TIM BAKER

00:00.000 –> 00:29.920
I’m just walking to Preston, again, to take the bus into Weymouth and then go on to Dorchester.
00:29.920 –> 00:37.760
Hopefully, to turn our bus, our bus is not too late, it took me a while to get ready but today
00:37.760 –> 00:46.000
it’s, last night I was bringing everything in and unfortunately I left the fly, tent fly cover
00:46.000 –> 00:53.360
out I think, tentable tent, opened so the inner tent got sort of due condensation because the
00:53.360 –> 01:03.360
mist came down and today it’s very misty and it’s cool and it is lovely. I’m loving this,
01:04.160 –> 01:08.640
usually I complain about the muddy weather, I’m loving this muddy weather after the heat wave,
01:08.640 –> 01:14.640
it’s just lovely to be like 20 odd degrees and just sort of threatening rain and cold,
01:15.520 –> 01:20.240
can have a lot more of that because I might be able to walk that bit that I wanted to walk
01:20.240 –> 01:26.400
from Weymouth, apparently it’s Weymouth, not White Nose, I was doing the upper class version.
01:29.600 –> 01:34.080
Yes, I think I might try that tomorrow, that’s the reason why I’m still at Eweleaze Farm, I was
01:34.080 –> 01:41.840
going to move on days ago but that episode where I completely fucked my legs up, on day three,
01:41.840 –> 01:50.480
was it day two, there’s a classic sort of doom to do that but I did. So yes, but there is one thing
01:50.480 –> 01:56.560
I wanted to talk about about walking and I think the only criticism I’ve got of Eweleaze Farm apart
01:56.560 –> 02:05.520
from the feral children, there was one playing in the showers last night and I’ve had that before
02:05.520 –> 02:12.480
with them, the unsupervised kids in the showers doing the cold hot, cold hot, cold hot, you know,
02:12.480 –> 02:21.920
making everyone else get a colder than a hot shower. And also feral dogs as well, quite a few
02:21.920 –> 02:26.720
nice dogs, a lot of dogs, barky dogs, so you have to kind of plan your route away from the
02:27.600 –> 02:32.640
barky dogs but the thing, I don’t want to turn this into a rantcast, but the thing is a lot of
02:32.640 –> 02:41.200
the people who come to Holiday Parks or Eweleaze, they come there, they drive there in really big
02:41.200 –> 02:50.160
vans to carry all their shit with them because they have massive corrals of tents and I can hear
02:50.160 –> 02:56.320
them saying about my old man tent, like kids going, oh how could anyone sleep in that, you know,
02:56.320 –> 03:03.920
tent privilege, but yeah, how could anyone sleep in that? It’s like they can, if you don’t act like
03:04.720 –> 03:10.480
you’ve got to have a non-sweet bathroom with everything. So, but yeah, the problem is if you
03:10.480 –> 03:18.800
ask them about anything walking or the people that are on the campsite, you know, work on the
03:18.800 –> 03:29.040
campsite, everyone, and I mean everyone, let me fix it, drives everywhere, not exactly everyone but
03:29.920 –> 03:40.320
there aren’t that many walkers and hikers, there’s a lot of people who are sort of walking, you know,
03:40.320 –> 03:44.880
who walk around the site, stay on the site, walk their dogs on the site or their dogs run right
03:44.880 –> 03:52.480
on the site, you know, the kids on the site, stay on site, don’t go anywhere else and that is a bit
03:52.480 –> 03:58.960
of a problem if you ask them like, as I did just now, where’s a certain exit, you know,
03:58.960 –> 04:02.960
there’s a certain path there because Eweleaze Farm doesn’t signpost anything and that’s the,
04:04.000 –> 04:09.440
that’s one of the things that’s a bit of a drag about the place is that you, especially when I first
04:09.440 –> 04:20.160
went there, to give you a map on very disposable, very, very sort of, as soon as it gets a drop
04:20.160 –> 04:26.880
of water disintegrates paper and so, yeah, so I was trying to find this exit, I’ve seen people walk
04:26.880 –> 04:32.240
into from the main path but I’ve never actually seen, on the other side, it turns out several
04:32.240 –> 04:38.160
people have got their tents in front of it, so I walked past it twice and then I could only find it
04:38.160 –> 04:52.560
from the other side, just looking at the bus times, 1045, I just missed it, I think, I just missed it,
04:53.440 –> 05:00.880
look on the app, but yes, because the 503 comes up to the, I didn’t realise I just found this
05:00.880 –> 05:08.880
out last yesterday, a couple of days ago, there’s a bus stop at the top of the caravan park,
05:11.440 –> 05:15.200
sort of Holiday Park, so the 503, I was getting off at the bottom of the Bowleaze and looking at
05:15.200 –> 05:21.120
this, there’s actually a bus stop all the way near where the footpath comes in, the one that I was
05:21.120 –> 05:31.840
trying to find a shortcut route to, to Preston, so yeah, it is, you know, but this is the thing,
05:31.840 –> 05:38.000
you ask people who work there, they drive in, you ask people that, you know, they have no idea,
05:38.000 –> 05:42.240
I mean they didn’t ever tell me about this path to Preston last time, I was asking them,
05:42.240 –> 05:48.480
are there any paths out off the side to the main road, oh no, only that one, and it turns out,
05:48.480 –> 05:54.720
there is loads of paths, there’s one via the PGL, pass the PGL, and you walk up the bus stop to the
05:55.680 –> 06:02.560
near the chapel stop at Osmington, and that’s well hidden, and in fact at the time last year,
06:02.560 –> 06:09.120
the big sign saying footpath closed and it wasn’t, which I actually turned around, I did a bit of
06:09.120 –> 06:19.600
guerrilla, guerrilla walking action, because it was wrong, the path was fine, but yeah,
06:19.600 –> 06:24.400
it’s kind of, I think it’s the one after the chapel stop, I can’t remember, it’s where the,
06:24.400 –> 06:32.000
where the town, town, the village hall is, and yeah, and there’s this one that I found this
06:32.000 –> 06:37.920
time to Preston, and Preston’s got much more buses, so it’s got this 503, it’s got the four,
06:37.920 –> 06:43.920
it’s got the X54, X53, I think, well you know, it’s got lots of buses that go through it,
06:43.920 –> 06:48.400
and also there’s some extra ones that are from the local services that are never on the apps,
06:48.400 –> 06:53.600
don’t have apps, don’t, everyone, you know, literally, there are a couple of bus companies,
06:53.600 –> 06:59.600
South West Coaches, and Damay, I think it is, Dasmay, Damay, they don’t have websites,
06:59.600 –> 07:04.240
they don’t have apps, but they do, they do have buses, these secret buses, local buses for local
07:04.240 –> 07:17.520
people, so yes, it’s a bit, it’s a bit of a strange one really, oh I hope that’s the bus,
07:18.800 –> 07:31.360
no it’s not, so yes, you know, and the idea of actually putting your tent right in front,
07:31.360 –> 07:38.400
I’ve seen a few in Eweleaze doing this, putting their tent right in front of a sort of exit
07:38.400 –> 07:43.760
through a hedge, you know, a pathway, and you know, not a sort of a desire path, I mean,
07:43.760 –> 07:47.840
actually one of the proper ones, and you didn’t see it, and then you have to know it’s there,
07:47.840 –> 07:54.240
and it’s just carry the map in your head, because the map is on a bit of paper that’s
07:54.240 –> 08:01.440
fallen apart in about three dots of rain, otherwise it’s going well, no it’s going well, I mean, I
08:01.440 –> 08:08.080
say liking the colder weather, hope I get to CERN not too late, because I have to go to
08:08.800 –> 08:12.080
Weymouth, get the train from Weymouth, Dorchester, Dorchester, then I’ll get the X11 bus,
08:13.280 –> 08:18.960
and that only runs like every hour or so, I say it’s already about 11 o’clock, so,
08:18.960 –> 08:25.440
I don’t think this bus is coming, I think I’ve just missed it by a few minutes,
08:26.160 –> 08:32.960
annoyingly, literally missed it by, you know, a couple of minutes, but anyway,
08:34.000 –> 08:38.720
so there are other buses, I now know, I now know there are other buses,
08:40.080 –> 08:44.560
when I first came here, I think I knew about the 503, and this four went off to somewhere
08:44.560 –> 08:49.280
which I was nearby, but I didn’t know anything about Preston, actually that’s probably the best
08:49.280 –> 08:55.120
one, and it’s starting to rain, which I’m glad about, usually I’ll be moaning about that,
08:56.880 –> 09:03.520
and you know, it’s one of these things where people, you know, I don’t moan all the time,
09:03.520 –> 09:11.200
I just say this trip has been not as idyllic as the first one, mostly because of the heat,
09:11.200 –> 09:19.120
mostly because of, you know, things that are out of my control, and some things that
09:19.120 –> 09:26.880
are in my control, like walking too far, too early, in hot weather, extremely hot weather,
09:26.880 –> 09:32.400
I was talking to someone from South Africa, and I spotted that she was a Joburg accent, and she
09:32.400 –> 09:43.760
was saying how her son described it as, I’m shlanger weather, but worse, you know, I’m shlanger
09:43.760 –> 09:49.360
weather plus, because she knew about I’m shlanger rocks, where near Durban, where my
09:49.360 –> 09:54.960
John sister lives, and John grew up near there, at Durban North, and as a sim, I’ve been using
09:54.960 –> 10:01.440
that as a comparison point to the heat wave, that, you know, dry heat, fine, humid heat, bad,
10:01.440 –> 10:06.400
and Durban is a classic example of that, but even Durban doesn’t get to 40 degrees like that,
10:07.360 –> 10:13.040
so yes, but yeah, I was, I did my party trick and said where, you know, she wandered up and said
10:13.040 –> 10:18.320
where from Joburg are you? I’d already overheard in the coffee shop where she works in various bits
10:18.320 –> 10:36.880
of the farm, I’ve not got lost, I’ve not lost, this is not familiar, crap, exit, okay, follow
10:36.880 –> 10:45.280
that one, but yeah, there’s actually a shortcut, missed the shortcut I think, but the, yes, so
10:45.280 –> 10:52.480
you know, it was, it was, it was funny to do my party trick, and I do wonder if that’s my,
10:54.320 –> 11:02.640
you know, not exactly super power, but yeah, because of course, in holiday parks, the signs
11:02.640 –> 11:09.680
are all about the drivers, what’s convenient for the drivers, not convenient for me,
11:09.680 –> 11:25.360
as they’re getting rained on, where’s the exit? I wonder, I might retrace my steps, but the,
11:27.120 –> 11:34.080
yes, this is Tim getting lost in a holiday park podcast, this is the thing, they are
11:34.080 –> 11:40.800
labyrinth then places that look, their ticky-tacky boxes all look the same, and it’s very hard to
11:40.800 –> 11:50.240
work out, you know, if you get lost, if you wander past somewhere, you’ll be never found again in a
11:50.240 –> 12:05.840
holiday park, anyway, and the locals don’t care, so yeah, that’s my rant about walking,
12:07.280 –> 12:17.040
it’s just not enough people walk, not enough people sort of do, you know, find out about the
12:17.040 –> 12:34.400
local area, even if they actually live here, come on Wayne, excuse me, where’s the main road,
12:34.400 –> 12:38.000
there’s the way to the main road here somewhere, the recycling point I think it’s called,
12:38.000 –> 12:47.120
I know, but I think there is a shorter path, I’ve taken it, okay, it’s where the spa shop is,
12:48.640 –> 13:00.800
okay, told you, people just don’t know where they are, they drive everywhere, it means they’ve got
13:00.800 –> 13:10.240
no concept of location, no concept of even, you know, even if they’re living on the Eweleaze farm,
13:10.240 –> 13:17.200
drive everywhere, have no concept of where things are, if you’re walking, always just down the road,
13:18.000 –> 13:24.160
what do you mean down the road, it has 100 cars a minute, and there’s no pavement, and
13:24.160 –> 13:32.480
actually it’s like 10 miles, apart from that, yeah, just down the road, and then we rant over,
13:34.720 –> 13:39.760
at the risk of making this a lot longer, which I will probably, I’m just kind of thinking about
13:39.760 –> 13:48.000
what I was ranting about, the sort of moral of the story, which is that, you know, everyone seems
13:48.000 –> 13:56.000
to live in insulated, or not not insulated, as Insulate Britain would tell you, bubbles, and
13:56.000 –> 14:01.040
it doesn’t matter, it probably doesn’t matter who you cycle actually or not, what’s going on with
14:01.040 –> 14:11.680
climate, but we can’t live separately, because if you live in your own little bubbles and drive
14:11.680 –> 14:39.760
everywhere, we can’t just live in your separated bubbles, because that’s not good for the planet,
14:39.760 –> 14:46.800
you know, if people drive everywhere, have no concept of their local environment, they don’t
14:46.800 –> 14:52.560
really care if the footpaths are closed, they don’t really care if, you know, green spaces
14:53.280 –> 14:59.200
are destroyed, because they don’t go there, they’ll go to the holiday park or the, you know,
15:02.480 –> 15:08.560
the multiplex, they won’t go to, you know, the green space down the road, but so when
15:08.560 –> 15:15.920
someone wants to build on it, they’ll be like, boom, done I made, and so this interconnection,
15:15.920 –> 15:23.440
like with holiday park people not being friendly, they’re not engaging, you know, not all true,
15:23.440 –> 15:31.040
a couple people there said hello, but majority of them don’t say hello, they don’t seem to,
15:31.040 –> 15:37.600
they seem to be here for the beach, they don’t interact, they probably stay in the holiday parks,
15:37.600 –> 15:42.560
the, I suspect the holiday park is probably not owned by people, I met the one under the doors
15:42.560 –> 15:51.360
owned by a, the same family that owns Lulworth Castle, and their lord and something, I can’t
15:51.360 –> 15:58.720
remember the name at the moment, you know, it’s people who don’t live here, and people who don’t
16:00.240 –> 16:06.320
engage in the locality, then it did not friendly to the locals or other visitors,
16:06.320 –> 16:16.240
and the money goes out, it doesn’t stay within the community, and that is as much a green issue
16:17.280 –> 16:23.920
as much of a societal and business, and you know, people don’t feel cuddly towards caravaners and
16:23.920 –> 16:31.440
mobile home people, because of that sort of rudeness, but it also lack of interaction,
16:31.440 –> 16:36.080
it means that they’re not really part of the society, so you can understand it,
16:39.280 –> 16:45.600
and that’s where walking can be very radical, where public transport can be very radical,
16:45.600 –> 16:48.960
not just for, it’s better for the planet, you’re not driving everywhere, you know,
16:49.600 –> 16:56.880
but you’re engaging with people, which I’m sometimes very bad on, but you know, I do it more than
16:56.880 –> 17:09.280
in my neurodiverse, my neurodiverse bubble, which is interesting how some dogs and people
17:09.280 –> 17:19.280
don’t get that people are different, and that, oh, the weird man over there is weird, because I’m
17:19.280 –> 17:29.680
not neurotypical, and that has a change as well, but it’s more the fact that this interconnected
17:29.680 –> 17:39.360
nature, yeah, everyone’s driving as you can hear, the interconnected nature of stuff, travel,
17:39.360 –> 17:49.680
art, the world has to change, because the way it is, it’s not sustainable.

