FROM DARTMOOR to a DEAD END
*Scroll down for time stamps*
Many moons ago Mister Dave made a comment on one of my videos saying “what we need is a gateway with a ???”. I have wanted to make that wish come true ever since.
So aboard The Witch my Royal Enfield Himalayan I leave a wintry Dartmoor behind me and make my way to Brixton near Plymouth, encountering an unusual bike and some city traffic along the way. I found this particular gateway when I was working in the area and after studying a map I could see the road comes very close to an estuary. I thought I would ride down as close to it as I could but sadly there was no way through. But the main objective I am pleased to say was complete. I’m delighted to be able to share this very special gateway with you, and to have finally fulfilled Mister Dave’s wish was overwhelming.
0:00 A gateway with a what?
0:15 Intro and crossing Dartmoor
2:01 Two wheeled tuk tuk?
2:28 Plymouth
2:40 Brixton
4:20 Dead end
5:00 Not only a gateway with a view
Thank you for watching

Well, that was different! I smiled when Dave came bimbling across the screen early on..... I spat my coffee when he came back again at the end!! 🤣🤣 The bridge at the beginning? Gateways x2 ..... 😛

That was very lovely and Mr. Dave looked like he enjoyed it 😂 The first was a Gateway with a bridge but not much rhymes with that. A gateway with a fridge, a gateway with a midge, a gateway with a ridge or a gateway with a pidge ( wot I call pidgeons). Well done Mr. Dave for thinking of pew.😊 Dartmoor is much priddy in the snow 🏔🗻☃️

Oh, you are so guilty!!! This one was so beautiful I had to watch the Gateway With A Brook and of course the outro, twice. I'm huddled in a motel in southern Texas for a few weeks while the cold temperatures roll over me and then next year I'll head north as the thermometer rises. In the meantime, I might get to watch a couple of SpaceX Starship launches. Thanks for sharing some more stunningly beautiful countryside.

Hi Jeff you were in my part of the world, The river estuary was The River Yealm of which the mouth is very near to Wembury Beach. The old Quarry was Steer Point Brickworks Factory which was in production up to sometime in the naughties. My friend work there for 26 years in the quarry extracting stone and also worked in the factory as well for a time up until its close. They made millions of bricks in the day.

@Saddlebags73 7 месяцев назад

Hi Peter 👋🏼 Ah so not the Erm. Perhaps she was just saying “urm” 🤔🤣 Thanks for the extra info. I remember it had a strange feel to the place. Must have been bustling in its working days. Cheers Jeff

@peterhutchison502 7 месяцев назад

It was in its day I think Jeff. It does have a strange feel buddy I know where your coming from. The river Erme runs through Ivybridge and its mouth is at Mothecombe, another beautiful place to visit.

A gateway with a pew ? I can’t even find a gateway, never mind a gateway with something ! Honestly, every ride I am looking for a gateway worth the name but so far, not a chance ! A rope or a chain across is as good as it gets around here, apparently 🤷‍♂️ You wouldn’t earn much as a gate salesman around here. The quest continues.

@greywolf9292 7 месяцев назад

The gateway picture at the begging I thought had to be a gateway with a bridge, upon further reflection I thought twin gateways with some fish 😂 returning an area to nature is re-wilding. It's a pity you couldn't get down to the estuary but here in my part of the world the most of the road would be Private. A gateway with a Pew indeed, splendid place to sit and reflect. As for the scooter with a roof, it looked like a two wheeler pram 🤔😮🙄

@Saddlebags73 7 месяцев назад

Hmm I needed something to rhyme with ‘view’ but drew a blank Ken Brooks said “a gateway x2”, the clever bugger. Re-wilding! Of course 🤦🏻‍♂️ I can’t tell you how often words just vanish when I’m half way through a sentence. Couldn’t make the estuary but the pew was very pleasant. Many thanks Mr Wolf.
