Добавлен 10 июл 2022
Hi, I'm Darren. Welcome to my vlog.
I will be sharing my adventures at home and abroad, my goal is to see and experience as much of the world as possible.
I also have a disability (Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia) so some of what I do here will be facing the challenges this sets me, and hopefully showing how I overcome them.
Along the way I hope to inspire others to go out and see new places, face fears and challenges, try new things, and most importantly live life to the full!
So please join me on my travels and see what we find along the way, I'm sure it will be an adventure.

sometimes, its look like in a parc not a garden!!! I lov the waterfalls
It's a beautiful spot!
Hey good blogg love icon he is my babe in blackpool😅
Thank you 😊 I've never been on Icon, but heard it's a lot of fun. In all of the UK my favourite so far is the Smiler at Alton Towers.
Can we be friends
@@Laura-lc5ng sure, I like to think I'm a friend to all those I meet.
If we went on the gravertron wth all the other utube channel and I felt bit dizzy would u all take care me
@Laura-lc5ng the gravertron? Do you mean the spinning rides you get at travelling theme parks? Cos I love those! Or is there a more specific ride you're thinking of?
Nice content! I enjoyed it with my elementary school daughter. We want to play here. Thank you very much. Have a nice weekend 🙋♂🙆♀
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a nice weekend too.
How did you go to tropic of Capricorn from ANTARINIO
We were at the Isalo Ranch the night before, travelled down RN7 towards Tuléar where we crossed the tropic on the way. Tristan (our guide) took a short detour off the main road so we could see the monument which was pretty cool.
Think it's a Madagascan Fish Eagle that you see in the small enclosure
I'm not so sure, beak seems too short and legs not long enough. Madagascan Fish Eagles also have quite prominent white heads. I'd say it's more likely a species of Buzzard, but couldn't say for certain.
It was an amazing trip I never imagined having very good friends after a trip It was all my pleasure
Such a good time with great company. We didn't expect to make such good friends either.
Those lemurs are gangsters. lol.
I think, day 11 is the best day for you
We finally found the eggs!!!!!

May be one of best birthday of my life ... A simple day with a very good friends 😊😊
Aww that's beautiful. We loved every second of our time with you. We didn't expect to make a new friend on our trip, but so glad that we did.
the best lunch of the travel
It was soooo delicious 😋
Great video! A treat to see some of the lesser-known corners of the Broads that rarely appear on RUclips. Haven't seen the nature trail at Hoveton in 30 years! Nicely put together video too, deserves a lot more views and likes...
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. That really put a smile on my face. I plan on doing some more broads videos in the future, I absolutely love exploring the water ways.
There are three Geckos on that wall. Two you recorded and a third on the side 😊
I just had to zoom in on that section on my phone, and you're right, there is one around the side. How on Earth did you notice that?
@@nextstopstapleton I like to think i'm observant but it was dark for you. You may not have noticed
@@TotalWho91 I certainly didn't notice that one. The other geckos, the hissing cockroaches, the whip scorpion, that spider, but not that gecko.
the Window of Isalo is amazing
It was so beautiful 😍
Crodiles of the world, Linton zoo, shrepeworth zoo and Hamerton zoo are worth it
Linton Zoo and Shepreth were my zoos when I was at uni! I love them, especially Shepreth. I first visited Hamerton a few years ago and went bank multiple times in a year! Crocodiles of the world I've never been to however, but it certainly intrigues me. Obviously I'll make it to all of them at some point. Lincolnshire Wildlife Park I think is my next one, but Hamerton should be soon too.
Which are the best zoos worth visiting for you?
A very hard day 😂😂 for me 😅😅
It was a very hard day! You made it most of the way up though, and praise to you for arranging water for our rescue!
I wait the famous day 4 😂😂😅😅
😆 That was an interesting day to edit, with so little filmed and feeling soooo unwell.
Day 2 is amazing
Thank you 😊
Day 1😀😀
I'm going to be uploading them weekly! I've still got quite a few to edit so I've got my work cut out for me.
That was way too brief! I'm disabled so I'd never get to see this for myself so it's a pity you didn't include more 🙁 Sounds like the charity do a fabulous job though 👍
I originally planned to include a lot more, but I'm afraid I was unable to, one of the first things they say is to not record the guides or give away the content of the tour, which they own the intellectual property of now! This means that when they lose access to the building no one else will be able to do this specific tour, and it sounds like they have plans to try and still use the tour content in some way. It might be worth contacting them, the exit to the tour is all on the street level, so they might be able to accommodate you by entering that way. There's one room up some stairs you wouldn't be able to see, but the rest of the tour is all on one level apart from 1 step, which depending on your disability and any aids you have, might be navigable.
