Stay WILD!
Oh my goodness! My old stomping ground. Must have done this walk countless times in my youth, and as a younger man. I can't wait to watch this.
The thing I loved the most in the video is your smile:)
I know, she's a lovely lady with the friendliest smile !
You have inspired me to enjoy more of the South West Coastal path
Yet another great walk that we have loved in the past, it is really nice hearing your comments and knowledge as well. Great, thanks Abbie.
what a great walk I have many memories of the area we used to go there on holiday when my children were young . Since those days I lost my youngest son (Luke) at 19 years old in a drowning accident in Thailand his big gap year adventure . He loved the walk from Worth Matravers down past the bat caves to the rocks which now appears to be closed . Your walk took me back to wonderful memories of those days thank you very very much .
Scatland is fantastic!!!!!
I must say your love and appreciation of nature is so inspiring ! Keep up what you do best.
I stayed in Swanage last summer & on my last day, did the coast path to Worth Matravers & back again,...stopping to 'refuel' @ Square & Compass.
Went in 'blind' so the Globe, Dancing Ledge & Winspit quarry were all new discoveries for me along the way. Truly magical.
A Really special walk one have done many a time thanks for a great video
This is a really great walk thank you so much. My ancestors quarried stone at Dancing Ledge and lived at Corfe Castle so this was most interesting for me.
Your video diary brings back happy memories of the far-off days when I was running the University of Bath Walking Club and I dragged twenty-or-so colleagues from the bar of the Greyhound Inn at Corfe Castle via the bar of the Square and Compass Inn at Worth Matravers to the bar of the Ship Inn at Swanage!
Thank you for that , loved it !
love your videos. you have inspired me to be more adventurous now things are opening up again. I was amazed in this video to hear you have had mental health challenges , as your amazing smile belies it ... but having struggled similarly myself I know how important walking in nature and especially by the sea is, to bring balance when the mind is flailing a bit, and to reignite our love of and gratitude for being alive. . Thanks Abbie!!
🌟awesome
Really enjoying your vlogs Abbie - very professional, inspirational, entertaining and informative, you're a great ambassador for the outdoors in the UK and beyond!
Back in the 80's, had a few jars in Durlston Castle. The whole of the Purbecks was a smuggler's haven during Georgian times. The "whim" was also used to lift barrels of brandy and other contraband onshore. A couple of naval battles between smugglers and the Revenue cutters took place off the Purbecks.
Some quality videos from this lass, I love the enthusiasm!
Sorry to hear about your health issues in the past and congratulations on a lovely video.
Hi Abbie, I have done this walk from Bournemouth alone the coast to chapmans pool inland to corfe, then along the purbeck ridge down onto studland ferry across to sandbanks. A two day hike with a wild camp. Thanks for the video brings back good memories. Jon x
Hey Abbie, glad you enjoyed your walk so much. I enjoyed watching,, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching as always!
Abbie, you are an amazing person. Only recently found your channel and you seriously inspire me. A fraction of my age and with so much knowledge and personal experiences which you share with others. It makes me want to get back out and find my fitness again . Thank you
Well done Abbie Barnes, another superb video full of info and wonderfully filmed views, and kudos to you for continuing to raise public awareness of mental health issues, it helps to change public perception and dispel the irrational fear of what should not be a taboo subject in our society.
It certainly should not be. Thanks for the comment Eric!
Thank you for the walk Abbie and your enthusiasm and the smile. Oswald Alexander.
Just found your channel, awesome stuff.
Your films are a great lockdown pick me up, thank you so much for sharing! 😁
Abbie, I have been following you for a awhile now and each time you manage to make me feel a glow inside. Thank you.
Great walk and love your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mark!
I walk in the area regularly as I live nearby, I sometimes get the early boat from Poole quay over to Swanage as its the best way to see Old Harry's Rocks, get a taxi ( time is limited because of the boats ) to drop me off in Worth Matravers, have a pint and a home made pasty in the Square and Compass and then take a leisurely walk down to Winspit and back into Swanage via the bar and terrace at Durlston Castle where the views across to the Isle of Wight are stunning, all hopefully in time for the last boat back. Though should I miss it the view from the open topped double decker bus is a bit special to.
