We Attempted to Travel During THE WORST STORM in Decades
Many Canadian soldiers were stationed near Seaford and trained for the dieppe raid and later DDay rip 🙏
Thank you for documenting the whole walk! I’m doing this solo soon and your video is really helpful.
Live here and in the beginning wasn’t really into it but over time learned to love it as I started to discover the Estate😁clean, safe and full of variety of activities from art/culture sports and nightlife. Nowadays, some of the social parts are busy and vibrant (Crossrail Place)However, beware that it can be expensive and “soulless” at times due to the fact that there is no feel of neighbourhood- everyone is inside their buildings that have all the amenities and because of that, you don’t really see or speak to your neighbours. Also, in terms of supermarket, the offers can be somewhat limited. I unusually go to Greenwich or Lewisham for grocery shopping.Ps- Pergola is overrated😉
How far are the dunes/bunker from the pier boardwalk?
Nicely put together. Did the walk today. A very true-to-life review!
Fantastic! You are my kinda gal. Thanks. This was awesome.
penny from tbbt ?
Canadians sound American.
When Canadians say the word "about" in their accent you can easily identify them
Love Canary Wharf ❤
I am shocked to see so many litter in London because I didn't see it. Where do you live pls?
Sugar, do not press your vocal folds (cords)!! sounds awful and will harm them. You DO have a pretty voice in there. It is OK to sound like a girl! Think higher. If I had that husband, well.. if i had him my voice would be fine. But YOU should sound like a girl. :))
Me and some of my family are doing this hike on Saturday.
I'm going 7/2 to 7/4 so the first couple of rounds. Do you think the same amount of wait is required? I'll wait as long as I need to. And yes you crushed it? Thanks
Good stuff, seems like I planned the wrong way. Im coming from Eastbourne into Birling Gap and I'll miss the whole 70% of the cliff coming from Seaford side
Ive done this twice in the last week, and could keep going back. Theres so many additional adventures besides the cliffs, cuckmere haven, the adjacent hills, beaches, friston forest etc all add up to give a really satisfying day out, and its so easy to find your way back to public transport connections. Its also fun and reassuring to see that those big slopes still take it out of people fitter than me haha. Pace yourself, take rests and it all balances out to be not too strenuous overall.
Hey hey! Super helpful (and enjoyable) vlog!! QQ where did you stay hotel/area plz? 🙌🏼
Wow..amazing vid, and experience. I just came back from London and did the tour they offer. Next time, game time. :)
Hi Michelle, I'll try one last time. Why haven't you told everyone you no longer use UA-cam, or just simply delete your channel? it would be nice to know why you just stopped posting
Hi Michelle, so you haven't posted for over a year despite requests to why. Clearly you've stopped your channel. Usually UA-camrs tell their subscribers why. Ok. so why???
Can I purchase two tickets at the queue? Say my wife doesn’t want to wait the queue…
Just loved this. It's a hike I've always wanted to do. Not been able to go away for 8 years now so you just lived the dream for me. Thank you for sharing ❤🙏
Where have you gone??? Please make more content. Was always so positive and enjoyable to watch.
I miss CW so much. Lived there fton its start to many new building springing up. I love every inch of this place. We started as a young family, then- a family of three, having all plans connected with CW. One day it all got ruined with my husbsnds unexpected and sudden death. I still miss the pkace, but not sure i could be there without him😢
yoohoo I am the subscribe number 1002 :::))) I think :D
Great video and insight! They are limited to 500 tickets to centre court and you were 468 so well done for getting a ticket! Planning on doing this in 2024.
the only time I remember queuing like this is for the 7th book of Harry Potter outside of barnes and noble from 4:30 AM onwards, to pick one copy on the day of its release. me and my dad took blankies and those foldable chairs with coffee and hot chocolate. it was super dark with crickets croaking, and insanely cold.
"Hello" from Prince Edward Island. I enjoyed your video. Thank you.
2:26 this is so true 😂 in most cases 2:50 thats not really a big deal 6:38 nope i give them a dirt look until they say sorry
You stopped :-(
Really, really, really sad you have stopped posting😪😪😪
Sorry, I just found u (1yr later). Excellent presentation. I am going to England next month (in Sept) for 2 weeks. This will be a mandatory stop, rewatching this video the night before:) Thank you.
Great video and narration. Well done! ❤
How much is the ticket cost please?
Wonderful vlog! Super helpful, may I pls know how much u had to pay for the centre court?
Are you going this year as well ? I am the one like you, all on our own. So do let me know if we can plan something together
I want to come to Wimbledon next year. I was fortunate enough to see Roger play in Cincinnati in 2015, will never forget it! Where did you stay when you were there?
Hi, how much did you paid? :) thanks
What a great video. Thank you for doing this.
Hey, thanks for the great video and explanation. I m going to queue next week Monday (1st round). I will queue alone and try to get a ground ticket. Any idea when I should join the queue? Currently I plan to be there at 5:30 am - thanks in advance for a hint! 🎾
Very well made! Appreciate your sense of humor :)
Why have you stopped posting? Is everything ok Michelle?
You, watching him in Wimbledon, on Centre Court, and vs Taylor Fritz (which was probably the best game of the tournament)… So yes, you've absolutely crushed your first Wimbledon queueing experience. I'm well jealous.
Thanks for the video! I’m going to try my chances this time on the first day! Gets me excited
What’s the best time to be there according to you?
I'm rewatching your video on the 6th of June 2023 ,of course I'm sure you know its D Day When the Allies Landed in Normandy and started to clear the Nazi from Europe, Alot of young men's lives was the cost .LEST WE FORGET.
Nice Vlog! I remember quing for hours to watch Roger’s afternoon match!
I’m coming from the US this year and queueing! Thanks for this video. Helps a lot. Will be there for round one day one.
same! are you going as early as she went?
@@CooperCoal Yes. that's the plan.
Ah! I'm going on day 3 so second round matches, also queuing but gonna start queuing on day 2! how about you guys?
@@manishasubramaniam1127 i'm first round matches on the 7th. still debating what time I want to get there
Hi here, just a bit lost. Hoping someone can guide along. I wanted to know can we queue up and buy tickets ( centre court/court 1)for next day or another day in the week? And How do we get to the queue/ closest station from Paddington.
You obviously love the outdoors so how about the Three Peaks Challenge in the Lake District
