TIM BAKER

00:00.000 –> 00:25.600
Just packing up the tent at Home Farm. It’s, of course, it’s been deep. It’s got so
00:25.600 –> 00:30.56
horrible bleak grey misty all day. And of course, I mean, I kind of knew this
00:30.560 –> 00:33.840
was happening. Well, I suspect it happened because the weather report said
00:33.840 –> 00:39.960
something, but you can’t believe the weather reports around here at all. Like
00:39.960 –> 00:43.480
it’s been saying, it’s not raining. It’s been chucking it down in the morning here
00:43.480 –> 00:50.720
and also Golden Cap. So the weather reports are variable at best. But, but
00:50.720 –> 00:58.080
yes, the, it’s been, I was wondering whether to stay on another day. But, and
00:58.080 –> 01:05.120
actually I stayed a day longer than I wanted to, which was today. Because, well,
01:05.120 –> 01:09.600
which is like yesterday. I was like, I’m gonna check out Robert’s Brubos. I could
01:09.600 –> 01:17.360
have stayed on tonight as well. One problem, when it’s raining, and it’s also
01:17.360 –> 01:22.720
when you’ve got annoying children in the background. When it’s raining, you’ve
01:22.720 –> 01:29.120
got nowhere to go in a place like this. There is, apart from hiding in the
01:29.120 –> 01:35.480
toilets, you know, when there’s the local pub, you know, it’s only open until
01:35.480 –> 01:40.880
12 to late or 12 to, I think it’s 12, 12 to wait. Sundays, I think it’s 12,
01:40.880 –> 01:47.840
it was 10, I think, last night. And I went for, I’m glad I had organised a
01:47.840 –> 01:52.920
pub meal, because after a day of hiding in coffee shops and getting drenched in,
01:52.920 –> 01:56.880
then doing some work, I think it drenched again. And that weirdness at the
01:56.880 –> 02:02.480
chapel and all that sort of stuff. I was just glad to not have to try and cook in
02:02.480 –> 02:09.440
a rainstorm. Or it wasn’t, it’s not really a rainstorm. If it was a rainstorm, it
02:09.440 –> 02:15.920
would be sort of over and then, then it could change. No, it’s this constant sort
02:15.920 –> 02:21.400
of drizzly, ugh. And that’s kind of really got to me the last couple of days,
02:21.400 –> 02:26.440
because, you know, when it’s misty, I can’t go and work, because you can’t
02:26.440 –> 02:31.960
see anything. And when it’s chucking it down, I can’t work easily. And so I’ve
02:31.960 –> 02:36.680
got somewhere to shelter, and of course, what you don’t have in a tent. Unless you
02:36.680 –> 02:39.320
go into the headland and pitch that tent, which is one way of doing it, though
02:39.320 –> 02:44.000
obviously then you’re, then you’re wild camping, and you’ve got security issues
02:44.000 –> 02:48.360
and issues around your tent being blown away, because exactly the very nice
02:48.360 –> 02:53.080
wonderful scenes that you see are exactly the places where you would not camp,
02:53.080 –> 02:59.720
because you just get your tent all blown away. So yeah, it’s a difficult one.
02:59.720 –> 03:04.920
You know, I mean the ideal would be to do that. But the thing is, I have so much
03:04.920 –> 03:09.920
stuff to carry, even though I’ve been trying to narrow it down even just today,
03:09.920 –> 03:14.840
like, oh, eat this, eat this, don’t have to carry this, eat this. I find that the
03:14.840 –> 03:23.720
base camp idea is better, and that you go, you go to a place, and then, and then
03:23.720 –> 03:27.680
you walk, you do your day walks from there, because I have done some of that,
03:27.680 –> 03:32.120
sort of, walk with something, but after about three, you know, two or three miles
03:32.120 –> 03:38.880
with all your shit with you, is hard-going. You know, and I know you can
03:38.880 –> 03:43.080
juice it down, but there is a point of where you’re like, well, you’ve got no
03:43.080 –> 03:48.560
coffee at all, you know, oh, you’ve, you can, you know, you can not have a stove,
03:48.560 –> 03:56.360
and then just have, you know, cold food. But if you’re getting that off limits, the
03:56.360 –> 04:02.480
problem with me is that I can’t do the bread, because the bread in these places
04:02.480 –> 04:11.000
is not gluten-free, so it’s kind of, it’s a real limit, you have to stay at a
04:11.000 –> 04:14.760
certain amount within, either, well, you don’t have to take a shitload of bread,
04:14.760 –> 04:19.080
which is more weight, or then, and the shitload of water, because you’re going
04:19.080 –> 04:25.480
off grid, or you stay near a civilization, where you can actually get these
04:25.480 –> 04:31.200
things. And it’s a difficult one, especially as I move away from the
04:31.200 –> 04:38.080
more touristy areas, and, you know, when the idea was to go all around the coast at
04:38.080 –> 04:47.680
one point. The difficulty with that is that it’s a good idea, but how do you
04:47.680 –> 04:52.200
navigate those things, you know, do you, because, you know, for instance, if you’re
04:52.200 –> 04:58.560
going for a long trip, to not eat a hot meal, for, you know, it’s fine when it’s
04:58.560 –> 05:05.440
lovely and warm and hot, you’re like, oh, great picnics, when you actually are cold
05:05.440 –> 05:10.920
and wet, and it’s just horrible, you want, and, you know, you know, and it’s the same
05:10.920 –> 05:15.120
with the showers, because, who needs hot showers, oh, just rough it, you know, if
05:15.120 –> 05:19.280
your muscles are really aching, and you’re happy, my legs get very unhappy,
05:19.280 –> 05:26.200
I have problems with one of my knees and my feet. A hot shower is the way you
05:26.200 –> 05:30.360
stop that kicking off full-time, otherwise it literally cannot walk, and so
05:30.360 –> 05:35.960
that’s the point of where it’s kind of, it becomes a sort of false economy of
05:35.960 –> 05:43.360
trying to, trying to pare things down to nothing, because I could, and I used to,
05:43.360 –> 05:49.200
you know, carry not less stuff, I mean, I’ve carried wood stoves, and then used the
05:49.200 –> 05:52.640
fuels, I’d go along, and that didn’t work, because obviously, again, you need the
05:52.640 –> 05:57.680
fuel to be dry, and also, you just end up living life collecting twigs, and
05:57.680 –> 06:01.640
they’re gone in like two seconds, it’s very hard to, and all you’re carrying
06:01.640 –> 06:05.440
the fuel, which is even heavier than a gas stove, as much as I hate gas stoves, and
06:05.440 –> 06:08.120
the gas stove was doing weird things earlier, I think it got wet in the night,
06:08.120 –> 06:11.600
and it was like, it was doing this weird flaming thing, and I was like, ah, no, it
06:11.600 –> 06:15.760
doesn’t stop working, and then it sort of, switched the canister, and it
06:15.760 –> 06:20.520
confirmed it was the burney stovey bit, and then when I put it back, it was
06:20.520 –> 06:26.320
behaving better than, and I was like, eh, but it was weird, I was standing in the side of the tent going,
06:26.320 –> 06:31.680
long way away, going, ah, it’s boiling, I don’t know, but yeah, I think the point is,
06:31.680 –> 06:39.800
I made this to a friend of mine, Huxbear, I don’t know if he’s listening, that I do
06:39.800 –> 06:46.120
this, not, I’ve had a lot of guys sort of admire the tent, and admire, you know, I
06:46.120 –> 06:51.600
sell the panel, and admire the, sort of, off, and they’re expecting me to be
06:51.600 –> 06:58.880
walking from side to side and stuff like that, and there’s a bunch of them I find out, I bust them, and then sort of do day walks, but the
06:58.880 –> 07:06.080
thing is, is that, I don’t do this because I think it’s cute or fun, I don’t do this
07:06.080 –> 07:12.200
for Instagram value, I do this because I’m fucking poor, camping is not
07:12.200 –> 07:18.440
something I enjoy, I hate camping, I really, really do not like camping,
07:18.440 –> 07:29.160
especially when it’s like, well, it’s now sunny, and typically, you know, typically
07:29.160 –> 07:35.320
when, you know, when I’m about to go, of course it’s, of course it’s sunny, but it’s
07:35.320 –> 07:41.040
lovely and sunny, it’s well, the tub that’s drying the tent a bit, but the, you
07:41.040 –> 07:47.760
know, the idea that, oh yeah, yeah, you know, oh it’s such a lovely, lovely idea,
07:47.760 –> 07:58.000
and oh it’s, it’s, it’s a, it’s a, you know, oh it’s so lovely, it’s not, it’s shit, I only do it
07:58.000 –> 08:05.440
because, you know, I couldn’t afford a, you know, you can’t get a B&B for a
08:05.440 –> 08:11.120
certain quid a night, you can’t get a youth hostel for a certain quid a night in
08:11.120 –> 08:19.000
most places, so, you know, even a shared bed is like, it’s 20, 30 plus, I think, not a
08:19.000 –> 08:22.880
shared bed, a shared room, a shared bed, yeah, not even a shared, you know, but a
08:22.880 –> 08:27.080
single room is 80 plus or was, probably more now, but if you, if you want to do
08:27.080 –> 08:33.800
it, do it in the dorms, it’s like, I think it’s 30, depends where it is, some places
08:33.800 –> 08:37.200
are cheap, some places are not, but also then you’re sharing with some really weird
08:37.200 –> 08:47.160
people, as I found, yeah, as I found off in Scotland, so, yeah, having to listen to
08:47.160 –> 08:53.880
people’s tall tales at the, at the, at the dinner table without going, bullshit,
08:53.880 –> 08:59.040
there was a guy bragging constantly on that, on that Scotland trip, who I kept
08:59.040 –> 09:06.240
bumping into, he was a white twat, right, and, yeah, so, I don’t do this because I
09:06.240 –> 09:11.160
love, have any particular love for Cambay, I don’t like creepy crawlies, I don’t
09:11.160 –> 09:15.040
like, I don’t like when I’m all wet, and everything is wet, and you go, I stayed to
09:15.040 –> 09:22.440
the pub till about, from 9 30 last night, because, or maybe 10, I think 9 30 is 10,
09:22.440 –> 09:30.240
because I just didn’t want to come back to a, sort of, cold, wet tent, and look at
09:30.240 –> 09:36.200
the inside, it’s been fairly dry, but the problem is, as soon as you tighten it up
09:36.200 –> 09:41.040
to the point of where the sides won’t touch the things, you can’t then, you
09:41.040 –> 09:48.520
can’t then close the zips, probably, see little opesties in, it’s kind of, oops,
09:48.520 –> 09:55.840
it’s kind of a problem with the design, and of course, I’ve seen YouTube videos
09:55.840 –> 10:03.480
on how to put this tent up, the 3FUL, UL gear, the Chinese company, and it’s,
10:03.480 –> 10:09.600
it’s not a bad tent, it’s just the problem is, is that it is, you have to work it out
10:09.600 –> 10:15.600
yourself, you know, there are quirks to it, which you know, part of the reason why
10:15.600 –> 10:23.840
I got kind of a bit, it was flapping like a fucker in the, in the first place, in
10:23.840 –> 10:28.680
in Eweleaze, was I put it up really quickly, and I put it wrongly, and having, not
10:28.680 –> 10:33.440
having a garden, like some people, I can’t practice it, I did practice it in the
10:33.440 –> 10:37.840
park actually, when I first got it, I went in October, I went and practiced in the
10:37.840 –> 10:42.440
park, and felt like a fool putting a tent in the park, but you know, but you know,
10:42.440 –> 10:46.200
so I did practice it, but it’s, yeah, it’s easy if you’ve got like a garden or
10:46.200 –> 10:51.120
somewhere to practice putting it up, I put it up quite, I mean, October trips
10:51.120 –> 10:55.280
now, I’m getting quite good at how to tweak it, I mean, if you’ve got one of
10:55.280 –> 11:03.520
these 3FUL, or one FUL, or one of the UL gear tents, my general tip is, don’t put
11:03.520 –> 11:08.280
in the initial pegs to keep it down, if you can, of course, when I first put up
11:08.280 –> 11:13.400
it with a bloody gale, so that’s why I tightened it too tight, you keep it all
11:13.400 –> 11:18.720
loosely pegged in, then you do the guys, then you do the pole at the height
11:18.720 –> 11:24.320
that’s supposed to be, or close to, it says 125 cm for the trekking pole, then
11:24.320 –> 11:34.680
you, then you tighten everything, but that’s a luxury, if you have, what time is it?
