The Coast to Coast is at the top of my list. I have researched it and I love reading about it. I plan to walk it in a few years and this video has been very helpful. Looking forward to your Coast to Coast vlogs!
Thanks Abbie for sharing good luck on your trip.
Looking forward to the videos of the trail Abbie, and thanks for the breakdown in the pack.
Good luck on your walk and keep the vid's coming
excellent video! thanks a lot and whilst you were going through your stuff I was planning mine and things popped into my head! yay! off this summer, covid time but im exxcited.
A GREAT VIDEO Abbie very inspiring and it does make me feel like I should get out more. I always feel recharged and energised when I get out, any problems that build up in your head over time fade totally into insignificance. Good Luck
You've got it Paul! Hope you can get out soon!
Hi Abbie great video I’m very jealous 😂 keep safe n have fun.
Great overview on your load out ... I honestly can’t get enough of kit list videos 👍 it’s my sad guilty pleasure ... Anyway , best of luck and look forward to seeing the videos .
That's alright then, Ive got a whole spreadsheet of kit lists to shoot!!!
Abbie Barnes | Song Thrush Productions ...: genius bring them on
Very useful, thankyou for sharing.
Great video, I wish i'd seen this before i did the Cleveland Way,. i wouldn't have carried so much...lol
It was nice to meet you at Hooks farm campsite.
Nice vid Abbie. I used the same guide when planning my short walk from Keld to Reeth last year. I managed to loose the path for a short time in spite of it but miraculously found myself standing on it again. The Swale valley was great.
Here in Arkansas where it can get incredibly hot I’ve found it useful to swap socks every couple of hours and let the damp ones dry on the outside of my pack. Body Glide is also good to put on your feet to help prevent blisters.
Hope you had a good walk and thanks for sharing all the pics on FB.
Thats a real cool tip about the socks, thank you! Ill keep that in mind :)
Really enjoyed this video abbie, I'm going wild camping tommorow, testing out a new tent (Salewa litetrek 2) and a new stove (primus spider set) hoping they will both perform ok. Really enjoy your videos,I watch them as lessons for home schooling (obviously the educational ones). I can't wait for the next one, atb Lewis 😁
Good luck 👍🏼
Hi Abbie, great video, I am doing the walk in a couple of weeks, I plan to eat on the way so I am only taking a couple of evening meals as an emmergency ration pack. I have a mixture of camping and b&bs/hotel. I am carrying everything I need. My luxury items are a battery toothbrush and an inflaitable pillow. I as going to use my clothes in a dry bag as a pillow but wimped out. I have bought tooth paste tablets so I can measure out two weeks worth instead of taking a tube of toothpaste, It might be lighter. Anyway enjoy and keep up the good work.
Tooth paste tablets?! Now thats a new one! You'll manage just fine with that stuff, nice one! Enjoy!!
Did the Cumbria way beginning of June. Since that had the post trail blues, i need to be back out there. Done days in the Yorkshire Dales and Peak District since but just not there 😕. Found your vid very useful for the CW. Coast to coasts been the one ticking away in the back of my head. Thanks for sharing. Good luck and enjoy yourself 😀
I totally understand where you are coming from. Ive been back barely a few days and am itching to get out. Once a backpacker always a backpacker Id say - its a way of life. Maybe look at trails more local to you and head out for a few days? Ive got the Two Moors Way near me and have worked out how I can fit it in across two weeks without it interrupting work. Hope you can get out soon!
Good Luck 👍
Great video (as always). A few random thoughts:
1. I kept my wallet, loose change, tickets, etc., on my person...if I lost my bag or it was stolen, then at least I could still buy things and get home.
2. I did the C2C in September 2014 and used a Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo LE tarp tent that weighed about 30 ounces. It performed admirably.
3. Genuine Kinesio Tape is expensive but it sure as night follows days helped with foot maintenance and blister prevention. Put it where you normally get a blister or at the first sign of a hot spot.
4. I used 3 small gas canisters but I did the walk over 19 days. A spare adds weight but is oh so welcome when you run out of gas miles from the nearest supplier.
5. I didn't take a small gas stove as a spare but I will when I attempt the WHW in September. I got a BRS 3000T off Ebay for less than a tenner and if weighs just over an ounce.
6. I didn't register that you packed a knife of sorts.
7. What about a small repair kit (for your tent, your inflatable mattress, etc.)?
8. I always carry my waterproofs in one of the outside pockets of my bag. That way I can get at them quickly and without having to take off and open my bag should there be a sudden downpour.
It appears from your reply to Kim Sijder that you are already back. I hope you enjoyed the trail and that you have many, many happy memories. I certainly do. Looking forward to your videos including a gear review / debrief.
