Coast to Coast: Solo Hiking Across the Country - Day 9 (4K)

Join me on Patreon! www.patreon.com/TinyPineOutdoors
Day 9 of solo hiking the Coast to Coast, I left the Keld Lodge after a wonderful breakfast, and the super helpful staff there had offered to transport my bag to Grinton Lodge (my destination for the day) for free! It was such a massive help and really made a difference to my pace & energy. After all, 17kg on your back cross country up & down fells is... tough.
This was one of, if not my favourite days on the trail. Beautiful Swaledale truly captured me as the late May sun doused the landscape in golds & greens, I was enthralled.
Look out for the countless sheep as they approach me, watch me, follow me and even chase me! The energy I had on this day was unmatched; both mental and physical. I was truly, truly content.
I reach Grinton Lodge, pick up my equipment that I left with the Keld staff (basically just all of my sleeping kit & cooking equipment, y'know, all the heavy stuff) and got my tent pitched, overlooking the beautiful rolling hills & meadows. I had the best night's sleep while camping that I'd ever had before in my life. What a spectacular day on the trail.

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!

    fantastic video Im Glad you took the lower routes as it gave us the great views of the scenery . you mentioned your idea of the two parts of your mind thinking different things, there is an Amazing book called "The Chimp Paradox" This explores the idea that we have 2 parts to our brains , the Chimp which is our primordial brain that deals with stress and fear and anxiety etc and the other half is our opposite clear thinking logical mind. It deals with situations where our chimp brain takes over and we panic or stress etc and how we can learn to manage our chimp. It is well worth a read or even listen to on Audio. keep up the great videos

    I absolutely loved this. I had just finished making my dinner, I switch on KZread and there it was the first video on my screen , yay. And yet again, there are so many points I could speak of but I’ll just keep it to a handful. First of all, I found it really interesting when you were speaking about knowing what your limits are & not being to rigid in yourself in order to make the journey as enjoyable as possible and being aware of one’s limits and knowing what can improve your mood or what may worsen your mood etc. I found it fascinating and it rang true with a lot of things I’m currently going through. And for me, I’d have to agree with you that this was my favourite episode so far.The scenery was stunning. I could picture Bilbo Baggins walking up one of the lanes quite easily. Another thing that I really enjoyed was the man who offered to take some of your equipment to the hostel , that was so kind & almost seemed like a reward for your perseverance and working through the tougher days you’d had and sticking with it. You asked what the semicircle of stones might be ? my guess would be they’ve been put there purposely for hikers or groups of hikers or groups of walkers, maybe school parties to sit down while they eat their packed lunch maybe ? Okay, the next thing I’m going to say is a bit dark but here we go, I watched this video with my brother and he has no filter and when you was saying how cute the sheep and lambs were he came out with “ them lambs will be in Morrisons in a couple of weeks “ which sadly is actually true. I’m only mentioning this as there is a lot of beauty in the countryside, but there are some dark things to like the rabbits that have been run over, probably at night when they get caught in cars headlights hence the phrase. Lastly to hear how much you enjoyed this particular part of the journey was visceral and actually gave me a lift in my mood, which is quite amazing if you think about it. And is there any way I can find out what the music is you play on the videos? What the titles are or who the artist are? Is that possible please? If not that’s fine but it would be great to know. Anyway thank you and I look forward to the next one.

    Thank you so much! I’m glad you resonated with what I said about the limits/comfort & mental side of things, and I really hope it helps in some way. And yes I was so lucky with the weather paired with the scenery that day! It was truly stunning & I was so in my element. I want to relive it! The people at the Keld Lodge were amazing, so helpful & generous! It definitely did feel like a reward. Thanks for letting me know about the stones! I figured that was the most likely reason, but wondered if there was more history behind it. And yeah it’s sad about the lambs 😔 as a vegetarian I’m sensitive to the issue, and as much as I love to see the lambs, it’s always in the back of my mind the reason that they’re bred. It’s devastating & I don’t let myself think about it much, I just appreciate them while they’re here. And that’s amazing to hear that it lifted your mood like that! It’s so good to know when my videos bring people joy like this ♥️ The songs I use are all from Epidemic Sound (though some will also be on Apple Music/Spotify etc), and I actually keep a log of which songs I use for each video in a notebook so it’s easy to recall, the songs used in this video in order are; 1. (Intro) As I Dream by Johannes Bornlof 2. Limbo by They Dream By Day 3. Dismantle by Peter Sandberg 4. One Voice by Johannes Bornlof 5. Folds by Anders Schill Paulsen 6. No Good Kudzu by Kylie Dailey 7. Astral Roar by Lama House 8. Summer Memories by Gavin Luke 9. Back of my Mind by Melanie Bell 10. When She Comes Home by William Claeson Thank you always for your lovely comments!

    OK the other one I can think of is Kirkby Stephens the converted Church at the south end of town, that is now a YH type place. I know that because I stopped there for a night (2020 and I think it cost me £10 per night with evening meal) after my ovenight Coach Trip to Darlington then an onward Hike to Barnard Castle to Middleton then followed the Pennine Way route to Dufton, then hiked South via Appleby to Kirkby Stephens for a two day stay before continueing round to Keld via Garsdale Head, Hardraw Falls, Hawes, then followed the River to Aysgarth Falls then back road to Richmond to catch a local Bus back to Darlington ready for my overnight coach back to Essex. That was my last Big Hike at the age of 64 yrs old. Since then the longest walk I do is my shopping walk into town once a week, distance approx 2 miles each way. Tony the Retired Hiker

    Stunning - choosing the scenic route is absolutely the way. Jennifer's Cost to Coast is a thing. Beautiful old buildings, stone walls, bridges, fields, trees. Agree about renovating those dilapidated barns. It looks like there was once good money to be made out of sheep which allowed them to build all the infrastructure, but no more, so its all disintegrating, The "chasing" sheep looked fine - they had relaxed body language.

Although if you did bring him along on hikes, I’ve seen people hike with those hands free belt leads, and you could get him a little dog backpack for his food? 😂 that’d be cute, if I had a large dog I’d do that I think. Oh and again if you do take him out on hikes, as Daytona said, definitely get a good tracker for him as it’s known for dogs to run off in the moors if they see a rabbit.
