Genetic Lineage ❤

Having lived in Beeding for many years, I have to say what a great video. I've often wondered about the meaning of Small Dole. The word dole as in giving small amounts of money predates the village, but can also mean a boundary marker or landmark.

nice

I’m here because I was looking at my family tree and found out I SM a descendant of both King John and Matilda, from her son Reginald and one of King John’s daughters known as Joan of Wales

You did well.

I lived in Hedgeways Littleworth Lane, Littleworth, outside of Partridge Green, for six years with my English husband. Congratulations, greetings from Australia.

Loved this! I spent my teens in Worthing and Highdown Hill (plus surrounding downland further North) was pretty much my second home! Looking at your drone footage I could pick out several memorable campsites including sleeping in amongst all the fallen Ilex Oak trees in the hillfort just after the storm in 87 and my first ever self-organised campout in the edge of the woods, a couple of years earlier. I often tell my kids about a moonlit night when I walked up and over Highdown hill on my own, to sleep under the stars and having to summon all my courage to walk right past the Miller's tomb, which looks quite a bit more menacing when you're 15, it's dark and you're on yer todd :-) Thanks!

Well done. Hope you're enjoying living in Sussex. I grew up in Newhaven , East Sussex.

Welcome to the club. 👌

Welcome to the UK, and to beautiful Sussex. No need to worry about being a subject of the king, the term British Subject was dropped from UK passports some decades ago, we are now simply British Citizens.

I grew up in Sussex. I live abroad now, but still miss the Sussex coast and countryside. I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice that you've moved from Washington state, to Washington Sussex (almost).

Congratulations sir. Welcome aboard😊

Bloody well old boy. Glad you like our little islands.

Congratulations on fulfilling your ambition to become a British Citizen. I hope you continue to enjoy living here in the UK - it seems with your 'connections' to our Royal Family - 14th x cousins is impressive to me - you were always meant to live here. My daughter discovered recently that your President Lincoln and my direct family line shared a Grandfather so they were first cousins - notice that I did not include our other first cousin - beloved and adored famous Actor and then murderous villain of President Lincoln - John Wilkes-Booth. Two cousins gone just like that. I enjoyed listening to your commentary and will look forward to watching your Channel again and learning of your adventures.. Take care.

I used to run up the Ader river from Shoreham beach many many years ago. I now live in Thailand. The river and the foot path look the same as when I went to school in Steyning Grammar school during the mid 1970s.

Congratulations and welcome. As a lifelong resident of West Sussex I am very happy to welcome you. Happy New Year to your good self and your lady wife.

Congratulations 🍾 and a Very Happy New Year! 🎈

Welcome aboard Sir.

Congratulations! I have dear friends in Kent and Surrey, so I visit the UK frequently. Even thought of moving there, but life intervened.

Congratulations! As a born and bred Sussex man, whose ancestors have lived there since at least 1560, I will always think of it as home, even though work has taken me to other parts of England over the years.

You are very welcome to our country. Congratulations, and wishing you and your wife a Happy New Year.

Hey Yank! Thanks for loving Sussex... but seriously? WTF? Her Maj Liz cares no more you as a septic as she did me as a tax paying working class English man! Sod Liz her Maj & CharlieBoy... At least you had the intelligence to get out of the US before Trump gets in again! 😅🤣

And I notice that you've hit 1,000 subscribers! Maybe I should unsubscribe and re-subscribe to make you nervous! 😆

Brilliant news. My wife is Russian. We married in 2015 when I was 62. We live in Sussex. We went through the whole rigmarole including her having to prove her English (a PhD in English Literature didn’t count). I wish you many happy years together.

A really good documentary of a fascinating natural feature of Sussex, I would like to think that an Englishman has taken similar trouble to inform the public about an American landmark. Many thanks.

Suggest you do a video on Pagham harbour and its surrounds-eg Sidlesham

Great stuff. Thankyou. A visit to Highdown Hill is now on my list. I used to live in Highdown Road near Seven Dials, Brighton. Roads adjoining Highdown Rd are called: Chanctonbury, Cissbury, Wolstonbury and Caburn. I can see the actual Chanctonbury Ring from where I live now!

The mouth of the river Ouse was originally met the channel via seaford before it got redirected to Newhaven

Thank you for a very informative and entertaining video. I know Burpham well and you have done a great job!

Use to be a cable car across the dyke.

Walked to Ashurst and back a couple of times recently, up the river from my new home in Bramber and really love the village. I do feel you could have been a bit more honest! about the Fountain which imho is a truly truly wonderful arguably perfect village pub (as long as you avoid the busy Sunday lunch time). I realise that this comment is in danger of attracting some of your viewers to The Fountain. Good for the landlord, bad for old gits like me who are allergic to crowds larger than about 6 people 😅.

i can see my house from the drone shots haha, fantastic video!

Wot a video, so well done , bless ya, lived here all my life 55 of em. And taken a yank to learn this , fair cop fella. Thank you

I've lived in Worthing for over 50 years and Highdown Hill has always been a favourite. There were many more trees at the top until the Great Storm of 1987. Thank you for this...

Haha, I'm just getting ready to go there. Yes Tor and Meldon Reservoir are waiting!

Thankyou for this and all your videos - they're always interesting & enjoyable, and I'm always happy when another is added to your collection. You clearly go out of your way to research the featured areas - this one's no exception. Especially appreciated are the maps as they enable us to look up and perhaps explore for ourselves the routes you've taken. Looking forward to seeing many more of your adventures! Clive

And Avon means river in old English, so the Hampshire Avon is the Hampshire river. The Arun has a run of Sea Trout, which is fairly rare in the UK. Glad to know you live near me, as I live in Lancing. I have also walked the Chichester canal many times.

No smuggling history? Not like those dodgy Hastonians...

Very interesting indeed thank you. I’ve padded up the Adur as a young lad. Very powerful current in it.

Great shots. I always worry about flying over water, I know DJI can insure for that but I don’t have it currently.

Excellent video. You should take it up professionally😃. I visited Winchelsea with my wife last year and I was fanscinated by the many incredible cellars in the town that were used for storage (probably illegal), dating from around 1290AD. There are 33 that still exist and another 17 that are known about. There are also bookable tours of the cellars which I thoroughly recommend. Thanks for the video.

Fascinating. Your vocal style and intonation are particularly engaging. Splendid content and graphics. Congratulations.

A great video. Thank you.

Love it!

Don't forget the River Mole which rises in West Sussex but is mostly in Surrey. If you do make a video about or containing the Rother in West Sussex drop the "Western" bit of the name as locals only say "the Rother". Another fact, the Arun is the second fastest flowing river in England after the Severn.

Not the only yanker in Sussex

Why no mention of the West Sussex Rother.?

A shingle beach with a pool behind it is a chesil beach which is what old winchelsea town was built on. The storm (a hurricane) laid waist to broomhill and winchelsea town the town was rebuilt inland and was invaded and ransacked by the french and Dutch.

Fascinating video, i learnt some interesting history today, thank you 😊
