Walking from Bowleaze Cove to Eweleaze Beach

- That's pretty much what happens in this video. A walk over some headlands from one beach to another beach, with me wittering about assorted sights and sounds along the way. Nice trip? I'll send you a postcard next time!

Absolutely love the sound of the waves on the shingle
Believe it or not, it's still open! A travel channel I follow "walk with me Tim" stayed there this year, and its quite grim!
Was just checking I hadn't dreamt that, and we're both right - Tim posted his video back in September, and even though their f*c*book has been dead since the summer they still seem to be taking bookings.
I love Walk With Me Tim’s videos! Both he and Atomic Shrimp got me through my pregnancy.
My Dad and Grandad built those steps down to Eveleaze Beach (which we new as Osmington Beach, (the steps are still standing just..)I lived in Osmington and brought my children up there, where I taught them to swim in the sea. There are both grown up now and in their 50's. I'm in my 70's but sadly no longer live in Beautiful Dorset!
I was thinking to myself, all the collecting, foraging and harvesting you do, and I've never seen Mike pull a fish out of all this water. Then you mentioned your fishing bag! I would love to see a trout being prepared on Atomic Shrimp
How about a two for one...: First a slow TV episode of catching the fish, then a cooking video of preparing it in an innovative way.
@@kimvibk9242 Dunno about the former. Lots of people can't stomach seeing where protein in our food comes from....
@@HotelPapa100 There's plenty of protein sources that don't involve clumsily asphyxiating a living animal
In the summer or whenever you feel is a good time, would you ever consider going on holiday in the East Riding Yorkshire / Yorkshire Coast?
We mainly have chalk and flint in the cliffs, but I would love to see what sort of fossles and other interesting things you may come across.
Recently, there's been an old mineral mine, which was revealed by tidal erosion. I've not personally seen it other than pictures in the local newspaper, but I plan to walk from Flamborough to Filey with my wife soon, so hopefully, we get to spot it.
I think this year's temporary Shrimp HQ might be in Yorkshire
I live in Cleethorpes, my favourite place on this earth is Whitby, or anywhere up North Yorkshire coast. Truly beautiful. Would be great to see Mr Shrimp visit Robin Hoods Bay etc.
What a delightful walk. Shame about the fall! After that explanation about the coast falling into the sea and the clouds forming over the cliffs I'm a firm believer that Atomic Shrimp has universal knowledge about all things.
I love this kinda of video. Since i live in another country (Brazil, to be honest), it's lovely to see other places in the world. You know that feeling, right? A new place, a different one, far beyond your current reality. Where you don't know the landscape, where you never even stepped in. Just amazing. Love your work, Mike!
I don't know if you read all your comments but I really love your videos, they're really calming! Hope you were ok after your spill. I do appreciate that you left that in to show everyone is not always perfect!
I thought that too.
I like to nibble on a gorse flower when I'm walking. We also used to dye our Easter eggs with them.
Thank you for these walking/ hiking videos, I loved walking and hiking, sadly I am only able use a walker to get around. So these videos really give me a sense of wander or satisfy that wanderlust.
Me too Gray, me too. 👍
Same here. I really enjoy going on long walks with Mr. Shrimp, in settings where I couldn't possibly walk myself. Having little Eva along is an extra treat!
That makes me want to get out and enjoy more while I can. I'm grateful for what I can do, when I can. But most get out more!
@@psychedelikchameleon - make the most of every moment. I used to walk for miles down the canal paths and in the woods. You never know what fate has in store for you. Life is for living right now, just in case.
Yes, anyone who can, do so enjoy Mother Nature. Sadly I am stuck in a walker. I miss walking so.
I would love a slow tv video just on that sound if the waves over the pebbles. It sounded amazing
Will do. I planned to do that on this visit but the camera battery was too low
The sound of 'swash, and backswash' is wonderfully soporific.
Living in a big city and not having the ability to drive, I really appreciate this content. Gives me a little escape.
Lovely video of a beautiful area. You'd make a wonderful teacher, Mike. Lovely clear description and graphic about land slumping, notes on flora, and meteorological information, in an easy, relaxed style, that anyone can 'get' immediately. Brilliant.
'A Country Harvest' is a superb book - my copy is very well thumbed, and has flowers pressed in it - it was my late mum's, and she loved it. Any chance of trying some of the recipes from it on a video?
