Retired for two years, my wife suggested that I was becoming one with the sofa and should get out of the house and do something! As a result I have started to venture out on the Channel Island of Jersey with my cockapoo pal Paddy G.
Walking Jersey - Le Braye to Le Don Hilton (Part 2) #jersey #walking #virtualhike
@thereluctantoutdoorsman Tom (from The Reluctant Outdoorsman channel) and Paddy the cockapoo walk from Le Braye to the building known as Le Don Hilton in Jersey, Channel Islands.

In this, the second and final ten minute video, we continue along the sea wall of beautiful St. Ouen's beach, pass The Watersplash and reach our destination Le Don Hilton. The tide is out but the views are still spectacular.
Tom and Paddy are filming walking the entire coast of the island in both directions and this is another section covered in a clockwise direction..

Some of the backgroung "music" is dire - had to turn the sound off. -
😁 Colin, my wife said exactly the same thing.........and she was in the next room! ☹️
Hi Tom I couldn't help but notice when you mentioned the word Watersplash.. Just like magic the accompanying music 🎹 was very appropriate and relaxing .. Good choice Tom. ✅. Meanwhile I am wondering 🤔 do you prefer these shorter,, let's say less taxing walks or the more precarious, adventurous, rugged, clambering over rocks? . I wonder which Paddy prefers 😂. Thanks for the wee History lesson too 📚..it Is good to learn something new every day . See you again soon Im Sure. All the best ☘️
Hi Christine........glad you enjoyed the music.....Colin and my wife couldn't stand it! 😁😁😁 The walk we just watched was actually from Corbiere to the end of the Five Mile Road and it took a couple of hours, so I was a bit "cream crackered" by the end of it but yes, I know what you mean and I definitely prefer the cliff paths with all their ups and downs! Paddy just loves being out there but he does particularly enjoy a good beach! Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate you taking the time! 👍🏻
@@thereluctantoutdoorsmanmy stupid brain... Of course you were walking the full stretch . Quite a dander Tom and I guess Paddy never complained. Wondering how many steps it was 😂
We walked along there many years ago, Tom. We played some crazy golf and then had a lovely lunch in the golf club next to it! Assuming they are all still there!
Hi Sheila, the golf club is teetering along with many disgruntled members. The crazy golf is still going strong and I believe the clubhouse Rocco's is still open! Snowing? ❄️🌨️☃️
@thereluctantoutdoorsman oh really? 🤣. Glad to hear they are still going anyway! Must have been 8 years or so ago when we went there😱
😮 wow Tom and Paddy 🐕🥩🦴 g I remember earlier in the year you and 🌟 Angie walked this Trek if I had a tin of paint a wire brush I sort the rusty railings out lol 🤔 it will take years but what a lovely place to do it in summer 🏖️ I remember the sands chateau letaq and water splash clubs back in the early 70s don Estelle and his sidekick Windsor Davies doing their act whispering green grass in the water splash great memories wonderful place to be ❤ well boys thanks for the 🎥 lovely stroll c u 2mora all the best John 😊😊
Hi John, yes I remember when Windsor Davies was over. Did you ever see the Krankies John? They were actually very funny and generous people........and they seem to turn up everywhere on TV. I've got you the railings gig.........£5 an hour and all the beer you can drink, plus a bag chips at the weekend! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻
Hey Tom a walk along here listening to Between Two Points would be well worth it 👍
Hi Lloyd, I still love that song and when David Gilmour comes in with his solo near the end it never fails to bring a tear to my eye for some reason! I hope that you are keeping well mate! 👍🏻
I could almost have written your script for you today Tom. One of mt cozens from Jersey, Gordon Chapman, took me to the Watersplash for my 17th. birthday. As you say it was a club in those days with some quite exotic acts. Not to mention that a bit of under age alcohol was also consumed. Yes, those were the days.
