Nunwell Trail | Isle of Wight Walks | Cool Dudes Walking Club 

This has been top tier lockdown viewing.

Hi Marek 👍😊 Great video, cheers. Nice little Easter present for us all.😁👍 Favourite walking item, is a good quality, lightweight waterproof jacket. One you can scrunch up into a ball & shove in the backpack. Favourite seasonal film is 'National Lampoons Christmas Vacation'. You're 100% right about school. 5 years of misery for me too. When you're 13, 5 years seems like forever. Now I'm 50, 5 years goes in the blink of an eye ! 😁 You're so lucky to live on the Isle of Wight. We live near the centre of England. The coast is 3 hours in any direction. 🥴 Keep up with the great videos mate. 👍 Matt.

That's where he kept his Mars bars possibly 🤔🤣 gawd.. so many memories 💚 Thank you for all these wonderful videos, Marek. I love watching them.

If you ever find a golf ball simply go to the golf club and throw the ball over the fence onto a green, karma will decide if the irate golfer gets his ball back. Entertaining as always Marek.

Very enjoyable.. Keep it up "NIPPER"

Thanks

Man, we were talking about picnic spots today and said exactly the same, that there’d be a better spot just round the next corner....loving the picnic....👍😎 My best bit of walking gear are my shades of which I have several pairs....not only are they cool but they serve as protectors from pokey out tree branches..I have my expensive ray bans for town and urban walking and the cheap ones which I wear when in woods or old buildings

Chicken poppers, don't taste of chicken or have the effect of poppers 😂😂😂😂 brill walk! Need to get Joel to watch this as he's HATING school too at the mo, massively. Keep trying to tell him the same thing. 👍👍👍

I’m stuck in Norway for a few months again but bk home to the IOW in a week and cannot wait! Your videos are brilliant! A true entertainer!

Oh my God, I've had to pause the video halfway because you've just given me a BRILLIANT idea re: buried treasure. I'm going to invent metal-detecting walking shoes. They'll beep every time you walk over something very old and valuable (yeah, they'll also beep every time you walk over ring pulls and bottle caps - I'm working on it).

A fine walk, I hate walking through farms, they always make me me think I'm going to be shot. My favourite bit of walking equipment is my flask. Perfect for a nice cup of tea.

Love a good rat captured on camera!! We caught one last year! Maybe now it's made it to the I.O.W. How he get across the water....ski boat 🤯

Yes I thought was going to get killed on that road ! Hi viz beanie saved me lol

Whenever I was lucky enough to sit at the front of the bus on the top deck as a 13yr old, I would often hold the metal bar in front of the window and pretend I was hang gliding down the road.....on the rare occasion I use buses now, part of me still wants to do this and I am 48.

I went to Sandown High and I loved every second. I was a sad child. Excellent walk, cool dude. Nice to have a bit of freedom again.

Spooky farmyards are quite common around my area, I always try to get past them sharpish. Shame to see that the island also has bellends in fast cars. My favourite walking item has to be my Trangia meths stove for making a fresh brew. Getting the train driver to toot his horn was a nice touch. Congrats to the winner. Stay cool dude.

I saw an adder on a walk near Knighton...my dad didn't believe me and said there's no adders on the IOW. and yes even in the 70's we had the big cat stories. I'm a caulkhead now in Australia. Went to school at Arreton primary , and ABK :) before it was demolished

Great video as always. I love an end to end walk mostly because I like getting somewhere and not walking in circles ⭕ Best piece of equipment ... has to be my Scarpa walking boots . I have a tick remover that I take out with my every walk . Never used it . I'm sure if I ever get a tick it will be my favourite bit of equipment.

fantastic : )

One of the best bit of kit I own is a wind jacket from decathlon. Its a trail running one but it's perfect for hiking as it weight pretty much nothing and you can crunch it down so small and store it away easily. Another top vid! Member42

My favorite walking equipment is my legs.

Thumbstick that I cut for myself. Essential on any walk, long or short and beats walking poles anyday.