Thanks for the comment. I always carry a knife on me - for this trail a little Opinel 7 (which I lost sadly - hey ho shopping time!). Always have ducktape somewhere in my kit for repairs but never needed (yet). Waterproofs I agree but we are having an intense hot spell at the moment so I packed them properly. Interesting about gas, thanks for that!
Did it about 10 years ago. Just about the best thing i’ve ever done. The Steadman guide eas good for shops etc you wont starve just plan ahead a bit. Go careful after Nine Standards it can get REALLY boggy but with recent weather should be OK. Just take your GoPro and leave big camera at home. Have a great time 👍
Glad you enjoyed the walk!
enjoy your videos. I am a Texan. I will be in Scotland doing the Great Glen Way in about two weeks, perhaps I will run into you there. Some other walks/hikes in UK coming next year. Also, I will be doing the Pacific Crest trail spring of 2022. Perhaps I will run into you along the way somewhere. If you see a short chubby five foot tall 60 year old walking along, perhaps it will be me....lol....
Dixie at Homemade Wonderlust has sparked the hiking/bagpacking bug in me (love her channel) so I am so excited to find your channel as you are in the UK. I live in Yorkshire so plenty of hiking to be done here! Would love to do the Coast to Coast one day
Woohoo! So many people talk about her and she is great, but yes, all about the UK here and the wild spaces we have accessible to anyone!! Love it. Stay WILD! Abbie
Love Abbie 😁👍🏼, there is a lady doing the pct at the moment Mary Mansfield British girl.
Dixie is certainly inspiring. I am hoping to wild camp the coast to coast in September Covid19 permitting. Love Abbie's videos.
Just found your videos. Brilliant and well done. Although, I wouldn't like to carry a full pack + camera gear. You have given me confidence with pack weight about the same as mine 15K. That's a similar weight that I will be carrying next week on the CWT. That includes my camera. LOL
Nice one Chris! Yeah theres no shame in carrying weight. I know theres the lightweight trend out there but it isn't for me - I use EVERYTHING I carry and it works for me. And camera gear is not optional for those of us shooting on the trail, ha! Enjoy your adventure! Stay WILD.
Very useful video :-) I myself have walked some miles of - and will continue walking the South West Coastal Path in parts for a while. I have scanned the actual maps of Trailblazer, and printed them out in 13 by 18 cm size. Then I have laminated them two and two back to back, made a hole in the corner and keep the actual daily maps on a carabine hook. Good to go for any kind of weather, and probably lighter than the book. At least for our sections of this path :-)
Wow you're super organised!! Well done! Enjoy the next time you're out! Stay WILD.
Goodness! you can fit a lot of stuff in that small bag! I hope I get as efficient as you are.
You will, keep heading out and practicing :)
Just one point about flipping the batteries around in the headtorch to stop it accidentally turning on. Be careful - as some headtorches, especially ones with 18650 rechargeable cells have the batteries connected in parallel. If you flipped one of those around they would short each other out with spectacular results - including fire!
The easy way to tell is to remove one battery - if the torch still works on the remaining battery DO NOT flip one of the batteries.
Hi Abbie. Great video. Good luck with the walk. I’m just getting ready to hit the west highland way at the end of August so will definitely take some advice from your packing strategy!
What dates?! Might see you on the trail!!
I’m heading out on the 17th of August and have given myself a week to do it and also hike up Ben Nevis. Enjoy your hike. I’ll be sure to say hi if I see you on the trail
Enjoy but do not take all the good weather for yourself because we'll be following you in 2 weeks. :) Have a great and safe time. Seb.
Have the best time!!!
Safe journey C2C a great trail
Hi Abbie, i really enjoy your videos and wish you much luck on your hike! i always find packing videos so interesting:) i think you could make yours even better if you would spread it out on some sort of blanket so you would see an overview of al the items you are bringing instead of putting them in a pile beside you. your passion inspired me to take my very first hike, i'm doing a week on a part of the camino portuges;) happy travels!
Hi Kim, thanks for this, that's so true! Well, Im back from the trail and due to make an update video, so I'll do that this time. Thank you!
Hi Abbie. Great video. I hike the desert outside my back door and only carry a fanny pack but your videos are well done and I enjoy spending time with you. I tried to donate but your link above does not work. God Bless you Abbie and thanks again for being a ray of sunshine in my life
You're awesome!
Will Bryan thanks for watching!
Great video as always. Just to follow up on what you said about blisters... I recommend you try Leukotape. I use it as a preventative, to tape over areas where i'm prone to blisters. It's amazing stuff and, trust me, it stays stuck on! I used it on the West Highland Way and Cumbria Way and it was great. No blisters! It comes in a thick roll but you can cut it into strips and stick it to label-backing paper which makes it (and any other tape) much easier to work with. Just wanted to pass on the tip. Best of luck for the walk. And thanks for making such good videos!
