Slow TV - Walking To Weymouth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2023
- Join me for a walk from Wyke Regis into Weymouth, along part of the Rodwell trail and the coast path.
This episode has some rambling narration and a little amateur foraging botany - but nothing much happens, and certainly not on purpose, but that's OK - there are no unexpected loud noises in this video and no midroll ads.

Hi Shrimpy, it was a pleasure to bump into you, Jenny and Eva during this walk (it made our week!).
There are some wonderful walks just north of the Rodwell Trail, the Wey Valley walks and area near the Upwey Wishing Well are a particular delight.
Stay awesome dude!
It was lovely to stop and chat with you - hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip
21:12 gold tier dad joke, made my day
I'm gonna have to remember that one for later. lol
That joke made me click the Like button. I do that for every Shrimp video after I watched it, but sometimes the click gets triggered by something brilliant he says.
Same here
I could feel the sun on my skin. And the sound of the birdies, thank you so much for taking us with you!🐕🦺
I feel like a pet being secured in his backpack, looking over his shoulder, very comfortable
Used to live there! The trail is the remains of the Weymouth to Portland Railway, opened in 1865 and finally closed 100 years later in 1965. The line went from Weymouth's main station and ended up right at the top of the island. The section you walked had 4 stations along it. The suspected military road is actually purposed built, with the tracked and station next to it. There used to be a massive torpedo factory next to it.
The Rodwell trail used to be an old train line that went to Castletown on portland. It would help ship portland stone out from the quarries and take passengers to and from Weymouth to Portland.
The railway line actually went through Castletown down the eastern side of the island then cut inland to terminate at Easton - roughly where the new Tesco is situated.
As someone who is unlikely to leave his country, I am very grateful to get to see the sights in England. Such a beautiful trail.
And since you asked... I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE a video on the inside of Nothe Castle.
I second the motion!
Two Shrimp videos to watch on Saturday morning. This is a treat.
Thanks, Mike
How wonderful to wake up to a new Shrimp slow walk!! Had a beautiful one myself last night along the Boyne river. Mist coming down. Sun setting over Newgrange. Cows on our right, sheep on the left, fish jumping in the river, birds in the trees. Moon coming up. It was just magical! ❤
Beautiful mate. I’m a good bit more north than you. Heading to Belfast today for a lovely walk (and Pokémon Go hunt) around Titanic quarter 🇮🇪💚
@@SchuckPipe I hope your walk is going great! How beautiful 😍
@@SchuckPipe Enjoy!! It’s a nice mild day but a bit more sun would be even better!!
@@CatsForTheCatGod Thank you. I got some lovely photos. It was just beautiful.
Wexford here 😊 Still waiting for the sunny weather. But everywhere is green and lush and getting ready for summer.
Very cool of you to do this, I love slow TV. Slow TV is very big in Sweden, almost as big as football and Ice hockey. Millions of Swedes are currently watching the The Great Moose Migration on national TV, ongoing live from 23 April to 7th May. I'm always tuned in on my second work monitor to see those Great Beasts of the forest migrating to the southern lands to bring on a new generation.
That sounds amazing. Here in Canada I've not heard of a moose migration, but we have herds of caribou in the north that migrate a very long distance. That would be interesting for our national broadcast CBC to do.
Shrimp: "I think I found only this top part here."
Sea mine: *KABOOM*
"nothing much happens" perfectly fits my mood right now.
I've relatively recently found your channel (as many have through the scambaiting) but got sucked into all the other cool and interesting things you do. I've struggled with eating for a while (not an eating disorder as such, just depression making me not hungry) and your videos have inspired me a huge amount to try and cook for myself again. Some things I probably won't try but you have helped me in more ways with your calming and informative videos than anything has in a long time! Thank you! ❤
@AtomicShrimp The fact you noticed my comment has made my day. It might not be a big thing to many people but your channel is the first time I've ever felt the need to comment to show my appreciation. I mean it when I say you have really helped me. You are awesome!
