Thanks for the video. Loved seeing you get Maggie out there and walking as a team.

Nice way to start the morning. Many thanks

I am not able to stand or walk well. I just went along with you and your fine dog and had a good time.

Just bikepacked it. It was the same wetness. But rained most of it to. Damn storm Katrina.

It amazes me that there have been 16,608 views and of those views only 829(thumbs up) likes and 5 dislikes(thumbs down) before my own like.. Guys and Gals help support this type of content by liking it if you liked it.. naturally dislike if you don't. It's the likes that help the most. Thank you Simon for the tour. It is nice seeing other parts of the world being from the US.

What a good girl that Maggie is. There's no way my dogs would have followed me through that water. Great video Simon. Looking forward to your next one when your work at home is done.

I'm just finding this series and enjoyed this 1st one immensely. You are a true gentleman that I hope to emulate. Cheers

Your recent Angles Way walking video made me go back in your archives and start watching the Norfolk Long distance paths again. Excellent videos as always.

That highway crossing is a little sketchy but the walk thru there is like amazing to see the bomb craters that is a reminderbodmf really not so long ago all the chaos on earth we went thru. The battles that were fought and the terror endured. Good channel you have simmon I'm glad Scout woke me up to it. 👍👍

Well done! Beautiful land there! Sworn I heard a pheasant crow while you were eatin on the log! Thank you so much for bein able to talk to us as though we were right there with you! Stay happy and safe carpenterin please! Regards, Old John

This area is so green and lush in summer, it looks totally different. :)

Simon. Thanks ever so much for your series on Peddars and Norfolk Coast Paths. I've just completed both - see vid - and your series helped me immensely. Loving your videos, your a true gentleman. ATB Dave 😊

Haha, at 13:55 the way Maggie is chilling on the floor. She's a stunner mate. Thanks for bringing us along, it was a beautiful route to walk and looking forward to part 2. Take care, buddy.

I'm a cat person but the presence of DoGgO in this video is keeping me hooked. Also I'm from the general area so that helps.

Thanks for sharing your walk with us Simon - looked great (though a bit soggy!!). Didn’t know you were a carpenter - but that explains why your home built canoe looks so good!!

Haha, love that scene where you pick your teeth after the shot of the skeleton! But yuk at the thought 😂. Take care buddy.

Thank you for sharing this video. I found it very neat and some great beauty in the scenery of your part of the world. I'm also so Glad to see Maggie out with you too. I can't wait to see the other part of this video. Thanks Again.

Great stuff, thanks. I live in N Suffolk and hope to bikepack this route in two days later this year, so these videos are a handy guide.

Sussex Downsman Another very enjoyable video, thanks Simon. That part of the country and your reference to the military reminds me of the time I did my two years RAF National Service not all that far away at Mildenhall, 1954 t01956. Good luck with the home building.

I'm currently walking and wild camping the entire way with a mate and this is helping me with motivation so thank you pal! We're currently camping in woodland outside of Stonebridge. Lovely area so far. Got to make up the miles tomorrow though. Filming it is hard work but I'm doing my best. Gonna watch each part of yours in my bivvy each night! Cheers mate. Tom.

This is a good video. I have been searching for videos that show what it is like where my ancestors come from. They may have walked that same path 400 years ago. Thanks for posting.

That is some beautiful countryside that trail takes you through, very different to what I'm used to here. Thanks for taking us along!

looks like wild campers heaven there, iv'e had an idea to do a hike and camp along that route for a while now. so its good to get a bit of info. (Wait for a dry spell) NOTED. The paddle bit made me laugh, many a man would have quit and gone home. Good bit of filming. Gary.

Bravo for completing that soggy walk… another enjoyable video ,thanks

Just completed it today. With my 15year old boy. Great walk and our 1st of many to come.

