Armchair Walks - Worthing's Back Streets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Armchair Walks are a 'point of view' walk captured on video. A virtual walk as it were. I started making these in the summer of 2017, but this from the morning of 27th March2020 while we are in lockdown from the Covid19 virus.
A 20-minute walk around the back streets of Worthing, in West Sussex with the sounds accompanying. I hope you enjoy it, especially if you cannot get out for a walk yourself.

Love all the birdsong
Ahhh..classic England largest empire in history amd birthplace of my grt grandaddy. Hes buried in the states but was said of him many times..he never forgot his beloved Liverpool! When all this virus crap is over i plan my first trip to the 🇬🇧. Gonna spend the Christmas holidays there and i can barely wait. Great video Richie V!!
I say old chap! please don't compare our beloved Worthing with that northern place called Liverpool. They are miles apart in all comparisons. LOL. (only joking folks, b4 the internet police come for me)
@@hsbcgeoff Educate me my friend, ive never been to the homeland. Im open to learning.😄
Very interesting to see all the different styles of houses in a relatively small area. Enjoyed the walk very much - thank you!
Lovely stuff. Birdsong great. I got house sparrow, starling, blackbird, robin, magpie, herring gull, collared dove, wood pigeon and I think chaffinch. Must have missed a couple but not a bad haul for 20 mins 😀
Some lovely light in the mornings at the moment- I feel lie I can add a few virtual steps to my own daily total.
Ah,the mean streets and twittens of Worthing! If i'm not mistaken around the Broadwater Road area?
Had you gone towards the railway bridge there used to be a massive civil defence depot to your right.
Cased the joint for your future "house visits",eh?
@2:38 fellow postie going to work 🙂 love the sounds of the birds, you can hear them so clear now there's little traffic 👍
Wow, the roar of the main road seems so much more apparent at the moment. Great vicarious stroll, thanks Richard
Depends on the type of microphone which is being used. A lapel mike or any unidirectional mike is much more selective about what audio it collects. A general mike (omnidirectional) - integrated into the camera, for example, will simply collect everything. The sound of traffic will be reduced by its sharp decline in quantity - though there may be a tad more echo because of the hard stone / concrete / tarmac / railings etc have no barrier between them traffic - so they will reflect it well. As you suggest, where there is no traffic then an occasional car, say, that will seem louder because our ears had adjusted to the extra quiet.
A pleasant walk Richard and I didn’t leave the house
Always a joy to watch , love your armchair walks.
If this virus continues you are going to need a new pair of Romeo's...... They've seen some miles boy!
Bird song - fresh air...great - Car alien!
You haven't done one of your arm chair walks for a while. One of my favorites was the one that you went on through a sunken garden full of colorful flowers all in bloom! No wonder traffic seemed so loud out your front door on your podcast the other morn - didn't realize you were so close to a main freeway/overpass! Love that plumbers old van!😍 So many Victorian townhouses in Worthing - must have been a reall population explosion there at that time!
Btw...couldn't believe a car dealership was open. Can't believe many people would be out buying a car right now!😕🤷♀️
The Sales Dept' wouldn't have been open Lisa, only the Service people who are deemed 'key workers' for this emergency.
that was a good round trip ....do be safe and careful out there x any chance you can walk past my cousins house and give her a 'virtual wave' from me in these tough times...i think you walked nearby..
That footpath you walked down about halfway through, would you call that a Twitten? I really enjoyed the video about the twittens, my favourite vobes video!
Twitchell?
Twitters?
Twittern
Great footage a slice of suburbia , seems like 5 cars to every house 🙈, dig up the garden so we can get a few more cars in crazy , what was the building before it became a Morrison’s , thanks for sharing Richard 👍
I think it was a Co-op. It's been Morrisons for a very long time. They extended about 10 years ago into the former car park, and had been there for quite a while before that (but can't remember exactly how long).
Very Omega Man when there is no traffic
Nice walk Richard...introduced me to a few cut-throughs I certainly wasn't aware of!
Cheers
Dave
Thank you, Richard. Now I have a new virtual walk for my treadmill. Glad to see all the cars in the drive ways. Everyone is at home. Now I see why you all drive small cars. Staying safe in Ohio.
Wonderful walk Richard! It's so nice to hear the birdsong! Really enjoyed the video! Thank you for taking us along...take care!
