 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm in Vengen this evening. This is a village up in Switzerland, and I'm at the railway station Here's the railway station. It's a rack and pinion railway. That train is going to go down the hill to Lauterbrunnen and The railway continues right up there to Kleinerscheidek. Oh, and there is a train coming in. This video isn't actually about trains, believe it or not But let's just watch this train come in If you ever travel in these trains, those panoramic cars are quite good, yet if you're in one of these Ends cars, you can put the window down and put your head out of the window, which is also good fun So here we are in Vengen and we've got a rack railway. It goes right up there up to the mountains, which I just out of camera There's snow-cut mountains in the distance What are we doing here? Well, we've actually come here to play with marbles. These that I've got to serve them And these are made of wood. They're quite big marbles around this village There are various marble runs and what we're going to do, it's a bit of fun We're going to go and do them all. So as we leave the railway station, give you an idea of the proximity to the railway station There's quite a few. There's at least 10. I'm not sure we're going to do them in the right order But we'll start with this one because it's here. Look here is a Marble run. I don't think this is the most successful of them all, but let's just see how we get on with it It's actually Marble Run 9 But it's going to be Marble Run 1 for now But let's just have another look at that fantastic view So let the fun begin. Now all we can do, anyone watching, if you want to pick a team You can be blue or green and what we'll do, we'll see who wins As I go through the video, I may forget which one's one, so those you're watching may have to remember So we'll start here. Look here we have Blue and green and they start off by lifting these. So I'm going to try and best fare as I can give them an equal start now This one as I know isn't the most successful. So they may not even make it to the end But let's try and see how we get on. Let's go And off they go I get to here they go down through the spanners and then it's into this jerry can And they're coming out. Blue is currently winning. Blue's gone down there. Green's gone down there Drop down here. Ring the cowbells Oh Well, despite blue being in the lead, green won that one. I don't have to come and pick you up. Blue got stuck there Green came and won. So that was quite fun. What you can do with this one There's two ways because if you look May have not been so clear, but when you got to here There was um, it's a junction. So look, I'll show you So they've got stuck less than this way this time. This one doesn't count And as you can see they're not rolling fast enough And green is now stuck So perhaps that was just as well. So that is the first one. We're going to walk into the village center now We'll go and see next one. There's quite a lot of people Most people are luggage getting off the train. There are no buses that come up here The railway really is the only way in and out of Vagant. Well, you could walk of course Oh, when there is a cable car, which I went on earlier. That was great fun Um, but that's a really long way Wow, if you go up the cable car Which I can show you in just a second That's the cable car There That goes up really really high If you go up there You go Right up there. You can just see where the wire goes. You can catch another one down to Grindelwald, which I did earlier So that's also quite fun to do If we go on to this There's some folk of it going on So you can hear a load of cowbells ringing on the grand scale. I did film them when they've raided through the village earlier I didn't really make quite a fantastic site. I thought I wish we could do something like that in the UK But I don't know if we ever will so We're just coming now to the next one of These bull runs. I'm not sure which number it's going to be They're supposedly 10. I'm not sure they're all the same from the word from the original ones I think some have come and gone but here we have one here. Now, this one. They've all got different themes. This one Is a bit golf themed because probably Because it's like sporty areas, you see the tablecloth tablecloth, so what happens with this one? See this, I can put them in here So it doesn't matter which one I put in first. That's not relevant I'm just gonna drop green in first drop blue in. They're not going anywhere. I can turn this They're still not going anywhere because what I have to do I have to pull this out and that has released them and there they go, they go, Blue's currently in the lead, there's a junction, they've both gone the same way. They've gone down, Blue has won this one. So just to let you have another look at where they went, have a look at the course. So they came down here, Blue won, looking up, you can see different pipes, see there was a junction here and they both went