Coast to Coast: Solo Hiking Across the Country - Day 14 (4K)
Join me on Patreon! www.patreon.com/TinyPineOutdoors
Day 14 of solo hiking the Coast to Coast, the final day! As arranged the previous night by Callum at Blakey Ridge, I was picked up by a lovely couple who took me down into Glaisdale. I chose to do this for a couple reasons, being time & having my devices charged, a safety precaution I won't compromise.
If I had continued on from Blakey ridge into Glaisdale the previous night, my devices would've been completely out of charge and I didn't have a plan for anywhere to stay once there, so I likely wouldn't have been able to have charge the following day.
As I said, as a solo female hiker, communication is a must & I'm not an idiot so I wouldn't go anywhere without a charged phone, never mind the middle of nowhere.
So, with that along with needing to communicate with Cameron when & where I was to be picked up from the following day, I was offered to charge my devices & have a place to camp (for £3!) as WELL as a lift into Glaisdale the next day! How could I say no? I totally appreciate the kindness of strangers, and this was demonstrated to my throughout my hike. There's nothing quite like good hiker etiquette.
So, once in Glaisdale, I set off towards RHB. I stopped for some cake & a coffee at a little stop off the side of the path, which was awesome. I hiked through woodland & cute villages such as Egton Bridge & Grosmont. Following the steep, steeeep climb out of Grosmont, I chatted to a couple of elderly hikers who gave me encouragement & a nice break for a couple minutes, my legs needed it!
Once up high & on the flat moor plane, I chat to you guys about the highs & lows of this journey, from breaking down in tears to genuinely having the time of my life in the most astonishing places in the country.
I make it to RHB with Cameron as we hiked the last mile together, stopping for some chips on the way (a place he'd actually been to years previous!) and threw my little pebble into the North Sea as per tradition. And my feet definitely got wet too! I like to think it was the sea congratulating me. :D
The final five minutes is a reflection on the hike over the past two weeks, which I hope you guys enjoy!
So, now my C2C journey has come to an end, my next video in a few weeks will actually be a FULL length movie-version of the C2C. Basically all the day-to-day videos in one, 8 hour long film!
Following this I have so much more to put out to you guys... day hikes, long distance trails (such as the Great Glen Way!), travels & trips abroad, camping trips both alone & with others and so much more.
Thank you to everyone watching, I appreciate each and every one of you!

Just binge watched these. Really enjoyable series. Great that you are so open about the impact emotionally and mentally these solo journeys can have. Well done for finishing. A real inspiration.
This must be the best set of vid logs I have ever watched by far. Many many thanks for letting us come with ya on this epic adventure. Congratulations on finishing and will look forward to watching your past and future trails. This has made me plan my own adventure in your footsteps.

I stumbled across your channel and its C2C vlogs - and binge watched the entire hike. I'm pleased to finally see the last piece of the jigsaw, but also a little sad it's coming to it's end. Cheers. The camera work and narration has been excellent btw. 👍👍

Thank you how lovely! I’m so, so glad you enjoyed the series, and thank you so much for such kind words ♥️
A few more hours to wait until you finally get to RHB, its been nice recapping my own trips across the country on the C2C, first the West to East Coasts then a reverse route East to West a few years after my Original HIke, both of them were interesting, but at least on the East to West crossing I knew what was coming. Tony in Essex.
Whoop!! Congratulations Jennifer, cinematography & editing doing justice to a wonderful trail, thank you 🙏 😮 I didn't know about forget-me-nots colours, that's a clever system Mentally I find that I break down when I'm relaxed, some time after stress or trauma - it's like there's an imperative to keep functioning at a basic level at the time, but after I've got through it, the healing starts and breaking down is a positive part of that. Perhaps that's how humans are programmed 🤔

So glad you liked it, thank you for the kind words 😄 and yeah it’s interesting how the brain can compartmentalise like that, and then when you’ve processed it, it all just comes out 😂
Congratulations in making to the end 🙌 you had your downs but you definitely had more ups you should be proud of your self 😁 Ive loved the whole series 😍. You ended the video and series the best way possible you put so much effort in this and every video you make and it shows, I look forward to more of your content. 🙌

Hiya, Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey and your thoughts. I really enjoyed the whole content, and it's given me the impetus, and possibly stupid idea that I now wish to tackle 'your' route, after your guidance, I'm now starting to plan for an autumnal hike in 2025... I wish you all the best for your future endeavors, and look forward to more

Congratulations Jennifer! I've so enjoyed watching this hike, all the sights and sounds. I'm sad to see it come to an end, but really happy for you at the same time. Well done! I'm wondering if a Cape Wrath trek is in your future? That would be awesome.

When walking on road. Go the s Side where the traffic is coming towards you it's safer you can see it coming. Great videos take care 😊
@Orenjen

Thank you for the advice, honestly I’ve always wondered which side is safer… many people have said walk in direction of the traffic (left) and others said they were taught on the D of E to walk against traffic (right) so I never knew which was correct 😂 (I never did the D of E unfortunately as I had tonsillitis when my year group did it 😭)
Well done , a fantastic achievement. I start my C2C in less than a month so this has given such great insights...

I've been watching this through the Winter of early 2024 and it has been a wonderfully uplifting series of videos during the dark nights. I am happy that you have posted the final part and it's great to know you made it to the end of the Coast to Coast. The titles and end sequence were quite wonderful but made me a bit sad that it was over. Many thanks for posting and good luck if you get out again this year.

I’m so, so glad that they helped you through this dreary winter, I honestly think going through & putting the footage together helped me too. Though at times it was painful to see beautiful blue skies & warm sun on days with bitterly cold wind & rain 😂 So happy you enjoyed my videos, and I’m sad it’s over too! But much more to come, like the Great Glen Way which will be put out as a series similar to this (though 5 days instead of 14)
Thanks!
