How Far Can I Walk In The Wet Weather?
Beautiful boy
No, if you have to go then maybe. But a trip to visit, just to visit then hell no. I know people who live there who don't even go into the city centre, which is one of the worst city centres around.
I actually quite liked it.
Please try Portmeirion next to Porthmadog
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll look into it!!
Penarth is just along the coast from Barry with it’s lovely pier and seafront.
Hope your family home is safe from all the flooding. Maybe you could make a video about flooding damage in the area.
Great idea
Good Vlog you two keep them coming :)
Thank you! Will do! I see your in a studio in profile pic. Anything interesting?
Being honest, you talking about donating whilst you where on top of the cliff made me laugh so much!! In terms of places to visit and videos, I have a few ideas. There is a little town in the middle of wales called Bala, very picturesque and a beautiful lake to kayak on. Also I don't know if you know anything about the extreme points of the Uk (northernmost, southernmost etc) but I think it would make for a cool video. In case you want to consider it: Northernmost: Dunnet head, Scotland (for the mainland) Southernmost: Lizard point, cornwall (a lot easier to get to lol) Easternmost: Ness point, lowestoft, suffolk (good proximity to lowestoft train station) Westernmost: Ardnamurchan point, scotland As well there is the capitals challenge (all 4 capitals of the uk in 24 hours) and a lot of places on the south coast like bournemouth or paignton would be really interesting to visit, as in summer they are almost like the mediterrenean. I hoped all this helped lol
Thanks!! I have actually talked about the capitals challenge in the next video!! I will look into to Bala now. I appreciate the ideas!!
Barry Island was separated from the mainland by Barry Sound until the Victorian era when docks were built to connect it. There was also a steam locomotive graveyard there and as a kid, it used to fascinate me when we passed in in the car when we had day trips to Barry.
Ahh, very interesting. Thanks for watching!!
Cardiff is a great city. The arcades are brilliant!
It is!!! There’s like 30 arcades as well mostly full of expressive watch shops!!
Nice video. Well, as you're probably aware, there's not a lot of largish urban areas in Wales. Sticking to the M4 corridor you have Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. You could also maybe do Neath and Llanelli. There is also the former coal mining towns just up country from Cardiff in the Rhondda valley, which would be an interesting video to say the least. Then you have to go to North Wales, where you have the coastal dual carriageway linked to the M56, where you have Chester and Wrexham eventually ending up in Holyhead. The rest of Wales is pretty much empty.
Yeah, it’s probably a good thing. Thanks for watching!!
Buy me a coffee link: buymeacoffee.com/urbanbritain Thanks!!
Much enjoyed this, only seen Barry beach in summer and never thought to explore further. (I'm not sure your hood covers enough of your head to stop it getting wet though).
Hi, luckily it wasn’t too rainy!! Barry is a very strange place at this time of year although this was my first time visiting the town so I was no idea what it’s like in the summer!! If you didn’t already know, I upload every Saturday and I reply to every comment!! Thanks for watching!!
Another fun watch, and another place I've never visited, so get a bit of a tour from you! You didn't fancy a little paddle?
Haha, unfortunately that water is basically the muddy River Severn so no paddle for me!! Thanks for watching!!
@@urban-UK It's only a bit of mud, where's your spirit of adventure?? Only joking, paddling anywhere in the UK at the moment would probably lead to acute frostbite, and a few questions regarding your sanity!
@ Haha, yeah.
Come to Pontypridd, it's a bit rough around the edges but a lovely community and a buzzing high st at the weekend. Plenty of history with the mines as well.
I will certainly look into it!! Thanks for watching!!
There used to be a rule that no building could be taller than the highest tree in MK in order not to ruin the view but they got rid of the rule and now we have buildings like the hotel la tour. Milton Keynes was built in mind of cars/transport, pedestrians, families and cyclists so there are many green spaces, redways, bridges/underpasses and roads with roundabouts. It was built between London and Birmingham due to the lack of residential space in the two places from growing population so it sits nicely on the railway line to take you directly to both places for those who had to commute to work. The grid layout is orientated to line up with the sun cycle of the summer solstice which is why there is Midsummer Boulevard. 7:14 - it's an outdoor stage Great video and hoped you liked the large amount of walking.
The city center is a very strange place and it’s massive. Thanks for watching!!