11:34.680 –> 11:39.440
Oh my god, I need to get out of here, because that’s supposed to be out by 12, 10
11:39.440 –> 11:44.880
minutes to go, but the tent is down, it’s drying, come and scream at me, I’ll be like,
11:44.880 –> 11:51.720
well, I’m almost out of here, but yes, and then you tighten everything, but of
11:51.720 –> 11:57.080
course, if you are putting it up in a fucking gale as I was, at Eweleaze, on the
11:57.080 –> 12:01.520
headland, I didn’t do that, so of course everything was vibrating, and not in a
12:01.520 –> 12:09.200
good way, but you know, it was too, I put it up too tight with the bottom on the
12:09.200 –> 12:16.800
sort of pegs, the peg, the fly seat, and the inner tent down, and then I,
12:16.800 –> 12:22.680
yeah, then all the, it just wasn’t tensioned right, so you do have to kind of
12:22.680 –> 12:26.800
like fiddle with it to get it right, and keep fiddling with it, especially to
12:26.800 –> 12:29.640
try and get a shape that doesn’t pull worse with the back, because that’s the
12:29.640 –> 12:33.080
problem, if you got it wrong, if you’re going to get high enough,
12:33.080 –> 12:37.360
pull the water back, if you get too high, I’m going to say it sort of pulls the,
12:37.360 –> 12:45.000
it’s something weird with the way it works, is it sort of pulls the inner
12:45.000 –> 12:48.960
tent up a bit too high, so the corners pull up, which is not a massive problem,
12:48.960 –> 12:56.160
but then you have trouble closing the inner tent, so anyway, I’ve
12:56.160 –> 13:04.800
got to pack up now, and I said I’m heading to Lyme Regis, Cannington, it’s
13:06.800 –> 13:11.880
right by one of the Bluebell Viaducts, so it’s all getting very Sightseers, I’m
13:11.880 –> 13:17.920
ending up by viaducts, I’ve probably something to jump off here, anyway, I’ve not killed anyone,
13:17.920 –> 13:24.480
almost, yeah, I’ve gone close, yeah, because I made a comment for this, it’s like Sightseers or that,
13:24.480 –> 13:29.280
this is like Sightseers without a murdering, that’s optional, but I haven’t
13:29.280 –> 13:34.520
met anyone else, and yeah, I haven’t gone around the page, but the, yeah, it looks
13:34.520 –> 13:38.160
really nice, and it’s, they’ve got availability even over the bank holiday
13:38.160 –> 13:44.520
weekend, so I might stay there for a bit, I might not, but the boss is at one, so I
13:44.520 –> 13:48.400
better rush, I’ve got everything packed up, the main thing was getting the
13:48.400 –> 13:54.960
rucksack packed up, the rest of it is kind of like, you know, I was gonna say
13:54.960 –> 13:59.240
well, you know, allowing the tent to dry, the tents rolled up, they can come and go
13:59.240 –> 14:08.120
I’ll be like, well, you know, he’s a bag, bastard, bastard wasps is trying to piss
14:08.120 –> 14:19.920
around, do you know what I said, do you know what it’s stomped on, bloody wasps, I know they do a good job, because there’s wasps
14:19.920 –> 14:27.680
near the bus stop at Golden – Preston, not Preston, somewhere else,
14:27.680 –> 14:33.440
I’ve seen a losing track of places, Chideock, on the batteries, and I know why
14:33.440 –> 14:37.120
they were, because they were just eating aphids, they ate aphid eggs, it’s not the
14:37.120 –> 14:41.080
only thing that wasps do, it’s any good. Anyway, I’ll speak to you soon, hopefully
14:41.080 –> 14:47.120
from a new location, and hopefully this weather will continue, apparently it’s
14:47.120 –> 14:52.320
going to get drier, I hope so, because as I say the last couple days I’ve been
14:52.320 –> 14:57.160
ugh, you know, and I mean sort of to the level of thinking just abandoning the
14:57.160 –> 15:01.760
trip, ugh, I mean that’s how, because if it’s just chucking it down wet, I spend
15:01.760 –> 15:06.680
my life just sitting in cafes trying to charge things up, it’s just like, what
15:06.680 –> 15:10.080
is the point of being on this trip? Anyway, I’ll speak to you soon.
15:20.080 –> 15:29.040
I’m in Lyme Regis, the town that Time Forgot. Yes, plenty of fossils and that’s
15:29.040 –> 15:36.160
just the people here, the shops and I got in sort of to staff before six, and I
15:36.160 –> 15:40.520
would say the majority of the place was closed down, because it’s all open till
15:40.520 –> 15:44.800
four or five, if I say, including lunchtime closing, I couldn’t say closing
15:44.800 –> 15:52.760
earlier if you don’t do your lunchtime, but yeah, I bet they do early day
15:52.760 –> 16:02.640
closing as well, but yeah it’s nice to be here, to be here nice. The campsite is
16:02.640 –> 16:08.920
lovely, it’s near up Lyme, and it is right next to the Cannington viaduct,
16:08.920 –> 16:14.680
which I didn’t realize, I thought it was still functional, but they, the Lyme
16:14.680 –> 16:19.240
Regis line has been closed down, and it’s, it’s all private, you can’t even walk
16:19.240 –> 16:23.400
along it, it’s all private property. I’m surprised I haven’t tried to reopen it as
16:23.400 –> 16:27.720
a tourist attraction, a steam line or something, or extension of the Bluebell
16:27.720 –> 16:32.800
line or something, I think that’s somewhere else, that’s Hampshire isn’t it, but yeah,
16:32.800 –> 16:43.080
East Wing, Bluebell line, East Wing, but yeah, it is, yeah, it’s been a weird day
16:43.080 –> 16:48.000
because I’ve seen to spend the whole day putting things in bags, and then I’m
16:48.000 –> 16:53.040
packing them from bags, putting up tents twice, and the whole holiday in fact
16:53.040 –> 16:56.720
actually, just putting things into bags I think, especially just to avoid
16:56.720 –> 17:03.280
pesties, to avoid ants and slugs and things, but also walking here, even I
17:03.280 –> 17:08.400
can see it even now, you’ve got this really weird thing where down at low,
17:08.400 –> 17:12.480
it’s sunshine down at the lower level, and then there’s cloud and mist on the hills,
17:12.480 –> 17:17.680
and that’s what it’s been like. I’ve got photographs of like, sunshine fields, and
17:17.680 –> 17:23.280
suddenly you’ve got this rolling mist, and you seem to roll in and roll out, and it’s
17:23.280 –> 17:33.280
very spooky, but luckily I’ve got some more munchies because the the new place
17:33.280 –> 17:42.400
which is really nice is, has got access to electricity, yes, I can charge my
17:42.400 –> 17:51.520
batteries, yay, literally, figuratively and literally, and also I have access to a
17:51.520 –> 17:58.400
fridge, so I couldn’t keep things cold, so that will help, so I bought some, well
17:58.400 –> 18:03.080
actually found a place here, I’ve got a Tesco, no M&S, I thought Lyme Regis was
18:03.080 –> 18:10.080
posh, but no M&S, if they don’t seem to do M&S down in the food halls, down this
18:10.080 –> 18:15.760
part of the world, they were doing waymeth, but no further, I’m sure they didn’t tell.
