I love how your yourself on your you tube channel and making a portion of youtube a happy place 😊

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude.

[@northwall9243]

Rowan's hilarious, you're a great duo! People who bag dog poo then leave it are bizarre, you've already done the worst part - why stop there? Great walk as always Marek, though the gummy pizza is a travesty mate. Would love to see yous up on some Scottish walks someday!

[@cdwc]

I am only coming to Scotland if they sell Gummy Pizzas.

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

Fun fact, the river at Littlehampton was used in the inbetweeners during the scene where Neil punches a fish, climping beach is being washed out to sea and was originally Atherington village and beach but that has since been washed away. I detect along that stretch and would have happily tagged along cool dude.

[@cdwc]

Excellent fact cool dude. Thank you

[@TravellingTorunn]

Good video as usual, and I love the banter between you and Rowan. Really enjoyable and great fun. 😊

[@cdwc]

Thanks Torunn.

[@paulsstrollsnskywatching]

I remember when Double Deckers had raisens or some kind of dried grape in them 👍

[@cdwc]

I think I vaguely remember that too cool dude.

[@infidelcastro5129]

Happy new year, coolest of cool dudes. And remember, if you ever see fit to do any walks in the Cotswolds, our spare room is always available 😊

[@systemSkynet]

mate your channel name is super funny. I got a chuckle out of it. Happy new year

[@cdwc]

Thanks cool dude that is a very kind offer.

[@alanmaynard7842]

Bonus points for walking in the rain. Even so,the walk looked very nice, and Rowen always adds to the walks. I am looking forward to the Isle of Wight myth walks. Happy New Year.

[@cdwc]

Happy New Year Cool Dude

[@liamtucker9358]

Kudos on the Royster’s crisp choice - an absolutely banging snack.

[@cdwc]

They are excellent. I am annoyed there are only five in a pack and not six.

[@squalloogal]

lol Sunglasses Marek is a bit defensive in the rain. He’s usually the bully not the bullied. Lovely walk. Lovely walking companion. She’s so sassy, love it! 😊

[@cdwc]

does not like being wet.

[@Cam11010]

The guy near the end will not be excused but then again i use live near that area and they were very common down there in those parts. lol Good walk

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

Rowan's both delightful and super cute-funny. Great video, too, Malik.

[@dryliner65]

Nice flat walk for your older dudes . If you ever time travel back to the 70s get some Texan bars , that’s like a double decker without the bottom deck 👍😎

[@cdwc]

Those Texans sound delicious.

[@RedshiftDougal]

Oh boy, I can see the Texan wrapper in my mind's eye, in magnificent detail! *Loved* them. Even if my little kid jaw and teeth had a hard time with the chewiness. Nice one for the nostalgia bank. 🫡

[@lisaperry345]

Happy new year Marek. My top three worst things at the moment are rats, people who show off on ice rinks(this is a new one) and Litter. Well done to the competition winners!

[@cdwc]

I expect the ice rink show offs is seasonal. Happy New Year.

[@matthewmulvale5747]

Yay ! 😃👍 Marek & Rowen are back. 👏 Happy New Year guys. I don't know if you celebrate Christmas, so hope you enjoyed the Festive Season that we have at the end of December. 😃 That looked like a nice walk, apart from the 'Weather Bomb' that hit you. Two comedy names for the price of one. 'Bognor Regis' & 'Little Hampton'. (Ask any Englishman on the meaning). Sadly never been to either, but am reliably told that the whole County has some really nice places. My 3 hates are people who speak loudly in Restaurants, driving through the countryside and being overwhelmed by the smell of Cow poo, & treading in Dog muck. 😡 If I had to be locked in a shop, I guess it would have to be Ann Summers, & I'd just go hungry ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 Seriously, probably a shop that sells lots of lovely Chocolate. Take it easy guys, keep up with the great videos. Glad you weren't affected by that awful land-slide in Bonchurch the other week. 👍

[@cdwc]

Happy New Year. Enjoy Anne Summers cool dude.

[@hikingsolo]

Great walk again. Love the chemistry of you two. A bit surprising pigeons didn't make your top 3. I recently translated an episode of Rocky & Bullwinkle, where pigeons took over the world. Scarier than any horror movie I've ever seen!

[@cdwc]

I can't believe I forgot to mention pigeons

[@colinlaski112]

[@EccentricAuntWanda1]

Fun one - the appearance by both sunglasses Marek and a guest star made it even better. Such drama with the impending storm!

