TIM BAKER

00:00.000 –> 00:19.000
Well, I’m on my way. I’m probably here from the train.
00:19.000 –> 00:31.000
And yet I’ve started my trip, my jaunt. But, of course, as usual, train problems every time.
00:31.000 –> 00:35.000
It’s always, it’s the hot weather. It’s a heat wave coming.
00:35.000 –> 00:38.000
Of course, that means the trains are delayed.
00:38.000 –> 00:44.000
So, and I just literally, by five minutes, missed my faster train.
00:44.000 –> 00:54.000
So, over an hour, I’ll wait at Woking, which I was going to take the slow train to Winchester and wait there.
00:54.000 –> 00:58.000
But actually, the train was packed and I wanted to record with the podcast. Hello.
00:58.000 –> 01:08.000
This is the first one. And, yeah, last year was the same problems.
01:08.000 –> 01:17.000
I think I had one journey from Weymouth. And it coming back wasn’t a complete nightmare.
01:17.000 –> 01:27.000
But the reason why I chose to go today, even though I’m going to arrive there about seven o’clock, which is a bit later than I really wanted,
01:27.000 –> 01:34.000
is that there’s a heat wave coming. The first two degrees tomorrow is 29 today.
01:34.000 –> 01:38.000
And that’s a lot for the UK, centigrade.
01:38.000 –> 01:44.000
And also, there’s Boomtown Festival on, which I don’t really know about, which is in Winchester.
01:44.000 –> 01:48.000
And also, I looked at the weather worst of the campsite, and they were available tonight.
01:48.000 –> 01:54.000
And they’re not available for the next couple of days after, which I think is bullshit.
01:54.000 –> 01:57.000
I think they’re thinking of people with massive tents and cars and shit.
01:57.000 –> 02:02.000
Where actually, I’ve got a one-man tent. I can go anywhere.
02:02.000 –> 02:06.000
So, eventually we’ll make it down there.
02:06.000 –> 02:12.000
It’s 4.30 on Wednesday.
02:12.000 –> 02:15.000
And, yeah, eventually we’ll make it.
02:15.000 –> 02:22.000
As you can see, the image I took before the…
02:22.000 –> 02:28.000
On the episode, you can see is my rucksack, which is incredibly heavy.
02:28.000 –> 02:32.000
Way too heavy.
02:32.000 –> 02:34.000
And I have to walk two miles on the coast with that.
02:34.000 –> 02:38.000
So that’s probably gonna kill me, although at least it’ll be in the evening, so it’ll be cooler.
02:38.000 –> 02:48.000
So anyway, we’re looking right.
02:48.000 –> 02:53.000
I hope to get there at some point, but I just decided to go.
02:53.000 –> 02:59.000
It was just like, I need to go now. I can’t wait around.
02:59.000 –> 03:08.000
Because of those reasons, and just because it’s the 10th of August.
03:08.000 –> 03:12.000
And campsite I’m gonna go to doesn’t close as on the 29th.
03:12.000 –> 03:15.000
I also got all the strikes as well.
03:15.000 –> 03:20.000
Next week’s got a lot of train strikes, so it was like, let’s go. Let’s do it.
03:20.000 –> 03:23.000
Even though I’m gonna be… I usually want to get there before the bus,
03:23.000 –> 03:27.000
because there’s a bus that runs up towards the campsite in Waymouth,
03:27.000 –> 03:32.000
Uli’s Farm, which hopefully I will get to today.
03:32.000 –> 03:37.000
And not have to camp on some headland, which is an option.
03:37.000 –> 03:44.000
Because I have a small tent and it’s green, so I could wild camp if I have to, but I’d rather not.
03:44.000 –> 03:50.000
But yes, we will hopefully make there tonight.
03:50.000 –> 03:55.000
And I might do another podcast tonight when I’ve got everything set up.
03:55.000 –> 04:02.000
Unless I die of a key exhaustion and exhaustion on some headland somewhere.
04:02.000 –> 04:15.000
Anyway, we’ll speak to you soon.

00:00.000 –> 00:20.680
It’s one o’clock, I mean 1pm, and I’m just past Osmington Mills and the what I called
00:20.680 –> 00:26.520
Smugglers Cove, which I did a couple of paintings last year. I didn’t know there was a wreck.
00:26.520 –> 00:32.400
It seems to be, I think, maybe quite an old wreck, although it’s partly steel, on the beach,
00:32.400 –> 00:41.840
further past. So I did a quick drawing of that, which probably will be in the description,
00:41.840 –> 00:49.960
unless I do some nails, or post it on the Instagram. But it’s just too hot. I mean,
00:49.960 –> 00:56.320
there are not many occasions where it has been too hot for drawing. I went out during the first
00:56.320 –> 01:01.600
heatwave, and it was 36 degrees, and it was, even though I was sitting in the shade, which I’m not
01:01.600 –> 01:11.080
here, which is part of the problem. It’s just too hot to draw, just because you’re just trying to
01:11.080 –> 01:19.000
draw and you’re feeling like you’re burning. But yeah, this drawing is a new medium, which I’ve
01:19.000 –> 01:27.080
just got just before I left. I did some portrait work in it. I was going to do this portrait,
01:27.080 –> 01:32.120
but the portrait thing was closed. So I’ve done some experimental abstracts with it,
01:32.120 –> 01:39.920
but this is really the first time I’ve used it in anger. And it’s Lyra, you know, the large,
01:39.920 –> 01:47.760
chunky, graphite crayons that Lyra does, which I’ve been using a bit for the life drawing. I
01:47.760 –> 01:52.840
think Robin has them. What I didn’t know is there’s water soluble ones, which are very similar in
01:52.840 –> 01:57.680
some senses to the woody pencils, but are different in others because they’re more graphite based.
