UK Weekend Breaks | SURREY | Box Hill, North Downs Way, Greensand Way, Reigate Hill

[@karlwatsondocs]

Hope everyone enjoys the new video. This is the first one I've shot on my new Sony A7siii camera, so make sure your playback settings are set to 4K :) Next episode in Dorset was actually filmed BEFORE I got the new camera, but after that it'll be 4K non-stop. Looking forward to having loads more practice with the new kit, improving the quality and seeing the results :)

[@mattharper4579]

It's all good 👍 the best you have done .. Now u ave 4k.... When doing HDR... Lol what a load of 💩💩💩... Good film is not the pixel count... It's the way u shoot it... And u and I know the filming don't make the 🍿🍿🍿🎥🎥🎥🎥

[@brandonsteinbach4208]

It doesn't matter if it's a trip to a foreign country or right in his backyard karl ALWAYS makes really fun and uplifting videos.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers Brandon :)

[@neilbarnish6964]

Thank you for this. I grew up on Box Hill and really miss the serene Surrey countryside now that I live in Chicago.

[@simian5805]

I am NEVER disappointed in your films. The UK really is a little slice of paradise.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks very much :)

UK is so underrated . It's so beautiful ❤️

[@kandychapman5578]

I am so happy to see you back with your travels. Cheers from Kansas USA

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks 😊👍

[@TheLondonForever00]

That's the one thing about living in Surrey I love so much, I'm surrounded by this everyday. Great video.

[@andyc1192]

I was born in redhill, its amazing how much nature and walks we really do have local too us, always take advantage of it at every spare moment you get!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Yeah I’m lucky to live here 😊

[@johnvanderhulst4778]

Thanks Karl for another great video, greetings from the Netherlands.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers John :)

[@apluscast]

It's not an official Karl Watson Video without at least a couple of beers and a few Lord of the Rings references. Loved it!!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Haha cheers :)

[@drew4021]

I can see how touring your backyard may be boring but for someone who lives halfway across the word in NYC, it's quite enjoyable

[@Londonlenzadventures]

Loved the video, just returned from a weekend in surrey hills myself, so many beautiful walks around there. ❤

[@introvertnomads4243]

Great video Karl. Good to see Chris Back!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Yep was so much fun filming with him again :)

[@kathkath77]

great video & loving these UK weekend breaks series! thanks for showing us around 🍻

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers :)

[@InAUGral]

This video just makes me wish here in Australia everything was close enough that we could go on a "pub walk". The mix of nature and beer sounds intriguing.

[@craftybarb6220]

Loved these two videos, I lived in Horley and went secondary school in Redill many many moons ago. Camped with the Girl Guides in a tin hut on Reigate Hil for an Easter Weekend. And my first home as a married lady was on the Reigate Redhill border.

[@lionellow105]

I rarely comment, but I was looking to go to University of Surrey as an international student, and you cannot imagine my reaction when I saw how beautiful Surrey was. I am also a photographer, and something tells me it will be magical

[@hassymiia6267]

Beautiful places. Rolling hills so lovely landscapes of Britain!

Whoaa, what a nice suprise to get a great video from you today, i'm watching it on my tv and got to say, the quality is outstanding - and i'm loving the countryside. Cheers

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks very much! Glad people are noticing the difference with the new camera. Although the Dorset video was actually shot before this with my old camera 😊

[@oldestpartofheaven]

@@karlwatsondocs i was almost about asking, what camera have you used for this? It was almost hdr like 😅

Another great video! My family goes to Skimmington Castle every year for a christmas lunch/ drinks meet-up. A great little pub that one.

[@karlwatsondocs]

I bet their Christmas menu is amazing!! :)

[@olir-h6188]

Awesome vid mate - they never dissapoint! Keep them coming!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers 😊

[@trinayan1]

Hi Karl. First of all, what a lovely video. Second, what a beautiful and peaceful neiģhbourd you have. That nature park, the stable and the sunset view from up the hill. Some things that money cant buy. One just need to experience.. Someday after the end of this current pandemic, whenever i get a chance to visit London, i would definitely keep a day or two to personally visit these places.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks! Yeah make sure you get out of London when visiting the uk 😊

[@martinacatinelli]

Lovely. I did my pilgrimage across the same route last summer too.

