This is the way to truly see and understand England as a visitor - not the tourist trap stuff. Forget the Tower of London and Big Ben. This is what the country really feels like. Bravo
I mean - don’t skip the Tower and Big Ben as that is part of British history 😅but definitely explore other parts of the UK. The UK has so much to offer - not only England but Wales and Scotland too! 😊
@@whoslistening on the topic of vanquishing preconceived notions, you made the assumption that he was regarding the owner of this video as a visitor rather than its nominative definition.

Thankfully, I am kinda protected from this racism considering that I'm a bengali 👍

@@whoslistening well she probably is, if i moved to france for college or uni i'm not gonna suddenly become french because i have a flat there an eat baguette.. I'd say i'd have to live there a long while and put down roots to no longer be a visitor
the plant at 36:46 is staghorn sumac and it is edible!, it can be found across a lot of England (and the north east of USA where this variety originates). Those clusters on it can be picked, dried and blended to make the seasoning - very popular in middle eastern cuisines. It has a subtle sour flavour and red colour, really nice to dust over things without adding moisture like with lemon. It was popular in victorian times and before to make it into a syrup to be drunk as a cordial like lemonade! I have these plants in my garden and try to harvest some every year (it becomes good to pick from late summer aug-sept, but soon after rains wash away a lot of the flavours and bugs lay eggs so no good :(. thank you for sharing this journey!!
I don't know which algorithm reached out and stuck this on my feed, but it sure got the right one for once. I don't care what it's called, a pilgrimage, a trek, a hike, travelling a long distance by foot is unmatched in how it helps give one a better view of the world. No matter how hard you try to stay alone through it, you'll definitely find at least a couple of people to have a friendly chat to, and just seeing things at a slow pace gives such an appreciation of life, the universe, and everything. Even secular people should do a pilgrimage at least once in their life 😌 Plus, thank you for just sharing this whole wholesome thing with us!
@@wiggy5209 I read a story a couple of years ago about a 9 y/o girl who was assaulted outside a train station at night time, and then after she went to ask for help from a guy in a car who was near the station and then he assaulted her too.
A few suggestions if you do this again (or if anyone else does this): - Wear trainers and proper walking socks to avoid blisters and painful feet. (Walking boots will either be expensive or be uncomfortable and stiff unless you wear them a lot). You could add gel insoles to your boots to make them more comfy (if there is room). - Don't use google maps to find routes - there are apps and wbsites that will give you walking/hiking routes that follow proper walking paths and avoid roads. These will be nicer routes too. - Always have a water bottle! Pubs and cafes will fill it up for free if you ask for tap water. - The UK is pretty safe, especially in countryside and villages, but be careful in larger towns and cities when dark. - You need a sleeping mat to go under your sleeping bag. You can get inflatable ones that roll up to the size of a beer can. - In the winter the UK gets dark early, it is worth getting a good rechargeable headtorch
A good set of hiking boots with gel insoles are great, way better than trainers. She should just break them in with a 1-2h walk beforehand. Comfortable, warm and protect your feet from all the crap on the english paths, glass, rubbish etc. The soles are hard, but slightly flexible, so they last for ages too. Komoot is a great app for finding walkable routes (and cycling routes too).
@@scoobydoobydoooo but sadly it isnt and thats the problem, i admire her for doing this, but i personally think she is far to young to be doing this on her own
I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. Its good to walk at night - its an entirely different vibe and despite the concerns its still much safer than wandering the average UK city at night!
I grew up in the countryside with basically no parental supervision. Night time in the country is probably one of the safest places on the planet, worst case scenario is helping a drunk farmer out of a ditch on their way home from the pub
I'm glad this was recommend to me, I live up in Yorkshire but love watching your pilgrimage through other areas of England I'll probably never see myself, thanks for the little history lessons with the text, definitely going to watch more of your videos.
