 The Cleveland Way is a national trail in the historic area of Cleveland in North Yorkshire. It runs 110 miles between Helmsley and the Brig at Filey, skirting the North York Moors National Park. You all right? Can't hack it, eh? Can't hack it. Too much. Fell off, didn't you, because your legs are tired. Can't keep up, can you, mate? Good morning. Ow! There we are, the last night's pitch. And then tea, leave no trace. Slept a bit rubbish, actually, eh? Everything was all cushy, and as soon as I got in the tent, I just got annihilated with hair fever. I rarely get, but it's just every now and again, there must have been a certain plant, a certain type of grass, whatever. So just sneezing, nose was all blocked, eyes were streaming, couldn't sleep for hair fever, so. During the hottest part of the day, I'll find a little bit of shade and have a little bit of snooze. Catch up on some kip. Here we are, look. As simple as that. Back on the trail. But comfortable, warm, and here we go, we're early doors. Best part of the day for hiking, early doors and late on. I've swapped out my vest for my second t-shirt just to give my shoulders a bit of protection, because apparently it's going to be hotter today than it was yesterday, pushing 40 degrees today. I need a lot of water, I've realised I went through a lot of water yesterday, and I've run out again. We're back. Well, I get through here with bag on, billboard bag on, wee, yay, nice. Another day, another latch and lock, I like it. He's on an angle with this one, see how she fares, stiff, all right, it's not working. Oh, you lift that up, oh jeez, no, no, that's a lot of effort in that one. Plunk click, all right, it's not even, I don't know if I have to put some shoulder work into it, nah, mate, unit, personally, I wouldn't have bothered, because it's on a slope, I would have let gravity do the work, and I'd have saved that time and effort that you've put into doing that, and I would have sorted that gate up there. Cherries. Get some water here, brush my teeth, wash my hands, oh yes, got some award winning, here's one that's inside the salami, a little bit of brewery, shortbread and an espresso coffee. Tactically, I'm deploying these, me walking sticks, hiking poles, whatever you want to call them, me balance stabilizing units, me morale sticks, I don't feel like I need them, damage report, I'm not sure how far we did, we did about, we did over 20 miles yesterday, it's quite hot though, but feet are completely fine, legs are fine, did a spot of yoga this morning, stretched it all out, just had a bite to eat, and we're good, feel good, no injuries to report, no hot spots, so I just thought I'd get these on the go now, there's no point in doing these elevations and there's a lot of ups and downs today, so I'm going to use these to take a little bit of pressure off my legs, just bumped into another guy there, who was coming the other way, and he said there's not, that's it now, I'm off into wilderness, there's no real watering holes, so with that in mind, I've got, I mean I forgot, just over two litres, it's not a great deal, you can see it's the hottest day of the year, 40 degrees, it's warm as well, so I'm going to put electrolytes in each one of those waters and I'm just going to ration it, I'm just going to ration it, but I've got my water filter, so any little bit of water that looks to be relatively safe, I'll dip into it, oh it's a dog lead but it's not just been left, it's for closing the door, isn't it look, we're going to hit a little place that I passed when I did the coast to coast, and it was the only day I had bad weather, it was pissing it down, and there was, it was like pea soup, it was fogged just all up in my grill, so I couldn't see the views, I couldn't see anything, and I did tell myself I'd like to do this stretch again just so that I can see stuff, and here we go, I'm going to be up there again, so we're definitely going to be at a sea stuff, oh this time Giza, not this time, the trig point there, play it cool trigger, I'm off round here, there's where your views are going to be coming from, and the distances Rosby topping and beyond and beyond that is the big blue, that's what I'm excited to get to big blue, I'm looking at that as sort of half way, morale wise it's half way, it gets it big blue, and then it's down my coast, my familiar coast, coasting, coasting all the way to Filey, and I will be having at least one dunking sea, if not multiple dunks, dunks of hazard, that didn't work, that's heatwave, you can't do me for it, I'm in a heatwave guys, any ridiculousness, poor, poor banter let's call it, any ridiculous banter that I do today is blamed on heatwave, you can't do me for it, so it might not be up to you know day two of the Cleveland Way, might not be up to much with this and this, so just pre-warning you, pre-warning you for shants, even me just saying it's going to be shants is shants in it, I get it, I get it, I get it, just carry on hiking, having that day two, day two still doing silly little walks, yeah, you know it guys, still doing it day two, still walking past camera, every day that's what I'm gonna do, every day I'm gonna do one because it's just, it proves to yourself to me that you're not tired, you're not getting beaten, you're enjoying yourself and it's about the journey, not the destination, you're just within life, I'm gonna