Walking through History to the Source of the River Lea (4K)

[@andrewramsey7405]

I love these John Rogers walks in the fields, reminds me of the older walks from John, the best country in the world when the sun shines, I love watching these sunshine walks in the dark drab days of Dec, Jan and Feb. Another great video, You need your own TV show.

[@JohnRogersWalks]

Thanks Andrew - love to get out into the fields when I can. Hopefully get a couple more in before the end of summer

[@arizal36]

Detectorists - one of the best shows to come out of the UK. Have watched it many times and never get tired of it - like your walks. Keep them up! thanks

[@julieblackstock8650]

Little did you know there would be no rain for many long weeks. Still had none here in Suffolk since end June!! The field was Oats xx

[@michaelmiller641]

what a wonderful, atmospheric walk, John, Thankyou for that, and all your walks so far, and in the future, "Wherever that may be!"

[@estherdoyle8175]

How utterly lovely, John. England is very beautiful, beyond beautiful in this instance. I had a bit of a kip this afternoon and dreamed I asked you to look for the source of the Lea. Then I corrected myself in the dream and said that you'd already done the walk to Amwell - yes, mixing up the New River and Lugh's river. Turned on for my Sunday fix and there you were, going exactly where I'd dreamed about. Magic. And you've published this up just a few days after Lughnasa, one of the great quarter days of the ancient world. Honestly, I'm so thrilled. There's no such thing as coincidence ...

[@dorothylubbe2822]

Thank you so much for sharing your beloved sacred place with us. It was a lovely interlude. I Really enjoyed your walk.

[@marty9011]

A summer day, beautiful views, English countryside, a fort, a river - wonderful walk. Thank you.

[@JohnRogersWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it Marty

When I lived in a bus I came up with the theory people echoed the soil they were born on. I came from the Medway valley (shallow chalk) and ended up in Hereford (red clay). Watching this made me realise how beautiful Herefordshire is - I can see South to Monmouthshire and Powys out of my bedroom window, from Sugarloaf Hill (Gloucs SE) to Haybluff (SW), then North to Clee Hill Shropshire from my landing. Blessed.

I wish I could have joined you on that walk, John. Back in the 1960s I moved from Sussex to live for several years in Dunstable, just a short distance from where you were, but never saw Harlington or Sharpenhoe Clappers during my time there . Sadly, I shall never get the chance to follow in your footsteps, as I'm now 12,000 miles away with no likelihood of another return trip. There's such an amazing amount of history and scenery in that part of the world, and I miss it terribly.

As a resident of Harlington and knowing this area all my life I so enjoyed walking with you from my armchair over fields and paths that I remember from many years ago. I remember a walk from Luton to Sharpenhoe in 1955 and it’s been a joy reliving that and other walks of days gone by.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

I felt really excited when I saw your title. I was born in Leagrave 1937 and so close to Leagrave marsh and the River Lea, We played a lot just near the railway bridge and used to go home with buckets of frogspawn, then later frogs n toads.Happy memories indeed. Now this walk. Absolutely stunning, just about the only word I can bring up. Gobsmacking would also suit. All that beauty around me as a child and I have to wait all these years for John Rogers to bring it home to me. Thank you so much

[@JohnRogersWalks]

Thanks for sharing that Smilevideotrains - it was a really magical walk. Great place to grow up

when I was based at RAF Henlow in Bedfordshire in the 1980s a daily drive was to RAF Halton, going across the Chiltern hills you could see severn counties, such a beautiful early in a morning with the mist and the sunrise, thank you so much for this John😊

[@seanjamescameron]

Well that was just fantastic and perfect viewing for those cold winter months when we’ve all forgotten about how hot it was this year. Enjoyed it with a cuppa tea and packet of rich tea biscuits. Beautiful.

Your walk brought back memories of a circular walk I did from Harlington to Sharpenhoe Clappers on 7 May 2021. How I remember those fantastic views you depict so well in your mesmerising video.

Wow... I needed that John, thanks so much, my favourite river, what a treat, I hope you do more like this too! It's one I will re-visit again and again along with may more of your wonderful films

[@jobrimar8291]

My gran was born round there (1908) and remember her stories of dens in the bull rushes, only visited there earlier this year, nice part of the world.

[@harveyward4006]

Loved this one , after 20 years in Sydney you forget how beautiful parts of are and the history at every turn …what a lovely summers day John ..thanks

[@gphunk1995]

Fantastic film. Been looking forward to you visiting the source of the river Lea for sometime now. It’s an area I know quite well. This video didn’t disappoint. Brilliant idea to start from Harlington too. Such amazing views heading towards the Sharpenhoe Clappers. You really captured the spirit of the area. Bravo!!

