The Medusa Project Thetford just looks at ways of getting around Thetford on wheels.
Originally, I said:
The Thetford Ring Road of Death was the group name I used (it is intended to be a humorous moniker) for all the horrendous A roads that encircle Thetford. The A11, A134, A1066 and A1075. Together they form the shape of a medusa. The Medusa Project explores any possible routes from Thetford into the forest, or anywhere else for that matter, that are possible on a mobility scooter. We will also look at getting around the town on boot scooters, pavement scooters and powered chairs.
Now, we've done that and we are expanding the idea. Have a look at the videos.
issuu.com/bubblyhub/docs/reflections_of_thetford_issue_5 Glad you like it. If you follow the link above to the Reflections of Thetford magazine, you can see I have written an article about it and also a story about the cemetery too.
It amused me when i heard the guy on the german food stall talk with a thick london accent. I agree with you that St Cuthberts church bells sound awful.
Hi Deejay, I didn't speak to the man, so I missed that bit! Did you buy any pomme frite? The bells were deafening, but I do believe it was a wedding, so that's something to shout about. Cheers, Bob
Hi Liam, I am glad you liked it. I hope you’re ok, I haven't seen you about lately. Me and Adrian are going to Dereham Town FC on Saturday to see Keith. We hope to film that too. Cheers, Bob
That was great Bob! Thanks for the extra effort.The chapel and cemetery are very well looked after.I’m looking forward to your next upload.by the by I follow you on both my channels.
Hi KG, Thank you. I'm glad you suggested visiting the cemetery. I had been going past it for years and never thought to visit. It's now one of my favourite shortcuts. Cheers, Bob
Hi KG, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just so you know, I have done some filming around the London Road Cemetery, and I hope to release it next week all being well. Also, there is a new what's on in Thetford website that has an associated magazine called Reflections of Thetford. I have written articles about mobility scootering for them in the last 2 issues. My third editorial will be published on the 1st of Aug. You can have a read here. thetfordbubblyhub.com/ It's free, and I think it's a good read (not just my waffling articles). They print a limited number of hard copies, but it is mostly read online. Cheers, Bob
Hi KG (I still don't know if you're a gentleman or a lady?), Many thanks for praising my videos. It's nice to know that some people enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them. Cheers, Bob
Hi KG, Do you mean the war graves at Thetford cemetery in London road? If that is where you mean, I will see what I can do. I go past the entrance quite often, but I have never thought to explore it.
Hi Deejay, I was about outside sainsbury on Friday when I filmed the trip to Elveden but I was shopping there on Monday. At about midday ish on both occasions. If ever you see me please come and say 'hello'.
That was interesting.You did this trip on my 66th birthday.I spent that day out on my scooter Nordy and just managed to get home on the last bit of battery!
Hi, Happy birthday 🎂. I am glad you like my commentary - I think I waffle too much. What sort of scooter is Nordy, and where did you go and how far? Sorry for the interrogation!
@@TheMedusaProjectThetford thanks! No you don’t waffle,it’s interesting hearing about what you are seeing.Mines called a Nordic Luxury Cruiser.It’s really a brand and not the manufacturer.It’s got a 800w motor and goes over most terrain.I retired to New Zealand to be closer too my daughter.Formerly I lived and worked all around the UK.I’ve had strokes amongst other things so being mobile gives me freedom to roam.I also have a Pride 140xl as a backup.Thanks again Bob 👍
Hi (I'm sorry, I don't know your name), I had no idea you were in New Zealand - which island? I am jealous. I spent a wonderful year in 1980 (when I was 25) working and travelling all over the North Island. I never made it to the South Island because I was having too much fun.
@@TheMedusaProjectThetford hi Bob,I’ve always been known by my initials,KG.I live on the West Coast North Island.Yes,NZ is a nice place to live,clean air and nice people.I miss the UK and my pals,yet I’ve done the best thing coming here.Keep up the work with you positive videos 👍I’m about to watch another
Thank you very much for your kind words. Please share the channel with your friends, and let me know if there is anywhere around Thetford you would like me to film in any future videos. Kind regards, Bob.
Hi Fred, Unfortunately, Peter's a bit poorly at the moment, but we hope to be able to expand Peter's adventures soon with some better camera angles and views. The one you kindly commented on was our first test. I'm Bob, and I normally try and follow him on my mobility scooter. So I may be able to get some other camera shots.
when i was a child there used to be a crossing at the station. theres something about your channels thats quite an enjoyable watch. I wouldn't recommend people on Boot scooters (love that term btw) go the other way even though it is quite a bit shorter as station lane is very rough and muddy.
Hi DeeJay, Not sure of your name? I'm Bob Blogg. Thank you for your kind comments. It's nice to have some feedback - but it is rare as you probably know. I had a quick look at your channel and I thought it has got some good films of Thetford. I hope you are still getting about and filming the odd event. I subscribed in anticipation. I'm just having great fun running around and filming everything I can. I don't know if you have seen the Reflections of Thetford magazine (It's like an on-line 'About Thetford' mag and published by the bubblyhub) but there is an article in issue 2 (p75) about what I am trying to do. issuu.com/bubblyhub/docs/reflections_issue_02 Please have a quick read and let me know if you have any suggestions about what I am doing. My contact details are in the article. Meanwhile, if ever you see me about in town on a mobility scooter, please say hello. Cheers, Bob
Fir road is a bit of a confusing road, it starts off at Fir road continues up to the phone box (3:24) and then becomes Elm road which then links back to that junction you saw and then some bright spark decided add on 5 houses at that start of it ( yellowy houses at 4:35) and call them Fir walk.
Hi DeeJay, I was just reviewing my comments and realised I hadn't replied to this. Thank you very much for the details. It's a part of town that I hardly know on the road names are very confusing. Your comment will help clarify my confused ramblings. Cheers, Bob
Hi Liam, Thanks for your positive words. I'm not used to getting comments so I only just spotted this as I was up loading another video. Maybe we can catch up soon after the next bubbly hub mag is published. Pop into the Albion on a Saturday if ever you can. Cheers, Bob
This is my first video and, like its name “the Thetford Ring Road of Death - Introduction”, it's a bit overlong - very overlong. (I'm still learning). But I hope it explains the idea.