Great video Simon looks a great walk. Lovely part of the country

Nice to see the old stomping ground, walked several parts of this at different times. Cheers for the video

Beautifull area! 🌳🌲🍃

Great video, Simon! The trail looked amazing, and I loved seeing all the animals, trees, etc. Thanks for trudging through the water to share another adventure with us. hehe I hope all goes well with your building work at home, and will be looking forward to "normal services" resuming! :)

Thanks for sharing the video, will look forward already to part 2 when you choose do it, liked all the details along the way including your perseverance through the high water, Maggie certainly looked at home there. ATB and in your joinery work 👍

Excellent video, glad you persevered through the flood waters,atb Dave

Brilliant video great views like the video well done

No problem for a Welshman Simon. We'd have walked on water! Lol. Look out for Crocs in Big Sky country!

Very nice walk Simon. I would love to walk the Peddars way one day. I am walking the Ridgeway soon (next week) wish me luck. Sandy

Very nice jaunt. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Simon, I'm back, I knew It would be a great video. Thanks for sharing mate. Take care, Steve.

Hi Simon, Just on my way out so will watch later. As all your videos I just know it's going to be great, so already hit the thumbs up! Take care Steve.

Simon.... delightful video. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes..... Ax

I think I'll wait till summer before tackling that one. Thanks for sharing.

Glad Maggie got her exercise.

Great Walk Simon

Great video Simon...

Thanks, Simon... we are on COVID-19 lock down and are really enjoying the “virtual hiking” videos now! Yours are among our favorites... 💚👏👍

Loved that Simon. Paul :)

Truly appreciate your showing us these trails and beauty of the forests Simon! My 4 months in the UK in ‘18 & ‘19 were mainly spent in Cambridgeshire to sleep and Kings Lynn to work.

Hey Simon I know you said you were just walking today but I thought about a tip I saw on you tube by using empty bread bags to put your socked feet inside your boots and the bag came up almost to your knees. It didn't do much for the boots of course but as long as the water didn't come over the bread bag your feet remained dry. Nice video! and it was just a thought

Excellent trek Simon...reminded me of my hikes in the Utah river canyons...in and out of the river so often a person just shrugs his shoulders and sucks it up! Lots of history in your neck of the woods...fascinating!!!...Maggie fell in thinking "Hey!...i didn't sign up for this!"...lol...woods

A really enjoyable video Simon, you have a great companion there in Maggie. !!!

Nice video Simon!

Loving your videos Simon, we’re watching from Perth Western Australia

Love this - thanks for posting. I'm hoping to do this and the Norfolk Coast Path at some point this year. Will split it in two and camp on each stretch. Looking forward to it! :-)

Nice area some great places to get a sneaky wildcamp thanks for sharing Simon atb jimmy 😎 😎

One of my favourite routes Simon - except the A11 crossing...! Looking forward to seeing the next sections and spotting landmarks on the way 👍🏻Cheers, Paul C.

Another enjoyable yomp. A basic infantry packing rule was 1. more ammo 2. water 3. Spare DRY socks (and not always in that order).anything else was a Luxury. Always nice to see Maggin, even though she must have needed a bath after visiting the river. Oh, thanks for adding the map info, very helpful for us that aren't familiar with the trails.

Nice video again !

Just found your channel, really enjoyed it. It’s nice to see someone who is knowledgeable about what you are into. I subscribed and look forward to your videos. Hello from North Carolina, USA Thanks Simon!!!

Great video thankyou 😊 We are lucky to live in Norfolk. Hope you got your feet dried off! 😀

You’re seriously mad taking on the boardwalks as they were. Well done 👍🏻

This video was fantastic.So much so I may even plan a trip down.Keep up the good work Simon . PS why not do a little video on carpentry.

Wow Speed racers. Beautiful song birds through out. Nothing like a walkabout in the drink! Thanks I make a motion for walking bridges.. traffic is to fast for me...

At 5:15 you showed a rabbit carcass, so I said out loud Simon just had lunch, and you used a toothpick and agreed. I had a laugh.

😆Lol killed it with the carcase then toothpick 👌👏👏👏

we did it in 2 days in the 70's to raise money for our school. it was very hard work we were only about 12 years old

Brilliant video thanks for sharing. It's hyping me up, I'm setting off 14th May, this video has helped ease the countdown!