00:00.000 –> 00:17.000
There’s something children of the stones about Cerne Abbas. It’s like a mix between
00:17.000 –> 00:27.200
Godalming and Corfe Castle, and with sort of tints of Summer Isle. I’ve just been here
00:27.200 –> 00:36.240
to see the giant, the wonderful giant of Oz – no – and his very large penis, and it was
00:36.240 –> 00:44.720
quite funny for about five minutes to see the children giggling about the big
00:44.720 –> 00:53.360
willy at the viewing area, but when I was sort of working or trying to work on a
00:53.360 –> 00:59.840
piece, the first piece, which you won’t see, or I might post it to Instagram, and
00:59.840 –> 01:05.040
you won’t be the art for this podcast, which will be the paint stick
01:05.040 –> 01:08.840
version, probably surprisingly, it was the last piece I did. I might do
01:08.840 –> 01:13.840
the second watercolor, which is very good as well, and if you want to check
01:13.840 –> 01:18.640
out any of my other work, go to my Instagram account, which is finger
01:18.640 –> 01:27.160
trouble, F-I-N-G-E-R-T-R-O-U-B-L-E. So I’m currently wandering to the
01:27.160 –> 01:33.160
Justine’s Well, but I don’t know, I hope it’s not too far, quite nice feeling it’s
01:33.160 –> 01:40.080
quite a long way, because I was going to have a look at the remains of the
01:40.080 –> 01:44.320
Abbey until I realised that it’s private and although you can go into it,
01:44.320 –> 01:52.600
you want £2.50 and it’s like, yes, not for like 20 minutes, thank you. So I’m
01:52.600 –> 01:59.440
just waiting for the bus to arrive, but I don’t know where this well is, I think I
01:59.440 –> 02:06.040
might have lost the well, unless it’s this thing here, which it could be, I don’t know.
02:06.040 –> 02:17.880
But yes, so I did three pieces of the giant, but what I did is actually, rather
02:17.880 –> 02:23.960
than stay at the, it got rather wearing all of the out-of-control children, I
02:23.960 –> 02:33.720
get feral children all the time. Dragonfly, I think a dragonfly, I hope it’s a
02:33.720 –> 02:40.040
dragonfly, yes it’s a dragonfly. We see very big things sort of flying around
02:40.040 –> 02:45.040
like they have to make sure they’re not Asian hornets, I have seen those up on
02:45.040 –> 02:53.080
Box Hill in Dorking, but the, yeah, I get that at the campsite, so I might, when I’m
02:53.080 –> 02:59.600
out and about, I just have no tolerance for stupid dumb fat children, to be
02:59.600 –> 03:04.760
brutally honest. And there’s quite a few of them, there’s quite a few sort of
03:04.760 –> 03:15.480
kitties sort of pissing around and being annoying. I wonder if it’s down here then.
03:16.880 –> 03:26.000
But yeah, it is a, it is a thing, so I actually walked up to, towards, I think it’s
03:26.000 –> 03:37.720
Weems’ Coppice, well here it is, I think, I think this is it. Whoever believes in me,
03:38.720 –> 03:46.440
and this is a clear bottle, I wouldn’t drink it, I’ve got my filter thing, it was a
03:46.440 –> 03:56.920
fitchkey, I don’t know. But yeah, I think that’s a well. Oh, they’ve been tying things to the tree.
03:56.920 –> 04:05.400
You see, there’s touches like that, I know that’s not a specifically, it’s not a
04:05.400 –> 04:10.480
specifically pagan thing, but it’s like there was a door knob on the old bell in
04:10.480 –> 04:16.400
which obviously, apparently there used to be 12 pubs and so on, but and a double the
04:16.400 –> 04:22.080
population for the dissolution of the monastery. And one of the old ex had to
04:22.080 –> 04:26.280
had exactly that, almost exactly the same door sort of image you know I had on
04:26.280 –> 04:33.440
Wicker Man, the Sun God type image, it was like, hmm. Oh, there’s a one is
04:33.440 –> 04:40.080
obviously the village in Hot Fuzz. Yeah, there’s elements of that about there, it’s
04:40.080 –> 04:46.680
nice and tranquil this milk well, as well should be. Wells were places of worship
04:46.680 –> 04:52.400
for pagans and then the Christians, it’s called Saint Justine’s well, it wouldn’t
04:52.400 –> 04:57.280
have been called Saint Justine’s well back in the day. But yeah, well offering, so
04:57.280 –> 05:02.240
there’s a, yeah, there’s a well offerings basically, but tied to a tree.
05:02.240 –> 05:14.560
Interesting, very interesting, one of them looks a lot like, oh, it’s a spoon.
05:14.560 –> 05:24.640
Interesting, there’s some of them angels, so that’s that’s very Christian. Yeah, so don’t
05:24.640 –> 05:30.360
hear it from me again, you know that I’m, I’ve been turned to a block of stone or
05:30.360 –> 05:35.840
burnt in a Wicker Man or something. But yeah, I think the paint sick piece is the
05:35.840 –> 05:40.920
best of the day and I did that right at the end. Using a technique where I let
05:40.920 –> 05:49.400
one layer, a contrasting layer dry, then I go over again with another one and
05:49.400 –> 05:57.160
then I scrape into it, revealing the first layer. That kind of worked except my
05:57.160 –> 06:01.360
scraped drawing isn’t exact as I like, so I went over with white and then sort of
06:01.360 –> 06:05.560
firmed it up. But it’s interesting, adding green and pink together, do
06:05.560 –> 06:12.600
actually get the, if I’d known that right in my watercolour, I kind of did towards
06:12.600 –> 06:25.240
the end. But I’m really struggling with this sort of soft green, brown, sort of
06:25.240 –> 06:33.400
dried grass colour, sort of dehydrated grass colour. I’ve worked out that if you
06:33.400 –> 06:42.480
mix cobalt violet and yellow ochre, it kind of approximates it. But also
06:42.480 –> 06:50.800
interestingly green, you know green and pink or sort of pinky colours like the
06:50.800 –> 07:02.480
cobalt violet actually, MSR, actually has the same effect because if you mix
07:02.480 –> 07:07.720
tertiary mixing, if you mix the opposite colour in of two secondary, if you get a
07:07.720 –> 07:11.680
dulled down version, which is called tertiary and tertiary mixing is not
07:11.680 –> 07:18.200
taught in schools because your art education was shit. I’m sorry, your art
07:18.200 –> 07:23.960
education was shit. And I mean if you were taught tertiary mixing, then
07:23.960 –> 07:29.960
wonderful, but I was not. I was taught primaries and secondaries. But it is vital
07:29.960 –> 07:34.200
because if you mix two bright colours together, you actually get a dulled down
07:34.200 –> 07:41.320
pastel. And for those dulled down pastily, sort of distant greens and you know
07:41.320 –> 07:51.520
whatever distant colours, you either do that with using less colour and sort
07:51.520 –> 07:56.200
of going to white, which doesn’t always work. It might work if it was misty, but
07:56.200 –> 08:02.960
doesn’t work for you know like smog or heatase or you know whatever. It doesn’t
08:02.960 –> 08:08.280
really work for other things. All the other option is you use quite strong
08:08.280 –> 08:18.520
colour and then you mix the opposite secondaries together and get a opposite
08:18.520 –> 08:28.000
colour. All right. You get a pastel colour, so I just wrapped it by
08:28.000 –> 08:42.800
a cute bit of matte. You get a sort of a grey or version of a grey, a sort of tint of a grey. So it is a good
08:42.800 –> 08:46.120
way of getting and the things that greys have have bits of colours with the
08:46.120 –> 08:50.120
original colours in, so it’s not like you know that at school they would have
08:50.120 –> 08:53.320
taught you how to get a grey, you mix black and white together, which doesn’t
08:53.320 –> 08:58.680
work with what colour because you’re going against the
08:58.680 –> 09:04.400
white or the colour of the page tinting it down. So you can’t do that. Well you
09:04.400 –> 09:11.160
can, but it looks a bit dull and dead. What you do is you mix tertiaries, you mix
09:11.160 –> 09:14.400
your own blacks because then they have elements of colours of everything, which
09:14.400 –> 09:21.440
what black is and or you mix your own tertiary colours for greys and whatever
09:21.440 –> 09:26.760
and so you know one a classic way to then mix greys is sterilean blue plus
09:26.760 –> 09:35.240
silo ochre and that gets a very sort of nice sort of steely blue grey colour.
09:35.240 –> 09:43.600
There’s usually not that a lot today for the sort of the, there was lots of wheat
09:43.600 –> 09:53.000
stalks and that’s a combination of purples, the greys, pinks surprisingly,
09:53.000 –> 10:00.200
yellows, but you know like a child would go, oh it’s yellow, no it’s actually lots
10:00.200 –> 10:05.240
of, not only the shadows are blue because it’s yellow, the shadows are
10:05.240 –> 10:11.560
opposite of what, this is the whole music and colour theory course here, do you
10:11.560 –> 10:17.960
quite often have the reverse colours in there because of the shadows and then
10:17.960 –> 10:23.440
you have other colours in there. If you have a look at a, look at a wheat field
10:23.440 –> 10:35.160
don’t worry through it, then you will see this. So anyway we’re about to catch the bus, hopefully I don’t miss it, it’s one of those jobbies where they’ve hidden the bus stop.
10:35.160 –> 10:40.840
Interestingly on a speed limit sign, sometimes it’s like you’d have a bus stop.
10:40.840 –> 10:48.240
I was on the bus, then I’m searching for them from Durdle Door last night and
10:48.240 –> 10:50.960
then someone got off and the other person obviously doesn’t know about
10:50.960 –> 10:55.200
Dorset Ways because it was complaining, but there isn’t a sign and there
10:55.200 –> 10:58.840
isn’t a sign with a name on and the other one, the person who was like, like
10:58.840 –> 11:03.200
stroked and was like, yeah it’s Dorset, that’s what it does, because the Winfrith
11:03.200 –> 11:11.360
post Winfrith post office, there is not a stop sign at all as I found to my most
11:11.360 –> 11:20.480
consternation. So yes I didn’t manage to get a t-shirt, the place finished, closed
11:20.480 –> 11:27.320
five and I got here after five. I had a feeling that might be the case. Annoying,
11:27.320 –> 11:31.480
if I’d known about the five limit I would have come down here earlier but I
11:31.480 –> 11:35.320
stopped to do that, paint the sick drawing. But I’ll see if I can get them
11:35.320 –> 11:40.360
online, I’ve taken a picture of the Gmail account and I think I’ve seen them
11:40.360 –> 11:46.760
online. I could have bought them earlier but I was a bit like, well you know, it’s
11:46.760 –> 11:50.160
a bit like buying a band-ish shirt and never seeing the band.
11:50.160 –> 11:58.000
No, I’m not gonna wear something I’m not visited. So anyway, out over and out
11:58.000 –> 12:05.360
from Cerne Abbas, waiting for a bus and hoping it turns up. My luck hasn’t been
12:05.360 –> 12:29.920
good on these things.

00:00.000 –> 00:16.040
I’m all packed up at Eweleaze. I said I was going to leave on Wednesday and I checked with
00:16.040 –> 00:24.880
the Golden Cap Holiday Park and they have availability so I thought it’s a bit more
00:24.880 –> 00:30.320
than I was planning to do. I looked around that area and anything remotely near Golden
00:30.320 –> 00:36.920
Cap is like 20, 25 per night you can’t find anything and anybody who read my
00:36.920 –> 00:42.040
blog from last year on tjbaker.co.uk and just search for jaunt you’ll see them.
00:42.040 –> 00:45.720
Well now how much I love holiday parks if I didn’t like to be looking at
00:45.720 –> 00:56.160
the water side holiday park as I record this and I know people arrive. But yeah it’s a
00:56.160 –> 01:00.720
closest place so we’ll see. It’s got good reviews. There are a few alternatives
01:00.720 –> 01:06.920
around there. One holiday place which will go unmentioned, it starts with an
01:06.920 –> 01:17.280
E and ends in YP. I wanted £35 a night and I was like you what? That better be
01:17.280 –> 01:24.920
some gold level holiday park you know glamping shizzle for that price. It wasn’t
01:24.920 –> 01:32.680
it was just a tent no car. Usually it’s less because I’ve got you know I’m a
01:32.680 –> 01:39.960
walker no car just one person. You know and there was another place that I might
01:39.960 –> 01:50.880
go to Home Farm which there’s one place called Manor Farm where they only got
01:50.880 –> 01:57.000
cold showers. I was like mmm no that’s my only situation. It doesn’t have
01:57.000 –> 02:04.120
cop shells or not. And then there’s the place called Home Farm which has quite
02:04.120 –> 02:08.160
nice it’s sort of in between. It depends how far I want to go because I always say
02:08.160 –> 02:12.200
don’t want to head for Lyme Regis. Well I remember I’ve done this I’m not
02:12.200 –> 02:16.840
totally sure whether I’ve done the walk from Weymouth to Lyme Regis. I think I
02:16.840 –> 02:21.320
have because I looked at the little toms and towers a tower and something I
02:21.320 –> 02:26.080
think that sounds really familiar. So I might have done it once because I know I
02:26.080 –> 02:30.520
walked as far as because I what you probably don’t know is I did a lot of
02:30.520 –> 02:46.840
coastal walks connecting near what’s it called up in Kent? Fareham. It was Fareham
02:46.840 –> 02:57.640
and that’s all the way. Dell Quay and all that sort of shizzle. Almost up to the island.
02:57.640 –> 03:03.240
I can’t remember the name, blanking the name at the moment. All the way around in sections
03:03.240 –> 03:10.000
you know you’ve got you know all the way around and then I did the Thames up to
03:10.000 –> 03:20.040
Oxford no Abingdon and then I did basically Gravesend connecting all the
03:20.040 –> 03:25.800
way around to Chichester and there’s a few gaps and then it goes all the way
03:25.800 –> 03:31.160
around to Lyme Regis. Lyme Regis was as far as I went
03:31.160 –> 03:41.120
easterly and that was there’s lots of people arriving. Lyme Regis as far as
03:41.120 –> 03:46.640
you know I went east wise and the few bits I didn’t do like I I sort of stopped
03:46.640 –> 03:53.240
at Chichester and there’s a big gap and then it restarts again around Studland
03:53.240 –> 03:57.800
Bournemouth. So I haven’t actually done the section Bournemouth to Southampton
03:57.800 –> 04:05.040
although I’d walked bits of that in the past like around Bosn. So yeah so I’ve
04:05.040 –> 04:10.320
kind of done bits of this before and I’m not too sure I remember going to Lyme
04:10.320 –> 04:15.280
Regis so if I went to Lyme Regis I didn’t walk the other way. I’m pretty
04:15.280 –> 04:19.920
sure I walked to Weymouth or somewhere along the way and then bailed and went
04:19.920 –> 04:25.920
inland. I don’t know anyway I’ve got a heavy rucksack to carry to Preston and I’ve
04:25.920 –> 04:30.680
got to get there for seven so I’d better shut up.
04:41.800 –> 04:50.840
Always the 9th wave. Yes I made it to Golden Cap Holiday Park and as is
04:50.840 –> 04:56.360
traditional not with every place I go to but every place on the beach I am sitting
04:56.360 –> 05:03.840
on the beach. Dusk watching the sunset and a very wonderful meal at the anchor in
05:03.840 –> 05:13.480
Seatown which Golden Cap Holiday Park is just off and I started with it. I was
05:13.480 –> 05:16.320
actually eyeing up the Prosecco it would have been cheaper actually to buy a
05:16.320 –> 05:23.520
Prosecco bottle of Prosecco Rose but I had a glass instead of a bottle of it.
