- On the1st of July 2020 I set out from Minehead to complete a long distance walk following the longest continuous footpath in the UK.
The journey took nearly two months and ended 630 miles later in Poole Dorset.
It was another excellent adventure.
Best video of the swcp walk ive seen stunning thanks for sharing
Great trek, I walked it back in the mid eighties with a couple of school mates, young and dumb as we were we did it in 28 days. I've come to appreciate a slower pace as the years have gone by. It's nice to see there's still a good deal of beauty to be found down there.
I got goosebumps when I saw the beautiful coastline of UK in this video, and feel to desire to walk there. Thanks uploading.
Such an excellent film of this beautiful trail. Great ending! So sorry Sky had to leave you. Hope she was OK. She's a beautiful dog!
What a lovely little film! Thank you for sharing :) really makes me want to walk it this summer or at least part of it. Very admirable that you camped almost every night!!
Amazing, thoroughly enjoyed watching this, thank you. I'm inspired!
Thank you for your wonderful journey pictured in this video! The nature in the UK is just bewitching, even the rain has its charm. I live in the northwest of Russia, the forests and lakes here also have their beauty, but still they can't beat the fascination of the British Isles! Also thaks for such a wonderful soundtrack, it was good to recognize some of my favourite songs :)
Utterly fantastic and was glued from the first mile to he very last, thank you for Jon.
What a nice video. Enjoyed every second of it. Good stuff
This has been exactly what I needed to see after such a wet winter and now spring! Back on the SWCP soon, your video captures the path so beautifully.. thank you ☺️
Amazing 👌 well done 👍
My favourite part is Prawle Point, I go there quite often.
This was an amazing video, and well done, you for completing the SWCP in some terrible conditions as well, especially the storm.
We set off Monday walking from Exmouth to studland and we are really looking forward to the hike. Thanks for sharing 👍
Lovely to watch, and the songs chosen are perfect. Job well done! I hope Skye made a full recovery.
I loved watching this thankyou. Hopefully coming from NZ in Jun23 to walk some of the path
I start june 8, c u on the trail.
Another great video, Jon. You have a real talent for the editing ( and the walking, of course )I think we're inclined to forget, sometimes, what fantastic scenery we have in this country, and how cheaply we can have a real adventure.
I think you, probably, walked a good deal farther than 630 miles, if you count all the times you has to go back for your camera.
Thanks for the visuals and taking me along on your journey! I read Raynor Winn's book, The Salt Path, and you gave me a sense of what I imagined as I read it.
Such a great video! Wonderful story telling and what beautiful scenery. Thank you, it's left me feeling inspired for my own SWCP walk one of these days.
You had me with the SWCP, you had me even more with Skye and you had me completely with Enya :-)
Really enjoyed the video SWCP very well put together. Interesting all the way through, great 👍
Brilliant video. After watching this many times I walked the whole path in April-May 2022. 45 days and raised £1500 for the SWCPA. This video really inspired me.
Hi Paul congratulations on walking the swcp and raising £1500 very well done!
Regards jon
A delight, thanks for posting.
yet another great video & great adventure... should have many more followers !! ... share with anyone you know
Wow, what a journey. This route has been ' following' me for over three months now. Calling my name. You've just inspired me to start planning for my own long distance hike along the coastal path. Not sure how to start planning what to bring with me but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Thanks mate. Fantastic! 🙏🏻
Hi there! I done last summer part of this, from St. Ives to Penzance and this video was a great flashback of memories! I'm planning in August start from Minehead to Barnstaple. Do what you want but I suggest use waterproof socks. I used last time great combo of running socks injinji with 5 toes plus waterproof socks from sealskinz. Whole day hike in the rain and my feet was dry, warm and no blisters. Really recommending to try. Take care! Tom
Wow! That is so inspiring! Thanks from Germany for sharing this!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much.❤..Great❤..Sky is ok now?❤Greetings from Germany 😊

Another amazing adventure captured in a thoroughly enjoyable video. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your trip! Very inspiring, looking forward to hiking a section in early October.
This is an awesome vlog and a great documentary about the long walk. Congrats and thanks for sharing
Brilliant adventure mate. Enjoyed that. Cheers
Wicked video, very interesting. Thanks Jon 👍🦊
Amazing video thanks for sharing 👌👍

A beautiful hike! & magnificent cinematography! I will be looking forward to your next adventure!
That was a very fantastic video and huge inspiration. Absolutely amazing effort 👍
Lovely to watch, beautifully filmed, very inspiring. 👍👍👍
Inspiring! Great video - beautiful scenes.