[@herewardparry-jones841]

Great work mazza

[@cdwc]

Nice one Hez

[@catnipforclones]

It's nearly a problem how often I find myself saying "Nice one, cool dude" to people. Like at the shops, on the bus, in court, etc etc.

[@cdwc]

Nice one cool dude.

[@mandyedavis7978]

Only been to Littlehampton once by train from Havant and we went in the funfair with our then 9 year old daughter (now 24 going on 25) it wasn’t that exciting as we can tell from the bored expression on her face in the pictures I took at the time 😂

[@cdwc]

Ha. That is always a good barometer.

[@simon1066]

Looks great fun! I’ll try this walk in the Spring 👍

[@cdwc]

It is a good walk cool dude

[@tommitchell5315]

My local walk when living there in the summer. Best to do when the tide is out when you can walk along the beach from Little Hampton to Bognor Regis and beyond.

[@cdwc]

It was a nice walk despite the weather, although the rain probably made it a lot quieter.

[@tonyadeney1245]

good walk - ordinanace survey used to do a nice series of circular walks by area // like south coast ..

[@cdwc]

Excellent I will keep a look out for them.

[@neilmeadowcroft7569]

Another great video, if a bit of a wet walk. Stayed with my Auntie in Littlehampton in the 80s and spent a day at the Butlins in Bognor Regis, sadly didn't recognise any locations in the vid.

[@cdwc]

I missed out about five clips by accident when we talked about Butlins and showed the outside of it.

[@grrfy]

Happy New Year Cool Dude!

[@cdwc]

You too cool dude.

[@tinfoil6150]

I also love Double Deckers...full size though please! You two are great on walks together 🙂

[@cdwc]

Nice one. Thanks cool dude.

[@stevesmith3990]

Happy new year Cool Dude #1.

[@cdwc]

You too cool dude.

[@oggie114]

True story, I used to be a food section manager for M&S and once got locked inside the store at night. The security guards apparently didn't know I was still there when they closed the shop! It was not the fun experience you migh imagine.... They were also a terrible employer all round, but perhaps it was just that one shop I worked at that was particularly bad!

[@cdwc]

I am boycotting M&S from now on!

[@chrisvalentine8949]

Huzzah! I feel your pain about the rain. I have to walk around in it from time to time and it makes me really appreciate a roof.

[@cdwc]

Here's to more roofs in 2024!

[@jiva1955]

Drips can't get wet just get bigger!

[@TheMrMoco]

😎👍

[@cdwc]

[@kieranmurphy6060]

Alright! Good walking. Roysters that is a fantastic snack. You can only buy them if you are in Poundland or near a swimming pool vending machine. The thing I hate is people that sit on the outside(aisle) on buses or trains. When the window seat is available. My mom won't stand for it and shouts , 'shuv'up-wil-ya' and palms the side of their head. She's a stout nightmare that woman. Tar Marek man, keep on walking

[@cdwc]

I agree with you about the aisle seat. Who wants to sit in the aisle!!!

[@stephenhicks7632]

457 members in the randomly generated draw. But, flip, hang on. I'm member 976. I must be a member from the future. Brilliant! 👍

[@cdwc]

The draw is just for those current KZbin members cool dude. That is why there are 457. It has no relation to your membership number which includes members before I put it on KZbin. So you are included in the draw. I just order members according to the length of their KZbin membership.

[@JohnBone]

Another wonderful walk, thanks M & R. All night lock in would be Hamleys so I could play with all the Hornby train sets and Scalextric I never had as a kid. If Hamleys don't sell that stuff, I'll accept any large toy/hobby shop that does.

[@cdwc]

Hamleys is an excellent suggestion cool dude.

[@richardhughes8968]

If naming conventions are to be adhered to then I suggest it should be Littlehampton and Largehampton ?

[@stealthpete]

Great video as always guys! Looked like a thoroughly wet walk! I recently discovered the joys of walking umbrellas- much better than hot and sweaty waterproofs. I’ve used a Blunt Coupe for a while now. They aren’t cheap but can withstand very strong winds. They do multiple sizes but the Coupe is good for one user. Highly recommended!

[@cdwc]

This is excellent advice thanks cool dude. This is the one I found was good from reviews, but too expensive for me: ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/lightrek-hiking-umbrella/

[@kraven512]

I would choose a lock in at the Boise Coop. Lots of fancy food and fancy beers and no

[@cdwc]

The last fact is the most important.

[@amandacope9072]

Cool Baby

[@darkmole]

Mr larwood please please i know you hate Portsmouth but please do a walk here infact make a game about all the things you hate about it... please xx

[@cdwc]

I was looking up an adventure history game thing for Portsmouth. I might do that.