18:15.760 –> 18:22.520
No Waitrose eye though, not posh as big pot, but they’ve got Tesco Express and a
18:22.520 –> 18:29.080
Co-op, interestingly no spa, I thought that was the law around here, that every place
18:29.080 –> 18:36.040
has to, every single little town, village, everything has to have a spa, it
18:36.040 –> 18:42.920
seemed to be, I thought there was a law, local law, so yes, but yeah we went to the
18:42.920 –> 18:47.840
Co-op, I’ve got some Co-op Prosecco little bottles, which I’m drinking at the
18:47.840 –> 18:53.640
moment, hehehe, it’s probably against some kind of blot by law, I also might have
18:53.640 –> 19:01.600
poloined some brown sugar, and I don’t mean that in a drug sensor, it’s not from
19:01.600 –> 19:07.480
them, from elsewhere, but I paid for a lot of groceries, making a phone a few
19:07.480 –> 19:15.280
times a day is about so good, seriously I just don’t want to have, I just don’t
19:15.280 –> 19:21.880
want to have to look around the whole bag of sugar, and I’m running out, but the
19:21.880 –> 19:27.720
coffee’s left as well, and so has the camp stove, it still is going, although it was
19:27.720 –> 19:32.680
doing as I say weird things earlier, I still can’t believe it’s still going,
19:32.680 –> 19:40.360
like, it’s not exactly the fortnight since I started this trip, but it’s
19:40.360 –> 19:45.600
not far off, it’s a few days off that, but yeah it’s a long time for
19:45.600 –> 19:49.840
something that, as I say, I’ve been hanging around for decades, and I thought this is not
19:49.840 –> 19:54.240
full, this is going to run out, I’m going to show you what this is, it’s an hour or two hours burn
19:54.240 –> 20:01.320
time, you’re saying, oh that won’t last, no it does, it does, that’s a full thingy anyway,
20:01.320 –> 20:08.400
so yes, so I’m going to see the do more touring tomorrow, I think probably come
20:08.400 –> 20:14.200
and see the good answer coast, and see the Ammonite Beach, which is off Monmouth Beach,
20:14.200 –> 20:19.720
I saw a sign, someone that you made a handmade sign saying, ignore Google
20:19.720 –> 20:23.840
suggestions, you can’t get to the Ammonite Beach from the southwest coast
20:23.840 –> 20:32.080
path, which is not a surprise, so apparently you access it to the beach, so
20:32.080 –> 20:37.760
I’ll do that, it better not be shingle, I bet it’s shingle, not the shelf itself,
20:37.760 –> 20:41.680
but yeah, so we’re going to have a look at that, maybe do some drawings, I don’t know,
20:41.680 –> 20:47.240
we’ll see how we feel, there’s certainly things from photographs of it, there’s
20:47.240 –> 20:54.960
a certain person I know who will love that, who urged me to go to the kit, hello Chris,
20:54.960 –> 21:01.080
Chris is his name, not the kit isn’t his name, but yeah, he urged me to go to the
21:01.080 –> 21:11.800
fossil forest near Lulworth, and so yes, he’s a fan of fossils, so I’m a fan of
21:11.800 –> 21:21.640
the fossils, but more of the old men’s sort, he’s a fan of the stone sort, so
21:21.640 –> 21:27.400
yes, I think it’s sottled on Prosecco, two sottles, I need to head back, I’m just
21:27.400 –> 21:36.620
resting my feet, but yeah, it’s certainly clearing up, and you can see
21:36.620 –> 21:41.160
sunshine, there’s been sunshine today, and it’s a much nicer day, and now I’m
21:41.160 –> 21:46.440
hoping, as they say tomorrow, the bank holiday is going to be good, I hope so,
21:46.440 –> 21:51.560
because as I say, the last couple of days have been shit, and it’s been
21:51.560 –> 21:57.480
depressing to be in a tent, where it’s just constant drizzle, drizzle for
21:57.480 –> 22:23.480
shizzle, but you know, yeah, I’m getting Swanage meets Weymouth vibes here, I have been here, I’m pretty sure I’ve been here, I’ve really, yeah, I have been here, if I go to the train station, which I will do at some point probably, because you know, it depends how further I go on my trip, I might go even further, but
22:23.480 –> 22:31.280
probably I’ll end up getting a single to Weymouth, and you know, or however it works
22:31.280 –> 22:36.040
out, getting a not a notional single to Weymouth, and they’re not going that way,
22:36.040 –> 22:42.680
but covering me for that part of the trip, and then using the return for the rest,
22:42.680 –> 22:51.360
because this is outside of my, this is outside of my network real card thing,
22:51.360 –> 22:57.520
so it stops at Weymouth, so that’s partly why I chose the Jurassic Coast, was that
22:57.520 –> 23:03.000
I could get a third off fail down to here, but actually it’s no reason why you
23:03.000 –> 23:07.480
can’t go do that to Weymouth, and then get you know, normal price ticket for the
23:07.480 –> 23:17.240
rest, you know, but you know, trains add up, but yeah, so I do remember coming, though
23:17.240 –> 23:22.920
it looks different, so maybe I’ll just imagine something else, but I’m pretty sure
23:25.160 –> 23:31.880
I’ll have to go and have a look at that part, I remember more of an esplanade, so
23:31.880 –> 23:37.240
maybe it was a different part of this place, or it was just my imagining
23:37.240 –> 23:47.220
something, but anyway it’s lovely, I better sign off, and I’ll speak
23:47.220 –> 23:54.240
to you soon. Just realized I was confusing this place with Bogna Regis, so
23:54.240 –> 23:59.160
no, I don’t think I’ve ever been to the Lyme Regis, this is completely off the
23:59.160 –> 24:05.360
charts, this is new stuff for me, because yeah, I don’t recognize any of it, so I
24:05.360 –> 24:10.120
don’t think I’ve ever been, I’ve never been this far, it’d be Viaducts, it’d be
24:10.120 –> 24:16.200
Dragons, so anyway, yeah, because yeah, of course the railway closed, because the
24:16.200 –> 24:20.920
Viaduct is where the railway came in, and it’s not working, you’ve got to shut down,
24:20.920 –> 24:27.560
I don’t know when, so I won’t be taking the train from here, they’ll probably be
24:27.560 –> 24:32.600
from Dorchester, or I don’t know if it’s the train goes to Axminster, one of those,
24:32.600 –> 24:40.720
or Yeovil or the train goes there, so yeah, we want those places, I will have to take a
24:40.720 –> 24:45.760
bus to, oh, maybe I’ll take the bus all the way back to Weymouth, I might do that,
24:45.760 –> 24:54.360
I mean it depends how far east I go really, the sky is a limit, oh it’s
24:54.360 –> 25:16.640
rather misty then I am, haha.

00:00.000 –> 00:08.120
The third dreich, yes, it’s only going so well this morning because it’s like dreich
00:08.120 –> 00:16.24
tent and you know sort of I could see my little solar thing ticking and I was like
00:16.240 –> 00:20.480
oh excellent and then about eight nine o’clock eight o’clock I’d sort of lie in
00:20.480 –> 00:25.920
because I got really back a little late last night which is a mistake because
00:25.920 –> 00:29.280
I’m now leaving the campsite at midday because I you know I think I would have
00:29.280 –> 00:34.960
had an earlier day if I’d got breakfast earlier and fall the deluge then big
00:34.960 –> 00:41.400
deluge and it just all came down so this idea of I mean I know it’s a classic
00:41.400 –> 00:48.800
thing saying as soon as they forecast their lovely August bank holiday it’s
00:48.800 –> 00:54.560
going to be raining and shit but I’m getting to the point where it’s the
00:54.560 –> 01:01.240
third day of this I think it’s the third day yeah because it started on Monday so
01:01.240 –> 01:09.400
this is the third day of all this shit coming up their day and you know at
01:09.400 –> 01:17.200
this point you know Tuesday was misted out they moved here they cleared when
01:17.200 –> 01:24.880
they got here so excellent and it’s doing it again and Monday night was
01:24.880 –> 01:33.200
affected and it’s just at this point if it goes into a third day tomorrow then
01:33.200 –> 01:37.520
I’m going home because I’m you know there’s a limit to what I can do on a
01:37.520 –> 01:41.760
day like this you know I’m not I’m not good at doing miss scenes at the best
01:41.760 –> 01:49.480
of times but anyway also it doesn’t help is in the campsite oh I hope that I do
01:49.480 –> 01:55.120
hope they’re leaving I do have they’re actually leaving now in the campsite
01:55.120 –> 02:01.560
they are you know what I was trying to draw the viaduct and when I arrived
02:01.560 –> 02:06.360
there was this they were making a lot of noise and I thought people were I assumed
02:06.360 –> 02:13.640
people were bungee jumping off the viaduct that’s how it’s noise
02:13.640 –> 02:20.520
constant fucking noise I can’t believe this I’ve been on the campsite hearing
02:20.520 –> 02:25.840
their noise and now they’re all fucking off it’s just like for the day
02:25.840 –> 02:33.480
great they’ve sort of driven me from the campsite so yeah they went to
02:33.480 –> 02:38.520
midnight last night yeah I know it’s sounding very Nuts in May they went to
02:38.520 –> 02:42.840
midnight last night of noise all the way to the day they’re playing some kind of
02:42.840 –> 02:50.920
croquet and but and they’re all kicker you know I’m not you know I think it’s
02:50.920 –> 02:56.320
some kind of group party or some kind of celebration or something they’re
02:56.320 –> 02:59.040
actually quite rude to the people the people on the campsite they won’t say
02:59.040 –> 03:06.280
hello and they tried to steal my food you know they I would happen to be there
03:06.280 –> 03:12.760
luckily when they were trying they were clearing off all their stuff from their
03:12.760 –> 03:19.360
party last night and obviously removing it or whatever to take home I should hope
03:19.360 –> 03:27.320