05:23.520 –> 05:29.480
You completely smashed tonight which is not a sweet bad thing. I started using
05:29.480 –> 05:34.320
to do it back at the tent but I pretty much left it as it is. It was on my
05:34.320 –> 05:42.040
backlist of outside so I’ll be alright because I realized that they stopped
05:42.040 –> 05:48.720
doing food I say so I was like okay I’ll have some food now then. I just went out to the
05:48.720 –> 05:55.480
beach and had a meal. A really nice short slow cup short rib with chunky
05:55.480 –> 06:02.640
chips and then had a hot chocolate with the whipped cream I couldn’t get in
06:02.640 –> 06:07.760
New Lees. For some reason New Lees the coffee shop only did marshmallows but
06:07.760 –> 06:14.800
never whipped cream. I finally did it. It was loaded hot chocolate so in more
06:14.800 –> 06:19.960
alcohol. I had a crabby’s as well. I’m not drunk but I have been drawing images
06:19.960 –> 06:27.440
in the, well it’s like clay it’s mud at the bottom of the cliffs which collapse
06:27.440 –> 06:34.600
regularly so I might get crushed in the middle of this podcast and there’s lights
06:34.600 –> 06:39.080
in the distance. Is that lights enough? Is someone on the headland or is that distant
06:39.080 –> 06:41.200
lights? I’m not sure.
06:41.200 –> 06:46.720
It looks like a firelight actually. That’s a long area of fire and headlanders.
06:46.720 –> 06:55.040
What looks like a traffic light behind it. Yes so I finally made it. It was
06:55.040 –> 07:05.760
actually quite a, well I said quite a painless journey. The bit after the
07:05.760 –> 07:12.440
recording earlier was hard because it was very hot in the middle of the day. I had
07:12.440 –> 07:20.240
my full pack on with extra weight because I haven’t mentioned this but I
07:20.240 –> 07:27.320
have a, I’m using a camping gas cooker because I tried all the ecological
07:27.320 –> 07:35.200
ways of using you know twigs and wood and found wood and whatever and it just
07:35.200 –> 07:40.360
took too long and you spent your whole holiday collecting twigs and they were
07:40.360 –> 07:46.400
gone in like five seconds and you could never actually boil anything so I gave
07:46.400 –> 07:52.840
in even though I absolutely hate gas and fossil fuels and that I think I
07:52.840 –> 07:57.080
actually went back to my old which I already had it’s not like a more new
07:57.080 –> 08:03.000
one but I already had a car but because they’ve been hanging around for two
08:03.000 –> 08:09.040
decades I didn’t know if it’d work so I tested it before I came out of course
08:09.040 –> 08:15.120
and it worked and I but the thing is I didn’t know how much was in it because
08:15.120 –> 08:19.040
I don’t keep records on how much I used it before and turns out not that much
08:19.040 –> 08:24.400
because I’ve been I did two risottos on that on that canister it’s the bigger
08:24.400 –> 08:31.640
canister the blue you know the blue ones two pastas which take about ten
08:31.640 –> 08:37.000
fifty minutes each coffee most days not every day I think a couple of days I’ve
08:37.000 –> 08:41.840
got bought coffees but I’ve been very good I mean this is the thing about the
08:41.840 –> 08:47.200
treating myself to a meal the anchor in is that actually I have been really good
08:47.200 –> 08:53.640
at not going partly out of the barn at Uli’s just being a bit dysfunctional
08:53.640 –> 08:58.400
partly not having the opportunity wanting to head back one partly because I
08:58.400 –> 09:02.360
wanted to use up this gas canister which didn’t happen so I ended up carrying
09:02.360 –> 09:08.520
to the smaller replacement and I wasn’t going to ditch the old one you know hey
09:08.520 –> 09:14.040
use it all so I ended up carrying two canisters and a few extra bits and bobsleigh
09:14.040 –> 09:19.680
bought while I was there and a few things I found I found that I was eyeing
09:19.680 –> 09:27.480
up one of these bendy what I call them clickies because you’re gonna click
09:27.480 –> 09:35.200
clicker than everybody work the little you know barbecue fire lighters the
09:35.200 –> 09:40.760
little fire lighters on the stick the little senior long prongy thing you
09:40.760 –> 09:45.920
light gas and barbecues with but it’s one with a bendy when I was looking at
09:45.920 –> 09:48.800
them in the store and thinking well a couple of kids but I don’t need that and
09:48.800 –> 09:54.480
then I found one on the ground empty a bit trashed but again I don’t like
09:54.480 –> 10:00.000
wasting things so I just carrying it with me and seeing you know I might not
10:00.000 –> 10:06.240
work but I suspect it just needs a refill and if so given the fact that my
10:06.240 –> 10:10.680
my existing clickies seem to have died a death and I might have had to buy a little
10:10.680 –> 10:19.240
lighter probably will probably be fine probably probably a good replacement for
10:19.240 –> 10:24.680
that so yeah I’m gonna head back to the tent a bit before it’s too dark I’ve got
10:24.680 –> 10:29.120
my torch they actually sell good headlights here as well they always
10:29.120 –> 10:33.800
want one but it would require getting more a batteries and I can’t use my
10:33.800 –> 10:38.840
existing a a’s about accidentally which is the idea so I was a bit low to get
10:38.840 –> 10:44.320
one this is why generally try not to do is by shade because I have carry it home
10:44.320 –> 10:50.160
but it’s different if I find stuff or if I’m like trying to not waste stuff oh no
10:50.160 –> 10:57.080
I can’t do that because I don’t know and just program not to waste things but the
10:57.080 –> 11:04.760
people here really good I had a bus ride was good amazingly I got to Preston
11:04.760 –> 11:11.720
about 20 minutes later was the through bus it only it only is I every two hours
11:11.720 –> 11:17.360
or so but it’s through bus to Bridport and then I got changed to report and got
11:17.360 –> 11:22.520
the X-51 here which is only a short journey like nine ten minutes so we’re
11:22.520 –> 11:27.840
outside of Bridport Bridport looks lovely West Bay less so whether I might
11:27.840 –> 11:33.000
walk there although tomorrow I think I’ll probably head towards Golden Cap which
11:33.000 –> 11:38.560
is a mile away see how high that is and how I cope with that it’s the highest
11:38.560 –> 11:46.160
point of the Jurassic Coast this high points of the coast will stop he’s one
11:46.160 –> 11:50.880
of the highest points of so the highest point the Jurassic Coast and you’re
11:50.880 –> 11:57.520
hiding don’t know and then I like I want to charm out and then if you know
11:57.520 –> 12:02.920
location time well I’ll jump on the bus the X-51 and come back and maybe do the
12:02.920 –> 12:07.720
other direction I don’t know since how I go really but I certainly want to do the
12:07.720 –> 12:14.280
other direction to Abbotsbury and West Bay I don’t want to stay in West Bay
12:14.280 –> 12:23.440
West Bay looked a bit like swanage a less a less picturesque swanage
12:23.440 –> 12:28.280
I mean that with all disrespect to swanage well Swanage has some bits which are
12:28.280 –> 12:33.000
nice but West Bay looks like they’ve taken out all of the Victorian bits and
12:33.000 –> 12:37.300
just left the rest whereas Bridport look really nice it has a weight
12:37.300 –> 12:45.040
throws you know it’s very poach this part of the world which tends to be coop and spa but
12:45.040 –> 12:53.680
yeah I had to walk as well as that walk to Preston I had to walk nearly a mile
12:53.680 –> 13:00.400
from the road and it was down one of those what I call dorset motorways I
13:00.400 –> 13:07.760
a single track but with loads of cars you know like one every five ten seconds yeah
13:07.760 –> 13:12.600
that was a bit stressful I’ve learned thank you Google for not telling me this
13:12.600 –> 13:17.880
I’ve learned that there are paths and better roads to come down like Mill Lane
13:17.880 –> 13:23.000
or there are some paths the road the woman in the spa shop who’s very good
13:23.000 –> 13:31.000
everyone here is really friendly I’m not in Weymouth anymore so I can snag off Weymouth
13:31.000 –> 13:38.520
Tim is drunk no I’m not drunk but yeah oh I mentioned about Weymouth being a
13:38.520 –> 13:46.160
bit weird a bit kind of unfriendly I’d really don’t get it might be the honeymoon
13:46.160 –> 13:51.000
period but I’d really don’t gather here people are generally nice and it’s such a
13:51.000 –> 13:59.320
shock I’m so used to I’m just so used to that weird attitude you get around
13:59.320 –> 14:04.280
Weymouth sometimes and everyone is really nice even when there was a bit of a
14:04.280 –> 14:08.240
problem with the not booking because I was told just to come here by the
14:08.240 –> 14:11.560
receptionist and said oh it’s plenty of space you don’t have to worry you don’t
14:11.560 –> 14:16.360
have to book we’ll see you it’s open till 7 turns out the shop takes over the
14:16.360 –> 14:22.960
bookings after five I read just after five and it turns out they’ve been told
14:22.960 –> 14:27.680
that there was no space and to turn everyone away but actually go into the
14:27.680 –> 14:34.960
campsite part it’s plenty of space it’s not it’s not as far from full so mix
14:34.960 –> 14:39.480
messages but after that was sorted out that was a bit of a panic because I was
14:39.480 –> 14:45.960
like it was a long walk down the hill to get here and I was just envisaging
14:45.960 –> 14:50.400
having to try and walk up that hill thinking I just can’t cope with this
14:50.400 –> 14:56.080
but turns out there are other ways of getting up to the Chideock I don’t know
14:56.080 –> 15:04.400
say this it’s CHIDOCK I haven’t asked a local how to pronounce it so I might be
15:04.400 –> 15:09.360
might be Chiduck I might be Chidock it’s probably Chidook because even he got all
15:09.360 –> 15:16.400
those extra vowels a bit like lip hook you don’t say them but live up to two
15:16.400 –> 15:26.040
other was CChideock is Chideock so C-H-I-D-E-O-C-K I don’t think it’s you in there
15:26.040 –> 15:32.080
but yeah long as extra vowels but it’s probably Chideock but I have to find out
15:32.080 –> 15:38.680
from a local way but yeah that looks really nice looks like a good church
15:38.680 –> 15:45.240
there at Abbotsbury looks wonderful at Swire looks interesting I might find
15:45.240 –> 15:48.760
that along the coast I think West Bay I might visit along the coast and just
15:48.760 –> 15:54.200
sort of wander by it’s a bit of a bow cleave bay situation very you know
15:54.200 –> 15:58.520
amusements five trillion fish it looks like a mix of
15:58.520 –> 16:03.320
Mevagissey if you took out the original Cornish stuff from Mevagissey and you’ve
16:03.320 –> 16:08.120
got like a little kind of harbour and they just filled it full of fish and
16:08.120 –> 16:13.320
chips and arcades that was basically West Bay
16:13.320 –> 16:20.600
Bridport is like just like nine days like oh upscale and for working class I
16:20.600 –> 16:26.000
should be like oh you know I should be all about the bow cleave all about the
16:26.000 –> 16:32.640
the West Bay but I just find it a bit boring to spend your time
16:32.640 –> 16:37.040
complaining on the beach eat nothing but fish and chips wear one as funny as and
16:37.040 –> 16:41.320
spend your time in the arcades it’s something I did as a kid it’s my
16:41.320 –> 16:49.080
background doesn’t mean I want to stay there I’m more interested in well cliffs
16:49.080 –> 16:55.280
and walking and yeah it’s all bit middle-class really who dear I’m a class
16:55.280 –> 17:01.040
traitor no not really but I was talking to a friend online about politeness
17:01.040 –> 17:07.600
because I found this really odd with Euclid Euclid Euclid is very middle
17:07.600 –> 17:15.440
class I think there’s lots of Jaquiths and Tabanthas and you know you’re
17:15.440 –> 17:22.960
Joshua’s and I you know there’s lots of children with very odd names running
17:22.960 –> 17:27.360
around in floppy hats and Nirvana t-shirts which they’re too young to
17:27.360 –> 17:34.720
ever heard of and people were ostensibly friendly there but they weren’t
17:34.720 –> 17:40.880
they would say hello but they’re a bit like hello can you fuck off now the
17:40.880 –> 17:50.240
locals are lovely apart from in Weymouth in what he messed they are shouting at
17:50.240 –> 17:53.600
coming to cars and that could be outsiders but you know it’s in my
17:53.600 –> 18:03.200
October that probably was not tourists shouting from those cars so yeah this
18:03.200 –> 18:07.240
seems to be weird kind of macro and that’s coming from a working class so
18:07.240 –> 18:11.360
you know you’ve got this southern working class and you see those in the
18:11.360 –> 18:18.120
holiday box who are generally not in all but quite standoffish and
18:18.120 –> 18:22.760
be like who are you and be quite rude with you in a way which as I explained
18:22.760 –> 18:28.160
to a friend of mine I would have sort of seven shades of shit being out of me
18:28.160 –> 18:33.440
as a child if I dared to even be like that because northern working class are
18:33.440 –> 18:42.800
all about being friendly not completely I mean when you’ve got the yukchur
18:42.800 –> 18:46.080
approach is basically kill you with kindness and feed you tea until you
18:46.080 –> 18:50.640
explode or run away whereas the Lancashire people are a bit more
18:50.640 –> 18:56.600
standoffish but once once we like you because I was born in Lancashire you
18:56.600 –> 19:00.320
can never fucking get rid of us really it’s it’s like you know bonded for life
19:00.320 –> 19:04.720
that’s you know and I met a couple a Sheffield couple earlier and so there’s
19:04.720 –> 19:12.160
quite a few northern people here and yeah people are friendly so just that
19:12.160 –> 19:18.160
sort of divide it’s class and location and all kinds of things and again these
19:18.160 –> 19:27.080
these are these are slightly drunken generalizations but I do think there’s
19:27.080 –> 19:31.280
there’s a lot of that like middle class you were like oh what am I standing I
19:31.280 –> 19:38.040
have to be polite to you know to seem you know good instant community southern
19:38.040 –> 19:43.640
working class I don’t really know I’m unpack that yet because I know people
19:43.640 –> 19:48.640
who are southern working class and they are really solid but a lot of holy part
19:48.640 –> 19:52.720
people were you can tell from the accents were southern working class but
19:52.720 –> 19:59.440
wouldn’t say hello to me you know and then you got the northern ones who are
19:59.440 –> 20:07.400
very you know stereotypically friendly and lovely and there seems to be location
20:07.400 –> 20:15.280
thing as well way must seem to be a bit I don’t know uptight itself but soon as
20:15.280 –> 20:22.520
you get more and more to the west the more it gets more classic Cornwall
20:22.520 –> 20:36.000
Devon you know deeper Dorset sort of you know very genuinely friendly I don’t
20:36.000 –> 20:46.080
know maybe it’s in London but I think it’s you know it’s interesting we’ve got
20:46.080 –> 20:51.680
60 minutes but it’s better shut up so yes you I will use an image that I took
20:51.680 –> 20:56.440
of Golden Cap I call I posted it to Instagram call it the Golden Dutch
20:56.440 –> 21:03.520
Cap yeah Golden Dutch cap angle because yeah I had to explain that you should
21:03.520 –> 21:07.240
never have to explain a joke obviously going cap Dutch cap Dutch angles I don’t
21:07.240 –> 21:12.280
know what Dutch angles are Dutch angles are the slanted angles it’s very
21:12.280 –> 21:17.440
popular in 1920s 1930s maybe the Dutch people had had too much to drink but
21:17.440 –> 21:21.400
it’s everything that’s 30 degrees 20 degrees it just happened to be I took it
21:21.400 –> 21:27.520
that angle but naturally I prefer that angle I corrected it and when now I
21:27.520 –> 21:33.120
prefer the slanted angle something about the angles like you know it’s not
21:33.120 –> 21:39.920
