AQUAHOLIC Big Walk 1

[@mikeg2939]

At approximately the time that this was posted I was walking on that beach, but in the other direction and around the back of the Red cliff hotel due to the tide being out. Sadly, no cruise ships to look at. After the ships left it took a while to get used to them not being there anymore. One of the last to leave was Oosterdam of the Holland America line. The night before her departure the crew spelt ' TORBAY WE ❤️ YOU' along the side of the ship by switching some cabin lights on while leaving others switched off. An incredible feat.

[@simonevans6664]

Hi nick. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party but I've just discovered your walking videos. Im a regular visitor to Devon and love Torbay, Dartmouth, dawlish and Exmouth areas. Your walking vids have given me plenty of pleasure and inspiration for my next visit. I really hope you can do some more trips

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome! Worth checking out Marianne's channel, she does a lot of these walking videos: kzbin.info/door/gmNkkDZxdUArD-oJh0vmHA

[@seanogden927]

Lovely day, lovely walk, lovely company. Looks like you had a great day, thank's for taking us along Nick. A boat right at the end on the pier and you did not review it !!! lol.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

More to come! 🙂

[@russellbrinkhurst1952]

The walks and house tours are a great addition to the channel, we love watching them! Thanks!

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Thank you Marianne and Nick for taking us in with your nice walking tour allong the forrest and coast line that was a long time a go but I always like those tours with you i can hardly wait for part 2 thanks again Marianne and Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick and Marianne! Beautiful scenery! Well done!

[@Johnnyb1695]

I do enjoy your walking videos

[@Gazmaz]

So glad you used the kissing gate, we have been walking the South West Coastal Path and every kissing gate is ‘used’ the amount of times people say to they’re children when they see us them is ‘see I told you it’s called a kissing gate’.

[@akumar7366]

I particularly enjoyed the birds tweeting in the background , so lovely , beautiful England ,♥️

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Nice to see these walking videos once again,as we love Torquay and Paignton. I think prefer these videos to the boating stuff.

A lovely walk to Roundham head. We did the the walk around Cliff road and Roundham down to Godrington in September a

[@marchport]

Beautiful countryside. I love the pier, as well!

[@stevegray1308]

My idea of a good walk is one that someone else does while I meet them in the pub at the end. 😁

[@Bootneck-RMC]

Nice to see the walks are back Nick. I really enjoyed them the first time and hopefully you can make another series of the walks in your new area. 😀 👍 I would recommend that anyone who has joined the channel recently, go and have a look at the previous walk videos. (I think Nick put them in a playlist), the views and the history of the area (as described and told by young Nicholas (with a beard) himself) are truly stunning.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Two more parts of this one still to come! 🙂

[@stevejarvis186]

@@AQUAHOLIC When are you going to put them up NIck? Also how far are you going on this particular walk, just around Roundham Head to Goodrington, or are you going to walk all the way to Brixham! LOL. Keep up these great videos Nick and Marianne, they keep me in touch with the place I love when I can`t be there.

[@normbond8888]

Ahh yes Nick & MaryAnne thanks for the walking tours. They are very special indeed & as I listen to the sea birds, the crashing of the waves I can smell the wonderful seaside in all it’s glory. Brings me back to my youth of Walney Island in Lancashire. Funny you talk about Preston as I was born in Preston but in Lancashire along the River Ribble. Great video so please do more to help us through the pandemic restrictions we are are all suffering through. Stay safe.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Another coming on Sunday 🙂

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Merry Christmas to you too, and let's hope for a little less madness next year.

[@normbond8888]

Your country is wonderful as we visited a few years ago. We in Canada are also getting locked down to try & contain the COVID VIRUS. Hopefully like the last 2 winters it will help us again & be much better than countries that haven’t learned their lessons yet. Good luck & be Saale.

Nick, so you have moved from the torquay metropolis, to the expanse of the paignton area ( the better end of devon, nearer malborough, which is great walking)

[@shakysenior]

[@jeremywilliams2478]

Lovely to see the part of the world I grew up in.

[@TOM-C.]

We should all be so lucky to have a walking area like this nearby. Even if I lived near the beach here in CA, all the quaintness is gone in favor of ever newer construction which ruins the ambiance that once existed. Please tell me those cranes are for some sort of thrill, adrenalin type experience? I hope, for the sake of saving the communities charm, they're not for raising a high-rise? Beautiful walk, can't wait for walk 2! 👍✌

[@AQUAHOLIC]

They're building hotels, but they're not high rise.

[@mikemorris3608]

Nick your walking videos during lockdown were a welcome distraction. I enjoyed you commentary and scenery was fantastic. I belong to a family of walkers, my son in law is from northern England and when we visit at least a few days are totally devoted to long walks. The last time there in 2019 we enjoyed the Peak District for 19 days. I will use your videos for reference in the future should we ever make it to the southwest coast of England.

Lovely walk for you both. For any film buffs, there is a film called " The System" staring Oliver Reed. It was filmed in Paignton and Torquay. Oliver Reed set up a bar just under Paignton Pier. Interesting film showing various parts of Torbay. When the tides out, the beach is 1.2 miles long from Preston to Paignton harbour. Love you guys.
