- The first day of my Norfolk Coastal Path walk. It is 85 miles long, stretching from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea. My trip took six days, and this first leg was from Hunstanton to Burnham Overy Staithe, taking in Thornham and Burnham. A great start.

My daughter Mia absolutely loves your videos (as do I). She’s 6 years old and loves going for walks and nature. She always asks me if there is another ‘Marek video’ to watch. We are looking forward to the next instalments of your Norfolk walk. We do love the confrontations with Sunglasses Marek 😎😂
I am so pleased she likes them. Good news there is a confrontation with sunglasses Marek in the next one. Although warning that I do use the phrase 'bloody' when doing an impression of my Grandad.
Ha, she knows that ‘grown up’ speak is ok when it’s for fun. She was so excited just then when you replied, you’re a big celebrity in our house! Keep up the good work.
Mia will be a member of the cool dudes walking club shortly. Maybe as an extra Xmas pressie. 👍🏼
Thanks
That is very kind cool dude. I loved this walk
Apparently there is a windmill in Thornham in the marshes which is submerged. Only visible at low tide. Sadly I didn’t see it.
That sounds cool. I would have loved to have seen that. I bet the bread in Thornham is a bit soggy though.
Good channel old bean. Top entertainment
Nice one. Thanks cool dude.
In an all-day meeting, so just dropping by to comment and like. I’ll be back to enjoy the Norfolk coastline and Marek’s struggles later 💪👍
Cancel all meetings. You need to prioritise.
I named my shotgun Bertha and we call those things tentworms here. Often found on berry bushes. Woohoo! I chose C. The game is saved.
This is excellent. The tent caterpillar. I just read up all about it.
Rewatching the series 😊
What a nice walk and the hat is looking extra cool.
Thanks cool dude.
We have two robot hoovers, yes two, fancy. They are called Ian ( Downstairs) and Bob ( upstairs).
Great names. I wonder if they have ever met. Also which one does the stairs?
They've never met, but there's certainly a sexual chemistry between them. The stairs remain dirty.
What’s up cool dudes? Hope you’re all staying safe and healthy ❤️
Nice one cool dude. Hope you are well too.
Marek thanks for the video, and, since you asked, the fluffy web things on Norfolk bushes at this time of year aren't made by spiders, but are the communal webs of the ermine moth. Those are the larvae you see inside. #naturefacts
This is an excellent fact cool dude. Thank you.
Rewatching. Lots packed into this one.
It is equivalent of the Lord of the Rings films all being condensed into ten minutes.
@@cdwc Exactly like that….and that would make you? 🧐 ??? Samwise? Because of the backpack. Am I right? 😁👍
I am much cooler than Samwise.
@@cdwc 😆😆😆 I might have to rewatch your cooking videos to judge how you say Potato 🥔🥰
I’m just about to do this trail 16th October will be wild camping it hopefully it don’t rain to bad
Good luck cool dude.
i been hunstanton loads of times :)
Red liquorice always reminds me of school swimming lessons, afterward we could buy from the tuck shop and they had red liquorice whips and karate belts. Great days.
Yes those karate belts were amazing. I used to save up my 10ps so I could get a Mars Bar on Wednesday and Friday (I think they were 18 or 20p). I would occasionally crumble and get a 10p Caramac. Did you know Mars Bars were 65g in the 1990s and are now 51g.
Why is this guy familiar? I’m planning this walk as I have a bungalow in Hunstanton as base camp and came across this video
Wow - random and charming.
Be careful what you give a name to as it can get creepy. One day I fed a hungry Pigeon/Rock Dove in my garden. I called it Allen. Allen Partridge. The next day I fed two pigeons. Not knowing which one was Allen I decided to call them both Allen. Over the last few years I now feed dozens of pigeons daily all called Allen. If you look out any window in my house there is at least one to a dozen Allen’s staring at me. They follow me room to room staring through the window. When I’m working they stand on the dog house outside my office window, tap dance slowly and stare at me. When I wake in the morning and open the blinds… dozens of Allen’s waiting for me. Now friends & family ask me how are the Allen’s. What can you say… fine thanks. When strangers come to my house they inevitably comment on the fat Pigeon sitting looking at us. I say oh that’s Allen. Everyone thinks I’m so weird because of my Allen’s. Then they say oh look there’s another and another. Wow they are really fat. I say oh that’s Allen, and that’s Allen too. I am surrounded dozens of fat flying stalker Allen Partridge’s. Anyway… now I can’t move because of the Allen’s. Who would feed the Allen’s. All because I named a pigeon.