Beautiful created with a lovely wonderful personality ,so good had myself glued right to the end. After watching this think im going to give this a go myself and make a short video ,want to get to the dancing ledge for a swim,all depends on the weather as i have been told it can be very dangerous at times.Its about 1.5hr drive for myself ,not that far away and cant believe all the times i have been down that way was not aware of the dancing ledgeexplore
I only saw Scotland from a height of 10,000 meters, but I have to go there as I look !!!!
There are a lot of reasons why I love your videos. One of them is that they are so informative. Great video. Keep it up.
Thanks Ken :)
Superb Abbie. This island of ours is a truly magical place with a never ending journey of discovery about it and ourselves. Your love, connection to and appreciation of nature, sense of place and enthusiasm for life comes shining through. Hold on to your socks....lol.Thank you for another wonderful adventure. Paul 😊👍
Thanks Paul! Appreciate that!
Great video, thanks for sharing your walk!
Great part of the coast there, many of my favourite climbing haunts along that stretch of the Jurassic coast. So many weekends spent walking and 'hanging around' those cliffs and quarries.
I am glad you had a good time 😁
Sure is an amazing part of the world - so thankful to be able to explore it!
Your films are saving my sanity in this Coronavirus Pandemic. I've cycled much of the Swanage Corfe region a few years ago and so wonder to revisit them with you. Thank you!
Nice vid Abbie. Thanks!
This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Your smile is contagious and the narrative perfect. Thank you, I'll be checking out your other videos and subscribe as well.
Welcome to the tribe! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Abbie for a good start to my week.....
This one was fantastic! I liked when you said sorry matey have a nice time to the caterpillar lol. Thanks this was so great! Have a lovely day!
He was cute :)
One of the best circular walks anywhere! A great film Abbie. There is something for everybody on this magnificent walk. Your expertise and knowledge made the film even more interesting. I've done this trail many times, every time there is something different to see. Thanks do much for taking me along
Thoroughly enjoyed this walk, thank you for being a wonderful host. Take care.
Thanks for joining the journey!
I have walked this part of Dorset many times. Only live in Bournemouth you see. I must say this video was a pleasure to watch and an excellent advert for the area. Well done Abbie!
Hi Abbie another Beautiful walk I too suffer from depression but walking and watching your vids cheers me up I’ve done some walks around there I love Dorset last time down there 2014 had a walk around durlston country park and past anvil point lighthouse then a walk around old Harry rocks but way back in 2000 had a walk from Worth Matravers (parking in same car park as you ) that was a bit of the Priests way down to dancing ledge along the coast around st Aldhems Head and Chapmans pool wow that brought back Happy memories and those steep steps down then up any way atb Abbie I’ll look forward to your next adventure Glenn
Thanks Glenn! Great to be able to share the journey with you. Take care and stay WILD! Abbie
Another inspiring vlog and walk. Must explore that area sometime.
Great video Abbie - so inspiring. Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks
Great video. Beautiful view of Chapman's pool
Hi there Abbie, I did a shorter version of this walk today and it was stunning, thank you for the inspiration to get out there. I made a few wrong turns but it came good
6;15 You are 300m south of my childhood home!
Keep up the great work Abbie. I will carry on watching the rest of your videos. Thanks
Thanks again Abbie. I’m loving your enthusiasm along the way. I’m planning to return to the UK someday and do a lot of walks. You are highlighting so many, I just need more time to explore.
We have incredible areas in Australia, maybe you could come here sometime.
An absolutely lovely video :-) And your good mood and all great information is making it a thrill to watch :-)
Thank you for watching!
Astonishingly, the number of stone circles that exists in the UK. I love the mists and cool weather this time of year. Nice walk and professional video as normal. Keep up the good work!
Sure is! Thanks for watching!
Love that area - paddled that stretch in a sea kayak from Swanage to Weymouth many times with a camps at the fishermans huts at Chapmans and on the beach at Worbarrow Bay . The walk up/down Emmetts Hill is a killer for sure - and a pasty and pint of cider at the Square and Compass is very rewarding.
Wow! That sounds like great fun!
That has certainly gone on my "to do" list . Super film Abbie.
It certainly does!
23:05. Not an old radio mast, but one of four pylons in two pairs. They are exactly one nautical mile apart, and therein lies the clue to their identity. E
When the Royal Navy in the past used to commission a new warship, part of it's trials involved sailing at top speed off this piece of coastland. The time it took to pass between the two pairs of markers would indicate it's top speed in nautical miles per hour (knots).
Haha, you basically walk all the same trails I run!! I guess you get to explore more when you walk. Lovely stuff.
