John, from Montreal, I watch your videos, from the oldest to the newest. I used to search youtube for videos of England, its countryside, history, archeology. I watched a lot of BBC documentaries. But not anymore: you beat them all.
Beautiful scenery, wonderfully shot, superbly narrated throughout- Keep doing what you do, really enjoy your work!
Thanks so much Andy
Thank you for the walk John, what a great way to start my day :-). Take Care.
Thanks Darrell- it was a special walk
Epic.As per usual.
thank you
The abandoned pub you passed after the Two Brewers was the Old Maypole Inn. It was a great place for a cooling ale after a cycle ride or walk through Hainault Forest
Bang on John, a touch of editing artistry as well, music was brill as usual.
Thanks.
thanks so much Little Acorns - the earthwork deserved a little more attention in the edit than usual
Next time you're in Hainault Forest, head out towards Lambourne End, and see if you can track down the mighty Squire's Oak! It's huge! And then, just behind it, you can find an ancient London Borough boundary marker, which is quite cool to see.
not watched one of your films in a while as soon as it started I relaxed, the music the soothing sound of your voice, feeling very chilled great video as always
thanks very much Gary - greatly appreciated
Sounds a good walk to do
Love your walks John. Keep em up mate. Thumbs up
Thanks - plenty more on the way
Aaaah the green. I miss it. Not very green here in dry old Colorado. I can almost smell the moss and dampness through the screen. Lovely walk - thank you.
thanks Roxy, yes the green-ness is one of the benefits of living on this damp island. I really enjoyed this walk, so glad you did too
That was a great walk Your bagel looked awesome Looking forward to your next walk as well as the 100th. Nice to see that spring has arrived. We have also begun to enjoy signs of spring here in Canada. Your videos always make us happy, so relaxing Cheers!
thanks so much Dawn. This walk was so restorative, to finally feel the coming of Spring. The next video is a good one, surprisingly uplifting experience for me. I think I've finally decided on the 100th walk, one that ties lots of things together. Hopefully doing it at the weekend, weather permitting
Another beautiful walk John, thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
Thanks for watching Neil - the next one is a corker too, a walk along the Loughton Brook
I have passed that mound countless times on that motorway and have always wondered what it is! Yet another answer from your brilliant channel! Thanks John.
Just enjoyed your walk while sitting in my air B and B room in Bow - off for a long 'derive' around East London tomorrow. Inspiring as ever, John.
great image Kate - hope you had a good East London drift, it's changing all the time

A great video, I really like the view and scenery you brought to audience. Seriously, I am amazed how beautiful your country is. Wish I could go there and have a walk with you. Pray you all the best and hope you stay healthy. Greetings from Malaysia!
thank you so much Chester. I had an amazing time in Malaysia back in the 90's and did some great treks.
Great walk 👍 ☺️
thanks Ronnie
"Never mind. The only way out is through." Good philosophy of life, that. Another great walk - thank you!
Always brightens my day when I see there's a new John Roger video - so, where are we off to today?
great to hear Douglas - I really enjoyed this walk
It's a great walk I'm walking the train line station to station.
Great walking with you John and friends,

Brilliant George- wonderful to reach out across that distance, lived in Sydney myself for a few years, wonderful city
Love the walk John. You bring a new insight to places I have known forever. Your enthusiasm even on a rainy day is palpable. 👍🏻
thanks Tom
Magical as always and thanks as always.
Great as ever. Glad you got to the pub, music too😊
Beautiful homage to the coming of Spring John, I keep expecting the Green Man to pop out of your landscape shots at any moment.
thanks Ross - praise be Spring, the spirit of the Green Man is with us all the way.

Great video John. I also love reading the comments, especially the one about Navestock Common. You really can learn something new every day! Keep up the good work, as i'm sure you will! Intrigued to know what will be the 100th.
Nicely done sir, great therapy on a cold and rainy day in the Niagara Region. Tks, Peter
Many thanks Peter - wonderful to think of it being watched so far away

Hi John ....the hairs on the back of my neck lifted in regards to walking with your father as a youngster, that's were I got it from,some happy times walking,where our ancestors walked .great film ,and the previous film.....interesting.
thanks Richard - really comes back to me more than ever, particularly when walking over the fields at sunset, harks back to some of my earliest childhood memories
you are a proper yob lol thanks john quality as usual mate ;ook forward to the next one steve that bagel lookedc the bow locks
ha, sometimes I have to give in Steven, I'd been doing so well too. That bagel was surprisingly good considering how far it was away from Brick Lane
Thank you for these films. I discovered your channel around 6 months ago and I've enjoy watching your informative, enlightening, gentle and engaging pieces. Your films are worthy of BBC 4.
You mentioned in the River Rodding film that you are writing a new book, when do you think this will be available?
Thank you very much hanian - the River Roding videos are here on my channel. I aim to finish the book by the end of the year
Hello John, back into my family history area again.Thanks. Good to see St Mary and All Saints Church, Lambourne. This was the place I used to take my wife for a place of Solitude when depression took over, and also as a child, i used to cycle to see the Bluebells which were in the wood to left to the front of the Church. No mention of Lambourne Hall that is opposite the church ? The bridleway you took , the green lane is known as Featherbed Lane.
Thanks for sharing that Roy. The church is so a peaceful spot, I can see why you sought it out. I did see Lambourne Hall on the map and can't remember why I didn't go there now - will have to return another time
Brilliant videos John, I watch while I am exercising on a treadmill. Do you travel light with just an oyster card and cash or do you carry waterproofs etc. in that backpack. All the best.
Many thanks Jason - I try to travel as light as possible but usually have some notebooks, book, maps, spare batteries, groundsheet, extra layer, torch, water etc. - probably too much stuff now I think about it
top stuff
Lovely John my area good one stay safe ..clive :)
thanks Clive - what a great area, love it round there
no ents this time, then 😊
Ever walked past hammonds farm in Stapleford abbots
possibly maddison, I've done a few walks through Abridge and down towards Hainault Forest. Is it of particular interest?
John Rogers yes it is oneday come to the farm one day and i will take you round
@@maddisoninwood5809 thanks Maddison I'd love that
no disrespect to anybody, but so happy to be in a zone where eating a great meat sarny etc is not a crime against humanity (or animals). ...anyway, back to the walk
