We were in Charlestown on tuesday Gary and we always visit the Rashleigh Arms for their lovely fish & chips. Its their annual Regatta and Carnival on thursday which we are going to see. We've also stayed in Wadebridge before, i just love everythig about Cornwall and so happy that we are here for another week and we have already booked for next year, trouble is i never want to go home 😂 Thank you for that lovely chat and walk. Janice.
That looks to be a nice relaxing walk, a walk like that is meant to be enjoyed. Taking in all the scenery and appreciating it all especially when you go back to chugs .And it's great to get some alone time.
Well that was awesome to see,brought back so many memories for me. I grew up in the village of Burlawn just outside of Wadebridge that was 60 plus years ago now living in Florida, do miss it so thanks for sharing all of your Cornwall adventures it's been fantastic, love the channel too!
That was quite busy with bikes that day. We cycled from Wadebridge to Padstow the week before and it was quiet. Next time we will cycle from Wadebridge to Bodmin. Apparently there is a pub halfway along. Wadebridge is lovely. In fact, when we were house hunting, we were looking in Wadebridge. You must have been worn out after that walk. xx
I did enjoy that walk. I don't think I have ever seen so many people on bikes before, shame they don't slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery as they go along. Thank you. Cheers.
The smell of the sea air and the fresh looking country side trails looked so tranquil, but for the passing cyclists that almost run into you, was exhilarating to the soul. Great Vlog Gary. It almost feels like we're back in the 70's. 😎
I used to spend my summer holidays in Charlestown . A family friend call Mrs Dutton lived in a cottage opposite the pub . She owned the Duchy pottery just up the road , producing ceramic souvenirs. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories . Back in the 1970s the harbour was a working port for the China clay . We lived in Cheshire and the M5 used to finish at Bristol making it a 12 hour drive . 🙏
@@GaryCaptainPhillips the Schooner that appeared in the TV series “ The Onedin line “used to be moored there . In the 70s it was a rather plain working port compared to neighbouring towns such as Mevagissey and Polperro . At high tide the lock gate would lay flat and allow China clay ships into the basin , seeing them navigate the tight turn was fascinating.
Hiya Gary I’m in Looe at the moment visiting from Liverpool. I’ve never been to Cornwall before & it’s an eye opener cos it’s very beautiful. Anyway hope you Nicki & the kids are having a wonderful time. Looking forward to seeing you back on chugs 👍👍
Great vlog Gary a memory teaser for us. We walked the camel trail many times or sometimes getting bikes from padstow to do camel trail Thanks for another great vlog Full of knowledge and a pleasure to watch thanks Michael and jenny xx
I thought the tour de France was going on, alot of people are not interested in history, they couldn't care less. You see alot of history along the canals, I don't live in England and I wouldn't see any of the scenery along the canals and learn about every place only for you and people like you. I'm from across the water where the little people live.
My husband and I cycled the camel trail many years ago , we always visit Cornwall in April when it’s not so busy. We like walking but small leisurely walks as we are older now.
Thank you for sharing, young fella. Very different from your canal life,,,,,but still enjoyable. We are in Japan,,,and it is wonderful for me, that my wife can see the beauty of the UK. Dont get me wrong, Japan is an incredibly beautiful country, especially where we live on the rural coast of the Sea of Japan,,,,but it is so unbelievabley different...Thank you young fella, we enjoyed that.
I'm loving the 'young fella' bit hehe... I'm sure Japan has its beauty but I don't think a lot of people appreciate their own surroundings... cheers Ian
Enjoyed I watch the pier house camera enjoy seeing the sun rise as I am going to sleep poldark was filmed here too reason I found the camera online but they kept the view closed off with trucks so never saw them filming
7:05 Female horse flies will give a nasty bite Gary, (We call them cleggs in Scotland) You don't usually feel them landing on you and the bite will itch for days!!
Just way to short. Lov all ur videos Pls. U don’t.hav an ugly mug even when kiddling How r nicky n Noah n Lilly? Can we meet Val n her man again? Wat a wonderful place to live. That walk u took was beautiful. That was a long walk. Yikes. I’m not sure I could do it

Lovely walk, lovely countryside. Thanks for sharing!
Some lovely scenery here. Thanks for the view.
It looks so good there Gary, and loads of interesting history too. Thanks for sharing all this with us.

