Solo Thru-Hiking: John O'Groats to Lands End
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2023
- Join me as i take on my biggest challenge, to walk from John O'Groats in the northeast of Scotland to Lands End in the far Southwest of Cornwall. This week my route takes me through the north of England where i follow the extensive canal network. I make my way to the Welsh boarder and join the Welsh Coast path and follow it all the way to the Snowdonia National Park.
Epic filming. Really appreciate the fact you bother to film yourself walking away for the shot. This makes Sunday a place to come and enjoy your 'efforts.' Thank you.
What an amazing achievement Tom.. Just think, when you get to Cornwall you will be able to gaze at a map of the UK and think to yourself..... Yep !! I walked all the way from John O'Groats to Lands-end..... Thats epic..... Well done...
I wonder how many miles are added with back tracking to collect the camera?
You really do pick the challenging routes, huge respect for that. I was up Helvellyn on one of those hot days and it was brutal. You are hiking big distance with a heavy pack! You must be getting super fit Tom.
Well done mate, this is a super cool series to follow.
Legendary effort Tom. Always a great watch, keep going
Am still loving every episode Tom. A massive physical feat and brilliant filming and editing - whatever challenges you face in the future, just keep reminding yourself you did all this!
Wow, this is an epic journey! The determination it takes to hike from John O'Groats to Lands End solo is truly inspiring. Your video captures the beauty and challenges of the trail so well. Thanks for taking us along on this incredible adventure. Can't wait to see more of your hiking experiences!
Brilliant filming and storytelling bud! What a fantastic and professional work, this was executed masterfully!
You have given us some much inspiration to plana walk, def not as long as what you are doing, but a multi day one. We enjoy your commentry, and the sheer rawness of your adventures, congrats Tom on your journey so far 😊
As someone who lives in N Wales (near Conwy) I love how pleasantly surprised ppl from elsewhere are when they view the coast, landscape, sunsets, etc. Makes you appreciate what you have! Great efforts here Tom, really enjoying this series.
Think you are my hero Tom. Am a bit of an old lady now but have hiked so much with a heavy backpack in days gone by. You are resurrecting my memories so thank you. Well done Tom, brilliant filming. ❤
You’re making great progress, your third country on the trip!
Some more marvellous scenery.
Hope all goes well in the next stretch, you’re doing awesome, what a fantastic memorable life event.
All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Cool shot where you walked off into the mist. I love the eeriness of walking through mist and fog.
Ah Tom, your route past Warrington came within a few miles from us on this video... if we'd been here you could have come round for a brew!
Yeah it was so hot that week wasn't it, 🌞🥵 but then it's always like that in the North West! ...and I bet you never thought you'd need a machete on the footpaths of Cheshire!
I think I heard that stranded ferry near Mostyn was a night club in the 1980s ...?
But I love Conwy, often been there, and in my mind it was always the start of the hills & mountains 🏔
Brilliant video Tom, especially that spooky atmospheric ending! 👏👏👏
This walk is a huge achievement, you should be very proud!
Hi Tom. You’ve done so much walking in that heat. You passed through my home city of Chester. It was great to see it on your video. Take care. Nick
Inspirational young man, you deserved those pints!
Walking the entire length of Britain that should be a nice afternoon hike
Wow Tom - impressive walking - great to see you walking through our home patch. I was in Colwyn Bay with my son not long before you passed through that way....would love to have bought you a pint! Great camera work and editing as usual - it must be so hard to walk back and forward on those static camera shots when all you want to do is go forward - but it is really worth it and makes us feel we are walking with you. Hope you are enjoying Snowdonia. Love from Southport.
The Pembrokeshire coastal path is beautiful ❤
Well done you🥰👏👏👏👏
Fantastic video Tom mate… really enjoying this series… you’re a legend, a very brave and determined one! I’m in awe of you pal.
