First of all Well Done. I got the Hiking bug after I left the Army in 1979, Hike 1 The Pennine Way South to North 360 miles in 18 days. Hike 2 Pennine Way North to South 16 days. Hike 3 Coast to Coast (West to East) 180 miles in 10 days, Hike 4 C2C (East to West) 180 Mile in 10 days. One year off from Hiking then Hike 5 John OGroats to Lands End did not record milage and that took me 6 Months, walking for approx 10hrs per day. Hike 6 Lands End to John OGroats no milage recorded. Two years later I tackled the Clockwise Complete Coastline of the GB Mainland starting and ending at Lands End, unrecorded milage but think that was in excess of 5,000 miles. A two year break before going back to the reverse the previous Hike, the Mainland (Scotland England and Wales). Now retired and having plenty of time on my hands I Congratulater fellow Hikers like yourself while watching their KZread Hikes, it passes my days before the Summer and no doubt the Hiking will continue. Good Luck for any future Hike you do. Tony in Essex (67 yrs old and still hiking)

It's a crying shame that this video only has 24000 views. It's deserved of probably 2.4 million views

Best English hiking video! Amazing job. It was realistic, well edited, funny, and inspiring. You deserve way more views and likes.

This is so well produced! Congratulations on your success, I hope the algorithm is kind to you. There aren't enough quality uk-based hiking channels, and this deserves to be seen. This has to be one of the best hiking vlogs I've watched!

How has this video only got this many views. Such an amazing video I loved every second of it😊🙌 glad to have stumbled upon this channel

Absolutely brilliant video. You stirred up a lot of emotion for me. I am beginning my backpacking adventures next spring. I love hiking & share our adventures on our channel. I’m 48 & feel regrets for not heading down this route earlier in my life. I too suffer with mental health (Army Veteran), and the outdoors do help massively (like you said, better that medication). I want to backpack to rediscover myself. You sir, have my utmost respect & congratulations for completing the epic journey you did.

hello fella we’re nearly 60 & because my old friend became fairly immobilised because of spinal condition she began reading to escape constant tv in the long winter days & began with reading Free Country by George Mahood & plenty since. I really admire your effort because it’s inspiration for myself because before I die I must at least do Lands End to South Foreland & cannot think what is the longest distance I have walked in one day in my time since being 16 in 1980. Unless orienteering or hiking or charity is your thing I’d bet there’s millions like me whom haven’t walked further than 15 miles between sleeps. Incredible really & your walk is really incredible ! Thanks for this mush 😁👍🐢

I realised shortly into this, that I had watched it before, but it is so well done, so enjoyable and inspiring that I watched it all over again. Thank you so much...I hope you are well 🙏

Hi Josh, thank you so much for this absolutely beautiful video. (This for sure deserves WAY more views. JUST SAYING!!) i lost my dad recently, he died from MND suddenly. He walked all the streets in Bristol! And logged his journey of which has been published in news articles. My dad also struggled with his mental health at times too, and found walking helped him a lot. Me and my mum find comfort in watching this video as it is a way of connecting with my dad, through you! As he loved walking too. The message about maybe not reaching the finish line, as it were, is also so true too. Such beauty encapsulated in this video regardless, and doesn’t matter! Keep going :)

Thank you so much Callum! Really glad you enjoyed the video!

Watched it in 3 parts but can honestly say I loved it. What an adventure.

Really enjoyed watching this Josh very well put together and filmed. A big adventure for such a young chap I hope you have many more to share. Thanks.

I lived just below stoodley pike, and the pennine way, for 12 yrs, where I brought up my boys, and would regularly take them up to the pike and along to Hebden bridge, I also walked the canal regularly from Todmorden to Hebden bridge. Still have friends theree and visit every couple yrs. I now live in Perthshire Scotland.

Absolutely brilliant!!! Well shot, well voiced-over, well edited. Everything. Congrats. This trip for you was way more than a geographical destination, and you achieved it. I’m thankful your family - particularly your mom, was able to give you those moments of encouragement. I’m impressed and inspired. I’ve been attempting to convince my best friends to go with me on my next trip to England and hike somewhere. Hadrians wall, Yorkshire Dales, anywhere. I’m going to share your video to help inspire them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Best wishes.

Thanks Josh, I'm doing this walk next year. You are amazing, and keep up the good work. What an amazing journey

These videos of yours are so underrated! I hope it got more attention for you! Also looking forward to seeing more of your muay Thai and adventure videos!

I really enjoyed watching your journey, what a beautiful country. Thanks.

Josh, this is the most engaging, thought-provoking, soul-nourishing documentary I've watched in quite some time. My absorbtiom was all the more pronounced because with every frame, I was all too aware of the effort you put in to the production to enrich my viewing experience.... effort that inevitably made your journey more draining on your energy. This is a beautiful adventure that few humans will ever find the nerve, courage or will to undertake, and for that reason, you're a cut above. Congratulations. Thank you.

Josh - you have filmed this so beautifully. I have walked many miles on many routes and I have also watched a ton of walking videos by adventurers such as yourself. Really, this production of yours has been cream of the crop material. I hope this really puts you on the map, where you deserve to be. To have your own back story incorporated into it, at the same time highlighting the nature of mental health as part of being a human being in this, the 21st Century, is the cherry on the cake. Well done, I salute you and hope you have many more adventures!

Loving your travels, beautiful scenery, great commentary, love when you have met up with your family, your travels with others, the ancient ruins and gems you have found along the way.

You have such a loving family it's beautiful to see 😁

That was such a beautiful story, Josh. Well done and congrats on challenging your anxieties and winning the day. Absolutely inspiring.

