Today we got round to watching the latest John Rogers film. One comes out every week, normally on Sunday night. They're generally walks around parts of London, or round the countryside around London. I find them quite addictive. He's very informative and good company with it. I usually arm myself with a hot mug of real coffee and a couple of segments from the week's Terry's Chocolate Orange.
This isn't this weeks film - it's one he released a couple of weeks ago, which I particularly liked. There are hours of videos on his channel. His adventures take in Epping Forest, the Chilterns, Boudicca's Obelisk, the lost rivers of London, exploring the edgelands... Loads to watch. He's getting so well-known that occasionally, on his most recent walks, he bumps into a fan!
Sounds just the thing to watch while on the treadmill, I shall look him up.
ReplyDeleteQuite possibly. I've been known to watch him while sat on my exercise bike!
DeleteThank you. I really enjoyed that as visited some places I know as well as lots of new ones. Will watch some of his other walks. Better than tv at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about it being better than TV! When people make programmes off their own bat it often can be. I suspect there is quite a lot out there on the internet that is. It's just finding it.
DeleteThat looks a good series to watch. I used to walk some of those areas years ago when I was a student in London and I still visit the Lea valley and Epping Forest from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI used to live in London. When I did, my friends and I did quite a lot of walking - we walked the Ridgeway for example. However, we only dimly perceived the potential of urban walking. We did fantasize about walking across London East to West, more or less following the Thames, but never got round to it.
