Amazing countryside with beautiful views and with wonderful trails

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Keith. :)

[@kwilliams9788]

Love being on these walks with Dave and Logan. Such a lovely cheerful soul, the history details and maps of the areas are fascinating. We've been watching for a while and love the Hampshire walks (where we live). Thankyou ☺️

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. I hope that you enjoy the future videos in the series.

[@anthonystratton9927]

thanks Dave and Logan for such beautiful walks it really is stunning.

[@jeanblemings5352]

Stunning walk! Amusing to see Dave Ford fording a ford early on. I loved the derelict barn you passed on the maybe bridleway as you turned north. Burt's crisps seemed to grow on Logan after an unsure first taste! Thanks for sharing your walk with us!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jean. Yes, Logan's favourite crisps are Pipers but he seemed quite happy with Burts!

[@susantaylor927]

Thank you Dave and Logan! Fab walk with those huge skies! Wonderful views and Sublime sea! Really enjoy all you put into your video. Glad you got your beer and boy did it look good! Love watching Logan playing, running and eating his crisps!😊

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Susan. Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Lovely video dave - something of everything to enjoy. Your bag seems very heavy, especially when running to the pub! We stayed in WInfrith and did some of this walk a while ago. Thank you for cheering me up.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Yes, the bag can get heavy. I try and keep just the basics but there is so much equipment that I really do need ..... tripod, Canon Camera (for still shots), spare Gopro & batteries, spare microphone system, water, Logan's ball, bowl & mat, snacks, compass, phone, etc.,etc! I prefer a satchel to a ruck sack as it is easier to get to things quickly (e.g. if I need to get out the Canon to photograph some Deer).

[@thebeatentrack156]

Thank you Dave & Logan, another fantastic walk 😊

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. We were lucky with the weather that day!

[@inarcadia3296]

I'm sure you would love Llewelyn Powys’ “Dorset Essays”. Thank you so much for this walk.

[@DaveFord]

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out!

[@melissaphillips3088]

What a beautiful day Dave for you and Logan to go out walking. Thanks for taking us along with you .☀️

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Melissa.

[@walkingthewyrd]

What a lovely walk, Dave! The very best of Dorset with ancient barrows, rolling hills, pretty churches, fluffy clouds, and stunning sea views! Wonderful!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Nic. The Daggers Gate section was an interesting story!

[@craigmarsh3221]

Good evening Dave beautiful video very much enjoyed looking at the churches the valley you walked up was absolutely stunning view enjoy your pint

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Craig. It is a beautiful section of the Jurassic Coast around there for sure.

[@highlandexplorer990]

Wow, Dave, this looks like such a gorge walk! 🚶‍♂Loved the bit about the five Marys and the history of the village. That church is stunning! ⛪ Def going to add this to my Dorset walking list. Wish my doggo could join me on an adventure like this! 🐾 Cheers for a smashing video! 👍

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. It is certainly a super section of the Dorset coast around there.

[@christhompson7891]

Another good walk Dave, with interesting historical information. Dagger's Gate is mentioned as Dagger's Grave in Hardy's short story ' The Distracted Preacher .'

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Chris & indeed thanks for the information about Dagger's Gate.

[@cathpeterson1944]

enjoy the narrative from Highways and Biways, beautiful views in Dorset

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Cath. It is a fascinating book to read for sure!

[@eldred1809]

10/10 Dave. My favourite Dorset village, walk and pub! Or perhaps that should be 3/3?? Not been able to walk that particular walk for a few years now, but the pub gets a visit every time I'm in the area. It really is stunning countryside and lifts one's mood every time I go there. Excellent work.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. We were lucky to get a break in the weather with that one which was great for the views!

[@rodneytaylor6952]

Cheers Dave.. 🙏

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Rodney.

[@debsmostexcellentadventure5353]

I really enjoyed this ,as dorset one my favs debs xx

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Debs. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SkylarkFields]

Wow, where did that sunshine come from?! A super walk, lots of space for Logan to run, and wonderful open views. Very enjoyable to watch especially as I am not familiar with that area. Thanks for sharing!

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Yes, we could certainly do with a few more "sunny" days at the moment!

[@hannureittu4310]

Nice walk, once more, than you Dave& Logan!( Now i know what makes Dave run.)

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Hannu!

[@ianmccaughan7121]

Its a lovely area Dave. Not one i have been too .

[@DaveFord]

It is a great section of the Jurassic Coast along there, Ian.

[@bosse641]

Another lovely little old church. So inviting. Would love to visit. Amazing landscape, wonderful views.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you John. :)

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

Wonderful walk,, Dave. You were so lucky with the weather too, because March was pretty wet. In fact, I would have expected that ford you crossed to have much deeper. Some very pretty cottages in what remains of the village. Then the rolling downs and valleys with views of the sea and Portland. Those sculptures were very interesting and quite beautiful.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Lionel. Yes, there haven't been that many opportunities for walks in "good weather" in the last couple of months or so - which has meant challenges with the schedule of weekly videos on this channel! Hopefully it will not be too long before we get a spell of sunny and dry weather!

[@markshrimpton3138]

As you were legging it at the end of the video in best Benny Hill fashion I half expected a line of scantily clad ladies to be chasing you!

[@DaveFord]

Alas, my budget for the film would not have covered their fee!

[@markshrimpton3138]

@@DaveFord it should have been an honour for the local farmers’ daughters to chase you off their land.

[@JimNicholls]

Another great walk, Dave, and it seemed that the only people you met were on horseback. You didn't seem happy with the bag of crisps - not your favourite, or did Logan complain?

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Jim. Logan's favourite Crisps are "Pipers" but he didn't seem to mind that brand instead!
