Brilliant as always Freddie, I'm going through a bit of a difficult time at the moment but your video's certainly give me a lift, keep them coming and thanks 👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thank you, Keith🙂

[@IrishBog]

Hi Keith. I too try and find moments that bring joy or laughter in the middle of bad times. Stress and worry can be so corrosive and make it harder to deal with life’s problems. These videos always bring smiles

[@petersheppard6085]

Loved your enthusiasm for the County of my Birth....I've had to defend it in the past, with people insisting it was just flat and boring. Well done Sir.....and a nice bit of filming by Monica.....

[@WerdnaLiten]

A great mini series; makes you realise you don't need to travel massive distances to have an enjoyable tour; no matter where you live.

[@alexandercoll4863]

Freddie, I love your channel. You talk about the true side of motorcycling and it’s about the places our wonderful machines bring us and the memories forged with them. Brilliant!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Beautifully said! Thank you Alexander🙂

[@BionicBikers]

Spent many years exploring Essex it holds a lot of surprises ✌️

[@splodge5714]

A great two parter. I ride out to Burnham and Maldon often but as your Kent videos got me out to Knole and Eynsford so this one will see me visit Clayhill Vineyard and try a glass. Cheers🥂🍷

[@johanswede8200]

When Monica is giggling behind the camera...life is good😘😘😘

[@petedoherty8297]

Another brilliant video Freddie. Both my wife and myself really look forward to you posting these on KZbin which we find more entertaining than mainstream TV. Both you and Monika present a superb, refreshing and above all informative outlook on the areas you visit which is far superior to most travel programs we’ve ever watched. Keep up the great work. Regards Pete

[@klapphelmfahrer4148]

I enjoyed that, I was born in Essex, you have shown my county in a way that I have never seen before, I am going to have to come back soon. Thank you. Glad Monica and you enjoyed it.

[@geoffluck]

Great video Monica and Freddie, I live in this area, there are many historically fascinating places here to discover. Monica does a great job, and her laughter is like water music,your energy infectious.

[@jasonadams5187]

Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika

[@oblahdes]

Lovely, especially the mud jump and Monika in pursuit whilst whispering a comment. That church was awesome.

[@debenhamdave4314]

Great to see places on my doorstep

[@debenhamdave4314]

that im not familiar with, as always great vlogs thanks Freddie and Monica

[@peterhollis8291]

Excellent video Freddie, Essex is so underrated and deserves more exposure, my family used to travel out of east London on day trips in the 60's and 70's when I was younger. I remember how quiet it was and it looks the same now as it did back then, still as peaceful, keep up the good work both of you 👍

[@mantarayal]

The magic continues and grows guys. This was so entertaining. Great to see you Freddie on Missenden Flyer. Told anyone that had yet to enjoy you and Monika that they were missing a treat. And this video (like all of them actually) confirms it!!

[@FreddieDobbs]

That’s very kind of you, I hugely appreciate it🙂

[@colinpettit3448]

We stayed in Burnham on Crouch for a couple of nights and it really is a delightful town. We drove on lovely country roads to the chapel and went for a great stroll around the sea wall towards the power station. This part of Essex is very unappreciated we think. Great video Freddie and Monika.

[@ianderbyshire384]

Evening Freddie I'm a newcomer to your channel. I'm really impressed with your camera work, your very genuine presenting style and the overall lack of pretentiousness which is so common on TV these days. Not that my opinion is worth much, but please don't change a thing, great stuff, best of luck to you. Ian

[@drbhaskardas25]

Lovely video as always ., lovely people ., lovely Essex., lovely music ✌️ and I am jealous of both of you 🤩

[@Signals927]

Great video from an Essex viewer.

[@gdfggggg]

Really enjoyed this one. When you walked into the church it really got the emotions going. I'm a sucker for the incredible history of this island. It's was like watching a proper series on the box. Well done guys. Look forward to the next one.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Delighted you enjoyed it! Likewise- once I start looking into the history, I cannot stop!

[@jimjones7909]

well done Freddie and Monika, its good to see my home county, through the eyes of others

[@Shinysideup]

I ride those roads around Maldon and Burham a lot, what I’ve realised watching your videos is that I unfortunately taking the Essex countryside and history for granted. Thanks you your videos that’s going to change, thanks Freddie and Monika

[@FreddieDobbs]

You’ve made my day reading this, Peter!🙂

[@robertpewsey8931]

Another great video Freddie, pretty sure most of Essex has been bought up by Londoners doing the "white flight" it's certainly affecting my part of Suffolk. With a huge amount of development going on to cope with it. Good to see the Bonny running well again. Looking forward to more videos from. This region.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Monika and Freddie, This is one thing I absolutely love about your videos and travels, we don’t only get to see beautiful Motorcycles and Cars but the Beautiful Countryside of where you visit. Then there are the lessons about the various places you visit like this old Church. Thank you so very much.