get philosophical aren't I, philosophical ball Paul, yeah as in life mate you can, it's good to have goals and aspirations and you know have a vision board man, don't have a vision board mate, but you know set yourself goals and little things that you want to do in life, but don't put all your eggs in that basket and don't just think that what you're doing now is just a journey to that goal because like John Lennon said man life is what happens to you while you're baking other flans or something like that and so you know there is joy to be found in the struggle, if you are a little bit overweight and you say to yourself right six months time I'm gonna get to this goal, that doesn't mean that six months you just lock yourself away from everything and just torture yourself and you know you pin all your dreams and hopes on this six-month thing when I get there everything will be fine because a you'll miss out on the life that you that you're living and b when you get there you'll guaranteed to be disappointed because it won't it won't be what you want it to be and then you'll just be replaced with another want or desire and so to really be happy in life you need to conquer the moment conquer the now and just be sort of learn to be at peace with yourself in the moment and it's difficult to do you know I jump in and out of it because I've got ADHD so you know I've just started learning Spanish because I've got it I'm like I'm doing a multi-day hike during a heatwave and I'm like so I'm gonna download an app I've started learning Spanish so anyway that's heatwave waffles in it my new band heatwave waffles I mean it's warm it's warm it's warm and it's still early doors and he's set to peak at like between two and five so that's gonna be a if it is too much I'm just gonna get in shade sit it out and then bat on for the evening Yorkshire me eat up yeah eat up there this is nice there's some beautiful look at all the different shades of green if it picks it up but it's very nice and I love these little paths man with all like the stones and that just beautiful can't tell you how nice it is to get in woods for the shade it's hot out there I keep saying it's all just stop saying it's optioner I mean it's all but there's more to life than that it's all but it's hot and it's nice to be in this shade cooling down a little bit as I say I want my t-shirt to keep it off me shoulders me caps doing an half-ass job of keeping it off back of me neck what can you do I'll just have trucker tan water more than happy to be ambling through here we're doing all right we've put a few miles in get that man put a few miles in we'll go through this one then it'll start taking me up to the top and that'll afford me some vistas that I was robbed of by mother nature when I did the coast to coast so I'm looking forward to seeing that yeah I leave them way and then behind it the lightweight walk that's how old that one is etched in stone on here new timber and it's a very old a very old route one that I'm probably gonna do actually at some point this year a very old and past itself by date chicken of the woods and some on there as well gone to waste that would have been a good feed I'll just aimlessly walking through here admiring the views and then it just hit me I was like oh I've been here before I recognize this I recognize this gaff and it was on my coast-to-coast this is where I came across here and there was a load of cows all strewn across yard if I can be bothered roll clip cut these all stood in my way man I'll write the headline for you Yorkshire's sexiest rambler mould to death by a herd of cows there's your headline you welcome to it whoever finds this whoever finds this camera and my beating up body is that a bull yeah come on let's go what you do is you can't show you can't show fear even though look at more looking at me it's just not it's out of order right come on out it road yeah he's a big lad look at him bull I've just out bulled a bull look at that yeah yes country file mate country file even that big bull I don't know if you can I guess you can see my biceps through this puncture he certainly must anyway must have done cacked him to look he cacked himself small victories guys small victories was I bothered there have you just seen a clip who knows depends how I feel at the time depends I feel look they obviously got the point into look got the message cleared off rumor as it there aren't been a cow seen in these parts since that fateful day and if I remember correctly this next bit is a bit of a fire burner so I have to put you away and get on with thighs Pfizer monelly it's too windy can't hear you behind here not been doing much filming because it's been too windy which which is a joy because it's keeping it relatively cool in the wind it's like someone's holding a hairdryer in my face stunning views absolutely lovely but as far as talking to a camera it's pretty much a no-go because I'll get you up here it's a bit windy I can remember this from the coast to coast I think we go back down into this valley up that other side it's a bit of a killer if I remember correctly so we'll have a little break before we do that there's a tap here look and I was worried that I won't gonna find one rationing my water so I'm gonna take on board a load of water and restock and sit in the shade a little bit because I was on the tops and that