 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. There's background noises and everything, but let's not worry about that for now. Where'd I work up? Right. Let's do it. So this was the hottest day ever. I woke up here in this field and we headed in to Oz Motherly, where there is a toilet where I filled up my water and brushed my teeth and stuff, so that's a joy. Got some food from the little shop on here and then headed off, bumping to the guy that became my savior in the future. Stay tuned to find out more about that. He was going this way. I had no idea I'd see him again. And that he would play such a pivotal role in this journey. And off I went up onto the tops, some lovely views from out here, really enjoyed hiking this bit and through these woodlands, which afforded me a little bit of shade. And then dropping down here, you realised how hot it was when I dropped down off the top, so I was like, oh my, it is actually boiling and my skin is hot. And we're back on our cart really, remember because it was a bit ago but up on the tops again along here. I'm up on the tops now, it was windy but it was like a hot wind and it was kind of giving me a false sense of the actual temperature. So when I dropped down here I was out on my word. This is where I filled my water bottle up and tried to get my head down behind some trees but I just want having any of it, kept getting eaten by horseflies and that. This is where it killed me off man, these valleys here killed me off, you see elevation on it, killed me off, absolutely. Well I got my views out from here that I was denied on the course of course which made up for it. On I go, head started to go about here I think, see that exclamation mark that is my head popping up here for another climb up, yeah this is where head popped actually, climbed up here, head popped around here, hid somewhere around here, that's where I was like I'm going to camp here. That's where I bumped into that guy from Harrogate and he gave me a little bottle of water which really did help so that gave me beans to pop to keep going, up here. This is where my puddle was about here, kept going and then I came out on here and I think this is where I camped, if I'm not mistaken maybe, which I got a wonderful sunset and that's where it is, that's where we are, we camped on here, somewhere along here is where I camped and that was it mate, that was arguably the toughest days hiking of my life. Welcome to day three on the Cleveland Way and let me tell you, well first of all look at this, beautiful pitch, beautiful views, I got such a stunning sunset last night, it was an absolute joy. I took away from the fact that I had a sunstroke, I think I've got a bit of sunstroke because of the heat of yesterday and the day before, especially yesterday in the 40 degree and it was relentless so Ed's been hurting a little bit and I felt sick, I thought I was going to be sick, I was retching out at 10 last night, bit dizzy but I feel okay so I ran out of water because I was feeling sick, I've drank my water so that's the first part of call is just keep hiking till we find summer, even a puddle, whatever, get some water down us. I didn't get as far as I planned in my head but that's life, it turned out to be quite a hard hike and the Cleveland Way is no joke, yesterday was the hardest hiking I've done in a long time because of the sun but it wasn't just like flat, it was like that, up and down, almost vertical at points, up and down so tough on the old legs and with the heat was just relentless, I forgot everything I said yesterday but if you're watching there was a guy, probably the only guy I've seen on the trail or on any trail and he gave me some of his water and he was on his way, he was doing the coast to coast, he was on his way to Blakey Ridge so he's from Harrogate, I forget your name mate but thanks very much, I really appreciate it but all in all it's all good man, the chafing headset, considering it's day three, I don't know, I'm just going to keep going, anyway it is what we do innit, we just smash it out, is that toxic to say that, I don't know, yesterday it was like there was bits in my mind, yesterday I was like I'm going to have to tap out, I'm going to have to tap out, I don't know what to do, there was no shelter, there's nothing, there's no way to get out of the sun, it was worrying at times, I was like well I can't get out the sun, my water rations are very low, the phone's running out of battery, am I going to have to be medicked out, mediic! I thought that was the human medic, I thought, I've cut back, I'm going to maybe add an extra day onto this whole hike because it's taken me a bit longer to do these first two days in this heatwave I don't think, I don't know if I mentioned there was a heatwave, so my plan is to get to Saltburn by the sea and get my first look at the big blue, that will be good and instead of wild camping there, if I get the