😂🤣 Nice one Malcolm! Yes, those were certainly the days! 👍🏻
Thanks for the history lesson Tom, I certainly didn’t know when I moved to Jersey that the Island is steeped in history. The railings I wonder who is responsible for them as it goes through three parishes or is it the states responsibility ?. I used to go to the water splash when I first moved to Jersey. I was friendly with three Jersey Guy’s I worked with and was asked if I wanted to go with them on the Saturday to the water splash. One guy was a surfer and had a VW van so off we went had a great evening and picked up four girls. On the way back to one of the guy’s homes we were stopped at a road check in St Peter and he knew one of the guys. We all had a skint full and to my astonishment he said ok straight home now and enjoy your evening. So it’s who you know and things are probably much different today. Cheers 🏌🏻♂️⛳️ 🐕🦺.
Hi Ted, yes things were very different back then........I seem to remember we used to head down in three cars. Of course no-one would even think of doing that today and that's why a lot of the country pubs have struggled! I just had a quick look at all the comments before replying and it looks like John Mullin has volunteered to paint the fence.......so we are sorted! 😂🤣😂🤣🏌🏻⛳
Hi tom ,have you ever considered showing the german bunker locations, ? In france ,normandy the french have practically built their economy on the german fortifications. Its a thought for your channel, if so you can purchase a map at the german underground hospital now renamed jersey war tunnels .giving the locations of these bunkers and exsplaining their individual positions of defence. Or you could consider showing the filming locations of the bergerac series ,that is still showing on tv throughout europe .it might interest some viewrs .?? I noticed paddy tried to slip down the steps to the beach tom😂 a lovely walk tom
Hi Brian, both your suggestions are really good, so thank you so much for the feedback. I have to admit that I know very little about the German defenses, so feel like I would have to do quite a bit of research in order to do the subject justice. As for Bergerac locations I think that that may well be a winner, if only I had ever watched any of it! 😁Of course the new series is out in February and I will be watching. Yesterday I looked at Episode 1 of Series 1 of the original, so maybe I will get to know it after all! Paddy is always trying to head beach-wards.
Good morning Tom! Looked like a nice enough day to me. Really like hearing the history of the places you walk past. We don't have near the rich and full past here in the middle of America. Thanks again!..plenty of excitement for me! 😂
Good morning Robert and thank you so much for watching and commenting from all the way over in the middle of America! The world today is a strange place isn't it? The thought that people from all areas of the world are some of the group who watch my small channel is very rewarding to me.......so thank you! 👍🏻Oh and thank you for the feedback! 👍🏻😁
Oh the memories 😢this brings back from the portelet hotel.
Hi Stephen, I hope the memories were good ones my friend! 😁👍🏻
Hi Tom, we are moving over to jersey in the next couple of weeks, so hopefully will bump into you on a walk with my springer called Finn. Cheers Chris
Hi Chris, welcome to Jersey and be sure to give us a shout if you see us when you are out with Finn! 👍🏻😁🐕
Happy new year Tom to you and the family. As I’m seventy in two months I’ll settle for the healthy bit and hopefully playing good golf. St Ouen was always a favorite of my dad, and on a visit one year we had lots of time to kill before his flight home. He wanted to go to El Tico for a Jersey cream tea and sit and watch the surfing out in the bay. We sent him off a happy man, as my dad loved Jersey and my sister would tell us he wouldn’t stop talking about his holiday for a month bless him. Good golfing Tom, and please think about filming a couple of holes with your brother or friends at the Royal in 2025. Cheers 🏌🏻♂️⛳️ 🐕🦺
Hi Nic, lovely story about your father - thanks so much for sharing that with us! I will definitely film a few holes in 2025! Happy new year to you and your wife! 😁👍🏻🏌🏻⛳
Hi Tom, wishing you, your family and all your followers a very Happy New Year. Thanks for this lovely video which brings back many happy memories of huge ice creams from Le Bray cafe (Jersey ice cream is just the best), and many walks the length of the bay, sometimes in pretty dodgy weather. I'm so looking forward to coming back in May, but lots of videos to enjoy before then. Take care and happy walking 🚶♀️
Hi Valerie, Happy new year to you and thanks so much for supporting the channel all through 2024! 👍🏻😁
Hi Tom A Very Happy New Year to you and Angie and may it be healthy too, St. Ouens Bay is the best place to clear the cobwebs away . The Watersplash which is coming up on the walk later has fond memories with the lads and some girls from Southampton😍🤭or was it Ticos 🤔. I do not bother with NY resolutions as now I cannot remember what I was doing yesterday 😅Take care matey all good my end 🙏
Happy New Year to you Lloyd........all the best mate! Yes, I remember you have fond memories of the Five Mile road! I'm like you........the old memory is shot to pieces! ☹️
Hiya Tom heading towards a good place for brekkie Le Braye cafe 👍👍I have never noticed you moaning 😊😊aint that normal nowadays 😁
😂🤣 Nice one Lloyd! The teeth are now in mate so at least now I'll be moaning with nice Hampsteads! 😁👍🏻
Beautiful scenery as always. Looking Forward to seeing many more or your adventures this coming year. And Looking forward even more to my own starting next week when i make my first visit this year. Thanks for letting us tag along again.
