Are ATTRACTIONS Safe After LOCKDOWN? - Salisbury Cathedral and Old Sarum

[@xenabellebeest]

Enjoyed your video. In 1978 I visited Salisbury for the first time. I went on my bicycle from The Hague to the Hook, crossed the North Sea by boat and then cycling again from Harwich to Salisbury. I fell in love with the cathedral and its amazing choir/Father Willis organ). Went again the next year to visit the Southern Cathedrals Festival and then...again and again and again. Last time: July 2018, shortly after the Novichok-attack. The impact it had on the community silenced me, but oh boy, they made the best of it. Salisbury adopted an art project and the city turned into 'the City of Doves' with an amazing display of tens-of-thousands of paper fold doves in the cathedral and every single shop window had been turned into a work of art. An amazing experience. Just hoping it won't take too long before I can visit again. (BTW: last week a Monopoly version of Salisbury has been launched. Just ordered a copy!).

Thanks for sharing Marja. That is a long cycle ride. How did you get there the last time you visited? 👍👍🚐

Aren't we all. So no motorhome or camper then?

Outstanding job Ads and Zoe! Your video post shows journalistic professionalism, as well as sensitivity to the Covid-19 pandemic issue, and presented in an unbiased manner. Stay Safe and God Bless.

Thanks Deborah, that very kind. Any improvement over across the pond there? Stay safe 👍👍

@@HermanHitstheRoad Our number of new cases seem to be going down, it's the survivability rate vs. deaths after being diagnosed that has just skyrocketed, and it's all age groups. About three weeks ago it hit the news, that 87 infants in the Corpus Christi, TX area had been diagnosed with Covid, and no one could explain why. Most of the public schools have delayed opening until after the Labor Day national holiday which is 07 Sep 20, the last summer holiday of the year. I expect for the number of cases to go up again after Labor Day. Businesses are learning to adapt though, my local grocery store has an online ordering system where you pay and schedule you date and time for pickup. When I arrive for pickup, I park in the designated pickup area, text the store, a worker shows up with my cart order and loads my groceries in my trunk. The store then emails me my receipt, and I never make any personal contact with the store workers. You have probably encounter something similar as well. I'm very fortunate, I retired mid-March shortly before the first shut down. So my stress level has been reduce a great deal. I have been researching the concept of RV Sharing. Here in America full time RV is becoming very popular. If you go online to check on available Class C RV's, its slim to none. Lifestyle changes are clearly adapting to the Covid, and our ways of coping with the Pandemic. Stay Safe and God Bless.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Yeah the price of RVs over here has gone through the roof as people don't want to go abroad for their holidays.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Wasn't me filming honest. 😁 We found going on the early slots is the best strategy for visiting places. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Hi Bob, great tip thanks. Are you sure it wasn't you ?👍👍🤣

[@paulonthemove5543]

Nice video, like the hair cut.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

LOL thanks, Paul.👍👍💇

[@jackirichards8789]

You're in my neck of the woods, hope you have been to Avebury it is lovely there! And so is Shaftesbury! X

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Yes, we've been to Avebury. It's been a while though. Not been to Shaftesbury though. What would we see there?

[@sammy_swift_on_the_road947]

Hi both of you, enjoy your videos. Question about your electric bike's, do you worry about leaving them when you're on site seeing.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Hi Sammy, we lock them up when we're not using them and the batteries are locked to the bikes too. Why do you ask?

[@sammy_swift_on_the_road947]

Thinking of buying some so wondered if you have concerns about leaving them.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Get a very good lock. 👍

[@chrisneedham5803]

I really enjoyed your video. Salisbury Cathedral and area is absolutely beautiful. I was shocked and bewildered as to why anyone would allow such horrible statues in such an historic place.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks Chris, we're glad you enjoyed the video.

[@markmangan8586]

Great vid guys 😊👍, digging the new hair style ads 💇‍♂️😁

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks Mark. I'm not sure I'd call it a new haircut. More like a post lockdown haircut 😉🤣👍💇‍♂️

[@camperab]

Thank you for this educational video, esp. some commentary at Old Sarum. Salisbury Cathedral has not changed much since I visited it twice in the past century. I.e. it has been safe so far! Sitting couple: Great square-headed male and triangular-headed female! What does the artist want to tell every couple?? :-) Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks camp mal. So you've visited Salisbury cathedral twice in the past century? How you must be old 😉🤣👍😂.

[@kieranking8657]

another good one very interesting👍

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Thanks Kieran. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ttxela]

Can you go up the tower, I always want to go up the tower if there is one.....🤔

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Alex, I hadn't even thought of going up in the tower. I've just had a look and there is a tower tour which runs all year round except that covid has stopped that for now. It's very popular too. £13 isnt too bad either. Maybe next time. Thanks for putting the thought into my head 👍👍

[@3scottiedogs]

Both looking very streamlined 😎

Love the giant Frisby. Just waiting for the Dog....

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

The dog would be huge, larger than the cathedral

[@johnbateman3244]

Wow I never knew that King John had an XBox how cool is that. You learn something new everyday. 😂 How far from the camp to Salisbury on the cycle track. Nice vid 💙❤️👍

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Hi John, it took about 10 or 15 mins along a path following the river. Very nice ride.

[@johnbateman3244]

Herman Hits the Road Thanks for that we are always looking for nice bike rides, I tow our dogs in a small canvas trailer so a nice flat cycle path is always good.
