Shorwell to Yarmouth | | The Vectis Trail - Stage Six | Isle of Wight Walks

The final walk on the six-day, 74-mile, Vectis Trail. This walk takes you from Shorwell, up to Limerstone Down, then down through Brightsone Forest to visit Winkle Street, before climbing up again. Some beautiful views and a nice walk back to Yarmouth.

The Jonathan Creek theme tune will always be a personal favourite the windmill where Jonathan lived is actually in West Sussex

[@cdwc]

I will have to keep an eye out for it on future walks cool dude.

[@LeanneModenPoet]

Great video as always! My fave TV theme tune will always be Trap Door. Late eighties/early nineties nostalgia at its best!

[@cdwc]

Yes Trapdoor was a good one.

[@benroads5460]

round the twist was a great theme tune. can still remember all the words

[@cdwc]

Good theme tune cool dude.

[@georgec2894]

I personally picked flag C, and much prefer it to the Isle of Wight flag anyway! Enjoyed following this walk - and your edited map with red lines of 'good bits' is actually quite useful :)

[@cdwc]

Southern Vectis should offer a 'best bits' bus service.

[@sueweston502]

Brilliant! I've just binge watched the last 4 eps of the Vectis trail. In some strange way I feel I'm sharing your sense of achievement in doing all those hills!

[@cdwc]

Watching four episodes is an achievement. Ha.

And while you're not making these fab videos you're on TV - Am I being Unreasonable - You really are just one Cool Dude!

[@lolly5453]

Round the twist was a good theme tune, Teenage mutant ninja turtles too! And fresh prince of course 😁 anythin I could learn all the words to and annoyingly sing along with! The Vectis trail seemed like it was gonna be a bit of a let-down on that first day, but you came across some real gems and some beautiful scenery, it definitely made for a great watch, so thanks for taking us along!!! 👏🏼

[@cdwc]

I would still do the Coastal Path ahead of the Vectis Trail. I think I altered some bits of the trail to avoid cow fields in Brading and annoying pointless climbs. It is pretty hard to do a bad walk on the island. Ha.

[@orangeedo]

The theme tune to the Poddington Peas was a banger, but my number 1 has to be the outro music to Bert Raccoon (Run with us by Lisa Lougheed). It genuinely should have been a smash hit.

[@cdwc]

I know all the words to the Poddington Peas, an excellent tune. Run with Us was a odd choice for a cartoon as it is more like a Karate Kid song than a cartoon theme I always thought.

[@MagpieRat]

The best TV theme tune is a toss-up between the 90s X-Men cartoon, and The Raggy Dolls for me. I might have to go with the dolls: catchy tune, and excellent life advice all in one.

[@cdwc]

Oh no, not another vote for The Raggy Dolls. That was one of my least favourites. I will google the X-Men one cool dude.

[@chumon1992]

Ooooh favorite theme tune...probably the theme from the mighty ducks cartoon. Really sick rock song from the 90s.

[@Thrakchar]

One of my favourite theme tunes was for a show I never watched: Gilligan's Isle. So good!

[@cdwc]

I will google it now, or rather Gillgle it. (That is so bad - apologies)

[@alltheteam69]

Nice one. Enjoyed it all, really appreciate you posting these vids. Robinson Crusoe theme tune melted my heart each time my son watched it. Thanks for posting and all the other bonkers stuff you do.

[@cdwc]

Nice one cool dude. I am glad you enjoyed it. A few people have mentioned the Robinson Crusoe theme tune.

[@TrevBec]

I liked the Knight Rider theme too. The Professionals theme tune was great. Enjoyed this series Marek.

[@cdwc]

Thanks Trev. It was wonderful to see Tamara at Wightlink the other day. Hopefully see you both about soon.

[@slothrr776]

Had a cracking morning of Pooman with my 7 and 4 year old yesterday, Marek. Nice one I thought the theme to the TV version of the Dilbert cartoon was great.

[@JensRandoms]

Well done for finishing the trail One of my favourite TV themes has to be Red Dwarf. I can’t not sing along.