01:57.680 –> 02:03.560
But they do the same sort of thing that they’re kind of, unlike the graphite, they’re pretty much
02:03.560 –> 02:12.480
locked in when you’ve applied the water and the very, yeah, the very sort of, so they’re not the
02:12.480 –> 02:17.760
same thing where you can rub them out afterwards and do stuff like that. But I’ve got some normal
02:17.760 –> 02:24.200
ones as well. And so I did a sort of a quick thing because, yes, I know it seems to be a
02:24.200 –> 02:30.960
coming theme for all these quick works, which is annoying, but I, seriously, I need to go and sit
02:30.960 –> 02:36.640
down the sheet. You know, it just happens to me these are the hottest, not the hottest days of the
02:36.640 –> 02:44.240
year, but, you know, I don’t know what it is now. It’s must be top 20s. And even with a bit of a
02:44.240 –> 02:48.040
breeze, and even though I doused myself with water, I’ve been dousing myself with water,
02:48.040 –> 02:56.400
you know, because I’m wearing my sort of recycled polyester. I can’t remember the name of the
02:56.400 –> 03:08.160
company, was it 10, 10, 10, not 10 city, 10 way, 10, 10 tree, that was it, 10 tree. And it’s a really
03:08.160 –> 03:16.280
nice sort of cotton, recycled polyester shirt. And I know polyester, evil, but for walking and
03:16.280 –> 03:21.400
for camping is the coolest and the lightest and the easy to wash and the quick dry and that sort
03:21.400 –> 03:28.640
of stuff. So I’ve been basically using that by dousing this with water at a campsite and then
03:28.640 –> 03:38.640
also at the smuggler’s inn. And it’s just so cooling to get the, you know, as that dries, it
03:38.640 –> 03:42.520
just, you know, the wind, it just is really nice cooling, although it’s horrible when you first
03:42.520 –> 03:47.920
bought it. I learned that yesterday when I did a cold shower and I stepped in it with the nice
03:47.920 –> 03:53.040
shirt on, it’s partly to wash it and then I was like, Oh, no, this is really nice. So that helps,
03:53.040 –> 04:01.560
but seriously, yeah, this is too hot this middle of the day to do this, to do this shirt. Yeah,
04:01.560 –> 04:12.040
so, but I’m going to keep walking on. I’ve decided to walk onto the, as far as I can, I won’t get
04:12.040 –> 04:18.040
into some like Durdle Door, connected to Durdle Door. I think that’s like, well, I thought it was 10 miles
04:18.040 –> 04:22.480
from Norlworth to Weymouth. I might have been wrong when I first did it a long time ago,
04:22.480 –> 04:32.080
but it is six or eight miles and something like that. I think it might be further. So I probably
04:32.080 –> 04:36.760
won’t, but I’m going to go as far as I can. Certainly to the headland you saw in the first
04:36.760 –> 04:44.680
painting I did from the campsite. That’s not too far away. So I’m going to go and see that headland.
04:44.680 –> 04:50.600
That was one of the ones I wanted to go and see. If I get the name of it, I will probably title it
04:50.600 –> 04:59.680
or mention in the future podcast what the name of that headland is, but it is a good, I’ve painted
04:59.680 –> 05:07.880
it a few times. I really do like it, so it will be nice to see it from on top of it. So, yes, speak
05:07.880 –> 05:16.560
too soon. Smuggler’s path to White Nothe, or is it Nothe? Undercliff. Steep hazardous route,
05:16.560 –> 05:23.840
yeah, I wouldn’t be taking that one. I’m currently on the, the place I drew in my first drawing,
05:23.840 –> 05:30.520
I’m actually standing on it at the moment, and hopefully not getting too much wind. And it’s,
05:30.520 –> 05:41.000
there’s a, I assume, another one of the century pillboxes that were in brick, a double decker
05:41.000 –> 05:47.400
one. I’ve seen a few of those on the route. So I’ve walked from Eweleaze through Osmington Mills,
05:47.400 –> 05:59.000
or otherwise known as Westman? in was, or is, I had a drink there, through Ringstead. And up
05:59.000 –> 06:05.800
here, it’s, I don’t know, maybe, I would say three or four miles, but it feels like much more
06:05.800 –> 06:11.640
because of this heat. But it’s sort of, we get your breeze now and it’s much cooler. And I left
06:11.640 –> 06:17.760
with a dilemma, because it’s nearly five o’clock, I’ve got two options. I either keep walking to
06:17.760 –> 06:23.880
Littleworth Cove and get the bus there, which is three and a half miles, or I walk two, a bit over
06:23.880 –> 06:31.680
two miles in land and get the bus, the same bus, I think, or I should know another bus, there,
06:31.680 –> 06:38.120
about the same sort of time. And I don’t know which one to do, it’s always a dilemma with these
06:38.120 –> 06:44.120
trips that, you know, you get to a certain point, and you’re like a break point, and you’re like,
06:44.120 –> 06:49.880
well, I can either go inland, and it’s miles inland for the road, for the bus, or I can keep
06:49.880 –> 06:55.920
going. And I keep thinking, if it’s only three and a half miles, although I know it’s a Durdle Door
06:55.920 –> 07:03.400
I have walked to the other side of that, and the downside of it, because I stayed at the
07:03.400 –> 07:12.080
campsite, I do know that bit can be quite up and downy, but it’d be nice to do it. And although I
07:12.080 –> 07:20.080
did it before the other direction years ago, let’s get it done, and see, you know, kind of like
07:20.080 –> 07:26.120
go through and see if I want to come back here, and, you know, walk from the road and continue
07:26.120 –> 07:34.440
or, you know, where I’d like to do some more work. I have done two pieces today, the shipwreck one, I mentioned,
07:34.440 –> 07:42.920
and there’s another one in the St. Catharines, which is near Ringstead, the St. Catharines church,
07:42.920 –> 07:50.400
it’s very rich, a sailors church, it’s sort of reminds me of sailors church, it’s a wooden black,
07:50.400 –> 07:57.680
sort of blackboard bill, we don’t have many of those churches, it’s like a temporary church, look
07:57.680 –> 08:04.960
inside, but they have an amazing view from the cemetery, which is of the White Nothe. I assume
08:04.960 –> 08:12.480
it’s Nothe, like Nose, but it might be White Nothe, but I think it’s probably Nose. It’s about N-O-T-H-E,
08:12.480 –> 08:20.600
and that’s, I’ve drawn it a few times, I did know the name of it, and I’ve forgotten it, and yeah, I did a
08:20.600 –> 08:26.440
paint stick piece of that, and it turns out, heat exhaustion and exhaustion and all that walking
08:26.440 –> 08:33.480
isn’t really good for my outline, I was just so, so tired, I was actually falling asleep while doing it,
