Day 8 of solo hiking the Coast to Coast, my mum dropped me off in Kirkby Stephen and I made my way to Keld (I discuss at around 8:25 why I missed the section between Shap & Kirkby Stephen as I believe it was the right choice to make).
On my way to Keld I come across so many funny sheep, loud birds, and some intriguing sights.
I had an awesome night as I met up with several other hikers and we all spent the night in Keld chatting, drinking & playing games!:)

Also, my brother and I hiked Hadrian’s Wall to raise money for Mind, we got 55 miles in before we were forced to cut it short due to food poisoning from The Twice Brewed Inn on our third night! We're better now, and will continue the walk soon, so if you’d like to donate and support Mind I’ll add the link below! It’d mean so much, and for a good cause!

Thank you so much. Another wonderful video pulling me right out of some January darkness.
I feel you about the January blues, I find it's best to just plan things to look forward to. I'm in the middle of planning my hikes for 2024 which i'm so excited for! I'm glad my videos are helping! :)
And I saw in the live chat right before it disappeared that you said you used to be a Patreon?
@@Orenjen I used to be a Pateron lol. Now I’m just a Patreon. Yeah January is not fun. I’m usually getting myself into shape gradually for trips. Nice walks with the dogs etc. but the weather this winter isn’t great for it. So far I’ve been pretty stuck. But I’m hopeful the weather improves and I can get going without having filthy dogs every time.
@@chrislang7460 a Pateron 😂 I can’t believe that haha I’m so embarrassed it took me so long to notice 😂
yeah that’s good with the dog walking, hoping that the weather lets up a little for Feb as I wanna get back out camping (screw doing that in January). Almost half way through now at least!
@@Orenjen please don’t be embarrassed. It was a simple mistake. Yeah we’re halfway through. The mornings are getting lighter again. It’s heading in the right direction and I’ve got your wonderful videos to get me through. Some truly wonderful wholesome content
If it HELPS YOU talk about your Mental Wellbeing then DO NOT STOP, we the audiance can always turn the sound off or down. YOU come first, second and third in that respect. Plod on Young Lady and hopefully YOU will enjoy every step of the journey. Tony in Essex
Keld and Stone Barns brings back many happy memories for me, not only from my two crossing on the Coast to Coast but also two hikes along the Pennine Way and one of my John OGroats to Lands Ends hikes. While the C2C will always be my most favourite Hike, my first encounter of Keld was on my First Pennine Way Prior to joining the Army in 1976, I returned to Keld again in my second Pennine Way Hike in 1979 at the grand old age of 23 after leaving the Army, now I am spending my first year of retirement enjoying others doing hikes I have done in the Past and hopefully leaving KIND COMMENTs and Memories of my Hiking Days. Enjoy your Coast to Coast and all future Hike you undertake. Tony in Essex
I’m so impressed with all that you’ve done, and yes thank you for all of these kind comments you’ve left! They’re making my day to read them ♥️
@@Orenjen Not sure if I have told you of my Longest Hike ever, its one hike that few others finish. Starting at John OGroats head south ALONG THE COAST, if you come across a stretch of water (River) you can not jump across follow the River / Stream until you can jump accross it, continue along the coast until you return to your starting Place (ie Walk the Complete Coastline of Great Britian) distance walked approx 5,000 MILES, time taken nearly 6 years, and NO I did not reverse the route to say I had walked the "Complete Coastline of the Main Island in both directions". After that hike I took a rest from Hiking and got a job for 10 yrs before taking smaller hikes. Now I am retired I am getting restless so I think another trip to Ennerdale will take place this year 2023. Just for shorter day hikes and maybe bag a few Munros. Keep Hiking while you enjoy it, then you too can look back in 50 or 60 yrs time with the same memories I have. All the Best for 2023, Tony in Essex.
Nine standards CAN be a very nice place to visit in the good weather but not so nice if its raining or foggy as it was on my first Pennine Way Hike. On my last visit to Nine Standards in 2010 (aged 50+), I was blessed with clear blue skys and no wind, that was a holiday I took to revisit some of the places I really enjoyed, I caught a coach from Essex to Darlinton then walked to Barnard Castle in the rain, next was Low Force to Dufton, Dufton down to Appleby, onward to Keld via Kirkby Stephens then over to Richmond following the River Swale to see all the Waterfalls before catching a local bus back to Darlington for my overnigh coach trip back to Essex. I only wish I could still do those long distance Hike but Age finally caught up with me and the knees will no longer cope with the milage, still I have my memories and thank to the Younger Generation like yourself I get to revisit them through you Eyes. Thank You Tiny Pine for covering this Hike. With reference to you question about tree size on the East side of the Pennines that is all down to rainfall, as most of our UK Rain comes via the West to East most of it falls in the Lake District and Pennines, by the time it gets to the Yorkshire Moors there is very little rain left to drop.

