Completely agree. KZread channels can typically take years to get a decent size audience. They are doing very well. But it also takes years to establish, With working 40 plus hours per week, cooking food & living our life’s, making videos as well is very demanding. I’m a HGV driver who does 45 hours work in just 3 days ! On average over 60 hours, come the weekend I want to relax Western Chapland makes videos once every three weeks. & gets loads of views. Your videos are the type of videos that appeals to mature adults, & some are discovering KZread slowly. The youngest KZread views want cars, & burnout videos & dumb stuff. But 80,000 subs is a great number. Personally actually putting stickers around on ‘public foot paths is a great way to get more views, perhaps it’s not a bad idea after all Paul !

How do you know?

Pssh, regular schedules are wildly overrated anyway :) But seriously - this sounds like a great move P&R. The most important thing is that you keep enjoying making videos, so do whatever you need to do to keep it that way, whether that means every 10 days, 2 weeks, or longer. And if the videos have been this good when you're rushing them, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do when you have more time!

Unfortunately I can't afford to join as a Patreon member, but I will continue to look forward to your excellent videos. If I remember correctly this channel was the first or one of the first I subscribed to. Looking forward to more of your work. Please do not burn yourselves out. All the best.

You guys are a fantastic couple with a rare talent, you engage, you inform, you entertain and, in no small measure, you captivate, Rebecca is the perfect foil to Paul, beautiful and so animated, you’ll always have a follower in me

Quality over quantity; sadly the YT algorithm doesn’t understand this concept, as it hits their advertising revenue, but like many of your subscribers I’ll be here waiting for the amazing content that you love to create… so thank you.

hello again Paul and Rebecca , i loved the proposal story lol , so sweet , also loved the pictures , thanks for sharing with us guys , sorry but at the moment i cant afford Patreon but if things change then i will , great video as always guys 😊😍

@@pwhitewick thank you

Love that i found your channel! What is important is do what you guys need to do to make videos the way you want and feel happy with! Great story of your proposal! Cheers and take care!

Paul (and Rebecca), what a wonderful story of your engagement! Thanks for sharing that. Loving the channel and content, especially as I'm a Brit living in Canada. i miss the UK countryside, and your channel helps with that, as well as teaching me so much about it. Thank you.

Loved the story about your proposal, thank you for sharing. Look forward to the videos as and when you are able to make them. Take care in the mean time 👍

Thank you for sharing the story of your proposal! I'm a bit broke to sign up (still paying off a divorce and all) but I regularly check my subscribed channels activity so should catch wherever y'all post

What an adorable way to propose! ❤ I am looking forward to see what your passions will bring for the future!

A wonderful story and I know that bench so well. It really is so beautiful up there 😊

For now my budget prevents me from committing money -- but I am a subscriber and love your content *ON YOUR TIMETABLE* -- take your time and do what you need to do for you -- what you can share with us is always a blessing! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter. Aengus. We appreciate your support.

Take your time with the videos. I will be here when they come out. I'm sure most of your subscribers will. You cover a lot of subjects in my local area and I am always learning. Keep up the good work

Thanks, your video stories are wonderful; you have brought happiness and knowledge to so many people.

Totally understand the pressure of doing things regularly - I do some little talks on ETCS (railway cab signalling) and I do them as and when I feel like it - sometimes a whole series in a few days but sometimes a couple of weeks about. So, do what is best for you because I look forward to your videos whenever they appear.

Please don’t lose your love of making these videos. Your enthusiasm for the things that you share bubbles out of each of your wonderful presentations. You are two of the best!!!

really enjoy your videos, more than happy to wait and watch them as they are posted. More important you both enjoy what you are doing without any pressure. very best wishes, see you in the next one!

Looking forward to your next video - doesn't matter when it comes out out just so long as I know you haven't got got unnecessarily stressed making it. Keep up the good work.

It is so important to enjoy doing these sorts of things, and it’s so important to be honest. Really appreciate you keeping strong on both of those things! Thank you for everything you do! I will still be here whenever you post a video 👌

My personal #1 Rule for my silly Gaming channel is 'No Stress'. Hard to do that though, the stress sneaks up on you. I'll look forward to your videos whatever the frequency! THANKS! BTW Paul - way to go on the proposal & the pics are awesome!

Only discovered your channel at the end of 2022 and working my way through your videos (just got to the end of 2020) whilst watching the new ones as they are released. I would still watch if only once a month. Should be something for you to enjoy doing. If you haven't been to Aberfoyle in Scotland, the car park was the station. The last time I was there you could still see the turntable edging stones in the undergrowth and there was the remains of a buffer stop.

A wonderful lovely story. A bit of history I was happy to hear about. Your second proposal, I'm positive anybody watching your channel will say yes to. Thanks, have a life you enjoy, and take care.

