Thanks, I think we will be trying some more local chip shops again.
Hey, who you calling an old git. Ha ha ha ha ha. Love it 👍
My grandparents used to run the Dirty Duck pub in trecco, good memories.
Yep, I remember the Dirty Duck. It was legendary.
I worked there during my summer holidays in the 1980s
Marcus What a great scenic walk on a lovely day
Nice and sunny, no rain and wind for a change.
Brings back memories of when I was a kid and stayed in Treco for miners fortnight. Same time the Radio 1 roadshow used to visit town. Love you to do a video with memories of the roadshow visits
I remember those Radio 1 roadshows.
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon your videos are always enjoyable have a great day greetings from Canada 😀

Yes to more chip shop reviews. Previous vlogs used to make me hungry, I could almost smell the salt & vinegar !
Watch out for Sunday's vid - but was it good or bad?
Another great video Marcus. That’s my usual walk with my dog when I’m home from Middle East. Back in august next and looking forward to it too. Take care and keep posting 👍👍
Cheers 👍
Hi Marcus, We will be in Trecco Bay in a couple of weeks. Great walk, have done it a few times.
I had great weather that morning.
Have you been back since they've built the covered Pavilion?
@@flydriveexplore Hope we get the same weather to, looking forward to seeing the Pavilion, new to us.
That chip shops allways been dreadful great video really enjoyed
We were just there, on Wednesday Marcus, on Trecco Beach, it was glorious and as you said busy.. And Thursday, we walked around the park and to Newton beach, then back through the park to the static caravan. It was really really windy, proper 'sand in the face' windy.. Fabulous weather, but the rain came back on Friday as I returned to pick up the Grandkids.
So, it's safe to say we had the best 'beach day' out of last week.
Best wishes to you, from Wales (too).
Porthcawl looking its very best ☀️
You should work for the tourist board!
Yes, the light is really good early in the morning.
Off there on saturday for a week. Cant wait ! Lol
Have a good time. Looks hot on the weekend.
there's a place in NYC called Coney Island...similar beachside w games,food...my Mom used to go as a child...
This place was named after the one in NYC
@@flydriveexplore oh cool. Thank you 🌴
Me, my brothers and mam used to spend the whole school summer holidays in the bull ring touring caravan park. Just below the shops that are no longer there. Fond memories. We would go to the amusements on a Friday for a treat because they used to be half price. Definitely review the fish and chip shop. Any ideas when they will finish the harbour wall?
The Sandy Bay bowl, the only time they use it now is for camping during the Elvis festival. No idea when they will finish the sea wall, still looks at least another month.
Amazing vlog. We. Down. Trecco. Next. Friday, come every year from. Stoke on trent. You've just knocked about 4 mile off trecco. To. Porthcawl. Lol.
Glad it was useful. Hope you have a great time.
I have'nt been to Trecco Bay for over 40 years, it seems to have changed a lot, (better or worse I have no idea?) but in my mind there did not seem to be a beach full of pebbles as in your vid? but I have no pics so cannot prove it! looking at the area you went through with the touring caravans, that was new to me? I cannot remember such a large area of open space at all, I seem to remember it was all caravans, it was an enormouse caravan site 40+ years ago, just had to look it up on google maps, it is half what it used to be, totally changed.
Further to you talk about Coney Beach I was told over 40 years ago or even further back that Coney Beach was named after Coney Beach in Brooklyn New York, I cannot remember why? maybe you know.
Brilliant.i walked along the stream near bridgend looking at banks.found what i think was roman potery.and small peice other with some strange patern very old looking
Interesting, the Romans did pass though the area, the A48 roughly follows the Roman Road.
@@flydriveexplore i do like messing about. Im going explore more and let you know. What you think the chances are of finding some gold. Even if no chance im going yo mess around lol one little speck would be enough for me.
Great video as always. I walked there in April from Coney Beach to the Ogmore River, and into the sand dunes, and back to Park Dean. Did you see Robinson Crusoe house on Newton?
That's a great walk. What's the Robinson Crusoe house? I'm intrigued.
On the beach there is an old 'house,'. Google maps, Robinson Crusoe shack, and it will show it's location.
@@tykeflo8362 I've walked that area many times, don't think I've noticed it built as big as it looks in the pics. Have to go back and take a look. (Who built it?)
I like to think that when you first started videoing at the unearthly hour of 6 am that dear, old Mel was probably still snuggly tucked up in her warm comfortable bed blissfully dreaming of Jumbo Sausages & chips - and who could fault her for that?
