Only just catching up on these, i am now officially part of the cool dudes walking club as i recently had a walk to our local woods, cooked some food and everything! Great vid Marek.

[@mrlearning2fun994]

Thanks I learnt a lot , it was fun

[@WalksWithOlly]

A decent circular walk. Handy that you cam get there from the train. Zig-zag paths seem like a terrible idea. No surprise they don't appear to have caught on. I've never seen a badger in the wild so that's a really impressive encounter! I look forward to future videos and catchphrases. All the best!

[@grayfreeman]

Brilliant.

[@jdanielpUK]

Good badger spot! This must be one of your highest rated walks despite the scary road and unkempt paths... Stay cool.

[@stevesvids]

Hellooooo.. just subscribed. Watched a couple now and haven't chuckled so much in ages. Really good fun joining you on your whining walks. 😄 Great job buddy.... top marks. Regards..... Steve

[@cdwc]

Thanks Steve. Glad you're enjoying the videos. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more soon.

[@stevesvids]

@@cdwc I hope so.... I'm rapidly getting through them all..... always good fun and well put together. I'm watching another right now 😃 Stay Cool 😄👍 Regards..... Steve

[@flagpolemusic]

Badger Misogyny would be an excellent band name

[@tonycarey9731]

SWMBO and I have been able to carry out many walks in the Alton area - also, I love your equipment reviews. I remember watching your IoW circular walk video - Keep up the good work, may be we'll bump into each other one day. the plant you ask about is the post-flowering stage of Rape oil seed. Used in food colouring and flavouring. You must be a quiet walker to disturb a badger like that. Well spotted.

[@cdwc]

Thank you. I think there may have been something wrong with that badger as I am hardly the quietest walker, I spend most of the time talking to myself. Hopefully see you on a walk soon. Take care and stay cool.

[@DropdudeJohn]

I live in Alton and every time I drive that stretch of the A31 I think who would be mad enough to try and cross here, well now I know

[@AndyOutdoors]

Looked like a good walk, decent distance too! I don't yet have a full on adventure hat, so I'm no where near as cool as the club members.

[@jasonharding9490]

I remember a couple of years ago going up that zigzag path with my then 1 year old in a buggy, not the best idea. I think sadly the Selbourne Arms is now closed (if it is the one I am thinking of), but Gilbert White's house is worth a visit and has a good cafe that I think you can get into without paying to get into the main house so could serve as an alternative lunch spot. I know how you feel with the wet wet wet songs, I once put a new slate roof on a barn and I had 'Gangnam Stlye' by Psy stuck in my head for pretty much most of it; one method to expunge it that I have heard is to drink a drink through a very narrow straw and concentrate on doing this, I think the idea is that it focuses the mind away.

[@cdwc]

That Gangman Style song is possibly a worse ear worm than Wet Wet Wet. Reading this has put that Wet Wet Wet song back in my head after forgetting about it for a year. Ha.

[@atlanteanxx]

Selborne Arms is still open , the Queen's Hotel is closed - that one is right opposite Gilbert White's house 'The Wakes'

[@grampawud]

That plant is oilrape seed.

[@cryptolive4348]

wet wet wet: i guess you have less short term distraction energy, allowing you to explore more or your internal long term memory paths

[@krabbers]

Have you ever done the Alton 6hill walk?

[@cdwc]

No Cool Dude. I will look it up.

[@krabbers]

@@cdwc Isle of Wight book turned up today. Cheers.

[@williamporter8718]

On the 'No. of people around' category, does more Marek mean more people, or a better walk due to fewer people?

[@cdwc]

Fewer people = better walk. But the two Marek's represent how busy it was out of five Marek's. So quite quiet apart from the bit with all the schoolkids.

[@callumnewman2994]

Thay parted the woung post box,he did not live in alton bus somewhere near by

[@cdwc]

Ha. This is excellent insider knowledge. Cheers Callum.

[@lacingtrails420]

catchphrase ideas: Walk with pride, be happy inside. Enjoy your walk, but never stalk. Go for a ramble, but the weathers a gamble......................these are awful. thanks for a great vid

[@RobsHampshirePubWalks]

You ought to write game show scripts 😁

[@DaveCurran]

No Christine this time?

[@cdwc]

I am only walking to find Christine again.

[@kittikoko]

Circles don't have zig zags. Witchcraft.

[@cdwc]

Voodoo magic.

[@spekticat]

Ah, Mr. Shitbury, welcome to the Gala Luncheon, won't you place your cool hat on this antimacassar?

[@cdwc]

[@mjbbell]

Looks like oil seed rape in the field but I could be wrong Plus a was wait the your version of frogger trying to get across the road.

[@cdwc]

Yes my brother has confirmed it is oil seed rape but after the yellow flowers have fallen off.