and and they went all that fridge and I went oh no no that’s mine that’s mine so
03:27.320 –> 03:30.880
they would have nicked my prosecco I’ve got a bottle of prosecco in there and my
03:30.880 –> 03:37.840
cheese and I have and my oat milk or could have you know and it’s just like
03:37.840 –> 03:42.400
but you know I said more than mornings they didn’t come over and say hi they’ve
03:42.400 –> 03:50.480
not said hi at all there’s one word to them I think one I went to the showers
03:50.480 –> 03:55.560
last night and it was like you know were you were you going to because it saw me
03:55.560 –> 04:01.240
of that what I had my washing my dishwashing with me and I said oh the
04:01.240 –> 04:06.120
shower and then you know it’s a morning and then you say anything and it’s just
04:06.120 –> 04:11.720
like if you’re gonna be annoying on the campsite just be fucking polite to
04:11.720 –> 04:18.120
everyone else because you know it’s just the least you can do is at least be
04:18.120 –> 04:22.640
polite to what the people on campsite because you’re being a nuisance
04:22.640 –> 04:29.040
you know you’re going to celebrate your noise it’s like your neighbours at home so
04:29.040 –> 04:33.600
yeah I’m just hoping off because it’s just I’ve told they were going today I
04:33.600 –> 04:39.800
do hope they are because all most of them are going because it’s yeah it’s been
04:39.800 –> 04:44.160
constant noise and so I’ve got there I mean not massively I’m up on the hill
04:44.160 –> 04:48.360
away from them but yeah they’ve got this weird dice game which you go click
04:48.360 –> 04:53.520
click click click click and so while I was and then they go some kind of game
04:53.520 –> 04:57.480
they’re playing underneath their shelter so while I was sitting by my tent
04:57.480 –> 05:05.120
drawing the viaduct trying not to get wet trying to get attacked by spiders
05:05.120 –> 05:13.240
yeah that’s a long story yeah they were doing that and it was just like you went
05:13.240 –> 05:16.200
till 12 last night now you’re making noise in the day and you’re making
05:16.200 –> 05:20.640
noise yesterday and you’re not being friendly and you almost stole my
05:20.640 –> 05:28.080
food so do fuck off yeah I’m not usually that friendly to people who are yeah we
05:28.080 –> 05:34.720
had a party tent at a golden cap who I didn’t have music but went to about one
05:34.720 –> 05:37.840
or two in the morning that was a bit annoying exhausting at least only went
05:37.840 –> 05:45.200
till 12 but they do act like they’re in the campsite so otherwise the campsite is
05:45.200 –> 05:50.200
great it’s really brilliant coming to this so I really do recommend it as long
05:50.200 –> 05:54.720
as you don’t get this these people which you probably won’t so it’s the campers
05:54.720 –> 06:00.000
not nothing to do with the campsites or the campsites really lovely and it’s the
06:00.000 –> 06:04.840
one thing if the weather drives me home it’s the one thing I’d be really fucked
06:04.840 –> 06:12.560
off about will be you know the fact that you know I’ve got this amazing viaduct
06:12.560 –> 06:16.480
here that I want to draw and I have drawn but not very well because it was
06:16.480 –> 06:28.080
raining I was sheltering literally drawing it from my tent you know so I do
06:28.080 –> 06:34.400
want to draw this properly I can not sure how properly I can do it in the
06:34.400 –> 06:47.760
middle of a camp field you know and you know you know and also you know I’m
06:47.760 –> 06:51.600
really excited about lime reduce and the environment I’m gonna go walking today
06:51.600 –> 06:56.240
for a rather belatedly late partly because I’ve been kept awake by
06:56.240 –> 07:06.520
certain people but partly because of the weather so yeah even in paradise there’s
07:06.520 –> 07:11.480
always there’s always pants gets back to the other thing as friend of mine page
07:11.480 –> 07:16.880
she would love this site because it’s incredibly diverse and as an ecological
07:16.880 –> 07:24.760
artist I should be as an ecological artist I should be so down with a beastie
07:24.760 –> 07:33.520
you know and pasties I’m not because really don’t I won’t go trying to kill
07:33.520 –> 07:37.920
spiders but you don’t like them and these is literally is a spider’s been
07:37.920 –> 07:41.640
trying to get into my tent or I don’t know what’s what the deal is with that
07:41.640 –> 07:49.520
spider it’s been trying to you know it’s crawled on me on my legs on my this is
07:49.520 –> 07:53.560
long-legged sort of grass-living spider I’ve seen them before but you know they’re
07:53.560 –> 08:02.480
quite rare you know and so you know and that sort of thing it is crazy you know
08:02.480 –> 08:06.920
so he’s just you know I’ve just been trying not to get black beetles in my
08:06.920 –> 08:15.880
tent and it seems like all of the possible insect life of Britain is
08:15.880 –> 08:20.880
represented in this campsite and wanting to get into my tent and as a page
08:20.880 –> 08:26.520
would love it because she’s into her bugs and creepy crawlies I do not I am not
08:26.520 –> 08:32.120
into these things especially spiders I’m quite phobic I’ve got better I’ve got
08:32.120 –> 08:39.080
less yeah I would just scream this campsite down if I had this big spider on
08:39.080 –> 08:44.680
my leg years ago so I’ve got better but still I’m not happy about them I’m not
08:44.680 –> 08:55.760
happy about the spiders being here I try to work out if I can sit here to draw
08:55.760 –> 09:01.280
the thing or whether I get bothered by the cows but whether I’ll get bothered
09:01.280 –> 09:06.520
by the farmer actually more likely having a go at me for daring to sit in this
09:06.520 –> 09:16.360
field but I’m near the footpath no crops to trample this might get bothered by
09:16.360 –> 09:26.320
the coos but yeah so it is a weird day again with all the mist and all the
09:26.320 –> 09:41.520
stuff let’s see what we can make of the day really see what we can do you know
09:41.520 –> 09:46.480
it’s it’s it’s you know it’s it’s kind of you know I expect one or two days like
09:46.480 –> 09:51.440
this I don’t expect them to be together and I don’t expect them to be kind of
09:51.440 –> 09:58.520
like continuous I seemingly going into a third day and you know the weather not
09:58.520 –> 10:02.400
clearing up at any point really sort of having moments like last night was nice
10:02.400 –> 10:06.320
and I did a I did a drawing and painting which I might include as the
10:06.320 –> 10:13.680
artwork of this all the obviaduct must I do something better I do hope so I did a
10:13.680 –> 10:22.200
sort of a graphite and watercolor drawing in the from the new sort of
10:22.200 –> 10:26.320
defenses because they’ve done this thing at the line radius where they’ve built
10:26.320 –> 10:36.800
these kind of undercliffed defenses which you can then undercliffed
10:36.800 –> 10:40.400
defenses so you can walk along them and then you can actually sit there and
10:40.400 –> 10:48.320
there was such amazing clouds and mist with sunshine yesterday I don’t do it
10:48.320 –> 10:51.720
today but it was a weird combination people I heard people commenting on it
10:51.720 –> 10:55.120
it’s like you’d have this level of mist and then you’d have below it you’d have
10:55.120 –> 10:59.520
the sunshine and it’s such a kind of weird combination like someone was putting
10:59.520 –> 11:04.160
loads of dry ice above and then and then there was this sort of layer of
11:04.160 –> 11:08.160
sunshine but it’s always an odd combination of lighting or combination
11:08.160 –> 11:13.800
and so I did a sort of a panorama of that I’m not really happy with it the
11:13.800 –> 11:18.000
drawing was terrible while she’s in the light of crayons and it was like oh well
11:18.000 –> 11:23.080
I’m they have their place they’re very good at sort of a bold things that
11:23.080 –> 11:28.080
subject me to something a bit more gentle and I already had most of them of a
11:28.080 –> 11:34.280
miniature bottle of prosecco at that point so I wasn’t really doing gentle so
11:34.280 –> 11:41.000
yes it was a bit of a bit of a mad one I do feel I need to get further away from
11:41.000 –> 11:51.760
this fire let’s draw it problem is where views of either that’s got a viewpoint
11:51.760 –> 11:58.440
that’s not there’s a laying in that way yeah I don’t know anyone have to check
11:58.440 –> 12:07.640
that so yeah I’d like to draw this viaduct here it will happen I might do it
12:07.640 –> 12:16.320
now properly with like ink and shit that’s the official term yeah I don’t
12:16.320 –> 12:24.160
want I don’t want I don’t want this to end never never going home but I don’t
12:24.160 –> 12:27.760
want this to end now it feels like before the holiday I’ve got a campsite that
12:27.760 –> 12:32.720
seems to be available through the bank holiday I’ve got you know though it’s
12:32.720 –> 12:36.160
not you know it’s not the cheapest 27 pounds it’s worth it because it’s got
12:36.160 –> 12:39.880
all the facilities and it’s got like fridge and electricity and you’re all
12:39.880 –> 12:44.760
the stuff that tends to get you charged the only thing is showers are 20p and
12:44.760 –> 12:50.480
it’s a meter and so I had the fun yesterday last night of putting an
12:50.480 –> 12:55.720
extra 20p with wet hands into electricity meter I don’t that’s something
12:55.720 –> 13:00.520
that I think other generation of younger generations probably never
13:00.520 –> 13:05.720
experienced I did take me back to we didn’t have a meter at home by new
13:05.720 –> 13:11.280
people didn’t it’s yeah it takes me back to Charles at all pre my times but