Good to see you walking the Peddars Way, Simon. Two friends of mine are planning to do it at the end of May... I hope the area dries out in time for them! ;-) Looking forward to part two.

Well done Simon a cracking film worthy of being on the telly. Thought at times you would have been better off with your canoe. I even saw poor old Maggie fall off the boardwalk into the water! Will certainly miss your films whist you work on the house but jobs need doing and your the man to do them. Cheers ⛺️🛶🛶🛶🛶🛶

Note to self.... Check weather forecast 2 weeks before I intend to go. X

nice day for a paddle mate :) haha, thanks for taking us along

nice video

Looks a nice part of England, I'm from further north in Cheshire and haven't ventured to that part of the island. Enjoyed your video I will have to do this walk one day. If ever you venture north you must walk the sandstone trail you'd really enjoy it, a lot more hills less water. Really enjoy your video's keep up the good work.

Dog and Partridge........used to have a pint in that pub, many many many years ago. Enjoyable video, love the English countryside but compared to here there are so many restrictions to enjoying it fully.

I divided peddler’s way into 2. I began in Swaffham both times. Finished in Hunstanton on the north section & Thetford southbound section. I should have wild camped on both sections. Terrific hike!

Great video Simon I’ve done the peddars way and north Norfolk coastal path next on my list is the weavers way

Nice video Simon. We've done the North Norfolk Coastal Path a few times and have been thinking about the Peddars for a while. Great to see the lie of the land in detail. Might wait until it's a bit drier though!

Like the music

Lovey walk and footage Simon ,nice to see Maggie,and also take me 🎩 off to ya,to keep plodding on with soggy feet lol,i also tapped a silver birch a few weeks ago and got nearly a liter of beautiful birch liquid that ive frozen now to keep for ice cubes, any ways,look forward to seeing you soon and as always good job A T B mate.

I would love to see you do the coast to coast!

i wondered where you had gone too? i thought that you had jilted me? my fave bushcrafter weirdy bloke in the woods is back again with his superstar of a dog fortunately!! :) glad to see that you were utilising your time very usefully!!? unlike sandy whose is just a plain villain & a deep wiltshire lablolly!! :) i made a couple of elder fire ember blowers today inspired by your video i aim to use them this weekends as hot weather hits us coming from africa spain greece way!!? i liked the pigs it reminded me of my family and friends that oak was amazing tree also there arent many arounds these days of that girth and ages anyways!! i am glad to see that your dog had you under tight leashed control crossing that busy road? accidents do happen very very quickly we often can underestimate simplest of obstacles whilst engaged in walking in country settings i had a friend that goaded me once after i told him to keep in on a tight devon country lane that had notorious boy racers zooming at high speeds down off the moors and other less confident drivers aswell you see? i told him to stay in close to hedges and get ready to jump up vertically into the hedge if a car failed to stop or see us? but he comtinued to act the prat so i zoomed up and left him in the dark you see!! he was completely knackered by times he did reach me he laid back on verges told me he couldnt go on anymore following me!! at this speeds he started accusing me of trying to lose him deliberately i said well go on back home then as you refused to listen or act sensibly arounds cars he kept jumping out into middle of the road waving at oncoming cars last minute! scaring the hell outa them i said to him before i left if yer goinh to continue to act like that you can do it all without me? i shall listen to the crump the next car makes as it breaks both yer legs i told him that youd never be able to make it back from white line to hedgerow in the time or speeds these boyracers fly at coming down off the top of dartmoor youd only make it halfway he said im done now i cant follow you anymore at these speeds i just said go on home then? but he cont to try to follow me but i found out after hed got back after being with me he was in agonising pain for 3 weeks in both of his feet! i told him straight i dont mess about on unlit backroads late at night reason i wanted to get a moves on was that it was important to get off the main road asap as no lateral space made it very dangerous i told him that hes not going to mess about with my safety aswell as his own by acting the goat!! whilst he was walking with me!! he never walked with me again i told him that i wasnt bothered if he didnt that led to a rifts between him n me? but he then went arounds spreading rumors that id deliberately tried to lose him up on dartmoor without ever once telling them the real reason why i left him.standing as he wasnt going to include me in his own life changing accident or self centred stupidity & follies!! for this reason i walk alone mostly as i find it hard to find anyone who can keep up with me and or is compatible with me!! but i feel no losses for it i simply dont mind being solo and free!! its far better than being with someone elses at a loose ends & seeking utter folly! nice area i didnt know norfolk was even 45 miles long? or even a real county? :)

