Glad you like it - used a lot of your footage!

An early video shoot coming out this Saturday.

Firstly, thank you so much for watching. Stingers and brambles are part & parcel of the walkers lot when you wear shorts - 😂. I agree it is a stunning part of the world, cherish what is on your own doorstep! ATB.

I walked right by it without spotting it i think. Ive checked photos and it must have been completely overgrown. Heading for one down at fFax Bourton in Somerset soon.

Thanks for watching! Yes, Zeppelin references do pop up in my videos. Saw them 2975 Earl’s Court. Unforgettably brilliant.

@@stevebennett8996 How fortunate you were.

Hi Janet. Firstly, thank you for watching. I thought that I had replied to you? Obviously not, so sorry about that. Yes, I did have a daps bag. Home made, by mum, of course. Drawstring and black cloth if i recall correctly. When is your latest video out? ATB - Steve the Ponytailed Pensioner!

Yes I did - a black drawstring canvas bag. Home made by mum of course. Thank you for watching!

I need a PA

Thank you Pete. off camping real soon ... in October!

Thank you.

@@spleeeen4it - thank you and thank you also for watching

shapely

Yep I was quite pleased with that gag

Legendary spring-line village - good pub too

thank you

Not a chance!

I am sure it is not everybody. It is a thing. People you meet tend to avoid eye contact and not engage. A shame and it is not liken that outside of the metropolis. I do try and got blanked. I wont give up!

@@stevebennett8996 yeah very much aware of it. Just need to leave London to realise people are actually friendly elsewhere eh…

@@benbennett82 - majority of walkers in most places tend to chat readily and as a minimum acknowledge that you exist

Cracking spot

Brilliant

Thank you for your kind words. I started make videos of my walks for my family and circulating them using YT. I lover making them and it is a bonus when someone watches. I am loading one up to YT once a week, on a Saturday. ATB Mark and thank you again.

Knapped too

Thanks for watching. Been trying to up my film making and editing skills since I did this. I still rant from time-to-time. Royals and private property nonsense incense me still. Don't get me started on the feudal system aka Duchy of Cornwall. ATB to you.

I am delighted you watched it. Funnily enough I re-watched the film recently. Truly groundbreaking and genre-creating. So thank you for your kind comment. I’ve just done a couple of walks on the South Downs. I might put something out on the Devils Dyke. Thanks again.

@@stevebennett8996 it really was unique at its time! Aside from nature I’m really into horror stuff and the amount of things that happened during that film was crazy! Looking forward to more content bud

@@MarkStedman-c9d - welcome to a very select community 😂😂😂

@@MarkStedman-c9d - also send me your dads link for his Wiltshire walks please?

Thank you for watching our video. You can tell from our faces how much we loved the whole experience. We too have seen them twice this summer. Last time in the pouring rain but we were six rows from the front! I have never seen anyone give so much joy. A legend and if we can we shall go again. But you will never forget what you have seen and if you can maybe make a playlist of all the songs they performed. Brings it all back. ATB. Steve & Emma.

Thanks

Did a Bristol walk this weekend just gone. That was very much on-grid.

Sheer drop

Thank you for watching.

The more I get into it the more fun walking in the Wye becomes. I had a blast in an area near Mordiford earlier this week. I was able, at long last, to spend some time watching your videos. They are great and very informative. ATB and once again, thank you fort watching.

Yes. One of the best things about solo walking is having yourself as a companion. Thoughts just wash in and out, bit like the ebb and flow of the tide. I like that a lot.

I love the word gnarly Mark! Yes i cam over the top. "I took a wrong turn and just kept going", Bruce Springsteen a line from 'Hungry Heart'. Do you know it? We heard him and band perform it recently up at a very wet Stadium of Light in Sunderland. Brilliant. Gamallt looks wild and remote. lovely. My original plan was just to walk the Wye Valley Way. My plan has changed and broadened. I want to take lots of stuff off the main LDP. Hoping to do this by the end of 2024. i will need to stay up in mid-Wales to do this justice.

@@stevebennett8996 Yeah, it explains things aptly. Not heard the song but sure it is good. Re-Gamallt I never mentioned it was remote - a wrong turn from Gilfach off the Wye Valley walk means a sharp right turn onto Gamallt. Is that what you did? All the best with your plans - sounds exciting.

Thanks for watching. I've done three walks now in the area to the north of Chepstow. Easy drive from home near Bristol. Spent some time in these parts during school days but not been back enough in recent years. The Angidy Valley was spell-binding as was walking along parts of Offa's Dyke. I shall revisit both with my currently incapacitated walking buddy. My plan is to do the whole river from source to mouth over the rest of this year. i shall have to stay up in mid-Wales at some point and use it as a hub. My wild camping days are well and truly over. if truth be told they never really started. 🤣

@@stevebennett8996 A pleasure to watch mate. Interesting plans. Yes, the Angidy is a nice little river and valley. As for the Wye it's a fantastic hike - did it in 2020. Have a good one.

haha - treeless up there!

Yep and I am looking forward to returning and doing more walking in this region. Geologically top-drawer stuff too.
