I don’t need to wait until I’ve watched the video before knowing it’s worth a like 😊

[@cdwc]

This is correct cool dude.

[@arr0wfree855]

Thank you Marek for this Smile on me Dial .. Cheers Cool Dude

The hills round Bath are very nice to wander up. Watching the sun go down over the Bath stone houses from a field on a hill is pretty special.

[@squalloogal]

The fairy wee flood picture was a hilarious addition. 😂

All the fairies in that picture sadly died.

@@cdwc what a tragedy

[@Niac022]

My favorite sport is hockey. There's something about the sounds, visuals, and the smells if you can see it live. I've always loved hockey. I can watch games I have already seen repeatedly because I don't care who wins I just love watching it be played so much. I tend to support players instead of teams.

[@wazeroonie6084]

The smells of hockey? One morning in 1986 my PE teacher at secondary school, Mr Simpson (we called him Spammy behind his back) crapped his pants while playing hockey with my class. All down the back of his two stripe red tracksuit trousers and into his trainers. He said “Ooh I had a right skinful last night. Never mind lads, it’ll happen to you all one day”. He lit a fag and walked off to the showers and told us to carry on. Those were the days🤣

[@cdwc]

Ice hockey or grass hockey?

[@derekpugh5457]

I love athletics, running especially, also cricket (test match only) and support Liverpool in football ….chicago bears are my AF team.

[@robertholdcroft9643]

Hope you didn't get to wet yesterday down Appley when me and the dog walked past you we legged it to shelter .great videos.

[@cdwc]

Ha. Yes that was a weird downpour. Nice to see you.

If caterpillars give you joy then I enjoyed this video eight times one ache fields full of caterpillars much .. Spot Marek's Hat 🤓

What a beautiful walking area. I've had the chance to visit Bath but the surrounding countryside looks amazing. Thanks for taking us along and sharing your thoughts. -H

[@cdwc]

Thanks for watching cool dude

[@lisaperry345]

Great vid as always Marek. That conversation you were talking about at the beginning of your vid made me laugh. I had a similar exchange with an elderly gentleman at a bus stop a few years ago.Just before I got to the bus stop, a bus went passed. So the conversation went like this... Me:Excuse me,was that the number 8 that just went by? EG:You what love? Me:Was that the number 8 bus that I just missed? E.G Eh? Me:Was that the number 8 that just went passed? E. G:Nah love, it was the number 8.

[@cdwc]

It was probably the same bloke!

[@anthonyhatter196]

I used to cyle along that canal towpath to get to school . So it won't come as a surprise that Bath Rugby is my team of choice. And yes, at the games there are plenty of those pastel coloured trousers to be seen. Mustard and salmon colours tend to dominate. Love your walks but this one brought back so many memories. Next time walk up Solisbury Hill and enjoy the view from the bench up there for lunch. Loved this one.

[@Lukey_B]

Joined a few weeks ago so I'm gonna use all the emojis now: . Ah! Yes, that fells good...

Excellent work cool dude.

[@oggie114]

Lovely video, Bath is so pretty! My favorite sport to watch is snooker as I find it very relaxing. Jude is already a fan too and has his own mini snooker table and cue. His 2nd birthday cake was a snooker table and he likes Ronnie and Judd the best (I may have encouraged this...) 😂

[@cdwc]

Ha. Snooker is very relaxing. I like the way the best commentators aren’t afraid to leave space for the quiet.

[@myoldreteacher]

I find these videos very relaxing… thank you! Favourite sport: Formula One. I follow the exploits of McLaren and Williams.

[@cdwc]

Thank you for watching cool dude.

I haven't got to the end of the video yet, but I think this week I'm going to win the prize draw. I have a strong feeling, and I'm never wrong.

[@cdwc]

I believe in you

Nice walk, cool dude. Now you deserve a drink and there's alotta publingtons in Bath.

[@cdwc]

[@WalksWithOlly]

I'm glad you made the detour up to the sham castle and the extra miles to and from the station. I've walked the Skyline a few times - given it's name, you'd certainly expect more of a view of the city!! For a greater view of Bath, I can recommend heading up Little Solsbury Hill. Up...