opportunity or if there is anywhere I'm going to stay in some digs just to get a shower, rest myself properly, I was always going to do that anyway, all just wild camp who cares, I've got I've got rehydrated me as long as I get some water and that's what I'm going to do now pack this up and get going, leave no trace, e-chat men and we're off, I've blister padded up my toe or my foot where blister was and I've tended to my, what do you call it, chafing, as best I could just antiseptic wipes, just keep it cleaning it because it was bleeding, well it's where I'd have, I swear I'd have me junking this, I'll maybe put it on screen now, these Sax underpants which are good, I might just not be built for them because at one nut I don't know, but it just set off a chafing that yesterday I couldn't, it just got out of hand, really hurting, it drew blood so I've cleaned that up antiseptic which I can feel it hurts but as long as it doesn't get infected or out and turn me junking to roadkill, I'll be reaped and foot feels alright, junk feels alright and sided nuts and thigh, feel alright, brain scrambled egg, brain feels like scrambled egg, shouldn't laugh, it's not even funny is it, I'm only laughing because it's ridiculous and it's what I do when things are getting a bit, a bit tough sometimes you have to have a little giggle don't you, I don't want to bush my teeth as well so all this comes with getting some water, rehydrate, bush my teeth, now this is a good day, the sun isn't out, it's sort of behind these, sort of hazing us to it, look at that, I want to say meadow pip it or some sort of pip it but I didn't know, pip it, but yeah look, so the temperature is noticeably dropped, you can feel the coolness on my skin which really took it, took a pounding in the sun yesterday, 50 shades of burnt, all in all good stuff man, good stuff, feel a lot more positive today than I did at the end yesterday, it's good to be alive on this silly little rock in the middle of an endless universe, right put you away, I'll get some miles done and try and find some water, A3, easy, light work, easy work, there we go, it doesn't look like there's gonna be any chance of water up here, just didn't any, so killdale, that's where it'll be because I think there's a tea room, whether it's open or not, I don't know, and there's some public toilets as well and I'll drink out at the toilet if I have to mate, you know, you start to feel like why you make them films like Waterworld and stuff, not Waterworld, you know when like water becomes currency and you do out for it, that's what I feel, still cooked from last two days and I was having dreams of it, I was having dreams that I was swimming, I was like jumping this water and just swimming in it and drinking it and I guess that's why you see like mirages and seeing a few of them, all the same and I'm guessing it's grouse related and I'm guessing it's to catch the rain and that's why I had a look in it, I'll take the grouse's juice for sure, but the positive like it's downhill, it seems like, it seems downhill, I don't know if you can make out on here, but there's a monument, there can you see it, there, Captain Cook's monument, we're heading towards that, around there, two miles till I get a drink, exciting times, we've got, we're eating some rodea so it's not my favourite surface to walk on, but it's, it can be pretty fast and however demoralising it is to look at your, how far you've got to go in one direction, if you look back and you see how far you've come, that puts a spring in your step, let's put this in our rear view mirror, blister it's a little bit and chafing a little bit but all in all, skipping, let's chill this up, I'll see you in Kildale, unless some at Madge or Treadjappans, it's all good, this road's pretty cool as well, there's nothing on it, there's no one about, it's like the end days of pocket, is everyone alright, imagine that, Heatwave's just not wiped everyone out except me and this is it, still filming to go out to do, not have a guest just to me, I'll watch it when I'm older, just me on mid-sod, liking, sharing, subscribing, Medic! I've just seen a pair of lap wings, I wish I had a better zoom, just two or a curse, there they are look, lads lads lads, oh lads on the last probably, that's another one look, there is, it's in your lap wing, do a bit, see as late as, Medic! Medic, I've got to be nearly there now, I don't know if I've ever been this thirsty in my life, here we go, cleave them way this way look, pretty, get me in there, and in there, please please, please, yes, no, that's one of these tight ones, can't get my bottle in it, oh well, brush my teeth and do what I can, is that the cafe, is that the cafe, because I can't find it, this is it, find me to the little plot, when I can't get any water, the water at the toilet was one of them spray out things and it just wasn't working for me bottle, and I got a bit of me hand tasting, it