Fantastic episode! 1 *ahem* happy horse, 2 castles, 2 apples, 3 yocal lads ("that's actually decent" lol), great music selection and oodles of lovely views all edited together beautifully. Thanks Richard for the many autonomous sensory meridian responses I experienced throughout 😊💜
Wonderful to see you truly out and about again Richard. The weather was being very kind too, despite the wind. I visited Maiden Castle a bout 10 years ago and thought I had stepped into One Man and his Dog. The farmer was moving his flock up and over the Fort with the collie doing all the work of keeping the sheep together. It was awesome.
Hi Richard, excellent video...thoroughly enjoyed watching! I love seeing your beautiful English countryside! Nice to see you out and about again! You had such lovely weather! Nice to see Tim and the lovely Julia! Thank you for sharing, looking forward to the next episode! Take care, Much love Kathy x 💖
2 castles in one day Tim like old castle and building good history them kids were funny ther interested about u great we got old castle in deganwy looking cross to Conwy castle great views we love old history great video
Official list of historical terms. RECENTLY = during the last 100 years A WHILE AGO = from 1600 to Queen Victoria AGES AGO = anything before that Hope this helps Richard, all the professors and studious types use these terms. 😂😂😂 (Great video by the way!) 👍🏻
Great video :) I lived in Plympton for a year with Angie when she was studying her masters degree at Marjons (the university of st mark and St Johns in north Plymouth.) Plympton is much older than Plymouth and is an ancient stannary town - the two churches ( St Maurice by the castle) and St Mary’s further west (where we used to go) are quite grand affairs showing the importance of the place. Plympton was a lovely place to live and so much better than Plymouth (I don’t want to preempt any future videos but I suspect with the exception of the Hoe and the Barbican, I can only describe the rest of Plymouth as a grim rebuild in a cheap post war way following the Luftwaffe’s remodelling and Abercrombie’s not fully realised plan for the city centre!)
Its great to see the bald explorer back out in the landscape showing me places i never been to or likley to get to and thanks to Tim for being such a great co-host it adds that bit extra seeing you bounce of each other - wonder if any of the lads bothered to look you up on you tube later that day expect they will have been waiting for this to appear to have a laugh at no doubt. Its amazing how 'plym..' seems to feed into our language other than just the name of the town/city is there a big waterway at plymouth that drains into sea is that how it got its name maybe you'll tell me in the next instalment. Great video to add to your catelogue.
Well worth waiting for Richard! Really enjoyed this, we watched it twice. Maiden Castle is one place on our list to visit this year. Glad you saw Julia on the way & met up with Tim. Excited for the next one!! 😊 💜 🏰
Excellent video Richard. England in the springtime, nowhere better to be! I was impressed by Maiden Castle, I've driven past it so many times. Isn't it amazing to think those massive ramparts would have been dug by men without machines!
Oh what fun! Makes me feel like I want to go off to the west country again soon, it's so beautiful that journey. We loved watching this and will look forward to the next one Richard. Pleased you had a great time, and lovely weather too
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and the scenery. The back and forth with those kids on the keep was funny I did LOL many times. Drone footage is always a plus. I'm looking forward to episode 2.
What amazing countryside. Absolutely beautiful. The little town Plymton was divine. Thrilling video and filming including the banter with the boys. Excellent.
What lovely views at maiden Castle, looks like a lovely country walk. This is a great start to the Plymouth trip videos Richard, looking faward to others. Great views with the drone in plymouth's countryside too, Plymouth looks lovely. Great looking houses.
Thank you so much Richard. You packed so much into your journey to Plymouth. I know maiden castle very well as live in Dorset. I did enjoy your commentary about the history of the place. Your beautiful video with the countryside and music makes me very proud to be English. 😊 Thanks again. Xx
Enjoyed this video Richard. Always like seeing various parts of England you venture too. Great music and nice cameo by Julia. Looking forward to the next episode.
Stunning views of and from Maiden Castle, always windy up there though! The drone shots were outstanding, nd thank goodness the local yokels were friendly and tame! A lovely edition.
I was born in Plymouth and lived in Plympton until I was 8 years old. It was quite separate from Plymouth in those days with countryside between them. All built up now :-(
Richard. Not watching the news is the opposite to ignorance. Watching the news is the best way to become ignorant about things since they lie and twist things to suit their agenda. I couldn't care less what's happening in Ukraine, as its all apart of their agenda and game. I support nether "side" Anyway. Another great video out and about. I love the ancient landscapes of Britain. I feel such a connection to the past.. Old Sarum is a fascinating place also.
Yes folk history recorded in songs, art and poems, they have found that the even ironagers where much more sophisticated, than we imagined, and more species of man. Well than, that looks like viable debate lol. ❤️ Beautiful video, well done
Excellent episode Richard looks lovely down there,have to add this mornings naked Englishman made me roar with laughter,nearly choked with laughter on my pint 🤣🤣🤣 more of that please 😂
its a coincidence that this video came out today since i am off to plymouth today. One of the places i will be visiting is the Mayflower museum and the Mayflower steps.
What a lovely thing to wake up to , lm looking forward to you piece from Kingsand Corsand it’s so beautiful there did you have a Pint at the Davenport ?
This was an interesting video. I was never sure what to expect. Those kids sure were a bit bold! I’m sorry it was so windy because drone shots would have been great. I think you and Tim make a good team, I’m looking forward to the next video.
Lovely video of your journey to Plymouth. All this talk of Iron Age makes me wonder how folk lived in those days. Stunning views over Dorchester and Plympton, just proves there is some pretty places to explore in England. Thank you Richard
Another great video Richard, those two castles are amazing, and the distant views when you are filming are so clear, you can see for miles, that was a long drive glad you have your van to stop and make a drink etc, great drone footage , hope that you can go again and take Julia and camp a few days maybe.
I always think our past is in our DNA and that looking for the past is us trying to remember. We're all born with amnesia and in the modern world it can take a life time to recover from it.
Another successful Vobavision production, Maiden Castle - was that where they filmed "Far From The Madding Crowd" where Terence Stamp, as the Sargent, shows of his sword skills to the lovely Julie Christie playing the part of Bathsheba Everdene, one of Thomas Hardy novels? Makes me wish I could afford a van.
great episode in my old hault as i spent many years in plymouth as i was in Royal Navy in plymouth visited castle many times nice weather too have a nice time
Chalk is a very interesting material and upon excavating some of these ancient places they discovered some pot shaped holes big enough to get into and of course dig out. Then of course they just had to experiment and fill them full of wheat. Put a cover over and come back many months later. ROTTON!! But as they dug down into the grains all was fresh. The other advantage if they were overrun the enemy did not know where the food was stored. David and Lily.
Fantastic video. Just think when ancient Britons built this over in the middle east the new testament was written. Just to put history in perspective. Ours is an ancient land and needs protection from the never ending urban spread
I panicked slightly when you said you needed to get ‘petrol’.....I once filled a diesel fuelled car with petrol.....it didn’t go well! Presumably it was a slip of the tongue and you didn’t fill the van with petrol....ever since my experience, they’ve become ‘fuel stations’......I also triple check the colour of the nozzle! Thank you for your film!
Richard, it looks to me that in your opening credits, you sneaked a trip into Cornwall. Did I spot the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, along with a fleeting visit to Rame Head? That is one of my favourite areas of Cornwall, and until now, un-visited by most holidaymakers. It is a place I shall be revisiting in July during my annual Cornish photographic trip. Dave
A conversation about subscribers and Tik Tok next to an ancient castle-a conversation that wouldn't have existed even 10 years ago!. Anyway Hope you had a good time.

