00:00.000 –> 00:23.840
The rushing water indicates that I’m walking past a lot. Is it the Lym? I think it’s the Lym.

00:23.840 –> 00:36.320
I’m walking from the Upper Lyme to the Lyme Regis to see if I can get some food. I’ve

00:36.320 –> 00:49.320
all camped up at Wasp Farm. Interestingly, the previous one was all about being pelted

00:49.320 –> 00:56.680
with apples. Pelted with acorns. This one is all apples. I’ve already met one of the

00:56.680 –> 01:04.080
wasps and I’m kicking all the apples away. It’s a place called The Orchard. It’s Wasp

01:04.080 –> 01:09.880
Farm. I put a nasty thing in there because no one else wanted to go there. We shall

01:09.880 –> 01:20.600
see what it’s like when I try and cook. I might end up besieged by wasps. It’s people

01:20.600 –> 01:29.440
friendly. They have a little golf cart that takes you there. It sounds nice but then it’s

01:29.440 –> 01:35.320
like I was having to get my bearings when I came out because I didn’t walk it. I can

01:35.320 –> 01:45.640
always reverse my tracks and walk somewhere. I’m not sure I got out. I’m going to walk.

01:45.640 –> 01:54.080
The Talbot Arms is full for food tonight. Apparently you have to book the hours are random. I don’t

01:54.080 –> 01:59.160
know if I’ll get to eat there. I’ve never got to eat there. Partly because when I was at

01:59.160 –> 02:07.800
Cannington, which apparently is for sale, which is really sad, I knew that they were

02:07.800 –> 02:11.440
mommying and aring about whether to continue it. The rest of us thought this is a great

02:11.440 –> 02:28.160
opportunity and that view of the viaduct and the whole thing. It’s not surprised but I

02:28.160 –> 02:33.760
checked them what’s happening. They’re not running. It’s sad that Wasp Farm people tell

02:33.760 –> 02:40.120
me they’re selling at a price they’re not getting. They want a lot for the site, a lot

02:40.120 –> 02:52.160
more than. There’s a flat site but it’s mostly a site with hills. There’s not some flat bits.

02:52.160 –> 03:10.720
There isn’t a shop or online. There is a shower block and very old school. Quite a scary

03:10.720 –> 03:17.480
contraption. You put the 20ps. I didn’t talk about that last year. For me it was more

03:17.480 –> 03:25.640
about the people. For me, it was the people that ran it and the people that went there.

03:25.640 –> 03:34.120
There was the community. That’s really sad to see that go. It’s strange because I damn

03:34.120 –> 03:44.920
sold it so I thought they would continue running it until they sold it. I guess there’s a certain

03:44.920 –> 03:54.640
amount of costs to running it. There’s that. We’ll see. I’ll have to check the bus situation

03:54.640 –> 04:03.840
because I got lied to by first bus coming down because the timetables have got no website

04:03.840 –> 04:14.360
apparently in the winter timetables. I arrive and I see the X-51 going past me. It was supposed

04:14.360 –> 04:22.720
to be either 20 of a school day, so 35 passed or 45 past I was like, this is 20 past.

04:22.720 –> 04:33.720
That’s correct. I had to take the X-53. I had to take the one that goes through Dorchester

04:33.760 –> 04:42.200
and it was all this faff about. I phoned the site to say, is there space in coming? I

04:42.200 –> 04:51.000
was like, I was planning to. I would have been there for five if it wasn’t for that

04:51.000 –> 05:02.600
terrible planning because the train from Wareham and the train to Amos comes in at that time.

05:02.600 –> 05:10.680
It’s like, who have a plan attached? Why? No form of literally five, ten minutes later

05:10.680 –> 05:18.520
and it’s an interchange. The stupidity of the people who run the bus companies. I got

05:18.520 –> 05:24.600
the X-51, which is a Dorchester service, and the guy had the heating on all the way. That’s

05:24.600 –> 05:32.880
boiling. Well, the hottest days of the year with the humidity. There I am, you know, getting

05:32.880 –> 05:40.040
boiled to death. And then the coup de grâce, as I find out, my Hard Up Hiker YouTube channel

05:40.040 –> 05:51.600
has been removed, not suspended, not blocked, completely erased by YouTube. And I don’t

05:52.600 –> 05:58.440
know, it’s that strike three, that strike three of the major things that happen. There’s been

05:58.440 –> 06:06.520
lots of little things, you know, but, you know, I don’t really count the sunburn because I sorted

06:06.520 –> 06:13.200
that out. And it’s quite funny because I’ve, my neck looks quite, you know, obviously brown, fine.

06:13.720 –> 06:19.640
None of them to my face earlier, I was like, oh my God, because I have been putting Factor 50

06:19.680 –> 06:26.240
sunblock on everything, and including my face, but it seems like my face hasn’t really taken so

06:26.240 –> 06:38.640
well. And I’ve gone rather brown. So I need to put some more of the aloe, aloe, aloe, Vera on that.

06:38.640 –> 06:54.440
So, so, yeah, it’s just kind of all these things. It’s like, I was just ranting and decided to record

06:54.440 –> 07:02.520
this as I walked down the river. River is always good places for reflection. And to check people

07:02.520 –> 07:03.600
shouting at their dogs.

07:07.320 –> 07:08.560
People shouting generally.

07:17.800 –> 07:24.240
Dogs be dogs. It’s a bit like, it’s always having a dog’s going in the water. And it’s like, it’s one of

07:24.240 –> 07:28.800
the hottest days of the year. And across the dogs are going to run full water and get wet because

07:28.800 –> 07:37.600
they need to cool down. It’s like, bizarre, like horrible dog. No, that’s normal for a dog. They’re

07:37.600 –> 07:49.440
the ones in fur. You don’t have fur. But yeah, so, so yes, I was just thinking about how it’s the

07:49.440 –> 07:58.080
feeling is that I’m very good at self sabotaging myself anyway. And the weirt bit, it’s very

07:58.080 –> 08:07.800
weiry bit. I don’t have to, it’s amazing that anything gets done. Try and get past the weir.

08:13.200 –> 08:26.360
We’re on some holiday. It’s actually ultimate, really. But I’m so good at self sabotaging

08:26.960 –> 08:36.840
myself. But when it happens to from someone else, it’s kind of like, my brain just goes, see, see,

08:37.760 –> 08:47.520
it’s kind of doubly worse in a way. So because I have to fight to get anything out and anything done

08:47.520 –> 08:57.720
and anything, I have to find myself to do it. And so when other events kind of conspire, or, you

08:57.720 –> 09:06.480
know, I’ve got no idea what triggered YouTube, it’s for deception and scamming. And I’m like, but I am,

09:06.480 –> 09:12.560
this is me in a tent, talking about equipment. That’s what the channel is. And no point do

09:12.560 –> 09:18.840
I say, this is a paid promotion and not flag it as a paid promotion. And no point. I said,

09:18.840 –> 09:23.960
specifically in it, I’m not being paid by these people. I thought that was fine to review things.

09:23.960 –> 09:28.840
If you’re not being paid to review them, I thought that’s actually something they’d probably want.

09:28.840 –> 09:36.200
Because there’s a problem with paid promotion. Not being flagged properly. A lot of things

09:36.200 –> 09:42.800
being on YouTube being fake ads. You know, and if it was a fake ad, what, they’re going.

09:42.800 –> 09:51.280
What are they going to do? Drive them to the water? Because literally, where I am on this

09:51.280 –> 09:58.360
we’re in, sort of, the edges of lime regions, it goes, someone’s fell asleep here. It was so hot

09:58.440 –> 10:09.160
one day and I was so tired. Which is worry. The road literally goes into a launchway into the river.

10:09.160 –> 10:17.280
So you could drive down there if they want, but it won’t flow very far. So yeah, it’s kind of

10:18.200 –> 10:25.080
gutting. I mean, the first thing was my fault entirely. The pen knife.

10:25.080 –> 10:35.000
The second thing wasn’t. I think it was accidental falling over. The third thing it’s like,

10:35.000 –> 10:42.120
and it was actually seven days ago, it happened. Because it’s, I’ve set up a separate account

10:42.320 –> 10:47.840
because I don’t know if that’s triggered it. I said, I don’t think it’s illegal to set up a

10:47.840 –> 10:57.000
second account with a separate Gmail address. Maybe it is now. It used to be. Because my other

10:57.000 –> 11:00.520
channel, which has got nothing to do with that, I didn’t want to link the two because it’s like,

11:00.520 –> 11:10.120
it’s gotten us to do mashups on music. There’s got demonetised years ago, decades ago. And there’s

11:10.120 –> 11:17.760
got kinds of limits on it still. And I wanted to kind of start fresh with something completely new.

11:17.760 –> 11:29.120
Maybe Google’s like, no, you must always pay for your past sins. Maybe it’s that. You know,

11:29.120 –> 11:36.000
I’m doubtful. I think it’s fine to have because businesses do that because they’ll have different

11:36.000 –> 11:42.000
people looking after different things and, you know, different content creators, but it’s,

11:42.000 –> 11:48.960
you know, kind of linked. Yeah, but there’s no cross thinking. I’m not going, I’ll look at my

11:48.960 –> 11:56.400
other channel or this is channel two of this channel. There was no connection. You know,

11:56.400 –> 12:01.880
but obviously when I logged in on the phone, it must have worked out that I’m the same person.

12:02.760 –> 12:12.560
And sort of deceptive, which is bizarre because I’m not aware there’s any limit to having two

12:12.560 –> 12:20.080
YouTube accounts with different emails. Because that just makes a lot of admin sense, really.

12:20.080 –> 12:26.120
If you’ve got it all linked to the same thing, or linked to the same, you know, and it might be,

12:26.120 –> 12:31.120
if I said a new channel, it seems a new channel, but I suspect not. I suspect it inherits the

12:31.120 –> 12:41.120
same problems as Tim Bearcub with all the mashup copyright strikes. But I won’t get those,

12:41.120 –> 12:49.640
or Hard of Hiker, because Hard of Hiker, or if it ever comes back, or is having an interesting

12:49.640 –> 12:55.920
conversation with their Twitter team, you know, I tagged them and they went, Oh, have you sent

12:55.920 –> 13:01.880
them? I think yes, I have. Have they responded? No. And they probably never will, because nowadays

13:01.880 –> 13:10.280
it seems like this deceptive and scamming is just like a catch-all for anything they don’t like,

13:10.280 –> 13:17.840
and very rarely do they ever rescind that. It’s not just Google. It’s anything, you know, Twitch,

13:17.840 –> 13:23.840
friends of a Twitch that happened with Twitch. You know, if their system thinks you’re dodgy,

13:24.640 –> 13:34.000
they just go, You’re dodgy. Bye. And that’s it. No, it really shouldn’t be that way.

13:38.000 –> 13:48.280
But it is. And so I’m sort of, and I filmed two videos. One was a review of the two head

13:48.280 –> 13:54.720
torches I have, where I actually did a field thing, and I was going against the received

13:54.720 –> 14:02.320
wisdom, which is go get a certain brand. And then I did a sort of a pack up review of what I felt

14:02.320 –> 14:07.880
about each of the things I’ve been using and going, Here we are. It’s only when I went to

14:07.880 –> 14:15.960
upload it just when they gave me a very strange error about, you know, I can’t show that. And it

14:15.960 –> 14:21.720
turns out I can’t look in anymore and looked out because I was apparently supposed to remove it.