[@terrygreen4338]

Enjoyed the video you can’t beat a bit of history the church is amazing Thanks for taking us along with you both cheers 👍🏍

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

So you didn't make it to Southend. If you had, you could have gone to Bailey's. I lived in Southend in '93 and ate there every Friday after finishing work. The best fish and chips I have ever had. From a northerner and they generally argue you can't get proper fish and chips in the south. Actually, I don't blame you missing out on Southend. Other parts of Essex are more interesting. An underrated county. Excellent video.

[@kskitchens9964]

Best channel ever ,travel chilling and drinking coffee/wine as a fellow Lithuanian I looking forward for your episode from Lithuania especially from Anyksciai /Utena district

[@thecasualcruiser136]

I took the bike out for a chilly new year ride yesterday to see this church off the back of your video. Love the video and channel. 👍🏼

[@chewie8]

I'm definitely not a religious person but that church is a amazing, just think how many different era of people have been in there.

[@geebee6737]

There really was something about that church... Thanks for sharing

[@GertSpierenburg]

Monica is a great filmer!

[@Screamifyoumeanit]

Loved the vid Freddie... Nice to see my current home town on someone else's vids... It's nice here... Glad that you liked and appreciated it.

[@rob2475]

Missed a trick there Freddie. You could have waxed lyrical about the wine you tasted. Lived in Essex for 8 years or so so it’s been nice to see it again. Always, always enjoy your vids Freddie and Monika, so thanks again for another good one.

[@rmil4531]

That’s just lovely. Thank you.Monica is so talented.

[@henryhartley9993]

Nice one Freddie and Monika, love the history lesson, what a simple but stunning church, you could hear Monika take a sharp intake of breath as she walked in....

[@FreddieDobbs]

I think its simplicity made it so special- it did have a feeling about it⛪️

[@nickthorpe5990]

Great tour. This should be the first in a series of videos.

[@biker_dale]

You can't beat Britain for history, it's full of it, as well as good biking roads and places to see. Great video you two. Ride safe

Introduced to your channel by TMF when you met at Tobacco Dock ! Superb …. Great informative channel, thanks !

You have opened my eyes to Essex. Great, great grandfather came from Maldon. So I will take a trip down there and sample the delights, as you have. Great video Freddie; your relaxed style is natural and engaging.

[@decayintheuk]

You guys have slid into a PR roll and nothing wrong with that, I've learned a few things here and I'll probably visit the vineyard this month, so it's working

[@FreddieDobbs]

Really appreciated🙂

[@richardbartlett6932]

I get the feeling Essex sold itself short with only a couple of days tour.. I now get the feeling they may feel the same.. A joy as always

Thanks Richard🙂 I wish it was longer!

I went to that church and most of the other places on my cycling tour of Essex. Must be a two wheel travel thing :)

[@crumblymal8479]

Awesome old building what tales it could tell of the changes it has seen and yet it sits alone in the middle of nowhere in it's very simple plain form .I wonder what the congregations are like nowadays compared to what it has been in the past hundreds of years .And the food in the Hotel just looked amazing would luv to visit it sometime. Superb guys 😊👍

[@FreddieDobbs]

I was thinking exactly this- imagine the things those church walls have seen!

[@1Selous]

I live up the N Part of Essex and do wander down through there the Tea hut on Haybridge the pub next to it is great food

[@Curiousdriving]

Great video as ever. I would love to see a collaboration with John Rogers at some point exploring the historic towns of Kent and Essex.

[@teneretraveller8980]

Just found your channel. Playing catch up. Great way to start the day with my first coffee. ( I'm an addict, too) Great and very entertaining way to present the world. There are a lot of similarities to myself and the good lady. We travel far and wide, home and abroad on a smaller, lower powered bike. We drive an old fiat ( the mighty panda ) We are coffee addicts. And we live in Essex, about an hour from Ipswich, although as much time as possible in Portugal, as management is Portuguese. Time for another coffee and video. New subscriber, thanks for sharing. Happy travels 👍

[@darrencrudgington2053]

Ok. That’s me off to Maldon tonight.

[@mikepopelka2349]

Perfect part 2. I wonder if Monika would be able to remain relatively calm had you not succeeded the jump. Loved the history lesson, thanks.

Beautiful! As an Essex lad living abroad this video series was an absolute trip. Thanks for sharing! On a bike related note, you may have mentioned in a previous vid and I missed it, are your panniers Hepco & Becker C-Bow bags? How you find them? I’ve been looking at those for my Kawasaki.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks🙂🙌🏻 They are; Hepco and Becker C-Bow Rugged panniers. They have transformed biking for me- I really do mean it. They make travel (whether touring or just commuting) infinitely easier and more enjoyable.

[@30smsuperstrat]

Freddy would you have been a pirate in the days of piracy, so that you could have enjoyed tropical weather? As a watcher from western Washington State USofA I feel connected to the Uk weather😄. When watching your episodes from Tenerife it felt like eastern Washington at times minus the Palm Trees and beautiful beaches 😆

Just a tip to Monica if Freddie is pointing to an area, view or in a certain direction, or at a subject or object then please film it, Freddie can still give a commentary as he is still mic'd up. It would make things flow a bit better. Also it would be nice to sometimes hear the engine of the bike as you ride through the lanes rather than music. Just saying.
