The time I went to Chernobyl
In 2017, before Putin invaded the Ukraine, I explored the abandoned old town of Chernobyl. We check out the ghost town of Pripyat and see where the reactor number 4 exploded at the nuclear power plant causing catastrophic events.

Great pictures, really incredible look at the place
Thanks mate :)
From Italy 👍💯💪 ok Ciao
Amazing video. I am a bit envious, as I don't believe I will ever travel to Russia again, and will never visit this place. It looks very eerie and it is almost incredible that nature reclaims its territory so fast. I loved to watch this, and your way of telling the story is absolutely beautiful and full of respect. Thank you 😊
Thank you. Yes who know when it will reopen again. I'm glad I managed to go when I could.
@@WestGoesEast I am happy for the Russian Waterways cruise I took in 2017, from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
Brilliant Phil it brought a tear to my eye. Really good narration.
Ah thanks mum. That means a lot 😊
Superb. Ive always wanted to go. Great work on the voice over and stitching it all together. What a place
Thanks mate. I'm glad a managed to get to go!
Cheers 🍻 well done, I did it in 1982 1100 miles in 12 days, had to see Lake District and Loch Ness some highland deveastions, so fit after did a 25 miles timetrial in 53 minutes Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Thanks! Good going :)
Very nice art! Good too see woody the dog has made a return since the Arun river video!
Ah perhaps he will have to become a regular fixture... Ha!
@@WestGoesEast yes! Maybe another walking with woody video! Or you could re-do your South Downs way!
Really interesting video, loved watching your cycle of LeJog as it's not something I would ever be able to do so enjoyed joining you via RUclips! Glad you got decent weather and had a good time on your adventure, you've earned a new subscriber! Keep up the good work
Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it and you could join me vicariously through my video :)
Friday is obvs my fav. Can't wait to put your painting of Henry up in my house.....when I have finished renovating!! I think he may go pride of place in the kitchen!
I like Fridays too....prefer Sundays though 😜 Ah Henry :)
@@WestGoesEast hahaha auto correct. FRIDA!!!!!
Great video - and a change from your long distance travel ones! Gave me a good taster - we'll be doing the trail during the school summer holidays :)
Thank you and glad you liked it. Say hi to Frida from me when you do the trail :)
Lovely owl walk and really good looking owls. I really liked yours, and also the funny pun name 🎉🤩 This reminds me a bit of Elephant Parade I saw in Luxembourg in August 2013. Lots of painted elephant sculptures all around the city. Very beautiful and interesting that too 😊
Thank you. Hopefully I'll do some more in the future :)
Hy very nice... what was the name of the company for the desert night? Thanks!
Thanks. Tbh I really can't remember. I looked on my bookings history on Bookings.com which is where I thought we booked it but it's not there. Perhaps have a look on there anyway and hopefully you'll find it. It only had 2 tents
@@WestGoesEast oh well thanks anyway.... yeah exactly because it only has two tents i was interested in it. :)
@@aetti31 I'll ask Emma and see if she knows and get back to you if she knows
@@aetti31 Found it. Its called Bedouins tents camp
@@philrwesty Hey thank you very much... by now we were there already but the small camps dont operate now anyway since its too hot (they say :) so we went ot a bigger one still operating but it was also an amazing experience... beautiful place. Thanks so much for your info!
Lovely vid, as a heads up they are not mill houses, but Oast houses. Used to dry hops as part of the brewing process.
Great video, any recommendations for Wildlife + Landscape photographer who would like to travel Svalbard on budget? any recommended itinerary would be helpful + local boatman/budget vessel contact details + budget stay details + food options.
Thanks....Your best bet is checking out activities on this link gjestehuset102.no/svalbard-activities/
I did wonder what time of year you were there ??lots of great photography thank you
Thanks! It was September
@@WestGoesEast I will pack warmer clothes for our trip this September thank you
@philippathrossell1931 100% you'll need them
Geeza Metaxoutgeio and Psyrri different Suburbs. Pity you got a minuscule balcony and a building view and not the rock😮😂😂 Line 3 the airport line doesn’t go to Metaxorgeio 😂😂 I’m embarrassed for you not even researching the correct spelling of Flisvos Marina 😮
Just subscribed love your videos. Thanks.