14:21.720 –> 14:27.000
And I did that, tried to get back in again, went to look at the Gmail, and this is on the

14:27.000 –> 14:34.320
set of August. Your account has been removed for deceptive and scamming practices. And it’s like,

14:34.320 –> 14:45.280
why? I can’t think of anything apart from having two separate accounts, which as I say,

14:45.280 –> 14:49.960
I know other people have had this, you know, people with very big YouTubers have multiple

14:49.960 –> 14:59.120
accounts. It’s not unusual. And usually separate, not linked, because there’s never a problem with

14:59.120 –> 15:10.880
the first one, you’ll lose all of them. So, yeah. Anyway, we’re in the throbbing fleshpots of

15:15.280 –> 15:34.720
Lyme Regis. Oh, happy day. So I might actually get some food. That’ll be good. Definitely

15:34.720 –> 15:43.920
a drink as well. I’ve been told to go try the cObb Arms by the Talbot Arms people. So I try and

15:43.920 –> 15:49.280
look at that, but there’s got the Ship Inn which says still nine and the chippy but no idea how long

15:49.280 –> 15:57.280
for. So I might actually get some munchies. That would make a shit day a bit more tolerable.

15:57.680 –> 16:06.720
Because my lunch was a half eaten sandwich from yesterday and a melted chocolate bar. It was

16:06.720 –> 16:13.600
depressing because I tried to get something in Waymouth, but literally, I didn’t know. This is

16:13.600 –> 16:18.880
the problem with buses. You don’t know how arsey the driver is going to be about food. And I was

16:18.880 –> 16:23.080
thinking, oh, if I can’t turn up with fish and chips, and I have to sCorfe them in about five

16:23.080 –> 16:28.360
minutes or throw them away. And then as it got on, everyone was arriving with ice creams and

16:28.360 –> 16:35.000
it’s like, maybe it’s an issue around here. But it is random. The amount of times I have to waste

16:35.000 –> 16:49.240
food or throw things away. Because the driver is a twat, basically. Anyway, I’ll speak to you soon.

WEBVTT

00:23.860 –> 00:29.980
I don’t know how much you

00:29.980 –> 00:36.860
can hear of the church bells that are going off and the seagulls and a couple of

00:36.860 –> 00:46.780
girls that are it’s dusk or pretty much night and they’re going for a swim and

00:46.780 –> 00:51.500
that’s how warm it is tonight it’s like 19 degrees crazily warm I think it’s

00:51.500 –> 00:58.980
warmest days of the year or not so much necessary figures but humidity yes nice

00:58.980 –> 01:09.100
been on bus and the train and I’m putting out my I have a field I have a do

01:09.100 –> 01:14.340
not fucking bother me field it works quite well I generally use it when I’m

01:14.340 –> 01:21.660
out working I miss admittedly can do it even even without the headphones it

01:21.660 –> 01:24.540
seems like the body language that says basically keep the fuck away because

01:24.540 –> 01:31.620
that is how I feel but it’s it’s nice and I didn’t expect it on each of the

01:31.620 –> 01:43.820
trips there’s always a slightly drunken or very drunken night beach visit but I

01:43.820 –> 01:48.500
didn’t expect it to be Lyme Regis

01:49.340 –> 01:54.220
we said that somebody with a dog came up and the dog was very interested in my

01:54.220 –> 02:04.120
stuff but I had a very good fish and chips a la papier I decided the

02:04.120 –> 02:09.260
Cobb Arms is like down on the marine parade it’s fucking miles away having

02:09.260 –> 02:12.980
been here before I know not to just go let’s go walk down to the marine parade

02:12.980 –> 02:19.260
because it’s like a mile or half a mile take orders a mile it’s a long way I was

02:19.260 –> 02:22.540
like well the chips are so open and actually I’ve been spending a lot of

02:22.540 –> 02:29.540
money on pub visits so fuck it I know it’s very nice had a Cod and chips my new

02:29.540 –> 02:38.380
favourite actually had a Cod and chips but I’ve been reflecting I dare anyone come near

02:38.380 –> 02:47.300
me seriously I fucking dare I’m in that kind of mood actually really upset about

02:47.300 –> 02:52.380
what happened to the channel and kind of like what what’s been going on with this

02:52.380 –> 03:00.540
trip but the sea is cool cooling like is if you go into it

03:00.540 –> 03:06.340
actually after such a warming day it’s very very warm actually I’m not surprised

03:06.340 –> 03:11.380
that night swimming because it is like 19 degrees there’s a bit of a breeze

03:11.380 –> 03:19.980
pulling it down a bit but what seems pretty warm actually after that scorching

03:19.980 –> 03:27.900
day but why do I like to see I was thinking about this and obviously the

03:27.900 –> 03:34.180
noise I mean white noise is always good don’t mean the song by AlunaGeorge but

03:34.180 –> 03:39.540
that’s pretty good as well but on the dealie-a-darbish side project that’s

03:39.540 –> 03:51.220
very good but no it’s it’s that sort of endless like noise very chaotic but

03:51.220 –> 03:57.040
soothing nature of the waves which is a bit like why them and rain are quite

03:57.040 –> 04:02.540
often used on sleep apps but I think it’s really that there’s a circle of

04:02.540 –> 04:09.900
motion it’s like it’s you have a this is probably sound really wanky as motion

04:09.900 –> 04:14.300
bits and we go anywhere because the tide always falls back and it comes back

04:14.300 –> 04:23.500
and goes back comes back again it never really finishes and that is very much

04:23.500 –> 04:28.500
about time and I was joking earlier that to myself because no one else was

04:28.660 –> 04:33.980
interested that you know Lyme stands for the land that time forgot and I think

04:33.980 –> 04:37.220
I kind of made that joke last time but I never really thought of you know it’s

04:37.220 –> 04:42.180
contraction yeah thinking the Lyme that land forgot the Lyme that time forgot

04:42.180 –> 04:50.180
because walking up the main drag it was like apart from a sudden interest in

04:50.180 –> 04:56.620
milkshakes there’s a sudden mania for milkshakes at the moment which wasn’t

04:56.660 –> 05:02.740
there a year ago but everything else is like yeah that shop’s there that shop’s

05:02.740 –> 05:06.180
there that shop’s there that shop’s there you know the Co-Op is there Tesco is there

05:06.180 –> 05:13.780
there’s a few few empty shops but mostly it’s like the art shops there and you

05:13.780 –> 05:17.780
know all the shops I didn’t say to check to see if test I didn’t see if trespass

05:17.780 –> 05:26.340
they move further up salt rock is there oh salt rock bane of my existence salt

05:26.380 –> 05:30.740
rock are basically a fashion brand for people like to pretend to be walking the

05:30.740 –> 05:39.340
Jurassic way but actually don’t they just hang around campsites that’s something

05:39.340 –> 05:43.220
very wrong with the idea that outdoor shops have got fashion brands but you

05:43.220 –> 05:48.180
know I suppose you blame Henry Lloyd & Musto for that but he’s become you know

05:48.180 –> 05:53.580
this thing of thing oh oh I would I would go walking across cliff tops I

05:53.580 –> 06:02.700
happen to be currently disposed in this pub and also I’m fat as fuck you know

06:02.700 –> 06:12.820
I’m never making past the campsite yeah there’s a lot of that and I find that

06:12.820 –> 06:16.820
really bizarre because it’s like either you want to be a proper outdoor shop or

06:16.820 –> 06:21.580
a fashion brand but you know I go into shops going oh maybe they have some oh

06:21.580 –> 06:27.700
they’re just a just a they’re just a they’re just a JD sports or sports

06:27.700 –> 06:31.820
direct really oh at least I suppose you could actually use sports direct stuff

06:31.820 –> 06:36.700
for sports but you know a lot of people just buy the trainers to wear around the

06:36.700 –> 06:42.820
hood and don’t actually ever go doing any basketball or jogging or whatever

06:42.820 –> 06:48.940
but at least I actually do use the Sauconys on the trail and I have to say

06:48.940 –> 06:52.060
to report that the dousing in the shower that’s right they have stopped

06:52.060 –> 06:56.500
spending of cash it which is a good start because the rest of the rest of the

06:56.500 –> 07:01.500
trip has become quite shitty I’m not sure the news about the YouTube thing it’s

07:01.500 –> 07:08.420
just like so as I said one more thing one more major thing goes on I’m going

07:08.420 –> 07:19.540
to because it’s been lots of little little things and a fuckload of big

07:19.540 –> 07:26.300
things it’s really for if you count the sunburn but I kind of expected that I

07:26.300 –> 07:32.660
just stupidly didn’t bring any Aloe Vera which next time I will I’ve got like

07:32.660 –> 07:38.020
an expensive tube of it which is quite small so I’ll probably bring that but it

07:38.020 –> 07:42.420
really just works on the Vera works which cream but they keep putting fucking

07:42.420 –> 07:46.660
meths in it they keep putting alcohol in it it’s like why do you put alcohol in

07:46.660 –> 07:52.380
something that’s supposed to be soothing it’s very bizarre it’s a meths it’s

07:52.380 –> 07:57.300
fucking meths like spirits you put it in skin creams and it’s like I kind of

07:57.300 –> 08:03.100
understand it it’s probably so it is less greasy

08:04.180 –> 08:14.020
but you know dissolves itself I see lights just turn lights on oh my god I’m

08:14.020 –> 08:20.060
not happy about that I prefer it when it’s dark

08:20.060 –> 08:37.860
but anyway yeah it’s quite funny because the the bench I’m on is all a few like

08:37.860 –> 08:43.820
sea-facing benches most of us did they spend millions I think on me doing the

08:43.820 –> 08:48.540
front of it with the there’s a theatre nearby that looks like a very strange

08:48.700 –> 08:53.660
Castilian prison and then you’ve got these sort of alcoves and the reason for

08:53.660 –> 08:56.940
that is because obviously the rest of the year you know this is one of the few

08:56.940 –> 09:03.780
times a year it’s actually nice it’s just like blasting sea breeze and rain so

09:03.780 –> 09:09.180
obviously people want to be shielded and most of the most of the benches are

09:09.180 –> 09:16.300
shielded like that in the middle sort of castle like little rounds like defensive

09:17.060 –> 09:22.540
around a light huddled around the light it’s like yes that’s that’s because the

09:22.540 –> 09:27.700
rest of the year yeah it is not like this it’s not 19 degrees and sort of

09:27.700 –> 09:36.140
sunny and hot the rest of the year it’s yeah I’ve experienced about that the

09:36.140 –> 09:40.780
fogs here can be ripped on in chronic and we’ll see I mean because I’m further

09:40.780 –> 09:48.820
up on the hill I think it will be warmer and better at night we’ll find out

09:48.820 –> 09:52.260
something about that valley the Cannington valley it can get very

09:52.260 –> 09:59.580
especially well but the Cannington itself goes right by the the stream though

09:59.580 –> 10:03.060
the stream isn’t part of the property but you know there’s like a stream in the

10:03.060 –> 10:09.340
valley that is the aqueduct was running over it’s okay I can get quite cold at

10:09.340 –> 10:14.260
night it was like last year it was we got down to about zero or two freezing

10:14.260 –> 10:18.060
well I’ve been under this time this time I’m ready the series might isn’t because

10:18.060 –> 10:26.580
I’ve got my down I got my down bag I got my hash pipe I don’t have that you know so

10:26.580 –> 10:31.380
I’m ready so that’s why it’s that’s why it’s blistering thanks everyone you can

10:31.380 –> 10:36.420
thank me it’s because Tim took his down bag and this and his base layers the

10:36.420 –> 10:43.140
reason why you’re having this heatwave if I didn’t freezing as fuck it’s fine

10:43.140 –> 10:49.860
I’m happy to take those because I say that’s what destroyed partly one of two

10:49.860 –> 10:54.940
things are what destroyed Jaunt 2 which was the cold and my backpack breaking

10:54.940 –> 11:00.380
and it’s kind of weird being here because I mean if you remember from last

11:00.380 –> 11:06.660
year I was at I’m actually at the place about a hundred meters from the place I

11:06.660 –> 11:12.420
did the Canute steps things the King can you kind of painting as the tide came

11:12.420 –> 11:15.620
in as the last thing I did on that project so it feels weirdly