Hi Robert, thanks so much! I'm worried for you..........the weather has been pretty poor and although we are determined to play golf first thing tomorrow, I'm not sure it will happen! ☹️I really hope that you get some nice weather! 🤞🏻
Hi Tom. A beach🏖️ is always my happy place .. So now to wish You, your family and all the gang who come on here commenting every day. A Very Happy, Healthy and prosperous New Year. Until next time ☘️☘️
Hi Christine, a very happy new year to you and your family! 🎇🎆👍🏻
In 1987 my wife and I visited Jersey for the first and only time. We very much enjoyed several walks along the north coast including Bouley bay, Bonne Nuit bay and Greve de Lecq. The wonderful views out to sea from the top of the cliffs, the various brackens, gorse. heaths and heathers, oaks and broom, and the twisting narrow paths down to the harbours in the bays still live in our memories of a memorable holiday.
Hi Jim, thank you so much for taking the time to share that with us. 👍🏻 I don't know if you are aware that you can find walks to and from all of the places you mentioned, on my channel. If you have the time.....check them out! 😁
@@thereluctantoutdoorsman I will! Thanks from Canada
Happy New Year to all of you, Tom! " Lang may yer lum reek "!! 😊 The channels will go from strength to strength in 2025! 🎉🎉

Happy new year to you tom and your family and all your dedicated subscribers and your regular commentors for 2025 , the whole stretch of this coastline from corbier to crosnez is truly amazing, great news with regards your medical tom , i think its down to that reluctant outdoorsman bloke and his pacemaker doggy paddy g has had something to do with it .😅, thanks for bringing great joy in 2024 , and no doubt to us all for posting your walks on this magical island and bringing back memories to those who can no longer visit .
😂🤣 Hi Brian, thank you so much for all your posts of late and have a fantastic 2025! You are too kind my friend! 👍🏻
May 2025 be a healthy and contented year for you Tom, on this walk you remind me of the summer of '62, The WaterSplash Night Club, (Elegant in those days), drumming for Ronnie Hilton. To differentiate twixt, the cast called Hilton, Ronnie and I became Young Ron. A name I embraced then as now, only then it was true. All the very vey best and thank you from........Young Ron.
Hi Young Ron, thanks so much for posting.......and great memories for you huh! Have a top 2025 my friend! 👍🏻

Hi there, yes......I'll certainly do a walk along Bath Street and post it in the next few months! Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🏻
Hello Tom, may 2025 see you, your doggie and all your ' fambly', healthy and content, including lots of heart felt chuckles from Ron n' B. or ... B n' he.