Thanks 🐟 for the lovely walk!! 🐚I am often bedridden and cannot go outside. But this is such a wonderful reminder that the world is bigger than my room. 🐝The sound of the waves 🌊was impressive, I could almost feel the spray. 🌼 And thanks for taking the trouble to explain so much, and to write all the names of the plants on screen. I like to learn about new specimens and rehearse the familiar ones. 🌷
I like how it feels like you have taken us with you and it is a tour guide moment.fantastic cliffside animation and love the scenery. Thank you!
As I watch your videos I always think what a lovely part of the world you live in, so beautiful and full of adventure. I'm sure that it's the fact that you and do put yourself in so many wonderful places. 💜💙❤️
Lol at Eva pulling the whole way, got to admire that enthusiasm dogs have, and it helps you up the hills 😅
I live in Jersey, Channel Islands and there's a lot of gorse on the cliffs - the smell when they are in full bloom is incredibly good.
It's a summery smell, coconuts.
Well that's my exercise for the day lol. Thank you for taking me with you and Jenny. So very different beach from here on the Yorkshire coast as we're all sand.
I was just thinking that I'd have difficulty keeping my balance when walking down there with a dog lead in one hand and a camera in the other when you fell. Hope you didn't land too hard. Thanks for an entertaining walk.
The grass was lovely and soft in fact, but I would have prefered to stay upright!
3 weeks ago I fell on a concrete sidewalk (no ice). Landed on my forehead. Still black and blue, swollen.
@@catslove3884That sounds awful.
@@ShellyS2060 thank you. I look like "HE-double hockey sticks".
This was weirdly effective in calming me down after a long and rough day
That sound Is really amazing!
Sitting on a beach while taking about recycling was apropos.
brilliant vid, I love these beach walks. Reminds me of walks along the beaches in Easington Colliery
I enjoy these little walks we take together 🐕🦺 It’s a cold, rainy day here in Toledo, Ohio so this is just perfect ❤
Awesome video. You are such a fountain of knowledge, they rejected the Portland waste incinerator yesterday you were exactly where the fumes smoke and smell would have gone with westerly winds
Glad it was rejected. Only a complete Philistine could have decided to build an incinerator in such an astonishingly beautiful place. There's one not far from my home. It doesn't smell or anything - but it's a huge great concrete and steel thing, completely at odds with the Suffolk countryside it sits in. One of them on Portland, would ruin it forever.
Watching Eva just living her life is a BLISS ❤
Honestly, you are amazing. You never fail to surprise me with all the things you know. Every. Single. Video. Much applause!
I was a little nervous watching you walk next to the cliff and those steps. You are braver than me. I hope you were ok after that fall. This was a great walk. I love the rain over the water and the trails. The waves looked rough I doubt anyone would swim there.
Some friends and I walked from Weymouth to Poole over a bitterly cold January weekend, it's a beautiful section of our coastline! We had planned on wild camping but bailed on the idea when we got to Lulworth range and realised we wouldn't make it across before loosing the light. Spend the evening in a lovely inn called The Countryman, in East Knighton.
Used to be a pontins in the 80s you should visit my town Dorchester had a lot of history and even a Roman town house.
I have always wondered what it used to be. It has the look of a sanitarium or some other kind of institution.
Thanks! Because of this video I have smelt gorse flowers for the first time today 😃 Gorse is a declared weed where I live but I don't think everyone is aware so it is in a number of gardens, even though we are very close to native vegetation areas. So I took the opportunity to sniff it on my walk today - would never have expected it to smell like it does!
I was longboarding down a giant hill, but I had to bail, so I jumped into the grass only to discover my foot was going right into a hole. Almost broke my leg, going at least 20 MPH.
Oof. This little trip was a case of more safety is less safe. I stepped off the muddy path onto the soft grass because the mud looked quite slippy. The top half of my body was committed to moving forward when I realised my leg wasn't coming with me to support my next step
what made you want to start doing youtube? its so unique to everything else on the platform, but yet so calming and warm feeling
Before UA-cam, I had my website, which is also a mix of various nonsense. UA-cam just became an easier way to document the nonsense than taking photos and writing text.
