Oh such beautiful scenery! The greenery! The sunny day! The forest and the Birds singing! The cascading water! The swallows playing the sheep happily grazing.....the tricking sound of the river and your finds! Absolutely thoughally enjoyed this video! Thank you so much 🙂💛
I was gonna say the same! It is super neat and enjoyable to watch. Hiking is something I love and miss (disabled), so this really helps fill my wanderlust . Thank you Tom, for this!
No skipping for me, love watching the walks through the beautiful countryside...so relaxing. Your stories, knowledge and finds are so very engaging. Thank you. 😌
A truly unique part of the world with the trees and valley. It must be quite nostalgic to walk in your childhood footsteps. You picked up some attractive bottles. A frog with a cork in its bottom could be quite a conversation piece. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it was quite nostalgic, I'm not usually one to embrace nostalgia which is why I put off going back to that site for a year+ of filming elsewhere. I think it's more likely I'll put a lightbulb in the frog's bottom than a cork now. 🙂Glad you enjoyed this.
Your comment about life's diverging reminds me of the poem by Robert Frost...Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one less traveled and that has made all the difference.
I love your videos, they're a little magical journey, complete with history and tiny bits of treasure. I often watch while i'm in my arting space working on a project.
Aw, thank you. I hope you don't mind when I start filming some of my own art/craft videos. I don't know if perhaps I should spin them off onto another channel, but at least when I'm getting the hang of them, I'll put them here. 🙂
Tom you would so enjoy the Appalachia Trail. I live about 40 minutes from it ,I’m in Spartanburg South Carolina. I really hope you get to for fill you dreams.
Thank you... this channel was part of the plan to get me there; I think I can safely show long walking videos here and not put off too much of my audience, and slowly the audience is growing to the point that it might start paying for some of the dreams. 🙂
Such beauty! A trip one day with you identifying the wild flowers etc would be very injoyable. The scene with the moss covered boots would make for an awesome painting. I always enjoy spending time and taking an adventurous journey with you Tom!😀
I'm only really a beginner at identifying wild flowers; so much more to learn before I could be a good identification companion. I'm not much of a painter, but if you fancy trying (or know someone who would), I'd be happy for you to take a still of the boots to work from. 🙂
Wow Tom, that was a wonderfully meandering trail. You spoil us rotten, thank you. 🥰. I can’t get out and about at the moment, but you bring all of nature’s beauty to me. 🍀🌷🌿💦🍂🌷🌳🦆🦋I just love it and could NEVER rush ahead. Oh no way! Thanks so much for all you do so we can enjoy all these natural treasures. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻
These are walks I dreamed of as an adult (as I did as a child). Now I am physically unable so thank you for a glimpse of the stunning beauty of this place. Loved all of it.
I grew up close by to where you do a lot of your filming but live down south now. Your videos never fail to make me nostalgic and more than a little homesick. Such a beautiful part of the world that I definitely took for granted when I was younger. Though I can't say I miss driving down that steep twisting hill that takes you from the top of the valley into the basin! Keep up the good work.
Yeah, driving down some of the hills is a nightmare when you meet a bus or a tractor coming up... especially the one known as Mytholm steeps. I've lived down south too, but came back to Yorkshire because it's cheaper, and because a relative needed looking after... I took the beauty here for granted too till I lived elsewhere, and it took trying to film it to make it really shine for me. I'm sorry you're my videos make you feel homesick... glad if the enjoyment you get out of them dwarfs the homesickness.
@@tom_burleigh the Mytholm Steeps is the hill I'm thinking about. My brother and I used to close our eyes when my dad drove us down that way as children. Maybe homesick wasn't the right word. I love the videos and thank you for sharing them. I always make sure to make a trip to HB whenever I visit my family. The next time hopefully won't be too far in the distant future. I do hope your relative's health improved.
Watching from the USA...I get such a wonderful feeling even thinking of my childhood..but nothing compared to the beauty of where you are..Love your videos Mr. Burleigh..the sound of your voice and your way of speaking/descriptions puts me in a peaceful place....
