A Walk up the Great Orme in Llandudno | North Wales Walks

[@daveheys2699]

Woohoo, cant believe I won the Prize Draw! What a way to start the weekend. Keep up the great videos!

[@AdeAitch]

This group of North Wales walks has been cracking. Definitely added to my to do list. Best Bond: Dalton Next Bond: Matt Berry

[@cdwc]

They are fantastic walks cool dude

[@indobleh]

Can you make these about an hour long, thank you Oh and well done to person who got the Red Squirrel picture !

[@Joiujzd]

I commend you for walking up the hill. I'm so unfit at the moment I'd have rolled right back down.🙈

[@EccentricAuntWanda1]

"Well, well, well", the Next Bond should be Sunglasses Marek.

[@cdwc]

He definitely has the sex appeal.

[@Ces1um]

Suave… debonair…epitomy of physical fitness. I agree- sunglasses Marek

[@MoreModeratePeril]

Surely the next Bond villain?

Nice one cool dude, lived at the cottage at 8:45 for 10 years .... magical place

[@cdwc]

Excellent. What a wonderful place to live cool dude.

[@DavidEarlDetects]

Thanks

[@cdwc]

Thanks David! I love your new channel. Hope you are doing well mate.

[@DavidEarlDetects]

@@cdwc thanks mate! Loving your channel, as always. I'm going to attempt the Two Moors Way on my tod. Did the South West Coastal path last Sept. Well, 80 miles of it.

[@cdwc]

@@DavidEarlDetects Holy shit that is 117m. Good luck dude. Vaseline those feet.

[@johncollins2028]

Brilliant thanks 😊

[@cdwc]

Glad you enjoyed it cool dude

[@stribs1]

Nice walk dude. Going up tomorrow. Best Bond, Connery, Bond I'd like to see, Matt Lucas!

[@cdwc]

Have a good walk cool dude

[@thursdayschild2256]

Roger... All day. Clive Owen or, the doctor out of Brassic 😃 What a lovely walk. I've driven up but next time will definitely walk. It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing Cool Dude 😊

[@PhillDoesFishing]

As your a cool dude, I think you'd make an excellent bond.

[@cdwc]

This should have more likes.

[@raybeer5213]

*you're, NOT your. Basic grammar. 🤣

[@conwy_water_gardens]

You did well walking up that side of the Orme, it is incredibly steep! North Wales is brilliant for walking and the views are great, although most of it does end up on a hill.

[@Countrystock]

I’m with you on the best James Bond.......definitely Sir Roger. Nice one 👍

[@neildavenport]

Favourite bond is definitely Timothy Dalton! Wish he’d done more films.

[@cdwc]

I agree cool dude.

[@peterkelly9669]

Brilliant! I loved it. I will definitely be doing that walk 🤗

[@cdwc]

Highly recommended.

[@robingeorge1969]

That was a really lovely walk Marek, north wales is truly stunning and has all that amazing history! Glad you’re keeping up the Welsh cake consumption - quick tip, they’re even better in south wales…

[@cdwc]

I can only dream of how delicious they must be in South Wales.

[@ervinslens]

Outstanding scenery my friend. Shots are amazing! 👏👏

[@jacquiheywood3142]

What stunning views of the sea! I loved Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, and I always thought that Henry Cavill would make a great new James Bond.

[@cdwc]

I agree about Henry Cavill, I was not really a fan of Pierce Brosnan.

[@grahammillman4480]

Great video. I'm local but never done that walk so you've inspired me to get up there one day soon. One thing though it's 679 feet at the summit, 207 metres😀

[@rugglez]

Thanks for adding the framed map Marek. That was very quick getting it added to your website!!!!

[@christopherduckett]

Brilliant walk and video - thanks, Marek - and I loved hearing your revisiting of the Waltz form at the end, and your always unique interpretive slant 👌🎹- top-notch!

[@chriswilson263]

Looked a cool walk, I have been up there in the cable car with my Dad in the 70’s. Favourite Bond is Roger Moore, next one should be Dave Benson Phillips, my kids loved him, he’s a cool dude, like you!

