I parked in wakeham when i filmed this. I work from a depot on the island so very familiar with it. There will definitely be more videos from Portland. Thanks for your support.

Wow wat a coincidence. I'm back on aurora on the 21st for Christmas and New year. I'm guessing that's when you come off.

@ exactly! We disembark that Saturday, will try to leave it clean for you. 🤣 Åndalnes was stunning yesterday. Tromsø tomorrow!

We did the husky sledging trip in Tromso. It was an amazing experience. It was March when we did it though. You'll probably not get much daylight being so close to the shortest day. I'd be interested to hear what shore days are like in darkness.

@@JoeCoastal We did the northern lights coach trips in Tromsø and Alta. Unfortunately cloudy nights on both trips got the better of us on both days. However we did get a few good sighting of the northern lights we few evenings from the ship, and the ship had a dedicated TV channel for anybody that wanted to get notified of NL activity in their cabins over night. The lack of daylight didn’t take away from the magic of Norway in any way. Everything in Norway just seems to carry on as normal during the dark days. I guess it’s business as usual here, even with -12C temperatures during the day! There’s still a few hours of dusky light from around 12:00 to 13:30. However almost all houses have Christmas lights, which are on 24 hours a day which mitigates the darkness.

My wife used a pair of boots she already had and as we wasn't out in it for extended periods she got by OK. I did pick up a fairly inexpensive pair of snowboots from decathlon sports that along with warm socks kept my feet nice and warm.

We are going back to this place in June next year so it'll be interesting to see the difference in summertime.

Yes you're right. Someone pointed that out before. Silly mistake on my part.

@ I should’ve added that I spent many summers with my grandfather who lived on Marine Parade in front of the harbour. Your superb video brought back some great memories from my youth. Thanks very much and keep up the good work.

@spurs19531 thanks for the encouragement. I certainly will keep on doing it.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Is he really? Genuinely a drifter then I suppose. I'm subscribed to a website called epidemic sound. It's where content creators can get royalty free music. Bo has quite a few tracks on there. My sister thought it was a bad idea using that track as the lyrics are a bit negative. Personally I love the laid back way and ponderous flow to it and I that was a perfect match for the footage.

@@JoeCoastal Just beautiful footage! And "negative" can be ok. It was soulful :) It worked. I looked quite a bit. Pretty much all I found was the stuff on Epidemic Sound. He seems to be in the US, so I was trying to see if he tours (FYI...if you recall, I'm the American that was asking you for local advice about Weymouth back in June/July...I just changed my handle). I'm a big country fan and he just had a great sound!

@ashleenmb yes i remember you well but wouldn't have realised this was you if you hadn't said. I like to listen to a bunch of songs on epidemic and pick the one that makes me feel like that particular video does. I don't always find quite what I'm looking for but this on felt perfect. I remember some difficult times when I lived in London that on seeing some uplifting sights like these and hearing the words I ain't livin like this no more would have made perfect sense.

Thanks mate. Yes all good thank you. How about you?

@JoeCoastal not too bad mate thanks

Cheers mate. Yes it's a great song isn't it

Yes it has a very special place in my heart that's for sure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Marilyn. This was just after sunrise. It's true what they say about filming at that time of day. Perfect light.

I've just googled that and yes. Very similar. Have you been there? I was already part way through editing another video when we went to Devon and I filmed this just for fun. Looking at the footage though I just had to share it.

@@JoeCoastal Hi, yes I was there in september 2009. I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law while they studied in Melbourne for a year. And we went for a trip along the Great Ocean Road. We also visited Sydney and also Alice Springs, The Uluru (Ayer's rock) and King's canyon and Kata Tjuta (the Olgas). Great holiday 🙂 I will look for this view when I get there 😊

Sounds like a really special holiday. Yes you still have quite a variety of terrain to go before you finish this path. All beautiful in their own different ways .

@@JoeCoastal Yes, it was great to visit them and I really liked Australia 🙂 I am curious about the terrain further on along the path. But firstly I will have to get rid of my long lasting sciatica pain. Fingers crossed 🤞

@TravellingTorunn doesn't seem so long ago we were thanking our lucky stars that we were both still fit enough to walk. Now we both have issues. My hip started giving me trouble a couple of days ago.

Thanks. I was just practicing with it but I thought the footage was too good not to share.

Me too. The most annoying thing is apparently they were given the money to reinstate the roundabouts after the Olympics but never did it.

Funnily enough we were in Beer on Sunday and were going to pay a visit to pecarama but apparently it was closed. Just our luck.

Thanks, yes someone else pointed that out. A silly mistake that wasn't my first and won't be my last unfortunately.

@@JoeCoastal the video was really good it only that I've lived in Lyme Regis all my life that I mentioned it keep up the good work and thank you for filming Lyme Regis

@davecroad6277 thanks again. I'll be back to film Lyme again for sure. It's such a lovely place.

