Rochester to Thurnham | Augustine Camino - Day One | Cool Dudes Walking Club

Monk Magnet

I wouldn’t be surprised if you & Carlos featured in the ‘who wore it better’ section of a fashion magazine next month.
I watched this video on my TV for a change instead of my phone or iPad & the picture quality was way better than I expected it to be on a big screen. Awesome
That sunset was stunning btw. I’m a bit jealous. Maybe if you made a sun emoji it’ll encourage it to come out a bit more.

I once met up with a mate only to find we had both bought the same coat for winter from Debenhams 😐 I know what you mean about the bridge thing too, although I've found walking or cycling over it is normally an anticlimax * shrug *

Any sort of travel is enhanced by blackcurrant and licorice sweets.

I choose shirt A

Really glad it was an early Cool Dudes me,her who won the monk. Very cool 😎

Hi Marek, what a great video and walk. I used to live in Maidstone and have done all of that walk in part many times. We now live in Hythe on the coast of Kent. We do a great walk to Canterbury from here a few times a year. If every you want to come down here and do a couple of walks, I would happily put you up for a few days. If you wanted company, I would also love to join you on the walks. Open invitation, and as I am self-employed, anytime is good for me. Keep up the good work.

Getting dangerously close to 1000 cool dudes

I too went on a journey with this vid although my self-discoveries don't reflect well on me: I let out an audible gasp of excitement at the Waitrose distribution centre, and then chose shirt D which looks like something you'd see on a kids TV presenter from the 90's . Snack-wise I like apples and crisps. I don't allow myself to buy strawberry laces anymore because I can easily eat a whole packet in one sitting, squashing several laces at a time into a ball before shoving it into my fat mouth, and that's not the person I want to be.

Loving this walk! I see you have a small painting of what looks like Lucian Freud's 'Girl with a Kitten' .... is that a Marek's Masterpiece? or a reproduction or ...perhaps.... the real thing? Im glad you have Carlos keeping you company this time x

That car bumper had strong Tremors vibes, was expecting the headlights to still be on!

Very nice video

Favourite snacks on a walk - Sausage rolls and scotch eggs

It sounds like that horse has a pretty terrible personality (horsenality?)

I did like this route especially as you both passed some of the places I walked on the Winchester to Canterbury Pilgrimage last year, nice one!

Congratulations on your content, Marek. I am thoroughly enjoying watching you and your walks. This brings back great memories of when i lived in the U.K. I really am looking forward for a Cool Dudes Walking Club membership card! Might even start a branch here in Brazil aswell, hahahha

Great walk . I love the thought of a pilgrimage.
Favourite snack bar Snickers . Always have one somewhere in my rucksack.

Hurry Up Carlos !!!

Riesen Dark Chocolate-Chewy Toffee please. German snack exzellenz! If you are in Rochester again you should head to the Cheese Rooms and chow on their Tartiflette, bloody delicious!

I chose shirt C, then right away Carlos copied me.
My snacks are cheese and pickle sandwiches, frazzles, pistachios.

I gave up sugar, but I used be able to eat a whole bag of Haribo Strawberry Sticks in one sitting and probably start on a second bag later that day if the mood struck me. I feel we are kindred spirits strawberry laces wise.

Thanks for the tip about the Zombie retreat - I have been looking for somewhere and that will do nicely.

:jizz:

Nice one! This walk seems to run parallel to the Pilgrims Way that I’ve partially completed and ended in Canterbury. Saw a pub or two that I recognised. Can’t wait to see Day 2.

Marek, our diets are so similar, though I cant get enough foam shrimps and bananas at the mo...

I’ve got an uneaten pack of those Tesco strawberry laces too, but my fave snack are Jelly Babies. I buy a big packet which I keep sealed with a food bag clip from Ikea 👍 plus I also carry Bel Vita blueberry breakfast bars too. Stay cool and thanks for another great video

A great walk with great company, great music & a beautiful sunset. I chose B, oops!

Yay! Finally got around to watching you start your mega walk and I'm looking forward to the next bit already!
I knew it was going to be good judging by the insta stories you've been posting. The one with Carlos and his Haribo really made me laugh.
I also laughed when you had a pub lunch and didn't have a burger. That meal looked lovely so that's a shame that it was a disappointment. A load of gravy probably would have sorted it out.Or maybe you should have just had a burger. 😂
That sunset was a bit gorgeous.
If you're thinking of ever doing a new emoji, perhaps consider a zombie one? 😁
Stay cool.

"Jizz" teehee. Nice one Cool Dude #1

Good to see you doing a walk local(ish) to me. I wasn't aware of this route through to Ramsgate so may have to check that out at some point. My favourite snacks are Hula Hoops (ready salted), Fry's Turkish Delight and a mid-walk pint of cold cider at a pleasant hostelry, and maybe another at the end🍺🍺

Great video, my last bikepacking vid was from Cuxton!

Excellent Day 1 walk cool dude..!!

My friend briefly lived in Eccles whilst at University. On my first train ride over there a grinning, bearded man in aviators boarded when we stopped in the nearby town. He then sat down with an old fashioned cassette player and proceeded to loudly play the entirety of the dialogue from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang whilst continually laughing and reciting every word (which he’d obviously learnt off by heart.)

Everyone left the carriage. It was utterly terrifying (and quite impressive.)

My favourite snack during walking trips through England is Johnny Walker with Coke

As per usual, I cried laughing at the drawing......zombies and waitrose 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant! And yes strawberry laces are AMAZING!!! a walk worthy snack 🙌 stay cool 😎

Hi Marek, since you asked someone to explain the car bumper i thought I'd oblige. I reg checked it and it has a current tax and MOT, so you could have taken it onto the road legally. Also, a recent MOT report said that the only issue with the car was a worn tyre. Having seen the video footage I'd have to disagree. I'd say the fact that the whole bit of the car behind the front bumper is missing is probably a bigger problem, but I'm not a qualified mechanic.

Just want to let you know. But I am subscribed and the bell notification is on, however, I have received nothing for the last few months. It was only because I thought I would check to make sure your channel was still going and all is good for you, that I have discovered so many videos I have not seen. Not sure if anyone else had the same issue.
Anyway, glad to see all is ok and I enjoyed this video.

Just found your Channel this evening due to a shout out from another YT Channel. I watched 2 Videos&subscribed (on #5 now). Love your humor, and the walks of course! 🖒🖒

This was a nice walk. Nice to see new places. Good video Marek. 😃👍👏

Only just seeing this but o snap. I live near Rochester, in a town called Gillingham.

My neck of the woods (not Shoulder of Mutton tho..............) Nice to see the countryside around and about Rochester from a different perspective other than the M2. Great walk! x J x

Snacking while hiking. Flapjack (no nuts). Recently I've found buying multipack fredo bars means nice wee choc treats. More recently I've had some dried beef strips.

I chose shirt B 🙁

i am swiss and live in germany but i had a daughter - sadly she passed away over ten years ago - who lived in london. and we went together over 25 years ago to rochester and i went alone one day to canterbury. i do not like churches because of the power they demonstrate but admire the ingenieurs and the masons and woodworkers and canterbury - built by anselm - is breathtaking. in royal tunbridge well i had a course with peter goldmann in spiritual psychotherapy over thirty years ago. good memories of all these places and looking forward to this video. i have seen a few with you and your make good videos. greeings and happy new year from stralsund on the eastern sea

Nice one.
