I did this 10 yrs ago, camped every night and took everything on my back. I got so lucky with the weather and not a single days rain. Great video and nice to relive some of those moments through your camera
Getting hooked on your channel. This one is on my bucket list. I film my adventures for video diary and love looking back on them. Your natural way of making them funny in a entertaining way will take you far if you are looking to grow your channel. I'm hooked.
Glad to hear it JT, thanks for watching! You did it in bivvies! Gonna watch yours now because there were quite a few nights where I thought a bivvy would be perfect. Thanks for the comment, man, genuinely appreciate the encouragement
Thanks, Kevin! 12 days was a lot but I met plenty of people who were completing it a day/section at a time. Plenty of food/accommodation options. I was fortunate to have some free time but fully intend on going back to re-do the odd section.
@@JonnoDoesStuff Hi Jonno. There are some magnificent walks in Ireland - have you got any plans to visit as I'd love to see your take on an Irish walk?
@@kevinmcquade2154 Hi Kevin. The Ireland Way on my list! Just finding the time and money (and weather!). Wicklow Way also looks amazing. Any recommendations?
Really good video. I’m glad to be able to take part in the walk vicariously by watching it. All I can say about my attempt is that “I went on holiday by mistake “. Really admire the resilience you demonstrated by completing the walk and managing to make a film at the same time!
Loved that Jonno. Brought back great memories of doing it 14 years ago this week. We were more fortunate than you with the weather though and only had two days of rain out of 16 (we didn’t rush!)
Thanks, Tony. And happy Coast to Coast anniversary! Will give it another go at a more sensible pace (and hopefully better weather) next time. Nevertheless, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to your Withnail and I vid!
Very cool. I’ve hiked in places where it’s ok to wild camp but knowing that’s not doable in England makes me nervous… I’m not sure I can handle the admin of planning where I’ll stay each night. Is there some handy resource for campsites and hostels on this route?
I didn't wild camp on this trip, it was too wet and I wanted a shower/breakfast/somewhere to dry my kit. Stayed at campsites, hostels, pubs, and the odd farm. It's very well catered for and I had no problems finding somewhere as I went (nothing pre-booked). It's also totally possible to wild camp, I saw a ton of potential places. There's a great Facebook page called 'Coast to Coast Walk' where you'll find pretty much everything you'd need to plan sleeping places. Highly recommend :)
Just found your channel, enjoying this vid. Cant wait for more uk adventures. Loving the dcf atom. I have the vx21 custom and a mo. How you finding the duplex in the wind. I bought one not used it i have to many tents lol .
Thanks for watching! Hoping to squeeze 1-2 more UK adventures in. The DCF Atom is a very fine pack, really enjoyed it on this trip. I really like the Duplex, I wouldn't say it's ideal for the UK. Had a couple of not fun windy nights in it but I think that was due to using Groundhog Minis. Since using the regular Groundhogs it's be sturdy. Alas, the hunt for the perfect tent never ends!
Very nice video, thank you. Was that really July? Looked more like October, terrible weather and looked very quiet, I’d have expected hoards of people to be walking the coast to coast.
I walk a bit, I film a bit, I watch a lot of other walkers. This was just great in all respects (except weather). Somehow it even made me think I could do the Coast to Coast one day - if only I develop the necessary philosophical humour.
Thanks, Catherine! Will do it again one day, and hope for better weather! It's an amazing walk with plenty of food/accommodation/itinerary/route options for people of all abilities. I met one lady who'd walked it 10 times. She'd had a hip operation 4 months prior to her latest attempt!
At the start of the video I was thinking ‘So HE is one of the swines that swiped one of the limited DCF Atom’s that I scratched my chin over for at least an hour whilst supping my breakfast tea’. At the end of the video I thought ‘Fantastic, it couldn’t have gone to a better fellow’ !! Brilliant video thank you, it’s now up there next to Dexter as my two favourite C2C videos.
Yeah, I had to have it. Doing my best to ensure it gets thoroughly used, certainly got my money's worth on this trip! There's a gear video, too, if you're interested. Thanks so much for watching, a big Dexter fan so that's high praise 🙌
Was pretty happy with it! Wouldn't have minded 1 more set of clothes but otherwise was perfect. Was walking in Altra Lone Peak 7s. Gear list on my channel if you want to have a look :)
@@JonnoDoesStuff Thanks. Watched your kit video as well now. Can't believe you managed a drone as well. But as it gets colder you will need a bigger baggy and if you are going to carry a cook set, you'll have to drop the drone (and carry the food). Pubs and shops are so common now though and I agree to use them over carrying lots of foods.
@@marvinbrock2572 Agreed, it's easier going lighter in the summer. I don't do much (if any) winter hiking but given how atrocious the summer was I'm looking at getting some proper winter kit. Luckily I already own a bigger bag!
@@JonnoDoesStuff Probably sounds ridiculous but I'm looking at an 80 litre to replace my last 70. It's not that I pack more than I need to but the difference in weight between a 35 and an 80 litre is about 1ilb and most of the weight is in the straps and support and I can't help thinking that if you are going to put weight into anything, then why the heck not in the thing doing the carrying! High tog sleeping bags don't weigh much more than low tog either, they just take up more space. I guess I'm a large and light person. A little extra space if I need it :)
@@marvinbrock2572 Not ridiculous at all! When it comes to pack size it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. I don't always expect to err on the minimal side of packing, I enjoy the odd luxury item!
Me: 'Hey dude what are you watching?' Friend: 'Oh, you know steve, just some hiking prep videos...' This video: 'I'M GETTING BLOWN HAAAARD' Friend: uh huh... HIKING videos 👀
@@JonnoDoesStuff Good job you wisely avoided Helvellyn and Striding Edge, you could have got properly sucked off to a sticky and messy end, certainly not a happy ending. Lovely video, i properly jealous. These days i live vicariously through channels such as yours. :)
@@jamesmaybrick2001 Sage advice. I'm planning on going back to do Helvellyn and Striding Edge, this time without the inherent risk of getting sucked or blow off, thus avoiding a sticky and messy end. Stay tuned!