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude. I once did a job with 'Cat', he told me he was one of Chilly Down gang in Labyrinth. Cool.

[@JensRandoms]

That’s awesome. Now I really want to watch Labyrinth. Talking of Jim Henson, the Fraggle Rock theme was great too.

[@squalloogal]

I loved Skippy (the bush kangaroo) and Round The Twist 😊

[@cdwc]

There is a lot of love for Round the Twist on here.

[@mattentwistle70]

Managed a lucky guess with Flag B and can't wait to come to IOW for some well earned freedom. Favourite theme tunes are the Famous Five (1970's) and Rising Damp.

[@cdwc]

They are building a statue you of you on the island as we speak.

[@hosephanerothe1440]

I'm still obsessed with The Demon Headmaster and The Queens Nose but the quintessential theme tune is Chucklevision

[@cdwc]

I have to get around to watching the Demon Headmaster. I have heard good things about it.

[@stevesmith3990]

Nice scenery Cool Dude!

[@cdwc]

The skies looked nice in this one.

The New Avengers, Jamie and the Magic Torch or The Money Program are all classics!

All good shouts. The second mention of The Money Programme.

[@lesleymartin2682]

Great walk on a beautiful day. Considering a jumper to compliment my Cool Dude T-shirt. TV theme tunes listed are all sadly saved in my “TV Theme Tunes” playlist: The Good Life, Mission Impossible, Hill Street Blues, Cagney & Lacey, The Rockford Files, Angela (from Taxi), Man About The House, George & Mildred, Allo, Allo. The Reed Mathis Stinson music that plays in the Cool Dude videos is very lovely. Probably waffled too much, but currently on a high having gained my Freedom of the Isle of Wight. Nice one cool dude.

[@cdwc]

Fantastic. Congratulations on winning the Freedom of the Isle of Wight I love the Cagney & Lacey theme tune too. I agree with you about the Reed Mathis Stinson song. I try not to overuse it. Stay cool, cool dude.

[@RalphWoodcock]

I like the theme to The Prisoner. The video that goes with it is pretty dramatic too.

[@cdwc]

I need to watch the whole of The Prisoner at some point.

[@travelbuzz1]

Another superb walk, Cool Dude My favourite TV theme is the end music of The Sweeney. Excitement over - time for bed 😴

[@cdwc]

The Sweeney had excellent music. The responses has made me realise that theme tunes were much better 20 years ago.

[@johnharker1888]

Greetings o cool one, I think I must be telepathic coz I've never had a wrong answer to you quizzes! Or maybe I'm just lucky, love the time-lapse footage more of that please, my favourite themes were the Wombles , Six million dollar man and Sapphire and Steel, hope you do something spooky for Halloween 🎃

[@cdwc]

I watched the first six episodes of Sapphire and Steel the other day. It was absolutely terrifying. Just started editing the Halloween video. Nice one.

[@sfsunday74]

what a gorgeous day for a walk! my fav tv theme tune is "Good Times". We loved that show because it was cool (obs) and because it took place in Chicago, where my dad worked sometimes. Great gospel style theme tune written by Dave Grusin. like the Partridge Family tune back in the day too

[@cdwc]

I just listened to 'Good Times', that was a good one. Dave Grusin was also a genius.

[@sfsunday74]

@@cdwc yeah he wrote tons of great film scores. The Jeffersons theme tune always get talked about here but Good Times is a better tune (& was a better show)

[@Wroaths]

The real adventures of Jonny quest had an amazing theme tune. Better than the cartoon itself

[@cdwc]

Will check it out cool dude.

[@dl7905]

Blimey I remember Children of the Stones!!! Favourite theme tunes: - Grange Hill - Last of the Summer Wine - Captain Pugwash

[@cdwc]

Children of the Stones is definitely worth watching again. Ommmmmmmmmmmmm (that is my impression of the song)

[@anthonyhatter196]

Cracking series, sir. with regrds TV themes, Rhubarb & Custard, or Grange Hill for the younger audience, moving to Airwolf in your teens. And I think you asked about favourite places to vist/walk in the last video. I would have to suggest Little Solsbury hill, outside Bath. It features in the Peter Gabriel song of the same name, though not in the video ( was it directed by Sunglasses Marek?) CD #123 PS, yes, all landowners should be required to maintain footpaths on their land by law.