[@cdwc]

I would have loved to try the cable car.

[@stevesvids]

My kinda walk. Booooootiful.

[@garrymartin6474]

A lovely walk. I don't really have a favourite Bond , but someone I know went out with Timothy Dalton's brother. I think you should audition for a Bond villain, channel your inner Donald Pleasence and the job is yours! He was a top actor even if he put me off swimming for ever with his "Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water" film

[@cdwc]

Donald Pleasence is wonderful!

[@highlandexplorer990]

Absolutely loved your video! It looks like the Great Orme is a must-do hike with those incredible views 😍. I may have to add it to my travel bucket list ⛰. Also, the crap camera club idea is hilarious 🤣. I think I need to join!

[@flechesbleues]

Looks like a lovely day!

[@cdwc]

I was lucky with the weather that week.

[@oggie114]

Great walk Cool Dude. Little cool dude Jude has requested we watch it 3 times already, I think he likes the tram lines, as he says 'Marek train road!' when that bit comes up. He is currently obsessed with all kinds of trains 🚋 Fav Bond: Connery Fav Bond film though is Golden Eye as I love Alan Cumming New Bond: Cavill, or I like people's suggestions below of Aidan Turner, or !

[@RJ-444]

That looks like a very cool walk, cool dude... with or without the monks. One to note down in my 'Future Walks' book (when I've stopped making it up and bought a book and written 'Future Walks' on the cover with a pen). Nice one. Great squirrel keyring photo, by the way...

[@cdwc]

The squirrel keyring photo is excellent.

[@Kronsteen]

"Who is Bond compared with Kronsteen!?" Been waiting to say that again for a long time! 😂

[@nature_photography_yukon]

Amazing walk and views, hopefully was cow and free walk only 🐑. Will check out the camera club. thankz Marek

[@cdwc]

Nice one cool dude.

[@christopherselway2274]

Well done dude. Great hike

[@cdwc]

[@squalloogal]

My Bond was Pierce Brosnon as that’s who I grew up watching.

[@cdwc]

I think he might be my least favourite.

[@nataliebsketching]

Pierce all the way! I’d also happily have him as the sexy robot house voice that murders me (like in that Simpsons ep)

[@johnmabey3245]

Dalton FTW!!!

[@cdwc]

Yes agreed.

[@davem9204]

I lived in Llandudno briefly last millennium, but never got round to walking up the Orme. Looks like I missed out on a really nice walk. My favourite Bond was also Roger Moore, and I think you should be the next Bond. But you might have to wear a dodgy syrup like Connery did in Never Say Never Again.

[@cdwc]

It is about time they had a bald bond.

[@thekentishpilgrim]

Nice walk but probably nicer weather. You got very lucky cool dude.

[@cdwc]

Shut up Carlos.

[@peterbartlett4082]

The best Bond....Basildon Bond

[@Niac022]

The best James Bond is the James Bond puppet that was on Sesame Street in the 90s because everything is better in muppet form!

[@cdwc]

Good point

[@russellcox2731]

amazing walk Cool Dude!

[@mandyedavis7978]

Great walk the views are breathtaking! My favourite Bond was Roger Moore, he had such a good sense of humour. I would like to see Henry Cavill as the next James Bond. I loved him as Sherlock Homes in the Enola Holmes films on Netflix.

[@TheDomesticatedape]

Super inspiring thank you Marek

[@cdwc]

Thanks for watching cool dude.

[@strAwrlD]

6:52 hahaha you got me there 😂

[@SMLEMK4]

Best Bond... Basildon. Write that down.

[@kraven512]

Really like Timothy Daltons take on Bond.

[@cdwc]

Me too cool dude.

[@antygod]

glad you saw the goats, they are my favourite bit of the Orme. you only really missed the views down to the west shore of Llandudno from skipping the last bit of the walk, though while that view is pretty good it's not good enough to miss a ride back to your B&B. all the Bond's had at least one decent film, though Craig has been the best so far then Dalton - who was born in Bae Colwyn.