[@cdwc]

Ahh. Maybe next time cool dude. I wish I had explored Bath instead of doing the walk.

[@mattentwistle70]

Great tune by Peter Gabriel too 👌

[@bassmanbowman3266]

An hilarious walk today Marek, as for my favourite sport… I like snooker, I can’t see the draw in football mate.😎

[@cdwc]

[@JohnLvideos]

My favourite sport is cycling. I watch all the big races on TV . If I was a bit younger I might even join them.

G'day Marek, In Perth Australia a cow pat will dry to frisbee quality in about 22 minutes. (that is summer of course, could take up to 28 minutes in winter)

[@cdwc]

Perth sounds like a good place to visit if you like dried cowpats.

[@all-range-mode]

A walk around Lansdown in Bath has spectacular panoramic views which I TOTALLY recommend. Best sport = Volleyball Cow pat frisbee time = 5 days

[@cdwc]

Good cow pat information thanks cool dude.

[@Camberwell86]

Mad for a bit of mixed martial arts. Massive fan of Tom Aspinall - our massive 6' 5", 19 stone British heavyweight who's basically world champion, moves like someone half his size and steamrolls the opposition in like a minute flat 😅

As a Wiganer now living in the USA, I love Rugby League (Wigan Warriors), College Football (better than the NFL Marek) Boise State, and Ice Hockey (New Jersey Devils) its RL on ice.

My grandmother and other Bathonians would go to the hills around Bathwick during the war and take pot shots at the luftwaffe who would approach Bath from the south.

Another great one Marek! A couple of pointers - noone who lives on the Isle of Wight can say somewhere else is how you want everywhere to be, that's reserved for the Island and also don't moan how difficult it is to wee on a walk unless youre a woman otherwise well done!

[@thekentishpilgrim]

Nice one I went to Bath once and wasn't overly impressed. Maybe I caught it on a bad day or maybe I would like it more now. Anyway, I'm so happy you asked what my favorite sports and teams were as I love sports and teams. Favorite sports are Football (both American and football, football) and Basketball. Fav. teams are Arsenal and Sevilla in football football, The Miami Hurricanes for college sports and all the Dallas pro teams for American sports but I really keep up with the Mavericks 🏀 maybe the Cowboys if they're having a good season. Let's catch up soon!

[@chickahn]

Blernsball from Futurama is my sport of choice

[@cdwc]

I have not seen it but it sounds good

[@richardmarshall7989]

Fellow Norwich fan Marek, also follow Kings Lynn (my home town) for my sins.

[@cdwc]

On the ball City. We are starting to play attractive football again. I like the new manager.

[@systemSkynet]

Waiiitt. You were the one who said if in doubt choose B.

[@RobertHoward-d8g]

I'm not going to get technical, but the triple jump - hop, step, (& pick up the pieces), always frightened the bejaysus out of me since I was on a first aid course and they showed a film of an athlete doing this and breaking his shin part-way through. Not nice when the broken part came through when he landed in the sand. I've since considered sand to be really dangerous. Lovely walk, Marek. Almost inspired me to push over my wheelchair and get out and do it. That's not a long jump pit, it's an escape lane on a steep hill. Eddie Floyde (Knock On Wood) is a Dallas Cowboys fan. I'm a Redskins fan, so there's a bit of rivalry there.

[@cdwc]

I remember when John Riggins was playing for the Redskins.

[@RobertHoward-d8g]

@@cdwc Wow! Going back to the 70's!

[@systemSkynet]

My favourite sport was Billy's Sport. It wasn't actually a sport but It was the title I named a vhs tape I pretended was full of sport that I borrowed from my mate Billy. I thought I was clever. But my parents knew I wasn't into any sports so put the vhs on to discover it was actually a po*n compilation I had made from my own dad's collection utilising 2 vhs players to play on one and record on the other. I got into more trouble from my mother. My dad not so much cos he knew that was his collection I took from and didn't grass on himself. Good times.

[@cdwc]

Ha ha. The dark world of VHS tapes.

