The Way of the Dead - is this Dartmoors Most Haunted hiking route? 👻 Tales from the Trail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Last month, Josh and I hit up the Lych Way on Dartmoor. This is otherwise known as the "corpse way" , or "the way of the dead", as people would walk for miles through this open moorland carrying coffins to their final resting place at Lydford Church.

You're bloody brilliant!
I love walking, camping, motorhoming, exploring the hills; I don’t do the history of the area as well as you, thanks Muddy (Beca) 😊👍🏽♥️⛺️
Hey you. Nice to see you again for another great vid. Legend for carrying that sack. It’s almost as big as you. Josh’s clothes look heavier than your whole kit! Glad you both enjoyed it and see you on the next one. Stay safe!
Nice happy video. I see the tent is at tied to the bottom of the pack, I always attach it to the top of the pack, this makes it easier to carry and it's not banging against the legs. Packed correctly it will be less strain on the body. ATB Cheers from the mountains of NZ 😀😀
Yeah I tend to Have mine on the side so it's the last thing to pack. I think his bag was just more bushcraft than hiking, but he's looking at getting a different set up
I love that head scarf it looks well trendy
Keeps my ears warm in the wind 🤣🤙
Great stuff Beca. 👍
Cheers guys xx
This is a great video and I enjoyed watching it very much.Thanks a lot.

Haha I waited for it to finish checking before publishing this time 🤣
Absolute legend muddy bootlaces carrying that pack .. 👏
I did winter solstice in Seaton Ross last year its steeped in Viking history
Woke up at 4am to a full blown conversation by two women..I was miles away from anything
No way?! Mate I've had that before too, sleeping in a stone circle, wind got mental on a hike and weirdly that circle had very little wind asked permission to whatever was around, and slept soundly but woke throughout the night hearing people talk x
@@muddy_bootlaces yep it's weird but I kind of like it?? Hasn't put me off....yet!
Wow what a cool watch cheers for sharing muddy boots
Yewww 🤙 cheers freddy
Great ❤❤❤
What absolute legends you both are a total honour to know you both and to hang around with the pair of you totally blown away with how much you are two totally top geezers sending all my love from lancashire to you both absolutely blown away thank you josh and becs gushing slighty 🥰😘😀👍👏🤛
Happy Christmas to you 💗👍👍⛄
Wow, truly spectacular place my friend. Cinematography is amazing here, you presented this fantastically!
Awww thanks mate! Appreciate it 🤙
Fantastic as always Beca, grew up around Dartmoor and this makes me want to go back so much. Cheers mate x
Awww thanks dude, it's such a lush place you really should.. I mean I am biased, but ❤️
@@muddy_bootlaces Always welcome mate, appreciate you taking the time to message me earlier too! And I look forward to planning a dartmoor trip soon, its been so long! so I'll deffo be back :)
Josh is a funny guy! I love how calm and composed he was at the start of the video, but looks just like every other hiker trying to stuff some food down in the morning
Great video, a note on deer tracks, known as slots, they are less rounded than sheep. Fabulous scenery. Josh is cool.
Oooh good to know, josh is such a good egg isn't he!
I will never be able to pass a tor without booping it now 😂. Brilliant video, looked like lots of (creepy) fun!
Hehe always gotta boop it! Hope you don't get any freaky happenings when you wlak that way x
@@muddy_bootlaces I'm one of those weirdos that always hopes to hear/see something, so it never happens. I just massively tempted fate didn't I?! 😂
Rather you than me haha
Loved this one... Especially since you both passed through what I call my library... Wistsmans Wood... Brilliant content definitely my cup of tea...... You be a breath of fresh air..... Looking forward for more adventures to come......
I love your videos. Your beautiful accent makes me hang on every word!
24:17 it’s a Military firing range! The bit you’re stood by is a troop shelter (to keep soldiers waiting to fire dry and warm), and the bit down the way with a big sand berm is the ‘butts’ of the range, where targets would be raised and lowered in front of (The sand berm is to catch bullets!)