[@lisaperry345]

Happy new year Marek. My top three worst things at the moment ... 1,Rats 2,People who show off at ice rinks(this is a new one) 3,Litter Oh that's a good idea to have a mini Marek photo comp. Rob says I need to up my game. Haha! Maybe I will when I come out of hibernation.

[@bartonseagrave9605]

Could you do more interesting comedy things on the way, for instance, at the beginning you could have thrown yourself off that red bridge, that would have jollied us all up for the journey ahead.

[@readeharfield-pf3fr]

Did you miss the old Fort at Littlehampton near the golf course ? Thought it might get a mention.

[@cdwc]

I think I missed it I am afraid cool dude. Thank you for joining.

[@Solaar_Punk]

I loved the lad doing parkour at the end, maybe you could have a skydiver next week.

[@cdwc]

That would stretch the budget a bit.

[@jadent2632]

How cool to find that egg case!! A walk in the rain can be nice as long as it's not too cold; wouldn't get away with it most Canadian Octobers though it's been warm this winter up 'till now. I'll stick with my books at the moment, just started "The Queen's Physician" by Edgar Maas and the writing is beautiful (but dated at times - from 1948).

[@cdwc]

Winter is always a great time to read. I am reading some H.P. Lovecraft at the moment. Very scary.

[@judybee]

Nice to see the M & R team back on the road together for more fun & adventures despite torrential downpours along the way. Big up to Rowan for walking alongside Sunglasses Marek...brave. Lock me into Busy Bees Garden Centre & let me be with the Singing Reindeer in the Reindeer Storage Room. I agree with Rowan though about a follow up overnighter at M & S afterwards for a snack or two. Thanks for reminding me of my lovely Aunty Joan who used to live in Littlehampton. Look forward to the 2024 IOW Myth walks Marek!

[@cdwc]

What would you eat in Busy Bee though? Maybe one of the reindeer?

[@gthbtn]

I've already done Harrods overnight... was a few years ago helping to move a department on the third floor whilst the area was being renovated. Fun fact there's more floors underground at Harrods than above.

[@cdwc]

I have done Harrods overnight too cool dude. I had a bit part in a film called "Locked Down" and it was filmed there after it closed.

[@gthbtn]

@@cdwc I have just found it on Amazon Prime... Did you really meet Edgar Allan Poe? 🤔

[@simonk337]

That looked rather miserable in the rain, good job you had the ray of sunshine known as Rowan next to you 😊

[@cdwc]

I think she smiles more in a day than I do in a year.

[@PowderedCowsMusic]

My £1 umbrella from Poundland has served me very well through many a storm!

[@cdwc]

This is my kind of umbrella!

[@Vurtonable]

Hang on a second... pigeons minus 1 point!!!! What the hell!!! I thought this war of the pigeon was over and I won. Humphhh. I'm off to buy some Fimo to sort this out once and for all.

[@cdwc]

I keep replying to this but for some reason my reply doesn't register. I said that Fimo pigeons explode in ovens.

[@Vurtonable]

@@cdwc I am currently busy working on my Pigeon Fimo Project and will not be able to respond to anti pigeon comments at this time. If your anti pigeon sentiments are urgent please contact your local RSPCA.

[@peacebewithyou112]

Great double act, please do more vids together. Oh and the Double Decker should have been discontinued in 1976. The best chocolate bar for cool dude walkers has to be the Drifter, washed down with a can of Quatro (maximum joy)

[@cdwc]

This sounds like an 80's Cool Dudes Walking Club lunch.

[@bartonseagrave9605]

P.S. Another interesting thing to have seen was you heading into the sea in a hopping motion and see how far you can get by bobbing up and down. I personally think you could probably get out to about a mile if you use a snorkel.

[@anthonyhatter196]

Was that the world's worst parkour runner at the end of the video? Or someone learning? Cracking walk, I may have to try it. I also think the storm was worth it for the post-storm views and clouds, Cool Dude. I loved the images. And don't diss the chocolate rice cakes. Good fuel for exercise and they are cracking with a cuppa. As for pet hates, 1/2/3 are all people with the phones on speaker in any public place. When did that go from being rude and intrusive to acceptable? Too angry now to answer the question of the day, I need to go and tut loudly on public transport! CD#123

[@cdwc]

I don't know when talking on speaker phones became acceptable. They need to start teaching manners in schools. (I now sound like I am 80).

[@anthonyhatter196]

@@cdwc I once lost it on a train with a guy watching an entire feature film on the way home. Was a bit foolish when I look back at it but I had finished work late and wasn't suffering fools....he sheepishly popped in ear buds

[@wazeroonie6084]

Double Decker eating protocol: nibble the hard biscuity sh1te away from the nougat so you can stuff all the nougat covered chocolate into your mouth in one go. Refrigerate first.