08:33.480 –> 08:39.760
so that’s why I’ve got this dilemma of whether to walk back on the easy track, or whether I go
08:39.760 –> 08:45.320
further to Lulworth, you know, because like two miles versus three and a half is not a massive
08:45.320 –> 08:49.960
difference, it was about two and a half, probably now from here, so it’s two miles from where it was,
08:49.960 –> 08:57.920
and I’ve walked a mile to Nose, so it’s probably about the same really, and I don’t know, I mean
08:57.920 –> 09:03.960
like, there is stuff at Lulworth’s, there is, you know, I know I could get a taxi there if I have to,
09:03.960 –> 09:10.800
I’d rather not, but there are buses from there, although there’s the main road, which I’ve never
09:10.800 –> 09:17.040
gone that way, but it’s shorter, that’s why I’m thinking of going for the road, you know, or the
09:17.040 –> 09:22.920
path you know, I say not been along there a long time, but I did it in seven hours, as I mentioned
09:22.920 –> 09:30.640
before, it’s only 10 miles, and I was right, it was only about 10 miles to Lulworth, to Weymouth,
09:30.640 –> 09:37.880
what Google doesn’t know is about the up and down, and I think that section has quite a lot
09:37.880 –> 09:47.920
of up and down, so yes, I’m not sure, yes, I’ll let you know, what would you want to choose,
09:47.920 –> 10:16.400
if I suddenly post the podcast, you know, anyway. Well, it’s 10 to 8 on a Saturday in the morning,
10:16.400 –> 10:27.040
and yeah, that was a very bad decision I made right at the end of that last piece. Well,
10:27.040 –> 10:32.240
I got a very good watercolour, a reasonable watercolour, the workup to press I’ve been doing
10:32.240 –> 10:40.200
haven’t really been happy with, the first drawing okay, and this new watercolour, which will be the
10:40.200 –> 10:49.720
episode art, is more what I want to do, or you know, it was more you know, it was like yes,
10:49.720 –> 10:59.920
this is it. The problem is, I did it on the way to Lulworth, and it took longer than I expected,
10:59.920 –> 11:06.560
so then I suddenly had to rush to trying it to Lulworth, and I’ve forgotten how bad those
11:06.560 –> 11:12.880
hills are between White Nothe, or no, I just had a woman say it was last night, White Nothe,
11:12.880 –> 11:21.240
I think it’s White Nothe, I didn’t know how to pronounce it, and the piece is called Uppe Downey,
11:21.240 –> 11:26.440
because I call those bits of Uppe Downey, it’s only about four of them, but they’re so exhausting,
11:26.440 –> 11:33.280
and I did one of them, and I sort of went down one of them, and I was like, I can’t make this,
11:33.280 –> 11:42.200
I can’t do this, my legs went to jelly, which I’ve never done before, and I was like, oh no,
11:42.200 –> 11:50.040
and so I had to kind of retrace my steps back, which meant I missed the bus, and then so I walked
11:50.040 –> 11:55.240
to Ringstead Beach thinking, oh well I don’t know if it’s a kiosk, is it, probably not,
11:55.240 –> 12:00.440
but there’ll be people around there, I can find a taxi, of course they get to Ringstead,
12:00.440 –> 12:08.720
the signal is very spotty, sort of, not just internet signal, but just general signal,
12:08.720 –> 12:13.840
I got through to one person who said, oh no, I’m all in the wear room, and of course it’s Friday
12:13.840 –> 12:20.440
night, and then got cut off before I could ask him, you know, do you know anywhere else,
12:20.440 –> 12:26.960
and there’s a kind, that’s one person they had no fucking clue, they were like, oh I don’t from here,
12:26.960 –> 12:31.120
it was like, oh great, and you hovered and went, I asked someone else, happened to be a local,
12:31.120 –> 12:36.560
a woman, and they were really good, and they gave me a number, and then I couldn’t get through,
12:36.560 –> 12:43.120
and they gave me a lift, even though they were from Winfrey’s area, they gave me a lift to the
12:43.120 –> 12:49.320
other direction to Eweleaze, and if it wasn’t for them, the whole night would have been a lot more
12:49.320 –> 12:57.040
stressful than it was, because I assumed, rather dumbly, that I could just call a taxi, and not too
12:57.040 –> 13:05.160
far from Winfrey’s, yes, so I don’t usually do that, by the way, I tried to avoid that,
13:05.160 –> 13:10.840
but I just got to the point where, usually I would just walk home, and you just go, well,
13:10.840 –> 13:17.480
it’s gonna be painful, but no, because of that jelly leg thing, I was like, no I can’t do it,
13:17.480 –> 13:25.240
I just can’t walk any further, I just know, I can’t do that, I can’t walk for three or four miles,
13:25.240 –> 13:31.640
across the coast, which is not that strenuous as all the other stuff, and it’s quite, you know,
13:31.640 –> 13:39.400
compared to that bit, and the bit around the moob, and yeah, and it’s kind of thrown a
13:39.400 –> 13:44.920
spanner in the works, because, you know, I’m heading towards Golden Cap and Lyme Regis,
13:44.920 –> 13:48.520
and it might be just because I hadn’t built up to it, because the last time I did all this
13:49.640 –> 13:56.120
cliff-walking was October, then August was the first lot, you know, I probably tried to exert
13:56.120 –> 14:03.160
myself too early on, but it is a bit like, oh, if I can’t do that bit, because that bit was beautiful,
14:03.160 –> 14:07.000
the bit that, you know, and I was like, I really want to do draw or paint this bit,
14:07.640 –> 14:14.280
but I might try the lower direction, see that’s a bit less extreme, but even so, because I know
14:14.280 –> 14:20.120
the steps of the Durdle Door are quite easy, you know, so there’s lots of them, and it’s a bit tiring,
14:20.120 –> 14:26.120
but it’s not too bad, because of these big steps, but the bit after Durdle Door, I didn’t walk that way
14:26.120 –> 14:34.760
much when I was there last year, so probably, I think remembering it was really hardcore,
14:36.040 –> 14:43.160
so yeah, so today is a easy day, low, low, unfortunately I can’t do no walking, but
14:43.160 –> 14:53.000
it’s a low walking day, and yeah, the piece I did was, what I’ll be downing is on artistico paper,
14:53.720 –> 15:04.680
so smaller, and I used the Swan Fountain Pen, one of the Swan Fountain Pen, the 1930s,
15:04.680 –> 15:15.720
I’ve got a, it’s one of these few pens I have that’s actually properly refurbished,
15:15.720 –> 15:25.800
rather than refurbished by me, and it’s sort of a dark red burgundy color, and yeah, and then
15:25.800 –> 15:31.400
watercolor on that, don’t go very quickly, but I like the looseness of it, it’s not too,
15:31.400 –> 15:36.520
