Hi, we're Chris and Sharon and we love getting out and about.
We are certainly not experts when it comes to walking, but we love to grab a map and a walking route and try our best to get from A to B; but we often go via C & D as well! But hey, life's a journey, not a destination, so we take everything in our stride and try to have fun, every step of the way.
We also love all sorts of holidays; from Caravans to Cruises, 'Disney World' to 'Round the World'.
We have lots of plans and hope you will join us along the way.

We really enjoyed your video, we've been looking at trying some small ship cruising, and it was nice to see a proper vlog rather than travel agent style! Thank you!
Hi Rich and Suz, many thanks for your kind comments. We've enjoyed the small cruises that we've done; it's as much about what you don't get (crowds, queues etc) as what you do get. We see that you have done a lot of cruise lines that we haven't, so we look forward to watching your videos. All the best, Chris and Sharon
I had this video pop up in my recommendations, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I've subscribed to your channel. I live in the United States but am a total Brit wannabe!
Hi Ann, Thanks very much for your kind comments and glad that you enjoyed the video. We have lots of places in the UK that we've not been to yet, so hope you enjoy watching our upcoming trips, as much as we'll hopefully enjoy taking them. Many thanks and all the best, Chris and Sharon.
❤❤❤❤ this island
Njoy!!!
Thanks, we had a great time
Enjoy your stay in Malaysia
Thanks, we really enjoyed our visit
Very nice, hopefully both of you have enjoyed your Malaysia trips 👍🤞👍
Thanks, we had a brilliant time and really enjoyed our day trips. Many thanks for watching.
Lovely video thank you! Quarr Abbey is of family interest to me as one of my ancestors (i believe great grandfather was a bricklayer when they built the "new" Abbey (1912 approx). Very brave to include the highly controversial floating bridge (always called the chain ferry in my family!)
Oh wow, you must be really proud of your grandfather, as Quarr Abbey is such a beautiful building. As for the chain ferry, we thought we'd take the opportunity to film it whilst we could. Infact I think it broke down very soon after our crossing and we took the small boat for the rest of our stay! Thanks for watching and for your kind comments. All the best, Chris and Sharon.
I’m coming on one of them! Most likely to the Caribbean.❤❤❤
Brilliant! I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. All the best, Chris and Sharon
Brilliant video, glad to see you both living life to the fullest! I aspire to be like you soon. Cheers from Singapore!
Thanks very much for your kind comments, glad you enjoyed the video. All the best, Chris and Sharon
Fantastic stuff! Better than the professional video supplied by the ship. A great momento - thanks.
Thanks Michael, I loved putting it together, so glad you enjoyed it. All the best and happy travels!
I really enjoyed this with my hot chocolate debs xx ☕......
Thanks Debs. We never considered ourselves to be cozy viewing!
@@aroundaboutchrissharon my pleasure you have a lovely channel debs xx
The house in your thumbnail (also shown at time 0.49) used to be a mill operated by the tide. My younger brother and I explored inside before it was converted, ( got in by the large hole by the waterwheel, probably around 1956 ish.) We lived in St Helens starting around the time the golf couse on the Duver shut and became National trust property, lovely place to grow up but you can NEVER GO BACK AND EXPECT THE SAME.
Hi John, many thanks for the information about the old mill. Always nice to learn more about the buildings and locations that we pass by, and often take for granted. We're particularly pleased that it helped to bring back some of those boyhood memories...! Best wishes, Chris and Sharon
Well done! Heading out on the Moon I May - Venice to Rome! I’m so excited!
Thanks Rach, I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time. We're excited for you! All the best, Chris and Sharon
Very nice video! Headed off on a similar cruise on Viking next month so very interested in the itinerary. Would love to try Silverseas in the future, it looked lovely! I’ve subscribed 😊
Hi Kathy, thanks for your kind comment and thanks for subscribing. We've not done Viking, but it's on our list! Hope you have a lovely time. All the best, Chris and Sharon
Lovely video enjoyed watching it.. I just luv silversea and have enjoyed over 100 plus days with them ..( have done over 60 cruises with many of the mainstream lines ) but would never go back now having experienced silversea... Once again enjoyed watching... happy crusing 🥂
Hi Patricia, thank you very much for your nice comments, and glad you enjoyed our video. We completely understand why you keep going back to Silversea. We have already booked another one! Many thanks, Chris and Sharon
May I ask What’s the temperature in June?
Hi Adit, thanks for your question. According to official sources, the temperature averages between 46F (8C) and 54F (12C) however when we visited we encountered hotter and colder temperatures as we travelled around the country. Therefore my advice would be to be prepared for all weather! Hope that helps.
Appley Tower not Appleby!
Oh no, sorry about that Iain. I'll pay more attention in future. Thanks for letting me know.
Nice work with great view. I like this kind of view. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
well done very good
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it