13:11.280 –> 13:14.840
people had one of those old-school you know twist meters we put a coin in the
13:14.840 –> 13:19.760
twist I hate those because yeah you are literally touching metal things with
13:19.760 –> 13:25.680
your wet hands while standing on a wet floor lovely and conductive but I now
13:25.680 –> 13:30.600
know that you should put 40p in not 20p you don’t know until you put the first
13:30.600 –> 13:35.160
bit how long the little thing is going to go for I could have showed in 420
13:35.160 –> 13:42.680
really 40 so yeah lesson learned on that one that’s a hopefully I’ve got two in
13:42.680 –> 13:45.480
at once I hope so
13:47.160 –> 13:53.120
there’s a cruise they’re making a lot of noise earlier than they wanted to be
13:53.120 –> 13:57.400
fed it was a bit like silence of the lambs but cows version of me something
13:57.400 –> 14:01.040
horrible is happening apparently just probably wanting to be wanting their
14:01.040 –> 14:05.720
munchies like that oh there’s our munchies
14:05.720 –> 14:15.120
chef in here chef around here’s terrible but so yeah good 14 minutes shut up
14:15.120 –> 14:24.560
Tim might just post this as is but yeah it’s it’s a difficult one because I
14:24.560 –> 14:30.360
say if it’s gonna be like this today and tomorrow I don’t see a point of sticking
14:30.360 –> 14:41.280
around but I don’t really want to go home it’s a difficult one really you know
14:41.280 –> 14:47.760
it’s one of these things where you know it’s
14:47.760 –> 14:56.000
gonna shout at me probably not I always use my artist card it’s always a good
14:56.000 –> 15:05.880
one oh my not just shows what it looks like there’s a desire to be here anyway
15:05.880 –> 15:21.800
yes I don’t know if that’s official it’s such a shame there are ways no more
15:21.800 –> 15:29.920
because that would be amazing to see I can imagine back in the day because
15:29.920 –> 15:33.040
no one ever talks about that the fact that when they did the beaching cuts and
15:33.040 –> 15:38.720
before most of the beaching cuts that the mean that they talk about the rural
15:38.720 –> 15:43.600
communities being affected by you know not having the local stops but also the
15:43.600 –> 15:49.720
psycho the vanky word geography of odd-psycho psychology of the fact that
15:49.720 –> 15:55.440
you the sound of the train the train goes by at a certain time would have
15:55.440 –> 15:58.960
basically kind of for a long time regulated people’s lives it’d be like
15:58.960 –> 16:06.480
oh it must be 12 o’clock the trains the trains the trains are going by you know
16:06.480 –> 16:12.960
oh it’s you know seven o’clock you know oh and it must have been annoying to
16:12.960 –> 16:24.360
begin with and a real sort of thing on people’s lives but then people just it
16:24.360 –> 16:34.040
becomes part of your life you know and it becomes a thing you enjoy doing enjoy
16:34.040 –> 16:38.880
you and you would enjoy doing you look forward part of your day always it’s a
16:38.880 –> 16:44.520
regular sort of break in your day like oh oh that’s the zone so that’s the mail
16:44.520 –> 16:59.520
train that’s that’s better angle over really you’d prefer not to have their
16:59.520 –> 17:16.800
horrible tents in the way that would be nice um yes
17:16.800 –> 17:29.840
so you know I think in the rural communities and it’s been a weird one
17:29.840 –> 17:40.040
sort of have this you know this constant presence for like 100 150 years just to
17:40.040 –> 17:46.640
suddenly stop you know I’ve played in the podcast the slow train but I find as
17:46.640 –> 17:51.360
one which lists all these things and all these places of this funny or strange
17:51.360 –> 17:58.360
names doctor to have no more but it’s funny has a song from the 60s that was
17:58.360 –> 18:06.000
just kind of haha it’s become very poignant as we lose all these places
18:06.000 –> 18:12.600
they become you know they’ve lost time but interestingly this part of this
18:12.600 –> 18:19.960
stretch according to someone here is still here you know that it’s still in
18:19.960 –> 18:25.240
practice from private ownership but it’s still
18:27.800 –> 18:34.600
yes the cows are looking at me it’s still there so you could walk along it
18:34.600 –> 18:44.640
if you’re allowed and also it’s still you know exists part of it so they could
18:44.640 –> 18:52.000
easily do a short sort of steam railway or something or a short walk or you know
18:52.000 –> 18:58.200
guide you know sort of railway walk or you know a light railway because that
18:58.200 –> 19:04.860
would help this area because actually the links to this area are not good in a
19:04.860 –> 19:08.280
sense of you got the buses going up towards that line and you I think you
19:08.280 –> 19:12.560
got the buses go seating which is three seven eight one the other lot thing
19:12.560 –> 19:17.560
this big gap of the area and really it’s roads there are you really have to walk
19:17.560 –> 19:26.000
around the walk I’m doing part of that walk now you do have to walk kind of
19:26.000 –> 19:30.960
around the houses you know away from where you want to go either sort of
19:30.960 –> 19:36.480
south or you know you have to kind of walk in a boomerang in a way because
19:36.480 –> 19:43.800
there isn’t any direct pass from here to Lyme Regis so it would make sense if
19:43.800 –> 19:49.320
this was turning them into a track or if it was actually a railway brought back
19:49.320 –> 19:54.280
into a short stretch of it I don’t know if anyone’s tried but it would make a lot
19:54.280 –> 19:58.720
of sense because it’s amazing by that you’ve got you know a bit of it some
19:58.720 –> 20:10.360
it survives and it would work you know for a sort of you know also as a sort of
20:10.360 –> 20:18.120
transport link getting closer the coals so yeah it would work so 20 minutes
20:18.120 –> 20:27.000
but shut up yeah we shall see tomorrow with whether I continue or whether I
20:27.520 –> 20:34.080
yeah because there’s a couple people staying in the cottages some of
20:34.080 –> 20:38.520
there permanently some holiday people and I’m speaking with her she said
20:38.520 –> 20:53.840
yeah we’re about the cows bothering you yeah it would be a shame to end it early
20:53.840 –> 21:01.600
but you know and that’s it improves I mean I can do it did draw here it’s not
21:01.600 –> 21:05.160
ready in the moment which is good but you know unless we only have something a
21:05.160 –> 21:10.440
bit better and I’m going to go and see the Ammonite pavement today and do the
21:10.440 –> 21:14.640
whole sort of Lyme Regis you think there’s an art shop there I might time is
21:14.640 –> 21:20.040
it 12 30 hopefully get there because I need some if I am staying I need some
21:20.040 –> 21:25.520
cerulean but that’s a question of whether I am staying or not these to see
21:25.520 –> 21:33.000
what they’ve got in the art shop there’s a few things I need yeah the cows are
21:33.000 –> 21:42.080
growing me up yeah I’ll speak to you soon

00:00.000 –> 00:15.000
Well I came to see in the Ammonite Pavement but I assume it’s actually underwater because
00:15.000 –> 00:22.400
it’s high tide or coming up to high tide, I can’t see anything so it looks like a lot
00:22.400 –> 00:39.600
of it, the beach is underwater so yeah, the Ammonite Beach which is to the east of Lime
00:39.600 –> 00:48.720
Regis, I have to say they have spent a lot of time and money obviously trying to change
00:48.720 –> 00:55.160
the image of Lyme Regis, although it’s quite funny you go into Lyme Regis itself and you
00:55.160 –> 01:02.120
see a warning sign about elderly people which is, you know, we’re elderly people crossing
01:02.120 –> 01:11.240
the road, yes, everywhere but there’s a lot of art and a lot of, especially if you check
01:11.240 –> 01:22.040
out the Longmore, Longford Gardens, Longmore Gardens and Lister Gardens as I was speaking
01:22.040 –> 01:32.000
to an artist who used to work with Ash, the band, who’s played at Glastonbury, Richard
01:32.000 –> 01:39.240
Kay and he’s got an exhibition here and I’m sure he was like, who’s the strange one talking
01:39.240 –> 01:45.040
to me but yeah, I was talking to him about artistic crises and kind of working through
01:45.040 –> 01:49.240
them and stuff, well that was his suggestion and it’s a good suggestion and I know this,
01:49.240 –> 01:59.720
you work through it and you work, you work through it all but yeah, doesn’t really help
01:59.720 –> 02:06.680
you when you’re in it though, yeah, there’s several pieces a day which are, the drawing
02:06.680 –> 02:15.200
was okay with the viaduct, the painting was terrible partly because, well, the people
02:15.200 –> 02:23.400
I mentioned in the last podcast, can you guess what they did when I was sitting there away
02:23.400 –> 02:29.600
from them because they drove me out of the campsite because they were just so irritating.
02:29.600 –> 02:34.360
So what happens, they come out, some of them come out and start googling and taking pictures
02:34.360 –> 02:44.520
in front of the viaduct and being really loud and noxious there and I’m just like, yeah,
02:44.520 –> 02:48.480
it goes from nuts of May level to sort of sightseers level, I’m somewhere in between
02:48.480 –> 02:53.120
at the moment with those people because it’s just like, not only be rude to people but also
02:53.120 –> 03:00.080
just kind of follow the people who have escaped from you and then go and bother them by being
03:00.080 –> 03:04.920
irritating there as well and they all drove off as I said in the podcast but not all of
03:04.920 –> 03:05.920
them obviously.
