Were you in our group?

@@racheltaylor6578 my walking pals used many. I didn’t need to as my boots were perfect for my feet. Thanks for stopping by my channel and taking the time to comment.

Thank you so much. Have you been or are planning to go?

@@misanthropicsophist my daughters ran into this problem a couple of time and subsequently had to have slow runs. Tip: keep the brakes on at the top so the distance between you and the guy in from is extended, this worked for me.

@@malbig2344 just a bit of fun. But thank you for stopping by my channel, hopefully you can find something of interest.

There’s free spaces about 400mtrs away.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer or remove your number plates. On private land, it's not against the law.

We saw a biker do this on Tuesday. Though I always thought motorcycles parked for free in most places due to having nowhere to secure a ticket, I could be wrong.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer Naa. I'm also a biker. They do it because they are sick of 20mph zones and getting flashed. Freedom.

@TimmyBobinson I’ve got a CBF 1000, what are you riding?

@@lukewebster9228 ha ha! Not on this channel!

@@jayscoob1 you’ll know for next time. Did you get flat seas and good weather? Thanks for stopping by my channel.

@@JimBob-iz2by this is my new lifelong hobby, if it turns into more that’s great but it’s keeping me focused. Thanks for stopping by my channel.

He had a condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, passed away at 17 in 2021. He created this channel for me not long before he died. He’s keeping me well from beyond the grave.

“My advice for anyone doing the West Highland way, do it with friends.

@@nicrenze7081 thank you, that’s an ace idea. 💡

Thanks Andy. She’s been an absolute godsend to me and the wife since we lost our son. We’re saving each other.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost your son, that’s awful but I’m happy you’re finding strength in each other. I look forward to catching up on your content, sorry again

@YorkshiremanOutdoors thank you buddy.

They’re brilliant aren’t they. She loves pulling her weight on our trips. Thanks for stopping by my channel.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer No worries you’re very welcome!

Two weeks time I have a Chelan clone, but slightly bigger, video going out. it may be what you need. Thanks for the comment. To answer…yes and no, for Stillwater yes, for sea I’d go for the 155.

Absolutely no. They don’t come close. The Chelan is a winner all day long.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer Thanks for that, I'm deciding what to go for, it will be my first one so want to get it right 👍🏻

I live mine, fantastic craft.

Thanks 👍 it’s one of my favourites. You from up North?

@TheOptimisticAdventurer yeah from wigan, we've been down that area in the caravan, we stopped at river dart country park, one of the best caravan holidays we've been on, awesome for the kids & big kids to😁

@WildBorkysadventures I’m just watching one of your vids, you’re cracking me up mate! Love the energy!

@TheOptimisticAdventurer nice one👍, i love it, only started camping again 2 years ago, everytime it brings me bk to camping in woods as a kid n getting out with cubs & scouts, feel like in re living it all over again😁

Thanks so much. We’re really getting there. She’s been my angel.

Thanks a lot! When the next one from you coming?

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer When the insanity has calmed down at work 😂 Got a new kayak, so might get a short vid fairly soon buddy.

She’s been an absolute blessing. Thanks Ervin.

lol, see the other comment, I think that sounds like the real answer. X

This sounds a lot fairer and realistic. Thanks.

Wilson love these trips!

This is what I want to do as often as possible. Though my back has been out since this trip so a tad more training and strengthening before the next one. He loved it, that’s what matters.

Awesome, yes that beer garden is amazing. I’m off to North Wales next week, I’ll keep my eye out for cool places.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer up there couple of weeks ago in camper, had a free night at the Sun Trevor pub at Llangollen, great food and right on the canal.

@@lesliejury1019 thanks for the tip, I’ll see how close it is to where we’re staying.

No, but that is on my list to visit this summer.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer Loe Bar Porthleven is a must 👍

You’re very welcome. I’ll definitely be going back with the kayak and a snorkel.

Get subscribed for more to come. A fair few good ones in my older uploads too.

@@PCongeries hey there! Good to see you again. Yes, 2.6k now, you’ve been here for a long time, really appreciate that. I don’t think my small following is going to influence the masses to go down, but if a few get to experience this beach as I did, then that will do. Hope the week is treating you well.

@@mattsmyname77 yes, well spotted! Realised after the upload. Thanks for stopping by. Have you done it yourself? Greatness today for the trip by the looks of it. I am heading out 30 miles west of this area today .

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer have a good day. I have done Durdle Door twice, one time solo. But couldn’t film it like you have. Thanks again.

Have a great time! You’ll love it.

@@StephenReid-hk8hs how did you get on?

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer had a fantastic time, met loads of really nice people, something I always wanted to do, thanks 👍

Thanks for the tip. I went there around Christmas time but the sea was so rough. Definitely one for this summer (when it arrives!) thanks for the sub!

Let me know how you get on, there’s lots of similar chairs. Some good, some terrible. Thanks for stopping by my channel.

Great addition to the comments. Thank you. Mine has survived nearly 2 years without a puncture…yet.

I’m taking it out in the sea mid July but the waves at the mouth of the estuary were pretty lumpy. Something to consider: these boats are primarily made for the US creek, fishing market. While they will perform well for other uses (like I showed in the video), they will be susceptible to offshore and side winds in coastal areas. Would I use the be in the sea? Yes, because I make sure I know (as much as one can) the weather conditions I’ll be paddling in and I’d make sure my second paddler was proficient at managing any issues. It’s a great boat for what it’s made to do, if ocean paddling is your thing then I’d get a Sea Kayak or similar. Hope that helps.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer thank you

Exactly what we did. Was a beautiful paddle. Will put the full trip up soon.

Such a lovely bunch of people I met along the way. But yes, some strong accents.

Indeed, they’re having huge problems down there at the moment.

It’s been an absolute pleasure. She’s amazing.

I subscribed to your channel, looks great!

No, quite a bit further south.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer oh. Sorry!

@@gorVR. no apologies needed, this one is at Towan Sands.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer oh right! I need to get the name right 😂

I went out with a friend who was trying the 28” wide one and even though he’s a very accomplished paddler (one of the top guys in the UK) he found it a bit wobbly. I’ll ask if I can take one out to test next weekend.

I did yes. Though I’ve lost 4 drones to the sea and rivers now so when I get a new one my family have banned me from flying over water.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer Are the drones not smart enough to land on a moving board? I assume you're using the DJI drones.

@@raczyk yes DJI but landing on a moving platform has to be done manually. I’ve never lost a drone that way, flying in no satellite environments (valleys and woodland) and one flying through a sea arch in high winds, the one other time was a long story but my fault as well. ‘You takes the risks you pay the price’ as the old saying goes. I keep promising myself I will learn but I don’t.

@@TheOptimisticAdventurer I know how did you make it. This summer we drown one that came close than allowed to girls. An owner did not appeared though )

@sc0or did it hit you?

It’s going to take some beating! Thanks for stopping by my channel.

Same, the recent trend of “wild swimming” (otherwise known as…swimming 😂) has meant a few pretty names have popped up for such pools. Thanks for stopping by.

Parkingjis still the same! Early bird catches the worm. Glad you enjoyed the video, my editing had come on a bit since this one but thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment.

I will make sure your voice is heard my friend!

Thats awesome to know, thanks for the feedback. Have you seen the vid of the finished camper? Middle seat footings were a real pain to remove, big crow bar to pry them out but the seats come out as one, very heavy unit. Luckily my mate is an even bigger unit so it was no issue.
