*Afterthoughts & Addenda* *Anomalous Voice* - some people mentioned hearing a voice at around the 11:42 mark, saying 'Where are you going?' - I initially thought this was a mixing error in the edit, but I checked the raw footage and it's there. We did pass a number of hikers travelling in the opposite direction, along that stretch of the path, so I expect this was someone chatting to Jenny while I was talking to the camera about sloes.
I cannot stress enough that simply getting OUT is vital to maintaining any kind of mental/emotional stability. Doesn't have to be a long bushcraft adventure, even a short hike or just finding a relaxing spot and sitting in the sun for a bit is enough. Seeing/hearing/smelling nature, the breeze on your face and the sun slanting thru the trees is like a calming balm for the soul. I enjoy all your videos, but the rambles thru the countryside are special, you Jenny and of course Eva just getting out and enjoying the world around you. Thanks for sharing moments like this Mike, I no longer live near the ocean and while I love my mountains, it's good to be able to vicariously enjoy the sea with you.
Hi Thank you for your content and this video in particular. My aunt passed away yesterday and we used to take walks in the forest together when I was a kid and she would show me all the plants and birds. This video helped a bit with the pain, and I am grateful. Thank you
Eva must've been the happiest of doggos on that walk, with all the sand she could possibly dig in. She's such a delight to see being absolutely silly for no reason at all.
One for slow TV Eva just enjoying her self digging in the sand yapping while the sea comes crashing in. I do love watching Eva enjoying her self digging in the sand
Two things: We all know Eva is the real star in your videos, and, After your video where you explain that your shirts are made by the lovely Mrs Shrimp from bedlinen, you have gone up one more kudos level.
Hi, having lost my Jack Russell last year after 16 years of happy memories, especially of the beach I am really enjoying Eva's 'antics' Thank you for sharing
Videos like these inspired me to visit England last summer, including Cornwall. It was so beautiful! Really pleasant and nice, and so now seeing this brings back memories for the first time!
I just want to take a moment to say that these nature videos are the best cure to my panic attacks and anxiety spikes. Thank you for the work you put into your videos, i always look forward to them and you inspire me to try new (free!) hobbies like mudlarking
Walked these paths around Sharkham and St. Mary's growing up 5 mins from there. You can easily take if for granted when you see it every day, but this was seriously nostalgic
Eva is living her best life on the beach doing her best thing digging up her stone treasures. I love to just sit and listen to the waves doing their thing, so peaceful. Your picnic is just perfect for the beach. As a child I remember my oldest sister taking me to western supermare and the tide was out- very disappointing so I didn’t let that stop me from dipping my toes, I walked what felt like miles to get to the sea and I was covered way up my thighs will black sludgy stinky something- my sister was extremely unimpressed with my little jaunt- a wonderful childhood memories of those simple holidays.
Your poking about in the barn (05:39) reminded me of the Time Team episode in which they excavated in vain searching for a medieval wall, only to discover it incorporated in the basement wall of a public canteen area. As you pointed out, Mr. Shrimp, that pathway has served generations over the millennia...once upon a time there was a cottage, a barn, a shelter...
My kind of video. Lots of topographical interest; geology, flora and fauna, heritage . . . and food! Beautiful part of the world too, and out of season is clearly the time to visit. Great stuff.
I live in south devon. My favourite spots for a walk have always been the Bovey Valley woods, especially Pullabrook woods, Houndtor, Start point, and the place you went to in this video. If you ever go back to south devon I'd reccomend visiting at least one of these places.
Hound Tor. We’ve been visiting Dartmoor since our children were eggs, they still come with us , both in their thirties with partners and children, the rental houses cost a fortune now. Worth it to know they want to come xxx
I do find it refreshing to hear from a fresh pair of eyes about my neck of the woods. Devon in general is truly beautiful, particularly along those coastal ways, but I would be lying if I said that sometimes I take it for granted! Delightfully pleasant content as aways friend!
It's a dark and stormy day today with howling wind and rain where I'm at; I very much appreciate these videos during days like this, as it keeps my mood up despite my own weather. Thank you!