right yeah but it’s okay as the song goes oh my god I’m gonna see the distance
21:39.920 –> 21:44.600
up it must be the lights of Lyme we just I have been to line rage to say I
21:44.600 –> 21:51.960
think I’ve walked I suspect I’ve walked this part of this in the past and I
21:51.960 –> 22:00.440
read just nice it’s it’s very it’s a bit like Bournemouth it’s it’s less
22:00.440 –> 22:09.920
throbbing nightlife and fireworks every I saw those on Monday every Monday in
22:09.920 –> 22:16.680
August they do fireworks in women less kind of younger and sort of no you know
22:16.680 –> 22:25.800
flashing attractions and and fun found the beach more older clientele it’s
22:25.800 –> 22:35.200
nice it’s very you know classic it’s one of the first after the I mentioned the
22:35.200 –> 22:41.160
often Washington white horse I mentioned to somebody who’s you know was it was
22:41.160 –> 22:45.880
looking to me up for me and this kid was asking about it my popular local
22:45.880 –> 22:50.480
history lesson about this King George III coming to Weymouth and starting the
22:50.480 –> 22:55.440
whole trend of going to the beach but shortly after that and I don’t know
22:55.440 –> 23:03.320
exactly when but lyme regis kicked off as being the Regis as well so I don’t
23:03.320 –> 23:07.760
think it was may not be Charles III but one royal transferred their affection
23:07.760 –> 23:14.320
and then that became a posher place to go to but yeah it’s been a whole you know
23:14.320 –> 23:22.480
whole load of these but I I’m not gonna walk I know that walk or I know that the
23:22.480 –> 23:27.540
walk along the coast lyme regis it’s very flat it’s a bit like the walk
23:27.540 –> 23:31.320
around Weymouth Bay and it’s not interesting to do at all there’s no
23:31.320 –> 23:36.440
flesh around things so I think what I’ll do is do go on the cap which is very up
23:36.440 –> 23:43.120
you can contrast very up and right down and Charmouth looks interesting there’s
23:43.120 –> 23:47.220
campsite there as well I don’t know the campsite there isn’t a campsite the
23:47.220 –> 23:54.320
Charmouth campsite miles inland that’s that’s really bizarre so I’ll probably do
23:54.320 –> 23:59.560
that and then just jump on the bus and come back and or circle back and then
23:59.560 –> 24:05.200
do the direction I really do want to go back to Abbots recastle looks really
24:05.200 –> 24:10.960
good there was lots of there’s lots of I think the week I was like where’s the
24:10.960 –> 24:15.120
thunderstorm but I think it happened on the bus luckily we did have a massive
24:15.120 –> 24:21.240
damper on the bus but yeah there’s lots of little bits like that where I would
24:21.240 –> 24:27.480
like to go back and I will do so and I might I think this is as further as I
24:27.480 –> 24:34.080
want to go on this trip west I need to do a lot more research about post Lyme
24:34.080 –> 24:40.920
Regis and what’s over there but you know sticking to the Jurassic coast thing I
24:40.920 –> 24:47.840
think I will do so in this trip but because there’s enough in between here
24:47.840 –> 24:52.960
and Weymouth which I don’t know about Abbotsbury Castle and Abbotsbury itself
24:52.960 –> 25:00.000
and you know all those so I’m rambling I better I better wind this up it’s gonna
25:00.000 –> 25:07.200
be another long podcast sorry about that without any artwork how am I like yeah
25:07.200 –> 25:12.640
I didn’t do any artwork today it’s just it’s just he’s dressed for all the
25:12.640 –> 25:19.240
traveling and stuff you know I I could sketch on the buses but you know there
25:19.240 –> 25:23.200
wasn’t really much much interest in that I was more pissed off so I didn’t get a
25:23.200 –> 25:29.200
you know all of the buses I’ve been getting nearly all of them have had USB
25:29.200 –> 25:33.920
chargey things and one of the big problems is gonna be I want to go and do
25:33.920 –> 25:47.360
some washing I think I need detergent maybe I’ll get some detergent but the
25:47.360 –> 25:51.800
the whole system is there an app on your phone and I’ve got no way to charge my
25:51.800 –> 25:57.240
phone because my battery is pretty much dead and I didn’t get to charge on the
25:57.240 –> 26:01.920
bus and there’s no place to charge at the campsite apart from the shop and the
26:01.920 –> 26:07.080
shop closed at 8 and so I couldn’t really do it you know because you know it
26:07.080 –> 26:11.920
would have been if I would have had to skip the meal to do it yeah it was that
26:11.920 –> 26:19.560
sort of stuff you know so I will do that tomorrow so I don’t know if I’ll post
26:19.560 –> 26:27.480
this tonight or what I’ll do hopefully about your holdout and who knows I did
26:27.480 –> 26:33.000
rig up the solar which is what I was talking to the Sheffield couple about and
26:33.000 –> 26:40.160
who knows I may or may not have enough charge in it from that short evening
26:40.160 –> 26:46.080
probably not you tend and my battery my big battery has been acting weirdly so
26:46.080 –> 26:50.320
I do need to get a replacement for that it’s an old it’s kind of I’ve had it for
26:50.320 –> 26:55.160
a few years it’s not my really big one but it that one doesn’t really like solar
26:55.160 –> 27:02.200
very much it goes a bit weird it says it says it’s it says it’s a bit you know
27:02.200 –> 27:08.120
more charged than it is so I need to get one which is you know a new one and the
27:08.120 –> 27:13.600
one I’m using sort of my day-to-day sort of carry with me batteries a really good
27:13.600 –> 27:22.320
battery by Eafu, E-A-F-U only 6,000 MAA one but I might try one of theirs at
27:22.320 –> 27:26.920
10,000 and see if it’s happy with solar charging because back this is the
27:26.920 –> 27:33.520
thing batteries are weird some batteries don’t mind the extra you know I’ve got
27:33.520 –> 27:37.840
voltage recollections in them I don’t mind the upper downy some make weird
27:37.840 –> 27:41.640
noise it’s like my old one weird what weird whining noise probably because
27:41.640 –> 27:45.240
the transformer’s going what the fuck you know when it’s really sunny it’s
27:45.240 –> 27:49.120
getting too much voltage or something well too much current actually
27:49.120 –> 27:56.040
good idea think them it’s a proper it’s a proper solar charger with a 5 volt
27:56.040 –> 28:01.120
output but I think the current varies and I’m not sure my old battery would cope
28:01.120 –> 28:07.120
with that but it’s much bigger heavy batteries in the world so yes I think I
28:07.120 –> 28:11.920
did test it with a multimeter once and it does pump out a lot of voltage and
28:11.920 –> 28:17.560
charge and current at some points that’s nice and on I think what my old battery
28:17.560 –> 28:20.600
doesn’t cope with is the bits where it stops and they restart so it doesn’t
28:20.600 –> 28:25.000
always restart and it sometimes lies about how it’s just gone so you look
28:25.000 –> 28:28.640
something and you just find out it’s got nothing in it
28:28.640 –> 28:35.880
it’s not yeah it’s being a bit crazy twenty four minutes I’m going to shut
28:35.880 –> 28:45.920
up so yes tomorrow hopefully more work I’m going to say hello to Golden Cap
28:45.920 –> 28:51.800
go and say hello to Charmouth and maybe go and say hello certainly say hello to the
28:51.800 –> 28:55.560
beach and sunlight because of the headland and the beach looks very
28:55.560 –> 29:09.160
drawable this may not be a fire I might just be light so it does look like it but
29:09.160 –> 29:13.480
yeah so the headlands here look very drawable so it’s only I’d like to use
29:13.480 –> 29:18.760
some drawing for them and I can do so you can stay here you know later on or
29:18.760 –> 29:26.760
early on I don’t have to run off and because the car park closes here at 8
29:26.760 –> 29:31.480
p.m. so I’ve got a look through staying here so I can you know go up to Golden
29:31.480 –> 29:35.560
Cap at any time like I did with Durdle Door but I’m not going to do it tonight
29:35.560 –> 29:41.320
two in the morning well it’s how much brandy I have but I’ve got a nasty
29:41.320 –> 29:46.120
feeling the kids at the campsites stole my brandy unless I packed it and forgot
29:46.120 –> 29:50.680
where I packed it I need to that’s what I need to do tonight is go back and do
29:50.680 –> 29:57.080
is unpack finally unpack all my food and stuff just been sitting there and
29:57.080 –> 30:00.960
hopefully hasn’t been attacked by pesties
30:00.960 –> 30:10.200
hopefully hasn’t been stolen so I’ll speak to you soon

00:00.000 –> 00:15.720
So, I’m just checking out Chideock. I don’t know if it’s Chiduck or Chidiock. I mentioned
00:15.720 –> 00:30.160
it in the last podcast. It’s not C-H-I-D-E-O-C-K, but probably Chiduck, I hope. And just walking
00:30.160 –> 00:36.440
down the river, Winifred, I think this, Winifred, Winifred, I think Winifred. Lots of Winfrids,
00:36.440 –> 00:42.800
it’s a Winifrid, probably a local saint. Or Deity, you never know. I have to say the
00:42.800 –> 00:52.920
Chiduk is very beautiful. Lots of taxed cottages. Amazingly beautiful in places. You know, some
00:52.920 –> 01:00.480
modern ones. The only thing, of course, especially this time, and it’s train strike day, big road
01:00.480 –> 01:09.440
through it, not always pavements and masses of traffic. But I found that, yes, there is
01:09.440 –> 01:16.840
a better route down to the… Hello, birdies. Hello, birdies. I’m walking through the fields
01:16.840 –> 01:21.400
down the footpath. That’s one way of getting to the campsite. This is a George Inn. So if
01:21.400 –> 01:26.840
you ever want to go to Golden Cap Holiday Park, good advice. If you’re walking, get
01:26.840 –> 01:38.920
off at George Inn and take the footpath. The footpath is about 150 metres. Just up the
01:38.920 –> 01:47.800
road from there. And that will take you to the Big Berries Campsite directly. Or go down
01:47.800 –> 01:58.800
Mill Lane. Do not take Google’s advice and go down to the Seatown Road. The road to Seatown.
01:58.800 –> 02:04.520
I say Seatown. It’s probably Seatun, but Seatown is the beach. Because that’s just full of…
02:04.520 –> 02:11.200
I saw a lorry going up there, just closely followed by a massive caravan. It’s a slight
02:11.200 –> 02:17.920
tiny road, lots of people, lots of cars. It’s not fun to walk down. And also it’s steep.
02:17.920 –> 02:25.520
Whereas we’re going to see… I’m trialling each one. The middle lane is lovely and quiet.
02:25.520 –> 02:31.760
And then you’ve got the… Which takes you to the edge of the camp on that side. So you
02:31.760 –> 02:36.360
can get to Big Berries that way. Although, as I’m not sure about driving, you probably
02:36.360 –> 02:43.480
need to go to reception if you’re driving in. But I don’t care about what drivers do.
02:43.480 –> 02:52.680
This is a pedestrian bro-walking bog, yes. Sorry. But not sorry actually. But yeah, it
02:52.680 –> 02:59.080
looks like the footpath is possibly the best bet because this supposedly comes out right
02:59.080 –> 03:04.000
by where I’ve pitched my tent. So that’s probably the best way to exit. I’ve booked in for three
03:04.000 –> 03:10.960
days from here until Sunday. You’ve got to be confusing about days and stuff. So I’m
03:10.960 –> 03:14.840
pretty sure I’ve booked a Saturday night. I hope so. Because it goes getting quite busy
03:14.840 –> 03:21.560
at Saturday night. I’m guessing this might be famous last words as I always say. I’m
03:21.560 –> 03:27.480
guessing it’s going to be quieter on a Sunday night. Less people than me staying around
03:27.480 –> 03:32.040
on a Sunday night. Because though some people leave on a Monday, most people leave on a
03:32.040 –> 03:38.840
Sunday. So it should be easier. It’s always the Friday and Saturday nights that are the
03:38.840 –> 03:50.840
painful ones. And I think I’m probably looking over at booking things. Oh, AMSR. Gates AMSR.
03:50.840 –> 04:01.160
Looking at the various booking things. A lot of them are booked to be over the bank holiday
04:01.160 –> 04:07.240
weekend. And that was part of the problem. I assume it’s this way. No, the classic open
04:07.240 –> 04:15.160
field. Looks like there’s a path through it. But yeah, my bank holiday, I probably have
04:15.160 –> 04:20.280
to come back on the bank holiday. Because unless you’ve booked stuff, and I don’t want
04:20.280 –> 04:25.640
to go to another California farm. What I did last time was I stayed at California farm
04:25.640 –> 04:32.120
in Swatch. Do not ever stay at the California farm. Unless you are completely desperate.
04:32.120 –> 04:36.520
And in my case, I should have fucking just wild camp, I have to say. It would have been
04:36.520 –> 04:41.760
nicer and more interesting. And that’s what I might do. I might find somewhere to wild
04:41.760 –> 04:47.120
camp for a couple of days. It’d be same to sort of cut it short. But I, you know, I started
04:47.120 –> 04:53.880
on the, what was it, 11th. So a couple of weeks, it’s fine. I would be happy with two
04:53.880 –> 04:59.880
weeks, but it, you know, it depends. And also, I will try a few of the places and see if
04:59.880 –> 05:05.400
there’s anywhere. If not, I’ll take a view on the weather and, you know, what I want
05:05.400 –> 05:10.640
to do. But that, that was part of the reason why I was rushing to get down here. Because
05:10.640 –> 05:17.400
I was like, you know, that, that bunk holiday and the train strikes are sort of a hard,
05:17.400 –> 05:23.160
you know, to get down there before the train strikes. Then we have to, you know, we have
05:23.160 –> 05:27.600
to, you know, might have to cut it short by the bank holiday weekend because everywhere
05:27.600 –> 05:32.520
gets booked out just for that weekend, not before and after, just for that weekend. And
05:32.520 –> 05:40.960
it’s a, but who knows, you might find somewhere where we can slip into. So yeah, today’s fairly
05:40.960 –> 05:46.160
easy day. I’m going to go up to Golden Cap, as I promised. But I’m just going, heading,
05:46.160 –> 05:53.720
I’ve just been up to check the shopping, check, check the shopping in Chidwick, which is one
05:53.720 –> 06:00.680
shop, Spa. It’s sort of a bigger version of the spa that’s at Seton. So it’s, you know,
06:00.680 –> 06:04.040
there isn’t much there. There was actually a farm shop up the road, but it was a mile
06:04.040 –> 06:09.200
walk up the road. And I had a feeling that probably the lovely pavements were probably
06:09.200 –> 06:14.200
run out. And with all those masses of cars, I didn’t really fancy it. I might check that
06:14.200 –> 06:19.880
out at some point. You know, you never know where those farm shop places is. The reviews
06:19.880 –> 06:24.480
is, oh, everything you possibly need. And you find out and it’s all kind of like crystals
06:24.480 –> 06:35.640
and cinnamon poperies or whatever. You know, it’s, it’s never, it’s never all the shit
06:35.640 –> 06:42.920
I need anyway. So yeah, I’m, I’m, I’m doing the washing today that I couldn’t get done
06:42.920 –> 06:48.800
at Ulees, I’m sorry. Even when I left, the sign was still up, no washing, no customer
06:48.800 –> 06:57.880
washing. So why offer a laundry and then never have it available? It’s just crazy. So, um,
06:57.880 –> 07:04.960
they’ve got machines here. So I’m doing that. My solar power is currently charging my little
07:04.960 –> 07:14.760
battery because my big battery is a bit, a bit weird. And, uh, I have to stop here and
07:14.760 –> 07:18.880
I’ll probably stop this podcast here while I work out which of these paths is multiple
07:18.880 –> 07:29.240
paths. One looks like the sign, no footpath, right of way across bridge. Okay, I got no
07:29.240 –> 07:36.720
idea. I think it’s this one, but we’ll check in a second. But yeah, um, so yeah, I’m going
07:36.720 –> 07:42.720
to go up to, I’ve good, I haven’t had breakfast, done my washing, hopefully should have finished
07:42.720 –> 07:49.720
by now, hoping I was nicked in my clothes. Um, and I’ve done, done a bit of shopping.