Jennifer, again I was amazed by how calm I become watching this journey with you. Might I share when your walking your never really alone,HE is always at your side..😇🙏🏼, congrats on getting as far as ya have. 😇🇺🇸👍
I’m glad this brought you some peace, thank you again for the lovely words and for following along!♥️
I remember in my 20's going a year and a half without seeing my mum due to work. I was a right mums boy. I can still remember seeing her for the first time after that year and a half. That was 20 year ago. Sadly both my mum and dad died recently. I miss and think of them every single day. What you do is amazing. These hikes. But feel no shame in missing the ones you love the most. And spend as much time as you can with them, when you are with them. Time is such a precious gift.
♥️ I agree, and I love spending time with family & loved ones, and I try to as much as possible. Your comment was lovely & very warming, thank you ♥️
It must be a real challenge, the desire to walk solo mixed with the anxiety of camping alone / missing your family, so I'm not surprised you sometimes find it difficult, and being open about it does help the greater conversation about anxiety and depression, so thank you for being so honest in your videos.
I found that the challenge was more mental than physical at times. And thank you, that’s why I talk about it so openly, I want to encourage discussion & help erase the taboo on mental health topics 🙂
Loved that one Jennifer. Its one i must do before i get to old 😂. The scenery around Keld looks so much like where i am from (Derbyshire Dales) its beautiful around her. Anyway i await your next upload 👍
Oh you definitely should! It’s a massive undertaking but so, so worth it. And the Derbyshire Dales are lovely! I need to do more hiking around there. Where would you recommend?
@Orenjen there's to many to mention. Dovedale. Lathkill Dale. Loads and loads. Did you use a guide book on the coast to coast?? If so any recommendations??
@@peakyplodders I’ve heard Dovedale is wonderful, I’ll definitely go there. For this hike I used both the Hiiker app for the route as well as a Harvey’s Map, and Wainwrights pictorial guide. All came in handy! 😁
Bless you! It's is hard travelling on your lonesome. I quite enjoy it but I still get pangs of wanting to be around people when I've been on the trail so long x
Definitely, like I enjoy my own company but after a while I do feel lonely if i've been on the trail for a good few days. I'm also super talkative and think I just need people to talk to as it builds up in my head otherwise and drives me mad 😂 hence why I chat so much behind the camera 😂
Well I'm hoping to do the C2C this summer and I hope I get the weather you did it looked amazing :)
@@thefun-employedadventurer3011 have an amazing time, i'm sure you will! I definitely got lucky with the weather, despite starting the hike during a heatwave 😳
I always had the feeling that I had seen you before the day of our actual meeting. And now I understand why. We were at both The Fat Lamb and Keld Lodge on the same evening as you. I think I saw you at Keld Lodge!!! I'm so happy with your filming :)
Omg no way! Both of them? That’s such a coincidence! So glad I met you both & the others, was such lovely company!
If only AW had known what he had started. I used to suffer from Homesickness when I was young so I know the feeling well. What you need is a Cocker Spaniel they stick to you like glue and cheer you up when you are down they are so aware of your feelings they love the outdoors. This is another wonderfully shot episode, just enjoying this series so much. Apparently, the trees were all cleared by Neolithic farmers, and the land has been used for grazing since much of it is in private ownership and the use has never changed. Moss has taken hold and has probably created a hard pan which stops any trees from growing.
That’s a good idea! And yeah I just think it’ll help the Dales to thrive by re-wilding! It could be such a lovely area.
If you want trees come hiking over here (NZ). They put towers on some of the peaks of some hikes so you can go over the rainforest canopy and get a view.
Sounds great
Omg that sounds awesome! NZ is so high up on my list of countries to visit, it’s just so expensive to fly over there! One day I definitely will though. What areas for hiking/scenery would you recommend?
@@Orenjen If you want rainforest then the North island has a range of hills called the kaimais that I love. If you prefer mountains and glaciers the South Island has a several hundred km long range with a lot of hiking trails. If you want volcanos the central north island has what was used for Mordor in the lord of the rings. I did a four day hike around mt doom (real name ngaruahoe) at Easter last year.
I feel your pain about the flight cost. I love living here but we are far away from a lot of places I’d love to visit.
@@lemonflavouredquark oh amazing thank you! I feel like NZ has everything, I know you’re far from places like Europe but at least you’re spoilt for choice where you are!