Walking in the English countryside is definitely my favourite bit about England. It's always so quiet and peaceful, and the views are gorgeous. I sometimes go for night walks at around 3am for several hours and I come home having not seen a single soul on the road, and maybe 2 or 3 cars alone. It's very peaceful. One of my 3am walks last year I travelled several villages away and on the wrap back home I saw the blood moon rising from behind the hedgerows to my left... it was such an amazing sight. I didn't realise blood moons were real, and it made sense cause as I kept walking and it rose higher in the sky the moon got lighter and whiter as it left the horizon, so I assume it must've got the red colour from the evening sky beneath us. I must've perfectly timed it.
8:36 Those are stinging nettles you are stood on (we don't have poison Ivy in the UK). Very common, annoying and painful but not dangerous. The best way to stop the stinging is to lather Vaseline over the area to create a thick layer that prevents oxygen getting to it which halts the reaction that causes the itchy/stinging sensation.
@@tc98826 Dock is just a placebo effect unfortunately - either of the very common UK plantains (greater or ribwort) actually work though as they are anti-inflammatory and inhibit histamine release
Can't make up my mind whether Mole is endearingly dotty or completely nuts. But she's very likeable. I don't know what she had in that 'Spoons but it was enormous. Yeah, definitely don't take your feet off in public; it will alarm everyone and some people might faint. It will also betray your alien origins. _The Bees in the Wall_ is an excellent pub! I used to go there before I moved to the south coast. Thank you for posting this, Little mole. It was a peaceful time watching it (except for when you were on the road without a footpath!!)
The Luce fit is amazing! Glad to see people re-discovering these old pilgrimage routes! You'll have to come to Ireland to see places like Knock shrine, Croagh Patrick, Lough Derg, and St Declan's way.
Hi Miss Mole Love your sense of enthusiasm and adventure but please be safe and let someone know your location when you’re going on those adventures. In those cowboy boots, i feel your pain. Go on e bay and get some good quality used walking boots. I can’t wait to see the next adventure! If you ever come to North Wales, we’d love to give you some ideas of where to go. Your cat is great!!!!
That took some guts. Not many young people these days would attempt such an adventure. ( Which is a pity ) Walking you come across so many little interesting things along the way. Enjoyed watching your journey
I now live in London after studying in Cambridge for my bachelor’s degree - I used to live very nearby to the final church!! Thank you algorithm for bringing me your content - subscribed!! Take care and rest your feet now ❤
Oh my. When I saw you walking on the side of the road it reminded me of a time I did the same thing back from London from a train station to my flat. It was late and I was alone so I tried to walk to town and didn't realise there wasn't any pavement most of the way! Glad you are safe & good on you for doing this! Thanks for the video!!
Walking on an A/B road with no pathment at night is just nuts. The yellow jacket helps a bit. But you should put a high vis vest in your back pack next time or even wear bike lights
Please be careful in tbe dark i dont want you to fall in the water. Its very scary for you . You should not skip your breakfast if you are walking in the cold . It is also very useful to have a proper OS map You can see a lot more than looking at a small screen . Well done for doing this walk !
I'm not a christian but I really liked this video!!! I'm disabled so I can't explore as much as I'd like to so it's nice to see someone else undertaking such a great journey!!!! :)
This was a really entertaining video. I used to LOVE going on super long walks. All the things you find along the way, just so much fun. Subscribed and hope to see more!

Seeing the good things about the country I love through another's eyes will always be a blessed experience. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Great video little mole. Really enjoyed watching your journey. It must have been very satisfying for you to complete it! Thanks for uploading something that feels like content from a time when TH-cam was good.
This video was great, randomly showed up in my recommended. Good job on the journey. Only advice i would give, if you are walking at night near those busy roads consider a hi-vis or something to stand out, and as others have said try to walk on the side you can see oncoming traffic. Loved the positivity and the overall journey!
My girlfriend and I love doing stuff like this! We once did a walk from Liverpool to Manchester and it was such an adventure. Our first day was ~20 miles and we also ended up walking in the dark (and having to go back on ourselves for an hour because the path was blocked!). All part of the fun. Seems like you had a great time!
Was recommended this channel through the algorithm. It was a great little adventure, thank you for taking us along with you! Nice little addon at the end with Abide with me.