[@cdwc]

Ahhh, I wish I had asked sooner, I was recently in Wiltshire for a short series of walks (coming soon).

[@robertsebire9937]

love the videos marek . found your channel via the guernsey coastal path videos , I live there and have worked on the cliffs strimming those paths either side lol keep up the good work

[@cdwc]

Thanks for the strimming cool dude, they are excellent paths.

[@englishcat19]

Favourite theme tune is Prisoner Cell Block H, nice one cool dude

[@cdwc]

That is a good song.

[@budget_camper]

Thunderbirds! or for a completely left field one, the theme tune to Credo.

[@cdwc]

Just listened to Credo, good brass work on that.

[@katiiakt7044]

My favorite themes from childhood Knight Rider, MacGyver, Golden girls. From teen years Beverly Hills 90210, Friends. Also loved The Heights ´ theme ( this one was short-lived series )

[@cdwc]

The original Andrew Gold version of Thank You for Being a Friend is one of my favourites.

[@lisaperry345]

I commented on your vid last night but it seems to have disappeared. It happened with your last vid too so I commented again. Very strange.😂 Aaanyway, well done Marek. My favourite theme tune in the 80s was boon.

Woah! Looks like the middle of July there - and the skies above a coastline are always stunning to look at.

[@cdwc]

It was the middle of September, a great day for a walk. I think it might be warmer at the moment though.

[@MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

2:55 For me (and I'm undoubtedly forgetting some) the theme tune that broke out of the "jingle genre" was Gladiators, I can still listen to that without the depressing whiff of nostalgia setting in. The best theme tune I think is Only Fools and Horses, long enough so that when I hear it in another room, I know how long I've got to get my food & drink and sit down, lol.

[@cdwc]

No Income Tax, no VAT. Excellent.

[@alanmaynard7842]

One of the best walks on the Vectis so far. Been to winkle street many times. Pity about the wheelie bins, but that’s progress I suppose. Favourite theme tunes were Thunderbirds and Fireball XL5. Love the painting. Already put a bid in. You should turn them into prints so more people can appreciate your work

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude. I will put them in the zine about the walk I am making. It always takes me much longer than I think.

[@alanmaynard7842]

@@cdwc But worth it👍

[@russellc8282]

Well done for completing the set of walks, really entertaining. I got the first question wrong, in the first video, then was not bothered anymore, no prize anyway, so what's the point...

[@cdwc]

This is not the attitude Russell!

[@Manoghosts]

Brilliant video, there's an excellent audio adaptation of Children of the Stones with Reece Shearsmith via Bafflegab Productions. Also would recommend Moondial, Earthfasts, The Owl Service and the Children's Film Foundation Collection Volume Four: Scary Stories (DVD) for other spooky folk horror children's programs.

[@cdwc]

Will check out that audio version cool dude. I remember watching Moondial when it was first on. I read the book this year and really enjoyed it.

[@Skunkola]

Beautiful views again, what lovely weather we've had this year, loved it. The Equalizee was indeed the best, Airwolf was prety decent and Hardcastle & McCormick was awesome but for some reason they changed it in season 2. Starsky & Hutch was another goodie as well as The Professionals which was favourite for incidental music during the show (previously looked to see what the library music was but to no avail). If youve a Morrisons on the island you might like their granola cookies things, amazing lunch fodder.

[@cdwc]

I had not heard of Hardcastle & McCormick I just watched the first series intro. Great song, the programme looks pretty bad. Morrisons is too far away unfortunately as I don't have a car.

[@hosephanerothe1440]

Cool hat is getting a battering ! 👍🏻

[@channelfadge7438]

Dunno why but I always loved the theme tune to Jonny Briggs

[@cdwc]

Great trumpet work.

[@B3tanTyronne]

My fav telly themes include 'tales of the unexpected' - always scared the poop out of me as a child, 'Doctor Who', 'Blake's 7', 'Space 1999', 'Thunderbirds', 'The Prisoner' and 'Airwolf'.