breeze was keeping the sort of heat off me although it was still on me but I just didn't realize because the breeze then as soon as I dropped down I was like whoa my skin was up he realized that it is really boiling up so I'm gonna fill me water up rehydrate and sit in the shade for a bit bits at some keep poking through but mainly sheltered behind this tree to take a bit of heat off me so I'm feeling it a bit oh I'm buzzing no I got my boat water bottles filled up because that was they were starting to go down at a rate of knots and I was thinking I can't ration this because the amount of liquid that's just pouring out on me I need to replenish it and the salts that I'm losing otherwise you know because I are eating so I had my breakfast and I'm not eating all day so losing all them salts and minerals and stuff I would bonk out so I'm glad I'm happy that I filled them up and I'm gonna have a good rest maybe 20 minutes off an hour in this shade just chilling out might even have a snooze just to take the edge off this midday sun and then it's back up onto tops El Scorchio I just kept getting bitten by horseflies and stuff so that one enjoyable I couldn't relax so that was a baton the last time I was here I mean roll clip so that's Middlesbray if you can see over there Hartley pool what else we got yes yes this is I wanted this one I wanted it I was thinking about it when I knew it came this way I was thinking oh this is my moment to get my view that I didn't get last time whoo bit flying it flies a witch's t-at but your rose be topping in distance it's so destroying for legs to see how far I've got to go all across these ridges back out that way and all the way around to yon side the rose be topping it's these beats man the valleys anyway beautiful in fact you know what it's a nice little stone seat in it shall we have a little sit on it why not treat yourself I mean treats this end there it is look at that it's essentially a bog but I'm having it I think I'm having it I'm not gonna get in it because that'd be weird but it's a bit murky oh but it's cold should I get in it I'm getting ed in it I think I've got to I've got to heads going in it there's all sorts in there oh well wild swimming 101 heading bog it's for survival reasons my pocket it stinks it's not good nothing good about it is good actually I'm enjoying it no fell unreal that is good stinks a bit but look at that beautiful bit of water that's first bit water I've come across so that's what you're gonna get from a m dunking in it imagine finding something I can actually get in not being seen refreshing let's go it's a fair few bilberries kicking about here so I'm gonna put my bag down and spend a good few minutes filling myself with them because that is good sugars like a monkey picking nits out of another monkey's air gloves are coming off gloves are coming off serious serious foraging now it's for a reason as well I need the sugar I want it oh mate dunked me in that cold water now I'm getting some of these can life get any better than this no there we go just filled up on them blue and bilberries camera just tapped out it was too hot so that's what it is I get as a beast coming up this was a beast that's a beast that little short water so I got to the top of your thought a nice one of it I just carried this it was literally that bit and then straight into another one brutal man that was funny I just done a medic before I went through this gate and I was thinking to myself I was thinking I was thinking what would it be like if someone just you know just saw me doing a medic like whatever so I was like maybe to this thing to this whatever it was pheasant and then came through fencing there's came through gate and there's just two blocks so they were like I came through on my own so like why is he just shouted medic and then come through that gate so there's that that was some good news for you there's some good news getting all the way up this monster up to this rocky crag that's the first time that's the first time it's got too much for me I met these rocks and I've managed to foot I thought I got myself in the middle of all these and below ground level there's a nice breeze coming through there shelters from the sun coming up there was tough the wind on my just at my back was sapping me and I was thinking my burn of course I am I was thinking if phone can't look sort of phone phone tapped out I went to check my GPS and phone was like you need to cool it down before it'll work and then my camera just broke on me because of heat and I was thinking well if everything like what what's stopping me from doing that like I'm on that verge and I felt like come up there that was me logging off got a bit light-edded purely just from the heat man it's cooking my head I think it's cooking my brain got some water some electrolytes here and now and just let my body temperature drop and then set off again that was funny them to blokes man just shouting medic behind gate like medic I stopped another chat with him and one of them blokes had just almost passed out said he'd come in from the other way with his mate and either it got all dizzy and nearly passed out mad dogs and Englishman in it the last time I was here it was completely fogged over zero visibility lovely little place my brain I think cooking whatever's left of my brain is getting sous vide in my skull we're