I grew up in Dorset, love seeing you exploring the beautiful countryside from my childhood for the first time. It’s pronounced Nothe like cove (but with the “th” sound) by the way, really interesting visit if you’re into history!
Amazing place! 👏
My hometown!! So wonderful to wake up to this, makes me want to visit! Thanks for the vid Shrimp 🤗
Your hometown is awesome 👌
I absolutely love nature, and historical landmarks, though I have mobility issues that limit what I'm able to do and visit. On days that I'm bed-bound, your videos have offered a massive comfort, and being able to see places I wouldn't ordinarily get to and learning along the way is so gratifying. You inspired me to start doing a little gardening, too. Thank you for your content, Atomic shrimp!
I am glad Eva can meet with other dogs. The one we had decided any other dog was an enemy. It made walking with the pug very adventurous
When we used to travel to Weymouth for seaside holidays (we used to stay in the Durdle Door camping park), my grandmother in her wheelchair used to love being taken along the Rodwell trail. This video has truly brought back some wonderful memories, Thankyou.
What an enjoyable walk. What a Beautiful day. Thank You for taking us along.
It has been 15 years that I have left the UK. What a lovely video. I enjoy your videos of your walks. I ordinarily came from southern England.
Thank you.
Year after year this channel is always outstanding,i love when you explain in a foraging video!! Thanks very much!!
Hey Mike, idk if u'll read this but I just wanted to thank u (again) for the content u put out. This afternoon I started feeling anxious for several reasons and just, sitting down and enjoying your little walk helped me get out of that mental state. Thanks a lot!
"Cos they don't know the words". 😅
Wonderful video, what a beautiful part of the world.
The rodwell trail is my local haunt! That trail used to be part of a trainline connecting weymouth and portland. Obviously it is no longer usable by trains, but a spectacular route for pedestrian/cycles. Nothe Fort is pronounced like the "no"-"the", like nose with a lisp.
Ah this brought back memories, I holidayed in Weymouth with my family a lot as a kid. We actually stayed in Brewers Quay (literally a stones throw from the harbour), Nothe Fort is a great place to visit and im glad to see they still have the rowing boat trips across the harbour.
Yes, please take us on more walks and explore old buildings and castles. Thank you for taking me on your walk. I can't walk any distance at all anymore so this is beautiful. And I can hear the birds in my bedroom.
This channel is so random. It ranges from a walking video, to budget challenge, to scam baiting. I like it.
The electricity joke had me laugh out loud….I had to repeat it to my grandson. Loved this video. The descriptions are brilliant.Thank you.
Lovely to watch - Sunday night in Australia and when the walk started I wondered - the Eva appeared so all is well .
The Rodwell trail was an old railway, it ran from Weymouth through to sandsthiughy halt across to the Portland back when I was a child it still had the platform. Sands fort gardens have the ruins of Sandsfootcastle built for Henry the 8th.The path your walking along was different when I was a child years ago you could walk along by the beach but sadly to coastal erosion went years ago. Newton's cove just before the Nothe thought, I spent many happy hours. Nothe fort was abandoned and in ruins then. I Lived in the bungalow next to the little tea hut just by Nothe steps. It's changed so much from my time to your video. There used to be a rowing boat which went from near lifeboat station to the other side where the old sealink ships went from, the train would come along Weymouth quay.
Wow Mike you must have some sublime inner peace living amonst all that lovely NATURE👍
Lovely. I enjoyed that. Can't get out at mo.
After being unable to be on RUclips for a week due to internet issues, I'm so glad we can catch up on your videos we've missed. What a beautiful walk 😊
It's like you're on my annual holiday. I blimmin' love the Dorset coast. Have a look at Ringstead bay, if you haven't already. It's smashing.
What a lovely slow walk around Weymouth! I grew up there and you brought back so many very happy childhood memories. Thank you so much.
21:12 A little out of breath but had to go back to make a dad joke. I love it :D Thanks for taking us with you on your journeys
I Was looking for partridges around 23:50 (I think...).
