I walked 102 miles of the loop in 6 days a couple of weeks ago, TOTALLY inspired by your good self. I LOVE watching and re-watching these LOOP videos of yours. I pine for the LOOP greatly and can not wait to re-visit it again to tie up loose ends.

Thank you for passing Hertfordshire. Nothing beats England. Keep trekking.

Ahhh....that summer of 2018. Thanks John - add this route to my plans.

I don’t know when the London Loop was first designated. I think it must be since I left London nearly twenty years ago. I would have loved these walks. I used to use the Time Out book of walks around London back in the day. Before that publication it was just various random walks taken from an assortment of walkers books. I regarded those walks as essential for my survival, mental health, whilst living and working and Central London. Great video. Thanks.

A little known fact for you, John: Joachim von Ribbentrop was said to have been a member of Pinner Hill Golf Club, although I don't think he ever played there much. He had a house built on the private estate you walked through in the mid-late 1930s when he was German ambassador to Britain, which he used as a kind of country retreat. Apparently the house, which was called Sans Souci, had a flagpole in the front garden from which he flew the Nazi swastika flag. After he returned to Germany, just prior to WW2, Goering's sister then lived there for a bit, before the house was requisitioned and used by the RAF. I grew up around that area (Pinner/Hatch End), and so I know it well. Your video shows the tranquillity of this wonderful stretch of fields and woods perfectly, but anyone who has not been there would be amazed to know just how well "hidden away" all that countryside is, given that the surrounding area is so built up! - It's one of the things which makes it so magical.

When you left the golf course unto that meadow...it looked like not only you stepped out of London, but back in time when most of the U.K. was rural.

Great to see so much green space and woodland that developers greed has not ruined

This was a very beautiful, dreamy walk...

Lovely walk with beauty all around, thank you for sharing John. Take care man.

Always look forward to your walks John your a trooper walking in that heat hope you drank enough loved that mysterious lamppost in the field perhaps you found Narnia x

We are walking the London Loop clockwise and we enjoying recapitulating our day's walk when we get home, by following your excellent vlogs. Two short comments - I am happy to report that The Case is Altered pub is now open for business and we enjoyed a post-lockdown pint on the verandah overlooking the Harrow panorama. Apparently the brewery closed it, because it was not making money and it suffered two periods of sustained closure. The village has now taken it over and are running it as a community pub. Secondly, you mentioned that W.S. Gilbert lived in Grimsdyke House, which fronts on to the road, a hundred yards along and across from The Case is Altered. Today it is shrouded in scaffolding, so maybe that is why you missed it. As you passed through the woods above the house, you gave us a brief shot of the abandoned lake amidst a wilderness of rhododendrons. You failed to mention that Gilbert died in the lake, aged 74. He was endeavouring to rescue a young house guest, who got into difficulties whilst swimming in the lake, when he suffered a heart attack in the middle of the lake.

Thank you great walk looking forward to doing it myself

Hi John, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Arrived via The London Perambulator (which is fascinating and brilliant) and now I’m working my way through your lovely walks, which are, as others have said, somehow very relaxing to watch.I’ve also just ordered your book. Long may you continue, sir! Simon.

Thanks for another cracking ramble round the loop ,love the way you get scenic detours but never get bent out of shape about them,way I walk to

Best 25 minutes of the day! Always so relaxing watching your walks. There are some truly spectacular views along this route. Amazing how many public foot paths there are in London. That is truly a luxury. I think you would be arrested if you walked over a golf course where I live. Hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather. Keep the videos coming.

Ah, I've missed you! Thank you for much for yet another glorious walk, John. Glorious to take a stroll with you.

Wonderful walk as always John. It’s funny how if you walk for just a few minutes in certain parts of London you’ll end up in some pristine wilderness seemingly miles, even eons away from civilization...And then a few minutes later you spot a telephone poll.

I love walking.

A magical video of a sunny summer day. A wonderful walk, the edge of the edgelands but as if you were miles from a city in the heart of the countryside. Thanks John. Brings cheer in a grey Tier 4 January 2021.

Nice to see a hot summers day, sadly just a memory ,cheers John

Your videos remind me of why I love walking the London Loop. Looking forward to watching more!

A wonderful video. I wish I was able to walk half a mile of it, thank you very much.

Incidentally, we have enjoyed section 5 the most. I think it is the next section for you to tackle, so we are looking forward to your report.

That was a super walk again John.

Lovely walk thanks

Fantastic walk John. As you know, I walked it with a friend from Moor Park to Hatch End earlier that same day, some lovely woodland there. We bumped into another loop walker who had two poodles with him - he actually had to carry them both across a field of horses in his arms. He said they had kicked one of his dogs in the air before so he didn't want to take any chances!

great walk thanks John. Just starting my London Loop adventures. Done the Upminster Bridge to Rainham section It was ok but rather a green urban corridor than countryside. Going to try section starting at Erith looks interesting .

Great video John, really enjoyed it 👍☺️

Great walk John. Didn't realise the LL came so close to my neck of the woods. If you start or end at Moor Park, it's worth a 15 min detour to go to Withey Beds, a small wetland area. They lay out reptile mats here and in May I found a grass snake and a few slow worms warming themselves. Just a quick look, didn't disturb them but a thrill all the same. Take your lad, he'll love it. But not now, it's been too dry. Wait till September.

That aircraft was probably just some new fixed undercarriage kind of weekend plaything - but it did sound like an old one. If anyone can say what it actually was would be curious. Great movie again John Jezza.

Wonderful video John. I assume you know that there is a guidebook to the London Loop; the route description in the book is in the opposite direction to which you are walking though. I well remember the Moor Park to Hatch End section of the Loop which I walked in February 2017- there was completely impassable mud near Hatch End on ground churned up by horses.

Another epic video. Well done bro

25 minutes of Ommmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks John.

Great video john. I think you are right about the pipe sticking out of the ground, probably a sewer vent or ' stink pipe '. Any idea why pill boxes are called that ? Bob.

What animal is that a little ahead of you on your path, a bit to the right at 13:03 ? I suppose it's a cat, though the coloring had me believe for a moment that it was a fox.

thanks john different class mate you clearly love what you do what is the furthest you have walked in the day? hope you do some more stuff in the east end soon be lucky mate steve

Hey John. This just popped up on my suggested. How much of the loop have you completed now?

My new absolute favorite youtube channel. UTTERLY fascinating!....Thanks John! By the way, have you seen CLANKER MAN? An award-winning comedy short about a lone urban adventurer: vimeo.com/214931224

no thank you john

30:C that's not hot ... lol