Paul just loved the effort you went to, to propose 💕💕 Love your content /enthusiasm / effort and understand the pressure which then takes the fun out of it, so will join up and look forward to whenever you show up as I know it will be informative, entertaining and just plain interesting.

Love you both and have enjoyed watching you guys, with that said I have to admit that I have not tuned in for a while. I've had my own personal health issues to deal with so I have missed a lot. Funny enough I was just saying 2 days ago that I was going to do just that, get caught up, and today getting ready to do so I saw this video. Needless to say I was really itching to click and hear some awesome news. I love your proposal story, and like everyone else who has watched, I understand the channel situation and will try and help. Take care you both, and I am now off to get caught up.

What a wonderful romantic gesture! Those of us who love your output will be happy to see it as and when it is ready.

Thanks you two for what you do . I love watching your videos and learning from them as well . I walk the old railways here in Norfolk ( and we have some stunners ! ) , but not in the cold and rain like you guys sometimes do ! Keep well and safe and always put your health and welfare first. Michael

Great story. Gonna be an "oooooh" when the notification pops up when I least expect it.

Wonderful story and just shows how much you guys live each other and have made the right decision. ❤

Well done on making a sensible choice which will help both you and your viewers. I started watching after the collab with Geoff and Vicki. Going down to an ad-hoc schedule every two to three weeks or so means I'll keep watching.

You were one of the first channels I subscribed to and I have just clicked my first ever bell on your channel so I don't miss your uploads. Sundays won't be quite the same but I would hate you to get burned out by the process as your energy and enthusiasm are what makes your channel what it is! I'll really look forward to getting my first notification of your latest upload and hope to someday become a channel member.

That was a sweet story about the proposal…it sure beats mine! As for the video output, I think you’re on the right track (pun intended). If you’re not enjoying it then it won’t be as good as you’d like and that’s a vicious cycle that feeds itself. I can only speak for myself but I’d sooner wait for the video and you be happy with it and happy in yourselves, too. Ultimately everyone wins. All the best! 👍🏻

Guys you do a great job. I only found you a few months ago (probably as a result of watching the time team classics) and this only popped up in the last couple of days. I really appreciate your effort and enthusiasm. Several people I have watched tried to keep up the high frequency and not well, one who was quite prolific has now all but vanished. I would rather see you carry on delivering quality every few weeks than crash and burn, to the detriment of your health and/or relatiionship. Glad you picked up on the burn out before it got oout of hand. 😊

Thank you for the content so far. Love your videos and the hard work you put in.❤ Loved the proposal story too, very cute! I will think about Patreon...by the way would you ever consider a live event/walk? I love abandoned history...look after yourselves. .

Notification is ON! Love your videos--indeed I understand making it because you love doing it vs it being work! Enjoy relaxing & breathing, and I'm sure it will turn out as well as your work at the bench in a tux!!

Looking forward to your future videos! It's important to enjoy what you do.

You are both doing the right thing by easing off. The quality of the videos and your enthusiasm for making them will certainly suffer if the main aim is to get one completed every week. All of your videos are amazing and I for one don't mind a longer wait for the next one.

That's a lovely story❤. As gar as the channel what ever you do we will be with you.

How romantic. Thanks for sharing that. Hope you are more relaxed and happier now that you have got a frequency that fits your life better

Keep yourselves right and do what you need to do. The videos are so good and a lovely proposal story.

I'm here, I'm a long-time subscriber, and I will watch your content no matter when it comes out because I know creator health is more important than chasing the KZread algorithm, that's why it's great that things like Patreon exist. Mazel Tov and thanks for sharing this wonderful story 🙂

Folks, your videos are fab always but you've got to do what you got to do. Unfortunately I won't be able to sign up to Patreon but I will look forward as always to the new videos! I only found you guys when I had a spell in hospital in October so I have plenty from your past I can catch up on. Loved the story of the proposal and it's another top video. Keep up the good work.

Love what you do, been a Patreon member since I don’t know when. You do what you feel is best for your health. The videos on discord add some perspective you don’t see here sometimes, so worth watching!

When it's ready is fine, just avoid the burn out !

Got the notification bell always on, really really enjoy your videos always be here whenever you put one out 👍👍

Definitely going to sign up to the patreon eventually. I've always supported your content ever since I found your stuff some years back. Despite being a comment lurker, I always watch your videos and you guys are doing a fantastic job so you deserve my support 100%

I can't afford to sign up, but all you need to know from me is I'm subscribed, notification's are on, I watch the adverts and the whole video! When you drop a video I'll be ready and waiting, you do what works for you and remember we'll still be here.

Given the thoroughness of you research and aspirations on quality, it makes sense to ease off the throttle a bit. Best wishes

Happy to watch your videos whenever you publish them. I understand the burn out (I put out 3 a week but not with the stories like you guys - it can be such a pressure but until my views increase significantly I'll stick at it). Looking forward to your next epic!