You were very kind on Ryde St Johns, Marek. Let's just say I've encountered the human form of 'Easter eggs' (or logs!) down there before! Great episode - even funnier than normal - if that's possible!

the Easter Bunny hands out rabbit eggs, that was an enjoyable video of a not very nice walk, was fun still

A nice surprise to find a new walk from Cool Dude Number 1! Not the most scenic but the descriptions of your lunch more than made up for it! Seasonal films - Planes, Trains and Automobiles in December; Enchanted April on miserable February/March days.

My best bit of gear for walking is a small plastic bottle of Tropicana that I bought during lockdown 1 and has lasted over a year now , the plastic bottle I mean, not the Tropicana juice, that went in seconds. I usually fill it with orange squash n water and it fits well into most pockets.

That dramatic reconstruction was ::chef's kiss::

seasonal film: watching Jaws sometime during 4th of July festivities. not really a day I celebrate but one of the best films of all time. also, when she was a kid my American girlfriend (a Cool Dude herself) screamed in the cinema when the head rolled out. perhaps some other of you Cool Dudes have inadvertently screamed in an otherwise silent cinema?

Anyone else waiting for sunglasses Marek when Marek said he had creamed himself

You did well to scare off that mutant rat. I think you would've been fine against the adder - I don't like them either. When I walked The Ridgeway in 2018, I was nearing the end of a very long day when I decided to rest on this fallen tree. Sometime later, I got up and noticed a proper bench only 5 metres away, just beyond the branches! :-)

I bet that golfer was livid 😂⛳️ I’m signing myself and my fiancé up to The Cool Dudes Walking Club today. We are walking the South Downs Way on July 9th which would of been our wedding day had it not of been for COVID 😐 I’ve had a right result 😉 Great video again 👍🏼

Watership Down is my favourite Easter film along with Harvey (1950).

Legend! Can't wait for this! Thank you!

Watching this while on a walk with the dog. Spotted what I think is a pill box off to investigate. Already seen 3 poo bags in bushes

What a splendid walk! I really must head over to the Isle of Wight for a walking holiday one day. My walking essential would be some form of hand wipes/cleanser. I always end up putting my hand in something yukky. It's so nice to be able to clean your hands before eating a packet of Space Raiders.

amazing content

Can't beat a fanny pack dude especially on a long distance trek nice point tally 👍 atb daz

Great walk as always Marek, That road look horrible mate, i went for a walk that had a road like that once and also thought i was going to die at any point, never walked down that road ever again, lol. In regards to the Full Camo people - i know quite a few people who like buying surplus military clothes due too it being really good out door wear, after all it was designed for the military, loads of pockets, usually hard wearing, warm and cheap etc. That farm did look like a murder had happened there, crash scene and everything, lol.

Holy moly dude that rat gave me the willies 😱

Rewatching Jan ‘24

That was interesting.👍 I'm sitting here, frozen. The thought of going outside is far from my mind so watching you I feel like I've had my walk for the day. Thank you and a Happy Easter 🐣🐇

My school (st Wilfrid's, Blackburn) has been demolished. Me & my mates went to look & we couldn't believe how small the cleared site actually was! Only two urinals left standing! A very cathartic experience👍 seasonal film, I love the 1939 Jamaica Inn at Christmas. The bit where the actor's handcuffs are too loose as he's supposedly a young lad, despite looking 35+🤣!! Stay cool!

My favourite item are my new purple walking poles as per one of your previous videos. 😀 cheers marek.

Loved the little upper deck bus eyed view at the start (made me a little nostalgic for my rover ticket days!). Can't say I have bad memories of Sandown High, but I was only there for 3 years so maybe it's the extra two that make it really bad... plus the school I had been at previously had ceilings that often fell down on pupils, not enough hocky sticks for a team so you had to use your feet or legs when in goal, and we had to do PE in Los Altos park as there wasn't even a playing field, and windows were nailed shut so it was awful in the summer and no heaters so it was awful in the winter... I guess Sandown High had an incredibly low bar to meet as any school had to be an improvement on that!? My seasonal movie choices are Jesus Christ Superstar (either the 2000 version, or newer arena tour with Minchin as Judas) and that classic film about an invisible rabbit- Harvey with the wonderful James Stewart.