@@RichardVobes here's hoping!

Great content today. Can't wait to see the next episode. Thanks Richard. Safe travels to you.

Very enjoyable, thank you Richard. Look forward to the next chapter.
So pleased you enjoyed it.
2 castles in one day Tim like old castle and building good history them kids were funny ther interested about u great we got old castle in deganwy looking cross to Conwy castle great views we love old history great video
A great piece of video diary and a fantastic intro to the trip
It was lovely to visit a place I have been meaning to go to for years.
Official list of historical terms.
RECENTLY = during the last 100 years
A WHILE AGO = from 1600 to Queen Victoria
AGES AGO = anything before that
Hope this helps Richard, all the professors and studious types use these terms.
😂😂😂
(Great video by the way!) 👍🏻
Great list - I will continue to use it. :)

Oh I totally agree about Plymouth, the housing estates go on for miles. A real shame.
What does stannary mean?
Its great to see the bald explorer back out in the landscape showing me places i never been to or likley to get to and thanks to Tim for being such a great co-host it adds that bit extra seeing you bounce of each other - wonder if any of the lads bothered to look you up on you tube later that day expect they will have been waiting for this to appear to have a laugh at no doubt.

Thanks Tracey. You will enjoy Maiden Castle.
That was terrific! Can't wait for the rest. So, nowadays, its not who you are, but how many subscribers you have!
It's all a numbers games, I suppose. I thought you would appreciate a quick visit to Maiden Castle. :)
Excellent video Richard. England in the springtime, nowhere better to be! I was impressed by Maiden Castle, I've driven past it so many times. Isn't it amazing to think those massive ramparts would have been dug by men without machines!
Yes, it is an incredible place. England has so much to offer, I can't think why anyone would move away.
Oh what fun! Makes me feel like I want to go off to the west country again soon, it's so beautiful that journey. We loved watching this and will look forward to the next one Richard. Pleased you had a great time, and lovely weather too
Thanks, Lynn. Next Ep on Tuesday.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and the scenery. The back and forth with those kids on the keep was funny I did LOL many times. Drone footage is always a plus. I'm looking forward to episode 2.
Thanks, Chris. Kids always good value.
What amazing countryside. Absolutely beautiful. The little town Plymton was divine. Thrilling video and filming including the banter with the boys. Excellent.
Thanks, Shirley.
Enjoyable as always. Looking forward to next episode tomorrow
Next episode on Thursday. :)
@@RichardVobes I wrote my comment last night so I meant today’s episode! Just watched & really good so now I AM looking forward to Thursday’s one ;D
Richard, you certainly speak for me, and the way I feel about England, wonderful video....... :)
Great to see you on an exciting adventure Richard, beautiful scenery and can't wait for more
More soon, I do hope.
Loved this Richard😀
Beautiful weather, beautiful music, beautiful scenery and beautiful narrative 👍
Sooo looking forward to episode 2!!
Thanks so much, Maureen.
Fabulous! Maiden Castle looks really impressive. Looking forward to the next episode very much 😄
What lovely views at maiden Castle, looks like a lovely country walk. This is a great start to the Plymouth trip videos Richard, looking faward to others. Great views with the drone in plymouth's countryside too, Plymouth looks lovely. Great looking houses.
Yes indeed, a great start to the adventure.

Thanks so much for your kind words. I should have popped in for a cuppa when I was in the area. So pleased you enjoyed the video.
That would have been awesome. Another time perhaps and I'll show you the delights of North Bournemouth. 😊
Love the castles richard.great episode hello Tim and Julia and joe.love the funny kids. Part 2 coming soon
A great time was had by all, Steve.
Brilliant, loved it Richard, and looking forward to part 2.
Thanks, Nigel - Part Two Tuesday.
Enjoyed this video Richard. Always like seeing various parts of England you venture too. Great music and nice cameo by Julia. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks, Heath. More of this type of thing soon I hope - next ep on Tuesday.
