I'll ask him when I see him- it's possible. When I can, I'm going to shoot Caerphilly Castle in the Walking Bookseller style- it is one of the two castles within 5 miles of where I grew up and the second largest in the UK (we have more Castles in Wales than in any other country in the World, I believe relative to the small size of the country). If you watch the video 'Dragons and Fables' on my other channel, you see me visit Castell Coch ('The Red Castle') which is a Victorian folly built on the ruins of a far older castle- that's very Corum.

Did he? Haven't seen it, never watch his channel anymore.

@@WalkingBooksellerOriginal Hahaha. "He is paid no attention by the man behind the curtain" it would seem. It was just powerfully ironic and I had to share. No shade cast. Love the video! More to come.

Beats me, comrade.

Thanks. I don't do this walk very often- it's too long and too cycle-crowded much of the time now, but it is great to have it as an option.

Many thanks

@@WalkingBooksellerOriginal You're welcome friend 🙂

Well, the walk was heavily edited to exclude a near constant stream of cyclists and runners (and this was before 8am), as I indicated, so it didn't reflect the number of boats fully either. I understand what you mean and totally get your point, but I'm simply making a comparison to the recent past- I first walked this stretch of the canal in 1985 - so that's almost forty years ago- and it was fully navigable then and much more pleasant, allowing for quiet and relatively solitary walking. I'd say my experience is a reflection of many factors- population growth, a desire to live 'off grid' while at the same time taking advantage of an infrastructure some of those dwellers may or may not be contributing to and the explosion in turning rural and semi-rural spaces into an 'outdoor playground' for the sport-obsessed. Yes, I'm looking at it from one perspective- mine- but walking, the oldest means of travelling has been further downgraded in this location by recent social changes. I'm bemoaning that, I guess. Thanks for viewing and commenting, hope you enjoy walking this bit of the canal, but be ready to dodge inconsiderate cyclists constantly.

Thanks my friend!

Watch the 'My Capri Vlog' series on Outlaw Bookseller and you'll see me visit the two bookshops on Capri and show the books I bought in them.

@@WalkingBooksellerOriginal will do!

If you look on Outlaw Bookseller, there is a playlist of videos I shot on Capri, all of which reference the significant literary and cultural history of the island. My H G Wells and Dino Buzzati videos were also shot there.
