Shame we have lost so many of the old lines, would be
More useful today 🥴. Great video
It really is a shame that so many old lines have disappeared. The government could really do with expanding the railway network. I think it was a mistake going ahead with HS2; the money going to that should really have been spent on building/re-instating/upgrading branch lines etc.
Nice tour, thank you, Dave.
My pleasure Pam, glad you enjoyed 😊
Really good explore and walk, with great information too. Thank you for sharing and highlighting the Westcountry too.
Glad you liked the video 😊 We started our channels pretty much the same time; my 1st vid was round about end of Jan 2021. I'll check some of your vids out
@@westcountryexplorer Yes, I think we did! I think it may have been a lockdown thing! Mine was in early February of 2021, when I was living in South Devon. I live in Gloucestershire now, but, like you, I try and cover as much of the wider Westcountry that I can. I do walks, history, canals, railways, coast, beaches, etc.
@@westcountrywanderings I grew up in South Gloucestershire, then spent a fair few years on the Devon Dorset boarder. I was living in West Sussex when I started my channel.
I should add - it's a brilliant video Dave. The light railway looks interesting - definitely good idea for an outing at Easter or early summer. 😊👍🚂
Thank you 😊 I'm definitely going to have a ride on the GLR at some point this year 👍
Another great walk and location Dave
Thank you 😊
A great walk video - Totally enjoyable 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it :)
excellent walk Dave, well done, cya very soon.
Looking forward to meeting up next week :)
Thank you for this :)
My pleasure :)
wonderful thank you
My pleasure. I've been thinking of doing this walk for a while now; I enjoyed doing it.
I wish they could reinstate these old railway lines instead of building brand new ones. Apologies if I've said this before. 🙄 Would be brilliant to catch a train from Bournemouth to Bath without faffing about changing trains and lines.
I agree wholeheartedly. It was very shortsighted to close down all those beanch lines.
😂Enjoyed your video where actual Trains went very interesting
Although was quite disturbed about the distressed bird in the cage, it got excited to see you jumping around but settled down when u walked by I couldn't stop thinking about it 😢
You should have let it free
Sorry to say the dear Lord took you that way to free him it wouldn't hurt you promise, set it free please😢
I did go back and set the bird free; I couldn't let it stay trapped in there.
It was very interesting, walking along where trains used to run
@Westcountry Explorer pray it's HappyGod Bless you as I couldn't sleep seeing that I work with horses never keep them in stalls except bad weather
THANK YOU 😊 🙏 😊
BLESSINGS TO U
Blessings for more videos Love the countryside I am from Beaminster Dorset
Did enjoy the video cheers mate
@@jacqueline7986 I lived in Beaminster for about 3 years till 2017 & worked at the Half Moon in Melplash for a while. That's an absolutely beautiful lovely part of the county.
@Westcountry Explorer Yes Definitely it is you should have stayed remember the Melplash Fetes absolutely delightful Do enjoy your evening 😀 Happy exploring
@Jacqueline I do miss living there a hell of a lot. The only reason I moved away was because, when Aimee & I got together, it made more sense for me to move to Wothing than her move to Beaminster. At least now I'm back in Dorset 😁
Having a nice evening chilling out watching new series of 'Grace' on TV. You have a good evening too
Question: What society do we live in when we leave a distressed animal trapped? My conscience, Christian or otherwise would not have allowed me to witness this and walk on by. No wild bird deserves to be trapped in its own environment. WE, MAN, HUMANITY are raping the countryside for development, destroying many natural habits of animals and birds, removing them from their homes. Not only would I have released the bird, I'd have jumped on the cage. Being human means exhibiting compassion towards others.
On my way back I did stop and manage to release it. Does that make up for the fact I initially walked by? Not really. I do sometimes have a 'Don't get involved' attitude; that's an attitude I need to keep challenging. It's not a good attitude.
In answer to your question; it's not a brilliant society that leaves distressed animals trapped. Humanity can be (And is being.) cruel and insensitive to nature in many ways.
@@westcountryexplorer Thank you on behalf of that needlessly trapped bird that deserves its freedom in its own environment, like we all do. It's a basic need, like food, heat and light. Much gratitude for 'getting involved, saving a life and stopping torture.