Thank you Ron and B! Have a great new year yourselves and let's hope that 2025 is kind to all of us! 👍🏻😁
The best new year resolution is to not make any can't break what you haven't made 😂 Anyway happy new year Tom & Paddy
Hi Donnamay.........I think you are right! Perhaps I'll give it a miss! 😉
😮 wow Tom and paddy g always look on the bright side of life lol 🤔 hope you don't need a new hip Tom ✅🙏 has your sore throat gone? Always remember honey and hot lemon for our leader 🌟 Angie 👌 take care of him Hun ✅ we'll boys another wonderful weekend strolling with you guys all the best John 😊😊
Hi John, I think you have a crystal ball mate.......Angie made me honey with freshly squeezed lemons a couple of days ago! The sore throat is almost gone, but my chest is still rough! I'm hoping the hips will last me this life time.....but if I come back I want a new pair! 😂🤣😂🤣 Keep fit John! 👍🏻
Hi Tom. Well that was a pleasant surprise today. You are spoiling us this weekend .. I fell your pain. So do half the country atm I'd say.. Sore throat 🤮, bad chest etc etc not to mention the restless uncomfortable night's .. Sure We can all have a moan together 🤣.. Best medicine = rest, fluids.. So I'm told 👍 Take care ☘️☘️
Hi Christine......I only realised it was the weekend at the last minute on Friday night, so had to rapidly do some editing to get the two videos out! Yes, I've noticed that people everywhere seem to be under the weather! I have been doing nothing for days now and cancelled golf for tomorrow! Fluids........mmmh, it just may be lager o'clock! 🍺🕰️😁👍🏻
Lovely music 🎶
Thanks Jean! 👍🏻
The sand dunes over the road was a favorite of ours many years ago now. We would take a picnic and a couple of light chairs and spend a few hours just relaxing. I used to take my sand wedge and practice bunkers shots, and before anyone says it’s protected land I didn’t take chunks out of the grass only the sand in which many looked like bunkers. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore as I used to break them all. I used to like La Braye cafe as the did a mean burger and a big mug of tea, happy days. Cheers 🏌🏻♂️ & 🐕🦺
Ha ha Ted I had to laugh with you expecting adverse feedback after your bunker practice comment - as I am constantly deleting comments before I post them! People can get so easily offended nowadays, but I have been blessed on this channel with a perfect group of people who take the time to comment! I don't think my resolution will last for a full week to be honest! 😂🤣👍🏻
We all have to complain sometimes, Tom! It is impossible to be positive all the time😂. Thank you to you and Paddy for all your work this year and a Happy New Year to you all 🥂🥂🥂🥂✨️
Happy New Year to you and your family Sheila! 🎇🎆👍🏻
Beautiful! I haven't walked the dunes there... not yet anyway. But I'll be back in just over a week. May see what a January walk there brings. I resolve in 2025 to visit Jersey more, have more great walks and watch more of your videos. Moaning or not! 😂.
Robert, you are a gentleman sir! Thanks so much for commenting and continuing to watch! Hopefully we'll have a nice patch of weather for you! 🤞🏻👍🏻
Hi tom you have shown me parts of this coast I had not walked with regards its fortifications burried in the dunes, this part of the island is for the wind surfers ,sea surfers and I had noticed the thrill seekers fly their parachutes and kites off of the very top of the cliff top dunes. Yes tom the food is great at le breye and at el ticos , reference new years resolution I'm going to learn to say no to my former customers ,wanting plumbing work ,some has reverted to knocking on my door ,because my gate keeper Kim says no to them on the phone ,lets see how long this resolution will last😊 probably not long ,so keep moaning tom .because your family will think there is something wrong ! 😂😂😂 , thanks for bringing these fantastic views to your channel,
Former customers knocking! Wow!. Says a lot about your quality of work! I was thinking the same about moaning. Just a little now and again won't be too worrisome 😂
Hi robert ,i think its because i am cheap 😂thanks for replying @roberteldridge8216
Hi Robert it's probably because I'm cheap 😂,thanks for posting
@brianjames3849 😂😂😂 Cheap in Jersey? No wonder they are knocking!
@@roberteldridge8216hi rob I live on the mainland plymouth in fact , yes plumbers and electricians are the most expensive of the building trade ,it's because of the constant retraining we have to do to obtain our gas safe and 18th electrical qualifications , 2 weeks in the classroom then exams ,it's costs are high .thanks once again for your interest.