Thanks so much 🙂 appreciated
Being a nearby resident ive asked locals, but they say no its more scary as a lot of living visit there at night doing goodness knows what. Awesome architecture though ❤
snoring ooo my word you need to next time near a skinny person 😂 or a hammock up a tree ,nice if chris and jolyon to save your sleep 😘
They just pitched near me! But yes, It was nice to have a some rest at the chateau :)
@@WestGoesEast i think i should look at my spelling before i send 🥴😂
Great video. Woody is a champ 👍
Thanks! He sure is :)
Thank you! Yes I was very lucky with the weather on this trip
really enjoyed this whole adventure! you must have the power to control the weather! clear blue skis on majority of your journey
Thanks! Yes was very lucky with the weather on this trip
Great video, and makes us want to visit St Malo now! Glad you got to stay at our place for a bit of balance to your camping, with no snorers! Must get you over for a piano recital soon 😂
Thanks and thanks again for letting me stay in your beautiful chateau... It sure was an upgrade from the campsites and was nice to get a night off from the snorers. Yes St Malo is defo worth a visit! Free for Piano recitals anytime :)
India outside going me very taff
Thanks Jack, didnt see any drone regulations but I just tend to do it anyway... Ha. Off to Canterbury and Margate area this weekend. Where should I go?
Loved it mate, are the drone regulations abroad much different to over here or is it less strict?
Thanks Jack. To be honest I don't really know, I just do it anyway! Ha I'm off to Canterbury and Margate area this weekend. Any tips on where to go?
@@WestGoesEast nice one Phil, have a great time. Defo check out Dreamland in Margate if you can - when the weathers nice that place is unreal and Cliftonville is the lesser known part but really great pubs and coffee places there
Thanks! Will check out
Is chris the same guy from your Cotswold walk?
No. Different guy
Did you like amalfi or positano better as I have to choose one
I'd say Amalifi is more classically Italian where as Positano is more Instagrammy. They are both beautiful but Positano is more touristy and perhaps busier but is amazing to look at... Iconic
A great trip! Mont St. Michel is quite similar to St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall, but it seems to be a bit bigger. I have been to the top of that one in Corwall. And how horrible to have these snorers right beside you in the tent .😵💫 The chateau was marvellous. Thank you for this lovely video with the beautiful drone shots 🤩
Yes the French Mont Michel is much bigger. I rode past the cornish one last year. Thanks for watching and hope you are having a good walk in Cornwall
@@WestGoesEast thank you! We are really enjoying our walks in Cornwall. We are currently on the Isles of Scilly and today we will go to the island St. Martin's for a tasting tour at the SC Dogs rum destillery 😄 That is after a walk on the same island 😀.
@@TravellingTorunn ah lovely, I've never been and would really like to go to the scilly isles!
Some services/machines don’t like online only banks, German trains were the same a while back. Always keep a credit card for this kinda things then just pay it off straight away.
Yep, lesson learnt there. School boy error not taking a credit card
I really enjoyed the video and have got to ask, did you get your money back?
Thank you! Sadly not, but then it's not been 8 days yet. Thanks for wathing :)
Wow how did I not know you're such an accomplished pianist!
I'm a natural!
Those snorers are out to get you. I carry some earplugs with a beanie to hold them in place. Beautiful place to visit.
I think they actually are! I had earplugs but clearly not good enough ones. Think I need to invest in some better ones :)
Wow that chateaux.. had amazon prime! 😂 so funny how travel can throw up such random experiences like that. Great video as always!
Was a great experience! Thanks mate
Yes mate, its called All the light you cannot see. I think it was Netflix. Very good series, shot in st malo. Great book too, my wife tells me! Right back to the vid..! Loving the new motorbike sightseeing vlog style!
Ah thanks mate. Yeah wasn't sure if it was bbc or Netflix?
Ahh the snorers. Always the best sleepers too. Need their own separate section of campsites...!:😂
@MatHall I totally agree!
Some stunning scenery, particularly with the drone! Thanks for sharing 😊
It's a beautiful place! Thanks for watching :)
Feel like heaven in Earth
Pretty close!
Tourism is dying by itself. Or rather, with climate change. There is no excuse for contributing to the climate disaster, there is no excuse for destroying the cultural heritage of other countries - however well-intentioned. And by the way, the heat in the Mediterranean countries is already a health hazard.
September
When you was going through the abandoned building No respect you just pulled the paper leave it in place for the next people who go there don’t just pull it like it’s nothing
You're telling me the only thing you thought worthy of commenting on this video is because I moved a paper a few inches. If you watched all the video you would see the guide moving lots of items and it didn't seem to matter to her.
What month was this filmed?
September
@@WestGoesEast I’ll be there this September so your piece gave me a good idea on what to expect. Cheers.
What type of clothing would you recommend to go in March?
Well it won't be freezing and won't be that hot. So perhaps take a coat but not a super thick one
Hiya - thank you for the video - did you end up staying / camping on the way? I'm very interested to understand if camping on the trial is possible.
Thanks for watching. I did camp on the trail yes... I had to go in the woods a bit (I think it's in the other vid) but if you are a bit more brasen there's plenty of spots
thank you for this visual treat
Thanks for watching! 🙂
