Great video Marek, i always feel like a trespasser when i'm on a golf course foot path, and the greens keepers won't say hello, (sorry if this is a double post, the other disappeared)
Great video, I know the area well as I was born in Hertford just down the road and grew up in Hoddesdon. I also have bought similar footwear to deal with Plantar Fasciitis (both feet), and can recommend Hoka as an amazing brand for relief (Vanquish, Bondi, Speedgoat, they even do Waterproof ones now).
Oh man.Looked forward to this when the advanced notice popped up. Lived not far from there (albeit in a less monied area) until late last year & then moved to Scotland (where it rains a lot) so feeling very homesick for the breaks in winter weather and access to the English countryside (daft as there’s plenty of countryside up here. Just laid out differently) albeit blighted by the noise of the A1M & the like. Never did visit G B Shaw’s House. Shameful. There’s a relaxing walk not far away from there,partly along the Hertfordshire way, starting at Harpenden station across to St Albans, same sort of distance I think. Enjoyed that. Good info re walking gear as a fellow plantar f. sufferer. And streeeeetch.
Will look into that Harpenden walk. Thanks dude. As for plantar f treatment I also use this Black Roll Mini to take everywhere with me after a mate recommended it. It is light and amazing after trying other rollers: amzn.to/2HtepRn
The cure for plantar fasciitis is to mostly walk on your toes for 2 week and do lots yoga stretches on your legs and hips. It'll reset your walking stride to young mode.
Hello,ill be going to view a new build flat called principle point that runs along bridge road and I want to ask you what you think of welwyn garden city as I've see some reviews saying it's chavy and trouble with teenagers causing trouble in the town.As you luve in the area I'd like your thoughts of WGC.
Absolutely loved that - you went partly along a regular cycle route I do around there (you can't really go anywhere in this area without encountering a massive road, sadly) ... I'm definitely going to have to visit the pub! The statue is called "The Dollop Of Great Status"
Cool shoes for a cool dude. These walking videos just keep getting better leading to the choice: watch now for instant gratification or save for a treat...watch it now!
Fucking lovely stuff, Marek. May I suggest you check out the bogs on your next walk? You never know, some people might be into shitting in public lavatories.
Hi Commissioner :D I've just had a lovely relaxing time rewatching all of your walking videos :D I'd call that sculpture "Kampos Knifr" aka "Stabby Sea Monster" Are you related to Ebenezer Howard? I used to loathe sheep. Frequently travelled to and from Hereford when I was a nipper and got proper stroppy at how many there were. Pretty sure that's the first time I ever swore. I reckon my parents had a right laugh hearing me shouting "Bastard Fluffers!" during my frequent tantrums. Stay Cool :D
I'm not a fan of crossing golf courses either. I've had a few golfers (I'd like to use another word...) stop and stare at me as if I've ruined their day. What I really dislike is the lack of waymarking across so many of them... There's one near Bath that greets you with 'please keep to the footpath' signs. But once you're through the gate, there's not a hint as to the way forward. I found my way out eventually - I think I hopped over a wall and without being shouted at. Those look like barefoot style shoes. They're regarded as being better for our feet in many ways. I'm fed up of 'non-toe shaped' footwear and will always be looking for a wider toe box in the future. Glad to hear you're overcoming plantar fasciitis. I have similar problems with my right foot. I'd always wondered how green Welwyn Garden City might be... But it looks more like a town?!
Yes, I've found that most of the golf courses you have to walk through are really bad at marking out the paths, I think they don't want you to be there so they ignore marking the paths in the hope walkers will disappear. As for the Altra trainers, the wide toe box makes such a massive difference. It is incredible. They are really expensive but definitely worth it. I think my plantar fasciitis stemmed from having too narrow shoes. I really don't understand why all shows aren't made feet shaped. I looked at the barefoot trainers but I don't think they have the same cushioning which I have found really helpful.
@@cdwc To be honest, I don't tend to like the company of regular golfers so maybe it's for the best!! 😁 Cushioning is an interesting one. Some prefer the close-to-the-ground 'zero drop' but I guess it also depends on what we do and how our feet are. It must be tough (and expensive) to wear barefoot shoes in every moment of our lives.
The Bentley to Farnham walk was great. The south coast of the Isle of Wight is also beautiful. I would love to do the Scottish Highlands. I went once but it was during Foot and Mouth so we couldn't walk anywhere.
I name that statue "Horse Dildo" Also, and unconnected, the founder of Welywn G.C. is the great grandfather of my all-time favourite celebrity Una "better than Cliff" Stubbs.
Cool man. I haven't got enough subscribers to monetise this channel. Also from my other channel I think I have made about 150 videos and perhaps made about £800 in total from monetisation in about ten years. They've probably cost at least ten times that. Ha. I just put it on there to help towards the cost of the videos. I've come to terms with the fact that I won't be a youtube success. How do you get the algorithm to like you?
@@cdwc that's the problem. Nobody knows what the algorithm is. It changes daily, like the enigma machine but more sinister. Chris winter has started doing some videos about monetisation, it used to the consistency was king, but honestly who knows anymore? All the best!
The glove poem was beautiful. I wept uncontrollably for an hour and my whole outlook on life has shifted. Thank you x.
The object of my videos is to make people cry.
Enjoying this walk again.
the burgers at the brocket arms are tasty BOSH!
I live in Welwyn Garden City 😉 that's why I clicked on this video
Nice. I expect you've been on that walk quite a lot recently. Stay cool.
Cool Dudes Walking Club well not that walk but there is a different one I do
Great walk. Love the cute names: my personal favourites are Cat and Fiddle Lane and Crump’s Butts.
Great video Marek, i always feel like a trespasser when i'm on a golf course foot path, and the greens keepers won't say hello, (sorry if this is a double post, the other disappeared)
I am glad it's not just me. Stay cool.
Oh and im gna go with Retired Seahorse on that sculpture
Good sculpture name.