Just randomly popped up in my feed 🙅♀ but a really good watch. Well made and interesting. Good to see the church still offering pilgrims some shelter. Congratulations on your journey, that's a big effort!
This totally made my morning and even went for a walk before coming home to watch the rest can't wait and super grateful to see more of your adventures 😊
This content is ridiculously wholesome! As a part-time Londoner who spends 6 months a year in Asia to get away from the wetness and drabness of it all, it's nice to see someone approaching the city with such a sense of wonder. Keep up the content and the positive attitude!
Seeing you do this walk fills me with a lot of respect and also anxiety - I'm a 33 year old man and I don't think I'd have the balls to do this! I'm glad you made it safe and everyone was nice to you on the way - you seem like a very sweet lady!
Ahh its not dangerous out there both- in the country and in cities of UK. Just need a bit of common sense. Don't listen to the tabloids and fearmongers!
@PatrickByrne-e5v oh I'm British & live in London / am from the shires 😅 I think it's more she ends up on canal paths and country lanes when it's pitch black, not dangerous intrinsically but definitely sketchy!
@@TJWHOPE If she can swim, isn’t doing it in the middle of winter and makes sure to eat/drink enough then there isn’t any real danger. Biggest dangers would be collapsing from heat/dehydration in summer, freezing in winter or drowning in a canal if you can’t swim. All pretty unlikely and avoidable.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I grew up in East Hertfordshire, not too far from your route and it took me back to those days walking the country lanes in the dark. I had forgotten how beautiful it can be. After he retired my father worked at Imperial war museum Duxford rebuilding a plane from the 1940s .
Well done for persevering, it would have been so easy to give up with those blisters but you didn't. Nice to see you connect with your fellow moles along the way., such a wholesome watch.
Wow I really watched the whole video. I would love more videos like this please. I'm very impressed how you walked so long. Be careful, hope you stay safe
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! The editing was absolutely fantastic, and your presentation skills truly shine-you have such a warm and cheerful energy that makes it so engaging to watch. It's no surprise that you've already built an audience, and I have no doubt that you'll continue to grow even more. Keep up the amazing work-I’m excited to see what you share next!
I've been thinking of doing something similar for way too long. This video randomly popped up on my feed and made the itch unbearable. Thanks for the motivation, I'm definitely going to plan my own adventure now
Wasn't expecting it to be an asian girl with a cute accent when I clicked this video, was expecting a balding 20 year old bloke from newcastle lol. Very good and high quality content. I appreciate you taking the time to get out the city and see the real England while making a journey.
That was a brilliant adventure my friend, and a great achievement to have done it by foot. I thoroughly enjoyed following you on your journey. I hope your feet are all better now. A very Merry Christmas to a very brave and intelligent young lady. May all the good things that can find you, find you in 2025. :)
I did the Aldermaston to London march (for CND, that's the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) back in the Spring of 1963. 50 miles, and we did at least 15 miles every day. It was absolutely killing, but at least we jad a lot of company and singing to keep us going. I don't know how you did this on your own. Great bravery and determination. What an amazing character you are. Well done.
At 16:11 when you are lost, behind your head there is the sign that shows where the footpath is that goes left across Pishiobury park where Pishiobury Dr ends. You just need to follow the dashed lines on the google maps app or the UK OS survey maps app because these are the public foot paths. Once you know where the path is on the map you can look for markers and sign posts to guide you.
Way to go Mole 👍🙂. I found your channel 'yesterday' ;12 December 2024 and absolutely love this walk trek you've done. I do much the same when I am travelling abroad in different countries.
This video just demonstrates what a nightmare the south of England is to walk in. I also went on a pilgrimage walk from Reading to Southampton - dangerous place to be a pedestrian! One of the few properly nice bits to walk through was on the Itchen Way, which is the last part from Winchester. Otherwise it's fast windy roads with high hedges and no pavement. Can't say I'd recommend to anyone I cared about!
Walking London to Cambridge is absolutely fucking mental. I love it.