Loved this video. I really felt I was there with you. Love the music and the stats too. Thank you so much for sharing your walk :-)
Super film, thanks for taking the time to share. 👍😊
I live close to what’s called or used to be called the Solent Way which almost entirely avoids the shoreline of the western Solent. Panoramic views from the new forest to west Wight & the Portsmouth skyline / the South Downs are available initially from private beaches west of Beaulieu River or at Lepe & Calshot that aren’t included on the official route ! Thanks for this 👍
Wow, so inspirational my friend. 👍
This is amazing Jon, and something my husband and I are planning to do. Great scenery!
A very enjoyable video, can’t wait until the next adventure, subscribed
What a fantastic video and soundtrack also keep up the good work
I'm loving this! I know some of this coastline very well. The undercliffs from lym to Seaton is fantastic, probably my favourite spot in the UK to camp. You've done a great job filming and the editing is superb. Thanks for taking us along
Cracking effort Jon, thanks for the upload. Inspiring to say the least!
Another fab video! Thanks for sharing. I've added this walk to my list.
A dream walk that one day I would love to do. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautifully shot and very nicely edited video, not to mention an awesome walking effort and achievement too! I really enjoyed watching this.
Beautiful video, very inspiring. Walking along the swcp is my biggest dream for 30 years. I probably never will, but thanks for sharing your experience
Very nice video. Just about do this myself. Thanks for the camping spots!
Beautiful.. thanx so much.. it's my favourite part of the planet anyway. You enhanced it..nearly cried when Skye had to go home..
Beautiful video, you are very sympathic, thanks for sharing your trip.
Very enjoyable video, great mix of walking and non-walking footage, love the montage of people met at the end. I'm doing it over many trips, last week saw me cross the half way distance. Hats off to through walkers like you!
Beautiful adveture. Lovely editing and shots. Thanks for sharing. PS: So nice that you could take Sky with you. She is adorable!
Beautifully shot - the amount of work that went into a film so short, well, its almost criminal. I've only walked the Devon element of this walk, parts of which I found gruelling, I had always wanted to tackle the Cornwall segment next, hearing you say the Devon walks are flatter/kinder fills me with nerves and wonder!
Hi Mate.
Great to see your trip I came over from NYC to hike half of the path in 2019 my time was limited good to see whats ahead of me for the next trip. Great memories brought back to me from your footage. cheers
Prachtige video, Jon!
Reminds me of a long time ago back in 1987 when I walked a part of the path in Cornwall and Devon and camped on some of the same beautiful spots. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hey you are an energetic and a great human being. Enjoying with the nature is the best thing a person can do which you do. This journey for nearly 60 days seems great but sure wanst easy for you. Thank you for sharing this great experice with us. Love your enthusiasm.
I am going to "The Salt Path" next month for my book club, and found this video. Fantastic! You totally inspired me to walk on the trail, but all the way at once. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey. Sorry Skye hurt her leg, but glad to know she recovered quickly.
Absolutely what I was looking for mate. Watch lots of walks. Planning for future, have been on North Downs Way and some Coastal Path. Super work, thanks.
Inspirational film of your journey...I'm getting old, but I plan to give it a go soon...Cheers.
Great story - thanks for this. I'm in Somerset, and I've been pondering the SWCP - and I think you've edged me a bit closer!
Fabulous journey! Thanks for sharing it. Liked your music choices.
Fantastic video, great achievement, especially in lockdown
Absolutle amazing Mr Poulter.
Cheers Jake glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video mate - what an achievement!! Our beautiful country… embarking myself next week, March on 🤘🏻
Beautiful music accompsnying your video, thank you!
Sounds like a wonderful journey. Great video. Lots of useful info (relevant for the SWCP or other long trails)
Wow so inspiring! I have 160 miles to go and cannot wait to start again in May ‘23. Fabulous videography and brought back so many memories.
Second time of viewing, even better than the last. Having just completed Minehead to Newquay I felt your joy and your pain.
Trousers and shirt got a battering.
Thoroughly enjoyed walking with you and sky , you derve to put up your feet and have a nice cup of tea now !!
its a wonderful journey, thanks for sharing such great views. I went on a week trip from Bristol to Land's End and Plymouth by car, stopping along the way and visiting the great places on the coastal path. Who knows, maybe in the future i will walk it
I am instantly in love with you Jon! With how you are with this cute dog. Give me a man like this! Who loves hiking, adventure and dogs! And even looks very nice! Haha... thanks for sharing your adventure.