tasted weird, it's like chemicals, and it's just for washing your hands, so I've put some in my bottle, I'll filter it and boil it and drink it if needs be, but, I don't know, big old church look, so I'm getting sidetracked sorry, any water, got any taps, big old yew trees, poisonous, poisonous to humans the old yew and animals, some of the oldest trees in the UK are yew, and you'll find them in graveyards, a lot of the time, I believe, there's a few different rumours going around as to why, but rumours, thoughts, but I was always told that because the poisonous, they planted them on the grave plots to keep the animals out, the livestock, from mucking about on graves and that, anyway, nice little church that, bit of a detour, but sometimes you have to just walk round the graveyard, don't you, put things into perspective makers, we're all ending up there, that's for sure. Medic! So I just asked a woman and she said that the cafe has been closed for three years, so, Harvey Maps, sort it out, people put all the eggs in that basket and then when they can't get it, which, that was a bit of a downer because I was wanting a coffee and cake and all that would have been, and some fresh water, that's a downer, but, on the plus side, I saw some dude cleaning his car and I was like mate, please can I steal some of that water out your hose piping, yeah, he filled my bottles up, so, got fresh water, forget the cafe and we're off again, apparently just a big ill to deal with on this road, so we're going to crack on with that and get back up on top. Medic! Nice track this, nice track for walking, but, ooh, that hill out of Kildale, tarmac as well, tiring, is that some raspberries? One, one raspberry, that's nice mouthfeel though, nice taste, I think it's like a cherry. I might stop and have a soup, that's one of my things is a soup I've got, so, then we'll get to Captain Cook Monument and have a soup, celebrate, get into a monument with a soup, might be the first time I've ever done that, and I'm here for it, just watching me do this, but, I'm beyond caring, remember, and I zoomed in on this and here we are, Medic! Medic! Shout out, Bobby! Captain James Cook, question marks, question marks about your captain, ready for a soup, there's Rosbury topping, that's a detour to go on top of there, I've been to the top of there before, so I'm not going to do it, I'm going to save my legs and I'm going to bat on, we're making up for lost time, so we're going to try and get to the sea, I'm having a rest, it's approaching midday, I haven't had any calories today or salt or anything, I'm just going to stop and have a soup, and have chicken soup, just to keep wool's front door, the old brain fog, you really can feel it when it starts to come on, you know, just from lack of calories, fat, salt, whatever, glucose, water alone isn't enough when you're exercising, it probably is actually, you could do, I don't know what I'm talking about, what I know, what I know is that I don't know, sometimes big meals are just a bit heavy, and then normally, upwards of 700 calories, this one is, I've talked a bit off that told me, but it's around the 300 mark, 300 summit, it's not going to blow you, it's not going to make me too full, smells lovely, I can't be bothered to show you, but it's chicken soup, there's big bits of chicken, pepper, green shit, I'll report back with the flavour, that's very good, that's one of the best ones I've had, probably because I'm starving, living like a king, we've made it, made it through a rough bit, a rough bit, we get this down me, have a bit more water and then that'll be it for stops today, we'll just plod on to the big blue, nice little rest spot please come out, there he is, little Robert, he's gone in there, where have you gone, little matey, robbing just flew straight past me, landed on path in front of me and it's dipped in there, a glorious sight and a sign to dig deep, I'm glad if that was my robbing that he just secretly followed me and then he knew that he just wanted to give me a little bit of a pep, pep me up, that's what I'm going to think, that's the narrative I'm going to paint and there's nothing anyone can do or say that can, hey, look you can see to monument, look on top of there, so I've come down through these woods into the valley then up this other side and we're making our way up to the top of here, you can see despite the hardened rubberized handle that your man's put on, are you woman, over the years people's hands have gone here and you can see the beautiful coloration there, you may be caught because of the light, can you see it there, some lovely coloration going into it and I really, oh, lets you know it's there, classic, North Yorkshire moors does it again, look at the size of these slabs man, look at them, absolute weapon, imagine getting that, imagine having to lay that, respect, a few hundred meters down there's another half of it and they're stopping