Another excellent episode. Thanks for leading us to a deeper appreciation and understanding of this ancient and enigmatic trail. You have an uncanny skill at finding the best wild camping spots by the way - born of great experience methinks 👍 (**£20** Good luck with wedding plans)
You deserve so many more views and subscribers. I have no doubt you’ll get there. Mass exposure on RU-vid takes time. I’ve got no doubt your channel will just blow up one day. Your content is great. Especially when it comes to story telling, genuinely one of the most charismatic story tellers on RU-vid that I’ve come across
Congratulations on your walk. Epic adventure and thanks for showing the way with all the historical background. Tamsin a fantastic trooper to lug that pack on her back keeping up with you - top effort. Those stones speak volumes about ancient star and earth geometry - geomancy. Sitting around with other travellers strumming away on the home made guitar in these locations transports you into those geomantic cultural festivities. Wonderful experience.
Thank you for shering your and Tamisis journey on the Ridgeway this summer. I enjoy listening to the stories on the places you are passing. 7 Years ago my husband and I wisted our daugther whom was studying to her bachelor degree in England. We made a road trip to Bath, and on the way back to Oxford we saw thrr White Horse, so nice seeing it again.
I only found your channel maybe a month or so ago, I subscribed 5 mins into the first watching. I watched the Yew tree one the other day... and left a comment about when I was born and something my mother mentioned and how I think you answered a confusion and created many, many questions. I was born in 1965, November so winter time and my mother told me how my "mad/crazy" grandfather (her father and a gypsy/traveller) took me and her on a journey were he laid me under various trees and bushes at mere days old, and recited things in Romany. She said it was just his madness. I only found out about this when she pointed out a Yew tree in a local graveyard and said that was the last tree your grandfather did his stupid ritual on you, it was freezing cold and snowing, but he handed you back sleeping warm and dry. I think he took me through the alphabet of trees. He insisted, "This one can never be christened or given to any god." I'm the only member of my family who never received a religious "christening" and remain so to this day. I didn't know this until my 30s and it was only after listening to your journey through the trees I started to maybe, understand what he did, my connection to the earth has always been strong, my awareness and sensitivity to the dirt beneath my fingers has always been strong, visceral even. In life I have been the complete opposite I feel.to you, I was military, I served in Bosnia, Kuwait and Iraq were I was severely injured, spending over 10 years on fentanyl in bed....I'm free of that "evil spirit" now and am finding my draw to the land, the trees etc getting stronger... Maybe, if you know, could you explain the reason behind my grandfather's actions in taking me to many different trees and shrubs at mere days old and insisting I should never be christened... Or was he, as my mother claimed, just a mad old Gypsy?
Wow. Yeah like I said over by the yew tree, that sounds like quite the blessing you were given. I’m sorry about your ten years in the underworld, fentanyl is truly evil stuff. You have emerged now, and the trees will heal and guide you, they always have me. Go well on your path my friend and thank you for your service 🌳✨🙏
Really enjoying this journey with you along the Ridgeway. Do you mind me asking where you got the Hedgerow Port from? I've tried searching online with no success and it seems like my kind of drink!
Man you make me want to come check that place out. I love being outdoors and camping like that, hunting, fishing all that stuff. But I don't know of any cool places w that kind of history,and accessible to people like your journey across the ridgeway. Only thing around these parts would probably be some sacred Indian burial grounds. Super spooky stuff happens around those, but most times it's on private property and people can't go visit any places as awesome as that. 😢 I hope some day I will get to come visit the smithy. I would love the experience. Wow! What beautiful country and sunset too. 👍 It was totally the little people messing w you camping in their woods! 😊 Until next time friend.
Ahhh, I’ve always wanted to do this in North America. Yes, greater distances to walk, and less concentration of historic stuff like you say, but I’m sure it’s still there in the Native American dreaming, like you say. And greater wildness. Yeah, just less public access that would be the problem. Plus I don’t know what to forage over there 😂
A friend of mine wrote a book about that Ley Line and was in a band called the Fluid Druids..odd. We are very much dowsing tools ourselves, picking up on history and energy as you did in that otherwise unassuming copse, adding a pendulum or dragon rods to the equation is like fitting a nib on a pen. I have understood that I am energy sensitive for a while and have used dragon rods as a person would a compass,but now I understand that dowsing tools can be used to answer questions- may be something you pack next time. The original concept for your channel works so well and these pilgrimage vids make for a lovely extra treat- they remind me of my adventures past. That little dog was a right prick by the way.