This sounds like a prequel to 'The Birds'.
@@cdwc maybe I could get Steve Coogan to play the multiple roles of Allen.
Yay! Another vid. About to watch. 😊
Brilliant plant names. 😂I've got three cacti that are called Colin, Steve and Bruce and the fairy that we put on our tree is called Mavis.
I love the East coast and I think it's quite underrated in general . Last year we went on some lovely coastal walks and explore in the north east(Tynemouth and Marsden bay).
I have to explore the North East at some point. I expect Mini Marek would enjoy it.
@@cdwc 😂Yes, I'm sure he would. He's going to be visiting the black country museum on Monday. I know that it's not strictly a walk but I'm sure he'll enjoy it anyway. He just missed out on Cadbury world because he'd not been made at that point. Gah! 😁
Huh... I too have a Wango plant, I shall name it... Wango III in honor of your dual Wangos
I hope soon the world will be full of Wango's.
I love to name things. I have named several laptops. My current one is Evalyn-Essence. I've had Randal in the passed and for some reason I'm drawing a blank on other names. My tablet is named Sgt.Tabs. and my friend has named her two cars that she has had in her life Eddie and Frank.
The webbing you found looks like caterpillars. I've never heard of seahenge that's crazy.
Sgt.Tabs it a brilliant name for a laptop.
@@cdwc Aww thanks!
:stay cool: man such a good video. Can’t wait to folllow your trip. That’s one of the best names ever… le strange!! :cool dude:
Thanks Jag. Hope you are all well up there. Enjoying the videos.
Just come across your channel & subscribed. Love the video, looking forward to following the rest of your hike along the Norfolk coast.
Thanks cool dude. Will check out your channel. Looks pretty cool. Happy hiking.
Seriously good video, Marek. Loving the scenery, the sights and the sounds of the walk. The coast is dear to many on this wee island, it's so lovely to see the sea. Thanks Cool Dude!
Thanks cool dude. The scenery there is definitely unique. I already miss the paths that take you out over the flat marshes. Stay cool.
Definitely one I would love to do!
It is a great walk and flat thank god.
Nice one Marek.
Stay cool dude.
The misty morning start was very evocative. Good luck with the rest of the walk :)
I hope Hamon Styleman Le Strange would have been pleased with the evocative start.
A favourite part of England-saw Sea Henge when it was first discovered. Thanks and looking forward to it all.
Cool man. Would have loved to have seen Sea Henge out there.
Haha please keep us updated on Son Of Wango. Do the t shirts come in any other colour? Brilliant vlog cool dude
Thanks cool dude. Son of Wango is yet to sprout another limb. He is sitting opposite me at the moment and sends his regards.
Hamon......🤣🤣🤣 quite silence of the lambs drawing too, made me really laugh! Quite a good amount of stuff scored from the handbook too 🙌 nice one 😊
Poor Hamon. I did realise I made him look like a flesh slicing murderer.
Nice one cool dude! Huge improvement on the lunch there mate. Stay cool x
One day I will make myself a gourmet lunch and everyone will show me a lot more respect.
Did a little day walk on the stretch around Sheringham around the same time you were there, very beautiful walk cool dude. And the dressed crab I got from the little shack in the town was perhaps the best walker’s lunch I’ve had. Good luck with the rest of the walk Past Marek!
Yes I loved that little shack. I would only drive 60 miles to get there though (if I had a car).
How peculiar. Just yesterday I was looking at planning this very walk. Looking forward to seeing the next 5 episodes...its quite a feat! Stay cool
It's a good walk. Although the first half is the best.
Dead ringer for a Norfolk accent well done, did think the lizards name would be Alistair - but nice to see as looking to do the Norfolk coast path myself with and extra part of the coastal walk too 😀
It's definitely worth doing, and it's flat!!!!
Your hat always looks great, never doubt it. I haven't named my plants but now I want to. Good idea, I'll probably feel more inclined to water them.
Yes giving plants names definitely increases the feeling of neglect when you forget to water them about tenfold.