No worries Margaret... loved it there

Its a lovely walk but I do wish there was more railway memorabilia on route to remind everyone of its past

It was a very long walk and I only had my thin shoes on so I felt every stone on the way back, infact Nicky picked me up about a mile from the house x
@@GaryCaptainPhillips Aww, painful. I'm glad Nicky picked you up. xx
Beautiful vlog Captain Gary, thank you.Take care and keep smiling x
Thanks Cat
I did enjoy that walk. I don't think I have ever seen so many people on bikes before, shame they don't slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery as they go along. Thank you. Cheers.
Apparently they're doing it for exercise but most of the bikes were electric hehe
@@GaryCaptainPhillips Helps on the hills I guess...:)

Some of those bikes really did come close lol
Wow, that's a very long walk! You must be fit. Must be all those locks!
Lol they're great exercise, I do lots of walking but don't always film it
Didn’t know so many films had been filmed in Charles town interesting 🤔 a lovely walk along the camel trail nice indeed thanks gary
There were a lot more too Philip... lovely place
@@GaryCaptainPhillips indeed looks amazing 🤩

So much history there, the clay stores are still there but the fishing boats are now gone too

Youre not too far away Lee, hope you're enjoying your stay bud
yeah its been great thanks especially Polperro & Talland bay. Really nice places
Great vlog Gary a memory teaser for us. We walked the camel trail many times or sometimes getting bikes from padstow to do camel trail
Thanks for another great vlog
Full of knowledge and a pleasure to watch thanks Michael and jenny xx
Aww thank you both, its a lovely walk
There is a Train Simulator Withered Arm route available that features Padstow to Wadebridge plus more from Swamprail
I had a train sim years ago and loved it, I wonder how accurate it is

I presume you're in Ireland if you are I've never been. I wish the Camel trail had more railway history to show its story
I am in Ireland ,a lot of it's history must have been lost along the way, which can easily happen. People throw things out. Stories are forgotten
Just lovely, thank you Gary.
My husband and I cycled the camel trail many years ago , we always visit Cornwall in April when it’s not so busy. We like walking but small leisurely walks as we are older now.
I'm loving the walks around here, so peaceful

Loads of films etc were filmed there, it was quiet on the day we went as they were getting ready for a festival
@@GaryCaptainPhillips Hi Sela i also watch the Pier House Webcam its beautiful early morning and that Ice cream van doesn't half make some money 😂
@@littleoldme205 oh yeah the ice cream van always makes me walk to my freezer
Pier house is closed because of covid
@@selajoan9131 Really? We were going to go in there on friday but it was really busy so we went to the Rashleigh instead.
Beautiful vlog just watch the two wheelers lol
I should be spinning a hola hoop to keep them away lol
Ha ha or wear a bell around your neck. Be safe and have a great day together
Wow six miles
Then six miles back
7:05 Female horse flies will give a nasty bite Gary, (We call them cleggs in Scotland) You don't usually feel them landing on you and the bite will itch for days!!
I've had a couple of bad bites over the last few days and you're right I never felt them bite once
wow Gary - I'm impressed with how much walking you're doing - and you were lucky that horsefly didn't bite you - they;re dreadful bites
I was really lucky as he was a big one... I'm loving the walking
Nice one Gary that’s some walk them bikes shift don’t thi They don’t like slowing down for know one Cheers Gary 🙂🐶🌟🐶✌️
Most of the bikes where electric matey, they were like silent motorbikes
Lovely area but now I know why my Cornish friends stopped walking the Camel 🐫 Trail.
Lol its ok first thing in the morning but the shop I needed wasn't open then unfortunately
Very good video bud
Cheers John