11:15.620 –> 11:24.420
psychical to do that now if I don’t continue if I do I’ve mixed feelings

11:24.420 –> 11:30.700
it’s like I’d like to get the light to walk the last bit the Exmouth in with that

11:30.700 –> 11:36.980
kind of stuff but I had to partly depends on the buses because not only the

11:36.980 –> 11:42.540
First buses fuckerage we had today with them putting timetables on their site

11:42.540 –> 11:51.220
which are old great things it’s a damn notable time tables are wrong but also I

11:51.260 –> 12:00.860
think the I forget the name of them is that a child or a seagull was it a

12:00.860 –> 12:10.980
seagull child was it just Damien yeah seriously don’t come near me not in the

12:10.980 –> 12:18.340
mood so we’ve got the buses issue that I said you know from last year that the

12:18.380 –> 12:24.620
main bus company that goes through the area I want to talk to those there is a

12:24.620 –> 12:28.900
way of kind of going through Axminster to Exmouth which is the first buses do so

12:28.900 –> 12:34.420
that I can kind of bypass it I think but the bit in between is all served by a

12:34.420 –> 12:38.940
bus company that doesn’t do weekends or certainly doesn’t do Sundays so I might

12:38.940 –> 12:45.860
have to decide whether to stay here for an extra couple of days over the weekend

12:45.900 –> 12:52.940
or bail on the Friday which is tomorrow even though I’ve bought two diets which

12:52.940 –> 12:59.380
is a bit stubborn me but you know I was like I need to like you know after the

13:00.460 –> 13:05.580
after the news I should know it’s before that but you know I was just like I need

13:05.580 –> 13:10.940
time to distress I need time to chill out any time to not hear screaming

13:10.940 –> 13:20.180
children would be nice you know I need time to just sort you out a bit but

13:20.180 –> 13:26.940
whether it’s good to do that here on this campsite I don’t know we’ll say it’s not

13:26.940 –> 13:32.860
a Eweleaze and it’s not a Cannington it’s annoying because Cannington was my new

13:32.860 –> 13:38.620
Eweleaze it was like Eweleaze was getting a bit too infested with children and because

13:38.620 –> 13:42.540
it only runs July and August it’s just all about kids and it’s quite cheap

13:42.540 –> 13:49.020
really cheap food it’s very convenient but it’s really irritating with the

13:49.020 –> 13:53.820
children playing in the showers and pissing around and and running around in

13:53.820 –> 13:57.940
mobs and it must be great for them it’s really tiring for people who aren’t who

13:57.940 –> 14:02.700
don’t have children to have to put up with their bullshit you know the parents

14:02.740 –> 14:09.020
have the parents have signed up for that bullshit I haven’t you know I’m like

14:09.020 –> 14:13.180
control your children but you know I can understand you know if the kids want to

14:13.180 –> 14:17.580
have space too but it makes it just a really bit and then but it was more the

14:17.580 –> 14:23.060
fact that they they kept I got the distinct expression last time I went to

14:23.060 –> 14:26.060
The Barn which is a posh place and they turned me away because I didn’t fit

14:26.700 –> 14:32.940
rather than have a full they weren’t full and I went there before the before the

14:32.940 –> 14:38.220
time and you know and they were still like oh no we can’t I was like they didn’t

14:38.220 –> 14:44.620
say you were full you said we can’t I was like yes okay that’s why I didn’t go

14:44.620 –> 14:49.020
back and Cannington was supposed to be the new one he’s more friendly of

14:49.020 –> 14:53.500
people that’s gone so and I keep reminding myself oh you’ll find new

14:53.500 –> 14:57.940
Cannington’s new you leave this new new places that you’re exciting you but

14:57.940 –> 15:06.100
excited about but it’s a bit like you’re the tide it goes back goes forth it goes

15:06.100 –> 15:16.460
back goes forth it’s a it’s a cycle but still there is a sort of a feeling it’s

15:16.460 –> 15:28.060
kind of a roading away and it’s kind of like really is that all there is so yes

15:28.060 –> 15:33.940
I did get some prosecco one that is about ten it was a massive queue for the

15:33.940 –> 15:38.860
chips I knew the co-op had had had these little little prosecco which I had

15:38.860 –> 15:46.620
last year and so I sort of ran well almost ran to the prosecco and got back

15:46.620 –> 15:51.460
and actually I thought oh I bet the I bet it’s going cold and they’ve called me

15:51.460 –> 15:55.060
or whatever nope nope I was arrived number four scored and I was number six

15:55.060 –> 16:05.100
that sounds good but yeah it’s it’s kind of a weird thing it’s just

16:05.100 –> 16:14.460
as I said I found a home trying to find somewhere that you feel comfortable

16:14.460 –> 16:20.940
and safe and not hassled by but as soon as you find that place it gets destroyed

16:20.940 –> 16:29.740
so it never lasts that kind of change that a bit like the sea on the shore it’s

16:29.740 –> 16:39.340
it’s kind of the same ever-changing probably why I like like seas the sea

16:39.340 –> 16:45.340
is because that reason watching it like they can’t be just a reflection is not

16:45.340 –> 16:50.460
just an autistic thing because the only reflection in the dark is the sound but

16:50.460 –> 16:53.620
also the reminder that it’s like tempest fugitive it doesn’t really matter in

16:53.620 –> 16:57.780
your way because it’s going to pull back anyway you know if something goes wrong

16:57.780 –> 17:05.700
it’s just gonna say I’m a shit different day but you know what a day but I’ve had

17:05.700 –> 17:10.140
several these water days and that’s the problem it’s not just been one what a

17:10.140 –> 17:15.260
day Friday was terrible falling over was terrible and then this is the same

17:15.260 –> 17:20.300
with three of them this holiday that’s unusual easy to be one real fuck up

17:20.300 –> 17:27.380
maybe two I’d have to look through all of the previous Jaunts all the blogs I’ve

17:27.380 –> 17:31.820
written to make it up how do you pay I’m obviously do you want to is the one

17:31.820 –> 17:36.980
really fucked up big time twice so I’m making super allowances for this one

17:36.980 –> 17:43.660
partly because of the weather to be even three because I’m doing to those two

17:43.660 –> 17:50.900
within six days and I was out fuck this and now this is just not working well

17:50.900 –> 17:54.620
kind of three there was a wood the wood stove not working I took a wood stove and

17:54.620 –> 18:00.340
I was feeding it twigs and I couldn’t even get because like oh you know that’s

18:00.340 –> 18:05.900
be a bit more green let’s use wood that you find on the campsite and walks and

18:05.900 –> 18:11.460
pine cones and pine cones wouldn’t burn for some reason and yeah and it’s like

18:11.460 –> 18:17.300
nope I took a bit of took a bit of kitty litter which is quite useful for these

18:17.300 –> 18:22.340
sort of the pellety stuff that actually works quite well as you can get very

18:22.340 –> 18:29.380
expensive barbecue maple sort of shavings or whatever but actually I’m

18:29.380 –> 18:33.180
probably being probably being gassed by it but you know kitty that sort of long

18:33.180 –> 18:37.060
the only sort of treat to the chemicals you just use key there as a few as a

18:37.060 –> 18:44.100
fuel but yeah no it don’t it just burnt equally so you ended up with kind of

18:44.100 –> 18:48.660
lukewarm water you couldn’t get anything boiled I’ve not tried alcohol stoves

18:48.740 –> 18:53.900
they interest me but it scared me at the same time because of the fact the flame

18:53.900 –> 18:58.060
you could spill the alcohol everywhere and you don’t know it’s on fire because

18:58.060 –> 19:05.740
the flame is invisible that bothers me because I’ve kicked over I’ve kicked

19:05.740 –> 19:11.940
over stoves before now or before now so it happened with the wood stove it’s

19:11.940 –> 19:17.340
happened with the not this stove it’s happened with the gas stove thankfully

19:17.340 –> 19:20.580
not thankfully it was a top fell off rather than the thing on the top fell

19:20.580 –> 19:25.580
off rather than it fell onto the ground while it was lit that would be a bit

19:25.580 –> 19:38.780
scary especially if it’s very dry but yeah I just come back to the sea it’s

19:38.780 –> 19:45.500
soothing and calming and I drink my prosecco and dare anyone to come bother

19:45.500 –> 19:54.500
me luckily or not and I’ll get cold and then walk back up to what line luckily

19:54.500 –> 19:59.540
it’s so it’s actually closer the Wasp campsite is closer than

19:59.540 –> 20:06.540
Cannington probably why Cannington was cheap and also usually available which

20:06.540 –> 20:10.060
is one of the reasons why I liked it it’s quiet there’s a few things but it was

20:10.060 –> 20:16.420
quite quiet there’s a community aspect but it’s like you know friendly and quiet

20:16.420 –> 20:24.900
but unfortunately friendly but quiet campsites can’t survive and that’s sad

20:24.900 –> 20:29.660
because those quiet spaces are getting rarer and rarer it’s all kind of noise

20:29.660 –> 20:38.020
and just hyper commercial and kind of like you know churn rate and everything

20:38.300 –> 20:44.140
and to actually have somewhere where it was just you could literally chill out

20:44.140 –> 20:49.860
because well partly because it’s cold no but you actually know it was no stress

20:49.860 –> 20:55.380
and you know say how those people on socialised or not and it was just kind of

20:55.380 –> 21:01.580
easy and also they had fridges that you could use and you could charge batteries

21:01.580 –> 21:06.460
up you know that that’s kind of thing I wish other campsites would do even

21:06.460 –> 21:10.060
though the woman at the Wasp Farm was being all snooty by saying oh well love

21:10.060 –> 21:17.780
the showers are medieval and all this and that facilities actually I wish other

21:17.780 –> 21:24.820
places would have a communal fridge and a few places of communal freezer which is

21:24.820 –> 21:29.700
useful if you want ice but not so great if you want you know just to keep something

21:29.700 –> 21:33.660
cold like that I had venison burgers last night I actually did manage to find

21:33.660 –> 21:41.380
some but of course I had to buy four and then I felt a bit sick after the first

21:41.380 –> 21:45.620
day so I had to waste the other two because there’s no way they would have

21:45.620 –> 21:51.420
lasted the next day I did think of feeding the venison burgers to the

21:51.420 –> 21:58.540
that bitch doe was being really threatening to everybody with had the

21:58.540 –> 22:04.780
baby who had the form now I would have been revenge I didn’t do that well it was

22:04.780 –> 22:09.940
very tempting anyway I hate to see how long this has been it’s a very long

22:09.940 –> 22:18.140
podcast and I have to put it out as a separate one but it’s yeah I needed to have a drink

22:18.140 –> 22:25.620
I needed to try and unwind to think about what I want to do but I’m in the

22:25.660 –> 22:31.020
mindset of just getting it done and then if I do artwork along the way that’s

22:31.020 –> 22:43.300
brilliant but you know and also the farm is 21 pounds a night for for a site

22:43.300 –> 22:49.300
next to a next to an apple tree it’s going to be a wasp city we’ll see how

22:49.300 –> 23:00.940
that goes I mean they’re friendly enough but that’s a lot more than the 15 so I’m

23:00.940 –> 23:04.980
hoping they’re not on the Durdle Door situation because it’s something that

23:04.980 –> 23:10.300
happens quite a lot with campsites let’s go watch out for hey actually some

23:10.300 –> 23:13.900
useful information is in this podcast they quite often put you under the

23:13.900 –> 23:18.260
trees and then you get shit on my birds and so that’s the irony is like I was

23:18.300 –> 23:25.820
being I had my Mac shit on by one of the birds I was there it was on top of my

23:25.820 –> 23:33.220
backpack and I was in one sense glad that it would they hit the Mac not the

23:33.220 –> 23:44.180
not the backpack but it had to then immediately go and wash it but they

23:44.980 –> 23:49.220
quite often do that because the caravan a lot don’t want their car your