Keep on doing what you do, whenever. The notification button is on in anticipation 🙂

Whenever content you put content out I am grateful for as it is always so interesting and worth the wait. 😃

This is a ridiculously fascinating channel, and there are plenty of back editions to dip into. So do what you need to in order to stay sane. Thanks for the respite from the studying over the last year (and wasn't Martinsell a ward at the old Swindon hospital??)

Agree with all people have said, stay safe mentally and do what you need to do. I will check out a subscription option on my personal channel.

I'll keep getting notifications to catch up with your rambles, whenever they come out. That was a nice little video 👍

Amazing guys. Thank you for including us - and for maybe giving me a little inspiration 😉

It kind of works both ways too. I love your videos, and I also love many other creators' videos on YT. I currently have a hundred plus backlog in my watch list. Having a few less to watch means I can relax and enjoy watching them in plenty of time, rather than having to skip bits, pause and return later (if I remember). I'll be much happier watching your content without feeling as rushed, in much the same way I'm sure you'll feel happier with a more spread out schedule. As always, thanks for everything you do :)

I understand your reasons behind the change and fully support you in doing it. I love your channel and look forward to each new video. I have now joined!!

And what a lovely soppy story!!

I am subscribed and will be honest, I don't always watch them when you release them. Sometimes life gets busy and I go a month and then catch up. So for viewers like me, it is easy to say I am not going anywhere, you will still be in my feed when you post. But mostly, as others have said, you have to take care of yourselves first! Thank you for the content, I may never be able to visit your beautiful country, and this has been a way to see so much of it.

Your health and quality of life is more important than weekly videos. Will certainly keep following and viewing as the videos the pair of you make are brilliant.

I’m subscribed to notifications for a few years now since I first found your channel, so I’ll know when your on 👍🏻👍🏻

Very much a wise decision. You must be able to enjoy what you do! Pleased to help your Patreon so we can get more of your top notch videos. There are so few in the genres you two delightfully tromp about in - and yours are the absolute best and most entertaining and informative. It takes 8-10 months to make an animated episode so I can imagine the pressure to be making such top notch videos every week is tremendous and you've got to let some steam off, preferably like some steamboat chugging along an ancient abandoned canal. Metaphor done, salute given! Best to you two!

Whatever you do is worth the wait. Easter Blessings😊❤😊😊

What a lovely proposal story. ❤ Quality should definitely factor higher than quantity. Because if you're not happy with what you're putting out, you'll lose interest in doing it. I'll be clicking the notification bell and waiting patiently for your videos. Your channel is one of my favourites.

I've always said that you should post when you're ready and to pace yourselves, ever since I pointed out that breach in the viaduct you were filming that looked frighteningly close to breaching. I'm on the low income, so Patrion is not something I can afford. Nonetheless, I gave me word that I would watch however often you post, and I will keep my word. Best wishes to you both. See you soon.

A very wise decision on your part. Allow yourselves time to enjoy making your excellent videos and put them up when you're satisfied they - and you - are ready. We shall be here!

Wishing you both good luck with the new content schedule,looking forward to seeing how you manage to make Your already high quality videos better,see you in the next one take care until then.

Sounds good. I appreciate your dedication to provide quality content. I really enjoy your content. I'm a Canadian but I lived in Bristol for nine years so you are covering a lot of familiar territory and filling in the history for me. Thanks for what you do.

Although I have never attempted what you two have been doing, I can well imagine the stress it can cause (mostly from yourselves as you wish to put out high quality content). I enjoy what you do, and you seem like nice people, so I will remain a loyal viewer and will still watch what you put out, even if it's less frequent. Take care, and as I am sure you're aware, very few things are worth sacrificing your happiness for.

Fully with you both slowing down. A few other channels I watch have down the same and if anything it's improved their output. Lovely photos of you proposing too 🙂

I’ll always look forward to your videos, however frequently/infrequently you post them! Keep up the good work, but rest up when you can guys 👍🏼👍🏼

Crumbs, FIVE YEARS already (see Neil the Hermit's msg), greetings from Aotearoa

Totally on board with this. Quality over quantity. Like David Attenborough films. They don't appear often, but you know you'll be watching pure quality, a labour of love. Which sums up the attraction of your videos. Enjoyment. I can't walk across open countryside or along muddy tracks much any more, but I get vicarious enjoyment from your exploration of parts of England I'll never get to see. Keep going, you're a real antidote to a miserable day (looks out of window at grey rainy sky).

