- Hiking the Coast to Coast Walk... In this episode, I walk from Kirkby Stephen to Keld, Reeth, Richmond and Danby Wiske. I finally leave the rainy Lakes and enter the stunning Yorkshire Dales. Weather vastly improves but new challenges arise.
This adventure was set up to raise money for @PancreaticCancerUK and in memory of my dad, who died of the disease in 1994 and my friend Amanda who also sadly died of pancreatic cancer in 2023. Please do consider donating a pound or two to Pancreatic Cancer UK (first link below) if you have enjoyed this video. Thanks so much - Ben 🙏
Thanks for watching.

This section does show the kindness of strangers🎉
Hikers and outdoor adventurers in general make up a great community for sure.
You go at your pace it’s not a race it’s your own adventure your doing amazing. Hope the aches and pains ease. All the best Pete 👍⛺️
Awesome content Ben. Top work putting this together.👍👍👍
Such a great video yet again lovely! Just loving this adventure so much!
Trail magic just when you needed it most!
Road walking is so tough, especially on your feet, don’t envy you that at all, especially in the heat!
That campsite looks and sounds amazing! Really enjoyed that, thanks Ben! Xx
Ben. What a beautiful couple of days. Hiking is always much better when the weather plays ball.
Zero days are so important, physically and emotionally. One's battery always needs to be recharged. I never sweat on those tough times as one always benefits from these sometimes difficult challenges.
Go well, mate! 🇬🇧🇳🇿
Couldn't agree more about Church Holme campsite Ben...5 stars for sure. Like an oasis after that grotty road stretch
Well done in having the break and then getting back up and going.
Great to see Russ on TH-cam again! Hopefully a Collab for you guys in the future
Great vid. Looking forward to the next one. Take care. God bless
Church Holme and Penine View were defintiely my best campsites, but Church Holme definitely the top spot! Thanks for another great vid, looking forward to the last part!
Church Holme Campsite was the one place I was looking forward to staying at again. Steve and Vicky are wonderful, the facilities are amazing although if you visit the Swan Pub you'll see that Basil Faulty is alive and well 😂
Kudos to you Ben, very sensible to rest that leg. its not a race its an adventure. Looking forward to part 4. Cheers :)👍
Fantastic journey, Ben! Enjoying it so much. Can’t wait for the fourth part. Half had the Coast to Coast on my wish list but to be honest think it would be too much for me unless I stayed in Lodgings and had rest days every fourth day. Think I will stick to short two to three day hikes. I have to say your pack is pretty heavy! Take my hat off to you - a REAL achievement. Ann
Oh man, I can feel your pain now. At least you managed to keep your spirits up despite all the obstacles and made a great motivating movie. Thank you, thank you for that. ❤
That’s a tough lot of miles there mate , some really nice footage especially with the drone 👍 many thanks for the mentions and glad you enjoyed the grub , can’t wait for part 4 🙏
Thanks Ben for sharing this with us - the ups and downs are not glossed over - looking forward to the next installment
This episode had it all, thank you for sharing the ups and downs of long distance hiking. Glad your zero worked out for you, sometimes our bodies dictate the day rather than our written plan. As people have said the kindness of strangers is evident and so lovely to see as I feel it is rare these days. For reasons not for here the kindness of a stranger towards me always makes me cry and is a wonderful thing to experience. Looking forward to the next episode Ben. ❤
Excellent episode as always, Ben. And it was an absolute pleasure to finally meet you, I'm super touched by the shout out and glad the goodies gave you a little boost. As a side note, I'm wondering if it was the jacket potato you found in the hiker box that gave you the voms?
He lives! Glad you are doing OK. Are you making any more videos ?
Trail magic is a beautiful thing , glad you took some zero days off to let that leg settle down. But what a fantastic area to hike. The campsite at the end looked amazing, great video buddy.
Hi Ben,
This is honestly our favourite series on you tube at the moment, you have done such a brilliant job of documenting your coast to coast, ups and downs and everything in between, it really is compelling viewing🙌👌. Definitely the right decision to take a rest day for the leg. Huge respect to you for keeping going for over a hundred miles on consecutive days, that's no joke! The ups on this particular section had to be the lovely people you met along the way. Trail magic for sure, sometimes it is the kindness of others that really does make all the difference 🤩🙏. Had to laugh, you are the only other person i (Shell) know who has eaten super noodles with a jacket potato for their tea, Pete looks at me like I'm an alien when i have carb on carb😂🙈. Keep going! We are all routing for you!🙌
All the best,
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks Shell. Very kind words as always. Yes, the kindness of people makes such a difference. It really does. Gotta love a free jacket potato! Thanks for watching! 🙏
You definitely made the right choice on the Nine Standards! I had a terrible time going over the top and through the bogs!
Amazing video of your epic journey again Ben. Such a determined push forward given your leg issue..... Hats off buddy ! Looking forward to the final part 4. Jacket potato and noodles for dinner anyone?🙂 Cheers Mark 👍
Hi Ben, watched all 3 parts this evening and has been a very enjoyable watch! I wouldn't feel bad about taking a small break, probably the best thing to do in all honesty. Interesting to see the amount of lovely people and helpful places along the way. That is definitely a refreshing feeling. Look forward to the final part 👊
Really enjoy being part of this adventure with you Ben. You definitely did the right thing having recharge day. The drone footage you've taken has been amazing. Have you kept in contact with the people you've met?
The low route from Keld to Reeth is beautiful. St Edmund’s church was a welcome break - I got there on a Sunday and they moved the cafe into the porch during their service. Pennine View was a good campsite but very noisy. Church Holme campsite was the best campsite on the whole of my C2C journey. I took a zero day at Richmond when I met my wife, which was almost the end of my crossing as I was hit with a 24 hour bug.
Really loving hearing your experiences of the same bits I did Richard. What happened after your 24-hour bug?
I was perfectly fine… it came out of nowhere and disappeared just as fast.
Another great video Ben
Looking forward to the next one
Really enjoying these videos will be a shame to get to the last one.
Thanks again and make sure you look after that leg mate
ATB
Ey up me duck.
I think this is my favourite so far, maybe because of all the people's community spirit helping and chatting to you. The couple in the campervan, of course they helped you, they were from Nottingham me duck 🙂👍
Another compelling video.
Thanks for sharing
Enjoy your rest, i really hope you can make it to the end ATB 👍
Such a pity you missed 9SR and the bogs - great part of the adventure - I sunk thigh deep in one of the bogs - when the heavens opened at Ravenseat I didn't bother with the waterproofs and just allowed the rain to wash off the peat.
Thanks for watching the video. 👍
Where can we find Russ aka @the_trailhunter these days - I thoroughly enjoyed watching Russ' videos on TH-cam and love the @thrunotes he designed - a great product and I need some replacements!
Ooh I get the leg pain. I have sciatica at the moment which is brutally painful.
PS. Really well made video..
Very frustrating leg injury. Looked a decent leg of the walk though (pun half intended).
So, learned something new yesterday! Sorry it's too late for you. Ibuprofen reduces inflammation and swelling. But inflammation is the body working yo repair your injury. In short, it slows your recovery. Painkillers like Paracetamol are fine, but ibuprofen hinders. Obvs too late, but interesting for next time.
They are also bad for kidneys and stomachs
I've just caught up with all 3 videos and was so glad your leg improved after the zero day. It's not easy to train for the rocky terrain of the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales when you live in south east England so you did very well and battled through some pretty terrible weather too. I donated a while back and am glad to see that you have raised a lot of money for a cause that is very dear to you. Looking forward to part 4.
i missed what happened to your shin? how did you hurt it?