The walking is wonderful....it's peaceful and great to paint by. So much enjoy your trips, what you find, and your narration. Such a beautiful place to spend the day in. Thank you Tom : )
I thought it might be Avon, they do seem to have a lot of fun making bottles. Couldn't find a match though, so wasn't certain, glad you can confirm. Thank you. 🙂
From someone that has travelled all over the world, on foot and by vehicle and boat... and the same opinion is shared by most people I know who have travelled widely.... you end up going a long way to discover that you really really like where you came from originally. ... and you come from a particularly nice place in one of the nicest and safest countries on Earth. (I’m from the other end of that Country, the South Coast of the UK... and it took a good 20 years of travelling to realise I was ALWAYS really glad to get home, no matter where I went and how amazing it was to visit!)
Glass rods are used in small shops where a person is sitting with a bunsen burner and colorful or clear glass rods and they make little animals and one young man made me a wonderful unicorn out of a clear glass rod and a rooster out of a few colorful rods and I still have them today after 40 years. They are about two inches tall. An artistic glass blower that will make what you want for a small price.. I really thought by now that someone would have told you. The rods are expensive so they use the glass by heating it and stretching and curving and carving with a tool and then when done they cut it off the rod with a pair of scissors just as amazing to watch as the skill of the art work in progress to watch. Love the long walk, it put me in a mellow mood. Susann
Beautiful area and what a great place to look around. We have nothing as beautiful to traipse around and look for treasures. Bottles cobalt blue jars and rods. Pieces of plates etc. all worth while to the right person.
Thanks Sherry. I'm certainly very lucky to live here, and growing to appreciate it more and more as people tell me how lovely it is. Glad you enjoyed watching along. 🙂
What a beautiful view! No skipping here, love the sound of shoes on rough ground. I can't believe someone is mapping your videos and following your tracks!
Best one yet. I have vivid memories of my mum giving me Fennings Fever Cure when I was small ( I,m 69). I would have swigged the bottle if I could, I loved it, quite a sharp acidy flavour,
Sounds like I'd like the taste of Fennings Fever curer too. 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you didn't mind me putting your name into my list of people I'm especially thankful to.
What a gift to go upon another outing with you! The boots somehow were like a story book illustration- sent my imagination wild! I am so pleased about your forge and can’t wait for your creations! You deserve to have a new camera. You work so hard and give these amazing gifts to us all over the world. And a round up! Wow I didn’t know I had been missing them!
Since I currently have a broken leg, I enjoyed your very scenic walk. What a lovely place to grow up in! So much history. I wish I had a 'go back' machine. :) As far as I know from watching glass art makers, they use the glass rods for all glass work. Remember the one you found a couple of videos ago that had the fan shape at the end? Could that have come from crimping the piece off with a tool after heating? I personally have used small rods for bead making. I would love to learn how to make custom marbles. I love when you find a marble.
I first watched your videos for the mudlarking but I think your walks to the sites have become my favorite part. That was some exquisite scenery; you are a lucky man to live in such a beautiful place. Thank you for the vicarious adventure. Stay safe 🥰
Afraid not all my adventures will have much of a walk to them; some must be driven to... but I do like to include walks and scenery, and I have at least 2 walk videos awaiting editing. I am indeed very lucky to live here. Thank you, and I hope you're keeping safe too. 🙂
Not a clue on your mystery brass medallion, but I agree with you that it looks important enough to have an experts opinion. And wow, those cobalt rods. I’ve seen many with smaller diameters, never that thick. What could they have been used for? Very interesting. And I can see that your glass frog will be highly coveted. Unusual that it survived as intact as it is. That is a treasure! Tom, the scenery was simply wonderful. Yes you are very fortunate to have such such beautiful stomping grounds. Even if you had found absolutely nothing the video would be lovely all the same. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Lynn. My enduring memory from my childhood days spent there is finding a cat shaped bottle... I think that dump is kind to glass, it doesn't have the silicate leaching that happens at the big bottle dump, and everything seems to be either in good condition, or broken. The glass rods remain a mystery, could be stirring sticks, raw materials for bottles or marbles... or... I don't know. Never been able to find pictures or film of similar. I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
The cadence and dulcet tone of your voice is nice to hear amongst such beautiful scenary. I enjoyed the video. Thank-you for spending the time and sharing it with us all.