23:49.220 –> 23:55.500
precious cars the caravan is covered in shit so they quite often put the

23:55.500 –> 23:59.700
campers underneath it because they don’t usually make a fuss as much don’t

23:59.700 –> 24:05.660
gripe as much don’t do nothing maybe about it but it’s naughty and that was

24:05.660 –> 24:09.700
the Durdle Door thing they’re trying to be romanticised it was romanticised

24:09.700 –> 24:14.580
it the orchard the Rookery and it’s like yeah what’s Rookery mean you get

24:14.580 –> 24:19.540
working at seven o’clock by lots of cawing and then you get your your tent

24:19.540 –> 24:28.460
covered in shit it’s not good so and also I was being woken up regularly

24:28.460 –> 24:35.700
throughout the night by pelting acorns underneath an old oak tree why are you

24:36.020 –> 24:43.020
pelting acorns at me it was the start I made them I was like I’m not gonna go

24:43.020 –> 24:47.140
anywhere near the apple tree this time I’m not gonna be anywhere near the apple

24:47.140 –> 24:54.940
tree you know that’s that but I can guarantee that when it’s warm wasps

24:54.940 –> 25:00.340
because the rotting apples the cider apples but they haven’t picked them they’re

25:00.340 –> 25:04.340
rotting on the ground so I kicked as many of them away from the tent thinking oh

25:04.660 –> 25:10.180
dear I mean it’s fine if the wasps stay there but wasps being wasps and the fact

25:10.180 –> 25:15.700
they’ve been thrown out on the nest yeah at this sort of time it’s a

25:15.700 –> 25:20.940
real fucking pest they I was having a rosé that at the Clavell’s restaurant I

25:20.940 –> 25:27.860
had a rosé and I was being pestered by a wasp and they started to pester me at

25:27.860 –> 25:32.300
Corfe as well they were fairly hands-off but you know the one I was packing up I

25:32.300 –> 25:37.580
was being swooped on by a wasp which did not help my mood so I was already in a

25:37.580 –> 25:42.380
kind of a weird mood anyway because the packing up just was very exhausting and

25:42.380 –> 25:46.940
the heat more exhausting than usual and that makes sense when people were saying

25:46.940 –> 25:51.140
oh it’s the most humid day and it’s one of the hottest days of the year and kind of

25:51.140 –> 25:56.180
makes more sense but back then I was just like why is this just what you know

25:56.180 –> 25:59.900
what why am I having to do this all the shade you know and but then of course in

25:59.900 –> 26:03.380
the shade you’re looking out going don’t shit on my tent don’t shit on my bed

26:03.380 –> 26:10.460
don’t shit on my backpack don’t shit on me so I think one of the things I need

26:10.460 –> 26:19.540
to get is a pie tin but yeah if you go to a site try and avoid the trees you

26:19.540 –> 26:22.860
might seem like a good idea but then it all is also the danger of obviously a

26:22.860 –> 26:28.540
limb falling on you you know the splits the tree falling on you but you know it’s

26:28.540 –> 26:33.580
like I’ve just had a week of just constantly pelted by acorns including

26:33.580 –> 26:38.540
me hit by a way come once and luckily I never managed to do a hole in one into

26:38.540 –> 26:42.660
my dinner but they did fall onto other things and it was just like you’d hear

26:42.660 –> 26:51.620
them in the middle of the night usually that with moths and flies being buzzing

26:51.620 –> 26:56.540
around inside your tent now I’d open it out and try and and shake it shake the

26:56.540 –> 27:02.420
fly sheet try and get them out the next day but unfortunately you know by the

27:02.420 –> 27:07.700
next day a lot of another lot moved in it was like why are you in here stupid

27:07.700 –> 27:11.340
stupid things it’s in your very stupid cricket who insisted on staying on my

27:11.340 –> 27:16.060
I was like no do your thing elsewhere it was like it was loving the

27:16.060 –> 27:19.460
tent I think it’s like the green it was like it was perfect camouflage for it

27:19.460 –> 27:27.220
was like green green I love this it’s like yeah sorry no oh and I I left my

27:27.220 –> 27:31.420
hat in my tent so when I rolled up my tent I was like where’s my hat and I was

27:31.420 –> 27:38.940
like oh it’s in the tent so I had to have a t-shirt on my head as a hot day which

27:38.940 –> 27:41.620
didn’t help the look

27:42.220 –> 27:46.060
and then when I saw myself in the mirror earlier and in the toilet I was like oh my

27:46.060 –> 27:51.100
god how burned are you you know it could be that I didn’t put enough stuff on

27:51.100 –> 27:54.700
because I was in buses and things but it didn’t feel like I was burning very

27:54.700 –> 28:01.500
much it’s possible but it was possible to have that anyway so I’m gonna end up being

28:01.500 –> 28:08.620
quite brown with a white beard which is not a bad look it’s quite nice look but

28:08.620 –> 28:13.340
yeah not the the weird thing is my arms were over your point over your point

28:13.340 –> 28:22.100
just pink not going brown at all it’s all my neck and my no it’s all my neck

28:22.100 –> 28:37.420
and my nose and my cheeks if we weren’t going to that song but yeah anyway I’ll

28:37.420 –> 28:40.020
speak to you soon

WEBVTT

00:00.000 –> 00:21.600
I’m at the campsite which shall not be named and I’m reading and I’m just looking at the rules

00:21.600 –> 00:33.640
yeah it’s kind of funny because they’ve got a rule about which is a standard rule about the fact

00:33.640 –> 00:45.600
that there shouldn’t be any noise after 10 30 p.m. and nothing before 7 p.m. which does not seem to

00:45.600 –> 00:53.600
refer to them because at 5 in the morning we had you know it was still dark they had somewhat

00:53.600 –> 01:01.840
sounded like some kind of emptying of the bins or emptying the recycling like glass that glass

01:01.840 –> 01:06.160
which is incredibly loud must have woken everyone up on the site and also there was lots of noise

01:06.160 –> 01:11.920
from them as well of course in this farms in the area but they’re actually noise from them in this

01:11.920 –> 01:21.680
morning as well so and the showers are terrible it’s just the one of those places where they’re

01:21.680 –> 01:27.280
like they charge for the showers which I don’t mind if the showers are good and usually the places

01:27.280 –> 01:35.680
that charge for showers make sure it’s decent whereas actually the the quality of the shower and

01:35.680 –> 01:43.040
the warmth is just like not almost non-existent and then they’re charging for it so when I was in

01:43.040 –> 01:52.000
the middle of the night because my eczema was kicking up so I was like oh well maybe it was

01:52.000 –> 01:57.200
because it took 20p to actually even just warm up from cold but I say warm up it’s kind of like

01:57.920 –> 02:03.280
that’s that’s that’s that’s stretching the warm it was lukewarm and then another 20p to

02:03.280 –> 02:09.040
actually have the shower so I was like mmm and then I went and tried it today I just decided oh

02:09.040 –> 02:15.600
I’ll just spend 20p and just check and it didn’t take 20p to warm up but it was didn’t really

02:15.600 –> 02:20.080
warm up at all it was just kind of like this lukewarm which is like really real piss take

02:20.080 –> 02:25.120
if you’re going to charge for showers make sure the showers are decent and these are the places

02:25.120 –> 02:36.080
that charge can vary from 50p to 20p one of the best ones was a Puncknowle the site next to the

02:36.080 –> 02:42.080
the church that was 50p I was like but actually it was a you know it was a luxury shower it was a

02:42.080 –> 02:46.960
nice shower and it was warm or hot and you could just temperature and stuff and it’s like yes

02:47.920 –> 02:54.320
another red flag about here is they slagged off Cannington and you know Cannington apparently

02:54.320 –> 02:59.680
is being sold and not running so that’s why I’m here and yeah I think if if someone runs

03:00.480 –> 03:07.760
any establishment or organisational company if they’re so ready to slag off the competition you

03:07.760 –> 03:14.960
just know uh oh uh oh red flag because they should be a bit more careful it’s not so much about you

03:14.960 –> 03:21.040
know you know if I was saying oh so and so is terrible and they agree with me that’s different

03:21.120 –> 03:28.320
but actually just to offer that information and then be like oh you know that the the um

03:28.960 –> 03:32.880
you know facilities are chaotic and then I try their facilities and at least at least

03:32.880 –> 03:38.800
Cannington had hot showers even if the little contraption for it was like something from pre-war

03:39.440 –> 03:42.160
to put the money in and you think how am I going to get an electric shock from this

03:42.800 –> 03:48.960
um that was a bit scary but at least it was actually a good hot shower um it was a bit

03:48.960 –> 03:53.760
shorter than here but it was actually properly hot and I tried the taps as well thinking well

03:53.760 –> 04:00.960
maybe just the shower was a bit off and the the taps in the in the toilet block in fact weirdly

04:00.960 –> 04:05.440
they’re the stronger flow from the hot water and the cold because I thought it was all around

04:05.440 –> 04:09.760
and after using it for a while I started to go lukewarm and I was like oh I’m actually using

04:09.760 –> 04:15.600
hot water it’s just that’s how slow it is you wouldn’t tell um and it’s the same with the

04:15.600 –> 04:20.960
sinks on the outside for washing and having to come from core for its 15 pounds a night

04:20.960 –> 04:28.960
and hot or super hot showers and super hot water uh versus here which is 21 pounds a

04:28.960 –> 04:35.280
night and everything is extra and they can’t even keep the place quiet in the mornings

04:36.560 –> 04:44.160
and I’m next to an apple tree which is pest central um and so many pests though it’s not

04:44.160 –> 04:49.200
necessarily their fault because they can’t control the pesties as though leaving the

04:49.200 –> 04:56.000
apples to rot on the ground is kind of like basically a bit piss-takey um because that’s

04:56.000 –> 05:02.880
going to always bring all the pests at the yard not sadly not the boys but all the pests

05:02.880 –> 05:11.040
might be boy pests I don’t know um so yeah one long and short I’m going to bail um first time ever

05:11.920 –> 05:21.840
uh I’m getting Durdle Door vibes and it’s not even that close to the coast um I’m gonna I’m supposed

05:21.840 –> 05:26.640
to be I did pay for tonight I’m just going to use that as because they also expected to leave at

05:26.640 –> 05:32.160
10 30 in the morning and she’s like what but you know fair enough but you know I wasn’t going to

05:32.160 –> 05:39.200
make that so I was like well screw it I will head to where I want to be and I should have

05:39.280 –> 05:42.880
I shouldn’t have said two nights and paid for two nights in advance I should have just done one

05:43.520 –> 05:48.160
that’s what you usually do um so I’m going to Budleigh Salterton

05:49.040 –> 05:56.480
salton Budleigh Salterton salton Budleigh Salterton I think salton um which is very close to Branscombebe

05:56.480 –> 06:03.600
where I need to restart my walk to towards Exmouth and Sidmouth and um there’s also the

06:03.680 –> 06:09.440
airfield Branscombebe airfield but apparently still operating until October but you know uh

06:09.440 –> 06:13.680
and I may as well talk the guy around again this might backfire but I can always go try

06:14.320 –> 06:21.200
the airfield this is like a no I can always do a similar thing there’s a few sites around there

06:22.240 –> 06:27.440
but you know I just felt like I need to go from this campsite because it’s got bad vibes

06:27.520 –> 06:31.600
as well I got quite paranoid last night I felt

06:32.160 –> 06:34.880
heard some weird noises which is probably the deer coming to eat the uh

06:35.760 –> 06:39.920
munch the apples but I’m not totally sure it feels quite

06:42.640 –> 06:47.040
I don’t know it feels quite leaky this place you know I’m right on the edge of it and there’s

06:47.040 –> 06:52.480
that apples but there’s sort of trackways through and it feels like it’s you know I don’t know