I think Sea Henge is in the King's Lynn Museum. They keep it in special climate controlled cases to stop the wood from drying out. I remember writing a story about for the Lynn News when I did work experience with them in the mid 2000s. Great video!
I would love to go and see it one day. I might make my own Sea Henge in the garden next time it rains.
Sunday morning marmite on toast with Marek. It could become a tradition. I've got a hat called Barry. I named him after my uncle when he passed away. Who wouldn't want a hat named after them?
Ps. If you print Geoffrey de Larwode (circa 1200ad!) on the back of your white T-Shirts I'd get one...
Barry is a great name for a hat.
I would love to put Geoffrey on the back of the T-shirts but that would cost more than I am selling them for.
@@cdwc For that I'd pay more than you're selling them for now :-) But I quite understand that anything like that carry's the potential risk of losses. Not ruled out buying a plain white anyway.
I just subscribed to your other channel this morning because you were one of the people featured on Chef Bucks channel. Your storytelling and video making are at such a high level, you put in a lot of work to make the viewer have a very enjoyable experience. I am going to enjoy your videos very much.
My 1994 Toyota Corolla, before I painted it after the South Florida sun had toasted all the paint off and the salt spray gave it a little rust was called the Moon Rover because it looked like something left on the moon for a long time. I have a tiny inflatable Intex 200 boat I call Flipper.
Moon Rover is a cool name for a car. Thank you for your kind words Robb. Have a great weekend.
Another delightful watch! Looking forward to the rest of the Norfolk costal path series!
I too name many household items/plants. All my cars have had names of course (we currently have George and Captain Tilly, but my first car was an old mini called Geraldine named after the goat in The Good Life, followed by my 2nd old mini Monty!)
However, the most stand out item I had was François. He was a blue Le Creuset baking dish my mom bought for me to take to uni...many a delicious pasta bake was made in François. He was sadly killed by a housemate of mine in a freak accident (he fell out the oven) and she kindly replaced him with a much larger Lakeland baking dish, who is affectionately known as 'Fake François'!
Also of note is Penelope my apple tree, who I grew from a pink lady apple seed in my first year at uni to have as a pet. She is planted in my mom's front garden in Cowes as she became to big for her pot some years ago, she's now over 10ft tall!
I love the Francois story. It is good his spirit lives on in Fake Francois, but I can't help feel sorry for Fake Francois. It feels like he is the less talented and unloved little brother.
I would also love to grow a tree completely from a seed. Well done cool dude.
Great video, beautiful nature✌
Thanks cool dude. You have a great channel too.
@@cdwc Thanks, cool dude👍
Welcome back to Norfolk Marek! I heard your Dads accent on a video a while back and I did wonder if there was a connection. I too am descended from hundreds of years of Dumplings (dear reader this is traditionally an affectionate term for a Norfolkian and not an insult…) and secretly I pretend my family goes so far back I absolutely MUST be a daughter of Boudicca and I am in fact Norfolk royalty 👑Anyway I’ve done this walk and I love it, although I’m looking forward to seeing what you made of the never ending shingle beach from hell near Cley and Weybourne.
Yes the Cley shingle beach was Day 3 of my walk, I am just editing it now. I don't think anyone can understand the awfulness of four miles of shingle just from the pictures.
I did the section from Hunstanton to Thornham in late July as a day walk. Really enjoyed learning about Seahenge. Did you find the cafe and and bookshop before you get to the only forested area at the Holme Dunes? Hope you enjoyed your walk Marek. Stay cool.
It's in the next video I think 'The Lookout'. Sadly I got there before it was open.
My car is called Severus, my van is called Stan Meadowcroft.
I googled Stan Meadowcroft. The character from Dinner Ladies.
@@cdwc That's him 👍😉
Slam dunk the junk, pick it up
(If you got that feeling)
Slam dunk the junk, pick it up, pick it up.
I can't be the only one to have sung that. Ha! Great video as usual cool dude. Cheers!
Thanks cool dude. Five more to come.
@@cdwc
Great video Cool Dude & well done on capturing the Sunset & some interesting info about East Coast Sunsets too! I keep playing the beginning over & over again just to see the Sunset! A cool close up of the Lizard & Blackberries, (did you stop to pick any blackberries?)
