I found this idyllic hut on AirBnB so had to check it out and stay for a few days... Check out my Instagram - / alex_smith1809 Business enquiries - alexfordhamsmith@gmail.com
Lovely video, Alex. Thanks. Worth mentioning the wonderful walking trails the UK has. Here in my native Texas one cannot criss cross the country side, passing through pastures and fields without the real risk of being confronted with a gun toting land owner.
As it should be. You can crisscross all you want, just do it on public property. In Texas, you should be more worried about illegal immigrants than gun-toting landowners.
@@commonsense3333 I would be more worried about gun-toting landowners, not illegal immigrants.... just because someone is an illegal immigrant doesn't mean they're a danger to you. Gun-toting literally makes reference to someone intending to use a gun in an illegal or criminal manner, which is much more dangerous than an illegal immigrant lol
A illegal immigrant isn’t deadly by definition A gun on the other hand 🤷♀️ And seeing my hope for mankind ain’t that high I don’t think most people Should actually own one They lack the intelligence to make an actual wel thought through choice on the life of another
It's close to midnight in my part of the world.. But I just couldn't resist viewing just one last video of yours. And so happy that I did. There's nothing better than discovering a place on foot. You observe so many things which otherwise you would miss, were you to speed by in a car. I would say, walking is exhilarating and what a beautiful countryside you took us to. Thank you and Good night.
“Completed it mate” comment made me chuckle at the end 😅 Having grown up around these sorts of surrounding my entire life, it’s easy to take them for granted. Nice to see others enjoying the simple pleasures the uk countryside has to offer 🤷♂️
Definitely a hare with that gait! Great video mate. The white thing is a trig point or trigonometrical point. They usually have depressions in the top to put a theodolite (equipment used to measure angles). Thanks to these ordnance survey were able accurately map the UK. Now generally obsolete for surveying purposes due to modern technology then have become markers for walkers.
If I stayed in that hut I wouldn't wanna go home either ! - That folding space saving bed is terrific ! and this compact place has all the mod cons ! - Great stuff !
I am liking your videos even more than the fishing Alex, that says a lot. Your vids are interesting and calming and very watchable 👌🏼 thanks keep them coming. Loving these places and your excellent filming
1:09 i agree, we have a brewery down the road inmy town... it brews triples and doubles and they only sell it in their own brewery/restaurant. Great concept
Found your channel recently and have been watching a few videos a day to catch up on your adventures. I am recovering from knee surgery and have loved watching you walk around. Lovely spot you picked. I see I am not alone in liking your filming style. Keep up the great work!
Discovered you this afternoon and have watched your vids back to back. LOVE them! Terrific work, and like you I starting growing edibles for the first time during Covid.
great video! I knew as soon as I saw the surroundings, I knew where you were. I live within a mile of where you stayed! my grandad even has his face printed on one of the ales wincle brew :)
I guess I missed this video, but sure glad I watched it. Beautiful countryside, and what a neat little hut! I guess at this period you were still doing fishing videos with Carl.
Great video and very different from "Carl and Alex". I went walking with Nottingham YHA local group in the early 1980's on The Roaches, at the time there was a wild colony of Wallaby's but we never saw any. That was a brown Hare you saw, look for the black ear tips if in doubt. Some great mountain biking in the Peak District as an alternative to walking. Look forward to future uploads
Try the North Norfolk coast in summer time Alex. Places like Holkham, Cley, Weybourne have beautiful coastal walks and wildlife , unspoilt by industry etc. Kelling Heath is also one of my favourite places and I visit as often as I can.
I love your video's Alex! It's next thing to being there in real life. Thanks for taking us to some beautiful places with great views. Walking is great is great exercise and good for the soul. So who taught you to cook? On all of your video's your food always looks delicious. Happy hiking and travels to you. Can't wait to see your next video. 😉
Hi Alex, have you ever walked the fire hills in Hastings? I think you’d love it! It’s cliff top walking, there’s a lot of woodland, streams, wildlife and even a waterfall if you can find it! It’s very peaceful if you want more info feel free to get in touch!
He has done a video from near there where he launches his boat from the end of the old town and canoes along past the nudey beach and sets up camp for the night .
@@danjames5552 yeah I’ve seen that it’s one of my favourite videos I just wasn’t sure if he has been up there that’s all. It’s a great video! Looked very peaceful.
I was fishing in Stert, whitch is a small village in Wiltshire next to Devizes when I heard a noise behind me and it was a barn owl , that had landed directly behind me on a fence post about two foot away , it did not suss I was there but it did as soon as it landed and it made a squawk type noise and flew off
Started to watch your videos, just like to say they are great same as the fishing videos you did with your brother, I know you both work together, but have different video channel's which I will be watching brothers channel as well. Keep up the good work. 🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟
Great video Alex I live in Derbyshire I know this sounds crazy but the roaches walk you did is famous for wild wallaby yes as in Australia wild animal still here stories of sightings in that area your car camping videos are very enjoyable
Liked and subscribed .Definitely going to watch Alex doing his stuff on his channel . that Carl was just holing you back . more mushroom hunting out door stuff and crep checks bro
@@just_alex as much as we all love fishing we also love other things like camping walking ,cooking, mushroom hunting and outside stuff .your channel well be like 50 good channels all in one and you will have a million subs before you know it . i hope that you have not fallen out with you brother
Nothing wrong with enjoying your own company and going alone mate.. I’m the same. I’m a loner but in not lonely.. I have 3 siblings who are my closest friends that I see every week and incredible mates I see every week also.. I just like my own company sometimes
Same. For me I love my own company. I work in a busy Emergency department. Multiple professions and the public everyday. Just to have time to not need conversation is great. I could live there easily . Love the vids Alex. ♥️
The Roaches is my happy place! Close to where I grew up and where most of my family still live. If you drive past on the road adjacent part of the rock formation looks like a mans face complete with an eye that actually appears to wink at you as you pass. Quit near there is a pool called mermaids pool. Legend has it a mermaid baths on the bank at midnight on Easter eve! Legend also has it that the pool is so deep it joins up with the Atlantic ocean, which is possibly even more far fetched then the mermaid as the Roaches is in Midlands!!
Hey Alex. Question - When did you see the owl box with the chicks in ? My Dad wants to see a Barn Owl in the wild going out on a hunt. I know of a place that has about 12 boxes scattered around and I was going to take him down around April time... but if the chicks have already grown and flown.. Then it's obvs too late.. Great video and I can't wait to see you and Carl back again but without any pressure and just enjoying each others brother-ness again.... like it should.
@@just_alex Ohhh BTW. When I said back together. I meant as the 1 off's they will be.. I just hope you have a new dynamic with each other as Brothers who now and then hang out of each others vids and just enjoy each others company.. Thanks for the info. I can't wait till April now. Good luck on your solo trip. I have a few undiagnosed conditions (I'm 43 and just classed as hypoactive and left to it but I know I have ADHD, Dyslexia and a couple of others) So, seeing you finding yourself is going to be an amazing experience for yourself and us watching.

