    I have been trying to get some friends to come to hike here, nobody is down, so I have decided to do it on my own, your video is very informative and helpful

    You explain things well and I have been to Eastbourne and remembered the white cliffs . I also remembered the pebble beach and it was the first time I ever seen one because I live in Australia and most of our beaches have sand . Thank you for reminding me . Enjoy your hikes .

    Thank you for this. I did my first solo hike today, well yesterday technically (Already 1am 31/10/19) and followed your path. Not an experienced hiker but I am learning and starting. This video really helped me to atleast get started by a bit of planning on my hike route. It was amazing as the video shows. Thank you.

    Stunning videography and great narration, and the music was lovely. Would have liked to have known more about the length of your route and perhaps some footage of crossing the river towards the end of the journey. But overall a joy to watch and really well executed.

    • @JamesBTravel
      @JamesBTravel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Nigel - I totally agree with you about the extra info. I ran out of time a bit at the end as I wanted to arrive in Seaford for sunset. I actually did the route again in the opposite direction in a later video and gave a bit more info about the length of the route and filmed the river crossing. Thanks so much for watching and for your comment - I really appreciate it.

    Beautiful video mate! This was so relaxing. I haven't spent much time here on TH-cam so just catching up now...you've been churning out the videos and really improving! Great storytelling. It's nice to see when people don't abuse drone footage, but rather utilise it as just another way of telling the story. It works perfectly here because it's such an epic location. A location I've yet to visit!!! Really need to get down to this part of the UK asap. Keep up the good work and thanks for checking out my stuff :)

The relaxing tone was exactly what I was going for. Looking forward to watching your videos from Oz 👍

    Excellent video! I'm from Seaford, but have been living in China for 17 years, this makes me very homesick, but also very proud of my home coastline and countryside. I'm coming back in December for three weeks for Christmas and your winter hike has motivated me to do the same. By the way, the Belle Tout lighthouse has a French pronunciation, and the 'Tout' is pronounced 'too'. Fantastic video and keep up the excellent work, subscribed.

    You can get across the river at low tide at the beach end, it's amazingly shallow. Pronounced Cook Mere by the way.

    Hi , is this path pretty straightforward in terms of navigation? I'm keen to do a solo walk . I just worry about getting lost

    • @JamesBTravel
      @JamesBTravel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, it’s pretty straightforward and the path is well marked. The only time you’d need to leave the path is if it’s high tide at Cuckmere Haven, in which case you need to take a short detour inland to cross the river on the road - it’s a pretty clear detour though and there’s usually lots of people around - otherwise you’re hugging the coast the whole time. I think it’s perfect for a first solo walk 😊
