up my trousers; wading knee deep for a good field's stretch. That tide can get up high! That well has lovely water by the way, I was there on a baking hot day and it was like it had come out of the fridge!
As you saw it was very wet when I walked this section and so I was not in need of any water from the well. I can imagine on a hot day it is a welcome find.
Watched the video last night Paul, really enjoyed it and very well put together. We had a great holiday and you mentioning us at the end has just topped it off. Kind regards on a great walk. Adam and Beverly.
Ah hello to you both. I’m glad you had a good time. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best.
You put together a lovely travelogue.. planning a similar walk
Thanks. Are you doing the South West Coast Path or something else?
@@pilgrimpaul7798 not sure at the moment - hopefully you might decide us one way or the other.. Thanks again..
I have just got back from another week on the SWCP, the videos will start coming soon.
The hole with the dead bees is likely to be a badger dig. They eat the bumblebees.
Ah I wondered if it might have been. Thanks for letting me know.
Watch Kate Humble coastal walks, she does this stretch of coastal path and explains the arches.
Hi Samantha. Thanks for that. I have since done some reading about the area and found out about them. Such an interesting place.
Great video Paul 👌
I've walked most of that section myself, it's stunning !
Looking forward to the next installment I've never been along there 👍
ATB Dean 😃👍
Thanks Dean. The next day includes the Valley of Rock which is a really special place.
NIce one paul, some really decent shots in there, especially at 03:50, keep up the good work :)
Thanks Ryan. The time spent editing to find those shots takes almost as long as the walk 🤣
Lovely to watch despite the rain. Have a good adventure further on. Looking forward to watching your walks 👍😁
Thank you Torunn, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Torunn glad you follow Paul too. Myself and Paul used to know each other very well around 10 years ago
@@LoveSundays it is a small world 😁 I am interested in Cornwall in general plus also in the good videos about walking the coastal path, which I do myself.
Those ruins in the woods are the remains of Ashley Combe House. Ada Lovelace lived there. She was the daughter of Lord Byron, the poet, & considered the worlds first computer programmer.
Such an interesting area. I looked it up when I got home. Thanks for the info.
What a beautiful place. Brilliant video
Thank you for watching and the comment.
Great video, I plan to start the walk from Minehead in October. Looking forward to the next episode
Hello Kevin. Thank you for watching. Will you be doing the whole path in one trip? I have days 1-4 already uploaded on my channel. Please consider subscribing so you don’t miss the next one. Thanks again
Hi Paul, no , I have already completed from Bideford round to Falmouth over the last couple of years.
So aim to do the missing north section in October. And yes I have subscribed. Thanks, Kev
Thanks Kevin. I hope you have a good walk.
Such a tough day's walk well done.
Thank you. It was a nice stretch and very quiet when I was there.
Great video. You capture the path so well. I had a very similar day weather wise for my walk from Porlock to Lynton so enjoyed seeing it again just as I saw it. 😂
Caliowin thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. You’d never have guessed it was filmed at the end of June 🌧
Really enjoyed this video mate 👍
Thanks mate. I’m looking forward to the Cornwall coast and then I can tap into your local knowledge.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 yes mate we’ll do a collab which will help more people see your channel. One of my subscribers follows you already 😆 small world lol
@Love Sundays yes I saw that Torunn was a mutual friend. She obviously has great taste in vloggers 🤣
Hi Mr Allen Panty 🤣
Started following your journey, amazing insight on what to expect along the path, love to do it at some point, i have not looked but do you leave links for camp sites along your journey, stay safe,
🤣
Hi Neil, thanks for watching and the comment. I try my best to give an honest reflection of what the path is like. I would encourage anyone considering the path to go for it. However you chose to do it it will be incredible. I haven’t included links for sites but I do give the names of where I stay and I try to give a basic review of my impression of the place. If you need any further info on any of the places I’ve stayed just give me a shout.
You deserve more than 200 subscribers mate great videos
Thanks Lee, glad you enjoy them.
Hi Paul text you last week Stewart ,,Paul what sleeping Matt do you use looking for another one ,,and what size rucksack ,,many thanks take care Stewart Wiltshire 🏃♂️⛺️👍👍
Hi Stewart. I use a Thermorest Neoair Xlite. It is very comfortable and is great and stopping heat loss through the ground. My bag is the Osprey Exos 48 litre which is just right for me in a multi day hike.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 cheers Paul thank you so much ,,take care Stewart wilts 👍🏃♂️
good days walking Paul did you wild camp anywhere
Ah yes that was a wet one. I did wild camp once in the 2nd week but that was only because I couldn’t make it to my arranged camp site.
Hi well done. Did you wild camp at all or was it mainly campsites you pitched up?.
Hey thanks. No I didn’t wild camp. I would be tempted to on my next section though. The trouble with most of the camp sites is they seem to be a couple miles in land and normally up a hill.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 Thanks.
Hi, been awhile since walked the SWCP but good to see it again, what microphone do you use?
Have you done the entire path? That video was recorded with the media mic on the GoPro. I have just switched to the Rode Wireless Go.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 yes done the whole of the swcp - I have completed all but one of the National Trails, I have a wireless go but think have a faulty one as does work but only at a distance at 1metre from the receiver
Great effort. Which one have you got left? Yes yours sounds like it is faulty. I have noticed it drains the GoPro battery which is odd as it is independently powered.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 The thames path to do
Hey Paul great vids! btw what was your pack weight? and with hindsight what do you wish you should have taken/not taken?
Hi Phil, thanks for that. I can’t quite remember on pack weight back then. I now have a base weight (without water, camera equipment and drone) of about 11kg. I have today got back from the next part of my coast path walk and my pack weighed 15kg with all the extras mentioned above. I saved a lot of weight by upgrading my tent. I bought a better mattress. I take less clothes now and try to wash them in a sink and hope they dry. I don’t carry food apart from a couple emergency packs of super noodles. Just try and be ruthless about what you take, but don’t make yourself uncomfortable in the process.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 yeah cos your bag looked pretty big/heavy.. you done bloody well hauling that about mate!! I really liked your tent actually, I’ve got front access on mine so you dont get the excellent views that your side access tent has.. Ive been ruthless as hell and I’m down to about 8kilo but might have to up a bit to hit the necessary comfort levels lol
Did you ever run out of those 4oz gas canisters on the trail? I heard that they can be difficult to come by?
@@plemas1 that’s a great weight. Wish I could get down that low. Yes I did run out of gas and at the time they were hard to come by. I ended up having to buy a larger one in Combe Martin but at least that gave me peace of mind that I could have a brew.
@@pilgrimpaul7798 yeah I was gonna go down the canister route but found out that they're difficult to come by so went for a firebox nano which you can use wood and a trangia plus ive cut out the little dish out of a fire dragon so I can use solid fuel too, basically I'm way too paranoid about running out of fuel lol I should have thought about the liklihood of being able to get hold of 8oz canisters instead.. Oh well :)
As I'm completely new to this malarkey I started with a blank slate and went for more or less the lightest stuff. . Could have gone lighter here and there but would have compromised comfort, which as we know is a big no no, especially as its not even a week trek but 7 weeks! Lol
Rewatching this video and the part where you get annoyed about losing your mask seems so crazy now 😆
A snapshot in time, a reflection of the world and the priorities at that time. I carried 2 masks on the next leg of the journey 🤣
Snapshot in time. Love that statement. Bit like the false hope you carried through the Euros aswell 😆
