    My Dad and Grandad built those steps down to Eveleaze Beach (which we new as Osmington Beach, (the steps are still standing just..)I lived in Osmington and brought my children up there, where I taught them to swim in the sea. There are both grown up now and in their 50's. I'm in my 70's but sadly no longer live in Beautiful Dorset!

    In the summer or whenever you feel is a good time, would you ever consider going on holiday in the East Riding Yorkshire / Yorkshire Coast?
    We mainly have chalk and flint in the cliffs, but I would love to see what sort of fossles and other interesting things you may come across.
    Recently, there's been an old mineral mine, which was revealed by tidal erosion. I've not personally seen it other than pictures in the local newspaper, but I plan to walk from Flamborough to Filey with my wife soon, so hopefully, we get to spot it.

    Some friends and I walked from Weymouth to Poole over a bitterly cold January weekend, it's a beautiful section of our coastline! We had planned on wild camping but bailed on the idea when we got to Lulworth range and realised we wouldn't make it across before loosing the light. Spend the evening in a lovely inn called The Countryman, in East Knighton.

Because of this video I have smelt gorse flowers for the first time today 😃 Gorse is a declared weed where I live but I don't think everyone is aware so it is in a number of gardens, even though we are very close to native vegetation areas. So I took the opportunity to sniff it on my walk today - would never have expected it to smell like it does!

    Every time I see these videos I think about how happy I would be if I lived near the sea and could walk up and down the beach and pick up litter all day. I would be so content. Leaving it better than I found it every time.

    Seeing this video of you walking along a cliff, makes me wonder how much trouble it would be for you to film a walk along the Cliffs of Dover.
    Perhaps film a visit to Dover Castle as well?
    Keep on being entertaining and educational.

    Such nice beaches you have down there, though the coast lines are very similar to up here in the north west in terms of errosion and land slips.