I just love those stone walls they make the countryside look so neat,. I am sorry that I don't comment after every video because I love them all so relaxing, but what I am doing is binge watching so to me sometimes it's all one 4 hour video
Hi Tom...thanks so much for taking me on the walk to your childhood haunts. And here I thought I was cool going on my childhood explorations in the “ woods” !! My Eastern Woodlands of New England don’t hold a candle....just magical. Now to the horse......please don’t scrap.....I’d dry, clean, stabilize metal, mount on a base......it is beautiful...and odd as can be. Keep us up on the rods...they are a mystery.
Your most fun video since lockdown started, Tom. I so enjoyed your ramble through lovely woods, finding treasures and thoughtful commentary. As usual, your voice along with sounds of nature compliment the visuals wonderfully. Again, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
I enjoy your videos so much. Your voice is so soothing. I am home bound and love the outdoors. I feel like I am walking beside you in the woods when I watch your videos. Thank you.
Thanks again Tom. I equally enjoy the walk, the scenery and the finding. Your filmography is impressive and improving always and of course your narration is presented thoughtfully and genuinely. This brings me peace. I’m grateful for the generosity of your supporters. Wish I could be financially supportive. Love the frog and happy for his new home whichever it will be. Take care. Stay safe and well 💚I imagine playing with you in that incredible place as a kid. Would be a place where the imagination grows.
I especially like the mossy boots. The whole caravan site reminds me of fish camp back in Alaska. Someone had made a planter of a pair of 1980s hi-top sneakers that sat next to our cabin. So quirky in the most loving way!
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous of your glass rods!!!! Love the blue colour too. Lots of other great finds, but the rods win hands down :) I did wonder if they were all parts of one glass walking stick that got broken and thrown away. Beautiful scenery too! ;
Reliving our past is often an enjoyable experience, I enjoyed your childhood dump as well as the lovely walk to it. I think you made some wonderful finds, I admit to being very curious about the cobalt glass rods. I am also very happy to see a round up as I have missed them even while understanding the lack of them. Thanks for another relaxing and enjoyable adventure, I am looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Debbie. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I hope to be able to do round-ups from now on, though this one was a challenge (getting up early enough to film with no-one around) 🙂
Tom good to see you back! We missed you :-) I love your peaceful walks and love the accompanying music too which I have just discovered is your own creation. Very nice!
Hi Tom-I think you and Nicola white do the best nature filming of the mudlarkers. I really love your theme music. It's a really beautiful and simple melody, it just sounds so good!
The walk in the woods along the old path was wonderful. I enjoyed very much hearing the birds singing and the lush greenery! I think the frog bottle was my favorite item from this video.
busy day for you.....did not find much, but getting out sometimes is worth the trip...nice bridge and water way ..............ty for another visit.....tc...be safe...Joseph
Thanks again Tom for another video. They all bring me joy and I appreciate being able to go on adventures with you. If you ever do decide to do the pacific crest, let me know. The family loves to camp and we’d be happy to serve as a resupply station!
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. 🙂 I gave the option for the many who skipped my Walk only videos, in case they were only there for the hunting for trash treasures.
Thanks so much, I've lost a few subscribers along the way, gained more than I ever thought I would... I'm glad there are some like you who've been here all along. 🙂
Beautiful area! I'm from the northeastern US. I've lived up and down the east coast. The Appalachian trail has always been a dream of mine as well. I've hiked several stretches of it but could never take all the time off to do it all at once. Most I've done, at one time, is from Mt. Katahdin in Maine to Killington Vermont. Took my dog and I a little over a month. Maine is treacherous! If you go be prepared to be wet most of the time. Only part I havent been yet is the middle and I can't wait. Been addicted to your videos recently. It's always nice to see a change of scenery.