Nice one!!
Nice vid I enjoy that one 👍
Best Regards Dave, Jo and Louie 👍😀🐾
Thanks guys!
Good one Abbie, thanks.
Enjoyed this, Abbie, great movie. Will have to get down that way and have a look around.
Yes, do! Thanks for watching!
Love this area. I have missed it this year with all the restrictions. Hope to return in 2021. Thanks for reviving memories of walking in Dorset :)
Great video Abbie, you have now inspired me to finish the South West Coastal Path, got as far as Dartmouth from Minehead so far.
Brilliant! Keep it up!
Cool shades! Lovely ramble, and excellent video work. Gets me going before I go in to St. John Ambulance to teach.
Wow, cool job! Thank you for training folk in first aid - very important stuff. Got a first aid kit review coming up soon actually. Any key things you'd like me to share with people? (Ive got my outdoor first aid and whilst the video isn't meant to be a 'course' or teaching, I want to use it to get some advice in, even if it is just to do a course!!
Thank you Abbie. Volunteering with St. John is something I took up upon retirement and has been an amazing experience. I have been privileged to help people in car roll overs, burns, broken bones, heart attacks.......you name it.....I’ve pretty much done it. The teaching follows on naturally from those experiences and I believe has helped me teach a more complete course.
Here in Canada we have something called the sports kit which I like.......but it is big for a backpacker! It would include sterile gauzes, triangulars, varieties of plasters, a space blanket, tweezers, medical tape etc.
The single most important thing to take with you though is knowledge. Take a course.
I’m sure I’ve left something important out.........it’s 5:43 am here and I need my coffee. I’m sure your followers can add many items to the kit from personal experience.
This is brilliant! Thank you so much!
Hi Abbie, just completed this walk and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sites you highlighted on your footage. I took a wrong turn coming up from Chapmans Pool and added an extra mile or two to the walk which were unfortunate after those steps!!
Enjoying your channel, keep them coming👍
Stay wild!! Here in Sweden some Doctors prescribe hiking in the forest in case of mental illness. Its not you thats wrong with its society. :-)))))
The walk is even more awesome if you do it anti clockwise ie the other direction. The Square and Compass used to have a goat that got on the bus to Swanage!
Great video as always Thank you
im surprised u didn't go down to the caves at winspit
Great vlog as always, although the camera didn't seem to do justice to that final climb, which is an ascent of about 65m over around 180m. I walked from Worth to Chapmans Pool to St Aldhems head and back to Worth the day after you shot the vlog. Now I know why I couldn't find any ripe blackberries when I needed them on the ascent!
Ha, yeah, sorry about that! They were nice!! Good job on the walk!
I know this walk well, did a similar trail earlier in the year. Great content :)
Brilliant!
8:25. You could have followed the Priests Way all the way into Swanage. The latter parts have been overlaid with roads, but it runs to St Mary's church.
There's a hiking trail in Hongkong called The Twins and you have to climb and descend more than a thousand steps to access it.
Lucky you took the lower walk from the lighthouse. My boyfriend and I didn't know better and took one that was all the way up the hill and it was super difficult😂
Thank you for interesting video. I like the historical information you're sharing with us during your walks. And you're like Saint Francis talking to all animals on the way. :) Question: does walking in England always mean busy trail? Are there trails where you can meet nobody?
Atb, Seb
Ha, brilliant! No, not at all actually. It depends on where you are, what time of day/season you are walking, how far you walk etc. Usually you can fine a solitary wild space easily enough :)
I've never hears the Square & Compass described as notorious before, " famous ", yes. Please don't apply words with negative connotations to this excellent pub !
Lovely Abs, I don't what's brighter, the sun or your smile.
Aw man, that's real kind of you to say, thank you!
✊👌👍ok.
This looks fantastic, we are training for the Jurassic Coast Active Challenge. Can you tell me how many miles this route is if possible and how long it takes?
So how many steps down/up? I reckoned around 200 in each direction, but my head was spinning so lost count a couple of times 🤣👍
" I'm notorious for getting lost in urban areas" . You and me, both. What's that all about?!? Can navigate Dartmoor, Snowdonia, Lake District etc in fog or night but finding my way from the train station to the start of the trail - er, help needed pls.
Hello Abbie, would you be willing to share how you got the car footage at the start ? How was it supported and what camera ? David
Tree henge
you sound like you are underwater for most of this walk..