Thanks for this! !
@@muddy_bootlaces no problem. Keep up the videos, they’re great 👍
I kept thinking you where saying bugger tor Also you’ve got to be the most smiley person ever great vid
Munro’s in the highlands!
I love this.
I'm really interested in hiking, bushcraft and wild camps on alsorts of trails.
Then you put in a haunted hike. Omg this is like gold. Your the first I've watched that has done something like this. Thankyou.
Ahh thanks dude! It's a proper lush little hike! Glad you liked following along xx
Nice one! Cheers for the info as well, the grave route sounds pretty creepy!
Cheers dude, wish I got some of the weird stuff in camera tbh, but I was just freaking out haha
I lived on Dartmoor and there are so many amazing places to explore. I have seen the white lady and seeing this video I will explore the moor again very soon. Thank you for the amazing video xx
Hello you bootiful people. Sunny adventures, foraging, phallic mushrooms, doggies and potential ghosts 👌🏻
Haha phallic mushrooms 😂😂 you always make me crack up mate
@@muddy_bootlaces if we got nothing else, we can always laugh out socks off
Ahh Beca that looked like a fun hike to do. Top lad is Josh also met him at the Bushcraft Show.
Hope your all well and staying safe.
Keep up the great videos x
Great channel 👍
The carbon filter is a great idea in the lower lands, but there is little need on the moor.
I mix and match on the moor, a little wool is a good idea it'll keep you warm even when wet when synthetics just hang limp and useless. You really lucked out with the weather, I had snow on Halloween when I did it a couple of years ago. Love the snippets of history you added, Dartmoor is so much more than grass and tors (as is Bodmin) and I always throw a little in if I can. Cracking little video, if you want a further, though shorter challenge, do the Marilyn's ( a play on the Monroe's of Scotland) Cornwall has 5, Devon just the 1....Kernow wins that one 🤣Kernow bys vyken.
Hahaha kernow always wins 😜 totally going to look into a carbon filter just makes sense with the water up there. Cheers for watching dude 🤙
Have a look at a Grayl water filter. It filters out everything that the sawyer and platapus combo do. Filter is really fast, and it's also a waterbottle.
Fair play gal😊😊😊
Cheers buddy x
Hey Muddy Bootlaces , I continue to really love your work, thank you. What I also really love is your accent and the cool places you go.! If you are available please join us for our Premier of "Plastic Wrap Hammock" which Premiers WEDS at 9PM GMT. Thanks TTYL.
This is a wonderful video, currently researching and prepping a video about the lych way. Grew up in Plymouth though my family now live just on he other side of the Tamar Valley and this weird little project ive started has made me a bit homesick.
Aww dude I hope you get to do it one day x
Such a great video, especially when you could have unexpected guests. I love watching your videos, you have such an absolutely adorable bubbly personality. I can't get enough of it. Keep these videos coming. Take care and stay safe.
Awww Thanks Jay! It was such a lush route! Thanks for watching 🤙
10k views in 3 weeks........! ! What am I doing wrong.....gonna get me a pink head band to hold back my hair !! Haha ! Top vid Beca enjoyed that !
Great Video. Full of interesting content and good banter. The area looks amazing. Josh seems a chilled bloke. I’ve followed him on Instagram. Looking forward to your future videos. Keep Up the good work.
Ah josh is a little ledgend, very knowledable too. Thanks for watching 🤙
Your amazing
Please carry on doing what your doing
Aw thanks pail 🤙
Paul!! Omg what an autocorrect 😂😂
great video guys, must have a stroll around there some time. I’m from Northern Ireland and checking out more northern and midland areas at the moment but going to travel further south in time - Happy travelling - subscribed and liked
Another vid so soon love it 😁 can't watch now as signal is crappy where I am in Redruth but will defo watch later.