Such wonderful views! Such a relaxing stroll through the magnificent countryside. I love that you included your steps on that striated precipice then rewarded us with the view of the valley. Ahhhh! As usual your artistic eye draws the lens to focus on the exquisite beauty and your penchant for descriptive narration delights my imagination! Thanks for including the rugged paths. I have walked some small portions of the PCT, the ACT and the CDT, but I have never overnighted which is on my bucket list. Walking the trail you described is now added to my list! You captured so many fun sites that need more exploration and contemplation!!! Just lovely! I can imaging you as a boy clamoring up and down the steep rocky areas, scuffing holes in your jeans. I love the outdoor roundup. What a beautiful day for it! Your curated finds were wonderful and I so appreciate your positive spirit of leaving finds for others and encouraging the community of larkers! Thanks again for a wonderful video, and I so look forward to your metal work! The horse can always be sacrificed for something more suitable and its spirit will probably be grateful for the upgrade!!!🐎🐸
Thanks Nancy. I hope you didn't mind me including your name in my list of who I'm especially thankful to. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many long distance walkers there are commenting, it's inspiring. I hope you can get to overnight, and even walk the relatively gentle Pennine Way over here one day... I hope to try it next year if circumstances allow. I'm glad to have you watching my videos, and very glad that you enjoy them. 🙂Metal work will happen one day; just the current uncertainty getting in the way really.
Very enjoyable video Tom thank you . The bit of a horse was part of a Marly horse , they were often made of spelter or cast iron , known as poor man's bronzes, they came in pairs and often adorned many Victorian homes , I have one on my window ledge and always look for ihis pair at antiques fairs , but I always see them in pairs or the one I already have , one day I will be lucky , hopefully I will get go go to a fair this year all being well . I realy love thoes glass rods , you find so many different colours they must have a use , I wonder what they are for !
Thanks so much for the idendification on the horse! Very interesting history, and I think this was probably Spelter instead of the cast aluminium I thought it was... it did look like aluminium, but is corroded like zink. I'm glad you enjoyed this video, and I hope you find the pair to your horse someday. 🙂
Hello Tom! I just wanted to say Hello from America! I am so glad I found your channel. You have such knowledge about so many different topics. I so enjoy your adventures and just love all of them!!!! Blessings and Corona free virtual hugs!
Hello from the US. Your voice is so soothing. Your thoughts like stories. The countryside is beautiful. The old bridges and walls are wonderful. I have to say I am hooked. I love larking with you!
Excellent presentation as always on this channel. Visuals and commentaries set the scene for a most enjoyable experience. Many thanks Rob from Adelaide
I loved revisiting your old haunts! I am convinced the thick blue rods with the grooves on them were bottle blanks, marked at the appropriate breaking point for the glass blower. Of course, I have no evidence for that. :'D
What a wonderful walk through the glorious countryside - as fascinating as it is soothing, the perfect antidote to the lingering anxieties of recent times. Thank you so much for taking us along with you.
Thanks Yvonne, I'm glad you can get a little escapism in my videos... and happy to be able to make them for people stressed by the current situations. 🙂
Your meanderings, your musings, are always a welcome part of my day. I noticed you find golf balls in other videos, that are in strange places. A fisherman I follow out of Guernsey found a Golf ball in a Lobster trap that was almost 100 feet down!! Go figure! I have found them in mountain streams! Someone needs to tag a couple and check their migratory habits! That half a metal orb with a spout in it, could that be half of a bulet? I spelled it incorrectly, it was meant to do eggs and foix gras in the manner Queen Victoria liked. It involved eggs, aspic and goose liver. It looks like the top half.
I'd certainly be interested if someone could track their habbits; they don't seem to have good camoflage, and their nest building is rudimentary at best... I have seen some flying, but they're ungainly and don't seem able to fly great distances. Maybe they don't so much migrate, as meander... I too find them in the strangest of places. I found a really old one yesterday; perhaps even a native variety. 🙂
Glad you got donations for your equipment... But unfortunately I didn't send... As I donate at the moment to cancer research as my dad is not well atm.. But your walk thru the Yorkshire countryside let's me escape for a while.. ty Tom... Sue from The Wirral UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Sue, I try not to expect anything in the way of donations and I hope it doesn't come across as if I'm pressuring people into giving anything to me. I think Cancer research is a very worthy cause; I donate there too when I can afford to, amonst other charities. I hope your dad gets better, and I'm glad that my videos can give you a bit of an escape. Warm regards, Tom.
