A thoroughly nice walk. Private roads are so often the dwelling of light entertainers. I was waiting for you to be seen off by a gameshow host with a deep tan and pastel leisure wear, pointing at his No Psychogeographers sign.
ha, there used to be so many in that area, my Dad often did work on their gardens. Ozzy Osborne lived round there too (probably still does)
"Don't think about the destination....just go where you want to go".
Thanks as always John.
Thanks for watching Arthur
I'm still catching up on your older walks, John. Growing up in Uxbridge, right on the border with Bucks, this area is like home to me. You mention your dad was a gardener around here. Me too. I worked for Denham Homes & Gardens, in the early 1970s, and covered a lot of ground all round these parts. You really captured the magical quality of the topography, in this film. Thank you.
i do enjoy the ancient sites, john, thank you
Thank you John for another interesting walk and a part of thr country I don't know.As always I thank you for allowing me on your walk and enjoying it vicariously.Looking forward to the next
thanks for coming along Humble. The next walk is a bit of an epic in quite different terrain
Another beautiful video as always John. Love listening to you as its always Magestic just listening them all.
Thanks that’s very kind of you
A real pleasure to watch this latest video of yours John, really enjoyed it, hope the pint went down well.
Thanks Theo, yes had a lovely pint of Rebellion brewed nearby in Marlow
Thank you John, Your videos are so relaxing and calm.
thanks John
Your videos are so relaxing, such a tonic ; the beautiful countryside, the imagery / connotations, and the music.
thanks Tim - there's something about walking that calms the mind
Yet another enthralling stroll. Many thanks John.
thanks for coming along Boyd
Such a pretty walk - thank you for sharing that special place with us.
thanks for watching Roxy - real pleasure to share this
Fantastic walk John, thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for sharing, take care.
Thanks Darrell
That was really interesting to follow with you through that amazing landscape (and around the hillfort) back to your past and memories and reflections etc.
thanks Paul
Thank you John love walks what you do real pleasure.
Thanks Gareth
Thanks for taking us on your walk great time on Your Own Memory Lane
So much to see and experience SMILES
ah, thanks C Gj
Great video, a joy to watch, and it is great to share your enthusiasm for Britain's history so often overlooked.
Thanks very much Ian
Thanks for sharing this, John.
My pleasure Mary thanks for watching
What a really wonderful walk...I agree lots of gorgeous, interesting scenery...beautiful! Music was lovely! Thank you for the walk John, and also special thanks to your wife...loved the advice she gave you, glad you listened 😊...take care!
thanks k - yes I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful, wise wife
After mentioning I’d followed your Wycombe walk yesterday, up popped this walk this morning 😃, really in my neck of the woods now as I’ve often crossed Littleworth Common with my dogs, on a loop up from Burnham Beeches. But I have to go visit that camp now 😄 thanks for another excellent vlog 👍👍
Well that was 24 minutes of my life well spent - I loved your personal touch, your exchanges with your Dad and what a wife, a rare beast who tells her loved one to just go out there and enjoy themselves - this was a vlog worth making and I thank your for it.
thanks so much Martin, yes I'm very fortunate to be married to such a kind, wise woman. I really enjoyed making this video
I love the evocative story of your dad using the church bells to cover the sound of him and Mike shooting pheasants and pigeons.
Thank you - I never get tired of him telling me that story
loved it as allways
Love your videos, such a pleasure to travel along beside you.....
Thanks Simon
Lovely walk, beautiful country. Makes me think of Samuel Rockall ,wood bodger from the Chilterns, featured in the English Countryman by H J Massingham.
I enjoyed that so much, thank you.
my pleasure brY an - thanks for watching
Wow what epic video and which will always be memorable for not only for your dear self but for the likes of me.
Thanks so much Grandmaster
I just discovered your videos , I really enjoy your adventures. thank you for sharing.
thanks for watching Marlene
Ah cheers buddy a good walk for sure
Thanks David - I think this one will stay with me for a while
Great walk thanks
Thanks 4thEye
John as always serene and sublime thanks for having us along. Coincidentally, I've just moved from The Chilterns back to my native Yorkshire, and are now revisiting walks and vistas from my childhood also. I can't get over how memories emerge as if they are contained in the landscape itself, awaiting rebirth as we stumble over our smaller footsteps. And to answer your comment in the film, I don't feel you were ever mawkish. But this episode was moving: so keep moving, despite the knee. ;)
thanks Keith, and I quite agree that somehow memories become embedded in the landscape awaiting our return
Love this video, thanks John, I know it's an historic one but Wooburn is my home so lovely to see, thought you might have ended up at the olde belle for a cheeky pint, it's just off the path from Wooburn Park in Wooburn Town,
Thanks Gabriella- that’s wonderful, so many happy childhood memories of growing up In Wooburn. My family go back hundreds of years there. I ended up in The Steps
What is nice walk - was it just me but there seemed to be even more beautiful scenery than usual, especially the white blossoms and some of the woodland shots - would make beautiful photos. Thanks for that excursion.
thanks Lorraine. I think the Chilterns are particularly beautiful, but then I am biased
Thank you John for taking on your memory lane walk. Lots of interesting facts. I am surprised at how many rules there are on sign post 🤣. Ioved map work & the yellow arrow 😊.
