The mix of scenery from shore to trail to town was a perfect choice. The flowers are gorgeous and just seeing the water is lovely. Stay well and safe.

    Hi Ed, as a late ( found you about 18 months ago) my elder brother ( 67 & 68) think ALL the video's you have made from the shortest to the longest whether Ed's thoughts, walks or annoyances are all marvelous- there has to be an award for what you have done.
    Clearly, latterly there may be future difficulties in doing as you wish, and we certainly realise the huge amount of time to compile each vid.
    We will miss you if you are not there, but if your suggestion of " retiring" happen then all the best.
    However how about a weekly " rant" on life?( tbd - yours or all the obseration on " normal!( yeh right) others for 5-15 mins as a compromise.
    You have uplifted our lives enormously .

    Great to see another video by you Ed. That was a lovely sunny day for it. Now whenever I see a (rare) gorgeous day I sometimes think 'is Ed out filming someplace today?' Lots of lovely views in this one, and classic ED humour. I have to say that I've not had to put up with any ads whilst watching these films, because I have Ad Block Plus on my browser. It prevents any ads from showing. I don't know if that affects the revenue of the video-maker though.....Hmmm. I wonder if Vimeo is a better platform, but then I don't know a lot about the monetary benefits of that channel. Only that it's 'posher' than YT. Well now, if you're a 'terrible snorer', you'll just need to get better at it won't you ? 😂

High pile of slag waste from Irvine's iron workings heritage but alas like many things it was levelled & re- landscaped to appear visually more appealing as. The Magnum Leisure Centre was opened in the mid 1970's ...from conversations I have had with older locals . there exist Rabbits & Hares in old mine workings /burrows etc with BLUE Fur from some kind of waste underground from a by product of iron smelting...I have never seen these blue tinged animals personally ed. But others have ....What I can confirm is the abundance of various sizes of Deer ....clearly visible looking across the old Ardeer explosives works ....hence the name AR...DEER! My late gran worked there producing cordite ..during ww2 ....& as a small annecdote ....she used to bring small pieces home to light the coal fire ....keep up your videos & I look forward to your next uploads ...& I really like the background music ...however sad I may sound ....it's poignant to remember those times ...your upload of the removal of Waverly station ticket booth particularly..reminded me of the skill sets our fore fathers & mother's possessed ....just for modernity to destruct it ..without a care at all

It's a shame that the Former Ardeer peninsula is being stripped of its natural resources..Namely sand extraction by greedy companies...who would rather make a profit over returning the area to its natural state where there are quite good examples of rare flora & fauna. The massive concrete sea wall which extends for over 3.5 km & was built I believe to protect the sand dunes from erosion & possibly even protection from possible attack from the Germans in both world ears .It would need massive investment to repair the wall which is over 30 ft tall in places ...just like your clydeside ship building stories....it's a case of once an area has served its purpose...then the previous tenants ( namely ici & Nobel's ) just moved out with no thought into the future of the massive site ...as they had made their billions . A similar story could be compared to the SHELL OIL (Shell Mex refinery) at Ardrossan ....that also potentially shortened the world war 2 by producing aviation fuel for the Spitfire & Hurricanes etc ...but due to the toxicity left behind ...not many companies however even with good intentions won't pay for the clear up ..imagine Grangemouth closing down ..& the after effects that would bring ..Hunterston A + B Nuclear sites legacy will be to store all the depleted plutonium etc for 300 years I have been told .

    Watch your videos mostly for your dry wit and pleasing personality but enjoy the content greatly. Would be tragic if you stopped. Maybe get sponsorede by pie and beer companies and reduce the strenuous walks.

      Many thanks. I like the sound of pie and beer sponsorship, and will certainly cut down on distances. I'll be around for a good while yet.

      I got it wrong with the ads. UA-camrs will still be able to choose whether or not to have ads mid-video. As another comment said, with UA-cam Premium you can turn the ads off, which sounds like a great idea.