Big fan of the Muckout 750, glad it's getting the recognition it deserves
It's mucking great!
I did this 10 yrs ago, camped every night and took everything on my back. I got so lucky with the weather and not a single days rain. Great video and nice to relive some of those moments through your camera
Thanks! Massively jealous of everyone who got better weather than I did. I guess I'll have to have another go :)
That's spot on that, mate. Well done, I've not seen a genuinely enjoyable hiking video for some time.
Woah, thanks, Andy! Hopefully can make the next one just as enjoyable 😬
is that the new SUPER DRY-TEC Peak Shell? what did you think?
@@randarkanan Nah, a Versalite, which did ok, but did wet out eventually. In its defence I got a lot of sustained rain.
I agree about Intake Farm. Stayed there on C2C in 2023. Brilliant hosts and good food. Sets you up nicely for the final day.
Judith, what an absolute legend
Thanks for sharing the trip it looked like an awesome experience 👍
Thanks! It was!
Great work!

That weather is so different from when I did my C2C in 23 when I had 15 days of blistering heat and not one day of rain. It is an epic walk though.
A repeat attempt is definitely on the cards! Having gone from hiking in the blistering hot Canaries... to this... was quite a shock. Fun tho
@ I’m actually thinking of repeating it in the future as well but I have a couple of other hikes in mind first
@@RichardShortland-Neal Hope you get better weather than I did!
I genuinely enjoyed that. Good commentary. Wish I'd done it when I was fit enough. Congratulations.

Looked Epic

I love your love and obvious expertise in muckers. Great video, highs and lows, but you pulled through, lucky last night!!!
A fellow mucker aficionado! Thanks!
😂😂 ooo that were funny. Well done I did LOL a LOT and throughly enjoyed yr adventure. Brilliant filming and editing 🤩

Done that, a great walk, yes we got very wet. No surprise in England.
It's why we love it (I think)

What a difference from when I did the C2C last year in a heatwave
Oh, crumbs! I think I'll stick with rain :)
Herriots Way around Keld and Reeth is a good walk
Ah, amazing. Been looking for an excuse to return. Thanks!
Very nice video, thank you. Was that really July? Looked more like October, terrible weather and looked very quiet, I’d have expected hoards of people to be walking the coast to coast.
Thanks! It was indeed July. Yeah, it was quite quiet, especially for the summer holidays. I guess everyone else was sensible and stayed at home

To much winning, and unnecessary bad language.
