[@dizzyden1]

Smiled all the way through, brilliant as ever 👏🏼Thank you boys 👌🏼

[@claireg1717]

We visited Bath a few years ago now, I remember it been very hot that week. Cats are a fave of mine too, one of mine, has a piglet tail, both black. Fab ride, look forward to the next episode.

[@declanjoyce8640]

Wow....what a great episode...cheers guys...

[@IckeWalks]

@@declanjoyce8640 thanks mate

[@tassie2348]

Oh we laughed at you in this one. Your humour is infectious! 😂

[@IckeWalks]

Hah. Thank you!

[@VincentHardy-zt3nt]

Another well composed video Gareth, despite featuring in it I still enjoyed watching it, I must be less awkward when in the limelight 😄 Looking forward to the next one,

[@IckeWalks]

Going live shortly mate.

Gorgeous cat, preserved signal box and heritage line. Love it

[@IckeWalks]

@@barbarapearce3634 was great!

[@clairharwood]

Nice one guys! That was a great explore, so much busier than your parts. The amount of times I walked through that station while at uni in Bath, and have only just seen it with new eyes after watching this! On another note, if you find yourselves in Cornwall, do visit the Bodmin and Wenford heritage steam railway station, I get to see the steam trains go past my house and it's a fantastic sight every time. All volunteers run it, and the signal box, levers all still used and fascinating. Then you have the camel trail here, which I think was an old railway line, I'm not sure on any remains but may be worth a nosey (as Mr Picker would say)! I suppose it was tin mining down here, rather than coal... thanks again!

[@antpeel]

The Camel Trail is great! I use to live next to it in the early 1980s. Bodmin Prison worth a visit too.

@@antpeel Not as an inmate , I hope !

[@antpeel]

@@gilesestram haha not as an inmate. Bodmin Jail has tons of interesting history and hangings up to 1909. I use to explore the place before it was opened to the public so i saw areas that people don't see. Very atmospheric haunting place.

[@RobertWilson-gl6xu]

Chuckled all the way through this Gaz.

[@IckeWalks]

Glad to hear it!

[@andylaws4247]

Nice film. I believe there are no maggots in MANgotsfield though!

[@gilesestram]

Yep.....well spotted (heard!) We usually have a quick practice on pronounciations...must have forgot on this one !

[@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235]

Great video Gareth 😊😊😊😊

[@IckeWalks]

Cheers mate.

[@RaggyAl1971]

On the approach to Bath Green Park Station you didn't mention where the former Somerset and Dorset junction with the Bristol line was,perhaps you missed it?

[@gilesestram]

....Yes that maybe true but the S&D was lined up to be filmed later in the day from the South into Bath . Not to mention the fact that that junction isnt visible anymore, or accesible,it being on a construction site above the bridge remains we pointed out, and also missing is the bridge section taking you over Brisol Road onto the current day Trail.

Love the humour of the icke's

[@bwaynesilva]

The cat and Bath Green Park station stole the show.

[@IckeWalks]

100%.

[@stevenberryhill9209]

Again, I like your intro music 👍🏻; may I ask what it is? “Some people think it’s the Tour de France around here” lol

[@IckeWalks]

Maniacs I tall ya! It's 'Along the way' by a band called The Hunts.

[@stevenberryhill9209]

@@IckeWalks thank you

[@tassie2348]

.....and as for that statue.....omg! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@richardperry5538]

Shame as had I known you was in this area I'd have shown you the Underground Bath Stone Quarries and the areas converted for Ammunition Storage during WW2 if you'd had the time.

[@IckeWalks]

We're coming back next weekend, mate. Got lots more to explore on the Somerset Coal Canal. Defo up for this!

The Manx missile, Sir Mark Cavendish would've broken the speed limit

[@IckeWalks]

I reckon he'd have broken the speedometer!

[@narcsurvivors2445]

It's a great cycle route , it can be quite dangerous with the cyclists that speed along there , you've got to have your wits about you .