to smell the roses, are you doing the cleave them way, no I don't really come round this way too often so I just rambling, alright cool, enjoy, oh god medic, I don't know who's at, is it just a sheer drop, oh that's giving me, can't lie, wee, what a place, you can see Rosby Topping's head poking up over in the distance, adding to me ADHD or whether it's just that I'm a a goon or whatever but I can't stand, if I stand too close to an edge or something alright my brain starts saying throw yourself off and not in like a somber like I've had enough of life, see you later, it's just like an intrusive thought that just says what if, like I overthink I'm like what would happen if my body, if I just went wee, like even just to tease myself like go on and then like my brain would throw me over edge just to sort of see what had happened, so I get all them thoughts rushing through me and I'm like well I'll get away from edge mate, if your brain sends you over as a joke that's gone too far, call this fireweed, beautiful actually, beautiful colours on it, this is what happens when you don't have a lot of human interaction and you're a bit tired isn't it, some bloke came past, he was on a bike and he was coming past and I was like ready to give it, I'll do because that's what, that's one of my onesies, I'll do, how do you do, so locked and loaded with how do in back at noodle giving it ready for, ready, ready for how do, sorted and then he hit me with his own how do, he went how do, I was like I forgot where I am, I mean how do land, the land of how do, like normally how do, you can go far afield on your hikes and you give it an how do in the light, hello whatever, so I had how do locked in and he hit me with his how do, how do can, he got me with how do can, first at a split second and I changed it to like as I was going to say my how do, how do, I wanted then to say all good because if he, if he just said how do I'd be like all good mate, or all good whatever and it just ended up coming out, what was it, it was how, how good, I just, it sounded like a baby, it was like how do and I went how go, I know, how, how do and I just went how, it was a mixture between how and all, it's a howl go, howl go is what I said to him, how do mate, howl go, he just thinking oh that what is that lollipop lady, lollipop lad, lollipop lads being on mushies or something, howl go, my lady, not much else to report, in the end of the day yesterday I was, I was so out of my head, I couldn't string a thought together, it was like a chaotic soup in my mind, just little mantras of like negative stuff or stuff that didn't make sense or you know like oh it's so hot just mad and then mad stuff just thinking crazy thoughts because my head was boiled but today with it being cooler, I've eased into it a little bit more and I'm very much more lucid, I know I've just told that guy hagu or whatever hagu can but I feel a lot more lucid and my thoughts are more my own and it's meditative man, it's a journey and I'm enjoying the journey, still doing it, I ain't got as much chat on the way back but still doing it, the sky looks like it's gonna threaten in a little bit to to rain, that would be an absolute joy, I think the hull, I know the hull of Yorkshire at least would be very very appreciative of a bit of downpour for everyone's gardens and for the wildlife, oh this is a beautiful little spot look, I was thinking it was going to go down into civilization but looks like we've got a lot more to go yet, that's a little bit of grass to camp on whoa look at that, not bad there's a mist, sorry there's a mist just on the horizon so I don't want to call the sea yet because if it isn't it's demoralising it for that, oh that's the sea that's going, it just turns out to be a misty bunch of fields, it's not good for morale, yesterday was probably the hardest day of hiking I've ever done and that includes ever everything, if I think about it really tough man, really tough thought, at one point I thought I'm gonna have to get medicked off the side of this, like I want to get medicked out of here, can you imagine that, the ultimate medic, just close channel down, delete Instagram, keep Facebook so I can keep in touch with people I've never seen in real life from school, yeah it would have been humiliating airlifted, airlifted off with heat stroke, no water just a little crispy little pork scratching of a man with a lollipop lad at on, airlifted off in a big bag, like just a big they come down with a big empty, like an oversized empty bag of pork scratchings and they just pick me up with one of them little crane grabbers you get down to our kids to win a toy, just crispy little pop mint bag off he goes, laughing stock, goes up there done it, let's have a check, right map check because I'm not getting caught out here, that looks like is it that one pointing up there or is it that one meaning straightforward, got the old Harvey map out, I'm