Great video as always totally

Nice one Marek. These vids always make me feel good 👍 Thank you 😊

It’s not very exciting but I got a pair of Dunlop wellies in Aberystwyth for 10£. I use them tons & so glad I managed to cram them into my suitcase.

My favorite walking gear is usually a can full of beer. Keeps you hydrated and looks quite iconic in eventual pictures taken with it in the nature.

Happy Easter & great video! It was good to see the easter bunny had left loads of homemade easter gifts for children outside houses early this morning when I was out. Wet wipes are always very handy on walks especially when eating Chocolate Brownies! Stay cool, Cool Dude (as the sunny weather is hopefully here to stay!) 🙂

First cool dude

Hi Marek, Loved the club badge and sub goodies. Looking forward to using the map you sent to plan my future walks.

ah I nearly forgot... Mallrats is a great easter movie. And all leather Magnum boots are the best boots you could ever get. leather limousines they are and waterproof of course. Check them out.

Yay, drivers seat top deck. Best seat on the bus. No messing.

great vid once again marek, love from cool dude 388

great walk, just been out with family on the first spotters handbook-guided walk. have a good one

Camouflage man must have been looking at wildlife or something. But yes, the white bag is a questionable choice. Not a ton of birds other than the one at 3.22 but LOTS of lovely birdsong!

Can you download .gpx from Outdoor Active? If so, you can download the route and upload it to your watch and just follow the line on your watch instead of using your phone! My fave bit of kit is a Platypus 2L bladder. Useful for spare water and folds up to nothing when empty. Fave seasonal film is National Lampoon's Vacation! Keep up the good work.

Yay my daughter won the prize, fame and recognition at last!!!! 👍👍. Great video again, looking forward to playing Poo Man with Alisan 💩💩

magic thumb powers

The first time it’s not your dad dropping you off. Green bus adventure it is.

They try their best, Marek!

Marek - make the spotter's handbook an app

My essential gear would have to be my Foxelli trekking poles. They weigh hardly anything but are strong and comfortable.

Worked at that golf club kids from the school were always nicking golf balls and mooning the lady members 😂 Didn't like that school much either.

125 miles at 2mph = 62.5 hours.

Hi, are you not going to comment on the fact that the top of the leaderboard is people who have walked over 1000 miles so far this year. That's a lot of walking.

I use Komoot for my hiking navigation. I've not tried the navigation part of outdoor active. How do you find it? Have a great Easter.

I was going to ask this on one of my own live streams but seeing as it came up on here : Why do people hang dog mess bags on trees? if they are that lazy why not just chuck it in the bottom of a bush, at least everyone wouldn't have to look at it then, what a disgusting sight, why hang it up for others to see? - Can any one answer me?

Looks like you were at the front of the top deck of that bus, I hope you pretended you were driving.

Hey Marek, did you complete the challenge of 125 miles? Do you know where you are on the leader board?

It would be nice to have some way of knowing the best spots for having a discreet wee, with tree cover and nettle rating. That way we'd no longer have to worry about inadvertently exposing ourselves to passers-by (horrific because then we are the perpetrators of public nudity possibly in sight of children), and only have to worry about the perverts that would undoubtedly accumulate (fine, because we are then the blameless victims and also possibly heroes for keeping the perverts away from aforementioned children).

by any chance are you in the tv series the 'first team'?

If its any consolation, most golfers are old as balls, that golfer is probably dead by now. So don't feel too bad.

Top video buddy, I’ve given your channel a couple of shout outs on mine. You could do with starting a Teespring store then you could sell T-shirts with your logo on 👍 I’d buy one

Did you know that Marek's disease is something chickens can get ? Don't open a chicken farm, stick to the crisps. I find a respirator can be useful on walks.

Do you think you will get through all the walks on the isle before the pandemic is over?

camouflage white handbag man, sounds intriguing but definitely not a cool dude.