[@cdwc]

The makers of Double Deckers are disappointed with your eating habits.

[@p1nkelephants]

A baseball cap is usually helpful with a raincoat as a visor.

[@cdwc]

Yes, good advice I should have used mine cool dude.

[@WalksWithOlly]

Along with discarded dog poo bags, I'd add tissue, left to spoil the countryside. I spot it everywhere I go and sadly, fail to believe it could be accidental. Happy New Year! Nice to think that this walk was in October and that we're FINALLY past the long fifth calendar season called Storms.

[@cdwc]

It feels as though it hasn't stopped raining since June. I think I have been on walks on most of the few nice days over the last six months, so at least this is a more accurate account of 2023.

[@feetunes]

Happy New Year Marek and Rowen. Walk looked better than a a 3 1/2 I thought, though wet. And if Mermaid's look like Thornback Ray's then Disney has been getting it very wrong indeed.

[@cdwc]

Bogner Regis was a bit grubby.

[@louiserobb2689]

IKEA would be fun, as their cafe and mini-shop bit just after the tills have loads of food options. Daim cakes! Also, Sean Ormous really made me laugh.

[@cdwc]

I might change my name to Sean Ormous.

[@Natalie-mu3ye]

Fighting words from Rowen re double deckers I would want to stay in a Target overnight because I believe they have everything, and there’d be the novelty of a US shop - like being on holiday or in a film

[@cdwc]

I have never been in a Target, I expect they're even better than Tescos.

[@jacquiheywood3142]

A New Zealand company called Blunt Umbrella's makes very strong umbrella's. They are supposed to be hard to blow inside out. Quite expensive though.

[@cdwc]

Excellent. Thank you cool dude.

[@cookster1001]

You and Rowan should make reviewing old chocolate bars a regular thing. Do they still do Revels? I quite enjoy the added dimension of dodging or catching the rain on a walk although it can be dispiriting when you get deluged

[@cdwc]

Yes they still do Revels. I had some a couple of months ago. The coffee ones aren't as bad as I remembered.

[@secretgardenhomestead3251]

I would love to find a great walking and somewhat windproof umbrella! Please let me know too if you find one :) thanks so much. Love your videos as always Marek!

The speed of "What's this BS?", "It's a gift" really made me laugh. I'd stay overnight in Lidl and sort the place out. They're bound to have a sleeping bag and Schubert's unfinished symphony in the middle aisle, so I'd have food, a bed and something to do. Don't buy a Senz Umbrella, overpriced and NOT windproof, bought one in 2016 and sent it back the next day. Last but not least, thank you Marek, and thank you Graham (sorry Graham).

[@cdwc]

Congratulations. I have been looking up the best reviewed walking umbrellas, but they are too expensive. ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/lightrek-hiking-umbrella/

[@systemSkynet]

Why didn't they name them Hampton 1 and Hampton 2? Makes sense to me. Aw man I've not had them Royters for years. I made sure every pub I worked in stocked them.

[@cdwc]

The Roysters crisps are excellent. They should be the very first thing all pubs stock (after strawberry laces).

[@RJ-444]

Wow... I just won a Bronze Marek keyring?! Amazing! I'd like to thank Cool Dude (for judging) and Graham (for making Marek make Mareks). I liked the friendly little ghost cloud at 3:38 and I would be stuck overnight in Selfridges please, mainly because of the food hall. I have a question: is that a discarded poo (minus bag) that Rowan swerves at 10:36 ?

[@cdwc]

I think it was her making a joke about pulling the umbrella away in the rain cool dude. I will put the Bronze Marek in the post. Thanks for the great photos.

Awesome and so proud to win Silver (I'd like to thank my mother, my father......) alongside the great content creators Alison and Becky, I would like to be locked in Canadian Tire which is a bit like a cross between B&Q on steroids and old school Woolworths. There is always a ton of things in there that just blow your mind when you realise you don't need any of it but cannot live without it. One obvious question, should Rowan not get -10 points for not being a member or having a Marek keyring?

[@cdwc]

I am afraid you only get to do a speech if you get first place cool dude.

[@chegeny]

Rigging alone. lol. I really enjoyed this one, Marek. It had kind of an enchanted quality to it. Rowen is an excellent companion. I bought a travel umbrella in Japan a decade ago that's still perfect. I believe Amazon UK sells one that looks nearly the same - Lehwoik Umbrella for £20.