Thanks Richard!
Richard D The right boots = NO blisters. 😉
Thank you for sharing, your videos inspire me to get out and hike on my own. Have you considered some light, open camp shoes or sandals to help with your feet at the end of the day? Good luck with your walk. Enjoy!
Im glad! Yes, I just use flipflops or barefoot (woop!)
Love your enthusiasm & humour.
Avoid cotton clothing in the outdoors - worsens hypothermia.
For your feet, look into gewhol foot cream, fab stuff.
Use walking sticks to help your knees.
Thanks for watching and the comment! Great advice there, thank you :)
@@AbbieBarnesWILD thank you for your videos, & character / outlook.
Good video Abbie. Have you thought of dehydrating your own food and then packing it in small ziplock freezer bags? Less weight and less space? I can dehydrate chilli for 2 people and it packs into a freezer bag which folds down to 18cm x 6 cm?
Just need a dehydrator! Love the idea though :)
I'm currently prepping to do the C2C in September. I'll be wildcamping/campsite/b&b'ing so I'll only be taking 24 hours worth of food with me. I'll restock as I eat it along the way.
I did the Great Glen Way last October - I packrafted the first bit up to Loch Ness & hiked the rest (sent the packraft home in the mail!). It's definitely worth getting the trail passport as it gives you access to showers/water etc at each of the Locks along the Canal and access to the chemical toilets (the cleanest I've ever seen/smelt!) at the designated wild camping spots. It's a fantastic trip!
Richard, thanks for sharing that useful tip about trail passport.
greatglencanoetrail.info/plan-a-paddle/facilities/informal-camping/
"Wayfarers can access the canal toilet and shower blocks and the waterside composting toilets during their expedition for £10 per person (under 12s free) by renting a key from Corpach Sea Lock, Fort William or by calling the Caledonian Canal office on +44 (0)1463 725500 to pay by credit or debit card and have a key and swipe card posted out. Keys and cards should be returned to the Canal Office or Sea Lock at the end of the trip."
I'm planning C to C in Sept this year. I appreciate the info! Just need a light stove!
Hey I enjoyed this video. I love watching pack load outs eve though they are very personal. I'm looking to do the coast to coast next year just camping and would love to know what the cost of camping is in total for you if you don't mind sharing that information?
Hi Jamie, thanks for the comment! I think the whole trip cost me around £300? Travel and food and camping included, so not bad!
Just in from a short hike and want to reiterate what you said...EVERY gram matters! Lol
I know I'm way late to this, but on the Jetboil - why not just eat out of the pot instead of bringing the bowl? I really enjoyed your trek video! Added this one to my bucket list.
A Zpacks Duplex in Camo would take bout 3/4 or 1kg of your pack weight
But that Hilleberg Akto is worth carrying an extra kg .
Nice video, why don't you take your Exos 58 and stick the tent inside the rucksack if you don't mind me asking?😎
snowy matrix That's not a bad idea. I guess when it's raining I can keep my cover on whilst I put the tent up and not have to worry!!
Do they make your travel book (not the map) in an electonic version for your phone. I used to carry around a first aid book, but now I am going to look for an electonic one to cut down on weight.
You should try mole skin for blister that stuff never comes off
Hi Abbie, are putting up a video of your coast to coast walk?
Yes I will be. It won't be out until later this year or the new year though as Im off on shoots all over and edit won't begin until October. Stay tuned though and make sure to follow my Facebook page to stay up to date with edit progress: facebook.com/Abbie-Barnes-Song-Thrush-Productions-426384884130124/?ref=bookmarks
Abbie, best of luck with your C2C. We have just started to plan ours for 2019.
Have you thought about digitalising the guide, a PDF on a phone works well and there are apps that allow you to add stickie notes?
(Appreciate that a hard copy is great to use at home)
I’ve been working to keep my Exos 48 under 6kg + food so would be interested in your follow up report.
Thanks for the comment and enjoy your walk when you head out! Im not a tech fan to be honest and have a hard enough time keeping things charged when camping. My camera gear is my main priority and my phone is usually off. Worth noting that on the C2C esp. the first half there is very little signal. Stay WILD!
what walking stick do you use
Tip: re-pack the meals into FREEZER ziplock bags - you can still pour boiling water in them and then put them into your empty pot and eat right out of the bag. Saves weight on packaging (and then trash) and also doesn’t make a mess of your pot. Then maybe you only need one pot/cup rather than 3. Hope you enjoy your trip!
