I lived in Poole for 30 years, Shore Road, and the beaches were my playground. I had a 30-foot yacht moored in the harbor off Evening Hill until one day a storm dragged it off its mooring and damaged it. I was a resident DJ at both the Sandbanks Hotel and Haven Hotel I was buddies with the owner Paul Butterworth. My friend owned the Scandinavian-designed house Pieces Of Eight complete with an indoor swimming pool, those were the days in the mid-60s Sandbanks was not so developed. We had a beach hut next to the Pavillion there was no problem with parking. John Lennon was a visitor to Sandbanks as his aunt Mimi owned a bungalow not far from the Ferry. I used to sail my yacht to Old Harry Rocks bay drop anchor go ashore with the tender and go horse riding on top of the cliffs at Old Harry. Just watching your videos brought back all the memories, especially Shore Road beach where we would hang out. Times they are a Changin. Thanks for the memories.

Hey, new sub here! I'm a Dorset native, and have recently moved to Windsor for work. Your videos give me so much joy; imagining myself walking along the beautiful coastlines of home!

Hello 😊 thankyou! Ah I do love it here, I feel guilty if I don’t visit the beaches daily ha x

[@chrisstrider]

One of my favourite beaches with lots of dry robe people! Studland beach across the chain ferry is wonderful I must try the sauna

[@KathrynChalk]

Haha yes, it’s a lovely spot! Ditto, and prepare for the cold water dip too

What were all the what looked like garden sheds you walked past very near the start?

[@KathrynChalk]

Lots of beach huts 😊

"Never say never!" Keep it in the back of your mind and you'll be surprised how some careful planning can make things happen! I live in north San Diego county and palms are planted everywhere! They don't occur naturally here either but grow like weeds! People advertise them for free but you have to dig them up yourself - hard to do and they're very heavy!
