Thanks for these videos, I've recently started photography so it's really cool to see some local spots to explore

That's really good to hear! If you need further inspiration I run a Facebook Group where people upload photos and places daily - might be of interest and I'd love to know how you get on! facebook.com/groups/400948317956198

Great video Marc. It is amazing how many pillboxes there are on that "line". Yep, shorts and nettles just don't go together!

Hi Dave, I found a few minutes of film on a camera from an aborted walk. Thought I'd try and squeeze 5 minutes out of it, so not the best but thank you. I need to do the proper long walk really so thanks :-)

just discovered your channel, great videos. The first Pillbox in this video was next to a place we lived in for a while, you can see the roof . My Children spent many a day in that Box. there was another not far away, along the old Railway line.
living in New Zealand now. keep up the good work...

[@robertgarrett4046]

THIS AREA OF RINGWOOD IS FAMILIAR TO ME AS I WAS BORN NOT FAR FROM WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING AT THESE WW2 PILLBOXES / AIR RAID SHELTERS.

[@TrexplorerUK]

Thank you Robert. I believe there are a lot more in the area, but on private land. I hope to see those one day too, but would need to ask permission first.