Lovely walk, Richard! Thank you! xx
Stunning views of and from Maiden Castle, always windy up there though! The drone shots were outstanding, nd thank goodness the local yokels were friendly and tame! A lovely edition.
Yes, yokels all friendly and fun.
I was born in Plymouth and lived in Plympton until I was 8 years old. It was quite separate from Plymouth in those days with countryside between them. All built up now :-(
Yes, a real shame the surrounding landscape is all built up on. The housing estates simply go on for miles, almost into Dartmoor.
Richard. Not watching the news is the opposite to ignorance. Watching the news is the best way to become ignorant about things since they lie and twist things to suit their agenda. I couldn't care less what's happening in Ukraine, as its all apart of their agenda and game. I support nether "side"
Anyway. Another great video out and about. I love the ancient landscapes of Britain. I feel such a connection to the past.. Old Sarum is a fascinating place also.
Thanks, Barry - I totally agree with your thoughts on 'world affairs'.
Great video conveying the enormous scale of Maiden Castle and its surroundings. Certainly merits another visit, I hope.
Yes, yes, yes - I MUST return. :)
Have a lovely time in Plymouth Richard. Devon's a great county to unwind in. Don't forget to have a proper fresh pasty.
Thanks, Suzy!
Yes folk history recorded in songs, art and poems, they have found that the even ironagers where much more sophisticated, than we imagined, and more species of man. Well than, that looks like viable debate lol. ❤️ Beautiful video, well done
Yes, I can imagine the IronAge people were far more sophisticated than we often give credit to.
Excellent episode Richard looks lovely down there,have to add this mornings naked Englishman made me roar with laughter,nearly choked with laughter on my pint 🤣🤣🤣 more of that please 😂
Oh, I am so pleased to hear that. I will do more. :)
In the life of a construction of an instant coffee brilliant 😂
I love the opening music because when I hear it I know Richard is up to something.
Yes, Indeed, always up to something.
No castles for months then two come along in the same video. 😉🤣
Just like buses. :)
its a coincidence that this video came out today since i am off to plymouth today. One of the places i will be visiting is the Mayflower museum and the Mayflower steps.
I hope you enjoy your trip.
What a lovely thing to wake up to , lm looking forward to you piece from Kingsand Corsand it’s so beautiful there did you have a Pint at the Davenport ?
No, a cuppa at the old Ship inn, which burnt down. (Not as a result of our visit, I hasten to add!)
This was an interesting video. I was never sure what to expect. Those kids sure were a bit bold! I’m sorry it was so windy because drone shots would have been great. I think you and Tim make a good team, I’m looking forward to the next video.
Thanks so much - next ep on Tuesday.
It's nice to see parts of Plymouth I have not explored. I live 10 miles away from Plymouth, I would have liked to come & say Hi. Next time. 🙏
Fantabulous! 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks 🤗
Been past Maiden Castle many times but never been able to stop there, welcome to Devon!
It is well worth a visit.
"Old Fashioned TH-cam" Epic. 😁👍
Thanks, Tony.
Lovely video of your journey to Plymouth.
All this talk of Iron Age makes me wonder how folk lived in those days.
Stunning views over Dorchester and Plympton, just proves there is some pretty places to explore in England.
Thank you Richard
Many thanks!
Another great video Richard, those two castles are amazing, and the distant views when you are filming are so clear, you can see for miles, that was a long drive glad you have your van to stop and make a drink etc, great drone footage , hope that you can go again and take Julia and camp a few days maybe.
Yes, taking Julia would be lovely!
From Reigate, Surrey we moved to Devon in 1984 and love it here. Nice to see your enjoying it, there is so much to see.
I shall be returning!
I always think our past is in our DNA and that looking for the past is us trying to remember. We're all born with amnesia and in the modern world it can take a life time to recover from it.
It sure can. You are so right.
Great Vid.
Only just managed to sit watch . Worth the wait and looking forward the the next episode
Fabulous. Thanks, Linda.
Looks a very nice area

