  • We are beginning the Cotswold Way. It's through one of the most beautiful parts of England. We are leaving Chipping Campden to walk to the village of Stanton. Come with us to see what walking 164km or 103mi from village to village through this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is really like. The walk was organised for us by Macs Adventure.
    We are walking in July.

      Yes it's fun to do as we walk. Only get a few as time can be a problem at the speed we walk 🙂.

    The answer to your question about the black topped structure next to the style is, yes, it is to allow dogs through. Lovely film.

    I've really enjoyed watching your walk. You've done such a good job in filming and commentary. I've got the Trailblazer Guide (as I've booked the walk for next year) and I can follow where you are on all the maps, which is a testament to how well you produced your series. And the inclusion of the places you stayed and visited for lunch/dinner etc is really helpful, and gives a greater appreciation of what the area has to offer. It's a shame you hurt your back, Rick. I hope it hasn't had any lasting effects. Well done on your achievement and this video series... it's not a simple thing to get right. 👍👍

    Seeing all of that grain makes me want to do the "Gladiator Thing" (running hand over the top of the grain). :P
    Cool looking butterflies.

    Very enjoyable. Nicely filmed and narrated too. At 1033 I saw a Marmalade Hoverfly which like other hoverflies are important pollinators alongside bees. You also saw a good range of butterflies which was nice to see. Thank you.

      Thanks glad you liked it. Before this walk we completed a 3 day walk called the Milford Track in the South Island of New Zealand. We use a GoPro for the walk along footage fitted with a Rode GO II radio microphone system and a Panasonic Lumix with a zoom lens for closeups of animals.

    49:26 : New gate. I remember that part of the CW very well as I stumbled upon a dead hiker at the bend on the track 11 years ago.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  4 месяца назад

      That must have been a terrible shock. Do you know what had happened?

    • @michaelportaloo1981
      @michaelportaloo1981 4 месяца назад

      He either slipped on the muddy path or had a heart attack/stroke. Either way he fell flat on his face. American guy on his own doing the CW north to south, possibly the same package you used, or similar. He’d been looking at the guide book before he fell, it appeared.

    • @michaelportaloo1981
      @michaelportaloo1981 4 месяца назад

      I think I’d already passed him in the opposite direction and said ‘hello’ to him that morning. I was walking both directions as I had parked at the Tower.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  4 месяца назад

      Very sad. You just don't know when you time is up.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  4 месяца назад

      We carry a locator beacon in case we are in trouble but sounds like that wouldn't have helped him.

      We had a major problem along the way as you will see in an upcoming episode. We are returning to the Cotswalds in 6 weeks time to complete the walk. We are sure you will have a great time next year. Best of luck with your walk.

    Always walk on the other side of the road facing traffic rather than back to the traffic.

    • @GeoRick
      @GeoRick  8 месяцев назад

      Yes that's the best on country roads.