[@MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

1:07 That top cloud looks a bit like a handlebar moustache.

[@petersmithm9]

Russ Abbott as Basildon Bond is my favourite.

[@judybee]

Excellent views. So long since I've been to Wales. Gotta be Rog as the best. And difficult choice between James Norton & Aidan Turner for the next Bond...however, we've never had a Bald Bond soooooo... if they are still auditioning ...... or even or maybe ????.......🎬

[@oggie114]

Aiden Turner is a great shout for the next Bond! He'd be brilliant, as would Sunglasses Marek

[@feetunes]

Lovely. Very nice v I don’t know about Bond, but Sunglasses Marek for Dr. Evil! And for that I’l would pay … 1 MILLION pounds. Mwaahaha.

[@RetroRatz]

Daniel Craig... But Sunglasses 🕶️ Marek for next Bond!

[@cdwc]

Correct cool dudes

[@DarthReluctant]

Next Bond: John Boyega, he's got the action and acting chops.

[@Joiujzd]

Do you often postpone walks due to weather?

[@cdwc]

I look at the weather before leaving, so far I have been lucky. Touch wood.

[@IlIlIlllIIlIllI]

Nice one

[@cdwc]

[@HiddenGemi]

Excellent job, cool dude. Did you make it to Conwy also? Beautiful part of the world.

[@cdwc]

See earlier video

[@davis123321123]

Jen: Idris Elba Mike: Sunglasses Marek would be amazing

[@cdwc]

Idris Elba does too many adverts I think to be Bond.

[@bassmanbowman3266]

Hi Marek, my favourite Bond is George Lazenby & OHMSS is my favourite Bond movie. I’d like too see either Idris Elba or Aiden Turner to play Bond next. Do you fancy a turn ? 😎

[@JohnBone]

A five-Marek walk! Lovely stuff. Best Bond: Connery, Connery Connery, any other answer is the ramblings of a dolt. Next Bond: Oh I don't care... Alan Carr?

[@chumon1992]

SO many people say Roger Moore now, never was quite fond of him for some reason idk. My favorite used to be Sean Connery but honestly I think I like Pierce Brosnan the best. I have a fondness for buildings made of ice. So otherworldly feeling hahah. For the next Bond I would have to insist on Cillian Murphy. Hes the only modern actor I can think of who could carry out a classic bond in a modern film.

[@Jabberwoc]

😙THE NEXT BOND SHOULD BE BRIAN BLESSED.😙

[@alanmaynard7842]

Marek for the next Bond

[@cdwc]

I am more Sherlock Holmes.

[@anthonyhatter196]

Best Bond has to be David Niven in the original Casino Royale, too often overlooked. They should have made more with him in. Cracking walk, CD. Hoped for similar views from Tintagel last week, but alas, the weather conspired against me. CD#123

[@cdwc]

I forgot about David Niven. I am going to read 'The Moon is a Balloon' soon.

[@anthonyhatter196]

@@cdwc how funny, so am I!

[@tpaul2866]

Steeper than Hope Road off the beach at Shanklin?

[@cdwc]

Almost exactly the same.

[@ThePhilbach]

👍👊

[@cdwc]

[@TravellingTorunn]

That was a beautiful walk. And kudos for climbing 679 metres 👍 Sean Connery is my favorite 007, but Roger Moore is second. This perhaps says more about how old I am than how good the Bonds have been 😂😂 But the James Bond movies have totally lost their original James Bond touch and unfortunately become one of the usual action films. I can't be bothered to look at them anymore. And then I don't have many thoughts about the next James Bond either. But Aidan Turner would probably have done well 😊

[@cdwc]

I think it was actually 679 feet ha. I agree with you about the modern Bond films, in fact all action films seem to have just computerised action sequences which have become unrealistic and unwatchable.

[@TravellingTorunn]

@@cdwc well, anyway it was a lot of feet 😄

[@DavePorter-l8x]

Were u in Klang?