You're making me realise I really wanna take my camper van to that bit of the UK some time :) Probably not this year, but maybe next year around this time. It just all looks very cozy
Digging the virtual field trip, thanks!
As someone who pretty much visits the area 4 times a year, this was very nice to see
What an interssting walk with very pretty scenery, with a bit of foraging information chucked in making even more interesting for me. GREAT VIDEO
Stunning Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon at the very start in a beautiful setting. Thank you, Atomic Shrimp from a proud Saab owner.
What a lovely day for that walk 😊
good to see this on a saturday morning, glad to see you exploring the old Rail line from melcombe regis to portland, and you started at the site of britains first torpedo factory, Whites torpedo factory. Nothe sounds like Nose !
Just a suggestion, wouldn't be possible to include a map of where you're going so we have some kind of context of the general area? That. Would be neat
Stoopid autocorrect. Would it be possible.
I was trying to follow it on Google maps as he walked along. Boy, did I get lost!
I definitely needed a Slow TV today. Thank you Mr Shrimp!
Lovely walk, folks. To be honest, I don't care where you walk and what you tell, it's always interesting. Eva is a nice bonus 🐶❤️😀
As a Weymouth resident its nice to see a video! Should do a long walk to Abbotsbury. Lovely walk but about 23k
Yes, agree! Just make sure they're not firing on the range that day.
Everytime I watch your videos you are getting closer to where I live. Absolutely love it. I'd love you to do a forage along the old railway line to west bay. Takes you across powerstock nature reserve. Beautiful walking and a lot of history about the old railway line. Oodles of wild garlic for a start 😂
I enjoyed the sights and sounds of the walk, what I miss is the smell of the waterway. Please do a video of a tour of the fort.
Lovely walk, thanks for taking us with you!
Thanks so much for this lovely walk. It was immensly calming after a long day at school and a night with too little sleep. ❤
The old railway from Easton to Weymouth. The tarmac part is the long platform that was used by the old Whiteheads torpedo factory.
A nice walk along the route of the former Weymouth and Portland Railway.
Wow what beautiful scenery, I really miss the sea & thanks Atomic shrimp 🦐 🤗
Thanks for sharing these nice walks around the country side where you live.
I've never been to England and I really appreciate being able to explore a little part of it through your videos.
It truly is a beautiful part of the world with loads of history. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Hello from California. Loved every second of this virtual trip. I hope I get the opportunity to visit that area at least once
LoL those dastardly 3 cornered leeks always causing a ruckus
What a lovely enjoyable video. Thank you Mr and Mrs Shrimp and Eva. :):)
Great to see you walking through Weymouth. It was my home for 20 years before I moved the next town over. It's an amazing place in the spring/summer. 'Nothe' is pronounced like 'cove', but with a soft 'th'.
What a lovely walk! Thank you for posting!
Thanks Mike. Lovely to spend time with you.
That fort looks interesting. It's great that the old rail way tracks are reused like that we have some around here that I would like to see be used as a walking track.Thank you for taking us on your day out.
I live in Karachi
Because they don’t know the words….. I actually laughed out loud !
Brilliant. I live in Weymouth, i live only a few minutes from the Rodwell train. It's nice to see you walking around. Definitely using some of your foraging tips!
lovely relaxing walk with a knowledgable friend by the name of Mr shrimp :D seems like a cool area to learn about, love seeing the old buildings and would be very interested in a fort tour.
What a lovely video Mike. You had a lovely day for it. ☀️ I live in East Dorset. I love Weymouth and used to visit often with my recently deceased husband. I’m hoping to visit again soon. 😊
I lived and worked down there for a few years and never came across any of that, thank you for showing us!😊
I enjoyed that walk 😊 Thanks for sharing.
What a stunning walk - a nice start to the bank holiday weekend.
Great video once again, Mr Shrimp! I would love to see a video on Noth Fort.
Ty for sharing this relaxing walk
This is amazing.keep up the good work
I’d love rock pooling video I always make a beeline for them on a beach. I would love to know what I’m looking at.