I dare say that Mel would make a fitting muse for a reworking of Peter Sarstedt's haunting song - "Where Do You Go To My Lovely (when you're alone in your bed)"
Incidentally, have it on good authority from a very obliging bank teller when I had the occasion to pop into that very Lloyds bank on John Street, that the best Jumbo Sausage & Chips is to be had from Finnegans Fish & Chip shop - which is just under 5 minutes away. She wasn't wrong.It was so big that I couldn't gobble all of it and so ended up feeding the last 4 inches to the circling seagulls.
It goes without saying that you and Mel should definitely conduct a full review of the Parkdean Fish and Chippery. I want to know how good their Jumbo Sausages are along with their curry sauce. I don't suppose you or Mel are into cockles or whelks? I love them drenched in buckets of malt vinegar and a few twists of black pepper - all followed down with a nice big dollop of strawberry ice cream.
By-the-way, lovely shots at 14' 57'' of the beautiful sea gently lapping the shore. I just wished you returned at midday so I could gauge just how busy the beaches became - I'm not a great fan of playing sardines on a beach with shouty mothers and screaming kids.
Thanks for the comments, this one hasn't been removed by YT yet. We will be trying the chip shop down Trecco Bay soon. Finnegans just off John Street is also our usual chip shop of choice. They do a Sausage Special!
My wife and I walked this route many times.Travelled fifty miles many times just to eat at the Trecco Bay fish shop .It used to be called Lee’s then.We used to stay at the Newton end in our caravan days.There used to be a nice cafe on the council park in those days but all gone now.I called the fish and chip shop Lee’s but I meant Lew’s.
There used to be a chip shop in Sandy Bay, on the road between Trecco and the fair was that the one? Or in Trecco Bay itself.
@@flydriveexplore The fish shop I referred to was in the part of Trecco Bay village where the shops are.You pointed to it and said you may pay them a visit,in your video.Sometimes we used to walk this way but the ot her way round.
@@terrycollett1461 We will be trying that place out shortly, we'll see what it's like. It's called the Fish and Chippery now and run directly by Parkdean.
@@flydriveexplore I’ve seen the chap who used to run it when we used it and I’ve spoken to him and he said he had retired.We hope to be renewing our Porthcawl visits soon so look out.Remember l know you but you don’t know me.It won’t be for a while but that’s the plan.
another great vid,been about 30 years since i lived in a bedsit on new rd for 3 years before i joined the army...please dont tell me there is no more wimpy burger place in the fair :(...plus what was the name of the pub/club just outside trecco towards the fair...the Dirty Duck????plus i noticed,the old sea cadet building has gone by the harbour?
The Wimpy has gone, it's now the place called the "Chick King". The area at 8:25 where the containers are, that's where the Dirty Duck used to be. Yes, they knocked down the old Sea Cadet hut, they now use a portacabin by the lifeboat station. They were meant to have an area in the new development at Cosy Corner but that went 'pear shaped' last year.
Great video….. have you ever done a walk of the old railway line up to Pyle ?
I have done parts of it in my Nottage and Cornelly videos. I am planning a walk from Cefn Cribwr Junction down to Porthcawl. Big parts have been now been covered by the road of Junction 37
Yes review the chippy. Please do.
I think we will
El Trecco.........🇪🇸
Incidentally a mercenary was known to retire there to Trecco bay may be still alive enjoying retirement sure been ten years retirement for him already hope he’s still with us the best at what he does worldwide reknown soldier of fortune his dream place of rest and play.
🤔
Hey Marcus was hoping to see the sea front wall what work are they doing there? We are on holiday at trecco from tomorrow maybe we will see you there one day 🤞
They are still working on the pier and the eastern promenade, looks like a few more weeks at least. We hope to try the chip shop in Trecco this week.
I think I'm going to move back to wales
We going to Morgan cordial in September do you think the hotel and Puerto Morgan is ok for wheelchair user
It's relatively flat with plenty of elevators and the way into town is pedestrianised. To us, it looked OK. Although as we're not wheelchair users we wouldn't have noticed any possible issues.
Review the fish and chip shop!
I think we will
Why is it that your beaches do not have big waves like us over in U.S.A.?
The waves come from low pressure from the Atlantic. We've had a period of very nice weather and high pressure (no waves). This area of South Wales and Devon and Cornwall are popular surfing areas. Take a look at this th-cam.com/video/qLAhLqQ7Pwk/w-d-xo.html
Sadly Marcus three months on and the break water doesn't look nowhere near completion. 🙄
Yep, not much action going on.
WALES ITS RUNNING DOWN THERE NOT FAR FROM WHERE I LIVE
And Sandy bay is not part of trecco bay
Trecco Bay is the beach by Parkdean caravan site and Sandy Bay is the bay in front of the fair which incudes Coney Beach. I don't think I ever said Sandy Bay was part of Trecco Bay.
