there aren't hidden gems in Vancouver

0:01

anymore

0:02

unfortunately they're all exposed when

0:05

you're when you're from the UK it's it's

0:07

a bit too much of a change I think the

0:09

village the closest Village is just

0:12

amazing it falls off the hill and you

0:14

look at it and you think how on Earth

0:16

did anybody decide to build that

0:18

unfortunately we landed on the beach

0:20

today because the wind dropped a little

0:22

bit and we lost high and that's the way

0:25

it goes clouds of mosquitoes so you've

0:28

got to choose your pace in those

0:30

countries every cloud is a silver lining

0:32

there right exactly yeah exactly hiya

0:35

1:12

my place we've been this year is around

1:14

the south of England we'll be going up

1:17

to London we will be going to Germany

1:19

and we'll be hitting Paris on the way

1:22

through because we're taking the

1:23

Eurostar

1:24

what else and I went for a week in

1:28

coroni Greece to go see another friend

1:31

um well I guess I'd count this as a

1:33

holiday I'm currently in rotting Dean

1:36

with my girlfriend and

1:39

um just staying at my parents flat and

1:42

just come here for a weekend to get away

1:43

from the rush of London

1:46

um I also went to Greece a couple of

1:48

weeks ago nice

1:50

um and went in the sea yeah

1:53

um which is kind of scary I guess what

1:56

holidays have you been on so far well

1:59

um

2:00

this year yeah none

2:02

terrible this year but

2:06

personally I like to go to the Alps I

2:09

like to go skiing and we don't have

2:13

really big enough mountains in this

2:14

country to do that you can ski in

2:16

Scotland right but to ski in Scotland is

2:18

a big big gamble for the weather and the

2:21

snow because it's a bit hit and miss so

2:23

I like to go to valttering in France

2:26

fabulous place highest ski resort in uh

2:29

Europe and almost guarantees good

2:34

conditions

2:38

so in swimming yeah we've been to knock

2:42

hatch yeah

2:44

what's a knock hatch not

2:47

yeah we went there for your birthday

2:49

3:05

across the border from France so 40

3:07

minutes from Monaco an hour from nice I

3:10

haven't had any holidays this year

3:11

4:41

[Music]

4:55

now I just caught you uh paragliding yes

4:58

a minute ago and is there a certain

5:00

place you'd like to like dream

5:02

destination to go paragliding well

5:04

there's many nice places around the

5:07

world

5:08

Colombia has some great places Brazil

5:11

has awesome places but closer to us here

5:15

in England

5:16

the French Alps are an amazing

5:20

playground huge vast area of mountains

5:24

that lend themselves very well to

5:27

paragliding but here we are on Brighton

5:30

seafront and we just saw in the little

5:34

Cliffs that are over there the tiny

5:36

little Cliffs yeah

5:38

um a small fry for you very very small

5:40

it's a bit of fun but unfortunately we

5:43

landed on the beach today because the

5:45

wind dropped a little bit and we lost

5:47

height and that's the way it goes yeah

5:49

it's all part of parcel yeah it's the

5:52

first time actually in the many times

5:53

have flown it's the first time I've

5:54

landed on the beach yeah at least the

5:56

tide was a bit out here oh yeah I

5:57

wouldn't do it in a high tide that's

5:59

that is foolish and do you often holiday

6:02

in the UK

6:04

um I think since the pandemic I think a

6:06

lot of people holiday a lot more in the

6:09

UK rather than traveling because

6:10

traveling is

6:12

a bit harder to do okay um it's also a

6:15

bit more expensive and it's worse for

6:17

the planet so it's much better to be

6:19

traveling around the UK I think what if

6:21

uh the UK was

6:24

off the menu where would you be going on

6:26

holiday well the last time I went abroad

6:29

was I don't know

6:33

um longer ago than than when you were

6:35

born I would think oh really I thought

6:37

you're going to mention about covert but

6:38

it's no no no

6:42

yeah absolutely well I mean I did in the

6:46

1960s I did live for three months in

6:48

Florence in Italy and that was

6:50

absolutely beautiful if someone was

6:52

thinking about coming to the UK for

6:54

their holidays where would you suggest

6:56

it can be obvious or it can be a Hidden

6:58

Gem London oh hey really because of the

7:01

beaches yeah yeah Brighton

7:05

yeah yeah

7:06

you've got you've got the seaside you've

7:09

got the countryside within a short

7:11

distance people are friendly down here

7:13

yeah and if you want to go to London

7:15

then it's only an hour on the train

7:18

perfect A Place Called Paul Bro Paul Bro

7:21

oh it's now part of the South Downs Park

7:24

so again it's not as hidden as it was a

7:26

few years ago traffic on the rivers and

7:29

on the trails has increased

7:30

significantly in the last few years

7:32

perhaps kovic contributed to that too

7:34

because people are getting outside

7:36

by uh staying local but also by

7:39

traveling so it uh yeah I wouldn't call

7:42

it a Hidden Gem it was much more hidden

7:44

before but it's a lovely part of England

7:46

yeah so South Stefan without any doubt

7:49

it's the most beautiful place why is

7:52

that

7:53

why is it beautiful yeah why do you find

7:55

it beautiful

7:56

well just just the natural scenery the

7:59

light is very special I mean the light

8:02

here is pretty good but the light in

8:04

Southwest England is absolutely

8:06

beautiful for for because I'm a

8:08

photographer and the library photography

8:10

is is quite beautiful you get some magic

8:13

hours dear some good magic hours oh yeah

8:16

especially as the um the Autumn comes in

8:19

Northumberland the Northumberland Coast

8:21

is Fabulous As long as you don't want to

8:23

swim

8:25

why is that it's cold

8:29

no I mean why is it so fantastic you've

8:32

got these amazingly long beaches with

8:35

castles at the back of them

8:38

um you've got places where you've got

8:40

puffins well at the moment you've got

8:43

puffins until they all die I suppose

8:45

they've got bird flu up there oh yeah

8:47

and you've got um and it's quite

8:50

not a lot of people holiday there yeah

8:54

um so it's north of Newcastle yeah and

8:58

and then there's you you haven't really

9:01

got anything very big until you get up

9:03

to Edinburgh so you've got this long

9:06

coastline most of which is long sandy

9:10

beaches and then you've got a whole

9:12

string of castles wake with

9:16

um bambra and you you'll know them from

9:18

films well personally I love Dorset the

9:22

Jurassic Coast right it's a fantastic

9:24

place it is popular but there are some

9:27

lovely little nooks and crannies in

9:30

along the coast there somewhere like

9:32

dancing ledge not many people know about

9:34

it but it's a fabulous plateau of rock

9:36

and someone's Bill a swimming pool in

9:39

the plateau of rock that you have to

9:41

walk down to it's not close to any car

9:43

Parks or any pubs or restaurants or

9:44

anything like that so you've got to walk

9:46

to it but it's it's amazing a fabulous

9:49

place so the Dorset Coast I think you

9:51

just exposed the hidden German oh yeah

9:55

it's great though anyone who comes to

9:57

him there's so many nice places the

9:59

Gower Peninsula Southwest Wales amazing

10:02

beautiful spectacular scenery a Ross

10:05

silly Bay a great place to fly as well