06:52.720 –> 06:55.840
know how open it is it doesn’t feel secure

06:58.640 –> 07:02.560
you know which is you know finally from wild camping because I expect that but

07:02.560 –> 07:08.240
you know I’m never wild camped I want to but it’s just this bloody thing

07:11.120 –> 07:16.400
this is way too heavy and they killed me yesterday moving it to um just going the

07:17.280 –> 07:22.720
you know three quarters of a mile but it was in the middle of the heat of the day

07:22.720 –> 07:27.520
and I’m going to have probes in this situation today um I’m taking the ibuprofen and we’ll

07:27.520 –> 07:37.680
see how we go it’s going to be ouchy but I don’t you know I feel like I’m revisiting the greatest hits

07:37.680 –> 07:41.680
of the last one and I haven’t really broken your ground even though I have because I’ve

07:42.400 –> 07:48.160
done did the five miles five six miles from Seacombe bottom to Kimmeridge

07:49.200 –> 07:55.040
and that bit you know bits that were good but because I’m staying around the same places it feels

07:55.040 –> 08:01.600
like deja vu and I think that’s part of the problem part of the problem is that I feel like it’s

08:01.920 –> 08:11.200
and also yeah and the new campsite it’s all in for 20 quid between the showers so it’s like

08:11.920 –> 08:15.120
it’s going to save a bit money there but again it’s still a bit more than I’d like to pay because

08:15.120 –> 08:24.720
they call for 15 but it depends what type of place they are more caravani mobile home places are very

08:25.440 –> 08:33.040
um you tend to charge more and weirdly have less facility sometimes um but they’re less

08:33.040 –> 08:40.080
aimed at the backpacker market so but you know we’ll we’ll see hopefully it’s nice I’ve heard

08:40.080 –> 08:45.120
good things about the one at Budleigh Salterton and as I say that’s kind of equidistant between

08:46.560 –> 08:51.200
you know it’s sort of I can walk to Branscombe probably the way but from it to Branscombe

08:51.840 –> 08:59.120
um and vice versa I can walk forward from there for a bit so it’s it’s pretty good location

09:00.960 –> 09:08.160
and part of the reason for for doing this and getting out of Dodge as well

09:09.120 –> 09:17.840
was the bad vibes is that I get locked in here because the buses the buses to

09:18.560 –> 09:28.880
um that part of the world are Axe Valley Transport um and Axe Valley Transport are kind of like a

09:28.880 –> 09:35.120
community type bus service which is brilliant I love them love them dearly but they don’t do

09:35.120 –> 09:41.920
Sundays at all and the Saturday services are very minimal and so although I could travel on a Saturday

09:41.920 –> 09:48.560
and stay here for you know tonight and travel Saturday it’s just yeah there’s this danger that

09:48.560 –> 09:52.640
I might end up having to stay here for the weekend and I really don’t want to spend

09:54.560 –> 10:04.080
another 42 42 quid on a site that has minimal facilities you know that I expect for that sort

10:04.080 –> 10:10.720
of price I expect a little bit more a little bit more than putting me next to an apple tree that’s

10:11.360 –> 10:15.200
what the best is I heard the apples dropping in the night so it’s like oh well there’s you

10:15.200 –> 10:20.320
really at least I had the sense not to put my tent anywhere near the apple tree um

10:22.560 –> 10:27.600
it’s like the acorns except slightly more dangerous they fall on you um so maybe I’ll

10:27.600 –> 10:32.800
invent gravity so yeah it’s kind of weird to do a moving day the day after but this is kind of

10:32.800 –> 10:39.760
how all this gear was intended to be it was intended this is what I’m aiming for and I’m

10:39.760 –> 10:49.280
partly a lazy hiker um is is to you know camp as I go along and I think one I need to travel much

10:49.280 –> 10:56.880
more light is to do that including the art gear no pencil cases no extra pad no extra gear just

10:56.880 –> 11:02.400
minimal like one pad probably not take even daily extra paper which is a bit of a problem because

11:03.200 –> 11:12.000
um I don’t know if it’s an easier way of taking the paper box um or you know easy way of the problem

11:12.000 –> 11:17.520
is is a you know expensive paper needs to be needs to be preserved and it doesn’t come in A4 sizes

11:17.520 –> 11:26.240
so I haven’t found sort of a light simple way of having something that a three or less than A3

11:26.240 –> 11:31.040
I’ve got like a uh they don’t make them anymore a Flying Tiger box plastic box it’s still

11:31.680 –> 11:34.400
is a bit heavy so I need to you know be good to take

11:36.480 –> 11:42.560
some paper for that but maybe I need to chop it into A4 sizes but again I like that’s the

11:42.560 –> 11:48.560
option of having the odd you know doing the odd sort of Mupe bay type piece on decent paper

11:49.600 –> 11:56.160
if if I feel it if the subject deserves it so certainly take less paper I don’t know

11:56.320 –> 12:03.040
know what I do about the paper box because part of the reason why I don’t have a daypack as well

12:03.040 –> 12:08.800
or you know I can’t fit into the daypack because you can’t find a daypack that fits into your

12:08.800 –> 12:13.680
rucksack the a is a very light and b but b there are ones that are very light

12:13.680 –> 12:21.440
there’s still nine of them ones but they’re they don’t fit A3 apart from sort of

12:21.440 –> 12:26.640
laptop bags and they can be very heavy so I need to work out how to transport the paper

12:27.680 –> 12:34.160
in a way that doesn’t doesn’t get it ruined you know because you can’t really this is you can

12:34.160 –> 12:42.240
roll it I suppose it’s all a bit weird so I’m going to be about to pack up the tent and head off

12:43.680 –> 12:48.080
I’m still pissed off about the whole thing about YouTube I’ve not checked the email today

12:49.040 –> 12:54.480
I got a very wanky response from them so what do we have to be patient no we don’t have to be

12:54.480 –> 12:59.600
patient do you’re the ones that suspend my bloody account well yeah they did really

13:00.960 –> 13:04.960
they’ve suspended the account and removed the channel so it’s not a case of just removing

13:04.960 –> 13:09.520
the channel from an existing account I can’t log into that account so the whole thing has been removed

13:10.320 –> 13:18.000
so I’m expecting for the monolith that this is YouTube that’s probably gone for good

13:18.960 –> 13:22.880
so they’ll have to set up something else when I get back and there’ll be lots of videos

13:23.840 –> 13:30.160
a little bit of the videos from that and hope they don’t nuke that but I don’t know I don’t know

13:32.080 –> 13:38.880
you know it’s all just shit really so anyway I’ve got to get I’ve got to pack away

13:39.600 –> 13:44.560
I’ve already started packing away I need to get the tent down I’m not looking forward to rolling the

13:45.760 –> 13:56.160
mat again I have to say I really do need to get some larger sort of silnylon sort of stuff

13:56.160 –> 14:03.760
bags you know it’s something that I haven’t done because hey money but when you’re in a hurry like

14:03.760 –> 14:12.880
today is a fucking nightmare trying to roll up the tent and roll up the the uh like all

14:12.880 –> 14:18.960
like all inquiries self mate self-inflating mats which never do so I think trading standards

14:18.960 –> 14:23.120
should get to those people because they don’t self-inflate they do a bit but not very much

14:23.120 –> 14:29.840
you really have to inflate them and um they always when they put them in the packaging I think they

14:29.840 –> 14:37.520
extract the air um with a machine and so unless you’ve got a pump which is again is more shit to

14:37.520 –> 14:43.840
carry uh when there’s pumps can extract it to do that there’s little pumps and probably do that

14:43.840 –> 14:48.960
um and take it down to a level of where there’s absolutely no air in it but if it’s you know

14:48.960 –> 14:53.920
and that means a little stuff sacky thing it really has to get it back in again I had to do

14:54.000 –> 15:01.440
take several attempts to get the mattress into that and also yesterday the farrago of leaving the hat

15:03.040 –> 15:07.280
hanging in the tent and rolling at the tent and thinking why is the tent why they’re not going

15:07.280 –> 15:13.920
into the soft sack um though it’s difficult the best of times but again that is the classic thing

15:13.920 –> 15:19.120
they want to show that oh look it’s tiny it’s tiny it’s like yeah but what happens when you want to

15:19.120 –> 15:25.280
actually roll it up again it doesn’t go back in or what it does but it takes a lot of work

15:26.400 –> 15:30.080
to do so so anyway I better get on and pack up

15:30.080 –> 15:53.680
I’m just walking from the new campsite in um Salcombe Regis well it’s Regis I even saw a Bear

15:53.840 –> 16:01.520
Regis which is why one of them is called Bere Regis but it’s about B-E-R-E I thought I found

16:01.520 –> 16:10.640
that very funny uh I’m just walking down past the Norman Lockyer planetarium and observatory

16:10.640 –> 16:18.880
which is a 19th century observatory it has some very famous telescopes unfortunately it’s where

16:18.880 –> 16:24.080
these things where you they only do talks and invite people in for tours but I couldn’t it wasn’t

16:25.120 –> 16:32.480
there wasn’t anything there are things in in September but they’re later in the month

16:34.400 –> 16:41.920
and uh yeah this it’s kind of interestingly very muggy day but kind of cloudy so it’s quite

16:42.720 –> 16:47.840
fairly chill so I’m liking that because when I spent the tent up it was boiling and it was sunny

16:47.920 –> 16:53.440
so I’m quite liking the overcast colder weather I’m just in a place called the bayou so that is an

16:53.440 –> 17:05.120
amazing um willow uh overhanging a large sort of waterfall weir which I suspect was probably

17:06.720 –> 17:14.080
part of the uh hunter’s lodge hotel hunter’s moon or one of the big houses around here

17:14.960 –> 17:17.760
there’s lots of requests I mean I wandered past a place

17:18.880 –> 17:28.640
which was uh owned by the woodlands trust and of course Salcombe Hill is national trust and

17:29.680 –> 17:33.200
I’d forgotten it was like oh yes woodland trust

17:37.600 –> 17:40.160
but what’s more important to me

17:40.960 –> 17:44.320
is apparently

17:46.160 –> 17:50.640
the Swanage is that way I don’t know what the Swanage is but we have a lot of

17:52.240 –> 17:59.200
a devon motorway it’s really tiny feeling the I’m not going back on the on the road track

18:00.080 –> 18:07.360
I would call it a track with tarmac but it’s this tiny tiny thing uh in places but it was down

18:08.320 –> 18:13.440
at Salcombe Hill which is steep very steep look at how it’s going down it I’m going to take the bus back

18:14.720 –> 18:26.880
I I didn’t realise so I kind of missed that there’s a bus called the 9A which I remember from last time

18:27.440 –> 18:33.040
I’d forgotten it you know it was like oh yes the 9A there’s a stagecoats bus which goes back

18:34.000 –> 18:38.640
and that sort of opens up this area so actually I could have traveled on a

18:41.360 –> 18:44.560
on Saturday the stage where I was but I think I made the right call

18:45.440 –> 18:50.880
new places much better of course I only booked in for one night just to test them

18:52.480 –> 18:59.600
but looking at it um it’s got some of those places it’s almost like a they’ve just put a

19:00.240 –> 19:06.800
a campsite into a large football pitch it’s all incredibly flat um some people are who

19:08.160 –> 19:13.680
it doesn’t have character it doesn’t have wildlife I’m like I can live with that for a while after

19:13.680 –> 19:22.480
having lots of character full places with lots of character for wildlife and insects and seemingly

19:22.480 –> 19:28.560
everybody wanting to get into my tent and acorns falling on me and wasps and apples and

19:29.280 –> 19:36.800
yeah I’m quite happy with boring and there’s actually water on the actual pitch which is

19:36.800 –> 19:46.000
like luxury of course there’s a quid less than the the one that should not be mained I did name it

19:46.000 –> 19:51.520
in the previous forecast I won’t name it again because they don’t deserve the attention

