If I had to pick a channel I subscribe to for "most unlikely to rickroll" yours would feature high on my list, unexpected and hilarious, I literally laughed out loud. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos I really enjoy them! Cheers.
Boring point of trivia: I forgot to film the standard shot of the station sign I often do on arrival at Weymouth on the first day, so that opening shot in this video was actually filmed as I was leaving the next day. I doubt anyone would notice (or care!) but I somehow felt compelled to mention it regardless.
Well it was either that or one excruciatingly long video! I figured this way anyone out there who just wanted to see a wild camp can just watch that bit without having to skip past 40 minutes of me looking at ditches and old rocks. 😁
Thanks Jamie! I was watching this back again myself just now and enjoying the scenery for a second time. It's just a bit of a shame about the sound quality - as I mentioned in the video the foam wind shield thing was falling apart so there's a lot of wind noise. I took delivery of a replacement for that today though so hopefully the next video won't be quite so blustery!
Just to add more information to a briliant video. The terraced ridges on the very steep 'Grand Old Duke of york' hill are geomorhological features called 'terassettes' whic are formed by soil slip. The deep holes on top of the last hill are most probably flint mines.
That's a fascinating nugget of information! Amazing to think that's a purely natural process then...? They looked so regular and flat that I thought it might have been some man made intervention - a bit like the terracing I had seen in Japan on mountain sides for rice fields. However here, given the widths involved (30cm or so?), I couldn't see that it would make any sense agriculturally.
Thanks Seán! I could have just made one hour long video, but I know I sometimes find the prospect of one long video a bit daunting. It's not that I have a short attention span, it's just that often I don't have that much free time!
The musical hill had me 😆 (I wonder if it's just that song on repeat, or more are played, like a radio station? 🤔😆) And a football makes yet another appearance.. I think you are trying to tell us something discreetly 😉 Wiltshire is a beautiful County, been there many times, (I have friends in Marlborough who I stay with) and there's something special about Avebury. Off to watch the other parts now 👍
Thanks Dave and Buddy! Yes the idea of a Bronze Age earthwork Rickrolling tickled me somehow. Perhaps would have worked better with the original song rather than my very amateur rendition but I didn't want to have to deal with the copyright hassle. The football must have been fate! It was just lying there by the side of the road, not particularly near any houses or anything.
I,m out of breath just watching this , fabulous scenery . We used to have family living in Devizes and I have seen many of these places only while driving . Thanks for sharing all this John
Thanks Giles! I think the more interesting bits of the South Dorset Ridgeway are in part 3 of this series. In terms of ancient history this part of the route was pretty much just round barrows, but rather a lot of them, and I found it was a very pleasant walk with some nice scenery, including sea views most of the time. I hope you enjoy your trip to Dorset!
Yes as also mentioned in the later videos, I find the Neolithic (and to a certain extent the Bronze Age) really fascinating, but somehow more recent history doesn't quite grab my attention the same way. I think it's partly down to the fact so little is known about "pre" history - by definition I guess - and the spans of time involved are huge - so there's more scope to let your imagination fill in the gaps.

🤣 Thanks Sirius Rising I'm glad you picked up on that, I like to keep the audience on their toes!

WOW three vids at one go! you are spoiling us.
Yeh he has been busy , always entertaining for me

@@TINY5BB thanks Stuart!
Absolutely love this! What beautiful scenery! 🎩🌳🌿🌄💚

Beautiful countryside great video😊
Very nice scenery Tweedy. Love the rolling hills and view of the sea 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

A Trilogy of Tweedy!!! Effing brilliant!!

Thanks Stuart! Glad you enjoyed it and glad it gave you the opportunity to see places at a slower pace that you'd previously just whizzed past!
Thanx Tweedy, your videos are such a welcome distraction from modern life....keep up the good work !! 😊
Thanks Bazza! Really glad you enjoy the videos.
Pleasant looking countryside and very impressive looking barrow at the end. Onto the next one!
Thanks for watching, and I hope this wasn't a case of scraping the bottom of the barrow!
That was interesting John, especially as we are heading that way in a few weeks 👍

Sledging 😂 awesome vid
👍
That really was brilliant, but sometime you just have to stick to set eras. Right off for part two 😊

@@tweedyoutdoors completely agree 😊
