I once had fish n chips in Brockenhurst. I think about that moment from time to time. 👍
I hope they weren't triple cooked chips.
Great video
I used to look forward to driving to The New Forest & Sway most evenings after work. A great place, steeped in WWII history too.
Green tshirts - A great idea.
Merch ideas - 2023 Calendars/desk calendars.
bookmarks, logo on a white cap/hat or on an umbrella?
Nostalgic tv - bring back 'Tiswas' - water fights & custard pie flinging, fun & action for all ages!
That is a lot of sweet merch. I will see how the hats and T-shirts go.
The funny sounding crow is a raven- a nice sighting of one, too!
Excellent. I did not know that. Thanks cool dude.
Nice walk, the New Forest ponies are always great to see. I remember going on evening/ night bog walks with a youth group in the forest long time ago lol. Used to love watching The Clangers and Rhubarb and Custard, later on Grange hill was great :)
Dogtagnian and the 3 Muskehounds. Bananaman.
Two classics cool dude.
Favourites were The Herbs and Bagpuss.
I really liked Bagpuss too.
@@cdwc I have the dvd, Marek 😉
piano playing is coming in though cool dude. I need a CDWC beanie
coming on* bluddy autocorrectiveness
Nice one cool dude. What keyboard do you have?
Hi Marek. My favourite things that were on TV when I was young were, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and The Bionic Man
Nostalgic TV - I used to love Stig of the Dump!
I think I only ever watched the first episode of that.
The magic boomerang - a series where a young boy had a boomerang that could fly for 2 or 3 minutes, and while it was airborne, everything was frozen in time, except the boy, and he could do virtually anything he wanted. I really wanted one of these boomerangs, and I had great plans for it! 🤠
That sounds excellent. I am going to throw a stick in the air tmw and see if the same thing happens.
Marek - what is this beautiful music playing at the 2:00 minute mark ? Never stop walking dude !
It is an extract from 'First Dream' by 'Brian Bolger' from the RUclips audio library cool dude.
Very enjoyable. I use to like Bernard Cribbins reading stories on Jackanory. The Clangers and The Magic Roundabout.
Yes Bernard Cribbins was brilliant on Jackanory.
@@cdwc l think that would be a job you would be good at .
When I was at brockenhurst college there used to be loads of donkeys nearby and it was fun to bring one into college (if it wanted to follow us)
Ha ha. I bet the caretaker got well pissed off.
The low budget alien costume at 3 minutes 22 seconds looks like Kendo Nagasaki
Ha. Yes.
I'm probably a little older than you but do you remember 'Cheggers Plays Pop', 'Razzamataz' and 'The Adventure Game'? For the latter, I was really quite concerned for the contestants when they were zapped by stepping into the wrong part of the vortex. When they did, the Aspedistra just laughed at that. I hated that plant! (Trust me on this one). £16 for a burger is the very definition of daylight robbery. I get that pubs have to survive and well done for supporting them but that's extortionate for what I saw on your picture. I suggest a pie or gammon and chips next time for a bit of variety but I'm sure that'll just provoke 'Sunglasses Marek' even more. Sad about the T-shirt but hey ho great idea about the beanie hat. Sign me up! A great bit of advertising for you. Well done on the walk. Looking forward to the next one.
Yes, I remember Cheggers Plays Pop. I also remember watching the Adventure Game on my 4th birthday and not understanding how the weird gameboard at the end worked, and why people got evaporated.
The burger was absolute dog shit. It is pretty difficult to mess up a burger but they managed it.
Great music on this vid!
Thank RUclips Audio Library.
Logans Run was a film that was always on the TV when I was a kid! I still think they are gonna kill off the oldies 🤣
I remember watching Logan's Run and agreeing with them that 30 was old!!!!!!
I went to the cinema to watch it when it first came out. Now I am old and still here (just) 😉
Nice work, Cool Dude. Ignored your comment at 08:42 about not having to stay around for the prize draw and was rewarded with the Oh Bollox remix of Minuet For Lovers - bonus! ! 😎
I hope to play out every video with some terrible piano playing.
My Sister in-law lives in Lyndhurst and opposite The Oak Pub, so it was nice to see a video of an area that I am familiar with. However, many of the popular trails in the area are maintained with the more casual walker in mind. Hence, as you stated, they're not through heavily wooded areas. Perhaps local walking clubs can provide more challenging routes, based upon their local knowledge.
Yes it felt more like a mountain bike track than a walking area at times.