The problem with media is that they take one picture out of context, and write a story about it (unfortunately it happens everywhere, only to make political statements and create hate)... carnival itself isn't racist, discriminatory, ... everybody is welcome (and I think you could see that). And yes, we laughed at Jews, but especially at Jews who have no humor, believe the media without doing research first, and use carnival for their own benefit. The ordinary Jews I know have no problem with it, in fact they like it. Many carnival groups even support oppressed groups by, for example, incorporating it into their theme. There are 3 categories for the permanent groups: small, medium and large groups, each group has its own winner (there is also a winner for the individual groups).
I know exactly what you mean. I entered this carnival uncertain as what to expect, aware of the controversy surrounding it. And certainly saw nothing while there. Making me feel it was important to address the controversy in the context of both what I knew was being said, and what I had personally seen. It was a very eventful and fun experience, I certainly enjoyed my time there.
Top tip use 0:75 playback speed.
what's the song they have used at 3.02 .... can't find it
It's a version of "Carol of the Bells"
@@nextstopstapleton Thanks a lot
Amazing
It's such a magic Christmas event!
i found this brill he a brilliant entertainer love york
It's such a beautiful and historic place with so much to see and do! I have got a video of his full performance on here. I really hope he keeps entertaining people, he's one of the best I've seen.
I went there today
Brilliant! What did you think of it?
I loved this light show, it was really incredible!
It's beautiful every year. Next time we'll have to go to Christmas at Kew!
@@nextstopstapleton lovely!
I grew up going to the Illinois Railway Museum which is largest railway museum in the US, even bigger then our National Railway Museum in Green Bay. While I love the Illinois Railway Museum, everything there is kept in barns and feels so cramped. This seems otherworldly by comparison. Not gonna lie I’m extremely jealous.
Being the largest in the US is very impressive though! I'd love to see that!
@@nextstopstapleton definitely worth checking out if you’re ever in the Chicago area. However somewhat ironically you need a car to get there lol But if you look it up, there’s a lot of great videos of it here on RUclips
@@Mr.E723 😆 that is ironic. I'll be sure to check some out, thanks.
The boat light festival was a go to. Definitely worth a visit again.
I completely agree, no idea why I've not been before. But certainly will go again.
The Broads are such a great place to go on holiday for anyone who likes boats and nature, it was so peaceful! People need to be wary about knowing how to handle a boat though as it can be tricky sometimes, but so much worth it! I'm loving this video, it shows a great snapshot of it :)
I completely agree, and I can't wait to do more holidays on the broads. On the next one I might talk about boat handling a bit as well.
That's a great idea!@@nextstopstapleton
I wanna be there SOOOOOOOOOO badly
It's a great day out, made even better by seeing Flying Scotsman. I can't wait to see what they've done with the other galleries when I next visit.
Built in my home town in 1923. We are so proud of her❤️❤️🚂🚂
That's awesome! She's one of my favourite locos!
I looove this exhibition, this is a good vlog on it!
Thank you. It's a beautiful exhibition.
My local park is Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which i have membership for. I think you would really love it because it has 270 acres so all the animals have really large enclosures. They specialise in endangered species They have Amur Leopards and Amur Tigers, African Lions and Cheetahs. They also have the largest collection of Polar Bears 6 males and 2 females that are kept separately. They have Rolloway Monkeys, Gelada Monkeys, Golden Lion Tamerins, Silvery Marmasets and have bred a lot of them succsessfully. It is well worth a visit. They have many interesting animals.
I visited Yorkshire Wildlife Park last year, it was actually one of my first vlogs. I absolutely loved it! The Polar Bears was a big highlight, but actually for me it was the Giant Otters I was most excited to see. I do plan to do some "Revisited" vlogs where I return to zoos I've already been too, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is one I plan to do, as I think it's going to keep growing a lot over the next few years.
I enjoyed our time in this zoo and Battersea area has a lot more to offer, we can easily spend a full day over there which we did, and it was very nice!
We'll have to go back and explore more of the park.
Just visited ( August 24th)....very pleasurable
where is Beale, never heard of this zoo thanks for showing us. Like the train, and gardens.
It's just outside Reading. I'll admit I hadn't heard of it until recently, I think it's certainly a zoo that deserves to be more well known.
Just visited ( August 24th)....very pleasurable.
@hlambourne3847 I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's a good zoo.