Tom, the walk through the forest was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! I would love to walk through there and maybe sit and admire the forest. Phil and Caroline would love that place, maybe in the future you all could co together. Your finders were great and the glass rods are stunning to which would make a beautiful wind chime. It’s great to see you out and about again taking us on another adventure! You mentioned doing a video of walking/hiking and that would be great to see! The area of this video was beautiful and looking down into the valley was breath taking to say the least, Take care, stay safe! Much love and tight hugs from East Tennessee ❤️❤️
I hope that's a possibility; I can't find any record of glass works in the area though. Some local breweries that might have made their own bottles, but nothing definite. Someone's suggested they might have been raw materials for making marbles... though again, can't find any record of it in the area. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh The graduations on the rod feel like they are marks to denote the amount of glass for a ??bottle??. I would be curious to know if the approximate weight of one chunk of glass matches a vintage beer bottle or similar. Just a thought.
Nice finds! Particularly love the blue glass rods! Beautiful views! xx
I love how his voice is so calm and relaxing to listen to. His voice never seems to convey any strong emotions.
A cup of tea + a walk with Tom = bliss
Oh such beautiful scenery! The greenery! The sunny day! The forest and the Birds singing! The cascading water! The swallows playing the sheep happily grazing.....the tricking sound of the river and your finds! Absolutely thoughally enjoyed this video! Thank you so much 🙂💛
Thank you, I'm glad you got so much enjoyment from it. 🙂

@@jennifersteffen7951 I am also disabled. Tom takes me back to when I was alive ;-)
Hi Tom, I never skip ahead because i like hearing your thoughts as you walk another good video xx
Thank you, that's very kind of you 🙂
Me too. I can't get out at the moment and enjoy your country walks xx
Am I the only one who skipped?
@@Ariella-mx3xq4cw6n Probably not, it's perfectly fine to... and I put the option in so people could take it if they wished. 🙂
Because of arthritis, I cannot walk like I used to. Loved your walks in the woods. I can almost imagine being there.
No skipping for me, love watching the walks through the beautiful countryside...so relaxing. Your stories, knowledge and finds are so very engaging. Thank you. 😌
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope most people don't skip, but many skipped my walk only videos. 🙂
Tom Burleigh I think you have the perfect combination but unfortunately you can’t please everyone all the time. 🙂
Hi Tom as always I love your video. Beautiful bottle s th n what a wonderful walk thank u Tom take care 👍

I love that poem, I'm hoping to do a reading of it for a video one day. 🙂

Thank you for watching, and commenting. I'm glad you both enjoy my videos, and voice. 🙂
I call him the “David Attenborough of Mudlarking” 😀

nice finds, fabulous footpaths but the forlorn (forworn) mossy boots made my day.

I don't skip. I want every minute. Thanks. The cobalt rods are gorgeous. Your childhood digging spot and the path to get there is beautiful.
beautiful video. like taking a stroll through a cezanne or monet
Thank you, I love both those artists, and I hadn't thought of my videos in those terms. I do live amongst a lot of beauty. 🙂
i hadn't thought of that however i wholeheartedly agree!!!

Yes, it's been my best discovery; how beautiful the countryside in the UK is, even in the lesser known, hardly visited places. 🙂

Saw the horse in halves and mount it in relief into a work of art.

I think that dump is kind to glass, it doesn't have the silicate leaching that happens at the big bottle dump, and everything seems to be either in good condition, or broken. The glass rods remain a mystery, could be stirring sticks, raw materials for bottles or marbles... or... I don't know. Never been able to find pictures or film of similar. I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
Great content as usual Tom 👍🏻 thankyou 😁😁
Thanks Gavin, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Skip??? Why would anyone skip the beautiful scenery and your fantastic commentary!!! Love these videos.
Well adorable walk and landscapes!, thank you for taking us with you. Always a pleasure to experiment your videos! 💛
Thank you; it was a lovely day and a lovely walk, so I'm glad you think it was a sucessful video. 🙂
Stunning footage today and brilliant editing too. Thanks as always for taking us along!
