Liam has made a whole load of videos, in the UK and Europe. They are worth watching.
Hi Connor, have you ever thought of doing something like this in Rhode Island? As one of your subscribers I'd love to see some of the wilder places of your homeland 😊
Cool idea!
He's not wrong when saying the North Yorkshire Moors can be bleak at times. The best time to visit is in August when all that brown dead looking Heather is in full flower, creating a purple carpet for as far as the eye can see turning the landscape from one of the bleakest in the country to one of the most colourful.
Derbyshire and the Peak District is much the same. It goes from looking like no life could survive there to absolutely stunning beauty as the seasons change.
We have the "Right To Roam" in the UK (each country is slightly different),for example you can walk across farmers fields on public footpaths. So it's not that hard to plan a cross-country route.
Yep, those pathways are heritage sites so the farmers are expected to maintain them and are not permitted to restrict access to them. They lie somewhere between private and public land, as id the weird limbo nuances of literally millennia old history.
Scotland has it WAY better. We have much to fight for.
England belongs to 'us' Not the King but the English people.
@@davidwatts-hw2dh I mean yeah, but we belong to the king, and simultaneously he works for us.
@@rexex345 And this right here is the reason why democracy doesn't work.
My home, I live in Keswick. You can keep London, this is England's jewel.
Connor you should look into the cotswolds way , it's roughly 110 miles . stunning scenery and those little villages you love . 😊
I love Yorkshire. I’ve spent much of my life there being in the army. I have walked and ran many many miles.
That guy has such a lovely, calming way about him. Great video!
I have done this twice - first time West to East then two yrs later I did it again from East to West. Fantastically relaxing in good weather, horrible if it rains every day.
I did the W2E Sep 22 and I'm planning a E2W crossing, possibly next year. Living only 4 miles from St Bees - I can walk back to my house after.
God mad the Earth in six days, on the seventh he built his garden and called it Yorkshire.
You should check out Geowizard's straight line missions, where he attempts to cross whole countries in the straightest line possible wherever that takes him. Farmland, factories or gardens are all fair game.
Second this!
The Coast to Coast walk was first described by Wainwright in what was the first guide to what became the official coast to coast walk from St Bees Head to Robin Hood Bay. My friend and I walked it the year in which the Wainwright guide was first published - 1970 or 71. It was not waymarked on the ground and we needed to rely on both map and compass and the wonderful narrative and sketches of Wainwright's guide.
The downside was that the farmers along much of the route were not keen on the idea of a long-distance walk through, or even close to, their land. They prevented us accessing the direct route and also denied us access to water.
It has become a much easier task, and a joy to undertake these days.
It is a good idea to use trekking poles, it takes as much as 30% of the strain off the knees - especially on the downhill sections!
He's wearing a waterproof jacket, a fleece is a fuzzy polyester jacket. A jumper is a sweater.
A proper Fleece should be made from sheep , hence the name.
Stop being pricks!
You can still find the odd dead sheep in a stream uphill from your drinking point. It's a good idea to filter the water before drinking it!
Liam is a great film maker. He is such a genuine guy, really makes you feel the journey with him, and the films are beautifully made. You really should watch more of his stuff. I find they are great to watch in the evening, helps you wind down, its all so calm.
What you said about "throwing your legs in front of you" actually made me quite nostalgic for epic walks.
Liam's videos are great... Such a relaxing watch.
Cataractonium is Catterick in North Yorkshire.I live there,its the Old Roman name.And lots of Roman/Saxon archeology….And its North aller tun…..Northallerton.
I grew up in Northallerton, it’s the County town of North Yorkshire. A settlement from Roman times it has a vast history, declared a market town in 1200 (twice weekly markets still held along the high street), an Anglo Saxon church (probably older) and important military defence against the Scots (Battle of Standard). I’m biased but it’s a great place!
I use podcasts that i've listenend to hundreds of times. It makes me fall asleep.