it’s not, not horrible, whereas the stuff I’ve been doing the last three, the first piece was
15:36.520 –> 15:40.760
quite good, then the two pieces of that, which I mentioned in the previous sections,
15:42.360 –> 15:51.080
were okay, you know, but you know, not, not what, more sort of in between pieces of the
15:51.080 –> 15:55.720
painting pieces, terrible, and I’m not going to post a picture of that, I might do it on Instagram,
15:55.720 –> 16:05.000
but yeah, so today you might see some social media posts and me sitting around, I haven’t
16:05.000 –> 16:11.080
had my coffee yet, I’m actually sitting away from the tent in the breeze, because you know,
16:11.080 –> 16:16.520
unfortunately my tent can’t cope with the breeze, but I was working with the 730 by the sun clock
16:17.720 –> 16:22.040
boiling the tent, even though there’s lovely breeze, and it’s actually quite cold on the breeze,
16:22.040 –> 16:26.680
but I have to have the tent slightly out the breeze, otherwise it just, just flaps all night,
16:26.680 –> 16:31.960
and I can’t get to sleep, and we’ve got ants, we had an ant invasion last night, which again,
16:31.960 –> 16:36.840
after all the other stuff that’s happened, you know, being tired, I want to get asleep,
16:36.840 –> 16:44.840
and then I have to try and, you know, turf ants out of the tent, and they unfortunately glommed
16:44.840 –> 16:50.040
on to where, I don’t know if there’s an ant’s nest nearby, or I don’t think I’m on an ant’s nest,
16:50.040 –> 16:56.600
but it’s possible, but they glommed on to the, where the food was, and the shade, so I can’t
16:56.600 –> 17:01.000
have the food in the, you know, onto the tent, by the tent, shade, and know how to move it away,
17:01.000 –> 17:06.840
and that seems to have made them go away, but unfortunately, even though the tent zipped up,
17:06.840 –> 17:12.120
because my solar power thing goes out the tent there, even though it’s slightly zipped up,
17:12.120 –> 17:17.720
because someone got in, but luckily there were the smaller ones, not the big soldier ants,
17:17.720 –> 17:23.560
which are the ones that are more bitey, but still, like, seriously, last night, I was like,
17:23.560 –> 17:30.520
I just can’t cope with this. Not that I was thinking about boarding the trip, it wasn’t as
17:30.520 –> 17:41.240
bad as John too, but it was just like, seriously, you know, I mean, it was my fault. I forgot how
17:41.240 –> 17:48.440
much, how bad that section is, and how you really have to know what you’re doing with that section.
17:51.720 –> 17:54.680
I mean, it’s not too far from Durdle Door, because I could, I could see in the distance,
17:54.680 –> 18:00.200
in the middle of that painting, you can see several hills, and I recognise them from
18:00.200 –> 18:05.000
painting the way around. I’ve got kind of like the reverse of that from the last trip,
18:05.000 –> 18:12.120
and so I recognise that, I think that’s Durdle Door, so it wasn’t that far,
18:12.760 –> 18:18.840
it was only like three miles, but I could see how up and down it was, and that’s one of the reasons I
18:18.840 –> 18:24.440
was like, oh, I’d better not linger here. Of course I did, doing the painting, and then I was like,
18:25.000 –> 18:29.960
oh, I have, you know, one and a half hours to get there. Crap, that was not enough time,
18:29.960 –> 18:37.800
so it was completely my fault, and then of course it retraced my steps, and then it took me longer.
18:37.800 –> 18:41.160
Partly because I was taking it easier, because I was like, I don’t want that jelly leg thingy, and
18:42.760 –> 18:48.920
no. And then, you know, so by the time I got down there, I was like, I had to then cover
18:49.560 –> 18:53.640
the buses in 20 minutes, it was two miles, but we’ll walk up a track, and I was like,
18:53.640 –> 19:02.520
I’m not going to make that, you know, not even if I’m in sort of good, better health,
19:02.520 –> 19:06.520
would I have done that, but you know, and of course the heat and everything, so yeah, it was just
19:06.520 –> 19:15.800
dumb, very dumb, but thanks to those wonderful people who gave me a lift back to Uli’s farm,
19:15.800 –> 19:24.520
that was just a life-saver really, and I won’t do that again, yeah. I called at the time,
19:24.520 –> 19:30.360
like, oh, not another Old Harry’s Rocks incident, because I stayed too late, Old Harry’s Rocks,
19:30.360 –> 19:35.880
and then had to walk along the roads back about five, six miles, including walking across country,
19:35.880 –> 19:44.120
which I didn’t know, and then I found out the maps lied to about the terrain, and so, you know,
19:44.120 –> 19:50.840
obviously Google Maps doesn’t really tell you the terrain very well, and found out the hard way that
19:50.840 –> 19:56.600
I’m, you know, in doing that, when it’s all dusk or dark, is not a good idea, even with the torch.
19:58.600 –> 20:03.160
So, which I had to stick to the roads, because the roads weren’t too bad, that the roads around here
20:03.160 –> 20:11.880
are unwalkable, because of the traffic, and of course no pavement, so yes, I wouldn’t recommend
20:11.880 –> 20:18.120
walking around sort of the Osmington area on the roads. Little trackways, yes, but the main roads
20:18.120 –> 20:26.440
are new, do not do that. So yes, that’s today. I’m going to head off to, hopefully, I need to,
20:27.080 –> 20:32.680
once I’ve got my shit together, and I’ve actually had my coffee, and I’ve had some food, and I’ve
20:32.680 –> 20:41.880
just kind of eased myself into the day a bit. I’m going to head, if the buses are running today,
20:41.880 –> 20:46.280
which I don’t even know that, I do know there are buses, but I don’t know if they’re running
20:46.280 –> 20:54.920
to Cerne, the Cerne giant, it’s not a tattoo is it, you know, what is it called?
20:56.280 –> 21:01.480
Like the White Horse, sort of the line, hill drawing, hill carving, whatever they’re called.
21:01.480 –> 21:11.000
I’d sit around in the morning to even remember. So, I’ll probably do that. I think it’s
21:11.000 –> 21:16.280
Saturday, the buses should be running, it’s Sunday, so the buses don’t be shared, but yeah, I’ll go to
21:20.760 –> 21:27.160
the train up to Dorchester and then to the bus, before I remember from the last time I was planning
21:27.160 –> 21:33.800
to do this, or just back in October, and to look up what the bus number is and make sure it’s
21:33.800 –> 21:37.000
definitely running and everything. It seemed to be quite a good bus service, actually, up to Cerne.
21:39.080 –> 21:43.000
Weird. Weirdly, I expect it to be shipped, but it’s not. It’s quite a good bus service up there.
