    Earlier this year I set off from Settle Junction with the aim of walking alongside the S&C all the way to Carlisle (many thanks @ragl for highlighting this on here a few weeks ago). I have done this before, 30 years ago, but this time, with the advances of video technology since then, I thought I'd record it and share it with others who may be interested in my journey. Travelling on the line is great (and I catch the train back at the end of each leg), but I think the best way to see the route and its many structures as fully as possible is to walk it.

    The first 4 legs are available on YouTube, taking me as far as Appleby. The episodes are roughly 30 minutes long each, which might sound long, but each day's walking was about 7-8 hours, so they are very much condensed down to the highlights.

    Leg 1: Settle Junction to Ribblehead


    Leg 2: Ribblehead to Garsdale


    Leg 3: Garsdale to Kirkby Stephen


    Leg 4: Kirkby Stephen to Appleby