@@AtomicShrimp ah that's cool, I personally really enjoy you and your "quirky" projects even making some of the dishes you make myself 😅
Glad you are feeling better, thanks for the walk. Also, happy you weren't seriously hurt from that fall. Take care, be well
If you ever find yourself near Wells in Somerset, the Ebbor gorge is beautiful. A 2 minute drive past Wooky hole caves, and if you carry on to the top of the hill there’s a place where you park and have views across Somerset
Haven’t been to Ebbor gorge for years , and I only live in Glastonbury
These placenames sound really strange to me. Nice walk as always and Eva in her little jacket is so cute.
Very nice, thanks. We have lots of whin bushes near me, very salt tolerant pioneering species, the yellow leaves can make a tea.
I think that balloon shaped object was actually the remains of a Chinese spy balloon, shot down by platoon of 16 US fighter planes as a precautionary measure.
Gorse flowers not only smell wonderful, they also taste of coconut/vanilla. Can be eaten raw, but not too many as they contain a very small amount of a toxic alkaloid. Make a very nice flavouring in cordials.
Watching this video first thing of a morning is a great idea so relaxing and full of information. Amazing as always Mr Shrimp 😊
What a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining video, just the thing to watch with my morning coffee
Yes! I saw it posted last night and saved it to watch with my coffee this morning. 🙂
That fall scared me, glad you're okay! There's a place I once visited, I think on Gran Canaria or Fuerteventura, where there's this type of "pebble" beach. Except instead of pebbles it's rocks the size of footballs and the sound is much more loud and deep. Incredible place. I wish I could remember the name.
Hopefully I'm down there first week of July. Durdle Door to Lulworth Cove and a walk around Portland to the lighthouse always good 👍🏻
The fishing lure is actually a squid lure with the end spikes broken. Bit too late for them now, but lots can be caught around weymouth pleasure pier nov/dec time. That seems like a good quality one except for the broken spikes :)
I believe you, but mackerel will go for anything brightly coloured or shiny. You could probably tie a hook to a spark plug and they'd still go for it
Seems like you’ve settled in nicely down there . I’m from the north west so thanks for sharing some potential holiday / trip spots . Looks lovely 😊
Beautiful walk.... lovely to see Eva enjoying herself too ❤
Rabbit 1, Atomic Shrimp 0
This is one of my favorite landscapes.
This was nearly an episode of Shrimp in Wonderland!
Thanks for all the videos Sir, this is one of the best channel in everything!!
Lovely vid! Stuck at home with my first ever bout of covid right now, and it was good to go on a virtual ramble with you.
My first caravan holiday was at bowlease cove with my mum and dad . Took the bus in and out of Weymouth each day happy days 😊
I’m pausing the video to take a walk with my pup. Back soon. 😶
Back now. My dog and I thank you for the inspiration.
I revisited this video has we did this walk today, starting from the Riviera Hotel (which is actually still open!). There's an earlier set of steps after the second set of gates (just opposite the camp site) - much safer! It leads you to the pillbox :) We intend to do the walk over to Ringstead sometime soon.
(and the sound of the water retreating over the stones is divine!)
Great walk and very informative, thank you
All that plastic may be going to landfill, but it's still better than on the beach. Love that you care for the environment. Every little bit helps.
I will literally go for a walk out of my way to a particularly fragrant plant just to go huff the scent
ive been looking forward to another one of these videos an it didnt disapoint my heart when u fell on ur walk hope u didnt hurt ya self to badly was a interesting tib bit about people being stuck with there wellingtons being filled with water i loved looking at the surroundings on this walk thanks again for another video of your walks
I loved this walk. I got a real feeling of being with you somehow & I enjoyed your explanations. I love hearing the birdsong & waves. Yes it is an amazing sound.
We love Bowleaze Cove, it’s often very quiet. That hotel was struggling to stay open last year. Rooms could still be booked but it got very low ratings for being short staffed
Thank you for taking me to the beach, nice and restorative 😊
Thank you I live in East London and rarely leave my bedroom xx
Did you have to walk back up all of those stairs? That was a very interesting walk . I appreciate that one dandelion popping up. I would love to see one of those yellow flower bushes that smell like coconut in person.