Ha ha that would be a brilliant story if it were true. They are actually beach huts. A friend of mine used to own one of them. I love the way the large pebbles have been used to create front gardens for them all. In fairness though if one or more of these were still used by smugglers I'd be none the wiser so perhaps you could be right 😉

Yes do. I'm sure you'll be glad you did. We'll be returning soon for sure.

Yeah I thought that was quite a good shot to introduce the new camera 😉 a few technical issues in the editing but got there in the end. Cheers Rob.

You can't not find it when you're following the coast path to be fair. I'd definitely recommend making it a stopover point though if it works out OK . What section will your videos be of?

​​​@@JoeCoastal I thought Beer was along the path, so I will probably find it 😊 We do take an extra night here and there, so I'll keep Beer in mind. This summer we revisited a few places we already have been to and loved. Zennor, Sennen and The Isles of Scilly. And we did some inland and coastal walks at all the three places. I am not too happy with all of the video files, partly due to a lot of noise here and there on many of the files. I will have to replace a lot of noise with other sounds where it is possible. Just a lot of extra work 🙄😊 But I should start soon. 😊

@TravellingTorunn Zennor and Sennon I've not been to for many years and he isles of scilly I've never been to so I look forward to seeing those videos. I don't think people realise how long the editing takes. Especially when something isn't quite right. I was in cornwall a couple of weeks ago (Beer is in Devon but was the same trip) spent ages getting loads of footage with the new drone, only to find the files wouldn't upload to my editing program. 🤷 I had to convert them all one by one, losing some quality in the process so not entirely happy with this video. Could have been so much better. HD rather than 4K but at least it's out there and not stuck on my computer frustrating me.

@@JoeCoastal agreed! 🌝 It can be a lot of detailed work and "jig saw" puzzling. But those drone shots of yours were really great. And I watched your video on my brand new 60" TV. Well done converting them 👍😊 You have now inspired me to start editing 😁

@TravellingTorunn well if it looked good on your 60" TV then it couldn't be bad. I'm glad I've inspired you. Let me know when you get one out.

You should have said before. I was about. Yes Beer is a lovely place. I was down your end a week before that. My next video was shot in a well known port not so far from Newquay 😉

@@JoeCoastal cheers Joe ... one day eh :)

I'll probably be coming to Newquay before too long. Maybe next summer. Cheers.

Hi Marilyn. It is such a lovely place. As you know I'm fortunate enough to visit so many lovely places so it surprises me how it makes me feel when I come here. It's definitely special. Yes I finally bought a drone. It's lovely to see these places from a different angle. Thanks again.

It does seem to be a rather overlooked spot. If I hadn't walked through on the coast path I may not have known about it myself.

Really? I didn't spot that. Must have been close to when they stopped operating from Weymouth too.

I don't doubt it mate. Weymouth gets in your soul.

Thanks for the offer. I know I don't make enough effort on my seo but to be honest the main reason my channel isn't more successful is the lack of new videos being released. Before I do anything else I need to find time to address that. Thanks for taking the time on me though.

@@JoeCoastal do You Know SEO? Do you know if anyone searches for your video on the top of KZbin? Are you interested .?

Yes a bit of a howler there. My memory is terrible with names to be honest. To be fair though, I saw recently that the BBC got it all wrong on the antiques roadshow. Their map had weymouth in Poole and apparently the d day museum was in Portsmouth and not Portland so if they can get it that wrong I don't feel too much of a failure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and to comment though. Sorry I let your very interesting book down with my inaccuracies.

@@JoeCoastal No worries mate. Thanks for mentioning it. ;)

@markvine7067 you're welcome. Cheers.

December is winter in Norway. I'm going back to this place next year in summer and from what I've seen there's no snow there at all then.

@@JoeCoastal yes, but my question is? that video is in december?

Sorry it doesn't read clearer. Yes this was in December which is definitely winter in Norway.

Well it certainly wouldn't have been cycleable that day that's for sure. There is a cycle route across the down though.

Also never knew the link to Pennsylvania! Somewhere I spent most of last year and almost moved to, place close to my heart and subsequently that area has become one of my favourite places in the country. I spend the nights in the car park in my van very quiet spot.

Yes lovely spot and let me know if you make a video there. I should warn you though that they are cracking down on van parking on the island so do your research before you come back again. There may still be places you can but they will probably be busy as it was becoming very popular. In particular by the heights Hotel.

In truth I've not racked up nearly enough miles this year and if you could see my stomach you'd mnow I'm right 😂😂 funny enough it never even occurred to me to try and find out why it's called Berry Head. Good luck with those walks. Which Swanage one was it you had in mind again?

@@JoeCoastal sorry for the late reply. I'm hoping to go from Swanage to dancing ledge along the coastal path and back. Just hope the knee will let me. I would like to say from Swanage to winspit quarry but I need to ease myself in gently.😂 I have always loved coastal areas they seem to really calm me down and just forget about everything for a while.