07:49.720 –> 07:54.720
Did you have gluten free food here? That’s the problem for you. Um, I’m both, which is
07:54.720 –> 07:58.840
brilliant. I love that. I love that. Which more places, more little places to have little
07:58.840 –> 08:05.720
stocks of, I found my favorite brioche rolls. They went down a storm last time and I want
08:05.720 –> 08:11.880
to have seen them in Spar or occasionally ASDA, Schar brioche, sweet brioche rolls. And I got
08:11.880 –> 08:20.520
some sausages and I’m going to get some ice and, uh, at the shop and, and do my usual
08:20.520 –> 08:26.760
thing of, of trying to keep those cool until tonight. Uh, in the cool bag, I could put the
08:26.760 –> 08:35.080
cool bag in the freezer, but, uh, yeah, it’s, yeah, I don’t want it frozen because they
08:35.080 –> 08:42.080
have, uh, they campsite, they have a fridge for a freezer for not fridge. They have a freezer
08:42.080 –> 08:47.560
for, uh, food, uh, not food, uh, for ice packs. And so I got some ice in there and so that
08:47.560 –> 08:50.880
makes it a bit more cheaper because before I was buying the ice bags and then basically
08:50.880 –> 08:57.840
just using the rest of the ice back to sort of chill down the, the cool bag for a bit,
08:57.840 –> 09:05.200
but, you know, it didn’t last, last maybe a day possibly. So yeah, it was a bit, whereas
09:05.200 –> 09:09.800
this way I can actually buy a bag of ice and then just use bits that I want and just chuck
09:09.800 –> 09:18.560
them into the, you know, into my various receptacles and then store, store the ice. That’s brilliant.
09:18.560 –> 09:27.560
So yes. So I’m sure I will talk to you all. I suspect there’s only one person listening
09:27.560 –> 09:35.360
to this. Hello Angus. Um, hello if anyone else is listening to this. They’re all rambling
09:35.360 –> 09:39.720
long Tim’s long rambles in the country. So I try and keep them short as possible. They
09:39.720 –> 09:45.160
have been going 20, 30 minutes recently. So, you know, big stuff has been happening. Well
09:45.160 –> 09:55.320
for me anyway. And yes, so I’ll probably speak to you on golden cap or shortly after I finally
09:55.320 –> 10:02.760
left the campsite at lunchtime, it was, there’s just lots of things I had to do. Like I washed
10:02.760 –> 10:09.600
the clothes I tried to get washed at Uli’s farm, but there things never did. And, you
10:09.600 –> 10:15.440
know, food shopping, went to Chideock or Chiduck, whatever it was called and all that sort of
10:15.440 –> 10:22.960
stuff. But yes, I said I’d talk to you from golden cap. I’m about halfway up golden cap.
10:22.960 –> 10:31.120
My feet hurt. Um, but in a weird way, it’s a lot more genteel than the, the bits around
10:31.120 –> 10:42.200
Lulworth and Durdle Door. Because there are these benches halfway up, which is like, my
10:42.200 –> 10:49.760
God, something like that. And the places that I was, I was walking, you know, sort of on
10:49.760 –> 10:56.440
Tuesday and last week. So yeah, and the steps and parts and stuff like that. So it’s kind
10:56.440 –> 11:04.840
of a mixture of the sort of the big steps from Durdle Door and, and the wildness
11:04.840 –> 11:19.320
of Mupe Bay or parts of Lulworth. And yeah, you know, it’s, it’s a, I was getting really
11:19.320 –> 11:23.640
antsy. I can actually see the campsite from here. You know, it’s just like, when am I
11:23.640 –> 11:27.560
going to leave? When am I going to leave? Those things that will get some ice, you know,
11:27.560 –> 11:33.360
for the cool bag, you know, and the sausages I got, because I got some brioche, was the
11:33.360 –> 11:39.000
brioche I got some, was it pork, ginger beer and marmalade sausages. That’s really bizarre,
11:39.000 –> 11:42.840
but they sounded really interesting. So I got them, but I was worried that they would
11:42.840 –> 11:48.800
spoil by the time I get back because although it’s not a heat wave, it’s still quite warm.
11:48.800 –> 11:55.040
As I’m finding, walking up this hill, a very big hill, well, the thing that I go on camp
11:55.040 –> 11:59.760
is people talk about is that it’s actually the highest place, certainly in the South
11:59.760 –> 12:05.280
Coast, I think along, it’s the highest pace of the South Coast. I don’t know, obviously
12:05.280 –> 12:09.000
it’s not, I don’t think it’s the highest, you know, places in Scotland, whatever, probably
12:09.000 –> 12:12.920
have higher cliffs and things, but it’s, it is the highest place in the South Coast. So
12:12.920 –> 12:17.400
it has that notoriety. And well, obviously lots of people come, so hence they have things
12:17.400 –> 12:23.560
like benches. And by the way, this is the Mullins 4 Lid Bench, I think that’s what I’m
12:23.560 –> 12:30.560
saying, Mullins 4 Lid. That’s what it has scratched into it. So the Mullins 4 Lid Base
12:30.560 –> 12:33.880
Camp, although it’s not Base Camp, because the second one is, what’s this Base Camp
12:33.880 –> 12:39.040
2, Camp 2, I don’t know, Camp 1, Camp 2, so Base Camp will be the campsite, so I suppose
12:39.040 –> 12:49.080
this is probably Base Camp 2, or the Wild Camp 2. But yeah, I will continue in a bit.
12:49.080 –> 12:56.760
It’s just, it’s very nice looking it over to, I think it’s Thorncombe beaacon and the beach,
12:56.760 –> 13:02.280
looking rather golden for something that’s actually a bunch of pebbles. And yeah, it’s
13:02.280 –> 13:09.280
amazing the erosion around here. You can, I took pictures of a fence just hanging over
13:09.280 –> 13:15.160
the precipice, it’s just hanging there in mid-air. And I didn’t get too close. And there
13:15.160 –> 13:22.240
are frequent landslides here. Or you can see them on the beach. Apparently that’s a good
13:22.240 –> 13:27.800
time when there’s been storms or landslips to find fossils, because this area is very
13:27.800 –> 13:40.400
well known for fossils. More, well more Bridport I think, but this area as well. Famous female
13:40.400 –> 13:49.440
sort of early dinosaur archaeologist and fossil collector, I can find my name at the
13:49.440 –> 13:58.440
moment. She was I think, I think she was Bridport. But yes, it’s West Bay, but yeah, Bridport.
13:58.440 –> 14:08.400
That’s the way. Yeah, it’s nice to get out and about and it’s nice to get up here. It’s
14:08.400 –> 14:14.120
alternating between blowing a gale, being a moody, which is, when I was walking I was
14:14.120 –> 14:18.720
like, great, it’s moody, it’s cold, it’s my rain, that’s perfect walking weather for
14:18.720 –> 14:25.000
me. Then of course the sun comes out and it’s like, and then it goes back to being all grumpy
14:25.000 –> 14:34.840
again. So yeah, I’m waiting out the warm bit. So I’ll speak to you hopefully from the top.
14:34.840 –> 14:43.560
Hello from Golden Cap. It’s not like it’s Everest, okay, too. I’ve been on top of it.
14:43.560 –> 14:50.320
On top of your Golden Cap for the last couple of hours because I did a painting from the
14:50.320 –> 14:58.240
top and the weather changed. So it went from, you know, your breeze, sunny to, you know,
14:58.240 –> 15:06.640
the golden cliffs and all of that to blowing a gale. It was like a moop all over again,
15:06.640 –> 15:13.720
Mupe Bay where I stayed and then it just got windier and windier. I was painting from
15:13.720 –> 15:22.560
the trigonometry point at the top, which must be the highest point of Golden Cap. And it’s
15:22.560 –> 15:28.160
a piece, well I think I probably called it a view from Golden Cap. And it’s on, I think
15:28.160 –> 15:36.240
it’s on the cotton paper, the Fabriano cotton paper. It’s, I use using the Hevergood
15:36.240 –> 15:44.480
my trusty, I say fairly trusty. You have to press down slightly on it to get marks sometimes.
15:44.480 –> 15:54.720
But my trusty Evergood vintage pen. And yeah, it was true about, I don’t know, about an
15:54.720 –> 16:01.280
hour and a half, something over an hour. It’s had such a time. And I kept sort of stopping
16:01.280 –> 16:08.560
and holding on to it for dear life because I was worried that the work was going to run
16:08.560 –> 16:19.840
away over a cliff, as well as also the watercolours and almost a little watercolours sponge I tried
16:19.840 –> 16:25.600
to escape and all of my stuff. So yeah, someone wanted to take a picture of me holding it
16:25.600 –> 16:33.920
from the view and I was like, no chance. Sorry, not in this wind. So yes, that’s a good work
16:33.920 –> 16:38.400
to be done. I’m going to now walk to Charmouth. Apparently, allegedly there’s a bus at seven,
16:38.400 –> 16:44.400
just before eight o’clock. We’ll find out if that exists or not. I’m sure there’s probably a more
16:44.400 –> 16:50.800
less up and down the way back if not. But yeah, or even walk across the road. I’ve got my trekking
16:50.800 –> 16:58.320
poles, I can really piss off the drivers. But yeah, I think from now on it’s a bit less upy,
16:58.320 –> 17:03.360
really, all the way around to Charmouth. And then I can actually see Lyme Regis in the distance.
17:03.920 –> 17:09.440
I know that’s quite a flat from there a bit. But I don’t recognise any of this. So
17:11.360 –> 17:14.800
I’m not exactly sure why I was in Lyme Regis. Maybe I was walking the other way.
17:14.800 –> 17:21.360
I’m not really sure why I never did Golden Cap because I don’t recognise any of this. Maybe
17:21.360 –> 17:26.800
I’ll see something and go, oh, I recognise this now. But no, I don’t recognise any of this. So
17:27.440 –> 17:34.640
this is all new to me. Good. But yeah, it’s nice to sort of break new ground on these things.
17:35.600 –> 17:36.880
So I’ll speak to you later.
17:36.880 –> 17:44.400
I’m waiting for the last few sausages to cook. Today’s been a weird kind of day.
17:45.840 –> 17:53.600
After I spoke to you, I went down from Golden, well, I went down from Golden Cap.
17:55.360 –> 18:01.360
And then the heavens opened. It just is amazing how quickly it changed from being all sunny to just
18:01.360 –> 18:09.040
misty. A bit like a turtle door. The weather is highly changeable at Golden Cap.
18:10.800 –> 18:18.720
You know, and I’m not unprepared. But even so, I decided to walk the Charmouth. And it was just
18:18.720 –> 18:26.720
blowing a gale and blowing rain in my face. It was just like, oh dear. And also, I did get some
18:26.720 –> 18:37.360
prior warning from someone who I spoke to on the way up at Golden Cap. I said, oh, it’s, you know,
18:37.360 –> 18:42.560
it’s easy from here. And I said, oh, you do have to go off to the edge of Stone Barrow. I was at
18:42.560 –> 18:50.960
Stone Barrow. And then I got to Stonebarrow Hill. And I was like, oh, fuck. It’s not as bad as
18:50.960 –> 18:59.120
Golden Cap. But after you’ve done Golden Cap, and you’ve come down from that, and I went to Saint
18:59.120 –> 19:05.200
Gabriel’s Chapel, which is really nice. And if it wasn’t blowing a gale and raining, I would have
19:05.200 –> 19:12.000
drawn or painted that area. Because I think it’s beautiful. I’m not really a spiritualist.
19:12.000 –> 19:21.120
Well, I’m an atheist. But sometimes you can understand, when you see spaces like that,
19:21.680 –> 19:27.840
why people put them there and why people worship there. There’s just something there. And
19:29.040 –> 19:36.800
sadly, it’s a ruined chapel. But it’s, there is a real beauty there. Even what’s left.
19:36.800 –> 19:44.960
And yeah. So that’s what delayed me a bit. And then the heavens opened, as I went from there.
19:44.960 –> 19:49.360
I kind of got lost. So I ended up going up the wrong track. And I was actually going away from
19:49.360 –> 19:55.440
the coast for a while. I had to go to all back. And then I was worried about the bus
19:56.000 –> 20:00.640
evening existing because one site said it existed. And then I looked at X 51. It was like, oh,
20:00.640 –> 20:06.320
it’s not there. It turns out it’s the X 53. And so it does exist. But I got the earlier one.
20:06.320 –> 20:13.120
There’s a scamper to try and get the early one. And I realized that as I had got to the top of
20:13.120 –> 20:18.800
Stonebarrow Hill, which is not as tall as Golden Cap. But after you’ve done Golden Cap, you’re
20:18.800 –> 20:23.040
like, you’re a bit exhausted. And suddenly you hit by this, a couple of miles later,
20:23.040 –> 20:28.320
you’re a mile so later, you hit by this other hill, which is just, just too much.
20:28.320 –> 20:37.360
And so, yeah, be warned about that. Charmouth itself looks interesting. Much more,
20:38.320 –> 20:44.160
much more kind of stuff there. And I thought I thought it’d be a village. It’s more like a town.
20:46.240 –> 20:51.200
It’s more like the kind of suburb of Lyme Regis. Lyme Regis actually looks like,
20:51.200 –> 20:57.280
but it’s much more urbanized than I thought it’d be. But I didn’t get a chance to look at the
20:57.280 –> 21:05.440
charmous itself or, you know, the actual bay and the river and that kind of stuff because I had to
21:05.440 –> 21:11.680
just run for a bus because I wanted to get back here before eight. And it’s good, I did, because
21:11.680 –> 21:17.520
I’m now cooking, it’s 840 and I’m cooking sausages and, you know, it’s starting to go dark. But also
21:18.880 –> 21:23.440
it’s been blowing a gale. So I’m worried about the tent. So I’ve been sort of
21:23.440 –> 21:32.960
trying to shear up the tent. My tent is off now. I think it’s probably done. Yeah, I did my version
21:32.960 –> 21:40.080
of a barbecue. I don’t know how much I wrecked that pan. I have a kind of a griddle. It’s supposed
21:40.080 –> 21:51.440
to be a smoking, a fish smoking pan, I think. I found it in a Chinese, a Chinese shop and
21:51.440 –> 21:59.280
it’s like a little sort of smoking griddle thing and it has a detachable griddle thing,
21:59.280 –> 22:08.560
which is good for toast. And it has the main thing you can use with sausages. But I found that today
22:08.560 –> 22:16.240
the bigger sausages, which are, of all things, ginger beer and marmalade, how bare is that?
22:16.240 –> 22:26.800
I’m eating pork ginger beer and marmalade. Just call me Paddington. Yeah. So it works better.
22:26.800 –> 22:30.480
We just did just the bottom bit, but I was probably making a bit of a mess. I don’t really care
22:30.480 –> 22:36.720
because this canister is supposedly near finishing. Although I can’t believe this canister,
22:36.720 –> 22:41.680
this large canister of camping gas, which I’ve had for nearly two decades, I’m just sitting there
22:41.680 –> 22:46.320
and I’ve done several big meals with it thinking it’s going to run out, it’s going to run out,
22:46.320 –> 22:52.560
it’s going to run out. It just hasn’t. And it’s crazy. I think it’s, obviously, it was mostly
22:52.560 –> 22:59.200
followed. I think just sat there. So, you know, I’m using it. But yeah, I’m a bit pissed off about
23:00.080 –> 23:08.000
I bought some, I’ve invented the brandy Xander, the gay or queer version of brandy Alexander,
23:08.000 –> 23:18.000
which is Rose Prosecco and brandy. Unfortunately, I put, I propped the bottle against the tents
23:18.000 –> 23:23.600
with the wind or me knocked over the bottle. So I lost some of the Prosecco. So now it’s
23:23.600 –> 23:35.200
kind of mostly brandy. And I’m fine with that. Completely shitfaced. It’s, yeah, I got very
23:35.200 –> 23:41.840
wet, cold on my feet, really fucking hurt. And I even, I probably leave it behind, but I even got
23:41.840 –> 23:49.040
this folding bowl, just so I could put my feet in hot water. Because one of the problems with
23:49.040 –> 23:54.800
these things is you get hot showers, great. What you really need if you’re walking is actually
23:54.800 –> 24:02.960
somewhere to soak your feet. The problem being is, you know, I don’t usually do that because,
24:02.960 –> 24:08.880
you know, you need to carry a bowl. Who carries a bowl with them? You know, I got this folding thing
24:08.880 –> 24:13.360
and I probably leave it behind just a bit wasteful, but maybe someone else will be able to use it.