Conor, do a Pennine way video. That is endurance. At least the cost to coast ends at Robin Hoods Bay, one of the most beautiful places in Britain. You get a certificate from the pub in the background when you complete it
Try Southern Ireland...the beauty is astounding..the wildness amazing...and that coast....wow !!...the people are so friendly...it really is a special part of the world
I love Robin Hoods Bay I remember going there when I went to Whitby years ago it’s so picturesque.
Walked the route Sep 22 and planning to walk back the other way next summer - as I only live 4 miles from St Bees (where Liam started the walk) I can walk back home afterwards.
I can't sleep without rain noise playing on an Alexa app. The "tent" one seems to work best, although "rain forest" is pretty good.
The Yorkshire moors are pretty harsh when the weather isn’t great. Wuthering Heights was set there, so pretty grim in history too 😂
I’m in North Yorkshire, it’s beautiful here 😊
we won't get shot by going out of bounds, but there are loads and loads of places we can go without any problems.
If it goes quick it's entertaining, I didn't get bored watching with you 👍🏴
He's wearing a jacket/anorak a fleece would be made from fleece - it might be fleece lined though
Ha ha I'm from Yorkshire I live in Whitby just up the coast from Robin Hoods Bay - wouldn't fancy traipsing along the moors though 🤦
There is a bus from RHB it takes about 20 minutes to Whitby 🚍
I am lucky to live in the beautiful Cotswold Hills but I fell for Yorkshire big time when I travelled there. I do like the bleakness and being a fan of the Gothic novels you have the Bronte sisters, and in Whitby there is part of the setting for Dracula and its author Bram Stoker.
Have you read ‘A Walk in the Woods’ by Bill Bryson? That’s about him hiking (part of) the Appalachian Trail. Great writer, and honorary Yorkshireman.
That was lovely Connor, thank you. There may be vidoes of the Pilgrim's Way that goes to Canterbury through Kent, I haven't seen any but worth a look.
Whitby , say hello to Dracula, he's a bit of a night owl though !
I will be in Trenchers Restaurant in Whitby on Friday having my Haddock and Chips with mushy peas and their home made tartare sauce......MAGIC!
Should try ‘winter walks’ which is a BBC series with actors/politicians etc basically walking in the countryside (yep, in winter!) and just talking about ‘stuff’ … sounds like it would be boring but it’s strangely soothing and interesting
as he mentioned robin hood...1543 Henry Wincell sheriff of nottingham...one of my ancestors.
His channel is really excellent, think my favourite was his trek through the Outer Hebrides.
Love that channel, he’s done some epic challenges.
Next you need to check out the hardest geezer, as he attempts to be the fast man to run the length of Africa…he’s done something like 208 marathons in 212 days
I believe they advise you to walk down stream about a hundred or so checking the water before drinking it.
End of August start of Sept best time to do this. I dont fancy this in spring it can snap back to late winter real quick.
The water in those streams is sweet and pure. There I a sport called fell running in which people do run up those hills.
Looks like he dropped very lucky with the weather. The Yorkshire moors are very exposed and it can turn nasty quite quickly.
I really loved this, Connor. Great reaction.
At the timestamp 19:04 on the video is the real site of a Tumulas that is supposed to be the site of Robin Hoods Grave as marked on the OS Map and included in the Coast to Coast Pictural Guide Book. I know as I have stopped there twice on both of my Coast to Coast Hikes. Also if you can hike 15 to 18 miles a day the whole Coast to Coast would only take two weeks. Tony in Essex. PS If you are serious about taking this hike on sometime the best time to do it is the middle of Summer so you have the longest daylight hours. As most USA to UK Flight land near London you could either catch the train to St Bees or the Coach to Carlisle then the train to St Bees. You could camp along the way or pre book Bed and Breakfast stops along the route. Tony in Essex.
You should watch a video about The Norfolk Broads, it's basically the Everglades, in the East of England, and you won't get munched by an Alligator.
I love this video, seen it a few times now. Such beautiful scenery in our wonderful national parks. Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, he was filtering the water he got from streams. You could see the first time he did it. You're right about not drinking water where there are sheep, there's a thing called liver fluke that transfers via sheep, water, to humans via parasitic worm transfer. Eewww!
Liam has a stack of videos, from around Europe too. He covers all the National Parks in Britain, including North Wales, where i’m from.