19:51.760 –> 19:59.200
um I worked out why the showers were so shit um it’s because there was solar paneled but they

19:59.200 –> 20:07.040
hadn’t switched the solar panels on because I was like oh it’s solar oh well then when I tried it

20:07.920 –> 20:14.160
at 9 p.m when the sun had been shining pretty heavily the last couple of hours it was still

20:14.160 –> 20:19.280
lukewarm and then I found on the on there’s like two of them so I went to the other shower

20:19.920 –> 20:27.040
maybe the main tap shower block is better no still lukewarm and there’s a panel meter panel for the

20:27.600 –> 20:36.560
wasn’t showing any um wattage being generated even though it was suddenly outside so I think

20:36.560 –> 20:46.800
they got it switched off um you know and it’s I’m going to weird to be in somewhere that’s like

20:47.760 –> 20:54.000
got stuff in cinemas and restaurants and pavements I was like my god pavements

20:55.040 –> 21:00.400
I haven’t seen him for such a long time pavements um and obviously Sidmouth’s

21:01.200 –> 21:10.000
like Exmouth’s more of an old school tourist town and much more of a conurbation

21:10.960 –> 21:11.840
and pizza

21:14.720 –> 21:20.800
not exactly London but much more con much more urbanized you’d have trouble doing the planetarium

21:23.600 –> 21:26.800
today which is why obviously

21:28.880 –> 21:35.840
you uh they go to Gran Canaria or space or wherever but allegedly there was a waitrose so

21:35.920 –> 21:42.240
it’s probably closed anywhere in the waitrose is closed quite early in this neck of the wards

21:42.240 –> 21:47.840
I mean the Bridport is six so I have a nasty feeling it might be closed but I just thought I’d

21:47.840 –> 21:57.600
walk down to have a look I found the post office whoa um and see the layer of the land

21:58.480 –> 22:09.520
and yeah it’s weirdly civilized um but yeah there’s there’s the the previous place

22:10.480 –> 22:15.120
they were running solar showers and there’s sirens and the other in the other

22:15.600 –> 22:16.100
the

22:19.120 –> 22:25.280
god on 8 a.m in the Tesco Express well the line we just had at Tesco Express but

22:27.280 –> 22:32.960
yeah but yeah the the previous place

22:35.360 –> 22:43.280
had terrible terrible showers and I said I don’t I think the problem it was a sign saying

22:43.760 –> 22:51.200
don’t uh you know I’ll put my post it up I need to anonymize it but there’s the

22:52.480 –> 22:57.760
quite next to the caution hot water it’s like really but yes please that would be nice a bit

22:57.760 –> 23:04.880
euphemistic um and there’s in low season uh please be patient because you’re hot you’re hot you’re

23:04.880 –> 23:09.840
hot water will take a while and it’s like there’s over there for like two minutes going I’m wasting

23:09.840 –> 23:13.680
so much water doing this you know at that point

23:16.880 –> 23:18.000
at that point being green

23:22.320 –> 23:31.200
this is obviously the rush hour in uh Sidmouth um of course most things are closed apart from

23:31.200 –> 23:38.640
a Co-Op there’s a Co-Op Tesco Express and a group they are doing a line um especially right next to each

23:38.640 –> 23:51.920
uh almost but yeah it’s it’s obviously they just hadn’t got it switched on or something it’s a bit

23:51.920 –> 24:02.400
weird but anyway relying on solar in this climate and the British weather is really strange

24:02.400 –> 24:05.600
that you know

24:11.520 –> 24:11.840
um

24:14.400 –> 24:22.640
you know it’s really weird to depend on that kind of thing when you the UK doesn’t have that kind

24:22.640 –> 24:32.000
of sunshine if you’re in Australia or America or somewhere you know that has a lot of sun Africa

24:32.000 –> 24:39.120
it makes loads of sense but not not in with the British weather it’s a bit strange maybe if you

24:39.120 –> 24:52.160
mix it with solar um wind or or or sea power sea power so it’s a bit empty there um oh that’s

24:52.160 –> 25:02.880
Thomas told me but yeah it’s you know it’s a bit strange and I think if you’re wasting water

25:03.840 –> 25:11.760
to try and get the hot water because it’s so shit and so slow that’s kind of a bit of

25:11.760 –> 25:18.000
no goal because water needs needs not to be wasted so it’s kind of yeah I took a lot about these

25:18.720 –> 25:31.680
um another kind of machine um I took a lot about that kind of thing in my blogging over at tjbaker.co

25:31.680 –> 25:37.440
uk and this is kind of supposed to be I might actually rebrand if the youtube thing has gone

25:38.240 –> 25:44.480
I might rebrand as green man because that kind of links into some of my artworks but also links into

25:45.040 –> 25:52.960
what I’m trying to do here which is ethical tourism uh green tourism as much as possible

25:52.960 –> 25:57.520
and there’s no just thing as green tourism it doesn’t exist you the most greenest tourism to

25:57.520 –> 26:04.800
stay at home and preferably die and don’t breathe again um you know that that so you know as green

26:04.800 –> 26:19.120
as possible and uh you know uh the I was afraid isn’t it that’s why all the idiots in the

26:19.920 –> 26:23.600
GTIs are out but yes the

26:32.080 –> 26:38.640
because this is what they do you look at all different or you’re diverse people shout at you

26:38.640 –> 26:49.200
and cars just showing how neanderthal they are a bit like the oh the the pub last night and that

26:49.200 –> 26:56.480
was just weird I tweeted about it saying if you’re going to talk about sports ball even when other

26:56.480 –> 27:00.880
people have tried to cut not just me I’ve tried to change the conversation because another guy

27:00.880 –> 27:09.840
there was obviously was not interested in talking about rugby or darts oh you have an art shop

27:09.840 –> 27:20.720
aha there’s an art shop called south west art in Sidmouth it has uh Clarefontaine Winsor and

27:20.720 –> 27:32.000
Newton she’s all a little Golden watercolour Winsor and newton Liquitex obviously they’re closed I mean

27:32.000 –> 27:38.000
it’s you know it’s after five o’clock but you know that’s useful to know um

27:42.880 –> 27:48.560
I’ve also totally lost my thread now discovering the art shop oh excitement

27:49.520 –> 27:52.560
they’re so rare in this area but

27:55.360 –> 28:03.360
yeah I’m good I don’t want to ramble on but it is yeah I think the green thing is important

28:05.200 –> 28:13.120
and the ethical thing is important um and it’s the focus of the channel anyway and you know the

28:13.200 –> 28:20.160
travel is part of it but it’s all about going to new places that without you know trying to use

28:20.160 –> 28:34.480
for transport trying to not ruin the place and uh do you know drive everywhere and

28:35.520 –> 28:39.920
try and avoid that impact which seems to be not popular I have to say

28:40.720 –> 28:46.640
not places that shim you’re driving and make it difficult for you to arrive on public transport

28:46.640 –> 28:54.960
like even the place here which was good that’s where I was going with the ice creams from gelato

28:55.600 –> 28:59.120
I already had a chocolate milkshake earlier in the day it’s a special present for the

28:59.120 –> 29:06.560
horribleness of having two days in a row moving something I never do but I’m glad I have

29:07.520 –> 29:12.400
but yeah the amount of places who say oh you know you just just it’s five minutes of by car I don’t

29:12.400 –> 29:18.160
drive oh we need to get here by next time well I hope oh well but I can’t guarantee it because

29:19.280 –> 29:28.400
oh excellent they have refill points that’s brilliant proper water refill points that is

29:29.360 –> 29:31.680
so needed in so many places I don’t have it

29:34.640 –> 29:36.960
yeah it is

29:41.200 –> 29:44.880
you know it’s all going to change I mean this is this is the thing

29:46.240 –> 29:52.320
you know everything has to change you can’t go on it before and it’s going to be very painful

29:52.320 –> 29:56.240
for a lot of people because it’s so ingrained this idea that you’ve got to drive everywhere

29:56.880 –> 30:01.840
especially in these areas but it’s going to have to change because it seems going to be

30:02.480 –> 30:05.920
changed voluntarily or changed

30:11.360 –> 30:23.280
for them oh wow there’s a like a pop-up Fish & Chips place in the market that’s nice

30:26.800 –> 30:33.200
yes you know it it has to change there’s a lot of people who are in denial at the moment

30:34.560 –> 30:43.200
and they’re thinking that oh we’re voting for people who attack work politics and attack green

30:43.200 –> 30:48.480
things it’s going to change it it just doesn’t just hastens the end it hastens the point where

30:48.480 –> 30:54.320
either this planet becomes unlivable or they get forced to not be able to drive anywhere because

30:54.320 –> 30:58.160
literally they cannot afford it I think it’s like do you want the easy option

30:59.360 –> 31:02.160
of changing under your own steam or do you want to be forced to

31:03.040 –> 31:08.320
that and you’ve got the head in the sand about that and it’s you know even down to

31:11.600 –> 31:16.400
another Fish & Chip place as well I had Fish & Chips last night I do not want more

31:16.400 –> 31:24.720
Fish & Chips but um that was my first I think that was my first proper Fish &

31:24.720 –> 31:28.160
Chips the holidays was my second so

31:36.160 –> 31:36.800
you know and it’s

31:41.200 –> 31:44.480
it’s uh now by the sea front

31:47.360 –> 31:52.480
but yeah it’s going to have to change it has to change and a lot of people

31:54.160 –> 32:01.280
don’t want it to change but it will change it doesn’t matter what they do you can’t change

32:03.280 –> 32:07.680
or you can but we’ve seen getting to the point where you can’t change

32:08.560 –> 32:12.800
that’s a human climate change and it’s going to keep

32:14.800 –> 32:19.840
it’s going to keep getting worse and it will get a better over a very long time

32:21.040 –> 32:24.720
and the longer people have that yeah so anyway

32:26.000 –> 32:32.720
but I’m just glad to be in a ironically in a less green space because there is a point of where

32:33.440 –> 32:38.240
I think I mean my friend Paige would love all the creepy crawlies but there is a point of

32:38.240 –> 32:42.400
where you like actually I do actually want to be into a little bit but

32:44.560 –> 32:51.200
you know even down to the campsites they’ve got to have and that this campsite does have

32:51.200 –> 32:58.800
some wild spaces it’s not completely one big football field

33:03.200 –> 33:08.240
and I suspect the the best thing is somewhere in between because you you don’t want the

33:08.240 –> 33:15.600
ecologically dead spaces also you don’t really want wasps in your tent either so it’s kind of a

33:15.680 –> 33:27.840
ego existence problem so anyway from a rather muggy but cool people are swimming though it’s not that

33:27.840 –> 33:32.160
cold uh so this is Tim out

WEBVTT

00:00.000 –> 00:18.760
Hello from Dunscombe Cliffs, it’s Saturday and I first walked in several days because

00:18.760 –> 00:27.480
of all of the moving drama knocked out Thursday and Friday. I did actually get Friday to

00:27.480 –> 00:41.240
go down as a previous forecast, walk down to Sidcombe, Sidcombe, Sidford,

00:41.240 –> 00:49.040
Ford, you know, they’ll have similar names as they are, Ax, Axe, Mouth, Minster, whatever.

00:49.040 –> 00:55.160
Oh and he falls down at another rabbit hole, ouch, I’ve done that on the other foot today.