[@MrCushcam]

We never appreciate what's on our doorstep. Great vid Karl, greetings from Newcastle!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers! :)

[@diannahaines350]

I'm going to be honest, I enjoy all your videos, but the ones you've done travelling around the UK are my favourite. I am an Aussie who secretly believes my spiritual home is anywhere in the UK so I'm probably very biased. Thanks for keeping me entertained while I am unable to travel :)

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks Dianna 😊

[@sebastianmarvani7671]

Love this 😀❤ ... I'm actually going for a walk this weekend to see the local sites because of this video! Feeling inspired mate!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Nice one! :)

[@christophermills99]

Very enjoyable video, always great to explore what's in your backyard!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Always inspiring videos, never had the chance to go to UK, but now can get a good insight. Nice series. Looking forward to the next.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks Carolyn 😊

[@johanley5129]

Haha "Don't worry Chris it's only 200m above sea level" Loved the video! It was nice to see Chris in another video

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks 😊 was great fun filming with Chris again

[@marymagdalenedas]

This pandemic has led us to discover so many beautiful hikes and walks in our own little town. It's amazing how much a place has to offer. Wonderful episode as always.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks 😊

Moved away from England 3 years ago and this video made me miss home! Really enjoyed watching it and look forward to the next one 🙂

Good to see u back 👍👍

[@IFentonito]

Karl come to Norfolk! We have The Norfolk Broads, many nice beaches, and Norwich itself which is a beautiful city. Horsey beach is particularly nice and is known for the amount of seals that chill on the beach! We've got Pub & Paddle where you do a pub crawl from one pub to another in a canoe, there are loads of fun things to do and see around here. Kayaking on the broads is particularly nice, we'll hit you up! Bring James too 😉

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers for suggestion Rob, sounds great. I’ll make a note of it, like i said in the video will just depend on timings as to when I’ll get round to different parts of the country 😊👍

[@IFentonito]

@@karlwatsondocs yeah all good mate, if you do get time it is well worth a visit! I can recommend all the best places and things to do - [e-mail]

[@JesuisSpecialK]

Loved this..note to self explore my own backyard lol I might do that trail myself if the weather remains sunny. Looks lush.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Yeah make sure you do :)

[@tturner7786]

Loved the country pub 🍻 crawl that was fun

[@Mudassir_Hussain_OST]

Hi Karl, what a coincidence, I was just watching this video half an hour ago with my friend as we were planning to visit Box Hill tomorrow, and I just saw you on South Croydon station. Time stamp 05-May23 @ 22:35

[@karlwatsondocs]

Cheers mate, thanks for saying hello 😊 enjoy Box hill 👍

[@LondonViewpoints]

Great new series, so cool to actually see places in your videos that I know, like Coley Hill and that London skyline view (you had an amazing clear day for it) but at the same time I never knew about Greensand Way, so might explore that next with my kids 😀

[@karlwatsondocs]

Yeah it's a good one reckon they'll love it, but like I said in the video remember to bring instructions as it's not clearly signposted.

[@LondonViewpoints]

@@karlwatsondocs yes, will bare that in mind, lately I’ve been using AllTrails app and it’s really helpful on finding and following public footpaths

[@karlwatsondocs]

@@LondonViewpoints yeah love that app :)

[@NigelHill-l6h]

I know the area so well and it looks so fine in your high definition video. Apart from Stepping Stones up to Box Hill I have not walked to the pubs, just used the Triumph Herald convertible, Cortina III Estate, Reliant Scimitar and more.

[@dresdenfae]

Fantastic video! We’ve done the same here, exploring the Dollis valley green walk and a local reservoir.

[@karlwatsondocs]

Nice 😊👍

[@mrfrano100]

👍🏻 well done. I didn’t think I would move today after yesterday’s beer session. But now I got inspired to go for a hike

I live in Redhill too!! Nice place to stay, its the walks and surrounding area that kept me here. From Reigate hill can lead you to Leith Hill which has a circular walks and its fun and a few more. Love the drone shots. New subscriber too lol.

[@ME-fo7si]

4yrs ago we stayed in a beautiful cottage next to Gatton golf course and stables, early mornings whilst sat outside having a cup of tea the early riders would clip clop past the gate and a little robin would come sit on the wooden chair. The other birds would all march up and across the telephone wires. Magical

[@NinoJaye]

OMG Karl yes! I live in Essex (work and entertain myself in London) and had the same geographic awakening. Now me and my sons go exploring the woods, or to the not-so-touristy beaches. We also found a bluebell forest :). I love this series already!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks! It’s great discovering whats around you 😊

[@johnroley3781]

Hey man that new camera set up is so good! Great video, my dad always has a go about me travelling and tells me that England has everything you need. That's not exactly true but you've highlighted some great spots in the south. We still got you beat up here in the North though 😉 on a side note if you're anywhere near a lidl they've got saigon beer in this week for 99p a bottle. Not exactly as cheap as in country but a nice little drink to trigger some nostalgia!

[@karlwatsondocs]

Haven’t got any Lidl’s near me I don’t think. But yeah looking forward to showing off the north where I grew up in future videos 😊👍

Hated it at the time but realise how lucky I was now that I'm older. I'm born and bred London so was a shock to the system as an 8 year old turning up there. You brought back some memories as we used to do cross country up to Collie Hill all the time

I enjoyed this and was what I had in mind a bit when I suggested you explored the UK, These walks are useful and instead of some glossy trailblazer style movie it is honest 'as we found it' sort. I Must remember to take my card and cash with me for pub time if I get there. I am also amazed at the number of London walks arriving which might be an area to consider. thank you for walking the way ..now where are my walking boots.I am sure I saw them somewhere in the house several years ago. :)
