Просмотров 730Год назад
In episode 13 of Midlander in the Mountains it’s everything Celtic. I visit the 26th Kelten Festival in the village of Schwarzenbach in the Buckligen Welt (lower Austria), located about an hour south of Vienna. This 3-day annual event in June is definitely worth visiting with a full programme of events each day including workshops, live music, a Celtic market, petting zoo, archery, axe and knif...

Episode 12 of Midlander in the Mountain visits the Motor Museum in Aspang Markt in Lower Austria. Located just over an hour outside of Vienna and accessible by public transport a visit to this museum is highly recommended.

Here I manage to find myself many times! Located just outside of Vienna this castle, park and winter light attraction is well worth a visit and a wonderful experience for all ages.

This episode features the 2022 running of the Sportunion Trattenbach Alpkogellauf, a mountain running race in Lower Austria, about 1 hour from Vienna.

Midlander in the Mountains Episode 9 - Myrafaelle (Waterfall in Muggendorf)
Просмотров 1612 года назад
In this episode of Midlander in the Mountains I am back on my BMW motorbike riding a loop through the mountains, starting and ending in Gloggnitz. I stop off halfway to hike up the Myrafaelle waterfall, located in the pretty village of Muggendorf in Lower Austria, just one hour from Vienna. The episode reveals the gorgeous scenery from my bike as I ride through the countryside and some of the v...

In this episode I visit the historic Grimmenstein Castle (Burg Grimmenstein) and explain part of its history and that of the family Grimmenstein. I even discover the probable origins of the Austrian Flag!

In this episode of Midlander in the Mountains I was lucky enough to be invited to film the 2022 of the Snowhill Xtreme Motorcross race in Trattenbach, Austria. This is a knock out competition where the competitors have to ride up a ski slope on motorcross bikes. There are thrills and spills, drama and excitement all on freezing cold mountain in the Austrian Alps in March. The film also includes...
Midlander in the Mountains, Episode 6 - Rax Alp
Просмотров 2142 года назад
In this episode we experience winter in Austria with snowy mountains and winter sports, although no skiing for me! I take the cable car up the Rax Alp and try out snow shoes for the first time. The Rax Seilbahn www.raxalpe.com/en is located about an hour from Vienna and is easily accessible on public transport. Guided tours are also available but the routes are well marked and you can even brin...
Midlander in the Mountains Episode 5 - Hohewand
Просмотров 2202 года назад
Autumn has arrived and I, the midlander in the mountains, return to two wheels to explore the Hohewand and bring you glorious Autumn colours and views. This plateau is located a short drive from Vienna and is perfect for bikers and hikers who prefer a less strenuous walk in the gorgeous autumn sunshine. Join me on my journey, with new camera angles, before the BMW R75/6 has its winter break.
There is another a/c being restored at East Kirkby. A very rare HP Hampton in one of the side hangers. It`s been on hold for several years now. If you search for Neville Wheeldon on youtube, he does a weekly video update of the restoration, and in his 250+ playlist, has covered some little known areas of JJ and East Kirkby. For example, he did a video on the German searchlights in your film.
I have passed it by many times on the way to Mablethorpe. Never realised it was in use until 1972. Not much evidence of more modern accommodation or facilities. I wonder if the personnel were accomodated elsewhere and it was more of a satellite airfield? I was in the Fleet Air Arm in the sixties and also did a stint with the RAF at Watton/Cottesmore and the buildings at Strubby certainly look wartime era but most airfields were updated around the sixties but Strubby looks as if it was left??
Just did some quick research and indeed all personnel were accommodated at RAF Manby hence the lack of more modern buildings. That small building with the shelving could have been for the boxes holding the Cartridge starters? Canberras certainly used them.
Caffe has been moved to tent and shop is in a converted ww2 shelter as of 14 of September for refurbishment of original
thanks for the tour of Strubby....whilst i have a couple of accounts from there in my files, i have to admit that i experienced nothing or nobody in spirit when i was taken there back in 2012, i found it a very tranquil airfield, well worth a look around though - C
It is tranquil Chris, and I love the fact that the Stubbs family allow people to come and visit the memorial and see the buildings. Thank you for your comment 👍🏻
Hey Craig, it was so lovely to see you this year again! It was a bit of an abrupt end unfortunately. Later I couldn't find you anymore. Will you come to visit us at the Kelten Tage in August (24.&25.)?
Yes Kathi I certainly will. 👍🏻
Hi Kathi, sadly I now can't be at Keltentag due to an injury but please write to me at vonhewittfilms@gmail.com and I'll explain all ! Kind Regards Craig.
OMG!!!! You best have been wearing lederhosen for this edit! A NAFFI Spar 😅, where are the subtitles?
It's not Midlander in the Mountains its on my German speaking films play list. However if you click subtitles and change auto generate German to English you might understand something. But it wasn't made with my usual audience in mind. Just enjoy the scenery and incredibly good film making 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best Film 🎥 ever!!! Congratulations Craig🎉🎉🎉
Thank V.M. for your comment 😘 Best produced so far but lots of room for improvement.
Very nice and informative video. As a Trattenbach-Nebenwohnsitzer we will definitely follow your paths!
Danke !!! 👍🏻