Great video dude, it’s great to see Norfolk getting a mention, I lived not too far away from thetford know it really well, lucky you didn’t run into captain Mainwaring and the rest of the Walmington on sea home guard hiding in those conifers , I’m sure you know it was all filmed in that area.

Hindsight I know, but next time your old scarpas and yeti attak gaiters might keep your feet dry, or maybe not. Good vid, happy military memories of Thetford, and some bad ones!

Very nice Simon, if a bit damp.

Don't think iv'e ever heard of that one, heard of the Icknield Way, have wanted to walk the Icknield Way since watching Tony Robinsons TV program on it. Have to look into that one too now, sounds promising. We stay at The Forestry Commission log cabins at Thorpe Forest sometimes when in the area, thanks again mate.

Looks very interesting. I hear pheasants in the background I think. Would be helpful to have a buddy help you with the filming. Good luck. Hate getting my feet wet, makes your whole day kind of soggy.

Carrying the dog over the boardwalk Simon - Now that's one man and his dog with adventure thrown in. When you said you were going to squeeze a bit more water out of your socks I could see you putting it in for the brew. Now that would be pushing it maybe. Well the Peddars Way looked like a trail I'd enjoy. Thanks for sharing. All the best. Mark P.S I check my feed nearly daily but have not come across your videos. I'll keep looking.

Hi Simon, wonderful countryside. A friend and I are planning to do this b route in a few weeks time. I have a few questions: - do you think the whole of the Pedders Way can be walked over just 1 weekend? - where do you think are good places along the route to camp overnight? - what do you recommend as the best way to get back to the start where the car will be parked? Is there reasonable public transport in the area? Cheers.

I like to see the English countryside...as well as to visit it from the USA. Today's jaunt looks more like 'Wellies' than hiking boots. The reheat food review was doubtless useful to many...but I would incline to a Cornish pastie or Scotch egg for a hiker's lunch! I am one who enjoys maps! Found your site thanks to 'that bloke in Kent' and I do like your content.

Hi Simon. Forty years ago. Ihad to swim that river !

Great video Simon x. Waders next time LOL. What was under the sheeting in the fields?

Great video Simon I have done sections of that walk and it is truly stunning. I don’t think wellies would have helped on that flooded section...can you let us know when your out filming as you always have pretty good weather..?!👍

:-) Lovely.....*

Enjoyed the video Simon, how's the herdwick coming on.

Lovely video Simon. Is the Peddars Way well waymarked

Never seen a red kite in Norfolk. And I'm from Norfolk. Did see one at Leeds festival. Well, the day after. I knew they were about up north but never thought we had them in Norfolk. Definitely never seen one there.

Maggie McDoggie. Well, you had the proper pooch with you in case you needed a watery rescue!!

Hi Simon, hubby and me are really enjoying your videos from whereever you go but mostly like the ones where Maggie is with you. About Maggie I have a question: Why does she sometimes wear a strap on her snout? Could you elaborate on that please? And by the way, we live in the Carribean island of st Eustatius.

Wellies next time, and mabey chocolate covered Romney bars lol :o)

You should have brought a kayak. 😆 At least Maggie was happy with the situation.

That bombing hole thing reminds me of a similar thing near where I am from. Never really known for sure what they were. Was told they were "sinkholes". But I am from this general area and near 3 current US Air Force bases.

Hello Simon, what a nice hike over this far distance. Especialy with dog. I been to England few times and Ireland too. Have you ever tried the big german forest regions Pfaelzerwald and Schwarzwald? I send kind regards over the channel again. Alexander

Hi Simon, nice walk shame about the wet feet, Is that an Osprey Talon pack and have you also sewn on side patches as with your LG pack. Cheers Steve
