[Virtual Walk] Chester, Cheshire, England - Roman Walls, the Rows, River Dee & Chester Racecourse
Переглядів 6283 роки тому
Over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend, I headed down to Chester to enjoy the city. I decided to record a virtual walk that gives a taster of some of the most iconic parts of the city. From the racecourse, the Roman walls, the Rows in the shopping area and the hustle and bustle along the River Dee. Filmed on Monday 5th April 2021 You can read more about Chester over on my blog: Walk the Chester M...

[Virtual Walk] Styal Country park to Wilmslow, Cheshire, England

I thought it would be fun to give filming virtual walks a go - especially as I got a gimbal for my birthday (yesterday!) I'd love your input as to whether you would like more talking or less talking and what kind of length of video you would like, please. Oh and if there is anywhere you would like to see too. This is a walk from Quarry Bank Mill car park, through Styal Country Park to Wilmslow,...
Mini Vlog: Exploring Teufelsberg, Berlin, Germany
Переглядів 1035 років тому
Back in July we took a trip to Berlin and I seem to have fogotten all about the mini vlogs I made when there. So here is a mini video from our visit to Teufelsberg, Teufelsberg is a man-made hill in Berlin, Germany, in the Grunewald locality of former West Berlin. It rises about 80 metres above the surrounding Teltow plateau and 120.1 metres above the sea level, in the north of Berlin's Grunewa...
Mini Vlog: Day trip from Manchester to Newcastle
Переглядів 1765 років тому
Carrying on in our weekend day trip antics, we did a went for a day trip from Manchester to Newcastle by train to see what it is like in the North East. To get to know the area, we followed one of the Urban Rambles walks to learn about the history, architecture and bridges. Well worth doing a self-guided walk to get to know a new city.

A day out with Gilbert (my friend from BorrowMyDoggy)

Day trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park from Manchester
Переглядів 615 років тому
There’s nothing I love more than a nice countryside walk coupled with someday and sculpture (well, maybe cats!) Over the bank holiday weekend we took advantage of the nice weather and drove just under an hour up to Walkefield to enjoy the outdoor gallery that is Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Here is another of my micro vlogs to take you along with us for a wander in the hills and woods of the park....
Day out in Manchester with £70 to spend (collaboration)
Переглядів 625 років тому
Working on a collaboration with Hotels.com who gifted me the money to have a fun day out in Manchester. As a frugal girl, as you might have come to realise from my other videos and postscript it was quite the challenge to spend £70 on one day out. We managed it though and some unusual outcomes have come from it too, which I will share in the blog post or the longer video. Hint: we might do some...
Walking from Loggerheads to Moel Famau (Part 2 of Wales and Wirral Wanders Vlog!)
Переглядів 9995 років тому
Sometimes videos and vlogs just disappear into the ether of our computers and that is exactly what happened to part 2 of the Wales and Wirral Wanders Weekly Vlog from last year. (see it here: ua-cam.com/video/si32uP1OYCM/v-deo.html) Last year we had a bit of a staycation around the Wirral so explored North Wales. It is a good opportunity to hike some familiar hills and to enjoy showing them to ...
Urban Rambles: Liverpool
Переглядів 245 років тому
On a recent visit staying with my parents on the Wirral, we decided to be tourists in a city I know well. Having discovered Urban Rambles while chatting to the staff at Waterstones, we grabbed the Liverpool blog and off we went to discover the city. Here is a snippet of our day and the places we wandered to.
MICRO VLOG: Berlin urban wander and the Botanical Garden
Переглядів 665 років тому
We recently took a trip to Berlin for one of Jit’s conferences. Arriving in temperatures around 39C, it was sweltering and hard to get out for a wander (hence no videos from the first few days) However, once the temperatures dropped back to the mid 20s, I got out to explore. Here is another micro vlog of my wandering for you to check out where I found myself. For more from me: Email: hellourban...

When we got back from our last trip to London, we immediately planned our next! Today was the day and we actually made some plans this time. This meant that we finally got to visit the Old Operating Theatre, enjoyed a talk and tour at the Wellcome Collection and also got to wander. I concede that sometimes a tiny bit of planning goes a long way...but don’t expect that all the time! Not really m...

We totally underestimated the size of the zoo and ended up having to leave with plenty left to see on our next visit! There are plenty of fish 🐠, birds 🦅 and more! In a gorgeously landscaped park. It is very reasonably priced for a zoo too...and I recommend booking your tickets online. U...

      Oh wow, what a coincidence to discover that link. Yes, football as we know not was started in Newton Heath. It was a shame that United Manchester ended up having to move to Moston rather staying in the Heath. Definitely do visit one day, there is a lot of interesting history there.

    Hi Sarah, great video! Just a quick question; do you really need to use two caps (2 x 50ml) full per wash? It does seem overkill to me, as it's 1/3 of a 300ml bottle per use! I have used Grangers in the past, which has been 1 cap full (1 x 25ml) for 1 garment.

    • @SarahIrvingCoachManchester
      @SarahIrvingCoachManchester 2 роки тому

      Hi Aku, Thank you and thanks for your message. In my video, I am washing two garments (the two Rab coats) so needed the two caps for the wash. I like to proof more than one item when I am doing a machine reproof as it saves water (I can also chuck in any waterproof socks/gloves/gaiters etc that need a top-up as well) I've not used Grangers proofer for a long time, so I can't comment on those - unless it's for reproofing tents! I think that while it might seem like a lot of product is used, the proofing does last a long time (I tend to only need to re-proof my coat which gets worn/scrumpled into my rucksack etc every day of the year) :) Hope that answers your question in a roundabout way! :)

    @markgeddes4411 3 роки тому

    hi there, seen your video a few times over just now and I’m a little confused on the washer settings as your washer has different modes than ours, would it be ok just to set it at Daily Wash For Clean at 40o 800 Spin and change it to 30o 800 Spin for the Waterproofing , on the label of the jacket there’s nothing. Thanks

    • @SarahIrvingTheUrbanWanderer
      @SarahIrvingTheUrbanWanderer 3 роки тому

      Hi Mark, Yes, washing machines do make it more complicated with all the various settings. I would personally be inclined to go for the 30C wash as waterproof clothing has synthetic fibres which don't fare well with higher temperatures. I would also stick to the 30C for both the wash and the proofing. I also recommend contacting the maker of your jacket to see whether they can offer any advice - seeing as there is no additional information on the label itself. Good luck! (DISCLAIMER: I am no expert, I have only used my machine on the settings in the video or on Outdoor Clothing setting on my new Samsung Washer Dryer)

    Hi Sarah, thanks for the great video! Have you tried RX Direct Wash-In for softshell clothing as well? I know there's another product specifically for softshell but I have one hardshell and one softshell jackets in total and buying two separate products is a little pricey 🙄

    • @SarahIrvingTheUrbanWanderer
      @SarahIrvingTheUrbanWanderer 3 роки тому

      Hi Zey! Sorry for the delay in replying, my notifications went AWOL! I’ve not tried the Direct Wash on soft shell (yet!) so I can’t say whether it would work or not. Maybe you can see whether any of your outdoor set friends also have hard and soft shell gear so you can go halves on the product and wash/reproof together to also save water! (If I do try it, I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes)
