    Tim, have enjoyed your current work, and decided to go back to the start. Just watched the sleeper train from Helsinki, so this is a stark contrast. Anyway, here I am, an elderly lady in Texas who has terminal cancer. Have lived in Europe and Asia, and traveled many places. Thought my bucket list was all ticked until I got hooked in your vlogs. Longyearben, the pyramids at Giza, the luxury hotels in the Middle East, the crane hotel in the Netherlands,
    ..such a joy to watch you experience them. You are very relatable and since I will never leave my little corner of this world again, it gives me great pleasure to see you find out what is happening out there ! You think you are producing content for our enjoyment, and you are, but going for a “walk” with you gives me great peace and happiness. Bless you and your family from Marti in South Texas

    Thank you for posting this. It brings back wonderful memories of childhood holidays in a caravan at California Cliffs in the early 80s. As children we'd get excited as the car turned into 'Rottenstone Lane' towards the entrance to the park. We used to have to use communal showers as old vans didn't have them back then. It was a real old-school style holiday with camp hosts and professional(ish) cabaret entertainment every night. Even had to close at 10.30pm on Sunday nights. Does anyone else remember camp hosts 'Wally & Charlie' or 'Big Tim Laine'? And there was a kids room with proper entertainment too.
    It's sad to see the amusement arcade turned into town houses. I spent hours there on the machines and the bingo table. A meal at the Cali Tavern was always a treat, and the beer garden in the summer was lovely (as a kid with a bottle of coke, while the adults drank beer). Good times!

    Beautiful, we are so privileged to live in this part of the country. We used to have a caravan on the California Cliffs holiday park years ago, absolutely loved it. Great video, fabulous weather for April. Shame everywhere is on lock down though, but it does give a different perspective on things. Normally the place would be heaving with holiday makers, but everything is so quiet. I do feel for the business owners though. Lets hope the holiday makers return and make the place vibrant again.

    At 1 min 36 you pass a cafe (and fish and chip shop)where I worked in the summer for Neville and Greta Brown (who leased this place in the summer, but owned the main chip shop and Briars Cafe on the Ormesby Rd opposite the holiday camp). It was fantastically busy here in 1978-81, and I remember vividly trying to close at midnight, and desperate people banging on the door desperate for anything - "anything.. even crispy bits mate!!" Each week a different part of the country would close their factories, and you would have a different accent to try and understand - but great characters and great fun. Crazy memories. Anyone remember Eric Stewart who ran the bingo and amusements in California camp? I worked there in 1975.