in the middle of it now we're at worst of it this is worst of it so I called down a bit in them rocks then when I got out and the Sun hit me like an instant headache anyway get me down and get some miles in and hopefully find some water jumping just to cool my core temperature if not just maybe find some shade again and just keep going from shade to shade screwing like a little mouse like that shrew that's probably what that shrew was doing TBH here we go again another valley down through here I'm gonna get up onto this ridge and then it's all like go backwards to go back around and up along top of that ridge and all the way around to there that's my plan for today you can see all the ridges I've done even started back here down down these have just killed me off this is the hardest hike I've ever done that's saying something but I think it is because there's no way I can't get away from this heat it's time of day is like four or five o'clock when it was peak it's like 40 degrees and I can't get away from it there's no way to shelter the the duds that I wore my sacks when I first came out I done he done like little hikes in them and worn them about and stuff and they've done it they've done a number on me and chafed me up it's nice getting worse I'm dealing with that and then so I've had to swap out for my icebreakers let's call them underpants just try and get a bit of relief on that but it's really hurting me water's running low there's no one there's no one else out I'm not running into anyone and all that I couldn't I can't even like just going out like I didn't even a wall to get behind for just a little bit of a respite from it it's just a constant I've got to the stage where I'm having to ration my water now make sure it was all right that's priority anyway that's my update sorry for whinging but that son's kicking my dick off that to stop I've come off the track and I found this little clearing that I could pitch me tenting I'm not gonna get bugged out even if I sleep on it because it's I think I'm gonna make it any way to wherever and it's half six seven so what I'm gonna do we'll lie down here just chill out rest me bulb try and get some shade on my bulb from a bag or whatever and then see how I feel when it gets a bit dusky like nine ten o'clock see if I can see if I feel like doing a couple of hours then if not this is a good enough place for me I'll just pitch made I'm a pitch made I've got good news I'll just pitch my tent here and rest me noggin meh 2 to mate I'm having a meh yeah I've only got a couple of mouthfuls left of her h2o h2o no all right geezer so down here would be classic water in hole but arid all right gaj look at this is it arid absolutely arid yeah leave the coast to coast and strictly Cleveland way although it's been one of the hardest days it's been nice to revisit and have a little bit of nostalgia chucked at me enjoyed it last time I went that way this time that way reached a low point where my ears just turned into pork scratchings yet or not just a puddle in it but I am thirsty some sort of low point fetch for me what's it it's cold there's a lot of floating stuff in it but there's just getting up for a little drink and enough to to cook a meal if we need to look at all these flying at idiots as well right yummy yummy they're getting me what other so I can get look up bits in it as well I can't do this man I'm doing it though he says he's doing it it's getting filtered so don't worry about it that will I don't know what that will do but you know it's a relatively long wait at next place considering how tie down or how bad me chafing is it's like quite a distance next guy and it's getting to that stage at that day when there's no going to be open so an autistate you might see it's more important to stay hydrated in it and it's me look at all the flies on it but whatever it's getting filtered by the midges as well and getting me the mozzies I'm not midget images get bitten can see here in the heather and then there's this big bald square bit where they've burnt it away and they do controlled burns and a put a little hide there and so they can see the grouse coming out of the heather into this bit Bosch mad place look where some of you know what it is but look at you can't be bad I tapped out I managed to get some water from a puddle as you do and then she came down here off the track and I thought you're relatively flat head down here we'll come at it again tomorrow because today was a tough one man this heat had killed me looks like I haven't quite some nice skies and I'm got enough water to I'm gonna boil it as well I only filtered it but I'm gonna boil it as well and I'm gonna have a meal and I'm gonna go to bed just so nice to get these feet out man for some reason I've managed to get a blister there's a blister come on focus in all around there see that inside there and round like in my big in between my toes man I'm gonna have to just see what it's like in morning maybe just well look at that side track by that big glowing orange thing dinner is served ready for it that's my first meal of the day I had my little bit of meat and cheese for breakfast and then I've not eaten anything all day so this is gonna go down a treat I forgot to do map time because after such an arduous day my bulb was fried and I totally forgot so map time will be coming up in part 3 so stay tuned