this way and down there and down to the bottom. Let's go find the next one. So there's lots of hotels here. It's a very, very touristy place, Vingen is. So we're gonna walk down here because I think between this hotel this hotel's got a rather nice garden and I think they've also got another bull run. Just see across the garden, just see the train disappearing. So we're gonna do this one and then I'm probably gonna walk up to the next one because the next one's a little bit further away. This hotel here, it's got a nice rose garden. Now this one, look at this. Let's have a look at it first before we actually do the bull run. This one is very hotel themed. So if you look that's the end. Going up, see the hotel keys hanging up, I'll step over the hedge room. See look, it has to roll down through the hotel keys and then also rose rolls down through the pots and pans. This is like a little model of the hotel. So we'll start up here. So this is actually number 10. So if I put a bull here, bull there, okay. So what I'm gonna do, I think I'll release, pull this up. It will, you'll see what happens. Pull it up, still not released. The secondary release will set them off. So let's let them go. Green's currently winning. That one was a draw. Look, I'm gonna do this one again. Because look, green got stuck there. Blue got stuck there. Let's do that one again. I want the actual winner, not who's got the purpose on, who made it to the end. So let's see who gets the end first or, excuse me, green, you're cheating. Green just decided to cheat. Let's try this one again. So here we are. So two marbles, which one will win. Oh, okay. Blue got stuck. That is gonna be fair. Have to call this one a draw. Let's just see how they get on. Let's see if they make it to the end. I think green's now stuck or blue make it to the end. Blue's got stuck. Funny because the one I did first, that's green gone. It's green. Look, in the pan. Come on, green. So the one I did first, the other day, was the least successful. But today, this one seems to be the annoying, not very successful one. Let's try it again. Third time, lucky can they win. Or can they even get to the end, I think. They're going for it. They're both going. Green's currently in the lead. You are only allowed to do this until 10 o'clock, and the noise is probably why. Down through the keys. Green's winning. Blue's catching up. They're both now competing. Green's in the lead. I think green's gonna win. But there's still to play for. Green's currently winning and green hasn't quite won. Green has won. So there you go. So if you're playing for green, you've won this one. I'm going to go for a little walk now, and we'll go and find this one. Here we are outside the choice of formations, and if you'd like to take part, this is one of the places you can buy these balls. Now this one, this is number two. It's not the most exciting, but there's sort of two ways. So if you look, there's to the cows there, so it makes their way down through the cows. So what we'll do, so you start here like this, and we're going to let them go. Now they could go through here and go down. Let's just see what happens. So if I move the camera to this end, let's see how we get on. And they've both gone down the top. They're actually scoring numbers, look. Blue has scored a three. Green has got stuck. We'll have to somehow rescue green. Look, green's down there. I'm going to put my hand in. That's not really fair. Green's got four, but he got stuck, and blue got their first and got three. Let's try one more time. Just, I tell you, I'm going to give each the outside ones just to see how we get on with it. This time, let's see who can make it to the end. They've both gone down in the middle. Well, so blue has scored three. Green has scored four. So remember that if you're playing along, there was a couple of other residents of the village who I thought I would introduce you to, because we've got to walk right past their house. This is their back garden, just here. So as you know, names, one of them's out in the garden, the other one's relaxing at home. Here we are, two rabbits that rabbit in there, and there's another rabbit in the hut. Now, the next sport is, there's some children permits. I'll wait for them to finish, or I may go away and come back to this one. But that's the next one. That one's quite an exciting one, right by the cable car. So we'll go over there. Actually, are they going? Yeah, I think they're going. So let's just see if we can get over to that one and have fun with that one. Although, yeah, let's, if you look at this one, this one really is quite an exciting one. It's a bit more sort of skiing thing. So you've got this last bit at the end, rolls down onto the target, and then you've got a section here, look at that. Quite exciting. Right up here, you've got, see the skis, skis is the edge, got a snowboard, a piece of wood, more cows with little cowbells. Let's do this one. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to play this one. You start by going like that. Hello. You start by going like that. I think there's some other people waiting. So I'll have to cut this and we'll come back in a minute. So with a snow cap mount in the distance, which seems to disappear the moment I put my facing camera on, it's just an annoying trick of the camera. My two marbles waiting to be released to go off down the next section. So I'm going to lift this and this will release them. And let's see who wins. Three, two, one, go. Blue's gone this way and green has got stuck. Blue is differing. We're going to have to do this one again because green got stuck. But let's just watch what happens. So blue goes off down there and around there and down the final section. Just making sure no one steals green. They're doing this one again. So it can be a little bit annoying. They don't always work, but it's still great fun. Rings of cowbell got blue again. Let's go and get green. Let's hope we can be more successful this time. It's really great fun though. I wish we had things like this in the UK. Oh, I see. Look, if you just look here, there's like a junction thing. Now I'm going to try and make this as fair as possible. I'm going to put that bang in the middle. Now what will happen is probably, which everyone gets there first, we'll hit it. So we should have it. Each ball goes a separate way. So I'm going to release them in a minute by doing that. Green and blue waiting to go. Who's going to win? Watch it from this side this time. See how it goes. So let's release. I don't believe it. Green is stuck again. Green is stuck up there catching blue. Let's try again. Third time lucky. All right, third time lucky. Who's going to win? Green or blue? Blue's got stuck this time. Green is, if it'd been green, it got stuck. I'd have just qualified green to declare blue the winner. But green is going for it this time. Look at that. Green is really going for it. I can't really declare green the winner. We're going to do it one more time to make it as fair as we can. And then we shall see what happens. So just wait for these people to finish their go. And then I'll do mine. So we put the two balls here. There's someone else having rolling their ball down. Just wait for them to get to bottom and then final chance. We're going to try one more time. I've got a volunteer to help me. It's Bryce and he's, and he's, you his sister? Yeah. Yeah. And Bryce's sister. We have an extra competitor for this one. We have red. Bryce is going to do the honors of letting them go. So who's going to win? Go on Bryce. Go for it. My blue has got stuck again. I think blue's disqualified from this. But they're coming. Look, blue might actually make up. Bryce's sister let blue go. Green's getting stuck. It's quite fun to have the next one. Got blue different around there. And green's well on the way to be in the winner. It's red. I want to remember for this one, there goes red. And there's blue. There goes blue. We'll run down to the end. Let's see who makes it to the end. He's got there. Red's got there. And here comes blue. Thanks for your help, Bryce. Cheers. So here we are, further down the main street in Vingen. We're going to do this. There's one there, but there's one here. This one is a bit smaller. So what we'll do, we'll do this one first and then we'll do the other one. So this is number five. It's a bit of basic one, but still, still good fun. Again, we have a thing to release them. So put blue here, blue and green. Who's going to win? Blue has got stuck. Green is making its way down. And I think green is going to win this one. Shall we do it one more time? Let's try again. What we'll do this time, we're going to do, we're going to get the thing in chained. All right, that's the thing I'm going to make. They're both making it. Blue is in the lead. Okay, blue got stuck this time. No, sorry, blue won this time. Green got stuck. And let's go to the one across the road and we'll see who wins on that one. So one across the road is just over here with the mountains looming above us. I'll never tire of the way the mountains loom above us here. Let's see who can be next. So we go into this little park and this is number four. This is the one that caught my eye. I was going out for a walk. I was just like, what is that? It's a very elaborate looking fence and I discovered exactly what it was. So we're going to climb right up the top of the hill to do this one. Here we are. Top of the hill. And I think I've just got to literally drop them down. So let the challenge begin. Let's have a look. So it's down all of that, down a sort of pipe, rolls about a bit, has some interesting spiral staircase. I'm just going to drop them. Let's try and get at the same time. And green's currently in lead. But green has got stuck. Blue is just not green out the way. They're both going down here now. So if we go to here, we'll see them both come out. Blue is currently winning. Green's following short behind. Oh, look, they roll right up there. Almost rang the bell. They go down here. They're