I love Cornwall. It's the only place in the World where I don't mind the wind and rain because they just add to the dramatic and tempestuous craggy nature of the coastline. Incidentally, my little brother also fell down while trying to climb the cliffs (sic) at Polly Joke beach. He was only about 6 at the time.
This is my first Cool Dudes Walking Club video. I loved the views, the lore and legends, and the question of the day (no idea whether I would switch lives, TBH). Many thanks for for creating it.
Hey Matek ! Great video again. Cornwall is so beautiful. My second favourite place after the Isle of Wight. The North coast where you were is very rugged with some stunning beaches. No, I definitely wouldn't swap my life. Money isn't everything, & certainly won't make you happy. I'd rather be happy, healthy & keeping my head above water. Love your videos mate. 😃👍
My memory of St. Agnes is tripping over a tuft of grass and landing flat on my face twisting my ankle in the process. Would I have swapped my life at that particular point in time? Probably. The fella with the poo bag is probably going into the Guinness Book of Records for the longest Pooh holding walk ever. If ever there was a competition for Longest Pooh Holding Bag Walks he would most certainly win as most of the other contestants would just decorate trees and bushes with them (as they usually do ) Well done to him. Hope there's more of Cornwall to come Marek!... x J x
@@cdwc 🪶🪶🪶 These are Gus's feathers. He's left them just for you on my windowsill. He's determined to make you like him. They were the nearest emoji I could find to a P....n. I daren't say the word. Although I did find a 🦃and a 🐦Not quite the same though really is it?! x J x
Nah, couldn’t swap lives... what’s the point in all that money if you don’t have the people u love around you to enjoy it with? 🤷🏻♀️ (I wouldn’t say no to swap for a couple weeks tho! 😁 Life-swap vacation) Thanks for another great vid, feel like they keep getting better n better! Infact watching this makes me feel proud to be British, seeing all the beautiful scenery, hearing about the history of places, and the folklore - all presented by our very own national treasure (yes, you!) 👏🏼💕
Superb opening music & spectacular views. I've never been to St Agnes before but I visited Botallack tin mines a few years ago. Question - I'le be different & say yes, I'd swap, but certainly not for the money & I'd devote my time to different kinds of voluntary work. (If helping people is allowed) & forget fast cars & the high life, bicycles & beautiful Countryside & Sea views for me. I really like your questions, they do make us all think!
@@cdwc That's really good to hear! Please make a video if you do. I'm saving up & keeping my eye on the price of the Decathlon Triban RC500, great for Touring & Bikepacking & has very good youtube reviews.🌞🚴
Nice one cool dude! Such a dramatic landscape, those abandoned mines are so evocative... Inspired by your cool dude self, my brother and I did Walk the Wight yesterday. It was fun, painful and super foggy over the top of Tennyson Down! We scraped in around the 10hr mark. Thanks for showing us the way via your fantastic videos! PS When did it become socially acceptable to play loud music as you walk along? Came across a few people like that yesterday. Didn't care for that kind of behaviour, but no doubt I'm in the minority...
Fantastic. Well done cool dude. I agree with you completely about the loud music. It defeats the whole point of getting out into nature. That was the one thing that put me off 'Walk the Wight', all the noisy people. I would rather do it on a day just by myself.
I wouldn’t swap because I’d miss my kids too much. And millionaires’ kids always seem troubled, so I wouldn’t trust other Erin to do a good job. I really liked all the ocean, cliff and sea views!
The story of Bolster sounds like a wonderful opportunity for a modern classic script to be written for TV Marek. You would need a giant though. Do you know one that would be able to act out the final scene of bleeding out? Great video though, especially the music.
Alright! Great walk. My dad was a minor and my mom is a redhead. He always said 'you cant trust that woman'. Now i know why. Also, Your friends dog looks like a goat. Keep on up at it
Cornwall? Tick. Dogs? Tick. Perilous cliff walks? Tick. With regards to the poo-bag scenario, you forget that some less responsible dog owners walk part of the way, before flinging it in the nearest bush! (Don't judge me - I don't own a dog...)
Some good views on this one Cool Dude. Respect to your friend for carrying his dog's caca for so long but surely if there is anywhere it's permitted to allow the poo to stay in the wild it's a place like that. Lastly, I'm not sure who is more hardcore the Cornish miners or the surfers.
Hey Marek, that walk looked amazing! No I wouldn't swap lives but I would have a bloody good chat with my twin and ask them why they wanted to swap lives.i'm presuming that if you say no, they bugger off into the distance but I'd ask them if they wanted a piss up first. Stay cool.