@robmains3736 that's just what it does for me. Can't explain how or why but it just does. If i remember rightly that's not the toughest bit of coast path so a good place to start.

@@JoeCoastal thanks Jo, that's good to know. So many coastal walks and routes to take. I definitely think you appreciate these places later in life, the scenery and the peace and quiet of the coast.

@robmains3736 I guess I've always appreciated the coast and country bu as we get older, maybe we have less distractions in our lives or we just prioritise better. Maybe it's just the realisation that if we don't hurry up and do the things we always promised ourselves we would, it'll be too late.

Cheers Glenn. We love Brixham. We first went there after the first lockdown, eat out to help out etc. Have now been back twice and will definitely be returning before too long.

I think there are two. The one you've seen and this one. I'd hoped to find the Time to go aboard and look around but it didn't work out that way. On the Saturday they had a pirate themed wedding aboard the ship. That looked fun. Brixham is so full of history. There are still some good stories I haven't told.

​@@JoeCoastal How nice that the ship can be used for weddings! I hope you get the chance to look around some other time 🙂 Looking forward to more stories 😃

@TravellingTorunn I realised you meant ship not shop. Predictive text can be a nightmare. And this is the age of AI too.

​​@@JoeCoastalhaha, I saw it later and have corrected it now. Glad you ubderstood 😄 AI is a bit scary...

😂 yes very scary. I watched a movie a couple of weeks ago called leave the world behind. Not AI exactly but our reliance on the Internet and cloud. You know how people say once you've seen it you can't unsee it. I'm so glad I wasn't born later.

We stayed near the harbour too. We shared a lovely house with 4 of our friends. The only downside was the hundred plus steps up to our place from town. Is that the part you stayed in?

@@JoeCoastal It was a little bit away from the harbour, bit still uphill. It's a very hilly place isn't it?

Yes very much so. I Don't mind the hills but those steps just behind the high street just seem to go on forever.

To be honest mate I was staying in the town so walked up there to start filming. I don't think there is anywhere particularly convenient to park near Berry Head.

@@JoeCoastal Cheers Joe.

@PaulCramo cheers.

Good luck for that. In honesty though I think slightly cooler than that day would be better. That one was just too hot.

Thanks Paul. The same to you and yours.

Thanks. Glad I included this fact as I've had so many people confirming it I'm left with no doubt.

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately I had an appointment to keep that day and never actually got to go down to the pool but I thoroughly enjoyed the walk.

Actually when I made this video I did park in the street rather than the car park. To be fair that's quite limited and you need to be there early. I went in January so it was pretty quiet anyway. Not sure if I remember this correctly but I seem to think the car parks were not open when all those pictures and stories were coming out in the Pandemic. They had massive problems with illegal parking too.

Is that Fort Henry? I filmed this about 3 years ago and back then only put little bits of history in. These days I do like to share a bit more of that.

To be fair though there's probably not a single video on the whole of youtube that tells of something that's not already known by more than the population of weymouth.

Oh sorry to hear that. Hope you're OK.

@@JoeCoastal yes I'm ok. Thanks for asking 👍 they are called dissociative seizures. Just due to the server depression and anxiety. It's why I couldn't do the coastal path on my bike. I had to go 3 months without a seizure and it's never happened unfortunately. Which is why I ended up selling my bike. I've had over 100 in 2 years. But aiming to try again in a couple of weeks. This is why I enjoy the videos so much. I love the coast, and if it wasn't for the videos I probably wouldn't know about most of these places. So thank you for the videos and the time and effort you put into them.👍⭐🎉

@robmains3736 Thanks Rob. I won't pretend that's the reason I make these videos but I have received comments from a number of people who for whatever reason can't get out there as they would like to and it's rewarding to know that my videos give them a taste of what they crave. I'll certainly continue. Actually I hope to increase my output over the next few months.

@@JoeCoastal I look forward to them as always.

@robmains3736 thanks again Rob.

Your right of course. Lulworth and Corfe seem to be far better known than the other two though.

@@JoeCoastal Absolutely. I'm quite surprised in the case of Tyneham though.

@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne to be fair I'd been visiting Dorset since childhood and didn't know about Tyneham until about 15 years ago. Even then I didn't discover the beauty of Warbarrow Bay for a few more years and it's just a short walk from Tyneham.

Hello mate. Nice to hear from you again. The weather has been terrible this year hasn't it. I've read quite a bit about Thomas Hardy and the things he's done. It seems he was friends with the reverend John Richard Clavell who build the tower and took his partner there for romantic weekends. Apart from that it's just a beautiful place. I'll have to look at your Hardys cottage video. We haven't actually visited it yet. Cheers Jon.

Mate it's definitely worth a visit. Make sure you see it. Nice to hear from you again.