both going to have to ring this next bell. Look. There they go. Very close. And then they get to here. Look at this. They go down there. Blue might not win this one because there's a chance green could overtake here and there's two different ways. Oh, green's gone off the edge. And blue, right, I'm declaring blue the winner of that one. Because blue's ended there. Green has gone into the grass. So blue's winner of that one. Let's go and find another one. Here I am now. Walked up a bit from that one. Look at this one. It's kind of on the side of a house. Again, quite interesting. There's a zigzag to go down. There's a junction there. It disappears into a building. It must come out at the bottom. Let's go to the very top and see what we've got. Someone's left an umbrella there. I've got three drop zones. So I'll probably do the outer drop zones. And then we'll see how we get on. I'm going to send them down there. I'll help her again because I'm kind of like that. I'm going to try and get them into each one at the same time. As we know, going first doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get there first. I think green might have gone slightly ahead. Green's coming in early, but blue may still. Blue is competing hard. Who's going to make it? Blue. See, blue's overtaken. Even though I think green slightly went ahead. But look, green is really competitive. Blue has got stuck. Green is the winner. That's for blue. Stuck there. Let's see what happens. There's this hole here. Where does that go? I'm going to drop them both down there. This is just like an extra. It doesn't count. They make a lot of noise. Well, I see. They come out down there. Right, let's go and see which ones we can find next. We've seen a few cowbells set off by these marbles, but they're some actual cows and cowbells. It's starting to get dark now, but we can still just finish this. We're now at the top end of the village. So the village center is just down there across this field. And I think, I'm not sure what this building is, but it's some kind of local sort of maintenance building. And there's one here. And then there's a hotel around the corner. There's one more there. So that we have, this one's very sort of pipe themed. It's almost like sewer pipes. And you've got the caps of the sewer pipes. You've got a junction, you know, where you get like three different houses all over there. Sewers join. Never thought I'd be doing a video. I'd send things down a sewer. Anyway, I'm going to go with these two just because it doesn't seem to matter whether it's which order. And let's just see who gets first. So I've got green and blue. Let's go. Blue, I think is winning. Blue's winning. That's green. Yeah, blue definitely won that one. It's nice to have one actually behaved and worked. Now the final one is just around the corner here at this hotel. So we can walk back past the cows again. I really like the sound of cowbells. Such a nice sound. And then there's a big hotel here. And in this hotel's front garden is the final one of our bull run. So there's 10 of them, unless you've done them in the right order. I think others have come and gone since they started. This is what the trail's called in German, of course, barn. So technically barn is rail, it's a technical way. It takes a form of rail. So hence part of my interest. Look at this. So this one, I don't know if it once went further because it's like a house that could go through. But you've got, that's like the roof. And then it looks like, do they roll on? Oh, I see. No, look, there's this wood stacked here. And they disappear into the wood. I've seen quite a few of these before. And then there's quite a cool tower where they start off. I don't know how I can do a really first or second with this one. I'm just going to, I might do an experiment, which I drop it. So I drop it. So blue goes one way green. No, it's just, I'm just going to say blue ahead. It doesn't mean anything. It's a bit fun. Let's just watch them go down. I don't think we're going to class this one as a winning one. We're just, just fun. Now we've got to run down here. They both should come out here. I hope they don't get stuck in there. Oh, there's blue. There's green. This is where green might just get ahead. I'm likely, but you never know. We're finished. I think that's pretty much a draw. Quite, quite worn out now after charging around the village with these marbles. I did it. One of them I came to and I saw two people and they said, how'd you do it? Because they didn't have any dees. I was tempted to say to them, sorry, you just don't have the balls to do this challenge, but I didn't. I thought it was quite funny. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this video. I'm from the village of Vengen and the sound of cowbells high up here in the mountains of Switzerland. It's a fantastic place. You'll see various other videos I've made whilst on this trip of rallies and everything. So thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment. Goodbye.