I really enjoy these videos and your comments. We didn't get a TV-set at home until I was 14 years old (1968) and we had only one channel in Norway at that time. So I have no favourite programme from my childhood. 😭🤣
Maybe it was a blessing not to have any TV shows. I bet you read lots of books.
@@cdwc extremely good guess 👍🏻 And I am reading still 😄
The Boy from Space. That used to terrify me, and still does to some extent..
Absolutely terrifying ruclips.net/video/5zIbEoGRt-Q/видео.html
@@cdwc Oh god it's the thin man! Will I ever escape him?? 😩
I get nostalgic for something called 'we are klang' that was on the beeb once, not many people I know have actually seen it, let alone heard of it :(
I think only about five people watched it. Ha.
I fondly remember a schools programme called Maths in a box, in which a mad looking man lived inside a dice (die), it seemed to be powered by an exercise bike. You had to say "ticky ticky tox into the box, it's easy as 1, 2, 3" to shrink down and get inside. Ah, great days!
I just googled it. We used to have the TV in the background at the start of this episode. ruclips.net/video/k4TxGHuREgk/видео.html
@@cdwc
Wow, that was scarier than I remember.😯
Basil the great mouse detective and an American tail are a couple of animated classics imo. SC x
I remember going to watch Basil the Great Mouse Detective at the cinema. Young Sherlock Holmes is another of my favourites. Also oddly I always thought that Fievel in the American Tail was exactly like the young kid in Witness, or at least based on him.
Thank you! 🥰
The Singing Ringing Tree
I once had to talk about that in a sketch on a show called 'Sorry I've Got No Head', I played a 7 year old being read bedtime stories who had the personality of a 50 year-old cockney builder. I had no idea what it was at the time.
Best childhood cartoon series for me was......
Whacky Races 🏁 👌
Hahaaa... I can still do the voice of Mutleys Laugh and the character in the Anthill Mob who always said "Oh No... Penelope's Gonna Crash"
Hahaaa... the things that stick in your brain and tickle ya.
Cheers Marek
All the best 👍 🖐
Yes I always wanted the Anthill Mob to win but it was always seemed to be the Lumberjack one or the Professor.
@@cdwc as Dick Dastardly would say.... "Drrrratt... and Double Dratt" 😄
👍👍👍
@@cdwc In a student house we used to have a sweepstake on Wacky Races - a pound in the pot and pick your car - there was a Greek guy who always picked Dick Dastardly! He would always be going mad at the tv, saying 'no, Dick, you're winning, don't go back and put pins on the road!' He never worked it out! Good times!
@@Discodaggers1 I love that story 😄 it makes me remember how absorbing the fun was. 😄😃👍
Shame you didn't get the best of the new forest cool dude. I'd recommend veering off the main surfaced paths on to any of the myriad smaller footpaths. I swear last time I was there I saw a pine martin. Either that or someone had stretched a cat. Stay cool
I would have loved to see a Pine Martin. I must put that in the next edition of the Spotter's Handbook.
Remember the film The Railway Children? Always takes me back. 😌
Yes, I did not really watch it though. Although I had a big crush on Jenny Agutter in American Werewolf in London.
@@cdwc I think every male had a crush on her!
Pretty sure my brother had an animated classics video of Robinson Crusoe when we were kids
I think they should start putting them on again. I remember watching them when I was sick at home from school whilst eating tomato soup.
Plenty of silver washed fritillaries on the IoW Marek, including the Valezina variety. Mid June and July.
Excellent. I will keep an eye out for them cool dude.
I went on a school trip to Foxlease the home of the Girl Guides in the early 80s we did a walk from near lyndhurst to Minstead across some fields and through woodland. It was an interesting trip we got the ferry from Yarmouth then a bus from lymington. The bus driver was not amused when our teacher asked for two adults and twenty children 😂
Ha. When I used to get the bus as a child I didn't understand why bus drivers were so moody. I had to get the same bus as the schoolkids from Newport when I came back from this trip. Now I understand.
Childhood favorite: Captain Kangaroo. I think I enjoyed your ferry ride more than the forest. I found an onion ring in my fries (chips) today; eww as I can't eat onions. Salad sounds better to me too now. Lol
I can't imagine a world without onions. (I also love onion rings).
I've not been to the New Forest but people have told me it's less forest-y than the name implies! I found the same with the Forest of Dean on Sunday. Beautiful but frequently bisected by roads, forestry tracks and then housing.
Good to see another video from you and somewhere different. All the best, Marek.