I live in the Northwest but holidayed in Torbay several times when I was a child. I have such wonderful memories of the area. I'd love to come again. Thank you for these images of one of my favourite places.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos from your holiday in Devon. The area around Brixham holds a special place for me having had many family holidays there when I was a child. Even now in my 40’s I try to visit the coast between Brixham and Kingswere when I am in Devon. Man Sands and Scabbacombe Sands (the next bay along) are particular favourites. As well as Sea Beet, Rock Samphire can be foraged on Man Sands. On summer evenings, the air in the lane heading to the beach is filled with the sent of Honeysuckles that grow in the hedges either side. In the spring, the banks that line the edges of Penhill Lane are covered in Ramsons. If you are in the area again, I can recommend a visit to Coleton Fishacre, assuming you have not already been. All the best and thank you for the videos.
I'm a little bit late to this one Mike, Jenny and Eva. The walk was a breathtaking one as is often, and the weather was glorious. The fish stew looked amazing and I could almost taste it myself with knowing the ingredients! The only thing I've never tasted was the Gurnard and Sea Beet. But all in all another very interesting and relaxing video. Thanks. Darren. 👍
Lovely looking stew! One little tip I can give regarding the strainer situation, while it might be a bit tricky without something to really hold it in, a paper towel makes for a good substitute for letting you strain a stock so you can keep all the grit and residue out of it.
I’m going to timestamp some of my favorite views/moments here: 5:04 cool tree? -> woah!! 5:31 Beautiful beach view that looks like it belongs on a travel advertisement. What a fantastic blue 5:33 this one is full of beautiful and interesting scenes, wow! Thank you for sharing your walks and wandering with us, it’s truly a treat. 8:17 I love the greens in this shot! As well as the first-person-video-game-hand, haha 8:56 I appreciate comments like these, that add a bit of context to something I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise 10:03 God, the blues 💛 and the little speck of a bird flying across the shot, near the horizon line! 11:44 my very favorite part
Love seeing these kind of landscapes. Devon and Cornwall are next on my list of places to visit in the UK. I can heartily recommend Northwest Wales if you ever do go on a little holiday next year. Great scenery, great food, great walks. Love it.
Mike geeking out on threaded rods is classic Atomic Shrimp. 😂 I envy you that amazing looking stew, I can just imagine the aroma filling your holiday kitchen. What a happy, happy video. Thank you.
People here in NZ LOVE Gurnard and they actually are really beautiful with the colouring on their side fins (think peacock colouring). They do have weird little 'fingers' on their underside which they use to walk along the bottom of the sea though!
I love gurnard. My dad used to catch them on the rare occasion while surfcasting. A special treat, and I always found it pretty in its own way (the colours on their "wings" always attracted my eye) We always pronounced it gur-nid (probably incorrect, but same fish at least). Love the taste and great fresh. Enjoy those oceanic flavours mr shrimp!
Yesterday's unboxing of the ceramic glass frypan is tempting me to source one for our kitchen. The one you're using here (25 minutes in) has a teflon coating, not something I'm timid of normally but I have birds and using teflon on heat is a hard no-no with them.
these ceramic hobs remind me of the older range style cooker hobs, it feels more natural to place a pan down on a flat surface than a grill type grid you get on gas hobs, you do have to get used to them and if you go from gas to ceramic you will burn the food bigtime, but once you get used to them they are in my opinion at least, a superior technology
A very interesting video. One clue to the age of the track is that it appears to be sunken. That, I am told is a sign that it is hundreds of years old, if not older.
I think this is my favourite 'walk' video of yours - very beautiful scenery, so lovely and calm and peaceful with the sound of the waves and some gulls, and overall so incredibly relaxing - I could have watched that walk for hours; have you considered uploading all the footage that you have of the whole walk? I'd love to see that if so and there's no need to add anything at all, I'd just love to see (and hear!) all of the unedited footage. 🙂 The food looked great too!
There often isn't a lot more footage than you see in these videos - the GoPro battery is good for between 45 and 60 minutes of footage, so I tend to just record clips when there is something to say or look at.
@@AtomicShrimp Fair enough, it was a nice thought though. 🙂 Can't the GoPro batteries be easily swapped so that you could take a fully charged spare or two (and memory cards?) and replace as required?
Pen in place names as far as I'm aware means more like 'head'. Of course in the context of a hill, it probably means head of the hill. Pen is also the Welsh word for head. Knowledge is power!

