Hi Dave, just want to say how much we love watching your walks, you and Logan are brilliant. Love the areas you explore, love how much information you provide and talking about the history of places. Keep well and hope to watch more walks from you and Logan over the Spring and Summer.
@@DaveFord good evening ‘ pray your well . Yes the high st is always closed off early morning on a Saturday for them to set up ! ( old school market) But of course all of the parking places are sucked up , meaning it can be a devil to park
From The Causway, Toll gate, north side of the river is Marsh Lane. My dad had his factory there, alongside Dicky Doe Scrap Yard. It’s all LPE along Marsh Lane now. Love Logan. We have had 6 whippets over our married life. Love them to bits. Also a rescued greyhound. Whippets loved our sandy beaches in Victoria and soon got tired out. Our whippets avoided water. Thanks for the great memories. Will watch your other videos.
Thank you Dave. We lived in Everton during the 60s. I never walked Buckland Rings as cycled, motor cycled, drove and bussed past too fast countless times.
13:37 Thank you. I went to school at Walhampton and crossed that bridge on my way to learning to sail at the Salterns Sailing Club. Still learning 65 years later...
Looks like you and Logan really enjoyed that walk. I was very surprised how few people there were around, especially in Lymington town in July. The place looked deserted! Both my wife and I thought that if we have to come back in another life we wouldn't mind coming back as your dog!
We did our filming in the town fairly early in the morning so we had the place to ourselves. Yes....sometimes I think that the life of a Whippet is a good one (especially all that time snoozing on the couch!).:)
Thank you. We were filming fairly early in the morning so we had the place to ourselves. It got a lot busier later especially as the weather was so good!
In the 1970s I lived in Southampton, eventually studying up at Winchester School of Art. The route you’ve taken was one that I made on several occasions, sketching, painting and taking photographs in those far off pre digital days.
@@DaveFord we are traveling from the midlands at the end of August to stay in the area for two weeks. We have not been to the new forest before. Watching your videos has been very helpful thank you. As retired photographers we also think you do a great job in your edits, keeping attention is key and we like your interjection if a still image to emphasise a point. We will be watching more.
@@beverley8282 Thank you. I am no expert when it comes to filming and indeed many of my early films, which were mainly in the New Forest, are a bit "rough around the edges" with regards to production & editing. I like to think that I have learnt a bit (through trial & error!) over the last 3.5 years and hopefully the more recent videos are little easier to watch.
Hi dave me and my wife love watching your videos and seeing your walks around this beautiful place. You and logan are brilliant. And it's lovely to hear you talking about the history I've had many fond memories of having fond memories of having wonderful holidays with my late mum and my dad in the new forest keep up the great work
Lovely scenery Dave. I’m over in East Sussex, near Lewes, so don’t get down to your lovely part of the world as much as I’d like to. I was fascinated by your walk with Richard Vobes on the New Forest bombing ranges, and was really impressed with the quality information you provided - especially the craters made by Tallboy and Grand Slam - that was news to me. I’ve long been fascinated by the development work carried out by Supermarine for the Schneider Trophy races down at Calshot. It was hectic and time was of the essence - Rolls Royce up in Derby would dispatch a race-prepared ‘R’ engine in the back of a small lorry and drive it down overnight; quite a feat in itself with the roads and vehicles available around 1930. Rolling up early next morning the engine would be fresh and ready to go. Which, by that time, the lorry drivers probably weren’t… Perhaps if you’re down that way you might investigate?
Thanks Lawrie. I have done a "New Forest Walk" at Calshot that you may find interesting : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uFcTCg59H24.html
..... and I live in Polegate!!! As I've said in a previous comment my Dad owned a caravan at Shorefield Country Park so we were lucky enough to get around here a lot....although we didn't get to the Fort bit!!!
Hello Dave, just watched your Lymington walk, I have never walked around Buckland Rings or down the left bank of the reed beds, but I do know the river above the shallows very well. Lovely walk. Thank you. PS I am not a doggy person but I am beginning to like Logan.
Thanks Peter. I am beginning to get to know the Lymington River very well now - I think I have met it at least 6 times on various walks in the series (indeed it appears again on my "Ivy Wood" walk next week)!
Hello Dave, We enjoy watching all your videos. I used to live in Lymington, so this video brought back many memories. I mentioned you to a cousin of mine who lives in San Diego in the U.S. and she said she thoroughly enjoys binge watching all of your walks! Keep up the good work.!
That's another walk I haven't done. I've driven past Buckland many times, but it's not easy to stop which is why I've never been in there. Also, I wasn't aware of the path alongside the river out to the causeway. It looked very neat and tidy, but in the past it's always looked a complete jungle of reeds and being tidal, it was not possible to actually see the river. You must have picked a good day. I've never seen a dog pick blackberries. Doesn't he prick his nose? Am I right in saying the river is tidal right up to Balmer Lawn in Brockenhurst?
Thanks Lionel. Logan is quite well practiced at eating blackberries without damaging himself! I am not sure about the tidal range of the Lymington River. I think it used to be tidal up to Boldre bridge at one stage?
