Got me like [Music] me like [Music] Hello again everyone. Taking the Tesla R out for a spin to keep the battery going. It was lovely and hot yesterday and now it’s not which is annoying cuz I I had a video plan. I’m still going to go do the video plan and um because there’s an event on and I thought I want to go and see that but I didn’t want to take the Tiger. I want to see how this is getting on. It’s still got that vibration. I’ve ordered some uh Castrol super special. Oh, look at that Castrol 5 in1. Good stuff. Instead of like basic street 10W40 cuz I don’t know why I got a feeling that’s going to help. But yeah, it was 27° yesterday. It’s 15 today. Started off recording with my uh my frontfacing camera and realized the battery was flat, so I just put it in my pocket. It always helps if you charge your stuff before you leave. Yeah, the uh the brakes seem to be all right at the minute. Oh, they’re still squeaking quite a bit. Why? You’ve got pad. I’ve cleaned you. Quiet. Rear bra’s fine. Front’s still got feel. Doesn’t go to D or anything. Still got meat on the pads. I have no idea. Lovely day to be by the seaside. [Music] Hopefully those clothes will give away what’s going on. More of the oldfashioned. Oh, there’s a lot of parking. Have we guessed what it is yet? Wish I’d set off earlier. Now I’m getting hungry for lunch. It seems I’ve traveled through a time portal. Ah, they’ve closed the road. This is for a lot of people. Sharing them was 1940s weekend. Not just sharing them. I’ll go through that later. [Music] where a lot of people dress up in period accurate clothing. Go on the steam train to another location down what they call the puppy line down the coast. Oh, that road’s closed as well. Oh, is it all the way down this time? Oh, I fluffed myself a bit on this one. Where’s the wheel? There’s a way. Oh no, the motorcycle fucking’s full. Look at that. Nice old cars and stuff. Wait, there’s a bit this end. Yes, there’s enough for biking there, but if I leave him room, he can get out. [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] So that was the sharing amend of the 1940s weekend celebration of winning the war and also a lot of children I think railway children got sent in these directions away from the big cities. So a lot of families had adopted children sent up, you know, the little brown label on the neck says do not eat. Sorry, says the name and things like that. And the railway line down here called the poppy line is where they celebrate that at the end of September every year. [Music] So now what I’m going to do is follow the puppy line to the other end. There you can just see the smoke of the train now leaving which I’m going to follow which I was really hoping to time better and I missed it by like a matter of seconds. Love the style. [Music] Ladies doing it strong. If you or anyone you know is in this video and wishes to either have it removed, etc., please let me know. More than happy to edit and re-upload. I think it’s fair to say that war was simpler back then. You know who your enemy was. Wish it was simple these days. There’s the train. This railway line is still in consistent use to steam engines to this day. Somewhat slower than I am now. It’s one of those little events that they have around here that brings all the people together. shops join in, people working like the the Tescos at Sheran. They go in uniform. Sorry, not in uniform. They go in fancy dress celebrating the 1940s. Yes, mate. Another one. So, now that line will go from my right to my left. We’re going to try and follow it that way and find where it ends up. That’s how you do it. classic motorcycle for the time. Somewhat the wrong bike to go and celebrate the 1940s on. It’s weird to think how housing around here has changed from like necessary or like people who just lived here to necessary to get children away from the danger. Though adittly this coastline was also a defensible position and now it’s second homes. This is the way I want. Somewhere up here should join me back up to the railway line. He says, hoping this is the bit where I’ll get overtaken by the train now because he’s got a straight line. Where’s the train coming back? Damn it. I think that’s now too hidden. I don’t know if the camera could see it. That means there must be a line around here somewhere. Hello. Ah, here’s a bit more of the celebrations. I actually didn’t know about this. Um, I haven’t been on the train for many, many, many, many, many years. I forgot that this area, I forgot about this station. So, there’s a third row line. This will be Wayborn. Oops. Ah, I can’t see. Oh well. So if that train’s going that way, they might be meeting in the middle. So hopefully I can get the other end. [Music] Criy a hill in Norfolk. Surely not. Bit of history with the war around here. Old pill box. They’re dotted in and around some of the weirdest places. Just random fields. which nowadays don’t have great views because of how they’ve planted tree lines and stuff. So, I hope they were a lot more useful back in the day when they were needed. And I sincerely hope they’re never needed ever again. You’ve also got the Mucklebar military collection around here. Old tanks, new tanks, rockets, just bits of machinery. Pretty cool to go and see. You can pay to go in a tank. You can’t fire said tank. It’s a shame. or a personnel carrier. So, definitely not firing that. Surprised that car’s got a square exhaust. Okay. It’s cool seeing all the old vehicles that they still have running and then, you know, the spare ones they’ve got hidden away in case they break down cuz old stuff does break down, but somehow less than the new stuff. and is more easily fixable. And now for the last station on my tour to force tour of the war, the 1940s train brigade. This is Hulk station. That’s where the train will be finishing off. Yeah, I can’t get in there, which is a shame. It is nice to see how much people dress up. Let’s see what Hol’s doing in comparison. Now, I don’t think Halt stops you going through the middle. Hopefully not. We’ll find out. Come on. I expecting lots of bunting and big flags. Well, there’s some flags. A little bit of bunting. Oh, Halt, you’re letting me down. [Music] There’s an all this end. There’s just some flags up. That’s a shame. Perhaps I’ve missed like the peak of it. Oops. Perhaps that’ll be tomorrow. I should have done the other way around really, shouldn’t I? I wanted to end on a high. Oh, that was halt. Not much as the 1940s weekend has hit this part then which is a shame. It’s mainly a sharing way. Maybe next year. But that’s something to let you guys know what goes on around here. I’ve got nothing else to add. So I’m going to bail out. See you guys next time. off. You little brown and little I love you.
