The Bald Explorer -Episode Two

This is the second of the series that has Richard Vobes dashing about the UK in search of myths and legends, history and architecture as he discovers all that is good about the country he loves.

In this episode, the Bald Explorer is in Shropshire finding out the pitfalls and perils of taking a journey a few hundred years ago. He visits the Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury to discover what the coaching life was like. A trip to Lord Hill's Column gives him a wonderful view of the old London to Hollyhead road and at Myddle Farm he investigates the ruined castle and wonders who was the highway man, Humphrey Kynaston who once lived in a cave?

good initiative Richard! I'm Polish, one of those few (millions) that moved to you country and I eventually felt in love with south England. Alfriston, Rye, Lewis but also Bourton on the Water, amazing places with historical soul. I also do some traveling videos, but not as pro as you sir. Good luck and keep exploring ;)

@tomxx Thanks very much Tom. The new Bald Explorer is now out - Smugglers on the Romney Marshes. Hope you like it.

Very good work and quite absorbing. I hope this video is doing the rounds of TV companies. If old Auntie Beeb isn't interested, then this work really should be on a satellite channel and not merely tucked away on YouTube.
