Myself Ant and Rab the dog are in the process of walking the English and Welsh coastal path which is around 3500 miles or 5600km.
We set of on this adventure on the spring equinox (2024) and our journey is well underway.
I will be filming our journey to document the places we pass through, the people and dogs we meet, my feelings and thoughts and the ways in which we manage ourselves to keep the walk going.

Wales Coastal Path ep.31 Prestatyn to Abergele
Welcome to our adventure. Myself Ant and Rab the dog have embarked on our walk along the coastal paths of England and Wales.
Starting our trip on the Scottish boarder town of Gretna and heading south along the Cumbrian coast, on to Lancashire and Merseyside, the Wirral and then walking the amazing Welsh coastal path.
After this if we are still fit for the job we will try to walk the rest of the English coastal path.
This will be a self supported trip. Rab and I have our campervan which we will spend most of our nights in. We will have to complete the days walk and then find our way back to pick up the van by Bus, Train, Hitching a ride and sometimes we may have to walk back.
When a days walk will not bring us to a place suitable to get back to the van we will camp out.
One of the challenges of this trip outside of the walk is to find a suitable place to park our van every night.
I will be documenting our journey to see what this long walk has to offer both from the external environment we experience and my internal, personal journey through the highs and lows of this long distance adventure.
Along with walking through the amazing and diverse landscapes of this trip it will be an exploration of my spiritual, physical and emotional self, due to this fact please understand that some attitudes and opinions I may express while filming may not be a true representation of my thoughts, and though these moments can be edited out I would like show at least some of my emotions at the time I experience them.
With this in mind my friends, I reserve the right to change my mind and my opinion at any moment.
I welcome any questions you may have
much love to you all...

Dude, if you know you are filming for UA-cam, get a microphone that damps out wind noise.
@johnmacdonald8040 thanks for the advise...it's a good idea
Ha ha full welsh breakfast 🐋🍳doesn’t sound right ! Loved that rant 😂 safe travels 🌊🐕🚶
@chaddy861 hey good on ya bro...we wish for you a wonderful year...
Ant on the Rant 😄
@@Capture262 sometimes you gotta be on the rant bro
Stunning...though Rab seemed suitably unimpressed 😂
From the days when we loved engines that much that we gave them names...
@AdeptHavelock yes...what a wonderful thing eh...we can engage with that beauty whenever we chose to....
Keep going Ant and Rab, look forward to watching more of your adventures
@Capture262 thank you my friend...many more to come...gonna be in Wales for a while now
Happy New Year Ant loving the journey footage!
Hey there Charlie, all the very best to you. Glad you like the trip. I feel it may get better as we go along???
Happy New year ant and rab 👍🏻
Hey...all the very best to you bro...
Amazing...
@@paweszymanski9453 yes beautiful it is
I know the Wirral area well, so nice to see it again, best of luck to you and your dog.🐶🐕
❤🐶
Well done on completing that first English section
@Capture262 thank you...that is the warm up done...
I'd never stepped in quicksand before😮😮😮
Well done mate !! Scotland to Wales 🏴 some dog walk that !! Looking forward to watching the rest of it 💪🏻
@@chaddy861 hey thanks chaddy, I hope all is good for you...all the very best
Congrats on making it to the Welsh border, how long do you think it will take you to complete the coast of Wales? Bill from Cumbria.
Hey there Bill, as rab and I sit here now the welsh coast has been walked...we got to Chepstow on the 7th of august...What a wonderful journey it is..hope you enjoy the vids...ant and rab...
thank you all for your comments...i love to read everyone's ideas and knowledge...much love to you all
Oh man!! I can't believe you made such a journey just to see the surface of this magnificent city. I agree, you need to return and do a proper visit in order to appreciate what is available and what you choose to see. Otherwise, what's the point of your journeying?
Hi Katherine, thanks for your comments, sounds like you may know the area well...Just to clarify our trip is to walk the coast of England and wales. it is a journey of around 3500 miles so we do not have the time to explore places we would like to. maybe we will do that on a future trip...