Keep it up and keep ploughing on… we’re all rooting for you 🤝🤘💙
Amazing progress Tom - clocking up the miles every day. With the great weather, I’m surprised that you didn’t take a sea swim or two. Having a shower at the hostel must have been magic. Keep it up.
Fantastic again; I admire you! Welcome to North Wales.
Excellent video again Tom thanks 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️
Well, Tom. I'm a Brit, now living abroad in the US and my timeline threw up your adventures as something I'd enjoy based on my interests. Well, what a find. I am loving this length and breadth of Britain journey. Your very professional and polished narration and filming is a joy to watch. Thank you! As someone who has formerly hiked a lot of England, Scotland and Wales, this is also a trip down memory lane for me at times. I can't wait to watch the rest of this adventure. Also, Izzy is amazing. I love her appearances. Thank you for your dedication, both to walking and to recording and editing. Love and light 👍🙏
My legs ache just watching this 😂😂👍
Epic! Keep pushing forward Tom! 👍🏻
The British weather! Epic footage Tom, I’m totally absorbed in your Journey. Your gonna be as fit as any mountain goat! 🐐Power on fella👍
"the bit of land below Liverpool"... Thanks Tom for putting us Wirral people on the map! Loving the videos every time
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
We’ll done for picking up the Cambrian. I’ve done that bit before and loved it!
Just can’t wait to see your next episode totally blown away with your achievements and the content of you filming.
Good afternoon Tom you are amazing don’t know how you keep going canals kool thru towns but your last trek up the mountains epic I’m not a fan of heat well done see ya soon take care😘🌸🌺🌿
That was epic Tom. Such a contrast in terrain from the beginning of the video to the end. Awesome 👍

Amazing vlog, how you carried that backpack in that heat was incredible. 👍
What an amazing achievement you are doing. Well done
Oh marvelous video! Thank you for taking us along. Looking forward to next week !
Great vlog, we visited Conwy last year, great town with that stunning castle 👍
Great video is always fantastic.
Loved this! I’m not really a UA-cam type person because my attention span is that of a fly, but I enjoyed every minute! Amazing what you’re achieving, would love to do something like that one day! Thanks for the inspiration 🤗
Aww shucks ☺️
Croeso I gymru Tom! I'm in awe that you carried on walking through that heatwave when I spent it hiding in the house doing as little as possible 😂
Great effort mate, pushing some good miles!! Keep at it, all the best
I absolutely admire your sheer determination Tom all the miles you clocked up and the grueling hot weather with the steep climbs. Fantastic just love the videos. Keep drinking the water and rest
You have been walking on the routes I have done many times. It is a great part of the world. We lived in Chester in the past now in Shropshire.
Great video and glad you are enjoying the area. Keep going... really enjoy watching your adventure / journey 👏
Another great trip update Tom. Particularly interesting as you walked along the part of the canal I use locally.
This is already an amazing achievement. Camping in La Bamba in future will seem like a first class hotel after this experience!
I look forward to every week’s update. This is UA-cam at its best. Keep safe.
Fantastic Tom 😊
Fantastic work you put in thank you for all the effort
Well done Tom. You are amazing at walking and talking. Thanks for filming and sharing your adventure. 👏👏👏
Epic walk! Been following each week. It is inspiring
Top man Tom, great effort.
Hey Tom. As usual, your determination, ability, will-power and resilience is admirable. Stay on your path & keep your goal in sight. We are similar in our determination and ability Tom. Stay safe & enjoy the experience. 🚶🏻🚶🏻🚶🏻🚶🏻

Amazing, Tom. You're a true adventurer! Great video. Thanks. Joe.

Hi Tom, You are truly inspiring, so keep going..!
Incredible video this week, what a superhuman effort. Well done. M&L
unbelievable stamina. Huge props and superb content, glad u got a few pints too
Really enjoying watching your journey Tom. Your pace is amazing. Good luck with Wales and Snowden. Enjoy.