00:55.160 –> 01:01.880
So yeah, I’m walking to Branscombe, Branscombe, Branscombe, no more kums, Ilfracombe are in here,

01:01.880 –> 01:09.000
Branscombe, not Branscombe, I’m walking to a type of pickle, a leaf type pickle, yeah, walking

01:09.000 –> 01:16.680
to Branscombe and maybe back, I don’t know, apparently every single day, well not every

01:16.680 –> 01:20.520
single day, but pretty much nearly every single day has been like, it’s the hottest day of

01:20.520 –> 01:27.400
the day, apparently it’s 33 degrees today, and it’s like it was very hot making just

01:27.400 –> 01:33.600
to go up the cliff, the Branscombe cliff, I wasn’t expecting that because it’s, as usual

01:33.600 –> 01:41.480
I was like, oh it’s fairly flat and shaded, oh we have two paths, whatever, I assume it’s

01:41.480 –> 01:47.960
this way, I could be wrong, oh actually there is a little, yeah there’s a lake horn, thank

01:48.040 –> 01:56.920
you, I took a picture of a very helpful sign earlier that just said Public Footpath Three

01:56.920 –> 02:03.960
Waves, and it’s like, oh somebody’s coming, Public Footpath Three Waves, and it’s like,

02:03.960 –> 02:07.400
thanks, I didn’t know there was a place called Public Footpath, I didn’t know it was three

02:07.400 –> 02:19.960
places, so anyway, I might stop in a second, there’s a few people behind me, hopefully they’re

02:19.960 –> 02:30.840
going to the beach, and not the coastal path, okay Weston Mouth, quarter of a meh, oh good,

02:30.920 –> 02:37.000
so nearly a Weston Mouth, I’m hoping there’s, as usual, I mean I did take a litre and a half

02:37.000 –> 02:46.920
of water, but I’m starting to worry, so if there’s gaps in this, it’s because I’m trying to get down

02:46.920 –> 02:55.560
a tricky in quotes path, but once again a bit like a stream bed, and it’s

02:56.520 –> 03:02.040
pot marked and like the place where I did my knee in, there’s a big fuck off drop on one side, so

03:02.040 –> 03:06.840
if you’ve gone for a mix, if it misses it, it’s just like, I’m going to go down again,

03:07.800 –> 03:16.600
draw the knot, and to say I threatened to twist my ankles twice today, just by random stuff,

03:17.560 –> 03:22.920
catching my eye, like gates being weird and whatever, and of course the next step is happens

03:23.000 –> 03:30.920
to be into a rabbit hole, you’re like, ah, so I’m having to do less looking at the scenery and more

03:31.720 –> 03:38.600
looking at my feet, which is kind of annoying, I’ve just done a mass post of all my stuff because

03:39.320 –> 03:46.520
low battery couldn’t, you know, I can’t do solar when I’m traveling, and also no connection at the

03:46.520 –> 03:50.760
campsite, well there was for a while and it just conked out last night when the rain came,

03:50.760 –> 03:55.960
and it rained last night as well, so my tent was wet when I left, I would hopefully it would dry

03:57.400 –> 04:04.600
today, and thankfully I managed to use a nick on other benches, some of the posh pictures have

04:04.600 –> 04:10.360
these little benches by them, picnic benches, but someone left, I left theirs exposed, so I

04:11.080 –> 04:20.680
had my breakfast on it, and that was noise, and yeah, so I mean the good thing about this walk

04:20.680 –> 04:29.480
is there is some shade, there are, you know, it’s sort of, there are bits on the top of the coast

04:29.480 –> 04:36.120
with connection, which is why, you know, quite often I’m posting my social media from the top

04:36.120 –> 04:43.240
of a cliff because that’s the only place you can really get the 4G or any G, and then it dips into

04:43.240 –> 04:51.560
valleys, should be river valleys, but the rivers are not always accessible, um, depending on where

04:51.560 –> 04:59.720
and when, where, you know, season, obviously, later in the year in spring there have been more, there

04:59.720 –> 05:05.400
probably will be rivers, but this, you know, it’s, it’s very hot and it’s been a fairly dry summer,

05:05.400 –> 05:14.440
most of the stream beds are muddy puddles at best, I’m hoping Weston Mouth has some water,

05:14.440 –> 05:18.600
because of course I brought my full water filter, because I know I can get water at Branscombe,

05:19.240 –> 05:25.160
but that is depending on national trust’s opening hours with their tea rooms, and that can be

05:25.160 –> 05:30.280
a bit like little old ladies going, oh I’m feeling ill today, and it just cancels it, you know,

05:30.280 –> 05:37.640
you can’t, there’s no, I don’t think there’s a toilet there with water that’s open 24 hours, so

05:38.680 –> 05:45.720
in my scale of whether something has water, I never count the, oh you can get a refill at a tea

05:45.720 –> 05:51.560
room, because that is just absolutely useless, because what happens is you get there at four or

05:51.560 –> 05:57.240
five and found they closed at four, and you’re like, I’m really thirsty, I’s love a water,

05:58.120 –> 06:04.280
rush there, or you know, or you find out they’ve decided to close earlier whatever,

06:04.280 –> 06:11.880
or it’s Swiddhins day or some shit, so when I say does not have water, there are some places that

06:11.880 –> 06:17.880
like pubs we could get water, but generally that’s for actual people who actually walk rather than

06:17.880 –> 06:24.520
day walk, who walk long distances, you can’t depend on whether you get there at five p.m. and

06:25.160 –> 06:35.160
pub closes at five p.m. or some shit, so you know, it’s all right for the beach to go through,

06:35.880 –> 06:42.280
leave the beaches early to get to the pub before it closes, the rest of us are going to go through

06:42.280 –> 06:48.760
hiking, can’t, you know, it’s not really dependable, and also you don’t really want to hike three miles

06:48.760 –> 06:55.080
in land to get some water unless it’s destiny, unless you’re desperate, so the coast generally

06:55.080 –> 07:01.720
doesn’t have much, Sidmouth well, what he does, I saw it, I saw the little watery fill things,

07:01.720 –> 07:06.520
I talked about them in the last broadcast, so that’s good, even though they kind of went

07:06.520 –> 07:14.360
the high street, but probably stuff along the beach as well, so I’m rushing to get away from

07:15.240 –> 07:24.760
noisy people behind me, and it’s always a way to start up a gas and it’s like there’s either cars,

07:25.720 –> 07:35.400
people, or earlier there was a biplane that flew over me, and it’s like, yes, so much for the 15

07:35.400 –> 07:43.160
minutes of quiet, definition, some places in this area, I do have that, this place does not,

07:45.160 –> 07:55.800
this place is not a 15 minutes of a little quiet place at all, or maybe at night,

07:56.680 –> 08:06.680
in some places, not at the previous campsite, so yeah, we’ll see how we get on, oh dear,

08:06.760 –> 08:13.560
I’ve just seen the walk up, yeah, this is not as flat as I thought it was going to be,

08:15.400 –> 08:18.360
yes, that’s why I made sure there was bail points and made sure there was

08:19.000 –> 08:25.480
probably possibly water on the ground, but if I can filter some water here that’ll be great,

08:25.480 –> 08:36.600
anyway, I’ll speak to you soon.

08:39.320 –> 08:47.800
Ah, sitting in the shade, um, halfway up, oh, half is halfway up, well maybe more than halfway up,

08:47.880 –> 08:56.920
but I don’t know, the side of a hill, a very steep hill, after Weston Mouth,

08:58.200 –> 09:01.800
and it’s, I don’t mean 33 degrees, certainly my temperature up to 30 degrees,

09:02.680 –> 09:06.680
and I’ve just done about three times just walking this hill alone, partly because it’s

09:06.680 –> 09:13.240
fucking steps, I mean, if it was the normal, maybe not if it was a scrabble, but if it was a

09:13.240 –> 09:17.880
normal patty thing, I’d probably be right, but steps are just quite hard on these, and it’s

09:17.880 –> 09:21.560
the always most of space, and just the wrong point, we can’t really step from one to the other,

09:21.560 –> 09:27.960
always too high or too small, um, so, you know, it’s volunteers that put these in, but they do it

09:27.960 –> 09:34.520
very badly, um, and also quite often you’ve got that ledgy thing, which sometimes is stone,

09:34.520 –> 09:40.680
or sometimes it’s wood, and that quite often it gets eroded, or the bit on being gets lower,

09:40.680 –> 09:45.160
so you can’t just step on that, because you’re, it’s too thin for that, and it’s too rocky,

09:45.160 –> 09:49.800
and, and you know, so you kind of have to kind of bunny step between things.

09:51.480 –> 09:58.120
Yeah, it’s so hot, um, but luckily I got some water, because not because anybody has got any

09:58.120 –> 10:05.000
form of water fountain, or water, or even toilets anywhere around here at all, of course, no, no,

10:05.960 –> 10:12.120
but, um, at Weston Mouth there’s a river, well it’s just for sort of stream, but quite a big

10:12.120 –> 10:19.960
stream running in, and it’s a sort of rushing, sort of waterfall type affair, which means it’s,

10:19.960 –> 10:26.840
it’s pretty good water, I mean you’re risking it in this area with pesticides, and sort of cow

10:26.840 –> 10:35.000
runoff and stuff, you know, but I bunged a oasis tab in there, and just had, had some now.

10:35.720 –> 10:44.120
I did try to filter, I have to say, um, I am a bit underwhelmed by the MSR trail shot,

10:44.120 –> 10:48.600
because it’s just, I don’t know if it’s a bit bunged up or something, maybe from when I was

10:48.600 –> 10:55.320
doing the puddle stuff, um, maybe need to try and properly wash it through, when I’m back at campsite,

10:55.320 –> 11:03.640
but I did open up that filtering bit at the end, and look at, you know, rinse it in the river,

11:03.640 –> 11:09.880
but not, obviously not the bit before you drink, but the bit, the pre-filter it’s called, the thing

11:09.880 –> 11:17.640
that falls off, if you’re not careful, um, nearly lost it before now, but yeah, now you get like a

11:17.640 –> 11:22.360
dribble out of it, you know, they show you pictures like it’s sort of doing, you know, loads of water,

11:22.360 –> 11:25.800
and it was, you know, the perfect example, which is a running stream, which you should, you know,

11:25.800 –> 11:29.560
it’s, it’s not really much sediment there, it’s a bit in the bottom, but it’s not like it’s some

11:29.560 –> 11:35.400
puddle, and it was like drip, drip, drip, drip, I was like, oh fuck sake, so I just, as, as I had an

11:35.400 –> 11:40.760
empty bottle anyway, I just took the bottle in and then bunged a, uh, a purification tab in there,

11:40.760 –> 11:47.640
which is actually a bit better, because that kind of gets rid of a few more things than the filter,

11:47.640 –> 11:53.000
filters can do it and handle viruses, whereas the purification tabs will handle, I think will,

11:53.000 –> 11:58.120
I think will handle viruses, I think they handle more things anyway, uh, what they can’t handle is

11:59.160 –> 12:04.840
toxins, like mine shafts runoff, um, you have to be very careful when you’re in sort of mining

12:04.840 –> 12:09.800
country about streams, um, what they look like, and if they’ve got any deposits in them, and if

12:09.800 –> 12:15.240
they’re going to, looking a bit too greeny or yellowy, you know, tinty, you know, sort of,

12:15.240 –> 12:23.960
that sort of thing, and also be careful about, uh, um, farming, because pesticides and stuff can run

12:23.960 –> 12:30.440
into the rivers, but given, given the terrible state of the normal rivers from water companies,

12:30.440 –> 12:36.200
it’s probably purer than that shit, so yeah, I just got some water, so I got about, well, I did have

12:36.200 –> 12:41.640
a liter and a half, uh, I just filled up to that, uh, well, I had two liters at one point, and I,

12:41.640 –> 12:46.760
you know, only to drink half of it, uh, thinking, ah, you know, and then this hot thing, the hot

12:46.760 –> 12:52.120
hill has happened, and I’m like, hmm, maybe that wasn’t such a good idea, but I was so, I needed,

12:52.120 –> 12:57.080
my sandwiches are so dry, that’s Schar bread, the Schar gluten-free bread, it’s so dry,

12:58.120 –> 13:04.680
I, I, I pretty much almost dunked it in, in, in olive oil as well, but you know, it’s, you know,