The immense structure is the Anglican Cathedral the biggest in England. It's really worth going inside ,especially the rooftops offer a brilliant view, not to mention the decor and art inside.
Yes the air vents are for the Mersey Tunnel transport system.
The birds you mention are a kind of cormorant Bella looking to the sea protecting the seafarers and Bertie looking to the land to protect the residents. Legend has it that if these birds disappear the city will dissolve. What possessed you to walk from Bootle to the centre? You could have gotten much closer to the centre no problem. There's so much beauty and hisory to see in this city. Shame you were in so much pain.
Did you post the message back ? Do you know where he threw the bottle in ?
hey there steve, I did post it back but never got a reply, not sure where the bottle went in???
@ thanks for getting back to me bud ... just found your channel... i live along the Coast Road so found your Roa Island to Bardsea fascinating... i'm also from Barrow ( retired Submarine Builder ) so loved your take on the town
@stevemarshall2728 thank you steve...such a wonderful journey we are on. Briefly visiting all these coastal places we have never been to...we are happy you like the vids and hope to hear from you during the rest of our long dog walk...
When I was 15 I went on a pilgrimage to Liverpool Cathedral .I was blown away with the buildings architecture.
What a great pilgrimage, you should do it again...
Lovely, What a magnificent building
Beautiful in there
👀👍🏻
That big brick building you mentioned just happens to be the World,s biggest single brick building!! 👍👍 And that Bascule bridge next to it , has a identical twin Sister on the other side of the river in Birkenhead 🤔🤔🤔
Modern architecture saps the will to live out of you...its so uninspiring. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...
Totally agree, the new developments around Mann Island and Liverpool 1 are a Disgrace 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
😊 loved watching this one pal , I have to agree with you on the beautiful old buildings Vs the shiny Lego style eyesores were forced to see ❤
yes bro, glad you liked it...
Liverbirds are cormorants with seaweed in there mouths
Big up Ant and Rab YNWA
16:00 ventilation for the tunnel
For the new tunnel ( Kingsway) The Old tunnel (Queensway) ventilation shaft is on The Strand 👍👍
❤
Seen all the coastal path walks, so up to date on your videos. But where are you now? This one is months old! Also looked at your very first...no dog. He is brilliant.
Another wonderful episode Ant. You're a 100% on George Carlin, the man is a legend. See you next time. Stay healthy stay happy stay humble.
Great video again mate ! I agree with you get the angle grinder out 😂 safe travels mate 🌊🐕🚶
I live there. I like the statues on the beach.
Ant on the rant 🤣 keep going!!
Brilliant Ant 👍🏻
This section has got a permanent diversion to avoid the missing bridges. Even seven years ago I found the route, shown on @r4ndym4n channel.
Just come across this video. Subscribed to keep updated. But will start watching at the first. Over the past few years I have done sections in the NE, E, and NW: all documented. Hope you get to 1000 subscribers soon!
hey, thanks for the sub. I hope we can keep you entertained...
Sea buckthorn makes a great drink, another good video 😄
@Capture262 thank you...will have to try that when I get the chance...
Brilliant Ant looks like rab enjoyed formby
@SCOUSEOBIE hey bro, yes we both loved it round and about there...
@ nice1 Ant 👍🏻
If Kevin McCloud ever retires, you'd be a shoe-in for the Grand Designs presenters job 😉
Thank you for your comments, we are happy you enjoyed the episode...
Nice to see Undy another face I’ve not seen for years! What a house and plumbing job 👍🏼😂
We met you and Rab walking the causeway from Sunderland Point to Overton and have often talked about you wondering how you've got on. It's good to see your trip! Peter and Tracy
@TracyArmer-s6j hi there Peter and Tracy, yes I remember we enjoyed a lovely chat on the causeway. I trust all is good for you and it's great that you have found our channel. We hope you enjoy the videos...much love...ant and rab
Great video. That house is amazing!
What a nice house, another good video 👍
Loved that house you're friend built pal stunning 😊