I just like to say thank you to you,i just finished walk the wight 27 odd miles,i made the mistake of doing a trial 27 miles at a pace of 18 per minute a week before the wight.i ended up in a wheel chair lol.but i watched your walk the wight video about 10 times loved it so,and your un pc humour cracks me up.Only thing i didnt like about walking the wight ,is everybody got the same medal?? debs xx ps as we cockneys say your a diamond 💎.
Yes. I’d swap lives. I’d secretly set up my family and friends so they also had a good life. I mean, you could die tomorrow. Grab every opportunity for adventure. 😊
Alright dude have now worked out to comment now !! Great stuff Aggy is my favourite place in the world ( driftwood spars is an ace pub and the aggy hotel
If a twin brother said that it would just add to all the other questions I already have for him, like how come no one told me about you and why haven't we met until now and mate, are you ok and who brought you up??
Would never swap. I am happy with my life, my friends and my family ❤ Walking in Cornwall also contributes to great things in my life. I have walked there, past Wheal Coates - in a day of mizzle - which actually enhanced the dramatic feeling. And I also ascended St. Agnes Beacon. Great area 👍😊 Thank you for sharing 😊
The problem with your question is it doesn’t translate here well… in most places in Australasia if you own a small property and/or buy take away coffee more than once a day you are probably already a millionaire if not multiple millionaire. Average house price in NZ is a million for a pretty small house or 1 bedroom flat. The average Kiwi family has a multi million dollar home and probably has a holiday bach or investment property and buys take away coffee several times a day. So it’s unlikely you would swap everything and everyone you know so you could buy another frothy coffee a day… there is a limit to how much caffeine you can drink a day.
I have just googled it, and it's £1 to two New Zealand dollars so you would only need half a million. I drink two cups of coffee every morning, but I would make it at home to save money.
@@cdwc now if you’d posed the question would you like to swap your life for a life time supply of strawberry laces. I’d almost consider it. I had a dream where I had weaved an outfit out of them and I sat around and nibbled my sleeves all day. Was wonderful.
A seven second deep mine shaft might freak me out if I think about it for too long. Still, I suppose it's better than the dropped stone being thrown back out at you. Nice to see there's now over 8k Cool Dudes 👍🏻
Always good to start a walk with a cheery, pick-me-up story.... 😅😅😅. Cracking looking walk, Cool Dude. I love the old mines in Cornwall. Down again this summer, may have to head that way. 🎉🎉🎉 CD #123
That question feels very like 'The Scapegoat' by Daphne Du Maurier (apt given her connection to Cornwall). I would like to seem like a nice person but I would definitely consider it, especially as I don't have any dependents and in Du Maurier's imagining the person swapped with was an absolute dick and the usurper was nice and a much better fit for the people in their life. On a totally separate note, for those of us who are data-focused, it would be great to know if the kids were old enough to count properly and what the length of their pause was between numbers (e.g. did they use the elephant system?). Loving the Cornwall vids. If you like the West Country I'd encourage you to one day visit the Bristol area if you haven't already, there are some excellent walks and the city itself has some interesting ghost stories.
The question is totally ripped off from 'The Scapegoat', I should have mentioned it. I agree that the person the bloke swapped with was a bit of a dick. I did not enjoy the book as much as I hoped, as I thought the idea was a bit difficult to sustain.
There's been some bad days I'm certain I would've swapped my twin's life; but overall, I'd continue with my own. Money's nice, but giving up the people I love would be far too steep a price to be just another bellend in a Porsche. Beautiful walk Thoroughly enjoyed your Vivaldi at the end.
I actually fell over a cliff when I was 7/8. It was the Branscombe to Beer cliff path and my family accidentally followed the 'old' path that was super narrow and had a huge vertical drop beside it (the new path was further up the hill it turned out). Trying to keep up with my parents I tripped on a tree root and fell over the edge, fortunately to be caught in a huge bramble bush. My parents were able to pull me up and other than being covered in scratches I was fine. Needless to say we went a different way back.
On a walk last week I noticed a dog walker had tied a (full) poo bag to the harness of the dog that had presumably produced the contents. Yeah dog, carry your own dumps! Also, did you visit Goonbell? Noticed it on the map at the start so just wondering if it was worthy of your mildly amusing place-name collection
Ooh, the area looks stunning!
Very pretty even on a miserable day.