[@starlightcraftsGB]

I live near the source of the river Lea, happily. It was interesting and lovely to walk the walk with you and see it all through your eyes. Thank you for taking the trouble to video it for us on a hot summer's day :)

[@Seanchai59]

This is the walk I've been waiting for the most. Absolutely fantastic John.

[@drummerdem50]

Oustanding Thanks John

[@TracyPicabia]

Absolutely loved that one. Felt quite like walks I do on the South Downs. Not another soul from start to finish. Except in the pub obviously. Pubs. Towards and away from.

[@SirPrancelot1]

A magical burnt grass walk John. Thank you.

[@MeTheRob]

So Chiltern, but such unknown territory for me. The heat of July seems a long time ago. So pleased you found the source of your river,

[@tomthebomb123]

For the Summer Solstice I went up Deacons Hill which is just off the Ickneild Way. Stunning view across the Chilterns

[@vermeerofdelftscotlandwalk3294]

My dad was a detectorist. Moreover he was a rather bookish and thoughtful fork lift driver - so you can imagine just how much I loved that wonderful series . ✌️

[@TonyCarnell]

What a fantastically enchanting walk John, thanks so much for taking us along with you. 🙂 These mid-Summer walks are the ones I tend to re-watch during the long days of Winter to remind myself of days gone and ones yet to come. And 6:50 - it's been a long time since we last saw a burnt out car on one of your walks! 😆

Lovely walk and video again.Perfect Sunday evening viewing.

[@mungmungie]

A fascinating number of family connections, right out of the gate. I didn't know that John Bunyan had lived in Harlington--one of the places I suspect some of my ancestors lived before 1660. The pavement that people walk around to see Bunyan's memorial at Bunhill Fields was put there after all the headstones were bombed to oblivion. One of the ones not replaced was the grave site of my 3rd great grandfather Robert Finch (1806-1848). My Style ancestors lived in the Chilterns for at least 400 years, mostly Amersham, Little Missenden and Bledlow Ridge. The topography looks a lot like parts of southwestern Ontario where I grew up--except minus the earthworks!

Enchanting walk John. Amazes me, not another soul about! ☺️

Very true Paul - there were a few people at Sharpenhoe but others it was very quiet

[@thegreenrevival4424]

This fills me with excitement! Excited to watch this especially on a Sunday night. Thanks John

[@Steveoaudioandstuff]

From city centre to open country, the variety at the moment John is wonderful. A gorgeous walk, and I'm so pleased you found the Lea water after such a long day. The music choice felt particularly apt this week too, had the feel of a Western! Magical stuff - no change there then. Thanks John.

[@JohnRogersWalks]

Many thanks Steve. To be honest the music selection was influenced by going to see Paris, Texas during the week

[@stanby2712]

Thank you so much John; I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely walk.

[@sheilamillar]

Lovely, like the Detectorists and the music, heaven, also Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing, they fished on the River Lea. One of these days I’ll go toLondon in the summer to walk some of it. When I was in London in the 60’s I did some London Transport walks by Green line Bus or the Metropolitan Line I think which took me out to the Chilterns, I certainly remember seeing Chequers and the villages of Missenden.

[@dfrankpgh]

You always provide a great feel to being in these beautiful places, just like we are on the walk with you. The summer light added to the beauty of your walk too.

Amazing - I lived in Harlington for a lot of my life and know the area well. Great to see all those places again including Sharpenhoe Clapper and Streatley.

What I love about your walks, John, is the fact that I really feel as if I am there, in the moment, as one should feel on a good walk. This was a marvelous one, full of emotion and appreciation of the countryside and history, delivered in your warm, convivial way, and with facts and information to retain. So funny that you talked about the detectorists as the scenery absolutely reminded me of that perfect series. Thanks for providing a peaceful getaway in this increasingly bizarre world.

[@williamrobinson7435]

Sharpenhoe Clappers! What a brilliant name. I totally agree about the sacred nature of rivers, John. This is beautiful countryside indeed. Where I grew up, in E. Yorkshire, we also have chalk and chalk/flint topography, and you can see some similarities, maybe in the character of the people to some extent. You are forgiven for the beer break. Nice one! 🍺👍❤️

Great walk and video! Really enjoyed this..

[@janetsherwood7210]

So enjoyed this walk. Thank you Mr. John Rogers. Have a great evening. Just after 2pm here in east Tennessee hills. Looking forward to your next Video! 🌿🌾🦋🌳

[@zwerdna35]

excellent one today really poignant and immersive. Transported me back to a place in the UK I know quite well from over here in Brittany (where i'm also surrounded by many significant stretches of water too!) ...thanks John

Magical, you make beautifully sublime videos. I really enjoy them.

What a glorious walk! You have to go far to beat an English summer day's walk in the country....
