[@StormchaserJockMcGinty]

Thanks Dave and Logan, beautiful walk and history 👍

[@beejoyful7679]

Thank you for the lovely walk in this charming area, Dave and Logan. It seems England has enjoyed a lovely temperate summer with all the greenery looking very lush. 💕🌳 🦮

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. We certainly appear to have had a lot of rain this year!

[@mikewalker8655]

Cheers Dave! 🍻

[@DaveFord]

Thank you so much Mike. That is very kind of you. Cheers. Dave.

[@adrianhudson1116]

One of my favourite holiday spots, super lucky me, I'm there now

[@DaveFord]

I hope that you are having a good time!

[@stephenlarking2247]

One of my favourites parts of Dorset, thank you for this Dave & Logan. Many years ago I stayed at Powerstock station when it was a B & B, great fun for a railway enthusiast.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Stephen. I imagine staying at the station would have been fascinating.

[@susantaylor927]

Beautiful walk and those properties are wonderful. Glad you two got double the opportunity of research! The music is a joy too! We felt like we had been away for the weekend!😊

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Susan. We only just made it to the final destination!

[@DaveFord]

@@melissaphillips3088 That blue window in the church was stunning!

[@hannureittu4310]

[@gillianhowell7562]

Thanks Dave.I want to save this one. HOME, many years ago.xxxxxx

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Gillian. What a wonderful place to live in!

[@judithg1257]

Another great video, Dave. Beautiful scenery and interesting history. Thanks. Keep up the research!

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Judith!

[@Clinton-p7z]

Hi Dave. Gosh i don't know where to begin, as that walk was absolutely magical. It was like being transported to a completely different era, which in some ways it is. The history you describe and your research really impresses me enormously. The history behind Eggardon was just fascinating. And the countryside is just glorious just as Mother Nature intended it to be. I will continue as usual to subscribe. Oh, and be careful running down those hills!!!. as oppose to 'Running up that Hill' as the song goes. Thank You.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Yes, I know all about hills after today ....... Fiver & I competed in the South Downs Trail 12.5K at Goodwood in West Sussex this morning .... and the course was VERY hilly!

[@keithjoseph5671]

Amazing little village with wonderful houses and stunning trails in the countryside

[@DaveFord]

We were lucky with the weather that day - it brought out the views!

[@bosse641]

That church is amazing, wow such beauty. And a lovely village. Beautiful area for walks. 🙂

[@DaveFord]

I really enjoyed visiting that area - must go back there again soon!

[@SkylarkFields]

Interesting walk with super views! You deserved your pint after running to the pub! Haha!

[@DaveFord]

We got there just in time!

[@SkylarkFields]

@@DaveFord 😆👍

[@lynnwaters]

Another joyous walk, Dave. Always worth a hike up to the site of an ancient hill fort for those magnificent views and so glad you made it back to Powerstock for a second well-earned pint!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Lynn. The views, looking South, from the top of Eggardon Hill are quite breathtaking!

[@cathpeterson1944]

lovely walk thru Powerstock and Eggardon Hill, Logan adorable furbaby leads the way 🐶🥰

[@DaveFord]

Thank You Cath. :)

[@janetcutts7921]

Thank you lovely video

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. :)

[@nigelcase4851]

Great film thanks. I was very lucky a few years ago to visit the old Powerstock Railway Station and was given a tour by Mr Read the owner. I also was given a signed copy of the book written By Diana P Read called 'All change' about how she and her husband bought and renovated the station in the 1960s. I believe they are still there. anyway, great and interesting film.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Nigel. I imagine that tour of the old Railway Station would have been fascinating.

[@CarryonYoutubization]

I do love the Dorset countryside, if only I could live there! Great video (as usual) and love the drone shots you've been putting in 👍

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. The little drone comes in useful for "views" - although it does struggle a bit if there is any wind as it is so light!

[@S1m0nV6]

I do the garden at Thatch Cottage (opposite the church). Such a lovely village. Will take the spaniel next time and do a walk

[@DaveFord]

A great area for a dog walk for sure!

[@lionelmarytravels6003]

That's a very pretty area, Dave. Not one I'm familiar with either! That's surprising considering there was, once, a railway around there. Two pubs on the route. Who's a lucky chap? Plus a selection of crisps for Logan.

[@DaveFord]

Yes, Logan was well catered for that day!

[@jerrygale1994]

Fab video once again. Thank you, Dave & Logan, for creating and sharing

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Jerry.

[@geoffw8565]

Popped into the The Marquis of Lorne 30 + years ago on way between Devon where we lived on way to mother in laws in Sussex. Friend knew the landlord there and said I should pop in for a pint as I'd love it. Was a great pub then ! Lovely area Dave !

[@DaveFord]

It is a lovely pub for sure and the staff were so friendly.

[@catherineshipley5799]

Beautiful walk again. Thank you

[@DaveFord]

Thank you Catherine. :)

[@yvonnefarrell1029]

You: Yvonne, stop saying "Wow". Me: But I can't stop saying "Wow". One thing after another. Thanks, and what a gorgeous church, eh?😊

[@DaveFord]

It is such a pretty area around there.

[@StevenPhillips-g9n]

There's a plaque on the wall in the Marquis explaining the history, I'll have to pop in for reaserch purposes

[@DaveFord]

Oh that is interesting - I didn't spot that. I did ask the lovely lady behind the bar as to what the connection was between the Marquis & the area & she said that she wasn't sure.

[@davidkinsley8284]

Thanks Dave. A very understated church from first view but the inside provides a very rich array of features and artwork as you say. Interesting external feature on the side of the tower with what appears to be two windows. Is that part of a stairwell maybe? Lovely walk and great to watch on a beautiful day. So good to see. Keep safe and enjoy the Dorset Gold.

[@DaveFord]

Thank you David. The church is in such a lovely setting - sitting above most of the village.

[@jeanblemings5352]

Another very interesting video and double pints for you and double crisps for Logan! I think you wore Logan out as he had to be woken up for the second lot of crisps!!

[@DaveFord]

Thanks Jean. The weather was perfect & it was a day for snoozing in a pub garden for sure!

[@youblues2784]

Great video again Dave, any chance of exploring the lovely town of Blandford?

[@DaveFord]

Thank you. Blandford is on my list for 2025!

[@youblues2784]