Got to say it's not for me, despite being half Celt, but each to their own 😂. Another good video mate, I'm sure that there were MANY sore heads the next day!
I can't please all the viewers all the time lol 😆. However I enjoyed myself and I learned a lot. If I could have filmed it with a movie crew it would of looked much better but handheld has its charm. But if I had a film crew I'd be professional.
Hey Craig, thank you for capturing all those wonderful moments! This way I could enjoy the games and fire too ❤ Can't wait to watch more of your videos and learn about all the amazing places around me 😁
Heeeyyy Superstar ! Without people like you and your Dad I can't make these films, it was great to chat. I absolutely loved Keltenfest again this year and I'll be back next year....it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your family.
Thanks for another film opening a window into your world, it was great to see so many people enjoying themselves. You really captured the atmosphere and feel of the event, just like you did with the Winter festival a few months ago.
I'll keep trying to improve it Ian. You can watch you tube videos all day about....how to make you tube videos but there is no substitute for experience. I learn everyime.
Great video Craig. Looks like a fun couple of days. Keep the vids coming 👍
What a bonkers thing in the middle of Austria!!! Maybe we’ll come and see it next year, I love a festival!
This place would be soooooo you Kirsty !
Another very insightful well put together and presented video.
Mate....I had a ball !!! Thank you. 😊
Nicely put together video, really enjoyed that. Brought back childhood memories seeing that Simca 1501 (the dark red saloon) in its natural state with the bonnet up. My dad had two, a bile green hatchback which didn't like the damp, followed by a Dijon mustard estate with a handbrake by the steering column poor Dad kept bashing his knee on. I rarely asked for lift.
PMSL ! Mercedes Benz used the classic handbrake by the steering column for years and still do on the Vito Minibus 😉. Although I must say the Simca 1501 has an appeal in regard of its looks alone. Thank for saying it was nicely put together. It was thrown together really as an exercise in quick short filmmaking. Everytime you go out you learn. I spoke to the owner of K.I.T.T. on Sunday and he was thrilled so I spread a little happiness baby.
Knight Industries Two Thousand if you weren’t aware 🤦🏻♂️😆 one of my favourite TV shows growing up. I enjoyed this but I’m not a fan of fake cars ie not kept original. Some beautiful cars in this bunch. Once again a lovely put together video 👍🏼
I get your point but Marcus Ulm has poured his heart and soul into this recreation and it is impressive. We have to remember K.I.T.T. wasn't real either lol !
@@vonhewittfilms2668 you make a good point and I applaud his efforts it’s just more the none originality around cars that a true car enthusiast would notice.
Short and sweet, looking forward to seeing more classics soon, ta
I was expected a jacket comment.....yes the concept of Run and Gun is exactly that. Cheers 👍🏻
Honest and genuine that will do for me, it would be hard for me to leave such a place. I have visited countless little gems like this over the years. Another well put together informative video .
Thank you Marcus I will endeavour to get the content flowing a bit more frequently but I must say this has been the best film so far as viewing figures are concerned. Over 150 views in the first 48 hours which is terrible by most people's standards but great for a little channel like mine. Thank you 👍🏻
I am biased because I love a car museum, but it was really interesting, could spend hours there examining the various vehicles, especially the Jaaaaags and Americana, as well as the beer bottle collection and the appealing posters😂
I don't reckon bias towards classic iron is a bad thing 😉 I did spend hours there and still didn't feel I had done it justice but I wanted to give the casual viewer a general overview of the museum. Thank you for your kind comment !