21:44.120 –> 21:48.280
So, yeah, 11 minutes, that’s a long podcast with all the things strung together,
21:48.280 –> 21:52.120
sorry about that, but it’s been over several days, and yes,
21:52.120 –> 21:56.360
don’t try and walk too far than what you can
21:56.360 –> 22:01.320
capably do, kids. It’s not a good idea. I’ll speak to you soon.
22:03.240 –> 22:07.640
Oh, and I’ve got to say, I found out what that shipwreck is. Apparently, a coal barge
22:08.840 –> 22:15.080
was shipped wrecked in 1926, and that meant loads of the locals got free coal for ages,
22:15.080 –> 22:23.080
and talking fossil fuels. Where I was at White Nothe, or Nothe, I think it’s Nothe, was
22:25.080 –> 22:33.080
something called a Burning Cliff, which in the 19th century was on fire for three years,
22:33.080 –> 22:46.280
because the natural oil and gas in the Vahils, which we know from Kimmeridge, there was actually an oil
22:46.280 –> 22:53.080
refinery over a oil drilling thing there. Yeah, it burnt for three years, which is where I was
22:53.080 –> 23:06.280
taking the pictures of the bunker right by there. So, yeah, lots of fossil fuel fun.

00:00.000 –> 00:29.480
Graveyards are weird spaces, they’re sort of very liminal and very underutilised.
00:29.480 –> 00:37.560
Victoria times used to be a day trip to go to a cemetery and they were places that were
00:37.560 –> 00:43.760
much visited and much accepted as part of life and death was quite common.
00:43.760 –> 00:53.320
Now death is less common compared to Victoria times, they tend to get abandoned really.
00:53.320 –> 01:03.840
Well this one is fairly well looked after. I’m in St Andrews graveyard or church graveyard
01:03.840 –> 01:14.400
in Preston which is right by Eweleaze farm. Obviously I’m having a sort of a slow day
01:14.400 –> 01:19.840
so I did some shopping. Checked out what’s in Preston, there’s a carp and a spar. Not
01:19.840 –> 01:28.760
much but there is gluten free food here which is like wow, the high life in the car. They’re
01:28.760 –> 01:35.800
quite small so I’m still going to go into a way myth but yeah I saw this church in
01:35.800 –> 01:42.000
distance and it’s a 14th century church on the square, sort of castle like one, very
01:42.000 –> 01:50.120
grey, not a local stone. I don’t think it’s slate but yeah it’s that sort of greyish
01:50.120 –> 01:56.600
colour. I don’t think it’s chalk but you know. It’s interesting that last night I saw chalk
01:56.600 –> 02:14.560
beaches and below on that walk towards Lullworth and a drawing painting I did, watercolour
02:14.560 –> 02:18.600
and it’s a grey, they are grey beaches, it’s meant to be white so it’s actually a grey
02:18.600 –> 02:29.080
colour, so purpley grey. So yeah I’ve drawn the church, I did two drawings, the one that
02:29.080 –> 02:36.600
probably be on this episode is the second one and again with the lyra, again Tim with
02:36.600 –> 02:43.520
the Lyra pencil, lyra crayon but this time it’s a mix of the two, a mix of the graphite,
02:43.520 –> 02:49.040
it’s a drawing in graphite which of course doesn’t dissolve, does slightly but not greatly
02:49.040 –> 02:58.120
and then going over that with the water soluble but I was doing something much more graphic
02:58.120 –> 03:10.520
this time. The first attempt was very sort of, I don’t know, more sort of detailed, you
03:10.520 –> 03:17.040
know, I always struggle with my drawing having something that’s very sort of detail focused
03:17.040 –> 03:20.680
and then I want to do something a bit more, especially with the shadows of this, a bit
03:20.680 –> 03:26.160
more graphic, a bit more solid, a bit more John Piper, yes, back to John Piper again.
03:26.160 –> 03:34.240
Whenever I draw churches there’s always John Piper in the back of my mind and this is that
03:34.240 –> 03:43.040
you know with the very dark, the very dark parts of it and the, you know, trying to use
03:43.040 –> 03:51.520
the washes to sort of suggest the stone detail but not do the, you know, try and draw every
03:51.520 –> 03:55.640
stone which I have done and it’s just like, it’s tiresome and I don’t think it looks
03:55.640 –> 04:06.160
good. So yeah, I’m pretty proud of this one and yeah, the noise you hear is the fact that
04:06.160 –> 04:12.400
the modern graveyards of modern times, the holiday homes, surround this place, they circle
04:12.400 –> 04:24.160
this place and yeah, I was trying, when I was walking up to Preston from Bowleaze I was saying
04:24.160 –> 04:30.760
hello or morning, like you do on the coastal path and not a single person said hello back,
04:30.760 –> 04:35.960
not a little morning, I was just saying, I wasn’t saying like, hello, hello, I was going,
04:35.960 –> 04:43.160
you know, morning, nothing and this is exactly as I find with holiday park people, they are
04:43.160 –> 04:48.960
dead zombies, they are living in a graveyard, it’s an ecological graveyard and they spent
04:48.960 –> 04:55.840
100 grand on a shed, on a posh shed, 80 grand on a posh shed, we still have for only about
04:55.840 –> 05:02.200
a decade or five to ten years and then they’ll get sort of the holiday park to, we’ll try
05:02.200 –> 05:08.840
and tear it down because it’s too old, you know, and it’s just incredibly wasteful and
05:08.840 –> 05:13.400
I do not like, Tim does not like holiday parks and this is partly because of the experience
05:13.400 –> 05:19.200
with John with his two mile bar homes which had this happen to them, he didn’t really
05:19.200 –> 05:24.200
look after them either which wasn’t great but yeah, he had this sort of full closure
05:24.200 –> 05:28.960
thing of oh, we have to upgrade it or, you know, that wasn’t maybe ten years, it was
05:28.960 –> 05:34.120
more like 20 or 30 but it was like, at least one of them wasn’t too bad condition, it could
05:34.120 –> 05:37.280
have been repaired and you know, it’s just wasteful, it’s all like because they make
05:37.280 –> 05:42.360
profit from, they don’t make hardly any profit from renting, what they make profit from is
05:42.360 –> 05:52.080
from a new one and so they force, after about 10, 15, 20 years, the owners to tear it down
05:52.080 –> 05:59.280
and build another one which is incredibly wasteful and as I say, they’re cultural wastelands.