I can understand that completely Paul and Rebecca; was lovely to hear about how you proposed… I proposed at a bench beside the River Tavy in Tavistock not far from the Tavistock Canal … it’s a part of the world I remember from my childhood (having visited it for several years as a child when my grandparents were living in Mary Tavy) … back in 2000 I was on holiday with my mum and brother in Plymouth which had been planned for months ; when on spur of moment I invited my girlfriend to come down and meet me (I was living in High Wycombe , she in Aylesbury.. both over 200 miles away) .. she agreed & we found a lovely little spot & I proposed .. not as romantic as your story .. but your tale brought back so many memories

I will continue to enjoy your videos as and when you are happy to release them. More and more content creators are finding the " I must produce weekly" videos impossible to deliver. Semper Fi ❤

Take the time to get the joy back. I enjoy and appreciate all the hard work you both do. Proposal on a Rubbish Dump! Does proposing in strange places work. Yes it does I proposed to my good lady on the towpath of our local Cut and we are still together and very much in love after fifty nine years. Stay Young!

Totally and fully understand your decision, life's difficult enough as it is peace and love John

This was quite the complicated plot! 👍😊 Looking at that mud I was praying it wasn't so muddy on the day as wellies and tuxedo aren't a good look really! Frankly I think content suffers when burn-out occurs and some of my favourite vloggers are quite sporadic, despite what you've rightly said about KZread liking regularity. If your Patreon members can help to keep a sense of regularity, then fine. For myself, I'm really happy to view as and when! it's fine! Relax...... Smile..... We're here!

Always enjoy your videos no matter the frequency. Do what you guys need to do for your mental health and to help keep your love and passion for what you are doing.

Your videos are so high in quality and content, so it's obvious that they take time to put together. As I say to a lot of utubers that I follow, we are just glad to be along for the ride and for you letting us into your world. 👍 Talking of marriage proposals, I don't remember formally proposing to my wife, must have done something wrong or right as we've now been married for 40years. 🤣😂🤣

I camped up there a few times this year. Got some great sunset and sunrise footage from that bench.

Hi guys, I love your videos. Best of luck for the future, and hope it’s better for your well-being and mental health. All the best 👍👍

We still use the term midden up here in Yorkshire. It was how my nan often described my bedroom 😅

Best wishes for your new direction from Brisbane. Here in Australia I have learnt more about the UK countryside than I ever would from travel docos. And all done at ground zero level (or below!). I will be here waiting for your future fine work.

Hello both, Completey behind what you've decided to do. For me, the quality of both the content and production are what I find so compelling & entertaining. Good luck to you as you enter this next phase of your KZread journey. Be kind to yourselves.

Totally agree with your anousment I'm sure ALL your fans will say the same keep safe keep giving us excellent videos love the channel love your work love you both xx

Hey love birds. Thanks for this video! Do what you have to survive and stay healthy

I'll still look forward to your videos whenever you put them out, I've always enjoyed what you do and the way you deliver the content, informative and fun at the same time, please keep doing what you do at your own pace and keep healthy .

I look forward to all of your work. Take your time - don't stress. Best wishes.

Do what you need to do! I love your channel, but have sensed for a while that you were finding it difficult, so I will still be watching whenever you upload. Stress not! Happy Easter to you both 😊

i really enjoy watching your content all i say is realease content when your ready dont rush if you need time out take time out i will still be here when your next video comes out just keep up the awesome work

Can't stretch to Patreon, but very happy to wait longer for quality content.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, We will be here. We love you two!

I love watching your videos take your time we're in no rush.

I’m a Patreon contributor and watch your videos for who you guys are as much as the subject. Chill out, take it easy and do things when your ready. I’m not rushing off anywhere.😍

A sensible and sound decision on the way forward. However I think the first video of the new format should cover the installation of a long overdue memorial plaque on the bench! Good luck with the new production proposals.

All good things come to those who wait. We don't mind waiting at all. Just don't lose your enjoyment of making the videos. One channel I subscribe to I've been waiting a year for the next video, I think the person lost the joy but I hope they get it back.

I was just fearing the worst then ! Phew ! Keep them coming however long it has to take but stay healthy most importantly

Excellent idea, when you take 10% more time, things come out 50% better. I will gladly wait!

Your content is always so good and well informed I'd hate for you to feel pressured into producing it. The finest wines take time etc and your mental health and wellbeing far outstrips any model KZread should try and get you to conform to. You are not alone in noticing the pressures of releasing content. Seems to be a recurrent theme on some of the channels I follow. Good luck with it all and I'll still be watching whenever content is released. Epic proposal btw. Now get some rest and recharge your batteries (not the camera type ones!).

I don’t blame you guys, I couldn’t do what you’ve been doing. Luckily I’ve already been doing the things you ask for some time, so all I can say is good luck, best wishes, and I look forward to future “quality” material from you. Oh, and I totally agree about the view from Martinsell Hill - spectacular, and with memories that have remained with me since my younger days!

Glad to know that you are not moving to Bracknell, as I originally feared you might do. 🙂