Awww cheers dude!! This one's a little different to the others because I've tried to a voiceover.. I know... Busting out these technical skills 😂 hope you like it mate x
It's funny how I accidentally found this video just straight after watching the film The Ritual haha
🤣🤣
Many years ago we used to walk the Lychway in winter and night starting from Widecombe (Old Inn) or at Lydford from the Castle Inn. It's a wonderful night walk and such a great route across the open moor. Looking forward to seeing more Tor bagging (happy to join you if you want company).
It's such a cool route isn't it. Although not sure I'd want to walk it at night lol
So much great stuff along that route - thanks for sharing! I recently filmed a little Halloween explore of Wistmans Wood, which wasn't without event... though I think I'm a little more sceptical than yourself!
Ohhh did anything happen? I find it can be either really creepy or really still there x
@@muddy_bootlaces It was lovely and still... but my recorder picked up the sound of a little (ghost?) dog barking in the middle of the night that I didn't hear until I came to edit the footage together 😱. All on my silly, whimsical little channel if you're interested!
Dudeeee that sounds creepy
Your channel is better.
Nice Vid and how spooky 👻👻
Just subbed you.
Atb Graham
Yeah it proper creepy that evening!
Great idea to add the carbon filter for pesticides
Yesss I need to do this!
The kindness of strangers, surprising, Three of the videos I’ve watched today, two on bicycle touring, that total strangers have given food to travellers, one of these a huge meal was given, this was in the Balkan’s, the elderly couple insisted the couple cycling had lunch because the next town was 45k’s away, they couldn’t speak English, gives you faith in humans
People are so lovely aren't they. We are constantly told about how mean and cruel we are, but most of the people out there are incredibly beautiful souls thanks for watching x
This is another great vlog Becca. Lovecthe additional commentary Scary walk there, rather you than me🤣🤣
Awww thanks dude, I wasn't too sure how well the voice overs would work but glad it added to the video for you xx
I often walk to the powder mills as I live on Dartmoor and it’s great. Happy you’ve posted another video on the moors.
Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Surprised it was your first lot of tors. Hope you had a good time
Heyyy ah it was my first tor on the challenge, I've probably already bagged 80+ naturally just from kicking around up there x
@@muddy_bootlaces ah ok I thought that was strange
Munros and Corberts are in Scotland
I Say Beca and Josh Old Chaps! What a splendid transmission on the wireless! Great to see you out behind enemy lines together and it was only last weekend we saw your delightful faces. Jolly good haunted walk there and rations for the troops. That lady! The kindness, bless her ♨️🙏💪 I Say Bravo
Interesting video, thanks Beca.
I wonder why there were so few churches ?
😱 that skull fungus!
Perhaps leave a sound recorder on all night and use a wildlife or Ring doorbell camera to detect anything weird next time ?
Is there any evidence of locals faking ghostly behaviour to scare the tourists, I wonder ? 🤔
My father saw a ghostly coach and horses (iirc) when driving one night near Sampford Spiney. He was an engineer so wasn't given to mysticism/spiritualism.
Great video miss muddy, always giving off the feel good factor, the poor old ghosts could of laughed themselves back to life again watching you're antics. It was interesting to see the two extremes of gear with one being hiking and the other being bushcraft, just goes to show the differences though mine is sort of inbetween. Anyways, keep taking the laughing gas and enjoy 👍⭐
Aw cheers Andy. Yeah it was really interesting having chats with josh about the different kit. I think we both learned a lot! Cheers for watching x
hate to point out but in the video you enter wistmans wood which unfortunately is out of bounds due to the SSI that is in place there had been signs up around the outside edge of the wood the SSI has been in place for many years.
Man your happiness is infectious, I can’t help smiling all the way through. Keep it up you gorgeous Cornish Piskey ❤
Awww cheers dude, life's better with a giggle x
so your secret stone heads too :)
How on earth do you know Josh?