Incidentally, my little brother also fell down while trying to climb the cliffs (sic) at Polly Joke beach. He was only about 6 at the time.
The paths were just far enough away from the cliffs for me not to start getting dizzy. Perfect!
Beautiful scenery.

Nice walk. Love the old tin mines. Will there be any paintings going up.
I did not have time, will do one for the next video.
Nice book 😁
Please tell me you created one of your lovely drawings/paintings whilst there?
I did not have time, but will do some shortly.
Perfect Video for a Sunday :3

I wouldn't swap- I've nearly finished painting a big warhammer army. Also, kids and wife etc.
That is a lifetime of work!
Nice 1 mini Marek enjoyed the football
I am glad. I will have to start making ones with football shirts soon, but he can only support Norwich City. :king;

The sound of the waves is very soothing. I think subconsciously my breathing adopts the same sort of pace so it feels calming.
I know the feeling, more connected to the environment around you. It’s good
I’m offended that you used “Mine shaft”.
Everybody knows it’s German for penis
Would not swap for money, but would be seriously tempted by a healthy body.
That is a very good point cool dude.
To be fair, on a cold day, a (securely tied) bag of dog poop makes a rather effective hand warmer.
I am going to start making gloves that can utilise the warmth.
@@cdwc a veritable merchandising goldmine!
The story of Bolster sounds like a wonderful opportunity for a modern classic script to be written for TV Marek. You would need a giant though. Do you know one that would be able to act out the final scene of bleeding out? Great video though, especially the music.
Alright! Great walk. My dad was a minor and my mom is a redhead. He always said 'you cant trust that woman'. Now i know why. Also, Your friends dog looks like a goat. Keep on up at it
Please tell me you indulged in a Hedgehog ice cream when at Chapel Porth beach - ice cream covered in clotted cream and dunked in hazelnuts 😋
I did not know about this magical ice cream! What a tragedy.
Cornwall? Tick.
Dogs? Tick.
Perilous cliff walks? Tick.
With regards to the poo-bag scenario, you forget that some less responsible dog owners walk part of the way, before flinging it in the nearest bush!
(Don't judge me - I don't own a dog...)
There were no bushes so it would have to be off a cliff. Imagine being on the beach and being hit by a dog poo bag at speed.
I love walking paths right along the sea.😊🌊
It is the best.
I’m living in Jerusalem for about 6 months and your films fill me with yearning for the motherland.
I am afraid the sad news is you are not allowed to come back.
I went to a sheesha bar and my ticker has been a bit funny since

Great walk CD. I am sure that one day you will be in the Folklore book but hopefully your arch nemesis sunglasses Marek won't be in there with you.
Great walk, always love your video's. Your friends dog is very cute. I don't think id like some of those cliff path's 😮.
Yes the dog Emer is fantastic. I like whippets.

Wouldn't swap, would miss my family and friends far to much. Would I still be allowed to be a member of Cool Dudes?
Yes cool dude.