I feel your pain Tom. I think you and I are just misunderstood. Enjoying your channel as always, Paddy is the best companion. 👌
😁 Thanks James, nice to know there are kindred spirits out there! 😁👍🏻
Oh how I miss all the old team at the portelet hotel. 😢
Hi, a lot of viewers of this channel seem to have similar, fond memories of Jersey in times gone by! I hope the videos help with the memories! 👍🏻
Such a beautiful beach, Tom and of course, wee Paddy loved it😊
Thanks Sheila......your support for the channel over the past year has been much appreciated!
Hi Tom. Hope you had a nice Christmas, with nice weather. We had unbelievable weather.. 14+ degrees so not even a coat needed on Christmas day.. The Easter eggs are in along with the Easter bunnies 🤣 and we have hardly our Christmas pudding digested yet Thanks for yet another video. I think you said early August, if so my family were maybe there, driving around.. I might get over next year but hotels seem to think of a number then double it 🙄. Anyway we'll see.. Its been a mixed up kind of week/weekend.. My son and family are in Scotland with in laws for hogmany.. Total party animals. .. Wish I was there 🏴 too All the best for now ☘️☘️
Hi Christine, yes, we survived Christmas........fair play to us all! 👍🏻 As you say, Jersey hotels are an 💪🏻 and a 🦵🏻! I have to say my party animal days are long gone.........I was just talking with Angie how in the old days when you went out to dinner in Jersey you usually booked the table 8.30 for 9! Nowadays it is unusual if both of us are still up after 9! 😂🤣😂🤣
@thereluctantoutdoorsman " early to bed early to rise" as they say Tom ✅☘️
That's the idea! 😁
😮 hi Tom and Paddy 🐕🥩🦴 g Wow Paddy gave us All a special spin and tail wag he loves the 🏖️ I hope you all had a good Xmas the jersey royals roasties beautiful ✅ thanks for the 🎥 m8 c u tomora John 😊😊
Hi John, we had a great Christmas mate - i hope that you had a special one! Yes, our Paddy definitely loves the beach. 😁👍🏻 Our roasties were from France mate, so you got one up on us! 😂🤣
I wish I had a tenner every time I’ve walked along this stretch of beach over the years. I hope you had a good Christmas with the family and are now feeling fit and well to walk off the food And wine with some new content. The hips sound like old age is catching up Tom as I have similar problems. I have changed my diet to cut out as much sugar as possible and not a great lot of alcohol. As sugar is not good for your joints and I swear I feel a lot better. Sometimes a change of diet can help a great deal. I can’t remember that house overlooking the beach must be newish. Cheers
Hi Ted, we had a great Christmas and hopefully so did you! The advice about diet is very interesting as I do like sugary things.........I'll try and cut down! Diet can have such a huge impact.....do you remember Olazabal. He could hardly walk due to pain in his feet, tried everything and was in despair - when a dietician changed something in his diet and he was back on the tour again in no time!
Hi Tom, it’s definitely worth a try to cut back on sugar. I started a month ago and I feel a lot better for it. I also have a sweet tooth and it was torture giving up milk chocolate, but you can have a square of dark chocolate per day. I refuse to give up milk in my tea and coffee but have cut back on many other things. It’s only been a month my waist has trimmed down a bit not that I was fat. It will find its level somewhere down the line and I only take wine on a weekend. 🏌🏻♂️
Sounds good Ted. I love my chocolate too.........although I don't take sugar or milk in tea or coffee! I probably drink way too much coffee........double espresso with a little hot water on top (I think that makes it an Americano). My order of 600 capsules has just started arriving today.........and Ange only likes instant! They are meant to last me 6 months......☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
Another wonderful video Tom. Any day walking the beach in Jersey would be a very good day. Thanks for letting me tag along again
Rob your sentiments are spot on
Thanks Robert, it is great to have you with us! 👍🏻
And you Brian, of course! 😁
51F with light rain a day before christmas,we are waiting for the arrival of a vicious snow storm followed by frigid weather. Tommy i love Toronto but HATE CANADA & SCREW FRANCE.Merry Christmas old chum to you,my friend patty and your sweetheart⛄⛄⛄⛄
Hi Greg, wrap up warm my friend for that approaching cold weather! 🧣❄️❄️❄️ Have a happy and peaceful Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻🎆🎇👍🏻
Fabulous video and real classy with the background music🙂
Thank you Chris. Very kind of you to take the time to comment. Have a lovely Christmas! 🎄🎅🏻❄️
Merry Christmas Tom...and may the new year bring us your nostalgic views of that magical island. B n' I could live there but oh those cold winters! Now you know why we chose Palm Springs, our winters are the finest summers one can experience. All the very best.