I'm not religious but thank you for sharing your faith as part of your journey in such a non-pushy and gentle way, your little rosary is so sweet!!
Born and raised in Cambridge, loved the video, looked like you really had a good time. You have a new subscriber 😊.
Seeing the good things about the country I love through another's eyes will always be a blessed experience. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
She woke up and decided to become Luce. Absolutely based.
Great video little mole. Really enjoyed watching your journey. It must have been very satisfying for you to complete it! Thanks for uploading something that feels like content from a time when TH-cam was good.
This video was great, randomly showed up in my recommended. Good job on the journey. Only advice i would give, if you are walking at night near those busy roads consider a hi-vis or something to stand out, and as others have said try to walk on the side you can see oncoming traffic. Loved the positivity and the overall journey!
You are such a hero for doing this! Stay safe
My girlfriend and I love doing stuff like this! We once did a walk from Liverpool to Manchester and it was such an adventure. Our first day was ~20 miles and we also ended up walking in the dark (and having to go back on ourselves for an hour because the path was blocked!). All part of the fun. Seems like you had a great time!
Girl o can't belive youdid that walk in those boots... your hard-core. I'm gonna do this walk now.
you're too precious for this country... like a tiny ray of sunshine in this grey, depressing dystopia
This video proves that life is what you make it, it's not about where you live.
England is an extraordinary country. Not everywhere, not always, but try to find the good in it. There's plenty out there.
What a strong & brave mole 🥹
Thank you 😸😸
@@Imalittlemole My pleasure, darling mole! The way you jumped when the Wetherspoon lady brought your food 😫 just want to protek you 😭
Well well well@@Ida-Adriana
Ah hell, i'm lowkey tempted to do this now??? Also, this was such a fun video to watch !!!
Was recommended this channel through the algorithm. It was a great little adventure, thank you for taking us along with you! Nice little addon at the end with Abide with me.
Can't believe I've found Geowizards long lost sister
or john rodger!
imagine the collab
@@postRMO what would verity say?
Can't tell if she's more or less chaotic. There are hotels, but also she points at shit.
@@olivere5497 Ok now the algorithm makes more sense..
I am unwell at the moment and your videos are so soothing. Thank you!!
Just randomly popped up in my feed 🙅♀ but a really good watch. Well made and interesting. Good to see the church still offering pilgrims some shelter. Congratulations on your journey, that's a big effort!
This totally made my morning and even went for a walk before coming home to watch the rest can't wait and super grateful to see more of your adventures 😊
TH-cam needs more blessed content like this.
This content is ridiculously wholesome! As a part-time Londoner who spends 6 months a year in Asia to get away from the wetness and drabness of it all, it's nice to see someone approaching the city with such a sense of wonder. Keep up the content and the positive attitude!
Seeing you do this walk fills me with a lot of respect and also anxiety - I'm a 33 year old man and I don't think I'd have the balls to do this!
I'm glad you made it safe and everyone was nice to you on the way - you seem like a very sweet lady!
Ahh its not dangerous out there both- in the country and in cities of UK. Just need a bit of common sense. Don't listen to the tabloids and fearmongers!
@PatrickByrne-e5v oh I'm British & live in London / am from the shires 😅 I think it's more she ends up on canal paths and country lanes when it's pitch black, not dangerous intrinsically but definitely sketchy!
@@TJWHOPE Aye i get ya brother. And tryin to follow those maps in some rural places will get you proper lost haha
@@TJWHOPE If she can swim, isn’t doing it in the middle of winter and makes sure to eat/drink enough then there isn’t any real danger. Biggest dangers would be collapsing from heat/dehydration in summer, freezing in winter or drowning in a canal if you can’t swim. All pretty unlikely and avoidable.
@@criert135 I mean even if you can swim but I bet itd be easy to drown if you fell in with clothes on
Oh my god this channel is so wholesome. Keep making content please!!
Googling for historic London walks, and I stumbled across this video. I am not disappointed.
So glad my algorithm found you! Bless you!
I love walking!! But I have never walked a trek like this over 3 days!! In the winter as well! You are an inspiration
Thank you for sharing your journey.