03:05.920 –> 03:14.800
You might know who they were, I think it was them, it’s just like, so yeah that and the
03:14.800 –> 03:19.360
mist because of course they’re just constant mist, they get coming and going and coming
03:19.360 –> 03:25.640
and going so it’s kind of difficult to paint when things, you know, your visibility is
03:25.640 –> 03:31.000
going from, oh I can see the viaduct, oh no I can’t, I can just see the viaduct, I can
03:31.000 –> 03:41.520
see a viaduct more now, you know, I did do a painting on the seafront of another one
03:41.520 –> 03:45.960
but without the railing this time because the last one I did at the undercliffy hangy
03:45.960 –> 03:54.280
thing and this one was not too bad, it still doesn’t do justice, the glow me on the headland,
03:54.280 –> 03:59.680
the light hitting the chalk of the headlands, you know, all around the golden cap and all
03:59.680 –> 04:08.720
the places I’ve been, it’s a good thing to depict, just difficult but as I was saying
04:08.720 –> 04:16.600
to you that Richard, well I don’t know him but you know the guy in the exhibition
04:16.600 –> 04:24.280
at the Malt House, I’m kind of, all I’m trying to do is I’m trying to be more abstract in
04:24.280 –> 04:32.640
my, you know, artworks, so I’m trying to join my abstracts and my landscapes together so
04:32.640 –> 04:38.000
yeah the hammering is that it’s probably people trying to find, probably people trying
04:38.000 –> 04:46.160
to find ammonites and things, probably trying to be Mary Anning, probably need, probably need
04:46.160 –> 04:58.640
a bit more hammers, remember she nearly got killed in a rock fall, so hey, the dog was
04:58.640 –> 05:04.960
killed in a rock fall, I was actually at her house stood today which is where the museum
05:04.960 –> 05:14.480
is, the one I mentioned, I didn’t realise that, but yes, so yeah, I’m trying to combine
05:14.480 –> 05:23.920
the two and it’s not really working for me, oh yeah I’ve got a hammer, if I had a hammer,
05:23.920 –> 05:29.320
I’d try and hammer some fossils, that’s not exactly how you find fossils though, what
05:29.320 –> 05:44.560
is that, probably is, that my dear, yes it’s probably an ammonite, anyway, that’ll be good,
05:44.560 –> 05:52.080
Tim finds world record fossil finds while recording a podcast, you know, I did my rocky
05:52.080 –> 06:02.320
thing years ago, because my dad was an amateur geologist, so I used to collect rocks and
06:02.320 –> 06:07.280
I used to, you know, that’s the reason why there’s pictures of me walking on the side
06:07.280 –> 06:12.760
of a 45 degree rock face, before I could walk climbing there, because the reason why I was
06:12.760 –> 06:31.280
there is because my dad was looking for rocks, as you do, so yeah, I guess I missed the ammonite
06:31.280 –> 06:35.360
pavement, I’ll have to come back, but that’s the question is whether tomorrow’s weather
06:35.360 –> 06:41.600
will bring, I mean it’s sort of brightened up later but it’s still got that gloom, it’s
06:41.600 –> 06:46.120
still got that sort of solar killing gloom, which I have to keep, you know, taking the
06:46.120 –> 06:55.240
batteries and charging them up on the beans, look at that, but yeah, I was also speaking
06:55.240 –> 07:02.600
to the woman who runs the, I bought some cerulean blue because I was out of blue, we’re not
07:02.600 –> 07:10.040
out of blue, out of cerulean, and I was speaking to her about various things like art prices
07:10.040 –> 07:17.480
and you know, the state of the, you know, festivals and things, and yeah, that was a
07:17.480 –> 07:24.520
good conversation, so it was not about art conversations, so I do get the feeling that
07:24.520 –> 07:29.120
Lyme Regis with, you know, the art in the parks and the art trails and the stuff about
07:29.120 –> 07:34.600
Mary Anning and the Mary Anning statue, the new one I saw, they did the kind of thing
07:34.600 –> 07:40.960
that I said that Weymouth should do, I said it obviously not on my podcast, because there’s
07:40.960 –> 07:47.880
a new podcast, but if you read the blog posts on my blog, TJBaker.co.uk and look up the
07:47.880 –> 07:58.720
Jaunt series there, you will see me saying how there’s such a missed opportunity in Weymouth
07:58.720 –> 08:04.400
for the, you know, arts, there’s lots of empty venues, it feels like a place that could be
08:04.400 –> 08:10.800
a real, you know, arts hub, there could be real sort of, you know, something interesting
08:10.800 –> 08:16.320
there, because they do have the space for the studios, they do have the disused buildings,
08:16.320 –> 08:21.840
they do have things, maybe they don’t have the scene, but here the local council seems
08:21.840 –> 08:26.520
to be really harboring that local artist thing, which is good, and that’s what I’m saying,
08:26.520 –> 08:32.680
because it’s a bit like Folkestone here, or Margate, there is an element to that, they’re,
08:32.680 –> 08:39.000
you know, they’ve got kind of a gallery, the Town Mill Malthouse, they’ve got, you know,
08:39.000 –> 08:43.680
these spaces, and there are art galleries everywhere, although I have to say, part of
08:43.680 –> 08:52.400
my crisis has been when I’ve actually looked at some of the artworks, not only what they’re
08:52.400 –> 08:56.840
selling it for, but that’s not the originals they’re print, so, you know, 1890, 1770 is
08:56.840 –> 09:02.640
not, you know, it’s not kind of like, oh my god, it’ll be originals I’ll be more bothered
09:02.640 –> 09:12.520
by, but it’s more the fact what they’re doing, it’s so not what I’m doing, and I know certain
09:12.520 –> 09:17.600
people would say to me, oh Tim, you’ve got to do, you know, you’ve got to do your own
09:17.600 –> 09:21.240
path, you’ve got to do your own thing, but what, you know, when you’re kind of doing
09:21.240 –> 09:26.320
this thing of, oh, I want to sell my work, I want to do these things, I want to, you
09:26.320 –> 09:31.560
know, document my travels, I want, you know, somehow get either donations or money, or,
09:31.560 –> 09:39.000
you know, people interested in my work, and the podcast is part of that, and unfortunately
09:39.000 –> 09:42.680
I had a wet wish on for too long on it, which is not going about ranty things, I’m going
09:42.680 –> 09:46.960
to do my artwork, which is not helpful, but it’s all part of the thing, it’s all part
09:46.960 –> 09:53.240
of the struggle, but, you know, when you look at people’s works, it’s really hyper realistic,
09:53.240 –> 09:59.200
or kind of like the other way, very to the childish, but not kind of interesting in a
09:59.200 –> 10:06.320
sort of, you know, like, what I saw when I saw the things, the posters for that work
10:06.320 –> 10:11.480
by Richard Kay, I was interested, oh, that’s, you know, abstraction, I’ve not seen that
10:11.480 –> 10:14.680
here, that’s something different, there’s something different going on here, so that’s
10:14.680 –> 10:18.400
why I went to have a look, but you look at the other galleries, the small commercial
10:18.400 –> 10:24.440
ones, or the ones done by people like Richard Austin, who is the famous photographer around
10:24.440 –> 10:31.320
here, whenever there’s a big wave crashing picture in the press, it’s quite often him,
10:31.320 –> 10:35.120
you know, and he sells a lot of calendars, and, you know, he’s got his own shop here,
10:35.120 –> 10:41.680
and it’s, you know, and good on him, he’s a good photographer, but it’s not me, and
10:41.680 –> 10:47.000
looking at the watercolours, they’re all not me, you know, and I know that’s because that’s
10:47.000 –> 10:51.800
what sells, and that’s what people think is, in quotes, art, but it doesn’t help me when
10:51.800 –> 11:01.320
I’m trying to forge a path between what I find interesting, what I can do, and what
11:01.320 –> 11:09.360
I want to do, and what my future is, which is what, you know, these kind of Jaunts are
11:09.360 –> 11:16.040
a bit metaphysical like that, it’s kind of trying to find some balance here, but when
11:16.040 –> 11:21.920
you look at what the market is, either I’m so amazingly originally different than everyone
11:21.920 –> 11:27.600
at my work, or I’m completely way off the path, I think I’m probably the latter, and
11:27.600 –> 11:31.440
a friend of mine said, the same friend who usually tells me not to pay attention to all
11:31.440 –> 11:37.440
the things, is, you know, that my work is, I’m an artist’s artist, and I think that’s
11:37.440 –> 11:43.160
why artists can see the value of my work, because they know what I’m trying to do, and
11:43.160 –> 11:51.080
they know the struggle between representation and abstraction, and that what I do is, especially
11:51.080 –> 12:03.480
with energy and time, and kind of passion, and kind of trying to do things wet and wet
12:03.480 –> 12:10.000
in the moment, it’s not easy, I think it’s kind of, it can go wrong and go very right
12:10.000 –> 12:18.800
quite a lot of time, and, you know, it’s weird balancing it, you know, ironically the stuff
12:18.800 –> 12:23.320
is very hyperalistic, using my photographs and someone’s there in the evenings going
12:23.320 –> 12:30.240
drawing, you know, dotting each and every dot, and, you know, sort of doing that kind
12:30.240 –> 12:37.320
of very representational thing, in a way that’s easier, because you just follow what’s, you
12:37.320 –> 12:45.200
know, what’s in front of you, you’re not making those kind of creative, chaotic decisions,
12:45.200 –> 12:49.320
you’re not having to deal with something going wrong in the moment, you’re just going, okay,
12:49.320 –> 12:54.760
this is just colour, we mix it exactly, match, match, match, you know, whereas I’m much more
12:54.760 –> 13:05.240
instinctive and much more kind of, I don’t know, I don’t know how to describe my work,
13:05.240 –> 13:12.000
it’s very much coming from an instant reaction, on plein air, so in the environment, with
13:12.000 –> 13:16.560
all that entails, whether it’s, you know, it starts to rain, and it’s got little dots
13:16.560 –> 13:23.720
in it, you know, or it’s, I’m getting nearly blown off a cliff, you know, not working from
13:23.720 –> 13:29.360
photographs, not, and very much a reaction between what’s in front of me at that moment,
13:29.360 –> 13:37.840
and my mood, and how I’m feeling, and, you know, a whole load of things in there, but
13:37.840 –> 13:43.280
I do feel that it doesn’t really sometimes come out of the work, or it does, a lot of
13:43.280 –> 13:47.600
people are not really getting it, so, it’s kind of weird, because people say, oh, you’re
13:47.600 –> 13:50.920
going to see my work, and it’s, you know, sometimes I’ll show it, I mean, there was
13:50.920 –> 13:56.280
a girl at the Anchor Inn who was, they were very impressed by my work, but it’s, I’m
13:56.280 –> 14:00.440
feeling embarrassed about it in this trip, because there’s a few people as I would go,
14:00.440 –> 14:04.120
okay, you know, I think this is good, or this could be better, but I think this is the best
14:04.120 –> 14:11.120
I can do in a situation, because of the brown grass and stuff like that, but there are bits
14:11.120 –> 14:17.960
which I like, oh dear, you know, and I felt that the first trip had a higher hit rate
14:17.960 –> 14:25.000
actually, there hasn’t been a sort of a Corfe Castle, or a Mupe Bay, there hasn’t been,
14:25.000 –> 14:31.920
you know, the lows of the Jaunt 2, where it just didn’t work at all, and that’s partly
14:31.920 –> 14:39.040
why I bought it, because after six days, I was cold, I was unhappy, and also the work
14:39.040 –> 14:47.880
just wasn’t worth suffering for, because, you know, it’s worth it, if the work’s good,
14:47.880 –> 14:56.400
you know, but, you know, I’m having to kind of rough it, that’s fine, but what the problem
14:56.400 –> 15:01.120
is, is that the work then wasn’t good, so we haven’t got the lows of that, I mean, some
15:01.120 –> 15:04.920
of the stuff of that, I posted a few, some of it, some of it I’ve never posted, because
15:04.920 –> 15:12.000
it was so, so bad, I was a slight embarrassed having my sketchbook, so there’s nothing
15:12.000 –> 15:18.040
like that, there’s a few bits, maybe, but nothing greatly, but there isn’t anything
15:18.040 –> 15:24.560