I would recommend some of the BBC videos on Alfred Wainwright
Enjoyed watching you enjoy watching it!
Conner there is also a coast to coast cycle route if you dont fancy walking both lovely scenery.
You were right the first time, Northallerton is pronounced 'North-al-er-ton'.
North York Moors is just on the edge of where I live, I walk them most weekends (I hate driving, so having them right on my doorstep is perfect).
Absolutely amazing walks around there. Tad biased but they're the most beautiful moors/hills etc I've seen.
We also have the Cleveland Way in the north east too. About 110miles - I've probably done about 50miles of it, and have met many an American also walking it!
I love all the scenery up north especially Yorkshire and I'm from Kent in the south you should be proud of your area its stunning
@@claregale9011Thanks! I come from an absolute dump of a town, so driving the 10mins it takes to just step onto the moors is one of the best feelings in the world.
If you've walked the white cliffs - are they as stunning in real life as they are in pictures?
@@04williamsl yes I've been to the White cliffs of Dover it was OK but I do prefer green rolling hills and pretty villages which we do have down here to 🙂
He's wearing an Anorak 👌
Ennerdale is gorgeous, last time I was there the area was flooded but if anything it made it even more beautiful.
You may know this but here in the UK we get a variance in stone colours with houses traditionally built from local stone, so Cotswolds, up to the Dark peak it changes colour yellow tone to pink, to light grey, to dark grey it is different every twenty miles in some areas.
Me an my bro, Swam and drank this water. Tasted so clean... Till we went up stream??....A DEAD RAM.
I have just moved to within 10 miles of where he spent the first night at Ennerdale Water - western Cumbria between the Lake District and the sea is an interesting place to be. I went to school in Lancaster (south of the Lakes) and could see the Lake District hills across Morecambe Bay, so the north-west of England (beyond Preston and Blackburn) is special to me. Elsewhere, the Pennine Way he crossed is the original official long distance walking route set up in England (just reaching into Scotland). That would be worth checking out. In Scotland the West Highland Way is very popular.
Every time I see UK countryside I can't help but remember Straight line mission videos by Geowizard. Worth checking out!
Been subbed to this guy for a while. Has some great videos. Really makes me want to get back into rambling.
I think the jacket as you call it ,is an Anorak
When I was 17 ( long long time ago lol) I did the Lyke Wake walk over the north york moors...42 miles in total. You have to complete in 24 hours to get a badge shaped like a black coffin! Think I did it in 18 hours...but like I said, it was a long time ago 😅. I'm now 65.
I live on the coast to coast in swaledale. If you’re gonna do it do it in the summer. I’ve seen people doing it in the wind and rain and it can get wild up on the tops. Does look fun
I've been to Robin Hood's Bay and the thing that struck me there was the coastal erosion, as you can see where the cliffs were, in the distant past, at low tide. Nice pub there too!
The great thing about Liam is that he had no fancy sponsors and is just wearing his Karrimor gear. I remember him getting interviewed on TV about his walk. Most of it is across National Parks, so they are owned by The People. Public Footpaths exist everywhere and farmers are not allowed to restrict access to these, even if they pass across their land.
If you collect enough stones from those walls, you can build a house! 😂
My cousin lives in Northallerton (North Allerton).
16:00 The Uk has "the Right to Roam" meaning you're allowed to cross privately owned land such as farmer's fields (with the exception of cropland, private gardens, golf courses, railway land and a few other things) you're not really allowed to camp without permission but it's fairly common anyway.
In England, you can only walk on marked rights of way (shown on maps) from which you are not supposed to deviate except if you are on so-called access land.
I nearly always play ambient sounds when going to sleep, except snow storm ones as it makes me feel cold. I really enjoyed this video and reaction. I must do this walk (or part of it) one day. So should you !
The UK is full of paths that are available, even where they cross private land. Wild camping is not a right, but most landowners will let you unless you damage something.
its the camping you cant usually do on farmers lands even if you can walk on the public pathway. Camping stricter
Northallerton is near me and pronounced North Allerton. The All part said like the mans name Al (alan)
BALDRICK from blackadder did the C2C for BBC2 I live 5 minutes away from st bees
If you want to know about barrows, look for videos about West Kennet Long Barrow. Barrows are ancient burial sites.
