England's Coast to Coast Walk
Enough already with psychology. It's summer. Recently I walked the width of England on Wainwright's Coast to Coast Route: 330 km from St Bees on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. If you're vaguely interested in this kind of extended walking trip, you might like this. If you're here for the mental health content, maybe not. For information on trips and luggage transport:
FYI, two photos didn't seem to make it into the finalized video and it's a challenge to upload a revised video so I haven't done it - not to worry, though, the blank gaps are only a few seconds each.

Places to see in ( Alston - UK )
Places to see in ( Alston - UK )
Alston is a small town in Cumbria, England, within the civil parish of Alston Moor on the River South Tyne. It shares the title of the 'highest market town in England', at about 1,000 feet above sea level, with Buxton, Derbyshire.
Despite being at such an altitude and in a remote location, the town is easily accessible via the many roads which link the town to Weardale valley, Teesdale, Hartside Pass (and towns in Cumbria such as Penrith) as well as the Tyne valley. Historically part of Cumberland, Alston lies within the North Pennines, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by beautiful views of the surrounding fells and the South Tyne Valley. Much of the town centre is a designated Conservation Area.
Alston lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, more than 15 miles (24 km) from the nearest town, and is surrounded by moorland.[2] Nearby villages include Garrigill and Nenthead. Situated at the crossroads/junction of the A686, A689 and B6277, the town lies on the confluence of the River South Tyne and the River Nent. On 18 May 2013 very heavy rain resulted in flooding in seven areas of Alston, affecting thirty-six properties. The Environment Agency records indicate that 51mm of rain fell that day.
Tourism is now an important source of income for the area. The largest attraction is a narrow gauge railway and heritage centre South Tynedale Railway. Alston and the surrounding area is part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and European Geopark. Alston is noted for its cobbled streets and 17th century stone buildings. The area's mining heritage has been referenced for tourism purposes across the North Pennines. Nenthead Mines, at the nearby village of Nenthead, is a Scheduled Monument managed by volunteers. The Nenthead Mines Conservation Society hold regular open days where visitors can learn about the history of lead mining and take an underground tour of Carrs Mine. The Pennine Way, the UK's first National Trail, passes by the edge of Alston and the Sea to Sea Cycle Route (C2C) passes through the town.
The area is stationed on a number of routes including the long−distance footpath the Pennine Way, and the Sea to Sea (C2C) Cycle Route. Alston railway station was formerly the terminus of a branch line from Haltwhistle. The town's rail link to Haltwhistle was completed in 1852 by the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company. Part of the route, between Alston and Lintley, three miles in length, is now operated as the narrow gauge South Tynedale Railway.
( Alston - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Alston . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Alston - UK

Worlds LONGEST pier! - Southend Pier & Railway
This is Southend-on-Sea, home of the longest pleasure pier in the world! The reason the pier was built was to enable boats to be able to dock at low tide. Southend has large mudflats so when the tide is out, it's not very deep for about a mile. The original pier was opened in 1830 and was made from wood. It was extended several times and by 1848, it was the longest pier in Europe at 1.3 miles (2.1 km). Because of increased visitors in the 1850s, a new pier was proposed and was made out of iron. This was opened in 1889 with an electric railway. By 1980, usage of the pier had declined and along with high maintenance costs, Southend Council proposed to close the pier permanently. This led to protests and the pier remained opened until funding for repairs was secured by 1983. The current railway is a 3ft narrow gauge line served by two diesel-hydraulic locomotives. One is named Sir WIlliam Heygate, the other Sir John Betjeman.
I take a ride on the train and a brief look around the pier!

UK's Coast to Coast Walk in 6m30s
This is the coast to coast walk in England, from St. Bees to Robin Hood’s Bay, covered 3 national parks.
The tradition is to pick a pebble from west coast, carry all the way to east coast, and deposit to North Sea. I picked two, called this journey “Two pebbles’ walking holiday”. “Walking holiday” is the British way to say “Hiking trip”.
Each year, about 10,000 people walked this route, most of them from west to east to avoid head wind. The route goes through a lot of pastures, gate has to be locked.
There are different routes. The lower one is 192 miles where most of the people walk, but I did all the high routes, through mountains, about 210 miles. I heard someone did it in 37 hours, I was not that fast, I finished in 12 days.
My longest day was 13 and half hours walking straight. I got up at 3am, left hotel at 5, 11 hours later, arrived at the most dangerous part, called striding edge. Two days before I was there, a man fell off the cliff and died. I was very carefully and make it to the hotel safe.
It was very beautiful, but dangerous: the route was poorly marked, and went through lot of boggy moorland. I even had no idea what bogs meant before this trip. You will see a lot in the video. Anyway, I survived, but do not recommend anyone to do it alone.
For 12 days, rain or shine, with these two pebbles, I crossed England on foot. I was a little emotional by the time to say goodbye to one of them. And I will carry the other one with me to the next adventure.