I couldn’t sleep last night due to anxiety so watch this video and forget to be anxious.
Thank you Mike
I am disabled and cannot walk for long anymore and nature is the thing I miss most. Somehow your videos always make me smile. Thank you
If you are a camper, you may enjoy "Simon, A Bloke In The Woods" as well.

My condolences, wishing you strength and peace.
....MR Shrimp..... You are winning at life there fella, WINNING a tells ya
Eva's passion for digging up the *entire* beach and barking at her rock finds is so beautiful and frantic. ❤ May we all find such passion in life!
Eva must've been the happiest of doggos on that walk, with all the sand she could possibly dig in. She's such a delight to see being absolutely silly for no reason at all.

What video is that in? That’s so sweet :)
I chortled at the sand joke. You cheeky dog.
if an Atomic Shrimp eats shrimp, is that cannibalism
Only if it’s atomic
Not if he continues to forget the salt.
It’s nuclear shell fission
Nope as long as he's not shellfish and shares.
@@edtuckerartist Nice one!!
Hi, having lost my Jack Russell last year after 16 years of happy memories, especially of the beach I am really enjoying Eva's 'antics' Thank you for sharing
I would like to thank you for this video as i have never been to this area and Brixham is where my father met my mother over 60 years ago.
Lovely stretch of the legs followed by home cooked delicious food. A perfect day.
Won’t lie I came to watch someone forage something on the cost and this showing up is just the best thing that could have ever happened to me 🙏
Eva has got to be one of my favourite RUclips doggos. She's just so enthusiastic like her owner, always up for a nature hike and delicious foods.
I love the way you inspect the steps and the rods used. I see another series coning on😂😂😂

Walked these paths around Sharkham and St. Mary's growing up 5 mins from there. You can easily take if for granted when you see it every day, but this was seriously nostalgic
"This is not the beach were going to" The force is strong in this one!
Eva is living her best life on the beach doing her best thing digging up her stone treasures.

Wow. BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for the trip mr. 🦐 Philip from Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
This video was the perfect way to wake up and start a quiet Saturday. Thank you, Mr. Shrimp! ☕️🥐
absolutely love these saturday uploads, they always pop up when i'm making something infront of the tv but have nothing to watch
Your poking about in the barn (05:39) reminded me of the Time Team episode in which they excavated in vain searching for a medieval wall, only to discover it incorporated in the basement wall of a public canteen area. As you pointed out, Mr. Shrimp, that pathway has served generations over the millennia...once upon a time there was a cottage, a barn, a shelter...
Nothing more relaxing then having delicious food and drink with the sound of the waves.
I’m really enjoying your videos in Devon. Looks like you had a great holiday 😊
Love the sound of the waves. I could listen to that sound all day
17:10 casual Star Wars reference 😅
The beach was beautiful, and Eva did a good job digging for stones😄 The fish stew looks delicious and the presentation was great the way it was.
Man, that stew. I could almost smell it through my screen. Lovely.
Clever little Eva xxx. Those rocks can be slippery customers.
a great walk, one of the many gems in the area
Devon is Heaven. So lucky to live here.
My kind of video. Lots of topographical interest; geology, flora and fauna, heritage . . . and food! Beautiful part of the world too, and out of season is clearly the time to visit. Great stuff.

Two bridges in the dart valley just before you get to spitchwick is better imo
I do find it refreshing to hear from a fresh pair of eyes about my neck of the woods. Devon in general is truly beautiful, particularly along those coastal ways, but I would be lying if I said that sometimes I take it for granted! Delightfully pleasant content as aways friend!
Eva is such a character!
Atomic Shrimp now quoting Anakin. I suppose if Jenny buys a black duvet cover, we know he will have turned to the dark side.
Love how happy Eva is with creating patterns in the sand. She's a beach artist.
I love your videos! Nature is so pretty and I admire that you make videos on what you enjoy. Love the content, Love from the US.
Such a joyous start to my viewing day. Mr Mrs Shrimp and the glorious Eva on a beautiful, rock strewn beach!!
Oh my god I love love love love LOVE this! I've been gigging very far away in Skipton but gorgeous weather yesterday as well!
I was in Bude a few months ago, not too far away from here! Amazing part of the country
It's a dark and stormy day today with howling wind and rain where I'm at; I very much appreciate these videos during days like this, as it keeps my mood up despite my own weather. Thank you!
I live in the Northwest but holidayed in Torbay several times when I was a child. I have such wonderful memories of the area. I'd love to come again. Thank you for these images of one of my favourite places.