Whenever I see a video of a walk in Scotland and there's a loch... That cartoon The Family Ness starts playing in my head!! :-D
Thanks Olly. It felt a bit like what Londoners would call a forest rather than an actual forest. Stay cool.
Magic Roundabout, Rhubarb and Custard, plus Jackanory! All classics in their time, as I show my age. Next time, head east or west of the main road through the forest, it can be much more rewarding. And I cant believe you saw a raven! CD#123
I can't believe I mistook a raven for a crow. I will definitely go off the path next time. I wasn't sure of there were any regulations or not. _left:
I used to enjoy a series that was called Codename Icarus, it was a strange 'cold war' children's programme on the BBC. Also used to love the Famous Five on ITV. As for CDWC branded gear, how about those buff things that you can wear on your head in various ways as that would look cool. Failing that, some lucky, comfy, supportive pants with a logo on each bum cheek?
Yes I looked at those buffs cool dude. There are some rubbish cheap ones, but the decent ones are pretty expensive. Maybe I'll do a poll on what people would like.
It's a good job my life doesn't depend on your challenges as never got one right yet, lol but frequently went to that area when I was in the army so thanks for bringing back the nemories
There should be a prize for never getting one right I think.
Hi Marek, thanks for the video. I used to like watching 'The Fairly Odd Parents', which was an American cartoon that was aimed at younger children really but I found it hillarious, it sometimes featured Adam West (Batman from the old series) as 'Catman', and his arch enemy was 'The Crimson Chin', voiced by Jay Leno. They even parodied The Silence of the Lambs once. I think that happened anyway, seems a bit strange now, thinking about it.
I am going to google those right now cool dude.
I remember that. Funny stuff.
Cosmo and Wanda were great characters and that Chip Skylark song is genuinely catchy
Kool video fella 👍. As a kid always enjoyed watching Battle of the Planets and especially liked the theme tune and I have decided this year to attempt to buy the Battle of the Planets theme tune on vinyl. Regarding merchandise I think it would be pretty dope if you had some self adhesive vinyl stickers made so members can put them on their car windows or a motorcycle petrol tanks.
Yes I will look into vinyl stickers. I loved the Battle of the Planets themes, one of the greatest, along with Condorman, the Equalizer and Magnum.
I've found Brockenhurst to be quite boring too. The train ride through it is more scenic. The Beaulieu area is nice - heathland.
I'm nostalgic for Rentaghost, Gordon the Gopher and Pip Schofield in the broom cupboard, Button Moon and The Sooty Show. 👻
Yes I will check out Beaulieu at some point. There used to be loads of adverts on TV for it when I was a kid. I never got into Rentaghost though. I just read that Timothy Claypole sadly died when he was young.
I used it enjoy the Friday film specials on BBC 1 when they would show films made by the Children's Film Foundation. They would show classics like The Boy Who Turned Yellow and another film about a yeti called Yen Yen who only ate ice lollies or something.
Yes, I like 4D Special Agents, Tommy and his Super Tiger T-shirt and the nuclear testing one with Tinker off Lovejoy when he was young.
That was a most enjoyable video, cool dude, and the views looked lovely. My wife and I went for a similar walk near Lyndhurst last week and stuck to the gravel paths as the forest can be boggy this time of year. Saw a few deer and lots of ponies too.
PS fave shows as a kid: Singing Ringing Tree and the Hair Bear Bunch. Plus Q7, Reggie Perrin & I Didn’t Know You Cared
I loved watch Reggie Perrin repeats, especially the start bit when he walked to work.
@@cdwc Forgot to say the image of the ponies in the pond at 1:45 is wonderful. Reminds me of a scene from a Studio Ghibli movie. Thank you
Great vid as always. 🙂
One of my fave programs as a kid was knightmare. When I watched it at the time, I found the presenter quite scary and harsh but then I watched it on challenge as an adult and found him hilarious.
We're planning a walk up to the wrekin hill in Shropshire in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to that.
Yes I remember thinking the Dungeonmaster was a nob when I was younger, only as I've got older did I realise he was doing it tongue in cheek.
Oooh, nasty!
Knightmare for the nostalgia! I recently learnt that the Knightmare Live guys used to compete in Volfsball... Are you all still in touch?
Ah yes Paul Flannery, Tom Bell & Co. They are nice blokes.
Jaime...Jaaaaaime...Jaime and his magic torch. Also Marek please don't listen to Sunglasses Marek, you are an athlete and he just never stops moaning. Sometimes I wonder why you bother inviting him.
