Hi Patr[ck, By co-incidence I have just returned from a week on the Pembrokeshire coast, very enjoyable. The Northumberland coast is wonderful too, so plenty to look forward to in the future. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us this year. I agree with your comments about Premier Inns, they are not fancy, but have everything you need at a reasonable price.
@solitaryrambler7 ай бұрын
Morning Alan, hope you had a lovely time in Pembrokeshire. I'll get there again one day, I'll just keep an eye on the costs of things as we go. Premier Inns are great, better than some hotels or B&Bs I've stayed in. At least you always know what you're going to get with Premier Inns as they are all the same wherever they are. All the best 👍

Hey Patrick, I hope you are well. I really wish I was as organised 😬 I see the logic in your approach. Getting to places is a huge expense! That’s why I have scaled back on my Peak District walks recently. It sounds like you have a very exciting year ahead, lots of lovely walks and vlogging. All the best 😊
@solitaryrambler7 ай бұрын
Cheers Rachel. This is the way I've been planning filming my walks for many years now, and I really enjoy the planning as much as getting out there. Yes travelling further away from home does create more expense unfortunately, but hopefully we'll see you back here in the Peak District soon 😀 Have a great weekend 👍

Thanks for the update Patrick. After your weekly uploads for a month, i didn't expect one for a while. It's not exactly filming weather in winter nor very enjoyable to be out in it. You do well for the output you get during the better months. Looking forward to watching your future travels. You would think with it being the off season that prices would drop. Sadly some are too expensive to visit all year. Best of luck on your walks.

I certainly haven't been out filming this year as yet because, as you say, the weather has not been the best. Hopefully it will improve by the time I start filming again in mid March, so fingers crossed. I always look for deals when booking accommation, so I was glad to find a few for where I shall end up going this year. Thanks for all your support Kelly, all the best 👍

Hi Patrick. I can understand your concerns about the commitments to regular channel uploads, and meeting expectations. It can be quite challenging balancing time and the devotion to what's involved in film productions. I think you're more organised than we are, but as you say working as well makes a difference.p.s. (Premier Inns are also popular with us.)

Hi Shanita, thanks for your kind words as always. I know many people do appreciate what is involved in film making, as you do, but I just like to occasionally politely remind people that it does take time and cost money. I enjoy it all though, and the planning is as much a part of the enjoyment as going out there to do the filming. Glad you like Premier Inns too 👍😀

Really enjoy your walk videos Patrick and brilliant you share them! 👍 I get why you would want to keep costs low for a hobby especially in the current financial climate but I am just wondering if you did some gear reviews or endorsements you would surely attract more viewers and grow your channel and thereby provide yourself with a bit of extra cash? 🤔
@solitaryrambler7 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoyed them, thanks for the kind words. Gear reviews is not something I've ever seen myself doing to be honest. However, people do have the non obligitory option to "buy me a coffee" (Ko-fi) and/or download my music tracks (Bandcamp) for a small fee. Thanks for the idea all the same 👍
@expletivesnotdeleted63627 ай бұрын
Patrick. Instead of booking places that are expensive would you not consider buying yourself a van and do a camper conversion or buy one already converted..this way your not limited to where u can go and film. Maybe worth a look for your travels.
@solitaryrambler7 ай бұрын
Thanks for the idea, but I don't fancy a van to be honest. I do like serviced accommodation, but I always look for the cheaper deals where possible, which I've managed to get for where I'm going this year. It's not so much that I'm limited to where I can go, it's more that I have a budget of what I am willing to pay for accommodation. In many ways it makes things more interesting for me as this time next year I might find good deals to stay in other places I'd like to go. All the best 👍