Thanks Meg. I do use these for couscous and the like. I don't cook in my Jetboil only boil water and then the ration packs I make in the packet and use the bowl for breakfasts and cut for coffee etc. I could drink out of the bowl but seriously that cup is crazy light and slots in easy so works for me and save boiling water twice :)
Try ZipandTip bags they have a flat bottom so can stand by themselves and a measure on the side so you can measure how Much water you put in them. Great for repackaging dehydrated foods. That tip is attributed to Wackyswanderings 👍🏻
are you putting a vid up of the walk Abbie, would love to see it, ATB kaizer
Sure will be, maybe in a few months! So much editing to get through but there will indeed be a film :) Thanks for watching! Stay WILD. Abbie
great news, look forward to watching it Abbie, thanks
Off to do the coast to coast in three weeks, any advice?
This will be my first long distant hike
How did your hike go ?
Great video, no poles? I hope it went well out there and you made some great memories. Thanks for the video.
No poles indeed. I found a nice stick and claimed it as my own!!
Babies can you please tell me whether the Wainwright's coast to coast is rid able by moutain bike?
I know it's a year old, but since nobody answered: No, not the AW C2C walk, unless you like to hike-a-bike up a scramble or two ;-)
There is a C2C bridleway variant though.
Abbie - mind if I ask what hat/s you use? Thanks
I have no idea. The label has looonnngggg worn off!! Sorry!
You sound half like an Ozzy and you're wearin' an Ozzy hat ?
Where are you from ?
One main thing you are missing.Baby wipes.I always have them with me.When you stop or no shower.Good to give a wipe in those inportant places.feet crutch pits and neck area.and of course small plastic bags for rubbish.
Try compressed / dehydrated towels ... pack to nothing and no water weight like magic they decompress with a tiny bit of water instant wet wipe
@@leekayne yes have always known about these.but baby wipes have cleaner in them.i suppose you could combine these for use after the baby wipes.
Thanks for the Nice video! I Say skip the extra pants. In sweden I always bring woolen underclothing, like long-Johns, but perhaps thats a bit to much in UK? And be generous with the snacks!
Måns Berger having done the Kungsleden in Sweden I agree on both, good merino base layer for walking and sleeping and plenty of snacks.
I don't think I can live without coffee
Chia charge bars? Did you say they were a sponsor? Perhaps a closeup of the bar and some details about the flavours .
I was so pleased to see this post as its a trail on my list . I am heading to Kent , UK on Wednesday for a month from Canada so I will have to catch up when I get back.
Good idea! I'll get some close ups in the follow up video :) Thanks Maggie!
What exactly is squares bars
ha ha ha ...
they are actually called opposite bars
medicated talc for feet
I am guessing that you camped out instead of a B and B, hostel, or hotel?
You got latte cos you dont drink enough on the trail yet you carry 2 aluminium bottles and a plastic folding bottle !!... get rid of the aluminium bottles and get another folding bottle... and 3 jackets !!... pick one for all types of weather...calories... nuts, raisens, m&m's... great for energy and calories along the way...eat as you go...
Abbie, I'd love to have done this
But don't want to do it on my own. Wish I could have joined you.
Hope you can get out soon :)
How about a mule.... ; )
Love the videos but if I can I’d like to make a well meant constructive comment on this list.
in my opinion you are carrying way too much. We have a habit of packing in order to pander to our fears. Will I be warm enough, will I need spare trousers, gaiters etc, etc. No you don’t need any of those things. It’s red hot and will be for days to come.
My advice is to reassess and would recommend reading Andrew Skurkas thoughts on the subject. If you go for it and really embrace the lightweight method you will not look back. Everything should have more than one use and be able to fight for its place in your pack. If it can’t do that it doesn’t deserve it’s spot in the pack.
Still love your work but I feel your pain and know from experience how easy it is to injure yourself and happily it can so easily be avoided.
Best of luck on the adventure though, it’s a great walk.
Thanks for the comment. I am very aware of the lightweight trend but it isn't for me. I enjoy carrying the weight and don't want to change all of my kit - it is perfectly functioning and would be a waste. I can't strip back my camera gear or the things I take other than as I mentioned in the video and description. Lightweight isn't for me as everything in my pack I used on this trip. Works for some but not everyone :) Thanks anyway!
What no Brexit survival kit? I usually pack a dozen tins of baked beans and extra ammo in case it all kicks off!
Way too much gear! for two hundred miles. 10 lb tent. Your crazy. Your poor back. You can half that weight check out North American backpacking sites.
I know it is more that lightweight backpackers carry but everything works for me :) Thanks for the comment.
Not sure 1.6kg tent converts to 10lb
@@willsy5164 that's what I thought too lol
Abbie that was a very cool video you have given me some ideas..I take it that you do some hand washing when you get the chance?