I laughed so hard at the reveal of the reason for musical sting XD
I feel positively invigorated. Thank you.
Beautiful scenery. That dish looked amazingly tasty. Pen in Welsh means head.
Thankyou for this great start to my Sunday morning.I miss being able to go on rambles since my knees locked up.
I love waking up to an Atomic Shrimp video. Hope you have a great day Mike 👍
20:18 Did my brain first imagine people doing cartwheels?🤸 and making those ruts… yes, yes it did. 😂
I'm a little bit late to this one Mike, Jenny and Eva.
The walk was a breathtaking one as is often, and the weather was glorious.
The fish stew looked amazing and I could almost taste it myself with knowing the ingredients!
The only thing I've never tasted was the Gurnard and Sea Beet.

Beautiful! Durdle Door is stunning too.
as a concretelayer and unofficial roading engineer, your musings about that road were both enlightening and appreciated.
i love gurnard btw, its very expensive here in NZ
we say it more like 'Gur-Nid'
Love seeing these kind of landscapes. Devon and Cornwall are next on my list of places to visit in the UK. I can heartily recommend Northwest Wales if you ever do go on a little holiday next year. Great scenery, great food, great walks. Love it.
Looks like a really lovely walk, thanks for sharing. I'm sure you were all as fit as butcher's dogs by the end of your holiday.
Mike geeking out on threaded rods is classic Atomic Shrimp. 😂 I envy you that amazing looking stew, I can just imagine the aroma filling your holiday kitchen. What a happy, happy video. Thank you.
The craters left on the beach from Eva were reminiscent of the Normandy landings
😆
That fish soup looks great Mike. I really like your travel spice kit. Great holiday and lovely walk
I am just here for the scenery... I did the entire SW coast path some 35+ years ago.
I discovered you through your videos about scams but wow, I really like the cozy feeling of those nature walks videos too!
Mansands, bring me a shrimp
Make it atomic, as it should have been
less than three minutes in, and already a wonderful view or two!
Mister sandman give me a Tune 🎶fantastic. Fish stew looks delicious & thanks Atomic shrimp 🦐😊👍
You live in a beautiful part of the country Mr Shrimp.
I watched your stairs video just before doing the exact route you’re doing and admired the same handiworks!
You never shy away from making a terrible pun Mr. Mansands :D
Mike: I tend to prefer the stony beaches...
Also Mike: Knows Chesil Beach like the back of his hand (or the calluses on his feet).
What a lovely video! You find interesting things everywhere when I just see green, sand and stones! 😆
that beach sounds like pink floyd momentary lapse of reason.
I live for this wholesome content❤
That stew looked mouth watering, I may have to try my hand at one!
People here in NZ LOVE Gurnard and they actually are really beautiful with the colouring on their side fins (think peacock colouring). They do have weird little 'fingers' on their underside which they use to walk along the bottom of the sea though!
Very creative, calm, subtle post-edits! :)
I live in torbay and did the walk right down to Kingswear jeez hard going even in my early 20s but amazing views
Your beaches aren't covered in a bazillion humans; perfect. Thanks for sharing your lovely walk.
1:25 WOW! It's like CRYSIS!
I love gurnard. My dad used to catch them on the rare occasion while surfcasting.
A special treat, and I always found it pretty in its own way (the colours on their "wings" always attracted my eye)

Pretty little. Eva is having the time of her life
Eva madly barking at rocks is always amusing. She has a lot to say.

I could, but the camera can be intrusive to our enjoyment of things. This was our annual holiday.
I used to fish Sharkham point. Great bass lure fishing :)
Damn you Shrimp, you've gone and got "Mr.Sandman" stuck in my head now !
Apart from that it was a really enjoyable video !
