And a very Merry Christmas to you two too!

Hi Sue, I would hate to think what it looks like in the height of summer we couldn't get into one gun pit as it was. It is still used by the owner for storage that's why you can access most of it, and if you look on the internet I think it gets a few visitors from time to time despite it's remote location. Thanks for commenting ATB Steve.

Hi Jim, yes very overgrown! We choose to do this type of exploring in winter as the foliage has died down a bit, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to film or move around it. Thanks for commenting, ATB Steve.

Ho ho ho Tony, thanks for your compliment and thanks for commenting! ATB Steve.

Hi Sue, yes we had an unsuccessful day in Yarmouth trying to find an anti-aircraft gun battery. Not much can be said RE this pillbox as I think it's largely self explanatory. Thanks for commenting, Steve.

Hi again Sue, yes I'm getting some good feedback on this one. Glad you enjoyed it, ATB Steve.

Hi Jones-xx2gc, thanks for commenting and I'm glad you enjoyed it! ATB Steve.

According to the book 'Silent Sentinels', along with another pillbox the other side of the A47 they are; 'A pair of hexagonal First World War pillboxes' and only 3 of this type exist in Norfolk. If look inside they are of a different design to the later but similar Type 22. Thanks for commenting.

Hi Jon, I would love to got to Lincolnshire "Bomber County' but as you say most of it's gone. I'll have to do a lot of research, there most be a few hidden relics somewhere. Thanks for commenting, ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 Yea the history is everywhere if you seek it out. Pill boxes, anti aircraft placements, airfields, the whole 9 yards. If you get a chance visit East Kirkby, Lincolnshire Aviation museum. It’s fabulous. Spend the day there and you’ll also learn where all the other WW2 stuff is/was, save you lots of time on research because they’ve done it all for you. 👍

Wow watching all the way from Brazil, I am glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the compliment! Thanks for watching and commenting. ATB Steve.

Hi Martin, I wish the world was more peaceful too! It must have been nice living in that area as a child, lots more to see then I bet. It's good you still get back occasionally, I would imagine you notice the changes. Thanks for commenting, ATB Steve.

Hi Claire, I remember cycling to the old airbase about 20 years ago when the runway was more intact. I also think a lot about the men and women who served at these bases, they can be quite atmospheric! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and learnt something, these old bases are very peaceful nowadays unlike the hive of activity they were back in WW2. Thanks for telling me bout your grandfather, I would love to have met him. Thanks for commenting and I hope you look through my other videos on WW2 in Norfolk, there's more to come so keep an eye out! ATB Steve.

Hi Jim, yeah I was quoting the 1940's lol. Bit of a grim day but got some good shots though, been out much lately? Thanks for commenting ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 ouch! 1940's. I went out today for a short walk at Blean woods. Going to do a video on the autumn colours. So hopefully have it done by the weekend. ATB

I shall look forward to that Jim, I might do a walk in the cold myself this winter! ATB Steve.

Hi Mark, that's nearly all the buildings there are left now sadly. There's plenty of old Nissen huts all round Norfolk mainly in farmyards though! Thanks for commenting, and yeah we need to remember their endeavours I hope this is a small tribute to them all. ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 Time takes its toll then steve - as expected. A pleasure to watch and comment.

Hello again, here's my email address; [email protected] it's really no big secret. Just drop me an email to establish a link, I look forward to hearing from you and having a look! ATB Steve.

Hi John, what a coincidence eh! I only planned this route the day before but I had been meaning to use the Lynn Ferry for a while, the short answer is, it's a bit tricky. I had no problem as my bike is quite light, getting on in West Lynn is easier than getting off in Kings Lynn. Just be aware that the ferry is tethered on the West side but he just buts it up against the steps the other side. I don't think you'll have a problem just tread carefully when you get off. Enjoy your journey and I can highly recommend the traffic free route in Kings Lynn if you go that way it was really safe and enjoyable. Thanks for commenting and please let me know how you get on! ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 Thanks for the speedy reply. It sounds like I will have to debag to make things easier. Yeah, those steps on the East side look dodgy; and knowing my luck that Gate 13 number may come into play. Now I'm not fancying it so much, but that may change when I get a lighter bike. The traffic free route did look good in the video, and it is on my route towards the north coast! I'll let you know how I get on with it, when I manage to get up Kings Lynn way. Thanks again.

