    Supposing that VP had only an hour to get to the circle and back to the station, then that was a very respectable time to Duloe. It's a mile and a half to Duloe from the station with a large hill to climb. Walking downhill can be very tiring in itself because of the different use of muscles. Good job, Vicki!

    As soon as I saw this video, I wondered if the climb from Causeland to Duloe had been attempted. Many years ago I and parents visited Looe and one morning we caught train to Causeland. Incidentally the station appears to have been hugely improved on your clip, see the photo on the Wikipedia article for what it used to look like until only a few years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causeland_railway_station
    Anyway, we walked up to Duloe and it was well worth it after a the climb - we went to the advertised pub on the Map we had and the food was brilliant. I forget what we had but I remember it being epic. On the same holiday we went to the "Magnificent Music Machines" site at St Keyne - I was able to play the Wurlitzer Organ which I remember well. Although on that occasion we used the car - I did have a look at the station.

    Everyone should walk like that on country roads with no footpaths, walk on the right hand side (into oncomming traffic) and if there is a corner make sure you are on the outside of it, its safer for the walker because drivers will see you sooner. Thankyou Vicki for the tutorial, i was taught this by someone who walks alot and i taught it to my daughter and she has taught it to her half siblings.
    I spent a week in Looe a few years back its a truly beautifull place and the valley line is a wonderfull ride, when we were in the village shopping one day the lifeboat had a call out as we were stood by the building, it was great to watch them in action.
    But yes, the hills, dear gods the hills !

    0:04 Proof right there that Vicki's from Norfolk. 'On the huh' is one of those beautifully quirky phrases that I've yet to hear anyone but Norfolk people use :) Cos we're a funny bunch like that :D
    And for anyone needing a translation, it roughly means something that's not level or wonky. :)

I recall some friends from Norwich rhyming the phrase - 'I do go to Swaffam for nuffin', which made me laugh, and that wasn't about the price of the fare!

    And there you were at St Keyne, obsessed with wishing wells, and not one comment on the overbridge. The arch is over the original Looe Canal which the railway was built to replace. At that point, the railway is at its closest to the canal.

    Excellent production as always. I mentioned to "Londonist" that the Glasgow underground/subway was worth covering. They came back with a "it's not in London" a pretty poor wriggle out if I ever heard one. It will cost me $6-7,000 to visit myself, pls can you do me a favour and cover it next time you are passing by. Thanks

    • @ianmcclavin
      @ianmcclavin 7 лет назад

      They only use Sprinters on the Cornish branches now. They tried out Pacers in 1987 and it was an unmitigated disaster, because of the tight curves on some of the lines, notably the Liskeard - Coombe Jct. Halt loop on the Looe Branch and the sharp curve on leaving Par on the Newquay line. (Industrial ear-plugs wouldn't have been out of place!!)