No worries about dangerous animals and insects just lovely views of the British countryside 😊
Connor you should give off day adventures a watch a terrific little series following two lovely Americans doing the cotswolds way
He's wearing a kagool, a lightweight, wind resistant jacket with a hood 😊
i've never done this walk as i like walking coast paths/ there is a walk i've done many times which is 630 miles/ the south west coast path
That place name you could not pronounce is when broken down North aller ton, just a few miles from where i live.
North-allerton. Had a knee op at the military hospital there, lol
North-aller-ton, or Nthallertn, as they say up there.
Ennerdale is the most peacefull of the lakes because of the lack of a near by road.
Liam is I think a pretty tough lad, and an ex-squaddie.
Although he did it rather quickly, he seems to be filtering his water. This is usually done, because of the danger of liver fluke from the sheep.
There is intense debate about whether Robin Hood was a real person. One possibility is that he was, but ''Robin Hood' seems to also have been a generic name for an English outlaw.
His comments about Yorkshire should be taken with a pinch of salt. I've read that Liam comes from Warrington on the western side of the Pennines, and his accent certainly fits that. The two sides of the Pennines have a lot of rivalry!
There are times when the countryside is even more beautiful. The trees weren't fully out, and - as another commenter has said - the heather turns purple in autumn.
These trails - there are so many of them - may need a bit of negotiating concerning minor gaps, but the vast number of public Rights of Way make such trails relatively easy to create. Scotland has no law of trespass at all, and even in England and Wales certain high and wild areas are now designated as areas with a 'Right to Roam'.The big debate at the moment is over wild camping. In most of England and Wales there isn't an automatic right to this, the landowner's permission being required.
My grandfather owned a house in Robin Hood's Bay, a beautiful village which used to be a smugglers' headquarters. My mother often visited, and I've been there.
That jacket is called a kagoul.
Yes. Pineapple is great on Pizza.
Debieras ver alguna caminata del Camino de Santiago, Saint James, en España 900km. Película también.... The Way con Martin Sheen.😊
So long as the mountain streams are fast flowing there is little risk of any nasty bugs making it to your insides.
If there's a dead sheep in the water higher up you could have a problem. But he had a water filter. It showed him using it early in the video. I always take a filter with me when I'm walking in the lake district after becoming dehydrated and needing to drink from a stream a few years ago.
Hiking seems big in Britain. But do this while you are still young!
Its a great walk but personally I would choose the 'Pennine way'
As an Englishman I wonder how many of our people have visited these places .. or have the money to do so! I love the Highlands of Scotland and the western isles
That was so enjoyable :-)
NORTHALLERTON. You kept missing out the third syllable.
Many of the farm houses in the north of England are made from stone from Hadrians wall
Research the UA-cam vids on the Camino de Santiago ...
You asked the question how do you sleep, On my right hand side left knee just above my right knee and every now and then i play 3 hours of relaxing rain in jurassic park which has dinstant sounds of dinosaurs and distant thunder noises for 3 odd hours on repeat.....I'm well aware i am very odd....makes me sleep though and isint loud 👍
Good video 👍 May I suggest you check out Off Day Adventures channel, a couple of lovely Americans who walked the Cotswold Way this year in 9 days. Think you'll enjoy it.
Sleep? Cool room, very dark, feotal position, Connor's latest rant in my ears
Magnificent
North - Aller - Ton. North - Allerton. Northallerton 😊
it's a windbreaker
I follow Liam and he makes some excellent videos, I highly recommend you watch some more of his content and I am sure you will not be disappointed.
As you can see Connor England is totally overcrowded everywhere. In Scotland it's even worse!
Grew up not far from St Bees, the neighbouring town Whitehaven was invaded by John Paul Jones during your war for independence
Not many people realise how vicious and dangerous sheep are. They are the apex predator in the UK.
Dude - you really need to get over to the UK, seems like you're ready.