Stayed in one of these near the New Forest. Three nights with a fire and BBQ . Loved it! Surprising how little you need really to have a great time 👍
I live about 30 minutes from the Roaches - Beautiful area. I think the area in the background is Tittesworth reservoir, beautiful walk!
What a marvelous video! Glad you did those great walks! I would have spent the whole time watching the lambies. So cute!
Definitely a hare with that gait! Great video mate.

What is the name of the hut/ place ? Thanks
@@barlysandadventures6666 I don't know - You will have to ask the owner of this video this question.
can neverrr eat too many eggs they are so good for ya!! looks like a lovely peaceful trip

You're so funny - this is what TH-cam is about.
Discovered you this afternoon and have watched your vids back to back. LOVE them! Terrific work, and like you I starting growing edibles for the first time during Covid.
The sheep 🐑 🤣🥰 this was awesome to watch! Really makes me want to go in holiday in the middle of nowhere 🥰🥰
The Peak District is certainly a beautiful place . Done some climbing there many yrs ago.
Looking forward to the next adventure 👍🏻

Wow I had no idea there were earthquakes in the UK. The up-thrust at 9:38 is amazing!
Nice one Alex! Very cool start.
Cheers for the first comment on this channel! :)
Great stuff, like going on a retreat.
Beer, map, morning, new beautiful countryside, exploration and endorphins. What is not to like!
I really enjoyed this video Alex, thank you you’re awesome❤️❤️
I'm a fan of your channel after watching 3 videos. Interesting and rather amusing. Keep up the good work, Alex. Cheers. Joe. Somerset. UK.
Thanks. Hope you enjoy the future videos. :)
Looked great Alex. Its good for the soul sometimes to step way on your own to enjoy your company.
Try the North Norfolk coast in summer time Alex. Places like Holkham, Cley, Weybourne have beautiful coastal walks and wildlife , unspoilt by industry etc. Kelling Heath is also one of my favourite places and I visit as often as I can.