I can't thank you enough for your delightful film. I've always wanted to make this trek, and you've inspired and uplifted me in so many ways.

Hey Josh, thanks brother for the share and your positive mindset! I am going true some rough time and watching you staying so positive (most of the time :)) really cheers me up :) :) all the best to you from the Netherlands!

What an incredible video! I love it.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I wish I could of gone with you, the trails are so beautiful.

Thanks for documenting your adventure. It’s very inspiring

Seriously amazing content. I found you because I thought what if I walked across the UK and started doing research then wanted to see if anyone has done it and you sir have come up. I absolutely love the content and the personality that shines through and so open about mental health! This has inspired me to also walk across the UK, keep up the good work!

I walked LEJOG seven years and watching this brought some great memories flooding back. What a brilliant video, and a great adventure you had! This is definitely the best LEJOG video I've watched.

Awesome Vids , i found your chanel by mistake searching for something else and i find ur video with thai training! Passion , Quality , good vibes and i kind and smiley person! All the good things from Romania!

Im gonna hike for 25 days in england after a month from now , soo excited

What a fantastic video, so inspirational, well done on the epic journey..you’re a natural in front of the camera

Well done what an amazing experience

Hi Josh, thanks for such a wonderful account of your epic hike, very inspirational!

Awesome! I was following your journey whilst I was on my own LEJOG2021. Was great to see your take on the adventure and now to watch the full version.

This was such an enjoyable watch, every minute of it, your enthusiasm is infectious, I love it! Thanks for the immense effort you must have put in to document this, it was all worthwhile. Your parents must be so proud too. Additionally the soundtrack is stunning! Please, please if you can, post the playlist for this film, it sounds like I need that music in my life. ❤

Wow, what an amazing adventure. Well done you. Awesome achievement 👍👍👍👍

really good walking video well documented kept everyone well informed

What amazing trip wonderful

Great job Josh, outstanding.

What a great adventure, I wish I could do this at the moment. Well done buddy! Very inspiring. You're a genuinely cool guy thanks for sharing it with me. ☺️

Came across this video from an instagram reel. Amazing stuff, thank you for sharing your adventure with us! I can't imagine how many shoots you had to do for the walking away shots tho - setting up camera and going back must have become second nature! Seriously tho, great video. Thank you!

You are one brave young man! Hats off to you 💪🏻

Can’t wait until the end before I comment got to where your neck gave way. I admire the editing and camera footage as much as the physical effects. I like the longer uploads rather than the shorter clips for these type of adventures, it was very enjoyable you came across very articulate and knowledgeable. To end thank you for sharing your experience and well done happy new year to you and family for 2023

The production is top notch. It much have taken so much effort to get those walking to/away from the camera shots. You must have doubled your distance in getting those shots alone. Well done. Very inspiring 👏

Fantastic video thanks for sharing

Really surprised this video doesn't have more views. It definitely deserves more! 👏

Loved watching this!! Please do more soon haha

Enjoyed this

Thank you very much, Josh, for this splendid, interesting and so beautifully filmed and inspiring hiking video! I've watched a lot of hiking videos in the YT. Yours is so far the best one. I loved the realism of it, long and wet days are tough, with sore muscles and joints. However, the toughest hikes give the best memories, and the feeling of overcoming the problems is great and carries you through many tough situations in the life. The overall positiveness and enthusiasm of your video is charming. I wish you all the best and wonderful new adventures 👍💕 You got a new subscriber from the currently snowy and frosty Finland.

Brilliant journey, brilliant film. Well done Josh, on both counts. Atb for the future.

Wonderful sharing friend, love it 😍

Inspirational. I plan to LeJog next year and your point that the hardest part is starting is the key takeaway for me

Excellent EDIT, great adventure.

I've caught the hiking bug. On your mental health, Good luck all the way with this. My mental health was also the same reason I did my own. I'd been deeply desiring something that I could claim I did and when I saw the Way of Saint James, I decided to that 6 days hike from Ferrol to Santiago de Compostella which was 111 km. Last year I did the way again but this time I went from Reading to Southampton then A Coruna to Santiago de Compostella. Both were deeply helpful my mental health giving me Identity and confidence in myself.

That was an absolutely brilliant attempt mate. FairPlay to you for seaking out all those hidden gems. Very interesting to see. I’m from Buckinghamshire England but I’ve lived in Canada for 18 years. I still come back to the UK most years and do a bit of hiking and backpacking around England Scotland and Wales. I’m a big fan of Haze Outdoors and Liam Brown for their hiking vids.

Hi Josh. This was an excellent video. Thanks for sharing it. Am curious if there was a specific route you followed or did you make it as you went along? I want to do something similar but am curious about the best route to take and the rules about wild camping? Thanks for any input.

I would suggest the best 50 days of your recent life so far, congratulations on your achievement, onwards and upwards!

Great adventure. Be careful camping under trees in high winds though.

Must be one of the last videos of the sycamore tree💚

Good luck

It’s a thousand miles if you go from Lands end to John O’Groats. That’s the whole length of the UK.

Imagine telling your grandchildren this, amazing!!

3k views for this great video wow people missing out here

I remember seeing this in April last year 10 Apr 2022. And wondered why there was less than 1000 views. But look at you now. Found you on insta reels spontaneously

Hi josh, planning to do lejog next week. Quick question, how did you find all these hidden gems just off the trail? would you research cool things in the area? Or was there an button on your map that shows cool things close to you? I'd love to know what you did !

Having walked some of your routes, Cornwall, Devon and Somerset are the nicest, though toughest places to walk.