Wow Palm Springs.........very nice Ron and a very wise choice! Have a fabulous Christmas mate! 🎅🏻🎄❄️😁👍🏻
Lovely little interlude Tom, good of you not to edit out your slip. A happy Christmas to you, Angela and Paddy G.
Hi Malcolm, thank you so much. I don't know if you saw my reply to one of your earlier comments thanking you for your super Christmas card. It was such a lovely surprise! Happy Christmas to you, Sylvia and of course to Toby and Keone as well! 🎄🎅🏻❄️👍🏻😁
@@thereluctantoutdoorsman Thank you Tom, a little bit of detective work had to be done.😎
Yes, well done my dear Watson! 😁
Merry Christmas Tom, hope you and your family have a very happy festive season and New Year. I’ve really enjoyed watching your posts and listening to the chat along the way. What a great record of Jersey in the 2020’s you are producing ❤️
Sue, you are too kind and thank you so much for coming along for the ride! I hope you and your family have the best Christmas and a happy new year! 🎅🏻🎄❄️👍🏻
Hi Tom. As usual I fell asleep watching this so I must have missed your "stumble". Easily done though.. I remember going over on my ankle whilst descending the hill between Biarritz hotel and Quaisne my ankle swole up like a bap (as they say) Hope you are OK... Even though it's weeks later now.. The days are on the turn 👏👏not long until Easter 😂.. Im not a winter person..❄️ Bring on the sunshine I say 🏖️ Anyway, keep up the good work... We do enjoy watching all the antics you and Paddy get up to. . I wouldn't blame you if you took a wee rest now over Christmas... Although have to admit I'll be popping on your channel just in case... Never know.. You might miss us!! 😂🤣. ☘️☘️
Hi Christine.....the good news about you falling asleep whilst watching my videos is that the video probably plays to the end whilst your asleep and ramps up my watch hours! 😁👍🏻 You have got to be careful with sprained ankles......they can sometimes be worse than a break! I did one of mine playing football when I was 40 - lumps on both sides of the ankle, sausage toes and a bruise all the way up to my knee! It has never been the same! Soooooo I hope yours wasn't too bad! Anyway......have a wonderful Christmas. 🎅🏻🎄❄️👍🏻
@thereluctantoutdoorsman I was fine in a couple of days. I was actually given strong pain relief from another hotel resident and that saw me through .. Sure we're not safe to let out 😂.. oh Tom I never thought of that , hope it did ramp up your hours good show 👏👏👏 I've had a house full tonight 12 hooligans 😍 just away. So dishwasher loaded and house tidied till next time . Just need a nice relaxing video of Tom and Paddy to finish off a perfect but busy day ☘️. Have a super duper Christmas and new year
😁😁😁😁👍🏻
Hi Tom, lovely video of Bouley Bay and I'm glad it was longer! Paddy certainly enjoyed himself. It is freezing cold, very windy and pouring with rain here so it was lovely to pay a visit to the beach at gorgeous Bouley Bay! That's fabulous news about your medical check, all that walking and hill climbing must be paying dividends, what a lovely Christmas present. Every blessing to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year and many thanks for all the lovely videos through 2024. Don't go falling again😂
Valerie, thank you so much for supporting the channel - almost right from the start! You are still the only person to (out of the blue) recognize Paddy and I out on a walk! 😁👍🏻 Have a wonderful Christmas and hopefully we will meet up again on one of your future trips to Jersey! 🎄🎅🏻