Stayed in Welwyn Garden City last year , didn't know the history, thank you for your informative video.
It's a good job I cut out about five minutes of me talking about dog shit bins otherwise it would have been a lot less informative.
i live near there
Nice one dude. It is a great walk.
That sculpture looks like my tapeworm lmao
That is a powerful tapeworm.

Another excellent vlog..!!
Thanks dude.
I feel the safe when walking through golf courses. I used to live in Bath and felt very judged when taking a walk!
I definitely feel like I have some sort of reduced status as a human being when I am walking on a golf course. It is a really odd feeling.
The sculpture is 'Toothpaste Tube Squeezed By Six Year Old'.
All six year olds are arseholes.
Trespassing your way to the Quiet Lane 🤫
The sculpture is called the fat seahorse
Excellent name cool dude.
@@cdwc thanks so much cool dude
woohoo!!! something to look forward to!

Back when I lived somewhere nice!
Yay!

Nice one James. I saw a couple of off road cyclists on the walk. Good statue name too.
Personal highlights: "sheep in field NOW"! ...and seeing Welwyn coronation fountain squirt jets of water into Marek's ear at the end"
Cool shoes for a cool dude. These walking videos just keep getting better leading to the choice: watch now for instant gratification or save for a treat...watch it now!
Thanks cool dude and thanks for the donation.
Fucking lovely stuff, Marek. May I suggest you check out the bogs on your next walk? You never know, some people might be into shitting in public lavatories.
I'm not sure about taking my camera into public toilets and filming.

Thanks Matt. Bastard Fluffers should be a recognised name for sheep. Stay Cool.

Sculpture looks like melted Terminator
Sculpture name... Roadkill Giraffe.
Yes, although I have never seen giraffe roadkill so cannot verify whether this is accurate. Hopefully I'll get to see some soon.
0:20 Melted Barbie Sans Caput - A study of the cloned look of social media influencers.
I would call that statue Hip Replacement.
If you were to go walking in a foreign country what walk and in what country would you choose?
Good question will answer in next video.
@@cdwc Thanks. Another question; What was on that deck chair at 07:27? Was it free books ore something?
I want a pair of Altra Olympus trainers. My feet hurt from todays walk!
Get them. They are incredible. I think they are on the 3.5's now. Expensive but good for about 500 miles I reckon.
Theres a walk ive been wanting to do for years Its the canal route from Birmingham to London. Abit of a longer one then your normal walks though.
DO IT IMMEDIATELY!
Canal walks are the best because there aren't hills involved! Back when my legs worked better I did Toulouse to Beziers and it was sweet!
How many people do you see per walk to give it a 1 face rating?
This is a great questions. I think one face represents three or four people maybe. I think my Haslemere Circular was a one.
1:20 mark. #Poohsofa
I would call the statue armless dave
Another very good name.
I know armless Dave. He's 'armless enough.
Those chips didn't look cooked.
Altras are good. What're your thoughts on David Bentley Hart's new translation of the New Testament?
I am waiting for the audio book.
@@cdwc Probs a good call
What’s your favourite ever walk?
The Bentley to Farnham walk was great. The south coast of the Isle of Wight is also beautiful. I would love to do the Scottish Highlands. I went once but it was during Foot and Mouth so we couldn't walk anywhere.

Good statue name and facts combo.
Hey Marek, TH-cam premier is interesting and honestly pretty cool, but maybe not good if you want monetisation and the algorithm to like you.

All the best!
Andy Scott is a better sculptor
Controversy!
How about inveting a dog poo dispenser for people who haven't got a dog.
This sounds like some sort of fetish thing.
@@cdwc Lol
Will there one day be a group walk, maybe meet in a forest car park beforehand.
Yes but I haven't got a car, so. might have to be a station.
