Glad to see you are back out on your/Cooke's Search of Sussex. Interesting that didn't continue on from Edburton. Thanks for all the history & views of the surrounding area. Loved the Keys Of Heaven at :21 (Red Valerian).
I always think of wind direction as the opposite as the direction it’s blowing you too! Once again, I’m amazed by the sound quality in the wind - great stuff!
Very Enjoyable, another treat, Thanks for making and posting it. Another little wisdom regarding weather; In the Northern Hemisphere, if you stand square on to the wind (or breeze! ^-) ) if you stick out your right hand perpendicular to the direction you're facing (effectively pointing in straight line off your shoulder), you will be pointing directly into the Centre of the Low Pressure that is causing the wind. It's probably not important, but I think why not know what you can. Every fact and little bit of knowledge helps rather than hinders. Naturally, thanks to the Coriolis Effect, the reverse would be true in the Southern Hemisphere, somewhere I've not been and do not wish to, even to see a bath drain swirl in the opposite direction! ^-)
Dan, when bushwalking in Australia we use this technique to predict the weather. If a low is to our north and west it's likely to bring rain as it passes us. If it's to the south and east it's unlikely to bring rain. Of course, this is probably the opposite in the northern hemisphere.
The whole thing is fabulous. I just think it should be put out there again. I cannot believe that such a great little video has so few views. I think you should just do a small release of your favourite walks and introduce them to your new ordience as recommendations as they are so easily miss.
Richard You mention Arthur Stanley Cooke's book, 'Off the Beaten Track' and in other videos you mention other books. I wondered if you could recommend a list of books about Sussex which would be useful for those who want to find out more? Thanks for all your interesting walks around Sussex. Cheers, Jack
I often think of the logistics of your walks and the walking back and forwards. Do you leave your car at the end of your route or walk back all those miles to it ?
Richard, in your read of the book at approx 5 min in, you mention stanley says, talking about the path "ints not very wide and you can cross it and you will reach a CWM" or somesuch spelling, it would be interesting to know what actual spelling is used for this plese.
For the Downs to look like they do the sheep need to graze. Since there are no shepherds the sheep need to be fenced in. Bring back the shepherd, I say!
My cousin trained to be a shepherd, got the dog & everything but never could get work as a shepherd she has had to resort to being a security guard. Apparently if you want to be a shepherd you (or your family etc) need to own the land. Theres no jobs going for others.
Remarkable the size of the population and the amount of beautiful landscape still there to enjoy.
True, but the heritage of the place is changing.
I am really enjoying being shown round Sussex by you, thankyou Richard.
Thank you for a lovely walk for me to view over my Sunday breakfast. Have a wonderful week.

I thank the tea strainer for the anti-wind device. :)
Richard Vobes - all the high tech stuff 😀
It you sail a boat, it's pretty sensible to name the wind according to where it's coming from.
Just think of wind direction as "coming out of the . . . . . . .", so a west or westerly wind is coming from the west.
And it has the character of that direction. West is the strongest, North is cold, and Southern is warm.
The wind direction never made sense to me either.
Our cold winds are generally from the North and east. But it was jolly cool yesterday and on the top of the Downs ..... Brrr
It always used to confuse me too!

You should release this with a new introduction. This is such a stunning video.
Why new introduction?

I will have to do a video about my books perhaps.
@@RichardVobes good idea

I do move the car where possible as close to filming - but sometimes one can't do that. :)
@@RichardVobes Wow, so much hard work. Thank you for the great films and all your efforts.
Richard, in your read of the book at approx 5 min in, you mention stanley says, talking about the path "ints not very wide and you can cross it and you will reach a CWM" or somesuch spelling, it would be interesting to know what actual spelling is used for this plese.
He refers to a combe: this can refer either to a steep, narrow valley, or to a small valley or large hollow on the side of a hill
Cwm is the Welsh spelling, Coombe is the south of England spelling. In Yorkshire it's a gill.

I hope you are staying safe Richard and use hand sanitizer each time you open and close them gates.
I am safe thanks.