The cadence and dulcet tone of your voice is nice to hear amongst such beautiful scenary. I enjoyed the video. Thank-you for spending the time and sharing it with us all.
Tom, this video is just stunning. Thank you, what scenery! Your finds were really interesting too.
I just love those stone walls they make the countryside look so neat,. I am sorry that I don't comment after every video because I love them all so relaxing, but what I am doing is binge watching so to me sometimes it's all one 4 hour video
Hi Tom...thanks so much for taking me on the walk to your childhood haunts. And here I thought I was cool going on my childhood explorations in the “ woods” !! My Eastern Woodlands of New England don’t hold a candle....just magical. Now to the horse......please don’t scrap.....I’d dry, clean, stabilize metal, mount on a base......it is beautiful...and odd as can be. Keep us up on the rods...they are a mystery.
Your most fun video since lockdown started, Tom. I so enjoyed your ramble through lovely woods, finding treasures and thoughtful commentary. As usual, your voice along with sounds of nature compliment the visuals wonderfully. Again, thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
I enjoy your videos so much. Your voice is so soothing. I am home bound and love the outdoors. I feel like I am walking beside you in the woods when I watch your videos. Thank you.
Thanks again Tom. I equally enjoy the walk, the scenery and the finding. Your filmography is impressive and improving always and of course your narration is presented thoughtfully and genuinely. This brings me peace. I’m grateful for the generosity of your supporters. Wish I could be financially supportive. Love the frog and happy for his new home whichever it will be. Take care. Stay safe and well 💚I imagine playing with you in that incredible place as a kid. Would be a place where the imagination grows.
Lovethe walks and hearing the crunch of you walking along the paths
I especially like the mossy boots. The whole caravan site reminds me of fish camp back in Alaska. Someone had made a planter of a pair of 1980s hi-top sneakers that sat next to our cabin. So quirky in the most loving way!
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous of your glass rods!!!! Love the blue colour too. Lots of other great finds, but the rods win hands down :) I did wonder if they were all parts of one glass walking stick that got broken and thrown away. Beautiful scenery too!
;
Reliving our past is often an enjoyable experience, I enjoyed your childhood dump as well as the lovely walk to it. I think you made some wonderful finds, I admit to being very curious about the cobalt glass rods. I am also very happy to see a round up as I have missed them even while understanding the lack of them. Thanks for another relaxing and enjoyable adventure, I am looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Debbie. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I hope to be able to do round-ups from now on, though this one was a challenge (getting up early enough to film with no-one around) 🙂
they remind me of conductor or non-conductor rods
Tom good to see you back! We missed you :-) I love your peaceful walks and love the accompanying music too which I have just discovered is your own creation. Very nice!
Thanks for your video...such beautiful countryside. Glad to see you well.
Thanks Mary, I'm glad you like it. I feel very lucky to live here. Hope you're keeping safe and well too. 🙂
Hi Tom-I think you and Nicola white do the best nature filming of the mudlarkers. I really love your theme music. It's a really beautiful and simple melody, it just sounds so good!
The walk in the woods along the old path was wonderful. I enjoyed very much hearing the birds singing and the lush greenery!
I think the frog bottle was my favorite item from this video.
Thank you for taking us along on this stroll. It is a beautiful walk.
Lovely, lovely, lovely! I thank you!
Aw, thank you. You're very welcome. 🙂
Delightful Tom! Thank you so much for taking us with you, looking forward to more adventures...✌🏼
busy day for you.....did not find much, but getting out sometimes is worth the trip...nice bridge and water way ..............ty for another visit.....tc...be safe...Joseph
Wow! Such beautiful scenery! I would so love to live somewhere like that, what a dream 😊
Thanks again Tom for another video. They all bring me joy and I appreciate being able to go on adventures with you. If you ever do decide to do the pacific crest, let me know. The family loves to camp and we’d be happy to serve as a resupply station!
I wouldn't want to skip ahead on the video , the landscape, the view & your voice is so relaxing ☺
Thank you, I'm glad you think so. 🙂 I gave the option for the many who skipped my Walk only videos, in case they were only there for the hunting for trash treasures.