13:04.680 –> 13:09.800
loads of olive oil on it, intentionally, because like, it’s so fucking dry, it’s like eating, eating

13:09.800 –> 13:17.880
sort of sandpaper and cardboard, and, uh, luckily I got some better rolls, but you know,

13:17.880 –> 13:22.360
Schar brioches are really good, but they, they’re normal bread, which is all I could get in

13:23.000 –> 13:28.920
Corfe, and I did not fancy another Swanage strip, Sewage, as we call it, Sewage,

13:29.480 –> 13:37.320
didn’t want to go back into Sewage again, um, so, but, but we’ve got a massive Tesco’s, I mean,

13:37.320 –> 13:42.360
the humongous Tesco goes in Seton, which is the biggest kind of supermarket in this whole area,

13:43.640 –> 13:48.280
and there’s quite a lot in Sidford, and Sidmouth, Sidford being the sort of north of Sidmouth,

13:48.280 –> 13:52.040
which is what I was saying last night about, oh, I want to get the waiters, that was too far away,

13:52.040 –> 13:59.080
um, I ended up at this weird, um, food festival, I went like, earlier, I stumbled into the,

13:59.080 –> 14:03.960
the one church open day, and the local church at Salcombe Regis, um, so I was speaking to them

14:03.960 –> 14:08.520
about the church, you know, asking a few questions, but it was like last night, I stumbled into this

14:08.520 –> 14:13.640
sort of food, this is food, Purbeck food festival, or East Devon, not Purbeck, uh, which is far from

14:13.640 –> 14:19.880
Purbeck, East Devon food festival, and, uh, they had really nice pizzas, and they had a gluten-free

14:19.880 –> 14:23.560
base, it wasn’t totally gluten-free, it was a little bit indigestion, I think they were right

14:23.560 –> 14:28.680
on that, but, uh, but it was, you know, gluten-free enough, it did take a really long time though,

14:28.680 –> 14:31.640
they said half an hour, and it was like four, five minutes, I was worried about missing my boss,

14:31.720 –> 14:37.000
so I had to scamper, and I missed, that’s why I missed getting loads of things, I should have

14:37.000 –> 14:40.840
just gone to the shop in that period, but I was just so tired, I was like, oh, I’m just gonna sit down

14:40.840 –> 14:46.520
and try to have this, uh, cocktail, as you do, um, because they had cocktails and those things,

14:46.520 –> 14:50.120
it was like a little thing, because I was wondering around thinking, where can it food from, it’s not

14:50.120 –> 14:53.800
fish and chips, because that’s the problem, you know, some might solve coming up, fish and chips,

14:53.800 –> 14:57.000
fish and chips, fish and chips, fish and chips, same with Lyme, fish and chips, fish and chips,

14:57.080 –> 15:03.160
which is like, I don’t want any fucking fish and chips, I’ve had too many this holiday, you know,

15:03.160 –> 15:10.520
I’ve had at least three this holiday, and it’s what has been just over a week, um, that’s a lot

15:10.520 –> 15:20.040
of fish and chips, um, would be a week and a half, you know, so I kind of, you know, as my dad always

15:20.040 –> 15:26.360
used to say, um, you know, you end up looking chip shaped by the end of the whole day, I will, um,

15:26.360 –> 15:30.120
because look, that’s the only thing that’s reliably sort of not gluten-free, uh, sort of,

15:30.120 –> 15:34.840
sort of not gluten-free, I mean, it’s not 100%, it’s not celiac gluten-free, but it’s,

15:34.840 –> 15:39.160
there’s bit in the, um, there’s a bit in the battering, but it’s, it’s, it’s kind of the

15:39.160 –> 15:44.120
most reliable things to get, so, I don’t have to do my food after my lunch, why am I doing that?

15:44.120 –> 15:52.440
Um, so yes, um, it’s about two miles or so to Branscombe , um, I don’t know if I can get there before

15:52.520 –> 15:58.520
the two-room closes or whatever the hell it’s doing, um, but I’ve got water, so if I come back

15:58.520 –> 16:03.560
this way, I don’t want to do because these, I’ll be down the hills, it’s weird, if it wasn’t so

16:03.560 –> 16:08.680
swelteringly hot, this would not be fun, this would, this would be fine, I mean, this is not

16:09.240 –> 16:15.400
Bindon hill, this is not, not even Golden Cap level, it’s, it’s pretty noddy, um, but I do not

16:15.400 –> 16:21.880
do well in heat, and the ninth thing is tomorrow, it’s all kind of muddy and rainy and, and cool,

16:22.440 –> 16:26.760
and sort of, you know, it starts out, I think it’s thunderstorms in the morning, allegedly, uh,

16:26.760 –> 16:34.040
though, yeah, it could be different down here, and then it’s, it’s all kind of, um, clears up in,

16:34.040 –> 16:41.080
you know, it’s a late morning for lunchtime, and then becomes all sort of cool and sort of

16:41.080 –> 16:45.960
sunny a bit, but mostly cloudy, perfect, absolutely perfect, apart from maybe not the

16:46.680 –> 16:53.000
wet paths and wet grass, um, from the rain, from the possible thunderstorm, but

16:54.280 –> 17:00.280
that’s perfect weather for me, walking, I can walk fucking miles, tens of miles in cool weather,

17:00.920 –> 17:06.680
I just do not do well in heat, and at the moment my thoughts are hurting a bit, but their, their

17:06.680 –> 17:11.880
legs are generally okay because they’re not done much walking the past few days, um, staggering

17:11.960 –> 17:17.080
around with a fucking heavy backpack, yes, but nothing, nothing, not going up and down these

17:17.080 –> 17:23.480
things, but it’s like, oh, I’m sitting here thinking, oh, can I even make it because it’s just so, so

17:23.480 –> 17:31.640
hot, um, I have to all go back down again and, and somehow bail to Dunscombe, because there’s

17:31.640 –> 17:36.280
lots of people at Western Beach have also come from Dunscombe, which is a car park at Dunscombe,

17:36.280 –> 17:39.240
so they just, they just come down the car park, you can tell by the way they’re dressed and the

17:39.240 –> 17:45.480
way they’ve got that little tiny bottles of water, it’s like, oh, bless, it’s like, oh, you’re a beach,

17:45.480 –> 17:50.440
you’re a beach goer, whereas the actual people who, there are some people who are doing

17:50.440 –> 17:54.760
the coastal paths and they’re like, sweating like crazy like me, and that’s like, uh, you know,

17:55.320 –> 18:00.920
I’ve got buckets of water with them, because it’s like, yeah, it’s a crazy day to do this,

18:01.720 –> 18:07.400
but you know, I don’t like hanging around the campsite, you know, I’d have to campsite a bit

18:07.400 –> 18:13.720
later, eleven, which is annoying, but I had shit to do, and the funny thing is, is that I found the

18:13.720 –> 18:18.120
utility room today, I’m going to wash my clothes, because I’ve got something I’d like to have,

18:18.840 –> 18:23.400
and now everyone goes, oh, you should wander around one pair of shorts, but they get sweaty

18:23.400 –> 18:29.320
and horrible, and then what happens is you get more sweat rashes from them, the people who say that

18:29.320 –> 18:35.160
are people who don’t actually do long term hiking, as they say they do, but they don’t, because

18:35.720 –> 18:40.680
having done stuff like that, even just not hiking, what happens is eventually,

18:41.880 –> 18:51.320
it gets so dirty that you, it gets pretty disgusting, but also it helps aid the sweat

18:51.320 –> 18:56.120
rashes and the infections that sweat rashes, so you know, it’s, you know, where it rubs,

18:56.120 –> 18:59.720
it gets rubbing again, and then it sort of, you know, gets kind of lots of skin flakes,

18:59.960 –> 19:05.800
I won’t go into details, it’s not very nice, it’s not very nice, and so you do want to have

19:06.520 –> 19:14.200
some times, either washing facilities, or even if you just wash something in the sink, afternoon,

19:18.200 –> 19:25.480
but yeah, even if you just sort of wash it in the sink or whatever, you need some way of doing

19:25.480 –> 19:31.960
that at some point, or stream or anything, because not to stream where people want to drink the water,

19:31.960 –> 19:40.120
please, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s not a kind of like, oh, why do you have to, you just want,

19:40.120 –> 19:48.600
you just want home comfort, it’s like socks as well, it’s important, because your socks stop

19:48.600 –> 19:58.680
working properly, your socks stop, fresh pair of socks will help, you know, wick, wick the sweat

19:58.680 –> 20:02.680
away, and will help, yeah, you can tell the car park is not far away, can you?

20:05.640 –> 20:12.840
Do we have the coastal path and car lines going? Yeah, the fresh pair will wick the sweat away,

20:12.840 –> 20:18.040
but what happens is that after, after a few days or a week, you know, the same pair will start to

20:18.120 –> 20:25.960
carbon carb body, and you’ll get more issues with your feet, because it will just not be breathing

20:25.960 –> 20:31.800
properly, so these hardcore people go, oh, let’s take one pair of clothes, they’re obviously going

20:31.800 –> 20:36.200
for like two days, that’s three days max, if you’re going for longer trips, you definitely

20:36.200 –> 20:40.920
need spare socks, even if it’s just one pair, so you can what get the other pair washed,

20:40.920 –> 20:45.880
and wear one pair, or have washed one pair, you know, sink or whatever somewhere,

20:45.880 –> 20:50.440
and then string it up by the tent, you know, so I always say take a spare pair of everything,

20:50.440 –> 20:56.600
because not only is like, you know, one trouser rip away from something being quite, being completely

20:56.600 –> 21:03.080
fucked, not in a good way, you know, and these, these are a bit, I have to watch out for these,

21:03.080 –> 21:11.080
because they’re starting to split, you know, there, but I’ve got the spare pair if that happens,

21:11.640 –> 21:19.640
and I can just sort of tape them together to get me home, but there’s nothing worse than that rip,

21:19.640 –> 21:25.880
I’ve had it happen at work once, so yeah, it’s, yeah, those people are just people,

21:25.880 –> 21:30.600
they just don’t actually really hike, and you get a lot of them on YouTube, and they’re like

21:30.600 –> 21:34.120
posing in somewhere that’s quite dramatic, but they obviously drove though,

21:35.080 –> 21:41.560
and they do only do like the weekend hike, so weekend hikers, and yeah, there’s nothing wrong

21:41.560 –> 21:45.320
with that, and the wrong weekend hiking, but don’t start saying, telling people that are going off

21:45.320 –> 21:49.800
into through hiking, and what they call through hiking, which you don’t know is basically where

21:49.800 –> 21:55.000
you just keep going through, you know, you take all your shit with you, which I don’t do, I should

21:55.000 –> 22:00.920
do, but my gear is just way too heavy, I mean there’s no way, I’ll die trying to do it, trying to

22:00.920 –> 22:06.680
lift my full tent and everything up this route today would just kill me, it’s killing me already,

22:06.680 –> 22:13.320
and I’ve only got some hard gear in there, so oh yes, that’s the helicopter rescue to save me,

22:13.320 –> 22:18.120
no it’s not, there might be, there might be the biplane actually, the biplane,

22:19.560 –> 22:23.480
obviously someone’s doing, I expect someone’s, a bit like a Spitfire I saw, someone’s probably

22:23.480 –> 22:26.920
doing biplane tours, and I suspect someone’s probably doing helicopter tours,

22:27.800 –> 22:33.400
because I can’t imagine that, or maybe that’s just the air travel in Devon,

22:34.920 –> 22:40.760
yes, we don’t, oh I can’t do a Dorset with that accent, oh Devon accent, but you know, we don’t,

22:43.400 –> 22:45.640
that’s your, that’s your British Airways,

22:45.640 –> 22:57.800
motions to a biplane, yeah that’s pretty Devon, so yeah, I’ll speak to you soon.