@@danjames5552 haha! Not exactly TH-cam friendly 😂 different websites for that I think 😂
no one's going to throw nice Alex out!! (chuckle) if youre heading to South East Asia, my Ma has a place you can stay 4 nights too...FOC ..Welcome!
oh wow what a life you have alex ❤❤❤ love it ❤
One of my favourite birds too! Have never seen one during the day though which would be incredible to whiteness👀

100% Hare Alex. The length of legs and the gate (way it moves) gives it away.
Agreed 👍🏻
Wonderful Alex I very much enjoy your videos . willing to meet you soon
I'm loving your videos Alex ✌. Glad I managed to stumble across your channel. Keep up the good work lad!. Cheers,
Adam - Manchester
Thanks so much Adam!
Go nice places and do good things. Woop woop can’t wait for more content.
Cool vid wish you all the best on your new venture
Started to watch your videos, just like to say they are great same as the fishing videos you did with your brother, I know you both work together, but have different video channel's which I will be watching brothers channel as well. Keep up the good work. 🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟
Randomly found one of your videos, not even sure how. Love them and have subscribed. Well done mate
Cheers Tony!
That used to be my idea of a holiday. Most enjoyable, thank you.
Just found this and love the idea, would love to see more stuff like this!!
Cheers. :)
Enjoyed this vm!
Beautiful area, I went ages ago, rivers were packed with fish.... and I had no rod!
Nice vid alex! keep doing the good work👍👍👍
Cheers! Plenty more videos coming this year. :)
Loved it Alex! Video flew by
Thanks!
Great video Alex I live in Derbyshire I know this sounds crazy but the roaches walk you did is famous for wild wallaby yes as in Australia wild animal still here stories of sightings in that area your car camping videos are very enjoyable
Awesome content, love the mushroom vids too!
Thanks! More to come.
nice 1 alex its really cool at being one with yourself,keep the vids coming bro
Thanks!
the white block was a survey point! they were originally used for the ordinance survey maps and are still used for land and building surveying today!
Trig point!
@@noplace82 yes! did surveying a year and a half ago and my brain was a bit fuzzy lol
@@carrot5610 I wasn't correcting you, I think I was just excited that I knew its name!
Trigger point 👍🏻
My favourite bird of all time is also the majestic barn owl. I have a picture of myself with one at London Zoo Avery from 1975!! (I was 4!)
They are awesome aren't they!
@@just_alex Especially when you see them in the wild, unexpected!
Great Video Really enjoyed it.Thank you.
I could live there no trouble x
Cool campers show us their socks. Nice 1:56 2:50

Love your jumper it's in all your new flims the gray one is it ever washed
Yes deffo a brown hare that is 👍🏻
Gorgeous place
Great video, I enjoyed watching that and it was a hare btw.
I love walking 🚶🏻♂️❤️
I think you are absolutely cute and I wish I could live outside the United States it would be so amazing going on adventures like this

The white 'thing' is a trigonometrical point, there's maybe 6500 in the UK, that's a lot of exploring dude 👌
I was a hare mate...long ears and longer back legs that a normal bunny 👍
I think you need to add a dog that you can take on the road with you. Think it will add a lot more to the channel. 👍
Wicked video alex and as for the question was it a rabbit.the answer is it was a young hare
Enjoyed that! Just thought I’d let the algorithms know : )
I keep wat bing your videos very interesting

I can see you doing up a small abandoned house one day Alex ?
I live near Brighton as well 😂
Hey Alex, have you got a link to this hunt if possible? Danke
I enjoy walking👣👣👣👣👣👣👣
That was a hair mate oh and that place looked so nice that would good next to a carp lake
Cheers. :)
No worry’s mate keep doing what you are doing and when is a video of the new pond going up also I’ll be buying bits from your website very soon
How was your host ? They have a TH-cam channel also, and by the way it was a hare, and the tall white thing was a trig point
No way I stayed there last year😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha that’s cool. Did you enjoy it?
Good luck Alex, just watched your video with carl explaining your decision so i thought I'd better subscribe.
Wat a good morning speech brother
Well spotted that is a hare (:
Definitely a hare 😊
Whip the rod out catch some trout etc then chill by the fire pit
Learge rabbit😂😂
There's nothing unhealthy about eating 4 eggs a day!
9:31 jojo reference????
It’s a hare👍.
Cheers!
I need to go to somewhere like that
Hi Alex. What is the App you are using to calculate the distance walked please ?
It’s just the health app already installed on the iPhone.
@@just_alex Cheers. Happy walking and camping. I enjoy time away alone also. Not everybody understands that.
BTW- that was a Hare! Good luck, comes with them.
have you ever tried Fly Fishing?
