Sorry I circumvented your thread Dr. Cheese. I really enjoyed your film. It was very well done and enjoyable to watch. Was that you hiking over the mountains? I know you call them hills but they look like mountains to me.
Its totally flat down here on Long Island. I'd love to have hills like that to climb and I loved the lambies.

Insane Jane-Hicksville is a funny name, but so is Quogue! Speonk is a good one too. :lol:

Hicksville! hahaha

that reminds me of the time i was standing in line at a gig at Irving Plaza (nyc), before the days of internet when i started meeting up in pubs, and someone said how far they drove to get there, and i said i'd come about 4 hours (way farther than them lol) and they said 'where are you from?' and i thought i was making a joke by saying 'Oh, i live in Hicksville!'...meaning i doubted they'd have ever heard of the place i was from...and someone else said 'That's not very far!!!! :rolleyes:

' and i never got it until YEARS later when i actually saw on the map that there really was a Hicksville, NY! :lol:

so they really THOUGHT i was from Hicksville and hadn't really driven 4 hours! :lol:

That's way better than Intercourse, Pa!

I've never noticed Hackensack, Hohokus or Weehawken as being weird or funny because I lived by those towns for so long but out-of-towners always got a laugh.

I've also always wondered who or what Throg was, that the Throgs Neck Bridge is named after. Is it the Loch Ness of the Hudson? :lol:

We actually call the mountains/hills "fells" (in the Lake District where the film was shot which is where I live !!) and the rivers are known as becks. And what Dr Cheese was doing was fell walking !! And the roads on the fells are known are "fell roads" !! Bit of useless information for those of you who have never been here !!

You lucky get, whereabouts?

No, that's my mate Phil, he's usually the unwitting star of my photographic and cinematic exploits. It's very rare for me to appear in front of the camera although I was there too of course.

Cheers, I've not really done much video editing but I'm working on the principle that I can only get better.

Where would you ever get the word circumvent on the other forum.

Or fell?

Proud to fall maybe.

Cheesey, have you ever fell off one?

No, either by good luck or good judgement I've managed to survive intact everytime out! My mate fell off Broad Stand on Scafell last year though and broke his collar bone, the knobhead!
It doesn't look much but if you fall off you go a long way!

Yeah plenty high enough. See why you do it, but my idea of heights is the loft.