Can't believe he is now a UA-cam star.
Good to see you both out there having a great time.
Have you bagged Glastonbury Tor?
What's temperature there? It's 75 degrees Fahrenheit here in Boston. Another great video. Great history in England.
it be mushroom season oooh arrrr
Yeaaa boi
Thoroughly enjoyed that you 2. Well pleased you two got to link up together! Xx
Ah cheers buddy, I'll get you along on one soon x
Great video ,the scenery was amazing, I thought you guys were going to camp in the haunted woods ,maybe next time, I liked the story about the people carrying a coffin all the way to the church. ⛺🎃👻🎃
I really wanted too, but it's not part of the legal wildcamp area. And as much as I'm happy to wildcamp in non-legal areas elsewhere, I feel so lucky to have such a wide area of public permission land on my doorstep I don't want to be part of the reason they stop it 😅
What a ray of sunshine! Thanks for the vicarious adventure :-)
Nice video :) Would you reccomend the Hubba Hubba NX? Looking to get a lightweight 3 season tent but have read some reviews of people having issues with the poles & struggling to get replacement parts
Nice brown hiking boots and nice purple hiking boots!! That brand are both?
Mine are by Merrell, no idea who's joshes are by though, sorry mate x
What camera did you record this on? It has great image quality. Even with the bright sunlight coming through the woods, the dynamic range handled it perfectly. Great video btw 😀
Awww thanks dude, it's just my phone, Huawei p40 Pro, I then edit it in a free app called youcut ❤️
@@muddy_bootlaces oh damn! I wasn't expecting you to say a phone 😲 I keep hearing great things about that one though
I'm taking the gf and the kids wild camping down Dartmoor this year
A what machine carrying across the river?!!
😂😂😂
@@muddy_bootlaces love your stuff,so funny and you loving life.
Awesome vid matey 😊 stunning scenery of Dartmoor as usual ❤. Is the route easy to find? Would love to do it myself or with a mate so my imagination doesn’t freak me out 😂. Some footage of strange goings-on would be great. Would love to do some tor bagging too. You’re looking good with the military green pack 😊 completely smashing it with the extra size & weight. Most of my kit is my old issue military kit with a few new purchases. Not lightweight but bombproof. Thanks for sharing your experiences, so inspirational 😊
Hey, yeah I didn't really have an idea of what to film when I got the footage a few weeks ago, so I probably should have made it a little more creepy and entertaining lol, but the shotgun was enough to creep me out 🤣 the path is mostly easy, it disappears in parts but you can link it up x
You are to cute x and you eat some cool stuff x
I do love my food 🤙
@@muddy_bootlaces so do I lol x
So glad to watch a UTube by a vegan😀
12:23 did you say, "Go away." Whispering to the microphone...?
Next time you see strange orbs or hear strange sounds see if you can record them.
Yeah I probbaly should have, just didn't think at the time. The sound didn't happened again, so I drifted off back to sleep, but I should have tried a little longer to grab an orb x
Great content guys liking it, the dog looked like he or she was living life… next time get the lovely generous people on camera tell them it’s inspiring for your viewers :-)
Awww she was loving it. Proper knackered by the end though
I'm one of the ghost 😂
🤣🤣
Love Dartmoor it’s as if your going back 200 year’s +.my favourite Tor is the vixen.someone wrote a book about a wee adventure I went on once called ‘the dream of vixen tor’.where I’m the 3 characters in it, the coachman the ranger and the waif.there’s a stunning perfectly formed doorway at the bottom of the vixen tor.but I was informed it was only really meant for women to go in.oh and Munro’s are in Scotland 🙏❤️✊
Oops, cheers for the heads up about munroes lol. I've never made it over to vixen tor, tried to once but got caught out by a huge river then private land
Try eliminating the onions and garlic for dinner and Josh might hit on you and you both could sleep in the same tent or sleeping bag
Haha we are just friends so the garlic is staying lol