05:59.280 –> 06:07.720
I’ve stayed in holiday parks last time, last two trips and some are okay but Durdle Door’s
06:07.720 –> 06:16.400
horrible, you know, some of them actually had divested themselves of their little tiny
06:16.400 –> 06:22.280
scraps of ten sort of camping land which I said in a previous episode, usually is the
06:22.280 –> 06:26.600
worst, you know, the highest place, the place where no one ever wants to have a mayby home
06:26.600 –> 06:31.560
or woods or birds at shit on your tent and that kind of thing, you know, things like
06:31.560 –> 06:38.320
that but they don’t plant enough trees in those places, there’s no shade, I was walking
06:38.320 –> 06:52.360
up through one to get here and I walked through several actually and yeah, they are like cemeteries
06:52.360 –> 07:01.560
the undead, you know, cultural cemeteries and yeah, the people are, I think, universally
07:01.560 –> 07:08.360
like on the bus going to the park that’s near Eweleaze, one of the ways to get to Eweleaze
07:08.360 –> 07:14.800
is to take the bus to the park and then just walk the short distance.
07:14.800 –> 07:21.840
They’re not friendly, they won’t say hello, they know each other but they won’t say hello
07:21.840 –> 07:30.440
to anyone else, yeah, it’s weird because compared to the locals, the proper locals, like the
07:30.440 –> 07:38.200
people who gave me a lift last night or the people visiting Eweleaze who will chat to you
07:38.200 –> 07:46.520
when you’re washing up and stuff out which is cool, yeah, this is sort of a very stand-offish
07:46.520 –> 07:51.840
situation, it’s actually snobbishness, they won’t talk to you because you’ve got a rucksack
07:51.840 –> 07:58.600
and look scruffy, there’s that or I don’t know you and the thing is it’s not snobbishness
07:58.600 –> 08:05.160
from a class perspective because it’s quite often they are working class or middle, summer
08:05.160 –> 08:10.120
middle class or pretend middle class, low middle class or you know, hatefully looking
08:10.120 –> 08:21.320
down on tuppence, that’s those people and yeah, I find them very weird, anyway, random
08:21.320 –> 08:28.600
but yeah, you’ll find a lot of holiday parks in this part of the world, caravan parks,
08:28.600 –> 08:34.800
mobile home parks, we want to call them and it’s expensive to stay out if you’re camping,
08:34.800 –> 08:40.080
expensive to stay out if you want to rent a holiday home so usually they’re about selling
08:40.080 –> 08:48.520
them and they’re not usually well, you know, I could understand it if there was a decent
08:48.520 –> 08:53.680
shop and decent entertainment, it’s usually a pub and a tiny shop at the best, sometimes
08:53.680 –> 08:59.120
just a tiny shop and I went and took a bullet in today and it felt like a hard thing in
08:59.120 –> 09:04.960
a thing and it’s all like microwave meals and things, no use for any campers, you know,
09:04.960 –> 09:10.960
tins and things like that, which is understandable given the clientele but it’s all, you know,
09:10.960 –> 09:16.960
nothing, I went into one and I asked for parmesan and she looked at me like, oh, you’re posh?
09:16.960 –> 09:25.760
and it was like, you know, parmesan is not posh, oldie has parmesan now, it’s not posh,
09:25.760 –> 09:36.640
yes, but yeah, as I said, my drawing has always been a struggle at full stop because I hate
09:36.640 –> 09:47.480
pencil work, I have a real problem with, because my school work was all in pencil and I was
09:47.480 –> 09:55.160
constantly criticised for the way I draw, I never really liked drawing it, if I’d known
09:55.160 –> 09:58.560
about or had access to, I don’t know if they existed then, they probably did, I think they
09:58.560 –> 10:06.160
were around for a while, the Lyra crayons or the water soluble sort of drawing woody
10:06.160 –> 10:12.640
pencils, you know, that kind of thing, I think I would have felt a lot different but I also
10:12.640 –> 10:19.640
had someone who didn’t teach drawing so badly because my art education was, oh this is getting
10:19.640 –> 10:28.920
very angry, my art education was in some sense good but my early art education, yeah it was
10:28.920 –> 10:34.000
not good because they wanted you to draw like Raphael, they wanted to draw you with confident
10:34.000 –> 10:41.640
flowing lines, you know, this is a very academy approach to it, not the modern sort of thing
10:41.640 –> 10:46.080
where like, oh it’s about mark making and the confidence of the mark but you can make
10:46.080 –> 10:51.280
bold marks, you don’t have to defer to the past and try and do representation, you can
10:51.280 –> 10:57.920
do abstract marks, you can make strong marks or all gentle marks, it’s about the control,
10:57.920 –> 11:02.440
a lot of the training now is about the mark making and the control of mark making, unless
11:02.440 –> 11:11.800
about ideological ideas of representation and copying the old masters but there were
11:11.800 –> 11:18.160
still some of that in my, definitely my GCSE & A level and it got to a point where like,
11:18.160 –> 11:24.920
my drawing isn’t like that, my drawing doesn’t fit into that mould, I am closer to Giacometti
11:24.920 –> 11:30.640
if I’m using a pencil, very sort of scratchy, I used to get criticised for the chicken scratch
11:30.640 –> 11:36.880
of my work, rather than showing me Giacometti and going oh well that’s not wrong, it was
11:36.880 –> 11:42.000
all like oh no I can’t draw like this, I was forcing myself to try and draw like I can’t
11:42.000 –> 11:47.000
draw, well I can draw like that, I have drawn like that, I’ve got drawings in my portfolio
11:47.000 –> 11:52.960
and more recently with carbon pencil which I can draw, I can draw like that, more with
11:52.960 –> 12:03.520
pen but it’s not me in pencil, pencil it’s either yeah sort of bold strokes and something
12:03.520 –> 12:13.360
like this with Lyra or the Woody pencils or it’s more kind of, I would say more structural
12:13.360 –> 12:19.680
or more abstract, more kind of blocking out areas and not so much about detail, I struggle
12:19.680 –> 12:24.800
with detail with pencil but it’s again, I have done it but it’s not, it doesn’t fit
12:24.800 –> 12:32.560
with my style and who I am, I think the crazy thing is we can’t do it, I’m not sure back
12:32.560 –> 12:38.600
then I could, I think I could with given the right medium, if I was working with pen and
12:38.600 –> 12:45.520
I found early on in my A-levels or a bit later in my travels I could draw in pen and that
12:45.520 –> 12:49.600
sort of seemed to work with the more defined things and also some scratchiness as well
12:49.600 –> 12:58.920
but it seemed to work better, pencils tended to come up with a mush and so yeah me in pencils
12:58.920 –> 13:11.240
very comicated but I love these partly because I’m a bit more confident with a brush generally
13:11.240 –> 13:16.280
so I can sort of work, I like jumping between the two modes because if I screw it up a bit
13:16.280 –> 13:24.960
in that I can go oh actually I can then correct it in the other but also you can mix different
13:24.960 –> 13:29.960
techniques in one thing so anyway I think this is probably going to be the, I don’t
13:29.960 –> 13:33.640
know if it’s the only podcast for today but it probably will be, unless I do some more
13:33.640 –> 13:43.320
work then it seems worthy of podcasting but yeah, no I do recommend people going down
13:43.320 –> 13:51.640
to the nearest cemetery and drawing or church and you’ll find that there were incredible
13:51.640 –> 13:57.440
places in Lockdown, they were wondrous places because again this taboo people think they’re
13:57.440 –> 14:01.720
going to catch the death or something or they’ve been watched too many zombie movies and barb
14:01.720 –> 14:05.440
is coming to get you and that sort of stuff, I don’t know it’s a weird one I don’t know
14:05.440 –> 14:12.320
why people just don’t go though because they are wonderfully, well apart from when you
14:12.320 –> 14:18.360
get a hardy part next to it but you know the actual cemetery itself is wonderfully quiet
14:18.360 –> 14:27.000
and yeah there’s no real, there shouldn’t be a hang up about it really, anyway I’ll speak
14:27.000 –> 14:49.160
to you soon.