like, oh wow, so there’s the old one or two that might maybe be like, okay, this is pretty
15:24.560 –> 15:31.880
good, or this is good, you know, I might reconsider this to be actually quite good, but there’s
15:31.880 –> 15:39.880
no Mupe Bay or Corfe Castles in this, where I felt I was like, yeah, this is really on
15:39.880 –> 15:49.520
form for me, so I don’t know, I really don’t know, it’s a bit like, I mean, that’s the
15:49.520 –> 15:57.000
part of the reason for the thinking of going home, because although, yes, you’ve got to
15:57.000 –> 16:00.280
keep working out it, there is a point where you are just hitting yourself, you’re head
16:00.280 –> 16:06.560
against a brick wall, and that can be useful, but it also can be quite destructive, quite
16:06.560 –> 16:11.920
a lot of obvious reasons, you don’t want to give yourself brain damage, and the problem
16:11.920 –> 16:21.200
being that the weather doesn’t help, I mean, I can work within certain, you know, it doesn’t
16:21.200 –> 16:29.440
have to all be sunny, 16 sort of happy, happy, happy, you know, blue skies and green, but
16:29.440 –> 16:37.400
I struggle with this kind of weather, it’s like, I can do the extremes, I can, you know,
16:37.400 –> 16:44.200
when it’s really moody and grey, yep, there I can do that, if it’s sunny, yeah, I can
16:44.200 –> 16:53.000
do that, when it’s just grey, I find it hard to be inspired by what, any of it, and also
16:53.000 –> 17:00.800
I find it really hard to paint, because it’s all about gradations of, of things, it’s all
17:00.800 –> 17:08.840
about, you know, sort of very purpley greens and very sort of, yeah, very soft things,
17:08.840 –> 17:16.480
and that’s just not that soft, I can do it, but soft and gentle is generally not my work,
17:16.480 –> 17:23.160
it’s not what I do, although I can force myself to do it, but it’s a struggle for me, some
17:23.160 –> 17:27.440
people, they naturally come to it and they’re all, you know, all very ethereal watercolours
17:27.440 –> 17:32.640
and it’s all very, they can do miss scenes, no problem, I know, I’ve tried to do miss
17:32.640 –> 17:39.920
scenes many times before, and they’ve come out shit, so, yeah, it’s not, it’s not easy
17:39.920 –> 17:46.840
depicting missed, yes and no, I mean, you can just go, I’ll use less paint, I’ll use
17:46.840 –> 17:52.800
less, you know, I’ll, you know, it’s lighter, so less things, but no, it’s a little bit
17:52.800 –> 17:57.800
more complicated than that, it’s kind of, all the colours change and you get a look,
17:57.800 –> 18:04.080
everything’s sort of purpley, bluey, grey, yeah, and it generally doesn’t actually create
18:04.080 –> 18:11.920
amazing photos and pictures to paint, either, because when it’s all grey and, yeah, it doesn’t
18:11.920 –> 18:16.600
really stand out as being, oh wow, oh wow, that’s really good, you know, you even got
18:16.600 –> 18:23.760
the contrast, it’s all just grey, and so yes, if this continues tomorrow, I’ll probably
18:23.760 –> 18:32.600
head home, because it’s just, there’s a limit to what I can do, you know, I can only hang
18:32.600 –> 18:39.600
around coffee shops and tea rooms and talking to people in art shops and not in can’t go on
18:39.600 –> 18:50.280
so much, it is, yeah, it, I’m here to work, I’m not here to hang around waiting for some
18:50.280 –> 18:57.520
change in the weather, but you know what will happen, of course, if I do go tomorrow, Friday
18:57.520 –> 19:05.560
it’ll be amazing and we’ll have the most bakingest, hottest bank hardy ever, but yeah, I mean
19:05.560 –> 19:11.920
I have a reason to come back earlier now, so there’s a friend of mine who’s coming
19:11.920 –> 19:21.720
to town suddenly, so I meet up with him, so I might, you know, there’s a reason to come
19:21.720 –> 19:28.600
back at least after the bank hardy, unless I feel that it’s working here and it’s worth
19:28.600 –> 19:36.560
not seeing him over, but I think, you know, I think I will come back over the, you know,
19:36.560 –> 19:42.600
after the bank hardy or, or kind of towards the end of it, it’s probably best to come
19:42.600 –> 19:59.960
back on, you know, just after, but yeah, so it’s weird because I think my first trip
19:59.960 –> 20:08.040
was such a random kind of made up thing where it was just, it was new things, although not
20:08.040 –> 20:13.520
completely new, but new enough that I was like, and, you know, it was all exciting
20:13.520 –> 20:20.080
and it’s all like, oh wow, I feel like now, even though I’m in new areas and the new things
20:20.080 –> 20:27.120
and stuff I’ve not done before, like I’ve never drawn a viaduct, some bridges, but all
20:27.120 –> 20:34.960
I’ve done, and this is very much a different kind of coast, you know, it started Jurassic
20:34.960 –> 20:41.720
Coast, but it’s kind of very much a different kind of world, it feels very different, it’s
20:41.720 –> 20:48.400
on the edge of Devon, so it’s kind of like going into new territory, and that is exciting,
20:48.400 –> 20:56.640
but it’s also, what worries me is I’m not really, I’m not really that excited, it’s
20:56.640 –> 21:03.080
weird, it’s kind of a weird kind of like, oh, because my artwork is not really inspiring
21:03.080 –> 21:08.120
me, so what worries me is, you know, going to new amazing places and doing shit artwork
21:08.120 –> 21:14.840
of them, that’s what bothers me, and it’s not the places for all, it’s me, so anyway,
21:14.840 –> 21:18.920
I’m just going to go wander down there now that the person with the hammer has disappeared,
21:18.920 –> 21:22.880
very worrying, it probably sounded like people murdering babies in the background because
21:22.880 –> 21:27.680
there’s like so much of hammering and child children crying, anyway, people doing their
21:27.680 –> 21:33.160
Mary Anning impression, and I’ll speak to you soon.

00:00.000 –> 00:18.000
Seaton, not Seatown, well, Seaton, not Seatown. I’m not exactly sure it’s people in Seaton?
00:18.000 –> 00:24.000
Like a Sea town, that calls itself Seaton, or Seatown, make a differentiation between here and
00:24.000 –> 00:31.000
Seaton, between here and Seaton, but I am in Seaton, which is actually in Devon, so I’m now
00:31.000 –> 00:42.000
broke through to Devon. And, yes, it is, I’ve decided to walk back, lots of heavy shopping
00:42.000 –> 00:55.000
mostly along the coast to Lyme Regis, but of course looking at the, yes, of course
00:55.000 –> 01:03.000
looking at the, but this is the problem of looking, Google does have an indication of,
01:03.000 –> 01:12.000
maybe I should have looked on it on OsmAnd actually, of height of, see, but it didn’t look like
01:12.000 –> 01:18.000
there was lots of Uppy downies. I can see one here, it’s very uppy, but then I’ll probably
01:18.000 –> 01:22.000
have to walk up as I’ll find the coast path, I don’t know where the coast path is here.
01:22.000 –> 01:33.000
I assume usually, not always, what might be more obvious when I get to Axmouth, which is,
01:33.000 –> 01:43.000
I assume the Mouth of the River Axe, which is just by Seaton, where I’m going to go now,
01:43.000 –> 01:53.000
I assume it will be more obvious from here, where or if there is any concept of a coast
01:53.000 –> 02:06.000
path, but we will find out, you know. But yes, Seaton, this person, is very much like,
02:06.000 –> 02:13.000
it reminds me of Hythe, or some of the, I’ll try and remember the name of, not Hastings
02:13.000 –> 02:20.000
or Folkestone, because Folkestone has gone through a bit of a revival, Hastings is a bit, you
02:20.000 –> 02:26.000
know, a bit shabby in places, but it’s got this art stuff, you know, so some of the other
02:26.000 –> 02:33.000
ones nearby, this place that appears reminds me of Hythe, though Hythe doesn’t pretend to
02:33.000 –> 02:39.000
have very much at all, sort of trying to be a seaside town, but this is definitely a seaside
02:39.000 –> 02:50.000
one, the classic slated, folding apart seaside town, you know, that’s kind of very, very
02:50.000 –> 02:58.000
rough around the edges, though it does have a big test go. This is weird, because I actually
02:58.000 –> 03:03.000
went and looked when I was shopping in Lyme Regis, I was like, I’ll just check if Seaton
03:03.000 –> 03:06.000
actually has some shops, maybe we’ll go to Seaton and get shop there, and all that came
03:06.000 –> 03:14.000
up was Spar and Londis. So I got a few things in Lyme, thinking, oh yeah, I’m going to get
03:14.000 –> 03:20.000
very bored with the selection, it’s going to be Pasta, Pasta, Pasta and Pasta, which
03:20.000 –> 03:25.000
is good, because I have a lot of Pasta, I’ve told you repeatedly, but I was a bit like
03:25.000 –> 03:34.000
that, and then got here and the bus goes past a massive test goes. Like, I kind of understand
03:34.000 –> 03:42.000
a little bit of when someone from the Amazon rainforest walks into a supermarket now, because
03:42.000 –> 03:50.000
having spent two weeks away from any really large or kind of interesting sort of, you
03:50.000 –> 03:57.000
know, what in London would be called a normal supermarket? Old, tiny versions of supermarkets,
03:57.000 –> 04:02.000
or even tiny little shops, have just scrabble around for this bit here, this bit here, or
04:02.000 –> 04:11.000
you know, go to this shop, this might have something. Again and again, and here we are,
04:11.000 –> 04:18.000
massive test, and it was like, oh my God, choice! things! the things have things! I can actually
04:18.000 –> 04:22.000
have food, you actually have a free from section, not only do you have a free from section,
04:22.000 –> 04:26.000
which quite a few places do actually have a tiny one, but you actually have choice in
04:26.000 –> 04:35.000
that free from section, my God. Yeah, for that kind of moment, oh yes, so I now have a very
04:35.000 –> 04:40.000
big heavy bag, which I’m going to try and take over, a big cliff, that’s probably not a good
04:40.000 –> 04:47.000
planning, but I do have an exit strategy of the 378, because I came here on the 378 bus,
04:47.000 –> 04:57.000
now this is where we get out of First World, and into other bus world, AVMT, Axe Valley,
04:57.000 –> 05:02.000
Mini Transport I think stands for, they run several buses from here, and it seems like
05:02.000 –> 05:12.000
Seaton is the next hub, not Lyme Regis, because that’s only on the 378 and the X53 if you
05:12.000 –> 05:19.000
want, because that’s fine if you want to go up to Axe Minster and Yovolway, but it seems
05:19.000 –> 05:25.000
like the next gateway is here, or around here, because there’s lots of buses and there’s
05:25.000 –> 05:28.000
something called Dartline, I’m not going to call it Dartline, and the first instance
05:28.000 –> 05:36.000
of the evil bus company who we hate most of all, Stagecoach, oh there’s someone launching
05:36.000 –> 05:47.000
a boat here, Stagecoach, and so yes, they tend to be around Exeter, Taunton
05:47.000 –> 05:54.000
way, so obviously we’re getting into Stagecoach world, and it was a nine bus and that went
05:54.000 –> 06:04.000
to Taunton, and extra I think, so yes I think Seaton is probably the next kind of hub, and
06:04.000 –> 06:10.000
it really looks really interesting further round to Beer and Branskin I think it is, so
06:10.000 –> 06:16.000
I think it’ll be a good next sort of, that doesn’t mean that we necessarily have to stay
06:16.000 –> 06:25.000
here, this is where I’ll probably come and capture the buses from, and it uses a little
06:25.000 –> 06:31.000
hub, and next time I might need to come here a bit further down nearby, and the way that
06:31.000 –> 06:35.000
I was staying near Bridport, and I was using that as a sort of hub, and the way I was doing
06:35.000 –> 06:41.000
the same with Waymouth, you don’t have to stay in that place, but you can stay nearby,
06:41.000 –> 06:47.000
get buses in, and change there, and you’ve got a little bit, so Seaton is a good interchange
06:47.000 –> 07:02.000
for a whole bunch of buses, but yeah, it’s not, it’s a world away from Lyme Regis I have to say,
07:02.000 –> 07:07.000
anyway I’ve got to go now, I’ve got to go and walk over a cliff with lots of food in my bag,
07:07.000 –> 07:10.000
and I’ll take a picture of a ridge, so I’ll speak to you soon.