not best pleased with Harvey map for telling me there was a cafe there and there wasn't but we're forgiving each other now, that path takes me down there I don't want to go down there so it is slightly right and then up around this wood and then we're into some sort of civilisation, I found the mother lord of wild raspberries but it's you know how deep is that I just need to get a good base so that I can get tucked in to these raspberries, yes we're in look at this, I've only had chicken soup all day sir, oh my word, right look at them all, I'm filling my boots, there you see our little tracks with trials bikes, then people have put rocks on our posts that one doesn't have one, you know what else do look, hold on then let's sort that out shall we there you go, so you don't feel left out mate, because all your other mates have got stones on them, all of them, all of them literally all of them, that's good whatever nine miles to Killdale so two miles, three miles, I did about four, four or five before that so I've done let's say 14 miles, 14 mile day, 14 miles so far, ready, I was coming through them woods and I could smell proper fire, not like a campfire but like a proper fire and I've got up to the top and that wood is on fire and you've got the fire brigade trying to do a bit look there with loads loads of people behind him remember this word there's a big fire engine and it was having fires at this time like when it's the heat wave don't bother in fact don't bother in summer having a wild fire you shouldn't really unless you really really careful and you really know what you're doing now that now that there's more you know there's about 12 here watching or whatever I have to just be I have to just keep it real don't I and I'll say don't bother don't bother having fires in summer at all especially when there's a heat wave and then it's summer to look forward to because people are like oh can't you do your bush crafting videos and stuff I'm like not in summer mate because I've I've I sort of take summer off out of the woods because the fire just doesn't make sense unless I'm going out specifically to cook something then it just doesn't make sense to have a fire because it's not cold enough it's you don't really need it so it's only on special occasions that I'll use a fire in summer but just let you know then then then autumn you can look forward to autumn when it's when the when the fire is needed when it's going to provide you with light and warm how do you reckon it was caused well it's been a deep seat it fired for about three weeks oh really underground and you sprung up it's a lot of peaking ground so it just burns and smolders and then we go a few days like this and it just catches on and it's away how could that have started at the beginning do you mind me doing that that's not for us to say that for other people to investigate that's for someone else to investigate because that's hearsay isn't it they can't be for their jobs just we can't we can't blame people that's it their jobs just to put the fire out so be you know just be cautious when you're having your fires off licking your tabs and that don't even bother this time of year when it's like this don't even bother have a salad don't cook anything on there well we've had two fires we've been on two fires in two days one was 10,000 square meters wow this is about 20 but wildlife and stuff that just came annihilated yeah right there you go you've heard it from horses well you've heard it from me he just had to put fires out but now you watch your name mate Neil nice one Neil i'll get knuckles Neil nice one man good lad right all right yeah take it easy see you later there you go look good old Neil there Shaquillo Neil giving it um so that's three weeks that's been burning underground so that's that's summer isn't it you don't realize so this let this just be a little no a little bit of a thing for you that if you're out in woods and you're having your fires and you you're squaring it when you think you're doing okay i mean look at all this smoldering down here as well um you know you think you've left no trace and everything's cool but if you're new to it and you don't know you might have just had that fire on some really peaty ground you've set underneath the ground on fire you've thought you've put your what the surface out and you've gone off on your merry way and that's kept on smoldering under the ground for three weeks until a bit of hot and dry weather has just made it erupt and then you've got you know there's all that woodland on fire and it's all around here as well i can see it oh my word because once they once it goes it goes then you know your pine trees and your conifers it's all fat wood isn't it just once it goes it goes man so yeah be mindful of it guys be mindful of it and shout out man like Neil and the rest of them not chucking allegations just getting on with it putting fires out and doing