  • Marek Larwood goes on a walk from Cardiff Castle to Newport following the route of the Wales Coastal Path. There is a big diversion at the start of the route. Information on the walk can be found on this website: www.walescoastpath.gov.uk/
    You can also get a GPS route of the individual stages on the excellent Saturday Walker's Club site: www.walkingclub.org.uk/long-d...
    If you enjoyed this video, and want to help me make more, it would be really great if you joined the Cool Dudes Walking Club. You can join on TH-cam Channel’s main page and click join to pay a monthly amount via youtube.

    I also test out the Olympus OMD EM5 Mark III as a vlogging camera with the 9-18 F4.0-5.6 wide lens. I filmed this video at 4K 25p. I used the natural profile, there is a slight crop as I used MIS-1 (which is the digital stabilisation and sensor stabilisation). The footage is not graded just straight out of the box.
    Camera Stuff (if you buy any stuff and use these links I get a kickback but you don't get charged anything).