00:00.000 –> 00:25.200
I’m back at Durdle Door, and I’m having to run for the bus, hence the sound of packing.
00:25.200 –> 00:40.760
I went to podcast earlier, but I only had a few hours to do some work, because it was
00:40.760 –> 00:46.840
supposed to be an easy day today, and then I got bored of hanging around the campsite.
00:46.840 –> 00:54.280
I was like my day off, but I took the bus to Durdle Door and went, well okay, it’s not
00:54.280 –> 01:01.080
that much walking at Durdle Door, and I’ve got that fun walk up that hill, but other
01:01.080 –> 01:10.960
than that it’s not, it’s not the hill I painted, which I think are probably the one I put on
01:10.960 –> 01:20.680
this episode, but yeah, the one I painted was the rivulets of paths running down, that’s
01:20.680 –> 01:29.240
a pretty hardcore one, I remember that one for a long time ago, so people posing for
01:29.240 –> 01:41.600
Bollywood think shots, you’re not a Bollywood star, yeah, Durdle Door is famous for a very
01:41.600 –> 01:47.840
well known Bollywood film, and also I think Midsomer Murders and a few other things I’ve
01:47.840 –> 01:55.760
done stuff here, quite a few, I think quite a few pop videos, so a lot of people come
01:55.760 –> 02:06.120
here, but what was quite concerning about the, when I arrived at the Coast Guard and
02:06.120 –> 02:19.240
the ambulance were here, and what’s even worse is it wasn’t, they weren’t here because of
02:19.240 –> 02:25.000
some event, sorry if I pause it’s because I’m trying to run for my bus without a breath,
02:25.000 –> 02:30.320
but yes it isn’t because of some event, they’re here because with this amount of people on
02:30.320 –> 02:37.440
a heatwave and people don’t bring enough water, people don’t get prepared, people don’t have
02:37.440 –> 02:48.960
the right footwear, people don’t think about the heat, and the Coast Guard had a kind of
02:48.960 –> 02:52.760
sort of a traffic light system on the beach, it was that busy, it might make me all wet
02:52.760 –> 03:01.120
and then one way, then one another way, it’s crazy, when I was here last year it was not
03:01.120 –> 03:06.840
like this, I can’t remember, I think I was here at a weekend, but the weekend was raining,
03:06.840 –> 03:16.200
the thing about Durdle Door is that it’s very changeable weather, you can go from, wow lovely
03:16.200 –> 03:24.800
sunshine to basically a completely white out mist and rain in about half an hour, a lot
03:24.800 –> 03:30.680
of people don’t realise that, I think it was sunny in the video, sunny in the film, so
03:30.680 –> 03:37.720
yeah I did two watercolours, one was a real rush, you can probably hear all the people
03:37.720 –> 03:49.080
behind me, there was a massive rush to do the second one of Durdle Door itself, I actually
03:49.080 –> 03:53.360
spent more time looking in the direction, because that’s what I was more interested
03:53.360 –> 03:59.880
in, I drew one that worked great last time and I didn’t really get to do it this time
03:59.880 –> 04:06.680
because I suppose I did, but it was that quick, is that I didn’t get to do a watercolour
04:06.680 –> 04:14.720
of Durdle Door itself, and this time I did, although it was a half an hour watercolour,
04:14.720 –> 04:20.680
it was like being at portrait sessions or live drawing at every end, it was like can
04:20.680 –> 04:28.520
I do this in just under half an hour, slightly over half an hour, so I think I did a few
04:28.520 –> 04:37.920
mistakes in it, I think I did a very loose interpretation of Durdle Door itself, I might
04:37.920 –> 04:45.040
come back here, certainly when it’s cooler, I might actually come back on the bus from
04:45.040 –> 04:51.320
wherever I am and try and do the walk I couldn’t do in the heat, and take my time over at Get
04:51.320 –> 05:00.920
Here early and just sort of slowly go over the hills like a snail, so, but yeah, I mean
05:00.920 –> 05:07.920
seriously it was, it’s not heat wavy day, I think it was 27, 26 the day, but still,
05:07.920 –> 05:14.720
maybe 28, 100 people in hot countries are like, huh, but yeah, try being on short cliffs
05:14.720 –> 05:22.720
with no shade, no aircon, because no one has an aircon here, buildings that are not designed
05:22.720 –> 05:29.640
for reflecting heat, and tents are not designed for reflecting heat, although it’s a little
05:29.640 –> 05:40.400
bit but not really, so yeah, it’s, you know, it’s humid here, it’s not, I’ve been on the
05:40.400 –> 05:45.800
edge of the Sahara, there’s something close to 40, I’ve been in Athens, Piraeus, when
05:45.800 –> 05:50.640
I hit 40, that’s how I knew it could be dangerous, because people were keeling over left and
05:50.640 –> 05:58.040
right, but yeah, dry heat’s fine, you just make sure you’ve got a lot of water, it’s
05:58.040 –> 06:04.720
the humid heat you have here which just makes it sweltering, so yes, but the view, the other
06:04.720 –> 06:09.120
way I’ll have to look up, I know one of them is the Butter Rock, there’s a little rock
06:09.120 –> 06:12.240
called, I don’t know why it’s called, maybe it looks like a slab of butter, I don’t know,
06:12.240 –> 06:16.280
and then there’s the, I’m not sure if it’s the little door, because I know there’s a
06:16.280 –> 06:26.120
big door, little door, that might be the little door, like a chalk version of Durdle Door,
06:26.120 –> 06:37.720
and the view from the other angle, from where I want to go, to the, you know, that I depicted
06:37.720 –> 06:49.640
not yesterday, but the day before, before I had the leg implosion, or the explosion,
06:49.640 –> 06:53.880
people still heading to Durdle Door, obviously they don’t have to take the right chase for
06:53.880 –> 07:00.280
a bus, so anyway, just walking past the manor’s wall, which is the other bay, that was very
07:00.280 –> 07:08.320
