Many thanks Dave. Have you visited Badbury Rings on the Kingston Lacy estate. It's a lovely place with impressive views across Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight on a clear day. Well worth a visit. 🙂

Thanks Rachel. Yes, Logan & I hope to film a walk at Badbury Rings some time in the future - looks a great place to explore.

Another great video Dave. I know Child Okeford and Hambledon Hill well and it was good to see you pop in the Saxon Inn and meet Reggie - lovely pub. The paragliders were probably flying off Bell Hill above Belchalwell, where Jack Hargreaves used to live.

Thanks Kev. I hope that you recover from your injury soon. All the best.

Loving your series of Dorset walks as we get lots of great ideas from them for places to visit and explore. We often go along the trail way, and in fact were at Shillingstone on Wednesday , so found this video particularly interesting for ideas on how to vary our walks there.

Thanks Pauline. Logan & I have got quite a few "Dorset" walks planned over the next few months - just need to keep hold of this good weather!

Thank you Tony. I hope to be filming at least another couple of walks in Dorset that include iron age hill forts later on this Summer so do look out for those! Thanks for watching.

Great video Dave. I was recently on the way back from golf at the Isle of Purbeck and heading to Devizes and saw a sign for Child Okeford and now you have enlightened me on the place. I've said it before but that area is real Jack Hargreaves patch ! Such a wonderful part of England.

Thank you Muriel. The views from the top of Hambledon Hill were quite stunning!

And another fabulous video Dave, and a history lesson too! I think if I had gone in that pub early on I would have tried out their ales, just for research purposes of course! ( though the continued walking afterwards may have got a bit wobbly! ) Those large mounds look a bit like a smaller version of the one at nearby Glastonbury Tor. Was that detectorist Mackenzie Crook by any chance from the superb series The Detectorists ? I know he does it in real life! Maybe you should try going up in a two man Para Glider and filming that? It will save your legs! We may have lost dear Jack Hargreaves many years ago, but you are surely his worthy replacement! Cheers!! 😁🍺🍻

Logan & I had a great walk up Hod Hill last year - now that was a steep climb too ... but well worth it for the views at the top!

Great video Dave, a real two-pinter 🍺🍺what with all that uphill. I walked up from Iwerne Courtney years ago, combined this hill with Hod Hill. I thought you resembled the Pied Piper of Hambledon when you were walking through the cattle field! If you taught Logan how to operate the camera, do you think there'd be any chance of some Dave zoomies? Look forward to next week's.

How do you know if you are safe crossing a field with cows in? I enjoyed this. walk but would be alarmed if I saw cows in the same field. Ah I should have waited 'till near the end. Thanks for the explanation.