Kids shows had much better music in the 70's and 80's. I will pass on your wise words to that asshole sunglasses Marek. But how do I know whether this is sunglasses Peter talking?
@@cdwc Oh I don't let sunglasses Peter out of the dungeon. That guy is a dick.
The rule reversal makes total sense, although it would have been a way we could get coastal points here in the midlands!! Never mind - as it happens #234 and I are going to come and do the full IoW coastal path in June . Thanks for the videos!
You will get hundreds of points on the coastal path. I hope you enjoy it and have great weather. You'll probably see me wandering about talking to myself.
We both loved Catweasle (showing our age!). How about a Cool dudes baseball cap?
Yes I have thought about baseball caps, but there are so many terrible cheap ones available at printing companies I don't know what brands to get.
Aw man, disappointing walk AND disappointing burger?? That’s a bit rubbish. It did look like a nice walk tho, all those ponies knocking about and u filmed sum beautiful scenery. And a crow that sounds like a pig. Pretty cool imo! 🐍🦋🐴😎
The burger was I liked the ponies though.
Awww man! B - Garden Hose. Does that mean I'm a snake catcher in training?
Garden Hose wins the runner up snake catcher prize.
@@cdwc YES! Awesome!
Marek how about cool dudes toilet paper? Id buy one. Maybe even a pack of six, for special occasions :)
No-one wants green toilet paper.
whenever i hear the word naturist i think of the hiker that walks around not wearing much
I wonder how he caught the snakes 🤔 did he ambush them by jumping out from behind a tree as they slithered by ? Or did he dig a hole and cover it with twigs and leaves so the unsuspecting snake would fall into his cunning trap ? 🐍I wonder if your crow was a raven.
I expect he had about a million different methods if he caught 30,000. He must have been catching six or seven a day.
@@cdwc I suspect he was that traditional figure in the country pub, the old person who spouts BS so that others buy them a beer !
I picked D. Unfortunately due to my location and snake based PTSD from living in Australia I am not available for the snake catching job. I now live in a country that has no snakes. Hopefully someone else also picked D who is more available. I do think you should warn people beforehand that they are applying for a snake based job. Bad form Marek. Ps The Fast 800 Keto diet… having lost 8cm off my waist in 2 weeks means I am now a keto diet evangelist and I am obligated to bring it up in every conversation I have for next 6 months. Perhaps try it instead of burgers and fries.
I love that they have a separate plan for over 40's. Is there a Bushranger Keto diet?
@@cdwcThey just steal food from a keto house. Der Marek!
Cool Dude undies!
Briefs, boxers or thong?
@@cdwc Probably wouldn't be enough room for the logo on a thong :D.
Why'd you make that child cry Marek?
He saw my face.
Maybe could allow one Likeness per walk?
I think it gets too complicated cool dude. I trust the logic of the cool dude to assess their points scoring appropriately. I think roadkill still gets half a point. Also, I am allowing myself half-alien spaceship points for that Alien spaceship sighting in the 'Sandown Clown' video. As technically it was a spaceship.
427 for first
We are Klang
4:05 i hid in those trees in 1998, waiting for Jeffrey to deliver the young girls. Buggered up my knee caps and sat in horse dung.
Sorry you had such a boring, uneventful walk this time, but still a good video!
I see, no, I hear you're still struggling to learn the piano. Don't dispear, things are bound to get better, and then maybe check out the new Casio vocal keyboard. It has hundreds of great sounds and allows you to create your own lyrics that are then sung! So......... maybe.......a Cool Dudes song in the future....??
" I'd buy that for a dollar ", well probably better to pay in pounds sterling, exchange rate and all that you know.👍😂
My old keyboard I got about 15 years ago, when I tried to learn before (a Yamaha E303) broke, so I just spent all my money on a new one - the Casio CT-S1. I am not overly impressed. But hopefully it will last ten years.
My wife requests Tea Towels instead of T-Shirt. I'll buy a Beanie hat and Spotter's Handbook while I'm at it. That's about it for now. 👍
I don't know if I could shift enough tea towels to warrant getting them. Maybe they would make a good prize.
You were on my doorstep. If you need anything/assistance when over here happy to ping you my number 🙂
Yes. I might do the Solent Way at some point. I think in reverse from Emsworth to Milford on Sea. No-one wants to finish a walk in Portsmouth.
@@cdwc That must be Sunglasses Marek talking.
I'm only trying to help you Row-land . Hats sound great!
Stop eatin dem burgers Roland.