Really enjoyed this it takes me back to the late 90s when I was a regular in the area . Loved the bird song
Ah, that was lovely, but I was willing you to turn right into Ivy Arch and come back through the tunnel!
I loved the mystery of the ivy Arch video, that was one of my favorites
I enjoyed my 20 minutes of fresh air and exercise around Worthing!!! Thanks Richard, and i look forward to more. 👍🏻
Hi Richard, hope you are keeping well and optimistic. Thanks for this video. I see many people did like it - especially those with local (Worthing) connections. I was not so keen, sorry. I know you made the effort and probably wracked your mind to come-up with an idea but... I think there is merit in a walking video but you could accelerate it at points where there is no development - eg the walk past Morrisons. For us un-Worthies, it would also be good to have the occasional comment (post-production voice-over would be ideal) just to guide and point out anything especially interesting. I am not suggesting a month of careful research, just a few guiding pointers. Even a rough sketch map would be good. I hope you see this as a positive suggestion, not a negative criticism; I have long been a viewer of yours and do appreciate all your efforts. Thank you. Stay safe!
Will be chipping in - the Vobes Exchequer to swell . . .
Morning Richard. Good video, the bird sounds, seeing the old Morris Van,etc. Perhaps you were a little bit worried about no voice over. There is one channel that I am sub to. Morthren who does disused railways and other things, without one word. He/she has over 18K sub and just over 9 million views
i can hear the birds singing .. lovely,,till the seagull spoils the morning chorus
While I always enjoy your content I much prefer your countryside walks rather than the urban ones but I suppose it is good to have a variation in content as I do realise that some people appreciate them more than others. However, I do hope you venture off soon on one of those lovely footpath strolls.
Please ignore the hysteria to keep away from the countryside (it is only guidance anyway rather than an implicit instruction to keep away) and of course, some farmers are using it as an excuse to keep the public away - most landowners hate public footpaths on their land and will do almost anything to discourage people from using them.
I fail to see what harm you will come to in terms of the Coronavirus if stroll by yourself in the middle of nowhere where you are highly unlikely to come across any fellow human beings and if you did then you merely need to give them a wide berth.
Just to be on the safe side, you may wish to consider taking a folding waking stick/pole that can fully bear your weigh should you happen to twist an ankle but a good pair of walking boots often or not prevent such things from happening.
If people say, 'Well what would happen if Richard were to take a tumble and hurt himself to such an extent that he couldn't walk out?' Well to be fair, anything could happen, just like the sky was supposed to fall in when Brexit happened. And in all the years that the sprightly Mr Vobes has been creeping about the countryside I do not recall him ever coming to any great harm. People need to get a grip and to stop overreacting.
Thank you for your opinion on what is safe and what is not @Vivian, however, the Government advice is very clear - "Stay home, Stay safe".
Nice one, I take it these videos are for the older ones, who sit in there armchair and can't get out and about? Am I right? Well done
Skies free of geo engineering during this 'lockdown' time. No streaks, no huge white lines, just blue sky like the good old days...
As someone who knows Worthing like the back of my hand it was so sad to see so many of the red brick pavements all gone. I have photos from the 80s when I was just a teen and things on your walk looked so different. I regularly used to upset people riding my motorbike up all those ally's you visited in this video.
I've lived all over Worthing so pretty much all of it so really am enjoying all your vids.
Must of been up early Richard Loved hearing all the birds singing,really enjoyed lots of memories for me thank you
2 video in one day !!!
4 if you count the fact he's doubled his live shows right now too!
Well done Richard !
Well at least we got to see, if not you, your shadow and feet and a lot of Morrisons!.And you got 56 comments. You must have seen a lot of changes in the 30 odd years you have been living there.
Thank you dear Bald Explorer, Cultural Hero, First Class. Yet another delight. A request - to extend your home range a little - please do Lansdowne Road - more parts of our beloved, fine town to relish. Thanks again, PH, erstwhile fellow of Horsham; later of Steyning, Worthing, Shoreham and Brighton - our beloved GOSBTS - am eking it out in Sunny Chelsea, SW3 for now, dreaming of the day . . . when next at home in Sussex, I smile my broadest smile.
may I on behalf of all mancunians enquire what a Twitten is ?
For us in America it's basically an Alley - but I do like the sound of Twitten better, don't you?
Btw...on behalf of all us that don't what a Mancunian is, can you help me w/ that?