Loved every moment, thanks for taking us along, see you next time, big HI to Izzie I know you're watching too xx
Well done Tom. Hope you keeping your energy up for those Welsh hills. Keep safe mate.
How nice you showed Chester, beautiful city! Some years we visited it and my husband left his cap in the pub😅... Greetings from Lithuania!
Well done😊
Best of luck with everything on your travels take care now 👍👍
Great video Tom, you’ve gone through my part of the world in North Wakes and was nice to see it through your eyes. Enjoy Eryri (snowdonia)!
Well done Tom, truly amazing. You seem to be enjoying it the more it goes on. Nothing like centring yourself with nature. I bumped into a guy whilst on our van trip in Spain (we shared a washing machine at a super market) and it turns out we are both are following your journey. I’ve got one of his socks so I hope I bump into him in Portugal. Looking forward to next weeks vid. Well done!!!!
Good luck only just started watching yer videos and are really fun to watch and gives me ideas where I can go in wales as I spend most of my holidays there and any spare time when real life don’t get in the way
Well done m8 keep it going you inspire me to get out there I suffer with mental health issues but you keep me going well you and izabell inspire me thank you be strong
Wow fantastic footage those sunsets beautiful…. And you looked shattered during some of those walks ….. keep going doing brilliantly 👍
Bedankt voor de mooie beelden. Wens je veel succes, knap hoor dat je dit zo volhoud.
Well done Tom your sounding very chirpy❤❤❤❤.
Hi Tom, I watched your latest video on my tv rather than my laptop and was so amazed by the quality that I am now rewatching The West Highland Way. Continuing to inspire, keep going. 👍🙂
Brilliant stuff Tom. I recognise where you started this weeks vlog -it's about 1/2 mile from my home, as I said when you were in Scotland you would have been welcome to stay a night, have a shower food, bed and WiFi. Anyhow I can't believe the distance you have covered in the week. Glad you are enjoying it, keep well.
Hey there Tom. So love the journey you are taking and the incredible history also you bring to us. Lot of love and hugs as you journey forward and till you see Isabelle. Soon.
Absolutely loving the story telling of your trek Tom. But I’m worried about how little you appear to eat!! 🥾🏕️🍺
Brilliant, all those Welsh mountains, you're a star....and all fimed with such skill and passion.
Thank you ❤
Next weeks video will be an ode to the welsh mountains! ⛰️⛰️⛰️
Thanks for the kind words ☺️
( Strange thing to say, but....) once your walk has ended I'll watch every video of your walk back-to-back. Why? As a kind of homage to the fella who inspired me to begin hiking when I was only eight years old: John Hillaby. I actually read his ' Journey Through Britain ' when I was eight.( God alone knows how often I've read it since then ). Your videos come close to the route, and the places, he would have trekked through. So thanks for re-awakening my feet.
Loving this walk. Very impressed with your welsh pronunciation 🏴 look forward to next Sunday.
Dioch!
Must be your Celtic rootes😀
Your doing really well, enjoy the journey too, epic mate🥾⛰⛺️🍻
Are you following the Rugby World Cup Tom, England are doing Really well 👍 👏
Hi Tom and Izz, love your enthusiasm. In Ireland we had that warm weather spell it was the weirdest weather I'd ever experienced. The night time temperatures for the time of year were off the charts. The summer cycle has moved on from our part of the planet so the sun overhead did not produce these temperatures, warm air from the south, maybe.
After years temperature in Dublin will be as in Rome😅
Ogwen valley has to be my favourite place in the uk been all over Scotland and the Lakes but I'm always drawn back to Ogwen
💜
Well done Tom. Keep it going!!!!
I managed 25,000 steps on Thursday, I cant imagine how you are able to keep going each day
My longest day (into Glasgow) was over 60,000, that was a bit crazy though, usually it’s more like 45K. 🏃
Wow.....that's some going being able to do that - day after day.
Good to see you have reached Wales. I'd agree canals get boring after a while
