About
What began as a lockdown creative outlet has quietly evolved into one of the UK's most successful travel media operations. Tim Lindon, the creator behind "Walk With Me Tim," has transformed simple coastal walking videos into a multi-platform brand specializing in unique and luxury hotel experiences. With over 830,000 subscribers, he charted a course from the shores of Norfolk to the most exclusive resorts on the planet.
Walk With Me Tim: From Redundant Radio Presenter to 830K YouTube Subscribers
Born circa 1979, Tim Lindon spent two decades on the east Norfolk coast and worked as a TV and Radio Broadcaster, including at "The Beach" radio station. In early 2020, he was made redundant from a radio job in Lowestoft. On April 20, 2020, during the first UK COVID-19 lockdown, he created the channel (initially "Walk With Me"), filming narrated walking tours of Norfolk coastal towns — Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, Cromer — on a mobile phone. By July 4, 2020, the Eastern Daily Press covered the channel at nearly 200,000 views.
As the world reopened, ambitions grew. He earned a Silver Creator Award (100K subscribers). On January 9, 2022, his son Casper was born after an eight-year IVF journey with his wife Gaby — a story they shared publicly to raise awareness.
Walk With Me Tim Content: Three Phases — Lockdown Walks to Luxury Hotels to "Worst-Rated" Reviews
Phase 1 (2020): Raw, narrated walking tours sharing local scenery and history. Phase 2 (2021-2022): The signature "worst-rated hotels" series. Stays at the Adelphi (Liverpool) and Sachas (Manchester) became viral hits, covered by The Mirror. Phase 3 (2023-present): Luxury hotel reviews — from overwater villas in the Maldives to high-end London boutique hotels. This pivot opened premium sponsorship opportunities while maintaining audience loyalty through honest, candid reviews.
How Walk With Me Tim Makes Money
Revenue includes YouTube AdSense, hotel sponsorships and hosted stays (disclosed transparently), brand partnerships, and a growing presence on platforms like Instagram and TikTok for short-form clips that drive YouTube traffic.