I like your 'Son of Wango' cutting, you've just reminded me I need to take Bizzie Lizzie & Geranium cuttings. I don't have much luck with houseplants, they tend to wilt on me probably caused by overwatering, think I need to start singing or talking to them!😀
Object names - I call my Fiat Panda, My little Pandy!🚘
Down the middle - I chose B....oops!
Looking forward to Episode 2 Cool Dude!
Take Care & Stay Cool!🙂🚶♂️
Good name for a car. I didn't pick any on the walk, but I have pretty much picked all the ones on the Isle of Wight for my Mum's blackberry and apple crumbles.
The sunset at Hunstanton was beautiful. Stay cool dude.
@@cdwc Blackberry & Apple Crumble with Ambrosia Devon Custard is certainly delicious! 😋
Woohoo 1 out of 6 challenges completed
So I chose B . Great video . I will watch the whole series to see whether it goes on my list of walks to do . Looks a bit flat for me
It is definitely pretty flat. That is a good thing though right?
I have named all of my hard drives for about 20 years, currently on the go are Bernard and Winston (plus back up Nina), previous ones include Archibald, Iggy, Jim & Hubert.
Naming hard drives is an excellent idea. Do you name them alphabetically like they do hurricanes?
Been there, drank at the original Lord Nelson pub in Burnham Thorpe where Horatio use to drink. It was called The Plough but after the English deafeted the French in the naval wars on the River Nile over the cotton trade in the late seventeen hundreds. So in his honour it was renamed The Lord Nelson.🏴🇬🇧
That looks like a great pub. Good facts cool dude.
@@cdwc It is pal and if you go to the Church over the Field opposite the pub the Royal Navy Ensign flag is in there along with Nelsons parents who was buried inside after they passed away. Nelsons father was the parishioner of the church and it was built by flint collected in the surrounding feilds.
New cool dudes video, what a way to start the morning!! My sister has named her car Myles which I very much approve of 🚗
Ps I'm out of the hunt for the freedom of Norfolk already as I wrongly anticipated you attempting a panenka pen :(
Excellent name.
As for the penalties. Norwich have had several penalties saved by going straight down the middle. I think the percentage chance of getting through all six challenges in this one is about 0.2%.
good day marek i chose straight down the middle i so underestimated your tactual awareness being a Norwich fan good going cool dude 👍
I'll be playing for Norwich by the end of the season if they carry on like this. Stay cool Daz.
@@cdwc 🤣🤣
There was a patchwork owl in the window of a house on the walk through to Quarr Abbey, that me and my nan named the oggle boggle!
Good name. Hello Oggle Boggle.
With regards to that penalty, I'm sure you'd still have scored with option B, if De Gea was in goal. He proved in the Europa League final that he's hopeless with penalties.
(Speaking as a United fan)
But I enjoyed this first day on the coast path. I've been thinking about doing the West Highland Way next year but maybe I should consider this...
Looking forward to Part 2. Hope you have a good weekend, Marek.
I've been thinking about the West Highland Way too as well as the Cotswold Way. The Norfolk Coastal Path is good, although I think they could have just left it with the original route to Cromer at 45 miles, as the second half was not that great as you'll see.
What's your favourite Norwich City moment, Marek? Mine is when they beat Bayern Munich away in '93 - with both goals from the Welshmen - Goss and Bowen.
Yes, that was probably the best. My favourite players have been - Crook, Huckerby, Hoolahan and Pukki. The 3-3 comeback against Forest on Boxing Day a few years back was a great game.
You were just up the road from me 😊 I'm in Lynn. Next time you're local let me know and I'll buy you a pint.
Nice one dude. Thank you. I am sure I will return one day.
Lynn for the Wynn! Represent!
That looked good, did you see many people on the route, seemed quiet from the video.
It was a Sunday so I think there were a few more than there would usually be around Hunstanton, Brancaster and Burnham.
One day, one of those 'I helped a strange man' badges will be mine.....oh yes.
The greatest badge of all time.
I bet the sea henge was actually some sort of pen to keep trapped fish in.
This is a very good call.
Norwich City Football Club update. They now have 2 points...
I have put a 50p bet on them to beat Chelsea at 15-1.
I named my car (green Micra) Minty 😊
Nice name cool dude. I don't have a car, but if I did I would definitely name it.
My old computer was called Penfold. RIP Penfold.
My thoughts are with you.