24:14.640 –> 24:19.840
But I was just like, I’ll screw it. I really, really, really want to soak my feet.
24:21.200 –> 24:27.440
I think they will, they will, they will help because they were really hurting on,
24:27.440 –> 24:34.320
especially waiting for the bus. Of course, there was no seats. Of course, the bus shelter has no
24:34.320 –> 24:48.560
seats. So yeah, big success in walking two big Jurassic Coast clippy things in one day.
24:48.560 –> 24:58.160
One surprise in the middle of a fucking rainstorm, part of it, and doing a watercolor as well.
24:58.160 –> 25:01.040
I would have done more. I’d say I would have drawn that chapel, I would have painted it,
25:01.040 –> 25:07.520
whatever it wasn’t for this. It’s just, you know, it wasn’t really bad rain. I mean, I only had my
25:07.520 –> 25:13.680
pacamac on for some of it, but enough to just be like, no, I can’t, I can’t work in this.
25:13.680 –> 25:20.080
I’ve tried. I’ve tried. I’ve got the very strange results to prove it.
25:23.680 –> 25:31.760
So yeah, we’ll see how my feet are tomorrow. And I’ll probably, if they are fucked, I’ll do a
25:32.880 –> 25:40.320
bus day and go to Abbotsbury and Bridport. And I’ve got a bit of food locally, but I might,
25:40.320 –> 25:45.520
you know, might do, they’ve got a Waitrose in Bridport. Um, oh yeah, it’s a roller port.
25:46.400 –> 25:50.080
Um, I saw that on the bus and I was like, oh, Waitrose.
25:52.880 –> 26:00.320
How middle class am I? I’m not, I’m working class, but yeah, Waitrose is an oasis of gluten-free
26:00.320 –> 26:07.600
food and things that, you know, the spa shops are quite good actually. The local spa shop here
26:07.600 –> 26:13.680
has gluten-free pasta, gluten-free pizza bases, and Schar, what I’m eating the,
26:15.840 –> 26:23.280
the sausages with, which is the, the Schar Brioche rolls, which I love. So that’s good. No,
26:23.280 –> 26:34.160
on the downside, no non non milk, milk. So no almond or oat milk. I know that’s a bit fucking
26:34.160 –> 26:38.800
trendy, but they just don’t go off as quickly, but one thing is I’m trying UHT for the first time.
26:40.400 –> 26:45.200
I had some bad experiences with UHT with those little, you know, there’s a little coffee. I
26:45.200 –> 26:49.840
used to have those, a store of those little coffee, you know, I didn’t, we didn’t have a fridge.
26:50.720 –> 26:57.440
And so I had a store of the little coffee creamer things. They go off. They do seriously go off
26:57.440 –> 27:05.120
and they seriously go off before the date. You might think, oh, no, the plastic milk,
27:05.120 –> 27:11.600
they go off at noon. And so yeah, I’m a little bit wary of UHT because it’s like, it’s great to
27:11.600 –> 27:17.600
store it for a long time, as long as you don’t open it. Since you open it, then the clock is ticking
27:17.600 –> 27:22.000
and it’s just like any other milk. So yeah, I’m not really sure if it’s going to be any better,
27:22.000 –> 27:28.080
but we’ll see. It’s a small amount. So it’d be nice to have something closer to milk in my, in my,
27:31.680 –> 27:39.360
in my cereal and coffee because I’m not a big fan of oatmeal. I just, I started drinking it because
27:40.320 –> 27:46.720
not a home, but just on these trips because it’s just the easiest to store. It doesn’t go off as
27:46.720 –> 27:53.520
quickly. So anyway, this is gonna be a fucking long podcast. Sorry about that. Weirdly, the
27:53.520 –> 28:03.600
wind has dropped over those days and it’s going dark and I have some solstice to eat. So I will
28:03.600 –> 28:10.640
speak to you soon. And yes, I hope you enjoy the artwork, which should be in the little episode
28:10.640 –> 28:16.560
artwork of this thing, which is a new piece, which I think I’m quite proud of. But as we’re now in a
28:16.560 –> 28:23.680
half, I think maybe two hours, I think an hour and a half. On top of a very windy golden cap,
28:23.680 –> 28:28.560
I’m amazed it got done at all given the fact that the golden cap is not unknown for being
28:28.560 –> 28:39.440
very mucca, mercurial. I have a too much brandy to say the word, with its weather. So I managed
28:39.440 –> 28:46.640
to get a slot where it wasn’t a nightmare, but I’d forgotten how weird the weather is at the golden
28:46.640 –> 28:55.600
cap. Well, I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard stories of it. So yeah, I’m proud of, I’ve done
28:55.600 –> 28:59.280
that little, you know, I managed to get a little window doing that. And the thing is,
28:59.280 –> 29:05.360
everyone else works on fucking photographs. And I’m just like, why? I said to someone,
29:05.360 –> 29:12.080
the person who told me about the Stonebarrow Hill, or his, I assume daughter, but I don’t know about
29:12.080 –> 29:20.080
this bloke, older bloke, why do I do this? Why do I do this? Why do I put myself through this?
29:20.800 –> 29:26.720
You know, everyone else works from a bloody photograph. A lot of the walk color artists
29:26.720 –> 29:31.280
you see out there, they work from photographs, they don’t do play and air at all. They don’t do
29:31.280 –> 29:35.840
real bloke. The reason why I get besieged by people going, Oh, what are you doing? It’s because
29:35.840 –> 29:44.720
artists are not going out there into the, into the field, literal field. And I feel a responsibility
29:44.720 –> 29:53.200
to do that. And it is annoying that my other artists aren’t fucking stepping up, you know,
29:53.200 –> 30:01.920
because I feel like we should be out there working. But that if you work from a photograph,
30:01.920 –> 30:07.520
you’ve got the limitation, the camera, and you’ve got the, all of the, you know, the lens distortion.
30:07.520 –> 30:16.160
I can fucking tell. I can tell. If you work from a photograph, I can tell. I was a photographer
30:16.160 –> 30:27.280
long enough to know that we’re all the tells of a photograph. And so many things have those
30:27.280 –> 30:34.400
tales. And it’s just like, seriously, if you’re going to work from photograph, at least learn
30:34.400 –> 30:40.480
photography and learn what to take out all the distortions and the color fringing and all
30:40.480 –> 30:48.400
sorts of stuff, don’t just do the cables there because that’s just stupid. But how many people
30:48.400 –> 30:52.880
do that? You know, they take a photograph and then they work from the photograph. This is like,
30:52.880 –> 30:58.880
why? Just show the photograph, just print the photograph, just print it on some nice paper
30:58.880 –> 31:03.520
and just put the photograph. Why do why go? Oh, look, I’ve turned it into watercolor. Well,
31:03.520 –> 31:14.160
that won’t do. Sorry, I had too much branding. But yeah, you know, I’m, you know, I might be
31:14.160 –> 31:21.120
weirdly hardcore about my extreme watercolor, but I feel very strongly about this that
31:22.880 –> 31:28.400
artists, if they’re working, should be working from nature, should always be working from nature,
31:28.400 –> 31:35.200
least their own stretch getchas. Never from a photograph. I’m very traditional about this.
31:38.320 –> 31:48.960
Because you just don’t get the, you don’t get the collapse of collapse of time because
31:50.240 –> 31:56.880
what’s amazing about a decent photograph? I’m sorry. What’s good? Well, the photograph is just
31:56.880 –> 32:03.600
a very small fraction of time. What’s great about a decent painting, a plein air painting,
32:03.600 –> 32:10.640
or drawing, is it’s actually a composite of time. Because as you light was happening at
32:10.640 –> 32:16.000
golden cap today, the light was changing. So I was adjusting for that. And I’m trusting, well,
32:16.000 –> 32:20.720
should I keep that bit? Or should I change that bit? Oh, the clouds have moved. Should I keep
32:20.720 –> 32:27.360
the old clouds, whatever? You know, and there’s those decisions all the time about how you treat,
32:27.360 –> 32:32.320
you know, Oh, there’s some people have arrived. Oh, a bird has arrived, or an animal has arrived,
32:32.320 –> 32:36.240
or, you know, should you include them? Should you not? And sometimes I do something they don’t.
32:37.440 –> 32:41.840
I quite often include birds in my photographs. And every time I include birds, it’s not like
32:42.800 –> 32:47.920
Bob Ross, it’s not happy little trees. I’m not inventing them. That bird was there.
32:47.920 –> 32:55.040
They might have stayed there, but it was there. And that’s the point. That’s the composite and the
32:55.680 –> 33:02.800
collapsing of time. So there’s two hours of your life in that work, that is collapsed into that
33:02.800 –> 33:11.120
scene. And I don’t think people get that. I really think that people do not get that about my work
33:11.120 –> 33:16.720
is that it’s not Oh, look, Tim has duplicated something in front of him that like camera could
33:16.720 –> 33:24.400
do in the 30s of a second. No, I’ve done something that camera can never do, which is
33:26.560 –> 33:32.000
basically take three hours or two hours of time or one hour, one half of time, and then put in all
33:32.000 –> 33:41.360
your emotions and your feelings and everything in there in one picture. And I think that’s pretty
33:41.360 –> 33:46.880
fucking amazing. And I just kind of get a bit knocked down hard sometimes because I was like,
33:46.880 –> 33:55.120
people just don’t get it. That to do that is a load of sequence of choices. And it’s not just
33:55.760 –> 34:02.160
Oh, click. Oh, you know, oh, I saw I saw so many people day get to the top of golden camp,
34:02.160 –> 34:07.520
take a picture and just fuck off. Or might stay there for about a few minutes and then go away.
34:07.520 –> 34:12.560
It’s different if you stand there and you’re at the triangulation point, painting of work and
34:12.560 –> 34:16.880
drawing and thinking, oh, why am I fucking doing this? I’m going to tap by wind. I’m wondering
34:16.880 –> 34:24.240
if all your work is going to basically be blown away into the channel. I don’t have a channel here
34:24.240 –> 34:34.960
is it? But I see. And yeah, I don’t think people consume in that way anymore. I think that’s sad.
34:34.960 –> 34:41.920
I think that’s sad. I think people should, you know, this whole thing about slow food,
34:41.920 –> 34:48.560
I think there’s should be a movement of slow art. Because I think people have got so used to consuming
34:48.560 –> 34:57.200
visual media at speed. And as a sort of instant like that, you know, that they’ve lost that ability
34:57.200 –> 35:05.840
to stop and think and work on something for, you know, half an hour or a day or 50 minutes or
35:06.640 –> 35:12.320
three days or whatever, you know, for a longer time than the 30th or 50th or 100th of a second.
35:14.640 –> 35:18.720
And that’s why I was talking about the unrecorded moment. And that’s why I was talking about the
35:18.720 –> 35:24.000
whole point about, you know, if you’re going to record a moment, make it fucking last, make it
35:24.000 –> 35:34.400
actually something that takes a time, you know, takes a decent time to do, or don’t bother, or,
35:34.400 –> 35:40.400
you know, or just leave it. Because if you’re going to try and capture the world in little clicks
35:40.400 –> 35:47.440
like that, one, you’ll miss the moment all the time, because by the time you’ve done it, the
35:47.440 –> 35:53.040
thing, the child, the animal, whatever fucked up, moved out of the way, it’s gone, the movement
35:53.040 –> 36:00.880
has gone. But if you sit there and enjoy all the moments, and then collapse them into one thing,
36:00.880 –> 36:08.320
that becomes like a hyper-reality. Well, I think it’s a bat. There’s a hyper-reality there which
36:08.960 –> 36:14.560
you can’t get from a photograph. And that’s the reason why, yes, it’s bats, excellent, there’s bats
36:14.560 –> 36:26.800
here. That’s a kind of thing you just cannot get from a photograph. People go, oh, photographs or
36:26.800 –> 36:32.800
AI, or even AI or any of those things. Oh, will they replace? No, they won’t. For that very reason,
36:32.800 –> 36:38.640
because you’re just making use, you’re becoming a kind of a time lord in a way, you’re kind of
36:38.640 –> 36:44.240
collapsing all these moments of time into one thing, and deciding, making all those decisions,
36:44.240 –> 36:49.760
and computers can’t do that. AI can’t do that. AI could do some of it, but it has to base it
36:49.760 –> 36:54.480
off something that’s already existing. It can’t create something completely new. I can draw something
36:54.480 –> 37:01.360
that AI would never draw in about five minutes. So, you know, this idea, are you worried about
37:01.360 –> 37:07.920
photography? No, because it doesn’t, it’s dumb. Photography is dumb in a way. It could be very
37:07.920 –> 37:13.680
highly creative, but it’s also very stupid. And the same with AI, it doesn’t really know what
37:13.680 –> 37:19.280
it sees. And it certainly doesn’t know that, oh, look, 50 minutes in, a blackbird arrived,
37:19.280 –> 37:24.880
a raven arrived, or someone came along and talked to you about your artwork, or someone, you know,
37:24.880 –> 37:28.240
popped up and said your tent was at the wrong angle. That happened yesterday.
37:30.240 –> 37:33.280
Yeah, someone was having a go, how can you sleep in your tent like that? And I was like, looking
37:33.280 –> 37:38.720
at other tents at the same angle, thinking, why are you even having a go at them? Very strange.
37:38.720 –> 37:44.560
Anyway, it’s 20 minutes, I better stop this. This is going to be a very long podcast. Tim
37:44.560 –> 37:54.000
rants at dark while bats sweep soup for their sausages. And he drinks brandy Xander podcast.
37:54.000 –> 38:10.000
Yeah, I better stop here.

00:00.000 –> 00:14.960
I’m walking along the river in Bridport. I’m just doing some shopping here and then
00:14.960 –> 00:21.640
heading off to Abbotsbury to have a look at that place in the castle. I’ll say my after
00:21.640 –> 00:29.320
the five miles yesterday which is fairly grueling and had to rush in places which I don’t like
00:29.320 –> 00:35.680
to do. My feet are actually hurting just from doing the shopping. Now they do have a weight
00:35.680 –> 00:43.400
chose here but the weight chose is rather limited. It makes me hope for, makes it do the
00:43.400 –> 00:49.600
impossible, hope for our marks and expenses and I’m not a fan of either shop but interestingly
00:49.600 –> 00:57.640
though it’s miles out of town, well not miles but it’s a long schlep. Morrison’s do a much
00:57.640 –> 01:07.760
bigger free from range than Waitress which is not what I expect. Yes so if you’re going
01:07.760 –> 01:12.480
to Bridport, this weekend is the Bridport Carnival. I don’t know if I’m going to see
01:12.480 –> 01:21.440
any of it because a lot of it is parades in the evening and of course lovely bus service
01:21.440 –> 01:28.680
and I don’t really fancy walking back. So I don’t know what to do. I’m half tempted
01:28.680 –> 01:33.520
to because on Sunday there’s a torch lit procession which sounds all very wonderfully
01:33.520 –> 01:39.720
wicker man to the beach at which point they set fire to the man. No I don’t know what
01:39.720 –> 01:48.200
they do at the beach, they’re probably dancing but yeah it’s I’m half thinking of moving
01:48.200 –> 01:57.680
to Bridport, the nearby campground, Bridport. Now I think it’s called, which I had a look on
01:57.680 –> 02:03.520
the way here on because the bus goes directly past it, it’s very convenient for the bus.