Another excellent informative and entertaining film Craig, thank you. Who'd have thought there'd be a motor museum where such a unique collection exists in a little town south of Vienna? Really interesting, well put together and presented, and a soundtrack that perfectly suits and reflects what is being shown at the time. Glad to see you looking so well and living your dream.
The place is a hidden gem Ian and I was surprised how much time I was filming there on my own ! I tried to emphasize the passion of the founder, I'd have loved to have had a beer with him. Everything has its time and it would be very hard to get a collection like that together again. It would be great to see the Graef und Stift recommissioned and back driving but even to be allowed to film it was a great experience, its a very large imposing car.
Another interesting series! Great museum with great classic cars! We have never been there. Maybe soon.
High praise indeed from a filmmaker of your standing. Claudia I thank you !
You voice is relaxing 😁
So long as it doesn't put people to sleep that's great lol 👍🏻😂
I'm binge watching! Thoroughly enjoyed this one as well, particuarly how you set the scene, explained the format and then covered the race. TV interviewers could learn a lot from your format, you asked a question and allowed him to answer and followed up with a question leading on from that. The rider's eye view was superb, and the atmosphere was captured really well when it got dark. Really, really good.
Thank you for your comments, glad you liked it. I learned quite a bit about audio during that video...🤣
I thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you. There's a similar nightime woodland walk in Windsor Great Park, I don't know how commonplace they are these days with the advent of LED programmable lights. The music to the fountains was like a fireworks display, wonderful. You're right in your assessment of it as a winter light show and I particularly liked your use of slow motion in Blumenwald, gave it an ethereal quality. As for "After the mushrooms, things got particularly weird", well, we can all relate to that! Great editing, really well presented. Thanks again Craig, looking forward to more videos next year, wishing you well.
Thank very much. 👍🏻Let's hope I can improve and make films more regularly in 2023. Happy New year 🎉
The music which overlayed the video worked particularly well and the presenter continued to mix being informative, fun and relaxed in front of camera throughout. Another very enjoyable video. Well done.
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am "here for that" 😂, entertaining and informative again, microphone /sound seems better, I enjoyed the music you overplayed and the mushroom trip too👍
I worked hard on sound this time so your comments are really appreciated ! It's a massive learning curve. Making a 20 minute video on your iPhone is one thing.....lugging 30lbs of camera equipment round a park all day is something else lol 😆
The Fountain of Light is amazing!👍
.....and I thought leaving the whole light display in and not cutting it down might br too much for people. So thank you. 😊
Yes, a very nice jacket 👍🏴
They always wear better secondhand....lol
Nice jacket 😉
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are welcome Karen, more to come.
Expected to see you joining in, maybe next time. Congrats on passing the 100 mark, 1000 incoming✊🏻, more importantly keep them coming and enjoy it👍, P.S. I thought you said that it didn't rain much there🤔🤣
Yes ! It suddenly occurred to me that both films this summer have been rainy 🌧 But as you know its not always like that 😂😁 Fear not I'll keep them coming. 👍🏻
Didn’t fancy joining in then? Marcus’s feature heavily in your videos which is nice. Not forgetting the “if dad says it’s ok it’s ok “ rule again something I support 😁
The Mayor has 'told' me I have to run next year.....oh boy !
It's Friday evening and I'm watching a video of cross country running of which I have absolutely fuck all interest. Sid, you're a genius.
