    "Slightly older viewers may remember Jack Hargreaves"
    Well, that made me feel old,
    Back in the days of only three tv channels
    And no Mr Logan to take us on internet walks...

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  4 месяца назад +1

      Ah yes, 3 TV channels..... and no remote control!

    The video of the episode of the"Old Country" TV series by Jack Hargreaves, mentioned in this video, can currently be viewed on the RUclips channel "Dave Knowles Filmmaker". Just whizz through to about 9 mins into that episode & you can see Jack visiting the White Sheet Hill Milestone. The link is ruclips.net/video/GmOhltFV5pc/видео.html

    Hi Dave, great walk once again. I know the Chalke Valley well and have sat on that bench on a many an occasion, taking in the views without a care in the world. Great to know you are also a fan of the late, great Jack Hargreaves.

    Hi Dave love ur videos here in Jamestown Va where the British arrived so long ago.Just wondering I see some many streams in your videos that are very clear was wondering are they actually clean enough to drink from. Know it’s a crazy question just wondering cause they do look like they are very clear

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you Ricky. Many of the chalk streams are indeed very clear and in general are fairly clean. Indeed there are still a number of working watercress beds on some of the streams (clear & clean water is vital for their growth). The filtering effect of the chalk makes their waters alkaline and very clear. While less than a fifth of England's rivers are considered to be healthy, the fast-flowing, naturally alkaline waters of the chalk streams are a rare source of clean water. 85% of the world’s chalk streams are in UK, lying in many of the southern counties of England. Although water from the chalk streams is generally safe, you should always follow good hygiene rules and be aware of possible water-borne infections - so I wouldn't drink from them myself!

    Hey Dave!
    Thanks for this great new video! It's always a little holiday following you and Logan.😌
    I don't know how many times I said to myself in this video: "Wow, I'd like to take a little break and try to capture the scenery.
    I'm already looking forward to the next video! 😊

    Beautiful countryside Dave, lovely walking area. Still a little croaky, I was always told that's due to drinking out of wet glasses. Any chance that's the cause? Hope you're fully recovered soon. Only ever visited the Talbot once, for lunch about 2 years ago, but I was only driving through, not walking.

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  4 месяца назад +1

      Yes, fully recovered now. Had it for nearly 3 weeks - so it has affected a view videos sadly!

    Thank You both!😊

    Great video Dave and such wonderful lush green countryside. You wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world than the English countryside in late Spring /early Summer ?

    Brilliant walk, as always. I am sure Logan appreciated the whippets on the tiles in that magnificent folly. Thank God that, unlike "Richard Bucket" on "Keeping Up Appearances", you did not have to climb trees to find Iron-Age remains. Thanks again and cheers.😊

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  4 месяца назад

      Thanks Yvonne. It is a fine Iron Age Hillfort there for sure!

  • @jeanblemings5352
    @jeanblemings5352 4 месяца назад +1

    That was a magnificent church at the start. The font was unusual with colouring on the stonework. And the flaming cross window you pointed out. Lots of antiquities along the way too and I loved the herepath. Some nice shady stretches too for you and Logan. Did you not fancy a paddle in the stream too at the end?!

    • @DaveFord
      @DaveFord  4 месяца назад +1

      I would have had no problem getting IN to the stream but it might have been a struggle getting OUT!

    So glad you are feeling better Dave. Just a lovely walk and gorgeous views. The village and church is so beautifully quaint and full of history. I love it. You are so lucky to get to see such beauty. Thank you so much for a wonderful walk. Take care Dave and give Logan a hug from me. ☀️

    Another splendid walk. The folly might have been of fairly recent construction but the tiles on the floor upstairs gave the appearance of being late medieval. I love quirky unexpected finds like that.