02:03.520 –> 02:11.760
But it’s right in the middle of a sort of very touristy conurbation but and kind of
02:11.760 –> 02:16.240
like well it’s like an overspill of Bridport. I mean obviously West Bay seems to be kind
02:16.240 –> 02:22.440
of different but it’s not. It’s a part of Bridport but it’s you know it’s kind of like the Bridport
02:22.440 –> 02:29.480
Merseyside version and where Bridport itself is quite, obviously quite quirky and poshunati.
02:29.480 –> 02:35.320
They’re not all of it, obviously Morrison’s and they have a little hair and stuff like
02:35.320 –> 02:46.040
that. It’s very, yeah there’s a whole suite of very quirky interesting shops, very hip
02:46.040 –> 02:51.880
strish all the way down South Street whereas if you go East Street and the other street
02:51.880 –> 02:54.400
was actually, I mean the West Street could be East, could be the continuation of East
02:54.400 –> 02:59.040
Street I don’t know, where you’ve got the waiters and all that. They’re all kind of
02:59.040 –> 03:04.240
a bit more what you’d expect from anywhere, you know the works, boots, superdrunk, blah
03:04.240 –> 03:08.400
blah blah. But a lot, a superdrunk was closed and a lot of these places were closed because
03:08.400 –> 03:14.840
of flood damage, they just had flooding here during the flash floods. The one that I think
03:14.840 –> 03:24.440
I managed to miss on Tuesday, there was warnings of flash flooding when we did that and obviously
03:24.440 –> 03:34.720
trying to get my pack off. Obviously when I got on my shopping and me and I’m feeling
03:34.720 –> 03:46.320
the pain and I’m going to sit down and rest my feet. But obviously the bus obviously stopped
03:46.320 –> 03:53.480
saying obviously. But yeah I managed to skip it because I was on the bus at the time. You
03:53.480 –> 04:00.520
know and so there was storms early part of last week on the Tuesday. I managed to miss
04:00.520 –> 04:06.080
most of them. So I got the storm yesterday but that wasn’t really a storm, that was more
04:06.080 –> 04:12.920
of a mist and rain but it wasn’t like a big flash flood like that. It wasn’t a big thunderstorm.
04:12.920 –> 04:20.200
I never saw it’s under a lightning but yeah it wasn’t a big deluge. It was more sort of
04:20.200 –> 04:28.080
mini deluge with wind whipping into your face. And obviously my very make do plastic bag
04:28.080 –> 04:35.240
type pack-a-mac, the cheap one doesn’t really cut the mustard and it just sounds like you’re
04:35.240 –> 04:40.760
sailing as flat flat flat flat flat flat meaning you’ve been deafened by flopping plastic.
04:40.760 –> 04:44.840
So yeah that wasn’t really a good part of it. But the rest of it was good less yesterday.
04:44.840 –> 04:53.600
Showing my feet are so fucked. Oh it hurt. It’s now hurting. I was having lunch here at the
04:53.600 –> 05:02.720
chip shop on that sort of just opposite or nearby Waitrosee just stops inside. And yeah
05:02.720 –> 05:08.560
it’s interesting the contrast. You look down South Street you see all these sort of antique-y
05:08.560 –> 05:15.040
but cool antique-y and barbers and you know hipster cafe type places and it’s all like
05:15.040 –> 05:21.360
ooh this is very hip and happening. Whereas yeah the main street is kind of very what
05:21.360 –> 05:28.800
you’d expect. Very Bournemouth. Bournemouth. Can I just say one thing? Bournemouth. So
05:28.800 –> 05:35.400
yeah it’s a nice place and I’ve got to come back here because I’m ordering a new battery
05:35.400 –> 05:43.000
because my other big battery has pretty much died. It’s gone really weird. I got it to
05:43.000 –> 05:50.880
charge at the shop. The shop does charging a golden app for £2 and it was charging from
05:50.880 –> 05:59.080
something like 10 o’clock to 7pm and it only half charged and that’s for a supposed device
05:59.080 –> 06:04.520
that is doing weird shit like that with the solar as well. For a device that’s supposed
06:04.520 –> 06:09.040
to be fast charging and I was using a fast charger it’s yeah I think it’s on its way
06:09.040 –> 06:16.000
out. I’ve dropped it too many times. You shouldn’t drop batteries kids. Don’t drop batteries
06:16.000 –> 06:25.160
kids. But yeah I tried to avoid dropping it. It’s not as hard to do so. I was using a bag
06:25.160 –> 06:29.840
or something and I think it’s banged. But yeah so I don’t know. It’s a shame. I haven’t
06:29.840 –> 06:34.680
done it quite a few years though. So I’ve done something I’ve never ever done before
06:34.680 –> 06:42.000
which is order something on holidays. It could go very very wrong and interestingly Amazon’s
06:42.000 –> 06:50.120
app is so shit for this. You’d think that I accidentally have Prime because I got the
06:50.120 –> 06:54.400
free 99p Prime before I went there to cancel it. So I was like well I might as well utilise
06:54.400 –> 07:00.880
that. You know get some of my money’s worth. And then you find out that oh you know little
07:00.880 –> 07:06.360
you know Chidok post office in the spa. No you know you select that because this cannot
07:06.360 –> 07:10.640
be delivered to this location. Because I put it in the whole location and it went yes we
07:10.640 –> 07:15.880
can deliver you know tomorrow to this location. And then you say okay well I’ve got the holiday
07:15.880 –> 07:20.000
parking. I was going to ask. I was going to order it and the answer was a bit naughty
07:20.000 –> 07:25.040
but I was going to say okay you can keep some posts for me. I’m sure it’ll be fine but you
07:25.040 –> 07:34.800
know I said no. I said that’s weird. And then I tried well okay Bridport then. And I tried
07:34.800 –> 07:39.400
the first Amazon locker. This locker is not working at this location. And I tried the
07:39.400 –> 07:43.280
other one. In fact the one I went past today at Morrison’s which looked very functional
07:43.280 –> 07:48.520
for something that the app says this is not functioning. I eventually chose a co-op one
07:48.520 –> 07:56.600
that worked. So I’ve got a kind of 15 minute walk outside of Bridport tomorrow or Sunday
07:56.600 –> 08:03.000
because I’ve always collected it on the way out with all my shit. Rather not because that
08:03.000 –> 08:09.440
would be a long schlep, extra schlep with all my rucksacks. So I’d rather avoid that. But
08:09.440 –> 08:14.240
it depends where I end up. If I end up in West Bay it’s going to be something I can
08:14.240 –> 08:21.680
maybe walk to or take a bus to. So it’s not really that much of a problem. But yeah certainly
08:21.680 –> 08:25.480
I’m thinking about what to do on Sunday because I quite like the idea of sticking around here
08:25.480 –> 08:36.240
maybe next day. It really depends on my feet. It really depends on availability. As I said
08:36.240 –> 08:40.240
I don’t think Sunday is a good day. But you’ve got this added thing of this carnival thing
08:40.240 –> 08:47.160
so maybe they are booked up over the carnival. I don’t know. I would expect a lot of people
08:47.160 –> 08:55.840
would go. They’ve got jobs on Monday so unless it’s some kind of bank holiday I don’t know
08:55.840 –> 09:02.000
about. That’s the end of August anyway. Yeah people will have to go. So I expect there will
09:02.000 –> 09:08.360
be some space. Not everyone can get work off on Mondays. Because it goes quite late unless
09:08.360 –> 09:21.440
you’re a local. Unless you’re a local it goes on to 9 o’clock or something like that on
09:21.440 –> 09:26.760
the beach. So it’s too late for the procession. I think the procession can get tortures from
09:26.760 –> 09:33.160
6 and the procession starts at 7 or 8. It goes on to 9 plus. So basically it goes over
09:33.160 –> 09:39.960
and over on the beach. That must be more of a local thing. I could easily walk back from
09:39.960 –> 09:46.200
East Bay to West Bay. It’s a short distance. Whereas if I’m still staying at where I am
09:46.200 –> 09:52.840
now not so convenient. So it really depends on how I get on tomorrow with. But then again
09:52.840 –> 09:59.120
if I’m in West Bay I could do the reverse walk. So it’s not too far. So I might ask
09:59.120 –> 10:05.800
if I can find a weapon tomorrow and see if they’ve got any space. The default answer to
10:05.800 –> 10:13.040
a lot of the holy parks is no. Even though I can fit anywhere. And it’s rather annoying
10:13.040 –> 10:18.440
because the camping and caravan in places do keep spaces for walkers. The holy parks
10:18.440 –> 10:23.960
don’t. Even though there’s acres of space being wasted by someone awning or whatever
10:23.960 –> 10:30.760
or even not being used at all. I mean it’s supposed to be completely. You only have five
10:30.760 –> 10:40.560
spaces left on Saturday. I’ve got one of the last five spaces. We’ll see what that looks
10:40.560 –> 10:46.240
like. I can’t even think of a space I could easily have squeezed into. And that’s why usually
10:46.240 –> 10:52.280
if you’ve got a small tent it’s not a problem to drop in on campsites. But that is traditional
10:52.280 –> 10:59.480
campsites. And camping and caravan in campsites. The holy parks tend to be a bit more kind of
10:59.480 –> 11:03.280
oh well someone’s going to obviously want a car and obviously have five trillion kids
11:03.280 –> 11:08.800
and obviously you know they have this big demarcation zone around each thing you know.
11:08.800 –> 11:13.200
Which is quite funny when I’m in a plot on this little tiny tent and it’s like you can
11:13.200 –> 11:20.600
fit ten of me in there. Well we’ve got ten you know. But that’s how they deal with it.
11:20.600 –> 11:24.640
Oh well that’s the space. And so they get in quotes booked up but they’re not really
11:24.640 –> 11:29.800
booked up because there’s three meter space around everything. You know which you don’t
11:29.800 –> 11:39.720
need for you know a small tent. I mean having done the park you know camping next to angry
11:39.720 –> 11:47.280
caravaners in Corfe Castle I would say there is some argument for separating caravan people
11:47.280 –> 11:57.320
from absolutely everyone because they are angry motherfuckers who are just a real pain
11:57.320 –> 12:01.880
in the ass. I mean you think they’re bad on the roads. You should try them in a camping
12:01.880 –> 12:08.600
and caravan park. Luckily the people that were part of the ethos of the camping and
12:08.600 –> 12:14.520
caravan club were like no sorry you’re fine. You’re all the reason we exist. We’ll always
12:14.520 –> 12:19.240
be pro walker and defend me against the caravan people but they were just like they had these
12:19.240 –> 12:24.320
massive cars and these massive motor homes or caravans and they expected to have like
12:24.320 –> 12:28.960
five trillion room you know and they got upset and slight thing and you’re like oh you are
12:28.960 –> 12:34.400
twats really you are twats. Sorry if you’re a caravan but seriously my experience so far
12:34.400 –> 12:46.800
has not been good. Possibly worse than mobile home people because I’ve met some people who
12:46.800 –> 12:53.560
are staying in the mobile homes back in Preston who are lovely. There was a very nice guy
12:53.560 –> 12:59.480
called Tony who was very interested in what I was doing and he was quite cute as well
12:59.480 –> 13:06.320
and he was there with his wife and family and was disabled but he was using strollers
13:06.320 –> 13:12.040
and whatever and we chatted as I walked up to the bus out there about being an artist
13:12.040 –> 13:17.680
and things like that. So you know they weren’t all horrible it’s just you know my experience
13:17.680 –> 13:27.440
in a lot of holiday parks has been the campers are fine. The caravans are just you know no
13:27.440 –> 13:34.680
one likes the caravan people and the way behind people can be kind of like somewhere in between.
13:34.680 –> 13:40.680
You know they can be very standoffish or very friendly it’s very difficult to know. So anyway
13:40.680 –> 13:48.200
oh my god 30 minutes and I’ve got to try and get the bus to Abbotsbury for having a rest
13:48.200 –> 13:57.640
really. Yeah I know it’s nice and red for you know I did some sort of interestingly
13:57.640 –> 14:03.960
funky sort of small or independent tea type business stuff going on and some art stuff
14:03.960 –> 14:09.680
as well. It’s not really focused on level yet but you can see some of it there. There
14:09.680 –> 14:14.800
was a weird bit of art going up Golden Camp done apparently something to do with the local
14:14.800 –> 14:20.960
primary school. I almost drew it thinking it was a natural wooden you know it was like
14:20.960 –> 14:25.960
that’s such a strange shape for you know for the tree and I realised oh no it’s joined
14:25.960 –> 14:33.920
together it’s a sculpture that I’m interested in. And I went into a gallery here and I was
14:33.920 –> 14:41.920
like the artist is there talking about work and I was like yeah I better get out of here
14:41.920 –> 14:47.560
because I just took one look at the work and went oh dear. Sorry artist can be very judgmental
14:47.560 –> 14:59.840
I was just like noooo. Yes. And I saw another one who’s a guy who’s doing ink and scalpel
14:59.840 –> 15:05.440
drawings obviously basically they’re from old photographs or they look like old photographs
15:05.440 –> 15:12.440
they look like old kind of like daguerreotypes. Very realistic incredibly hyper realistic
15:12.440 –> 15:18.040
and he did abstract. The abstracts I really like I was like oh they’re interesting. I
15:18.040 –> 15:21.600
assume he’s doing the other stuff for sale but it’s obviously from a photograph and you
15:21.600 –> 15:29.760
know I’m not a big fan of people working from you know somewhere you can’t go to where
15:29.760 –> 15:36.760
you can’t draw or you can’t visit. I think working for photographs is just a bit of
15:36.760 –> 15:39.840
shit for an artist I think you put it out there and experience the real thing because
15:39.840 –> 15:45.440
the real thing is always better. I learned that in the lockdown that the portraits I
15:45.440 –> 15:52.240
did the online stuff we tried to do is life drawing and whatever. It just wasn’t the same
15:52.240 –> 15:55.360
as something three dimensional because you get to know the person, you get the personality
15:55.360 –> 16:00.680
of the person coming through, you’ve got all this you know extra information as they move
16:00.680 –> 16:07.560
around and who they are in that space about the thing in that space and it’s much more
16:07.560 –> 16:14.320
than just you know oh I’ve got this line right and the shape and the form. There’s
16:14.320 –> 16:22.200
all this extra stuff which we pick up as artists all this extra things that we do. It’s not
16:22.200 –> 16:30.000
you know feelings and also you know interaction with the subject whatever it is and the passage
16:30.000 –> 16:36.960
of time so it’s a lot more than just representation. Anyway I’ll shut up now.
