    J. Arthur Rank created "The Rank Organisation", he died in Winchester in 1972 at the age of 84. Edgar Wallace created King Kong. Born in Greenwich, London and died in Beverley Hills, California at 56 years old. Great to see Matthew again, you get on well together. Lovely!

    Hearing about the pine trees on the tumulus solved a mystery for me. All great fun too.

    I was born in Redhill and my late father used to buy his petrol from Gregory's garage at Reigate Heath garage.
    I've heard of The Skimmington Castle but didn't know where it was, I do now!
    I've been going to Priory Park since I was a baby, lovely place for everyone to run around and let off steam.
    Thanks Matthew and Richard for showing us The Greensand Way

    Matthew - always a great source of local knowledge, had it not been for the leafless trees it could almost have been a mid-summer's day from the viewer's perspective. Very watchable and very enjoyable video ..... 10/10 !

    Great video this morning Richard to go with my cuppa. Interesting fact is that the gong struck by J Arther Rank in the opening sequence wasn't where the sound came from, they were just props. Was told this at school many many years ago. Just looked it up and the sound came from a real one struk by a James Blades.

    Great video as always! Know the area very well as Miles was born & grew up in Reigate & we lived nearby before moving to Sussex. In fact re the Rank family, Miles’ late grandmother was good friends with J. Arthur Ranks’ children when she was a child 😊

    Well done Richard doing your best keeping to the paths around the golf course. Interesting your comment about the dog walker not seemingly bothering about the golfers. I was a member at Reigate Heath GC and while it is a fabulous course and one of my favourites the dog walkers are a problem. They will stand in the middle of the fairway and have a chat with another dog walker knowingly stopping golfers from hitting. As I said, great course and friendly members and lovely terrain but the dog walkers do rather ruin things a bit !

    So off you went in your van to visit the trees on Matthew's Tumuli...alternatively you could've been Fjording for the Pines...if you'd taken Julia you could've mentioned the beautiful plumage...sorry mate...visited my son-in-law yesterday and he got me into a Python frame of mind...thought I ought to say I'm still with you...just slightly less sane as the years pass and the grandchildren grow into answering back!