The countryside is so beautiful! I enjoyed the walk, thank you for sharing👍
Thank you, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
BEAUTIFUL scenery Tom,I do envy your beautiful country...Looks very peaceful in this day in age....
Film as long as you like.i love your videos. I want to tell you I'm advid fan was here from beginning.
Thanks so much, I've lost a few subscribers along the way, gained more than I ever thought I would... I'm glad there are some like you who've been here all along. 🙂
Es estupendo el paseo y la búsqueda,gracias
Beautiful area! I'm from the northeastern US. I've lived up and down the east coast. The Appalachian trail has always been a dream of mine as well. I've hiked several stretches of it but could never take all the time off to do it all at once. Most I've done, at one time, is from Mt. Katahdin in Maine to Killington Vermont. Took my dog and I a little over a month. Maine is treacherous! If you go be prepared to be wet most of the time. Only part I havent been yet is the middle and I can't wait. Been addicted to your videos recently. It's always nice to see a change of scenery.
Thank you; I'm learning a lot of what I might have to prepare for from comments like this one. The more I learn, the more I desire to experience 🙂
Such wonderful views! Such a relaxing stroll through the magnificent countryside. I love that you included your steps on that striated precipice then rewarded us with the view of the valley. Ahhhh! As usual your artistic eye draws the lens to focus on the exquisite beauty and your penchant for descriptive narration delights my imagination! Thanks for including the rugged paths. I have walked some small portions of the PCT, the ACT and the CDT, but I have never overnighted which is on my bucket list. Walking the trail you described is now added to my list! You captured so many fun sites that need more exploration and contemplation!!! Just lovely! I can imaging you as a boy clamoring up and down the steep rocky areas, scuffing holes in your jeans. I love the outdoor roundup. What a beautiful day for it! Your curated finds were wonderful and I so appreciate your positive spirit of leaving finds for others and encouraging the community of larkers! Thanks again for a wonderful video, and I so look forward to your metal work! The horse can always be sacrificed for something more suitable and its spirit will probably be grateful for the upgrade!!!🐎🐸
Thanks Nancy. I hope you didn't mind me including your name in my list of who I'm especially thankful to. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many long distance walkers there are commenting, it's inspiring. I hope you can get to overnight, and even walk the relatively gentle Pennine Way over here one day... I hope to try it next year if circumstances allow. I'm glad to have you watching my videos, and very glad that you enjoy them. 🙂Metal work will happen one day; just the current uncertainty getting in the way really.
I love your walks down such beautiful trails. Your country has such beauty. I love the rock walls and old buildings. They are so interesting.
Very enjoyable video Tom thank you . The bit of a horse was part of a Marly horse , they were often made of spelter or cast iron , known as poor man's bronzes, they came in pairs and often adorned many Victorian homes , I have one on my window ledge and always look for ihis pair at antiques fairs , but I always see them in pairs or the one I already have , one day I will be lucky , hopefully I will get go go to a fair this year all being well . I realy love thoes glass rods , you find so many different colours they must have a use , I wonder what they are for !
Thanks so much for the idendification on the horse! Very interesting history, and I think this was probably Spelter instead of the cast aluminium I thought it was... it did look like aluminium, but is corroded like zink. I'm glad you enjoyed this video, and I hope you find the pair to your horse someday. 🙂
Enjoyed just as much again.
Hello Tom! I just wanted to say Hello from America! I am so glad I found your channel. You have such knowledge about so many different topics. I so enjoy your adventures and just love all of them!!!! Blessings and Corona free virtual hugs!
I always love your videos, thanks for sharing your walk and finds with us.
You just get better and better. Lovely photographer xx
Thank you 🙂 I hope you don't mind when I have an occasional missfire; I do always hope to improve, though some videos turn out worse than I aim for.
21:28 - I love the narration/description in omniscient third person, lol. Ohhh, I understand about the marmalade pots and the post office.
God bless, Tom, thanks for ALL THE GREEN!!! We have a few green plants in AZ...they're called cacti, ugh!!! Stevie
Hello from the US. Your voice is so soothing. Your thoughts like stories. The countryside is beautiful. The old bridges and walls are wonderful. I have to say I am hooked. I love larking with you!