[@Sparrowhawk1974]

Rugby Union, and bizarrely I am an Isle of wight based Bath Rugby fan! Nice walk cool dude

[@cdwc]

That is a peculiar coincidence cool dude.

[@BlueDemon77]

"c'mon in. It's XXVIII degrees in here" ' Brilliant, reminds me of the sort of stuff in Goscinny and Uderzo would do. Fairly new to the channel. Love the videos but do wish they were a little longer or more frequently released. The funniest walking videos out.

[@cdwc]

They take me about a week to edit hence the gap in-between. If they were any longer it would just be full of footage of me heavy breathing walking up hills cool dude

If you want a walk that has had some strange decisions made to get it to work, you should try the welwyn garden city centenary circular walk. It's about 20km and has some really nice scenic parts and some not so scenic. Great vid as usual

I did a Welwyn Garden City walk a while back, maybe I went to some of the places.

[@RedshiftDougal]

For sports, although I love participating in some -- all endurance, mainly running, cycling and walking -- I have never "got" the whole supporting teams thing, or the tribalism. I envy those who care. It all goes over my head. (Some people take that as a kind of holier-than-thou signalling, but it's not, I assure you. It's more like I lack the part of the brain involved. 😮)

[@cdwc]

Teams are like gangs but with less fighting

[@feetunes]

Cowpat frisbee-ing would be a good deal more entertaining than American Football or baseball or basketball. Blimey, they are all so sleep inducing! I’ve forgotten what the question was though. Damn. Nice vid though!

I will start a wet cow pat throwing league immediately.

[@zelimpdna]

I picked Path C, and I think I won.

I feel like option c is unrealistic. No one is going to spend the rest of their days wandering. They would set up a lovely house and make the best of it. Good pigeon content in this video. I can’t wait for the moment when we see you have a turning point towards Pigeons and realise how much you love them. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Yes that was it. I had to make up a song about how I hated referees. Afterward a guy in a wheelchair repeatedly shouted the c bomb in my face for about five minutes.

I can confirm there are indeed a lot of pigeons in Bath, though it's the seagulls that are the real menace - last year one stole a sandwich right out of my mum's hand/mouth!Re: the long jump - it's possible you were near the university, which is also up on that hill, they have a BIG sports department (quite a lot of Team GB athletes train there), though I'm not sure whether long jump is one of their specialities...

[@cdwc]

I was tempted to go for a long jump. I regret not trying it.

[@MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

4:00 The long jump always scared me as a child (still does a bit now if I'm honest) how people do not break their coccyx is beyond me. I always try to catch on TV = the Paralympic blind football, winter Olympics curling & Olympic weightlifting.

[@cdwc]

I did not enjoy the long jump either let alone the triple jump.

[@AW-tf9ns]

Tempted to do the Cotswold Way? It starts at Bath Abbey, could be a good spring adventure.

Salmon coloured trousers are only allowed to be worn by Michael Portillo

[@cdwc]

It is strange that everyone hated Michael Portillo, but he comes across so well in his programme. Unlike other presenters, he is actually interested in the people he is talking to (I think).

[@JohnBone]

You're right about the quality of the walk. It looked like it was an average walk with a couple of brief views of Bath. Whereas the city itself is a great place to walk in. Favourite sport; F1. Yes I know it's a horribly elitist, money laundering, politically socially and ethically bankrupt sport, but I spent 10 years working in it, and watching it became an insidious habit I can't shake.

Funny you should mention the salmon coloured trousers, I saw someone on my adventures today and had pretty much the same thought (most probably out loud as I walked a past on my own 😳) For some unknown reason I bought some green jeans in that exact colour in your picture. Hmm I look like an Christmas elf. Another time paired with a yellow T shirt I caught myself in the mirror and realised it was a bit NCFC (a Bolton Wanderers fan for my sins.) But they do go perfectly with my good luck... T shirt and when I wore it for the first day back at work the other day everyone loved it! 💚 Not made it to Bath yet, it looks lovely. Any place where you can get out to countryside just like that from a city is perfect. I reckon it probably takes a week or two in the sun to perfect the ultimate.. er.. cow frisbee!