Thanks Kat - yes so many things you can do wrong in the countryside. I thought this one needed a bit of extra map work
@@JohnRogersWalks The extra map work was very much appreciated, thank you.😊
HI john, great video...next time your Stourbridge way plz pay a visit to wychbury camp..look it up .
thanks for the tip Richard, will take a look, I need to do some Midlands walks
Dear John ,
Lyn and I thoroughly enjoyed your video walk from Gerrards Cross to Wooburn Green. I too have great memories of those areas.
I think my Cousin lives in Wooburn Green and I also have fond memories of Gerrards Cross. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was shown at the local cinema in Gerrards Cross and I went to see it there. ..... did you know that Paul Robeson ...the famous singer from the 1940s and 50s bought a house there.
Thanks once again
Kind regards
Dave and Lyn ..... from Bundaberg Australia.
It’s a great area Dave, now I remember the cinema, we used to go to the one in Beaconsfield sometimes
A really magical walk- one of my favourites of all your walks. I have walked a couple of sections of the Chiltern Way recently- videos of the walks are on my channel. I think I mentioned it before, but I think you'd enjoy a visit to Medmenham Iron Age Fort in the South Chilterns.
thanks for that Voxley - although I've been through Medmenham a few times I don't believe I've visited the hillfort so will certainly add to the list
I have a good walk not far from there John, it takes in lots of spectacular views of bucks. It’s a nice easy walk if you fancies to come along with me and the dog.
that sounds great 3-4-3 - I wonder where it is
John Rogers I start in Loudwater heading up to penn through a nature reserve, open fields and woodland. Coming out by the crown, for a pit stop. then from there more fields and woodland until penn street and a stop at the squirrel for a pit stop. More woodland and fields then back to Loudwater maybe via the royal standard. It's a walk for a lovely day and plenty to see.
@@3-4-3football3 sounds great
Hello John, it's Rob. UA-cam won't let me comment as MeTheRob any more (don't ask).
Sunday teatime wouldn't be the same without a John Rogers walk.
Gerrards Cross Common - heh. Must be the only thing in Gerrards X that is common.
Never seen Bulstrode Camp despite living nearby for most of my childhood - that was interesting.
Drove a lorry for a fencing firm in Hedgerley in the 70s . Used to drink in the Brick Mould pub - long gone. Nostalgia eh ?
It’s a funny one Rob, not sure I’d been there either except for vague childhood memory. You must have crossed paths with the old man at some point, in was in the same game and played darts in all those pubs. I’ll ask him about the Brick Mould
@@JohnRogersWalks There was this old arse who used to sit in his own corner of the Brick Mould. It anyone asked how he was, he would answer with the same quip : don't you worry about me, I pay someone two and six a week to worry about me.
there always seemed to be those characters - one fella my Dad knew used to put his false teeth in his pint when he went to the toilet
Thanks for another great addition John. Something that has been on my mind for a while is what are the technicalities of doing the filming on these walks. Do you do all the filming yourself or is there a camera person with you? If on your own, how do you film yourself whilst walking without us seeing what the camera is held by. What holds the camera?
I ask for those of us wondering how to make one of these in our own areas.
Thanks Julian. I do all the filming myself with a very simple set up - I use a Panasonic GX80 which has great image stabilisation (in-body + lens) and I hold the camera with a mini-tripod (Manfrotto Pixi-Mini) - that's it. For the shots of me walking away I just plonk the camera on the ground and walk past it - here you see me returning to pick it up, which I usually edit out ua-cam.com/video/dchuMvM-c1U/v-deo.html
You'll notice there are fewer of these shots towards the end of the walk as I get tired and don't want to walk the extra yards
Great video, and thanks for the book recommendation. You've yet to steer me wrong, and Patrick Keiller's View from the Train is in my library's system. Finished Burke's Outer Circle shortly after watching this video and before heading out on a 7 hour Sunday walk in the drizzle (Burke really does hate Ilford, doesn't he? -- I don't know his work well enough to determine whether there was something wrong with the Ilford of his day or if his feet were hurting.)
thanks David and you won't be disappointed with the Keiller book - have you listened to the podcast I did a while back where we followed Burke's footsteps to Ilford. Although he hated the place I liked the way he rated Valentines one of the finest parks in London podcasts.resonancefm.com/archives/5658
@@JohnRogersWalks Thanks: That was great. I'll reread Burke's chapter on Ilford with an imposed "psychogeographic sneer" to see how Nick P's theory holds up. And I did not realize that the poets Ruth Pitter, Kathleen Raine, and Denise Levertov were all born in the same place. It does the booksellers of Ilford no good, but my wife and I have 15-20 books by those writers, at least.
Someone has probably mentioned since that show aired, but there is a Biograph Theater in Chicago. It's most famous as the place where mobster John Dillinger was gunned down in the 1930s. Still in operation.
John, compilation of passed underpaths would be interesting, I think.
I think I have to do it now Victor
