Brilliant night at Tapestry. First time for Rita and I. Only 40 minutes from home. Easy miles on the M62 being weekend. Wonderful friendly Yorkshire folk of all ages. All good dancers too. Great time. It remind me of The Room in Hull in the early 90's. Great atmosphere. Well done Jason. Great job of a great complex.

Very busy working on making big improvements to our home and having a new central heating system installed. 2023 has been a thoroughly miserable year for weather. Non stop rain. very little walking. floods everywhere. Roll on 2024. Hope You and Yours are well. Kind Regards, Jim & Rita

  • @Trond_travels
    @Trond_travels Před 8 měsíci

    Good morning. I always wondered how much you ate and drink during your days of walking. The impression I get, is that you had full English breakfast, tea sometime during the day, and then a dinner and perhaps a few beers in the evening. But I am sure drank a lot of fluid/water? during the walks and perhaps some snacks? Kind regards, Trond

    • @jimhawkinswalkstheuk
      @jimhawkinswalkstheuk Před 8 měsíci

      Hi Trond. Great to hear from you. Briefly I walked an average of 14.5 miles per day for 390 days and lost 20 kilos in doing so. Its calores in and calories out. Please send me an email, it would be good to write to you in private. Kind Regards, Jim

  • @bobselby3560
    @bobselby3560 Před 8 měsíci

    Wow! This walk brought back some memories of my youth! First of all you parked your van in Swanage at North Beach Car Park and facing Journey's End Football pitch where I spent many Sunday mornings playing for my local pub side. Walking up to Old Harry also brought back memorioes of the August 1999 total eclipse. We'd walked up from Studland to hopefully get a good view and the sky was full of cloud when we started but just before we reached the rocks the clouds parted and we had a wonderful view of the eclipse and the silence of the birds and animals as the shadow passed over. With the prime area of visibility in Cornwall hidden by thick cloud, we probably had the best view in the country! Moving down to pass the Bankes Arm pub in Studland also reminded me of a pub quiz team I used to take part in. We'd come to the Bankes Arms from Swanage one evening and had not a particularly successful time but won the 'beer' round afterwards despite one of my colleagues inserting beer mats in the sandwiches and then complaining they were stale and tough. The landlady heard us and dared us to return! (I actually did go back there last year and I was not on the banned list!!). Keep walking and happy - Bob (aka Swanageboy)

    Been updating my 'Likes' on your walks Jim. This walk is a gorgeous stretch of Coast Path I know very well. Have walked the stretch around Durdle Door many times and it never fails to amaze me how Nature has created that wonderful arch. Still got 70 miles of the SWCP in Cornwall left to do myself which I want to finish before my 70th next May weather permitting - fingers crossed! Bob

    Hi! I started following your videos when you started this journey some years ago. Then I fell out for some reason. But several times I wanted to start following your journey again, but couldn't find the videos on youtube. Now, a few weeks back I found them again. I guess your journey is finished a long time ago. But I have started watching again, and want to follow through all the videos. It is very impressing and a great inspiration what you have done. Kind regards, Trond (from Bergen, Norway).

    Well done Jim! I've made that journey a couple of times recently, but on my e-bike, taking advantage of the cycle route! It's so nice to travel a long distance without having to deal with today's crazy road traffic!! I was a bit confused with the video date though - Tuesday 11th June... must be 2018? - Clues... there's now a brand new cycle lane from Jaywick Sands to Martello Bay, replacing that rough concrete roadway 😎, the promenade works have been finished, Walton Pier has undergone a transformation in the last couple of years, the garage in the High Street, close to where you caught the bus to Clacton, was demolished 3 years ago, and since the pandemic, the bus service is run by a different company! So much has changed in 5 years! 😮😁. czcams.com/channels/Qa1eYC59gr0r6lUXBqZZ3w.html

    Well Jim after a couple of weekends on the Leeds Liverpool we finally did a week last week and took in the foulridge tunnel. Used your great videos as reference to help. Thoroughly enjoyable experience although heavily busy with locks and swing bridges as you know. The only disappointment other than the appalling weather of late was the fact loads of places we were hoping to call into were closed or closed down :( Cross keys at east Marton ( closed Down) Anchor inn and salterforth ( closed ) Cafe at top lock at Greenberfield ( closed down) But we had a good week . Would probably do a more relaxing canal next time though with less locks and swing bridges

    I have just finished Day 1- 7 of your canal Odyssey and have to say that it has been an absolute pleasure to have “travelled” along with you all. The videography was first class, as was the narration which was informative but not overbearing (like so many CZcams videos). Harry is an absolute delight, what an amazing gentleman…..a class act all the way! In a hectic world your videos are a breath of fresh air of calm and tranquility tempered with some humorous interjections! The Team Briefings/Meetings were particularly enjoyable…..hilarious! Harry,Jim and Trish ….you all deserve a big pat on the back………well done! P.S. The music accompaniment is spot on!

      The Forth Rail Bridge is like one of the 7 wonders of the world built in the 1850's. The painters start at one end, paint to the other, then start again and again and again. There is is saying here, It's like painting the Forth Bridge. Kind Regards, Jim