[@roystonvasey5471]

How about a strawberry laces review channel Mr Marek? Fizzy, plain, Haribo, generic... the possibilities are endless.

[@cdwc]

No.

[@michaelwhite8031]

I liked Daniel Craig as Bond and l think Cosmo Jarvis would be good in the roll. My second great Grandmother's name was Sarah Bond.

[@elaineforse5914]

Next Bond should be either Idris Elba or Gregg Davies with the Villain played by a chap called Marek Larwood, not sure if you’ve heard of him? 😬

[@richardtaylor2376]

No one ever says Brosnan... quite rightly. Sunglasses Marek has the right attitude to take over and de-nonsense Bond

[@maldaror7097]

Sean Connery is the greatest bond, but I have deeply complicated teenage feelings that bias me , the one pound Monday cinema in Ryde and the release of Never Say Never was a forming experience.....also, obviously tempting to say Marek for Bond, you got the action chops, and your budget gadgets would work, but I want Susan Calman for the next Bond.

[@shimmeister1062]

Best Bond Sean Connery, next one, to reflect the current storylines, should be Danny DeVito.

[@jmcgonnell]

i think they should bring back Dalton as bond and do a Bond film where maybe he is retired or has the M job but has to hit the streets again so to speak. one last mission kind of a thing. would be great. i will direct it. and you marek can have a role in it. you can either choose the role of bon villand, bond girl or Q?

[@cdwc]

An excellent idea. I will be the Bond girl.

[@jmcgonnell]

@@cdwc i will call your agent.

[@nataliebsketching]

Matt Berry for Bond 🤞🤞🤞

[@wazeroonie6084]

I’m writing this comment before watching the video. I wonder how annoyed Marek will get at having to walk uphill. My guess is very, very annoyed

[@wazeroonie6084]

I was wrong, I apologise profusely🙏🏼

[@cdwc]

You need to apologise more.

[@theshakermaker_]

679 ft not metres! 😜

[@1oldgit]

Lot in the cemetery. Where did they all come from as must be some job to get the deceased to their final resting place. Warwick Davis would be a brilliant Bond.

[@cdwc]

They were all mermaids.

[@1oldgit]

@@cdwc A likely tail Cool Dude

[@MoreModeratePeril]

Timothy Dalton was an excellent Bond with a far more cooler, hard edged, less whimsical portrayal of the character. The polar opposite of what Roger Moore had been providing for so long. The Living Daylight caught this perfectly. Licence to Kill was similarly a radical change, but too much, too soon. It sought to pitch Bond against other action movies, when previously it was a very separate and distinct franchise. The public wasn't ready for such a change in 1989. Yet oddly that is what exactly happened in 2006 with Casino Royale, where the same tone of Licence to Kill was replicated. It worked second time round. I also think the franchise took a major hit when John Barry left. David Arnold did two great scores with Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale but musically many of the films since 1989 onwards have lost that aspect of their brand identity.

[@michaelbent22]

679 feet, not metres! It’s 207 metres…

[@TravellingTorunn]

I wondered a bit about that. It didn't look even 509 to me.... 😊

[@cdwc]

Apologies

[@TravellingTorunn]

@@cdwc 😁🏔

[@Vurtonable]

Have you been asked to be the next Bond? I think no one would suspect you of being bond. You could just pretend to be a janitor or local idiot. Isn’t that the point of a spy to not be noticed? Hope they ask you. Did you know it’s illegal for people who live in Llandudno to be buried at St Tudno’s cemetery? Because they are alive. This is my best and oldest joke.

[@Vurtonable]

I read this again. I didn’t mean this to be so rude lol. I meant you could slip into a building and get the secret plans while pretending to be a janitor or homeless bum. Not that you are not capable of fighting baddies. I’d say you are more of a grump than aggressor. New take on Bond???

[@cdwc]

I can't believe my casting roles are janitor and local idiot. (This has pretty much been my career)

[@Vurtonable]