07:10.000 –> 07:27.000
Thank you. Yes, an addendum to my previous bit, I’m walking to Lyme Regis, and it said,
07:27.000 –> 07:32.000
I came up with a sign, I should take a picture of it, came up with a sign saying, this is
07:32.000 –> 07:38.000
a three and a half, four hour walk, yeah that’s okay, and it’s arduous, and it’s really, you
07:38.000 –> 07:49.000
know, it’s really hard going, and so far I’ve come across a bench, you know, this is fairly,
07:49.000 –> 07:56.000
you know, this is not arduous at all, I mean, I admit there might be bits of it that are arduous,
07:56.000 –> 08:03.000
but if a lot of it’s like this, then it’s fine, it’s very hard to say what their idea of arduous,
08:03.000 –> 08:09.000
but what was the interesting thing is that there was no way out, although to be really honest,
08:09.000 –> 08:17.000
if I have to go through a wheat field, like I saw earlier, to get out of here, then I will.
08:17.000 –> 08:24.000
But yeah, what’s probably completely confusing in the last section was I said aximus,
08:24.000 –> 08:33.000
yeah aximus, not ex-mus, it seems like this whole area is for the things which are like, sound
08:33.000 –> 08:41.000
like other things, so sea-tow and seeding, or might both be seeding, axmus, eggmus, you know,
08:41.000 –> 08:48.000
they’re not all milk, not all milk-plash, we’re having a showy’s day I think, it’s Thursday
08:48.000 –> 08:54.000
and I think the milk-plash show is on because there were rain bosses from the line Regis,
08:54.000 –> 08:59.000
which is why I was a bit panicked about where I’d get my bus because I’d closed the main road.
08:59.000 –> 09:09.000
I’ve dented my phone screen with my poor screen, I think I haven’t cracked it, I’ve just dented it.
09:09.000 –> 09:17.000
I found out the hardware that it’s a hard service but it’s not Gorilla Glass, it scratches.
09:17.000 –> 09:23.000
Ah, cheapy phones, otherwise very good.
09:23.000 –> 09:34.000
XF3, XF3 Poco, Xiaomi, Xiaomi, Xiaomi, Meow, whatever the word is called.
09:34.000 –> 09:41.000
Be careful with that screen now, it seems to have a plastic covering over the front,
09:41.000 –> 09:51.000
I think I’ll scratch that, I don’t think it doesn’t feel like glass, so I think it’s kind of like a protective covering on top.
09:51.000 –> 09:54.000
Hopefully it doesn’t fuck the phone up.
09:54.000 –> 10:00.000
But yes, so I was going to record this on the little bench I found, took a picture of it,
10:00.000 –> 10:03.000
and I really wish I took a picture of that side.
10:03.000 –> 10:11.000
I was like, what hardware scale are we talking about?
10:11.000 –> 10:21.000
I think we’re at scaling K2, Everest, Walking Ben Nevis, Golden Cap, Mupe Bay,
10:21.000 –> 10:25.000
because there’s a bit of Mupe Bay, even I bottled down because it was just like,
10:25.000 –> 10:36.000
up a cliff, up a cliff, literally steps up a cliff, I’m not joking, like one tumble and you are dead type shit.
10:36.000 –> 10:39.000
I’m not referring to Tumblr.
10:39.000 –> 10:42.000
Yeah, so what scale?
10:42.000 –> 10:52.000
Because I’ve felt experience to this shit, but just saying it’s an arduous, I can’t remember the word,
10:52.000 –> 10:55.000
not gruelling, but it’s very similar to that.
10:55.000 –> 11:01.000
Arduous and, you know, maybe I’ll find the sign online somewhere, I wish I took a picture of it.
11:01.000 –> 11:04.000
I was just like, okay.
11:04.000 –> 11:13.000
Also, to tell you this, just to turn off to Axmouth, you know, you don’t tell you that the bottom of the hill
11:13.000 –> 11:18.000
you just climbed up, because that was rather steep and horrible, through a golf course.
11:18.000 –> 11:26.000
So they don’t tell you then, so I think there’s a likelihood I won’t actually get any work done today.
11:26.000 –> 11:31.000
Or if it is, it’ll be very quick, because obviously, because of that sign, I’m like, hmm,
11:31.000 –> 11:36.000
I’d be rather angry if I get to fucking line ridges and I’m like, was that it?
11:36.000 –> 11:41.000
You know, with hours to spare and go.
11:41.000 –> 11:44.000
Oh, I could have stopped and done somewhere.
11:44.000 –> 11:51.000
But you’ll find out in the next podcast listener with the neuro jeopardy,
11:51.000 –> 11:58.000
because I’m a bit like the last one, yes, I’m staying.
11:58.000 –> 12:05.000
But yeah, I’ve got this shopping from the big Tesco in my bag as well, which is not helping.
12:05.000 –> 12:11.000
So we’ll find out how scary it is.
12:11.000 –> 12:14.000
I mean, seriously, they’ve got fences.
12:14.000 –> 12:16.000
I’m looking at one here.
12:16.000 –> 12:18.000
Danger cliff edge.
12:18.000 –> 12:19.000
Sheer drop.
12:19.000 –> 12:20.000
There’s signs.
12:20.000 –> 12:21.000
There’s a fence.
12:21.000 –> 12:22.000
We have benches.
12:22.000 –> 12:24.000
We have signs even.
12:24.000 –> 12:26.000
And mark paths.
12:26.000 –> 12:29.000
This is just not.
12:29.000 –> 12:31.000
This is just not Lulworth.
12:31.000 –> 12:37.000
The impression that Devon would shut down most of Lulworth and Mupe Bay and Durdle Door.
12:37.000 –> 12:39.000
We just called it unsafe.
12:39.000 –> 12:41.000
I’m really healthy and safe to go mad.
12:41.000 –> 12:42.000
Randy on you.
12:42.000 –> 12:50.000
But seriously, their idea of, I mean, golden cap was, you know, hard to walk up.
12:50.000 –> 12:52.000
And then you’ve got the Stonebarrow Hill afterwards.
12:52.000 –> 12:54.000
That was like, that was difficult.
12:54.000 –> 12:55.000
One, two, one.
12:55.000 –> 12:57.000
And one of them is like, okay.
12:57.000 –> 13:00.000
Two hour.
13:00.000 –> 13:06.000
But even though they had benches on them, even though they were, I’ve said this in the podcast,
13:06.000 –> 13:09.000
even though they were just like, okay.
13:09.000 –> 13:17.000
You know, it wasn’t the real wild further up the coast where it’s just like, you don’t know what the path is.
13:17.000 –> 13:20.000
There’s no marks on the path.
13:20.000 –> 13:31.000
You might find, you’re going to follow, maybe find those little, not signs, but those little, you know, bollardy, wooden bollardy things with the thing on.
13:31.000 –> 13:33.000
And that’s it.
13:33.000 –> 13:36.000
You’ve just got to not fall off the edge.
13:36.000 –> 13:39.000
And there’s not a fence to be found.
13:39.000 –> 13:42.000
So yeah, I find it funny, their idea of arduous.
13:42.000 –> 13:44.000
So we’ll see if that’s right or not.
13:44.000 –> 13:49.000
And I say, you might be famous last words about this.
13:49.000 –> 13:53.000
I might go, oh my God, I really wish I hadn’t done this.
13:53.000 –> 13:58.000
But I’m going to get back to Lyme Regis and I’ve got all my shopping with me.
13:58.000 –> 14:00.000
I’ve got all my people with me.
14:00.000 –> 14:03.000
Yeah, the preset’s great.
14:03.000 –> 14:04.000
And I’ve got to get back.
14:04.000 –> 14:08.000
So I’m committed now, although I can go back.
14:08.000 –> 14:10.000
In the past, I’ve done that.
14:10.000 –> 14:13.000
I just kept going and I’ve gotten myself into more trouble.
14:13.000 –> 14:16.000
But here it’s just like, yeah.
14:16.000 –> 14:32.000
So I better go.
