@blue2isle 2 года назад

The camping spot is really mysterious. Cant think of any natural reason someone would leave the combination of all these things behind. I mean, a tent could start leaking and turn into crap and someone with no moral couldnt care less, but shoes, purse, clothes, wallet, sleeping bags++.. even if a couple started a bad fight it doesnt make sence. Got a bad feeling on this one. Did you ask the farmer if he knew anything next time you saw him? Maybe they left the tent and didnt make it back.

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire 2 года назад

Hi mate, it is a little bit bizarre and a bit eerie, probably not the best of outcomes for whoever was dwelling there. Although knowing the UK, whoever it was probably lives in a rent free 4 bedroom council house now

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire 2 года назад

Hi mate, well I'm very much a lkne detectorist, I would love the luxury of a camera man. The trick with that clip is called a 'pan & zoom' in my editing software. So I zoom in on the screen then simply pan from one side to the other. You lose a bit of picture quality in doing so but its worth it 😁 I like to bring out the apex now n then when the flippin XP coils batteries are dead

@TheDukesOfDerbyshire 7 месяцев назад

Hi there, thanks very much for watching this video and for dropping me a comment. If I'm totally honest, I was not a fan of the Apex at all, the tones are really horrible and sound like a 1970's computer. But apart from that it seemed OK. I guess it is what you get used to though and I am used to the sweet floaty tones of the XP machines now. But you can't go wrong with an Apex if you can get on with the sounds it makes. Cheers, Gareth