I grew up in East Hertfordshire, not too far from your route and it took me back to those days walking the country lanes in the dark.
I had forgotten how beautiful it can be.
After he retired my father worked at Imperial war museum Duxford rebuilding a plane from the 1940s .
Well done for persevering, it would have been so easy to give up with those blisters but you didn't. Nice to see you connect with your fellow moles along the way., such a wholesome watch.
I'm absolutely addicted to your channel and this is my third time watching this one video - thank you :)
Be careful Mole, especially at night, and more so on the roads. Loved the video, but i felt a bit on edge too for you lol
Yeah as a Londoner of almost 20 years and a huge true crime watcher… watching her walking at night like that made me really anxious 😭
This video has such cosy vibes. I love it.
goated recommended pull
thank you youtube algo
You be careful out there!
The cutest thing I’ve seen in some time.
Wow I really watched the whole video. I would love more videos like this please. I'm very impressed how you walked so long. Be careful, hope you stay safe
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! The editing was absolutely fantastic, and your presentation skills truly shine-you have such a warm and cheerful energy that makes it so engaging to watch. It's no surprise that you've already built an audience, and I have no doubt that you'll continue to grow even more. Keep up the amazing work-I’m excited to see what you share next!
I've been thinking of doing something similar for way too long. This video randomly popped up on my feed and made the itch unbearable. Thanks for the motivation, I'm definitely going to plan my own adventure now
Yay! Good luck with your journey!
For info, in the uk sidewalks are called pavements.
Can’t believe you walked this far without proper shoes. :)
Well done for doing this, great stuff.
Good content, me and my mates enjoyed watching on discord. More walks please.
What a charming video. Be safe out there Mole.
Wasn't expecting it to be an asian girl with a cute accent when I clicked this video, was expecting a balding 20 year old bloke from newcastle lol. Very good and high quality content. I appreciate you taking the time to get out the city and see the real England while making a journey.
nowt wrong with Newcastle
That was a brilliant adventure my friend, and a great achievement to have done it by foot. I thoroughly enjoyed following you on your journey. I hope your feet are all better now. A very Merry Christmas to a very brave and intelligent young lady. May all the good things that can find you, find you in 2025. :)
Im a little mole
You're a little mole
i disagree
But your profile photo is clearly of a cat. I disagree with this assessment.
I did the Aldermaston to London march (for CND, that's the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) back in the Spring of 1963. 50 miles, and we did at least 15 miles every day. It was absolutely killing, but at least we jad a lot of company and singing to keep us going. I don't know how you did this on your own. Great bravery and determination. What an amazing character you are. Well done.
At 16:11 when you are lost, behind your head there is the sign that shows where the footpath is that goes left across Pishiobury park where Pishiobury Dr ends. You just need to follow the dashed lines on the google maps app or the UK OS survey maps app because these are the public foot paths. Once you know where the path is on the map you can look for markers and sign posts to guide you.
This was so much fun! Thanks for sharing your adventure lilmole :>
This was an amazing video :) I’d love to see you explore the beautiful north of England’s countryside one day!
Way to go Mole 👍🙂. I found your channel 'yesterday' ;12 December 2024 and absolutely love this walk trek you've done. I do much the same when I am travelling abroad in different countries.
7:58 I gotta say though ;you're very brave walking that late alone. You m just be careful as certain places in the UK aren't safe to walk that late 😢.
Damn, kinda scary! Love the video but be careful lil mole!
This video just demonstrates what a nightmare the south of England is to walk in. I also went on a pilgrimage walk from Reading to Southampton - dangerous place to be a pedestrian! One of the few properly nice bits to walk through was on the Itchen Way, which is the last part from Winchester. Otherwise it's fast windy roads with high hedges and no pavement. Can't say I'd recommend to anyone I cared about!
with your raincoat and rosary you look like luce!!!! sending you love❤❤❤
that’s what I thought too😆
No idea why this was recommended to me but glad it did. You're a natural in front of camera and the production quality is excellent. Subscribed