the job respect don't know if you can see it on here but there she is can smell it man the wind's coming in off the sea carrying that sea air i can see it man made it to the sea well i can see the sea we've not made it to it but still little things in it little things little little things that put spring in the step and seeing the sea has given me a little spring i want to do a spring because i couldn't potentially break my ankle i'm feeling pretty weak speed kina feeling pretty weak it's it's like half five or something um and i'm just i'm just rolling on like a soup and a slack handful of raspberries so i'm a bit weak feel a bit weak weakened and hungry hostels bmbs things like that i'll never rule them out if they i never plan in advance but if it comes to it and i'm tired and i see one and it's reasonable i mean makes it more fun adventurous and if not i'll get some of the tweet and then keep walking a little bit find somewhere to pitch the wig one spot on me right foot feels it's like it's going to explode there you go look just water off it are you having that nail i mean a place called skelton about a mile and a half away from my destination but they had a co-op so i was like right i'm going to have to fill up here with some treats got some roasted chickpea and paprika hummus with some barbecue chicken slices and some watermelon and a bag of crisps that is a dip the crisps and the chicken in the hummus melon after that'll get me to the seaside medic so i've got lost in this rabbit rabbit warren of ousies uh got to where i wanted to be and it's closed off because to build in this new estate so i asked a fellow and he said come on we're around here apparently i've got to go down here it says it's a dead end but then he says there's a way you can get into woods and uh on the top two um to salt then so we'll see but anyone who's doing this be aware that that's the script pleased to see you why right over it it's pointless a bit high up for a door need some ladders unless that's his window and that's the darling i can't see have you done that respect looks like a little dryad saddle late in season but yeah finally 52 miles right 52 miles in two days to pull it back after the shocking start in the heat wave i fell behind and i said to myself don't matter we'll do it in but as an extra day no pressure i aren't trying to break any records or break myself but if it's 52 miles from here and i've got two days and whatever i do today right cleave them way why are you taking me up that hill that just doesn't seem right it doesn't seem right you know all right but i'll do it i'm going to go for it thing is i could get here now and bat on shave a few miles off maybe do five miles tonight nice five mile and then that's massively reduced the the what am i talking just waffling about now i'm sorry um i'll get to where i'm going first i get to see and then we'll decide look at this mate i've just got this i've haggled them down look at it look at this i think they've got a bar look at that i don't belong in here do i all right day three we're up we're uh we're rejuvenated we're back on the game we're looking for water we hike i see some decent birds and wildlife and this is the times are good we hit this road we're coming to kill dale is it yeah kill dale and look on here cafe look sort it out they want a cafe there's nothing here for anyone who's coming down there's toilets but the dirt it's it's difficult to get your water filled up and stuff so maybe you can have you can use the bathroom whatever but there isn't these amenities like it says on here so just be aware of that if you're going to use the harvey map the climb out was pretty brutal but i was in good spirits up here onto the top of the moorland and to the captain cook monument which was cool to see that after it being such a little dot in my mind in my in my noggin bollocks from the day before cruise down here this is where i stopped for someone to eat just here um of the carpark came up here saw me robbing around here i think that sorted me out and this is where you can either go from here you can either go to the top of the rosby topping have a quick look i didn't bother with that i just cracked on and away and now i can't quite remember made what this all was there's some nice woodland bits through gisborne woods and then i don't know that yeah through the um through the biking bit the motorbike section i got lost is it is it here yeah i did have come down here and then i got lost got a bit lost ended up going down this road and then double back i thought all right okay okay came through here skeleton is where i got some grub and then but i've batted on kept going energized off my grub nothing's got to stop me here i go i kept going and then bosh there i am salt burn in some digs is where i stayed in some digs i'm in the digs recharge my batteries rest my legs and get ready for the coastal part that is a halfway point