[@cdwc]

I must watch all of Blake's 7 at some point. I am currently watching Survivors and very much enjoying it.

[@B3tanTyronne]

I lost count the number of times I posted the intro to survivors whilst in lockdown on twitter :) As for Blakes 7, this is a show I hope they never remake/reimagine as, although it had a low budget and some roapy episodes, the remainder are well written and in some cases very adult in their material, and it is one of my all-time favourite shows.

[@munkeypants1]

Great ending to this series - my fave walks would be those from days 5 and 6. There were some amazing “big sky” views on day 6. I recall that my favourite tv show theme tunes when i was a nipper were that of “The Banana Splits”, Spike Milligan’s Q7 and Bob Godfrey’s “Noah & Nelly”. And good luck with seeing Giant Redwoods, i finally saw some in Golden Gate Park 3-4 weeks ago but wish we could have afforded to cross the Golden Gate Bridge to visit Muir Woods to see some mature trees (San Fran is ludicrously expensive)

[@cdwc]

When I get a million KZbin members I will get a ticket to the States to do some walks. I want to watch a baseball game live too, the minor league ones look cool.

[@mandyedavis7978]

I was born and brought up on the Island and my family always called it Shorwell as it is spelled but I think my Nan’s generation pronounced it the other way. I loved the theme tunes to Double Deckers, Rentaghost, The Monkees and Bananas Splits when I was a child in the 70s

[@cdwc]

I remember when the Banana Splits was my favourite programme. Excellent.

[@flechesbleues]

The theme from Detectorists always makes me smile (probably because the programme itself is so lovely). Don't think it's old enough to be a 'classic' yet though... Somebody already mentioned the Family Ness and it seems that the same chap also made Jimbo and the Jet Set, which itself also had a great theme tune (also by the same, different, people)!

[@cdwc]

I had forgotten about Jimbo and the Jet Set, the animation on that and the Family Ness were great.

Congrats on completing another epic walk CD#1. If you want to see Giant Redwoods then there are two in the New Forest at the Blackwater Arboretum. Allegedly there are around half a million in the UK at different locations. Failing that, get to Oregon or Vancouver Island.

[@cdwc]

I did not know that about the New Forest. I want to see a whole forest of them ideally.

[@EccentricAuntWanda1]

Lovely series . Regarding the challenge, I checked the probability for this series and if chosen randomly, there is a 1 in 121.5 chance of choosing all of the correct answers. This isn't a perfect figure, because it is clear that no one would choose Bob to build the light house in challenge 5, and maybe not the codpiece in challenge 3. Nevertheless, it was a tough series of challenges to survive!

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude. I think two people completed the challenge according to the comments, it was probably a bit too difficult early on. I will adapt the questions in future, but I normally set them towards the end of walks when I am too tired.

It all depends where you are staying as the Sunday bus service is terrible. I would go somewhere close to where you are based, Ryde is not that great if you are based there, but you can walk along the beach path to Seaview.

So… You don’t like pigeons and you don’t like mice and rats. I assume that means also Guinea pigs and hamsters etc. You don’t like dogs and I assume cats too. You definitely don’t like cows. You are not allowed near sheep, we all know why. I fear that the only animal you appreciate is the red squirrel, and only because you can’t find one regularly enough to hate. And quite frankly you eat way to much pig in the form of sausage and ham so you clearly don’t appreciate pigs alive either. Is there any animal you like Marek? 🤔

Theme to Robinson Crusoe 65-66.

[@cdwc]

I will have to google it.

I guessed flag A in the challenge and plunged the Isle of White into darkness and I'm HAPPY about it! Take that Isle of White.... ALL HAIL MORON!!!!!!

[@cdwc]

Moron is pleased that you agree with him. Everyone on the Isle of Wight is displeased and also upset that you called it the Isle of White.

[@HikingWithMartin]

@@cdwc ahhhh i dont know why i did that, ive been there so many times as well.

[@zippy4star]

Did anyone else fail at the final hurdle? Sorry for plunging the Isle of Wight into darkness.