You're such a nice man ! I'm glad I can keep my ego in check ! I have so much to learn about making films but I try to make up for that with a bit of humour. Cheers Toby !
David Vine eat yer heart out! Great vid, as always, thank you for letting me visit your world for a little while, a wonderful diversion from what's going on here.
Thank you so much ! David Vine......arh now you're talking about a master ! A million and one things wrong with this one but I'm trying to make it snappy get to the point. It was a really enjoyable day though Ian. Thank you for your support. I'm on Instagram aswell under VonHewittFilms. More to come !
Whenever you watch a video where someone has squeezed in a Dirty Harry quote, you know you're onto a winner 😂, really enjoyed it, shame about the weather, but living in Wales I have absolutely no sympathy! Keep them coming and the shorts are a good idea, although knowing you I'm not entirely convinced about the alleged brevity 😩
......knew you'd never fall for the brevity speech ! Thanks for the feedback.....as ever 👍🏻
Great Video, really well put together and very informative. 👌
Thank you very much. I'll just keep trying to get better.
Always take the ladder! Such stunning scenes at the waterfall. To date the best video you’ve done I very much enjoyed it, and yes bring back Sunday trading laws nothing to do with religion but it forces people to slow down and reflect and who doesn’t recall their first registration plates 😆
Thank you for your nice comments. I did feel a bit of wimp not taking the ladder but in the pouring rain I was just a slip away from a wooden box....
Talking of not having a license, remember when we raced each other, you in my dad's car, me on your bike, both without a license? Ah yes, what days Sid.
That was called living......a life before mobile phones, speed cameras and the Internet. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello Sid, Toby here. Adrian has just sent me a link to your channel. I'm rebuilding his stables at the moment and he mentioned you. Loving what you're doing on here, it's better than Midlands Today dude.
Midlands today with Kay Burley......I remember it well ! Thanks for your comments. I'll ask Adrian for your number it would be nice to chat sometime.
Look forward to it.
Wow I'd love to live there, even if I had to share it with Christopher Lee and some sacrificial virgins😂. Great footage, especially the aerial shots, keep 'em coming ✊🏻
This comment tells me you get it ! 🤣 My audience ! More to come I promise !
Best one yet! We really enjoyed this episode and as we were watching said, he needs to get himself a drone… then the closing shots seem to show you have a nice steady one! Excellent work Craig, makes us want to come back and visit Austria!
As an amateur film maker comments like this mean everything... thank you 🤗
Very enjoyable video. Looks like a great place to visit.
Great cafe too ! 👍🏻
It’s about time the Austrian tourist board got you onto the pay roll. Brilliantly presented once again.
It's all part of a master plan......pmsl ! Thank you.
Really enjoyed this one! Nice to see some events and real life stuff happening again :)
Thank you very much. I learned a lot about filming a live event and the atmosphere was great.
Good video mate, rather them than me!
It was great just being there. I learned a lot and the riders were great, despite being seriously under equipped for filming a live event. But you use what you got. Adapt and overcome and all that.😉
Keep up the good work, I was getting vibes of James Hunt and Murray Walker from Marcus and your good self 🤣
James Hunt.....and Murray Walker legends..... I just can't help getting excited at motor sport meetings !
Another great video I particularly liked Marcus but then all Marcus’s are awesome
They are indeed....and Markus Tisch is a great guy.
awesome video, 💪💪✊✊
I tried my best. The race is fantastic. Riders have real guts !
Great man! See you next year🤘🏼
You will 👍🏻