Hi again! Yes I will slow it down next time(I'll just go a bit slower) Karen said she can't watch it! Thanks for commenting.

Hi Sue, glad you enjoyed it yes I can cycle fast can't I. Thanks for commenting.

Same for me with the motion sickness!! 😅 The previous one did as well, but they’re great aren’t they?

Hi Jim, yes I'm getting the message now I need to slow down lol! The scenery is lovely at this time of year, thanks for commenting! Got out on your bike lately? ATB Steve.

@Invictaman-62 I have done a couple of bike trips but not yet got around to doing the videos. Gotta pull my finger out. Lol ATB

Hi Dave, yes I've got a Osmo Action 4 and I love it! Thanks for commenting, hope you are both well. ATB Steve.

@ yes we all ok thanks hope you are all well as well. I am thinking off changing to a osmo as my GoPro needs a upgrade 👍👍🍺

I've never used a GoPro but I looked at all the reviews and the Osmo came out better over all! The 5 is out now don't know what's the difference though.

Hi Jim, yes I wish I had filmed more of my rides this year and in the past (had I had an action camera) I've got another ride to edit and I'm making another WW2 video today. Yes I had to clear up any confusion with the Ali G thing lol. Thanks for commenting, ATB Steve.

Hello again, if you click on the description to my channel where it says 'more' it says view email address it should come up when you select it. Let me know again if you have problem.

@@Invictaman-62 Right, I'm probably being thick but tried again and it tried to share your youtube channel via an email and wanted me to enter recipient!?

Hi again norfolknchance.500, we like to inject a bit of humour in our videos as life is a bit too serious! Just looked up RAF Hopton as I've never heard of it, looks interesting though. Many places to explore, so look out for more videos this winter! Thanks for subscribing, ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 Thanks, I do like your style, glad I could have enlightened you to a snippet of knowledge of which you weren't aware! Another little nugget that you might find interesting, if you don't already know, is the "pill box" that is built into a house in Acle, it's an unusual one I believe, can be found on Google search!? Anyway take care guys, will get email to you soon with that other info/location! Cheers, Ray.

Hi norfolknchance, as far as I know US bases even today are still MOD property the yanks just lease them (i worked at Mildenhall for 27 years).Your hole in the ground could be several things, if it was a concrete circle with a small square in the middle it could have been a Picket Hamilton fort. There was normally 3 of them for airfield defence. I can't think what else it could be, was it deep? Possibly an air raid shelter! The day we went the weather was crap, so a return maybe necessary for a deeper explore when the foliage dies down a bit. If you can remember the location can you let me know via email, my address is the description (I think). Thanks for commenting there will be more old airbases coming soon. ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 I do indeed know exactly where it is but it could be a little hard to explain exactly where, as it is a pretty non descript stretch of road really, but would do my best and will do later in email! It is an open brick structure and "looks like" a well, but I'm sure it isn't for many reasons as I'm sure you would agree once you saw it, it is a little away from muck lane but not as crow flies, anyway will try my best to explain in email when I can! Thanks.

Thanks, I'll look forward to receiving the email.

Yes he has his uses, thanks for the compliment. I like to think they are improving, the programme I'm using has many tutorials on KZbin which helps a lot. ATB Steve.

Hi Jim, I'll look forward to seeing it hopefully the weather will be in your favour it's bloody lovely here i've just been out on my bike. Thanks for commenting! ATB Steve.

Thanks, did you like your cameo role? ATB Steve.

