i wasn’t going to dare to look at this video for fear of spending the rest of this morning still on the pan & boring everyone with every single detail regarding my life in Sway & all of the other stuff about the place & it’s old people i knew - who were all old because during my life in Sway between 1968 & 1975 i was aged 4 to 11 . Mum & brother & i left Tebourba Cottages for a scruffy & slightly hostile village 3 miles away which now has the opposite problem as far as I’m concerned - get an expensive driveway & plenty of shiny grey cladding or feel less than human ! It’s sad to see the old shop crumbling but hey aren’t we all . Thanks for this Dave - I’ll watch & listen once I’m out of this little room. 🙄👍🏴🐢🍒👽❤️
Hi Dave. Will be visiting the New Forest this coming week and staying in Sway. I am hopeful that my husband and I will be able to do this walk. We used to walk a lot and have seen much of the NF on foot, covering 10-12 miles each time. Unfortunately, time is catching up with us now, my husband is 82, so the walks need to be shorter and easier now. So hopefully the weather will be kind to us. Looking forward to giving this one a go.
Sway is a lovely part of the New Forest Karen. You might want to check out the walk at Shirley Holms which is just by Sway. ruclips.net/video/_4y390qB6Vg/видео.html
I was born and raised in nearby Tiptoe, the forest was my play ground. You kept referring to longslade bottom as longsdale. My late father had commoners rights and had ponies on the forest, he was well known.
What a lovely area for you to have grown up in. Yes, I noticed the mistake with "Longslade" - alas when you are concentrating so hard with filming the mouth and the brain sometimes don't work in line! After editing, I did point out the mistake (and apologise) in the description notes to the video and indeed I put up a photo of the car park sign (at about 10 mins) which confirmed the correct spelling. Thanks for watching.
Another wonderful walk Dave & Logan! Really appreciate that you always give a bit of history on the places you visit. Makes it that much more interesting & special to the watcher. I was a little surprised & amused of St Lukes being 1839 - Victorian times - built it in the style of the Norman churches. Some very nice houses & cottages in Sway.
PS there used to be a footpath from the railway station ( there were 2 very old disused railway carriages parked on the south side probably opp where the industrial units are now) but never got inside ) to Mead End Rd which obviously had to cross the Avon Water or river as we called it. The bridge was known as Broken Bridge & would probably land HCC or the Parish Council in very hot water nowadays but i remember it had lots of holes ! Should anyone whom was at Sway school from Sep 69 to May 75 wish to relive memories of creepy Rev Ware with his squeaking hearing aid or ex WW2 Pilot ( so he said ) Mr Harris (“Haggis”) -the tiny bald & bearded Welshman & 10 to 11 yr olds’ brilliant teacher - whom often got his Triumph Toledo onto 2 wheels when racing around the Jubilee Oak into Church Lane most mornings, go ahead on here if Dave doesn’t mind … 😃👍
Thank you Ann. Logan has had that coat for a while now - it is his "waterproof" one that is also fairly warm. For really cold days he has a thicker one. Looking forward to the Spring when he doesn't have to wear one!
I have to drive through this at night and its scary, but I just think it must be really beautiful during the day, people who live there drive around as if there are lamps on the roads but there isnt!
Nice interior of the church, but the chairs didn’t look very comfy. Certainly not for a long sermon. I always love old railway trackbeds. Easy to walk and mostly level ground
Hi Lisa. This was one of my early videos when i just put an aerial map up on screed (at 38 secs). If you PM to the "Dave's Countryside Walks" Facebook page, I can send you the OS map version.
@@DaveFord really love the style of your vlogs I've always had a soft spot for the new forest as it's the place I used to camp in the actual forest as a child ( a while back ! )

I'd say you're in better shape now than you were back then, Dave. Good job!
I would agree with you there! Thanks for watching.

Another great walk, with lots of historical info, and of course the lovely Logan in his smart winter jacket. 😊
Thanks Ann. Yes - Whippets do like their comforts!
Lovely 17 minutes of peaceful contemplation on the beauty of the New Forest!
Thank you Ian. Glad you enjoyed it.:)
Love your walks Dave so relaxing- live and walk in New Forest but enjoy your info ! Pam.
Thanks for your kind comments, Pam.

Thank you. Sway is full of lovely properties that are full of character. Great place for a walk.
I lived in Sway the first 3 years of my life back in 1963 before my parents moved to Somerset..still visit an auntie there
A lovely place to live in, I imagine.
Amazing Chanel I live in Sway such nice seenerey
Thank you. Sway is certainly a pretty place.
Dave Ford I love your dog it’s so cute

Always a joy to watch, loved seeing the horses. Did Logan get his coat for Christmas.

Yes, you certainly have to be careful when driving through the Forest at night, that is for sure.
Nice interior of the church, but the chairs didn’t look very comfy. Certainly not for a long sermon. I always love old railway trackbeds. Easy to walk and mostly level ground
I recently did a walk that went along the entire stretch of that disused track (from Brockenhurst to Ringwood) - it will be coming out in May.
Do you have a map picture of this walk please