Wow, this looks simply spectacular my friend! Outstanding filming as always!👏
Truly 👍
Many thanks!
Again thank for another and for taking us on this journey with you.
Glad to do it!😁
It's so nice to find someone who finds tussocky grassed moorland landscapes desolate, as I do, Jennifer - give me some features in a landscape and I'm happy - pastures, animals, trees 🤜
I wondered what that wonderful campsite was - Aragon Camping, Burn Banks 😊
Yes exactly! Love me some greenery & foliage 😁🌳
Not a video of yours if you don't see a sheep! Im hoping to catch you out at some point by not seeing a sheep in a video 😂. That sheep was a bit weird licking that tarmac though 🤔. Your also right about the dales it's not an interesting place at all is it!! Love the video and I can't wait for the next one 🙌.
Haha just wait until the next one, it's like the sheep are on something! 😂 Thank you for the lovely words!
@@Orenjen oh god, not more possessed sheep 🫣🤣.
So much to speak about. Again I admire your courage to carry on despite you really feeling highly emotional and feeling acutely homesick. I really hope you’ve given yourself the credit it deserves to actually carry on. And I love how you listen to your gut instincts and do what you feel rather than what might be the done thing at times. Very impressive. I think the stripes in the land that you said could be lettering is where someone has dug up peat which can be used to burn. Not 100% but it looks like it. And I’m afraid that some of the outbuildings you come across on the moors are for sinister purposes regarding lambs etc. I’ll say no more. And how thoughtful of the man to check to see if you needed water. I love that. Lastly how do I find out what the music is at the start of your videos, the piano tune ? I absolutely love it. Oh yeah one more thing. You are inspiring me to get out and go some hiking once the spring comes. Thanks and take care.
That’s all so lovely! Thank you. And thanks for letting me know about the peat, that’s interesting! (but those poor lambs 😭).
The music I use at the start of my videos in this series is called As I Dream by Johannes Bornlöf, I get all my music for these videos from Epidemic Sound & this one is my favourite!
All the best for your hikes in the Spring, I’m so glad this is inspiring you!✨
I missed that section too shap to Kirby Stephen
You skipped that section on your hike?
@@Orenjen yes I hurt myself as I was chased by cows into the stream just before shap abbey
@@DJVOutdoors oh god that sounds scary! At least I’m not the only one who skipped that section! I’ll complete that part one day. And it turns out a few other hikers I met on the trail completely skipped other sections I found brutal such as Lining Crag & Kidsty Pike! So I don’t feel too bad 😂
@@Orenjen you’ll have to do it all again and join me this summer 😂
What ever happened to the famous British stif upper lip!
anxiety 🧍🏻♀️
I always found it boring down there. It’s vast but Scotlands just a different animal. Albeit I’m a tad bias 😂
Haha the Dales just are a bit boring, that’s why I was going on about adding more trees 😂 Scotland is something else, it has the rugged wilderness with the vastness
@@Orenjen feel free to do as many Scottish trails as you can. The way you do your videos is different. I like the narrating. In Scotland we have Scotlands mountains. “Murray”. His videos are the best in Scotland.
@@summittaedae2323 I love Murray from Scotlands Mountains! I watch his videos all the time, he’s among my favourites. 😁 and I’m definitely planning on doing more Scottish trails this year! I have three in mind so far, and I hiked the Great Glen Way in September so those videos should be up in a few months I reckon 😁
@@summittaedae2323Murray @ScotlandsMountains does seem like a good bloke, although I'm not into hill bagging, so only watch occasionally.
Horses for courses. Emily Brontë would vehemently disagree.
The stripes on the hillside relate to Grouse shooting. Grouse feed and nest on the moors and need different ages of heather at different times. The landowners burn patches in the landscape to kill the heather and encourage new growth so the game bird populations stay high.
The lack of trees is caused by sheep farming. Sheep are destructive grazers and will use their small
mouths to cherry pick the tastiest shoots which means less diversity in terms of wild flowers, shrubs and even trees. Sheep grazing leads to monocultures, cattle and horse farming is better for diversity as they’re much less picky eaters (due to the size of their mouths
The Dales, like the lakes, is a working environment but like you I think some rewilding and more sensitive land management would be good. Grouse shooting is a blot on the landscape
Thank you for letting me know! Though that’s awful, a reminder that humans can be cruel. I despise hunting for sport.
And that’s interesting about the sheep! Though the Dales could definitely use with rewinding, it’ll be incredibly beneficial to the environment & ecosystem, not to mention it’ll look prettier!