Hi Jim, yes it's my Poundland drone (extended selfie stick) we're really going to do a lot more of this type of explore this winter so keep your eyes out. Part 3 will be uploaded next weekend, what you up to at the moment? ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 it may be a pound land drone but it was effective. As for me, I'm not doing a lot, sitting at home feeling sorry from myself, lol. I'm tempted to get that new DJI drone ( Neo), but will I get to use it as I don't get out much these days 🤐. ATB

Yes Jim, KZbin needs another of your videos! I may invest in a drone in the future as it adds another dimension to the videos. ATB Steve.

Yes, but hopefully not this area. In the previous video the field in front of the tower is where the main development will take place 3800 houses with school etc. If you look in the background of this video you can see it's already started. Thanks for commenting!

Yes very true, especially as this one will disappear within 10 years! X

Hi Jim, thanks for the compliment. No, It's the built in mic on the Osmo Action 4 really great little camera! I'm really pleased with my upgrade as the images are really sharp considering it's on 1080. The next two episodes will be uploaded in the next week or so. Thanks for commenting and I hope you are both well! ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 I'm well impressed with the sound, my action 3 is no where near as good especially if there is a bit of wind. Have you changed your channel name?. I made a little video of our walks with a AI created sound track dedicated to you but might have to change it now, lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2ikh6yGfpmEkKcsi=Utz7f57cq4YvWZxq. Not made it public , see what you think. ATB

Hi Jim, only just spotted your comment I changed it to this name a few months ago so that may explain. I'll take a look now thanks. ATB Steve.

Thanks Tony, you were a really great assistant you might appear in episode 2! Thanks for commenting. Steve.

Hi thanks for the information, I must admit when we were exploring the whole area was completely overgrown and finding other buildings was almost impossible. We did say at the time we would return in the winter to further explore. I didn't know where the guns were mounted, we'll look for the other building on our return. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Dale, I believe it was well used in WW2 and long after a work colleague used to play in it when he was a youngster. Thanks for commenting!

You'd be amazed how many must walk past it every day and not have a clue about it's history, but they often wonder what it is though! Thanks for commenting.

Hi NorfolknStealth, I thought when we were there it would be a great stealth camp spot! Yeah the tank art was quality too! Thanks for commenting.

Hi Chris, I'll check that out and thanks for commenting!

Hi Suzanne, thanks for your comment! Really getting used to the new camera and laptop programme. More on the way!

It helps when your driver can hear the operator!

Good luck with the walk, I plan on doing it myself one day. Thanks for commenting.

Hello again Jim, 5 in 3 days! I have now cleared my backlog so I can look forward to making plenty more now I'm set up. Thanks for the compliment, I'm getting used to Imovie now it's really intuitive for me as it's no too complex. No copyright strikes as I use CreatorMix, it's a free site and all it's music is royalty free check it out. When's your next video? ATB Steve.

Hi Jim, I bought a new camera then my computer went kapput so I've built up a backlog so I'm catching up now. Great getting out and about all over Norfolk, going places we've never visited before and many more places to go as well. How's the hip? Hope you can get out soon, thanks for commenting. ATB Steve.

@@Invictaman-62 bloody technology, always let's you down when you need it most. It's great to hear you got a backlog to work on, so I'm looking forward to seeing them. The hip is not too bad at the moment, the doctor reckons I will have good periods along with bad but expect more and more bad periods as time goes on. Not bad enough for hip replacement yet. I am hoping to get out to do a short walk soon, while I can. Take care.

Hope to see a walking video soon then! Hope the hip gets better so we can do a walk, I've really missed walking in Kent this year I haven't even been down yet. ATB Steve.

Thanks Tony, it must have been a dot in the distance!

Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoy all the newly uploaded videos! Hope you guys are keeping well.

@@Invictaman-62 Hi yes like the new video with the music. All good down here thanks 👍

You need to stay out of Mcdonalds then!!

Thank you sir!

Glad you enjoyed it!

No not really, lol. Keep your eye out for part 2 though! We should return within a few weeks.

@@Invictaman-62 I will look forward to it. 👍

I love it too!