I really enjoyed this visit with you. Sorry for the bad weather. I'd have expected a lot more people there, though. What do you think is the longest camera lens length one needs to get some nice closeups?
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Even with the weather I still really enjoyed the visit. Camera lenses are such a difficult choice, debating the zoom you need, weight you're carrying, and if you need a tripod. I personally use a 300mm lens for my photography camera, I get some good shots with it, but I'm considering getting a 600mm lens as well. My only concern is holding it steady, at that size you start to need a tripod, which is fine in a location when you plan to stay for a while, but if you're regularly moving it more inconvenient. So I'd say if you're concerned about weight, and want to go mainly tripod free, I wouldn't go more than a 300mm, but if you're happy to use a tripod, then a 600mm will be amazing in a zoo. If you're into wildlife photography then 900mm would be amazing, but as much as I'd love one, the cost is a bit much for me atm 😆
hi, Darren. thanks for you fast reply and thoughts on the lens. I much appreciate it! I take it from your zoo expert advice that the lens can't be long enough. (I'm on mft and own the 100-400mm which translates into 800mm ff. It's not that heavy, thank god. So I will bring it and the tripod and hope for few people, too.) I am visiting for the shoebill and the pangolin. I can't wait to see them and all these amazing animals that you walked us to, as well.
@Goldberry2007 fantastic to hear. I hope you have a great trip and get some good photos. Feel free to drop me a message after your trip, I'd love to hear how you got on and see some of the photos you get. I definitely think you can never have a big enough lens, there are certainly pros and cons both ways, but it's always annoying when an animal is just that little bit too far away for a good shot. Shoebills are such incredible birds, but pangolins are just adorable, and so special. A species in such decline, here's hoping they can be saved.
Can you please record the pirate show???
I'll make sure to do so on my next visit. I loved that show as a kid, and with so much to do there we just didn't fit it in sadly. We all said that we need to go back and do all the things we missed 😆
Where can I get the Hulk Buster? Asking for a friend
I suggest buying a LOT of Lego and building it from scratch. I'm happy to lend you a hand 😆
I feel York should give us (Darlington/Shildon Railway Museum) the rocket back.
Why was it moved from there to York? Do you know?
Looks like a nice little zoo!!
It was a great zoo, with some great enclosures and unusual animals. We'll worth a visit.
The blackpool dungeon is the best in terms of theming
I've still not been to the Blackpool Dungeon. I hope to soon though, I'm very intrigued now, they are all so well themed, I wonder what it is that sets Blackpool apart. I'm looking forward to seeing for myself!
@nextstopstapleton it's amazing the level of detail and research that they put in. The sound effects particularly, the audio in dark chapel particularly having Latin prayer!! That is another level of detail
@@nextstopstapleton I think what sets it apart is its easily the best themed. Every set feels immersive. I won't spoil it of course but the sets are huge for what they do in the tower!
@@sampower1735 you've got me really hyped now!!! I can't wait to experience it!
@nextstopstapleton it's amazing. Wish the dungeons had more in the UK. When you see how many tussauds there are, its mental. Did you jump by the way on the boat ride at towers. Was surprised it was so graphic!
Fun fact: there is some concept art online for the dungeons showing the burke and hare show. No graveyard
Now that is very interesting, I'll have to hunt it down and have a look. Thank you.
I love Edinburgh Zoo, I've not been for years, really need to go back. So sad to see the Pandas leave though.
I know! I had to get another visit in before they went.
Lovely city!
Why experiment with the animals? Did I miss something?
It's behavioural research, not experiments. It's so we can better understand animal behaviour and welfare, and therefore be able to give them more appropriate environments in zoos, having more successful breeding programs, better understand the species as a whole, and be better equipped to help and hopefully save their declining wild populations.
I'm really enjoying following you on this series, keep it up!
Thank you. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
They are prisoner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you mean the research animals? I'd appreciate you watching the full vlog if so, as I explain how the research works. It's completely optional for the animals which is amazing. If you mean zoos in general, then zoos are making huge leaps in ensuring natural environments and welfare for the animals in their care, and without zoos the extinction event we are currently living through would be even worse. In many cases the gene pool and breeding programs in zoos are the only thing keeping species from going completely extinct. And zoos contribute huge amounts and sometimes even run sanctuaries for animals to be released in to increase the wild populations. We as a species are doing huge amounts of damage to this planet, and zoos are a big corner stone in reducing that damage and turning things around, through education, conservation work, breeding programs, and release programs.
@@nextstopstapleton Very well said, I couldn't agree more!
