    Tell Harriet it was nice seeing her and little Lola on the recent videos. It’s been too long. Those hills provide breathtaking views. Thanks Richard!

      Sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
      I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.

    Shared on to my page Hillside retreat. So guests can have more info! My place sits on this hill, where I lived offgrid. Now it's a hoilday let for walkers and couples who want to get away! Great video.

    What a lovely walk - reminds me of my a level geography trip where we stayed in Shrewsbury in a youth hostel and despite it being Easter, it snowed! At least the weather was better for you when you walked up!

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is fabulous in the sunshine even on a cold winter's day.

    Thank you for showing this walk. What a beautiful day you had for it! Although I've been up Caer Caradoc many times I've never walked up and over from the north. The way I've done it is has always been from Church Stretton (as I lived there) and around the back (with a slight detour up to the top) and then down to the Royal Oak pub in the village of Cardington for lunch and back around the north end of Caer Caradoc, across the A49 and back through All Stretton.
    I heard about Caratacus hiding in the cave when in primary school but hadn't, I don't think, ever seen it. However it did look very familiar!

    Just visited Wikipedia for more information about Caer Caradoc and the surrounding area. That was quite a walk with amazing views of the surrounding countryside!

    I love Caer caradoc! Where abouts did you start your route? This looks like a different route to the one I take.

    What a lovely place. Thumbs up for the longer vids too, 10 mins just isn't enough, i know it's more work but 15/20 min vids are much better :)

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Dave - I think it all depends on the walk/location. 10 minutes can be awfully hard to fill sometimes.

    Went to the boarding school in Little Stretton in the early 1960's next to the black and white thatched church.A beautiful area for 'school' walks up Caer Caradoc etc. and many happy memories.Shame you do not live in Shropshire as it is one of the most beautiful counties.Hi Lola and Harriet

    Wow! What a long straight up hike! But the views were breathtaking!!! Boy, little Lola must have been one pooped dog after that walk. That was one mighty big hill for her little legs. Thanks for the history lesson on a part of England I had never heard before! Enjoyed it as always👍

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was last up on top of there in about 1974 and I lost my Sister's Kite when the string snapped and it hurtled off in the direction of the A49. I lived in Church Stretton for a while and my Mother still lives in the area up on the side of the Brown Clee. Lovely area to live if you can afford it.

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow! It must have been a challenge to hold to a kite up on that hill!

    one of those runners was probably my cousin Ben. He is training for his 48k run around jersey.

    Thank you - beautiful place - where did you set out from on this walk up Caradoc..

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is a little layby at the Shrewsbury end of the climb.

    • @garyhosty
      @garyhosty 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks for replying - I went for a very decent walk in that area the other day, lovely.

  • @robertbarrett778

    The route that these two (and a bit) took is quite testing in places. To have one hand for the mic' and the other for the camera isnt the best idea. Anything remotely testing, like this, deserves three point contact minimum; just in case of a slip or worse.
    I was fortunate to live at the base of the Caradoc with unspoilt south facing views of it.Seeing it change, between seasons, you would never tire of.
    The Caradoc (Welsh boys name for amiable and beloved too) is well worth the effort.
    There are several routes, so choose well.
    Happy walking to You All.

    How far would the walk be from leaving your car to the Summit. Hope you can answer. Thanks. 😆

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question. I would think it was a couple of miles, but it is climbing and some of it slow because of the boulders you clamber over.

    @jenniferevans6334 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lovely, how far are you away from the road?

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can park at one end of the hill

  • @fastsetinthewest
    @fastsetinthewest 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I keep watching. At about the 14:32 mark, I thought you were going to break out singing, "Yesterday" by the Beatles. A lot of geocahes pay big money. You might have missed out. A good one! Cheerio. Eaglegards...

    The real Caer Caradoc is in South Wales, Mynydd y Gaer, Glamorgan.

    • @RichardVobes

    • @MonikaEscobar1965
      @MonikaEscobar1965 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Caer Caradoc, King Caradoc´s reign was Mynnyd y Gaer in South Wales. @@RichardVobes

    You need to welshify your pronounciation more for Caer Caradog, like Kai-rr Kar-add-og (rather than Care Car-a-dock) Intonation of syllables is different.