Our dishwasher is called Denzel Washington
That is a truly fantastic name. Hello Denzel.
It's a shame that that Britain's largest joke shop was closed, I would have loved to have seen in side that. Every joke shop I have been in has always been really messy and disorganised. Did you pick any of those Brambles?
I've been watching this adventure in reverse and after you told us the price of the hotel in episode two I did think that you should buy a light weight tent and just camp in a field or a beach.
Wait until you see the weather on Day Six, then you will rethink that camping advice. Ha. I never get any sleep camping, and not carrying the extra weight is worth it. Plus camping sites seem to have tripled their prices too!
:staycool 😆
I could do with the freedom of Norfolk now as I am off there this very morning assuming my partner ever stops putting stuff in her bag and taking it out again.
You need to show her some minimalist packing videos.
I was hoping to know more about 'britains largest joke shop' as featured at the start of your video 😂 Was it closed?
I was up too early. I would have loved to have looked round it. I expect they had whole aisles of itching powder and whoopie cushions.
I went in as a kid, decades ago. It’s fabulous.
Morning Marek. 🙂👋
Guten Morgen.
@@cdwc tricky language.... you're doing well. 😄😀👍😎
cd # 219 and i (cd # 108) call 219's phone "The Precious" because she was a relatively late adopter of the smartphone, but once she got one - gold finish, of course - it never left her palm and her eyes were constantly gazing at it.
Phone addiction definitely makes people look more like gollum.
I'm going to binge all the episodes of the Norfolk Coastal Path walk and I'm hoping for many gratuitous bird shots.
(good start with the seagull on the bin)
The name of our new car is Creighton.
Great name cool dude.
C!!!!
Well done. Great penalty.
OCEAN DRIVE......DONT KNOW WHY...YOURE SO BLUE, THE SUNS GONNA SHINE ON EVERYTHING YOU DOOOOOOO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’m going to try the challenges from memory rather than cheating 😂
Reckon that might have been a newt, so you MUST call it Tiny........ cd#123
Yes I think it might have been too. I don't really know how to differentiate between them.
A- to the left
What Brand of Hoover is Hubert Jizzman?
A Shark.
@@cdwc Thank you for your prompt reply, I walked ‘The Clarendon Way’ during the summer. Have you thought about that walk?
Hi Marek
Do you use Airbnb to find your accommodation ?
Yes for some of it. I sort of worked out how far I could walk each day and tried to find accommodation as near as possible. For some of it I had to book hotels which were a bit of a rip off.
@@cdwc thanks for the reply. I know what you mean, I’m planning on doing the walk next year being a Norfolk boy myself it kinda needs to be done. But some of the prices now are stupid, cheeper to go abroad than to walk around my own county. 🙄
I agree some of the prices were crazy. And in Cromer all the B&B's were doing a two night minimum so I had to book a more expensive hotel. The hotel in Burnham Market was an absolute rip off, and they were quite rude and breakfast was not included when I had paid £95 to stay there. You could always camp, but I loathe camping.
@@cdwc how dare you expect breakfast from a bed and breakfast 🤣 I don’t mind camping for a night or even two but wouldn’t want to do it for the week. Thanks for the advice and for the videos, really enjoy watching them. Keep up the good work.
:cooldude
:staycool
I think it only works for the paid members on youtube cool dude.
Went down the middle.
In my defence, what is football?
Don't worry, this challenge is almost impossible.
Just check if the new emojis work on old videos.
:cooldude
:staycool
Lol nope! 😆😆😊
I think there is a bug with Australia and youtube uk, as even though you are a member on youtube there is no badge by your name.
@@cdwc that can’t be it because I’ve got the Fully Charged badge and they’re UK 🤷♀️
I think it might be a colon either side. I am just trying to work it out. Ha
@@cdwc :cooldude:
:staycool:
Can you tell I’m trying to up your interactions to help with the algorithm?
I always "slam dunk my junk"
Ha ha. I usually gently place my junk and try to avoid touching other people's junk in the process.
@@cdwc well I guess it's just crabs and people with crabs. Lots of crab on this walk Marek!
Would you like to name me? In case I have to go into witness protection or something and need a new identity.
Yes, your new name is Pauline Piss.
How is that pronounced?
I’m quite chuffed that the emojis finally work for me 😊
Only took 2yrs, 3months & 27 days to post them