Has anyone ever thought about fighting fire with fire when it comes to aggressive plants. Maybe move in an aggressive plant next to it to help keep both under control. Admittedly it could end up a bad idea of they both take over. But there might be method in that madness. Throw down some mint or horseradish amoung three cornered leek and see if they keep each other in some sort of ballance.
Thank you that was a good look around. I can't remember ever having visited Weymouth and I'd love to see a fort tour if you get around to doing one. It looks very imposing!
The Whitehead Torpedo Factory was at Ferrybridge near where you start your walk. Later becoming Wellworthy's.
Good Adder country when it gets warmer, perhaps.
Nice walk and good views.
Nice walk. Thankyou for sharing.
Wow. We used to holiday in Weymouth every year from the East Midlands. I think it was M42 for the most part and a 5 hour + drive for my old man. We stayed at Little Sea caravan park but one year we had a guest house on Portland. Still have the photos of me and my two little brothers in Nothe Fort. I will have to go back, it's all still mapped in my head the roads we took and places we went. Beautiful part of the country.
Oh and I hope Davis Bon is OK.
Lovely beach at Sandsfoot. The beach sloped very, very gently. When we were on holiday there, many years ago, (1975, I think) we stayed in a house at Fortuneswell, on Portland. The newsagent there told dad about the beach, which was hardly used. The castle was not fenced off then. We have photos somewhere of my brother and I near the jetty you mention. Dad and me swam off Chesil beach - the water was incredibly clear, and extremely cold, I remember. It sloped very steeply there, to a great depth. Dad told us about when he was undergoing training with the Royal Engineers, just after the war. He had been practicing using a bridgelaying tank on one of the lagoons between the Portland causeway and Chesil beach. That evening, having been given the night off, he and his mates went to have a drink in Weymouth, but didn't fancy walking. So they borrowed the bridgelayer. They parked it up on the stones near a lagoon, and walked the short distance to Weymouth. On returning to their ride, they were greeted by the sight of Military Police, an incandescent with rage Sergeant Major, and the tank submerged in water and shingle. The tide had come in, refilled the lagoon, and buried the tank. My dad and his pals had to dig it out by hand, get it on to a tank transporter (minus the bridge), get it all back to camp, and then clean every scrap of beach out of it, so it could be made useable again. Then they spent a fortnight in the 'glasshouse'. Dad always seemed rather pleased about the whole thing.
Sorry, seem to have wandered there.
Beautiful video. Nice one. 👍👍👍
Love these videos, thank you!
Just what I needed today.
The nature sounds are great, I fell asleep watching.
Always interesting. Castle exploration would be nice, I suspect you'd also enjoy it so win-win.
Thoroughly enjoyed your walk, and seeing beautiful Eva .... good job my Trudie dog wasn't there..... she'd have been in that pond😊😊
I love all your vids
1:35 into the vid i felt my shoulders "unbunge" bless you sir.
EDIT: "We are not going into the fort today" I whined like a child that didn't get a candy.
Great Video. Sandy and I love Weymouth
Ahhh my childhood family holidays. Brings back the memories.
Lovely day for it , . Thankyou !
Hi from Weymouth… great to see this…
Awesome video, thanks for sharing your day. Take care, be well
Definitely would love to see a rockpooling video!!
So wild seeing a trail I’ve walked thirty times on this channel.
Loved this. Portland was my home for many years. Could you do the trail around Portland. It takes you to church ope cove and Portland Bill.
How lovely😊
Interesting area, thank you
Hi Mr. Shrimp! I’d love a tide pool video. I’d also be really interested in any old buildings you’d be willing to show us. Take care!
Looks like a beautiful area! Despite the dreaded three cornered leek following you.
Relaxing video, nice views. Please more wierd stuff in a can :)
I don't think I've heard a transformer hum at 50hz before (as compared to the US's 60hz). Cool little addition to this video, thanks for that; as an electrical engineer I found that fascinating.