You really had a good walk around this town. You looked quite warm with your hood up. I hope your cousin didn't get too cold! When you said it was a 30 minute walk to the beach, I was a bit worried. That would have meant the same time to get back😱 Glad it didn't take as long as you thought! I'm not sure if Aberystwyth would be that easy to get too from where you are, but I like that town. I stayed there for a week some years ago. It has an old Victorian cliff railway, similar to the one in my town. How's Dylan btw?
Hello, luckily there is more than one station in Barry so that’s why I didn’t have to walk back. I am looking into Aberystwyth but it would require an adventure. Dylan’s good as far as I know!! Thanks for watching!!
Looks really cold 😮and your cousin is dancing😅wow🫣
Haha, it was really cold!!
Congrats on your sub count hooe xmas is great or a few markets
Yeah, I have a few videos planed for Christmas!!
Instresting vlog not very long dude nice walkabout though
Yeah, I try to make the videos as long at possible but I usually have to buy the cheapest possible train tickets which aren’t always times well. Thanks for watching!!
Interesting video, I’m glad you never let the weather stop you, Barry Island, the amusements and funfair regularly featured in the bbc comedy drama series Gavin & Stacey, I have series one and two on dvd.
Yeah, I’m the last two weeks I haven’t been able to mention Barry without Gavin and Stacey being brought up. Thanks for watching as always!!
Shame your battery went before you got to the funfair. Henry Danter owns it and he's usually there , he loves giving interviews about the fair because it means so much to him . Also on the point the other side of whitmore bay used to be Barry Butlins it had a huge pool outside and i think could accommodate 6000 holidaymakers also had a chairlift and small funfair of their own . Shame its all gone now . If you Google Barry Butlins you'll see what i mean ,there will be lots of pictures of it .
Hello, I did go on the biggest ride after the video and I really didn’t enjoy it unfortunately. I’m sure it is a brilliant fun fair though. Thanks for watching!!
@urban-UK well done , your braver than me ! I've never been on it . Henry Danter paid £3 million for that one ride ! Google Barry Butlins and you will see a lot of pictures of the camp .
Your braver than me ! I've never been on that ride . That one ride cost Henry Danter £3millilon . Google Barry Butlins and you can see a lot of pictures of the camp in it's heyday !
I've tried adding a reply but it doesn't go up . I was saying that you were braver than me going on that big ride . It cost Henry Danter £3 million just for that one ride. Google Barry Butlins and you can see the pictures of the camp in it's heyday.
Good morning to you and it’s beautiful view Barry island at wales good fresh weather too
Morning, it was a lovely day with amazing weather.
@ oh good for you enjoying your day and you’re always warming welcome 🤗
great videos
Glad you like them!
Cardiff is barely a town. There's nothing of note there. And it rains.
I think there’s a lot to see there. It is developing very quickly though so it is more centered around transportation at the moment.
Good morning and great video
Good morning! Thanks!!
@@urban-UKyou're welcome
It doesn't seem that bad of a place, Lowestoft or Great Yarmouth are a lot more grim in my opinion
Yeah, I didn’t rest have anything to title the video really. Thanks for watching!!
A true pleasure explore more and more about the city through your eyes. Well done. Greeting from IRAN 🇮🇷 ❤
Hi, thanks for watching!! I appreciate your support!!
Arthur, your trips look amazing and I would love to join u one day From a friend(guess who) P.S. let's see if ur "on the telly" in the library
Haha, thanks!! See you later!!
Great video!
Thanks!!
Brave going into the quay car park. Usually full of drug addicts
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exeter_War_Memorial
Ah, thanks. Now I’ve watched back on the video, I should have know it was a war memorial!
@@urban-UK Yes, one of two. There's another one in the Cathedral Close.
@ ah nice
A drone would be cumbersome luggage on busses and trains. Also, a drone could easily be lost in a sudden gust of wind. I would postpone the idea of getting a drone for now, if at all, since you do not travel by car.
I totally agree!!
@@urban-UK Have you had a drone before? I wouldn't know where to begin. I suppose you could buy a cheaper second-hand one to start off with and see how you get on with it. I would probably do that, but then I do tend to be frugal and thrifty! Lol
@ I haven’t had a drone before. I’ve actually been thinking, I don’t know if it’ll actually be good for the channel.
@@urban-UK It could take up more time I guess
@ Yeah, and for the money I could go on I good few trips or probably or get a new bike to ride on my trips.