16:36.960 –> 16:44.880
Yes I don’t like days like today when the vagaries of limited public transport get in
16:44.880 –> 16:52.720
the way of me doing work because by the time I finished in Bridport it was like two, two
16:52.720 –> 17:00.920
ish three and I was like oh I’ll go up to Abbotsbury. There are buses going from Chalmers
17:00.920 –> 17:09.640
that’s sort of seven ish so there must be buses coming back. Yes, no. Well kind of I
17:09.640 –> 17:17.400
mean the last one from Chalmers is something like close to eight whereas it turns out the
17:17.400 –> 17:24.680
last bus you can get for the for well it’s not the Bridport part that’s the problem
17:24.680 –> 17:30.520
you can get but later buses to Bridport what you can’t get is the last for some strange
17:30.520 –> 17:42.760
reason the last bus towards Chiddock and Chalmers way from Bridport leaves at 630 and so what
17:42.760 –> 17:48.280
I should have done is done the Abbotsbury stuff first and then headed back though actually
17:48.280 –> 18:01.840
going through Bridport like the Waitrosee was shut at 6 o’clock maybe so yeah it’s a because
18:01.840 –> 18:09.800
that’s what I was thinking should I go to Abbotsbury first so I got to see the Abbotsbury
18:09.800 –> 18:14.520
while they call it Hill Fort or Castle around around here they can call in castles and you
18:14.520 –> 18:18.200
have expectations of stones and it’s obviously that’s why they’ve changed on the sign so
18:18.200 –> 18:22.320
Hill Fort because that’s more accurate because I arrived and went oh yes it’s that kind of
18:22.320 –> 18:26.880
castle like Maiden Castle so that’s works and I was about to do some work when I actually
18:26.880 –> 18:32.600
went I’ll just double check the timing and I was like oh I had to scramble down to the
18:32.600 –> 18:40.600
bus stop which of course doesn’t have a bus sign which is always fun and then realize
18:40.600 –> 18:45.440
that actually I just missed the one before but there was another one and that was the
18:45.440 –> 18:52.600
last one and I had half an hour so I sat down and did a landscape sitting on the ground
18:52.600 –> 18:59.520
looking through a um I should have put it in the work really looking through a rusty
18:59.520 –> 19:06.600
gate because that was the only place I could sit down and did a piece in about 25 minutes
19:06.600 –> 19:11.640
so it was really half an hour but I actually stopped it just before so I could wait for
19:11.640 –> 19:16.120
the bus but I was like I know if I stopped or went or worked anywhere else I would get
19:16.120 –> 19:21.840
so engrossed with it that I would miss the bus and I’d be fucking stuck because you know
19:21.840 –> 19:26.800
although it’s a short it’s probably a short walk from Bridport to Chiddok it’s just something
19:26.800 –> 19:32.120
I didn’t want to do my feet still hurt so so you know it’s not like it’s always millions
19:32.120 –> 19:37.880
of miles but it’s it’s you know a fair few miles it’s a few miles so it’s you know it’s
19:37.880 –> 19:43.600
like two so I don’t know maybe it’s not two miles it’s maybe three or four so you know
19:43.600 –> 19:49.880
it’s not an impossible taxi journey or whatever but as it’s Carnival time it’s Bridport Carnival
19:49.880 –> 19:56.880
this weekend and yeah to rather not rely on taxis during the Carnival weekend that might
19:56.880 –> 20:05.600
just disappear not be available so yeah so what I’m doing is heading back to Seatown
20:05.600 –> 20:12.160
Golden Cap and I’ll do some work around there but and then get some food later but the thing
20:12.160 –> 20:20.080
is I think this has sealed my idea that the because of that vagaries of the bus the limited
20:20.080 –> 20:28.400
weirdly one-sided service of the X-51 after Bridport that my next move is definitely going
20:28.400 –> 20:37.840
to be that way and within that sort of bus area so I’m thinking of Sunday either go to
20:37.840 –> 20:43.480
West Bay or one of the ones I was considering before I made the jump all the way to Golden
20:43.480 –> 20:51.160
Cap and the annoying thing is I knew this I did do this research and then forgot it I
20:51.160 –> 20:58.440
did this research back in October and August last year I knew this stuff when it happens
20:58.440 –> 21:13.720
oh yes last bus Abbotsbury must get here early you know so yeah it’s just the same gate again
21:13.720 –> 21:29.880
probably you gate AMSR people there’s quite a lot of people camping in this field or something
21:29.880 –> 21:36.160
that’s a lot of people camping in the other fields around um no mobile home camping maybe
21:36.160 –> 21:46.760
to do with that but yes it’s so I mean depending on the carnival it might be impossible to
21:46.760 –> 21:59.520
get a place in West Bay but what as I said in the previous bit I would be surprised because
21:59.520 –> 22:02.880
very few people are going to wait around until nine o’clock at night and then have a drive
22:02.880 –> 22:10.640
back home and back up their tent unless they’ve got the day off next day you know which so
22:10.640 –> 22:14.880
the likelihood is people will come down on Saturday and the Sunday day time and then
22:14.880 –> 22:21.120
go home um or you know if they’re staying here for it and go home and miss the talks
22:21.120 –> 22:27.560
like procession which is a bit that I’m interested in and also the procession tomorrow if I might
22:27.560 –> 22:31.680
catch some of it because I’m planning to walk that way but obviously because of all of this
22:31.680 –> 22:37.680
I have to make sure I start early and not piss around on the campsite like I did I’ve
22:37.680 –> 22:42.520
done the last couple of days so just frustrating because I wanted to do more work I wanted
22:42.520 –> 22:48.200
to get more stuff done and I was just about to do try and do something I’ve never managed
22:48.200 –> 22:57.360
to do before which is I was trying to paint the paint tumour eyes this is the thing um
22:57.360 –> 23:02.200
nihilistic earthworks is an interest of mine but they’re impossible to depict because this
23:02.200 –> 23:06.720
is like lumps in the ground there’s nothing so most of the time there’s nothing there
23:06.720 –> 23:15.280
unless it’s stones you know um but yeah the sort of earthworks don’t really do very much
23:15.280 –> 23:20.200
maiden cast is probably big enough that you can you could you know see something in it
23:20.200 –> 23:25.840
but most of the time it’s like oh look it’s a bump in the ground and oh look it’s a ditch
23:25.840 –> 23:31.480
right but I was about to try and do but think it was being blasted by the wind so I walked
23:31.480 –> 23:36.440
around the site trying to find somewhere that wasn’t blasted by the wind I think I was about
23:36.440 –> 23:45.600
to try and do a view from a quick one until I realised oh actually not a good idea because
23:45.600 –> 23:51.960
the last bus is in about 50 minutes well then I thought it was 30 minutes and then realised
23:51.960 –> 24:00.040
it was a bit you know a bit more time but not much time so yeah it’s just I don’t think
24:00.040 –> 24:07.240
people realise how much I mean I guess they do realise how much freedom they have with
24:07.240 –> 24:17.280
their cars the problem is there’s also so much you know limitations and also climate
24:17.280 –> 24:23.440
planet damage and green things with cars I hate them but you know I wouldn’t drive I
24:23.440 –> 24:28.760
think I wouldn’t drive now even if I could I mean I learned three times I did the test
24:28.760 –> 24:35.880
three times I did actually know how to drive I’m not really passing the test I know this
24:35.880 –> 24:48.040
because I did I did both I learned on both automatics and petrol cars diesel automatics
24:48.040 –> 24:56.560
and petrol’s geared and you know I knew how to drive I do know how to drive I just then
24:56.560 –> 25:00.680
I just get too nervous to test and they got to a point where I was like I moved to London
25:00.680 –> 25:06.480
and I was like well why I don’t like driving I never liked learning I didn’t like driving
25:06.480 –> 25:13.240
I just think it’s horrible so bring on the self-driving cars honestly but even then I
25:13.240 –> 25:25.880
would be unhappy with having a self-driving car unless it’s somehow not like you know
25:25.880 –> 25:30.640
like that I was looking at the people opposite the bus stop who have a cottage right next
25:30.640 –> 25:36.920
to the road and the road is a classic sort of doors that melt away they’re too late
25:36.920 –> 25:44.280
but you know a car every second that’s pretty horrible to put on anyone I’m not really happy
25:44.280 –> 25:52.440
with them anyway I’ve got to go and do some work and might post it’s part of this or not
25:52.440 –> 26:07.080
probably do post the quick 30 minutes I did I also do a drawing in a quick drawing as
26:07.080 –> 26:13.720
the bus you know similarly as the bus waiting for the bus in grid port of the clock tower
26:13.720 –> 26:19.080
which I might go and finish at some point or might not it depends again if I get stranded
26:19.080 –> 26:26.480
in or have time in grid port but I have to pick up this Amazon thing so I will plan to
26:26.480 –> 26:35.760
be in grid port tomorrow at some point in her walk there I mean the kiosk is 24 hours
26:35.760 –> 26:44.000
so you know we’ll get there whenever so that’s if it arrives all I’ll do on Sunday when I
26:44.000 –> 26:54.840
go through I’d rather not do that though but yes so hey that’s a lot busier now the campsite
26:54.840 –> 27:02.320
obviously maybe a lot of you are coming for the carnival anyway speak to you soon
27:02.320 –> 27:17.320
a dendam a windy hill above sea town on the way to Thorncrum beacon the next day but last
27:17.320 –> 27:26.920
night I after the bus sort of panic I decided to do some work on the beach and that’s the
27:26.920 –> 27:34.680
image you can see in the details it’s a graphite I tried to use the non-water soluble graphite
27:34.680 –> 27:38.840
on the mixed up so I ended up using the water soluble graphite because the idea was to use
27:38.840 –> 27:45.160
the graphite and then lay over some watercolour and then it ended up being like oh dear it’s
27:45.160 –> 27:55.640
all mixed up it’s a bit more darker than I thought but that’s the Lyra Lyra water soluble
27:55.640 –> 28:02.320
9b and there’s another piece an ink piece girls gonna be watercolour but I just left
28:02.320 –> 28:14.120
it as ink of Golden Xap being less golden at night I got very cold I you know it was
28:14.120 –> 28:20.920
you know even with my fleece on I got very cold on the beach and so I sort of called
28:20.920 –> 28:31.520
it a day I went and cooked some pasta in the dark pretty much or gloom that was alright
28:31.520 –> 28:39.840
although I have to say Lloyd Grossman should stick to making television shows his sources
28:39.840 –> 28:44.600
are a bit crap and they were okay but there were lots of lumps of vegetables in them and
28:44.600 –> 28:54.360
stuff it was a bolognese it was all I had in the bar shop at Chideock which annoyingly
28:54.360 –> 28:59.040
then I went to Bridport thought I could have got here but actually the the nice mushroom
28:59.040 –> 29:05.000
sauce that I got from M&S ooh my new Porsche well the thing is if I’m fucking slumming
29:05.000 –> 29:12.040
it which I am then I take nice food I’m not gonna have bargain budget food if the avoidance
29:12.040 –> 29:19.520
is the whole point is to avoid spending money on pub meals which I have done by one very
29:19.520 –> 29:26.440
good I had a fish and chips yesterday but so very good at not not eating out then make
29:26.440 –> 29:33.600
sure it’s tasty and nice and not shit so I’ve been sort of upscaling the food options where
29:33.600 –> 29:41.280
I can I mean Bridport really needs them doesn’t seem to have eminence and I’m surprised there
29:41.280 –> 29:46.240
were little Waitrose and it was very little really for Waitrose and I’m surprised they
29:46.240 –> 29:52.880
didn’t have all the head was tomato sauces all tomato sauces like dolmio their own it’s
29:52.880 –> 30:00.440
all the same stuff so you know but I read that there was very nice what I got in M&S
30:00.440 –> 30:08.760
and famous this mushroom pasta sauce is really lovely it doesn’t seem like Waitrose or it’ll
30:08.760 –> 30:16.600
be at all small Waitrose copied it and I got far too much pasta now so I might need to
30:16.600 –> 30:25.840
get some more sauce because I went to Morrison’s and got this box of pasta gluten free pasta
30:25.840 –> 30:31.120
because again Waitrose only had the fuselage and I can’t stand fuselage and get fuselage
30:31.120 –> 30:40.240
at the spa here I don’t like the texture but the yeah so and then there’s like five minutes
30:40.240 –> 30:43.880
all right and I was like I’ve poured into the bag because it was a box it’s gonna fall
30:43.880 –> 30:50.520
apart about five seconds and it was like oh crap I’ve got a lot of pasta so I better
30:50.520 –> 30:57.360
like pasta but yeah I’ve been partly here just eating lots of things trying to replace
30:57.360 –> 31:04.080
them but also just kind of reducing how much crap I have to carry and still the camping
31:04.080 –> 31:12.560
gas goes on it’s like really not you know it’s a lot lighter than it was which is good
31:12.560 –> 31:20.600
but still it’s like I’ve all the anyway so I’m gonna post this episode I have to say
31:20.600 –> 31:30.560
last night and this morning is it’s I don’t know I think after golden cap and the drenching
31:30.560 –> 31:40.600
I got there and then yesterday’s sort of boss chaos which means that I’m gonna try and move
31:40.600 –> 31:45.560
as I said the other side of Bridport so I’ve got the at least got the seven o’clockish
31:45.560 –> 31:59.320
buses but yeah I don’t know I hit a wall I’m not totally sure why kind of why am I doing
31:59.320 –> 32:15.560
this kind of depression wall there are a couple of reasons for that some personal but yeah
32:15.560 –> 32:26.840
I’m not totally sure what that was about what is about I’ll find out I have some idea I
32:26.840 –> 32:35.960
mean the idea of this is to try and expand this into no I need to be shorter episodes
32:35.960 –> 32:45.360
really seriously expand this into a sort of a bigger thing where I travel around and do
32:45.360 –> 32:54.440
stuff you know and and so it’s not just trying to sell the works it’s sort of a bit like
32:54.440 –> 33:02.760
an artistic travel guide that’s the idea I’m not sure it’s working as well as I’d like
33:02.760 –> 33:14.240
certainly I need to refresh my old research but I will be back to Abbotsbury but she won’t
33:14.240 –> 33:21.560
move hopefully that way if not then it will cut the holiday short I can’t imagine there’s
33:21.560 –> 33:31.960
nowhere I can stay tomorrow night but we’ll see and yeah and also I want to go back to
33:31.960 –> 33:41.320
St Gabriel’s Chapel the ruin chapel preferably not over Golden Cap I think I found ways from
33:41.320 –> 33:47.840
in land that are not so scary well it’s not as scary it’s just I just don’t really want
33:47.840 –> 33:57.480
to walk over Golden Cap again you know done that it’s one of these things you do and you
33:57.480 –> 34:04.840
go I’ve done that okay that’s good take my don’t think I’ll do that again which in a
34:04.840 –> 34:12.400
way it’s a bit sad but it’s kind of is that kind of walk where it’s like yeah I’d rather
34:12.400 –> 34:18.600
not do this again but it’s not so horrible like it’s oh my god but it’s like just a bit
34:18.600 –> 34:30.000
too a bit too exhausting to do and there’s not really there’s some some interesting stuff
34:30.000 –> 34:34.480
up there but it’s not apart from the chapel which is on the inside anyway there’s not
34:34.480 –> 34:42.720
really much up there but you can totally see why they call it Golden Cap because today when
34:42.720 –> 34:48.720
the sun shines on it you actually see a sort of an orange G yellow the earth at the top
34:48.720 –> 34:54.760
is an orange yellow I’m sure the geologists will tell you why but yeah that’s why I assume
34:54.760 –> 35:01.120
but that’s the obvious answer that it’s got a golden cap there’s got this sort of yellowish
35:01.120 –> 35:07.320
just sort of orangeish top to it so anyway I’ll shut up this isn’t me another long podcast
35:07.320 –> 35:13.600
sorry I’m not apologising for that I’m trying to make them shorter or more frequent on the
35:13.600 –> 35:19.680
two but this one got delayed because of the I hadn’t taken pictures of the work from last
35:19.680 –> 35:25.320
night and I hadn’t taken pictures of the work from the bus which was going to be the episode
35:25.320 –> 35:32.200
artwork but then I decided to do the the image of the dinghy on Seatown Beach which by the
35:32.200 –> 35:41.800
way it says it looks like it says eight is it nine eight nine eight hmm hmm it’s actually
35:41.800 –> 35:48.600
looks like Downs, it’s WH Weymouth and then the same round so it’s a palindrome in that
35:48.600 –> 35:53.800
bit but but yes I’m fascinated by that by that dinghy there are a couple of dinghies
35:53.800 –> 35:56.960
on the beach like that so anyway I’ll speak to you soon