[@cdwc]

My electricity bill is going to be huge.

[@chegeny]

I can't believe I chose B and won the Freedom of the Isle of Wight First challenge to make it through all the way I believe. The Protectors theme music takes me back to my early childhood back in the Jurassic. Actually, I like the music you use. Stinson - Reed Mathis has a nice quality about it.

[@cdwc]

Congratulations Cool Dude! I think you must be the only winner. I think there was a less than 1% chance of getting through so you must do the lottery immediately. I love that Stinson song. I spend hours going through all the KZbin music and building up a library of things I like. My other favourite is Boreal, and the Corbyn Kites stuff.

Cities of gooooooooooooooooooooold

[@cdwc]

Ha. That was one of my worst theme tunes.

[@gander4872]

My favourite was The Money Programme. When the theme started I would do a manic Cossack dance which continued until bedtime. Just been bingeing Taskmaster (Really dislike the theme tune though) and hoping you are a contestant somewhen. Cheers cool dude

[@cdwc]

When I worked for a media monitoring company around 2001 time, I had to watch every episode of the Money Programme as well as lots of other stuff. I was surprised that it became one of my favourite television programmes. I liked the bald bloke called Adam and the bloke with the frizzy red hair.

[@ChrisArmstrong1310]

Can’t believe you didn’t mention Battle of the Planets.

[@angiemurphy2423]

Favourite TV themes include, Robinson Crusoe, Follyfoot, Dr Who and Hadleigh. Current TV themes are not as memorable as they used to be.

[@cdwc]

I strongly agree with you that TV theme tunes are not as good any more.

[@judybee]

Here we go again.....comments mysteriously evaporating into thin air.....if at first you don't succeed, try, try again I guess....Soooooo, 2nd time of trying....in a nutshell, love the last part of the Vectis Trail, and the painting 🎨of Winkle Street, just wish I could afford to bid on it! Looking forward to the Zine with the images. Tunes too many to mention, but Hill Street Blues I always liked, Dallas (you ain't never gonna take John Ross...) and more recently Poldark theme music. And husband insisted I mention Star Trek or I will not Live Long and Prosper otherwise and will be beamed up. Can I please have a small portion of the Freedom of the IOW as I got 4 out of 6 right including B today! (my freedom portion being the bench in Rhylstone Gardens by the Elvis Plaque!). Hope this message stays up and doesn't replicate like the last video! x J x

[@cdwc]

Four out of six is enough for weekend freedom of the Isle of Wight. I have no idea why comments are disappearing, someone else said it has happened to them. I have had replies disappear sometimes too, may KZbin is not refreshing properly.

[@Niac022]

If I had to choose specifically the main themes I would choose M*A*S*H and Golden Girls. If I had to choose shows that over all have amazing music in them I would choose Walking Dead and MTV's Teen Wolf; just so much excellent instrumental music in both these shows.

[@cdwc]

The Andrew Gold original of Thank you for Being a Friend is one of my all time favourite songs.

[@michaelwhite8031]

I walked in a redwood forest once and it made me wonder how forest Indians to live in such places, as they are freezing.

[@cdwc]

I'll pack a warm coat when I go.

[@iangee3311]

Grange Hill for comedy tune Original Avengers 1960's theme for power tune.

[@darklordmattman7704]

trapdoor was the best music

[@cdwc]

A lot of people agree with you on here.

[@chickahn]

One of my favourite theme tunes was Tangerine Dreams theme for the short lived Street Hawk. Another of those post Knight Rider "Super vehicle" shows. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqe7mZudicunfcU

[@cdwc]

I remember watching the first episode of Streethawk thinking he was the epitome of cool (even though I did not know the word epitome back then).

[@Solaar_Punk]

Oh yes I remember Children of the Stones. It was probably better than Dr Who The Stones of Blood (which maybe was inspired by it).

[@squalloogal]

I’ve condemned the island to darkness. Moron wins. But I flunked out week 1 so…

[@cdwc]

I can't believe Mauron has taken over the Isle of Wight thanks to you.

[@squalloogal]

@@cdwc devastated…you know, like the island.