Ah yes, Van life is the way to go.
Marvellous episode Richard. Some great places to put on my list.
Very kind. Lovely places to visit.
Really enjoyed this Richard, what spectacular views!
Glad you enjoyed it
aigo-like~ you made good view. ))
I think Maiden Castle is also one of the mythical Sites associated with King Arthur's Camelot.
Oooh is it? Fab!
@@RichardVobes I'm just full of knowledge apparently.
Oh that was great, I really enjoyed it, I love the aerial shots ,I,ve never been to Plympton.
Thank you very much!
Hi Richard,
My favourite uncle had a shop in Plympton for over 25 years (from ‘85 onwards). As you said a beautiful place.
It is a beautiful place.
I thought I recognized the place. There's been a Time Team episode about Plymton.
Oh, has there, indeed.
great episode in my old hault as i spent many years in plymouth
as i was in Royal Navy in plymouth
visited castle many times nice weather too have a nice time
I must return.
Hi Richard! Did you mean Thomas Hardy's novel " Tess of the Derbevilles"? I like it very much, though I read it in Russian translation.
Yes, indeed.
Chalk is a very interesting material and upon excavating some of these ancient places they discovered some pot shaped holes big enough to get into and of course dig out. Then of course they just had to experiment and fill them full of wheat. Put a cover over and come back many months later. ROTTON!! But as they dug down into the grains all was fresh.

Interesting stuff - thanks for that.
Fantastic video. Just think when ancient Britons built this over in the middle east the new testament was written. Just to put history in perspective. Ours is an ancient land and needs protection from the never ending urban spread
Well said.
Richard, regarding the time it took the Normans to conquer the South West, William besieged Exeter and built a castle there in 1068.
Looks like you had a lovely few days away.
Oh the weather was on my side!
tidy vid sir
I panicked slightly when you said you needed to get ‘petrol’.....I once filled a diesel fuelled car with petrol.....it didn’t go well! Presumably it was a slip of the tongue and you didn’t fill the van with petrol....ever since my experience, they’ve become ‘fuel stations’......I also triple check the colour of the nozzle! Thank you for your film!
Yes, I did miss-speak. Diesel is what I meant. :)
Richard, it looks to me that in your opening credits, you sneaked a trip into Cornwall. Did I spot the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, along with a fleeting visit to Rame Head? That is one of my favourite areas of Cornwall, and until now, un-visited by most holidaymakers. It is a place I shall be revisiting in July during my annual Cornish photographic trip.
Dave
You are correct! We did indeed, and what magical places.
Van Trip? I thought for a moment you'd gone Dutch!
It's a mysterious place.
What Happened to Sussex Border Walk?
The Sussex border walk is a long term project. There is not time scale to complete it. I will be back on the trail soon.
Fantastic thanks so much x
You’re welcome 😊
u found it!!!!
A conversation about subscribers and Tik Tok next to an ancient castle-a conversation that wouldn't have existed even 10 years ago!. Anyway Hope you had a good time.
Ha ha yes - so true!
Haha, yes! These details made me smile too 😊
Plymouth breeds a good line in thick heads 🙄