How very british! I love to do stuff like this, near places like rutland water, although that might be a bit north for you
I would really enjoy seeing a fishing and recipe video (cook your catch, or if it's a no catch day a fish you buy on the way home). I feel your chill video style would be good for this for a one off
Really enjoyed your costal walk. Seaton (not Seatown) has a very sharply shelving beach also. As a child I went home more than once, after a visit there, with wet shorts/skirt after misjudging how far up the waves would come! Hope you are ok after your tumble.
Delightful walk out for my brain as I sit in the middle of the night caring for a friend’s slightly farty dog. Thanks for the respite.
So nice to join you on your walk by the sea. Reminds me of the Sandy Bay map on Farming Simulator. We got two inches of fresh snow yesterday.
I enjoy your little rambles along the coast. Hope you make some more soon. Have you made a visit to Tyneham village? It has a fascinating history ang makes for a great walk down to Worbarrow bay.
Thank you for this lovely walk! 💙 🌊
Talks about safety when cutting vegetables and is even known to have eaten the hottest noodles - *gets caught out by rabbit hole*
Your fall frightened me 😨 I'm so glad you made it out ok 😌
Could have been quite a different thing if that had happened near the edge of those cliffs (although the camera position made it look like I was closer to those edges than I would ever actually step)
Love these walkabouts & thanks Atomic shrimp 🦐🤗
I love the breeze ❤
Be Amazing if you could ever holiday here what a collaboration video that would make
I love going along on your walks. Eva is a real darling.
Good as ever. Thank you.
Looking at the hotel brings to mind an old tv movie I saw. I sort of expected to see Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings walking to the water.
Lovely walk, hope the fall didnt hurt anything! Thanks for sharing :)
Southwest coast walk suffered during the summer 2022 from land slides. Many paths are being pushed more in land for H&S. It is of course a natural occurrence.
You mentioning fishing made me think I’d love to see you do some fishing videos, I don’t know if you already fish, but if not it could be you teaching yourself to fish!
Oh you do fish! I just got to the end of the video where you mention your fishing bag!
Alexanders are quite populous back home in East Sussex near the coast. Can't remember the flavour exactly, but I think I've had them before.
Love the winter coat on Ava 💜
I've never heard you talk about fishing before and you're in John Dory territory around there. The Nepalese restaurant in Sandford does a great spiced one.
Seeing this video of you walking along a cliff, makes me wonder how much trouble it would be for you to film a walk along the Cliffs of Dover.
Perhaps film a visit to Dover Castle as well?
Keep on being entertaining and educational.
I'm sure Walk With me Tim did a review of that big hotel fairly recently. Such a shame if it's closed down, we're losing so many of our seaside hotels.
One cool thing about the riviera hotel was that during the first lockdown over covid it was used to house homeless people and NHS staff 😊
The way Dorset's Jurassic coast seems to be collapsing makes me wonder if Shaftesbury will be a seaside town someday..🤔🙂
Lovely to see you in Dorset.
so beautiful there
Cool thanks for sharing this video ❤❤❤
That holiday camp should be used for refugee accommodation.
10:28 Quite a stunning vista opening up.
Glad nothing but your pride was hurt. Those rabbit holes can devastate an ankle.
Uncle shrimp for your safety don't get too close to edges, i have seen many falls with so little force even none,stay .5m or 2 feet at least, depending on the angle and the composition of the ground.
Walking across that subsiding ground would have made me rather nervous. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful hike. Thank you. (Eva is a plucky little thing, isn't she?)
'C'mon, boss, I want to go smell the smells up ahead! I want to see what's over that edge! C'mon!!'
(Doggo wants more!)
Lovely video and always interesting with you .. i hope you do not mind my saying but your little dog is walking 'twice the miles of yourself and should have plenty of water on hand for her and rest ..no dirty sea puddles lol, yet it was a sure sign she is very thirsty. Please be aware of this for dogs will follow you without any signs of exhaustion until they drop. She is a little love. Being with nature is the best therapy of all even in winter and your video's are really enjoyable. 😊
OH my I hope you're ok after stepping into the rabbit hole! I think I would have turned around and went back the way I'd come!
Your dog tries to go off the cliff, mine always wants to jump into the street every time she sees a car coming. This is why leashes are so important 😤
If you keep going there are yellow crystals calcite or something like that. Also gorse flowers I believe are edible.
Very nice walk 🎉🎉