Excellent presentation as always on this channel. Visuals and commentaries set the scene for a most enjoyable experience. Many thanks Rob from Adelaide
I don’t know what to say to my old schoolmates either.....thanks for this video...the cobalt blue tubes reminded me of my days in chemistry class.
Mossy boots and vertebral insulators are my favorites. Thanks
I loved revisiting your old haunts! I am convinced the thick blue rods with the grooves on them were bottle blanks, marked at the appropriate breaking point for the glass blower. Of course, I have no evidence for that. :'D
Beautiful scenery, beautiful day. Love your videos so much. Relaxing, informative and your treasures are amazing 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 That's a lovely comment.
What a wonderful walk through the glorious countryside - as fascinating as it is soothing, the perfect antidote to the lingering anxieties of recent times. Thank you so much for taking us along with you.
Thanks Yvonne, I'm glad you can get a little escapism in my videos... and happy to be able to make them for people stressed by the current situations. 🙂
that is a beautiful view at the beginning and the so is the forest walk.
Your meanderings, your musings, are always a welcome part of my day.
I noticed you find golf balls in other videos, that are in strange places.
A fisherman I follow out of Guernsey found a Golf ball in a Lobster trap that was almost 100 feet down!! Go figure! I have found them in mountain streams! Someone needs to tag a couple and check their migratory habits!
That half a metal orb with a spout in it, could that be half of a bulet? I spelled it incorrectly, it was meant to do eggs and foix gras in the manner Queen Victoria liked. It involved eggs, aspic and goose liver. It looks like the top half.
I'd certainly be interested if someone could track their habbits; they don't seem to have good camoflage, and their nest building is rudimentary at best... I have seen some flying, but they're ungainly and don't seem able to fly great distances. Maybe they don't so much migrate, as meander... I too find them in the strangest of places. I found a really old one yesterday; perhaps even a native variety. 🙂
Lovely video as always .what lovely part of the country
Thanks Sarah, I didn't appreciate it quite so much until people here kept telling me how lovely it is, now I feel very lucky to live here. 🙂
That was beautiful! Totally enjoyed that adventure.
Glad you got donations for your equipment... But unfortunately I didn't send... As I donate at the moment to cancer research as my dad is not well atm.. But your walk thru the Yorkshire countryside let's me escape for a while.. ty Tom... Sue from The Wirral UK 🇬🇧
Thanks Sue, I try not to expect anything in the way of donations and I hope it doesn't come across as if I'm pressuring people into giving anything to me. I think Cancer research is a very worthy cause; I donate there too when I can afford to, amonst other charities. I hope your dad gets better, and I'm glad that my videos can give you a bit of an escape. Warm regards, Tom.
Tom, the walk through the forest was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! I would love to walk through there and maybe sit and admire the forest. Phil and Caroline would love that place, maybe in the future you all could co together.
Your finders were great and the glass rods are stunning to which would make a beautiful wind chime.
It’s great to see you out and about again taking us on another adventure! You mentioned doing a video of walking/hiking and that would be great to see! The area of this video was beautiful and looking down into the valley was breath taking to say the least,
Take care, stay safe! Much love and tight hugs from East Tennessee ❤️❤️
Tom all your adventures are nice but the scenery in this one was outstanding! ❤️
Very enjoyable walk and hunt and narration and you! Thank you for letting me tag along.
Thanks Malinda, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
I really enjoy your videos. The stroll through the woods is always lovely. I love hearing the birds and the water. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Katie, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Could the blue glass rods be discarded from a glass blower.
I hope that's a possibility; I can't find any record of glass works in the area though. Some local breweries that might have made their own bottles, but nothing definite. Someone's suggested they might have been raw materials for making marbles... though again, can't find any record of it in the area. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh The graduations on the rod feel like they are marks to denote the amount of glass for a ??bottle??. I would be curious to know if the approximate weight of one chunk of glass matches a vintage beer bottle or similar. Just a thought.
The only blue glass sights I know is Bristol. Its famous for the beautiful blue glass ornaments.