busy as well, I even made a visit to my favourite place, the Durdle Door Holiday Park, which
07:08.320 –> 07:14.520
I, I didn’t blow raspberries at the people there, but I attempted, but I spent the spa
07:14.520 –> 07:24.440
to get a drink, I’m glad I did, especially when I felt the heat on the cliffs, I was
07:24.440 –> 07:34.680
like, I was like, yep, glad I went and got a cold drink, and actually, I didn’t need
07:34.680 –> 07:40.680
too much water today, they’re recommending two litres, but I think that’s for people
07:40.680 –> 07:47.120
that are staying here all day, and, you know, going on the beach, and climbing down those
07:47.120 –> 07:57.200
steps, but wise versions, as John always says, no not to go down there, even at two in the
07:57.200 –> 08:00.520
morning, wasn’t that? I was looking at these people thinking, I bet none of you have done
08:00.520 –> 08:06.040
two in the morning, Durdle Door I have, and there’s the only person there, and it’s wonderful
08:06.040 –> 08:12.960
although I was drunk, and wet, and the steps were wet, so I’m lucky to be here, that was
08:12.960 –> 08:25.080
not the first trip, so anyway, yeah, the drawing is using, well the second one was using the
08:25.080 –> 08:40.000
Deau Roux pen, and the first one was, I wish which pen was that, it was, oh the Aiken Lambert,
08:40.000 –> 08:46.520
so the first one was the Aiken Lambert fountain pen with watercolour, and no, I think it’s
08:46.520 –> 08:53.280
a good one, unexpected, I hope I didn’t miss the bus because I don’t want to repeat of
08:53.280 –> 09:01.440
two days ago, I’m trying to catch a lift or find any taxi anywhere near here, apparently
09:01.440 –> 09:09.440
there is a, I do know the name of a taxi company in a little worse, Cove Cabs if you’re ever
09:09.440 –> 09:14.760
stuck, but there’s actually no name now which is helpful for searching, and there is actually
09:14.760 –> 09:22.800
a signal around here, but yes, that’s made for a very sass-rated information person who
09:22.800 –> 09:31.360
was just like, yeah this isn’t even the start of it, and it was like, yeah, people have died,
09:31.360 –> 09:40.080
because the Bollywood, well I said it was Bollywood or one of the other versions, I
09:40.080 –> 09:57.280
say Bollywood, might be Pakistani, but one of those musical East Asian films, unfortunately
09:57.280 –> 10:02.800
they did a thing where if you actually swam through the door, you’ve got to turn your
10:02.800 –> 10:08.480
life and people have tried, and it looks like the tide wasn’t too bad today, because people
10:08.480 –> 10:14.640
were swimming out that far, most of the time you see people try and just go, oh no, because
10:14.640 –> 10:21.800
they don’t realise the tidal rip through the door, and the tidal rip outside will sweep
10:21.800 –> 10:31.280
your way, but there were tombstoning, so the piece is probably going to be called something
10:31.280 –> 10:36.560
along those lines, tombstoning or knocking on heaven’s door or something, because they
10:36.560 –> 10:41.840
were climbing up the side of the door and jumping in, and there was another people in the sea
10:41.840 –> 10:48.640
cheering them on, it was just like crazy, so those of you who don’t even know tomb stoning
10:48.640 –> 10:55.560
is jumping off lifts, or jumping off high heights into the sea, and it’s very popular
10:55.560 –> 11:06.600
with the kids here, it’s also very deadly hence the name, so yeah that was crazy, so I
11:06.600 –> 11:14.480
better sign off because I’ve got to get up this hill in 45 minutes, I’m doing fairly
11:14.480 –> 11:28.400
well, but we’ve got to 11 minutes already, but yes it was a more active day off than
11:28.400 –> 11:33.320
I was supposed to be, because I was just hanging around the site going what can I do here, and
11:33.320 –> 11:40.040
I spent the day trying to charge my batteries, one did, and the phone did, but my big battery
11:40.040 –> 11:47.200
is acting weirdly, I need to replace it, that’s part of the problem there, waited an hour
11:47.200 –> 11:59.280
to get a coffee, yeah literally an hour, it’s had a queue over now at the campsite, purely
11:59.280 –> 12:15.160
so I could use their charging, and their sockets, but yeah I don’t know, we’ll see how much
12:15.160 –> 12:22.160
the solar has charged up the battery when I get back, probably not very much, and that’s
12:22.160 –> 12:29.520
sort of the problem with the solar but I think it’s the battery, so anyway speak to you soon,
12:29.520 –> 12:43.360
an addendum, the fun thing about Durdle Door, as somebody I met last year called it, there
12:43.360 –> 12:47.640
were some people arriving, but a lot of people are leaving now because the mist had come
12:47.640 –> 12:52.320
down, I told you it was changeable weather, I was walking up, mist had come down, usually
12:52.320 –> 12:58.160
around 6 or 7 that happened to Durdle Door, everyone leaves going oh it’s all that shit
12:58.160 –> 13:04.840
now, and then it gets good later, it’s just a really weird weather system, and it’s different
13:04.840 –> 13:12.680
to little west cove, little cove can have bright sunshine, other parts of the coast
13:12.680 –> 13:17.800
bright sunshine, so Durdle Door, it’s a little bit like golden cap in our garden, just be
13:17.800 –> 13:22.880
like the clouds over Golden Cap, but Durdle Door isn’t that high up, it’s fairly high,
13:22.880 –> 13:27.760
they’re not really high up, so I don’t know why he does that, but yes I know that from
13:27.760 –> 13:31.120
when I was staying here, because I used to go out in the evenings again, and the place
13:31.120 –> 13:39.480
was deserted about 8 or 9 o’clock, but you’d be very lucky to get a sunset Durdle Door,
13:39.480 –> 13:46.600
usually it’s misty at that time, you really have to be like gubber up to see that, anyway,
13:46.600 –> 14:13.440
I’m just waiting for the bus.
